Greetings all. Had my Touch Cruise about 3 days, and I love it. I've got iGuidance installed and working great, the music button added to the HTC home screen (I'm happy with 5 tabs for now), Installed PocketCM Keyboard which allowed me to "register" my Skyfire beta (having some trouble streaming audio from kjram.com though), etc.
So this device does EVERYTHING I was doing on my HTC 8525 before it died. EXCEPT being able to add additional cities to the HTC Home Weather Application. I'd messed with this on the old phone, and managed to edit the HH weather file under Windows, replace that file with my own version, and then I could add more local cities to the application, and then view their info whever I pleased.
BUT on the Touch Cruise, I can only copy the HH*blahblah*.xlm file... not replace it. Not even with Total Commander, or after hiding the HTC Home menu, soft booting, and then trying to un-writeprotect the file. Has anyone else had any luck with this? I found a thread from a guy who has some universal unlocker apps and such, but all they did was corrupt the HTC app and I was lucky uninstalling them fixed things without a hard reset.
Thanks!!!
Everything works fine here.

Weather cites
I have been able to add any US city I want changing the buitilt in home plug in for the modified 6 tab package that is offered here.
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
Get this modified package and you have an up to date home plug in that you can add cities to

Remember to uncheck the htc home in today settings before you try to copy the modified xml weather files back onto your phone. If you don't it will not copy back
Thanks for the replies. I'm still having trouble so I'm linking to a pic of the problem here.

As you can hopefully see, the HH weather file on my Touch Cruise is read-only. And no program I've tried will change that property. What you see here is AFTER unchecking HTC Home from the Today page, doing a soft reset and confirming the HTC Home plug-in is NOT loaded, then connecting with Activesync and trying to change the properties of that file.
I've also used applications on the device, such as File Explorer and Total Commander, but neither of those worked either. Wonder what I dorked up that I can edit the file like others can.
N2A's Weather Patched Files
Go to N2A's site
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
He tells you how to do it. If you still are having problems let me know what city you want in it and I will make one for you.
You might also need to disable the HTC Home plugin, if you have one running already, from Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items After doing this you should be able to copy the file to your pc modify it and the put it back and over write the file there.
mpf54 - I know exactly what your saying, disable the plugin BEFORE trying to uncheck read-only, or before overwriting it with a copy I edited on my PC. But I can't uncheck the read-only on the device, as the option is greyed out. And when I copied the file to my PC and edited it (as I did on my AT&T 8525), I couldn't paste my copy onto the Touch Cruise for the same reason (would NOT let me overright the file).
As for N2A's site, I tried following these instructions. But I've been unsuccessful put a copy of my DLL into the directory he specifies and "unlocking" my ROM. And when I tried his "Touch" rom, that didn't seem to work on my phone. I had to uninstall the software so the HTC Home screen would show up on my device again.
So I'm guessing I need to "unlock" my ROM somehow so I can edit the HH weather file that is a part of it. But I have no idea how to do that...
Weather
Get this file.
http://weather.not2advanced.com/file...me-2.1-n2a.cab
It is a repacement htc home that also has the 6 tabs. It is also modified already to be able to get other cities not on the HTC list. After you install this cab file then go in and modify the Weather cities list. This has worked for me on a Touch, a sprint touch and my touch cruise.
mpf - Really appreciate the help, and finally understand how this works.
The version of the weather app on my device seems to be part of the ROM, so I can't edit the HH weather file.
However, when I installed the ROM you suggested, it installs ANOTHER copy of the Weather app, and that version stores a DIFFERENT copy of the HH weather file I CAN edit.
So I just need to copy a version of that file to my PC, edit it with Notepad, and copy it back. Should be golden after that.
Thanks again for your assistance. Just couldn't understand what was wrong previously.
Weather
Glad you got it working. Took me a while to find the solution but that new plugin made it easy.

No, I don't think you are the only one. I am too having problems with my weather. I am living and working in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. i followed the instruction, but when I tried to get the weather for the city. It could not find it.
I'm having trouble with my weather also, but not in the same sense. My problem is the weather report, temps and such is usually wrong by as much as 10 degrees with what the local weather report says which is more or less correct. I usually update manually to save battery. I think I might trial some other weather app and see how that goes. Anyone else with with this problem?
German Tool for HTC-Weather
Hi I'm a german and sorry for my worse english.
I had made a little tool for the german Orbit2 / Polaris-users but i think it may also work for others (link to original post).
Translation:
1. deactivate HTC-Home plugin:
go to "start -> preferences -> today" under "elements" disable the HTC-Home2. Location-Code:
get your location-code under
http://www.accuweather.com/world-ind...her&traveler=0
in the addressbar it should looks like that:
www.accuweather.com/world-forecast.asp?partner=
accuweather&traveler=0&locCode=EUR|DE|GM012|TRIER&metric=13. Change the HTCWeather.dll:
install the CAB-File (N2A Patched Home Plugin DLL.cab)
4. Install my file (HTCWetterXML.cab)
start the program "HTC Wetter XML" and insert the above data (see picture original post).5. activate HTC-Home plugin
6. soft reset
7. test it
the data is entered directly in the registry not in the "HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml". So if you change the city over the plugin the data are lost. You have to restart my program and push the insert button again.
here you can get the files.
hope i could help

cbreze - Afraid not. After loading the "new" HTC Touch app, I needed to set the weather back to F for the temps to make sense to me. But I've been able to add several local cities to my phone now, and its working really great!
The one thing I'd kinda LIKE to change, but I'm not going to sweat it... is the new HTC app I installed uses WMP for the music app on the 5th HTC Tab. I kinda liked that the Touch Cruise ROM version used it's own media player, but that's a minor issue I'm happy to live without.
Add cities
If you want to add cites to the weather app keep in mind that the htc home plug in that is shipped with the phone goes to a site that HTC has set up to get the weather. It does not have every city for weather. If you read previous post here you will find a link to a new HTC Home plug in that has been modified. If you upgrade to this plug in you should then be able to change your city and then Get the weather for the city you want.
Get this file.

