Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

[Q]How to get 5 Columns startmenu on stockrom leo?

Can someone help to get columns startmenu insteed of 3 in stockrom please?
i have tryed 2 different files but no one is working
Thanks to help.

No one as a solution to have 5 columns start menu please?
i have found one thats work to make 4 columns but very strange,my battery icon as changed now,i have reinstalled the taskbar and impossible to get back my battery icon???

send me the startMenu_gridscene_480x800.cpr and startMenu_gridscene_800x480.cpr file for it and if i get some time ill try to get something that works
This was something that i was going to release when i got one!
That, all the way up to 7 i think and landscape one, does the start menu auto rotate, if it does then the landscape one's would make sense if not then ill see!
I already made a load for QVGA so i thought i would do it again, much easier with an actual device i will have one as soon as o2 actually get on realised!
EDIT: found in the windows folder if you dont know...

Cool if anyone has feels liek posting the original 3 ones then there will be a backup for people.

Cab
Is is exist any cab file for toggle 3-4-5 columns?

Not that i know of i couldnt get it working, when i have one which will be soon i will work on it. Found it was near impossible to do it without a device to actually tinker with!
It will come!

I've had a play with the files and I can't seem to get it working myself. Wonder what I'm missing.

Download the attached cab file I made from the files posted by DJC above. They will give you a 4 column start menu in portrait and 6 column start menu in landscape.

Legend, I'll try that now!
Update: Just installed and confirmed working!

Thank you!
For me works excellent !!!

Working fine for me too, thanks.

Works here too except... is landscape supposed to kick-in automatically on the start menu? On my Leo it doesn't. Any Ideas?
I've seen 5 and even 6 columns on other devices. Any cab for Leo yet?
Thanks 2 all!

Before I install this is there an easy way to revert back?
Cheers!

Works for me too in portrait on my Leo.

Works perfect, thank you!

It sounds very cool, but does photo's of contacts still working?
I read that's a problem at the other cab files!?
Can you show some picture of the result please?

It does not affect your picture contacts. You are thinking of the 4-wide quick links mods. They change the buttons beneath the clock.
This mod is for changing the start menu (hexagon grid). I have a similar one here, which includes screenshots.

[req]HTC Touch Diamond VR Hologram v2.02

does anyone know how to get this app working on the leo ???

yea i want to know it, too

You can Kinda get it working quite easily, just install the 2.02 version then copy the htcapi.dll file into the \program files\Diamond Hologram folder.
Only issue I have is the texture image disapears? I'll look into that.
The Zip has 2 versions of the DLL. If you want to try the other one, just rename it.

That works, but I can't see the targets. It just shows empty boxes and none of the other ones show up either...

I'm looking into it, see what can be done

good good I'd love to see this working !

bump bump !

only works fluidly when using chainfire's driver patch and even then it stucks every few seconds...

anyone got anywhere with this ????

BUMP
I'd love to see a quality port of this to the leo, looks like fun
Edit: I did get it working on my leo thanks to the_ape, but like him I didnt have the icons D:

Seems the version's of the DLL going about are not fully compatible with the Leo's drivers, I'm having a look, see what can be done.

Well for all those wondering this works perfectly fine, it just shows empty boxes instead of the icons.
It would sure be nice to get them, but if you want to try it you can give it a go.

same for me

it works fine on mine,well...slow as can be but i get everything onscreen.im using rom 1.66.405.2

It would be nice to be able to set it as a background! well, I´m not asking, it´s just my fantasy

Clearly been forgotten

nooooooooooo i still want this badly !!!

Me too, doesnt seem to look right without the icons. Giving it a custom background sped it up for me, even though you cant see it.

So is there no hope of getting this to work on the Leo?
Without Chainfire's drivers, the program works in the sense that you can see the icons... except, it's limited to like under 2FPS which makes it not usable.

Help PLEASE!!!!

Hey guys,
ive searched all over and found only two cabs for the stock album and they both dont work...i install it gets to the end and says the program has insuffient privleges to install.
Does anyone have any suggestions? or know where i get a working cab for the stock album please??
Im running stock 1.43 rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

if you have album running in the background this can prevent a cab from writing over a file being accessed. also install bsb tweaks and allow unsigned apps (not sure what this does but it sounds relevant and can't harm). see if these help. Otherwise i just use resco photo manager anyway

Thanks for suggestions optiknerv ive done the bsb tweak but still the same. I can access the album on the silder but it just comes up blank and doesnt show pictures. It does however show the number of files but no image comes up.
mmmmmmmmmmmm

i think you can't install the cab because the album process is running in the background. install a fully featured task manager, kill the album process and then install the cab you want.
anyway do the images show on sense but not in album? can you see anything accessing album direct from start menu? are you viewing the correct folder where your pictures are?

