I followed P1Tater's directions but it did not work at first (of course it was my fault). I had tried unsuccessfully to add the city in HTC home customizer (following another thread) and all it would say is unable to retrieve. I had to hard reset and followed P1's directions to the letter and it worked. I then flashed to another ROM and tried using UC to auto install my cabs and when I went to add my custom city it did not work again. Becoming frustrated at the thought of having to HR and install all my cabs manually after all the work to get the SDconfig.txt right I tried a hailmary. I reinstalled the HTCHomeDLL.CAB and it worked. My thought is that if you enter the city after the HTCHome.dll is on your device that it will not work. But if you add the .dll after you enter the city it's all good. So now I just had to edit my Sdconfig.txt and take out the HTCHomeDLL.CAB and install that cab after I add my cities in HTC Home Customizer. Thanks P1Tater, you da man. Also there is a new home customizer found here : HTC Home Customizer v1.0 Final is out
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I used P1taters instructions with the new home customizer final. After installing the DLL cab the weather worked great, BUT now I can't customize the home screen anymore. It's stuck the way Dutty had it set in his rom. So I talked with Tater and he suggested going back to the non final home customizer, which I did and it still doesn't work. I've uninstalled everything, (home screen wise. plug in etc etc)reinstalled the older non final without the DLL (which seems to not uninstall) and still can't get it to customize the home screen. I'm about to reflash. Any ideas on whats wrong?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] knytphal:
Not sure what to tell you on that. I have Dutty's April 1 ROM installed, then installed HTC Home Customizer final and was not able to set a custom city. Then I installed the DLL cab file from page 4, reset when prompted to and was able to get weather. I also just checked to see if I can customize the Home plugin (changed the iconset) and was able to - so I'm not positive on what's happened in your case.

I've tried every variation to get College Station, TX USA weather. I edited the file, tried College-Station (as in the Accuweatehr site), College Station. Tried 77840 zip as well. Nada.

Tried nearby town Bryan, TX as well. No dice.

Thanks this program is great
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greeek:
I used to have all of this set up, but had to do a hard reset the other day.

I have everything set up how I like it again, and I have no need for HHC this time as I dont want to make any significant changes to the plugin.

I still have a copy of my weather file that used to work, and I have successfully got it in the windows dirictory using resco.

It still doesn't work, which I expected (My city is displayed, but cant update weather), but all I want to know is if I install the dll file without installing HHC, will it work?

I know I could just try it, but I just thought I'd ask first as I am trying to keep my new setup ass clean as possible, so I don't want to if someone already knows the answer.

Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greeek:
No matter, I decided to make a slight change to my HTC home, so I just installed the HHC 1.0 and the dll cab, all updating perfectly... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] little_rock:
P1tater, guys,

what specifically does the dll do?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] little_rock:
well regardless of what it does - it fixed the problem - I adjusted the xml and couldn't figga out why this wasn't enough - the dll is the key!

Cheers guys nice work.

For some insane reason, P1taters instructions only worked with the CAB install of the .dll. Nevertheless, it worked flawlessly after using the install CAB. I have glorious weather in my po-dunk south Georgia town. I have been through hell for the last six months trying to get this to work.

Thanks a million.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snowtiger:
Finally got it working, after HHC killed my device, so I had to do a hard reset. That's why I don't like HHC any more. So here is how I did it:

1. Deactivate HTC Home plugin

2. Copy HTCHOME.DLL into your windows folder

3. Power down - power on

4. Manipulate HH_040X_WeatherCities.xml as described earlier

5. Activate HTC Home plugin

6. Choose your desired city

7. BE HAPPY!

Tested with bepe's 0.67 Premium Edition (WM 6.1 Prof)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SpiritOne:
This worked really well, thanks a bunch for the initial posts. I was unable to edit the file on the device itself, so I just hot synched and copied the file onto my computer. Did the editing from there, and pasted over the original file back onto the phone. All my new cities were visible (i added 5 that I normally am in).

Also, it is worth mentioning if you do it this way, you have to edit your folder options on your PC to show hidden folders, because when you browse to the device "windows" is considered a hidden file.

<city name="Tyler, TX" loca="NAM|US|TX|75703 " land="United States"/>

<city name="Longview, TX" loca="NAM|US|TX|75601" land="United States"/>

2 of the 5 I added, just to show context and how to edit them.

This seemed to work for me (from post #48)

I am using WM 6.1 on an AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925 or Kaiser) with the latest Home Customizer that I could find last night. Everything seems to work perfectly so far which I am really happy about since I've tried just about every option I could find.... Anyway give this a try... and hats off to P1Tater for posting this!!! :)

You can find the necessary files on post #48 (I only needed the HTCHome_dll.ZIP file). I used my phone to create a copy of the .dll in case something didn't work right and then copied the new .dll from my computer to the phone. After that I turned off and turned on the phone (per the instructions) and like magic my custom city is refreshing and available on the weather tab.

Good luck to everyone!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] martythebrit:
You don't need to go to accuweather.com. If you look at the XML file it's real easy to create your own location, by copying and pasting an exsisting entry and then modifying it for your own city.

Resco explorer will write the file so long as your rom is writable.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thivi:
It worked for me, thank you thimiost !

