HTC Weather - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Does annyody knows how to set a new town in weather program, other than the ones are in the phone?.
Teoreticlly you add a new location in a string, registry or somewhere in the phone for youre location.
The location code you can extract from firefox / Forecastfox. My location is in ROMANIA, the city name is RESITA, so the code is: EUR|RO|RO013|RESITA|
I've tried to modify an existing registry from the machine but it goes back to original towns.
anny ideea where the exact file is pls?

You have to use Weather Database Editor:

Ciao, Andrea

I've used WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB and WeatherDatabaseEditor_1_1_Meins.cab none of them is working for me, keep asking fot the last version of Microsoft .Net Compact Framework. My Diomond's Microsoft .Net Compact Framework is last one and ROM version is 1.93.479.3 WWE. as I saw on other post there is a lot of ppl having the same problem, is there other posibility for inserting a desired town in the list of the existing cities?

If you're updating the Database then not seeing it then you need to either delete one of the unused existing enties or modify an existing entry. I have had to do this on previous occasions.
Let us know how you get on..

is there a posibility to modify an existing town/location from the internal database, like to take for example another ton and modify in the PPC the adres/code/name?

I can't add city on htc home (dual touch-Niki)

Hallo. I write this post because all guide faqs and post search on internet don't work.
I want to add city on my htc dual touch, but i try a lot of settings, and all setting don't work. I have ROM (niki project v.2.1.3).
1: i have change the xml file with my location city; (OK)
2: when try to download information......don't work;
3: i try to replace htchome.dll with che same what search information on another server...don't work (now all cities don't work)
4: i have found a little guide, but when ask me to install cerfiticates i can't install.
Now, it's a lot of days that search on internet but don't found the really metod to add cities on my htc home, and now, afther change htchome.dll any cities don't are found...
There are a person can help me...please...
very very thank's, an sorry for my englis (i my italian).
Marco.
You can add only a few cities, there is a list (i am not sure where, if at accuweather or at htc), with the cities included. It's because an agreement between HTC and Accuweather.
Realy??!?!?!?
But on the internet there are some people with other cities on our niki.
i can't understand what i wrong....
where are some guide for patch, or cab install for resolve this question?
Thank's

can u tell me where your city is? let me try on my nike, if i could find it there, it means u should also can find it on your device
To find yout your city code just go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/ajax-functions/favoriteCities.asp?region=EUR&country=UK
Change the end of the link to your country (US users only need a 5-digit area code), PT=Portugal, UK=london, etc...
...OR, just click in http://www.accuweather.com , then in the international tab search for 'city, country', and it shows the code in the address link...
With resco exploer or whatever search for a file named H*.xml inside your windows folder.
Open it with notes and add your own city code.
Reset, choose the city on the HTC home plugin and your done.
Ok....but there are the same pass, that i try from one week.
for exsample.my city is:
Montecatini terme - Pistoia - ITALIA
Now on http://www.accuweather.com/ is:
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...r&locCode=EUR|IT|IT016|MONTECATINI TERME|&u=1
Hence:
<city name="Montecatini terme, IT" loca="EUR|IT|IT016|MONTECATINI TERME" land="Italia" />
And edit, with notepad with file
\Windows\HH_0410_WeatherCities.xml
it's correct?
it appears so, is it not working?
no and dont know what is the cause!
if i dont replace the dll all entry work ,but my city no
if i replace htchome.dll all cities dont work
i cant understand why dont work AND there is a solution!!!
dll? i didnt mentioned any dll...
in some post on internet i have found a guides. On these guides there are wrote that's necessary change HTCHome.dll beause the original search weather information in a wrong server ( for the new cities add ). it's all.
i you search on google "add cities on htc home" there are many post but are all wrong :-( :-(, and i cant understand what it's my problems.
thanks.
Just install the latest version of htc home, the one with a skin chooser.

Marco.
As I said, if I'm wrong, please, let me know, cause I want to put another cities in my Niki, you can only see the weather of a certain cities, not all in accuweather, only the ones that are in a dedicated server htc.accuweather.com, i'm gonna search the list and if I find it i will post it.

