I wouldn't be one of those people you described, however, I believe that the statement was rather inflamatory. As an IT Professional myself, I've learned that most IT Professionals tend to assume everyone else should have the same common knowledge that they themselves do. This simply isn't the case. Whereas I am sure you meant no ill-intent you may want to think about posts like that, thus saving yourself from alienating the very ones that you are trying to help.

just a thought. Meanwhile - thanks so much for your work on this endeavor.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
IMO it's not an unreasonable expectation with a name like XDA-Developers. :)

Btw, an "IT Pro" with "warez" in his screen name? :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:
Ok no matter what I try I can't get the weather to retrieve data. Can someone tell me if this is correct for my xml file?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<locations>

<city name="San Diego, US" loca="92110" land="United States"/>

</locations>

I'm getting pretty frustrated, can anyone help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JCreations:
Not sure wether this is mentioned in this topic or not. But you have to install the plugin in the main memory instead of storage card, otherwise it will not work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I'll need you to attach your htchome.dll file before I can hexedit it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That's actually doing the host alteration if I remember correctly in the background. I find it strange that neither worked at all though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
To be honest, it's frustration with the percieved lack of technical knowledge of people on here. It's XDA-Developers, as vp3G pointed out - we're supposed to be a hacker community, and to be a hacker, you need some basic technical skills. THAT is what I'm getting at. But to be honest, the instructions I put in the first post were designed to be almost foolproof to people with near enough no technical knowledge, and only basic computer literacy.

Quite frankly, I think those that don't have any basic idea about computers and/or an understanding of how the Windows Mobile system works (ie basic file editing, copying, and basic instruction following) shouldn't be sat here hacking their phones. Those who have no knowledge but wish to learn can study the wiki and the boards before jumping in with questions.

The frustration comes of the same questions over and over and over again, because people are too lazy / incapable of doing their research.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That *does* look right, and checking the translator, it does work.

What's your ISP? Can you do it over wifi?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I think that's been put in all the other homeplug threads, I didn't think it needed to be mentioned again. I just modified, I didn't create ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Amen, brother.

Nice work on this, btw. Works great.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:
I guess I too am sorry, didn't know asking for help in an open forum was frowned upon. I do have experice with these types of devices since I've used one for work for 5 years. This is just the first time I've ever done anything like this.

I even did a master reset back to factory settings and started new from fresh. Followed the steps, and came up with the same outcome. Says San Diego, US then "Unable to retrieve data for selected city. Select here to retry". Same result on retry. I plan on trying the wifi solution when I get somewhere that I can use wifi, but until then I've flustered since I've played and tweeked with this for the 3rd day in a row....no results.

I did my research I thought, from this site and ppcgeeks.....so I guess my lazy incapable arse just needs to quit, is that what your saying?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Heh, the comment wasn't aimed at you mate. You gave me a fairly comprehensive question, which I did my best to answer.

It's the "please make me an XML file" types, and those who ask questions which I've already plainly answered in the first post...

Sounds very weird though. What's your carrier?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:
Sprint. It's just wierd, not sure whats wrong. Even the pocket hosts didn't work for me.:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
When you do pocket hosts... can you access http://htc.accuweather.com/ and see the server error page?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:
No when I access that I still see accuweather's site just fine. no error page.....

do i need to remove the ppp_peer thats currently there? leaving the htc.accuweather.com one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
In that case, the pocket hosts method certainly isn't going to work for you, your carrier is using a proxy, or some other form of DNS resolution. (Although some users found a soft-reset did some good after setting the host.) As a result, it's not passing the data through my server.

I'm assuming you've tried the cabs etc, and still had no joy. It's very odd though. I can only put it down to something to do with the carrier, if the patched DLL doesn't work either...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:
Thanks for your help. I'm really confused also.

Has anyone out there with Sprint and the Mogul had problems with the Weather applet?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vst_ace:
got it to work, ONLY after selecting 'custom weather database' in the HTC home customizer. perhaps there is some conflict.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lembowski:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnnycs:
N2A, thank you very much for creating a workaround for everyone with local weather issues. I myself use the patched Home plugin to get my weather to work with US T-Mobile on my wizard, for some reason it's blocked or there is a proxy by deafult.

The issue I'm having is I'd like to use the Home plugin that's available in the latest NBD custom rom for the wizard, but when I try using the DLL's you provided, the whole plug-in doesn't work. I've also tried using the pocket hosts method, but there must be a proxy because I'm still able to connect to the htc.accuweather.com site in PIE. Can you patch the HTCHome.dll from this rom? I've attached it to this post.

