Database Users

[APP Update 12.12.08] Commandline WeatherDatabase Editor (add new locations to TF3D)

I read on the below mentioned page that adding new cities to TF3D was really easy, and they were right,
the only problem is that i don't want to install something that I'm only going to use once
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=weatherdatabase
So I created my own version, which does the same as the WeatherDatabaseEditor from andreas.falke
with the exception that it requires minimal user intervention so it can be used in SDConfig.txt or similar solutions.
Also if your country is not listed it will make a new entry in the country list.
It has been tested on my MDA Compact4 (Diamond + Dutty's V1.7 Rom)
And it works like a charm, let me know what you think
I'm not sure if it will work on any other device, but because the Diamond is the first of many TF3D devices
the generic "Development & Hacking" forum seemed to be a better choice,
MODs please move this topic if you think it should be in the Diamond App's section.
Currently you'll get a popup when the app is completed, I might change this in future version(s)
Don't forget to edit locations.txt prior to running the app!
Requirements:
- CF.Net, I tested this with 3.5 not sure if it works with 2.0
How To:
1. Save/Unzip (I advise in the internal Storage) just put the files in a folder.
2. Edit locations.txt, there are already a couple locations in there, Region is optional and first line can be ignored.
3. run CmdWC3.exe
4. To be save do a softreset
To Do :
1. Remove the currently selected Cities (or atleast an option to remove them)
2. Make popup optional
3. new version which has an interface, silent operation would be done by arguments "\Storage card\CmdWC3.exe Silent"
Any Comments?
Thanks to
R. DevilR for pointing out how it's done
andreas.falke for his work
idsk for the registry tweak
Garfield for his Tut (Yes i read that one too)
N2A for the website that makes this all possible
-=Edit=-
I've tested with some roms and here are the results
Dutty's Full 1.7 & 1.8 - Works
SwiftBL v6.0 - Works
SCv2.8 NL_Black - Fails
TLR 3.08.07.16 - Fails *
Bepe 0.97 - Fails *
DIB Diamond v1.22 neon - works (thanks Teto )
udK Syrius HD - Failed (Fixed in V5)
* issue is twofold, it looks like they use a different layout of the manila file... working on it
-=Edit 12.12.2008 =-
I recently changed to the udK Syrius HD Rom, but CmdWC3 didn't work, so
made a new version.
My advise, First run Version 3, if this doesn't work run version 5
Restart* and you should be able to select the proper city.
At least that was what I did with the Syrius Rom.
*I just tried with restarting TF3D only and that also seems to do the trick.
Please let me know if it worked (or not) and which Rom you are using.
Thanks
-=edit 01/07/09 =-
Just noticed that the locations.txt included in the first attachment is missing a > next to city....
you could get some error messages...
sorry bout that.

I added it to my list and it did work, do you have a German version rom?
if so what is the foldername of the Windows folder?
I think the App cannot find the manila files...

hi, yes i have a german version, the bepe 0.97 ROM.
The Windows Folder is called "Windows", also standard.
but your cab .exe file is in the internal 4GB Storage, called "Interner Speicher" in german.

The internal Storage naming sholdn't be an issue, I think it has to do with Bepe's rom, the orriginal idea (and application) has the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=weatherdatabase
2. install WeatherDatabaseEditor from andreas.falke, the latest version is 1.1.
If it doesn't work (for TLR or bElite ROM for example), you can try this "patched" WDE (from PPC-Welt, it seems).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one are you using premium, basic or lite?
I know TLR has tweaked TF3D to be uninstallable (whatever that may mean)
so there are some diffrences..
Could you check if you have the 2330fc3c_manila and _2330fc3c_manila (in \Windows folder)?
could be that they are hidden...
Just so i have it right, the entry does not show up in TF3D...right?
Also could you post the 2330fc3c_manila file?

Small update, I've checked bepe 0.97
it seems that he's using a slightly different version of 2330fc3c_manila
which doesn't have the Countries listed, also
the application cannot change the properties of the file to be able to write to it...
Checking if the Countries are mentioned is not the problem, fixed that already
it is setting the file overwritable thats the issue..
I'm sorry but i don't see a solution besides manually copy pasting a already fixed 2330fc3c_manila & _2330fc3c_manila to the windoes folder...
Sorry
maybe in the future...
-=edit=-
I'm looking into this again, i can't stand it that it doesn't work...

Well done, thanks! It's really handy in combination with automated installers like Sashimi. Even more when you've added the silent operation and removal option. If this works on the ROM's I'll flash in the future, I won't have to manually change anything weather related after flashing. That would be

Could you post the \Windows\2330fc3c_manila file?
it is possible that this rom has the same issue as TLR/Bepe's rom

I can post it but it could very well be my user error. I know that when listing cities in the U.S. the go in a little diffrently on all of the Accuweather programs. How is your command line program set up to recieve the US cities and I will try that first.

