Great plugin! I'm using this on a WM6.1 Tornado.

It's really an application... as it doesn't "plugin" to anything really :)

A few comments:

1) MiniWeather changes the font of the default clock. It looks bolder and more block-like after installing this plugin. Can that be fixed so the font doesn't change from the default?

That all depends on what the "default" font is. That always depends on on the ROM that's installed on the phone. For Excaliburs(and what this application is designed for that's "Nina". If you don't like the font, go find p5day.cpr and p5daylcd.cpr and open them up in Notepad. Look for the word Nina in the time section and change it to .. "Segoe" or whateve other font you'd like to use :)

2) The current day weather icon is too large. It intrudes on the next day forecast.

Really ? It looked fine when I designed it. Shoe me a screenshot please.

3) The text of the forecast plug-in stretches off screen (at least on my Tornado). I can only see 1 or 2 digits of the Lo/Hi temps. Either the text size or the weather icon size needs to be decreased.

There's probably a layout problem... Is your Tornado a 240x320 device.. or... smaller ?

4) I think the background should be more transparent, like the 6-day portrait plugin on NRG Weather 3.1.

Eh... I'll think about it :) I've been meaning to make it an option with 4-5 degrees of transparency that are user configurable.

5) Can you add the "Reset home Screen" option to MiniWeather? It's annoying to have to reboot the phone for layout changes.

I will. I kind of miss it on my phone myself. Heh

THANKS for all the hard work! It's a great plugin.[/QUOTE]
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You didn't do anything wrong. Weather.com is acting up and although I tried to fix it, there's nothing I can but work around their server problem... :(
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Here's an update to address some of the latest issues.

Things added:

- Option 11 in advanced options to reset your homescreen.

- Display "NA" icons in extended forecast days when the forecast was not able to be downloaded, instead of nothing.

- Some more connection checking options that will hopefully get rid of the %50 problem (but don't count on it).

question

NRG I have been using this for a few days and I love it. I upgraded from 3.1 to this I did uninstall 3.1 first but my home screen my panels are still blue is there a way to clear that out?
[HTC Excalibur] theotherrogue:
I made a lot of changes to the default pfat5day.cpr file.

The background is completely transparent, the main weather icon is a litter smaller, and all the text was moved around just slightly. Try it out and let me know what you think. Feel free to modify and use it however you want.

Custom pfat5day.cpr attached w/ screenshot
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm... the only way to do that is to replace bronzeres.dll with the original one. To do that, you would need chome weather installed. OR if you're savvy enough use the attached zip file to extract the dll and install it in \windows on your phone, overwriting the one already there :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Looks cool, but I prefered my background behind it, showing juuust a little bit at least. But I will incorporate your changes in the next release :) Thanks!

I just don't spend enough time on the portrait layouts since it's a PITA for me to do with the emulator... :) It's what I get for being too nice and trying to accomodate more smartphones than just the Excaliburs ;) hehe
[HTC Excalibur] theotherrogue:
Sweet. The background is definitely just a personal preference.
[HTC Excalibur] theotherrogue:
NRGZ28,

You should create a post about this in the Tornado section. I saw that you did in the Vox section already.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Eh, my post in the Vox section got like ONE reply, so they're definitely not interested in cool stuff for their phones... lol

If you want you can start a thread in the Tornado section and link it here, I wont mind :)
[HTC Excalibur] cohiba420:
Thanks!

Nice work NRG! loving the app sir. Much appreciated!

:D
[HTC Excalibur] 1oddmanout:
This MiniWeather is fantastic; thanx. My repair shop wants to give me a BB Curve, but with 6.1 and this program, the Q9c is perfect!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
And there' more to come... I'm working on a system monitor with some nice graphic bars to monitor ram, battery, signal, etc... It'll look nice on your phone ;)
[HTC Excalibur] gottifour:
sounds sweet...thanks for all of your hard work!!
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Dude, it sounds Sweet!!

That sounds great. I look forward to seeing your new release. This is great. We are like one in the same. We take our old WM 6.0 ideas that worked but didn't look good at all since they're plain jane boring old WM6, make them work for 6.1 and get to take the glory. It's nice, isn't it?

