Hi,
Seeing different posts that I wanted to collaborate, I tried to "kill several birds by only shotting once".
I just programed an application that updates automatically the weather information on different program, using different sources, and the GPS Ephemeris.
With this program you can:
-Keep updated the weather Icon of Slide2Unlock and update it 3 times a day only downloading once from internet.
-Keep updated the HTC today weather with your local informations, gathering the information from any two servers, i.e. AccuWeather.com and Wetter.com
-Download once every 2 days the GPS Ephemeris information to get a quick GPS fix.
Why wetter.com additionally? wetter.com is proved to be more accurate and it provides more information (for example time of the day forecast).
Why not using the normal HTC today update system? With MMeteo you can specify from which server to download from, and in this way you can download from your own local weather info.
Additionally, it sets the Title with the information from another weather information source, and it is updated 3 times a day with only one download a day from internet.
Why another application to download the Ephemeris? This applications allows to specify from where to download, and if one server is not working (which has happened several times with the default one service.mio-tech.com), it is possible download from another server.
Why everything together? It is just more efficient than having different applications programmed to be started automatically periodically, connect to internet and download. Also it is possible to set the program only to do one thing, (i.e. only updating the GPS Ephemeris data).
Additionally, it emulates a WAP browser in all internet connection. This makes possible to keep everything updated for free using any of the WAP flatrates like o2flat in Germany or o2 flatrate in UK.
Neither the Windows Mobile application to download GPS Ephemeris nor the HTC today plugin work on these flatrates. With MMeteo it is possible to keep everyting updated for free using one flatrate connection.
To download it:

I was based on (and I have to congratulate) the following great applications:
HTC Homeplug Weather fix:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
Automated quick GPS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292178
The program can be personalized only by editing a .ini file.
Detailed, this program does the following (copied from the source):
-For all the internet connections it performs, it emulates exactly the Pocket Internet Explorer, in this way it is compatible to all Wap Flat rates like the o2flat from Germany, or o2 flat rate from UK.
-It sets itself to autostart the following day at updateTime, and also at middayStart and nightStart
(at updateTime (the first run of the day) is when it sets the autostarts for the following day)
-Once every EphemerisDaysToWait it downloads the file from URLephemeris and copies it to FILEephemeris
-Once per day, at updateTime, it updates form internet the files FILEaccuweather from URLaccuweather, and FILEwettercom from URLwettercom
-Once per day, at updateTime, it updates the HTCtoday plugin with information from FILEaccuweather
-Three times per day,at updateTime, at nightStart and at nightStart, it updates the HTCtoday Title with information from the file FILEwettercom
-Three times per day,at updateTime, at nightStart and at nightStart, it also updates the registry registerKey1/registerKey2 with the information taken from the file FILEwettercomToRead
(this is usefull for example to update the weather information from the program Slide2Unlock)
-It updates the registerKey1/registerKey2Userdata with the value registerKey2UserdataValue
-It also sets to autostart the program FILEprogramToStart to start at updateTime before updating from the files
-If you want more information about weather you can open locally with the pocket Internet Explorer the file FILEwettercom, and if you have the icons in the same folder you will also see the prediccions graphically (add the file to favorites or create a shortcut to the FILEwettercom

you said "With MMeteo you can specify from which server to download from, and in this way you can download from your own local weather info."
so -how to do it? I found nothing in the info
You only have to open the mmeteo.ini file with a text editor, and change the server there. Inside this .ini file there are several parameters to personalize the program behavior.
To change the server from where to download from (and set for example your own server using this script), you have to change the value of URLaccuweather.
If you want, you can also add to download (additionally) from another server with the format of Wetter.com. For this case, either change the value of URLwettercom or if you set your own server with the included php script meteo-wettercom-pda.php then you have to enter it at URLwettercomfitered.
you mean i should only modify one string in ini-file and everything will work??
if i, for example, want to use http://www.gismeteo.ru/towns/27612.htm
Exactly. It is only needed to modify the .ini file to change the server.
The server you mentioned is in Russian, you should put a "translator" in the middle. I Mean, a php script in a internet server that downloads the weather info and adapts it. Then the MMeteo should call this php script and not the Russian web page. This method has the advantage that you can minimize the traffic needed to get the weather info.
Hi,
Nice work on MMeteo! Being a user of the O2 wap flat and I really like the WAP browser emulation! I think I got the program running OK, but I'm not sure with the weather data. After running MMeteo.exe there is some updated text weather information on the HTC home plugin field but the icons do not appear, instead the weather plugin still complains about 'no data'. Is it possible to display the proper weather icons with HTC Home plugin with the data extracted from wetter.com/accuweather.com?
I use a HTC Artemis with a cooked ROM, where HTC-home is installed in the ROM (\WINDOWS directory).
Anyway, the Epheris update works!
C.
Thank you for this app, i've stopped paying attention to the accuweather plugin cos it's never accurate for my town.
So from i read you can pick your own weather server? Perhaps people could post weather servers as they find them and we can build up a list. I'd like to use the bbc or the met office. I'll go have a look shortly to find the server. Must admit i've no idea what i'm looking for!
Cheers!
I'm having problems getting this to run
Dumped the files directly into the Windows folder but when I try and launch the exe it says that it can't find the ini file
Any ideas?
Ok, got past that bit
Think I know need the webpage in html
The program sound interesting, but I can't get it to run. Thanks for any help.

