Weather Programmes - General Questions and Answers

ok i've searched all i can, i cant seem to find a good weather programme thats FREE and works in the UK. some say pocket weather but unless im going to wrong site it tells me i have to pay, other just dont work for the UK.
can some1 please help me here.
i have the Samsung Omnia if that helps.

look for Flash Weather 3D in the Dev&Hack section.. you can use the search option for it.

thanks will give it a try.. 16mb.. seems big but looks good.

it'll sit on your storage card.
btw, you can also use WeatherPanel 2.5 (which comes freely) with Rumball's Diamond theme

hmm doesnt want to work..when i try to install it says - Flash lite 2.1 for windows mobile 5 will support flash 7 content authored for mobile devices only. only option i have is to close so does not install. do i have to find flash 7? im confused.

so many flash thread and info but cant seem to find a download for flash 7. am i misisng something?

ok i got the flash 7 to run the weather programme but sadly the weather programme doesnt work. i can read undefined and few letters at sides but no options. guess not suited for samsung omnia.

ok im bk to struggling to find a free UK service to say wot the weather is in my area...does any1 know the ans?

did you try WeatherPanel 2.5? there's no reason why it shouldn't work for you

XDA newbie

Hi all, these PDA gadgets is all new to me so I thought I would start with something quite cheap (in case I am too thick and cannot follow)..
So I got this XDA but i can't really find any use with it.. Most webpages i come across saying that its in-compatible and also the pre-loaded MSN messenger saying that it won;t work with that version( then why on earth is that pre-installed?) also the webmessenger again is not working... nor the ICQ... So.. what exactly can i do with it??
bit fustrating really..
Sorry if my questions have been covered but doing a search and seems that everything is too techy like different ROM and things that I do not seemto understand too well..
Thanks in advance..
ms have a update of messenger which is required
to be installed because the version of messenger in the rom
is OLD
re webbrowser.
Use a new browser, ou multie or tweak2k to change broswer's 'id' so it's seen as internet explorer for compatibility.
V
hmmmm.. ok ... cheers for the info.. now the next question is.. How and what do i need to update??
which Rom can help me to browse?? Also i guess there is no way out about the messenger then.,...??
thank you
as i said ms have an update you have to run to get messenger working
if you get a newer rom it may not be necessary though
can you tell me if that update is downloadable and where??
or what is the version called?
thank you so much
it's always the last place you look

DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!
I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again
Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.
Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

Free apps for LGKS20??

Fav Apps
Hi All,
Just got a phone from korea Which is very cool!
I was wondering if there any cool or new app that can run on my phone.
My phone is a LG KS20........touch screen.
Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,
i heard there is a free app called google search. It is fun, painless, and most of all free!!!!
I found some free apps for your phone see HERE
Now you can search and find some too
You've got yourself a Windows Mobile phone - congratulations.
There's a plethora of free apps for WM out there, and Google will indeed point them out for you. You need to read around (a lot) and try them out (a lot). Always remember to note the forum rules.
Most of the apps from this site should work on your KS20 - should, because a) this is an XDA site after all and some apps & mods will be XDA-specific, and b) the KS20 doesn't support all WM apps as well as it should. Look out for dedicated LG or KS20 forums - I know there are a few.
Btw, I gave my KS20 back six months ago because of a battery bug, because audio output in satnav apps doesn't work and because support for a few important other WM apps is poor. These bugs have turned up all around the planet - it's all there in the forums, but I didn't know that before I bought mine. It's a nice sleek device with a good touch screen, but it just didn't work for me. If they haven't managed to put that right yet, and if you can still give it back to the vendor, you might consider getting - well, an XDA.
N.
This belongs in the Questions and Answers thread. Almost everything should work on your phone if its running WM6. Might wanna check the resolution on the programs before you download them and any other prerequisites
Lgks20
Lol oppsss......i sorry
i am new to this site
Yeah.....OMG this site is the man
lol
i have an iphone theme on my phone already and i am trying to find more app to put on my phone
i want GAlarm on my phone, but i trying to find one,but i can't (help)
And a website would be helpful guys Thx
i just new to this website and having trouble finding what i need
I have the same phone... its windows mobile, that means there are thousands of apps
But you should check out fingermenu that's great...
i can give you a few tips though... dont expect to run too many graphics heavy apps like PointUI Home 2 or winterface it just cant handle them, LG forgot the drivers
it can handle SPB shell and PointUI Home 2 though so some works...
also keep you proof of purchase near might just be me unlucky but ive had mine on service two times in less than six months, on time i got a battery bug the status wouldnt update always 100% and the battery time was very short too... and now the screen got yellow spots on it so service again
just look trough these forums every now and then and you will find plenty of great apps