I can view the pictures if i use the start menu and then go to multimedia but they dont show on sense just blank screen with number of images that i have. Would a fully featured task manager be touch x longpress task manager??? sorry still trying to figure out the wonderful world of WM.

you mean view them in "pictured and video"? or the link in the start menu labelled "album"? Attached is a free task manager that can be used among other things to kill a running process.

not sure if deleting the contents of \Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\ would help forcing album to refresh the cache? this could make it worse though but its nothing a hard reset wouldn't fix if it all goes tits up

Sweet task manager thanks for that bud.
Um yeah the pictures show up in the link labelled album but they dont show up on the sense interface for photos and videos which sucks coz i like the way you could landscape scroll and what not with a flick of a finger.
I killed the process and install album cab but still no go...ill try another cab from earlier on and see how that goes.
once again thanks for the help mate

taking a look at my process tree i presume album searcher would also have to be killed. but since you can view images in album not sense i wouldn't have thought that album is your problem. try taking a new picture and see if that pops up in sense. would have thought this would also refresh the cache on the rest.

ahhh thanks for all the help champ
ill just perform a hard reset then install everything again haha.
cheers

Try deleting that folder contents listed above first. If not then HR or wait until someone with more knowledge than myself gets out of bed lol.

Ok does anyone else find this weird....i have try all the above mentioned methods and even hard reset to factory standard and now when i install one cab file even if its remove top bar or change to cookie tab home screen the same problem comes up. I cant view pics in the sense album using slider and i cant set an alarm i can get into the menu but it just comes up blank.
Any suggestions???

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget​
Description: New widget - Animation. The principle is simple folder put a bunch of equally-sized pictures (preferably not more than 20 and not horse-sized (enough for 100 * 100)) and in a certain place the widget you will see endless cartoon.
All images are stored in Program Files \ BL_Group_Animation, and have the template name BL_Group_AW_ (three-digit number with leading zeros pictures). Png. This means that if you have the first frame of his room in the name of the tether will be 001, but if the tenth is 010. Before replacing the images would recommend to disable the widget from the table, remove the old pictures, upload their pictures (their number may not coincide with mine), add the widget to the table with the will recount the images in the folder and will start your animation. In the CAB today is a dancing rabbit, the symbol 2011.
I want to note that the picture turns Manila and because a similar rate of gif files will not be able to achieve.
There is an opportunity to move, resize, and dock.
Compatible with other widgets.

Now we're talkin!!!!
Another nice one.
This should get some creative juices flowing!!!

Wow^^ trying right now
.....mmmh I got massive problems with it I installed your cab to my device memory. But when I put it on my homescreen and soft reset like it suggested my homescreen was kind of destroyed. the taskbar and the old softkeybar is displayed ( the one with Phone and contacts) but the homescreen is black. I cant get to settings to deinstall it and not a single other thing. I cant remove it from the homescreen, because it seems my device isnt using CHT2 at the moment
would be glad if you could help me fast.
I cant really provide system information, because I cant get them to be displayed. The only thing I can say, is that I am using elegancia rom
Edit:
well got my homescreen back due to reinstalling and just softreseting after the deinstallation:
OS : 5.2.21916 (21916.5.0.95)
Manila : 2.5.20181424.0
Rom: Elegancia V 5.0 Final WWE
Radio 2.07.50.27_2

Hmm, working just fine here.
Thanks again for your efforts to get this out.

No problems here also.
Thanx for this nice widget, it's fun

Moonah, you are a madman
Is there a way of altering the frame speed? If so this could be really easily adapted to be a slideshow widget - just place images for slideshow in the folder, name correctly, set frame speed to 5 seconds or so and voila, digital slideshow

I use png files, and there is no compression plays a role, but why not see this question because this widget is easiest as ABC

might be something with the mode 9 file or the lua, or the xml file sry I dont know. the functionality might be simple, but i am way to stupid to solve this problem. I had an issue with poyensas typoclock too. but version 3 worked perfectly

Can you check in your registry and see which widget slot it is installing to (HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down to CHTI.AddonWidget.Slot...) If it is slot 10 and you have not applied the 20 slot widget fix then this might be your problem.
