Today Weather Plugin? Does a decent one exist?! - General Topics

I'm looking for a today weather plugin that updates via 3G or similar, and keeps it up to date. I love the way Titanium weather looks, but I cant seem to get that to work with my today page since I dont use titanium I hate that weird scroll stuff. I would like one that has a simple one box with today's forecast and current temp. I've tried about 9 of them now, and hated every last one.
Anyone know one that's similar to this with live update through cell internet? One that I can install on my regular today page?:

}
Or please tell me how to install titanium weather onto my today page? Since i believe tweather is live update?(bottom row is what im looking for)
Edit: I will leave this open, but I do believe what im looking for is "Chome Weather" by the great, NRG
Any other suggestions would be great

Actully Chome Weather isnt working either, not showing up in items or on my today screen.

I use the Weatherbug plug in. It updates when you want, set it up in tools. And its free.

Look for the 'Weather To Go' plugin. I've used it, and it's very nice. It gives actual forecasts, and the data comes from NOAA. There's an oem for it at ppckitchen.org-you could probably load it just with the oem, but I'm sure you could find a cab somewhere.
Oh, and unlike manila, it has a very good database. The three cities I use are in it-no weather city database editor needed.
Edit: Here's a link to a cab.

I second Weatherbug plug...it's accurate, configuable, memory lite, and can display temp on top task bar!

Version Number/Name or .cab? I have about 3 weatherbug plugins now, trying weatherbug direct as we speak.
Edit, WeatherBug direct wont show on my today screen, what gives?
Installed it to device not card, ran Setting.exe.... still nothing =/ even soft reset.

Version 2.2.0 go to Options>Settings>General Settings >Display Options>Show All>Done

Unfortunately that did nothing, i dont even see a .exe for the program, just the setup.exe

You need to tap or select the bug plugin on the Today screen to see the dropdown with options & settings!

Right, but there was absolutely no additions on my screen. I tried it all again, install weatherbug, reset, settings.exe yaddy yadda, reset, today menu (nothing) start menu (nothing) today screen (nothing) only place i can even tell it's installed is add/remove programs. Maybe it's conflicting with my energy 6 12?

Wierd that in your Settings >Today >Items, you can't click on or find "weather bug direct' item?

Nope, doesnt exist.

Hi, New here, but taken so much good stuff from here today.
I have my Today screen almost where I want if the HTC Home and LG plug in, but I can't get rid of a few items to Place the LG bar at the bottom of the screen.
As you'll see on the shot I've circled a some icons, now I can lose the o2 icon by removing the Startup reference and i no how to lose the Calendar\Contact bar but I cannot get rid of the Battery and Comm icons.
Any ideas.
Cheers

For the Comm Manager and Battery indicator there is a reg edit... for that you can search the Tips and Trick thread on the Upgraging subforum...
Also you might find some clues about the others aswell....
Thanks for that, but any chance of a little more info.
After going through 72 pages in that Tweaks and Tricks thread I found only the bits I knew already about the install.
I may have been going a little post blind though after page 40 or so.
Sorry, can't help
I know which reg entries (for the battery and comm manager) you have to modify on the Hermes... but I doubt it'll work on the polaris... maybe some one can provide more info in the tips and tricks thread if you ask...
Sorted it, after a tip from another thread, it's the system tray, from that i found the Reg Key.
If anyone else needs it, it is.....
Code:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ Software/ HTC/ Trayapplet
Then I removed the O2 icon from Startup and sorted.
Decided I don't like the LG tray though in the end lol, but it's nice to have all my desktop to play with.
i too have problems with the system tray bar
when i connect to my PC via usb, or when i launch tomotm, the tray apperas, an messes up my todayscreen configuration, wich i completly do by ultimatelaunch, so the system tray uses some of the space i use fpr ultimate launch
i tried to follow the how tos, to disable it, namely remove the trayap folder in hklm_software_htc but i dont have such a folder there, and i searched fpr a init_tray:ink in my autostart folder, but didnt find anything like that there
anyone knows how to disable this bar?
i use bepes, wm6.1 rom in .67
greetings and thanks in advance, qoka

Searched, Read Wiki, Experimented, still need help changing themes

Hi all,
Been on the forum for a couple of months. It's been a great learning experience. I Have a Touch Pro and have Downloaded and installed ROMeOS2 v1.50.4 B1208 and flashed the radio to 1.02.25.28 Raphael (better than .32 version for me which I flashed to first).
I have also installed Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 and attempted to install new themes.
Here's my problem - no matter which theme I install - I can't change the red "flame" background on the home screen. I've spent several hours looking around, searching to no avail. It's time to ask.
What am I not doing?! Or doing wrong?
Thanks much,
David
tf3d settings tab (like a gear cog), tap wallpaper, use default.
edit: assuming you've already changed theme and the home tab is the only thing you are having an issue with.
from what i'm reading, might be just my interpretation, but it sounds like you're simply just havign a problem with the wallpaper, not the theme? isn't the simple fix as venelar described, and using whichever wallpaper you want (assuming you have a wallpaper you'd like to use and know the file location)
Yes, It is wallpaper I cannot seem to change. Where is
tf3d settings? I can't find the settings icon in programs, accessories, settings, etc - I've looked everywhere!
its a tf3 tab. generally all the way to the right. has the communications stuff on it that you press to go into comm manager to turn on off wifi/bluetooth etc..

You looked everywhere, but must have missed the Settings tab in TF3D.
When you are on your TF3D homepage, go to the settings tab (by sliding your thumb to the right untill you get to the tab named 'Settings').
On that tab there is a rule stating: Wallpaper. It is the third option on the settings tab. I bet its even explained in the manual .

