Omnia is by Samsung and uses TouchWiz.

This app, and the one I wrote are for HTC phones that use TouchFLO 3D.

My app also works with HTC Sense.

But TouchWiz is completely different. It's probably unlikely that you will find someone that knows alot about this here.

Would have given a link but there is no Omnia sub forum. Maybe PPC Geeks or just a Windows Mobile app like weather bug.

Sorry to bring this back up but I am having connection issues. I add my city to the database, close the database, no issues. When I go to teh Weather tab to update, all I keep getting are connection errors. All the built in cities work fine. I saw someone here had the same issue but I didn't see a solution. If I missed something please let me know though. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. By the way this v 1.3.

For the Touch PRO 2, this is the wrong thread.

You need to use the program that I wrote.

New HTC ROM?

I've been using Weather Master Rhodium with my Touch Pro with great success. Yesterday I upgraded to the new (2.0) ROM, and now the program crashes on startup. What's going wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matleyit:
Hi!! I have installed Rhodium 2.2 on Touch 3G with WM 6.5.

When it starts it is blocked in "Initializing Database..." :(

Any suggestions ??

Just so you are aware, this app is not compatible with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5.

In reference to your post in your thread, this app is not the app that I wrote.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obaz:
yes it do not working with sense 2.5 :(. I recommend your app instead. or my method, if nothing works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finite:
I had a few problems with using the 2.2 Rhodium on a stock HTC branded Rhodium with 6.1 WWE rom. The tab crashed and once I got over that I got the SQL error.

Too many posts to reference and there maybe some things that can be skipped, but this worked for me first install the MoDaCo .NET 3.5

Then install the Rhodium 2.2 cab I found I had to delete 2330fc3c_manila from \windows with Resco Explorer after turning off TF3D then soft reset. I also wiped the Weather.City.List string at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila.

This restored the weather tab. Next turn TF3D off again find 2330fc3c_manila in \Windows with Resco Explorer and uncheck read only and leave the app open on the file. Incidentally 2330fc3c_manila on my phone is 727kb quite a bit larger than the 350kb file posted as a fix elsewhere which doesn't work on mine.

Next start Weather Master once the database has loaded find a listing near what you want to add so you only have to edit it slightly to add it.

And this is the only method I found for location codes that still seems to work.

As it happened I barely needed it for the location I added, but its there if you need it.

Add the new location/s then ok to exit. Set is the same as adding a location in the Weather Tab UI. Go back to Resco Explorer set 2330fc3c_manila to Read only. Then everything should be working.

Overall thanks for the program and helpful posts. It's great to have the potential to add new locations away from the PC and have a proper local report.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
There is also the method posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9338715&postcount=663

I'd recommend falshing a custom ROM that uses Sense 2.5 and using the app I wrote instead. It will look up the code for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finite:
Cheers, I will look into that at some point, but I have some old apps that as far as I know run better on 6.1

I don't know there is a step I'm missing, but accuweather.com/rss-center.asp always redirects to accuweather.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I'm seeing the same thing with accu weather's site for rss-center.asp. At least the app still will look up codes.

When I develoed that feature in my app, you could manually use rss-center.asp. That was how I was able to figure out what to send it in a post to get the response. I'll see if I can't figure something out. Maybe I just make a simple app that looks up the codes. Then the code can be copied and pasted in this app.

You might be able to find a Windows 6.1 ROM that has Sense 2.5 on it.

I use a 6.5.3 ROM, but there are lots of 6.5 roms. 6.5 ROMs still have the start menu at the top. The moving of the start menu and the size adjustments that came with 6.5.3 was the main problem that older apps had.

Even the latest ROM by HTC on HTC's website for the Tilt 2 is now 6.5.

can you please update the apps? took me half of day to find out what's the problem! the server from where your apps point for the weather data is dead. JV gave the standard link , modded the registry and worked!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
The app is probably not going to get updated, just like the app I wrote probably will not.

But, I am putting a link to the solution here, so others can follow it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23325505&postcount=401

I now use an iPhone 4S because it is what work provides. My other phone with no SIM is an LG Quatum with Windows 7 Mango.

I have a couple HTC Fuzes (Touch Pro) (Rhaphael), but they also do not have SIMs and I don't use them.

