Adding a new city in the weather tab WM6.1

Hello, does anyone know how to add a city that is in the Accuweather site, but is not on the standard cities in the weather tab on the WM 6.1?? I would like to have the weather for Atyrau, Kazakhstan addes to the cities list...
HELP!!!! thanks in advance!!!!

Try this!
Hi,
Changing the weather on your HTC to map a city that is not listed is a little tricky....and well...sometimes these attempts are unsuccesful. You've basically got two options:
Method 1: Mask the closest city to show your weather
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Software required: PHM registry editor
- First you need to find take a look at all the available cities and find out which is the city or town closest to yours geographically. I'm going to pick say 'Astana' since its already available.
- Select this city and set it as your preferred location.
- Now lauch PHM registry editor and navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCHome/Weather/Settings
WARNING: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE MODIFYING IT!
-Now Under settings find dword 'Location'
-Modify it and type in Atyrau, KZ
-Hit ok
Voila! Now your today plug in will show you weather for your city!
Method 2: Manually enter your cities name in the HTC today plugin
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This method is a little complicated and I wouldn't recommend this for newbies:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your gonna need the following software:
1. Total commander
2. Pocket Hosts
Both are freeware and can be downloaded.
- If your ROM supports it, you can edit the HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml (you'll find this under the windows directory)
- Clear the read-only check box for the file.
- Using total commander navigate to the file and click on file-->edit.
-Insert a duplicated line of xml code and change it to look exactly like this:
<city name="Atyrau, KZ" loca="ASI|KZ|KZ005|ATYRAU" land="Kazakhstan" />
- Save the file now and close it.
- Now start pocket hosts and click on 'add'
- Under Host Name type: htc.accuweather.com
- Under IP Address type: 64.62.158.108
- Hit ok.
Soft reset your device then activate the plug in for Atyrau. Enjoy
Additionally you can take a look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312795
Good Luck!

Unfortunately Total Commander says "out of memory" only 64KB files supported... when i try to edit the Weather "HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml" file.... why is this happening?
Can you help please?

I guess your rom wont allow you to make this change. This happens in certain types of roms. Have you made sure you unchecked read only under file attributes?
Try copying the weather xml file onto your desktop via activesync and make the changes on your desktop version and save it. Then rename HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml on your phone and save the desktop version of the file onto your phone under the default windows directory. Again this step wont work on all roms. Most of them wont allow you to change the name of a file. If that happens, its another dead end.
Use method 1, unfortunately I guess that's the closest you can get.

You'll have to be a little more specific about what you've done in order for members to help. Any way, if you're talking about HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml , try renaming the original file in \windows to something else first (or move the ori file to some other folder), then copy the new file to \windows.

HI
i tried to rename, delete or overwrite the original file but i get an error " can not rename HH_409..... access denied. make sure you have sufficient memory, that the file is not set read-only and you have permission to copy the file type.

Try this... Use Total Commander, point to the file, properties, change the attributes (uncheck the read-only). It should be ok.

I guess im doing something wrong i installed the totalcomander in the properties i see its tab read only in properties i unchecked the read only but when i go back to the file it appears again read only. i went into Edit but i get an error -- file to big.
any suggestions where I'm going wrong ?

I am not sure how else I can help you. Now try this.
1) Use Activesync - Copy the file to your PC (definitely editable on PC using Notepad), edit and save.
2) Copy back to any temporary directory in Jade (activesync)
3) Use TC to copy to \windows (keep a safe copy of original file somewhere)
Attached is my .xml file in case you may want to compare and copy to \windows.
Or follow this :

Hi azahidi
Thanks for all your efforts but no luck i think i guess there is something in the rom that dose not let me add cites i think the problem is in the registry. will use the phone with out weather.
another question i have may be you can help when i get a call and i answer the screen immediately goes black and then i need to open the phone each time the screen dose not stay on during the call.
Thanks

i copied your file i sow in total commander that the read only is un checked but yet i don't get the list of cities in the Weather Plug-in, i think the main problem is hear the registry and under hkey_local_machine
--software -- HTC --manila2D -- weather -- i found 0 to 4 each one represents a deferent city like Singapore bangkok i wonder how the registry looks in other jades.

In my HKLM\software\HTC\manila2D\weather, I have 0 to 5 and I figure out that this corresponds to the last 5 cities that I have added to the Weather Tab. I don't think this is the reason for your problem. I still believe it has something to do with HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. another suggestion here
1) copy the file I posted into any folder
2) Change properties - check Read only, check System - click ok
3) copy to \windows (replace current one) keep original one somewhere.
4) soft reset
One more thing to check: HKCU\MUI\CurLang value should be 1033 not 409.