Where's the Notification Area/System Tray in WM 6.5?

New here, first post. Looks to be a very informative site! Excited to get my hands on WM 6.5.1 and Manilla/Sense 2.5 ROMs.
Anyway....where is the System Tray in WM 6.5? You know, the icons that show at the bottom of the screen on WM 6.x (before 6.5) when you have certain applications open? Such as AIM, PDAnet, etc.. I don't see it on my Imagio (Manilla), or in the 6.5 emulator. Manilla does provide the helpful running-apps menu, however.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
It's on the today screen (disable chome or manila).
Hmm, I'm not seeing it on the today screen. Is it possible that it's not enabled? Maybe I'm missing something, do you have a screenshot?

Well, there are only a few apps that show the icon. Dotfred's task manager does if you uncheck "no icon in tray." Also, mymobiler does it if select the option to show it. The only other app I have that I can do it with is SK Today Commander, but it also has a plugin, so the icons are redundant and kind of fugly to boot (the #'s are the plugin).

Ah, but you're not using WM 6.5, you're using 6.5.1 or some modified version. I'm talking with straight 6.5, there is no tray area. Also with Manilla there is no tray area, apparently.
I'm using 28002 (6.5.3), but trust me, it's there in 6.5.0 builds, too. You have to disable CHome in the home/today settings (windows default in the check list) and just use the regular Today screen to see it. The other plugins like CHome and Manila cover it up. It's still there, you just can't see it because the UI is a Today overlay. For whatever reason, I prefer the Today screen over all the other UI's available. I don't like finger scrolling so much to find things.
Ah! I didn't realize the new default home screen was called CHome. Disabled that and now I see the normal Today screen, complete with the Tray icons. Thanks!

Go Weather Widget Skins

Anyone else that using the Go Weather widget having problems where the themes for the widget aren't allowing you to browse for more? Seems to only be allowing me to select two - the default and a simple one.
I really want the lucid pro one, but even if I download it from the market it isn't showing up in the widget's theme section. I hate that default one with the flowers and green lawn.
I am having the exact same issue. What ROM are you on?

My wifes phone is a Samsung Fascinate, with a Touchwiz debloated Rom, mine was running MIUI, now running Jermaine's Stock Plus from yesterday. Having the issue on all of them, including my wifes.
I'm having exactly the same issue. The missing themes are available in the Market, but if you download them for there they are not associated with the application and will not load...
Strangely, mine started working. I wish I knew what I did, but I didn't actually do anything that I'm aware of. Sorry I'm no more help.
I did notice a banner news update in the GoWeather app which talked about fixing the bug with the widget packs not being selectable, but I know I didn't install an update.
I believe they said it was a server issue
I still have the issue on my Atrix. Had on a stock ROM, now having still with CM7.
Doesn't seem to be server issue or at least doesn't seem to be fixed yet.
Ääähhh...did nobody of you guys realize that the widget doesnt actualize the weather and shows completely wrong weather data? I tried our big german cities like münchen, düsseldorf, dortmund, berlin...with the same result. when will goweather devs wake up and fix that?

I gave up and switched to the Android Weather widget. Always accurate and goes nice with the stock Go launcher. I like that it has wind speed. I already have a calender widget so use the date tap to open the Weather Channel for a more detailed forecast. It also shows your exact address on the 2nd screen, which can be useful.

Do not Have this Problem

Xperia XZ2 Compact: in US, but Accuweather and Open Weather Map occasionally show location as Lyublino (Moscow, Russia) - hacked?

This has been happening for around 2-3 years now. I'd get a weather alert notification for Lyublino, a district in Moscow, Russia. This is from the stock weather app (it's just called Weather). The current version is 1.3.A.4.27) and it uses AccuWeather as its provider, with no option to change providers.

}
It also shows when I go to accuweather.com using Chrome browser. When I go to the site's menu > Settings, the country is set Russia, and I can't change it to the US. However, both Chrome's incognito mode and Firefox both show the correct location.
Lyublino used to occasionally show on my KWGT widget, which uses Open Weather Map as it's provider. Even when I went to KWGT's Settings > Weather > Force Update, the location was still Lyublino. Then in Aug 2020, it just stopped doing this, and has since been showing my correct location. But the fact that it wasn't isolated to just Accuweather leaves me suspicious.
Other things I checked/tried:
Phone on Android 9-10, unrooted
Google Maps: always shows my correct location
Banks/credit cards: I have alerts set up if any settings are changed, and if any amount of money is spent. Haven't seen anything weird so far.
Restarting phone: no change (it goes away on it's own after a few hours-one day)
Factory reset: Once in Mar 2020. Didn't work.
Still occurred with both the stock weather app using Accuweather, and the KWGT widget using Open Weather Map (until the latter stopped on its own a few months later).
The only caveat is that I tried to restore all my settings to the way they were. This included re-downloading almost all of the apps I had before, and signing into the same Google Accounts. I also had a bunch of stuff saved on the microSD card, which I took out when wiping, and reinserted afterwards.
I just deleted StuffMerge Pro, a paid app that hasn't been updated since 2015, and no longer works with Android 10. The stock weather app now shows the correct location. Chrome browser accuweather.com still shows Lyublino. Dev information in the Google Play Store shows Bratislava, Slovakia.
Pretty sure all other apps installed are verified from the Play Store. I have 430 apps installed apparently. No social media apps. Reputable and none with lower than a 4-star review.
Doing another factory reset is definitely not ideal, so I'm just really hoping there's another explanation other than hacking? Any other ideas on what I can check? The thought of having to go through everything in my microSD card and all my apps is pretty stressful haha.
