Is it possible to make a cab just for the htc weather only? I would like to install just the weather app as a standalone today plugin rather than the full htc home. Thanks
May not be the perfect solution but why not just disable all other tabs in the today settings. Then it only displays weather?

I'm trying to avoid having to install the HTC home to begin with because it coflicts with my customized today skin... Im assuming this is already a dead issue since I couldnt get any answers. Thanks for the effort
I would love to have HTC Weather as a standalone program for my XPERIA
I would pay a resonable fee, to get this done.
Thank you,

Hi all,
I would like to know if it could be possible to have an app able to update automatically our position in the manila weather tab in using the last GPS coordinate knows.
In that way we could have weather information everywhere without touching our diamond.
...and it would be fantastic if the weather tab could show current local time for the locations too
I can dream....but I dont even know if that is possible

Nice idea! I like it.. That would be something i would use too ..
Pfew, the brainiac who can develop this is forever my hero!
For me too
This is kind of a challenge for the great developer visiting xda.
I really miss today plugins and having second today is inconvenient. so would be possible to install old htc home plugin? I read that it completely freezes phone, any solutions?
Have you had a look at Manilla Control? I'm not sure if it's running on the HD (but it runs on the Diamond, so it should be fine) but it lets you have a standard Today screen and Manilla and swap between them with a simple sweep gesture.
Maybe this should help:

Does not work. DO NOT INSTALL it on HD unless you want to hard reset.
Absolutely work PERFECTLY on TIM ITA branded models, maybe you've installed something else wrong
I'm proud to prove what I've posted:
Hello!
I'm using a french version of HTC HD and also looking for HTC Home plugin.
The only one I've got to work have a really to small display.
If I had to hard reset like mcano annouces it I prefer not to try this version!!!!
Is there another solution?
Thanks Vysus , I tried it ...but didn't work on the french HTC HD
Sorry for you, my friend
Maybe you've pre-installed something else that causes a conflict with the plugin. I repeat: it works perfectly, as you can see...
HTC Blackstone TIM ITA: work
Thnx my friend, I thought I was the only one to have it working
Instead you could disable HTC TF3D and use MobileShell 2
It combines both. Features from TF3D and todayscreen plugin with programs/weather/contacts aso. Also it´s skinable. There are skins that are looking quite as tf3d - but much better favorite contacts.
It´s worth a look

No it is not free.
But it is a great program.
Just curious if you can use normal Windows Mobile Themes and backgrounds on the Elf?
Yes you can.
Yes you can. Assuming by normal Windows mobile themes you mean standard themes on QVGA resolution. You can also just use plain background images as well, just look for files with the .tsk extension. These can automatically be applied through your today screen.
alright, I was just curious, I was told you cant use the normal tsk files anymore, and that the Elf did not support a Home Screen anymore since the home screen has the custom HTC style....pretty much I am still able to use any tsk file, as long as it is QVGA correct?
Thanks for the clarification and quick reply....
Also has there been any problems on record with TomTom...When I get mine I am hoping to get TomTom on, but not sure if it is compatible with the new TouchFlo interface.
Thanks!

lol....yes the home screen can still be changed. The tsk file changes the background and the color theme of your phone. You can choose to toggle the default HTC home screen on or off through your today screen settings under start-->settings-->personal-->today-->Items. Either ways it doesn't have any impact whatsoever on the functionality of the tsk file. You can customize it to your hearts content Infact, you can even customize the default HTC home sceen using this app
ahh...very nice I have been debating this or a Wing....
Tom Tom has no issues either?
Last thing I need is to buy a phone and have TomTom software I spent money on be useless

Not sure about tom tom. I don't use it.....not aware. Check somewhere on the forums....I'm sure I remember seeing the name tom tom come up pretty often though. For reasons good or bad....I dont know
Hi all
Now the Today page is much improved I've ditched TF3D which is simply too bloated for me. I've rooted around the XDA dev site and tried the Showaco Titanium Weather plug-in but it doesn't work for me.
I'm seeking advice and suggestions if only to redirect me to the correct XDA sub forum.
Many thanks
Tony
search for cheroclock. it has weather in it. and lot of other titanium plugins have it as well...
I also looking for the weather panel, but I dont need the clock, just something simple.
titanium
same here
loving the new today screen, but would like to have weather there as well

Thanks for this. I know nothing of the other installs required (mortscript and chrome editor)
I'll try to research the process and install this.
If any other have any other weather plugin ideas please come forward!

