Does anyone know of a good animated doppler radar app that i can zoom in close enough to see a few big streets for ppc? Its been raining here alot and using skyfire to look at an interactive doppler map is really a pain.
Ive tried
RadarWatch2 -only one level of zoom.
weatherpanel by mars - radar broken.
memory map radar - cannot install "device incompatible"
dopplermobile - i have no idea whats going on with this app. I was told it was a weather app but you open it and it seems more like a blog reader.
Im running wm6 on a htc touch. All i want is radar thats animated so i can see what direction the rain is moving in. And to be able to zoom close enought to see some major roads. Ive used the search function and havent found anything.
WeatherPanel is the best, I'm sure many will agree. But why do you want to zoom in to see streets with your weather radar? Seems pointless honestly, anyways, when you say it's broken, are you referring to some of the preset maps not working? If your in the US, use the map marked "2", that one works.

Sounds like you must be here where im at...
Weatherpanel works with the radar, but only the 2nd one for the US. I really don't know why. BUT I do wish there was a program like google maps with a radar overlay. aka whats on weather.com
Marsware WeatherPanel radar images DO work...probably just the default URLs that the program uses are now dead links. I have posted a short tutorial (generated by Storyr on WeatherPanel.net) in my Diamond WeatherPanel Theme thread. See post #95 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
Using the tutorial you can add any number of radar images to WeatherPanel and auto-update them to your heart's content. Any image that you can link to via a URL can be used by WeatherPanel.

Thank you i will try using weatherpanel again, that was my problem was the weather data could be seen but no image to go with it. Can you zoom in close enough to see a major street?
The reason why i want the zoom function is so i can see exactly where the rain is and which way it is headed. When its zoomed out you really have to just guess weather a certain area like a park is wet or not.

Every radar image is different, so it is possible, you just need the right one. If your looking for a major street, check to see if there is a traffic cam posted, then you can use that. But radar will update as fast as every 30 min.

im confused. how will the weather app know what image im using so it can put the weather in the right places? or did you mean id have to swap the image with a working one that has the radar already on it?
Also i didnt mean zoom to an actual street level view. I meant to be able to zoom in and out as much as google maps... or close to the level of zoom.
this is what im using now with skyfire http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/?animation=true .. but its a real pain. i dont see a reason why it couldnt be made as an app for ppc. Wishful thinking, i guess.
thanks for the suggestions.

You just select the images per city, 8 max. The first will be displayed as default. The image itself, at least the default, is just the image, nothing interactive, so zooming too much will just blur it. But, you can use any custom image URL, try using that image from that site, it may work.

Im sure it wont work... its not an image on that site, its flash. although, that would be pretty impressive if weatherpanel supported flash. Also im looking for something animated. Does weatherpanel support animations?

Hi everyone,
Just got my Cingular 8525 the other day (upgrade from my Wizard). So far so good but I'm looking for a program that lets me see my local weather when connected with my WIFI. I've searched the web and forums but have only been able to find paid ones.
Are there are free ones out there?
Thanks in advance.
http://ppcwarez.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12360&highlight=weatherpanel
This is, in my opinion the best one out there, you can specify radar maps (.jpgs)
for your local area, many different icon sets, very customizable.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
i love this one

EDIT: Weather Watcher seems to be the winner!

I don't know any freeware weather app, but for me the bests are from sbsh and spb
The first one lets you customize the weather sources,
The other has a nice graphical interface and lets you to download (and create anmations) images from webcams

FYI: Mike Singer, the developer, is extremely responsive to requests. WW PPC is not his first priority, but he does answer any and all email.
We can scroll through your photo list by sliding your finger along the picture by full screen. If anyone can make it. It's so great.
I see "icontact" & iMedia Player" is the great job of PPC. We have enough experience to do it. I think the "iPhoto" is not the problem.
Hope it will some soon.