Well i copied the file did everything but still not able to add cites in the tuchfl weather application i think may be the problem is in the registry as follows.

LocalWidget--0
MovetoWidget--0

then i have 4 bilt in countries 0-4Sing,bangkok,ech.. had 0-5 origenly but delited one by mistack,

Does it mean that you just cannot select and add another city (but just the 4) OR you can select but cannot update.
If you cannot select, check HKCU\MUI\Curlang. Is it 1033 or 409? If it is 409 you have to change to HH_0199_WeatherCities.xml
I don't think it's to do with the reg setting.

i cannot select or add any another city in the weather application in the tchfl. menu -- add location screen is blank like a read only screen in the place were to add a city can nor write any thing.
regarding HKCU\MUI\Curlang. i have 8201

I think that's the problem (See my previous post #7) follow this for explanation of codes. http://techsupt.winbatch.com/TS/T000001050F49.html HKCU\MUI\CurLang value should be 1033 or 409
Hope it works this time.

Just an FYI: I also got my Jade from Starhub here in Singapore, and I can add locations to the weather tab in TF2D... I can actually add cities in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe...

At long last works can update any city changed to 1033
thanks for your help

X1 Weather Panel forgotten city - solved

SE Panel supports weather.
Unfortunately some city is forgotten.
SOLUTION:
1) You need to know you City Code for your city:
- go to ULR: http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-list.asp?partner=netweather
- search your city NAME in the right input field
- check the URL reached after pressed the search button (example: last part of my URL is "loccode=EUR|IT|IT007|ROME")
Now you have found your City Code (in my example it is "IT007").
2) Browse on your X1: "\Programs\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel" to check "CITY.dll".
3) Copy the DLL on your PC and open it with a Resource Explorer/Editor like "XN Resource Editor"
4) There is just one resource: a CSV (comma text) file called "101" in "Japanese" language.
5) Export the resource and save it in an CSV file where you want on your PC
6) Open the CSV file with Notepad and edit it adding your City Cod. Please see other rows to use same format:
Example of one row: "1886,Roma,Italia,3600,EUR|IT|IT007|ROMA"
7) Save the CSV file
8) Delete existent resource "101 - Japanese" from the Resource Editor
9) Add a new resource to DLL (use "Import User Resource" if you are usint "XN Resource Editor") and browse to your new modified CSV file.
10) Change resource's language to "Japanese" (as you have found previous one) and change its name to "101" (it can be different, so you need to recreate the same previous internal resource's structure)
11) Save it!
12) Make a backup of original X1 "CITY.dll" and replace it with your modified one
13) Soft Reset!
That's it!

Thank you, this sounds fantastic.
Just tried it out but it doesn't seem to work.
When I copy the new CITY.dll into the panel folder, there are no cities to chose from anymore in the panel's options.
The whole list is empty.
I made exactly what you've written so I can't find the problem

The same for me, not even one entry is visible in list

Not Working....
I tried to add Cape Town, have no idea why SE left this one out....

Try REPLACING an existing city in the file instead of just adding a new one and make sure the length of the string you insert is the same ( ->Filesize before and after should be the same). Can't guarantee that it'll work, it's just a suggestion for you guys

My ****in' PC just doesn't let me save any files with XN Resource Editor. It always sais System Error 19. 'read only'

SE "Lost" City's
Hi Firefall
I have done both, new city and replace, both have the same result.
When i want to look up a city, there is none in the list.

SE "Lost" City's
I have mannaged to do this, and it works
You will need to have the following tools befor you start.
a. Total commander for WM, this will help to copy "CITY.DLL" to you mem. card - NB. The PANEL must not be in use, else you will not be able to copy and re-name the file
b. Hex editor - your choice.
c. Multiple file Signer - to digitally re-sign the finished dll.
d. CITY.dll with digital signature removed, i have done this for you, see attached file.
Here is a step by step How To.
1. Do "emandt's 1st step - get ino from : http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-l...ner=netweather
2. Open the CITY.dll in you editor - DO NOT EDIT IN ASCI, USE HEX - and take note of the format where the CITY information is stored - DO NOT ADD TO THE FILE -
3. Find a "city" that you can ammend, note the formatting and ammend the line with your required data. - DO NOT EDIT IN ASCI - make sure that the "Space" between the Chrs. are 0x00 and NOT 0x20
4. If there is additional charicters left after, DO NOT DELETE THEM, replace them with 0x00 not "space - 0x20" DO NOT ADD TO THE FILE .
5. Save the file and "Sign" it with Multiple file Signer - see .txt file if the "Sign" was done.
6. On your phone - "\Programs\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\" re-name "CITY.dll" to "CITY.dll.bak" - your safety net, backup of original file
7. Copy signed file to "\Programs\Panels\SonyEricssonPanel\".
You may now find your "City" listed. - Take that SE for not listing my city!!!
I added "Cape Town" to my list and it works 100%

Worked for me too, and i'm no computer wizz!...
cheers,

To my greatest surprise,
after 1 month my X1 came back to successful weather update.... By itself.
Have no idea how.

