WeatherPanel Data

A_C,

For WeatherPanel the data is stored in text files not in the registry. For each city there is a "current" file which is exactly what we need. Problem is that the name of the text file represents the location code of the city.

For example, Las Vegas Nevada is filename "USNV0049-current". So if you may need to have a registry entry for the user to put in the city code "USNV0049" and then you can search for the file by adding the following:

Value of [HKCU\Software\MarsWare\WeatherPanel] (this stores the directory location of the program)

+

"Data\" (this is the subdirectory that the data text files are stored)

+

Value of [HKCU\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock\WeatherPanelCityCode] (as an example of user defined registry field)

+

"-current"

So in my situation it would point to:

\Storage Card\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\data\USNV0049-current

Now below is the content of the text data file. It should be easy to parse since you only need to read off a couple lines to get the temperature and sunny/cloudy/raining status. I'm adding notes in ().

Las Vegas, NV
39254.609363
78 (current temperature)
77 (i believe this is 'feels like' temperature)
324
1201
31
Clear (sunny/cloud/raining status. its night now and I will re-confirm tomorrow daytime)
calm
0
0
11
-7
falling
18
29.82
10.0
-

So you only need to parse line 3 and line 8 from the data file.

Hopefully I've explained it enough for you to add in WeatherPanel in a future build. All of us WeatherPanel fanatics will be truly indebted to you for it =)

Thanks in advance, A_C.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
A_C, I'm looking for the location of sunny/cloudy/raining icons and not having good luck. I think the default images are built into a WeatherPanel DLL file. I'm sure they have customized icons but that would be harder because you have to identify in the registry the current theme and do a file exist check to see if that theme has customized icons, etc.

Perhaps you can add some universal weather icons into Slide 2 Unlock??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
If anybody else has the bug mentioned earlier (I had it as well) of the slide-lock screen showing the phone being in flight mode when it is not, I made a slight change last night, and now it is showing my service with signal strength bars. I don't know if it is a fix, but you may want to give it a shot and see: change idlestart to "0".

P.S.

A_C very strong work, I look forward to any and all updates/improvements. I see others have chimed in with WeatherPanel, if it helps, there is a new (well...sorta) forum at:

http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/index.php

If I can provide any more info, please let me know and I will try!!

new crystal clock set numbers

Hope you all enjoy with that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
What do we do with these? Replace the clock images in the current folder? I like the look, and I can see where we can really have fun with the coloring, and fonts now. I look forward to maybe doing one myself (if I can learn just a bit more)....thanks!!!

in the netherlands the onlineshop http://www.pdashop.nl has a link on their site for downloading http://coolblue.e-fulfilment.nl/e-messenger/clicked.php?37249.446.19685.cbd42727.0

funny isn't it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
A small suggestion.

To assist with configuration, could your list of registry settings be in the same order as the registry itself?

This would help a lot and be good interim configuration assistance until such time as you are able to get to a configuration application (lowest priority, I know:)).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
v1.17 released...

@SeanFromSoCal

Thank you for your info. What is the displayed icon of your data? Is it the same as this one...

@pvdhelm

Only 4 stars?!

@Westronics

I've done some changes for the default settings order, but not for the detail description because the grouping of some settings have special meaning.

To ALL

As said, v1.17 is just released... again, please read the first 2 posts for details.

For the WM2003 version, I've put back the v1.161 iLock into the CAB file as v1.161 seems to be more stable.

For the new function "BlankOnTalk", please try it first as I believe some devices may have compatiblilty problem.

Good Luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cra3y:
thank You for new release, an solution for latin letters

hello A_C

i have an idea about showing latin chars:

try to write function that will replace "ąęśźńółćżŻĆŁĄŚŹŃÓĘ" into this "aesznolczZCLASZNOE" in function which is responsible to display date and time

i have done it in php:

IMHO it will be better to show for example "Sroda" (oryginal name was "Środa") than nothing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonneper:
@ Mister A_C

@sonneper

Your request is a system hack that's out of my ability.

