NRG Weather 3.0 beta

Hey guys... can one of you try to install this cab just posted in the Excalibur forum in the NRG Weather 3.0 thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2297821&posted=1#post2297821

I installed it - pictures will come in few minutes
edit:

but..why the red crossbows?
btw - i've got the 96dpi rom by zeeshee

I installed your app... on the 96 dpi rom. It looks good and it works quite well. I don't really know what i did but I managed to make it look tha same on the portrait and landscape layouts. at first it would take off the background in landscape.
The X symbol is because you don't have the location ID for the city you are in.

tell more - location ID who? in the phone or what?

go to yahoo weather and search for location id. You'll find your city there.

i've got the right location number : GMXX4381
but by weather forecast there're the red X-Symbols again!

Hm I had this problem once, because there was no 10-day forecast! Yes, just what I thought. I tried your location ID and there is no 10 day forecast, that's why it's nt working.

thanks a lot

Is it necessary to have internet access for you to be able to use a weather program? I dont have that kind of access yet with my provider.

guys - are you able to uninstall this item???

Nope... it's good that I like it. Otherwise I'd have to reflash the OS.

Background???
no worries peeps problem fixed!

I am using this for last couple of days and I find the following problems.
(1) It does not get uninstalled. Reflashing OS only removes it cleanly.
(2) Sometimes the font is oversized in the current weather panel which cannot be fixed.
(3) The phone also hangs or becomes non responsive occassionally.
Any solution to these

3) set update the homescreen to No. Otherwise the phone locks up.

Is there any way to use it with other non-slide panel homescreen like plugin?

No, it only works with WM6.1 Chome: I asked the same in the thread in the Excalibur section, and that was the answer.
I suggest you to try Mini Weather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392267); it works also with WM6, not as a plugin but redesigning the background (so using no system resources).
Choosing the right icons it can produce nice results: you can see here the theme I use on my Wings.

what about uninstall procedure? is there any fix for that?

Can someone post the beta VOX installer for NRG Weather 3.0? The link in the original post in the excalibur format is broken now and no one over there seems to have the file!

I have the 2mb cab - but it wont install
actually that maybe version 1.0 not version 3

Today screen for Samsung Saga i770

After more than four years with different WM smartphones, I finally moved to a PPC with the Samsung i770 aka Saga. The phone works great at 96 dpi with RealVGA, but I am having trouble finding a good today screen. I am surprised on two counts:
1. Incompatibility of themes between various screen resolutions, and
2. Small number of themes for the 320x320 screen of the i770.
I am looking for a today screen setup that looks like Manila 2D, but allows more things on the "home" tab (voicemail indicator, time of the next alarm, next 2-3 appointments instead of one, ability to control all-day appointments, etc.) I also absolutely need a calendar / appointments tab. Nice-to-have is the ability to show multiple timezones on the "home" tab and integration with the Samsung Alarms application rather than the Microsoft one that is part of the OS Settings. Is there anything out there that matches these needs? And what's the most popular / versatile today screen "shell" that people are using on 320x320 devices? It looks from the threads here that HTC Home was all the rage many months ago, then SPB Mobile Shell was the shell seeming most skinning action, and then UltimateLaunch, and then Manila 2D. What's the "in thing" now?
Thanks!
PS: I am tinkering with ThrottleLauncher right now, but I am not sure if there is something "better" out there.

You can use SPBMobileShell 2 (3 will be out soon so you might wanna wait) and look for a skin containing everything you just mentioned. there is a huge skins thread for SPBMS in the Dev&Hack section

Thank you. The challenge has been to find something that works with the square 320x320 screen at 96 dpi. Most screens seem to be for QVGA resolution.

Program shortcuts on Home Tab in Manila 2.1?

Hi all!
I'm just wondering if there in any way (soma CAB maybe) to put some icons-shortcuts (e.g. 3 or 4) to Home Tab in Manila 2.1.19202517?
I have this version of Manila cooked in EnergyROM so I have this big White Clock with weather, Call History and Calendar beneath. When one slide a finger up on the clock it gets minimalized to much smaller one at the top of the screen and there is plenty room under Calendar for e.g. shortcut to camera, browser, notes... whatever!
Is this possible to put some icons there. It would be... fantastic! I'm using HTC Touch Pro with again: Manila 2.1.19202517 cooked in EnergyROM Phoenix 2 (WM6.5).

Use Sense 2.5
There is a EnergyRom available which has Sense 2.5 included.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580293

Thanks man, but I did so many changes to my present software (I have loaded tons of CAB files so far) and personalized TP on my own way that doing it all again with another ROM is a little bit scary
After all You have to HR the phone after installing a new ROM and all Your data and personalization is lost, right?
Maybe simply there is a CAB to do what I want without changing absolutely everything?
Or is there a way to back up all my data and presets... installing a brand new ROM... and then restore my programs, personalization and all?

im looking for the same thing, i couldnt get 2.5 to work with MMS picture mail so i went back to 2.1 and i want the program shortcuts on the home tab also.. is there such a thing for 2.1?

