Unfortunately, I can't set my weather location even with your program...

I live in Chisinau, Moldova. In your version of Weather File it is called KISHINEV. And it don't work. I found my city here:

http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&locCode=EUR|MD|MD000|CHISINAU

I tried to copy that code but it just don't work. When I try to access my city via your site like this:

http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=EUR|MD|MD000|CHISINAU

It gives me a message

Unable to locate country data! Reported city: "Chisinau", reported state: " Moldova"

That is so bad :( Hope there is a solution.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That's a bug on the server script. I'll find out what's going on.

Edit: Fixed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Donbegles:
Thanks works great. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] squa11:
Thank you very very much :)

Works brilliantly!

All im getting is "Unable to retrieve data for selected city."

im using a vario 2 with wm5

i`ve tried connecting to htc.accuweather.com

but with that get

"The page cannot be found "

any one know what else i can do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, if you can't connect to accuweather, you've not got much chance of connecting to anywhere else! Can you connect to not2advanced.com via pocket IE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bongloid:
yeah connects to not2advanced.com fine
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
What's your provider? Does it work over activesync or wifi?

It's probably the known WM5 glitch.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bongloid:
same as you , T mobile

Im thinking of upgrading to wm6 soon anyway just need to do the homework first so i dont mess things ups.

I've been very reluctant to use any methods that require using someone's personal server so I have been searching all over for a better method. If the owner needs to make changes it could take down your weather for a while... So I've been looking I have finally found it! Its been successful for every town/city I've added. Here is the link to the process:

http://www.htc-touch-info.com/en/weather/

Have fun and enjoy your local weather! Thanks to the owner of the server though!! Great fix! Thanks for your help along the way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Er... that uses my server. *groans* Also, for the record, that method won't work for too much longer, as the IP will be changing. I did have those exact same instructions on the first post in the first place, but removed them as the method is unreliable.

I also note how I don't get any credit on that site for what I did... *mutters*

If you really want to use your own server though, you're welcome to - the code is there on page #1 if someone wants to set their own up. I've always said that from day one.

HTC Weather Plugin for HTC TyTN?

Hello there,

can you tell me a download location to get the HTC Weather Plugin for my HTC TyTN?

There are so many links in this post...:eek:

many thanks,

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edsub:
How about post#1.

Choose the appropiate version: WM5 or WM6 (you dont have a Kaiser or Touch/Elf so that makes choosing pretty easy I guess
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bongloid:
Found this in a google search

"Yes, WM5 does use your computer's internet connection when it is synced via USB "

and tried to and it works

god im such newb

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stroths:
I did a search on the newer HTCHome.dll files you have posted in the OEMs to see where you patched the weather location. Using Hex Workshop and XVI32, I was unable to find the string you mentioned (below). I did the same search in some of the htchome.dll's you have posted throughout this thread and I could locate it in them. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It's not as obvious as you'd think - it's because I used UPX to pack the DLL file before I packaged it up. If you download UPX and decompress it before trying to hexedit, you'll be able to find the string. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] furrypotato:
Ok before I try this one I best double check which version to use....

I'm using a Touch with the Touch Dual ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340633)

Sorry to be a dunce......

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
As it's got the 6-tab HTC Home plugin built-in, try using the KaiserHTCHomeDLL.CAB and seeing if that works - I'll be interested to see if it does work straight off!

Let me know how it works for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] furrypotato:
No Luck. When I tried it the space where my Home should have been was blank.

So I uninstalled it.

Then i tried the Schen version which installed the Schen folder and files but I didnt like the Music Tab as it launches Mobile Windows Media Player instead of the HTC music software.

So I uninstalled it without checking the weather settings.

So now back to original Home and when i go to select the City for weather, it's blank. I've checked the .xml file and it's still there in Windows directory ok.

Any idea what I've done to blank this ?

In the meantime I've downloaded teh Hex editor and made teh changes to my original HTCHome.dll file so if I can only work out how to get it to read my .xml file with teh city codes in it I should be sorted .

