Yes. If I reboot my homescreen is green with blue panels and if I try to change the homescreen to anything, the screen ends up blank again. And, the weather panel is stuck on 25% (right after a reboot). Then round and round I go again (reboot yada yada). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no change. The weather I'm installing is the one from TODAY.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
but the million dollar question is... are you manually updating the weather after you reboot or are you expecting it to do it for you automatically ?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Org, what about a panel changer to change between current and forecast panel(using your layouts as the panels and just updating the layout showing from homescreen without having to open options and updating again. I made a panel.mscr using your current layouts to change between and made it look like this. By the way, I like the first screen shot you posted with white text.
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
That was about to be my next question...
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
I've tried both. I've rebooted after a clean install and waited for it to do its thing. Also, after a clean install I've clicked your program "Weather Options" and set it to auto update in 45. I've even tried to tell it "N" for try to connect first and I've tried "Y". Nothing seems to work. I've probably installed and uninstalled it 8 times each trying something new.
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
After a reboot (but before I selected weather to get a connection first) now just hangs at "Starting...10%" but as you can see in the upper right its not grabbing a connection. ...and you can clearly see the blue panels onto of green (how annoying) ...lol
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Just trying to cover all bases here... So you manually went to 'Weather Update' in the Start menu?
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Well, I tried that too but not at first (either way nothing works) BUT first I selected "Weather Options"...typed in my zip and "Y" for internet (initially) then rebooted. Then I get to 25% and I can see it attempts an internet connection. But still it doesn't complete.
[HTC Excalibur] djquick:
I had the same problem, i'll wait til a final version comes out.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The blue panels display because you installed my WM7 theme. Take that off and it should return back to normal.

As far as updating... it's probably because there's a problem with your internet connection. Can you go www.yahoo.com on your phone using IE ??
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
There wont be a "final" version.... It's already, finalized. :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] xfaith:
So if I have another program that does updates to the homescreen it will lock it out? Am I understanding this correct?

I am not sure which program is causing the blank screen like the other user. But it happens every once in a while, I guess I should check when it happens.

[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
v1.7: I would hardly call this a bug, but I am running the slim version at the moment, and I notice that the weatherpanel, when not selected, doesn't "dim out" like the others. Otherwise, it seems to be updating perfectly, at last, and looks fantastic. I think I will edit out the location name in the unselected mode myself, some... day...
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Just a thought...

I like having "NRG WM7 Chome" theme installed because of the thin panels but maybe its conflicting with this newer Weather program? I have been installing the thin one. hmm... maybe I should uninstall NRG WM7 theme then Thin Weather À la carte ?
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Thats funny..he said final version

anyway, yes I can go to any and all website via EDGE ($5.99 tzones deal). ...the weird thing is, your older version (the cab file that does NOT say "test" at the end) works beautify with your WM7 theme. But I do like your newest color (thin panel) theme better :-) ...do you have it for me :D
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Why is it everytime I install the Weather Plugin, I get the LCD Clock even if I uninstall the LCD Clock Mod? All I want is SlimChome with the more transparent panels, weather, and the NORMAL clock with Calibri font. Thanks for any help.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm.. so it goes through a proxy. Do you have the proxy settings entered into your GPRS settings under start/connections/GPRS... ?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Uninstall ALL customizations.. reboot! Then install my cab for slim UI weather :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Sounds like a winner to me! You dont need the WM7 weather theme to get the thin panels. Slim UI Weather does it all for you. Just no blue panels :)
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
I uninstalled Chome WM7 and rebooted. Now I have regular panels with the bottom bar blue (ok easy fix right?) WRONG! I went to change my home screen color back to "default" and noticed the layout was already at "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" so I left that and only changed the color scheme to "default" and when I went back to the home screen its now completely blank again.

Is this normal behavior for having the weather app that every time you want to change anything on the homescreen you must reboot :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Yes, all the proxy settings are there and working properly and have been for many months. My email and all websites over EDGE are working.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Okay. Do you have any IM apps ? Talk to me on yahoo or AIM please, I will be able to better troubleshoot that way. CLick on the two icons at the top left corner of this post to find out what the nicknames are :)
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Yeah, Yahoo. I will sign in. SN = qwikndrty

