HTC Weather/Location editing - HD2 General

Hi guys!
As the title implies, I'm looking for a way to edit the information of the location/weather service. Because, when I'm using a Dutch ROM, my location appears correctly, it says "Bekkevoort". However, when I'm on a WWE ROM, it just says "Flemish Region". Needless to say that I liked the application more when it said "Bekkevoort", just because the weather info was more accurate etc.
So, I want to do something about this. Since it works on a Dutch ROM, it should also get working on a WWE ROM.
I already searched the fora and google, but didn't find anything which could really point me in the right direction. There was a topic though, which did give me an idea where to look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-312795.html
The registry entry's mentioned etc. are not on the HD2, but I did found other entries which have something to do with the weather/location service: HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCGEoService
This key holds three subkeys, which have GPS coordinates and the corresponding location name. (One key holds information in English, the other one holds information in Dutch, the third one has only one entry which points to an executable) I tried to edit these, but this didn't have any effect, even after a soft reset.
So the registry dind't seem the right place to look, so I went on to the windows folder. Got myself a trial copy of rescoExplorer and started searching. (really great app btw?) And I found:
HH_0413_MccTable.txt ,contains a some kind of mapping with a number (country code i guess) with the corresponding country. As in "206;België" etc. but that's about it.
Does anyone else has more information about this? Or maybe even the same (or kinda the same) problem? I'd really like to get this fixed
(I'm gonna keep on searching the Windows folder.. there are just so many files.. And I already have checked the XML files, which didn't get me any further)
Thanx in advance
Pyr0wl
edit: I obviously didn't google well enough, because I just found a topic at ppcgeeks, stating that the location info is stored in 2330fc3c_manila. Bekkevoort is not listed though. So I'm stil figuring out how exactly the weather/location application works.
edit2: I stumbled upon a cab which makes it possible to add cities to the datafile which is used to add cities in the sense interface, and it worked. But this isn't really what I'm after, I want the location service to automatically detect where I am. If I'd add Bekkevoort to the list of cities, then it would always show "Bekkevoort", even if I would be in Paris..

there is an app to add cities to the database.
google "add cities to sense weather data base" or some such, its on xda dev.
edit try here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141

Thanks for the reply
Anyway, I've already tried the app, and it's great. But it only solves my problem partially.
When I add "Bekkevoort" to the database of cities, It show Bekkevoort, as it should.
But, when I move to another location, Antwerp or Brussels, It will still say "Bekkevoort".
What I want to achieve is, that an WWE ROM recognizes my location as Bekkevoort and not as Flemish Region, and dynamically changes location data as I move around the country.
I guess it has something to do with the MUI, since the cities database is the same across most ROM languages

ahhh gotcha, sorry i only skimmed your OP.

help me identify this

Downloaded a cab file from a chinese website, its a today plugin that when you click takes control of your today screen and gives you many buttons to cycle through move around etc drag and drop. Has its own background and signal bar etc. Seems to be a simple application launcher which slightly resembles the iphone. Found it in an elf thread but not sure if it is from an elf. I searched the forum and cannot find anything really like it(i mean apon looking at the contents of the cab versus the content of other things I have found here) I would like to find it in english if I could figure out what to call it. I am attaching the cab file, havent gotten a screen shot of it yet but its not gonna trash your phone just the characters wont display if you do not have chinese installed.
Any help appreaciated.

Anyone know what this is? Is it malicious? I stupidly installed it, but it shows up nowhere in directory structure, remover programs, settings, or program folder.
It is not malicous I have installed it myself and it shows up in remove programs to uninstall. It not showing up at all is strange, what are you running? Did you reset after you installed it?
I am running LVSW's latest wm6 release. It installs and works fine except for the fact that chinese characters do not show.
I did a check on the CAB, and it seems alright. It is called "dDockView", installed to your "Program Files\dDockView" dir. All files are installed there, 2 at "\Windows" and a shortcut. Nothing in the registry, nothing nastily `malicious`. Two of the files in \Windows are "dDockView.xml", "dDockPlugin.dll". Delete these if you want to remove it.
From what it seems, it only execute if you run the "dDockView.exe" in "Program Files\dDockView"
And runs on WM6 only.
UPDATE:
Attached screenshots. It looks.. ifoney. From what it seems, to be a launcher, that, the bottom part gives you the 'Menu' or 'Page' for the programs icons above.
You'll have to modify the XML in \Windows to point to your program and icons, I think.
Hey thanks for posting the screenshots I was just about to upload some myself. I knew it was a launcher but none of the chinese would show up as I did not have the local installed.
Is this comparable to the iphone app posted in these threads? Ive been searching but I havent found anything close to what files it installs I can only assume that its something the chinese have made but do not quote me on that. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to english.

