I installed teh touch today plugin, but when I was going to sellect my city it was not in the list. Then I tried the same as alanp23 sugested in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310661&highlight=accuweather
I allso tried to change the settings directly in the registry, but still no luck...
Tried to type the same as alan23 (<city name="Helsinki, FI" locationcode="EUR|FI|FI002|HELSINKI"/>) and it worked fine, but when I type in my location in Norway "EUR|NO|NO007|SUNNDALSØRA" I get "Unable to retreive data for selected city" I allso tried other cities in Norway, but got the same error...
Someone who got a tip?
MOD EDIT: Please post in the proper place and don't start a new post until you've at least read through the first page. I found these three different posts in the Wizard Mobile 6 child forum and NONE of them had anything to do with Windows Mobile 6 in particular.
did you try editing the xml file instead?
Weather for HTC Home plug-in (Merged from 3 separate threads)
Hi All,
I have just put together a .xml file for the New HTC Touch Today plugin's weather feature! This file contains UK Citys Only, just thought it would come in useful, just copy it into your Windows directory on your device and away to go! Please make a backup of your existing file.
Also does anyone know how to change the Temperature measurement from fahrenheit into degrees celcius? The options button on the today menu screen in control panel is greyed out.
Thanks
AJ.
When selecting the citie you want, you have options, and this is explained in other thread.
A lot's of threads about the weather panel are being created because lots of people don't search before post!
Yes, as "alanp23" suggested.
After I wrote my post I read that some people allso had problems adding smal cities... Strange
thanks and Doh!, i did search but could not find any threads which told me how to change it, but thanks anyway.

What about the weather for areas with no location code such as smaller cities in the US?

You can use regions of states, but smaller cities don't. That's the same all arround the world, not only for the US.

How can change weather Unit for HTC Home plug-in
hi all
i installed HTC Home which have weather panel.
the question is: is there any way to change the unit from Fahrenheit to centigrade !!
Tap where city is listed then menu in lower right corner then weather options
I don't know about centigrade (never heard of)
But for Celsius go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings]
Create a new DWORD-Value called "Celsius" value "1"

Andrew - thanks for the file - saved me a lot of bother. BTW I have read numerous posts about messing with the registry. I found the UI easier. When you select the city in the dialogue box use the menu command in the bottom right then select weather options - its a radio button selection - so much for the geeks solutions

Thanks for the hint.
Centigrade & Celsius are the same. Centigrade was widely used in the past, but not anymore.
If you want to check whether your city will dispaly with the weather than use this site

I'm sure many of you have seen and heard this question before, but I have searched all over and don't seem to be able to find:
1. Where to get the latest version of HTC Home. Evidently there are many versions. Being as I'm running WM6 on my mogul, I guess I'm looking for the latest compatible version. I have found JUVS_HTC_Home_Sprint_Plugin_v1_0_824711-0.cab and HTCHomePlugin.cab. I think the shorter filename is an earlier version, but I can't tell you why I think this. Maybe the context where I found it.
2. Instructions on how to install this stuff I have downloaded. What am I supposed to do with these .cab files?
Please excuse my ignorance and the redundancy of this question. I'm pretty new to all of this stuff.
thank you,
TC Harp
ok heres where i got mine i think http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html
now go to start / my computer / open up your phone (should be at the bottom) and place the cab file in the "my documents" folder..run the cab file and once its finished restart your phone and should be working
Well, it seems to be working. The longer filename was a quick launch only. The other file is working better for me. Now if I can just find how to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the weather.
Thank you,
TC Harp
after its setup go to the weather tab and click on your city , after that when it displays all the citys go to menu, weather options and switch it to fahrenheit

On the weather tab click on your city name. You will see the "Select City" page. Click "menu" on the bottom right. Click "Weather Options". Click Temperature scale: Fahrenheit. Click done at the bottom of the screen.

Everything is working great. Thanks everyone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to change the quick lunch buttons. This version of HTC Home is suppose to allow for that.
Edit: I have found HHC ver. .08 that performs many functions for me. This one is gonna take a minute to learn.
Thanks,

Is there a simple way of creating application shortcuts to appear on your today screen without having to click on the windows start menu to find it?
I have searched the forum & found many similar questions but they all seem so complicated.
All I need to do is create a shortcut for an application that normally fires up when the phone is switched on but I need the ability to have quick access to the shortcut incase the app is ever accidently closed down.
This app should always be on as well as the data connection to which i also need a shortcut for.
So the COMM MANAGER icon as a shortcut for quick access would be needed to enable a quicker start to Data connection if offline for some reason
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Yes. Go to Start/Settings/Today/Items tab where you can select what you want. At least I can do it on Touch 3G (Jade).

Yes thanks but that's not what I mean, I have already tried but found that you have limited choice to what you can add. I need to add other items that are not included in th items tab.
Try this...
It's a simple shortcut creator for the today screen - sounds like just what you're after.
I use this and have had no problems with it.

Thanks for that, it does look like exactly what i need but for some reason it does not work on my O2 XDA Mantle and the Samsung Omnia, both using Windows mobile 6.1
I get the same problem on both phones where after instalation the app does not appear in start menu or in programme files.
I have selected "Easy today Launcher" in the items tab of the today screen but nothing appears to allow you to use the software
I'm on WM6.1 on a Sony Xperia and its fine.
Did you add any icons to it?
It doesn't appear in programme files or programmes - just in Today settings.
Go to Settings->Today->Items.
Make sure the box is ticked next to 'Easy Today Launcher'.
Select 'Easy Today Launcher' so thats its highlighted gry, then click options. Use add to add a new application to the bar, remove to remove ones you don't want, and up and down to chane the order. You can also select whether you want large or small items in the options screen.

That's it thanks
It now works
I found another app called SBSH iLauncher but it's not free
it allows shorcuts to documents which is something else I need, it doesn't look line Easy today Launcher can do this as it only creates shortcuts to applications.
thanks for your time.
i just would like to know if it possible to disable the weather background for sense 2.5 a cab would be nice i thought i seen it somewhere but i cant find it
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!

Would be nice to get rid of the sun icon, which is in the way all the time.

Ignore that - it's nothing to do with what you're asking. That advice is only for modifying the wallapaper, not the weather on the clock.
There's no 100% foolproof way of getting rid of that weather display, other than a blag. Set the clock location set to "my location" and use the disable my location cab from the bottom of the second post in the hints and tips thread that is stickied at the top of the HD2 general forum. This will only work if the "my location" thing has never worked. If you've ever had weather updates for that location then this simply won't work.
If you ever change your clock location it may start showing weather there again though. If that happens, get used to it.

Well, seems like someone have manageed to get rid of the weather, but what u said sounded reasonable with what I've experienced.
But would be nice if anyone could get a cab-file that removed the weather from the "home" screen...

There was a long thread about this when the HD2 first came out, and people ended up hacking dll files that worked on some devices and forced other people to hard reset, so I'd avoid that like the plague! It's not something that I'm interested in, as I find that area of the screen looks bare without it, so I've not paid much attention to discussions in that area. I still don't think there's been a 100% solution though.

Hi!
How can I change the hexagonal icons layout in the Start and Settings menu ("Honeycomb") back to the square layout? The hexagonal makes me feel dizzy.
Thanks
It's nearly impossible to do that, since the code for the hexagon layout is hidden deeply.
There are a lot of .cabs for that kicking around. What kind of phone.

I spent about an hour searching via Google

It is enough to just point me to the right registry value, if there is any.

I think I understood your question then... you mean the start menu, don't you?
[ElCondor] said:

Yes, the Start Menu and Setting menu. Sorry for not being clear
OK, no problem. Well I'm surprised that Denko is saying that there are a lot of cabs for that, because as far as I know, it is not possible.
Will await his reply then.
OK, I'v found something. A small configurable application called XTask, download link here.
Btw, if you don't know where to start, just click on the taskbar and drag the line down. The XTask Settings allow you to configure its internal menu and also replace the Start Menu entirely with its own diagonal icon layout.
Alternatively in its settings set it so its file manager starts when clicking the Start Menu icon and browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory. It is normally alphabetically sorted and you can arrange shortcuts to various subfolders. It can be even more easily done with Total Commander or from PC.
And for phone settings click on Control. It arranges icons by same strange order, probably like the original Start Menu, but maybe I'll find how to change that.
Just wanted to know is there a way to change the layout out the of the start menu icons?
Mine is currently in a row of 3 . . .the right and left one's on the same level and centre just below. .
Can this be changed at all?? so maybe all icons are at the same level and in different rows??
Thanks ALL
it sure can..... hope that helps!! and the solution is even in a sticky!!!

He's not asking for 4 row hexagon, he wants the icons all aligned in a standard x,y axis grid. Basically, no, this cannot be done. You can alter the size of the icons/text, and the number of columns, but not the 'hexagon' effect, except;
There is one setup that lists all of your start menu icons in a single vertical list, similar to how your contacts are listed. I don't have a link to that .cab, but if you have a quick search on here and/or google I'm sure you'll find it.
That list view is called AwesomeStart. Because it's, y'know, awesome.
Edit: Here, turns out I still had it in the Cabs folder on my SD card.
