Ok, it works now! Many thanks!!!!:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I think I've broken something when I've UPX packed this stuff. More to follow, along with schen's updated plugin.

Edit: No I didn't, I think I may have found a glitch! More to come.

Edit 2: Oh, maybe I did... *groan* Diagnosing...

Edit 3: Got a bit over-zealous with that compression. Now fully working again as far as I can see, please report bugs!

i had problems to get it work, too. Til today. i selected with my touchscreen always my city.

but i think this is the problem.

Choose your local area by going to the weather tab, and clicking on the bar below "Weather". Choose your local town/city from the list which you inputted, and press the LEFT SOFTKEY for Select.

Select city by only pressing left softkey.

So at the risk of sounding like an idiot, I understand all you are telling us with the first post. I have a Mogul 6800 with sprint running wm6 and I can't get to the windows folder to edit the 404 xml folder. I can find everything else but don't know why I can't see the windows folder... my life would be so much easier... thanks for your time..:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Make sure that Show Hidden Files and Folders is enabled in Windows Explorer, under Tools -> Folder Options.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Polen:
I just installed your Kaiser 2.0 plugin on a hard reset fresh Sprint Mogul and the plugin came up blank, I could see the background of the plugin but no tabs or clock or nothing.

Come to find out the Kaiser moved all files accociated with this new version into a directory called HTCHome and not Windows, so the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml is now in the HTCHome directory and not Windows. I have a HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml backup with my city that I can just copy and when I copied it to the Windows directory and to the HTCHome directory, the plugin worked.

For some reason your HTCplugin needs to have HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml in the Windows directory to work and the Kaiser 2.0 need this file in the HTCHome directory. I think your DLL is still looking in the Windows directory.

Quick Question:

With this one: HTCHomeWM56Tab.N2Apatched.cab

Can you use the HTC Home Plugin Customizer?

Thanks,

nomb
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
No idea. Ask the guy who wrote it. I believe he referenced the unpatched version.

However, don't try to activate my weather server via that one, as it's built-in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Yeah, I noticed that - I'll update the front page, I forgot to. Thanks for the prod.

The Kaiser 2.0 cab version I put up looks in \HTCHome, but the DLL-only version (for the Kaiser device, drops straight into \WINDOWS) should be looking in \WINDOWS for it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] skimaniac6:
Thanks tons, that was all the help I needed.. I did what you said and it worked like a charm, amazing what happens when you follow directions. I think its great people can share their skills with others and help them down the path... My Mogul is perfect now... except that sending e-mail problem....lol

Thanks again:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schen:
n2a,

I have a couple of notes with regard to my latest update on HTCHome(October 1, 2007). I believe your latest update is based on this one.

1. The WeatherCities.xml supposed to be in HTCHome directory. It is necessary to relocate it to the HTCHome directory along with all the graphics as a result of my last patch correcting the launcher tab to display the predefined graphics by default. This xml file supposed to be in the same dir as all the graphic files.

2. I sign all the dll and exe with my own certificate "OEM Sign 2007". So. it is MANDATORY to install OEMSign2007.cab to make it work properly. Unless ofcourse if you resign all exe and dll with the SDK certifiate.

Great work on the weather stuff....it surely help a lot of people with missing cities.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You are correct, I used the 1st October update to create the latest release.

The OEM sign certificate may indeed be a cause of some of the fun and games - I've been using the "smartphone 2003" cert that I mentioned a few posts back. I may just re-sign the stuff with the cert I was using, saves confusion.

You're welcome to implement these fixes into your own releases if you like too, rather than maintaining two copies. I'm going to be making sure the server stays working and up-to-date anyway.

I'll resign and re-upload. Thanks for the heads up, I should have realised this myself!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] schen:
Smartphone 2003 Certificate

Not many people realize this including me. The sdkcert.cab you are using dont have anything to do with Smartphone 2003 certificate. Go ahead and extract the -setup.xml and see the content then see if you can find this string "8aeb6e720079eb0494ae9be32cb13a9e3687d913". This is the thumbprint of Smartphone 2003 certificate.

For smartphone 2003 cert you need different cab to install to the device. I made one for you attached.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It doesn't? Oops.

I really should check what I'm signing with!

thanks to u guys i can get up 2 date weather on my touch im on tmobile in compton ca outside of los angeles but cant seem to put the edited .xml back on my phone keep getting a error
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Define "error"? I'm assuming you're trying to overwrite the file in ROM...

You'll probably need Resco Explorer to get it into the ROM. Copy it somewhere else on your device, then use Resco to copy to \WINDOWS.

