For some reason, I can't get the 'Weather' tab to correctly display my cities weather in the HTC Home Plugin.
It used to work no problem, when I had old Sprint ROM.
Now, I have DCD's ROM, but the package with the old radio. It's the self executable .exe at the bottom of the first post.
[http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10017]
I can get the home plugin to work fine, and it's completely customizable with emunutz customizer.
But for some reason, the weather always goes to the wrong city. I've tried the default, and I've tried the custom cities. I've tried surrounding areas as well.
I thought maybe it was the plugin, so I downloaded a couple other HTC Home Plugins that people made, and the weather worked JUST FINE on those, but I couldn't arrange the tabs at all.
It always seems to be something.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried both the lite version and regular of Emunutz Customizer, and also 3 different .cabs of the HTC Home Plugin.
Iddk. But it's bugging me. The weather tab is my FAVORITE, and I've never had troubles till now.
Thanks.
Bryun.
you should try to locate theis file : HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml under \windows.
It contains the code of the cities for the weather panel, make sure yours is correct
Anyone knows what's the executable file for weather on the HTC Touch?

Hey guys... can one of you try to install this cab just posted in the Excalibur forum in the NRG Weather 3.0 thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2297821&posted=1#post2297821
I installed it - pictures will come in few minutes
edit:
but..why the red crossbows?
btw - i've got the 96dpi rom by zeeshee
I installed your app... on the 96 dpi rom. It looks good and it works quite well. I don't really know what i did but I managed to make it look tha same on the portrait and landscape layouts. at first it would take off the background in landscape.
The X symbol is because you don't have the location ID for the city you are in.

tell more - location ID who? in the phone or what?
go to yahoo weather and search for location id. You'll find your city there.
i've got the right location number : GMXX4381
but by weather forecast there're the red X-Symbols again!
Hm I had this problem once, because there was no 10-day forecast! Yes, just what I thought. I tried your location ID and there is no 10 day forecast, that's why it's nt working.
thanks a lot
Is it necessary to have internet access for you to be able to use a weather program? I dont have that kind of access yet with my provider.
guys - are you able to uninstall this item???
Nope... it's good that I like it. Otherwise I'd have to reflash the OS.
Background???
no worries peeps problem fixed!
I am using this for last couple of days and I find the following problems.
(1) It does not get uninstalled. Reflashing OS only removes it cleanly.
(2) Sometimes the font is oversized in the current weather panel which cannot be fixed.
(3) The phone also hangs or becomes non responsive occassionally.
Any solution to these

Is there any way to use it with other non-slide panel homescreen like plugin?

No, it only works with WM6.1 Chome: I asked the same in the thread in the Excalibur section, and that was the answer.
I suggest you to try Mini Weather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392267); it works also with WM6, not as a plugin but redesigning the background (so using no system resources).
Choosing the right icons it can produce nice results: you can see here the theme I use on my Wings.
what about uninstall procedure? is there any fix for that?
Can someone post the beta VOX installer for NRG Weather 3.0? The link in the original post in the excalibur format is broken now and no one over there seems to have the file!
I have the 2mb cab - but it wont install
actually that maybe version 1.0 not version 3
Hey ppl,
I just upgraded my Touch Cruise to WM6.1 with the official ROM from the HTC site. It installed without any problems. I've noticed that the music tab is missing from my HTC Home menu. I checked in the settings, and the music option was checked. I unchecked it, and then checked it, and still no luck. I disabled HTC Home, and then reenabled it, but to no avail.
I checked some websites that show how to adjust the tabs using a registry editor. I did this (added a new string called TabSetting and made the value 1,2,3,4,5) and HTC Home responds to it by showing all tabs except the music tab (which is tab 5). I don't know what's wrong. If I adjust the registry value (e.g. make it 1,2,3) then it shows those 3 tabs only, which means it works for all the tabs except the music tab.
When I select Today in the Settings page, I have the Appearance tab and the Items tab. On my previous ROM, I Installed the HTC Home 6 Tab plugin, and that gave me the extra tab in the Today Settings page to choose which tabs I wanna show in HTC Home. So I installed the 6-tab plugin, and tried to adjust it there. It makes changes to the registry value TabSetting, but still HTC Home does not show my music tab!
I've flashed the ROM again, I've hardreset .... but it won't work. Can anyone figure this out please?
Also, is it just me or has the SMS become slower? I like the threaded SMS idea, but for some reason when I'm typing, I have to type a lot slower than my previous ROM.
On the upside, WM6.1 seems to be quicker in doing some other things. Let's hope my HTC Home problem is not permanent ...
Edit: yes, I've been to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396016&highlight=music+tab+htc+home and it didn't solve my problem no matter how many times I've tried. I've even followed the YouTube video about this.
Just fixed it. I found a link for the HTC Home plugin for the original ROM of the Touch Cruise, and it now shows my music tab.