EDIT: WORKING !!

Seems that my cities xml file was corrupt in some way. I I got hold of a fresh one from your OEM package and then edited it carefully in notepad on my pc.

and together with the htchome.dll that I changed with hexeditor and then signed with your signing batch file it all works at last !!

Thanks for all your work on this, it's so much better to get my local forcast ( I live 1300 feet higher than the original nearest city )

Dylan
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Nice work! By the way, you know it's possible to set the music tab to use the HTC audio manager?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] furrypotato:
It would have been simpler, wouldn't it :-)

But at least this way I have the satisfaction of having done it myself and I now know how to do it again in the future if needed.

Keep up the good work.

I’ve got a Trinity with cooked ROM on it, this one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=335321

I tried to use your files to make the fix work but, not unexpected, it didn’t

So I decided to hexedit the HTCHome.dll from the above ROM, signed it and succeeded.

So thanks for your labour :D

But there is still one issue. My GPRS/3G connection normally runs trough a (Orange) proxy. Connecting to your site without proxy works a treat but connecting to your site through this proxy won’t work.

Any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Only suggestion I'm afraid is to try disabling the proxy on your internet connection? (Is it actually required?)

I've no idea why it wouldn't work through the proxy though, which is weird. Can you access weather.not2advanced.com from your Pocket IE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4tune:
There’s one disadvantage in disabling the Proxy: it costs money :p

If I connect to weather.not2advanced.com through IE I get a ‘forbidden’ message.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Re disabling the proxy: That sucks! :(

Re the IE message, that's actually "normal", as I never got around to putting a page up - I've now put a basic one up saying "you have successfully connected".

Try accessing this page in Pocket IE with the proxy enabled - see if you get the XML feed, or some sort of error. If you get the feed, it *should* be working on the HTC Home plugin (and have no idea why it wouldn't!)...

I suppose this is somewhat acedemic, as I've no real solution either way, but at least we'll know where the issue is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4tune:
Yes, I can see the feed in pocket IE. That’s not the problem.

My guess is the proxy from Orange is set up to recognize the app that is requesting information and some apps are blocked. I don’t now how because HTCHome uses port 80 but I now of some other apps using port 80 that won’t work over the proxy.

There’s noting more you can do I’m afraid, but many thanks for the afford.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] combuse:
Is it true, that ...

HTC Weather uses a smaller database from accuweather.com and so its possible that you can not have the weather information of your city on your PDA? I've red somewhere that a test to verify if the city is in the HTC Weather database or not can be done by the following link (of corse by replacing ... with the individual city code):

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=...

Now, the code of my city is "EUR|IT|IT017|BOLZANO", but there is an other town more than 50 km away with a similar code: "EUR|IT|IT017|TRENTO". Testing the first, the result is a short XML-File with a copyright and the usage; opening the second code, the result is a complete XML-File with all weather conditions.

Do you know if there is a way to bypass this and get the information of the official accu-website or if there is another solution? :confused:

Thank you very much in advance!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Erm... that's what this thread is all about? My translation server gets the information from the official AccuWeather site, via the ForecastFox feed.

The patched HTC home plugins I offer will work for anywhere on the official AccuWeather database.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jminor4326:
I have a Mogul and I’m having a different problem with my weather. No matter how I load the Cabs, I still am unable to use the Custom city db I make. It seems like no matter what happens, or what db the program is set to use, it still uses the HH_409_weathercities db in the HHCHome directory. I’ve loaded the Kaiser Home modules, I think all of them, I have loaded the HHC 0.8 and 1.0b; I’ve installed them into main and storage memory. I’ve find the Custom db under HHC Home Custom directory in /files/wdb. I’ve read all the procedures on how to load the programs, and unless I’ve missed a step or misinterpreted something, I can’t get this only aspect to work. My question is where should both the Default and Custom db reside, and what should the name be. Or maybe someone has a different suggestion. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Unfortunately, I've no idea how the HHC works, as I've never used it. All I know is that with any of the versions I've done use \HTCHome\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml, with the exception of the OEM / ROM replacement DLLs which use \WINDOWS\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to get their information.

