I have installed the patch & changed the url. Now right soft key is showing "Update Radar" and custom URL is also permanent in registry but i face the following problems.

1) The image is not getting downloaded. I agree my connection is slow but not able to download in 10 mins seems something wrong. Previously too it was not getting downloaded through phone. It was downloaded only when I was downloading by broadband through my PC through activesync.

2) I think there is some problem with my urls.

I have used these urls.

http://sirocco.accuweather.com/sat_mosaic_234x175_public/ir/isINDIAM_LOCAL.png

http://www.accuweather.com/m/ASI/IN/IN036/CALCUTTA/satellite.aspx

What I observe is none of my custom urls are downloading images in gif format whereas the default url is supposed to be downloading images in gif format (ending with "image.gif"). Instead custom urls are downloading images in "png" format - one of them ending with ".png" and another with ".aspx".

Will you please see what the problem is or suggest me some alternative urls to download (My loacation is Calcutta / India).

As an experiment I downloaded radar image in my PC. Put the image as it is in .png format in "panelicons" format. Restarted device but no image was shown in radar panel. I converted the same image to ".gif" in pc and did the same and it was promptly shown in radar panel.

I've got a quick question..

My installation will not show any of the icons on the home screen panel anymore. Any ideas as to why?

I installed version C originally and did not like how it made all the slider panels so large so I uninstalled it and installed version B. I was having issues with the radar update so I installed .NET CF 3.5 and all is well with that now.

EXCEPT that neither version (I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now, sometimes using the chome reset and sometimes not) will display the weather icons in the home screen....just an oversized/stretched clock icon.

What have I done wrong?

Extended forecast feature request

I have an idea to further expand the extended forecast panels. Here's the reason, and then the idea:

I miss having to "read" what the forecast for my area is. So far, all we're getting are numbers of different conditions, and then some static icons to show what the weather is like. If you see an actual weather forecast, you get some verbiage on what the weather is going to be like - something like, "Cold today with temperatures dropping to the teens; freezing temperatures overnight" or whatever.

I noticed that Accuweather.com also has NWS (National Weather Service) forecasts that gives some description of the weather (though in typical government language :p). So my idea for the extended forecast panels would be this: Up and Down scroll keys to go through the days, and then within a day, Right key to go to a new panel that shows the weather forecast description. From that page, Left to return to the icon/conditions page, or Down to go to the next days weather forecast description.

It seems like the extended forecast is only available for US cities on Accuweather. But maybe there's some other provider (Yahoo?) that has some verbal descriptions....
[HTC Excalibur] mebobola:
I had a similar problem. To fix it fully, you need to uninstall Feather Weather, then go into file explorer and delete the FeatherWeather directory as there is a backup file in there that remembers some of your settings. I also deleted the registry entries under HKLM\Software\Feather as well. Then, install and go through all settings pages to get the right locations, etc.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
here's the .cpr file to make it look like the pic above. for those who want it to look like that.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
hey show, is there anyway you can hook me up with a special .mscr so this also updates to the reg entries with S2U2 so it shows the weather also when S2U2 is running? nrg has done it for his weather app, but i personally prefer your 2.13C version.

edit: also i think i mentioned this before, but i didn't see a response. Why is the chome (condensed) phone icon missing? i've tried messing with the .cpr, but i have yet to figure out why it's missing.

look below:
[HTC Excalibur] zipredictive:
what are the differences between the 4 portrait versions?
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
The 1st URL will work, but the 2nd one will not since it is a webpage, not an image. The default image is a GIF so we left the extension as that. Windows Mobile seems to be smart enough to ignore the extension and display PNGs properly.

Try finding some local stations with weather info. Hopefully the connection will be better since it is local.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
2.13 is the latest version. We started keeping previous version on there just in case some people find the newest one buggy or just didn't like the new version.

A and B versions are just different icon sets. Look at the screen shots to see which one you prefer.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
The left and right for pages is actually gonna be hard to implement due to shared images and layout between the pages.
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
I'm more interested in whether the idea itself sounds good to people. Then we can work out how best to implement it.
[HTC Excalibur] droptopmas:
I just upgraded from v1, which I loved, when it updated reliably, to 2.13b

2 issues I am having:

Number 1: I do not get any icons loading on the top bar, I just get a large pixelated analog clock icon where the forcast icon should be, I've ran numerous updates and done soft resets, but it won't change. I was getting an error from dlfile.exe that it required a newer version of the .NET compact framework, so I installed 3.5, and un-installed and re-installed Feather 2.13b, but still no change. I don't know how to get a screen shot so

Number 2: every time the phone boots up I get the following message pop up (first line is the title bar), and my only option is to hit OK on the left softkey

"MortScript V4.11b7

.mscr and .mortrun extensions registerd. Please run any .mscr/.mortrun file or read the manual.

