Updating through Activesync

OK, just tried this on my phone. Disabled phone and wifi. Connected to PC through Activesync. Made sure that in Mobile Device Centre on PC it was set to 'Allow data connections on device'. Opened WP settings and made sure Establish Connection was CHECKED. Exited to main WP screen and touched on update - updated without any problem.

So my conclusion - make sure that in WP settings 'Establish Connection' is checked, and on PC in Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre make sure that you have set it to allow data connections on device :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
OK, again where are you getting any instruction to look for anything with Phat in it? I have read and reread the first post and there is absolutely no reference in it to the previous theme. Follow the instructions in the first post. Once you have everything installed correctly you need to select the following in WP display tab:

Theme - DDT Ultimate WVGA

Layout - DDT_Ultimate_V1+ or DDT_Ultimate_V1Lite

Icon Set - DDT Mod Diamond Static WVGA

As for the scrollbar, again read the instructions - if you are on a 6.5 ROM you need to download and overwrite the 6.5 Overwrite files from the first post, or the 6.5 12hr Overwrite files from the second post (if you have your time format on your phone set to 12hr.

Hi

Fantastic new theme and updates. well done.

I however still have the same problem I had with the previous version. Updating.

I can only update via wi-fi, but I have to enter settings>connections>proxy and make sure that the usr & pwd are blank. only then will it update via wi-fi. it will not update any other way.

Am I right in saying the Proxy is for the non wi-fi connection?

any help or suggestions really appreciated?

Touch Pro2; Faria ROM (6.5.5) All WP updates.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Working like a charm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Ok, I think I've just figured out what you have been looking at. WP stores downloaded radar images and purges them at an interval which you can specify in Settings (default is purge after 12 hours, I have mine set to 24 hours). Each of the files you see in your Data folder is the stored info for each city, each weather image so will build in size until you have a full 12 hours worth of downloads. Therefore if you are looking at these file sizes before and after you downloads the sizes will be roughly the same. WP uses static images stored in this way to build animations which is what you can play in the radar panels.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] samsamuel:
looks fab, really nice work. Just one question, on teh sat image page (page 6) the zoom and play buttons arent there. Well they are there, cos you can click them, but theyre only visible when i press where they are? any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] popdog54:
If you are running WP directly from the Today Screen you will see the scroll bar. When you use Second Today the bottom task bar is removed so there is no scroll bar. Maybe this is your problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
Guys... I'm very happy for this new version. Looks awesome.

Dunc001 - I have no words.

As you know, I'm still in vacations, so I'll try to put this in my phone ASAP.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] loaferkan:
Any GTX theme for this? :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Not unless you want to make one ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Just touch and hold on your weather image and the buttons will appear after a second or so. They are hidden by default when you first open the image so that if it is a static image (not one you want to animate) the buttons aren't there taking up screen space.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
First post updated - new complete themes, no more overwrites!

Doing it now Angelo ;)

FYI - I have just revised the first post. I spent an hour or so compiling four complete versions of the theme with all of the relevant overwrites applied in each so there is now one complete theme folder for each WM version/time format. All four themes now also contain both the V1+ and V1Lite layouts so you have both options in the layout menu :D

The instructions are now much easier to follow so should remove any confusion :rolleyes:

The revised theme folders also contain two minor behind the scenes adjustments to the main screens:

1. I have added a void in behind the temp info in the top left of the screen which removes the problem some people were having that a touch on this area opened a new POPUP current conditions screen with the unsightly grey bar across the bottom

2. I have increased the size of the area which responds to a touch on the info button so you now don't have to repeatedly press it to get the info panel to appear :D

Keep an eye on the changelog in post three as if I add in any further responses to user issues I will post them there and update the four theme zips accordingly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Wonderful !

The new Theme with the ability to switch between FULL and LITE is an awesome idea !

Now we need a 'half LITE' version, with the lower icons shown by default while the mid-left panel shown by touch :D:p:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Anyone else for this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Yes, My friends and I would like the same ...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] samsamuel:
ahhhh ok, thanks very much, (i must say i thought id tried that, cos it did that on teh older version, , , d'oh @ me!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Saint964:
Finnaliy got the slider gone, got one quistion maybe did it wrong but with radar there are no images. Did i need to copy files instead map in the map themes?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Did you actually specify any weather images when you were entering your cities? Have you updated since you entered them?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PMoto:
I choose to have the down icons visible, and the side panel hide. Everytime I came to WP, thats the way they are. However, the down side icons are gone if I came back to home screen from any other screen.

I guess that's my opinion too. "half LITE" for me too!

Thanks Dunc001. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
When You install Dunc´s WP anew and whenever You change the "radar.txt" file You have to specify WHICH radar-maps should be downloaded and shown for each city !

