Disclaimer​

Manila/Sense on many (cooked and stock) ROMs with many versions is sometimes very fragile. So you do this on your own risk. I hope, it works well, and will do what I can for all with troubles. But please make a backup before installing!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
For a first overview look at the attached zip. It contains the workspace and some additional files of the widget kitchen. A basic list of the files and the structure is in the manila files LG weather clock widget version1.txt file. I will extend this post later.

Edit: the workspace for version 1.4 is added.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
In the next post I will add some explanations.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Here are the workspaces of the widgets. You can find all the images, lua scripts and mode9 files there. A list of all the manila files is also included. If you use Co0kie's devmode you can test the widget with these files.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sorcerika:
works like a charm with my old friend x1i =)

anyway, I have 2 questions:

1. It seems the AM/PM letter (located over the flipclock) locked at PM. It should say '10:14 AM' but displaying '10:14 PM'. Maybe needs more testing.

2. Is there any way to change date to 'yyyy.MM.dd'? This is much more familiar than 'dd.MM.yyyy' or 'MM/dd/yyyy' in my country.

Sorry for my bad English and I appreciate your great work!

HMM tks BHS.. First time to install Forecast cab - SR : , everything worked fine ! update weather fine !

But after add some widgets > softreset : ......! crash sense
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
so the problem is not in the widget itself, but the relation with others widgets. You will have to work on this, and tell us the list of widgets you are trying to install and the order, if possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi all

Just have tested the Forecast Weather widget.

Here is what i have installed

Poy2Digital-BinaryClock

CHT weather widget

LG Optimus Weather Widget

State Links

Tab links

rat_266 Regulator Clock

rat_266 Golden CLock

But when i install the Forecast Weather widget sense wont start.

I have installed 10/20 widget fix to. Have tried the way from MrBeOTP2 but same sense wont start. After uninstalling the Forecast Weather widget all runs good.

regards Dic3ptor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
ok! try again .here is what i did !

1 - HR

2 - Install CHT -> SR ( sense OFF )

3 - Install Fix slot 20 -> SR ( sense OFF )

4 - Install Library cab -> SR ( sense OFF )

5- ( sense ON ) -> Work FINE! -> ( sense OFF ) : Install Forecast Weather -> SR

6 - sense ON -> work FINE ! Install my mod Softbar / ginger taskbar .. or somthing else- ( or nothing ) > SR

7 - >>

O_______________________O

8 ) Remove Forecast Weather -> sense run fine ? and can easy to install any widgets without problems

9 ) Here is Sreenshot before SR .... ( iF anyone interested my mod i will upload :D )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
At least I´m glad to see we had it working at one time :D

Yes mi friend, remember how we started chasing widgets when the first mods of other widgets starting ton appear. It was easier back then, because there were not that many widgets and we could "trace" the original widget. Now it´s become a bit more difficult and it seems almost impossible. Ya sabes a lo que me refiero (you know what I mean). So I guess it´s going to be more "trial & error" again and have some of the modded "files" under control and "surveillance" :(

At least I know that rat´s and your´s have always been "safe" widgets, as well as the ones released in CHT thread :D

Hola, I´ve had a similar issue, and then I reversed the install order of LG and ForeCast widget... and everything runs smooth.

But then again, as mentioned by Dunc and Poy, the install order and "Slot-Belegung" (Slot assignment or management) can be crucial, (especially if you´re also using CHTS). From my experience I´ve seen that if I start with a "safe" base (I usually install all "standard CHT Addon links and widgets from CHT thread first - first links, then widgets - links have special slots as well as widgets), it´s a bit easier to track down the "conflicting" widgets/files ;)

Hola Mr. Be, I found that sometimes after making only some changes in CHTE that implied a SenseRestart, sense would fail to load and loop, but then recover after a SoftReset...

Regarding "sharing" your skin, yes, please do so :D

@Rat - I made some screenies of both Widgets on both devices...

