It should have worked with only the featherweather cab, what "home.cab" and script did you install?
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Hey Shawaco just wanted to say GREAT JOB. :) All the port. cab you installed work great, easy install as well. Only issue I noticed earlier today it gave me an error nd said couldn't connnect to internet. And underneathe the sun icon on home screen said " No Internet??" But it could be something to do w/ me adjusting my .dll files through the changer I dunno??:confused:

No biggy though, my hat goes off to ya, THANKS!!!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
that should only show if it can't get the internet connection active for some reason. If it was only once, then you probably just lost signal momentarily? The only time i get it is when i don't have a signal, or when i connect thru activesync it turns off my data connection too, so i get it then.

Thanks for the feedback.

HKLM Error

This looks like a great app! I can't wait to get it working. Unfortunately I am receiving the message below following the reboot process after installing FeatherTotalClockP.cab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hardware = Blackjack II

Software = 6.1

Couldn't write value in

HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current

Operator Name

Line 4 (\Program Files\FeatherWeather\Feather.mscr):

RegWriteString ("HKLM",

"System\State\Phone","Current Operator

Name","Starting Update")
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I'm not sure what would cause that unless its needs to unlocked somehow to let you write to registry values. I'm assuming since you have 6.1 on bj2, that you just updated recently, you might try the sda application unlock. Also, since you have bj2, you should be using the landscape version cab, thats the one without "P" on the end.

Anyone have another idea on the reg writing problem?
[HTC Excalibur] mskovrinskie:
I just installed the landscape version on my WM6.1 BJ II, connected to US ZIP code 17112, and the weather shows up. Nice plugin..

I have a problem though. Te detailed weather panel, page 1, says the date is Sun 8/10/2008 and the forecast is 101/79 for today. This clearly is not the forecast for this region and the date is way off (today is 9/5/2008). What's wrong?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
It will fix itself after a few updates. The forecast part only runs every 8th time that current weather runs. You can speed up the process by editing the reg at hklm/software/feather/fupdate. Change that value to 1 and then run an update.
[HTC Excalibur] mskovrinskie:
Fixed. Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] jchightower:
Running SDA App unlock and reinstalling the landscape version fixed the issue. Thanks! Great App!

clock and no sun graphic

I have this same problem on my shadow. how can i fix this? I tried reregistering the mort, then clicking on the install file, but it doesnt change anything. any other suggestions? thanks, everything else worked great!
[HTC Excalibur] m73m95:
I don't know how I fixed it. It fixed itself I think. It took a few updates.

I'm having another problem though. It keeps updating....continuously. It drains my battery in a few hours. I had to uninstall it just to keep my battery alive. Has anyone else experienced this? I really like the program, but I only need it to update a few times a day....not a few times every minute.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
what's your update interval set to?
[HTC Excalibur] m73m95:
I had it set to 30 min, but I had go to work out of town, and where I'm working I don't have phone service. I figured it just kept trying to update because it couldn't get a signal, so I set the renew time to 0, and it kept doing it.

I uninstalled it, and my phone has worked fine since.

I THEN installed the other .cab (featherweatherP) and its worked fine also. It doesn't update during the day. I manually update it when I get home at night.

I guess the totalclock.cab is the one with the problem?
[HTC Excalibur] KidDzAkemi:
Wow, this was simple enough for me to figure out and I know "nothing" about modding a smartphone.

Or maybe I'm underestimating myself. Got it to work on first install. Freaked out when the weather imgs wouldn't load, but found the chome refresh and BAM, pretty weather icons.

Didn't like the slimpanel thing and couldn't figure out any of the how-to's. Somehow I correctly installed filechanger, browsed to the standard one I'd put on my storage card and voila! Old faithful was back.

I love this app, thanks a mil. My weather panel week is incorrect right now too, but I read earlier this will clear up on its own.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Awesome, its good to here when someone can take something and figure it out by doing a little reading. Thanks:)
[HTC Excalibur] Mathjkt:
Celcius

Hey, first of all thanks for this great weather app!

Had no probs with it yet!

Just had a few questions, i noticed the app won't update via wifi when connected only through the GPRS, at least for me...

Secondly is there a way to have Celcius instead of Fahrenheit in the detailed forcast panel.

Thanks

next page

Dude I like your feather weather, but is there a way to change the next day to work with the right and left on the scroll wheel (I have a black jack II). I use SmartToolKit so my right softkey are already remapped.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Since your using STK, you should be able to map it to another key. I believe you can map keys with smart toolkit, right? If you can make double taps, then you could leave it as a double tap on right soft. I don't know if stk does this, but ae button plus lets you make single, double, triple, and long presses for each key.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
I have downloaded FeatherTotalClockP since I have a HTC Juno/Shadow and everything seems to be working correctly (current temp and conditions) with the exception of the forecast updates.