I have yet to take any rom plunge. I am runing wm5 on my 8525 all I have done is put on the newest version of radio 1.43.
When I installed it I told it to use my storage card and it did not fail but said install was ok.
Your afraid to upgrade os but are ok updating the radio? I seem to remember reading that it is easier to brick your device radio updating than just upgrading the os but do not quote me on that.
@hanmin Since you were able to see the chinese characters, what was displayed on the normal today screen where you launch the program? Mine just showed an icon with many squares of course because I could not see chinese.
It seems like a decent launcher for one handed operation and the drag and drop works nice, still havent figured out how to customize it all yet but time will tell.

Didn't say afraid, said I hadn't done it yet. Still reading and checking on what one I want to try first.
@Bohemian, I'm sure Psiodon doesn't meant to say 'afraid', probably the word 'worried / doubtful' is the word he is trying to use. Anyway, good that you are doing that. There are various newbies around that jump in and die without knowing why
@Psiodon
I didn't install the app myself. I've just examined the CAB contents and did a bit of goggling myself. I don't even know that there is a today plugin (probably I've missed some lines in the CAB). From what it seems, you can happily skip the today plugin and launch it 'normally'.
@Boh, yes I did not mean scared afraid as hanmin said, just that you did radio first as I have not done radio yet but have done os many times hehe.
@Hanmin, I must be retarded how did you get those screenshots without installing it, some emulator or other way of extracting them? The retard thing can be verified with your reply haha.
Jeff
@Psiodon You can google for screenshots? There are forum discussing it with screenshots. Just grab it from there? And, yes, there are emulator for WM5 devices if you are interested. Get it free from M$.
Are those forums in chinese or english, could you post a link to it?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
can anyone covert it to english Please
@Psiodon Google for "dDockView"
@aih1977, from what it seems, it uses a XML file for all the setup and stuff, but it also has a few DLL files which maybe difficult to convert to English.
Hi Guys,
This today plug-in come pre-installed in S1 Dopod in china which is the HTC Touch "Elf". But this is only availible in default for china market.
You need to edit the xml to do batches change to del unwanted icon.
Too bad this come in chinese lang only. And I having some program in adding new program using the standard GUI. Think I need to use the xml to add new program.
That makes sense the chinese care nothing about copyrights which sometimes is a good thing.
The software has its own custimizing app built in, you just click the little down arrows and it gives you options to delete and add new as well as lock unlock the drag and drop capability, you can change text font colors etc, it has its own button library graphics you can select from etc.
It does what its supposed to do, launches apps, displays your messages count etc, goes directly to what you want it to go to, email for email, text messages for sms etc, self customizing (to an extent) drag and drop icons for ordering. Clicking the clock brings up time of course, clicking the service bars brings up phone properties. Its pretty quick to do its various tasks and seems to be a complete program, I did notice that it doesnt seem to show the status of bluetooth wifi etc at the top or maybe I havent figure out how to configure that.
If it were in english would be alot better thats for certain.
Psiodon
Translator needed...Chinese
I know that some people here speaks chinese, so could any of you please look into this and translate it
Is there a easy way to break of a DLL change (e.g. translate) it and put it back?
easy way hmmm. I tried translating it myself but with my limited knowledge on such things I couldnt really get anything important changed to english, just a few menu options that you could already figure out yourself. I had to change my local to chinese to get those characters to show up in my editing programs. Then had to make shift sign the exe then copy it over to the phone. Couldnt figure out the signing cab thing and didnt work much on that since I couldnt get much changed into english. I guess the other chinese is hidden in there somewhere but with the programs I used I couldnt figure it out. The other thing that bothers me about the program is that it will let you add control panel items, but not program items, when you select that option it just sits there. I assume some path being different on the chinese version of windows mobile 6? So with all the effort I didnt get far.
There are many people out there who translate programs from different languages, maybe they have more of a clue than I do, and the ability to fix the path problem with adding programs.