I started writing something exactly like you're describing, but I haven't finished it. I've been busy trying to finish up this job and find a new job and haven't had as much free time for programming. I'll do a little more work on it when I get a chance and see what you guys think.
picsel is ultra slow at loading...

I just tested in WM5. It works. But I don't like the design.
Byka's PictureViewer is good design. I have some idea.
1) In photo list mode, we can scroll (left or right) pictures in the list one by one.
2) Double click the photo to enlarge the photo to full screen.
3) In full screen mode, have a zoom & move function.
4) double click the screen to back to photo list mode.
Base on our current technology, it should not be hard to do. I am shameful that I don't know the programming so much.
SIMPLE IS THE BEST

I am really looking for the one in the video.. It's really awesome, you can use the finger scrolling from the main screen to swipe thru the photos.
It is most likely that your device won't support it anyway... TouchFlo 3D is very graphics intensive...

Actually i did a test like that for pictures first, but it isnt very usable.
I think that feature in Daimond is just to show, not really to use regularly. I prefer the Camera album to view pictures because you can see all the photos in a list and then choose from one.
It can easily be done in flash but the finger motion effects have a problem with the current 'players', if you press the screen and dont release it for a second only, it pops up the "about flash" window.
Still, if you use simple buttons instead of finger motions, like I did for my flash contact list, all you need is a ouside program to list all the images in \storage card\my documents\my pictures (or whererver) to a xml or txt file, then the flash would read all the picture names as variables and present them in that kind of slideshow (or even better animations, like 3d cubes turning or fade-ins) . Do remenber that the 'photo turn 3d effect' would slow things down.
So, depending on the speed of the pocket pc model it would be slow, it isnt very slow on my dual because it has 400 mhz, but there are a lot of models out there with 200mhz...
Also, for some reason, the flash lite engine works faster but has more bugs reading images than the flash 7 engine. :/
And then it comes back to the today plugin, the only good current one is from the Throttle author but it only has one hardcoded size, he is doing a better one, and THAT one I cant wait for... it sounds as good as melted cheese!
That's exactly what I am looking at.

IT's wonderful work twolf, and that is exactly what I am looking at... Will it be possible to post a cab file of the one in the video.. So that I can test and use it on my phone.. I have seen your website and is pretty impressive.. Will it be possible to share the work that you have done here.. So that all of us can enjoy it..
Thats not dependant of me, just of the trotthle author, sorry, like I said I gave that to him.
But after he releases his new plugin, I'll be sure to make a lot of flash goodies for everyone, always releasing the sourcode, because, as I said, I'm a iilustrator, not a programmer, and Im sure others can do so much more.
thanks Twolf

Thanks Twolf.. I tried this before and I am trying the Tempus V13 now..It works perfect, but the till still skips by 1 sec every 2 secs and becomes very slow during skip.. And also takes lots of memory around 3-4 MB on my HTC Touch... Which is a lot for my phone.. . is there is a work going to reduce this... I can't wait !!! for Throttle author to release new version.. ..Tempting
Actually the skipping is good, it does skip sometimes but thats my way of making sure the time is always correct. Otherwise the minutes could change before the seconds reached 59.
The slowness is really because of the 200mhz of the touch, sorry...
As for memory, thats flash...
Maybe in the next version of throttle since the weather and clock are separated and in flash lite, they may become faster, time and tests will tell.
Thank you Twolf
Thanks Twolf.. This is a great application and I am currently trying Throttle launcher works great on my Touch.. Thanks for all you guys work.. Fantastic... Hope to see more from you.. thank you..
Hi,
I'm a really newbie and I'm writing my own weather-app for the pocketpc in C#. But I've got a little problem:
How do I get the forecast for the next 6 days out of the yahoo-weather feed? For example: http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=94704
Is it possible, cause I only see the next 2 days in it?
Take a look at the screenshot. That's what it's all about till now ;D
Thx.
FoneBone
wrong post
i can´t help you, sorry, but just want to say: nice graphics and a free, small standalone fullscreen weather app is a good Idea. All other good apps are to fat for me and today plugins. So let me test it.
And if possible think about different languages (High/Low) and maybe little animation. But be carefull at the momen i use rumballs manilla weather and it uses rwhen unning 10 MB ! (because of the big animated weather pictures)
Your app looks nice.
The reason your app receives only 2 days is because...the link you're using only provides 2 days:
Code:
Yahoo! Weather - Berkeley, CA
Yahoo! Weather for Berkeley, CA
Conditions for Berkeley, CA at 7:53 am PDT
Current Conditions:
Partly Cloudy, 50 F
Forecast:
Sun - Sunny. High: 77 Low: 50
Mon - Partly Cloudy. High: 76 Low: 50
Full Forecast at Yahoo! Weather
(provided by The Weather Channel)
Looking at the available parameters for the RSS feed here: http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#params I don't see any way of getting more then 2 days.
EDIT: Funny thing, playing with some random default parameters I got a way of listing 5 days, see:
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=94704&d
Nice!
Keep up your good work!