I am trying to get Pocket Internet Explorer to launch a local program from
a file:/// URL. This used to work on XDA I, II and IIi but WM 5.0 seems to
have disabled that (probably rightly so!). Is there anything that I can do
to setup the device to allow this to work.
To date I have managed to get a link to launch a program from a webpage
held on the devices filesystem but if I try the same page when it is hosted
on a webserver the launch is silently ignored.
I suspect that this is something to do with security zones but I cannot find
any information as to how to configure these or even if it will work.
Any help appreciated.
Did anyone ever figure out how to get this page to update Via GPRS? Mine will only update from an AS Connection or if I happen to have WiFi on at the time. But, if I am connected using GPRS then it fails to recognize internet connectivity. (Yes, I do have wap.voicestream.com available and I am paying for the basic service).
Thanks in advance for any information you provide.
The reason could be that your GPRS connection is set through a proxy server.
I have the same problem with my GPRS.
Only if you can set the proxy address in your programs or can patch the program to except a proxy address you will be successful.
There is no other way to bypass a providers fixed proxy as far as I'm informed.

Actually, Come to think of it, I wouldn't think it would present a problem; The Weather plug-in is part of the HTC Touch - which presumably is built to use either GPRS or whatever available at the time. Thus it should work just the same on any similar unit.
Yes you are right, but some a provider offer a few different data subscriptions.
So with certain GPRS supscriptions you have only access certain ports which are defined be the provider.
I for example have a WAP & Email flatrate supscription, which allows me to surf wap pages and receive push mail.
Without simple modifications I would not be able to also surf on http sites.
If I would use a different GPRS option from my provider I would be able to surf with no porblems or use any kind of programs accessing the web.
I once had Spb Weather installed on my XDA and was only able to use my GPRS flat with it if I had a patched .exe of Spb Weather installed so it could pass the restricted O2 proxy.
I hope you get my point.
To simplify it, if you are able to use the Live Messenger on your xda with GPRS then you should also be able to update the Touch weather plugin.
BTW - SPB mobile shell wont waste such a great space on todayscreen - which for me is important for appointments and there are no problems with weather etc.
And looks nice.
And the now screen - i´m searching
You can find more infos here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/screenshots.html?de
And in black with digital clock it looks nice.
And the menu strukture is perfekt for onehanded using.

there is a reghack:
search for "GPRS" and there msut be a value "enableDIfferGPRSicon" or something like that.
Set it to 1 and it will change from "G" = when GPRS (little slow) or "E" = EDGE (faster) is available.

Weather panel 5 days forecast
after i installed the HTC Home plugin, the "Download weather automatically" was enabled since then. I'm wondering why the weather panel, displays only the forecast of the last update even 2days already past. It will display the current weather forecast ONLY when you CONNECT or get update through the internet. The succeeding forecast will not display until you updated. It seems the 5 days forecast is not working properly.
i noticed that after i installed the plugin, the HTC home folder was not in the /Windows folder. is this normal? do i need to copy some files into my /windows folder?
Is there any way that the weather forecast will display the succeeding forecast without updating it to the internet since there are 5 days of forecast?
It's not perfect, but I thought I would share what I wrote to get free TV listings. Feedback is welcome, but I can't guarantee I will get a chance to do a revision.
TVQuick v1.0
What it is
I wanted a free way to check TV listings, I wrote this and it works for me
It downloads the HTML text for a 3 hour window of your choosing from Yahoo TV
It parses this code into a text view of the first 54 channels of your provider. My provider has > 700 channels so I limited it to 54.
The program saves the last quide and will display it on the next startup
What it isn't
Tested only on a WM6 PPC 6800 Mogul
Tested only with my provider - not sure what will have with a different provider with fewer channels
Slow - the download is pretty fast, but the HTML parsing is slow, be patient or use the Abort option
To Use
Unzip TVQuick.zip and move "TVQuick.exe" and "HTTP.dll" to a directory of your choice (I use a folder called TVQuick in My Documents)
TVQuick will create files for preferences and the last guide in the same folder as TVQuick
Go to Yahoo TV in your web browser at "http://tv.yahoo.com/", select "TV LISTINGS". You will need to logon and select a provider
Run TVQuick and enter the provider code in preferences (the code is after "provider=" in the URL: http://tv.yahoo.com/listings?starttime=1199635200&showFavorites=1&provider=132024)
Known Deficiencies
When first run, sometime a resource error will appear - just restart and it should be OK
No horizontal scroll bar
Some plain text junk makes it through the parser
Slow
Landscape/display rotation not yet implemented
D-Pad and other subtil user interface desires not yet implemented
Looks promising. I have a question though...I am unable to get my provider code from Yahoo. The link stays tv.yahoo.com.
Also, I made a cab file for the files if you're interested I could post it.
really nice prog. does it function with italian tv list?
the url syntax is a bit different

