NEW! Universal Patch Kit and Package Creator

caused hard reset on my device. moders, please kill this useless thread
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hey, nobody said this came with any warranties :P

To be honest, I wrote this a long time ago. The code still works server side, I haven't verified it with any new releases. To be honest, I retired my HTC TyTN, and moved up to a Nokia N900. If anyone wants to take over maintaining it, they're welcome to.

The thread isn't useless though, seems it works for a lot of people still.

All I can suggest is take the htchome.dll from your own device, patch it (if my patcher will work), and reinstall it - that shouldn't cause any hard resets, but I can't guarantee it won't, either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] brunoisa10:
it is just a patch about the link for weather , impossible to cause hard reset , it is only used in updating the weather, or seeems you have another htchome.dll to patch like N2A said (because N2A's dll is very old now)

this thread is very usefull , I can confirm :)

so probably need to patch another dll , just replace the link provided by HTC with the link provided by N2A :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] obaz:
Understand me correct - the cabfiles and patcher you provide on your sit make only hard reset. but I`v downloaded another N2A patched kaiser home.dll - and it works. So - anyway, I thank you for your work - but patcher and dll replacement on your site do not working correct.

BTW - I do not lose any data - I`ve always do backup before experiments :)

brunoisa10

tell me more. If you enabling Home - device hang. then reboot. than again hang. than again reboot. no - it do not HR device, it force user to do it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] brunoisa10:
lol pay attention to old things when you install old cabs

what I mean is the change is not doing hard reset , it is only the bad dll which was hanging your system
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Stingray88:
Uhhhh...

I did everything just as the instructions said and now my phone crashes after booting...

What am I supposed to do now?!

I can't connect to it in order to replace the dll file that is causing the crash... because it won't stay on.

EDIT: Sigh... hard reset looks like the only option. Atleast I have a decent backup.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] y0himba:
It seems that not2advanced.com has been down now for over 12 hours. weather.not2advanced.com is not working and I am unable to update the weather on my phone. I would prefer not to uninstall the patch, so if anyone knows how I can run whatever was running over there on my own server (PHP or whatever) then point my phone to my server, I would greatly appreciate it.

I will also allow others to draw of my server(s) which almost never go down.

This has been posted as a fix in manilla.http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1609032&postcount=1011

Anybody have any idea about the old 6 tab htc home??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] x51:
I did not install this... but I think it came with my EnergyRom.

To fix my weather I did this:,

Rename the following reg key:

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla\Weather.ServerURLOverride

The value should be http://weather.not2advanced.com/htc.....

Renaming this key will set the server to the default.

If you prefer Not2Advanced servers.. just restore the old key name and reset to test and to see if it's working again.

I'll try setting it back again tomorrow.

I renamed mine to Weather.ServerURLOverride.x51 for now.

DONT FORGET TO SOFT RESET.

Please post if this does not work for you.

N900 is where im going come pay day :)

wandered through this thread after the weather just decided to stop working on my touch pro - i reckon t-mobile uk is blocking it or something though cos it no longer works on any rom ive flashed (bout 5 different ones now) - but going to the n2a server url in the browser resuts in the desired xml, so maybe its some network config cockup on the device (straight after fresh flashes though? maybe its due to bad t-mobile auto-conf data?) - who knows, im fed up with it now :(

anyone else had a similar problem?

cheers

Is there any site with with running weathertranslate.php? Because this is only way for my S740. Or not?

I uploaded this file to my site at and it works from browser, but I don't know a way how to access, resp. how to redirect htc . accuweather . com directly to this address. (I have to use name, not IP). Is it possible?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnnyvb78:
I send a email to HTC but that didnt help there tip. but i got it working again.

This is how i did it, go to settings-> open the tab where you can set bluetooth and WLAN there i open connection, dont know it in english becouse i have it in dutch. you can change setting for your roaming provider -> open here menu -> database update -> there i take manual database update, i did several times.

After that it worked angain finaly after 2 months of no weather. sorry for my bad englis becouse it is not my native language. if you dont understand leave post and i try to help. don't know if this helps for everybody.

Weather only updates on Wi-Fi

Until yesterday morning my weather worked perfectly on 3G H, GPRS, EDGE, and Wi-Fi. Now it will only update on Wi-Fi. I know the server and URL are working since it updates at all. Is it possible the server is blocking connections from the AT&T APN or AT&T is blocking access to the server? If I type the server address in a browser it connects though and points to this thread. I have made no registry changes. I have NetCF 3.5 and SDK Certs installed. The only browsers I use are PIE and Opera.

