did you check to see if the file is read-only? I'm downloading it, i'll give it a whirl see if i can't get it to work. Any reason you're using that particular rom?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] c-los:
I did and I noticed it was set to read-only. How can I change this? Is there a program like total commander that will allow this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] P1Tater:
Yes. Total commander should overwrite it. Here's a link.

I'll try it. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] c-los:
*sigh* of relief. Thanks skatdawg & P1Tater. That did it. Thought I bricked it for a sec.

1. disable HTChome plug-in from today screen

2. remove read-only from HTChome.dll using resco explorer or total commander

3. copied new HTChome.dll from storage card or any other folder and copy->move to and overwrite in /Windows using resco or total commander.

No more rebooting and Local weather works. YAY! :D

OK. I have selected my city from the list that came with the HTC Weather but after few days it locks on the "Attemping to download data".

Am I having the same issue or I´m having a different problem (I'm using an city that was in the original HTC list). Since I' m not using a custom city will this DLL solve my problem too?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
I think it should, but nobody in your situation has tried it yet. If you're up to it you could give it a try and let us know. To my knowledge all this does is change the server it's pulling the information from...at least that is my understanding.

After flashing the same ROM and making the same adjustments to the HTC Weather plugin my phone now locks up completely on boot and the only way I can get it to not reset is to pull the SIM card - and then I can't connect through ActiveSync- I do plan on reviewing the forums as soon as I can but if anyone has suggestions on how to correct I would appreciate -

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] PJBHermes:
Thanks skatdawg. After 3 days of fighting hard resets, your procedure worked on my TyTn II with the official HTC 6.1 ROM.

Thanks again!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
Sorry for the slow reply, i guess i should check my own thread more often :) So you're saying that you only copied the htchome.dll file into the windows folder and now you can't boot? I'm not sure what would casue this. Nobody else has mentioned it to me. Please give me some more information. If you're just wanting to put a new flash then hold down the camera key while you reset with the stylus. This will cause the phone to enter bootloader screen (the tri-colored screen) and then connect to your computer through usb. You should be able to run KaiserRUU now.

Always love to hear success stories. My discovery was born out of my own frustration with trying to get my custom weather. I shared it to hopefully save many other people the troubles i went through :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mremer:
new ROM no problem

Turns out to have been an issue with that particular Radio combined with the HTC Weather set to auto update AND my SyncML software both starting up at boot up - problem went away with a hard reset and now that I am using a different ROM I don't have any of these problems.

Thanks for the response though!

Can someone please help me? What am I doing wrong?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
Are you using total commander, it's a free program located in my cabs folder. Or you can just google it.

After i clear the .dll Read Only flag (using Resco) and hit Done, when i check it again, the flag is set again. Using standard WM6.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
I'm not sure what you're asking, please send me a PM with more details and i'll be glad to help you if i can.

Just rename the file htchome.old and then copy the new htchome.dll file into the windows directory and you will be find. I don't think it'll let you change it from read only while it's being used.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] brynwall:
Yes I am using total commander... It still isn't letting me change it. You disable HTC Home by un-checking it in the today options right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] brynwall:
I did notice that even though read only wasn't checked there is a checkmark in the "in ROM" option that is greyed out... Does that make a difference?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] brynwall:
I found a work-around:

1. Create a folder in the main directory (call it what-you-will).

2. Copy your new HTCHome.dll file to that directory.

3.Go to the Windows folder and copy the HTCHome.dll.0409.mui file to your new folder.

4. Use a REGEDIT program and go to HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Today > Items > HTC Home

5. Change the location for the HTCHome.dll file to your new folder.

Done!!!!

:) Seems to work perfect.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
great, i'll add it as another option to the first post
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] warmkiwi99:
New folder and reg hack works for me too although I don't actually get any weather downloaded for my selected City :(

Postcode works OK directly on accuweather website though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] scotchua:
Two things:

1) Did you edit the city using HHC or by editing the registry. I recommend using HHC.

2) Did you disable the proxy by going into setting/connections/connections/advanced/select network/edit/proxy settings and uncheck the box that says to use a proxy?

Having problems...

I'm having problems with the new DLL... I followed your instructions using both Home 2.1 and 2.0 and every time I enable HTC home (after overwriting the DLL and soft-resetting) the space for HTC home is there, but none of it is displayed... I've tried this on ROMeOS 3.1 so far...

Edit: See attached image
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] warmkiwi99:

Skatdawg,

I have spent hours trying to fix this stupid WX via this current threat, this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=368282&page=4

And almost did the N2A fix, but saw several references that it caused perpetual reboots. I am running Dutty's 4/29 Hybrid w/Cube.

Using your method, I was able to get Orlando or Winter-Garden, FL to show up while linked with active sync as the default location and get weather.

Once unplugged it would "atttempt to download data", and then say "unable to retrieve data for selected city".

I then tried P1Tater's suggestion via HTC Customizer 1 Final, and his .dll (older), and all the weather functions worked just fine (updated via 3g, E, and wifi), but the backlight issue then popped up.

I reloaded your .dll, and backlight works, but no WX updates...

HELP!:confused:

PS - I checked your Proxy settings, and there were two Edits on the Network Mgt page, but only the lower one had anything about Proxys

What should these two windows say? Originally I thought it was My ISP top, and My Work Network below, but now not sure. I have unlimited data plan, and no 'work network' although a house wifi router....