JMLToday (WM6.5 Titanium) version 5.1

I installed this (With the help from google translate ) :
http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=24
it works well.... but even the application is not in english...
can some1 help me translate this to English?
if you upload me the file in which the languages are,I may be able to do that
it looks cool but if someone convert it to english
Please wait - it's still in work to be english. Meanwhile you can have a look for the German Cab - and switch the jmlaction.ini to english
-> http://htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2773
The 5.1 has already some multilang Add-Ons, so a switching is not very difficult.
It will be published with the new major release in MultiLang - with further functions.
OK - I made it meanwhile - you need only the german cab and the zip, I attached, to have the weather-forecast in English.
Please tell me, if it's work
The German Cab installs on all resolutions - but the current themes are for vga and wvga - but you can edit the .plg-Files to make new Skins for qvga (so it's not limitted to Diamond). All Themes you can still find, works in 5.1.
Would be nice, if you would post it here - so it can integrated in the MultiLang major Release.

Here it is
there is already a file called JMLAction.ini.english,i think that if you overwrite JMLAction.ini with this file,some things might change to english
EDIT: i tried to change the language and i want someone to tell me if something has changed to english
also copy the file i have attached for changing skins
no-thats the french names for weekdays and Dates-are you sure the installation is based on the german .cab of 5.1 ?
Is the weather forecast in english with the new jmlmeteo? (i was on way to disco and had only 10 min to look at the en-us-Feed and change the program)
but if the changes from xxmarkosxx works,then I can have a look to make a cab until the multilang release will come.
the changes won't work then anymore,but to make skins in the different resolutions-it would be very good.
thanx markos!

Bro take your time and make it...
Yup i installed from german cab..
I am uploading it here.. Just check if its right...
Is there a way to show the weather in english as the menu can be changed to english by changing the ini files mentioned few posts above.
anybody got working this plugin in eng...also anybody has eng cab?
somebody maybe created cab in eng?
ok-now I know why it didn't work...you got the 5.0beta...the file above is the 5.1
please try the zip from xxmarkosxx before and tell me if it's work in english language (perhaps combined with the jmlmeteo.mscr,which I posted--then must be the weather in english too)
then I can make the cab.
JML is about to add some further function e.g. an analog clock, but meanwhile we could collect some new themes,especially in other resolutions than vga and wvga.
therefore I'm thinking about put that in dev-thread for all, so everybody can say if there's something above to do for that.
but the dev remains on Diamond.
if you have ideas for some further functions of jmltoday,you can write it here.
and: citycode for your town: weather.msn.com
in opposite of accueather there are much more smaller towns inside...perhaps your llittle village,too.

Ok cool...
Fine i'll try it with 5.0beta.
If u want the weather code for your city then go to weather.msn.com (as mentioned by Michel).
Then search for your city.
And then in the URL you'll get the code.
For eg:
h t t p ://meteo.msn.com/local.aspx?&wealocations=wc%3aINXX0164&q=Pune%2c+IND&setunit=C
This is for Pune,India...
And the weather code is "INXX0164" .
i don't know why but for some reason i can't update the weather.
does anybody knows if i can update it via activesync or wifi?also i took a screenshot to see that the days and months are in english (i don't know if that was before)

yes you can update through active sync and wi-fi.
when you are on the weather tab, just click on it.... it will update.
@MichelDiamond : I am not able to find 5.00 beta cab
@xxmarkosxx : I don't have this file "JMLAction.ini.english" ?!?!
I dont know how come...
Hey can you please put a screen shot of your JML??
Now we're running in a confusion - so much different files - I'm now at home and could take a look at the files above. The trick only with copy&paste doesn't work in JMLMeteo - the multilang is in preparation, like I said.
I better took a look at the original Framework (which I only had at home) - and switched it to english. Hope "Fahrenheit" is also better than "Celcius", too. Not all functions can be easily transfered in other languages - please be for this patient for the official release from JML.
I tried it - and on my German ROM it was in english then Also the weather forecast.
Please save your origin meteo icons - because I had the high resolutions in the framework. So you can change 'em like you want.
Please try it - then I can have a look for other resolutions - but at first it should run in English.
But - if it works - we would need the translations of the Texts in the jmlaction.ini in any other languages (it, sp, ...) for later updates.
Ok - let's try (uninstall/rename old JMLToday before - cab is multilang and installates in correct path - and of course please in Main Storage like every Titanium Plugin). Hope it works for you
@donsalari : that's what the file containes
[Menu]

Windows Marketplace

Here is the cab that is downloaded when you first connect to the marketplace. Hopefully all the chefs can integrate it in.
edit// For those that have a ROM that did NOT come with the marketplace (stock roms for the most part) you will need to create a shortcut to \windows\WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe.

