Auto update isn't working for me either, even after the update. I get 1 auto update after a manual update, but after the one auto update, it won't auto update again until I do a manual one.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I may be wrong, but I think Org is now writing the update time to the notifications queue for wm. It's a little different than having weathertimer.mscr running constantly in startup. Give him a little time and I'm sure he'll work the bug out.:)
[HTC Excalibur] drewtooth:
a notch off topic.

i love the weather app, but i also like the "black dot" background in the photos. where do i get it?

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's already installed on your phone if you installed 3.0.1 . Set your background to "background" :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will. I've been very busy this weekend and I havent even opened my laptop today. I will definitely fix this tomorrow... I think I know what's wrong ;) It sucks, cause on my phone it doesnt update automatically AT ALL... lol
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You can delete the entire DLL folder if you never plan to change the color of your panels. Same for the HTCicons folder if you never want to use the HTC layout.. IPHONE folder for the iphone layout and so on.... :) I will figure out a solution for this and make it modular. I don't know why you would get a red x ... I will look into that.
[HTC Excalibur] evolarius:
quick question for anyone here... i can only view the download sites from my phone, i have no home internet... for some crazy strange reason, i can only download part of the zip file and it never fully installs... is there a way that anyone could possibly email me the zip containing the install?
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
I seem to be having a different auto-update problem than everyone, mine updates too many times, I never noticed it until I turned the vibrate feature on. When the auto update starts, my screen shows it updating and I do get the two vibrates for the completed update, but then it starts updating again right after the original update. This happens a total of 3 times.

I am always connected all day anyway via exchange server but the I did notice the vibrates do drain the battery a little bit more, I have since shut that feature off. Anyone else notice this or have this same problem?

Uninstall issues

This program does not uninstall "nicely". Be careful installing this code. Wording carefully guarded ... I'm so not happy ... I've had to manually delete the program, short cuts, home screen and it still messed up my normal sliding windows homescreen.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I guess if you had to pay for it.. you would have killed somebody, eh ? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
LOL!! pwnd!
[HTC Excalibur] twolf:
wow, could this great-looking today plugin work on a pocket pc?

:D
[HTC Excalibur] jgalea:
Paying for it does not really cover the two hours I have already spent trying to uninstall this program. And my sliding home screen is still messed. There is a "Weather Forecast" remnant left around that is now broken. Very nice thanks. To eradicate this program I am looking at a hard reset of the phone. And then reload everything, re-pair by bt devices etc. Yes I am being very restrained in my response. :mad:
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Did you install the right file for your device? Have you tried reinstalling the program, reboot and then try to uninstall?

Rather than complaining, let us know exactly what you have done and maybe I/We can try to help.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Since the Sliding Panel homescreen is only available on WM Standard, no it will not work.
[HTC Excalibur] johmann:
Hey jgalea, I am normally not one to just throw in my two cents on things like this, but I think we can all agree on one thing:

Any software we download and install on our phones is our own responsibility. You made the choice to try it and it may not have worked for you, that's the name of the game.

Organic put in a ton of work on this software, not to mention all the efforts of everyone who helped through testing and reporting.

I'll bet you can't show any bruises on your arm from being forced to try this program. You made a choice to install it and it didn't work for you . . . get over it and move on. At least there are guys like Organic willing to put in the effort - have you?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yes, very possible and it would actually look A LOT better since I'd have more customization flexibility. It can be done with rlToday. I have an HTC TyTn as well and I'm thinking about porting it to the PPC if there's enough interest...
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Your frustration is understandable...however, the applications in this forum are available on a "download at your own risk" basis. Just FYI...
[HTC Excalibur] twolf:
thats GREAT!

:D

but isnt the rltoday limited? currently to have weather on it you need mortscript installed...

Anyway, if you need a betatester i'd be honored.

^_^
[HTC Excalibur] jgalea:
My intent was not to complain, but to warn others. I've seen a number of comments in the forums about uninstall problems with this code. I do not seem to be the only one.

I installed NRG Chome Weather 3.0 Vox.cab on an HTC 710 with Dr Gonzo's 1.1 Version of WinMo 6.1. The program did not uninstall. I tried install/uninstall, reboots. Everything previously mentioned. All to no avail. The program was left in the windows directory taking space, registry wan not cleaned up and my sliding panel home screen is now messed.

Hope this helps to clarify.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well the Vox version is only a test... If you had an Excalibur, which is what this "code" is intended for, it would work just fine. So, install this on a Vox, ONLY if you know what you're doing...
[HTC Excalibur] jgalea:
So you can't suggest how I might get "Weather Forecast" out of the default sliding screen shy of a hard reset?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Use the CHome configurator utility at the top of this forum to disable the "WelcomeCenter" slide.. and your weather forecast will be gone from the home screen.
[HTC Excalibur] jgalea:
Thanks for the tip. That is a neat program. Unfortunately it just keeps coming back. Looks like a hard reset is the only way to remove this unless you have any other ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
you may have already done this, but try this. Go to 2 places in your registry.