By the way, you posted on my thread, that you are curious about the 50% fix. I will have a new cab in about 15 minutes or so, maybe less. Just download it. I know you know what to do from there.;)

We just need to test our cabs. I made one that has mortscript install, so we don't have to make that a separate install, and one without. The one without is good. We just want to test the one with it. Look for it in a couple of minutes.

Oh, yeah. Stupid me, I forgot to say, you totally have permission to use our fix for your code as well. Later, boy.

adjust location

How can I change the weather-location, which code must I use For Holland, Amsterdam?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Go to www.weather.com. Do a search for the area you want to have data for. If you get a match, your location code is in the link. It’s the part from “travel/local” to the “?” in the link. For example: With http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/NLXX0019?from=search_city NLXX0019 is the location code.

stuck monitors

So I was testing out some custom panels that I made on my phone and had to do multiple soft resets , when all of a sudden the two monitors got stuck , By the way I've been running nrgz mini weather 1.1 for a while and never had a single problem with any of my modz interfiering . So now my battery monitor is stuck at 100% and the mem. monitor is stuck at 13M. I've tried rebooting the phone, taken the battery out and let it sit for a bit, power the phone down and let it sit for about a half an hour, restart it and nothing. I also reinstalled the cab file that was in my phone for it , and it said it removed the previous version before installing itself, but even after doing that and having to rearrange the panels the way I had them , reset the weather options an do an update on the weather, the monitors are still not working, it won't even change between the slim layouts. :confused: Any thoughts NRG ?

Ok so I uninstalled the app , deleted the cab off my device, drop a fresh cab and started over. got everything set up and the monitors weren't showing, but since I was still setting things up I didn't think nothing of it, the moment I switched to a different .cpr to change the font, the frozen monitors came back. Can the problem somehow be on the .cprs?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Try launching monitor.exe manually with file explorer. Then check your screen :)
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
Thank's NRG that got them to move, and the battery one seems to be working fine , but the ram monitor it doesn't like before. If I were to open opera it would drop down ,now it barely moves. I'll let you know if anything changes. :D
[HTC Excalibur] destombes_chris:
Adaptation for small screens

I installed on a breeze smartphone (240 x 320), and it's working great.

I had to play around with the .cpr, but it's almost done.

Just a question :

The title for the 10 days panel is "weather forecast" for the condensed one. Could this be the info displayed in the testui plugin condensed, for example : "fair - 11°C" ?

This way, we could have all info with one panel. On small screens, space is precious...

Anyway, thanks for the job !
[HTC Excalibur] s1l3nt:
dis app is awesome my dad wants da battery icon on sliding panel theme but he can use the weather app cause he dosnt have an unlimited data plan is there like a cab plugin for da battery icon on sliding panel
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
You should've mentioned that it was 'cause of the lack of unlimited data plan, and I would've told you last night that he can just install the weather app, go to advanced settings and disable the autoupdate and he could use the monitors and just update manually when he wanted to check on the weather. Also this app uses very little data to update, NRG will tell you, if he's concern about his bill, he shouldn't get much of an increase using it.
[HTC Excalibur] hogskinsdisease:
Just want to say great app!!! Thank you for your hard work.

Edit: Rebooted the phone again and my 10 day forecast is now showing. But I have another problem now. I noticed my fav apps panel that I created with Chome configurator was no longer showing. So I went into Chome and saw that that panel was hidden and chose to show it again and moved it up above Mymusic panel. That showed my fav apps panel, but I lost the 5 day forcast and battery monitor panel. Do I have to reinstall to fix? Can I not have my created panel as well? Thanks!

I just installed to my BJII and everything seems to function correctly except the forcast panel. It continues to say "Push center button to update" even though I already did update. I immediately rebooted and then put in my zipcode and then updated after I installed the app. Thanks for the help.

Errors related to NRG Chome Mini Weather App.

First, I'd like to say this is on a samsung omnia. Next:

I downloaded the weather app with the monitor. I installed it on the device and not the storage card. It didn't work, so I unstalled it. Later I found out that this was for HTC and I'd been a bit too grabby with the CABs trying them out.

After uninstalling the application with the Remove Programs program in the System Settings, I get error messages popping up under very specific circumstances.