Yes having the same issue on athineĀ“s build 23047 and on my Toshiba TG01 with stock rom!
I have read somewhere that maybe the problem is localization of the software:
I live in Italy and an italian winmo blog says:
To make it work on italian ROM's you have to change "WMMBootstrap.exe.0409.mui" into "WMMBootstrap.exe.0410.mui" in windows folder
But it does not work for me,
probably because i have Energy's ROM.
Got it working!
But I have a small problem...
I have WM 6.5 English version but I filled in my windows live information all no problem but my marketplace is in Dutch (I live in the Netherlands but I would like to have the US version because now I only have 5 aps)
Anyone who has any idea how to change region?
Thanks a lot
Works fine on my WM6.1 HTC Stock Rom..... not much to see there yet though.....

Well, I read somewhere else apps were "flooding" in, but I haven't seen it. Got it working early last night on my stock 6.1 rom (damn CDMA) and right now I see the same apps. Then again, I'm only searching free. I'm a cheap bastard.
I also can't get it to work on my phone. Something with the ROM I have (EnergyROM Photon latest) that caused it to break. It worked on his ROM from 10.02.2009 but not this one.
Thanks gehzumteufel, it works great!
I'm on a stock VZW 6.1 ROM. It didn't automatically create a shortcut in my "Program files" list, so I just created a shortcut (with Resco Explorer) from the /windows folder. The .exe is called: "WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe" in case anyone doesn't see it.
Ahh well I wasn't aware it didn't create any shortcuts. The ROM I run already has the regular marketplace stuff installed so this just replaces what's there. Good to know. Will add to first post.

Pardon my ignorance, put what folder to you place a shortcut in to get the program to show up in the Program Files list? I tried creating a new directory under the Program Files folder and a shortcut in that directory but it didn't add it to the Program Files list.

Same here English 6.5, Regional settings set to "English UK" marketplace appears in Greek and has only 3 applications. Changed time to London UK no change in marketplace.
Any ideas for a fix?
I am pretty sure the marketplace has a check routine to figure out what operator you're on and then uses that to check against what region.

Yeah this new 10.07 ROM marketplace works on. w00t back to goodness.
Also I just noticed a lot more apps than on Monday.

Date long and add a town

Hello all,
I've been searching for a while, even in this forum, but dont find any solutions concerning these two issues:
1) how can i set the date long (dddd dd mm yy) in the today page? My Diamond 2 runs the original French rom, wm 6.5.
2) I ve found a lot of solutions on the Internet to add a town, but no one works, and most of the time i must hard reset the device. HTC Sense doesnt start again. Softs like Weather Database Editor for example make HTC Sense not working and doesnt even add the town i entered...
If someone knows the right way to do so, i would be grateful
Thanks in advance

I confirm it works perfectly with both WM6.1 and WM6.5, just follow the instructions carefully..if you have any problem you can PM me, tell me the city you want to add and I'll make the manila file for you.
Thanks to both of you. I've already tried this method but it didnt work. As i said in my first post, each time i install "Weather Database Editor", it makes my HTC Sense unable to launch. I'll try one more time... but i almost sure i'll must hard-reset...
It would be kind of you Superman122 - sorry, Sualc - if you could make it for me. The town i want to add is Valence, in France, and the AccuWeather code is : EUR|FR|FR022|VALENCE
Thanks again!

@ Siber:
Here's your city weather on manila!! (see attached screenshot)
I made a .cab file so that you don't need to install Weather Database Editor anymore,by the way this may interest everyone..
ATTENTION:Since I have an italian ROM, the modified manila file I'm posting contains country names in italian, if that causes any problem or simply you don't like it, please post your manila file and I'll work on it. You can try the one I posted just for the fun of it but BACKUP your manila file first!
Ciaociao
Thank you sualc for your help,
Is there an easy way I can edit the files you posted to add a couple of cities to my TD?
EUR|CH|SZ021|LUGANO|
EUR|IT|IT009|COMO|
Saluti,
Filippo
Lugano (CH) and Como (IT) ADDED
The easy way is to install the .cab I posted above and then manually add your cities using SQLLiteAdmin. If you have an italian ROM you can modify the manila file in previous post, you could edit the "Valence" line (if not interested in..) and any another city you're sure you're never go to .
I am being very brief because I assume you read the "official" instructions, if you have any problems,PM me
EDIT: Well, Since It's almost Xmas and I feel Santa Sualc, i modified the manila file for you, but remeber to install AddCityWeather.cab aswell!!(AGAIN: this file is certified to work in an italian ROM, if something goes wrong I will need you ORIGINAL manila file)
P.S: It's really stupid not to put those cities by default, ok they're not enormous cities like Tokio but they are regional Capitals in their respective countries..
Sulac, you are the best! it works great!
Yes, countries are in italian in the list, but it doesnt matter. Thanks again!
No prob,mate..But seriously, if you want a nice&neat work,just post your manila

