[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JunoBaby:
How to install this!!!!!!!! All

Ok.

This thread ought to be edited by the original poster, but here's the real way to install it, for almost everyone. I experimented with this plugin for almost TWO WEEKS to get it to work (I was determined)! Sometimes it would work, sometimes not, sometimes partially. I tried this on various WM phones, and went back to my Juno/shadow finally as it is one of the older ones and pickier than the rest.

FACT 1: It will work in ALL the ROMs out there that I tried (6.1-to-6.5).

FACT 2: If you install ANYTHING in the wrong order, you're likely to run into BIG issues....!!! you've been warned.

TO INSTALL:

DL everything in the first 2 posts. BUT BUT BUT... something is missing. READ ALL THE POSTS (yes all 40+ pages). SOMEWHERE in the middle, THO posts the missing *.XML file (critical; he mentions it in various posts as well as the original, but most people miss this critical fact- CRITICAL to make this work correctly!) ----!!!!! DL THIS ASAP!

PROCEDURE:

1) Install your favorite ROM

2) Restart, and install Mortscript and CHome Config (the CHome configurator tool) some ROMs have these included. some do not!

3) switch to any theme except titanium (!!!!) why? Because we're going to be editing it, and we can't edit it if windows is USING it, as it won't overwrite anything in use, it will just rename the new files to "copy of..." =BAD!...

Restart.

4) Active Sync your phone (easiest this way, but not necessary) and -

5) Copy the "titaniumslideweather.home.xml" to *root*\application data\home folder. IF YOU SKIP THIS you will have huge problems, from the plugin's not showing up, to locking up your phone to having to reflash the ROM or more issues. (You CAN uninstall and then copy it into the phone then reinstall, but it can have issues that way as well)... People have made the mistake of copying this to the WINDOWS folder- because there is a file there with the same name= WRONG! copy it only to the application date\home folder, or you'll be reinstalling your ROM!

6) Copy the appropriate and desired titanium_*.cpr to the *root*\WINDOWS folder. IF YOU ARE USING TITANIUM it will usually only make a BACKUP (it till rename it) so again, be on a default theme or something else (I use windows default or something). The "*" symbol means whatever version you want (the asterix stands for whatever; different phones have different resolutions so your particular version is best with the right size to match your screen, right?)... p.s. for those new at this, the *.cpr is kind of your "theme" file- this is what you're selecting when you change your "home screen" look and layout.

7) Install either the digital clock (this was the first one)

OR

the Hero Clock (this is the newest one). The Hero clock has the solid background and weather included; the digital is just a digital clock (looks similar, but with RSS feed vs weather-but it can be skinned to be transparent (someone posts a CAB somewhere in the middle of the thread here to do this automatically as I recall, but I didn't test it; digital clock has more issues than the hero)... you CAN do both, but get one working first!!! I found more issues with the digital version (it's older) than the Hero one, but some people have issues installing the Hero first, then trying to install the Digital one next. I found it the other way around on my shadows, and the digital one never worked correctly until I set up the CHero first. Just how it worked for me on an HTC Juno.

8) BEFORE you do anything else, including checking the plugin on the home screen- SET IT UP! = turn on your internet/wifi, and make sure you're connected.

9) NOW you can check the home screen... it should be working fine, sans location for the weather.

10) There's some tricks for the weather. Many people have tried to FIND the code for their city/location. THE ACCUWEATHER SITE no longer offers this info to the public. HOWEVER, it is included in this plugin: UNZIP the plugin (I copied and unzipped the CAB in a folder on my PC and dug around in it to find the file with my country and city there) ...and check the "location" folder- you'll find a ton of files. Look up your country (most files will begin with the country or a bunch of zeros), then open it with notepad (or similar- it's a text file). Scroll down to your city, or one close to you, and find the code -IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS OR SIMILAR...

"... NAM | US | NY | CITY "(NAM and US are for North America Mainland, and US is for USA). Write this down as you'll be entering it in the setup menu on the clock!

11) Go into the clock setup on the home page (this is the best way) and enter in your code (*** | ** | *** | *****etc ) in the field below "location"... save/done/etc...

The clock should show a looking up AccuWeather or something like that (the tiny text under the clock), and a minute or three later, you should have your local weather!

YAY!

12) ISSUES:

If your icons are missing w CHero :start over. Reinstall. Digital clock has this issue most of the time (vs CHero which has included icons). It means you are missing the proper order for the XML and CPR files, and/or put them in the WRONG PLACE. Once you overwrite the XML file in windows you're hosed if you don't have a backup = Reinstall your ROM!!!

Text too big/Missing Fonts and Missing Icons: Edit the CPR file or go into your other files for this plugin and find the line that has the fonts you want to change. It can be done from there (sorry no time to get back in there and tell you exactly where it is- I've been testing too many plugins and don't recall right now- it's been 4 days since I did it and I've tested and edited about 50 other plugins since then!!!!). Icons can be found by going into the plugin from the home page and doing setup on the weather, browse to your icon folder and add them (digital clock lacks this so have some ready, ok?)...

Of NOTE: Most files can be opened with Notepad (best to do this via active link and copy it to the PC then edit it) or a text editor. I recommend you BACK UP a file with renaming it to "backup" at the end of the file (I.E. "titaniumslideweather.home.xml.BACKUP")... I add numbers or a date if I need to at the end of that as well- make up your own editing convention!)

MOST of the scripts can be edited as well (check your startup script- you can edit how often the clock and weather looks for updates, etc, if it has 100 you can change that to something higher like 200...500...3000 -lol!)...

This works great on my shadow/juno!

thanks.

:D

p.s.s.

96DPI works on the Juno with this, and auto-corrects the text/font issues with the various clocks.

Also all my plug in *.cabs seem to be working fine as well- almost everything works with this, and 6.5+ ROM's and 96dpi. Just a FYI.
