The 50% problem is definitely a weather.com server issue. Their database is probably crashing, which is what a 500 error usually means :)

Soooo.... to avoid this in the feature, I signed up for a developer account at weather.com and will be changing the entire weather parsing code in chome mini weather 1.0 :) I might even share the new subroutine for you guys to use in your script, since my app and yours are... 99.9% identical :) :D
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I'm not sure on the 50% prob, because AT&T and wifi never fails to update. It only seems to be when used with tmobile gprs. Has anyone had problems when not using tmobile gprs?

Let us know how the new feed goes, and if it helps with the 50% issue. I've been checking out some new feeds also and will let you know what I come with.:)
[HTC Excalibur] Ryanmo5:
Hey outerdepth just installed the cab and it works to perfection now. This is truely amazing work by you guys thanks alot!!! My phone runs nice and smooth with it too hasen't slowed down one bit.
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Good to Hear

Glad it's working perfectly. We are working on some new updates as I said, and with these cutomizations, I feel like we can make this app even better. I am happy to hear that you have no probs. Other than the 50% issue, I have heard no probs from anyone.

Thanks everyone, we will keep churning this out as fast as we can!!!

By the way, I have done some more research into the prob, and it is most definitely a T-Mobile error. This problem ONLY occurs when on the T-Mobile Edge network. So, word to the wise, if you are on T-Mo, it is most definitely crashing with the weather.com server. I think we have pinged the site too much!! LOL!

I am working on trying to figure out a new database. This is turning out to be more of a task than anticipated, so bare with me.

As God as my witness, I will either contact the powers at be, use a new feed for weather, or shoot a lightning bolt out of my arse, I will get this fixed ASAP.

Sorry about the hangups, but be looking for the newest release due out this weekend. It will have some new, fun options to add. :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Im looking forward to the 50% fix... one thing, tho... after awhile, the changing text in the top left hand corner will just stop and say T-Mobile. Is it supposed to stop after awhile?
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
yes

To give the short technical answer, our app tells the phone to write text to the registry location where your operator information is displayed in the clock panel. So, to achieve a loop of texts, we just tell it to write to the regitry the phrase "insert your phrase here" , then we tell it to wait 2 seconds, then write "new phrase here", we do this multiple times , then tell it to repeat itself. This gives you the effect of a scrolling loop of texts!!

That being said , since it hangs at 50%, the program never finishes running, therefore it never starts the loop again, since we kill the loop at the beginning of the update process, so we can display the lines 10%,30%.... and so on.

The program is hanging at 50%, THANKS T-MOBILE!!!!, so we can never get to the end of our update program, thus the updated loop NEVER gets to start again.

We are working on this as we speak. Hope you followed what I just said, I know it was "wordy", but I just want to be thorough. By the way, did you ever get that app I sent you?
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
I did..and thanks for your hard work! I will need to get with you about how to set a hotkey...Im a whiz at motorola modding, but a n00b in this arena...
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Added updated KPWeather and KPWeatherOptions scripts to post #2. Thanks to NRG for the narrative find. You can now turn forecast panel on or off from options page. When forecast panel is off it will skip this part of update. :)
[HTC Excalibur] goboi:
As far as the MortScript being separate- should this be installed prior to or after running the cab?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah well let's not celebrate too early I guess :( It turns out the first part, where it gets the 10day forecast, doesn't work properly either. So it wasn't ONLY the narrative part that errored out... :( Oh well, lets just hope this goes away after a while. PocketWeather and a couple of other weather apps use this url for their reports, so I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
It'd be great if NRGZ28 or showaco or Outerdepth could come up with some sort of ECC (error correction code) that would detect a non-completed updated process and then force a new update 5 minutes after the failed attempt and to have a retry threshold of 5 retries and then to disconnect the internet connection and retry again 1 hour after that if after 5 retries, it still doesn't update completely. I'm not sure if mortscript has that ECC option.
[HTC Excalibur] TorAll:
I'm install .cab and replace two .mscr files.

Now, look at Alert:

KPWeatherOptions

There is no application assotiated with "KPWeatherOtions". Run the application first and then open this file inside the application

What should I do?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Sounds like you need to install the mortscript cab which is the app needed to make it all run. Also, the two replacement are not needed with latest cab which is now posted. Xda was screwed up yesterday and I couldn't delete post#2.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
i need to ask nrgz28 if he will be nice enough to combine mortscript into the .cab for us. I've tried doing this the exact same way he's done his .cabs, but for some reason when it's done that way, the same thing happens as the guy 2 posts above when trying to run the KPWeather app.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Something i've observerd over the last 24 hours.... the updating issues of hanging ( at least in my area) seems to have been solved on it's own.... can anyone else confirm this in their area?
[HTC Excalibur] pyo:
just installed it, looks great guys.

i cracked up at the text you guys put in while waiting for the homescreen to change. classic.