1. HKLM-->Security-->CHome-->DefaultSettings-->CWelcomeCenter ____Then locate the value called "Disabled" if it's assigned a value of 0 then change to 1.

2. HKLM-->Software-->Microsoft-->CHome-->CWelcomeCenter ____Then locate the value called "Disabled" if it's assigned a value of 0 then change to 1.

Reboot your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] jgalea:
A combination of regedit and Chome config seems to have done the trick. The Weather Forecast is now gone. Thanks for the help.

Chome Config is a nice program that allows some customization of the Sliding Panel. Very nice.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Sorry for the wrong information, should have clarified better.
[HTC Excalibur] Dees_Troy:
I won't know for another 28 minutes if I for sure fixed the auto-update issue, but here is a modified weather.mscr file that I believe fixes the auto-update problem.

Of course, use this at your own risk.

I changed:

If (yupdatemin<nowmin)

To this:

If (yupdatemin<=nowmin)

Only 1 character difference, but without this extra character, there was no path in the code that set a value for Stamp if the current minutes equals the last update to the weather data plus 5 minutes.

UPDATE: This small change works for me. I could add a final If-Then trap just before the script adds the notification to the State and Notification Broker that checks to ensure that Stamp isn't blank or null or in the past and change Stamp to an hour from now if Stamp doesn't meet that criteria.
[HTC Excalibur] axv91:
omg thank u very much kron.... i was actually thinking of editing the new version, just didn't have the time....this couldn't be any more perfect, the fcastbackp needs a little more adjustments but besides that, i love u man!! (T_T)

i dont think u still need it my cpr right? :p.... i think i'll just edit my own cpr using yours because it'll mess up my custom homescreen , tnx for the .cab file though

--

heres the fcastbackp.png i edited, its all perfectly aligned to the text because every single detail counts :D
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
Adding that one character seems to have fixed it for me as well.
[HTC Excalibur] Dees_Troy:
I am finding that, for my zip code, the last update always occurs at 53 after, but the xml file must be updated much later. You can use SKTools Lite to view the Notifications Queue to confirm that auto update is properly scheduled, so I know it's working. I may further update the code to compare update times & re-update in 10 mins if no update has occured on the webpage. It's very hard to read & modify someone else's code, especially when you are unfamiliar with the project, so I will see what I can do.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
This runs on mortscript anyway, so it wouldn't be anything extra. As for as rlToday, I ran it quite a bit before and never had any problems. And the great thing about porting to ppc? No working with hard to update panels, refreshing today screen is much easier than homescreen with testui. :D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It would very easy on the smartphone also if MS would fix their BUGS !!!!!! It irks me to no end... lol
[HTC Excalibur] Dees_Troy:
More Updates from Dees_Troy

I continued my modifications. Here are my new updates:

1) Fixed an issue that prevented the last updated time (based on the time the update runs on the phone) from populating in the registry like it was supposed to.

2) Modified code to automatically update every 5 minutes if the update time on the webpage has not changed since the last runtime. (Added a new registry key to prevent the auto update from running every 5 minutes after a manual update. If you ran a manual update and there was no change in last webpage update, this new code could cause the phone to autoupdate every 5 minutes until the webpage updates.)

3) Updated SetOptions.mscr to change "GPRS" to "internet connection" to better represent CDMA phones.

4) Updated SetOptions.mscr to include a setting to disable updating the 10-day forecast panel (Welcome Center) to speed up the update time for those of us not using the 10-day panel (Welcome Center). Default is Yes, to update the Welcome Center whether the registry key exists yet or not. With this option set to No, you should no longer see the 75% progress bar. On my phone, this makes the whole process run about 5 seconds faster.

5) Added code to support not updating the Welcome Center panel for the above option to Weather.mscr. Default is Yes, to update the Welcome Center whether the registry key exists yet or not.

6) Changed code such that the next autoupdate occurs at a slightly random time of last webpage update + 1 hour + random 4 to 8 minutes to help reduce traffic from hitting the webpage all at the same time.

The zip file contains 2 files. Both files need to replace the files in \Program Files\NRG\ChomeWeather Use these at your own risk and back up your old files if you feel the need.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thanks for helping out with this. I haven't had the time to release the bug fixes (although I did fix the autoupdate feature on my phone already).

The only problem I see with your modification #5 is... If you set the option to not update the WelcomeCenter if will not update layout #7 either which is a "no no" :) I will look through your mods and post an update.cab to squash all the bugs and add your mods :)
[HTC Excalibur] Dees_Troy:
Yes, you're right, I messed up that extra option. One last update from me and I think it's high time I turned the keys back over to OrganicM. This version fixes the update bug with my option and eliminates the step that downloads and writes the text descriptions of the extended forecast to the registry that isn't needed if you aren't using the 10-day (Welcome Center) panel.
[HTC Excalibur] brocja01:
I must be retarded.....

