Erm, NAM|US|VA|FORT%20BELVOIR doesn't work on the main AccuWeather site either. Did you get the proper code? I did a search on AccuWeather International, and couldn't find it.

Tried using your ZIP code instead?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wpbear:
type in "Fort Belvoir, VA" in the main site and it does work. zip code for 3 bt htc home I have not mastered.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Doesn't work on the AccuWeather International site, which is why it's not shown up. The ZIP code (according to the AccuWeather site, anyway) is 22060. Try entering an entry like this:

<city name="Fort Belvoir, US" locationcode="22060"/>

Simple as that.

Ok it work with the this method thanks.

swedish cities? å ä ö

Hi, this is what ive been waiting for, i able to get the most cities or even small villages to work as long as they dont have "å ä ö" in them, ive tried %E5 and å aswell as just å but somewhere along the line i think there is a change of xml encoding. would it be possible to add a check incomming data from accuweather.com and re-code it as UTF-8 before parsing it for output on your server?

please look at this example:

there is a space between % and E5 that shouldt be there, just dont know how to get rid of it from this forumpost

cheers

Here is the HTCHome.dll from the Sprint Touch ( CDMA Vogue) so that you can patch. Now I am not sure if this is the correct one its date 9/17/2007. Also it copied as a mui file. Im a noob so I dont know if its the right file let me know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
here it is

N2A,

No matter what I did I was unable to get my Messages application to start up. Then I noticed that the sync started failing last night after I had installed the weather-patched 6-tab home as mentioned in my previous posts. The Support Code for the sync failure is 0x80004005 which appears to be related to Daylight Saving Time issues. My guess is that there is some DST patch on my Sprint Touch/Vogue that is getting lost after installing your stuff which originated from a different device. Conjecture at this point, though.

Regardless, I went ahead and did a hard-reset, re-entered my Exchange server relationship, and now I am able to get my email again. And by doing this I also now have the original HTCHome.dll which I have now attached...I don't believe that the one that CarlosB56 attached is the one that you are looking for. My hope is that if you patch this specific dll then my device won't have DST issues syncing with Exchange Server 2007. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to do this. BTW, I left the Read only and System attributes of the file unmarked.

Thanks again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Rightyho, I've patched and signed. You'll need to install the SdkCerts.cab file if you haven't already (copy to device, execute from file explorer / your favorite file manager), then install the attached cab.

I recommend the normal (UPX compressed) one, but if you've any problems with that one, try the uncompressed one.

Not working yet

Wow, thanks for your quick work! Unfortunately, I received the message "Installation of HTC Vogue and Sprint Touch N2A Patched Home Plugin DLL.cab was unsuccessful" when installing it on my device (and I had installed the Sdkcerts.cab that I had used a few days ago from your first post prior to that). I then tried the Uncompressed version and received the same message "Installation of HTC Vogue and Sprint Touch N2A Patched Home Plugin (Uncompressed)DLL.cab was unsuccessful".

I tried it again after a soft-reset but no luck. I also tried it with the home plugin disabled and with it turned on...still no luck. Are there any other things I should be trying to get this to work?

Added addtional cities to weather

I tried addding to cities that I want to the XML file. The cities showup but can not download the data for the cities. I tried the format listed in the forum. I also copied a line for a city that works and modified the fields with the info for the cities I needed. If I go to Accuweather and enter the data it will show the info. Any suggestions. Thanks, I am new to the site but the work and help done here is great.

PLEASE HELP :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
(apologies if I'm repeating anything you already know or have done...)

The HTC Home app is hard-coded to use a different Accuweather site that only returns results for the cities that HTC has told them to return (I talked to their customer support and they said take it up with HTC). So until they do so, adding new cities into the xml file still won't get you the results you are looking for.

N2A has kindly modified the HTC Home app to hit his own server which then gets results from the actual Accuweather site. If you look at the first post in this thread you'll see you need to load and install the SdkCerts.cab file and then the cab file that matches the home plugin that you have/want. So until HTC's version of the accuweather site returns results for all cities you will need this "patched" dll to hit N2A's server.

Good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Did you add your city to the xml file as described in post #1 in this thread? Please describe the steps you have taken so far to get this to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MonteCristoffOn:
same problem

Hi,

got the same problem...

-> going to AccuWeather web site to get the code : OK

-> modify all the weather xml files (HH_040C_WeatherCities.xml, WeatherCities.xml and HH__WeatherCities.xml) : OK

-> replacing the files in the \Windows directory : OK

-> selecting the town in the plugin : OK

-> trying to retrieve... but nothing !!! = KO

I don't know why it's so difficult compare, for example, with SPB Weather...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MonteCristoffOn:
(resolved)

Sorry for the annoyance,

I've just installed the KaiserHTCHomeDLL.CAB and it 's just work !

Thanks and sorry again for the reading pollution in this topic.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hrm, not good. I've not come across this before. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the signature - you definitely put the sdkcerts.cab back in after the resets?