now it shows the forecast of the next 4 days. Thanks again to radhoo.
But how do I get the last two days???

You might try a different site, this gets 8 days...

Maybe you can tell me the adress of the accuweather xml feed... that would be great.
If you're anything like me, you're able to appreciate precision...
Such as alignment, things being linear... or perhaps something just fitting on-screen, rather than causing obscure transparent affects on what is (by default) an otherwise beautifully designed, perfectly matched lock screen.
Now, after having said all of that... I'm sure most of you are wondering what I was just rambling about. Well, if you haven't discovered this already... then I suppose I'll elaborate. Once you have applied a lock screen wallpaper, it is then automatically rendered to fit the screen resolution of, "480x800"... which in turn causes your wallpaper quality to typically be compromised if the resolution isn't already EXACTLY that!
Also, you'll noticed that your "curtains" become faded and transparent. Which again, for someone like myself... I do NOT enjoy looking at my wallpapers through "curtains" or "slivers of glass".
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
1.) MegaUpload
2.) RapidShare
Here are a few examples of wallpapers I've adjusted to fit within the TOP AND BOTTOM CURTAINS... which have been fashioned with "black bars" to overlay the coverage areas of your curtains... SEE BELOW! MORE THAN 15 WALLPAPERS ARE INCLUDED!
Awesome thread, thanks for the HD Walls, I hated that my pics look drowned out on this EPIC screen!

Awesome, thanks man!! I'm still trying to learn why this is an issue on the HD2 as opposed to other 480x800 hardware, like my TP2, but it's great to see that people are finding ways around it

Yeah, thanks for posting those... I'll check those out.
I figured that I'd put these out there because I don't like when my wallpaper is stretched out and covers the curtains on the lock screen.
HD2 Walls
I came across eseth.net they have a lot of high quality wallpapers customly designed for the HD2. I even used one of the ones I downloaded to make my girl some tigger walls for her phone. Good looking out guys!
I'll be making more if people are willing to put in requests for LOCK SCREEN "FITTED" wallpapers.
Better yet, if they provide the 480x800 .JPEG file they wish to shrink down, and have adjusted to fit in between the lock screen curtains... I'll post those as well.
I'll do some more wallpaper hunting tonight though...
Forgive me..but..

No worries.
Simply create a folder on your SD card that you can name WHATEVER... and then go to your settings to change the LOCK SCREEN WALLPAPER!

