"I'm just waitin on the Man" -Lou Reed

Hi Eroc,

They are all locked and loaded. Troed and I are just waiting on Dunc to finish re-writing the wpl/wpx files to ensure the icon positions are correct. I have downsized some of the images for the sake of animation. If I made them the right size, the file download would break most peoples limits and would run like corpse when loading into WP. "White men can't jump" and "Size isn't everything"

To maintain the boredom of the wait....leave a beer in Dunc's jar, alcohol usually helps run a Scotsman!!! He's saving to visit me here in OZ....he's heard about this thing called "Sun" and wants to see if my graphics are representative!! :D:D

Soon....Soon..... :o:o

Davej :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
First of all I would like to thank Davej for his exceptional animations which make WP not only the best weather app in the world but also the ultimate eyecatcher.

HERE IS A WARNING FOR FOLKS THAT TRAVEL AROUND TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES A LOT:

I strongly advise to switch in WP-settings to MANUAL UPDATE

(uncheck "automatic update" in "Connections")

since WP does not recognize when Your HD2 is in roaming mode.

It happened to me that whenever I go to nearby Hungary and last week to France my provider warned me that data-download in roaming will be blocked since in Europe we have the regulation that providers are obliged to give a warning and block data-roaming when 60.- € are consumed which might not be in other parts of the world.

In case You have registered a lot of sat-images and traffic cams a download volume of 50 MB and more are fast consumed.

I will have a look into 2nd today settings if this ia a problem with 2nd today or WP only.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
Hey all

Love this theme and app so much - brilliant. Would like it if I had an option for the boxes to stay instead of minimising. not really important though.

I am having a problem with updates. I can only update if I am connected via wi-fi.

I ran the diagnostic wi-fi on all works. wi-fi off it does connect but then it fails on the password.

what password is it looking for?

I do not use a proxy so I leave that blank. Everything else that connect to 3G or internet works fine.

Anyone got any ideas?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Graham, not sure what you are referring to here? If you are talking about the two additional panels on the home screen (info panel and 5-day forecast) then just select one of the alternative layouts:

1. Touch on the Settings icon on the home screen and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

2. Go to the display tab

3. Select a different layout in the middle dropdown list. The options are V1+ (both info panel and 5-day forecast hide/reveal), V1Mid (5-day is permanently displayed, info panel is hide/reveal), V1Lite (both panels permanently displayed).

4. Press your hardware back key and the main WP screen will reload with your new settings

If this is not what you are referring to then let me know. If you don't see these layout options in WP settings then you need to upgrade to the latest version using the upgrade instructions in the 1st post.

Hope this helps :D

WeatherPanel in French

Follow instructions from first post.

Unzip folder below (French WP.zip).

Replace all files except "lang.txt" in Program Files/MarsWare/WeatherPanel/Themes/DDT Ultimate WVGA.

Replace "lang.txt" in Program Files/MarsWare/WeatherPanel.

Et voilà !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
DOH!

Sorry I missed that. I had had some trouble with the icon set so for a while nothing looked good. then when I got it working I didn't really want to mess with it. Information is power (as they say) and knowing exactly what each panel does has helped. Thank you for that. Much appreciated

My other problem

again information is power. I think If I knew why it failed to authorise that would help.

Connection Test: Connected (2)

Cache Connection: FALSE

Connection: SUCCESS

Auth: FAIL

Can anyone tell me what is happening here?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I thought I'd better point out that these files are from the very first release of DDT and not the current ones, and only contain the V1+ layout files not the Mid or Lite or any of the 12hr layouts. I am currently working on the next release which you will be able to translate as you require. Bear with me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I've just tried this again and it updated for me on both wifi and 3G. In the WP Settings>Connections tab to update via wifi I have 'Auto Update Data' and 'Disable Checking...' checked and wifi update works fine. If I then disable my wifi connection and in WP check the 'Establish Connection' box I can then update via 3G. All works OK here so give that a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Cool Huh!