These errors only pop up when the phone isn't plugged into a charger and the phone is coming out of a standby or turning on. If the phone is plugged in, no errors show up.

Here is a screenshot I've taken of the two errors. Help please! These errors are driving me crazy.

I'm running v1.3 on the Rose rom, but don't want the battery and ram monitors running. I edited the CPR to take them off my homescreen without a problem, but don't know how to get monitor.exe to stop running.

Anyone know of a way to turn 1.3 into a monitor-less version to save resources? I'm not afraid of editing the registry or file system... just need to know what to edit. My understanding of Mortscript is null, but I have some experience in writing batch files (years ago) and think I could edit the relevant files if given an idea which to edit...oh, and I tried getting Mortscript 4.2 and 4.3b running on my pc, but wasn't able to... any help with that would be great too...
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
So I removed the "Monitor" folder as well as monitor.exe and monitor.mscr... I then used SK Tools to clear out the notifications.

Anyone know if this is all that needs to be done to "convert" MW v1.3 into a "monitor-less" version?

Edit: Ok, so I still got an error about launching monitor.exe. Turns out there was one registry entry calling the program...? Anyway, deleted that entry and am hoping that's it. It would be great to hear from the man who created the program...

Edit2: Still got an error, but it was referencing monitor.mscr. Couldn't find anything in the registry, but checked the dcheck and weather mscr files. Sure enough, weather.mscr calls monitor.mscr. Deleted the call and that fixed it!
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
I'm not sure if anyone has had this issue before, I searched this thread and didn't find anything regarding it. I switched layouts on the mini weather 1.1 and the weather icon(sun,moon,clouds) on the clock panel, looks oval and like is being squished, how do you fix it?

Nevermind, I played with the .cpr a bit and got it looking good. I love this app.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Has anyone noticed that their network connection stays on long after an update and doesn't automatically turn off?
[HTC Excalibur] michedenhaag:
ow ow stupid me!

stupid me installed this cab on winmob 6.1 (dont ask me...i just saw the pictures and wanted some nice weather). Well... as you can understand no weather was found after install.

However, after uninstalling the application, i get annoying popups that says it can't find the Chome programfolder. its very annoying. Like there's a little program still installed that wants to open the 'deleted files'.

DOes anyone have a clue where to find and delete this invisible task?

thnks
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Yes, I know exactly how to fix this issue, and it's very simple... but I won't tell you because it's been asked and answered numerous times and you'd know this if you had used the SEARCH.
[HTC Excalibur] michedenhaag:
:( Ofcourse I read the messages referring to this problem. But, I'm quite a newbee in this and I'm affraid to make it more worse than it is now. I saw your workaround in particular, but removal of the weather.mscr files will result in a popup calling 'cant find that file' ...I really dont know what to do.

so please :)
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
My workaround was for an unrelated modification that I made to NRG's app.

What you need to do is download SK Tools (preferably the Lite version) and remove the notifications that are still in your system pertaining to the weather application.

Hello,

i have the new samsung c6625 and installed this v1.2 version:

Regular version for any device, without the monitor

On my q9h and sgh-617 this versions works perfect, but on the new samsung

the weather icon's are not show on the clock panel. The install proceed without error.

The forcast panel also working, but i have a new panel with a red big icon.

Please see pics, what can i do ?

cheers
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Interesting problem, but I wouldn't expect much in the form of support. I don't think the author of this program is familiar with your phone, and the app certainly wasn't written for it.

However, have you tried changing to the Weather Sliding Panel homescreen and doing a soft reset?
[HTC Excalibur] lccurtis1:
NRGZ28 I just purchased a dash a few weeks ago, and today I downloaded your weather app and I really think it is awsome. I did have an issue with it freezing when I chose "sliding panel with colored top bar" I had to reboot the device. I am running WM 6.1 just to let you know otherwise I really like the app. Thanks for working hard to get this out to the masses.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Minor issue... the reason I delayed in updating to 1.2 was that the small temp displays were less visible in 1.2, but I took the plunge anyway.