A little history. This app was written for the original HTC ROMS with TouchFLO 3D by HTC. Later, HTC came out with Sense and the Chefs here put it in the custom ROMs. Sense changed the database format, and I needed this app. I first waited a couple weeks, hoping JoeWilcox would update the app, but I was impatient, so I wrote my own. I had some trouble programattically shutting down Sense and Restarting it and he shared some code with me to do that which was very helpful.

That was back in August of 2009. Here is a link to the app that I wrote. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546141

So, even then, he appeared to be done maintaining this app.

His last post on XDA was in January of 2010 (over 2 years ago).

I can tell you this much about the apps people provide here. It takes a significant amount of time to develop them. Most devs have a donate button to accept paypal donations. My particular app has over 10,000 users. Less than 100 people donated. I think it was actually closer to 30 or 40. When I figured out how much time I had spent on it, I calculated my hourly rate to be close to $1 per hour.

I say this only so you understand that there is not a large motivation for devs to come back and update very old apps for the older devices. Most of us created them because we had a personal need and were willing to share. In the process, we got a little money through donations. Once we moved to different devices, we found other things that we needed to devote our attention to.

I am glad I was able to help you get the app to work for you and hopefully the link will help others as well.

same problem here.. the city i added: Nieuwegein

the accuweather code is good... but still:mad:

EDIT:

fixed it... make sure you also name the city correct.. only the code correct is not enough !!!

Weird, the code returns valid data from the proxy site. No idea why it's returning wrong for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
the thing is that even before HTCWM, I was unable to update montreal on the weather tab....:(

that's weird...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Yeah, the 1.0b4 worked perfectly on mine. It was the first one that did.

Again, stock ROM on Sprint Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
I think it might have something to do with what the weather DB returns. The case of your city the weather returns a location name of "MONTRÃ©AL". Someone else mention that if the city name in the DB didn't match the location name returned you don't get the weather. I suspect this is the case.

You can try using that as your city name to see if it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
hey joewilcox. tried the latest version. added a city and everything fine. but, now everytime i go to the weather tab, tf3d restarts itself. all other tabs are fine. ive tried reinstalling and uinstalling, manually copying the weather database file into windows, and lastly a full restore of my default rom theme to no avail. any ideas? thanks in advance

Hi,

I tried to add Luxembourg as a country (prior to being able to add it as a city) and get the following error :

"An error (System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: Attempt to write a read-only database bei System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.Reset(SQLiteStatement stmt) bei System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.Step(SQLiteStatement stmt) bei System.Data.SQLiteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() bei HTCWeatherMaster.MainForm.AddCountry() bei HTCWeatherMaster.MainForm.Addbutton_Click(Object sender [etc., can't see the rest of the error message]

The valid Accuweather code : EUR|LU|LU003|LUXEMBOURG

Before having Weather Master installed, I had the following version of Weather database editor installed : http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1102146&postcount=160

After Weather Master installation, I suddenly realized that all my custom cities were reset back to the 6 cities of the stock ROM (London, Barcelona, etc.) and that the custom ones were removed from the database. Now even if I use Weather database editor (Weather Master being uninstalled), I get the error "File write protection couldn't be removed", probably relating to the file 2330fc3c_manila.

Does someone know what's going on in this case ?

EDIT: I get the same error when trying to add a city in another country.

EDIT 2: Ok, by reinstalling HTC Weather Master, access to database is possible again through Weather database Editor. Was able to add the custom cities to another country using the latter. However, after reboot access to the database is read-only again - so that basically it's a one shot transaction (at least got my cities back). What seems to happen is that after uninstalling HTC Weather Master or after installing HTC Weather Master (after the initialization phase), the database, all custom cities get deleted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
It installs a new database file in the \\windows dir. It also turns off the read-only flags on the journal file and kills the cache.