Much appreciated !!!
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
I know your probably getting really annoyed, but I can't remove Slim CHome 2. I have 2 entries of it on my Remove Programs list and neither of them will uninstall. Oh well. Just lettin ya know.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Just install over the top, if they dont want to uninstall.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
how do u get it with that top icon in the center of the panel then an icon next to the next days weather? I'd post the screenshot but this pc is too slow with the net so I'm just hoping u can remember what I'm talking about off this description alone.
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
I give up. I do this OVER and OVER and OVER and I very much appreciate all of your help O, but this damn thing will not only uninstall your previous SlimChome's, but it won't get rid of this damn LCD Clock when I uninstall and reinstall the SlimChome w/ Weather. Everytime after I reboot, it's back up with the LCD Clock and "not so" transparent panels.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
cant u use rickys slim theme font switcher? or just the regular one...then go into windows rename LCD.ttf to LCD.ttfa or something then reboot the phone...delete LCD.ttfa then go back to slim panel again?
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
and how do I get it to look like this? or is this a work in progress

and where the hell are those 45 cent wings at?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
I had this same issue happen to me w/ version 1.6. I tried for 2 days to uninstall this .cab! Then a couple of days later--it decided to uninstall on the first attempt. lol All I can say is to keep trying.

EDIT: Also, try to install the LCD Chome Mod again (even though it's already installed). For some reason, it uninstalled my current LCD Chome Mod when I did that. Voila. I was rid of the .cab.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The IPHone layout is on the backburner now.. Here's what I'm working on now and it works very well. Suggestions ??? Ideas ??? Tell me to f***k off ? LOL
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Layout looks good, when do we get it. The black text versions didn't show up to good on your background.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
damn that iphone version was looking proper...what was wrong with it?
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Ok, so I tried to uninstall and you're right after a re-boot its still there. So I tried to install over the top and I get an Alert saying "The previous version will be uninstaller first" I selected OK. Then I got another error "The previous version cannot be uninstalled, would you like to install anyway?" I selected OK. After the install it asked for a reboot..OK. After a reboot the Weather panel is gone and its out of my programs list as well. So it looks like the only way for me to uninstall then reinstall is to attempt to install it (but it actually uninstalls) then reinstall and reboot.

After I reinstalled the cab file again (the thin one) I now have the weather panel on my home screen and the color green throughout but the weather is stuck at 10%. Rather then me clicking around messing it all up I will wait for your (OrganicM) response ;)
[HTC Excalibur] axv91:
im sry for the off-topic question, but how did u change the color of the "glass panel"?... i want to edit mine but cant seem to find it anywhere in the phone... tnx

--

back to topic, i was just wondering organic if u plan on incorporating the app on 240x320 screen, i already installed illi's potrait .cpr file but it doesn't seem to work... i really need this app =(.... tnx a bunch!!
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Under settings, then homescreen, then your color.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
when i had this problem. i did this.... i changed the homescreen that i was on ( i picked a non-chome homescreen, i used windows simple) then i rebooted my phone. then i uninstalled the proggy and it let me uninstall. I think it wont uninstall because there are certain processes that it cant kill since they are in use, ON YOUR HOMESCREEN!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
thats definitely not how you change the color of the glass panel..lol
[HTC Excalibur] axv91:
yea i think thats for the menu color or something.... i just want to know if there is a file that i could edit...tnx anyways
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Organic, Just got home from work and....

Your program, v1.7, is a complete success. I downloaded it and installed while I got ready for work this morning. I set it up while I drove, which was surprisingly easy do to its perfect architecture.

That being said, I've got some pics posted below of what I liked that I have seen in this forum for your panel.

I like the Iphone idea the best. I know you said it's on the backburner, but right now, it should be on the front on HIGH HEAT. It looks sweet.

Otherwise, I like the one you posted as your original fav, that would be pic2.

Lastly, the one you are showing as what you're leaning towards is not as good in my opinion. I don't mean as well done or made. I mean I like that layout better on the one you called your fav originally. Anyways, thanks for the perfect screen. I hope you get back to me on adding another panel below,or and this is a big OR, using that idea in a previous post about a panel that switches your weather panel's info from current to forecast. Just an idea, tell me what you think. Holla!!:cool::D
[HTC Excalibur] qwikndrty:
Now that its been a good hour of just leaving my phone sit there, I just now looked at the screen and there was this:

Error

Error 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forcastrss?p=90210&u=F'

couldn't be opened (http error 500)

Line 84 (\ProgramFiles\NRG\ChomeWeather\weather.mscr):

[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Have you downloaded this 1.7 version? I didn't notice you saying that or anyone asking you?