MSN Weather Widget

Does anyone have a copy of the latest version of the MSN Weather widget in .widget, .wgt, or .cab format?
Before you jump down my throat and tell me to use the Search function... I have searched for hours and have come up empty handed. I have found many of the earlier versions, but none after version 1.1. The newest versions work with touch scrolling and have different features than the early versions.
I'm using a ROM that doesn't have it natively so I wanted to install it indepentantly. I like it better than any commercial or free weather app out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Moved as not software release.

That's actually the one I have been using. It doesn't support finger scrolling.
I have been looking for this too. It is on the Marketplace website but you have to download it via the Marketplace app. I tried this but it does not show up via the app!
I suspect this is a regional limitation or something. Perhaps somebody else will have more success and post a cab for us?
Thanks.
Do you have a numerical version of the widget that you are looking for? (not just "higher than 1.1")

I was able to find it on the WM Marketplace. The latest version is 1.7. I couldn't find it using the Markeplace application on my phone, but I got it by going HERE. I had to "purchase" it there (it's free btw) then log into my phone's Marketplace app to actually download it.
Even though it's directly from the Marketplace, it does not have the finger scrolling feature that I'm looking for. I was using JJBlaster's ROMs on my old Kaiser and the MSN Weather widget he included was able to scroll up and down using your finger.
Could someone else download it and put the version 1.7 widget in a CAB package? It's way easier to include a CAB in a new ROM flash's UC than to jump through all the hoops Marketplace makes you go through to get it. And also, could somebody somehow enable finger scrolling? I'm not sure how to do any of that.
Alright so I figured out that the reason my finger scrolling wasn't working had something to do with the Add Widgets or Enable Widgets cabs I had installed. I reflashed my ROM and did not install either cab, then installed the weather widget through the Marketplace and now finger scrolling now works with the latest widget. Next all I'd ask is for someone to put the MSN Weather widget from the marketplace into a cab so I can use it without the marketplace.
Bump.
Anyone know how to make a CAB out of the Windows Marketplace MSN Weather widget? How about from the attached widget file?
This seems newer
I'm not sure, but this seems a newer CAB and it worked great for me on 1.43 - am about to reinstall on 1.66 (VF UK)
OK.... idiot mode off
Having resisted posting here for years because I hate the 'stupid' posts and feared the vitriolic reaction once I made one, I have just managed to make myslef the target for a typically acerbic post pointing out that I have been a dumbass and missed out the "%" in the %20 part of a filename.
It appears I have uploaded the same version you already have access to.
Apologies.
(please don't hurl too much abuse this way people!)
Thank you

You should use the "search" button before you start a thread asking these questions...
There are plenty of themes available... and non of the stand-alone themes require to flash a cooked ROM... (jailbreaking is for little girls with their "iPoop" )
As for CHT, CHTE and CHTS; they're all available for free (if you found some places where they ask money for it, then they're fake.... but plz mention which sites you saw the "paid" version of those apps, as it will be good to know for Co0kie and the others.)
If you want CHT, CHTE and CHTS, just use search again....
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting, but you could save yourself a lot of time by using the built-in search or use Google local search
im just sick of the windows hd2 stock theme. I see allot of themes on this site that I would love to have. would one reason that they dont work for me be that I download the theme from my phone and not from a computer?

I don't see this as a reason, I download over pc and over my phone never I had w problem with that.
normally you download, press on the file fore installation, if it ask you the roots if installation path choose internal memory, and following by a restart.