It worked! That's awesome, this has been annoying me for 6 months. Pretty shoddy work from SE though, the dll file seems barely half-finished.
Good work, thanks.

Very easy, just added Cape Town

hey Zodiac69, thanks for the info. I'm still struggling with mine tho, the cities list just comes up empty after the change, so I'm clearly doing something wrong... Would you be able to upload your CITY.dll file though, seeing as I see you're from CPT too...

Custom city in Weather tab in TF3D

I wanted to add Luxembourg-City to the Weather tab in TouchFlow3D using either Joe's WeatherMaster or the WeatherDatabaseEditor, but nothing works. Did something change with this new device? WeatherMaster gives me a NullReferenceException and WDE does not seem to do anything. I can select a city and just exit, but not add this city to the database. Or am I not understanding how this program works?

Did anyone found a solution to this problem? Is it possible to add custom city in the TF2D weather tab? Or shall we install an other programm? The weather database editor doesn't work...

I now found a solution. It was the first one I tried, but didn't work because of a stupid error.
You have to edit the hh_0409_weathercities.xml in the Windows folder and add a line with the desired city. You can get the code from accuweather.com by searching for your city. The code's in form of CONTINENT|XX|XXXXX|COUNTRY. Delete the trailing bar (|) or else it won't work.
To edit that file, you first have to copy it to a PC, edit it, copy it back somewhere on the phone (not the Windows folder, it won't let you). Then use different file browser (I used GSFinder+) to finally move that file into the Windows folder. Be sure to make a backup of the original file!

Are you sure that you have to delete the trailing bar? All the codes in the xml(hh_0409_weathercities.xml) that you say are with trailing bars... And something else... How do you edit an xml file? Wich prog do you use?

You can edit an xml file with any text editor. It's a simple text file.
All the codes in my file don't have a trailing bar, so perhaps you've got to try both ways.

Have yuo try?
Deleting the trailing bar (|) it works?
With they it don't works...
need a differt city in wheather...

weather PATCH
I understand that we need to use a patch for the weather!
Someone can help me to find?
Thanks to all

It is really simple. Just like petz79 wrote. Except you have to keep that code from accuweather as is (only change %20 character to space). That is only thing you need.
EDIT: It isn't. New city appears in list, but no weather data are downloaded .
EDIT2: I found interesting fact. When I save into XML line bottom, everything was ok.
Code:
<city name="Praha, CZ" loca="EUR|CZ|EZ001|PRAHA" land="Czech Republic"/>
But when I added this, no data were downloaded:
Code:
<city name="Praha, CZ" loca="EUR|CZ|EZ005|PRAGUE" land="Czech Republic"/>
Now I have two "Praha" items in list, but only one is working. Therefore adding of other cities must be hidden somewhere else.
EDIT3: I got it. AccuWeather has two lists - "Favourite cities selection" and "all cities". Weather app on iolite works only with "favourite cities" list, therefore no other cities can be added. I will try to hack it somehow, but I am not programmer, so probably no solution from me for this.

I found the solution. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3833726&postcount=79

What is your City?

Windsor, ON; Canada

I have no idea why. I think mebe because it's just so close to Detroit. Just use detroit. The closest city to Windsor on the list is London.

I guess it should be the same as for Diamond 1.
Here is the application for TD 1:
Weather Database Editor on Diamond
I have written a small application, that allows you to add, edit and delete Cities (for a given country) in Diamonds weather database.
At first you have to remove the write protection of database file (\Windows\2330fc3c_manila) by Resco Explorer and replace original manila.exe by patched version .
http://rapidshare.com/files/127920411/manila.zip.html
Then you can create new entries for your country (accu weather code can be taken from accu weather url of your city). New Cities will be append at the end of the list.
The solution was tested on ROM HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3.
I hope, the solution will also work for you.

Sorry, little lost, I can't find 2330fc_manila under the Windows Directory. Secondly, what do I do with the manila file you've uploaded? Do I merely replace it with 2330fc_manila? So, do I delete 2330fc_manila and copy manila you provided?
I tried running WeatherDatabaseEditor, however, I got the following error:
File Write Protection of database couldn't be removed
thanks in advance

Don't replace Manila.exe with this one. It will crash your TF3... Seems like we need another patched one

anyone got a better one? tf3d doesn't work with this one, thats for sure.