It's not free but it's not expensive either. Elecont is the best weather program I've ever used and it now has a Titanium plugin. www.elecont.com
hey everyone! i got a question lol..
i decided to go with the tmobile 6.5 and was wondering is there way to have the the animated weather on the home screen? like in the newer sense
Hello
Yes,it is possible,of course.
I do not know about Tmobile ROMs though,but about HTC custom ROMs I do know.
You just need to install custom,official HTC WM6.5 ROM,and you will have everything on it...animated weather especially looks great.
You know the procedure of flashing? If you do not,go to ROM section,this is not a thread for it.
yes i know how to flash..
been coming here since my touch pro1 but i recently flashed to the tmobile rom just too check out the new upadate to 6.5..so i need the official htc rom instead?
You need to run a rom that specifically has the Sense 2.1 (notice SENSE and not just regular 2.1) or a rom that runs manilla 2.5. Either of those has the weather background you are talking about.
The problem is that T-Mobile changes the default wallpaper to something other than the animated weather wallpaper. I am looking for a way to enable the animated weather wallpaper on the TMOUS ROM and will post back if i find anything.

You can try this way. Pick a T-Mobile wallpaper you want. Use HDWall to make a cab from that wallpaper. Install the cab file and soft reset.
From what I can tell, T-Mobile replaced the animated weather wallpaper with some T-Mobile.png for the default wallpaper. Can anyone upload the animated weather wallpaper from the EU ROM or similar?
HTC Sense
Well guys,
I am reading all these posts,and I just wanted to give you all a small advice...
I realize that most of you guys live in the USA or Canada,and I can understand why do you want TMobile ROM that much.
However,I highly recommend official,stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM,because it has all the stuff we need.
Our friend asked for weather animated screen. So,if you really want that,install the ROM I mentioned and enjoy. No hacks,no registry editing,no nothing. Just flash and enjoy.
Besides,it has a lot of functions you will like a lot. ( And you will get a real,Windows Mobile 6.5 look..........
Best regards from Serbia.
well the official ROM is nice because then we don't have to load cabs for the keyboard and MMS fixes. As well as cabs for the my account, VVM, and myfaves if you happen to use it. I did run the EU ROM for a couple months until I found something better and it was great. But I do not need the animated weather wallpaper bad enough to prefer to install all the extra cabs i would need to make my phone work for me.
If you could go into your phone and attach the animated wallpaper then we could load it onto our phones as the default wallpaper and it would make life much happier
Animated Weather aka HTC Sense
@Zylograth
Well,I am really willing to help you guys,but maybe you know the following:
Animated Weather is highly complicated program,which is not consisted of animated wallpapers only. It changes according to weather...if it is rainy,small drops are all over the phones screen,if it is snowy,snowflakes are all around...if it is sunny,sunlight is all over the place..it is the most beautiful today screen I have ever seen.
However,I will try to figure something out. So far,I know it takes about 25 MB of RAM...can you imagine how big that .CAB file would be,when it takes about 25 MB of RAM? I need to find a way to extract it from my ROM and make it usable,(if it is possible at the first place,but I doubt)
Yeah, I am not too worried about it, though it would be nice to have. If I decide that I cannot live without it I will go back to the EU ROM, but for the time being I am happy with the TMOUS ROM lol

Thanks to El Daddy, weather animations are as simple as using HD walls and the hack below (old HD walls cabs made in winmo 6.1 work, too)
Awesome!

I just used a HD walls cab and made 2 reg edits.
HKCU/software/htc/manila/
delete the value for CashedBackgroundPath and HomeBackgroundPath. That should work!