Can you see if you can reset the read-only attribute of the DLL via a file manager (total commander, for example)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Yes I did put the sdkcerts.cab back after the reset and before attempting the install. I don't see a way to uninstall sdkcerts but will re-download from the link you provided and install it again just in case it makes a difference (though I'm not placing much hope in that).

I looked at my dll with total commander, and the read-only attribute was marked. So I unmarked it and then went to try the installs again...still no luck. But when I went back to the dll it's read-only attribute was still marked. This time I unmarked it and then went back to the dll to see if it was still unmarked, but it wasn't...it had reverted back to being marked (or had never successfully been unmarked). I had disabled the htc home prior to doing all of this, so I don't know what other process would have a hold of this dll. I don't know if this tells you anything or not.

Is there any sort of install log that can help diagnose this? LMK if you need anything else to debug this. I've got someone else at work that just got a Sprint Touch (Vogue), and hopefully they will be willing to try this as well. Thanks again for your efforts...it's only a matter of time...

N2A...where is the dll file that i asked about in the pm...please let me know thank you...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
does not work for me. Did everything you said on the first post, but I cannot chose another city from Home. The "select city" doesn't show up. I'm stuck with the original one.

Any solution?

I have a Touch with native rom.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Had a feeling that'd happen, it's because it's in ROM. There is one other way of doing it - but it's not hugely pretty - which is using Resco Commander to "overwrite" the ROM DLL. All I can think of is that it's got something stopping it being overlayed, which is confusing as the Kaiser and Touch let me do it with a cabfile.

I've also an idea that it could be my fault because of a minor screwup with the cab INF setup, which I've now fixed.

I've re-uploaded the cabs, try them - if they don't work, try copying one of the DLLs to your device somewhere (e.g. my documents) and then using Resco Explorer to copy to \WINDOWS. I'd recommend not using the uncompressed one unless the normal compressed one doesn't work.

Let me know how it goes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Which Touch? The original HTC Touch or the Sprint Touch (aka HTC Vogue)?

Please describe precisely what you did. If you installed the TouchHTCHomeDLL.CAB package, you need to alter the \WINDOWS\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml (or corresponding localized file), and then it'll show up if you tap the city name (or the "tap here to select a city" text) on the weather tab. But I'm not entirely sure where your issue is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
If you mean that the Select City screen doesn't fill with cities, then that is the same result that I was getting after following the instructions. I have a new "Sprint Touch" versus the unlocked HTC Touch versions that the rest of the world has had for months and that the patches attached to the first post are based on.

If you are a Sprint Touch user could you please give the instructions in post #783 a try? Oh, wait...N2A just posted updated instructions to try in #795 on this page, so give those a try if you dare. And if you are not a Sprint Touch user then I'm not sure what to tell you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You don't need the DLL, although I've included all the information you should need to get it installed above, at post #795. There's a patched version of the DLL itself there too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Thanks, will do! Unfortunately it will be 5-8 hours before I can give this a try.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
Hi.

I have the original HTC Touch. I installed the TouchHTCHomeDLL and altered the xml file. soft reseted but the "select city" doesn't work. Then I installed the Sdk Certs. Soft reset. Still the same problem...

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Hmmn...that's interesting. I mistakenly installed the patch before the sdkcerts.cab as well. But then I uninstalled the the patch after that, installed sdkcerts.cab, and then installed the patch and got the same results, so I thought having installed the patch without the sdkcerts.cab hadn't made a difference, but maybe it did???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
yup. i lost the hability to change cities. I uninstalled the patch, restored the xml file as it was (removed the added lines) and... still stuck with the same city!

Anyway around this?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] already known:
thanks guy...it worked out...its like 2 degrees off but its good...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Okay. First of all, you should have installed SdkCerts.cab first, or it probably wouldn't have worked at all.

Secondly, please define "select city doesn't work". When you press it, does it come up with the box saying Select City? Is the list blank, or does it have anything in? I need a bit more detail than you're giving me here.

I'm *guessing* that you are getting an empty city list, which is normally a dead giveaway for a broken XML file (ie improper editing). Please confirm what you've done, either way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Heh.

Can you confirm though - has it worked for you? And what method did you use? I need confirmation that one of these methods has worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Sounds like your XML file is corrupted mate, or has incorrect syntax somewhere - what did you use to edit it?

We could do with a "reference" copy of the new Vogue's XML file somewhere.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
yes. the problem is the xml file. I installed the HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin_N2A_WeatherPatched.cab and i can noy choose a city with no problems. I used wordpad to edit the xml file and used reco explorer to move it from "my documents" to windows. Not only my added cities don't show up, as when I tap below "Weather" nothing and I mean nothing happens. Maybe I should use other soft to edit the xml file?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I believe Notepad can do the job - personally I use Crimson Editor - but there's obviously something up with the syntax. I'm assuming you're copying another line, and replacing the data with your own.