OK, I understand..... Thank for your great work :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Could you show me how to do that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I like the additions, it is really cool to be able to get the "cliff-notes" version of the Today screen without even getting to it. With the missed call/voicemail/appointment and message status, combined with (I hope) Weather (I use WeatherPanel, so not yet), this makes the coolest, sleak, comfortable lock screen/screensaver I have seen yet!!! Very good work A_C!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] griffster:
What device are you using? I've got the application set to unload each time and when I set it to load again it takes less than a second on my Mio A701.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
You can also move it to your memory card and have a minimal impact on your device. As long as you keep the same card in most of the time, it works great!! I use one card for everyday/all the time usage, and only switch when I am using large files or media files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
Yes, A_C that is the proper image that was displayed last night for the "clear" status. And great that the Marsware website has a page to link all the images to the text in the data file. You probably noticed this page, but just in case: http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/icon-index.php?name=default

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mille:
i will say big thanx for all your effort you put into the new version.. awesome!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
I've installed all the version previously and upto v1.16 - never have any problems with my Hermes. I've tried version1.164 and 1.17 - It's no longer work. :( . When press the power button, keep getting a blank screen and Dpad not working. I've tried reset, uninstall, reinstall, cleanout registry both versions V1.164 and V1.17 but still no good. I've reinstall V1.16 and everyhting is working again :confused: . Can you tell me what's wrong? Many thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
Cup of coffee sent. :)

How about, in the next version, ordering the registry entires in the same order as the documentation? Is that possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diaftia:
New reg file with the new settings. All defaults.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diaftia:
Here are my defaults.

Note:

I use spb weather. Change that key if you don't.

I create a folder on my mem card called wallpaper. In that folder I put my wallpaper I use. That way I do not have to recopy it every time i upgrade to a new version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vorph:
i'm just a noob....i don't know how to install the bloody .cab :(

Help, pls...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
A minor issue on my Sprint Treo 700WX (edit: still present on version 1.7):

Locker always shows "flight mode" after the phone is shut off. Only a soft reset clears this.

BTW: I do not know how hard this is, but if the registry entries did not get overwritten with a fresh install, that would be deluxe! It takes me a while to get it all set up correctly again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diaftia:
Connect your PPC to your computer via USB, copy the file over to the device and launch it. If you need more help than that this is not the proper thread for it. Just search the forums. Tons of info.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
There are a couple of ways, but basically you move it to your phone and then click on it from file explorer.

For me, I put a folder ("cab files") on my SD Card and use ActiveSynch to copy it to there. I then use File Explorer in the phone to run the cab.

If you have the capability to do so, you could also e-mail to yourself from your desktop to your phone. I've done this, too. In this case, it likely will not run from the e-mail directly but must first be saved to a folder on the phone or memory card.

.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gizhola:
1) Copy the .cab file to somewhere on your PPC (use ActivSync Explore to do this)

2) Open File Explorer on your PPC navigate to where you put the .cab file and then tap on it to install it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diaftia:
Look two and three posts up from your original post. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
Maybe it's just me being dense, but I don't get it. I looked. To what are you refering?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrewlirow:
Hi A_C,

So appeciate of what you made in this wonderful share program, as specially the 1.17 latest version, however, as you mention, it doesn't support Atom Life, i am an Atom Life user, i found only one major problem... it is the mobile was "hand" after wake up from sleep mode..can't move the slider, would like to know if you have any advice or support on this, hope to enjoy this amazing fun, looking forward to hearing from you, thx a lot!:)

regards,

Andrew

Same problem here on my wizard 8125. 116 however did work.

After removing slide to lock also... screen still blanks and i can't wake it up. Have to pull the battery.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@pl55 & ROCOAFZ

It seems I saved Trinity but killed Hermes & Wizard... :p

Pls do a test for me...

Install v1.16; set "OffLCD" to 15; start Slide2Unlock; let the screen turn off by itself.

Can it be turned on again? Thx.

@Westronics

Thanks.

1. Maybe I'll move the configuration app up from the bottom... but no date yet.

2. I'm not sure I understand your question about "flight mode". When the phone is turned off, it does mean "flight mode".