In my current ROM, I'm using Weather Master 1.0, installed from CAB, and the following error is popping up. I remember seeing this error in older versions, but didn't see it mentioned in awhile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] One Hype:
Thanks for this awesome app! It is working great with no major problems whatsoever on my tilt. It saved me a ton of time since I didn't have to go and figure out how to get custom weather cities on TF3D. I have one question though, I wanted to edit the city I added by capitalizing the first letter of the city, but I can't edit it. I try just adding the city fixed, but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVega1892:
For anyone having problems with their weather tab restarting TF3D, I wasn't able to find an actual "fix" for the problem, but I have a work-around to it. I figured I was going to have to hard reset to fix the problem, so I threw on Hergs (awesome) V7C1 TF3D theme, figuring that I could play around with it a little bit to see how well it worked before I HR the phone. Lo and behold this fixed my weather tab, plus the theme really kicks ass. I assume it fixed the problem because this changes all of manila files so in effect I got a "fresh" weather tab. So long story short, if weather is causing your TF3d to restart, add Hergs TF3D V7C1 theme, you won't regret it. BTW, using a stock HTC Fuze if anyones wondering
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zend:
I'm hitting the same exception in the call to HTCWeatherMaster.MainForm.AddUS() that others are describing -" Insertion Failed because the database is full ...".

This is on an AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) running the latest ROMeOS (1.80.5). ROM was freshly flashed today, followed by a hard reset. Prior to running Weather Master 1.0, the only weather related changes I made involved changing the temp from Celsius to Farenheit and downloading the current weather. I didn't add or remove any of the default cities.

Thanks for building this thing. It's a great app. Hope you can work through these issues.

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to add North Miami Beach as a city in the Weather Master and like others get an error saying IDS_STATES_0 even though on the website I get accurate data.

I get this error both when I try adding the city via ZIP code: 33160 or using the accuweather code of: /us/fl/north-miami-beach

I have also tried naming the city: North Miami Beach and North-Miami-Beach with no real success.

Could anyone please help me with a suggestion?

Many thanks,

NC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
Make sure you're using the city name of "NORTH MIAMI BEACH" and see if that fixes it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NCU1980:
Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply. I tried using the all caps NORTH MIAMI BEACH as per your suggestion and this has successfully gotten rid of the IDS_STATES_0 and no weather data issue.

Thank you.

That being said, it would be even better if I can make the display name on the weather tab be in the same format as all the others (ie. not in all caps) as at the moment it is the only one that is in all caps.

Is there a way I can achieve this? Maybe an edit of a manila file? Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

NC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zend:
Thanks for sharing out your source, Joe.

I reported getting the "Insertion failed because the database is full..." error on the latest ROMeOS (1.80.5) ROM.

I've got some additional info on what's going on.

The ROM came with a journal file for the manila weather database. The file is \Windows\2330fc3c_manila-journal. This file is preventing you from inserting into the Cities table from within your MainForm.AddUS() method. Deleting this file and soft resetting the device fixes the issue.

I have no idea why this file is there, but I can see from your sources that you're installing a replacement 2330fc3c database, and it's pretty clear that there's no way that an existing journal file is going to be compatible with your version of the database since the transactions in the journal were applied to the old database, not the one that you installed.

So here's my recommendation : Since you install a new version of the weather database, your installer should either delete the existing journal file (if it exists) or replace it with a 0 byte file. Either one of these options will get things back to a healthy state.

Thanks again for your app and for sharing the source.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
I honestly have no idea why on some cities the name has to perfectly match.

Yea, I guess I'm going to have to include the journal file as well to fix the cases where it's cooked in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Hi JoeWilcox !

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
Won't be until after the 22nd. I'm tied up until then, hence the source release. You do realize I already change it to weather.not2advance.com right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DSmithZ28:
So can this file be deleted after Weather Master has been installed and the error has occured? Can someone roadmap where the journal file is?

Also, is there a way to unlock the weather database? I uninstalled Weather Master while a fix is being worked out so I could use WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB. Please let me know so I am not looking at having to hard reset...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotATreoFan:
I downloaded the CAB file posted here, and the problem is that 2330fc3c_manila is being installed as Read Only. Try this CAB... I edited it to remove _2330fc3c_manila (not needed), and set 2330fc3c_manila to not be Read Only.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoeWilcox:
Oh my god I feel so stupid. I must have copied the files back over at some point and forgot to remove the attribute. Duh!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] garyfunk:
Curse you JoeWilcox. LOL

Well, it's not like any of use have never done something like that. I'm happy to know it is a simple fix.

For Diamond Users

If you want to backup your settings you can receive an error.

First create a new directory "Storage Card"

on your device

and after save your settings via that program :D

If you will change your ROM, first copy folder Storage Card to Internal Storage. Update your ROM. Copy folder Storage Card

to your device

. Restore your settings :cool:
