Ok, so it said installation successful (or something like that) after the install? Have you applied the 6.1.3 archive update?

What happens when you run the gui?

If the gui runs, what happens when you try and add a location?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
Hey, I'm back from testing the WP7 roms :D

Well I'm still having minor issues getting latitude to work with the latest patch. I disable the HTCGeo service, but supernova somehow gets it to work. Admittedly I didn't put my badge in the box when I configured everything and pressed update the first time... but now even if I enter my badge, it still indicates it's pulling location data from htcgeo.

Could you explain to me the way HTCGeoSvc works? I use latitude for my friends, and figure it would be less overhead for the weather to update via latitude... on the other hand, depending on how HTCGeo functions, I could just let it be and use that and turn off latitude's public mode and be more ay ease :)

Edit-

Also it didn't seem to be auto updating.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@link68759: Hey, sorry I've been studying for exams and had forgotten about your post till today...

SuperNova has a very simple mylocation mechanism-it simply tries all 3 services that are supported in tandem, starting with Google Latitude. Also, it will only update when a connection is already available. The only time I believe it will fire a connection is if you use the "Test MyLocation" button in the GUI. The problem is, that SuperNova doesn't know that HTCGeoSrvc is switched off :eek:

So, with this in mind I'd recommend making a wifi connection, if possible or atleast good 3g signal + data connection if not, and then testing the mylocation support from the GUI. If it reports that Google Latitude is the service in use then you should be able to pull an update that way.

If it still reports HTCGeoSrvc in use then try this url on your pc, inputting your badge where appropriate: http://www.google.com/latitude/apps/badge/api?user=your_glat_badge_here&type=json

It should result in a text file being downloaded with location information in there. I think it's simply blank if there's a problem with the request, but try it a couple of times to make sure (at initialisation it sometimes takes one or two tries)

If that works, then I've no idea why supernova isn't getting it but I've made a note of the issue for when I get the chance to look at the code again in depth (still one more exam to go, on friday)

EDIT: Just a thought, if you mean it's not running automatically at your set intervals, remember you still need to run the TRITWTurbo.exe file manually to set that in motion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
Right; I forgot to start TRITWTurbo; that was the issue.

As for latitude; the api file gives me the correct information and is not blank. Supernova doesn't use latitude even with wifi, nor does it if I set "GoogleLat" as last used in the state.xml file (not that this would do anything, but it shows that it ignores latitude and goes straight to HTCGeo)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@link68759: Could you pm/email me your json response which was on the pc? The only problem I can think of is if the json response is in a language other than english as it looks for a "coordinates:" in the response to get the lat+lon & city+country...

WhiteDwarf Release

Good afternoon everybody, it has been a long summer and I've been exceptionally lazy. For that I do apologise.

However, I have been working feverishly for the last week or so and now have a new milestone release. It's called WhiteDwarf because it's smaller than the explosion that was SuperNova, as I've managed to integrate quite a few features with decent results.

Anyway, the changelog has further details but major changes are thusly:

Internal scheduler support, no more TRITWTurbo.mscr.

Multi-threading.

Panels handled in a completely different manner.

Many, many GUI enhancements.

S2U2 support, Today background changing, Titanium overlay, and iPhoneToday support are all back.

Forecast cycling made aware of night-time with Accuweather-Long configuration.

Hope you guys enjoy this release. Please let me know if there's any problems, especially on the GUI side (resizing & placement errors, etc...)

Also, the stylesheet for HTML generation may need tweaking to your needs, the screenshots on the front page were performed on a recent wm6.5, build 29020-I am aware that the generated HTML looks different depending on browser. If you come up with a nice style sheet, please post it so everyone can give it a go!

Thanks Everybody.

WhiteDwarf 6.2.1 Update

Hi again everybody,

Did a bit of work on TRITW today and came up with an extended iPhoneToday display, so now we've got both a summary page and a detailed page showing forecast days and temperatures for your default location in iPT.

Hope you like it! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
Nice work!

I can't seem to add google latitude as a panel though; searching for "my city" returns 0 results. Am I forgetting something?

Google latitude takes priority over HTC Geo in this release consistently, so that's good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@link68759: Glad I squashed that Latitude bug! I caught another one too, in case you'd ever seen "Unknown Location" in your history... On the add location screen do you not have a new drop down list with the my location options in? There should be ;)

Note: That form just works by focus, so whatever you selected last will get added when you hit the "add location" button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
aha! works perfectly, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lolu:
problem with full screen

Hi!

I dont know how use tritanium weather in fullscreen mode. I unpack folders with wallpapers in "My storage" and what i must do next? I have no idea. Ask for help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@Lolu: Does the configuration app still show "No Themes Available" in the drop down lists on the extended displays tab?

After you run the configuration app you should see a new folder in the root of your storage card called "TRITW\Fullscreen", or if it can't find your storage card that folder will be called "Fullscreen" in the main TRITW program directory, look for that and place the fullscreen themes in there, then when you run the config app next time it should pick them up.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lolu:
Thank you very much!

Now it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] craysor:
hello, is it possible tu use it with gchris theme, especially fullscreenweather? and how about the ram-usage? thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
gchris's theme?

TRITW supports both accuweather and yahoo coded themes automatically so you shouldn't have to do anything special as long as it's coded in one of those two ways.

Ram usage on an update is around about 1.8mb depending on the number of locations you have configured, but of course that's all free'd up again when it's done.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
Hi arealityfarbetween! Wonderful implementation of weather updates! I've got an HTC HD and finally decided to stop using HTCSense, it's a lot if eye candy that I love, but it just eats up too much ram. I now use titanium and used your tritanium weather plugin.

I got it to update kinda similar to HTCSense weather by using google latitude, however, I was wondering if I was doing something wrong because it wouldn't update my location with just the HTCGeo service. HTCSense weather updates to city level whenever I travel, but not with tritanium weather.

Clicking the Test My Location button wouldn't update with my cellular data or my wifi connection active. Is there something I missed?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] craysor:
thanks for your fast response, ive installed it. but fullscreen isnt available on titanium. i see at extended displays "transparents" or "accuweather hd" and klick it - update - nothing happens. is it necessary to have a panel installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@stanburn: Does it not get the location at all from htc geo-service, or just not update the location when you go someplace else? Also, what version of sense do you have? I removed support for the service that ships with Sense 2.1 (though I'd assume on an HD, you'd be running Sense 2.5) because the keys in the registry for the location are only available when actually running Sense.

AFAIK the service with Sense 2.5 still updates even when Sense isn't running but TRITW can't force it to update in the way that Sense can. That's an improvement I would put on the todo list, if I could ever find some source that would allow me to interface with the dll properly instead of just reading the important registry keys...

A quick thought, is your ROM english? I just checked the MyLocation support and it gets the info from HTC geo service under the registry key "HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCGeoService\en_US" so perhaps a localisation problem if it's not getting any information at all?

@craysor: You don't need to have a panel installed to use the titanium overlay. However, the extended displays do rely on having the Default Location set properly. There is an issue with the GUI which means any change only takes effect when you handle another control (e.g. switching tabs, checking another checkbox, using another drop down list etc...). This applies to the default location drop down box too. So, the first thing to do is actually drop the list down and select the location, even if it's already the one showing, and even if you've only got one configured-then switch tabs or something which will make sure that setting gets filled in properly-do the same for the drop down lists and check boxes you want setting on the extended displays tab, then try an update.

I took a look at gchris' theme. Looks like a titanium mod-rather than a weather theme. As long as the cpr still has the main confettiplus background element, the overlay should install. There should be a log file in TRITW's program directory called OverlayInstall.0.log, could you post it and the TRITW.0.log after performing a full update?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] craysor:
at the moment gchris-theme is not installed.

ive seen that the "my location" folder isnt ok. when i klick it shows "could not determine location". ive only one location configured.

@craysor: hmmm, the overlay install log says it was installed but the main log says not available. I have a feeling I know what the unauthorised access exception may be, wrt applying the today background image...

For the titanium overlay problem, could you post your titanium cpr files? They'll be quite large so don't copy and paste, attach them to the post instead.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] craysor:
its not the first time that ive problems with the cpr while installing. but im not able to open the titanium file?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@craysor: I see. To test whether the overlay was installed correctly try this: disable titanium, copy any image you like from the fullscreen directory to \Windows\TRITW.img, re-enable titanium and the image you copied should show if the overlay has indeed installed correctly.

If it does show after you do the above, I can make a temporary fix which should allow it to show normally, although the log will still show not available. If not, it might take some time to fix up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
The Test button does pull up my correct location, however, when I travel, the location doesn't update. I have Sense 2.5, I use last ROM update that kwbr made for the Touch HD before he retired.

Ah, that explains it then. I use Mach2003's gps moddriver in place of HTC's location service. I find that it updates a registry key everytime the GSM radio detects a change in cell site, which it updates with the GPS coordinates taken from my past travels. Perhaps if I created a mortscript to copy the gpsmoddriver update over to the geoservice registry key, that should take care of my non-updating location. Right?

I ran into a new problem with it though. I had to re-format my phone because a lot of trash from my old Sens mods wouldn't uninstall cleanly. When I installed tritanium weather after a fresh flash this time, the gui crashed when I try to add a new location and retrying won't work. I fiddled with it and tried to create a fixed location and that worked. After that, I was able to add more locations without any problem. However, when I try to install one of the locations as a panel, the gui starts picking up data from the internet and then hangs. If I try to update without creating a panel, it hangs too. It does however update enough so that my s2u2 wallpaper displays correctly with a small icon of my city and current temperature.

I'm still going through the entire thread to see if I missed something, but are you familliar with what I described above? Is there something I did wrong? Perhaps one of the other titanium plugins I installed is conflicting with it?

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@stanburn: Is there any exception message when the GUI crashes? Also, the first update of an accuweather location can take some time as TRITW will check all the various apis for the best one to use so be patient on a new accuweather location.

If it's getting to the point where it's updating the S2U2 text & icon then the update must be completing without a crash... It's unlikely any other plugins are conflicting with it as each location essentially has the same layout panel but each layout is renamed accordingly. Myself, I haven't experienced the issues you've had so far... Sometimes text files do get borked when installing the cab (no idea how it happens though), so maybe try reinstalling the cab and see if there's any difference.

I might install the moddriver on my diamond so see if there's any way to add support for it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
Hi again! I got it to work again! Yes there was a .net error that explains the crash, and it only happens when I attempt to add a either MyLocation Accuweather or WorldWeather, with or without my latitude badge. This was after a fresh install. If I manually search for a location, though, the location adds fine, but if I install a panel for it, it never finishes. One of the log files ends with "Loading History... error" or "failed", I think.

I found out if I start then exit it a couple of times, there will be an empty box just below the "Add Location" button. That's when I will be able to add a MyLocation location, then install a panel and it will even end pretty quickly. I even renamed the animated vga images to use the names of S2U2 based on yahoo and accuweather weather codes. So I've got just the way I like it already. I can send them to you if you want, except the zip's 23.6Mb.

On using gpsmod, I was able to copy the long/lat values from the gpsmoddriver key to the htcgeoservice keys. Tritanium picked those up. I tried restarting the htcgeoservice, but it didn't do anything. it must be invoked some other way.

"@craysor: I see. To test whether the overlay was installed correctly try this: disable titanium, copy any image you like from the fullscreen directory to \Windows\TRITW.img, re-enable titanium and the image you copied should show if the overlay has indeed installed correctly."

i tried and failed???? i copied and nothing happens. i think i give up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@stanburn: Not sure what's going on with adding the MyLocation places, I'll need to know what the exception is called but I'll try and reproduce the issue myself-probably I'll get round to that over the weekend. As for renaming the images, you shouldn't have had to do that as TRITW should detect which coding the theme uses and do the appropriate conversion.

@craysor: If the image doesn't show when you put it under the windows folder with that name then it means the overlay hasn't installed correctly. You can install it manually by adding a new image element to your titanium cpr (just copy the one for Confetti and replace the source=confetti bit with source="\Windows\TRITW.img") however I'm not sure whether it will be detected on your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
Hi again! The error came back, but I'm not sure what's causing my problems. About a week after the fresh install, the panel stopped updating, and when I opened the gui, there were no settings for my panel, location or google badge. As though it was a new install.

I restored my files from a backup I created after installing and configuring it, and everything went back to normal, except Today overlays won't work anymore. The log file only says this:

Installing: LS_Global

The panel will have updated, but there won't be an overlay. I edited state.xml set the "Overlay" to "true" and added "AccuweatherHD" to "OverlayDir". The overlay worked this time, but TRITWOptions.exe won't exit or quit. I'd have to use a taskmanager to kill it. If I remove the overlay settings, TRITWOptions.exe updates the panel and exits cleanly.

By the way, can I ignore this error in the TRITW.x.log, or can I disable iphone today somehow?:

Applying iPhoneToday View... Failed.

As for the S2U2 background, I tried selecting it in the gui, but S2U2 background goes black. When I check the S2U2 settings, the wallpaper field was looking for a file with the HH_WEATHER_xx.xxx filename. When I renamed the xx.png animated gifs to HH_WEATHER_xx.xxx, that's when they started working.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. I don't mind testing and troubleshooting if it means it eventually it gets all the errors out. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@stanburn: That's some pretty weird behaviour... Are you using it multi-threaded? (Advanced Tab) Maybe try with that option disabled, if so.

Does the update log for your default location mention the titanium overlay? If the overlay worked at some point, at least there's no issue with getting the new image element into the titanium CPR. After a fresh install I did find that I sometimes had to go through two updates for the overlay to work though.

You can safely ignore the iPT failure, I'd only worry there if you actually have iPT on your device.

I am :confused: by the s2u2 wallpaper issue too, as the file names depend on what's in the theme directory so unless they were called HH_WEATHER* in the first place I don't know how that crept in there. The only place I've seen that naming scheme is with s2u2's other built in theme, but TRITW uses the custom format string...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
I didn't find an option to disable multi-threaded on. I've got a screenshot of the advanced tab attached to this. There's only the system browser checkbox. Unless you've released an update to 6.2.1 already, in which case I'll look for that. I did an update anyway after un-checking the use system browser option if in case that had anything to do with it, but no luck.

For now I extended my update interval to 12hours, I noticed if I left it at 1 hour, I'd have as many tritaniumweather.exe instances hung in the background for every hour since the last reboot. hehehe...

As for the s2u2 backgrounds, I'm not worried with it so much anymore. That's working pretty smoothly. My daughter loves it when the moon wobbles a bit and the stars blink in the sky. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@stanburn: Whoops! I must have put that checkbox in there afterwards ;) Do the titanium overlay options work from the gui with the update interval set that way too?

I've been meaning to tidy up the multiple instances issue but it didn't cause any real problems on my device, hopefully a fix for that might sort out the other behaviours.

I love the night time animations too, it's pretty much the reason for the fancy forecast cycling :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stanburn:
Hah! At least there's that to expect in the next update changelog. hehe

Anyway, setting overlay options stopped working via the gui. I learned to manipulate that in the state.xml file instead. When I enable overlay and update immediately, the state.xml file won't get updated.

If I enable overlay and select which overlay, and then exit it. The state.xml file will get updated, OverlayEnabled will be tagged "true", but the overlaydir won't get updated.

If I then update it either way, tritwoptions.exe will eventually hang, but the panel will get updated. No Overlay though. =P