Maybe you did, but I just haven't seen it.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
He's going trough a proxy. I just had him connect through activesync and it updated just fine. He probably needs to put in the number for TMobile's tzones proxy and he might be fine... An HTTP error 500 is definitely not a problem with my script :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thanks for the kind words. It looks like at least someone is appreciating all the hard work I've put into this :) As far as the IPhone layout, it's done and I safely put it away in a .rar file so I can incorporate it into the Options later. The other two layouts... YOu'll have an option between light or dark colored backgrounds and where the text is gonna go on them... I bet you'll like it :)
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
ah shucks lol, i tried :)

oh well....

what's up organic? how's it coming along - do you suggest that i install your app now or still wait on? let me know thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
actually,,, all im doing to cropping off the edges on the sides. adding a little more dead space on the top and bottom then scaling them to 44x44 to conserve file size. (but you''ll still see the full image, just not all stretchy looking)
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Cannot get this to work for the life of me. Whether it's telling me I don't have an Internet Connection (which I do) or when I hit update weather and it refreshes the screen and the weather panel is gone. Even if I switch to SlidingMedia NRG + Weather! or whatever it is, there is still NO WEATHER PANEL. WTF!?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'm actually coming up blank on this one... Are you sure you're using Ricky's ROM ? Or Kavana "?
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Yah, just flashed it this morning.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I dont know then... Sounds like you must be doing something wrong. :/
[HTC Excalibur] mystix:
Everything works great except that when I press start I cannot see the list of programs.
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
hmm i just noticed something. if you have the battery meter installed it gets closed after a update. im guessing this is caused by the reloading of the screen?
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Start, All Programs Stop Working!

When I first install the latest weather app download it worked fine, now Start and All Programs just stop working. Another thing my phone start having freeze ups, so I uninstall the weather app and again Start and All Program are back to working normal and the freeze ups have gone. I think that I will just stick with my MSNDirect weather until this problem is totally fixed..............!:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I got the same problem with the start menu. I lose visual on the screen for start menu but it is still running and I can still open programs. I just can"t see what I'm picking. After a reset, start menu works correctly again until next update. I'm on a blackjack with Da_G 6.1 beta 2. I decided to remove start menu links for weather and now after update start menu comes up but doesn't start with most recent programs, it starts on page where I last launched a program.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Just Wanted to Say: F**KING BADASS!!

Man, I'm not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant to go ahead and upgrade, because unlike most people, your 1st cab worked perfectly. Brilliant by the way. Anyways, I just put the newest cab on here, and damn dude, this is even better than the first. I hope you know how badass you are for figuring all this out. I am quite lucky to have found this forum. I know you used to post like crazy on the SSBH forums. I was on there too. But now, I am all xda all the way and have you to thank. Back to what I was saying, this is working perfectly, so to anyone having trouble getting your screen up and running, just READ THE FIRST POST. You summed it up in the 1st post, nobody should be having trouble. Holla!!:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'm thinking all the problems with the start menu are because of the exe I'm using to refresh the screen automatically. I attached a cab version in this post that doesn't use that. Please download and test. If all your problems go away, then we have our culprint and I'll have to look into another way to reload the homescreen.... or... start using the CTestUIPLugin again, so we dont have to. Thanks, and I'll wait for your feedback.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thanks for the kind words, man! Writing and testing this, did take a lot of hours and I'm happy that it works for at least some of us. :D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Reuploaded all the cabs in the first post, with pudgedaddy's new edited, square, icons :) Thank again, pudgedaddy.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
umm...ok i dont know what's going on :|

seems very promising - i instaled the Chome Weather Panel 2

folowed everything, got my city's code, input it as well as selected Celsius then when i connected to the internet, updated the weather - the weather panel disappeard so i selected the Sliding Media Top Bar + Weather and i don't see the Weather Panel anymore.

wierd :s

oh and also, it added another panel with "My Programs" which wasn't there before in Sliding Media NRG with Red X's and i don't need it right now because I'm already using your other My apps program.

Any suggestions Organic? I'm going to go reboot my phone to see if it will work.

Oh on the other hand, Amazing Amazing Work - I'm very happy to know we have people like you that help this forum be a much better place to be :D

P.S: I'm running Kavana's ROM, would that have to do with anything? cause so far, everythings perfect :S

EDIT: It still didn't work but give me 5 mins bro, I'm going to install your latest cab - the no refresh one and let you know what happens.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
:( no luck !

i tried your second cab too, i just don't see weather panel anywhere. i only saw it once when i first installed it - with ur regular cab.

and now when i do update the weather (with the no refresh) it doesn't work, it keeps saying connect to the internet when it is connected to the internet.

i don't get what the problem could be. could it be conflicting with anything else I have? but no it can't be because I did see the panel the first time, only when i hit update - it disappeard and i tried different home screens too, your weather one and ur regular sliding media nrg one too.

any suggestions bro?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Do you have Weather in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Plugins? I had to add it here for it to show up for me.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
give me 5 mins, i'll try and post results - i really hope this works ! :(

tried it so many times already

thanks for that info, i'm guessing that could be the reason.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
i'm on my opera mini right now so icant really look into things. let me get home and look at the cabs once over, maybe i missed something. as far as the internet goes, the script checks for internet connectivity by trying to load www.google.com. can u load that page in PIE on your phone ?
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
yes i can - i loaded google first. i just installed your cab again, i'm going to add that registry entry and see if it works - i really hope it does ! :)

