Working well...couple of issues?

Hello!

Really love this app and how versatile it is. I can tell a LOT of work went (is going?) into it and I THANK YOU!

I'm running on LG VS-750 (Fathom) (latest 2 different roms) with WinMo 6.5.3 and everything seems to work very well and fast...so far :)

The one issue is: On both the Titanium plugin as well as the HTML report there is a section which displays the location URL and some text..."blah, blah". I'm using accuweather, don't know if a different service would change this.

Is there a way to get rid of this??? It mars an otherwise nice looking display of the weather icons.

Also, now that I'm thinking of things...the fullscreen settings display TILED images (AccuweatherHD) on my WVGA device.

Lastly...Isn't there ANY way to get this to display a fullscreen or something close to it in iPhoneToday???

Large screen weather and a decent large screen CLOCK in that GUI would make it just about perfect...but I suppose that's for another thread. Love to hear your thoughts.

THANKS for any help and keep up the great work!

EDIT: SORRY...as for the tiling of the fullscreen images I just read the readme file (DUH!!!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@jebep: Glad you like the program! :) To answer your questions:

1) yes I am still working on TRITW. There's still lots to do, thankfully, most of it is in the GUI and not in the background process. Development however, is much slower atm as I am back at Uni and therefore swamped with coursework.

2) Yes, there is a way to modify what you see, both in the HTML & the Titanium View - the files in the feedconfig directory are actually serialised objects ;) if you want to get rid of that frame altogether, you can remove this:

<WeatherFrame>
<Id>xxxxxxxxx</Id>
<Name>Locality</Name>
<Text>
<string>adc_database\currentconditions\url::value</string>
<string>adc_database\copyright::value</string>
</Text>
<Icon />
</WeatherFrame>

In the same way, you can completely customise what you see on the views too.

3) For iPT, background switching hasn't been implemented yet, there are two options:

a) use iPT in today plugin mode, with the today background changer in TRITW enabled

b) write a short extension (e.g. in mortscript) to do the work.

For the tiled effect, obvious you read the readme, if you come across any nice graphics to use for your devices resolution or resize any of the existing images, post a link so we can share because that issue will probably not get fixed, unless I learn some really neat tricks... :cool:

Hi can someone help me please, I installed TRITaniumWeather 6.2.1 - "WhiteDwarf" but when I run the file from start menu, I get error:

An unexpected error has occurred in TRITWOptions.exe. Select quit and restart the program.

TRITOptions.exe

ObjectDisposedException

at

Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()

at

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show()

at

TRITOptions.MainForm.Main()

I'm running WM6.5 Orange official ROM with MS Framework 3.5

Any ideas? Really wanna test this out.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@Tozzy2: Sorry so long for the reply.

I haven't tested the program on an official rom before but either way, with .net 3.5 it should work.

I haven't seen that kind of error in a long while (since the very first C# version) when I was trying to do state/condition saving in the finalisers...

So, i'm not sure what the problem is there-do you even get a message box with the copyright information before that error message occurs or does it happen straight away?

I'd try deleting the State.xml file that's bundled so you can retry with a blank config file, just make sure you say "no" to importing your details from version 5.9.9pre and below.

I'd also take a look and see if a log file is generated in the program directory called TRITW.x.log where x is some number starting from 0. It probably won't say much but if you post it I might be able to figure out what's happening on your device.

Cheers!

Can't quite get it to work

What kind of file did I download from Megaupload plz? Windows 7 calls it a ".7z" type file. I have tried renaming it .cab .exe and .zip with no luck. So far this does not work for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@cowboyjoet: Hey there, you need to download 7-zip and once that's installed you'll be able to unzip it and find the cab inside :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cowboyjoet:
7 zip

Wow, I have been tinkering for a long time on gadgets and I have never heard of 7 zip. I find that odd but I will check it out. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
hahaha that's extremely weird that you've never come across 7z; it probably has the best speed/compression ratio of any other format, and it has been in the top 50 projects on sourceforge.net since I found sourceforge in the 1990s

It also has support for just about every common compression format; from self extracting .exe installers (helpful for getting at the contents of a lot of microsoft installers) to .iso files... lol it really upsets me when I see people using the winRAR trial.

Also, 7z officialy supports windows mobile; go get it for your phone :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@link68759: lol, I know exactly what you mean! 7-zip is on my 'first install' list for both GNU/Linux and Windows :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Hi there boys and girls,

Since megaupload was taken down yesterday I've re-hosted the cab files and fullscreen pack on multi-upload and updated the links here. Let me know if any are broken or if you have any problems.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link68759:
It's interesting that RIAA doesn't even need SOPA to get this done. To maintain their image, representatives will openly oppose SOPA, but they can approve warrants like this all they want (or even just greenlight the seizure without bothering for a warrant) and the effect is still the same, so long as they don't tread on google, microsoft or others bigger than themselves.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@link68759: Check this out too: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/01/23/will-the-government-sabotage-the-cloud/ Not even a civil lawsuit filed against megaupload! It's all very worrying...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SDreamer:
Download link seems to be down again. I just took the jump to 6.5, liking it so far, only missing this seemingly awesome plugin :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@SDreamer: Thanks for letting me know and sorry it's taken so long to get back on this. I see what you mean, multi-upload's not doing the business, I'll re-host on ubuntu one later.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Hello @arealityfarbetween, or any other members who may be able to help please...

It seems the DL links in the first post are down; I have found a copy of TRITW 6.2.1 elsewhere on the internet but am unable to get it to run satisfactorily and therefore suspect it is defective....

Can anyone provide a clean copy of both the application .cab and also the full screen Weather Pack please ?

On the version I have tried I have been completely unable to get the Sleuth MyLocation to register; also (and here probably just being completely dim) could not work out what the From - To settings on the first Settings tab relate to. Obviously selectable between 0-100, but no indication what the measure is ?

Many thanks in advance for help !

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@kevinpwhite: Our PMs have answered most of this post for you already, however one unanswered question is the configuration options on the first screen in the 6.2.1 cab found in the wild.

If you press the up/down buttons, you'll see the first two should only range between 0 and 23, those are measured in hours, the last one is measured in minutes. So you can say: TRITW, update between 7 and 23, every 120 minutes. It was a feature I really liked from the original TitaniumWeather to save data (e.g. when you're asleep, and don't need to know the weather) which I'm pretty sure I propogated throughout all the releases, IIRC ;)

Anyway, for those others. I have the source, I now have the cab tools installed on my system and I'll try my best to come up with something hosted somewhere rock solid, complete with the fullscreen zip as I found a copy of that too.

Will post later.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
@arealityfarbetween, many thanks for the clarification above.... as I suspected the .cab file I found is probably damaged as it allowed scrolling between 0-100 rather than the time window as you describe - I thought that was what it should be doing but it didn't make a lot of sense !

I have put the working copy of TRITWeather 5.9.8 onto a stable server together with a simple Start_Icon as used in my signature ROM. The .cab is slightly modified to install into a specified Start sub-directory but the rest of the contents are unchanged.

Regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Don't know if you guys noticed but I updated most of the links on the first post. I'm getting to the source, it's just taking some time while I make sure my development environment is up to the task.

@kevinpwhite: I think I spotted the error causing the Sleuth problems. Unfortunately it's not something that can be fixed without a recompile, and I was pretty close to avoiding the problem altogether... Anyway, will get back here soon, but the fullscreen pack is up-a long with some themes. I've had a little practise making icons since last time I worked on this so I'll take a look at that too, see if we can get something :cool: for your rom ;)

Almost completely unrelated to TRITW; is your ROM for work or play, or everyday, btw?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
@arealityfarbetween, many thanks for the update on developments and confirming there was a glitch with the Sleuth angle - thought it was my finger trouble for some while ! I shall DL the fullscreen pack and have a play.

The ROM is not specifically aimed at any discrete activity - meant to be a good well-rounded base with carefully selected built-in functionality such as TRITWA on which users can customise to their own taste. As to what the wider user base does with it I'm not sure ! By all means have a quick browse via the link in my sig - there are quite a few screen shots to illustrate.

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@kevinpwhite: Looks pretty cool, wish I had a TG01 ;) Some of the improvements I was thinking of writing you already have, e.g. I could never get the favourite contacts titanium plugin configuration app to work and always had to edit them manually :( However, I was thinking of going a bit further with the poom database and some social media integration for the folks who want it (I personally, like the photo sync-it's pretty much the only reason I use HTC Sense now and again...)

Anyway, sorry it has been so long. I've been testing this version and ironing out some issues with it, had to hold myself back from rewriting the GUI entirely otherwise this post would be a lot later. It's like a room full of small furry animals, then something exploded in there...

There are a host of features that it'll take too long to go into really, with your last version being 5.x. Best I can say is, give it a whirl and feedback any problems. I can't promise I'll get to them straight away, unless there's something critically wrong...

I've included an icon in the cab, which should be set correctly in the start menu after a soft-reset. Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
@arealityfarbetween,

Many thanks for the updated edition. I've DL'd and will check out and report developments :)

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Hello again @arealityfarbetween..... at last with some holiday time, I have had a chance to try integrating the new edition of TRITWA into my ROM - overall it seems to work fine and is definitely much quicker...... but I do have two specific queries I'd appreciate your thoughts on:

1. I am looking to use the Titanium Overlay option with a small(ish) icon of current weather top right of the screen. I have made a partial set in 800x480 to suit the WVGA TG01 and they display fine in Portrait mode. However when you go to landscape, the image becomes stretched widthways and distorted. I have experimented with using different sized images including 800x800 but that gets distorted the other way :(

The normal Titanium screen has two image files - one for 480x800 portrait and the other 800x480 landscape. Is it possible to accomodate that arrangement in TRITWA please or is there an alternative way you could think of of achieving correct display ?

2. I have noticed that there is some reluctance for TRITWA to accept a change of Theme selection - I can select/save a change between whatever themes are incuded in the appropriate folders but it is very hit and miss as to when the change beomes effective. I have tried various steps including Update, OK, Update (or OK) followed by a S/R, switching tabs and then Update / S/R, etc. but sometimes it does and most often not. This may just be finger trouble on my part but I'd appreciate any clues you can suggest please ?

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Cheers for the feedback, hope you had a nice holiday :)

I didn't expect you to see an overlay in titanium's horizontal mode, it's only supposed to install into the portrait cpr. Did you cook the overlay in both CPRs or install through TRITW after flashing?

It's definitely possible to accomodate the arrangement, but I'll need to make some minor modifications to the overlay code. i.e. i'll copy the images over to tritw_pt.img and tritw_ls.img. Handling cases where a landscape image isn't present may be a little trickier but we'll see how we get on.

For getting settings to stick from the GUI, i've noticed that sometimes you need to switch widget-otherwise the event driven stuff doesn't fire and cause the settings to be saved. So if you change something, like the interval, or default location (just two examples) I usually switch tabs before quitting which generally makes changes stick.

IIRC, getting a theme change to go through involves two steps, changing the theme (!-see above paragraph ;)) and doing a successful update. I don't think a successful update using old data will do the trick-it has to succeed at the data refresh stage.

So, no it's definitely not your fingers-but rather my shoddy first attempt at writing a GUI. I will update sometime soon :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Thank you; still off so hence opportunity for intermittent looks at this :)

For the moment I've cooked in as a .cab which auto-flashes post first boot. Couple of screen shots attached. The icon position isn't right but gives the general idea - to echo the semi-transparent Windows icon in the lower right. I thought the full screen 'Transparent' version great but a bit too dominating.

It's definitely possible to accomodate the arrangement, but I'll need to make some minor modifications to the overlay code. i.e. i'll copy the images over to tritw_pt.img and tritw_ls.img. Handling cases where a landscape image isn't present may be a little trickier but we'll see how we get on.[/QUOTE]

How have you set to write to the PT or LS .cpr files ? I had previously had a brose thorugh the various .xml files but didn't see anything related. Therefore assume is compiled in the .exe ? If there is somthing I can access by all means let me know and I can try some experimental edits.

Thanks - that largely confirms what I'd found by experience, but wasn't sure to get repeatable results !

I'm thinking in terms of creating a specific set of icons as the theme with complementary transparent overlay for the titanium screen - I like the idea of having discreet visibility even when the TRITW plugin isn't selected. So (for the RIM at least) I'm not anticipating regular changes to the image sets, but good to know, particularly for others who may use and prefer different graphics.

On a related 'theme' - I've been (fruitlessly) searching to see if I can find a source for the 'un-framed' version of beyond invisible's lovely icons - but no joy. I saw a post way back from Sleuth (as in MyLocation) looking for exactly the same thing but the trail is cold. Just wondering if you might have any clues ?

No, not shoddy - just evolving nicely. A few brief process step instructions on the GUI pages would quickly clarify :)

One other thing I meant to mention - is it possible to dispense with the AccuWeather.com notification which now appear on the first titanium plugin segment ? Not sure if that is something AccuWeather have required ? Wonder if could be repositioned as a message in the GUI instead ?

Look forward to any futher ideas - pse let me know if there's anything I can edit directly ?

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Yeah, I totally know what you mean-the beyond invisible could do with clipping down to size for the today screen view, and with the transparent overlay theme the main feature is always slap bang under the active panel. So I like what you've done with that one.

I haven't attempted it-I literally just thought of it now, but it might be possible with your new theme to achieve it without waiting for source code updates.

Try cropping the images down so that they fit both landscape and portrait orientations, then try updaing the cpr file. TRITW is pretty lazy, as long as it sees the text "TRITW.img" (minus quotes) in the portrait cpr it'll assume that it's installed ok. Check the cpr files for portrait and landscape-i'm fairly sure there's options for width/height/xoffset/yoffset, amongst other things.

I haven't looked hard for documentation on the cpr files through msdn so if you know of any pages, please share.

The GUI simply needs to be majorly rebuilt. I will look at it sometime...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Thanks for the comments - yes it looks as if it should be possible to tweak via the .cpr files. Here is the code out of the PT and LS versions:

Portrait:

<Form>
<Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-52" Width="480" Height="800" Source="ConfettiPlus::WallpaperBitmap" /><Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-52" Width="480" Height="800" Source="\Windows\TRITW.img"/>

Landscape

<Form>
<Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-52" Width="800" Height="480" Source="ConfettiPlus::WallpaperBitmap" /><Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-52" Width="800" Height="480" Source="\Windows\TRITW.img"/>

.... so I think that if I set up both the same (eg. 480x480) and include in the cooked .cpr files it will already be in place when the device initially boots. So no need to do anything from the TRITW GUI.

We'll see !

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
@arealityfarbetween.... experiments have proved quite successful. I now have achieved correct (and separately controlled PT and LS) location of the Titanium home screen current conditions icon :) The .cpr files do the trick with the right settings.

I have found that I can use the same image files (currently a direct copy of) as the source files; so a request - is it possible please to chnage the .exe code so that one can select the same directory as is used for the Theme ? That would be more efficient by saving 1.7MB of duplicate files otherwise needed on the device.

Best regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Looking very good. And yeah, I'd already thought of that one ;)

Been refactoring some of the options program and trying to tidy up a bit.

Doesn't help you much when you're cooking but the Fullscreen files can be placed on the storage card under a folder named TRITW\Fullscreen-as long as the Fullscreen folder doesn't exist in the TRTIW program directory.

To answer your earlier question that I missed. You can modify the feed configurations with these versions completely. You can comment out, or remove the weatherframe that goes between the current one, and the first forecast one which should ditch the copyright information.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Thanks for the additional information - if you are able to enable simple selection of the same image files that will be really handy - I will then cook the settings into the registry so it is all set from the outset.

I tend to avoid using the uSD card for things like that - prefer to keep programme files in the main memory and use the card for maps, music, photos, etc.

And I will also have a look at the plugin config :)

Best regards,

Kevin

TRITaniumWeather 6.3 - RC1

Hi everybody, here's a release candidate for you to try out :)

Read the release notes, seriously.

Hope you like it!

Cheers!

EDIT: Caught an issue in the new Today writer. Oops! If you download again now, it should be as intended ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevinpwhite:
Excellent news - many thanks indeed. I will D/L and check out :)

@arealtyfarbetween

I have been having a play - but unfortunately have been unable to get this version to run successfully. I have been just trying to d/l weather for My Location (it's correctly identifying that from the Sleuth app) and London. When you select Update it starts the 'wait' windows bubbles spinning .... but just carries on for ever and crashes windows.

I've tried both direct install and cooked into the ROM; also a completely clean flash, so am a bit puzzled here. I wonder if you can suggest anything obvious I'm likely to be missing !

Regards,

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
Been trying to reproduce and I think it's to do with locations that have just been added. Does that sound right to you?

Could you post the log file? I'm impressed that it crashed your phone, I'd experienced the issue once and killed the process after about 10 mins. From the look of the log, the update was complete in my case.

Funnily enough running a normal update (using TRITaniumWeather.exe) straight after worked fine for me.

The only thing I'd try is exitting before you try the update; ie. go into the gui, define your settings and exit first, then go back in and update.

EDIT: Another nay-sayer on the vote; surprise surprise, no feedback.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
The new version is entirely C#, no mortscript involved. There was one script in the versions up to 6.2 to restart iPhoneToday, but no more :D

I knew there was something real important that I would forget. Updating the logs so they make sense... According to that log you've got three locations defined, they're all MyLocation varieties.

It seems to start downloading then stall, and there's lots of download failed issues going on for the last location so I think that's a new one-the other two look like they've locked onto the correct feed for MyLocation (samsu).

The "Complete." message is for sleuth's myLocation which is just a registry read. Did you start with a preconfigured state.xml file setup with locations?

There definitely shouldn't be a huge delay before the downloading starts, just after "Pass 1: 1349459329". There's practically nothing to do between those messages. Have you tried switching off the multi-threading?

Anyway, I've just shifted across to VS instead of SharpDevelop cos I got a whole lot more comfortable with that in the new job. Hopefully I'll have a new build done over the weekend. I'll make sure I update the log messages!