I have a Touch Cruise with M-Amine 2.0 ROM, and I've changed 2 files in the \Windows folder :

HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml

HH_040C_WeatherCities.xml

with the line

<city name="Nancy, FR" loca="EUR|FR|FR015|NANCY" land="FRANCE"/>

I've copied both files to my PC, uncheck the read-only mark, make changes there, re-check the read-only mark and then copy them back to the \Windows Folder of the Cruise, and that works even without a soft-reset...

Many thanks to thimiost as I was searching this trick for some times now !

O.k... I have been reading through this, and I will post my experience for others to read...

There have been several of you that have tried to follow the instructions, but you get a notice that it is not in the data base, or like me, your forcast is 32 degrees for the high, 32 degrees for the low, no sky report, etc...

Well, I added several cities that I travel in. I live in a little town with MAYBE 100 people in it, Watkins Iowa, USA. IT is in the data base... My inlaw's place, Garrison ND, USA is in the database - 1500 people... But my brother's place, Zimmerman MN, USA, is not coming up right.

I go to the US site for AccuWeather.com and it pulls up Zimmerman just fine. I went round and round with the file, Weather ap, restarting, etc... still, nothign worked for Zimmerman... but my other new cities always continued to work just fine.

Well, finally using the link above, I went to the international site... BINGO, Zimmerman isn't in that data base! FOLLOW THE LINK ABOVE, and check your city if you are having trouble getting it to update!!!

But, this raises a question... Can the server that is hosting the custom city lookups go to both the domestic US site, as well as the international site to look for cities? That might help with some of the cities that aren't working...

Couldnt edit or remove read only attribute

Well, I read alot of posts and tried to follow the directions, but using total commander I just couldn't remove the read only or system attributes of the 0409 file! I managed to copy it to clipboard and get it out of the windows folder, but I couldnt see it via activesync as it was a system file.. SO, what i did was i simply added it to a zip file, which became visible to my PC, and i simply extracted it on my desktop, edited it using notepad then stuck it back in!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] runkster:
got mine going

after some experimenting I got mine to work..

I found the location code from the main site would not work, but the one from the mobile site did. I needed to have the zip code included in order for it to display properly. (pertinent information shown below in bold blue letters)

The address from the main site was:

http://www.accuweather.com/us/il/lake-villa/60046/city-weather-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&u=1&traveler=1

The address from the accuweather mobile site shows up as:

http://www.accuweather.com/m/en-US/NAM/US/IL/LAKE VILLA/60046/Current.aspx

As you can see the main site included a dash in the middle of the city name instead of a space. The zip code was listed on both sites and did have to be added to the end of the line inserted into the file HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml (found in windows directory). All the rest of the procedure was the same as listed in previous posts. (copy file to PC>turn off read only>edit>set back to read only>copy back to phone)

So the added line appeared as follows:

<city name="Lake Villa, IL" loca="NAM|US|IL|LAKE VILLA|60046" land="United States"/>

I Hope this helps with other US people who might be having issues, and thanks to the others who supplied the original information that I used to get this to work.

Faces are stretched vertically.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xile6:
Did you hit the full veiw button? Top second icon?

It was said in a review that it effects the pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
It doesn't stretch for me when hitting the full view. Full view doesn't just change the view on the screen, it actually changes the picture size for the camera. I didn't know this until looking in the settings. You can toggle then check your camera settings to see that it changes. Full view is 4032x1960, 18.5:9, 7.9m. Full view turned off is 4032x2268, 16:9, 9.1m. I prefer to take pics with full view turned off. 18.5:9 is an odd aspect ratio size.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vadimo:
I agree, found out today same but it's good option to have ability to switch between two resolutions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
So what is full view good for if it stretches images?

I just took two pictures one in full view it was 4032x1960 and the other was none full view at 4032x3024 .

Was hoping full view was merely the view finder setting. But it ain't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
It doesn't actually stretch the photo. All it's doing is taking a photo at a lower resolution. Same width but shorter height. I suppose if you are taking landscape photos it just saves you the trouble of having to crop it if you want a wide view photo.

But really I don't understand it either, full view is lower quality as well if it even matters. My guess is it's just there so the photos you take will fit the Note8 screen in full. Which is useless for use outside of the Note8. Full view has an odd aspect ratio. I found myself always having to crop the photos when sending them or posting somewhere cause they look funny.

I'm using 16:9 now as I was on my Note 5. But I may just change to 4:3. It's odd that to get the highest quality & resolution you have to shoot in 4:3. My Note 5 had a higher resolution than the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Maybe full view is to show off the note 8 screen ? LOL just my idea .

That's one thing that annoys me also , 4.3 gives you the highest resolution. 16.9 is more mainstream I thought. Wasn't 4.3 ratio the old square television?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Yep, exactly my thought as well. Cause if the photos we took didn't fully fit the screen, you know there will tons of people complaining about it! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
True that !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] javier24:
I'm not talking about the full screen view when taking pictures. My problem is, when I shot, people's faces are stretched vertically. I go to my dex to take a look at the pics on a bigger screen and I can see my pics are actually vertically stretched, so... Any problem with Note camera? With my camera?

Ps. Depending on the angle I'm shoot the pic writing the phone, pictures are taken stretched or not.

I'll try to upload some samples.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Does it only show it like that stretched in Dex?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I think you're onto something.

I would say the OP try transferring a photo to your computer & view in a browser or photo editor. Or post a photo online somewhere or here directly from your phone. See if the pic actually looks stretched as described.