Rhodium Manila Weather Edit?

I've tried a couple of weather database editors but they all just crash the new version of Manila, is anyone working on an editor that works for this version, or does someone know of one that does work that I missed ?
Much appreciation for any help or suggestions.
PS: I realize it's not "out" yet, but I'm trying out a ROM with it cooked in (EnergyROM 2.0 031109).

This is from Slawcop, all credit goes to him.
I tried this method, and it added the city to the DB but it would not update the weather for it. I verified my Accuweather code was correct as well.
For weather with this ROM....I have not found a weather database that works. The ones out there are causing the touchflo to continually restart and a HR is needed...I have installed my custom town on everyone of the Energy Rom's by following these instructions. I know it works....I have personally done it for some of my friends and there cities...
Go into settings and disable touflo3d.
Browse to the 2330fc3c_manila file in windows. Once you find it place a copy of it on your desk top. Then right click on the manila, click properties and turn off read only.
You then need to download sql-Editor http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
Open the file and run the exe.
Click on databases, open, then go to your desktop where you saved the manila, find it and load it (you might have to click all files on file type to find it).
Once it loads you will see it loaded and a tree menu in the left column. You should notice Cities is expandable, so click the + sign and you see ID and under it you see city name click on it.
Once you click on it then over to the right you should see three tabs SQL Query/Result/ and Edit Data. You want Edit Data click it. If you dont see the chart of cities, states and countries then double click again on city name.
Now the easiest way I did it was find a city in my state or close to the same as mine and edit the information. For instance in number 1823 I inserted my city by editing it. You have to edit the cityname, state, Country, and then under accuweather code you have to make sure they all match EXACTY...capital letters...spaces etc...Also make sure the timezone matches your area. That is why it is important to find a large town close to the town you are trying to add and use the correct information.
You double click on city and a edit memo will appear with the city name edit it exactly. then move onto the next one and so on.
Once you have edited all categories that need it, which if you did like I said would only be the city name in lower case, and city name in upper case.
Once done close SQlite.
Go back to the manila on the desk top right click on check it back to read only.
Now using total commander or other registry editor install the manila file back to the windows folder. Then return back to setting and reactivate touchflo3 and your done. Go into the city and add your city...should be it...

Hi,
use 2330fc3c_manila from Rhodium-Thread Post #4 .. .this will work
It does not work for me too. It says "No weather data available". Whereas with the same accuweather code I was having no problem with Diamond weather. Where can I be wrong?
EDIT:
It worked after I added the registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
Search for Weather Master. That is now fixed som it also works with rhodium!!
Thanks a lot, works for me on ROMeOS with Rhodium

Editing the Weather XML

So I found the weather database in \Windows\ and was trying to edit it to add my city but it seems that it's stored on the ROM part and I can't seem to rename it so I can put my new edited copy in. Could anyone advise me on how to do this? Or is there a new version of the Weather Database Editor that was used for other HTC's? Thanks :]
Use Totalcommander and uncheck the attributes, then replace en recheck the attributes
What are the files that can be edited?
Total Commander couldn't seem to do either but I found an entry in the registry that I could change instead. Unfortunately it's still the "loccode" so it still doesn't have a city near me. I would love a weather panel alternative that is exactly like the htc one but would support zip codes. I tried chome weather but it was so buggy for getting it to show up on the home screen.
As for the files I was trying to edit, they were xml files in \Windows\ and began with HH. I don't have my phone with me at the moment so I can't get the full name.

Thats how I edited mine. via the registry. I was wondering what file you were trying if it would be easier to modify then just going into the registry and editing the three entires. I will stick to the reg edits, its faster... but thanks.