So finally I got it working, one question remains, is it possible to have two different locations at a time?

Unfortunately no. The app simply isn't made to show multiple cities at once. You'll just have to switch between them as you like, at least until someone makes an app like the iPhone has. Anyone know if such an app has already been written? Would be SWEET on our Touch Cruise phones.

Anyone have a link to this file that they could send me? The site seems to be down and my weather's not updating on my Polaris either.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can make WMP the standard player on the Cube instead of Audio Manager?
Actually I would rather use Audio Manager but it doesn't work.
Until yesterday, i was running the original 6.0 on my Touch Dual. I could never get audio manager to work - it only found one song - and it couldn't be played because of a broken path/link or whatever. Yesterday I upgraded with the original 6.1 from HTC - and figured that audio manager would then work.
But it's almost the same problem. Audio Manager now finds 2 stadard win 6.1 songs - but none of my own songs. There's just a search icon running in the top right corner. I have tried to let it search for over an hour, but it finds nothing. I thougt that a fresh install with 6.1 would work - but no such luck.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
OK... - figured it out. Just changed the value in HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/MediaHubMini to wmplayer.exe instead of AudioManager.exe ... - but I still would like to know, why my audio manager doesn't find anything when searching for songs.
But now I have the problem with Cube / Photos. It points to /Windows/HTCAlbum.exe - I would like to point it at StorageCard/My Pictures - but that doesn't work. Does it have to be an exe-file in order to make it work or what?
If it is the case that it can only point to an exe, which is the case for a lot of registry strings, then check out VJBrisk. It will give you an executable to point the reg string at, and then will just activate the link, which you can copy from the start menu.
Search for vijay555 on google to find his site and the app.
Hey jez
I haven't tested yet - but that looks EXACTLY like the app that can make it work.
Thanx! )
I downloaded Touch Settings. So now I can change the folder without going to registry, but I still need an exe - so VJbrisk should do the trick.
----------------------------------------
Oh well. It was worth a shot, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I can create an exe-file, and I can also get it to open my pictures folder via Total Commander, but when I try to open via the cube - I get an error that says something like: The files certificate is not trusted or a component is missing?
Hi people,
I just downloaded

Installed the 1st link first, then followed directions in 2nd link, and am happy to report that I am now able to do Facebook Mobile Uploads!
Just a couple of gotcha's with this:
1) Camera will not work while the new HTC Album is active. You have to kill HTC album in task manager then start "Pictures and Videos", or press the camera button.
2) HTC Album doesn't seem to like reading many files off my SD Card, as it ocassionally hangs. Still have to investigate this further.
3) Cannot flick through pictures using touch. Have to use the hardware buttons. Im guessing mortscript is the culprit??
I'm using Tomal's 8.5.
Hi everybody:
Im the kind of user that search with striving forces all the forum before ask something or make a request. But since Wednesday I've been looking for something to fix my HTC Fuze and really I couldnt found it. (could be & most probably is a Noob Q, but with all ur knowledge I always gonna be a rookie)
Fisrt, excuse my english. Hope you guys understand my words and help me solve this problem.
Ok, here's the gap.
I installed a few softwares from this page (awesomes by the way), and work perfect. But I don't know why I MISSED THE MP3 FILE ASSOCIATION ICON
The song in WMA format keeps its icon but the mp3 songs dont.
So, the mp3 format songs can be played on wmp or in the music tab of my fuze (the phone recognized it), but the icon that is beside the tittle is the famous "Unknown File Type Icon". Also I cant use any mp3 as ringtone.
What can I do?
Do I have to Restore the my phone again?
Exist an app that I could use to fix this?
I have the idea that a software called "Pocket Music 5.2 Free" was the responsable for this, but Im not sure. Also I removed this app from the Fuze & from the registry, but didnt notice any original icon file association yet.
Phone: HTC FUZE
ROM: 5.08.502.1 WWE
Radio: 1.12.25.19
I Just ask for help Please. Hope any of you have the answer to my puzzle.
Thanks to everyone, again excuse my english & finally have a nice day.
hey, I had the same problem.. the thing u do is, download advanced config it lets u choose file associations.. go to .mp3 and type WMPlayer.exe in the program bar.. good luck mate
Hi Guys!
Did anyone of you experience these bugs happen together?
1. The ringtone suddenly disappear or no ringtone no sound but vibrate.
2. Play music from HTC Sense fail. Keep changing to the next songs until the album finish, but there's no sound playing. Even you select one song only but still cannot play anything.
3. If anyone of you have Resco Explore Today Plubin, you'll found out there's no icon showing at your today screen. But tap it it's working.
After few tests, I found out that these kind of problem can be recover from reset the connection through the "connection setup". Or restore my HD2 from another back up file from spb backup 2.
I discover these bugs will show up after I did these few things:
1 Bad reception for more then 10 to 20 mins.
2 After browning internet by using Opera 9.7 or Opera 10 beta 2 (I assume it's the internet connection problem)
3 Update the contact information from the contact> facebook update.
I'm using 1010 at HK and did install the CSL hotfix from HTC, before I though that it's the hotfix file problem, but someone using Smartone has experience the same bugs.
I tried to delete the all the registry from HTC sense regarding the music tap; delete the file under the folder Application Data> HTC> AudioManager_Eng. But still cannot have the music play from HTC Sense.
So anyone feel the same bugs? Pls share!!!!!
Wrong post... pls delete or move to Leo forum... sorry....