EDIT: I do have that registry entry but Organic, i noticed something - and maybe that could be what's causing the problem - in my registry under CHOME, i have the following:

chome

clinks

cmessage

cmusic

cmyapplication

cmyfaves

cmyphotos

cphotdialer

ctestuiplugin (BAM! - UR OLD WEATHER THINGY - could this be the reason why :S or that's there for everybody lol)

cwelcomecenter

cwindowslive

fonts

settings

weather

blah blah

and under plugins - i do have weather :S

EDIT: should i delete that entry and see if it works - also is it just "weather" or "CWeather"? as far as i know, i do see "weather" under plugins
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Once again, Truly Amazing, My Friend

Dude, you do that and I'm coming to Vegas (Scratch that, Romania) and finding you and buying you a beer.:) LOL!

Give me some options in the layouts I can choose, that way even if I don't like them exactly (WHICH I'M SURE I WILL), I have the option of tweaking those in the mscr file and getting my way as all real men should.:cool:

I appreciate your work, I'm glad that pleases you, you deserve it. Iphone, one word, SWEET.

When's this release expected to hit the street, good buddy.

10-4, over and out.

Here's My Homage to OrganicM

This is your brain child, thanks SO MUCH!!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
works perfect thanks organic, also just wondering when is that iphone like weather going to be out?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Org, this thing is awesome. I haven't noticed any bugs in version 1.7 as of yet. We all really appreciate the work you've put into this .cab. Today I was looking at the posts over the wee morning hours. You have been up until 2 and 3 AM fixing bugs and answering questions! When you finish the .cab, you should take a vacation...on us. j/k Great work man.
[HTC Excalibur] AbsoluteDesignz:
lol@ how many of us are salivating waiting for that iphone layout....this works perfectly on my phone now and i have no further complaints...keep up the good work....

off topic: do you know anything about dpi changes in the dash and how to cook roms? just a question.
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Hey, Organic, is there a way I could "borrow" your source files for the WelcomeCenter based one? I'd love to pursue the 100% image based one, but not sure were to start, or how to script the image swapping. I suppose seeing what you've got would be as good a place as any.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
quick question: when i change the chome font to script...i love the font, but then the weather panel is distorted...so i reinstall the cab file....the weather options menu is in script now and rediculously small and i cant read it
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
Hmm would someone mind exporting and uploading the LM\software\microsoft\chome\Ctestuiplugin and LM\secuirty\ CHOME\defualtsettings\CTestUIPlugin reg folders?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well then it sounds like you need to stop experimenting. Chome doesn't like a mish mash of options installed on top of each other. Sorry... start over! :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will dig em up for you...
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
WOOT! :D :D
[HTC Excalibur] sweetnothings:
installation was unsuccessful

i tried to install this on my device

the unlock cab did install sucessful

but the aplication failed with the error

"installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

i tried all of the v1.7 releases.

my someone has a helpful hint for me?

i have wm6.1 on my htc vox (gonzo rom 1.1) with sliding panel homescreen.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It doesnt currently work on the VOx. Go to the Vox forum and look for the weather thread. There's info there on what needs to be done to get it to work.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Did you try this. Try to install these two cabs to see if it will unlock and work.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Lets abandon this thread guys... it's way too big. Come on in to my new thread where version 1.8 awaits :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392517
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
It's just Weather, no C. Also, for my start menu problem I ended up installing SmartToolKit rc08 to replace it and it works perfect, no problems.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Yea, I just have Weather as well and I also have smart tool kit RC08.

so it's something else then :S

which cab did you install? i tried both new versions, with AU and without AU

i'm thinking it's the "TestUIPlugin" registry entry conflicting, can you check your registry and tell me if this is in there or not? Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Yes, I do have the testuiplugin still in there and I'm using the au version(although I moved the au out of windows/startup because it kicks you out of whatever you're doing when it updates). I had the his first version yesterday working and updating, then woke this morning and it was gone and I couldn't get it to come back. I'm hoping this one sticks.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
hmm, that's wierd.

i just don't get then why mine wouldn't show up :S

ok i'm gonna give it one last try lol then that's it until he sees what the problem is because i tried everything so far.
[HTC Excalibur] ryanh11:
I installed it on my htc s621 and it works like a charm....the only thing is that when it updates it opens a bunch of apps then it finally goes back to the homescreen like its freaking out or something...but other than that it works....great job organic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