Cell Pro ROM WWE 5.5.51881 1-20-10

Thanks,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hbuetow:
Hi. I have the HTC Touch Po 2 CDMA thhrough US Cellular. Weather App would only work through wi-fi not phone data service (GPRS ?) Tried many of the fixes, virtually all the ROMs from stock to custom. Nothing worked. Many of the various fixes seemed to "mess" up my phone causing me to do a hard reset. Enabled and disable HTC location. Too many changes to list. Gave up. However, used the phone for a couple of days with google maps and bing navigation programs. All of a weather app started working on it's own. Navigation programs seem to have done something that the various fixes couldn't. Suggestion I have is to use the phone with navigation software for a couple of days. US Cellular said this was an issue with the Touch Pro 2. And they may have a fix in a couple of months. Maybe it will also work. Not saying this is an educated suggestion. Just describing what happened with me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tvman:
I've got wrong weather informations of my city - Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Displayed weather information is another town SHENZHENZHEN, Zhejiang, China. Weather city code is totaly diffrent: Shenzhen (my city) is ASI|CN|CH006|SHENZHEN; but Shenzhenzhen is ASI|CN|CH013|SHENZHENZHEN. But the xda weather server maybe use wrong place weather source, I mean use Shenzhenzhen (someone not type word ZHEN wich means Town) to relace Shenzhen City. I edited my manila weather city code on my HTC HD2 many times, but no effect.

So I have no idea how to resolve this problem. Thanks.

Server termination

Just to let you all know, I'm going to be shutting down this server shortly I'm afraid, as I'm wrapping up the hosting business associated with it, and moving everything over to an alternate system.

I hope it's been of use to you all over the years, and it was fun while it lasted. The code is on several other people's servers now I believe, so it'll live on, as long as the forecastfox/accuweather feed continues to work in the same way.

May see you guys around again if I ever return to a HTC or Android device... but for now, I'm holding off until I figure out what device I want. Since the N900, nothing else has really wowed me - with the possibly exception of the N9, but I'm not hugely hopeful for it as Nokia seem determined to kill it.

Anyway, I digress.

So long, and thanks for all the fish! ;-)

It Works 1ST Time Out!!!

You've done what others have been trying for months! Kudos to YOU!

Very simple and straight forward instructions, simple to do.... God I hope others find your thread!!!

Can't wait for the .cab!!!

Many thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I've created the cabs, just testing them before publishing them. Looks good so far! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
If you need help with cab creating ask!

There are many ways.

-WinCE Cab Manager

-makecab.exe for xml

A cab for the REPLACING HTCHome.dll Method would be great. A cab which does everything automaticly. Only disable/enable HTC Home Plug to do. Voila. This would be great for ROM Cooks to add into their ROMs! *bling*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I've got GUI package builders now, but I used cabwiz in the end. All sorted, just testing the last cab now :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Cab files are up and fully tested! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
Hi, tested the 6-tab-Plug-in cab. Working perfectly with my custom HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml !

N2A, can you update the first posting like this:

Step by step guide - CABINET INSTALL - WILL WORK ON PROXIED CONNECTIONS! (Recommended for most users)

1. If you haven't already got it on your phone, copy the SdkCerts.cab file to your device, and run directly on the device.

2. Uninstall existing HTC Home plugins (if possible, if not because added in ROM no need to uninstall)

3. Download and install an appropriate patched home plugin cab from the attachments below. (3, 5 or 6 tab)

4. If you haven't already, enter your local code into \WINDOWS\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml (or corresponding localized file, download HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml here, update and repost). It will also accept ZIP codes, as well as the EUR|UK|UK001|MANCHESTER type format. (See guide below)

5. Re-enable the HTC Home plugin from Settings -> Today -> Items.

Choose your local area by going to the weather tab, and clicking on the bar below "Weather".

6. Choose your local town/city from the list which you inputted, and press the left softkey for Select.

7.Enjoy!

Can you add this HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to your first posting. This is a big one. This one can be used to be always updated by users alphabetically and you'll replace it in first posting.

I think many people will need to change to custom Home-Tab icons. The grey ones aren't very beautiful. Can you add Custom-icon-Links for 5&6-Tab Home-Plug-Ins on first posting please?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I'll add the suggested part to the installation instructions. However, I've got something else up my sleeve regarding the XML files - watch this space ;)

If someone wants to gather the links to colourful icons, they're welcome to, and I'll add links.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] damoisture:
Not to ruin everyone's fun with using Resco or Total Commander ;) , but all I did to edit the xml file was copy it to my Windows desktop and edited it there. It makes it a lot easier and faster to create a totally custom .xml file with all the cities you want. Works great for me, love the build. Not using a source city over 200km away is great. Keep up the good work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bobbyelliott:
That's what I did too. And it's a breeze to restore your settings if you have to rebuild your device for any reason (just copy the XML file over to the device again).

