Alternative weather source in Spb Mobile Shell? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey there,
Spb Mobile Shell displays weather info from Gismeteo. Is there any way (hack, workaround, whatever) to change the weather source in MS? I've been through the forum with a search but didn't find anything.
(Yeah, I know that you can define weather sources in Spb Weather, but for the purpose of this thread I'm interested in Mobile Shell.)
Grateful for any pointers.
N.

I use weather.com for my source in mobile shell. I have the latest version of SPB weather 1.7.4, I found these instructions on the SPB forums.
1.Create \templates subfolder in Program Files\Spb Weather
Copy *.tpl file to this folder. (Use ActiveSync-Explorer for it)
2.Go to the Options of Spb Weather->Tools->Weather Sources
3.Click on Add button
4.Click on Browse button
5.Specify the folder where you placed *.tpl file
6.Select your file from this folder and Click on OK
7.Click OK Again and Again
8.Go to the Cities Tab in Options and Click to Add button
9.Select the Custom menuitem
10.Type your City name
11.Select Weather.com in Forecasts listbox
12.There you should know your city code, e.g. RSXX0091 for Saint-Petersburg, Russia
this code is mentioned in URL:
http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/hourbyhour/RSXX0091?from=36hr_topnav_business
(US users may use ZIP code as citycodes)
Enter your city code.
14.Click Ok and Ok again
15.That's all Refresh your City and you will get the weather forecast from Weather.com

After doing that, the and selecting SPB weather plugin for my weather tab...the tab displays my custom city with forcast from weather.com
you can find templates here.

My apologies if I misunderstood the question, I do not think you can with MS alone, if you could...why would you need SPB weather

shutter13,
even if it was a while ago, still thanks for your contribution.

Well, indeed that's what I meant. I was hoping maybe someone might have looked into the code of Mobile Shell. Thanks anyway.

Ultimate launch question.

Trying to create a button link to "settings" in my verizon ppc for UL, any ideas?
thank you very much.
Jon
"UltimateLaunchConfig.exe" is the app. What kind of "button link" do you want? In a UL button? or a hard button?
If you mean create a button to show the settings menu, this should work for you:
Go to Windows\Start Menu
Copy Settings
Paster a shortcut (for settings) anywhere.
create a new button using the shortcut you created​

Much respect to all first and foremost. From my experience with UL, that may work for some applications located in the Windows folder, but not all. For instance, you cannot create a shortcut for the Today settings to switch up your themes, Power/Soft Reset , or even Remove Programs either. There's a slew of programs that can't be made into shortcuts within UL. It's perhaps a limitation of UL.
But there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. If one desperately wants to create /include such applications (Power, Resetting, Today, etc) with UL, one can install Mobile Shell because it create shortcuts in itself, which UL can then detect. Pocket Plus may be able do the same, but I'm uncertain.
Also, the word on the street, the next version will be 'better' and I don't have the slightest clue as to when that release will surface. I'm no expert, just a big fan like of UL. My two cents.
this answer is a little bit wrong:
1. you can make a Shortcut to ANY wm setting. example: command: ctlpnl, param: cplmain.cpl,10 (for uninstalling software) search in the other ul threads.
2. Daniel Who wrote UL made also some "smartutilities" for make calll, toggle wifi, softreset and many more, google for it. this are small .exe you can link to.
yes, i was attempting to have a button inside of UL access the settings area. I have the xv6700 which appears to have a problem with keeping UL on the today screen after a soft reset. so before I soft reset I need to change my today plugin to something else. otherwise when i reboot nothing shows up and will not load any other plug-ins. Makes it easy to have a quick link cause I'm not a stylus fan.
Thank you very much guys. would have never thought of making a short cut of it. thanks again!

Good information. This seems to be a hot topic at the moment and assume this info hasnt been highlighted before. Perhaps a brave soul will post some shortcut command params, directions/instructions in their spare time, and have them listed/located in one thread for easy like the icons. (And also some of those "smartultilities" as well).
How about game area ? my problem 's it's difficult to create all game in icons. so I would like to make a link to call all game folder as when we call it by startmenu

Well, I'm not very brave, but I knew this page existed on PPCSG.COM, so I thought I'd share it. It shows how you can create .LNK files to many of the Settings Applets. Hope it helps.