My "next day" is actually showing Saturdays forecast and the remaining days in the 5 day forecast are blank. I did check the accuweather page and I am noticing that the forecast for Saturday is correct so I know the data information is pulling accurately but why would it pull 4-5 days from now? I do realize that the forecast updates on every 8th update but even manually updating 8 times does not seem to resolve the issue.

Any ideas as this seems like a new problem based on reading the thread.

Edit: I am also noticing that on the Air Quality / Pollen / Updated At screen a time is not shown for the last update.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Not sure, the fact that the update time doesn't display suggests that the update never completely finished. When you ran the 8th update, did the clock panel text say getting the forecast for all 5 days? How long have you had it installed and has it ever worked for you?
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
The panel did show that it was getting the forecast, however I did not notice it saying day 1, day 2, etc...

I did have the standard feather weather program working before, however had some other issues with another program and then did a hard reset. Have been having this problem ever since. I did notice I am having the issue with both feather weather and total clock. :confused:

I have since uninstalled hoping for some resolution. I can reinstall and provide screenshots if you think that would help.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Did you install anything else that uses mortscript? If you got the wrong version, it will mess up the script. The fact that you didn't see the "Getting Forecast Day 1", "Getting Forecast Day 2", etc, means that it never ran a complete update. Thats why your not getting the forecast. If you have any other mortscript.exe files installed, delete them all, including the one in Feather, and then install the mortscript 4.11b7 version.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Ok, understood and that seems like what the problem might be. I am definitely not seeing "Getting Forecast Day 1" etc, like I used to see before.

I will make sure all of the mortscript files are removed, do you have a separate download for the mortscript 4.11b7 version or is that included in the original .cab file?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
After uninstalling all the mortscript.exe files, try to run the weather and you should get an error message. This will confirm you have all removed. Then install the new one.

I have the cab listed in post #1 of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413393
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Well unfortunately I have checked all of my other program files, deleted the original mortscript.exe file w/in feather weather, installed the mortscript.cab file in the first post of the thread you linked me to, however that did not fix the problem. Current conditions appear fine, I do get one day of the forecast but it is for Sunday (4 days ahead) and the remaining days are blank.

Would a mortscript.exe file be anywhere else in the file manager?

Should I try another hard reset to see if that fixes the issue?

Does anyone else have a Juno / Shadow? Experiencing the same issue?
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
I have a BlackJack II and am experiencing this same issue. My forecast panel is only updating one day and the rest of the days have big red X's displayed with no information given.

I tried installing the version of Mortscript you gave in the link, restarted the phone, and then updated the forecast panel (changed the registry setting to 1) and it still didn't update all the days...
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Ok, I think I found the issue. The feed changed by a couple of lines. Here's an updated Feather.mscr file. Download the one for the Feather your using(standard or the total clock). Just unzip and overwrite original in the FeatherWeather folder. Let me know if it works for you.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Since I use a portrait device can I download from the first post and overwrite with your updated .mscr?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yes, this fix should work for landscape and portrait versions.
[HTC Excalibur] snwahs:
Updated .mscr file fixed the problem, forecast updated immediately on the first download. Icons did not appear automatically until the second soft reset, however everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks for looking into and fixing that, really appreciated ;)

Edit: "Updated At" time still does not seem to appear. Not a big deal, just letting you know.
[HTC Excalibur] krupawan5618:
Yes, it is working...thanks Showaco! I love all your apps
[HTC Excalibur] big"dd":
I am currently running mini weather and was thinking about trying your program!

how do I remove my old weather plug in and install yours?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Go to Settings/Remove Programs and uninstall MiniWeather.

Then download FeatherWeather cab and install, soft reset, setup your options, done.
[HTC Excalibur] big"dd":
thanks for the quick reply... will try today.

Can you tell me if the weather program uses wap to get data?
[HTC Excalibur] jagesso:
Question: for those of us who are bandwidth challenged, is there anyway to point the link (panel 6/6) at pda.accuweather.com instead of accuweather.com?

Fantastic program, by the way!
[HTC Excalibur] jasonusmaximus:
Just wanted to give you props...this program works great. Good work!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yes, unless your connected another way. You can turn off the auto connect to gprs though.

thanks, glad you like it:D

Yes, in the registry you can change the actionurl and sk2url under , trying to remember this off the top of my head,

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\Forecast6

and HKLM\Security\Chome\DefaultSettings\Forecast6

The forecast6 part may be slightly different, its been a while, but you should be able to find it there.:)

Mucho Gracias!!:D
[HTC Excalibur] traveldude:
I can confirm using the total screen build with the updated mscr I am also experiencing the same.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yeah, I'm working on it. I'm currently setting it up to work with touchflo2d and just noticed the same thing. Give me a couple of days and I should have an update.:)
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Showaco, you rock, thank you for busting your butt on this for everyone's benefit. I dug the ODSH weather but the set up with feather is simply awesome. Very cool. Just wanted to throw some love your way for all the hard work.
[HTC Excalibur] gahbmwm5:
Ok...got it going after having to regster the MortScript.exe a couple of times...

