Hmmm... I was afraid of that. :-(

I guess first off, make sure that path exists in your registry. Hopefully you've got a registry editor by now. If any part of that path does not exist, create it.

THen, if that still doesn't work, try replacing the Feather.mscr with the attached one and run it. Make sure to copy your current Feather.mscr somewhere else before you do.

Oh, and I guess I should ask - have you app unlocked your device yet? If not, that might be all it is. Search for app unlock to get that...

Let me know,

THanks,

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
no progress

Thanks for helping me. Yes, my phone is app unlocked. I replaced the Feather.mscr with the one you sent, but still get the same error message. I have installed Total Commander, which supposedly includes a registry editor, but unfortunately I know nothing about registry editing and do not know if a "path" exists and how to create one if it does not.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
hmm. well, I'm only used to using Rescoe registry, but I imagine they're similar.

the HKLM stands for HKey Local Machine, so once you've got the registry editor open that's the first thing you'll click into. then, just click through each of the remaining items in the path; first go into System, then State, then Phone. now, look for an entry named Current Operator Name. if you don't see it, figure out how to create a new string value, and name it "Current Operator Name" (without the quotes). make the value whatever you like, perhaps just "test".

save it, if applicable, and exit. now, tri to update feather. if no go, try rebooting the phone once and updating again.

let us know, and good luck,

[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
registry editing

On further review, I have found the registry files in TC. There is a \registry\HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name. When I click on Current Operator Name, it says T-Mobile. I don't see anything about "Connecting to AccuWeather". Does that need to be written in somewhere?
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
okay. well, if that already exists then changing the value yourself won't help. seems like the Feather.mscr doesn't have the needed permission to change that value. coincidentally, its the first system value (meaning one NOT created by featherweather) in the registry that is getting written, which is why I suggested the app unlock. are you positive you app unlocked (with the utility found on this site) BEFORE you installed feather?

you could also try making sure mortscript is registered correctly. go into the FeatherWeathe folder in Program Files, and click on the MortScript.exe to run it. it should bring up a window saying some file types were correctly registered.

NOW try updating the weather. crossing your fingers, of course...

EDIT - I updated the mortscript file name, its MortScript.exe that you run to register mortscript.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I think notaliberal is correct, it must be a permissions issue. What did you use to app unlock? SDA Application Unlock? If your running a custom rom, then you probably don't need it. Mortscript is registered and running fine, otherwise it wouldn't run the script at all. Writing to Current Operator Name is a big part of feather, so if you remove those lines it would probably run, but you would be losing lots of weather info.
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
progress!

Thanks for sticking with me, Jeff and Showaco. I had app unlocked with SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab. I have been able to install some other programs, so I assumed it had unlocked OK. I reinstalled it and guess what, no more error message on Feather.

But I'm still not 100% there. I am seeing some scrolling textual weather info on the home page, but no graphics. The first line of the page says:

Wi-fi Off Winds(E) at 3/5/2009 3:12AM

The "Winds(E) at" part scrolls and changes to other weather info, but not the full line (Winds E at ???).

How do I get the graphics and the full line of text?

In Display Options>Set Feather Panel Location, it says Select an option, then push OK, but the only "option" I am seeing is Return to Options without changing.
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
problem with unlock?

I turned off the phone when I went to bed, and when I turned it back on the error message returned on Feather. I reinstalled SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab again, and Feather works for now (still just text, no icons).

Somehow the phone must be "relocking" evry time it is turned off. Maybe I should try the SDA Application Unlock you mentioned, if that is something different. Where to find it.
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
another problem

Now I get this:

An unexpected error has occurred in dlfile.exe.

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

This application requires a newer version of Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

My phone has the .NET that came with WM6.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
okay, this is getting weird.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a feather problem, or if perhaps you've got windows issues.

are you running WM6 or WM6.1? if you're on WM6, you should really consider making the switch. I forget which ROM I out on my dash, but I got it here and it runs awesome. that's for another thread though...

when I'm back at my computer though I'll zip up and post my cpr files and condicons to see if that helps your layout and display. I'm posting from my phone right now...
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Hi,

Well, here's the link to where I got the 6.1 ROM I'm using on my Dash. Might seem complicated, but it's really not if you read through everything first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=374890

If you decide to do this and have questions, please make sure to post them in that thread.

