On the clock panel; does ccond.png ever change? I know it show's sun w/clouds during the day and moon at night. Is that normal, or should it be changing like the other icons?

I checked weather.mcr and at the time I checked, it copied 4.png to ccond.png but nothing changed on the clock panel. Also on the 5-day forecast panel, I get a big 'X' for the graphic. What am I doing wrong here.
[HTC Excalibur] bobmonster:
Did this work on the sliding media panel or the HTC Home?

Hey NRGZ28, looks like WMExperts is giving your weather app some props. Congratulations! :)

Is there a 1.3 release that only has the weather and not the monitor? Fan of the weather, not so much of the monitor.

I installed NRG MiniWeather 1.2 on my Touch Diamond (internally memory) but cant find the program anywhere to congifure it nor do I see it on my home screen. Any ideas what happened?

thanks

[HTC Excalibur] Tritan88:
Is there still the chance that this will get updated to work with the 6.5 rom?

MiniWeather will only work on WinMo Standard devices not Professional (touchscreen) devices.

NRG MiniWeather for WM Standard - Pretty Awesome

Found this article on 4WinMobile about this app just thought I would pass it along pretty cool when I accidentally ran across it...pretty cool NRG..you are everywhere!
[HTC Excalibur] bobmonster:
When i Run it on HTC Home for my HTC Snap, the dates commonly dissapear, any way of fixing that? and any way of showing the name of the city which weather is being displayed, kind of like the standard program on HTC Home?

Newby needs help!

I have a new AT&T HTC Fuze. I just installed the Regular(HTC) + RAM&Battery monitor version and rebooted my phone.

I now see a dark grey row above my clock with a small AT&T logo on the right side. I do not see the weather anywhere on the today screen and I can't find NRG MiniWeather anywhere in my program list to configure.

Any help getting this software configured would be appreciated!

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] ninjaap:
Won't work on your Fuze. This app is for WM 6.1 standard only.
[HTC Excalibur] NJFuze:
Thanks - Oh well - looks like a fantastic app!

....so I just removed the app and rebooted and I get two error msgs on reboot telling me:

Cannot execute \program files\prg\chomeminiweather\weather.exe

Cannot execute \program files\prg\chomeminiweather\monitor.exe

How do I stop the phone from trying to run the now uninstalled program???

(it's a pain being new to WM....I can take my PC apart - hardware and software, but am too new to WM to know my way around yet)
[HTC Excalibur] mellojoe:
Got it working on my Samsung Jack.

A really nice weather app. As good (if not better) than the one that I actually paid money for (which I'm now regretting).

((edit))

I'm playing with the cpr file to get it exactly the way I want it. Superb app.
[HTC Excalibur] zeke009:
I have this working now as well on my Samsung Jack, thanks to this thread and mellojoe's help (and patience).
[HTC Excalibur] mskovrinskie:
Can you summarize the steps to get it to work on the Jack?
[HTC Excalibur] mellojoe:
You may need to have App unlocked your JACK. Search for ClearSecurity.cab. After you have app unlocked the phone, uninstall the SOTI program. It drains batteries insanely fast. Once you uninstall that, you will get your battery life back.

Secondly, what I had to do for the weather program, was to use CHome Configurator and do two things.

#1) Hide the two non-working panels.

For some reason two panels in CHome Configurator were showing in red as non-working. I forget what they were called.

#2) Change the registry entry CPRFile found in "HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome" from SlidingPanel to CHome.

This is telling it which cpr file to use. It is looking for SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr but the weather program is saving all the changes into CHome_320x240.cpr. What I actually did is I made a new file called SlidingPanelWeather_320x240.cpr and copied CHome into it. Then I changed the registry entry of CPRFile to SlidingPanelWeather and it took care of the rest.
[HTC Excalibur] wulfie66:
quick question...since I'm a huge weather freak, does this work on wm 6.5 ev0 build? ;)
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
i've wondered the same thing, i would think so after some tweaks to the cpr and such. i'll give it a try later this week.
[HTC Excalibur] wulfie66:
I know the digi clock works, but uncertain about the hero clock/weather
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
on 3vo 6.5

wow! i wasn't really sure if it would work but, yes it does "after some adjustments to the cab that is". the only thing that is a little trouble some is, if you've already made a custom panel with the titanium config. the condensed line for the getting started panel won't show, but other than that. just some tweaking and it will... huh, maybe i'll have both of them for two different cities. lol

EDIT!!! the third pic is after editing. :D

EDIT2!!! ok, here it is. i was waiting to release this to the public until i felt like it was good enough. i was going to make one that was universal, so it didn't matter what 6.5 you used but i got lazy. ;) lol sorry.

oh, and keep in mind that when you use titanium config after installing this. it throws you an ERROR something about the registry. don't worry, it will still work. it will just ask you to reboot after every change you make. sorry i don't know what's causing that.