Very low resources nice job, and I see your post here at xda-developer forums:

"I have a problem though. Te detailed weather panel, page 1, says the date is Sun 8/10/2008 and the forecast is 101/79 for today. This clearly is not the forecast for this region and the date is way off (today is 9/5/2008). What's wrong? "

My issue is similar to this....as when I scroll down one panel on my sliding/media panel homepage, (it is presently now 36 degree F, and the temp is only going to get up to @50 degree F).....but its states:

38 degree------>79 degree F

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You replied:

"It will fix itself after a few updates. The forecast part only runs every 8th time that current weather runs. You can speed up the process by editing the reg at hklm/software/feather/fupdate. Change that value to 1 and then run an update."

So I will try this .reg tweak and report back....Really nice job here! :)

This was also posted @txcaesars.....hope that you don't mind...
[HTC Excalibur] kevinskrushers:
Not seeing detailed forecast

I have everything installed (I think). I am seeing the new clock and current weather. But the detailed forcast panel not showing up. I even tried to show it in the CHome Configurator.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] traveldude:
Thanks, look forward to seeing the update :)

On a side note but related to what you posted is there a version touchflo2d that works with the Dash?
[HTC Excalibur] traveldude:
I have the update in place from post 78, worked fine. But noticed yesterday the weather forcast is no longer updating. I have made no changes to my phone. Restarted my phone several times and still the weather is no longer updating.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Same thing happened to me so I switched to the mini weather by NRG...
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Mine was down yesterday too, it's been working fine today.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh nice maybe I will switch back if its up and running again...
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yeah, accuweather was down for awhile. Htc weather wasn't updating either(it also uses accuweather). I also have fixed the updated at problem and will be releasing fix later today.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Thank you for doing this :)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here's the fix for the "Updated at" time not showing in weather details. Choose the zip file for the Feather you have, the original, total clock, or feather 2, and download. Just unzip the file and overwrite the original feather.mscr with this one in the \program files\featherweather folder.

Celsius and date

Hey

I'm living in Denmark and uses dd-mm-yy - 24:00 - Celsius.

The only setting possible in Fetather Setting is F or C.

This setting only gives the correct temperature a couple of places. Other places only the unit has changed without recalculating the value like 102 C - that a pretty high temperature.

Also the time is like that - the "big" time is 24:00 but on the details it's still AM and PM.

On the forecast panel it's taking the wrong 5 dates because we use dd-mm-yyyy.

Thanks for the good work.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
I'm usually no dummy to modding things on the phone but I still haven't grasped chome modifications as yet. Now that I've found FeatherWeather I would really like to implement the design below.

It's a modification of the Kron design included with FeatherWeatherP.cab - the weather icon is 64x64, the temp overlay can be left off if not possible, the rest of it is fairly self-explanatory. It manages all the same elements of Kron design but in a more balanced layout that fits in a standard panel. It would really take too much work to make it fit a shorter panel either.

As for a collapsed panel, smaller weather icon / temp / alarm icon / time would be perfect.

Any help Available? As pre-payment I've included an archive of the weather icons I created. They'll work in FeatherWeather AND NRG Mini Weather. Just extract and replace the condicons in the folder of the same name.

[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
So what are you asking... HOW to do it, or how to modify it to fit a shorter panel ?
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I love, double love, triple love, your design, please share
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
No problem on the help, editing size and locations of temp, icons, text, and alarm is easy. I just don't understand exactly how you want it to look. Is that a actual screenshot or just a mockup of how you want it? Give a few more details and I or someone else will help you edit it.:D

As for the icons, last I knew of NRG's weather, it used yahoo and twc for weather data. Feather uses accuweather, so a single set of icons won't work for both. They use different numbering systems.

Edit: I just downloaded the zip and checked the icons, they are for yahoo/twc weather. For feather/accuweather, you will have to check them against the conditions list and renumber them. Here's the condition/icon list for accuweather: http://accunet.accuweather.com/wx/accunet/symset.htm

Edit: Here's an attempt at the layout cpr, I don't have access to a portrait device so I had to guess at layout. Try this one(make a backup of your original first!) and post a screenshot with results and we can go from there.:)
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
This is a mockup as you guessed. I'll get back to you asap after trying your draft layout of my design. Thanks!!

I'll also reorder the conditions icons to match AccuWeather - I foolishly assumed this was a standard across services and didn't check.

wow!

very close. here is the screen shot.