The ones in Reignzone's set are all pretty awesome too, especially for a screen as big as the HD2's

Whoopsie, sorry 'bout the 'dis' Reign!
I did download yours too, I just happened to reply to phunkee's reply is all!
I am a glutton for pixel precision. For example, I play FFXI on PC. I play on a window, not full screen, so, accounting for the task bar, the title bar, and the window borders (2 px on either side when maximized) I take all that into consideration and modify the game's registry entries so that when the window is maximized, the screen is drawn to 1:1 ratio. I then set my fake AA (the game doesn't support AA, but you can set the 3D render independent from the window size, so I super-sample) to exactly twice the resolution of my window resolution.
Anyway, that long winded paragraph was to say that yeah, I appreciate pixel perfection and I love what you're doing here.
A little off topic, do you guys know what do do about Opera Mobile (both or either the installed version 9.7 and the downloadable 10.0). Neither draws the web-page to 1:1 on the 480x800 screen. With 9.7, you can pinch-zoom in very minuscule decrements/increments to get the page to be 1:1, but it clears as soon as you leave the page. On 10.0 there's absolutely nothing that can be done because pinch-to-zoom doesn't work and the preset percentage values are atrociously off.
Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't suffer this problem, so I find myself using it often as my main browser, but there are times when I need to use a "real" browser, for example, when a page has dynamic content.
Has anybody noticed this?
Ok, so I'm using HD Walls now, and i've done every step right, my only uncertainty is, in teh config file Im not sure which to select.
I know it's Sense 2.5. I'm using Energy's 21898 rom with co0kie's 1.7 apr 14th.
I get the wallpapers to show up in my HDwalls on my phone, and when i set wallpaper nothing changes, even after clearing out said registries.
i was wondering if any one here knows, i have asked in other threads, how i can get this image to be my background for my home screen and all other tabs. my lock screen/start menu background is fine. i also have a cab. file for this image but when i install it just the top and bottom task bars change to the pic. any help/ideas? i have US TMO HD2 stock. someone else had this issue, and tried to install the hdwallpaper patch but it didnt help. i myself have not tried the patch. thanks in advance.

Susasama, here's the images you wanted, both the source and the one I used HDWalls to crop for portrait.
I don't have my HD2 yet ...but as soon as I get it my first order of business is figuring out how to use HDWalls for this new device. I've asked some other users to share their settings that worked, hopefully that might help in the meantime.

If you're anything like me, you're able to appreciate precision...
Such as alignment, things being linear... or perhaps something just fitting on-screen, rather than causing obscure transparent affects on what is (by default) an otherwise beautifully designed, perfectly matched lock screen.
Now, after having said all of that... I'm sure most of you are wondering what I was just rambling about. Well, if you haven't discovered this already... then I suppose I'll elaborate. Once you have applied a lock screen wallpaper, it is then automatically rendered to fit the screen resolution of, "480x800"... which in turn causes your wallpaper quality to typically be compromised if the resolution isn't already EXACTLY that!
Also, you'll noticed that your "curtains" become faded and transparent. Which again, for someone like myself... I do NOT enjoy looking at my wallpapers through "curtains" or "slivers of glass".
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
1.) MegaUpload
2.) RapidShare
Here are a few examples of wallpapers I've adjusted to fit within the TOP AND BOTTOM CURTAINS... which have been fashioned with "black bars" to overlay the coverage areas of your curtains... SEE BELOW! MORE THAN 15 WALLPAPERS ARE INCLUDED!

these look awesome. thanks for your contributions. two weeks ago, i thought about selling my hd2 to get a nexus one due to my love for android os. i'm actually liking win mo more and more. it can be just as customizable as the android OS as i'm slowly finding out.
Thanks for the praise folks...
However, I believe some of you are misunderstanding WHY exactly I created these wallpapers.
They are "curtain friendly" designs, referring to the wallpapers fitting within the physical curtain boundaries. NOT to be some kind of "background for all tabs", meaning that the wallpaper graphics I post are NOT even going to touch your task bar or soft key bar.
These are only created to fit within the boundaries of an unmodified lock screen.
Again, just a bump for those who sent me a PM.
Thanks for your interest.
Sorry for the spam though folks...
Do you know if it is possible to use android live wallpapers on the HD2? I really like the galaxy one on android phones. Its just a thought.
just thought tto let you knoe rapid share link does not work