There is always the other alternative if you don't get anywhere - install the Schen 2.1 patched version, and go from there. Either that, or I believe the HTC Home Customizer programs are capable of doing the editing for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
Can someone post here the original/unedited HH_0409_WeatherCities file? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] depro:
SOLVED!!

It was the damn soft I used to edit the xml file. No problems whatsoever with Crimson Editor.

Thanks N2A and Sprinttouchguy.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Woo whoooooo! Your fix to the INF setup must have been the culprit, because my first attempt with the new HTC Vogue / Sprint Touch Patched HTC Home DLL installer worked like a charm. I've also verified that I am still able to sync with my exchange server at work, so I am VERY appreciative of your efforts! Simply fantastic.

I haven't tried the other files you posted ("...if it ain't broke..."), but I'd say it's safe to post the first cab on your first post. I'll be forwarding other Sprint Touch owners to your solution as well, so thanks for making this such an easy thing (relatively) to set up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
Hello to N2A and all the others that are hopefully going to help me. :)

I am posting this after I got the link to N2A's thread in my own thread.

So here is the situation:

I have an HTC P3300 aka Artemis, with the official HTC version of Windows Mobile 6.

Several months ago I have installed the 6tab-Homeplugin (original filename: "HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen"). Since I am living in Luxembourg, I had to edit the "HH_0409_WeatherCities" file.

For several months I downloaded the weather data through my router. Everything worked fine, until last week.

All of a sudden I had to re-enter the WPA-code to my router, no idea why. But since then I could not download any weather data, even for the other cities, originally in the HH-City List. (But the rest of the internet worked fine, also the QuickGPS).

I tried to re-install the plugin. The result: the weather tab stayed completly empty: the first row (where the city name should be) and the second bigger row (where the weather icons should be) were empty, even no text like "impossible to retrieve data"...nothing.

Could somebody tell me, why all of a sudden this doesn't work anymore? And what should I do to change it? I want to keep the 6Tab plugin (no 3 or 5 one, always the maximum lol)

Thanks in advance for your help.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Did you install one of my cabs, or did you install the original Schen one and use an edit / customizer / pocket hosts customisation? I'm guessing that you were using the IP-based method, which I deactivated about a week ago.

If you're talking about the HTC-supplied city list, that's nothing to do with me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
The first file I used was the original shen cab, which I found somewhere on xda-developpers.com, and to add my city I had to edit the citylist.

Which one of your cabs is the 6tab which I can use on the P3300?

And what the SdkCerts.cab doing? Sorry I am a little bit new on this PDA matter. Thanks for your fast answer and help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, mine is specifically so you can add new cities which aren't on the HTC city list. You need to install the sdkcerts.cab file before attempting to install any of my patched versions.

Are you running Windows Mobile 5 or 6? I'm assuming 6, in which case after installing the sdkcerts.cab, you will want to uninstall your existing Schen cab, and install the Latest patched Schen 2.1 6-tab HTC Home - For Other Devices - UPX Compressed.

SMS Button Bug?

I am fairly new to the PPC arena and am getting used to how progressive it is so bear with me.

I seem to be having a problem with the new HTC Home plugin. I have installed the HTC Home 2.1 for all other devices (Schen cab, WM6 only) on my PPC6800, commonly called a Titan or Mogul. I first installed the SdkCerts.cab and everything installed successfully. Weather works, display, etc...

However, when I tap on the SMS tab (one in the middle) it brings up BOTH my text message inbox and then brings up my account picker and chooses my last used account. Essentially, two programs are now running after I tap. I run a Threaded SMS customized for the 6800. When I access SMS through Programs or my softkey it pulls up just my inbox making me believe the Home plugin might be playing a part. Any suggestions would be welcome and I appreciate the time.

Thanks! It worked perfectly! :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

Never heard of it... and to be honest, this isn't the place for it, this is about the patched weather plugins I deal with.

New and Need some help

Eh there!

I just got a Touch about 2 weeks ago and am starting to get into changing things on it. So please bare with me.....

Im not new to modifying things and have customized this phone pretty well so far.....but in the process it seems I have lost my weather all together..

No matter what I try to do from picking my city to ones around me to the major one thats close, all I get is unable to retreive data for selected city, over and over.

My phone is the HTC Touch (elf)

Unlocked on the Rogers network

In Toronto, Ontario, Canada

my main city is Whitby, Ontario

I am using the newest beta version (thought this might help correct the problem) of Home Customizer and it has my city and others in the data base but nothing at all seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I don't support the 1.5 version that's shown there - you'll need to install a patched cab. Try the "HTC Home 2.1 for all other devices (Schen cab, WM6 only)" from the download page. Don't forget to install SdkCerts.cab first, as described on the download page.

Alternatively, zip up a copy of your \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll cab, and I'll patch it for you and create an installer for the Helmi Apache ROM. :)