Go to WP-settings, choose the city and press "edit" and then specify the radar-map sources You want to have shownn (up to eight sources per city).

Next You save Your settings, go back to WP main screen and touch the radar.map button: a screen will appear that is empty in the middle part showing a list-symbol button in the upper left side. Press this button and the list of Your registered map-sources for this city will pop open. Now choose the map each for map-screen 1, 2, 3, 4, ....... 5, 6, 7, 8 (You don´t need to fill all map-screens but 8 is the max). STILL THERE IS NO MAP SHOWN !!!!!

Go to main screen again.

Always best to make a softreset (not neccessary for all WM-versions but with Softreset You are always on the safe side).

Open WP again AND DO AN UPDATE BY PRESSING THE UPDATE BUTTON. NOW the current valid maps are downloaded !

Go to radar-maps and - voila - here they are !

Now You can play the animation (when it´s animated map-source), magnify and move the map according to Your needs.

Have fun

Half-Lite

OK guys, ask and you shall receive ;) I'll try and get the additional layouts done for tomorrow and will PM you both once done. I'll update the four theme folders in the first post and add a screenshot in for the V1Mid version, so there will then be a choice of 3 DDT layouts in the dropdown list for selection (V1+, V1Mid & V1Lite). You'll just need to download the relevant version of the complete theme, delete the DDT folder you currently have in WP>Themes and replace it with the new one :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:

@Dunc001

Thanks for this wunderfull app and sharing!

I copied the bkg.png to sd-card and set it as custum background in secondtoday settings, now in WP i have in each menu the same background, it looks brilliant!:eek:

Is there an option to make a full translation for WP, if so,please let me know, I would like to do the dutch translation.

Keep up the good work!;)

I have tried setting the Hardware port to COM3 & program port COM4 on my TP2 but still it will not update unless wi-fi is active

Are there any speed requirements for the GPS COM port, mine defaults to 4800?

Is there a program that will allow me to check what is going on.

Everything else that uses the GPS works fine except WP.

Please help, as going away from home without the ability to update unless I go to a hotspot is extremely annoying and defeats the value of WP.

Current Conditions Screen

Great app and great instructions - thanks for your hard work.

The only minor issue I'm having is that from the walkthrough, it looks like the current conditions screen should appear if I tap on the main weather symbol. I can't get this to work. The only way I can get to the current conditions screen is to tap on the five dots at the bottom to get the 5 day forecast and then scroll back before today's forecast.

Am I doing something wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Osteo:
Same here (but I'm running on the Imagio with EnergyROM so I was keeping my mouth shut). With the light theme most of the info is on the home screen but I'd like to be able to get to the main forecast screen.

I did post a link at PPCGeeks re:this thread to spread the good news as I just found out about this wonderful app!

maxsense

got it to work but i am using a maxsense rom so how do i link this so it becomes my main weather option??? im assuming it has to be done via the registry since maxsense does not have the option to change the default weather link like cht does. any suggestions???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
WP DOES NOT USE GPS !!!

Why do You think it does ? It´s a weather app retrieving data from www-sources and presents the data in the most perfect way.

WP HAS NO and WILL NOT HAVE FUNCTION SUCH AS "MY LOCATION" !!!! thus don´t need and use GPS.... :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Metalhead_79:
Same thing for me can´t get the current conditions directly from the main screen. Using energy rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
It cant be done at the moment, there is no setting for it in the reg yet, but it has been talked about and asked for.

Hey LeSScro,

Looking good my friend! That's the difference between a professional graphic artist and a novice! Look forward to seeing it completed. Let me know if you are going to be happy to share your mods here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Thanks. There is a feature in WP which should allow translation of text other than the weather conditions to the users selected language. I haven't used it in the theme because I hadn't figured out how it worked. I have started looking at it (today in fact!) so hopefully I will be able to release as a multilanguage version soon. If it works the way I think it does users will need to open and translate parts of a txt file to their language then copy to the main WP folder. Stay tuned...

Discovered this bug myself this afternoon :mad: Figured out that an edit I had made to the main screen to remove the accidental opening of a popup screen by touching on the main temp had caused a clash with the touch space in the centre of the screen. Editing the layouts now and should be posting the revised theme folders in the first post later tonight :D Just download the revised theme folder, delete the current DDT theme folder from your WP>Themes folder and replace it with the new one. Sorry for the error :rolleyes:

Maxsense doesn't have a way of selecting a preferred weather app at the moment, not even through a registry entry.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
V1Mid layout now added

Just for PMoto and Jaguaralani :D (and anyone else who wants it!)

I have bugfixed all of the reported issues, and have now added a V1Mid layout into all four versions of the theme (fixed forecast panel, hide/reveal info panel). I've also given the theme folder names a version indicator so if you want to have both 12 and 24 hr versions of the theme you can put both complete folders in your WP theme folder and switch between if you change the time format on your phone.