Hello, I'm running Garmin's kick butt 1.x Final & installed the weather patch (1.5) + your dll fix, all was running smooth until I traveled. I put my phone in airplane mode & when I returned to phone mode, it was as if I never installed jack. (Also ALL my SIM stored favorite people were removed from my favorite list)

My fix was to re-install the patch, is this just a user error (most likely) or glitch? Either way, is their a fix?

Just curious. Thanks in advance rickC

For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:

Soft Reset

It should work fine
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Shooter38:
Unchecking the Proxy box worked for me. Should there be any other connections listed other than MediaNet?

I thought there were more on the factory AT&T Tilt before I started flashing ROMs???

media net is the one you want. So i wouldn't worry if there aren't more.

HTC Home Customizer Stopped

I have an AT&T Tilt with the stock 6.1 ROM. I disabled the AT&T bloatware when I installed the new ROM. I used HTC Home Customizer to customize my home. Unfortunately Weather didn't work, so I came to this thread and did this:

Now HTC Home Customizer doesn't work. I have stock home with the exception of the 6th icon, but now I can't customize the home page. My local weather works great now though!!

Any ideas?

Customized Weather among other things

I am relatively new to these forums, so I may need extra help. I have been looking at all of these many posts in attempts to get my local weather. I read where some are actually "creating" customized locations rather than using the list which comes with the HTC Home.

How is that done? I can find it on the website, but I can't figure out how to incorporate that into the phone?

Also, I just recently updated to WM6.1 and I lost all my Voice Tags. I read that Voice Command is expected to replace that, but I can not get it to work.

Lastly in regards to the weather, I read that I should use a REGEDIT program, where is that?

Thank you.

It is no big deal to remove programs/dlls etc... and re-install them in a particular order for me. I have no idea what that order might be as I'm not smart enough about this stuff to know which order might be key to getting Home Customizer to see HTC Home and the dll.

This is the order that I installed programs and their versions to get customized weather to work.

That made my already created customized weather location work. BUT!! It disabled HHC. SO I tried uninstalling/reinstalling HHC. No luck. I tried the fix mentioned above. No luck. So, it appears that using the HTCHome.dll in this thread disabled HHC all the while enabling an already created customized weather location.

I'm all ears (eyes) for any experts that might have ideas to make this work.

AT&T 6.1 ROM Method

Here is a method to get HTC Home Customizer and the HTCHome.dll to play nicely together on an AT&T Tilt running stock 6.1 with no bloatware installed. You must to a hard reset to get this to work so the appropriate back up warnings apply!

This method is courtesy of tbraun on the AT&T forum.

You must have the following cabs or dlls on your storage card.

a. tcmdpocketarm (Or another program that does the same thing as Pocket Commander)

b. HHCv10b5

c. HTCHome.dll found in post 54 of this thread.

How to do it:

Install all programs to the device using File Explorer to find and click on the cabs.

1. Do a

Hard

Reset and use appropriate techniques to ensure the AT&T bloatware was not installed.

2. Install TCM Total Commander (You can use any other program that will let you edit/move .dll files and install it here.)

3. Soft Reset

4. Install HTC Home Customizer 10b5 (Do not use 1.0 Final!)

5. Soft Reset

6. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to rename HTCHome.dll to HTCHome.old in the Windows directory on the phone.

7. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to move HTCHome .dll from your storage card to the Windows directory.

8. Soft reset the phone. (I had to do this twice. The first time HTC Home did not load. On the second soft reset the phone asked me if I wanted to install HTCHome.dll and I said yes. and HTC Home loaded.)

At this point, you should be able to both use HHC to edit appearance and customize weather.

Customize away and then restore/reinstall data/programs you had on your phone before. Customize some more if you want! I have not tried this yet after adding things like Kaiser Tweak, but tbraun has with no issues.

Again, major thanks to tbraun on the AT&T forum for coming up with the basic method. The hard reset is required because the AT&T 6.1 ROM version of HTC Home seems to need these items installed in this order to work. I'd tried various other orders and this one without a hard reset and HTC Home Customizer would only do one thing, or the other, appearances or weather.

Good Luck!

Jim

To create a customized database of cities use HTC Home Customizer, which can be downloaded from many locations on this site, or from my 4shared folder. Perform the following steps:

1) Make sure you have copied the patched htchome.dll file as instructed in the first post.

2) I am not sure it's necessary, but i usually disable the HTC Home plugin when making the changes.

3) Open HTC Home and navigate to the weather tab.

4) From the drop-down menu entitled "database type" select "custom"

5) Click "Enter New City" and then enter the relevant data for your city.

6) Click "Save City to Custom Database"

7) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for as many cities as you would like to add.

8) Clik and "save" and then enable the HTC Home Plugin again.

9) Your weather tab should now display your customized list of cities.

Customised Weather on HTC Tytn II with WM6.1

Thanks to SCOTCHUA for his HTChome.dll I have finally managed to get customised weather sites working on my HTC.

Here how:-

I have attaced all you need. Unzip these files first on your PC before copying to device. (Sorry can't get HTC Home customiser to upload, you will have to get that from elsewhere.)

Install HTC Home Customiser, not sure if this is required but you can do cool stuff with the display.

Install rescoe explorer (Needed to overwrite dll and xml files in Windows) Copy in the xml file to Windows directory with resco, I have included Australian towns Orange, Dubbo, Albury, Wagga and Lismore but you can add your own. Check the codes required on the http://www.accuweather.com/ web site

Disable HTC Home in "Settings - Today" Restart Copy in attached HTChome.dll to Windows directory with Resco.

Enable HTC Home in "Settings - Today" and pick a town you have added and see if it works.

Good Luck - Hope this helps and Thanks again to SCOTCHUA for his HTChome.dll