Can't get my panel to be transparent? It worked in 2.3, am I missing something?

Thanks

Help Needed

Hey guys,

Im currently in Saudi Arabia and I tried the sendspace.com link but its blocked by the ISP. Can someone upload the Original Nrg Weather file on rapidshare or 4shared, I'll be most grateful

Thank you very much
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Hope this helps you:

Most of the versions here
[HTC Excalibur] yamank69:
Thanks!!

thanks a million mikey that was awesome
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
No problem dude...do me a favor now?!?!

*Joke* Tell your connections over there, to lower the price of exporting oil to us in the U.S.A :D
[HTC Excalibur] debabratadey:
I second that...

I second that... :D
[HTC Excalibur] strongsteve:
I am using the six day panel and whenever it finishes updating, I get a brief message stating "incoming call". The problem lies in when this happens and my phone is locked. When I go to unlock the phone, the incoming call message pops up and I cant get rid of it. Is anyone else seeing this?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I see the incoming call thing everytime it updates, but it goes way within 1 or 2 seconds.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
If you're using the 6 day panel. No. It is intentionally dark (semi-transparent)

the image is to allow better columnization of the weather details and also i believe it's used to allow the data to "pop-out" better on your screen, no matter what wallpaper you are using. Some wallpapers with the completely transparent slides would make some of the text info on the slide difficult to read.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Is there a way to edit the .cpr files and get a colored clock(time) font?

i modified the font type, But i tried FontColor= "Red" on the clock line abd it didnt change to red.

edit: I also tried Font Color="#FFFF00" and Color="#FFFF00" and Color="maroon" and when i tried those, the slider screen wouldnt open
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
If I remember correctly, somehow Technology got his font to change colors. I remember he made some sort of purple and yellow combination theme.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah.. You can change it in the homescreen's XML in \application\home. But not in the CPR unfortunately :/
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
well i really wanted to just change the time color. If i do it there ( and correct me if i'm wrong ) it'll change all of the colors on the homescreen
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You're right! :/
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
oh well. kinda lame that can't be done. I've installed a neon font and the extra color would have made it look cool. I really didnt want to change the other font colors on the screen. Maybe someone will post a fix for this. God knows i'm toying with it now. Just a questio ORG. is the .cpr using css or html or other type of coding? i thought it was CSS but correct me if im wrong
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The CPR file is just plan XML ;) It's kind of close to CSS coding if you'd like... :)
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue with the regular version of the mortscript files but I am having issues with Dees_Troy's newest versions. The highs and lows no longer appear in the 6-day forecast panel when selected. When unselected, the high and low for today is still there though, so I don't think its an issue with getting the data, I don't know.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Here's an update that fixes the autoupdate feature and doesn't update the registry with the forecast information anymore. A few other code changes as well to make the whole thing take less time to update :) Enjoy and report any bugs please...
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
I got an error trying to run this that the previous version of NRG Weather update would have to uninstall first. Then it said the previous version couldn't be uninstalled, and asked if it should try installing anyway, and finally when it finished it said installing was unsuccessful. However, it does appear that the two scripts in my CHomeWeather directory are the new ones. I still have no high and low temperatures, so I'm going to try uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling it again I think.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Install worked fine for me. On the options page, I noticed the next update time is in -20230249 minutes. Maybe you wrote the timestamp data, instead of minutes? :)
[HTC Excalibur] pyrotech:
Warning to Moto Q9C users..

This is a very cool nice looking program but warnings to watch out for.. The following issues happened on 7 different Moto Q9C phones all using sprint network.

1. When locking your phone you will get a "Phone Incoming" across the top that will randomly show up and not go away until rebooting phone or updating weather

2. auto update does not work.. even if it does you still need to do a manual update to get it to show on your sliding panel

3. auto update home screen turns off your phone service

4. uninstalling the program will cause u to get prompts about the nrg weather file does not exist every hour when it use to try and auto update.. this seems to only be after installing the NRG update files..

Hopefully the issues will be resolved but for now it has been removed from my phone and wouldn't suggest Q9C users to install it.. unless it is a second device you mess around on..
[HTC Excalibur] strongsteve:
I get all of these things as well.. but I am going to keep it for now and hope that the bugs all get worked out.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well instead of coming on here and talking crap about my application, saying how it doesn't work properly on your Motorola phone, maybe you should look at the top of this forum and observe the fact that this is an Excalibur forum. NOT a Motorola Q forum. So if this app gives you problems, instead of warning people to stay away from it, I suggest you just stay away completely until you get an Excalibur, which is what this application is designed to be installed on and on which it works pretty well. Thank you!! ;)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
No.. I didn't. But that is weird... Does it show "normal" minutes after you update manually ?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
All's good after update. That was the reading when I first installed the update cab you posted earlier, before I ran weather update.