(c) Mirko Schenk 2005-2007"

the second issue isn't a huge deal as I normally don't reboot the phone often, but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.

Also, on version 1 it changed the panel height to be a little shorter, any way to get that back, or maybe have that functionality as a seperate download? I loved the smaller panels, it gave a cleaner feel to the interface.

[HTC Excalibur] cfl_hans:
those are actually the exact same issues I'm having with my 2.13 installations
[HTC Excalibur] rdrunner85:
I too have those same exact issues but went into the .cpr file and edited some lines the best I knew how and got my icons and such in the top panel. Now my only issue is my radar will not update.

Using a MotoQ9c running WM 6.1

Picture attached.

my tweaked .cpr attached in case someone wants to pick it apart.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here's a fix for the clock panel and the mortscript popup. I will change the way it loads these in next version. Its a problem caused by updating from previous version without using the uninstall in feather options first before installing new cab. Just unzip this file and place on your phone, then using file explorer, click on it. Give it a couple of seconds and then check your homescreen.

As for as panel size, you must be talking about slim panels. I'm pretty sure that the cpr from that version will work with version a. For b and c it will take some tweaking. I'll attach it below as well, just unzip and drop into your windows folder. If you have used the forecast screen, then there is a backup of your homescreen cpr in there if you need it.(it will be overwritten with this new cpr when you go to forecast!)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Sorry you missed my first post for the fix, but here it is again. It would be easy to add the stuff for S2U2 since its just one registry write needed. I don't remember the format required though from when I look at it last. Let me install it again and get the right settings and I'll get it to you.:)
[HTC Excalibur] cfl_hans:
showaco,

thanks so much for your quick help. i'm not sure that all is well on this end, though. I did as suggested and I no longer have the giant clock icon - it's been replaced by a giant red X, haha.

i transferred the clockpanelfix.mscr to my phone to run it...is it normal for the icon in file explorer to seem sort of grayed out? I click on it and nothing seems to happen. Well it did change it from the clock to the red X so I something happened, but not quite what I had hoped.

Any further suggestions? Again, thanks a ton for your help!
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
re-modded .cpr file

thanks show. I've now made some signifigant changes to the .cpr for v 2.13C (landscape) the text for the condensed panels now appear, the icon for the Chome panel is now shown. I've fiddled with text placements in each panel so it aligns better and i've change the font size for all panels from 12 to 10.

Here are some screenshots.

The .cpr file is available below as well. (edit:) one more minor change to the .cpr
[HTC Excalibur] Jerryk959:
Just wanted to let you know I successfully installed Featherweather 2.13b and it is running great! Thank you!:)
[HTC Excalibur] droptopmas:
Same for me.. after running clockpanelfix.mscr nothing happened for a few minutes, so I went into the forcast, and after exiting I had the big red X indicating the icon that is supposed to be there, isn't.

after looking at clockpanelfix.mscr, it seems it has to be ran from withen the install path for Feather, which is \Program Files\FeatherWeather

I ran it from there but it didn't seem to make any difference, thought it may be erroring out with the delete startup shortcut being the first line so I removed that and re-ran it from the program folder, after a reboot, still nothing... I checked the 2 registry keys that clockpanelfix.mscr was supposed to update, and found they were both showing up as"

\panelicons\currently.png;\panelicons\currently.png

so I changed them both manually to:

\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\currently.png;\Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons\currently.png

and everything is working fine now.
[HTC Excalibur] cfl_hans:
it seems as if I will have to go the same route as you..thanks for figuring that procedure out.

however, I must admit, I'm very new to all this so would you mind pointing me in the right direction to learn about how to edit my registry? I feel confident that I can take care of it properly if I just read a bit about how it's done.

TIA
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Looks good, I may use this in next version:). Here's the files for the s2u2 for Feather weather to appear. I had to choose a string to display and decided on the current temp plus the feels like temp. I could change it to something else. I also had to change the icons since they were numbered for use with yahoo/weather.com format instead of accuweather. You can change to any accuweather icons as long as you resize to 32x32 png files. Copy the weather folder into \program files\s2u2\gfx\ and place the scripts into featherweather folder. You're also "lucky" enough to try out the new radar with multiple urls(up to 4 customs), since these are the latest scripts. Let us know how they work.;)

does s2u2 use a xml file or some way of changing the layout?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I can remake the clockpanelfix.mscr for you if you want, just let me know. To edit reg, you'll need a registry editor. I personally can't live without Total Commander. There's a few others, probably next would be Resco. Once you have your reg editor, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock and open IconPaths. This is where you'll need to enter the info posted above by droptopmas. It's the same info twice, seperated by a semicolon. When you finish, you'll need to do the same in one other place. So go to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\CClock and do the same with IconPaths there. When you finish there, you'll need a homescreen refresh to show the changes. Easiest way will be go to homescreen, then go to the forecast panels. Go back to homescreen and you should now see the change.

