Q:Is root available at the moment for the Wildfire?
A:Full Root is only availble for Wildfires without the official 2.2.1 update(HBOOT 1.xx)
The only exception if you can make the Wildfire to have S-OFF with the XTC clip
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY THEN THE HARDWARE UNLOCKER CALLED XTC CLIP
Q: How to unroot/ remove root / remove clockworkmod ?
A: Just download your official ROM, ie RUU***.exe from shipped-roms.com and flash it.
Q:Where do I put MP3 files for notifications, ringtones and alarms?
Put your ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (if doesn't exist create)
Put your notifications to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications (if doesn't exist create)
Put your alarms to /sdcard/media/audio/alarms (if doesn't exist create)

Arranging Screens
How do you easily rearrange (already created) screens (left and right of home screen) without having to remove and recreate again. Thanks
Wildfire Weather Data
Where does HTC gets the weather data from. Is it from Accuweather ? How do you include cities not found in the list ? Thanks.
You need to find your closest location.
There aren't stations in every city.
Also you drag and swipe your screens for moving htem

Thanks for the reply. But that's not what I expected. It's clear now that Desire takes weather data from Accuweather. I remember when I was using WM (Jade) some cities are not listed by HTC (especially the small cities), but data actually exist in the main Accuweather database. (e.g. Labuan is not listed in Wildfire but actually listed in the main Accuweather dbase). These cities can actually be added by modifying/adding to weather.xml file. I am not sure what file is used in (Android) Wildfire. Does anyone know ? and if so how to edit that file ? Thanks.

HTC Sense Graphic Files
Can anyone tell
1) where (which folder does HTC Sense keep their graphic files ?
2) In what format (.png or .bmp)?
3) Can the files be edited/modified ? How ?
Thanks.

Sense Graphics are in the .APKs for sense,
You could modify them with a decompile tool and recompile the apk and theoretically put them back onto the device but you need full root and general knowledge of recompiling an app.
3D Interactive Games
To all Wildfire Users:
Does the Wildfire plays 3D interactive games like Raging thunder,Caligo Chaser,etc?
Thanks

you can tell your phone to retrieve the weather based on your location. it's working fine with me even in small cities.
You might want to update the root question to include links to the official post from rpearl regarding unrEVOked's effort...

Yes, thanks. The thing is sometimes it does update, sometime it says "data unavailable". Anyway, not a big deal as we can always get detail weather from the website using browsers. Danker.

Guys is there any app that we can use to count the call duration on a monthly basis?
I mean total duration of Incoming calls, Outgoing calls on a month - month basis?

Has anyone figured out how to change the weather location reported in the HTC plugin. I live in an area not listed in the initial setup (Sacramento, CA) and I found a few registry entries to change, but it did not seem to change the display. In fact, I think I might have broke it!!
I somehow got it to work the second time i tried it. I first reset it back using the interface, then edited the registry and added my city. Works great.
Could you explain exactly the modification ?
Thanks.
You can find the registry entry here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
HTC
HTCHome
Weather
Settings
You need to change the Location name and Location Code keys to match the format found on Accuweather.com for your City.
Press OK and save changes.
Backup your Registry first just incase.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
is it possible to "REPROGRAM" the "weather icon" on the htc today screen ??? i would like to launch another program instead...thank you
format
<city name="Tampa, US" locationcode="NAM|US|FL|TAMPA|33601"/>
best i can tell the above is the correct syntax for getting cities in the list but aside from the above city and a couple of MAJOR cities i cannot get this to work on any smaller cities or towns. anyone come up with anything else?
It wont work for me either :0( - after the change it wont download?
If it's possible, anyone could do a tutorial for the weather change screen ?
Sorry for my bad english....
Many thanks.
Works a treat, thanks
Well, it works like a charm for me. Happy to see that you can actually change the city name too (mine is now Amersfoort, without the NL).

I'm unable to change my weather city to Holiday, FL 34691 myself...tried a couple different variations, but it's just not holding.
So, I'm wondering...there are a FEW bigger US cities not included in this AccuWeather plugin app that HTC is using - when the phones are officialy released in N. America in the (hopefully) near future, will these cities be added as supported options? I mean, no Denver? Tampa?...but St. Petersburg...!?!?

