[MOD SUGGESTION] Weather / Wallpaper - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Would it be possible to have your coice of wallpaper change relevant to the weather?
A Sunny day would have possible a Scenic bright image
Rainy would have a steamed up window
etc..
At night the Background would change to a darker background, night sky or something.
I've googled to see if a mod exists and couldn't find anyhting, would this be too difficult to implement?

you're right !
I search the same thing...
but nothing ....

i used some autochanger program , found in the forum. but after 12-18 hours it makes the phone almost slow as turtle.stoped it and everything is fine now.
so i guess such a program will kill memory.

favourite today weather

what are peoples poisons ?
how many are free?
personaly i find the only show 1 days weather like the default touch plugin seem to do kinda useless unless you work underground and cant look out the window
it's what tomorrow and the day after brings that i wanna know about
SPB Weather is the one I have gone back to time and time again, although saying that I don't currently use it.
The problem I find is that whatever it says changes from morning to afternoon since weather is so unpredictable.
Now I simply use weather plugins on www.google.com/ig and view that on Opera.
I'm still using PocketWeather with the radar images configured on my Today Screen. I have two images for each city -- one regional and one local so I know what's coming during the day and how long it will take for anything showing on the regional radar to get here. I also have it set to update weather conditions and radar images every 15 minutes so the info is always up-to-date. . . wouldn't leave home without it.

Display Seconds and World time in Homescreen

Hi all..
Is it possible to display seconds after the hour, minutes and in front of the AM/PM display in the homescreen clock of a SMARTPHONE?
You know, like hh:mm:ss tt format?
I tried this in the HKLM/nls/overrides entry, but it only shows hh:mm tt, seconds are not displayed.
If the seconds are displayed, does it take more battery power, due to the constantly changing display?
Also is it possible to display atleast one world clock in the SMARTPHONE today screen by using some xml edit, and without using another plugin? If not, with a plugin? I searched everywhere, but none seemed to have a good smartphone plugin.
Codecity CityTime was said to have one plugin in 1.5, but now they are 2.0 and dont seem to have a SMARTPHONE homescreen plugin. And I cant find the 1.5 version anywhere either.
BTW, my device is a samsung blackjack2 (SCH i617)
Thanks guys..
Regards
Steve
for clock with seconds on home screen, i use Pocket Digital Clock
for world clock, i use SPB Time
Thanks, but it didnt work in my smartphone. Guess its for Professional
maybe it' time to get a professional phone? haha
Not that netnerd, I already have two Professionals (the latest being Tilt which you should know being in USA), but I find this more handy, thats why

Manila Weather - problem with moon and sun

I have problem with Manila Weather.
Today in the morning i updated manila weather - everything is ok, temputere etc, but there is no sun only moon (like at night). All my locations has the same "bug". Moon is also on a new locations, which I added. In my location is almost 12 am.
I deleted forecast_cache.db file and it didn't help.
Is it sth wrong with my phone/soft or with this weather service?
I have hd2 3 months and this happened first time.
funny same for me today i upload every hour and still the moon !!
cannonbal, I think this is a problem with the service, not with our phones....
But, i dont know if the weather will be fixed by itself or we will have to do something.
I live in poland.
Does anyone have such problem?
Same for me in Austria.
Don´t worry, must be a bug in the external weather-server and can´t be corrected on HD2. Maybe a time-code is transmitted wrongly.
Let´s see if it is still the same in a couple of days then we´ll have to contact HTC service to check the weather data provider service if they didn´t got to it already.
Best You change to Dunc´s and Davej´s DDT-Weatherpanel Ultimate 2 threads above ir´s the best and most reliable weather app You can have on this planet.
This is a global issue!! Some server problem just like My Location couldn't be updated last time and now fixed. So not your phone's own problem.
Thx for your answers!
Fixed today!!
Same happens here in my case.It seems that Accuweather is the most unreliable service...Does anyone knows how to change weather provider in manila?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It´s not possible without changing the weather application itself
Same here sun at night moon during the day lol but hey they'll sort it out.
I bought weatherbug elite since it has way more features and a city list that comes in handy.

[REQ] Anyone up for a challenge?

Looks pretty cool. Anyone up for it? Maybe as a widget instead of a lock screen? A full page widget our luck screen. Doesn't really matter...