As for your layout and display, try dropping the files in the attached zip into your \Program Files\FeatherWeather folder. Back up the current ones first, as usual. Then run a full weather update and see how it looks.

Let us know,

Good luck,
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Oh, and here;s the SDA Application Unlock...

Try this, then if you still get errors reinstall feather. You can still use the files from my last post to make your display look right, if they work for you...

Good luck,
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
SDA

Thanks, Jeff. I see that SDA Application Unlock is an .exe, not a .cab. Is it installed the same way as a .cab?
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
YOu have to connect to your PC with ActiveSync and then run the .exe from the PC. It's pretty quick and easy. I dont' think it actually installs anything to the phone...been a while since I've used it...
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
OK, I installed the files you sent and ran SDA Application Unlock. Still looks the same, and still getting the dlfile error message. Despite the error message, the textual weather info is still scrolling.

Checked the phone and it seems it is running .NET Compact Framework version 2.0. I see there is a version 3.5 available. Could that be the problem?

I'm sure that WM6.1 is nice, but it does seem complicated and I'm a little afraid to try it. Everything seems to be working fine except for Feather. For example, Weather Watcher is installed and running OK. However, WW must be clicked to start it, and I was hoping to run Feather and get the weather right on the start page.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
I suppose it could be the .NET version. Might as well try it, don't think it'll hurt.

As for the layout, what homescreen are you using? Do you know the name of your cpr file? For instance, Feather is expecting it to be named CHome_320X240.cpr but on my shadow I'm using one named HTCSlidingPanels.cpr. So I had to edit that in the Feather.mscr and perhaps elsewhere. YOu can find out which one you're using by looking at your homescreen xml file located in \Application Data\Home and opening the .xml files with notepad. Look for the following part:

CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel"

that's the name (minus the .cpr) of the file in teh windows directory that your homescreen is using. You need to change the name of the file in Feather.mscr, as well as copy the from the windows folder into the FeatherWeather folder. That might explain why you're not seeing the icons, etc.

Keep us posted,
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
Downloaded 3.5 and it seems that the dlfile error message is gone, at least for now.

In the Feather folder, there are 2 cpr files: CHome_320X240.cpr and Fullscreen.cpr. I do not see a mention of either of these files in Feather.mscr.

In the Application Data\Home folder, there are several xml files: full.home, green.scheme, guava.scheme, largefont.home, simple.home, nomru.home, and livedefault.home. These seem to be for the various homescreens I can select in Settings. None of these appears to contain the CPRFileName line.

I changed my homescreen in Settings from T-Mobile Blue to some of the others, and most of the others provide the scrolling weather text on a separate line, easier to read, but still no graphics.
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Oh yeah, duh! Can't believe I didn't think of this. You'll never get the homescreen to look as it does in any of the screenshots from this thread, UNLESS you update to 6.1. All these homescreens are using what's called the "Sliding Panel" layout, which replaced the NEO homescreens from WM6.

This isn't to say you can't get the icons, etc to show the way you want them on whatever homescreen you ARE using, but I won't be able to help as I have none to reference. The Sliding Panels use a .cpr file to control the placement of everything on the screen, which is where you control where the icons are, where the weather test is, etc. Not sure where any of that goes in Neo. Maybe Showaco could help, but most users are running 6.1 now.

The upgrade is simple, you run the JumpSPL thing to unlock the phone, then the RUU_xxxxxxxx.exe to update while connected via ActiveSync. Man, the threaded test messaging alone was worth it for me!

Good luck, sorry I can't be of more help,

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
Thanks, I had a feeling Feather might need 6.1 to work properly. The installation of WM6.1 seems easy enough, but I see in the 51-page thread that quite a few folks have had issues. I'll probably give a try.

Sure do appreciate the help,

[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
Thanks, had a feeling Feather might need 6.1 to work properly. The WM6.1 seems easy to install, but I see several people have had issues with it. I'll probably give it a try.

Sure appreciate your help, good luck,

[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
OK

Any way to delete repetitive post?
[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
OK, successfully upgraded to 6.1 and then Feather worked with no problems. Nice!