3. The CAB installation will not overwrite the registry settings if you simply install the new version without removing the old version. It'll be done automatically (prompting that the old version will be removed...). Of course, to play safe, you may export the registry tree (Slide2Unlock) to a file for backup. Besides, the 2 default wallpapers will not be overwritten if the same installation process is applied.

@andrewlirow

I'm confused because some Atom Life users reported it works (just yesterday) & some not in the past. Maybe you can try to uninstall it; remove all files & reinstall again. As I cannot reproduce your situation, no further help can be offered.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Slide to lock works in both 1.17 and 1.16

If i use the power button however it seems to suspend it. I can hear in my computer speakers the tone of the usb disconnecting and my bluetooth led stops flashing. if i press power again it turns on but the screen does not.

also it disconnects the ability to see the device on my pc then reconnects using the power button. Screen though stays blank until i pull the battery.

Also if i remove slide to lock entirely... it still does it. Did 1.17 change a setting in the registry to put the device in suspend or some power mode it doesn't support? (and won't remove the setting change when uninstalled)

Oh and the offset is set to 15. I didn't change this but that was what it was set too when i put 1.16 back in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
1.17 works very well on the Dopod D810!

Just one quick question that I can't find from a 'quick' scan of the past 66 pages - does the background have to be of file type .BMP?

*add*

first page says bmp, jpg and png but it won't load jpg files. any reasons this could happen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
I've installed 1.16 - and set OFFLCD to 15 and everything fine, it turn off by itself. And more vimportantly I can press the power button to enable it again for slide to unlock. But 1.164 and 1.17 - on Hermes- Have to reset and uninstall the software.:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
I only have 1.164 and 1.17 Where did you get 1.16?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
V1.16- I've downloaded a few weeks earlier- lucky I still kept a copy of it. Not sure if A_C still have it some on this forum. But if you needed it - I might post it on this forum again ( unless A_C object to it).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
I think i found the solution

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]

"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1

Change to

"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0

After installing 1.17 and changing this... it now responds ...

Woot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
is there anyway to make the tomorrow word the 1st line? Some of my appointments get cut off due to the length. Either that or think about making a 2nd line after so many characters.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BlackBeauty:
i found 1.16 at ppcwarez but came back here to get 1.17
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andrewlirow:
Hi,

how could I access the program code? did I need to install any program?

thx,

Andrew
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@ROCOAFZ

Out of curiosity, how you find that registry key to solve your problem? I never touched that key before. Besides, I've tested both values on my device but still cannot reproduce your case.

There is no solution yet for the "long" appointment data.

@pl55

v1.16 is removed because Sian reported that it will make his Trinity hang up. If anyone need it & happy with it, you're free to distribute it.

@BlackBeauty

Any error came out? Pls make sure the full path is typed (including the preceding "\")

@andrewlirow

Pls read the second last para of the 2nd post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teh2000:
AC,

First let me say a big thank you for your brilliant effort. My feedback on using yr program so far are :

1. When selected to autostart =1, power button is hit "off" then power on, the slide button will freeze. Then after 15 sec (as set OffLCD = 15), the device power off by itslef. Then this time hit power button on again, the wallpaper screen appear and the slide now is activated and working well. So work around for me is to avoid using the power button and instead soft select "slide" icon to lock the device.

2. The date display font size will run well initially, The after sometime, the date display font size will be reduced to a szie that is hardly readable (I guess from font size 9 to perhaps 3 or 2). My solution is to reload the slide2unlock 1,64 cab again, then the date display font size will return to normal size.

Other than that, i am very happy with the program. It is really cool.

I am using O2 stealth hybrid phone running WM5 English language version.

Thank you once again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
Yep this registry changes has enable to use my Hermes with V1.17 too :D Well done.

@ A_C - can you figure this solution out for your next version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deluxion:
@ A_C

I don't think that you have killed all Hermes, because mine is working perfectly with version 1.17. No problems so far.

Slide2Unlock is installed in main memory and all settings are default except CloseApp which is set to 1.

Also to disable slide2unlock when keyboard is open would be a nice feature to consider on your next release.. :D

thnx

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

Losts of searching. Found this setting as increasing batter life in hermes (lol and i have a wizard but i knew the keys would be the same). I decided what the heck... i'll look at mine as it's a power management feature... and mine was disabled so i though.. hmm maybe this will wake it up. Changed it, soft reset and it worked.