I think a Live Wallpaper would be better.
Do you mean something like this?
That looks good. It's a widget, right? What's the name?
Search market for wordclock, there are widgets and livewallpapers
It's my widget - One More Clock. However, I'm in the middle of a rewrite (from XML to JSON) and this theme is using the new format.
Here, use this apk and pick the "Clock Too" theme... it defaults to 4x2 but you can resize to any size you want if you have launcherPro/ADW.
Leave me feedback so I can incorporate them into the next version of OMC!
Definitely need a lockscreen AND a livewallpaper of the one at Gizmodo. It's pretty awesome.
@PhilDsT: Searched according to your suggestion but couldn't find anything that looks really like the Qlocktwo. Only more or less "ugly" copies.
@xaffron: Thanks alot! After changing the background color to black, it looks almost like the original! And I now think that this is better as widget instead as LWP, because if it's an LWP, you could hardly read the time depending on how the desktop is arranged. So yes, this is really great!
What I notice on my Dell Streak is that loading the widget takes quite a long time (something like 15 seconds or so) after unlocking. Not really an issue for me, but maybe interesting for you.
If I may, I'd like to ask one question: Do you think you could also add a german version? The letter layout would need to look like on the real Qlocktwo as seen here. I would of course help you with a translation matrix if required.
Many TIA!
Thanks for the feedback, BigBlue007! Turn on Foreground Mode for now for best responsiveness. I'm working on the part that gives faster updates on screen-on.
Here's the German version. I've been telling anyone who would listen that OMC skins well, so might as well put my money where my mouth is
Unzip to your SD Card, under the /OMC directory (so that it is /OMC/Clock2German).
the Clock2 German theme will now be available. I don't know German so this is just a guess - let me know what to tweak!
Cool! Thanks alot! Will check it right now and will come back to you with corrective suggestions if there are any.
OK, first of all, the letter matrix is 100% correct. F*cking awesome mate! Thanks again!
Now for the first correction: The current time right now would read as:
"ES IST VIERTEL VOR EINS"
What's missing is the "S" at the end of the word "EINS" (which is "ONE"). The "S" is there, but it's not lit.
edit: I took a look into the .json file and I think I am able to fix it myself my replacing the two occurances of "E I N" in lines 479 and 491 by "E I N S". From what I can see in that file, everything else should be correct.
edit2: Yes, modifying the .json file had the desired effect.
Enabling the foreground option does indeed solve the issue that it took long for the widget to redraw after unlock. What still take some time is redrawing it after changing from portrait to landscape mode or vice versa. But I'm sure this will be sorted out during the further development, and as said it's not really a big deal for me.
After looking into that .json file, I would say that I might indeed had been able to create a german version myself, so sorry for bothering you with that...
Thanks, glad you figured out the JSON yourself! Other languages should be pretty simple as well.
I'll change the theme and upload a new version once I get a few minutes.
Corrected Clock2German
Here's a fixed Clock2German theme.
- Changed default slate color from green to black.
- Fixed position of ZEHN and FUNF.
- Cleaned up overlay glass.
Just found OMC, and when flipping through the themes my yaw dropped at "Clock Too". AWESOME!!!!! My new favorite

Weather Live Wallpaper

So, after searching the Apps section and trying a few Apps suggested by some others, I am at a loss for why this doesn't exist. I know Lock screens are pretty well dead due to the advent of biometric logins but Live Wallpapers still seem to thrive. I know all the bad that comes with them, battery life and whatnot. But every Live Wallpaper I have seen, is little more than either a looped video or an animation that plays in a loop (maybe the rare one is interactive but I digress). Perhaps it is because widgets exist, but those too come with their own set of limitations I am sure, since I am not a developer I would not know.
If anyone remembers the HTC Sense 5 Weather Live Wallpaper, it was on the lockscreen but that is unimportant. It was a great weather live wallpaper, had excellant animations including lightning rain drops on the screen, snow, moon cycle, etc..
I am looking for a fullscreen widget that will do this, or perhaps a halfscreen? The point is, a widget that does weather animations based on the current weather conditions and perhaps a few hours out and then when you press on the widget, it would open whatever default weather app you had or at the least, whatever app it was using for its information.
Since I am pretty sure this app doesn't exist, it either means this is a new idea (VERY unlikely) or that there is a limitation somewhere (perhaps only on Samsung devices?) that is preventing it from working the way I am hoping. Its been many years since I was here and it makes me wonder if this idea has already been hashed out and found to be dead or if the idea just went away.
If anyone can let me know, I would appreciate it. If I am missing something, perhaps an app that looks a bit shady (low number of reviews and downloads) but is exactly what I am looking for, please give me the name. I've been all over the Play Store and the Galaxy Store and it kind of makes me wonder why this doesn't exist or if I am just blind.
FYI, my current device is the Fold 3, so if HTC has something that is what I am looking for but won't work on my device, it will suck but the question is still valid.
Thanks!
