i downloaded the weather chome slim and my options page does not have the amount of options that yours has. also this is what mine still looks like...the old version...am i dong something wrong? and also my phone doesnt have the update status in the panel it still freaks out and reloads the home screen like the previous version
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
got the new one. thanks org
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Sounds like you have remnants from the old version on your system, still. Do a manual cleanup first.. then reinstall the latest version.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
ok, I cleaned up as best as i could...i redownloaded then reinstalled .....i cnahged my options which has the correct amount of options now...im running hte update now it is currently stuck on 50%....any input?

edit:i rebooted my phone...when it came back on, it said Done!..100% and no weather forecast...i reselected Weather Update..and it is now stuck on 50% again
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Do you have an internet connection that works ? Can you go to www.yahoo.com on your phone in internet explorer ?

p.s. Check first post for new version!
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
anyone else keep getting stuck at 50% updating right now?
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
yes i do and can
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm... don't know what to say then.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
i want to download the new version but i still want to be able to use the icon bar....when i download how do i know if im downloading 1.5b or 1.6? or is there just an addition to the home screen selection? uninstalled..redownloaded, reinstalled...still gets stuck on 50%
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Are you dense ? If there's only ONE download option, what do you think that option could be ? It must be the newest version huh... :rolleyes:

As far as the %50 thing.. try putting in "N" in the "Connect to the internet" option, in "Weather Options".

p.s. the new theme is an OPTION, in case people want to have the weather panel WITH or WITHOUT the color icon bar.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
first off...dense? far from...secondly, some of us dont have the experience with these type of things...thrid...I DIDNT WRITE THE PROGRAM! i ask simple questions....simple answers would be greatly appreciated.

By the way...thanks for the help...Works Great!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] cassiano:
What about version numbering?

Hi OrganicM!

I'm having some of the problems mentioned by others, but i guess it happened to me to redownload and reinstall the same version over, what i guess might have happened to others...

So, what about numbering your next cab files with their version number, like putting 1.xx on the end of the name.

This way i think people will be sure of what version they dled b4 installing over and won't post about errors already corrected. :D

I guess it will contribute to your development of the app.

And keep up the good work, soon your app will reach perfection (or as close as possible it can get to... lol).

Cheers!
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Great Idea but you know what he's doing, everytime he updates/fixes his versions, he uploads the latest cab so you don't run into issues because the latest cab would have fixed everything. I think it's easier that way so he can come to a final conclusion. If you do get errors, bear with it - that way he can work better if you do tell him all the bugs calmly. He is after all the fastest person I've seen when it comes to working on updates.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
what is the LCD modification?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I would recommend Ricky's 14 :) After that... he added on too much stuff and it's not as reliable, IMO.
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
OrganicM You NEVER Lied!

You Are 1000% Correct NRG about Ricky's Version 14 ROM, but after version 14 you are on your on! You said after version 14, the other ROM'S are not as reliable, you are right, plus just about everything works in version 14...!

:D
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Anyone got a better link than Rapidshare to the 14 ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
hmm

or a link for v.14 period. I am not finding any versions with the search that far back? 19-23 etc only

Nevermind Mikey had it...oh on mediafire

[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
http://rapidshare.com/files/105383678/RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v14.zip

But for some reason, the time keeps reseting and not letting me download.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Updated first post... Please redownload :)
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
the new internet connection change worked, although it failed on the first attempt. but what happened to the .png's ? they are now stretched more vertically and don't look right
[HTC Excalibur] jabes0829:
The app works great for me so far! Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I've noticed that also. I'll try to make them look better. They arent exactly squared originally, which is why when we try to fit them in the small, square, 44x44 pixel space on the panel, they get distorted a little bit. I'll work on that....
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
NRG You The Man, This Baby AUTO UPDATES!

NRG you the man, now can you add WEATHER RADAR to you next version, excellent work on the real side, a very good product NRG, but I'm serious about adding the WEATHER RADAR, plus tornado and hurricane warnings also.........?PS just add the whole weather channel.............!:D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will add A LOT more details on the next pages of the plugin. It's coming... slowly.... :)
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
So am I waiting until you fix the pics and upload a new .cab? I flashed Ricky's v14 like you suggested and I'm back to my SlimChome II No Border, BattMeter, and Color Icons. All I'm waiting on is this Weather Panel and how to edit the names in the PhotoDialer.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
editing names in photodialer requires some fancy footwork. oldSAP's application works oj but doesnt edit the registry in both places it needs to ( at least it didnt for me) so i had to manually add the names in the hklm-->software-->microsoft-->chome-->CphotoDialer then page (1-12) and go to the sk2text, text1 and text 2 sections of all of those page folders and edit them one -by-one. then i had to edit all of the .lnk files with total commander to make sure it dialed the right phone number
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
yes, that's how you do it - instead of doing that in the registry let me help you out here.