I was just wondering how many people do not run the TF3D program on their TP or Fuze? And to those who do not run it what do your home screens look like? WHat programs do you customize your phone with? Just wondering cause I was going to get off the TF3D wagon for a while just for a change.
I use SPB shell and suite.
After a week with the Tilt, the excitement of TF3D wore off, so I finally removed it from the phone. I'm now running a VGA version of HTC Home, which I really like. Of course, nothing is perfect, and current problems are:
1. No customization program for VGA version of HTC Home
2. Contacts tab doesn't work (don't care about this, as I don't use that tab anyway)
3. Weather tab works, but available cities are limited
4. Program launcher tab only has room for 9 programs
Below the HTC Home section of my main screen, I also have my calendar, a Live Search plugin (for web searches right from the desktop), and a device locking button.
The only thing I miss from TF3D is the Intenet tab; I liked having the tab list my favorite pages.

I have a few questions about Manila 2d that I have downloaded on my Samsung Omnia (VZ i910).
-How can you add contacts to your people menu?
-How can you add programs to the program menu?
*I have clicked on both, held each spot, but nothing happens.
-How can I set up my location for the weather tab?
*I have tried to click add location, but nothing works
-I have tried to download a new theme, however each and every time I do so (following directions) the interface only takes up 2/3 of the screen leaving a small area at the bottom under the different tabs of extra space. I had a feeling that perhaps the files I was downloading weren't QVGA, but I downloaded another and it still didn't work.
Also, is there a reliable Manila 2d that supports landscape? I heard some member here was working on it.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
hmmmmm
i too have the omina i910...iim about to install Manila on my phone...but too sure anymore...lol
how is it......

The landscape part, I would check the main M2D thread. I believe that Helmi was close to getting it done. Which version of M2D are you using? I ask because the version might actually be the reason why you can't get it to work properly. I have seen that problem a few times in the early versions of M2D, where people had all sorts of issues adding things to the launchers. Let us know so that we can help you out.
I just spent the last 3 hours getting all the nessary information to install Manila 2D on my Omnia. I got it working. now the only thing is the the flow menu that you use to navigate between all the features (Home, Contacts, Messages, Internet etc...) is 3/4 way down the screen its not at the bottom where it should be. so when i go to Contacts the flow menu is 3/4 way down but all my contacts go down to the bottom. is there anyway to fix this
Thanks
Hi,
I have just the otherday managed to upgrade my HTC Touch to an actual official WM6.1 OS supplied by HTC (belive it or not!). Since I bought the phone in Bangkok I have had to wait for the relese of the HTC Thailand upgrade.
It included the ThouchFLO 2d (which I recon sux....can't change a thing about it), but I really liked the big clock in wm6.0. Is there a way to download a file somewhere to get the clock (a clock) to show up at the "settings/today/items"?
I have had a look at the Throttle launcher, M2D but can't really get any of them to work properly....anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
/F
my device:
HTC Touch P3452 ELF0100, WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19972 (build 19972.1.2.7)
ROM 3.07.707.02 WWE, 10/25/08
Radio 03.34.90
Not sure what you mean about big clock but do a search for HTC Home plug-in (I think the latest cab is version 2.1) and see if that is what you are after. Otherwise, have you tried the Manila 2D customizer tool (M2DC)? I don't know if it works on shipped roms TF2D but it might let you change certain aspects of TF2D.
Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry for being a bit unclear....what I ment was ofcourse the digital clock display at the HTC Default Home screen. I have tried the HTC Home plug-in but it, as for so many others (feedback) freezes and forces me to hard reset.
The problem occurs when I turn off the Touchflo 2D in favour of other themes, I get no option to display a clock on the today screen (under items to display). Hence downloaded themes comes out as plain as can be without anything but a background, start and bottom bar.
I would like to have a digital clock display as for the previous HTC Default Home screen....or similar clock at least.
I read somewhere that you could display/hide the clock by changing registry values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock, Disabled to 0, as per this website. I have chacked in that location but found no such registry value named cclock.
Staring to think I might be actually a bit stupid for missing something very simple.....you never know until someone tells you!
I hope I made myself a bit more clear...
/F
Well it sounds like you know what you are doing so I don't want to sound too "teachy". But what you are doing in the Item screen is turning off a Today plug-in (TF2D). AFAIK, everything that would appear on the Today screen is displayed as a plug-in. Your rom opted to show the TF2D plug-in. This plug-in overrides all others in the item screen so in order to use another plug-in, you must uncheck the TF2D plug-in. So with no plug-ins selected, you will have a blank Today screen.
There are several plug-ins you can install as alternatives to TF2D such as HTC Home, RLToday, etc. Just query Today plug-ins. Once installed you can initialise them from the Items screen. It is a little worrying that HTC Home crashes on your device. You might try a soft reset (small hole, poke with stylus) or uninstall it and reinstall it. It might be that you've run out of Program memory (Settings-->System--Memory). A soft reset will free it up again. I hope some of this is helpful.
