I don't know why it would, I never had a problem at all with it. Its basically just a stripped down ODSHOWeather. The only mort that should run constantly is the loop, maybe its something to do with the stuff you changed in it? Try removing the loop from startup, reboot, and see if that helps.

More Detail on forecast issue,

it's not that Today's hi is missing.

but it's off it's placement

my weather for x days shows the following using _ as space and / as the read and blue thermometer

winds___Today's Hi___Today's Lo___Storm Prob

3SSW / 9/1 60 .....

91 is todays high which is right ontop of the blue thermometer

60 is todays low which it's in the storm prob box

and i guess ..... would be the storm forecast

i'm using a motorola Q9H with WM6.1

thanks,

So I attempted to uninstall feather weather so I can re-install it because somehow I botched it the first time, but when I tried to uninstall it from the options menu it gave me some kind of error. So I did it through remove programs and ot removed it except for I have a red X in the up left corner of my first panel. How can I remove this?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Go to this thread and get the ResetclockPanel.zip from bottom of post #1. It requires mortscript to run, but will reset the default icon to clock panel.:)
[HTC Excalibur] Dondiegojr:
When I tried to run the resetclockpanel.mscr I got this error message. I got this same type of error message when i tried to run feather weather app.

2.14 for landscape devices has been released! Us portrait people are left behind... :D

FOUR custom URL links! Wow... it was hard enough to find one. :p

Anyone want to leave some suggestions on where to find radar and weather images (I'm concerned about the US only, unfortunately...)?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Damn, I didn't even get to post here first about 2.14!:D I'm pretty sure lagasi has portrait ready or very close and should be up sooon.

I find plenty of images from weather.com, just click on the image and check the properties to get the url for the image. I also like the accuweather images since you can change the zoom level, so I have 1 set to 100 miles, 400 miles and 800 miles. lagasi posted the link a few pages back for it, here it is again, just change city name and state. The other parameters are:w is width in pixels of image, h is height in pixels, and geoWidth is the miles for the zoom level.

http://www.accuweather.com/m/US/wigs.axd?city=Crawford&state=TX&w=320&h=186&type=_SIR&geoWidth=100
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
some people are obsessed with your product show, and have a monkey refreshing the page every 30 seconds... :D
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Sorry for the delay. It will be ready by tonight (Pacific Time). Been kinda lazy the past couple of days.

The radar image can be almost any image you want, although I haven't tested JPGs.
[HTC Excalibur] chaoslord2k:
While trying to set the location for the Feather forecast to the last page of settings.

The panel dissapeared, went in chome configurator and CSettings isn't there anymore !

There's a lot of pages to configure (cause each page had a distinctive soft right key) anybody know a quick way to restore it?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Jpg's work as well, thats the page I'm using that shows precipitation forecast.

Which version of feather are you using, what type of phone, and what rom? I'd like to know for future reference as I don't like messing up phones. Do you need the registry for Settings? you said CSettings, which I don't have. I've attached the Settings reg's below, just import if thats what you need.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Ok, I've been checking out images, on local tv station's website I found some good additions. Hour by hour forecast, 7 day forecast summary, live camera image of Waco, and rainfall totals for the area. You can add any image you can find the url for.:D
[HTC Excalibur] xtrememadness:
my settings panel disappeared also. im running moto q9c with landscape version. i had the settings panel with versyion 2.13b. any ideas. thanx
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
How about removing that "Press to go to Accuweather..." blah blah..? I'm assuming that a hard coded text like that is not needed anymore.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
It seems that there is problem with portrait version of 2.13b in the forecast panel. Though this was exisiting from beginning I tend to overlooked this as normal. In the attached thumbnail the forecasted high & low temp have shifted away from their headers and storm probability is perhaps not showing. They all should shift slightly towards left so that numeric figure for storm probability can be accomadated at proper place.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
You are not using the default WM 6.x font of Segoe Condensed so the alignment is off. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to adjust the alignment for every font.