EDIT: Oh btw, the update worked just fine for me. I'm on AT&T
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Great to here its all running good and yeah, I think the weather.com issue has something to do with tmobile gprs because I never seen the issue with att or wifi.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
for the weather panel, (not the home screen with clock) I guess the detailed forcast one, I have a big x icon..when I look at the registry its pointing to

\Program Files\NRG\CHomeWeather\htcicons\30.png and that folder doesn't exist. the only one is the \Program Files\Outerdepth\KPWeather\htcicons\.png any suggestions?

TxCaesar

PS, love you guy's work over here at XDA!!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Mortscript doesn't unfortunately :( BUT you can put a couple of routines in there to try to catch at least some of the errors that could happen. I did that with MiniWeather by trying to connect to weather.com first and if it fails, write some generic "3200" icons for the day conditions and try again in 15 minutes. Same thing happens if you're on a phone call... But more detailed error checking is a welcome idea and I will definitely incorporate more in MiniWeather. OD and showaco are welcome to download miniweather, look through the code and put it in their version :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Gee... I wonder why it's looking for an icon and the path name contains "NRG" in it... hehe :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I think you're right... Tmobile's EDGE suuuuucks!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I can do that... Why dont you guys download miniweather or something, take out all my files, except mortscript, and then drop yours in ?!:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
I miss having the weather on my phone...But its useless until the 50% thing gets worked out..... I wish I had the know-how to help.

The download currently is just the cab...NO mortscript file
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Hey, you want to try something for me? I got an idea I'd like to try, I'll be home in about 20 min and will put something together real quick if your interested. Let me know.:D
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
sure...the newest version just errored out and wont start...I installed mortscript and all...

Actually, im wrong, must have been a hiccup...

But heres something neat...I am using NRGs Colibri font CAB file, and the main weather panel is just scrolling test at the top of the window. Its understated, but really nice! I kinda like it!
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Don't know what version u are running? I checked all of my codes and can't find any NRG related anything. I don't know what to say.

I posted a new code. Check the link in post #1
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Yeah, the text loop replaces network id logo even if weather cpr for clock panel isn't selected from options. It also shows on the phone call screens.:D

Hey, got OD helping me, if it works out we'll get it posted up.
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Actually...its updating fine right now. Blew right past the 50% mark, and all is well. Dont fix what isnt broke, right?

(what am I copying? I dont see anything)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
actually, only every 8 updates runs the 50 stuff so it may show again in alittle bit. Sorry, didn't post but OD is helping and we'll post when we get it working. Thanks for offering though.:)
[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
Its all good... and Ill be happy to test whatever you need.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
I was running what I thought was the most recent one, Show pm'd me on my site. I will just uninstall and reinstall and see what happens.

by the way depth, I got a Site admin position over at my forum if ever youre interested! :-)
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Hey Everybody, Fixed the 50% Problem

In about an hour (cause i gotta make the new cab, and test it), I will post a NEW CAB.

This one FIXES THE 50% HANGING PROBLEM!!!!!

Just thought, you all might like to know.

Posse out.
[HTC Excalibur] txcaesar:
Sounds good! BTW, if you want some hosting space, I'll give you access to my ftp over at TxCaesar mobile if you want...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
How did you fix it ?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
thanks, hey did the red x's go away after 8 updates? We fixed that so it want be a problem anymore, but it should've went away for you after it ran the full update.:D Now the full update runs on very first update and then every 8.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Give us a few, we're testing it but so far so good. As soon as we're 200% sure, we'll let you know.:)
[HTC Excalibur] brada55306:
uninstall issue

hello first of all i want to say this is an awesome application. I uninstalled it because I was cleaning up some space on my q9c, and noticed that now in my clock panel I have a red X next to my Sprint carrier designation on my clock panel, is there a way to correct this issue? Has anyone uninstalled this application on a Sprint Q9C and had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated, keep up the good work!
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
No problem, easy fix!!

I have the answers for which you seek.

First, I have to mention that we have a new updated post #1!!! Fixed the 50% hanging issue.

2nd if you have uninstalled our app, just edit your reg to say

2050;2050. This will bring the icons back. If you are having trouble with this, just open your registry explorer and navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clock and edit the iconpaths. Also, got to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Clock and edit the iconpaths to what I stated above.

If you have CHomeConfigurator installed, just go to the clock panel and edit the icons for it. That's it.

Hope this fixes yours and anyone elses install problem.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
deleted post
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
OKay... so I take it the link in your first post doesn't contain any update code to fix the "50%" issue... at least I don't see anything different....
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
No

No, dude. It is updated. Just click on the link. It works just fine.
[HTC Excalibur] TorAll:
Ok, download .zip, install mortscript and reinstall ODSHOWeather. It work!