Many values in the registry you can change without problems, but be careful because there are some that will cause lots of problems.
[HTC Excalibur] cfl_hans:
if you could remake the clockpanelfix.mscr for me that would be awesome!

I'm definitely gonna get more into this modding stuff and will check out the registry editor that you suggested, but at the moment I'm in my last two weeks of grad school and have zero time to be fiddling around with toys, haha. I'm hooked on your weather program, though, so if you could provide a quick fix that would be great! Thanks, showaco
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here you go.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Thanks for the help man. I dl'ed it and made some mods of my own. I also decided to use the HTC weather icons as well. Below are two screenshots (both with the HTC icons) and the second is the tweak a made to the feather.mcsr to show the city, and the "°" and "F" temp indicators as well.

below is also the reformatted (and and few that have somewhat changed) HTC icons which have already been renumbered and resized to 32 X 32. as well as the midded feather.mscr file.

update: also included in your files you sent was an .exe called "dlfile.exe" ...can you tell me what that is?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
ok. your new .mscr may work if this were a clean install, but since i only placed the files and overwrote the old files in the feather directory. the result was that while it performed the update successfully, im not getting the 4 custom url images. im still only getting the first one. which oddly enough is no longer a url i used in the 4 lines you can use. i see that radarurl1,2,3,&4 keys were created, but the radarurl (no number after) key still existed. so i even tried renaming it to something inconsequential to the rest of the keys. and tried a full update again. Oddly enough, it still didnt change the layout and i still saw the original url i unputted. from the previous featheroptions.mscr.

and btw... i did place the dlfile.exe in the \featherweather main directory.

let me also say that it did download the radar images to \featherweather\panel icons . named "radar1, radar2,radar3 & radar4) but the forecast panel still only references the original "radar" pic file in that directory and not the other 4.

How to modify files in pudge.zip to show weather icons in s2u2 for portrait mode.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Oh, I forgot to tell you, :rolleyes:, You'll need to create the other radar pages in the registry first before they will be able to show, because of the pageGUID, etc that is needed. You can just copy Alt6\Page1 into Page2, Page3, and Page4. In Pictures value, change image names to radar1.gif, radar2.gif, etc so that new images show and not radar.gif. In next cab, they will be created but you'll have to do it manually to use it right now. Then it should work and show all the pages. I was going to use the htc icons for s2u2 but I couldn't find my copy last night when I was doing this.

To use the s2u2 in portrait, all you need to do is place these lines around line 580 and 581. Just copy and paste them into your Feather.mscr using notepad. Those line numbers should place it just before the "EndSub" of the write clock sub. The part after the second "|" can be changed to the info you want displayed. I highlighted the part you can adjust.

#Write to S2U2
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\A_C\S2U2","UserWeather","C|"&ccode&"|"[B]&ctemp&", Feels Like "&realfeel[/B])
[HTC Excalibur] cfl_hans:
alright, I tried your second fix mscr and it completely wiped out the entire clock panel, haha. I installed Total Commander and fixed everything in the registry, everything works fine now!

Thanks for the help and, of course, the awesome weather program!
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
thanks..... works like a charm...although i was getting big red X's the first few times.... and also you didnt say that once i got to the radar page, you'd be going side to side and not up and down to see the four URL's ...and thats not a gripe about how you did it. more of a i wish you would have told me....cuz i thought it still wasnt working until i saw the faint side-to-side arrows when i got to that radar page.

here are screenshots of the 4 custom URL's i chose to use.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
did I not tell you that? lol, I thought you would figure that one out when you add the " pages" to the reg:D. You can also move or edit the text for feather so it doesn't block those low temps. In reg, its the titletext and text1, if I remember correctly(might be another "ooops",lol). Or you can edit fullscreen.cpr to move it around or change size. You could also remove the arrows since you know it has pages.