You will have to adjust the last section of code in feather.mscr to get the alignment correct. You need to adjust variable len[3], len[4], len[5], and len[6] for the spacing.

Even with the adjustments, you will notice that due to the width of your font's characters, the wind speed and direction will not fit if it is something like 5 SWW. A solution will be to change the "Font Style" for that line of text, "Text 2" in fullscreen.cpr to regular instead of bold.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Yes its really difficult to customize for every user. And its also true that last part of the code is pretty complicated with few more variables (check1,2 etc.). So i have decided to keep it as it is. Afterall i am already able to see hi lo from top of the screen and storms are far and few in calcutta.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. I may try later in my free time.
[HTC Excalibur] chaoslord2k:
sorry, I've got Moto Q9H with At&t Rom wm 6.1. I'm using version 2.14C. I had 2.13C with no problem.

What do I do with the settings.reg files? Just execute them in my phone or copy the content in a specific file?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
It may be a problem with the registry entries on the moto q9's. If someone can give me a export of the registry for Settings, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the settings panel. Have you tried setting feather to a different panel? If so, same result or did it work? Check your registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\Settings and at HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Settings and look at the Pages entry. Try removing the Page6(or whatever the last entry is) that feather created and then reboot and see if it makes a difference. Also, were ya'll app unlocked?

@chaoslord2k

First, unzip on your pc. Open them with notepad and look at them to make sure that is the reg entries you need. You will be able to see as they are just text files. If they look ok, then you can import them to your phone using a registry editor. From pc, you can import with CERegEditor(freeware) or from phone, Resco or PHM Registry editor work.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
lagasi one more help. I am posting a thumbnail which shows that wind direction upto 3 alphabets is showing pretty well. So no need to make the "bold" to "regular" in fullscreen.cpr. Could you suggest the changes I have to make in the lower part of feather.mscr (attached below). Then I may put some trial and error and get it right.

##########check lengths

check1 = Length(realfeelhi[ct])

check2 = Length(uv[ct])

check3 = Length(windspeed[ct])

check4 = Length(winddir[ct])

check5 = Length(high[ct])

check6 = Length(low[ct])

check7 = Length(tstormprob[ct])

check8 = Length(realfeello[ct])

# W spacing is about 2 chars

pos = Find(winddir[ct], "W")

If (pos > 0)

check4 = check4 + 1

check5 = check5 - 1

If (Find(winddir[ct], "W", pos+1) > pos)

check4 = check4 + 1

check = check - 1

EndIf

EndIf

############len 2 is for the space between real feel and uv

len[1] = 14-check1-check8

############len 2 is for the space between uv and prec

len[2] = 15-check2

############len 3 is for the space between winds and hi temp

len[3] = 14-(check3+check4+check5)

############len 4 is for the space between hi temp and lo temp

len[4] = 12-check6

############len 5 is for the space between lo temp and prob

len[5] = 14-(check6+check7)

############len 6 is for the space before winds

len[6] = 7-(check3+check4)

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
We have to keep that in there because that the Accuweather plug is part of the deal to use the accuweather feed:( BUT, those are just reg entries and can be changed in reg for Alt6 on the TitleText, Text1 and text2 values(just make to blank, without a string):) User customizable, but not by us.;)

These are the lines that control the spacing, so by reading the comments you see that len3, len4, len5, and len6 are the variables you need to adjust. Don't worry about the check3, check4, etc. To change spacing, change the number preceding. So for len[3] = 14-(check3+check4+check5), you would need to make the 14 smaller because the 14 is total spaces needed there. So by decreasing it, it will reduce space between. You should start with len6 first, because from your shot, it looks like wind should be moved slightly to right. Then move the others in order, len3 next, then len4 and len5.

lost panel on dash w/kavana 6.1

wanted to know how to retrieve it ,also.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
If someone can provide me with their registry for Settings, I should be able to tell you how to fix it. Its not happening to me so I don't know what to tell you yet. I either need a reg export of Settings or type it into a text file. With that I can help you out, its probably something simple but I can't recreate it here.:(
[HTC Excalibur] xtrememadness:
ok. everything works now. after i uninstalled 2.13 and all files my zip code and forcast settings were still there when i installed 2.14. i couldnt get rid of them. so i backed up my contacts and did a master reset and reinstalled. everything went flawless. and my settings panel is back. radar works perfect too. i also installed net framework first this time if that makes a difference. master reset is for newbies like me:) im just glad it works now. i love this app. plus all my other programs are on my card so it was no biggie getin em back. thanx for all the help
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Thanks showaco and lagasi. I have changed alignment of my forecast panels and now they are perfect.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
So you have 2.14 working now?
[HTC Excalibur] xtrememadness:
yes showaco. working perfectly:) i think it was just a problem with the uninstall of 2.13.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Great, thanks for the input! I was able to recreate it now by clearing it all out. I reinstalled 2.13, set it up to settings, setup all options, and then ran an update. So far so good, then I installed 2.14 on top of 2.13 without running the uninstall option inside of feather first. This I believe is where the problem lies. After install of 2.14, I then went into options and set feather to settings panels again(even though it was still there from 2.13). After that, settings panel had been deleted from reg. It has to do with the way I changed the writing of the panel. The new way works perfect, the problem lies in the upgrade from one to the other. If anyone needs the settings panel back, hard reset is not necessary. JUST import the reg files I posted a couple pages back and then reboot to regain settings panel. I will repost here below. I will make a fix for the new panel write so that it will check for the previous install still existing before proceeding and then take appropiate actions. New cabs will be up tonight.

Unzip and import these reg files if you need settings back!
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
Did I miss something? Or have you just not had the time to finish the cabs yet?
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Showaco pulled 2.14 due to a problem with the settings panel getting messed up when installing the FW page.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Wow, its still tonight, right?:D Sorry, lagasi forwarded me the cabs while I was asleep last night. But I've been busy today plus had to figure out the problem with landscape cabs. 2.14 cabs are now posted for portrait and the new landscape files which I'm 99% sure will work without the panel problems as I couldn't recreate it again.
[HTC Excalibur] bipinsen:
Just installed the cab, and got the four images working great!

Ok.. so I see here EXACTLY what I was asking for in my post about wanting extended forecasts. When you go to the radar image panel, pressing left and right keys makes you go to the different images. What I would like is that for the forecast panels, pressing the right key takes you to a panel with the forecast text in it. Can I have that, please? :D
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
What are the changes in portrait version 2.14b in comparison to 2.13b ?
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
Hey! I'm new to this forum. A long time reader 2nd time poster. The FW is a great app. I still cant get my settings panel back on my dash W/KWM 6.1. Is a hard reset my only option? Or ,what reg do you need to see. Anything would be better than the big wipeout!

Thanks,

Chris
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Yeah, we aren't against that idea, at the moment we just haven't figured out a good way to do it. We can add pages(left/right) no problem, BUT each left/right page will still have the forecast background(which is all the text field names like Winds, RealFeel, HI, Lo, etc and the storm cloud and compass) so there isn't a good way to change to another page with all that following you. If we put all days on one panel(using left right) and then had another panel with the forecast descriptions, it still wouldn't work because we need two variable icons(IconPaths, and Picture reg entries). If you come up with an idea of how to make them work, please share and will take a look.

The major change in portrait version is the addition of allowing 4 custom images as opposed to only 1.

Did you try the Settings.zip I posted? unzipped and imported with reg editor followed by a reboot? That should restore your registry for Settings panel. If you did, check your registry and see if it exists now. If so, check in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Plugins value to see if Settings is still listed. You don't have to hard reset to replace settings panel, its just a matter of having correct reg entries. If all the entries are there, then maybe the kavana rom used a different set, in which case we need a reg export from someone using kavana's to get you running again. If you're still lost on restoring it, hit me on pm and I'll give you my yahoo messenger id so we can get it all straight quicker. Sorry for the trouble:(
[HTC Excalibur] poktor:
There's a quick way to get the settings panel back in Kavana: re-enable Getting Started in the Homescreen, that should give your Settings panel back. Worked for me.
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:

I brought back getting started,but, settings panel is still gone.
[HTC Excalibur] chaoslord2k:
Ok finally got my settings panel back using CERegeditor and importing the .reg files you gave.