Absolutely nothing to add at this point!!

Just wanted to show off my new signature :D:D:D:D

OH and.....get back to work Dunc...these good people are waiting!!

Davej :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Just thought I'd share this...

Found a wallpaper that I think looks awesome as the wallpaper for the main WP screens. If you like it download the wallpaper then with WP running press your hardware Start Menu key, open the Second Today folder and run SToday Settings, touch 'Browse' beside 'Use custom background' and select the new wallpaper from wherever you have saved it. Click the tick to accept and there you go! Works well with pretty much all of the weather icons too.

And by the way Dave, LOOK - SUN (well almost) IN LEVISHAM!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
Been there tried all that.

Just tried it again to make sure.

With wi-fi on:

Connection: SUCCESS

Auth: UBETCHA

With 3G & no W-Fi on:

Connection: SUCCESS

Auth: FAIL.

I've tried all the tick boxes in every combination I can work out.

auto connect

establish connection

disable checking for no version

A bizarre thing is that if I changed the GPS COM port (even disabling it) I get NO change.

How can it connect when it's using the wrong COM port?

Thoroughly confused!

Note: I had the same problems when I first installed weatherpool, and this is after a recent Hard Reset, in which I removed all setting to make sure and try again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Hi grymcent !

This reminds me of a problem I had once with my Touch HD Blackstone when I was with one of the smaller (cheaper) providers here in Austria

Everything worked fine (email, opera, oggsync etc.) but "logemein" worked only via WiFi.

After going crazy with logmein support and htc I found out that my provider blocked specific internet connections. I would have had to buy an expensive online package to make it work

I don´t know if this could be the same with You but check with Your provider if there are some restrictions.

This problem sounds too unique to be correlated only with WP on HD2

OR: did You register some added radar-sites in radar.txt modified by Yourself ? When in July I wanted to download aviation weather from a paid weather service (which I pay annually and use on PC) I received also a download error since WP cannot handle passwords
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
The GPS Port setting in WP Settings>Communication tab is a red herring. Development on the core WP software stopped back in 2005 when the developer went missing and hasn't been heard from since. The GPS feature was apparently intended for a future release which never came, so for all there is a setting for it, it serves absolutely no purpose at all and has absolutely no bearing on your 3G connection.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I am using the European radar.txt but that's it.

Surely if it was a to do with radar-sites then it would fail on wi-fi.

I will look into it with orange and see if they are blocking me.

Many thanks for your help guys, it's really appreciated.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Last thought??

I used to have this problem using my TYtnII and WP.

1. Check your 3G connection set-up first and make sure the proxies are off or set correctly.

2. Back up your graphics (icons and themes) and the uninstall/reinstall...no idea why but this always seemed to work!!

Good Luck!!

Nice images Dunc...indeed sunshine.....is that why the re-write is taking so long!!

I posted last week about same problem with wifi or 3g (no update ... ) I changed the rom from Energy to Artemis and all is fine now (I really don't understand the problem, and have no royalties with sir Sternas lol) but if it can help :rolleyes:

But for sure, it's not a problem with orange ... I have same config, same wifi, same data, and now I can update with all ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
you had to copy the whole first post to ask that?!?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Please always post screen shot of the graphic problem !!!! AND quote Your ROM version & WinMo-version. There are always problems with very old stock-ROMs and cooked ROMs as it turns out. Cooked ROMs might have bugs that show up only in some cases

Only THEN Dunc and Davej can figure out what the problem might be !

Mostly it´s a minor issue that can be solved easily
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
Well guys we have success.

I looked in to the orange [problem, do you know what they did?

They refreshed my SIM to my phone and bingo it suddenly works.

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't thought of it being a problem with the connection or permissions with orange.

Grymcent
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
WOW ! I´m really glad to hear THAT ! Happy for You that You have up-to-date weather data also on the go now (hope You have a good data plan, downloads for WP are MASSIVE) :D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] v0jtisek:
My weather animation in CHT is updating via weatherpanel (ENERGY ROM) and my friend's weather animation is updating via classic sense weather (ELEGANCIA ROM). How to set updating via weatherpanel. When he doesn't let sense weather to update, he has no animation there. I mean animation with sunlights, raining etc.

