Hi guys.
Is there a newer HTC Home Plugin for SP Landscape phones? Mine is Samsung Blackjack2, and I have something called Gregory HTC home plugin. The problem is, it shows only three tabs, like Weather, clock and Favourite people. But I see here there are many other versions with many more tabs, like applauncher etc. So is there a newer version that I can use?
Also, is there a way to edit the weather location details? My inbuilt city list is widely far away, is there is a simple way to add/delete cities?
Thanks for reading
Regards
Steve

Is there any way, possibly a registry tweak to have the weather tab in the htc home plugin display the information in weatherpanel? I don't use the plugin weather tab because my local address is not in the database and weatherpanel displays more detailed information.
I suppose what I am trying to say is, is it possible to have the home plugin look the same as normal but have it take its weather information from weatherpanel?
I take noone knows if this is possible or wants to try?
EDIT:: Come on guys... I know there has to be someone out there that can figure this out... I have seen some crazy things here and this should be easy for some of the more advanced members...
Odd thing, but I've got both of these apps on my TP. I do love the funkyness of TF3D but it's just not functional enough for me so I've installed the above.
On the Now screen there is a weather indicator on the top left corner. which today shows as cloudy. On the weather application on the main screen (5 day forecast) I get a different forecast. Surely they should be the same??
can anyone else with these two apps confirm if they see the same thing.
thanks
I have both running and have integrated SPB Weather into the the SPB Tab. Maybe you need to have a look at SPB Mobile Shell settings --> Tabs tab and make sure Spb Weather is there.
It could be that it is using some other old data from another Weather application ?
I actually use both together too, I think mobile shell has its own weather utility for which you can set the location and it is from this utility that the information displayed comes from. I have never tried to get the now screen to access the info from spb weather.
Personally speaking I also prefer turning tf3d off and use a combination of today plugins, i.e. spb pocket plus, mobile shell, diary, weather, devstate etc. This combination suits my needs better but each to their own I suppose.
hmm..odd....hopefully I explained correctly as I can't find any other settings
I have weather integrated on the SPB Tabs, (not realy much point in doing this though as the weather is displayed on the today screen and I don't need a tab to access it).
So, on the Now screen when you turn the phone on, across the top I have a small weather forecast, and then the notifications for email text and phone calls.
below this is the time date and then below this appointments etc.
if I close the now screen and I'm on the today screen, I have the date, then 4 tabs, then appointments, then my 5 day weather forecast.
I just can't work out why the two forecasts are different. I only have one city set up so I can't see it getting this data from anywhere else
What about in the Customize Now Screen, is SPB Weather ticked there?
As billu said, Spb Mobile Shell might have it's own weather and therefore this would explain the difference in reports, seeing as one is updated and the other is not.
Sorry just checked, I gave duff info in the last post, the now screen does take the info from spb weather. If you touch the weather symbol from the top left hand corner of the now screen the weather application comes up as you say. Then click the icon shaped like a gear near the bottom right (i.e. settings) and voala, spb weather configuration menu comes up. If you have multiple cities configured the topmost selected will be displayed. You can move cities up and down through the list. On my device the now screen weather info is consitent with spb weather's.
My reference to to mobile shell's own utility only applies to a tab available in mobile shell's today plugin.
I have my HD2 for a couple of days now.
I've installed tools like BSB tweaks, S2U2, CSMI, jamsoft BG4ALL.
Now in my appointment screen (appt. for a day) I don't see the appointmens because the weatherforecast is ontop of them. If I scoll to another day, I see teh appointments, but the weatherforecast slides over them.
Is there a way to remove the weather forecast from the Apointments?
I've search everywhere but can't find a setting...
Please help!!!
im not sure how your home screens works at this moment, because i run differtent apps
but i also did not want to have the weather on my home screen
what i did was the following
hard reset my hd2 (make sure you haven an contact backup etc)
after the reset i did NOT config my weather and in remeoved the weather icon from my htc bar
now there is no weather on my today, but i did want a nice looking weather info on my hd 2
i installed (and bought foor 4 €) touch weather wich in my opion is even better than the htc version

Thanx!!
I will try it...
I played with an Acer at a local store and noticed that the various Home Screens have names, like "Entertainment", "Communication" etc (or something like this).
I'm wondering if it's possible to give each of the stock home screens a name so that I can organize apps into different categories. When scrolling from screen to screen the name would be displayed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LongTrail.
the easiest way to do this would be to just use a custom widget maker (available on the market i believe) and just create a widget with the name of the category you want and put it on each homescreen. that would be the fastest way to accomplish this.
That would certainly work, many thanks for the suggestion.
There's an app Called desktop label I use, it might be what you need
i used an apps called Make Your Own Clock HD
it's free, and it got amazing feature to create custom text widget to do what u describe
minimal text
I did this on my Transformer. I used Minimal Text Widget to label each screen and then used multiple live wallpaper to give each screen a different set of wallpapers.
I have a home screen with weather/email info etc. and a link to browser.
A Tech screen with market and system stuff.
A Media screen with video/reading stuff.
and a Games screen with games.
I used desktop visualizer to make the icons on each screen look nice and folder organizer to make groups for games and emulators and such.
I can upload screens later but here is a link to something similar to what I am running except on the nook color.

Thanks Folks for all the help. I will take a look and see which idea gets me to where I want to be
Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).
