[REQ] Weather Tab: add current 'My Location' - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

anyone know how to do this? I live in an area that isnt in the weather database. when I am home I get to see the weather as it gets it from My Location, but when I am not there, I cant find any way to save the current My Location in the main list.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this? Should be a 'Menu/ Add Current Location' Option

Search weather database editor and you should find an app that lets you edit and add new cities as you like.

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.

How to I find out the Accuweathercode for the city I want to add?

Go to settings and enable the AGPS service.
Enable the Location Service Settings
Enable Location Service
After that, go to the home screen and tap/click on your clock and select "my location".
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.

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.

How to remove My location in home tab?

Hello, everybody
Can somebody help me to find how to disable "My location" in Home Tab? Not only choose a city instead of my location, but remove this option? I know how to put it off in the weather tab, but found no solution in the Home tab... quite annoying.
-----
ROM: Miammiam Eclipse 2.0
HTC Sense: 2_5_19211619_0 fr
To remove it go to the registry:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation and change it from 1 to 0
Now you can choose a city by clicking on the clock and adding a city. It will stay on this city!

I'm trying to do the same (remove "my location" from both clock and weather), i easily found how to remove it in weather on the registry, but after doing what you suggest the "My Location" entry in World Clock won't disappear...

What I did was this:
- in the weather tab I set a new place, i.e. ' amsterdam'.
- on the home tab tap on the clock and select the radio button before ' amsterdam'.
now is my location not removed but I can't see it on my home tab.
Hi!
I have the same problem. I can remove "my location" under the weather tab but not under the home/clock tab.
Where's this f*** register key.
I flash the GEN.YD2R5.3 but the GEN.YD2R4.4 I hadn't this problem...
MOD EDIT - I've moved thread to General Discussion forum as not related to rom development
is there a working solution ?
bump this topic. solution sought...
Bump again.
I'm on the HD2 and have the same problem. Every time I reset my device, It's on "My location" again, and have to change the hometab, time/city manually. It is removed at the Weather tab..
bump
that My Location is really annoying...
i have the same problem yet!!
bump... i don't use weather and just want that location box around the clock to be gone.. anyone?
Look at my thread to enable Current location.. it didn't work on my rom..

Now my current location works perfect!

Actually 2, mentioned above separately:
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLoca tion and change it from 1 to 0 works for removing current location from weather tab
2. Adding a location and selecting it from home screen (tab on clock, then select the city) will remove current location from Home screen.

With all due respect... the above solution did not answer the question... We are asking how to permanently remove the "My location" time from the clock screen. The method you quoted above changes the location on the home screen but when you restart, it switches back to "my location... which in my case... switches back to a wrong time...
Complete Solution
Found it!
There are two sets of registry settings.
Weather tab:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.xxxxx
Clock / Weather home tab widget:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\WorldClock.xxxxx
1) Add your desired city in your weather tab.
The first location will be "My Location" (LocalIndex 0)
The subsequent locations will be your cities
2) Change your clock/weather widget location:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\WorldClock.LocalIndex=1 (or 2, or 3, if you have multiple cities)
This change will be effective on reloading your home tab.
3) - optional - Disable My Location:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation=0
4) - optional if you're paranoid - disable My Location Service:
Disable My Location Service (Manila Settings Tab -> Location -
Uncheck "HTC location service"
Check "Automatically decline location service"
Disable "Improve location service by collecting location data"
5) - optional if you're paranoid^2 - Delete your cached GPS location:
Blank the following registry entries (as it caches your last GPS location) -
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CurLocInfo
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CurLocInfoEng
I believe the location service will use your GPS, not just cell location. See those latitude/longitude numbers with lots of decimal places in Weather.CurLocInfo? Imagine if you turned off My Location, then lost your phone together with your house keys... food for thought.