[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
cool, slightly adjusted, try this one.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Here's the latest screenshot. Can you get the temp to overlay the icon and make it a few points smaller as well? Also, can you show the long format of the date so it reads, for example, "Friday, October 31, 2008"?

And I must agree this is very very very cool. I already was using Feather Weather and now it's extra cool for me. So add another 'very' to it now. :D

Could you add extra comments to this to document everything you're doing? I'd really appreciate it as I'm still trying to understand editing these more. It's a shame WM 6.1 is so sensitive to errors in the .cpr as it makes experimenting difficult.

You oughta offer several designs... or if that's what those feathercprs.zip are perhaps add this in and offer screenshots to show what they all look like and explain how to use them or offer an option in your options to switch between them.

Also, I really like your separate weather panels in FWeather2 and it occurred to me that you could use something like those to show very detailed information on each day's forecast.

Also... is there some way to make the text in the Weather forecast panels smaller without making the text in the other panels smaller?

[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
No problem on the changing the temp, I'll do that and post it in a bit along with which values you need to change to move it so you can learn as well. The date you will have to change the format in the registry. I can't remember the exact location right now, it's something like hklm\nls\overides and may involve creating a key or two. I'll have to find it again.;) For FW2, I don't have a portrait layout for the forecast panel, or I would have released it in portrait as well. Maybe when you start editing the cpr you will want to help design the layout?:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Here's an Accuweather version of my weather icons. BTW, I did create these and instead of renaming the TWC/Yahoo versions, I made a slightly different set for you and FeatherWeather and you're welcome to distribute them so long as you credit me for them.

I also included a Sliding Panels style icon for weather that was based on the HTC icon for same.

Kermit Woodall
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Here's a question for you -- how do you specify the icon to use for the collapsed version of the panel? It just seems to make a generic reference to the icon and it's size so that can't be the right area?

Kermit Woodall

Managing Editor

GadgetNutz.com
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Also - which panel template is used for the forecast panel(s)?

Kermit Woodall

Managing Editor

GadgetNutz.com
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
In the cpr file, you would have to edit the operator services panel to change forecast panel. But this is also the panel template used for program panels and dialer panels among other things. Thats why it stays with a pretty generic layout.

The condensed icon for clock panel is in the cpr here:

<Layer ID="ClockCondensed" Visible="False" Width="240" Height="36">
<Layer ID="Page">
<!-- Icon on left side -->
<Image ID="Icon" Left="70" Top="0" Width="24" Height="24" />

It is defined in the registry for CClock panel and I use mortscript to write the value on weather updates.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Thanks - do you have to use the operator services panel or can you use another one?

[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The only other one that I've found to work is the settings type panel. With featherweather2 , i was able to bypass the conflict with other panels by using a seperate cpr just for the forecast panels. You could try it, but you would have to replace the default cpr with your current one and then the forecast cpr would have to be adjusted for portrait devices along with the background image. I'm waiting to see how some other stuff works out before offering anymore updates.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I was using your featherweather totalclock portrait version without any problems. Of late I have flashed my VOX with Dr Gonzo's Rose ROM (s740 ROM customised for VOX). This has a weather panel of its own as you might be knowing. I have disabled that default HTC weather panel annd installed your app. But no icons etc are shown on clock panel instead a slim line showing the conditions are dispalyed alongwith a small icon (in the green screen only). I copied the modified cpr file (pasted in post no. 110) and the result was same. Screenshots attached. Please guide me for overcoming this problem.

By the way I am having eight cpr (4x2 for portrait and landscape) files in my windows folder with the following names.

1) chome_240x320

2)HTCslidingpanel_240x320

3)Slidingpanel_240x320

4)Reddress_240x320 - This is for red dress theme made by Dr. Gonzo

I looked into the xml files and found that none of them are using the chome cpr files. So I think that I have found the problem. I will now have to install a theme using chome cpr files. Anyway I am waiting for any additional advices by Showaco.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Showaco

I have successfully modified the xml file and now the display works fantastic.

Thanks.

Waiting for portrait version of featherweather 2.

Modified screenshots attached.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
So what file did you have to modify to get the display? If it wasn't chome240x320.cpr, could post it so I could take a look? On my bj, I don't have the htc panels, and this is the second thing that makes me to believe they are slightly different in design and actual files used.

Anyone using this on a Shadow?

Ok, ok.. I know.. this is an Excalibur forum.. but the best weather programs seem to live here! This is a great one, and I'd like to give this a try on my Shadow. Has anyone got this correctly working on a Shadow. In my first couple of tries, the main panel never seemed to populate the weather icons. I'd appreciate knowing if this would even work, or if I'm wasting my time.

Thanks!