Finding the correct codes for various cities is still a pain in the ass though. :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LeeCHeSSS:
N2A, You're a godsend :)

I'm installing it now, and hopefully it'll work flawlessly :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If you're using a Touch, you might well just want to copy the DLL file, rather than install the whole kaboodle.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WMguy:
HTCHome.dll from the zip?

I used the HTC cab file. Is there any reason I should redo it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, just to save space really - you can uninstall the cab, recover the space, and just copy the htchome.dll to your \WINDOWS directory, as the rest of the files it needs are already in the ROM.

You don't have to of course, it was just a helpful hint :)

Of course, if you're using the 5/6 button plugin, this is a moot point...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] halder:
waaawooo

i never thought that some day it will work for me.but it does work perfectly

i add my city DUHOK to the list and in the blink of eye it download my weather cast.

i try it on 3 buttom

but i really like 5\6 buttom does it work there too let see?

thank u n2a.

by the way it does work untill i install the host ip .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emunutz:
N2A,

Thank you for all the work you've put into this. Local weather works like a charm. I've working on an installer/customizer around schen's 5-tab installer for the past few days and included your patched version with the latest release. My newest version includes options to add cities to a custom database and quickly (quicker than manually) switch between the default and custom. Hopefully this compliments your efforts and makes it easy for everyone to use. Check it out here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, what I'm working on at the moment is a complete XML generation system, to create the HH_0409_weathercities.xml file from scratch including either the base from the touch or kaiser, or completely blank. It also allows you to add your countries directly via a quick search, and/or download all known cities, and/or all known cities within a certain country if available. I've been working steadily away on it for the last few days. Again, a web-based utility, using a database backend. Should compliment your setup though, as your kit will back up the newly created XML file. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You don't the hosts alterations anymore. Just use the cabfiles I provided on the front page - there's 3-tab and 5/6 tab versions there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emunutz:
We can think of mine as a "temp solution" until you get yours finished. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WMguy:
I will probably do that. Thanks.

Please bare with the noob, and a little off topic but, it there a way I can use the 5 or 6 plugin on my Touch. I searched and stumbled on the Kaiser stuff but wasn't sure...If there is, can someone redirect me. Thanks:o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I've honestly got no idea. It *may* work, but it may also screw things up. All I can say is "try it and see!" If push comes to shove, you can always uninstall it again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] WMguy:
I tried to copy the dll to windows. It wouldn't allow me. I tried copying to my documents to use Resco and I can never find the file. It's always invisible. I tried renaming too. Any advice for copying HTCHome.dll to \windows?

EDIT: I can see the file via activestinc but not on phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Have you tried finding it in \WINDOWS via Total Commander? Make sure "Hide files in ROM" isn't ticked, on the Show menu. You should be able to access the properties of the file there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Vertig0:
I don't know much about this... But I just followed these steps and is working fine!! only thing I added was <city name="East Islip, US" loca="11730" land="United States"/>

I have tried the first, but it's not work for me :(

I've installed SdkCerts.cab, closed HTC Home, replaced the HTCHome.dll, by that in the schen_6 button directory of the ZIP, open HTC Home, and I have'nt HTC Home in my today

I've do a SR, and it's the same thing

Is it also necessary to install “HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin_N2A_WeatherPatched.cab” or “HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab”?

I have tried to use HTC Home.dll in the Touch_PatcheHTCHome directory of the ZIP, and like that it's good, but only with 3 TAB :(

Thanks for your assistance

Excuse my poor english ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Try replacing the DLL from the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen folder. Alternatively, just try installing the cab. However, this has only been tested at present with the WWE ROMs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ch@rly:
If I installe HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen, and It don't work, can I go back ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Stinky9:
I switched off the home plugin and installed the cabinet file sdkCerts.cab of the 1st method. Next I added my city to the xml file. Then I did a soft reset and switched on the home plugin. Searched my city in the weather menu and it worked.

I did not install any of the patched home plugins. (I did not do step 3 of the 1st method.) I used the home plugin in Schaps ROM instead.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Yes, just delete the HTCHome.dll and soft reset.

Try Stinky9's method above.

It works for me with the Rom Schap's French, but it's necessary to install HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab

After, any problem for ecery town in the world :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Try installing the cab file first. It's probably to do with using a non-WWE version - I haven't tested any of these.

Of course, if someone wants to point me to the non-WWE versions of the plugins, I'll happily patch those too.

hi

I didn't read through the replies, but there is one problem. When you play a song using the player on the htc kaiser home that songs stays there and never changes and you can't use the play forward or backward buttons. Is there a fix for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That'd be in Settings, which you can get to via tapping on the city, going to Menu, and choosing Weather Options.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
No idea, that's not my department - I'm a scripter and desktop programmer, not a hardcore hacker. You're better off asking in one of the relevant threads where these were released. I just hacked it to run via my server.