Here is a link to majority of the settings options:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340974
Just find the one you want, open notepad on your PC copy the line into notepad, with only that text, and save as power.lnk, for example, then have the button set to that link.
Any Idea on how to add a folder shortcut? I want to have my different photo albums
Is there a way to specify the appropriate ICON in the .lnk file? I have the "cplmain.cpl,26" working but it just shows a generic icon.
Just change the icon in the display tab.

Did you ever get an answer on this? If so, how do you make a shortcut to a folder? I've tried using the context menu of creating a shortcut and then having UL point to the shortcut but it doesn't open it.
Thanks for any info!
would like to know this as well.

I hadn't used this yet, but resco explorer has an option (you have to edit the regsitry for it) that let's you load folders according to command line arguments (then you can use UL to load the folder in resco straight using a command line).
you should check it out.

- Things i want to sort out (will take longer, or will never be created, or do you help me?)
How to create CAB files for the custom menus.
Figure out how to add custom Icons to the things you add to the menus:
You can add an icon by extending the command with a "?", followed by the dll/exe file that holds the icon, and adding the index of that icon in the dll/exe file (you need a resource editor to find the index).
The following is a shortcut to the memory applet, with the memory module icon; note the questio mark, and what follows:
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?shellres.dll,-13900
So, i need to figure out what this exactly means.
It's working with SK Shortcut manager, but there's got to be a easier way
- Requests: (Can you help me?)

LNK files: SPB shell actions from SPB Menu (folders & applications)...
Hello all,
I was playing around with Shell and found something that some people might like... Linking directly to the folders that SPB Mobile Shell uses.
Example:
I'm using Ultimate Launch, now with one touch off a button from the today-screen i can see active tasks, see the phone profiles and even deeper in the folders and start directly programs that normaly only can be accesed by opening spb menu (create ink/text note instantly, set phone profile instanly).
Opening a shortcut [Organizer].lnk with notepad did show me:
130#"\Program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer\"
Example off a created .LNK file:
128#"\Program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Messaging"
If you save this as a .LNK file, you can acces the Messaging menu from spb mobile shell.
I'm using:
SpbMobileSHell2.1.1 NL arm (but it should work with any SPB Shell 2.* version)
Looked in the register how to "code" the file and it worked
Making *.LNK files is pretty easy:
Open the files attached on your device to see the effect.
Open the files attached on your desktop PC in notepad to see the "code".
I did not test this on other devices or with other versions. I've putted all the files in one ZIP file. Personaly i like the phone profiles & Mediaplayer links allot
* the dutch version (i personal use) has the link "Programmabestanden" instead of "Program files"
What is in the zip file: direct link (LNK file to run on your device) for:

LNK files nothing to do with spb mobile Shell:
New SMS.LNK
New Email (OPEN IN NOTEPAD FIRST!).LNK
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "HERE" -to ""
You need to replace the word HERE with the name off your emailclient.
Also delete everything except the first line and save it with LNK extension.
---
What is NOT in the zip file (but can be done when much requested):
Settings: All the links that are in "SPB Menu" can be created as an *.LNK file.
Browse files: Needless in my opinion.
---
- Tips:
You can place the files on your storage card and run them.
They are very small files and some off them can be usefull to place in Windows\Start menu
Use them for sorting your today plugin like Ultimate Launch (place links directly into a "deep" spb menu).
Please reply how it's working an what the "wishes" are.
CUSTOM Menu adding & direct linking to them.
Only english version for now
Adding extra is in my opinion simple:
1: copy the files to your device.
2: import the *.reg files (i use sk-tools, but there are many more).
3: look under customize menu to see (activate and change) the new menu.
4: open the *.lnk file to go directly to the menu you just added.
---
Games.reg is a file you can find all over XDA and adds a new menu that you can customize to the spb menu.
An LNK file that links directly to the menu Games wasn't.
They are both in the attachmend Games.zip
----
But why only add 1 menu if we can use more off them?
I've created a *.REG file that adds 10 menus.
Don't worry about "to much", because they're all under 1 created menu.
The Custom.reg file will add the following menus:
Under the root a menu Custom and in that menu 9 submenus (named 1-9).
Also in the zip file there are 10 *.LNK files included to link directly to the menus.
---
Hints/Tips:
Use them to sort your favorite programs like:
1 - Office applications
2 - Navigation applications
3 - Create new... "menu"
4 - messenger applications
5 - and so on...
After you've done that you can link directly to your own created menus with the *.LNK files included in the attached file.
---
Need a *.LNK file that you can't find? Post your request and i will see what i can do...
For the custom menus, to which folder on my device should I copy the files?