Some new questions:

How to switch layout back to slim?

Why I can't see Celsius at clock panel?

SShots:
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
can't do the slim

did you make sure you set up the options

make sure you chose C for temp units in the advance options, then reupdate
[HTC Excalibur] TorAll:
As You can see at screenshots, I set temp units "C"
[HTC Excalibur] idntknw:
A little help please...

I have uninstalled this but still have weather options for my right soft key...

How do i get it back to contacts?...

I went to personalize my Q and it says it should be contacts...

Any ideas?....
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
one of the weird thing i see going on is that my weather is updating every 30 minutes, not every hour. I know this becasue i have the .wav file enabled and it plays "weather is now updated" around :08 and :38 past the hour. Do you know how to make it just to this every hour? I wouldnt mind it for 30 minutes but we call know that the weather from the rss is only done every hour and every 30 minutes is just a waste of time.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Yeah, towards the top of the kpweather.mscr, there is timestamp() + 1800. Change that to timestamp()+3600 for 1 hr updates. I set it for 30 because yahoo update times for my location showed updated at :15, :35, and :55 past the hour(so every 20 min). I'm not sure why mine is different here for waco,tx but it seems to be not set to 1 hr. Anyone as to why or something similiar?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
ok, i was going to do that, but i wasnt sure if i had 2 sets of notifications by mistake.
[HTC Excalibur] wannabegt4:
I must be doing something wrong because I can't find how to turn on the extra panel with the detailed forecast information as is shown in the screenshots. I'm probably just being retarded and missing it but if someone can give me a little help it'd be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
can anyone (showaco or OD) tell me how to edit any or the bronzeres.dla files? what app do you use? i know it has to do with editing the images insied the .dla file , but how to you extract them and then re-inject them once you're done?
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Did you download the newest cab, sorry about that!!

If you need a screenshot from my phone, I will provide one for you, but my phone does change from F to C and the temps change to accomodate those values. I am sorry it isn't working for you. I even went through my old cabs and files to see if something was missing.

Just download and install the new cab posted in Post #1. You should just install it over the old one. This should fix your problem. Hope this helps, if not pm me and we will fix this error for you. Hope all luck is well for you. Later.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
No worries, mate

Go to your weather options. Where it says choose full or lite mode, choose full. Then update your weather. It should refresh you screen at the end of the update. Then, all of your second panel should display properly. Hope this helps. If it doesn't feel free to post, I will personally get this solved with you. I don't want any unpleased people out there.:)

Take it easy.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Easy, just do a reg edit.

All you have to do is use your registry editor.

Open up your reg editor, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clock and to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Clock. Both of these should have an entry for your SK2URL and SK2TEXT. Edit the text one to what you want it to say. For this purpose that would be contacts. Do it in both locations mentioned above. 2ndly, for the URL, enter the code for contacts. I think it is MSContacts. That should do it. Reboot your phone, and that will cover all grounds. If you have any more questions, please post here. I am glad to help, even if you uninstall my app.LOL;);)

Later!:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] kron2:
how to edit the bronzeres.dll file you have to unsign the file thin edit it with a program like pe explorer and thin resign it. What you do to unsign is,on the pc you go to the start menu and go up to run. Type "cmd". Using the command "cd c:\xxxx" (where xxx is the name of the folder you want to go to. go to the folder the unsigner.exe tool and bronzeres.dll is located in. It might be easier to move it to a simple folder name on the c drive and then just type "cd c:\folder name.

After that, just type "unsigner bronzeres.dll" and it will give you a message saying it removed the certificate after you edit the bronzeres.dll with your changes resign it to resign just hit siggner.exe and select file and start sign process

make shore you have a COPE of the bronzeres file just so you can go back to just set the theme to a none slide theme and drop it in the windows folder or you can make a cab

if you need help just shout

here is the unsigner.exe and siggner.exe i did not make them or no who did
[HTC Excalibur] yameen1:
Mine is still hanging at 50%. I have a Verizon Q9c. Any help would be great, thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Do me a favor, next time it runs and hangs at 50%, look at your iconbar and let me know if your data connection was cancelled. If it was, I've got a fix for you.:D By the way, has anyone else had the 50 issue with new cab and if so, what type of phone and carrier do you have?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Hey Pudge, if you still need any help after Kron2's help, OD handled all of our dlls and should be able to help you also.:)
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
New Post: No Need To Install Mort Or Regs Anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool:I have finally figured out, like a cracker jack i must say, how to get the regs and the mortscript to install with our cab. If you have already got this installed perfectly and running, then no need to download this. This is tested.