Thx guys
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
WeatherPanel is a standalone app that has no connection to sense weather.

Also the data retrieval is from completely different sources.

You have only animations when You download Davej´s animation-folders, copy them to Your Weatherpanel folder and activate them in WP-settings.

(Read install instructions)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ed_sambo:
Hi guys

Quick question:

Where are the data settings held for cities, images, etc, as I reflash quite often and so would like to save them between flashes.

I have searched, but no joy!

Fantastic work by the way, I must have had at least 5 or 6 other weather programs before but none of them did quite everything that I wanted, and I ended up having to check all of them just to get the complete picture I wanted. Now I have DDT hooked into CHT and it's all I need.

Well played, sirs!!

Best regards.

You are all most welcome :cool: If you feel like buying us a coffee to show your appreciation I could do with a few right now to keep me awake through these long nights editing everything again for the translatable version which will be out shortly :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
yes, if you export this setting and restore after flash, even though my radar.txt does not reflect my added radars, it restores them in weather panel. After install, I click on weather panel, go through the couple of settings (like erasing the text box "start", and exit, then click on it again and voila: San Antonio is magically there!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ric69:
Hi, do you think it's possible to create a cab only with program in main memory ? (after a flash, we don't need to reinstall all, we have already the weatherpanel folder in storage) and it's very long to install with Xda_UC :o

I try to decompil the cab, but there is a "%CE19%" folder ... I don't know what to do with it (in fact ... really beyond of my competence lol) If you think it's a good idea, thks for your help :D

Help needed with a location for testing and with translations!

Could someone in the US please let me know which city I can put in to WP at present to guarantee getting a weather alert. I am trying to write the layout for the alert popup but as I've never seen one (and alerts only seem to apply in the US) I am doing it blind at present! It would be nice to see it before I release it so I don't embarass myself with a crap layout!!!!

Also, the next release has been rewritten to allow user translation through an external text file and I could really do with help from anyone willing to translate. I have done a German translation, but if anyone can help with French, Italian, Dutch, etc please PM me and I'll send you the text file and instructions.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
dallas, tx has an air pollution alert which should pop up if you enter it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phuong:
Hi @Dunc001!

Can you check for the update button, it quite not sensitive enough! It must be better if all button have the image effect.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] derrickadams:
I installed this on my Tilt 2 and it works pretty darn well. I have been having a blast checking out all the data this thing can display and keep record of.

I just wanted to give you a "WELL DONE" on this.

I do agree that the update button could be a little more sensitive. Seem like it only works when "touched" just right.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I have no idea why the update button isn't as responsive as the others - they are all written in exactly the same way in the layout files. I have made the touch area bigger for V2 but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. May be something to do with connection checking in the actual core software - don't know. Even if you select update from the dropdown menu you get when you press the settings button it doesn't always react straight away.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
well, I guess we can let this 1 quirk slide.....

:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Update button

Guys,

If you use the "settings" button to select update (with/without radar) you will see that it is not the button size or insensitivity but that the "updating" icon only comes up when its actually connected. :o

Try using via "settings" for now. Dunc and I are trying to make a tastier looking animated update icon which will help!! :D

Dunc is still working through the changes for the animated weather icons...sit tight I think his missus is looking over his shoulder...and the kids must be driving him mad :p ...it'll happen ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GLO:
Hi,

Firstly excellent job with the WP!

Im using the Energy CHT Dinik Sept 13 rom (6.5) and followed your instructions but i still have a small problem. when the weather is updated i can still see the previous temp underneath the new temp. Its as if the screen has not cleared properly.