Download the latest theme folders from the first post, delete the DDT Ultimate folder currently in your WP Themes folder and replace it with the latest one(s).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
That's awesome !

Thank you mate .....................

ONLY ONE ISSUE...

Looks like I can not update through the UPDATE ICON, only through the SETTINGs...

Donno if it is me only or anyone else can share his experience regarding this..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] outerdepth:
Thank you, Thank you!!

Man, this is got to be one of the BEST additions to Windows Mobile. I started writing something similar years ago for my T-Mo Dash. I went far with it as possible or as far as that platform can go. I am SO thankful to see that people are making this weather forecast look leaps and bounds better than I had ever expected.

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped develop this adaptation the the 2nd Today Page and WeatherPanel. It looks killer! Keep up the good work everyone.:cool:

Update button bug fixed

Aaaargh, going number blind! After staring at the screen for ages I have located the one digit that was causing the problems with the update button not responding on the main and forecast screens. Because there are now three complete layouts in each theme folder (V1+, Mid and Lite) and four versions (6.5, 6.5 12hr, 6.5.x, 6.5.x 12hr) there are now a total of 268 layout files I need to check and edit :eek:

Anyway, that's my problem not yours :rolleyes: The bug has now been fixed and I have just reuploaded all four theme folders in the first post. Sorry for the error - hopefully that's it now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Again,

this is really a big, great, awesome job...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Diamantes:
THANK YOU :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jaguaralani:
Sorry to raise the issue again,

but again, the UPDATE ICON does not work for the LITE and the MID versions, it only works for the FULL VERSION :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Yes, just found this out myself :mad: Seems to be a conflict between the update function and the forecast panel because in the V1+ version if you have the forecast panel open (either with or without the info panel) the update also doesn't work there. Absolutely no idea why, tried several different fixes but haven't got to the bottom of it yet. Working on it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lesscro:
Be sure i will send you my Graphics Mod... then you can add every pictures you want...

You are so good bro'... +1... very good work !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Compliments indeed coming from a master! Love your website BTW :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Update...

OK, so the conflict isn't with the forecast panel. It is with the void I placed over the top left area of the screen to block the popup window when you pressed on the current temp. If I remove the void it allows the update button to work - no idea why as they don't overlap?

However, behind the scenes my genuis Aussie buddy Dave has been editing the main WP dll to change the behaviour/layout of the popup so it retains the look of the rest of the theme. So I am now going to edit the various layouts to accommodate the change. This will take me some time so probably not today. The result will be an update of the four theme folders plus a cab file to update the dll. Watch the changelog in post 3 for the release.

Bear with us :rolleyes:

It´s incredible what efforts You take to give WP the last perfection in all versions.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
It's a carry over from previous WP versions. According to the guys who know over at PPCGeeks it is no longer needed with WP2010 as whatever it does is now written in. So you can just delete it and save space :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] catman51:
So, does that mean in the folder where the hourly data fix and mortscript are, it can all be deleted? Except maybe the WeatherPanel.dll that's in there.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing this incredible app
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
As far as I can make out from the info on the WP forum storyr is that you can remove mortscript and the hourly script fix
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Fix files

Catman

Ditch the "hourly data fix" files from /programs/WP.

Also ditch the "hourly data fix" shortcut

which loads into your /windows/startup folder. It can cause issues with sounds.

Leave the .dll where it is.

Only one function doesn't work: When I touch the central symbol in the main screen (function no.1), the graphic with the temperatures for the last 24 hours it's not displayed. I have installed the 6.5 version for 24 hours. I didn't install the fonts because I have a conflict with the romanian language of the device.

Hi Dunc ! Hi Davej ! Hi all of You !

I have the proof now: WP DOES update current weather when app is opened although no change from 3G to HSPA and info-bar "Updating" is visible !

Why do I know that ?

Today we have severly changing eather conds since a rain-front is passing Austria.

So whenever I close WP and then some hours later I open it and when before the sun/cloud symbol was showing, when WP is opened again I have have for one second still the sun/cloud symbol and immediately after changing to cloud/rain according to the real situation outside.

In the code of WP there must a seperate update function: whenever switched to a new ciry or opened app the basic weather data are aquired by GPRS/3G AND every 12 hours (according to setting) the radar-maps and baro are updated.

At least this is how WP works on my HD2 :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Touch and hold on the weather image for a second and the buttons become visible :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
If you already applied the fix before you deleted it you will also need to (using a good file explorer) open Windows>Startup and delete the hourly data fix from there as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Hourly fix

You should have the following in your device/programs/marsware/WP/ folder

MortScript.exe

mortzip.dll

WeatherPanel.dll

Better still...I've attached mine

Enjoy....and follow Dunc's sounds advise to trash the start-up folder .lnk