Not sure how/where you would get the data, maybe this helps:

<Country> will be added to the country list (if not exist)
<Region> & <City> will be added in the country
You could name the country aaaaa so it will be the first one that pops up...

SQL problem...
I'm trying to add:
Canada,Newfoundland,St. John's,NAM|CA|NL|SAINT JOHN'S
It is complaining about the ' character. I believe your SQL statement is getting confused by the ' in "St. John's" and "SAINT JOHN'S". You need to make sure when you read from the text file you encapsulate the string with quotes like "<string>" before you try to insert into the DB...
Sounds like a great prg, I hope you can fix it for me or give me the src and I will fix it. Thanks!

Upgrade Opera mini

Hey all.
Does anyone know how to update the stock Opera Mini in X1?
I've had my X1 for 1½ month and I figured that there should be at least on new build out there.
Thanks for a great site
//Patrik

There is no stock Opera Mini, just Opera Mobile. And at present there is no real upgrade, just more betas on the Opera website.

sure there is an update from sony from an TW Rom, it works like the built in, a little bit faster in my eyes
Opera is 2532

This is exactly what I have been looking for, I hope.
I just downloaded the cab and tried to install. It tell me that a previous version of Opera will be uninstalled then it gives me an error that it could not be uninstalled. It then asks if I want to continue with the installation anyway. I do not want to have 2 versions of Opera on my X1a. Should I just go forward or is there a way to remove the old Opera first? Help is appreciated.

OK, I took the plunge and went ahead and installed. It seemd to overwrite the files in the Windows directory but I lost the Opera file in Windows/AppMgr. Is this going to be a problem? Thoughts.

Isn't that just a shortcut? Even if it's not, just try if opera starts, if it runs, it runs.

theres a good chance the original was in rom, so theres no way you could uninstall it, as as presumed the files were overwritten.
the link is just part of the uninstall process.

Any way to make Windows Marketplace install apps to the storage card?

Hi all
I've seen a hacked .cab of Marketplace so that you can run Marketplace from the storage card, but is there a way yet to make the Marketplace app that is installed as part of 6.5, give the user the choice of where to download and run apps purchased via marketplace?
I've seen plenty of pages around the net with people complaining about this. Understandably as most have 3+ GB of storage card space but 200- mb of device memory. Although I've yet to find a solution anywhere so I figured xda would be the place to ask.
I have heard that if the device is full it will let you install to the storage card, so would there be a way to enable this option without filling the device?
Appologies if this has already been addressed, if so can someone point me at the answer?
Cheers!

PS: I have tried solutions posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4687490&postcount=1
the 5th cab isn't available to download so I tried the 4th cab which let me install market place on the storage card, which is great, as it frees up more phone memory, but at no point during installing an app am I able to chose to install to the storage card.
Just in case someone was going to point me there first.
Thanks

the 5th cab is available. click on the link in the attached files section at the very bottom of the first post. it works perfect. been using it for awhile.

Since its a Marketplace topic i'll ask a question!
Marketplace, doesn't work for me, because of the country i live in..
I install it and when i execute the program, it says that "my country does not support that application"
That totally SUCKS!
Such a usefull program with no use.
Is there a way to hack the program and make it download from marketplace servers (or wherever it is )?

NJ in the house. I have the file in case one of you guys still needs it. Shoot me a PM.

I always keep the installer in my download folder. If you don't have that, go back to the email swype sent you that includes the link to install the downloader. (latest version should have speech to text)

would anybody have the latest version apk?
I have version 2.4.44, would anybody have an apk for the newest version? thanks!

Unable to update Google Maps

Since my market application was updated to the new "windows phone metro style" market, I am unable to update Google Maps application.
I keep getting the message that "a new update is available for "[email protected]"" and when I tap on it, I see that there is an update for Google Maps application. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed to the update because the market says that my device is incompatible with the application. Of course this is not possible, because I already have it. See the attached pictures for yourself.
How can I fix that? Any ideas?
Thanks!

This problem shouldn't have occurred. It doesn't make sense to me...
How does the market say that the application is not compatible, while I already have it?

Thanks for your replies. I still can't find a way to fix it.
The odd thing is that on market.android.com the application looks compatible and I can even push it to install. It doesn't seem to do anything on the device, though...

With the old version of market, I would hold tap the update and another menu would appear on which I have been selecting "Update". This menu does not appear within the new market...