Imagine 14 then 23 overlayed ontop of it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nrfitchett4:
no problems for me. It was me being sarcastic... :p

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Have you made the setting in Second Today settings to 'Use Custom Background' and selected a background image? Not having this selected is the usual cause of overlapping image issues. With WP running you need to press your hardware Start Menu key and go to Second Today>SToday Settings. In the first tab check the box beside 'Use Custom Background' and select whichever wallpaper image you want to use. Accept the changes and it should now exit back to WP with the new background and all problems gone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GLO:
Thanks,

I did have it set to custom background, but had not selected on!

Also, how can i open WP settings and change a layout menu.

edit: does WP load everything on start up? Ifso, how can i only load it when i launch it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Answers

The layout menus are in the WP/themes folder. They are variously called .wpl or .wpx or .wpd. Any good text editor will allow you to make changes. I would however suggest that you back up the original before having a tinker...otherwise you may end up as bald as me and Dunc!!

It is loaded on startup. If you want to switch it off use 2nd Today Quit. It is the 2nd Today apps folder. You can make a shortcut to it and even use the the icon I produced for this purpose a few pages back in the thread. When it loads, it loads the selected theme/layout/icons you have selected in the "settings" of the main app.

DDT Ultimate Weatherpanel working with CHT2.0

Just an FYI that I'm using this with the beta CHT 2.0. I had to reinstall after I installed the new CoOkie. I also had to go in and select "Second Today" as my weather application. Otherwise it didn't want to launch when I tapped the weather on my home tab.

I really love the DDT Weatherpanel. If I couldn't have gotten it to work I would've rolled back to CHT 1.85.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fz798:
Thank you for this! I spent tons of time chasing the stupid scrollbar on the right side, which reappeared after having lost access to the "plugins" tab of the Today settings page when "WeatherPane" is set as the Today module. So, I'd resigned myself to leaving the default weather app and put back HTC Sense as the Today module, and created a quicklink for Second Today.

Your workaround did the job wonderfully! I agree, WeatherPanel is amazing, as is CHT2... and I didn't want to give up either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GLO:
Im not 100% sure if this is the reason, but since loading it i regularly have issues booring my hd2.

Does this load on startup?

if not then something else is the culprit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] swear0730:
Thought I mention too that since its not part of CHT home tab I don't think its being launched at startup. Could be wrong about that but to be sure I put a link for SecondToday in the startup folder. That way I'm sure that I am getting my radar updates.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
When the HD2 is Softrestarted Second today is not loaded automatically.

BUT: when You opened it once after softreset it stays resident in memory and will download automatically fresh weather data according to Your preferred update schedule (e.g. 6 hours).

This is very important when You go abroad since 2nd today will download even in roaming. So to avoid high roaming data bills switch off "automatic download" before You leave Your country.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GLO:
I have uninstalled the weather panel to see if it improves, and it has hasnt lock up yet,but i still find that upon booting up, the soft key for weather panel is still displayed on the today/lockscreen (although its not active)

I really want to use your weather panel but need to find out why its having issues with booting up my HD2.

Please let me know your suggestions.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Softkey? Nothing to do with us I'm afraid.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GLO:
How else would it create a Weather Panel softkey?

That aside, does weatherpanel load up anything at start up?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Weatherpanel does not creat a softkey. It is a Today screen plug-in and cannot run on it's own without (in this instance) Second Today. When you install the all in one cab it will install Second Today (which will appear in your Start Menu only) and Weatherpanel, and make all of the necessary settings for WP to appear when you open Second Today. Absolutely nothing about creating a softkey.

If you are still confused then post a screenshot so we can actually see what you are talking about.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
FINALLY!

Finally I have got the first post updated with the final version of the theme, plus (drum roll please.....)

Dave's Animated Icon Set !!!

The instructions have all been updated to instruct on what you need to do - basically an add-on copy of the theme with layouts altered to accomodate the animated icons, which differ in size to the statics.

V2 is also now translatable through use of a translation file (lang.txt) which you place in the main WP folder on your storage card - instructions in first post.

Sorry it has taken so long coming but I've had rather a lot on :rolleyes:

Enjoy :D:D:D