Hello

I've tried to hexedit HTCHome.dll with XVI32. It was easy to replace "http://...", but when i upload htchome.dll on my htc touch, i can't enable HTC home plugin from Start->Settings->Today->Items. It's invisible. If a replace HTCHome.dll by the original dll, i can. So, i've joined my HTCTouch.dll (original and patched), if you could tell me please why it doesn't work...

I've juste hexedit, replace en save dll.

Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I'd guess you haven't installed the SDK certs, and/or re-signed the DLL. May I suggest if you're on a Touch, you install the sdkcerts.cab from post #1, and use the pre-patched DLL - will save you some hassle. Still, if you really want to use your own, the signing util I use is a bit further up in the thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bono2007:
Well i haven't resigned it. But as the size of yours isn't the same as me, i didn't tried it. UPX ;) Ok i will try. Thanks.

I've tried it, i had a modded one with 5 tabs and now i have 3 tabs but weather works. So i'm trying to put another patched one of your list...

I changed with HTCHome.dll from HTCHomeWM56Tab.N2Apatched.cab, and after softreset, it's not working.

Is it possible you to resign my own dll ? It's a 5 tab plugin dll.

Thank you...

Install on IIS

A couple people way back there wanted to know how to set this up on their IIS server.

If you're running your own IIS server:

1. Make sure you have a static IP address for your server's internet connection.

2. Get and install PHP. For example, see: http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html

Or, easier, if you're using a Windows web hosting provider:

1. Ask for a dedicated ip address from your web host provider. Baulk briefly when they tell you this is $5. Then pay.

2. Ask to have PHP installed on your account if it's not there already.

Then...

1. Get the weathertranslator-0_2_3.zip file from the first post and extract the "weathertranslator.php" file.

2. Upload that file to [root of your web server]\widget\htc

3. Create a new file called forecast-data_v3.asp

4. In that file, paste the following code and save:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"
Response.Redirect "weathertranslate.php?" + Server.HTMLEncode( Server.URLEncode(Request.Querystring) )
%>

5. Upload the forecast-data_v3.asp to the [root of your web server]\widget\htc path.

On your phone:

Do the manual steps from the first post, but, put your dedicated IP address in pocket hosts instead of the IP address listed.

That's should do it! Workin' for me...

Weather panel

there are 5 days update on the weather panel, but when the next day come the weather display are still on the previous day... it will not automatically change the weather display according to the day of forecast.. you need to update first to show the current day forecast...

any explaination on this? please help..

thanks..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, if you raelly want to sign it yourself, you can use the signcode batch file I posted a few pages back. However, if you're using a 5-tab on the Touch, you may as well just use the cabfile I posted in the first place.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
There's a setting to auto-update on selecting the tab - click the city on the tab, hit the right softkey, choose weather options, and enable "Download weather automatically". That's the same for all the home plugins.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

Why Go Through The Trouble with the first post

This may have already been posted, but an available HTC Home Customizer add-on allowed me to use my hometown (pop. 2000), plus it adds a lot of other nice extras. http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jhun_jhun007:
i already did it after i installed the HTC Home plugin, the "Download weather automatically" was enabled since then. I'm wondering why the weather panel, displays only the forecast of the last update even 2days already past. It will display the current weather forecast ONLY when you CONNECT or get update through the internet. The succeeding forecast will not display until you updated. It seems the 5 days forecast is not working properly.

i noticed that after i installed the plugin, the HTC home folder was not in the /Windows folder. is this normal? do i need to copy some files into my /windows folder?

many thanks..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Because the changes I'll be making shortly will be breaking the way that it routes through my server. Basically.

What I recommend is using a combination of my cab and the customiser cab if you want to make it pretty.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Nice work! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It's normal - Schen moved a lot of the files to \HTCHome to make the Windows folder load faster. It's a good thing.

Please note it's \HTCHome, not \WINDOWS\HTCHome.

Good luck, and drop on a post if you've any problems. It's a fairly simple hexedit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Please can you explain what you mean? Which code? There's quite a bit of it!

If you're in the US, you can just use your ZIP code, as specified on post #1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] masta7100:
i mean this code... I'll look at it again and see what happens... I think I may have overlooked that part

Make a note of this code, e.g. EUR|UK|UK174|Manchester for Manchester, UK. You'll need to enter this into the XML file.

I was talking about that code EUR|UK|UK174|
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You can substitute EUR|UK|UK174|Manchester for your zip code (e.g. 19601). (See the line above, that says Next, you need to work out where you are. In the US, you can use your ZIP code. For the rest of the world, do the following:)...

If you look at the US version below, it shows how to enter it as a ZIP code as opposed to the international code. I just verified, and the system translates it perfectly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] masta7100:
wow, cool. I tried entering that in and I still had a problem. I didn't see it listed. do you think you can make an xml file for me and send it to me? my email address is mpbochenek@gmail.com I'd really appricate it. I then can look at it. when I open the xml file I get a huge list of all the different locatios and tried changing the zip of one of em and it didn't work. I dunno what i'm doing wrong.

Also when you edit the file are you doing it on your pc or PDA and what program if you are doing it on your PDA?

Thanks for helping me out.

I'm gonna Read it over a little better... I guess I was kinda rushing through it. I'll get back to you on my results of the whole thing
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
All the information on this is on the first post. The only thing you need to do is add a line with the following information:

3-tab homeplug version:

<city name="Reading, PA, US" locationcode="19601"/>

6-tab homeplug version:

<city name="Reading, PA, US" loca="19601" land="United States"/>

Replace 19601 with whatever your ZIP code is.

(Gawd, I promised myself I wouldn't start spoon-feeding people this stuff...)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] masta7100:
Thanks, I did that and it worked! I get my location stuff now. Thats sweet! I read the first post over again and was able to get it working. Thanks for the help. Other than that, does it matter if you use the 6tab or 3 tab?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
The only real difference is the syntax for the XML file, and it's fairly evident which you're using when you edit the XML file. Also, some versions put the XML file in \HTCHome. That's about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bono2007:
Oups "meteo" = "weather" ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
A Tilt is a Kaiser, isn't it?

See Post #402.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
thats what i did. the issue must just be the way im entering in the xml. no matter what i do it doesnt do my city.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Tried soft-resetting after you've done it?

Does the XML copy back in okay? Can you show me the XML line you are using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
copies just fine. havent tried a soft reset. here are all of the lines ive tried and didnt work. which should i use and the soft reset?

<city name="Whitehall, US" loca="NAM|US|PA|WHITEHALL " land="United States "/>

<city name="Whitehall, US" loca="18052 " land="United States "/>

<city name="Whitehall, PA, US" loca="NAM|US|PA|WHITEHALL " land="United States "/>

and do i enable the today plug in before the reset?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Right. It's not going to be the first one at all, that's for the Touch plugin. The second or third one should work okay in theory, although I'd recommend using the second line for accuracy.

However, you need to remove that space after the ZIP code / location code, or it's definitely not going to work.

The reason I suggest the soft reset is because it makes sure the home plugin definitely reloads it's data.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KwietStorm:
Is this made to work with the T-Mobile proxy? Just want to make sure
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If you used the patched plugin, and it's set up properly via the network panel, there's no reason why it shouldn't. I can't personally test it though, obviously.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KwietStorm:
Damn that was quick. Ok I'll try it out. My HTC Home plugin is written into the rom, so I just have to install the patched cab directly on the phone with no problem, right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Pretty much! What's the device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
still not working. will load any other city in there. but not the one im adding. since it does load the other preloaded cities, its safe to say i install everything right. right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hrm. Is there another _HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml (with an underscore at the front), and are you copying the XML file to \WINDOWS? It sounds like it's not actually getting there, as if there was a problem with the XML itself, it'd just reject the whole file, and you'd get no cities at all.

I take it you did just copy the DLL file in?

Incidentally, have you tried a S/R yet?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KwietStorm:
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with the touch it rom flashed on

Can you attach your XML file? And did the underscored version exist?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, depends if you want 3 or 6 configurable tabs. I'd go for the 6 tab one if I were you, it's the most versatile.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
i did not see an underscored version.

xml is attatched
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Nothing wrong with that at XML at all. All I can think of is that something's not being overwritten, or the DLL hasn't taken. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
ok. so what do you suggest?

i dont mind doing a hard reset. from there what is the exact order to execute everything?

correct?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
No no no! Do NOT install that plugin! If you installed that plugin, there is your issue right there...

You said you were on a Kaiser/Tilt, correct? If so, you already have the plugin in ROM. The only thing you need to do is follow the instructions from post 402.

If you have the other home plugin installed, you need to *uninstall* it before executing the steps in post #402. Either that, or if you wish to install the whole package, use the 6tab cab in post #1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:

i like the color 6 tab i had. i thought i installed that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
the ATT ROM does not have the plug in. i have to install it. which cab do i install to get the 6 tab color on the ATT ROM Tilt?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Ahhhhh - it may not be in the flavour of ROM you have. I thought that it was on by default in the Kaiser, but it may not be with the specific operator ROMs you have.

I've not actually done a version of mine that has the colour icons - but you can manually replace the DLL file in \WINDOWS with the one I've attached to this post.

The reason your XML file isn't taking is the fact it should be in \HTCHome, not \WINDOWS. I assumed you were using the built-in Kaiser home DLL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
ok. well ive hard reset. what is the correct way to go now to get the 6 tab color working. and the weather working as well?