Denver works fine for me. I was upset I couldn't get more specific and use Boulder or Superior though.

oh, I didn't try adding Denver, I was just looking at the included list of cities.
Could someone point me in the right direction for changing the weather - i cannot find the file on my touch to change the details. I followed the lead posted earlier but can't for the life of me find the appropraite file to change.
Changing Weather city
Hi all
Quite simple to change the defined weather cities. Just download a registry editor like Mobile Registry Editor (http://www.breaksoft.com/Download/MRE/MobileRegistryEditor.zip) which allows you to edit the registry from your PC using ActiveSync. Then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
And change the Keys Location and LoctionCode to the new city. To know the city code find it on http://www.accuweather.com/.
Cheers
you could always move to a city that is listed, this would resolve the problem....
Hi Everybody;
Does Anyone can tell me what is the code for the city Namur in Belgium ?
I searched on accuweather.com, the city is listed but I dont know where to go to retrieve this code...

Been thinking about this for a while now, is it possible to be able to set up the weather updater to automatically update were ever you are at either via GPS or cell towers...is this possible ? it would be great if it could be integrated with like Dual weather, Ifonze , or Rumballs Diamond WeatherPanel .
For someone who travels this would really be handy with out stopping and changing the set location.
any thoughts on this ? or has this been discussed already, which would not surprise me with all the great minds on XDA.

Yesterday I tried to add a new city from the weather-tab, but there where no city to choos from. I could just choose to search, or i thought I could, but when I enterd the city in the search-form, nothing mor than a warning signal sounden when I pressed the return-key on the keayboard, there where no searchbutton (I dont know I it suppoused to be). I have the same issue with the world clock.
I have winmo6.5 stock rom. I have also been using TD2 Tools, Topaz Tweeks and s2us.
Can it be any regestry key that is wrong or somthing else?

Many things can cause this.
some simple things to check are;
1. Does your SIP add a space after a word? This will cause it not to find a city. Simply hit backspace after city typed will bring up the list.
2. Sometimes your initial connection has to be through WiFi to get the city DB to update.
3. Depending on your location, there are some fixes out there for example Search Conflippers North America Weather v5, this updates the DB with most US Cities and zips.
Sorry I can't be more specific but your information is lacking, i.e., your location and carrier.
It have worked when I installed the 6.5, but no there seems to bee no cities. Is there a way to update the city database? It looks like the DB is empty.

1. the SIP issue will cause the DB to appear empty.
3. You can search for fixes specific to your area. I only know of the North America fix.
Interesting. Now I got answers when I search on the add city-page.

Install these 2 cabs to your device.
Warning; the DB is very slow so give it time to load after you type your city.
Kingsville is in there.

I can now add small cities In USA
Each state(US) is treated as a country and the country of united states is removed. Good Idea
Hey guys, got a couple of questions quick so any help would be great =)
I know you can set people's contact card pics as their facebook profile pic, i've done this for everyone successfully, just wondering if there is any way to make it auto-update (i have unlim data plan), or a way to update everyone on one click, the only way i can update them now is to go to each individual, open their online albumn, then edit the contact card, and let the new pic download, surely there's a faster way?
Also when i'm viewing a conversation between me and another person (in text messages in HTC Sense), it takes forever to load, and i can't type a message till all of them have loaded, and there's a 160+ for each person so they all load pretty slowly, surely there's a work around so i can type whilst it loads?
Thanks in advance =)
Edit: oh there was another thing, if i browse someones facebook photos, can i set any photo as the contact card picture rather than just the profile picture?
Thanks again
Bump, anyone help please? :/

you will be able to download updates, but youwon't be able to download roms from the htc website, it will give you an error when you input your serial.

This forum or HTC's forum?
this forum. (in brief - install hspl will let you install any rom, go hunt and do some reading, then when you understand what you are doing, go for it. )
Ah right thanks a bunch, just one last thing
When I'm downloading updates from HTC's website, it says select location closest to you, should I select europe 1 or 2 (I'm in london)
Doesnt matter, thats just which server sends you the file.
Ah right thought it was to do with bands heh
Thanks a bunch

Only more than three alarms with 3rd party alarm software (cant recommend, i dont use more than three, sorry)
As for slowdown, first off disable the flip clock when you return to home page, (search for disable manila flip) secondly if wifi is on that can make it sluggish when you wake it from sleep as it reconnects.
Hey peeps, gna post here rather than create a new thread.
I'm thinking about installing a cooked rom, i'm pretty sick of this ****ty t-mobile rom.....phone freezes up constantly, slows down etc.
Will flashing a cooked rom complete wipe everything off the phone, texts, contacts, photos, music, apps etc etc?
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

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.

Thank u a lot, working great!!!