Showaco, I'd suggest editing your top post to mention that Feather ONLY works with WM6.1.

Thanks again for the help and the app,

[HTC Excalibur] billdz:
And one more question...

Thought I had it all set up, but I can't figure out how to get all the weather info. I now have nice graphics on the start menu with the temp and other info, but I can't figure out how to get the full forecast, 5-day forecast, or radar.

I see from some of the screen shots that the right soft key should say Weather Options or Next Day, but mine just says Contacts. And I don't have a 1/6 slider like some of the other screenshots.

Any advice?
[HTC Excalibur] Acerbius:
No Icons, WTF?

Alright,

I have wasted half a day searching this bloody site and no one has a concrete answer or solution to the icons not showing up in the clock panel.

The scrolling ticker is a nice function and all, but I don't have ten minutes to spend waiting for the temperature to appear amidst all of the other info. I see all these beautiful screenshots of great clock / weather panels, but I cannot get it to function on my phone and no one has bothered to actually write up a CLEAR AND CONCISE fix or work around for this.

Once again, could some one please (and clearly) state how it is I can get my phone to display the actual icons and other information correctly in the clock panel. Thank you!

I am running HTCS620 w/ WM6.1 Rose R&S mod with HTC default theme and their "top bar" skin. I have gone through so many files and just cannot get it to work. Anyone?

And the clockpanel reset keeps crashing my phone. I don't know why, but I am having far too many issues with this app, which sucks cause the weather applet that comes with WM6.1Rose, is completely botched with process that has a massive memory leak. Is it just THAT hard to program a weather applet or what?
[HTC Excalibur] cobra04972tx1:
Nice app. I wanted it to scroll across my screen when its in portrait, but it only goes a little , then the next line comes up. Also, how do you change to see the next days and the radar? I haven't figured that out.

thanks

in fact its ok, go to the accuweather website, find weather for your location adn the information/code is in the web address, just in case anyone else had this problem!

Feather weather not updating

I am using a moto q9c, WM6.1, unlocked, 2.14b feather weather. I have used it successfully for a long time now, but I just changed locations for the summer, and updated the zip code. After this update, feather no longer updates. It shows that it is connecting to accuweather, but it never pulls any info. The name of the town doesn't display, and the weather hasn't moved in weeks. 52* and foggy all the time.

What do I need to do?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Have you updated the .mscr server? if not the read the other feather weather thread last couple of pages :)
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Here's the link stylez in referring to...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=422445&page=12

That's all you'll need to do, update the server address in the feather.mscr file in the feather program directory.

Good luck,
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Here is the new server

Find:

link=ReadFile in .mscr and change to quoted.

b.t.w it's metric on end seems posting into quote splits it.............
[HTC Excalibur] znial:
just did it, it works perfectly

thanks for the upgrade!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Anyone out there who knows how to stop it updating the full 7 days on i think the 8th update basically all i want is current day even to the point of just Current Temp and Feels Like, i done all that but just not sure on the update?

Think i got it HKLM\Software\Feather fupdate changed to 100000 :D

Auto Update to 1140 mins 24 hours :D "limited data"

Now just to sort Clock Font etc "Sorted"

Ok how do i get rid of this?

Sorted no wonder i never normally ask ?'s :D
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Yep. Go into feather options (go to the feather panel on the homescreen and select the right soft key for options), Then select Forecast Options/Setup and hit the left soft key (OK). Now select Forecast Update Interval and hit OK, then for the number enter 0. Then hit Done, cancel out of everything else until you're back to the homescreen. That should stop the forecast from ever updating unless you go into the forecast screen and manually update it.

Good luck,

Jeff
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I did it all did put on my post to say "Sorted no wonder i never normally ask ?'s" :D Took 1 hour to work it all out lol and it's all .cab'd up etc too as know i will hard-reset once in a while :)

It's all really basic as alot of the feeds didn't work correctly so only current and real feel with wether image, use a Tilt/Kaiser as main device so get M2D info and Weather4Me just wanted Dash to look nice :D

Thanks for the update 0 though as that helps ;)
[HTC Excalibur] notaliberal:
Hi again,

Just to confirm, you DID change the feed info in the feather.mscr file to read like the following:

link=ReadFile("http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox/weather_data.asp?location="&location&"&metric="&metric)

I think you mentioned this in an earlier post, just wanted to make sure you carried it forward...