Just change the city information there with what you want. After you save the edits go back to your Weather Panel and it will say its updating.. Mine error on the first attempt (said it could not download data) but I tried it again and it worked. The city MUST be in the online database or it wont work at all, my first city attempt would not update, my second choice did. I wanted Millersville, PA but its not listed.. but Lancaster, Pa was listed online (the 'more online link' in the Weather application.

I did this and noticed it still reports on my closest city that was on the phones DB (PhoenixAZ) i noticed there is a string "CityIndex" with a 4-digit value, im trying to locate my City on the website, but i have a feeling that its not located there... *Kingman, AZ*
When changing City's the 4-digit value changes as well..

The list of available cities is very small. http://www.accuweather.com/world-city-list.asp In the registry, there is also a city name that you can enter the new name for it as well. Just make sure you only make regeddits because thats all these are. the moment you go back into the program and pick a city, your changes get reverted. As for the cityindex, i think thats just the local index in the database of cities.

I found it on Accuweather, its NAM|US|AZ|KINGMAN "Kingman, AZ, US" the only problem is it reports as the last local city thats on the phones DB.
ie if it was on Las Vegas it says "Kingman" but reports the weather for Las Vegas... I have a feeling your correct with the CityIndex being a local lookup, but i feel that that Index is where it holds the records to download the info from Accuweather.com
Where can we find this Index?
Edit:
Wait, i went to the Accuweather site from the Weather App on the phone and it reports the same temps/etc, but on my desktop its completely different... Dont know which to trust (10 degree difference)
I am trying to find a better way to get this done. I wrote a mortscript that lets you input the info (city, location codes) and writes it to the registry and it seems to work so far... the only issue I am having it upon reboot it reverts back to the old information that was selected via the weather program?? not sure why as the reg edits shouldnt change. I will post a working script once I figure this out.
And just an update, when editing the Registry you need to also change the CityIndex line, the cityindex can be found on accuweather.com, it is the string of numbers right after the city codes:
/us/pa/harrisburg/17101 <----
it is not always the zip code. My location lanc is zip code 17603 but the cityindex code is 17454 or 17573 (17573 worked for me)
You will know thats it is working if you then select More Online and the accuweather page loads in PIE with your city
@ Bupahs
I had that too, reverting back and then it can't download for my location
I live in the Netherlands and i can't see the cityindex numbers, this is my link in accuweather:

That elusive CityIndex is none other than the +4 on your zip code. Lancaster, Pa is 17603-1599 the 1599 is the CityIndex. For example Harrisburg, Pa is listed in the HTC Weather applications list and when I go into the registry the CityIndex is 3265: the State Capitol is
State Capitol
Room 129, Main Capitol Building
Harrisburg, PA 17120-3265
So far successive reboots have not reverted back to old settings, and updates come through perfectly fine. So now all I need to do is edit my Mortscript to use the plus four zip and it should hold as well. But for now, find your +4 in your Zip and try the edits:
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\Location
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\LocationCode
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\CityIndex
I used your method and i does still work after reboots, but where it says "last tupdated" always remains the same, and if i manually update all it does is update the time it says "last updated" ( so by example it is static at 22 minutes ago, then i update and it turns into 45mins ago..)
It also doesnt seem to auto update.
I ended up downloading NRG Weather 3.0, NRG Mini Weather, and Mini Weather 1.4.
Im using NRG Mini Weather atm. HTC Default Sliding panel is kinda dodgy with non-default locations.
Actually, the CityIndex is index # or (row #, start from 0) of your city name in the "HH_0409_WeatherCities.txt" file. You can test this by moving the index of your city to the top of the list which will give your city a 0 for CityIndex value.