- First Install OldSapFavourites, more like just copy it to your phone

- Second, Install these registry edits

-Thirs, Open OldSap Favourites and Choose CMyApps or CPhotoDialer and Edit it accordingly

Example: Title Text - My Faves (for every contact so it seems like its My Faves, not Photo Dialer)

Then where it says Call ( I left that) and then where it says Call XXXX (I just took everything off and just put the required name so it looks like -

Call (bigger font)

Abc (smaller font) - that looks pretty clean.

EDIT: now just do that for every contact, I'll upload a screen shot in an hour, I have to go attend a conference call, when i'm back - i'll upload a screen shot

P.S: Sorry OrganicM, i know this is way off-topic but just tryna help - keep up the good work, I'll install your application in an hour as well and let u know if there's any constructive feedback. Good Luck!

anyway here are the files -
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will write an app that does that for you, in a day or two. I will make it easy to use, where it creates the corrects shortcuts and edits both places in the registry for you.
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Too late. Just spent the last half hour doin all manually. Bah. But what's up with the Weather Panel NRG?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Just install it for now... If a new cab comes out, you can just reinstall it. No big deal :)
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Word. Good lookin' out on everything NRG.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
NRG, im currently in the process of editing the .png files for you. i'll pm you when im done with them
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hah.. I'm doing the same thing. lol

I decided I'm going to keep mine at the 1.3 ratio they're at right now. I like the "landscape" feel they have. Don't really want them squared off. I guess if you finish yours also, we'll give people a choice. Square or landscape icons...
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
It's basically the font of the Clock that's in LCD format.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh ok I was wondering the same thing to..
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
awwww damnit! .... i cleaned up the registry, (deleted both CTestUIPlugin keys after uninstalling) then re-installed this app and i got nothing!.... then i installed one of the previous versions and i got the panel back but all i got was a red "X' icon in the panel and it would never update. so i tried installing the new version again and the panel disappeared again!. i have is in the plugins list on both places on the registry so i dont know if i did irreprable damage to my registry by deleting those keys!

can someone with a working weather panel please post their reg keys in both the software and security section of the registry? i only need the CTestUIPlugin key and its contents. I'll do the rest!

it's almost like i'm missing the guid key in the CTestUiPlugin
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh dang that sucks, you might need to reflash maybe and that would suck if you need to do so.
[HTC Excalibur] ameridane:
Hey,

So I have had it working pretty well the last couple of days, but the only thing i've noticed is that this latest one out has a red x in the upper right hand corner, which I haven't had before. also, maybe I'm just blind but I haven't noticed a difference between the layout 1 and layout 2. Thanks for all the good work, and look forward to getting a perfect weather solution for my chome, thanks to you!

Take care!

ps- I'm on Kavana's rom, and also I've noticed that pushing the center button on it while on chome doesn't update it like it used to. odd...
[HTC Excalibur] crazyasslatino:
im really waiting for the slim + lcd i just hate going around differnt threads to find something simple
[HTC Excalibur] cassiano:
@ lukybandit:

Man, we're in the same page, i appreciate a lot his work and fastness, but some of us are in different network environements, that use different content providers and of which some even are behind proxies, what i guess sometimes makes some of us downloading the previous cab version thinking it's the new one an d thus not helping with his development by posting already solved issues.

Ultimately, the version numbering of the cab files itself is to help the development, IMHO

Thats it, maybe now I've put more clearly the reason for numbering the versions.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Keeps getting stuck at 50%, I can go on internet and everything but it keeps stopping at 50%.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
you serious? that sucks.

here you go - hope this helps.

i hope i did it right? :S

EDIT: I just exported the TestUIPlugin entry from security and the chome (from software). Let me know if that is of any help, please. If not, tell me what to do and I'll try my best to help you out.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
You're right and I agree.

Infact, I'm in IT and if i were to come out with a program I def. would put a version number because without version number, how do you know what you're getting. So yes, you're right and he's working on it and if i do talk to him, I'll mention it to him too.

On the other hand, I really do appreciate his work as well.
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Hey Org, just wanted to let you know that when this is done, it gets to 25% and then says "No Internet Connection, Exiting", and then the panel just sits at "Done! 100%". I know your workin hard and I just wanted to let you know what it's doing.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Same here I am receiving the same problem with mine, the previous version seemed to work all fine; however this new version doesnt seem to cooperate.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will look into this guys when I get some time. :) Until then, try playing with the "Connect to internet ?" option in the options panel.. Try both options... Y or N.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Hey organic is it possible to get the older version the 1.3 one please.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
i put N for that option and it worked fine
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I dont keep older versions... Sorry :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh ok dang, cause when ever I try N it seems to fail as well. it says no internet connection... exiting...
[HTC Excalibur] cassiano:
Currently my plugin is working with "connect to GPRS 1st" set to "N", layout set to "2" and "auto update" set to "N".