However, I have been seeing various screenshots of home screens running 1.2 where the temp displays have a blue background that make visibility so much better. Mine still has a dark/black background. How do I get the blue background behind the temp display?? Do I have to switch to the mini weather with the battery/memory icons?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Never mind.... it's showing now. I wonder why I never noticed it before. Does it only show at certain times??

Meh... at least it works.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
And... now it's gone again. Hmmmm.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Um...yeah, lol. During the DAYTIME, it's blue. At NIGHTTIME it's black/grey.
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
I had considered that at first, but it has been gray during the day also... just how it is now.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Try digging around in the weather.mscr and see what the code tells you. On mine, the background is blue during the day and switches to grey an hour or so after sunset.

[HTC Excalibur] Vicntc:
Hello NRGZ28,

I have an HTC S621 on Rogers network (Canada). It has been updated to WM6.1 (from Wm5).

MiniWeather seems to be working just great except for one area and I was wondering if you might have some insight into resolving it (I did search first but either I didn't use the correct words or it's an oddity note posted previously).

The 10 day forecast screen doesn't seem to be following the date change e.g. if I update on Friday night then check the screen on Saturday morning, it still shows Fridays data. I've tried the "repaint home screen" option but it doesn't seem to have any effect. If I reboot, the screen is correct but, as you can imagine, rebooting after each weather update is not high on the list of viable solutions.

Any suggestions/fixes/questions?

Thanks in advance.

thanx

thanx you, it work :D

[HTC Excalibur] lethonomia:
I have the same problem with my Samsung Jack i637 as altuswire. I've tried both ODShow's weather app and NRG's mini weather. Both have the same problem, the clock panel doesn't display the current coniditions, in fact pretty much nothing at all changes on the clock panel. I'll post some screen shots in a bit when I can get to a windows box.

Here's the screenshots of the my main panel and the forecast panel.
[HTC Excalibur] wulfie66:
does this work on the new cooked WM 6.5? I'm thinking about upgrading from 6.1, but don't want to loose my weather ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Altuswire:
My screen pretty much is identical to lethonomia's. Clock panel doesn't change and I ended up with an extra panel.

Lethonomia, what icons are you using for your message center? Those look cool.
[HTC Excalibur] lethonomia:
Those are from Rinku's IconBar, a search should get you a bunch of links.

I think the battery indicator is a little wonky, that might be related to the problems with NRG Weather. My best guess is that the our phone is interpreting the XML in the chome files a little differently then the previous Blackjacks.
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
hmmm... it could be that there is another secerity block there. but i wouldn't think so.

the cpr file you posted is the default one, can you post the weather cpr one that your using (or trying to use), so i can take a look.

EDIT!!! ok i looked at the cabs and i think it's not displaying cause of the different cpr files. look for CHome_320x240.cpr in your windows directory, and rename that to SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr. i'm thinking that might be your problem.
[HTC Excalibur] lethonomia:
Woohoo! Thanks! That did the trick, the main panel is now displaying the current conditions.
[HTC Excalibur] Altuswire:
I changed the registry key to use Chome as the cpr file. It's working, just editing the cpr file to get items shifted on the clock like I want them.

I used Chome Configurator to add a panel (screen 1) but it seems unaffected by any changes made to Chome_320x240.cpr, icon placement/size, and text position. Is there a section in the cpr that sets the defaults for new panels? (screen 2)

Thanks for your help Dermann :)

Update: figured it out! Default panels were controlled by the OperatorServices section in the cpr file. Looks great now!
[HTC Excalibur] SoCalSpecialist:
this is def gonna be added to the list of apps to go on my Ozone.

thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] lethonomia:
Altuswire, what was the reg key you altered? that sounds like a better long term solution then just renaming the file.
[HTC Excalibur] Altuswire:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome

Change CPRFile from SlidingPanel to CHome
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
That registry change does get the "Current" conditions to work in the clock panel.

But, I can not get the weather panel to display at all - the chomeconfig app has the "WelcomeCenter" listed in red and won't let me edit it at all.

Any other tips on getting miniweather 1.x working on WM 6.5's sliding panel?
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
So far, this is the only weather CHome app that works on my Sprint Snap (s511).

Very nice to have finally!

This should work on the Verizon Ozone, which I'll be testing hopefully next week.