In other words i found it by dumb luck :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
Uhm.... I've spoke too soon. The problem reappear again ... reinstall V1.17 with clean install still getting blank screen. Guess I have to go back to v1.16 for now. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I am actually using a .gif file now, and it works great!! I never even thought about changing the type when I was changing the size (I am a Doctor Who fanatic, so I just find a cool pic, resize it, and I'm good). The important thing as mentioned above is to make sure the path is complete (including if it is .jpg .bmp......).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Westronics:
I try and be clearer (this is with V1.164 and 1.17 on a Treo 700WX):

1. Load up the locker. Shows the correct phone info (Sprint and signal strength).

2. Get back to normal use (slide the slide to the right).

3. Turn phone off.

4. Activate locker - the phone now shows "flight mode." as it should.

5. Get back to normal use (slide the slide to the right).

6. Turn phone back on.

7. Activate locker - the phone now still shows in "flight mode." This is now in error, as the phone is now active.

No amount of turning locker on and off (unloading it from memory, etc.) fixes this. Only a soft reset. Weird.

Of course, I don't care much, really. Just reporting the error. I don't really want to see the phone state, or battery, or speaker, or appointments, or weather, or anything, really, except the "slide to lock" itself. :) The really, really simple (from a user view, anyway) "light" version that maybe will be done some day. :)

As I said before, the basic screen locking functionality is truly awesome and has solved a real problem for me, working exactly as i want it to, as opposed to the built-in screen lock or any other screen saver/locker type program. The rest of it (battery indicator, etc., etc.), holds no value for me. I am sure I am in the minority, though, as most folks seem to want all the "bells and whistles."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AD10:
A_C..well done....

A_C - You have done well, since our discussion about the voicemail icons...KUDOS !

However, on my MDAC III with BnB V2(Pof and tom_codon)'s ROM - which I just flashed BTW....the voicemail shows as a negative value, though this is a minor one, its only necessary to inform you.

I am still struggling with the settings to autostart the slide-lock, without mapping to any buttons..am I in order looking to configure that setting ?:cool:

Keep it up, you are very much appreciated !

Hi i'm having a problem with my SPB weather Display instead of weather icons i ge an N/A any body has an ideay of how to fix this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xanthus:
I like " BlankOnTalk" this function.

But the icon of SpbWeather is still unable to reveal in v1.17.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gajet:
Getting that too, was fine under 1.16??? If that was the version it was activated. Now I just get big grey N/A.

Would downgrade if I could, but that version is no longer here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vorph:
Thx, man!!!The problem was that i copied the unrared .cab to the pda, not the archive :) ...i used to run the setup file which was opened with an html editor...

Now it works fine, just a minor problem..my pda locks itself in 5sec.Witht Ilock, it does the same thing, BUT it locks the pone when i talk on it, thus ending my call :( ...i'm a really incompetent user.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cra3y:
in php:

$converted=strtr($to_convert,"ąęśźńółćżŻĆŁĄŚŹŃÓĘ", "aesznolczZCLASZNOE");

$to_convert - string contains latin letters like "Styczeń"

$converted - result string contains "Styczen"

strtr - this function returns a copy of str, translating all occurrences of each character in from to the corresponding character in to.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCApache:
Same here Gajet, when I change it to the default weather source it works I can see the icons but when I use my custom template no icons and as you stated this was working great in v1.16 (which I still have a copy of and may go back to?)

First of all thank you for this program. :)

Did you see the last iphone video where a guy explains a lot of things about the iphone? Well, the thing is the way the iphone turns off.

It's a slide on top of the screen with a red button. It shows up when when you press and hold the power button.

Do you think you can take this challange?

Here are some pictures:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Nice eyecandy but seems like a lot of work just to switch off the system. The only way i would find that useful is if for example wisbar advance or another launcher had a power off icon which may be prone to accidental presses.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
Is there anyway the weather preview can be taken from WeatherPanel or SPB Mobile Shell?