With other settings on this options it was getting stuck at 50% like other ppl noticed or showing incomplete (no data for tomorrow :()

Oh, its using my PC internet connection thru the USB/Activesync.

Hope helps.

Cheers.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
ok here's the deal. I got it to update, but what i had to do i open a program that uses the internet to open a data connection ( sorry i don't leave my connection on all the time!, as a matter of fact , i have a regtweak that allows me to end the data connection by pressing the red "end" key) I digress, once that connection is open and i have the auto connect set to "N"

it will update. If i have it set to "Y" it will hang while updating.

Here's what's weird though, and i dont know if these two issues correlate with each other. The Weather.png icon in the upper left hand corner of the slide changes from the weather.png icon to the rex "x" icon when i do get the update to work (using auto-connect=no and pre-opening up a gprs connection) so i looked at my registry to see what it was pointing to. I checked the ICONPATHS value and it said this " \Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\iconsback\26.png;\Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\iconsback\26.png " when it should point to the weather.png file. So i changed it back to the weather.png when i went back to my homescreen the weather.png file was back, but when i did the update again, the red "x" icon was back and the registry entries changed back to what i listed above.

Here are screenshots of the before/after and the reg entry after

ok i found where the error might be. it in the weather.mscr file: here's the entry in the .mscr file:

iicon="\Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\iconsback\"&ccode&".png"
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah, it's a known issue (for me at least). I was trying to get a nice background of the weather condition based on the current conditions code. If you'll look back a couple of pages you'll see that I posted a couple of screenshots of what it's supposed to look like. I will remove this for now, as I dont really like how it looks. Look for a new version in a few minutes with all these bugs hopefully fixed!!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
oh ok thanks man... looking forward to the new update and hopefully this 50% bug thing will be fixed :)
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
ok here's my findings,,, from posted above

i figured out both the missing icon and the problems while updating when "Y is selected. both issues are in the weather.mscr file

first:

iicon="\Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\iconsback\"&ccode&".png"...

needs to be: iicon="\Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\icons\"&ccode&".png

that solves the icon issue

second: for the updating issue. you've missed a ")" on one of your lines :

RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\CHome\CTestUIPlugin","Update",0

needs to be: RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\CHome\CTestUIPlugin","Update",0)

if you want my edited file let me know.... or hopefully OrganicM will fix it and put it into his next update
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Nice findings man.
[HTC Excalibur] daleksic:
ALRIGHT, works on Kavana now. Thank...

The only thing is an option to use weather without the music plugin/slider.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I fixed that a couple of version ago actually. I know you're trying to help, but PM me if you find a bug. I'd appreciate it you let me, debug my own application instead of adding confusion. :) Hope I didn't sound too harsh...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Fixed all bugs (again), hopefully! :)

Please download and try.

[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
really?. go back and check your homework, cuz i just re-downloaded it and it aint fixed

let me pm you my modified .mscr file ORG so you can compare
[HTC Excalibur] axv91:
(T.T) i love u very much.... i've been trying to make this work for 240x320 and it drove me crazy.... many many tnx
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Are you sure ?!
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
yes! i'm sure! dude! i wont post stuff like this to confuse people. If you'd prefer that i only PM you for this stuff then that's fine. Im just trying to help!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
On another note... What do you guys think of layout similar to the IPhone's ?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Ok for a standalone app , but not for the homescreen. at least not for me. I dont stare at the weather obsessively enough for it to engulf my homescreen
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Smoooooth man smoooth
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I was thinking of doing just the top part. The current condition icon in the middle of the panel... The city with the hi lo values on the left and the current temp on the right.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
That's neat but are you going to be able to make a screen like that since iphone has a bigger screen etc?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah. That wouldn't be a problem...
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Then that works for me, hey ORganic did you end up fixing that bug regarding that 50% thing?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I believe so.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Whats the icon for the weather panel now? It seems to be missing on my end. When selected its a red X, and unactive its the....4 little boxes i'd say?
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Oh Nice! Didn't know you could do that. Yes, I would def. want to see that. It'd look amazing ! :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It should be the square looking one with the sun in the middle.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Yeah i dont seem to have it, would you mind uploading it?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
If you install the latest cab I uploaded it's included in it. It's called weather.png and it gets installed in \windows.