P.S. I hate to say it, but I really hope your sooners get beat saturday:D, Texas could use some breathing room.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
you do know that if MY sooners lose, then that would mean texas tech would win the big 12 south title and not texas right? (by virtue of only having a 2 way tie and tx.tech winning that tie breaker) to put it bluntly (whether fair or not) you guys are damned if you do and damned if you don't....or in this case....damned if WE do and damned if WE don't. :D

good point, so I hope you win, but only by 1 point:D

[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Thanks to Showaco, I have successfully integrated featherweather with s2u2. Slowly I am becoming a an addict of XDA. Now I cannot think of buying any mobile phone other than HTC (may be a PPC next time). Both windows mobile and HTC should be thankful to this forum otherwise I don't think WINMO and HTC would have been so popular amongst powerusers/fiddlers. I have seen teething problems from many HTC users in my area who are not at all satisifed with their phone mostly because they don't know how to upgrade or customise thier phones and local HTC service centre too are not very supportive in this respect.

Longlive xda-developers.:D

Thanks also to pudgedaddy, I used his icons.

Silly Question

Hello,

how are the other CPR's implemented? I am looking for a standard home screen style with Feather weather2.

BTW Great job, works flawlessly with my i617, but mortiscript did not auto register.

k
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Three ways,

(1)you can use the file changer in my signature below.

(2)You can rename the standard feather cpr to CHome_320x240.cpr and then overwrite the one in your windows folder, followed by a refresh.

(3)One other way would be to switch to the forecast panels, then rename the standard as cprbackup.cpr and overwrite file in \program files\featherweather, then when you return to normal homescreen, it should be there.

BTW, thanks for your support

Forecast not working

everything has worked great for a month, and started about 3 days ago the forecast stopped updating.

it will only give me sunday, and rest just blank and a big red X.

i already tried uninstalled and reinstalling. and it does the same.

current condition updates fine, just not forecasting.

any idea what is going on?

thanks,
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Strange, I looked at the feed, and nothing has changed. All the forecast data is still in same location, so there's no reason for it to quit working. Have you installed anything new?
[HTC Excalibur] motomotoq:
no nothing new installed, it just decide to stop updating forecast.

i tried the following zipcodes

91776

91748

91792

91770

and some other random ones all same result.
[HTC Excalibur] tf442:
No forecast

I am in the same boat. Forecast stopped updating last week. I have 1 day (Friday) forecast and the other days are red x.

Tim
[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, unzip and overwrite original in the FeatherWeather folder. Let me know if it works for you.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
hey show..... do you by chance have the default "chome_320X240.cpr" file handy? i can't seem to find my backup copy and would like to have it handy just in case.

also i still cannot get this thing to run..... still getting the unable to find program or components error..... i've tried installing this thing twice and i even ran mortscript.exe in the featherweather directory and it said it was registered. but still getting the error...

edit: nevermind.... i'm a dumbass sometimes.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Yeah, I have one(its at home, I can get it to you later), but if you uninstall it should revert back to your previous cpr. Does the mscr fix work for you on the forecast days?
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
well actually i really dont attend to the forecast......sine i use smarttoolkit my right softkey cant pull up the forecast...(maybe something you can help me with as an alternative?) also is there a .mscr you can write for me to kill the looping text. the S2U2 proggy scrolls that across when the keys are locked and it looks ugly on that screen. also none of the current conditions besides the actual temp are being updated.... so basically even with the loop running all i get are the conditions templates you have set to show, but none of the actual conditions showing after that. ex: bar (nothing) winds (nothing) humidity (nothing) ) so it reads bar. winds, humidity. etc.... but no data showing after them

update: my loop text is now hung on "updating forecast data" after the forecast and current temp appear to update. any ideas showaco?

update 2: ok here's another dumbass moment....... i somehow accidentally cleared out my location code so it was blank, and i just noticed it....so there was my problem...now i just need you to hel pme with the non-loop .mscr...... i tried changing the loop.mscr to contrun=0 but that only created another side-effect so for now, i deleted everything in the loop.mscr except for the reg read and the reg write to the "txt8" custom defined text so it just shows one thing.
[HTC Excalibur] motomotoq:
Issue Fixed!!! thanks for the great program and support!

hmm just notice Today's HI is missing, as well as the % since in the storm Prob?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Welcome back, Pudge. :) Do you still need the cpr file? On the text loop, do you want to be able to just use a custom text or do you not want any loop at all? I can remove all the weather data from the loop for you if you want to use custom text. If you want to do this, let me know how many custom text fields you want to use. If you just want to see the operator name, then I can remove the loop completely.

I'll check this tonight.:)
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
really show..i don't know what the deal is......i never had an issue with nrg's or OD's weather app. but with this one (coincedence?) my phone was running really slow and it even warmed up on me so i did some investigating... while non of the programs were using much memory. i found that mortscript.exe was continuously using between 80 to 99% of the cpu load... even after reboot and also after re-install of your app. i decided to uninstall to see what your thoughts are on it.