EDIT3!!! alright after some tweaking i've made it so it will refresh itself after each update, like how showaco's titanium weather will.

for 3VO 2.50+2.80

ingredients to make it work. settings\home screen\ Titanium Media Panel Weather=done.
[HTC Excalibur] mellojoe:
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the weather icons?

Should I just replace the png files in the folder \CHomeMiniWeather\icons or \CHomeMiniWeather\yicons? If so, which folder (icons or yicons)?
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
if you want you can do both, just try to make them the same size and back up the originals in case something happens.

Quick question about the homescreen panels for NRG MiniWeather and using CHome Config. I used CHome Config to remove the media and pictures panels, but this also removed the Extended Forecast panel for the homescreen.

Can someone help me, I'm kind of a noob in this.

I dont know what to do next, I dont see the application or a theme or something. I really want to have the weather on my main screen.

I have an HTC Touch Diamon 2 with an original ROM of HTC.

Pleaze help me!

Is there an application (CAB) file wich makes it possible to show the weather on the mainscreen on WM Professional 6.1? I dont want to flash my rom.

You could try SBSH PocketWeather.

However, you said you own a Touch Diamond 2... I know there is a today screen from HTC that already have weather. So...

Here are two ss of NRG 1.2 weather app, with member, Dermann's 6.5 theme on my BJ II (i617)...It updates and runs very smoothly! No need to reboot with any updates....!

Check 'his sig' for the links to his great looking 6.5 theme, running on Stock BJ II 6.1 ROM....

Ok....what I have just noticed is that my graphic (right underneath the temperature graphic is a blue, where as yours is clear/transparent?

No biggie at all, but am studying the ss carefully...lol

Possibly because I have installed NRG 1.2.....not NRG 1.2.1?

[HTC Excalibur] zeke009:
Doesn't the app use Yahoo Weather codes? I just went to Yahoo and entered Toronto, ON and this is the code: CAXX0504

I also went to weather.com and checked Toronto weather there and that same code was used. Try that or using the mailcode for your location.

I'm just guessing here. Hope that helps.

Hey it worked man thanks a lot, now i dont have to uninstall again thanks..:)

Hi all and thanks to NRG for his work.

Hi Dermann,

As I chatted with you (earlier), to inform you how pleased I am with your 6.5 theme on my BJ II (i-617), and with your tweaked NRG 1.2 Chrome_320x240.cpr file...with my unlimited data plan (AT&T), my weather app updates itself without any reboots, what exactely do the two options within Advanced section perform:

12) Reset Homescreen

13) Repaint screen

lol....?

Dam, to bad that I can not utilize the various WM 6.5 Titanium themes as this thread looks very cool!

APR 29][WM6.5] WM 7 Titanium Project - beta6.9

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=504716&highlight=Windows+7

I have these options (also within Advance setting section) set to 'y' for yes:

1) AutoUpdate (y)

2) Connect to data connection (y)

6) Check for connection before update (y)

Still not sure what this setting does (performs)

5) Use LCD fonts on Homescreen ??

:o
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
13) is suppose to refresh the home screen. 12) i'm not to sure, but i assume that it's associated with 13). i've tweaked the weather.mscr so that it refreshes regardless now, so now the repaint option is useless. this is for those of us that have problems with the refreshing after an update. i found it annoying that only one portion of my weather would refresh after the update and the other part wouldn't. as for 5) that one i have no idea... sorry.
[HTC Excalibur] buteo:
:confused:Something went wrong...

On update it complains about "script file not found...monitor.scr", then tries to refresh screen and ALL panels disappear, leaving the background alone...