But I also noticed that the minutes have a negative sign in front of them, is that supposed to be?
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
Before my first update it showed this. After I updated it manually once, it worked for me. Also, not quite sure what the above poster was talking about, this works great on my q9c, except I'm still getting a red X for the battery level in the settings panel, but that doesn't even matter to me that much.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's not and I thought I fixed that damn it! LOL Can you do yet another update and see if it goes away ? I still have to work on that part of the code, I noticed on my phone it still doesn't update at the correct intervals sometimes...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'll have to include some error checking for that "minutes until next update" feature... And the problem right now is, that it runs at the beginning of the script (thus, before updating) and it should really run after the new data (and the timestamp) has been downloaded. I'll do that tonite and post a new update as well... Thanks for hanging in there guys.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hey.. Can you do me a favor and tell me what the version(build) of your OS is ? Your phone came with 6.1 on it right, you didn't download it like the rest of us...?

Just go to Settings/ About and see what the Build is. Mine is 19700.1.1.0 for example.
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
working good on the shadow and I have no negative sign in front of the min. but like organicm doesn't update at correct intervals sometimes and I can't get in options some times either from the start menu or the home page
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The only reason for the options not coming up would be that it's already running, but not visible. Look through your list of process and kill any mortscript.exe processes and try again. In the next update I will include a timeout for the options page that will just exit after a predifined amount of time of inactivity...:) It was there in like the first couple of version, but I removed it as it seemed unecessary.. heh
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
that's what I been doing just didn't see no post on the bug so I was giving you a heads up on it
[HTC Excalibur] jhoff80:
It was an upgrade, but came from Motorola, so I believe its technically more official than the way you've needed to update.

CE OS 5.2.19208 (Build 19208.1.0.1)
[HTC Excalibur] Dees_Troy:
I have a Sprint Q9c, and I am running this app without much difficulty. Let me see what I can address here.

1) Yes, it does this for me, too, but I run SmartToolkit with a special background when my phone is locked. Most of the time I don't even see this message. Even if I did see it, it wouldn't bother me. If it bothers you that much, I am surprised that you can even stand to use a Windows Mobile device at all.

2) Auto updating works fine with me after the latest update cabs are installed & it updates the CTestUI panel for me every time. The 10-day panel only updates if you use the homescreen refresh option or reboot.

3) It's called an experimental option for a reason. Turn it off & use one of the 6 day panels instead. Use CHome Configurator to hide the CWelcomeCenter panel & make sure the CTestUI panel is not hidden. After saving these changes, you will get a message saying that home.exe crashed. Reboot your phone & all is well.

4) It doesn't sound like the program is uninstalled. Delete everything in \Program Files\NRG. Install & open SKTools Lite (free) & on the first screen, click View->Maintenance & select Notifications Queue. Delete any references to \Program Files\Nrg\CHomeWeather\weather.exe & no more auto updating.

With the right settings, this app does work very well with the Q9c.
[HTC Excalibur] Knightofhearts:
Love this app

I love this app I installed it and found it updating at strange times sometimes not for hours and hours then it would work like clockwork. Beautifully done. I was wondering at some point if the main weather panel, not the forcast panel could be integraded with the big clock panel at the top so as I do a quick look at my phone I can see the time and the weather in the same panel.

No complaints what so ever great job everyone!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
why not just edit this: it'll lock your time panel in.

Is there a way to get the rinku icon bar with this theme?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
If you mean running the Rinku bar and the weather app at the same time--then the answer is 'yes'. After downloading the Rinku Iconbar (if you haven't already), go to 'Settings' -> 'Homescreen' -> 'Home screen layout' -> then select 'Sliding Panel Weather Colored Top Bar'. It'll make the homescreen do some erratic stuff at first, then it may go completely blank. After that point, reboot your phone and it should have the colored iconbar along with NRG's weather panel.

Imperial units on Text2

Hi Org! 3.0.2 works good!

Just one thing, text 2 shows everything in imperial units when European (metric) option is selected.

My settings are:

Layout option #5 HTC Normal Layout

WM7 Style glass panel

sorry i don't know how to make screen prints....

Thx, Max
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hey guys. The next version will include an option to update the clock panel with weather info. As far as the imperial units go... i will try to convert the info to celsius in the next version.
[HTC Excalibur] strongsteve:
If you could somehow fix the "incoming" thing, that would be friggin fantastic! Thanks for all your wonderful work with this app.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
It's wrote in the weather.mscr, look at that and delete those lines from it and no more incoming message. I don't understand what its there for anyway.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Yea, i spoke with outerdepth about this last night. Talking about ideas and options for this.