I've tried various things to add different cities, it seems that the weather list can be altered but touch flo somehow interferes with it and resets the list. Or at least, adds the default cities again.

I downloaded weather DB 1.1, 1.1 meins, 1.2 and .net framework.
I even forced, via registry, to use .net framework 3.5 over 2.0
I tryed to deactivate tf3d and install weather DB, adding my city, power off and then on (is this the way to soft reset?) my D2.
But EVERY time i push on Weather tab in tf3d,the tf3d reboot itself...i have to uninstall weather db to use tf3d again.
Do we need to wait for a new version of weather DB or what?
thanks in advance

It would seem so.
Stupid to miss off so many big locations though. I mean Ibiza isnt even on there, come on ffs!!!

Is there any update about this, since I also need more locations...hIf anyone finds something that works, let us know!
P.S. I am typing this from the Touch Diamond2!!!

I've been able to add my city, modify the db and it works fine.
here are the steps:
1. Install Database Weather editor
2. Shut down TF3D (settings, more, personal tab, today, elements tab and untick TouchFlo 3D)
3. With Totalcommander copy from \windows the file 2330fc3c_manila to your SD card
4. on your SD card, 2330fc3c_manila needs to be modified with properties, untick read only
5. copy 2330fc3c_manila from your sd card to \windows and overwrite the existing one.
6. run the Database Weather Editor and edit/add your cities
7. Restart TF3D the same way as on point 2, but tick Touchflow 3D
I just need to know exactly how to work with city codes as it shows me an error (unable to update your cities). can someone help on this with an example?

swissman - I obtained the data for the cities I wanted to add by going here;
Accuweather entering the city, & country, e.g. Ibiza, Spain and searching. Once you get to the weather page the data you need for the weather db is in the URL - e.g. locCode=EUR|ES|SP004|IBIZA|
Is this what you were asking?
I used a much more complicated method to add mine (Visual Studio & SQL Lite....) as I kept having write protect issues and other problems with the TD1 method from here.
Your method looks easier, so I'll try that if I ever need to add any more. I've kept a copy of the file, so in the event of a hard reset, or rom upgrade, I don't have to go through this all again...

The thing is that if I had for example Novigrad, which is the place I'm going to this summer, in Croatia. The end of the URL is: EUR|HR|HR000|NOVIGRAD
I modify the db with these settings (taking an existing city and editing, too lazy to type and I'm getting an error message when I try to update the weather: error during download of weather datas, would you like to retry?
I've tried even with creating a new city but still doesn't work... any idea?

Thanks, but it always restart tf3d when i try to go to the meteo (or calendar) tab in tf3d.
Opening 2330fc3c_manila with Resco Explorer, it says that that file is already NOT read-only so i have no need to modify it.
But after you install weatherdb, do u restart asap (with tf3d on) or before restarting you deactivate tf3d? (I did in this way)
And after you add a city, do you restart the topaz with tf3d on or off?
Thanks

Well I'm doing it exactly step by step as written on my previous msg. You can install the weather db normally with TF3D on, then you turn TF3D off, go take the manilla file, copy it to your SD card, change the read/write permission on your file on the SD card, copy/paste to \windows and overwrite the existing one. Then you can turn ON back TF3D and make all the changes to your weather db without any problems. Or you can try to modify the weather db with TouchFlow off and once you are done with everything, just turn on TF3D.
Have you tried to make a soft reset to fix your TF3D issues?

Yes of course i triedto soft reset, but tf3d restarts itself everytime i try to enter in the calendar or meteo tab.
But do u have touch diamond2 or HD or another htc phone?
However my manilla file in the windows dir has the "read only" permission already unticked.
Do i have to delete the 2 manilla file (the one called 2330 and the 1 called _2330) before installing weather db 1.1 meins? (1.1 and 1.2 give me an error prtection code when installing)

1. Install .NET CF 3.5;
2. Install http://www.computerfreakz.net/WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB
3. turn TF3D off.
4. run WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2
5. add the city off your choise.
6.restart TF3D
7. select your addition to the weather tab.
TADAAAAA. magic. (tested on Diamond2)
thanks to sn0x0r (GoT)
when you get an error remove the read only from 2330fc3c_manila
There is an issue however, when you select the new location on the clock the timezone is not correct. Anyone who has a solution for that, please let us know.

Can u link to _2330fc3c_manila file? It seems i don't have it anymore..
Thanks in advance