I was wondering where are the custom radar URL located in the registry? So i can easily change them instead of using the phone to type really long url.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
What was the error message? I used those same reg files when i was debugging the problem and had to reinstall my settings panel about 5 times before I got it fixed. Each time my Settings reg was pretty much wiped clean and this reset it. I was talking to stylez, and he said kavanas setting panel was different from standard 6.1 settings panel.

:confused: Maybe someone could post kavana's Settings reg?
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
It said " unknown error inporting reg file" or to that effect.

[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
I am. Walk through please. If you have the time.
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
can you tell me exactly which reg file you put the security.reg in? I.E. HKEY root, machine ,user or what. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The reg editor will put it where it needs to go. To manually go there, go to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Settings
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
Once imported, will it aknowledge the install?
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
Ifollowed that path. It saysvalue not set.?
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
OK. Security reg installed. rebooted. Still no panel. I'll keep messin around with it. Everything else works, though.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
so you have the software reg imported and the security reg? If so, go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Plugins and see if Settings is in that list.
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
It is. what next?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Check the same at HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Plugins. Do you use chome configurator? If so, does settings show in there now? And is it it enabled?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Can you use your reg editor and export the Chome registry under security and software and post them so I can look them over?
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
It's there ,too. Enabled? not sure.
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
I'll take a whack at it.

the file is to large. do you want a specific string?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
when you open your registry, highlight the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome and then hit export. Then highlight HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings and export. Zip those two files together and I'll have a look.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:

If the Software reg is similiar, then that is why you can't see your panel. What reg editor are you using to import? Is your phone app unlocked? If its not or your not sure, unzip this file, place on phone and run before trying to import again.
[HTC Excalibur] bhasselfree:
Ran sda app unlock.It said reg file imported successfully, just like before. now rebooting.

no panel. did I miss a step?

[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Which files do you need? Just the scripts and the download exe file? I can post them, but you would have to adjust the write clock and write forecast since landscape spacing is different. You could probably copy that portion from your current feather.mscr though. If you want the landscape, let me know, or I'm sure lagasi will post for you when he checks in.

What is the function of status icon in clock panel in 2.14 portrait ?
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
It just shows an icon on the clock panel.

sun icon = weather auto-updates ON

[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
lagasi please give me the default radarurl. I have accidentally deleted the regkey of radarurl. I have created the key again but i forgot the url.

Secondly, I use GPRS through proxy and there are restrictions for surfing. Infact I am not able to browse through default PIE in this particular scheme of my GPRS subscription. I can smoothly browse through operamini 4 or ucweb (java). Can that be the reason why I am not able to download radar maps through GPRS in phone whereas they get easily downloaded when connected to broadband. In that case can you suggest any alternative/tweaks so that I may try and see whether maps can be downloaded.

[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
The default radar URL will restore itself after an update.

So your connection works with downloading the AccuWeather feed, but not radar images? Can you try the following the custom radar URLs and report back:

http://www.google.com/m

http://www.google.com/xhtml/images/logo_large_noshade.gif

Go to \Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons and see if they have been successfully downloaded (radar1.gif, radar2.gif).
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
I will look into it and see what I can do.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I used the above two urls as my third and fourth radar image. I then updated the feather weather. Two additional panels showing two large red crosses were added to two existing image panel in radar image option. No radar3.gif & radar4.gif images were downloaded in panelicons folder. I then pressed the update radar buttons from the respective panels - but nothing happened.

When I connected through broadband radar3.gif was downloaded (against first url) of 1k but while opening the file it showed an "cannot open" error message. Against the second url no image could be downloaded via broadband also.

Edit

A liitle addition : There is a thread in XDA as how to connect to GPRS using my scheme - A little peep into that may give you some more technical details
