Hello everyone,
With permission from the creator of mini weather I am posting an english version of the program.
Currently is shows weather conditions in the appointment slide panel.
There is no icons in this version for weather conditions.
I will post screen shots later today when I get home from work.

***Update I cant get the .rar file to my work computer to update the help files***
I will have to wait till I get hime to add the attachment
Ok here is the file, going to try and create a cab file for it, and will update the creator of the file.
Any issue's please post here, also if you notice spelling errors please post here.

THANKS very much
I have Mini Weather installed. Fantastic. Bu how can I have the reading in Centigrade instead of Fahrenheit?
Thanks
I think maybe if you switch from www.google.com to somethingl ike www.google.co.uk (this is in the miniconfig1.ini)
I will ask the developer.

I have been googleing this whole evening but failed. www.google.co.uk only give temperature in C for current condition but not tomorrow and the following day. Even that it was indicated as ??F. It should be ??C. I believe that F is hard-coded.
Hopefully the developer will improve further on this product.
Thanks for your help anyway.

great product....needs icons that shows the clouds for cloudy and sun for sunny etc....can someone work on this...maybe copying and pasting pics from the internet and then assigning them to values in the coding....if someone can give explanation on how..i can test it
ryah I know the chinese version has the icons, this is a first beta in english. I am not sure what he is programming in. I used PE Explorer to edit some spelling issues I originally saw. I have the icon set also that he is using with the Chinese version.
Also I have created a CAB file for it, will post it when I get to work. It cretates the folders, and puts the files in, and also created a RAI for :MINIWEATHER (thinking for future).

Location Display
I added the following to all CityStartStr like this:
CityStartStr=postal_code data="
and I get the City Location to be displayed
Nice, did you figure out the Celcius:

nope. those are sent by the server so some conversion routine need to be coded in the program.
thanks
Does that show the zip code or the city when you added that?
X
Xfaith,
I have installed this and it kind of works. I don't get what I had expected after modifying the ini file. I changed the city which I think worked but I do not get current weather and I don't get extended weather (more than one day). I am sure that I have made a mistake with my modification of the ini. After I modify the ini file do I have to reboot the phone to see the change?
Select update now.
Right now I only show today/tommrow on my slide panel, have not figured out (have not had the time) to go past that and see what else I can get going.
I tried to email the developer to add Celcius support from the settings pane, and he said give it about a week for icons, the chinese version already supports the Icons.
I am working on updating the .cab file I created, but can only do so much.

It show the city name. I tried to upload my homescreen pic but xda server is having problem now.
Thanks
No problem I used <city data in mine instead, which provides the same thing. The developer gave me an update but it was just the spelling issues that I already noticed. I wish I knew what language the program was written in. Or better yet could read the chinese version a little to compare the two.
But I can wait a bit longer as he updates the english version. Hopefully it will be less the a week before we can start seeing icons.

In my case if I use <city data I'll get this:
<city data="Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur"
so,
<postal_code data="Kuala Lumpur" is more appropriate. Well, whatever, we achieved what we wanted to see; that matters.
I dont mind waiting for the icons. My wish list:
- choice between celcius and fahrenheit
- display more days
- everything should be done through the settings panel rather than having to modify the .ini file.
- multiple cities choice
- able to modify city name (especially long names which I want to truncate)
Question: does the "Get Network Time" update the device clock? and can I change to a different server to get the time and the weather report?
im not sure if it is available to do yet but i am currently running 2.1 Eclair Hero Rom (Eugene373)
as currently with any ROM for example browser icon would show the 'browser' title. is there anyway that we can removing titling for the application shortcuts on the homescreen without using different UI (home replacements)?

I don't know if you can ... I know that when developing the app for example in eclipse, that is the first thing you do. you set the title of the app.
You like many other people are still posting these questions in development. I kindly ask if you can please read the first post in development. It explains where this post should be posted.
have a good day!
I don't know the answer I'm afraid but this would be better placed in the developers thread or even in Q&A.
Please take the time to read the stickied threads on the forum, the last one in particular.
Hope you find what your looking for.