I suggest you ask on the HHC thread, or the person who wrote it. I'm just the humble patcher... *laughs*

Regarding the "launch music player" question. I think this is relevant to this thread because this is a custom cab for the HTC Home plug. Other cabs launch the Audio Manager which is desired.

Anyway, can someone please assist with how to fix this? I love and appreciate the tremendous effort that was made. I just want to avoid Windows "I am bugged" Media player whenever possible.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

Hi,

Nice Effort.

Posting from Australia, its awesome to see this in action. I live in a area outside the Capital City of my State, that is about 40 mins drive away, that gets MUCH hotter and MUCH colder at night so it was fantastic to find your thread.

Suffice to say i simply editted my XML file after finding my code,

<city name="Ipswich, AU" loca="OCN|AU|QLD|IPSWICH" land="Australia"/>

and installed the KAISER PATCHED DLL cab.

I dont have a kaiser, but i guess its a close enough cousin.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Thanks for the heads up, I'll patch it now.

Hi,

For a SPV M650 (like P3300 or Artemis) with already a HTC Hompe plug in,

Is it assimilate to Kaiser or Touch?

I mean do I have to install the TouchHTCHomeDLL.CAB or the KaiserHTCHomeDLL.CAB ?

Kind regards,

Cyril
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If you've already got one built-in to your ROM, you can try one of the overlay DLL files - the Touch one for the 3-tab, and the Kaiser one for the 5/6 tab - but it's not guaranteed to 100% work. Still, give it a shot, and see if it does! Make sure you choose the corresponding one to the one that's already in the ROM.

hi followed the instuctions for the weather fix used resco explorer to encrypt the xml file then copied it back to windows over the top of the existing xml. enabled the htc plugins etc... did a soft reset ... then bingo no cities at all to choose from yikes. please help.:confused:

Hi N2A. I have a HTC Touch flashed with swiftblade's ROM. I installed your patch but it made the HTC Home revert to its original format (3-buttons). I like the HTC Home in swiftblade's ROM better. Is there a way to patch the weather without changing the HTC Home? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If it's the 5 or 6 tab version, try installing the Kaiser DLL into the ROM (after removing the earlier patch).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boybi:
Would the Kaiser DLL change the cool icons in the 6-button HTC Home of Swiftblade's ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
By the way, to anyone still reading, I'll patch the latest version when I get a mo.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
No. The whole point is that it's the DLL only - there's no graphics or anything else, just a patched DLL that overlays the original.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boybi:
Ok, I installed the Kaiser DLL, soft reset the phone, and then the HTC Home went blank. Uninstalled the Kaiser DLL, soft reset, and the HTC Home was there again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Did you uninstall the Touch overlay first?

It's highly possible that it won't work with the version you have in ROM. Link me to the ROM you're using, and I'll take a look.

I'm looking forward to when I create my universal local translator, it'll solve all these issues, but it's finding time to do it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boybi:
Here's the link to the ROM that I'm using:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=339935

What's Touch overlay?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That'd be the TouchHTCHomeDLL.CAB file, if you installed that first.

Tell you what - uninstall any new HTC Home cabs you've installed, so you have the basic ROM one, then send me a copy of your \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll file (by attaching on a post below), and I'll patch in the weather server for you. Can't say fairer than that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boybi:
Gee, a personalized service :D Thanks!

HTCHome.dll attached. Just change the .zip to .dll. I can't attach dll files.

Thanks again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Okay, here you go, done. Try the UPX compressed one first, it'll be quicker, but if it doesn't work, try the other.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boybi:
That was great! It worked! Thanks a lot N2A!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gmorar:
Hi N2A, are these fixes for anyone using the swiftblade's Rom mentioned? I´m planning to flash my Touch with the same Rom but don't want to loose your weather fix, it's just great.