Hi koen-ronse and thanks... but i dont find "TouchFLO 3D" in the settings. Are you talking about HTC Diamond 2?
He's not online at the moment, I think I can answer for him:
Advanced config is an application that you have to download and install (google for it), then follow his instructions
Sualc, i didnt want to bother to much, but since you tell me, i post my manila file
Thanks also for the answer about the advanced config!
Here you go, Valence in french database.
Sualc, thanks for your help, and your fast reply!
@ koen-ronse, thanks also, i found the soft "Advanced Settings" and it allowed me to do exactly what i wanted.
It's nice to see there are always people ready to help when needed.
Thanks Sulac,
I can confirm that it works perfectly on my Italian ROM
You are very nice!!!

See "Show Weekday" (thread 303771) in Modaco Topaz forum.

[SOLVED] How do chefs change "Model No"?

[I asked this in the wrong forum previously -- sorry for the repeat topic]
I would like to understand where the Model No string comes from. This value is shown in device info and apparently checked by some software to determine if it's running on "known" or "supported" phones (e.g., Bing).
For example this is "T-Mobile_LEO" on a US HD2.
How does a chef influence this value, and more importantly, is it possible for me to change it without needing a new ROM image or having to reflash (e.g., via the registry, or updating a file, etc)?
Some pieces of software simply check model.txt (in the windows folder).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is used for internet based stuff
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"DeviceModel"="XV6875"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can be used
Just do a search for the model number shown in device info in total commander (do a search in the registry section), and see what comes up.

User-Agent is possible, but I don't think he's referring to the others. He said "T-Mobile_LEO", but HTC won't show out code names in these places except User-Agent. Maybe the OP can specific this question?
On an HD2, Settings tab -> "About Phone" -> Phone Identity
Bing picks this up:
NOTE: the above is on a cooked ROM where the chef has gratuitously changed the Model No (on a stock ROM, it's something like T-Mobile_LEO). Unfortunately this causes Bing to think it's in beta mode because it doesn't recognize the phone it's running on. I want to know if I can change it back without reflashing.
Thanks for the tips, folks. Both registry settings mentioned above have "T-Mobile_LEO" in them.
However \windows\ModelName.txt contains the value the chef changed it to ("HTC HD2").
Is it possible for me to change ModelName.txt even though it's a ROM file?
Secondarily I'm also curious about how the registry values got initialized to T-Mobile_LEO -- where specifically did *that* string come from, given that ModelName.txt contains a different string?
I created a cab with the WM6.1 SDK and it worked. My phone identifies as a T-Mobile_LEO and Bing (after being uninstalled and reinstalled) stops identifying itself as beta.
Thanks for the tips folks.
Ok happy ending lets change the name as OP didnt do it

Yes, you can. Copy it out and edit it, then use 3rd-party file explorers such as Resco or Total Commander to overwrite the ROM file. The identity string is also a registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]

May I know for my knowledge what does this [OP] indicate?
I have searched my kitchen endlessly for the T-Mobile_LEO string that shows up as per picture one in the earlier post, and cannot find it. The ModelName.txt file contains the correct text (as I have a Touch Pro 2).
The reg key that seems to set this is HKLM\system\platform\OEMString but I cannot find the source of this in the kitchen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any further sugegstions? I am at a loss with this as to where this is being set. My best guess is Manila and that is why the search is not picking it up? I am no good with manila so am seeking guidance.
Cheers
It depends which kitchen or tools you are using.
In Oskitchen you can find it in 'NBH Structure.xml'
It contains the rom version and settings to create the nbh.
The kitchen uses nbImageTool.exe made by Da_G which reads this file to create the nbh.

Thank you for the reply.
The nbh structure.xml correctly identifies my device as a RHOD 300. The T-Mobile_LEO must be coming from somewhere else.
I use OsKItchen and the source dumped rom was from a Rhodium and so my OEM and device profile comes from that. The erroneous model no must be coming from an EXT package as far as I can see.
If you are looking for a package I would say Oemversion.

If you have swype, it would probably be coming from there.
Aaaahhhhh - now that would explain why I cannot find any reference to it in my kitchen. I could never get swype to work as an EXT package the way I wanted so it installs within XDA-UC.
Time to pull that cab apart I think.

If you do change the Model name, Swype probably won't work. It looks at the model name.

Thanks all for the help.