Thanks for the cab, I may make some changes so I will wait on that.
Try this, first login to Yahoo (It will have your login name in the upper right hand corner of the page). From tv.yahoo.com, select "TV LISTINGS" under "TV HOME", this should get you the listings. On the right hand side of the page, the provider will be listed if you have already set it up, otherwise you must enter it in. If you can use yahoo to display your local TV listings, the provider ID will be in the URL: "http://tv.yahoo.com/listings?starttime=1199840400&showFavorites=1&provider=32105425" - in this case 32105425.
Good Luck.

Thanks- it might. Unfortunately I can't read enough italian to get the listing. If you logon to Yahoo and use it to get your local information, it might work. The guide needs to be customized to your location using the normal browser. The URL should end up with some type of time code and location/provider code (the one you have looks generic, like tv.yahoo.com). Once we have this we should be able to make it work. Let me know.

Hi,
ok here's the thing: the htc weather forecast plugin on the home screen (tested on htc TyTn II and windows mobile 6) connects to a remote http server to retrieve forecasts by xml.
Problem is that the mobile operator I use filters the user-agent of the http requests and only accepts the ones with "vodafone" keyword in it. Thus HTC http requests are trashed.
I already patched the windows mobile registry Internet settings to replace the current one with a "vodafone" like, but I didn't find any way to replace this HTC weather plugin http client user-agent... I hope it's not hard coded in a .dll or stuff.
Anybody has an idea about that ?
Thanks.

I have been seeing various posts on people struggling to make BBConnect work on HTC Touch Pro 2 a.k.a Rhodium and thought I would put down a step by step guide from various posts put down through this forum So rejoice all you HTC Touch Pro 2 owners like me BB Connect is finally working and so is Multiple APN's. I have BB Connect Enterprise and GPRS connecting simultaneously and its showing up on the notifications manager.
This step by step solution is thanks to Cornholio, Absahnen & NRGZ8(The Master Chef who cooks wonderful ROms across devices)
So Here Goes
Step I: GET YOURSELF A NEW ROM:
Trying to install Blackberry Connect is very buggy on most of the stock ROMS and will keep on failing. So go and get yourself the latest NRGZ8 ROM for Rhodium I am using Build 21877 27th Nov Standard Manila 2.1. The ROM is anyway faster with almost no bugs and free of Junk that you see on standard ROMS
download the ROM from this link:
http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Step2: CHANGE AKU SETTINGS
This change is needed to make BB Connect work on WinMo 6.5 ROMS.
Using a registry editor go to HKLM/System/Versions
There you will see the aku key usually on any WinMo 6.5 ROM its .5.xx.xx change the aku value to .1.6.0(.1.6.3 didnt work, the connection was getting dropped)
Step 3: FOOLING YOUR BB CONNECT SOFTWARE TO THINK YOUR DEVICE IS A RAPHAEL
The Rhodium is not yet supported by RIM and looks like they have withdrawn support for further devices. Therefore you need the BB connect to believe that your Touch Pro 2 is a Touch Pro i.e. Your Rhodium is a Raphael. To do this you have to make registry changes you can use any registry editor I used Resco Registry Editor which loads when you load Resco Explore on your device To do this follow the steps below very carefully, using the registry editor
Instructions:
------------
- Uninstall any BB Connect software if you loaded.
- Attached find a rar file which contains SetModelID.exe. Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Using any registry editor of your choice navigate to HKLM\init Create a new String Value with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number greater than 130, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe isnt started after every softreset.
- Do a softreset
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.
- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the BB Connect desktop app
STEP 4: ENABLING MULTIPLE APN'S
This will allow you simultaneously have an active BBConnect and a GPRS connection active at the same time
Go to:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
or do a google search for your specific operators MCC/MNC nos
Create the two DWord Value Entries below if they arent there:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
And voila you will have multiple connections running simultaneously you can get your BB Mails as well as see Youtube videos over GPRS. I managed to do this over a frustrating 48 hour period and I thought will share this for anyone seeking an answer.
Cheers and enjoy
Man! The guide looks great! but it makes my brain hurt!!! Arggg!!!
(Hardly understand some part of the guide.)
: )
Heres my step by step, plus all the software and a cab called black berry that someone else kindly put together for me that does all the registry steps (and makes the multiple APN switch for TMOB US). (BTW this has worked on EVERY ROM I have used, 6.1, 6.5, 6.53, sense 2.1 and 2.5):
['black berry cab' does all these]:
Copy SetModelID.exe into windows
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3 [which works for me]
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\...
Create new ones or edit your relevant operators GPRS and UMTS to 3
[for US find them in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_codes_in_the_United_States]
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Soft Reset
Install BB Settings CAB
(I always create a shortcut in programs from 'BB Settings' in Program Files/Blackberry - its a quick way to run this file later)
Either: Using BB connect desktop for WM 'configure wireless handset' (see below)
Or: get new key generated by your company's tech support and enter them into BB Settings on your device
(Activesync blackberry connect desktop setup can be found at http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bb_desktop_4.0.0.22.zip. I use this becuase YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN KEY and configure your handset again and again which means you dont have to bug tech support every time you burn a new ROM, which I do every few days!)
for some reason I cant upload the blackberry connect cab, so here is the link http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.106.cab
black berry cab is attached.

