Sorry, no idea I'm afraid. Way back when I did the update I know there was still an active community in Germany who were ensuring that the access to the wetter.com server was still granted. Whether anyone is still ensuring this now I don't know. I remember at one point two or three years ago the access was revoked and had to be granted again - perhaps this has happened again? With this and the fact that the lunar cycle database is about to expire maybe it is finally the end for WP :( Regardless, I am glad you and thousands of other users have had good service out of DDT over the years :cool:

Hi there, have the same problem, last update at 13.08.12, 21:38...

Seems to be the deathblow for WP, and another argument to let my old TP2 go to retirement.... beside a dying keypad and a crumbling backside... :crying:

thanks to dunc001 for that nice prog, and sorry for the dust! ;)

Hi

I think Dunc001 is referring to the community over at http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel ,if thats correct, then it does look like the end, there has been no activity on the board since March 2012. I tried registering last weekend and I am still waiting for authorisation. It's a shame, really liked weatherpanel
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] slickeric:
Storyr over on the forum I mention above, has had a look, says it's a problem with PHP files, but he doesn't want to spend too much time on trying to figure the problem out if there isn't much demand for it. If any one is a member of the forum and wants Weatherpanel, it might be worth adding your request for him to try and fix it

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Hi Dave

Yes it only had the weather panel tab selected but as it was causing so much grief (phone barely useable) I've had to hard reset.

Somehow however my phone is still having severe problems, though, even after doing a hard reset, which didn't make any difference.

The phone keeps locking up, and I keep getting Sense restarting at random, SMS messages/emails (or other screens at random) not being visible, so it's become a complete nightmare since I tried weatherpanel as these issues have never happened previously.

It's always possible that it's a coincidence I suppose, but it did begin the very moment that this was installed unfortunately, and I've certainly never had problems like this before.

It looks like I'll have to flash it now with a new rom to fix the problem (I hope). :(

I appreciate that trying stuff out always incurs a slight risk of something going wrong so I'm certainly not complaining about it (I'm aware how much time & effort these things take), but I am a quite gutted. One that I can't use such a lovely app, and two that my phone is now knackered which is making life a bit tricky until I can hopefully flash it tonight.

I thought I ought to mention this in case anyone else is having similar issues after installing this.

If you've got any idea how this could have happened I'd be grateful as I'd love to be able to use this, but daren't risk trying it again for now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Hi Cret !

To prevent these unhappy events in the future do like I always do:

before installing a new app that works together with a lot of hardware in the HD2 I always do a full backup (in my case with SPB),

In case something goes wrong with an install-procedure I just do a full restore and HD2 is happy again.

After every successful install I do a thorough cleanup with JunkCleaner and an Autoclean with SKTools and Registry-optimizing. This prevented me from dozens of necessary reflashes due to goofed HD2 after some app-or mod-install.

(Sometimes it seems to me that most of the bricking is because in each language "Storage Card" is called different as well as "Programs" and all the other core-folders of WM6.5

I don´t understand why these important folders have to be named different in all the ROM-languages :mad:)

This procedure also helps if You do some graphical mod that sometimes can´t be undone so easy due to search for manila-Files corrupted or reg entries.

WP install for me was perfect fine and smoothe and worked (and works) perfect on my HD2 with Ger Stock-ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Weather Panel bricked Cret!

Yo Cret,

I'm with Troed on this.

If the install to the "programs" folder on the SD card is erroneous you will create a **** storm when it tried to load from "Home2".

I had similar problems using a glorious version on my TyTnII....sorted by ensuring I had uninstalled all the folders correctly and that I had the home tab pointing to the correct Marsware folder on my SD card. Actually across 2 phones and lots of tweaking (I am a weather nut...cyclist) I found it to be pretty bullet proof.

FYI...I am using WWE Hong Kong 1.72 ROM...flashed after a near bricking of my crappy carrier loaded ROM...it is very stable if you don't mind the odd Chinese keyboard!! :D

Look forward to hearing of your success with a new ROM. :o

Sorry I couldn't help!!

Thx a lot.... works like a bullet.....very nice work!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
I just realised actually that after uninstalling that there was still a marsware weather panel folder in Program Files folder on the card. So I guess when it uninstalled it did not get rid of that from Program Files, and was still referring to it in some way or other.

Deleted it, and it looks like the phone is beginning to behave a bit better, so it might actually turn out that the hard reset wasn't necessary, and a ROM flash also may not be needed.

So I just tried installing it again (this time JUST the weather panel cab for basic testing), this time to main memory, but straight away I started getting problems again.

This time it was not as bad though (although I did remove it pretty fast admittedly!). Mostly what was happening is when I scroll to the SMS or Email tab in Sense, the title of a message appears at the top, but nothing in the main area beneath it. When you then touch the screen to fully open the message in question I would get a blank screen.

As soon as I uninstalled WP, this problem was cured.

After uninstalling, I went to Program Files (main memory though of course this time) and sure enough there was still a Marsware folder installed. So again, it highlights that the uninstall process failed to complete properly for this app, even though I said yes when prompted with "Delete files and settings?".

Be aware all that if you uninstall this app, that it may not full remove, and you need to check for this sort of thing or you may get the same issues.

Now comes the bit where I get egg on my face as someone quotes a comment somewhere that says just what I wrote! :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] davej:
Cret....One for the OP coders

WOW...Cret that is something I haven't seen! Perhaps the OP and Team should check this out! It suggests that there is something interacting between the file locations as determined by the program and where the registry thinks it is....or puts it???

The fact you can reproduce the error is a concern, and begs the question whether it is unique to you and your ROM or a more widespread problem...the joys of being :eek: PATIENT ZERO!! :eek:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
I'm good at breaking things mate. I do analysis (or mostly used to) and coding for work so I suppose breaking something outside work is no surprise! :D

Seriously though I've no idea why this would be happening.

What I'm going to try this evening is one of those new fangled formatting (task29?) jobs since I have changed roms maybe half a dozen times now, but more so because it's still acting up after a hard reset, which seems very odd to me.

It is STILL misbehaving in terms of sense restarting randomly and message contents not displaying correctly, so if I have time after cleaning it all off, I'll try installing weather panel after fresh install to see if it will work for me.

It's kinda fun reverting back to my trusty old XDA Orbit though in the meantime - it's a seriously good phone for its age and has never let me down!

Will post an update if I can manage to test out WP on a clean install later...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alby1kenoby:
Great job, really.

Only tiny shortcoming: that pestering sound (a noise, rather) that my HD2 plays every time I press a "button" save the "clockwork" one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Don't have that on mine - must be a setting for it somewhere? Battery is flat on mine at the moment (:rolleyes:) so I'll have a look tomorrow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I'm pretty sure this is ROM rather than app related. I've had my WP setup installed and uninstalled on my Elegancia v9.5 ROM several times already and no side effects.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alby1kenoby:
Thank you so much.

The tiresome noise is the same which is plaied when a random area of the screen is touched while it's locked but on (that is when you can see your "screensaver" image and the small button to be dragged to unlock it).

Tried to look for a setting to turn off sounds in SecondScreen application, but with no success though.

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Good chance you're right Dunc.

I've just gone through task29 and then a new ROM flash as it was still being a whore in general. I've installed the latest (I think!) Miri rom and when it was clean I did install WP again.

I THINK it worked ok, but foolishly I then installed all my normal apps without checking it out properly, and sure enough it started acting up again.

So while it could be the rom, I have a suspicion that it may possibly be a disagreement with some other app I've been using. Have just done a hard reset again and I'll install just WP then check it out and slowly begin to add other apps one by one (assuming my patience will last!).

Update in due course....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Ok, minor update.

I started from scratch again with the new Miri Rom, and nothing else installed.

Added WP and it appears to work fine. I like it - it looks great.

Then, I added CHTE (v1.61) because of course I need this installed so I can set WP as the program to use as the weather for CHT.

WP didn't seem to like this. Straight away there were problems.

Nothing too bad, but the same issue that when I open the SMS tab, the sender number is shown at the top but no contents, and when I touch the screen to open the SMS, Sense is relaunched. The second I try this, the SMS appears ok and opening the message also works ok.

HOWEVER, if I then leave the phone for a minute or two to go to sleep by itself, then wake it up, the cycle is repeated. Ie opening the SMS tab displays incorrectly, and opening the SMS message causes Sense to restart and return to the home screen.

I tried a third time and it did not happen but it did happen again on the fourth try. Go figure.

So to reiterate, this is ONLY with the addition of CHTE and WP on top of the Miri Rom (v17.5).

I hope this helps in trying to identify/resolve the issue. Would be good to know if other people can replicate this. I've had the problem now on two separate roms, (both Miri ones) and across a full format of the phone.

I'm going to try just one thing before I uninstall WP and wait to see if there is any update on here, and that's to see if there is a newer version of CHTE just in case that will help, but failing that being the issue, I'll reluctantly have to give it up as there isn't much I can try when it's breaking almost from the start. :(

Appreciate if this can be checked out, but I also appreciate that it's not always practical to investigate an issue based on a single user problem.

Cheers

Jim

*edit* Have updated to CHT and CHTE 1.85 and it's actually worse now. CHTE would not allow me to select an app for weather, ie it would flicker when the menu option of 'Weather' is selected, but not open the appropriate screen. So I went and ate some toast and when I unlocked the phone now, the display switches off again instantly. Meaning I cannot actually use the phone.

I think a battery out restart would fix this temporarily at least, but this had happened on my original attempt to use WP, so I'm afraid I have to bow out at this point as it's sadly appearing to be the source of all evil where my particular phone is concerned.

To other users - i wouldn't worry about what you read on my comments - everyone else seems very happy so I'm assuming I have some unique issue here that most people won't suffer from. Enjoy!

Cheers guys, great if a fix is sussed out for this but no worries if not.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Afraid not mate - those are the exact same ones I am using too. :(

Even after doing a hard reset again it's acting up, so I'm going back to running a task 29 to obliterate every last trace of any data on the phone. I'll just have to leave this alone for now as the aggro is too much to warrant trying it again without some sort of fault being isolated and resolved.

Thanks for the help though dudes.

Is anyone else having this problem? Haven't seen any other posts so pretty sure it can only be reacting with something specifically on your setup (other tweaks or apps maybe?). Also, problem is more likely to be with Second Today rather than WP as there shouldn't be any way WP could conflict with Sense if you followed the setup in the first post.

Working just FINE with my Topaz, Windows Mobile 6.5 and CHT 1.8.5

I have it working for ages, and now just add the profile in this thread.

Is looking better as the layout is better to WVGA screens, and the new icons "Sence Style" are really great.

Anyway, I have some issues with "Waiting for Storage Card" error, that I solve in the reference in the first post. But I found some garbage in the phone, that everyone having instalation issues should know about:

If you are Reinstalling Weather Panel and Second Today, after Uninstall delete Marsware and Second Today folders in programs. Re-start your phone and do the install procedure in the first post.

Those that have Weather Panel and Radar Weather installed, can just add the new Theme and Icons, and change your settings. No problem at all.

Thanks to Dunc001 for all this "compiled" work.

Weather Panel is a great application and new Icons and Themes are just great to refresh the layout.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Sure you're probably right mate. Just seems odd that even after a total format, fresh Rom install and then installing WP, that it goes haywire the moment I install almost anything else.

I'd LOVE for other people to say they've had the problem too, although obviously just from a point of view that it might highlight some flaw, since otherwise it just makes me look like a simpleton that's doing something wrong. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] drblow:
Wow. After a week of torture with my phone I stumbled across this thread and I am having pretty much exactly the same issues.

I had WP and the old radarweather theme (the one meant to go with MTP) installed on my old elegancia 9.0 rom and everything ran without issues. I updated to elegancia 9.5 and my phone just started to act weird - I don't get the message problem, but after a few hours it starts to get realy laggy and slow, and it does the thing you mentioned where it either won't wake up or it wakes up & the scxreen goes dark again immediately requiring a battery pull.

I thought the problem was with the rom, but I am having the same issues on an NRG rom aswell.

I always install WP to main memory not SD card. I guess I can live without it - I use SBSH pocketweather too. But if anyone could solve this it would be great as WP is the king of weather apps & I need weather on my phone big time.

Hello,

Great job. The second today screen works on my HTC HD2 (WM 6.5 - CHT 1.8.5) But one step, the last one, does not perform : in CHT editor, when I choose Second Today in Weather Apllication, nothing changes; and when I use JWMD Icon changer, Second Today does not appear, like other apps, so it is not possible to make an extra link to Second Today.

Can you help me ?

This didnt work well for me. Everything was very small and it didnt cover my whole screen. I think its a problem with IE font size just like i get when trying to use weather watcher app. Running on NRG rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
When you first start WP after the install if you don't change the theme and layout I'm pretty sure it start in a default layout which crams everything in at the top of the screen? If that is what's happening you need to tap on the top left area of the screen and one of the minute icons will bring up a dropdown menu with Settings as the bottom option. Select settings, go to Display tab and set theme and layout as per the first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
If the Second Today folder has appeared in your start menu and there are three icons in it then it should show up in JWMD. I've just checked mine and it's definitely there. I'm assuming you installed ST on your device and not SD card as per instructions. If you are able to select it in CHTE Applications then it is definitely there - depending on how much you have in your start menu you may have to scroll down in JWMD to find it.

When you use CHTE to change the application nothing will change visually on your home tab, just that when you touch on the weather element of the screen it will take you to WP/ST rather than to the Sense weather tab.

First of all, excellent job....

But I have a problem with "Display>layout dropdown"...I mean: I cannot see either Phat+265.wpl or Phat+265Kangmas.wpl....only others layout but not those ones... I copied the altered folder in SD-program files path....

I followed exactly the instructions posted on first page... Boh!?!

The app works and I see my city but obviously the layout is small compared to that layout, fit for wvga screen

any idea? thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
Did you unzip the folder first? Make sure you have copied the complete unzipped PhatPhinger folder into Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes. Also you have to make sure you select the PhatPhinger theme in the top dropdown box otherwise the layout files will not appear in the second dropdown (BTW the dropdown list is scrollable so it may just be that you have to scroll down the list to find them?). Let me know if this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] silasbach:
After unzipping the PhatPhinger.zip, you have a folder with another folder within. I only copied this "inside" folder to the themes folder of WP. Did you do that? Or did you copy both folders into Themes?

Btw. it works perfectly on my HD2 with Goatrip 4.9 on it. Way better than the build in Sense Weather... :)