I'd upload it here but it's too large. :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Having No Luck

Man, I have tried rebooting and uninstalling,reinstalling. I have your newest cab and the LCD version as well. I have tried both and they both hang at the forecast 25% part.

I noticed earlier someone mentioned that maybe remnants of previous cabs were left on the device. I am starting to think so, because I had to uninstall like 3 times before it would let me, AND don't jump the gun, I had to uninstall without just installing over the old one, because the LCD version registers as a separate program in my add/remove programs. So there is obviously some conflicts going on with a complete uninstall

Don't know how or why, but I thought I would bring this to your attention, since you are my leader, and I learn pretty much all of this new stuff from you, you gotta understand until I came here a few months ago, I just wrote xml, that's it. So, for me this is completely new territory and I look to you for guidance and solutions.

Anyway, I hope you can help me, because this program obviously works to some degree or another.

P.S. I am willing to completely cold config boot my phone to test this cab if you think that will help at all. By the way, I fell asleep last night when you were trying to help me sorry if you thought I was just blowing you off.

Take it easy, brother.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
If you can.. go into the registry and delete all the keys under hklm\software\nrg\chomesettings\weather The "Mon" "Tues" "Tomorrow" whatever you can find. Then try to update.
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
it hang at the forecast 25% part. for me to and i get a error saying win i try to update couldn't remove value in hklm\software\nrg\chomeweathersettings

weather\\wed line53(\program files\nrg\chomeweather

weather.mscr): regdelete("hklm", "software\nrg\chomeweather settings\weather\",tomday) and i clear storage my phone
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
You mean the Strings?

Do you mean delete the strings, because I don't have any keys just look at my registry editor, you can see what I mean.

Edit" I tried that too and no luck even after a reboot
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I am getting this now, I installed the newest .cab you have posted.

Title text with nothing being showen.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
check your PM
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well the Iphone layout is halfway done. i will offer it as alternate layout in the options when its done ;)
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
LAME!!!!

This sucks, no offense to you OrganicM, I'm just jealous and want this damn thing to work. I've got so much time invested in this little project, too.

AAHHH!!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
just wondering how come I am only getting title text showing up with no weather or anything?
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
will the Iphone layout work with the shadow 240x320
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
sorry, i forgot to thank you for this.... it saved my neck from doing a cold boot!
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
did you check your private messages?
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
haha, no problem bro - We're all here for each other :)

keep up the good work.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
what version are you running? Let me know cause mine works perfectly. I'll try and help you out once you tell me your version.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
1.6a

The version is 1.6a
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Damn, everything seemed fine when I was running version 1.3 but then when running version 1.6a I get title text showing up and nothing else. Dang I am so pissed right now, could someone please help me out.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
All the errors you re seeing is due to the forecast subroutine beeing messed up. i m getting the errors on my phone as well. i will look into this as soon as i get near my laptop again. sorry about that guys. i promise to make it up with the awesome looking iphone type layout :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
it will ! ;)
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Help

Hey OrganicM,

Do you think you could take time to help me with my query I've been posting.

:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
cool thx looking forward to it :D
[HTC Excalibur] ghostdogg:
Previous Version

I havent posted here yet. I have been keeping track of the post but staying out of the mix since I am running a Blackjack.

I believe I have a copy of the older version. Let me know if this is the one.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
haha You go Eddy ! That's how it should be.

Meanwhile, here's version 1.5 (that's the version I'm running and have been since the past 15 hours without any errors whatsoever)

Here are my settings -

Your Zip Code

Celsius (C)

Update Interval (60)

Connect GPRS (N)

Vibrate after update? (Y)

Layout (2)

Good Luck and let me know if it works.

P.S: I ran the update twice and it worked properly.

EDIT: Outerdepth and everyone else that are having issues, download this and see if it works. Also, when you reboot your phone - do you see that white screen that pops up with the Please connect to the internet for you to update your weather. Well, I deleted that key from "windows startup" and i think it's "weathertimer.mscr" - DELETE THIS ONLY IF YOU WANT TO, I DELETED IT BECAUSE I HATED SEEING THAT SCREEN lol.....and oh Also because I don't have a data plan nor do I update automatically. I update manually but if you do delete it, it won;t update AUTOMATICALLY ! :)

Oh another reason why I deleted it is because it used to give my phone a hard time, slowing down the boot up process and infact my phone froze many times since yesterday to the point where I had to get my battery out and put it back and press all the main buttons while booting for it to act normal :S but ever since I did that, no lock ups whatsoever.

Finally, whoever is having problems - I suggest using Sprite Backup as soon as possible just incase you have to do a hard reset or the phone dies on you. Would def. help :)
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Where is everybody?

Did anyone try the cab i posted yet? :)
