Is it possible to add new tabs at the HTC Touch FLO Home screen? I have the Telstra ROM and and Telstra as an operator has added a tab "My Place" there. So I think technically it is possible.
A tab that I would like to see is to display stock and share price. Like the weather tab, it needs to get data online and should be configurable.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. If anyone has info on how to add Tabs to the HTC Home, please share you info here.
I found a post detailing how to add some weather locations at http://www.avforums.com/forums/htc-mobile-phone-discussions/1081931-htc-hd2-15.html#post10873219

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks
Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.
And it works very well too
AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.
Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.
why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys
I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.
Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.
My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks
My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!
I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?
Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.
You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box

I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp
Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.
I Want to save my home location but it does not find it under the search it only finds the city. how can I save the 'local' area.
Is it also possible to edit where it gets the data from like i could on my raphael?
weather updates
Please can anyone help?
I think it's from Accuweather - http://www.accuweather.com/.
This has been covered before, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589132, amongst others.
ive just got my new HTC touch2 and i cannot find away how to change my current location on home screen, it says rockville? im in england. also is there a way to change the background on the other screens apart from the home.
thanks
For the first question - i succeeded to change location to my town after i installed Weather Update from HTC site, but if your phone is operator one you need to hack it before that (HSPL).

start-settings-system-regeional settings,
then select your location from the list
To answer your other question: to change your homescreen and other tab screens use M2DC application.
Hello everybody,
Can somebody help me with following problem;
When I select the weather tab, there is a default location.
Somehow I managed to put this on "Kerkrade". This is the town
where I live. (NL)
However when I try to update it start searching the location,
but it does not update this location.
When I add another location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade"
the phone updates the weather in this tab.
So this is not a Wifi problem
I think the location "Kerkrade" does not exist, but how can I change the default location to "Heerlen-Kerkrade" ?
Maybe it is very simple, but I can't see the option to change this.
Thanks in advance,
Maurice
htt p://lmgtfy.com/?q=add+city+to+weather+%20topaz+xda and take firs lik from the top
Hello,
Thanks for the link....
But this link describes how to add your own cities. I have the problem that default city is "Kerkrade" and there is no way to change(=delete) it. I can't delete it either, because it is not listed.
I can add a new location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade" which works fine.
But on the clock screen, the phone uses de default weather. This is the default one, which I can't delete !
This added one "Heerlen-Kerkrade" I can delete, but the default city I can't delete because my HTC does not see it. If I select update in the default one it say "IDS State 8" below the city.
Is there a way to kill "Kerkrade" in my phone ? Or kill all weather data, so I can start again (without hardreset)
Regards,
Maurice

Hello fighter7139,
That patch did fix my problem partly. Indeed it deleted my default location in the weather tab, which is good.
But on the first tab (clock) it still displays the weather for the deleted one.
It still says "Kerkrade". Is there any way to force my phone to select the
right one?
Thanks,
Maurice
Hi all,
I fixed it.
I found the solution in the thread of fighter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563204
To turn it off "My Location" in the home screen tab, simply tap the clock, add a city, and make this city active. After that, you will have the home tab (and the weather tab, of course) displaying data for this city.
Suberb,
Thanks for your help !
Groeten uit Nederland,
Maurice
