I would like to know how to change the Weather Application on the HTC Home Today Screen from the Current Default Weather application (HTC Home Weather Plug-in) to another weather application. There are others who also would like to do this. Thank you in Advance.
Yes...have any of the master chefs found an answer for this one yet?
I downloaded HTC Home Customizer and could find no way of changing this to another weather application. I could add cities to a customized Database and that was it. So, I am still looking for a solution to this. I have posted this request on other forums, too. No results.
Could someone give us a hint, clue or whatever to resolve this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I cannot believe that there is not anyone that can resolve this request. I know it is a small request, but there are a lot of us on here that would like to change the default.
Apparently it is either impossible or others have bigger fish to fry
With what the collective minds on this board have been able to accomplish to date, I would have to lean toward the "...have bigger fish to fry..." choice.

Thanks for your opinion. However, that did not provide any 'value added.' I will have to remember that the next time I take the time to post and try to help others, too. 'I have bigger fish to fry.'

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...
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!!!!
just go to animated wallpaper and choose your own picture. it won't be animated.
i tried but when i click wallpaper change there are only 2 options weather and animated wallpaper. i have my own picture but the weather animation kinda just clouds the beautiful screen. using stock tmo rom if it matters
oh nevermind it just needed a soft reset thx
How do i remove my location?
Would be nice to get rid of the sun icon, which is in the way all the time.
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
Where is HKCU/software?
Didnt under stand :S
easy
Choose menu->wallpaper-> ANIMATED WALLPAPER-> and choose one. easy not?
HKCU means HKeyCurrentUser, it's the registry

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.

Thanks for sharing, now i know at least...
Hi all.
I'm new to Android (moving over from WinMo) and I have a couple of questions;
Does anyone know if there are any reliable apps that can change wallpapers at regular intervals or according to location?
It would be great if the app could randomly select wallpapers too.
Secondly, I know that Android (on the HTC Desire/Bravo at least) allows for the creation of multiple panels, is it possible to have the phone switch to a particular panel at a particular time or location i.e. have the phone switch to a work panel at 0900 and then home again at 1800?
Thanks in advance
i love this idea i want to know if anyone gots any info on this as well

Hi.
I found WallSwitch (its in the Market place. This allows random and timed wallpaper switched. It's at version 2.0.2 at the moment.
Neat little heap; stable, doesn't fall over in a heap if the images are moved.
Hope this helps.
hello people
I have tried using driks rezo icons in hdwalls to create a new slider but to no avail and wondered if anyone could give some guidance. I would like to either use those or Matt Jacksons devotion slider but I am not sure how.
using cookies home tabs 1.70
manila version 2.5.20121429.0
rom version 1.72.161.3
radio 2.07.51.22_2
any ideas

There's a slider tutorial out there, but I can't get my head around it. If you're more tech-savvy than me (no great feat! LOL), check it out over here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88077
If you can figure it out, maybe you can help me!!
I was hoping for something less time involved, but that sounds a bit cheeky bearing in mind how much time some of you guys put into the mods!
Yeah, I can only imagine. All I'm good for are icons and wallpapers. As far as getting the HD Walls slider thing to work, well, I came up goose eggs on that, sadly. Shame, too, as it is a REALLY easy interface!! I wish someone could come up with a tool that would allow you to make those sorts of changes (including taskbars!) in a nice GUI as that
it's made more frustrating by the fact that it's like the last piece in the jigsaw. Only need to sort sliders out and it's nearly looking like the phone i'd like. although....
I'm currently working on a Fallout theme and have the wallpaper, slider icons, and some of the app icons done. I just need someone to help me mod the clock and make my slider icons work and I'm golden! LOL. I'm going to post and see if anyone wants to volunteer and we can put the components for the theme up on here as a group effort!
that would be nice have to get the fifties ring tone to go with it, always an oblivion man myself.
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!!!
and today i'm not feeling really "fatherly" like... so i won't help you get dressed for school....

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.