I installed "Regular version for any device, without the monitor" MiniW version on a Samsung I600, guess it's the problem...
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
ok, this is my bad. i got the weather.mscr for the regular(htc) one, and i just assumed it would work with the other ones. i'll get the other ones and tweak them as well. the refresh thing, thats suppose to happen. thats my added tweak. however the panels are suppose to came back. i'll get the other ones out tonight.

P.S. what rom are you using, nokser 6.1 or 6.5?
[HTC Excalibur] buteo:
In the meantime I installed the HTC-monitor version, same behaviour, panels disappear on refresh, need to reboot to put them back on.
[HTC Excalibur] gahbmwm5:
Hi Dermann,

Thanks for your reply m8! I can not believe that I have not thoroughly reviewed the various Windows Theme section as there are soooo many creative works from our collective membership...lol

This thread caught my eye, but I am too lazy to 'give it a go' as it would more then likely mess up your nice work! NRG weather 1.2 app is updating nicely for me....

Reviewing how different the WM6.1 CHome_Panel Home screen is from the various WM 6.5 Titanium themes is a education in itself.....lol

Although my device has a QVGA_Landscape LCD (which in todays technology is quite dated.....lol) Looks like the author is utilizing a WM 6.5 HTC_based Rom on a Kaiser...

I think the problem is with CHomeRefresh.exe. It just deletes all panel from the background, even if I start it manually. After that I can change home screen layout from settings, but cannot turn back to "Sliding panel weather" before rebooting. Changing an option from CHome configurator has no effect.

Anybody has some ideas?

PS: I'm running WM 6.1 v.20 by Nokser on a Samsung i600 (320x240 landscape)
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
hmm... well i'm not going to say that it's not, cause i'm not the developer. however, i've tried it on a few others phones and it worked just fine. if i were going to say it was something, i would say it might be the the rom. but since i don't have a i600, and you do. your guess would be better than mine at this point. hope you or someone else can figure it out.
[HTC Excalibur] buteo:
seems to be solved...

Don't know how, don't know why, but it seems to work now. I used Chome configurator to hide and then show weather panel, and after saving ChomeRefresh update panels and make them show again.

Samsung Jack WM6.5 NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.2 display problem

I was one of the unfortunate individuals that upgraded to WM6.5 on my Samsung jack before researching that every application I was running in 6.1 would work, but who really does. I hope that a screen shot posting of what it looks like will help inspire others to create a fix. It probably just requires some tweaking of the SPWeather xml file but I have no idea how to do that. Any help would be much appreciated by all Samsung jack users.
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
hey, that good to hear man. glad you got if figured out. :)

Samsung Jack WM6.5 NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.2 graphic update problem

Alright it looks good but after an update the current temperature and weather graphic do not get updated on the clock panel. If I switch the Home screen layout from Sliding Panel Weather to Sliding panel Weather Colored Top Bar and back to Sliding Panel Weather the current temperature and weather graphic will change, but it does not happen on its own after an update. Also the forecast panel information will not change unless I go through this routine. Have you noticed this as well on your Samsung Jack is there something else I need to change? I do have Repaint screen set to Y

Any idea how to change the homescreen so that it doesn't seem "stacked" in the status bar? In previous posts, some have suggested that it's a size issue, but the background looks fine in every other sliding panel display but the Miniweather Panels. It looks as if it loads the wallpaper in the background, and then lays the wallpaper on top of itself in the weather panels (see screenshots) Thank you for any guidance, and also thank you for the cpr file tweak -- worked beautifully! (btw, I moved the alarm status indicator back behind the time [and larger]) ====> I changed the values to: <Image ID="Alarm" Left="162" Top="47" Width="24" Height="24" />

still on refresh issue

Hi all and happy new year!

--edit---

My apologies for not reading all previous posts... NRG pointed out that summary an detailed forecast panels are cannot be shown together, and CTestUIPlugin cannot be refreshed.

Please forget what I wrote and keep my best wishes only :-)

---TO BE DELETED----

I've been using miniweather 1.2 (no monitor) with Dermann's refresh patch on a Samsung I600 (Nokser's WM 6.1 2.0 ROM). Screen refresh after an update works only if CTestUIPlugin panel (wich holds forecast summary) is NOT shown. On a fresh miniweather install (forecast summary and detail panels shown) calling Chomerefresh causes a blank home screen until reboot.

Any other is experimenting this issue? Any ideas for troubleshooting?