I had my rhodium working with BB connect but no multiple APNs... had to manually suspend BB service and enable GPRS everytime I needed anything from the internet. Those days are gone now!!!
Now, have you ever wondered why is it that BB Messenger, being a Java application, can not be ported to WM and run on our TP2s? I mean, we have our BB data plans, a PIN# and are connected to the Blackberry service.. what else do we need for BB Messenger to work?

You are welcome Roberto. I havent yet come across any cab for BB messenger. There has been talk of a BB application suite to run on WinMo but I havent seen any beta's also of that floating around. If you do come across any BB Messenger cab do post it here or PM me the cab.
Most reliable method
Here is what I do...I think it is the most reliable method....and I have used it with just about every ROM out there and it works...everytime...It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy and after the first ROM flash you will know what do do for any others...I actually learned this from this site and MUCH smarter people than me...so thanks to all those who helped get Blackberry Connect working. Without this site I might still have an 8525 because I need blackberry connect...!
Installing Blackberry connect...this has to happen in this order...
1. Download a ROM
2. Edit the ROM using the information from here, it looks complicated but takes less than a minute essentially you use the program you download to change any reference to Rhodium to Raphael using a search: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html
3. Flash the edited ROM.
4. Install the CAB file I attached it will change the AKU for you...I actually put it in my UC script so it automatically installs before Blackberry Connect...
5. Install Blackberry Connect version 4.0.0.106
Allowing Multiple APN's (This can happen at ANY time)
Follow step four in the original guide or if you are AT&T all you have to do is use a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\Operator Contexts\310410 and change UMTSContextNumber to 2. If you use 2 then you don't have to worry about anything else like deleting the Network Contexts entry....

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

It won't auto complete. If you click the menu and use the "check Names" feature it will first look in your address book and then if you hit Lookup it will look in the global address book. A little more cumbersome but it works.

I have not been able to send photos from the camera in the last several Roms...so I think it is the newer Album that doesn't allow it. You can still send it by attaching it when creating an email, but yes this is a little cumbersome as well...

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

hi there, i have the same problem of not having a pin on my tp2, my carrier says the pin is on the device here is a copy and paste of my carrier web iste when i tried to activate the service
"To find your PIN perform one of the following actions:
* In the BlackBerry device options or settings, click Status.
* Look for the PIN and IMEI information on the outside of the box that your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device came in.
* Turn the BlackBerry device off and remove the battery. Look for the sticker on the BlackBerry device with the PIN information where the battery is usually located."
Nice tutorial, patcat007. On my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM my BB Connect work. Anyway, when I change the AKU to .1.6.3, something happens with graphics in my dialer like in the picture attached. Anyone could help to correct this? Thank's!