Anyone? Nothing?

Someone is working on it but nothing yet

Calendar Appointments on Today Screen

Good day Guys, on the today screen, normally the calender only display the appointment for the day. Is there any tweak that I can show the upcoming All Day appointments for the whole month or week or even the next 10 upcoming All Day appointments?

Take a look at Cookies Home Tab. This will give you 5 (or 6) appointments for the coming month. It works on Sense 2.5. It depends what type of handset/Manila you have.

What's your thoughts about CHT 2.0

CHT 1.8.5 was just great, but what are your thoughts and experiences about CHT 2.0?

one word: A-WE-SO-ME!

Haven't really used it much since 1.8.5 does everything I need. I can see it being very useful for most, but I prefer 1.8.5. Now that the final is released I may give it another shot, beta was VERY buggy for me. But I'm not sure I can handle the look of it, either. Not trying to bash it, just saying over all I prefer 1.8.5.

its up there mate. the team should be employed by htc earning big bucks for being able to create this....

Hi all.
For me is just the best and most useful software I have for my HD2.
In fact, since I discovered CHT, CHTE and CHTS I don't use any more Spb Phone Suite, Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Pocket Plus and SBSH Phone Weaver.
Splendid app, well done, robust and free to use, (please, if you use it, pay CHT Team a beer, they deserve)!

I think 2.0 is fantastic, the star of the show though for me is CHTS.
Soooooo much time and hassle saved by being able to restore my sense layouts in a matter of seconds

all CHTs and CHT 2.0 are FABULOUS!!
But I think the phone button in the home screen should be changed into something more usefull like "all people" for instance..?

you can change it via cht editor....

To me it's like a whole new software .
Better than Spb better than Sense itself .
Still trying to work it all out to be honest .
It's keeping the HD2 alive in my humble opinion .
Now if only WP7 looked like this ........

problem
i really like cookie home tabs. i have been watching and installing since the first versions. however one time i discovered that to uninstall cht is impossible. i tried so many versions of cht, but on every single of this vers. i had to hard reset to uninstall cht. And nowadays i had a hope that; with 2.0 this problem had solved, unfortunately i see still i cant uninstall it, please help me about situation without advising to hard reset

continue
i am using 1.48 hspl and dutty v7 com2 rom

CHT is almost Sense how it should have been originally! Its brilliant!

CHT2.0 is the 1st time I've "mod'd" the htc hd2. I am impressed but have some questions which havent been answered by the manual or the cht2.0 thread.
1. The clock only appears on the 2nd page across, making me think on the initial install that there was a problem since it shows the 1st page on initial startup. How can I get the clock to display on all pages.
2. When you scroll down (yes down not up) from the clock you get a mini clock and alot of blank space, can quick links be added to this page, cant see an option to.
3. What other cool things can CHT2.0 do that I havent discovered yet?
Would also be nice if CHT fixed the alarm limitation of wm6.5 but I guess I need to find an app for that.

1. Pin it!
2. Use free links!
3. Dunno what've you discovered

It's the only reason I consider using WM 6.5. I've been trying Android for the last few months and love it, but battery is my issue. Co0kie is the ONLY thing that tempts me back to the Windows fold - it's just amazing.
If Microsoft had pulled their finger out and got the HTC Sense + Co0kies team in five years ago, they could have owned the Smartphone market - along with an app-store, of course.
co0kie, you are THE interface for WM6.5, no doubt. Long may you live, you genius.

i know that CHT 2.0 is awesome and has lots of features added to 1.8.5. But for me, CHT 1.8.5 is just perfect in terms of usage and efficiency. For this reason, I really don't mind sticking to it instead of using 2.0. I' m not really so much for widgets, quicklinks are just fine.

Its the most awesome thing ever happen to HD2. At first I was convinced that HD2 is upgradeable to WP7 but later was screwed over. CHT is the saving grace for HD2. In my opinion, CHT Final Release 2.0.0 still have some bugs here and there but its all good if you know how to work around it. Plus you're not gonna fiddle around it all the time after you've got what you've wanted. On the other hand, CHT 1.8.5 is a very very stable version although it lacks some cool features ie. Free Links, Wobble effect and many more. But still, I think its the most versatile mod out there for HD2 compared to SPB, MaxSense and others. Currently on Dutty's v7 COM2 WWE ROM, CHT 2.0.0, CHTE 2.0.0 and finally worth mentioning MrBEOTP2's v3 mod for CHT and have no complains or what-so-ever.

I have to turn back to CHT 1.8.5 'coz I miss my wallpaper change every 30 min by WAPAC 1.4.CHT 2.0 ,still not there yet.Something still missing..

well, this wasn't love at the first sight.. I didn't like 2.0 after 1.8.5 very much and went back to 1.8.5. later, when I get bored without new impressions, I decided to try 2.0 again... and fell in love and now with CHTS I can't imagine my HD2 without these really cool applications that can do almost everything and more