How to re-sign modified HTCHome.dll?

I have Wizard with NBD 9.0 ROM with HTC Home plugin (6 buttons). I tried single dll install (patch DLL). Touch changed 6 button to 3, apart of that weather works ok, kaiser did not work. So I hexedited HTCHome.dll and made changes as suggested in post. The question is how to re-sign modified HTCHome.dll?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Well, I was going to say, try removing the Touch one, and try the cabs at the top of this page (Post #701). Failing that, I attached the signcode tools on post #421, which you can use to sign your own DLL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Cabs updated for latest Schen release. I'll sort out the OEM versions later, my brain is jelly at the moment.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] OzDruiD:
Your a trooper. Thx mate. You know, not 1 hr before hand i started to have a go myself, getting UPX, SignCode etc. I was about to load it and give my version ago and there yours was.. nice. Very nice. Now to fix up the colour icons etc on Home :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pmuschi:
I noticed a considerable size difference between the Kaiser HTCHome.dll N2A has provided, and the OEM one my phone shipped with. I don't know what the differences might be, but I modifed my larger dll with N2A's URL. I attempted to sign it, but the bat file said it was already signed and only need the timestamp changed.

If anyone else is interested, here's my modified HTCHome.dll that came with my Kasier/TyTN II (UK model).

And many thanks to N2A for sharing this with everyone, and answering the same questions over and over. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It's compressed with UPX, to speed up loading time and minimise space used. That's about it.

T-mobile with proxy

As anyone got it to work on T-Mobile with proxy?

EDIT

It seems that when going through the T-Mobile proxy (or is it GPRS/EDGE), the registry "hosts" settings are ignored.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That'd be why I suggest using the patched CABs then.

Still no idea if it works via the proxy though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] francoisp:
I have installed the Kaiser DLL and I can pull weather from the WIFI connection but not the GPRS/proxy set up that is required to access the Internet on the low-end T-Mobile access plan. With the GPRS/proxy setup, when I enter htc.accuweather.com in the browser, I get connected to the accuweather wap server. It appears that the hosts settings on the pda are ignored. (I changed the IP address of htc.accuweather.com to point to your server for this test. The same test on WIFI sends me to your error page.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
The htc.accuweather.com test no longer functions properly, as I've removed IP access. I don't know exactly why it doesn't work via the t-mob proxy yet, but I'm working on it - it could be the XML delivery format. Unfortunately, as I've not got direct access to a t-mob data connection, I can't really diagnose it either.

Still, I *am* working on something - hopefully I'll get it sorted within the next few weeks, but I've been absolutely choca - to do with local rerouting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samcham:
Sorry if you've already answered this already, but...

Some months ago, I downloaded one of your earlier versions of HTC Home, and it worked great. Now I'm using the following version of HTC Home: Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color.Theme.cab, along with Emunutz's HTC Home Customizer, ver. 0.8a. It's been working fine until today, and now it won't update. (In fact, it burned through my battery power trying to continually update the weather data.)

Is the server issue you discussed above causing the updating problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dwr508:
I started having the same problem this morning. If I uninstall the home customizer and add my city to the xml file it will update fine but when I install the v1.0 (didn't work with 0.8b either) it will customize the plugin but when I add my city to the custom city database it won't update.

If I'm totally missing something in this thread I apologize, but can someone shed any light on the solution?

TIA

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smittyofdhs:
Add another one to the list of "not working".

N2A, is there any issues that would be causing this? Is the server up? Is this related to the t-mobile changes mentioned above?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Negative, anyone who used the HHC's method of switching to using my server will no longer have access, due to the direct IP (Pocket Hosts type) method being deactivated.

You can either use my existing cabs, or wait a few days when I'll be releasing overlay cabs which you can install on top of your existing HTC Home installs.