Sorry for the "mess" in the first 2 post. I'll make them better in the future (now trying to create som CAB files).
Step 1: Copy all the files (unzipped from Custom.zip) to your device.
Step 2: Import the custom.reg file to your registry
Step 3: Go to customize menu (in SPB Mobile Shell) and see & customize the new custom menus.
Step 4: Open the *.LNK files from anywhere on your deveice to go directly to the menus.
There will come 1 new folder (named Custom) in the root of mobile shell.
In that folder there will come 9 folders (named 1 to 9).
[Request] Weather Page?
I was wondering if you have a link to the Weather page in Mobile Shell? The page you get after you hit the weather icon on the now screen...?
Thank you VERY much Very nice discovery. Your instructions about the files you included are a little unclear (maybe it's just me) but I can figure it out Thanks!

You can also try and play with your register:

and an LNK file with something like:
130#"\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Weather"

130#"\Programmabestanden\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe" -cmd: -now,2

Customize SPB Mobile Shell more...
In the attachment is the file Adding Items.reg
Import it with your register explorer and you'll be able to customize SPB Menu more. The effect is visible under customize menu from mobile shell.
The strings under here are added:
"Add"=dword:00000001 added in the following folders:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Messaging]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Organizer\Beam My Contact]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Programs]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Settings]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Tools\Browse Files]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Tools\Phone Profiles]
Hints/Tips why this is usefull:
A few examples and how to use it (after going to customize menu):
Add Beam, Bluetooth to "Beam My Contact"
Add Total commander, the search function to "Browse Files"
Add your phone programs to "Profiles"
Add gmail app to "Messaging"
Adding folders manuelly will not give you the chance to make a direct link to it (it's not created in the register for some reason).

If you do that you can link them up to SPB Shell and Buttons.

I could be wrong here, but as I understand things SPB is a shell that sits on top of WM and takes over many of the normal functions of the O/S. You would either use the native O/S for most of the device functionality and just have SPB in a limited form on the WM Today screen or, use SPB to provide most of the menu-type functionality in its own shell...which doesn't feature a Start button.
In other words, you can have WM with the Start button or SPB without the start button, but not both.

you could create a shortcut linking to: "\program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Programs"
(you can create a specific shortcut very easily with Total Commander)
Once you have this shortcut you can launch it to get the programs from start menu in the spb mobile shell interface. If you now integrate this link/button in your spb mobile shell theme, you will have access to all you programs.
It's not really what you requested, but it's a workaround...

Anyone got any ideas on how to do this? Should be a 'Menu/ Add Current Location' Option

There is a special version of weather database editor for the TP2 ( i think it"s the 2.2) You can give it a try.
But some reports says it doesn't work for all TP2 users. You can corrupt your database, so you must backup your database before.
i know about the editing of the weather database, what I am looking for is a simple add on to the menu that allows me to ADD wherever I currently am.
Me TOO!
I am looking for the same thing. How to add 'where I'm at right now' to the list of places I get weather for. It's not in the database. Where is this 2.2 weather database editor? Is it in the registry?
You can add just about any place you want to the weather database using the editor found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141.
It won't add your current location automatically, but it will let you do so manually as long as you know where you are.

This will enable the weather to be on "my location" and it will update regularly based on the intervals that you determine.
Hope it helps.

How or where to " Enable Location Service" , is it the same as "Enable the Location Service Settings" ? I cant find "My location" in the cities list.
Thanks for your reply.

ok, I am lost... I loaded the file at the link above and installed it but it claims I need a newer version of microsoft.net compact framework...
the above link will let me add my city to the 'stock" weather tab on the tilt 2 (att) correct?

have you tried installing .NET Compact Framework 3.5? check this out.
check the first forum in applications and themes category.
the link in post #6 will enable you to add your city. But I am looking for some settings that will change the city automatically based on your location. Found that it wont work in CDMA but does work in Tilt2.
Thanks, I got it to work.