1. HD2 (25 & 26), all fine

2. HD Mini (60 & 61): Forecast now stable, but with LG I´m having some minor issues:

- version 2.13b besides the "size" (a little bit to big) good

- version 2.14 same as above

- version 2.14 shrinked, we PMed about it, but after you changed the size with 2.14b shrinked, size is perfect, but time is not displaying properly. Seems to display temperature instead of time (see pics.)

All in all, great widgets and muchas gracias for all the troubles you´re going through for us ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
=..= still can not find the best solution for this perfect widget :((

Give up now.. keep waiting T_T"

Here is new skin 4 Forecast Weather
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Gracias Mr.Be. If I find out any news, I´ll let you know :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] superas:
Good widget indeed, thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Update BHS: I just finished installing another 6 Addon Widgets and no probs, no loops and all updates fine :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi

Thats fine that it works for you. But i wont do a HR to install only one widget.

so i still wait maybe it will become a better solution for this problem.

EDIT: Now it works for me too! At first i have uninsalled the Optimus and the Forecast widget. Than i have installed the weather libary again, then the forecast widget and at last the LG Optimus widget and now it works! So thank you all for you tipps and answers!

regards Dic3ptor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
I´m glad it works now for you as well :D :D

See, I´m no friend at all of HR´s and I do avoid them. But since I´m switching ROMs and doing some other tests, I did not mind doing a few HRs these days also to make sure the widgets and "library" were "safe". Just in case yoiu should run into this problem again, dissable Sense, uninstall widget (not the library) and SR. If probs persist, try to "replace" the "library" file by uninstalling and reinstalling library. If this also fails, make a backup folder within CHTS but not "saving" with CHTS - you simply have to add the original files from CHT & ROM that are included with the cabs if available originally in CHT or ROM (e.g. library = 3a8e04af manila, use the one from CHT and not ROM, same with any other files that are as well in CHT and ROM) to your SaveMyDay Folder on SD via PC connection and after disconnecting and still on WinMo (Sense off) use SwitchGui to switch profile ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rclark27:
Rat_2665, I followed the install instructions for this Slot increase and now I don't even have a Main screen that works correctly (Digital clock not working). Using CHT Editor, I can not restore my old settings. CHT Editor does not seem to be working at all. Can you tell me or direct me to someone who can help me with this install? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, I´m not rat, but maybe I can help a bit...

Please tell me what and how you have done it... (Sense on or off, softreset when, what have you installed and how first, any other widgets installed...)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Try at first deinstalling the widgets ( not the mods and not the weather library!) with the windows deinstalling function. Make all restarts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Rat, he has posted the same post in CHT thread, so please excuse if I post the answer again, maybe he/she has done more than just installing your widgets and library...

Hola, I know you´ve also posted you´re issue in CHT thread, so let´s take it one by one...

What else have you installed afterwards? How did you install the widget slot fix?

I´m asking this before providing a new "7c60907d_manila". You could use the one included in CHT cab, but if you also changed the weather library and other things, we have to know so we can help you fix it and give you the right "pills" ;)

So I´ll be checking CHT thread in order to keep this thread "on topic"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi all

Here i have done a little skin for the Forecast weather. It is not ready but when and when it is okay for rat i will post it here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Can you try to do such a nice background also for the background of the simple four/five day forecast? BTW I made an error in the script at the size of this background. Will post a revised version shortly. EDIT: Here is it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi

Okay i can try it! You mean that smaler one it must be this file right?

06138FFA_manila

Here is the big skin for people that want have it! Hope you like it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mrhayami:
If you need a hand with any of it let me know, as far as the smaller image file its a 256x256 square and is made to stretch, if you do not want it to stretch you can make the image 128x512 or so on just must be a multiple of 2 and then also you must add a UV Value to it.

@rat

BTW rat I do not think in the release version of the weather forecast I finished adding in the UV value so your bg is distorted from what it normally is.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hi again!

Little preview:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Yes, it was. In post 197 is a corrected version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, I have in HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD

in HD2 ArtemisRom v37 the same version as you...

- "GoogleLocationService" 1_0_1_22

- "LocationServiceSetting" 1_0_20182021_00

and in HD Mini (Spanish Custom ROM from www.htcmania.com)

- No "GoogleLocationService"

- "LocationServiceSetting" 1_0_20121228_00

but after all what went on yesterday, I doubt it´s because of this..., maybe just coincidence
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donwhann:
nice.....where do i put the files...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
In the Windows folder on your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donwhann:
thank you..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Uninstall of 1.0 and re-install of v 1.1 went perfect, with no issues on both devices :D Muchas gracias amigos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mrhayami:
Great to hear!!!

@Rat

Missed the link >_<;; sorry I'm blind.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
You´re welcome - and I also missed the link the first time :o

@ both of you: Rat, remember version 1.4b shrinked for the mini and the PMs about it? Saugbaer and I have been doing some tests and here´s what we found out, which might be very usefull for other users and widgeteers as well:

1.- Shrinking the image sizes allowed you to save over 50% of the needed Filesize in MBs - so it´s a bit over 2 MBs versus 6.6 MBs on regular 1.4 version

2. - Shrinked version displays quite well on HD2 and perfect on HD Mini (remember Mini´s resolution is HVGA = 320 x 480)

3. - on both devices having the same issue, where time does not display. Everything else works perfect, and I also like the transparency of the two lower buttons better (017F6B46_manila and 019183C7_manila ?)

So maybe at the end, the version/kitchen got mixed... Here are some screenies of both devices running both widgets. No, not at the same time, of course :p

BTW, we tested also exchanging only the shrinked files (only the png´s) but the results on the mini´s sizing of the regular 1.4 widget remained ;)

HD Mini

61 = HD Mini version LG shrinked 1.4b (Please take a close look at the Time displayed... Everything else is wotrking perfectly)

62 = HD Mini version LG 1.4 standard with "shrinked" png´s

27 = HD 2 version LG shrinked 1.4b (Please take a close look at the Time displayed... Everything else is wotrking perfectly)

26 = HD 2 version LG 1.4 standard with "shrinked" png´s

We´ve also tried to repalce/interchange both lua's 05420e9e and 78fcfeaa from version 1.4 to the installed shrinked 1.4b, but without any noticeable changes on time beeing displayed... So any info welcome

To everybody else, the released widgets work perfectly fine and I repeat, this is about a beta version for the HD Mini with the positive side effect on the HD2 that it saves over 4 MBs :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
I said that the CFC-Compression of the manila qtc images caused problems in some ROMs, so can you try to take the all the manila files from the qtc folder of the 1.4 kitchen (they are non CFC) and copy them to the windows directory over the "shrinked version"?. Because all the png files are working and the clock images are compressed with CFC in this version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Yep you said it, and I forgot to check that again after 1.4 was working :o

Will replace the qtc´s and report back. Btw, the "shrinking" had a great effect on the over all file size, but not on the "smallest" scalable" size (for the mini). So there is still the "detail" of the corners of the lower part of the widget not being displayed on the page set, they show on the pages on the side... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Hello all!

Here is the complete skin i have made. Copy the files into Windows folder on device, restart and enjoy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Both widgets working perfectly on HD Mini

Did it the hard way, ahm, the other way, uncompressed the shrinked files (qtc´s) and copied to win root device :o and, of course it worked as well :D

Now on the HD Mini working and displaying as smooth and nice as on the HD2 :)

WeatherForeCast 1.1 and LG 1.4 shrinked with unconpressed and padded qtc´s on HD Mini

Muchas gracias for all your efforts ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
Rat, any conclusions yet, as to what the cause is for sense loops with the forecast widget?

It's a beautiful widget and worked well after initial install and after adding to home screen. But after a soft reset, sense loops endlessly, until widget is removed.

After uninstalling and another soft reset, I've tried again to install, but after soft reset, sense loops again, without even being able to add the widget to the screen.

So, for me, it is not usable on my device/rom as of now.

Currently running WM 6.5.x with sense 2.5.2021.

Thanks for your great efforts. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Hi, santod,

a proposal was to install the widgets and the library in this order:

- CHT weather library

- weather forecast widget

- LG Optimus widget

So maybe you'll deinstall all the widget and deactivate Sense during the installation of the parts ( but between the steps activate to check the working).

In the CHT Thread BHSInterceptor is working with rclark27 on this issue.

Greetings

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:

Thanks All,

I had no problem with installation, but when I try to save it to CHTS, I get an error saying it can't save the XML. Any ideas?

Thanks,

David
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Yes, there was a by xml not allowed blank in a name. So copy the xml file in the zip into the windows directory. I will add this file also in post 3 and correct it in the next version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rclark27:
With BHS's great help, I was able to get this wonderful Widget to finally work. After un-installing and re-installing the files (see CHT v2.0 post/threads) per BHS requests

and then disabling Location Services and putting the phone in Flight Mode

I was able to add this widget without any problem. My thanks again to BHS and rat for your help on this problem. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rossdonn:
is there a possibility that i can install ur very nice 3d clock on CHT 1.8.5?because CHT 2.0 is make my HD2 very slow..plss answer back coz i really like it:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
CHT 1.8.5 does not support widgets so it is not possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Dunc is right. Another possibility is to adapt this clock to CHT 1.8.5. For that the core functionality of the homescreen weather clock has to be changed. And you could only use it instead of the standard Sense clock. But I have not CHT 1.8.5 on my HD2, so I can't modificate it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, besides what Dunc and rat already answered, maybe you could check into why your HD2 is running "slow" with CHT 2.0.... It was deved just for the HD2, and on mine (HD2) as well as on my Mini (only half the processor of the HD2), CHT 2.0 runs very stable and no loss of speed on neither device. Btw, running on both all kinds of widgets and pages.... :D

Hi

Any new from y new version of the Forecast weather widget?

After flashing the new ROM it is not possible for me to become the Forecast widget

work again. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
What happened? Did you check the library file? Is it "up-date" probs or simply not displaying? I´m not on Artemis v56 yet, so I can´t reproduce your issues :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fast_zorro:
...yesterday updated to O2-3.14 ROM, today install LG vers 1.4 and Forecast -

Works fine, everything seems okay !!

THX guys !!!!!!!! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
When i install it with disabled sense, deactivated My Location and device is in plain mode all runs fine. But when i add it to screen i hangs on the upper left corner and i can not move. When i will hide it from screen, sense crashs.

EDIT: Here are 2 screens:

You see what i mean! I can not move it. When i tab on Screen and shoose ad a widget and remove it sense hangs!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Ok, sorry for your issue, but I kinda understand what´s happening. I will be upgrading to ver 56 this week and will be able to help better, but in the meantime, please try to do the following:

With "My Location" not set, meaning clock in nearest City, and in flight mode...

1) Dissable Sense

2) Deactivate / dissable "Location Services" in Windows/Settings/System

3) SR

4) Enable Sense again and see what happens...

5) If sense ok, the try to go to "edit home screen" / "advanced" / and uncheck the weather widget. Aplly and se what happens...

If this works, then we could see what can be done to get the widget up and running again. If this doesn´t work, then dissable sense again, and try to uninstall the Widget (without deleting/uninstalling) the library. If this doesn´t work either, the you have to "restore" the original library, not from ROM, but from CHT cab/files, until OP finds a solution, or I try and test another workaround ;)

And also, please let me know what other widgets you have installed and maybe other apps like CHT Tweaks and "widget fix files" (for widget slot issues) :D

Also don´t forget, just in case you have it also installed, that the LG Widget also uses the library, so maybe we could make a "parallel" test and see if that one works for you. This way we could pin down the issues a bit more and differentiate between "library" & "widget" issues. Also check in registry if widget slot is beeing used or not (CHTI.AddonWidget.Slots....)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
Okay thank you for your reply! I will test it and when i have result i give you feedback. One thing i can say, the LG widget always works fine.

For the moment i use. THe 10/20 slot fix and the LG widget.

And the Libary cab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
Dic3ptor, it is really hard to find the cause for this issue, because the widget interfers deeply with Manila. If you and BHS Interceptor don't find a way, I'll recreate your "environment" at the weekend (can't do it before) and look into it. But at first try it with BHS Interceptor. Thanks to you both.