Good luck. Post us a screenshot once you've got everything the way you like it please.

THanks!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah i did but seems that sum of the sub feeds have changed possibly a lay out issue, the same happened with XWeather after the change too...

Screeny:

Not fused about feeds as only cosmetic like said as have so much info on Kiaser regards weather :)

Peace.
[HTC Excalibur] ipkis_roger:
Hi Guys,

Dont know if it is me alone, i have Shadow 2009 and these are the issues i am facing:

1. I dont get any image in the sliding pane, all i get in its place is a enlarged analog clock icon.

2. Inspite of changing the location, its not changing it in the sliding panel.

3. The weather forecast is not for my area although i have given my zip.

Yeah, i am using the new link.

Thanks in advance :)

I don't have a excalibur, but on my blackjack, I have a key to bring up symbols menu, where I can choose it. I'm sure you have something similiar.

And that was a good question, I added the info to post #1 after I answered you here. Its good info that all can use.

[HTC Excalibur] m73m95:
I put this on my Shadow w/ 6.1

It works great. I did have to run the mortscript.exe manually, but no big deal.

One thing though. I don't get the animated "sun" on the clock screen. I just get my generic clock. How do I change that? Its not a big deal, everything else works fine, but I'd like to get the animated sun.

Thanks for this cab!

Mark
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Hey, thanks for the App! I also had to run the mortscript file manually, just so you can keep tabs on it, not a big deal at all.

Everything updated fine but when I have the forecast panel on, it's giving me the prior weeks forecast (8-10 to 8-15) instead of this coming weeks. Any idea on what that could be? The daily info in the clock panel is running the right date.

I love this lite file, was running the ODSHO weather but prefer the slim panel and the clear background of this one. Just my personal pref of it's clean look!

EDIT: Looks like it was just a lag on the full update, on the second 30 min interval, the forecast panel fully updated.

weather icon

I installed FeatherWeather.CAB file and im also running the sport program and instead of getting the current weather icon I get the one of my teams icon in it's place. How can I fix it?

Thanks

Nevermind fixed. I updated the right soft key and fixed the icon :)
[HTC Excalibur] m73m95:
I fixed it. I don't know how, or what I did, but I have the sun now.
[HTC Excalibur] rydr1:
is there anyway that instead of using the right softkey to change days, can the directional pad be used?

I am also not getting the chome options settings. It says "Set options can not be found", or something like that.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The only way to change to another key is with another software like smartToolKit or AE Button Plus so you can map it to another key. On the options, are you talking abou the Feather Options? If it doesn't want to start, go to program files/featherweather and click on mortscript.exe and then it should start for you after that.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Two questions:

The 'UPDATED AT' function in clock panel is not showing update time.

How to disable auto update ? I tried with 0 but it started giving perpetual updates.

I am using HTC VOX with Feather Weather totalclock version running WM 6.1 cooked ROM.

Partha
[HTC Excalibur] eflamenco2008:
where do i put the CPR files
[HTC Excalibur] nhung:
In the Windows folder.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The update time is the actual time accuweather updated their feed, not when you ran updated.

As for as the auto updates, I will add a turn off feature in next release, for now I would suggest setting the interval to a high number, like 10000 minutes as 0 would make it instantaneous update when one finishes. You might also try using -30, a negative number should also disable I believe.

You can reinstall and use the options to set right soft back to contacts, and then uninstall again. Or you can manually edit the registry if you want to go that route.

why are you posting questions about NRG's weather app in someone elses weather thread?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
To Finish Uninstall, Unzip and place this script on your phone and use file explorer to run it by clicking on it. Since you have NRG MiniWeather, I know you still have mortscript installed. It will reset your right soft key to contacts, your right soft key url to :mscontacts, and will reset your clock icon to original default icon. Everything else should have uninstalled when you used the Remove Programs in Settings. Reboot after using Remove Programs and your default original cpr should have came back. This script will replace the only things that remove programs does not change back.