North America Weather Database V2 Manila (8-25-09)

Here is a weather database that contains every USA city, some Canada, and some Mexico. Plus it has every Stock HTC City. Every city has correct Timezone info has well. overall this has over 33,000 cities in there.
I have also routed everything through my site, and updated N2A script a little, converted everything to Fahrenheit to make it more accurate, and a few other smaller changes.
This will also have your correct timezone info for your state and everything else, it works great, and does not have the timezone bug, that has been on some users.
It will work on all V2.x manila files, on all resolution,
Right now picking world clock is a pain, I plan to expand that and make it easier, I just want to get this out there and get a feel for how its working.
Second issue is it can be slow to load at times, that is because its so many cities, this will be fixed in future has well.

THANKS TO N2A, GhettofreeRyder, and many others
SSSWWWWEEEETTTTT!!!! Thanks for this.
any chance there is a patched exe for manila2D MEGA?
I can try and convert everything to XML if that would help, and post that file in here,
file right now is done in SQLlite, so wont work, i have databases though, that I can convert to xml for you.
that would be great..
however, I stil dont know how to weather path the manila exe. I tried reading it in hex last night and it made my eyes loose focus.
I will try again tonight and see if I can make it work.
here is the XML of that data. should help you some.

cointelbro

thanks!
if you want to post the diamond file, in here i can get it posted, I will have to look up time zone info and add all that in there. but post the files you have and I will get them going, saves me time of looking everything up.
if anyone has other countries has well, let me know and i can get those going has well.
Thanks a lot! You are very kind!
This is the file of diamond, there is a big mistake of grammar, Abbruzzo is wrong, abruzzo is right
Timezone Italy -60
can this be done on the old m2d as well or just v2
It is actually missing some of the stock cities from the standard ROM. My city, Lakewood, Colorado (80226, suburb of Denver) was in the stock VZW ROM, but is not in here. Not surprising, as Lakewood is missing from METAR and other weather sources too. Bummer for me, but I'll live.
Need help please!!
The times for the cities are inconsistant.
I am in Milwaukee Wisconsin GMT-6 Central.
If I add Milwaukee, the time is ahead 1 hour. However, if I add Manitowoc for example, (same state,timezone, etc) the correct time is displayed.
If I go to change the local time for Milwaukee to the correct time, it changes me to GMT-5 Eastern, and when I reset, the time is now behind 1 hour.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Missing City?
I tried to add my own city, but it was missing. I live around 100 miles from Washington, DC (stock HTC city), but it was missing as well.
In reading the assorted entries related to editing the weather database, I get the impression that while accuweather US might have my city, this database is limited to cities in accuweather international. Is there some method by which I could input my zip code and find the nearest city that does appear in this database? Right now I'd be happy with a method to display a text listing of all the cities in Maryland.
Would someone please post a location/instructions where I can download the original (HTC stock) database?
Thanks.

Use the app located at the link in my signature to add cities.
You can use a zipcode for the accuweather code if it is a U.S. city.
You should update your signature to include information such as hardware and rom and update your profile so that it is easier to say your carrier and region. In another thread, I say you are using the Energy Rom, but for which device?
In any case, if you want to add the city, you will need the program that I wrote. All Energy ROMs that use that build number are Manila 2.1 or higher. My program now also supports latest versions of Sense 2.1 and Sense 2.5.

[Q] Weather - my town not in list, how to add it there?

Hey, I would like to add my town to the list - town called Pardubice, Czech republic. I don´t want to use it only from function "my location via wifi hot spot or gsm". I would like to know how weather is there even if I am not there and without permanent internet connection..
Could somebody help me to fix this problem? Thanks for answers
Forgive me if this is an obvious reply, but have you tried going to the weather tab? And adding it by choosing the option "add location??" when you do this it becomes a fixed location on your phone. If your city is not available in the list, you could try to find something in the near vicinity of your town. On older roms, the great program of Andreas Falke weather database editor could add some new city's but with the new programmes, I don't know of any new editors that could do this.
goodluck there
Joey

You need Weather City Editor App. from JVH3. This allows you to add custom towns/locations to the HTC list. I found the App. on this site, and followed the instructions in the thread so it can't be difficult...
The App. is made for larger devices than the Mini so some of the dialogs are a bit tricky to hit, but this App. worked. Other ones I tried didn't. Plus, once you've done it, you don't need to do it again. Unless you upgrade the ROM of course.