GPS toggle on/off for HTC HD2

Hello,
I am looking for an app to toggle my gps on/off. Can anyone help me with this?
I have the issue that when I have my phone in flight modus and am out of the country both GSM and GPS are disabled. I would like the GSM to be disabled in favor of GPS to be enabled. I wan't this option for my Tom Tom navigation when out of the country,so it does not get interrupted by phone calls or smsses.
Kind regards
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-toggle.html
Im also looking for a simple on/off toggle button for the gps.
Since you can have that in android i figure it should exist something similar created for wm.
I have only found wm homescreen plugins so far but since thats no use when you running manila or CHT it not even worth downloading.
Looks like ill have to keep searching....

You're right.
I'll test it under pure WM and check the registry while toggling on opr off : maybe I'll be able to detect what keys to change to get the same results directly, and possibly make a CHT widget.
Edit :
Found this one here :
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Samsung_i600
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
"IsEnabled"=DWORD:00000001
-> change to 0 to toggle off ?
I'll check if it works... And if it actually saves battery life.
A Possible Work Around
I could not get the app from the link above to work on my HD2. It said it installed successfully, but I could find no exe or shortcut for it anywhere on my HD2. I searched a couple of app forums here and found nothing else.
Here is a possible solution although it is not a one-click solution like most toggles. It is based on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
Using a text editor, paste this into a new file:
30#ctlpnl.exe AGPSSettingsCPL.cpl - location services settings
Save the file with the name such as GPS Toggle.lnk (that's a small "L" in lnk).
Copy the shortcut file to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. From there you can access it using the Start button/menu. Also, depending on the UI, you may be able to create a button on your main screen. I have Co0kie's Home Tab which provides the ability to create buttons on the home screen. (Co0kie's Home Tab has a number of toggle switches, but not one for GPS.)
This shortcut will bring up the Location screen from Settings. This may or may not be what you want. To be honest, I could not find a place that says "turn on/off GPS."
AGPS only allows to use available data network to update the satellites positions database in order to speed up satellites location.
It should have nothing to do with having the GPS receiver actually turned on or off...
In fact, it's turned off on my HD2, and I'm still able to use the GPS.
I'm currently trying to evaluate the effect the above registry value change has on battery lifetime...
Edit :
OK, at least your post put me on a track :
The registry tweak actually switches on or off the "Automatic GPS management" checkbox in the "Access" panel from the "External GPS" applet in WM "System" settings.
You can still use a shortcut as the one you posted, but it should contain 25#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,25,2 instead (GPS settings - Access).
Now the registry trick has strictly the same effect, and can be made out of a simple MortScript - then a CHT switch, too.
The only problem is I couldn't notice a better battery consumption, actually...

If you use BsB Tweaks and enable the option "Windows Settings - Show normal settings in start menu" then the settings icon in the start menu goes back to being the classic settings icon (takes you to "all settings").
Instal BSB Tweaks which has a toggle to turn on the 'real' windows settings in start menu.
I know there's another solution to do this, but i don't know where the folder is located to link it on start menu.
I won't install anything additionally for windows settings
Its not a folder to link, it's a control panel item, and therefore isn't easy to link to like programs are.
DO a google on 'links to control panel items windows mobile'
Are you actually saying that you want the settings icon in the start menu to take you to the same thing you get when you click "all settings" on the settings tab?
If so, a 30 second search of this forum turned up this post...

How do you add custom Cities to Weather/clock?

hi guys,
is there any way that I could add custom cities in the weather/clock settings?
Thanks,
Alin
see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
(Worked for me)
the city code can be obtained from the site:
accuweather.com
(select the city you want on the site, and see the code on the address bar
(where %20 is the space character))
yep i can confirm this program works, my loacation doesnt work where i live no idea why, you haveto install to deevice memory, go to the weather site accuaweather, search your city town etc,
when you fire the program choose your country then menu add city, choose time for exampleim GMT, then middle box write the city name, then thebottom box take mine for example is EUR|UK|UK182|GRIMSBY
you will find the code you need on the end of the website address when you have searched and clicked your city maye
update your weather the touch your clock and you can choose your city

If you are talking about the Operator text not the icon, just search for "change operator" here on the site ....
Or install Cookies Home Tab, with CHT Editor, it lets you do it ....
thank you very much,i see it now.