Otherwise, if you have any issues or problems, OR have not installed our app previously, then install the link in the updated post #1. It will solve all your problems. Oh, yeah, please check out the new glass panels in the options and the NEW ADD WAVE FILE as an advance option. IT is supercool. PEACE!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
The font for the options isn't legible at all on my dash. Its cursive and way too small.

It steals the right soft button from the CClock

It's own right soft button is in all caps

in the CClock, its not friendly with something else taking that space (ex. activate wifi)

doesn't do a complete uninstall. on restart, i get an error about a missing exe. the .lnks are still present in programs...
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Sorry you don't like it, BROTHER.

Sorry you didn't like the app as much as the countless others. We will continue to improve on the layout as well as functionality of this app!

You would rather have the soft key for the forecast panel look like the soft key for the CLOCK. Ok, we will look into the general consensus. Thanks for the input.

As far as the cursive goes, I don't follow. I have no cursive fonts installed. I don't have any poor looking screen. I would LOVE to see a screenshot, please post one. Then maybe I could figure out how you have a font running that I didn't even install!!(LOL)

Finally, I am still new to the whole cab writing process. I will figure out soon how to remove the links upon uninstall. I must add though, you wouldn't have this last problem, if you just ran the app.:p

Thanks for your remarks. All suggestions are completely appreciated. Thanks so much, I hope some of your requests make it into our next post!

Later.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] TorAll:
Yes, with CAB v.1.0.2 it fixed.

Only one small bug :D in text
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's not the application's fault your fonts are ugly. You have non standard fonts installed and other applications (like Opera Mini) will do the same thing.. display strange fonts. Delete the extra fonts you installed, and everything will be fine.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
We will relasee an updated options tonight that will let user switch right soft key between 3 options: Contacts, weather Options, and Weather Update. Anyone wanting this option should check back sometime after 10 PM cst.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
hey showaco, is there a way for the weather options, or weather update to start when you press the middle button on the d-pad? I use smarttoolkit so i don't use the right-soft key option and when i middle press the d-pad button it goes to clock & alarm. I tried creating a dword named "ACTIONURL" in CClock (both in hklm software and hklm security) and pointing it to \program files\Outerdepth\KPWeather\KPWeather.mscr , but it still goes to clock & alarm.
[HTC Excalibur] wannabegt4:
Still not seeing it. Does it require the CTestUIPlugin? CHome Configurator shows that panel as red when I choose to show it. I'm using the Da_G 6.1 Beta 2 for my Blackjack i607.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] wannabegt4:
Ok it showed up after I reinstalled 1.0.2 but when I use CHomeConfigurator to move the panel up it disappears. There is also a bug when trying to change the play wav option. I think the call to the subroutine is misspelled.
[HTC Excalibur] tf442:
It is working fine on my Excalibur

It is so nice to have it updating just as it should. Great app and now I'm not frustrated from the lack of up to date information.

What are you two going to do next?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
As for as I know, there is no way to add an actionurl to cclock, I tried as well. But if you're using smart toolkit, you could set a hot key.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
We are currently looking for an up to date feed that's not an hr behind. As soon as we can we will change it.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Its good that it showed up and as for as chome config, I'll have to check into it. The other bug for the wavs, I also noticed a little while ago(I installed the new cab also). We'll release an updated options later tonight that should fix that.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Yea, i already have a hotkey set to update it. I was just curious about the other way. Anyway, thanks for your response.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
An idea that mikey brought to my attention that was very valid. When this app is uninstalled, it leaves the same entries in the registry that mess with the default icons in the clock panel. In addition, the .cpr file remains the super fatty and doesnt revert back to the default .cpr file.

I had an idea that you guys either need to make an option to at least "set back to defaults" so people can select it proir to uninstallation. or create a separate .cab that installs the default .cpr file and also changes the clock and alarm icon in the registry back to default. I'd be more than happy to collaborate on this and make a .cab if you want me to.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I don't know much about the cabs, but isn't there a way to have the cab backup that info on install and then put it back on uninstall without having a second cab? I thought that I'd seen this before, maybe NRG could share some insight because I think his works this way, at least the cpr part anyway.
[HTC Excalibur] nickydash:
Can someone please help! I love the app but cannot stand the huge beefy sliders, is there anyway to make them back to default size i hate this...and in options is say use full or lite mode but i cant click lite, please help!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
In your new cab... there's still a lot of references to \program files\nrg\chomeweather in case you missed them. Also, you can probably wipe out a lot of the option keys under the settings branch, stuff like "CPR", "LastUpdate", "UpdateHS" that was leftover from NRG Chomeweather and obviously isn't used in your version...:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] nickydash:
that still dosent answer my question am i stuck with obnoxious oversized panels or can i go back to defualt because if my text is gonna be huge like this and the tabs than **** it the prgoram isnt worth the whole style of my phone ill go back to nrg if htats the case now can someone answer can i change the size of the panels?