If you can't, I understand. I'm just looking for a working HTC Home plug-in with the registry tabsettings like here, that has working weather. So a patched version of this one would work just as well probably.

I would like this too. You can customize the tabs you want to see with the tabsettings. Would be great if it could have the weather fix too. Tried overwriting the dll with the one from the first post, but tabsettings are gone after this action. Could you make a patched dll for "HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen.cab" please? :D

@DJayRage or johnnycs: for t-mobile did U only install the 6 button cab? or did U also install the SdkCerts.cab and edit the XLM file?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnnycs:
I installed SdkCerts.cab and then the 6 button cab. I didn't edit the XLM file because I live in NYC and it was already on the list of cities. You only need to edit the file if you need a smaller city that is not on the list.

HTC Weather update for "small" cities via ActiveSync

No, you can make it work also via an ActiveSync connection!

The hosts information edited on the PocketPC, either manually using Pocket Hosts or by installing the CAB files, is obviously used only by the local DNS (in other words, only for WiFi/GPRS/3G connections). Instead, internet connection via ActiveSync resolves the domain names on the PC and therefore uses the hosts file on the PC. You can edit the hosts file on the PC and the weather plugin will work also via ActiveSync (I just succeeded).

The location of the hosts file is:

WINDOWS 95/98/ME = C:\WINDOWS\hosts

WINDOWS 2000 = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts

WINDOWS XP/2003 = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts

LINUX = /etc/hosts

Don't know about Vista, but maybe as XP.

Hope it helps!

Should you experience too heavy load on your server and if you are willing to share your PHP code, I might try to set up an alternate server.

Data update question

Hi everybody,

just a question on data updating. I've managed to receive by email the weather updated data in the XML file (such us the internet download) - that's why the email is free for me and the internet surfing is not. Does anybody help me to feed those data to the application so it can update the forecast stored in the registry? :confused:

Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] carlosp_uk:
Thanks to everyone for such great research into the weather codes and locations.

I have now built weather customization into the latest version of (Bio)touch Settings too - see screenshots attached or this thread. It pulls the weather locations directly from the accuweather site, so it might possibly be a cleaner solution for you if you don't want to edit the files, etc.

München doesn't work with patched dll

Hi N2A,

still, I can't get cities with "ö" "ä" or "ü" to work. This got discussed in post #78 as well. I am not sur if this got solved finally?

Here's what I do:

Pockethost doesn't work for me for any reasons, so I replaced the original HTChome.dll with the patched one from post#1. No I get informations for small towns, but not for cities like "München".

xml file looks as follows:

<city name="München" locationcode="EUR|DE|GM002|M%FCnchen"/>

Accuweather-query:

Weather Plugin for HTC Home

No matter what method I'm using (cab or pocket hosts) - it does not work with T-mobile USA GPRS internet (proxied server for T-zones). All other internet applications are working good.

The only time it's working is when I'm connected to internet thru Activesync. As soon as I try cab fix or hosts fix - it does not work thru T-zones internet. Does anybody know how to fix that?

Your HTCHome.dll for cookers expects the files to be in \HTCHome, but when cooking ROMS on the Wizard everything gets put in \Windows.

I could of course copy the files to \HTCHome (which is what I'm doing now), but that wastes space.

I've resisted the urge to post until I could go no further. I'm a noob, but I've muddled my way thru the steps. I was having a proxy server problem, but that seems to have cured itself. :confused:

I live in Canada and though I can download weather for the primary Canadian cities, I've been unsuccessful for my own town. I was able to edit the xml file, and my town shows up in the list, but HTC home won't download data for it. I used the same convention as other Canadian cities. Example below:

<city name="Kitchener, CA" loca="NAM|CA|ON|KITCHENER" land="Canada" />

Being in the same province (Ontario= ON), my entry is:

<city name="Kincardine, CA" loca="NAM|CA|ON|KINCARDINE" land="Canada" />

Going to the accuweather website, the postal code N2Z1A1 is nestled in the url:

http://www.accuweather.com/canada-w...ner=accuweather&traveler=0&postalcode=N2Z 1A1

The postal code doesn't seem to be used by other Canadian locations in the xml file.

Any Canucks (or anyone else) care to weigh in?