Both me and Rooktard said we did not know the answer and was merely trying to move him to the appropriate place to post.
If people didn't understand where to post then we would never be able to find any roms or mods due to the amount of junk being posted anywhere. That is why the site managers wwent to the trouble of providing a structured format for each differing section.
The only true way to help them is by steering them onto the correct path making it a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Well the repeat was due to both repling at the same time as this is not live I cannot see what's replied to whilst I type.
And we had a thread last night that got silly because rather than help I posted something that got some upset.
Seems being nice gets you the same amount of people unhappy as just being straight to the point.
Guess we just can't win with some .....
oohhh! i am very sorry i totally forgot to put it in the right section.
thanks for help also, ill be happy with what i have but it seems it could be a possibility at some time.
technically it could be in this section because it could be developed but im no expert at doing so..>.<
but yeah thanks for the heads up.
i always visit the dream development because i always do tweakings to my phone and it was 1st instincts as soon as i loaded xda
any moderator able to transfer it to Q&A G1?
thanks for the answers xda's
I have a question but I'm to lazy to think or search.....ill make a new thread in dev section n mu question is Have u seen my brain?
Here are a couple of things to try, not sure if any or all will work or not.
1. Use Bettercut or Anycut, choose edit an existing, then for your first icon that you want to remove the name for, replace it with one space (hit the spacebar once). For the second one, replace the name with two spaces. For the third, three spaces. And so on. I'm almost positive this one will work.
2. If #1 doesn't work, I'm not sure whether or not the homescreen recognizes HTML code or not. If it does, instead of using spaces, type the following instead of a space. You'll need to do this for each space you are trying to type (and do not type the quotation marks): " "
3. If #1 and #2 don't work, then hold down ALT and press the spacebar once. That should create a ANSI space. You'll want to do that for each space you're wanting to create.
Since I believe each icon on the homescreen has to have a different name (Don't have my phone right now to test it), that's why you'll need a different number of spaces for each name. In other words, the 1st icon would need 1 space, the 2nd icon would need 2 spaces, the 3rd icon would need four spaces, etc. That may not be entirely necessary, but it won't hurt anything either.
Please let me know which, if any, of these tricks work.
Wish I could test this and give you the exact answer. But I believe the first example works. Grab Anycut off the Market and give it a try.

I used betterCut and I used one space for a shortcut. Well... It works if you don't mind that text background still there. So its not really great.

I tried the official beta, as I'm a member, and a SGS version both on my G-Tablet and they install but wont open as the resolution is not supported. If there's a apk that does actually work. I'd love to just KNOW that. and I'll find it myself.
Thanks!
I tried using the swype from my epic but when I installed it and enable it it just FCs. I did use slideit but the keyboard took up most of the screen. Anybody else have any luck?
This is also something I am very interested in and have yet to get it to work.
I made the changes that rothnic suggested in the build.prop, loaded the lib, and dropped the ap in system/app and my tab doesn't see it at all. I've loaded a ' few' different versions on it that install but just fc. I've spent hours on it with no luck yet.
I'm not giving up hope for someone to release and update.zip but I'm not going to bother rothnic about it (anymore) as I'm sure he's working on roms and such. Even if he weren't, he's done more than his share here and I'm sure one of us will get it.
I'm still working it myself and if I make any progress I will surely let everyone know.
Just a reminder we can't post the .apk for swype here, as we don't want the thread pulled, again.

It sounds like you are doing something wrong when copying it over. It should come up under keyboards in settings. You would enable it there, then long press on an input box to switch to it.
I just did this a second time today and can confirm that it works.

yea, I was hoping that was the case but there can't be much that can go wrong. Download it or copy over via usb... then use root explorer to put it under system/app
For some reason I cant get ADB to work anymore? It had at one time. Do we know of any known issues with flashing that we loose the ability to ADB?
Oh well... I am a patient person and it's not like its a deal breaker for me. All is working pretty smoothly 3 weeks into the game.
Swype / ADB ... Progress / NO Progress
Ok, this is VERY interesting...
I still cant get swype to work. I FINALLY got to ADB push the .apk and the Lib and triple checked the build.prop (even used a couple different ones).
All I get is an FC over and over and when I got to settings-applications-manage, to clear cache, it's grayed out. I booted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache, wipe cache, and data. I have even gone as far as to re-flash the ZPAD 1.1, load gApps, Market Hack, Open GL Hack, and restart the whole swype process again with the same result.
HERE IS THE INTERESTING PART and we may want it posted elsewhere: I couldn't get my win7 to load the proper ADB driver (even though it had worked before). I found an app call ADBWireless (widget). It allows me to hit the widget and connect through ADB wirelessly (local wifi) and push/pull ect.
This was amazing and easy to use. Of course you have to have the Tab up so it wouldn't help for anyone who's in a loop.
When you hit the widget it shows the local ip address to connect to:
-I go to the command prompt \androidsdk\tools and type:
adb connect 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
-it connects, and I am able to see the device
I have to use adb remount and then I'm good to go.
Hope this helps someone down the road. I'll keep checking back here but feel free to PM me if you have any questions (or find an update.zip for swype to work).
I made a little progress last night, got rid of the FCs but I can't get the keyboard enabled in the Settings. I managed to track down a Swype version from a Samsung Gaxlaxy Tab, at least that is what I think it is from, and then I had to find the necessary Lib file from somewhere else but when I push the .so to the Lib through ADB and install the Apk it seems like I'm closer, I can open the Swype settings screen and change things but I just can't get the keyboard enabled in the settings and then of course I can't pick the Swype keyboard when configuring the input method.
What changes were you making to the build.prop?

there was a 'header' so to speak that Rothnic posted that mad a few changes to the build.prop to make it look like portions of the Galaxy. He has it at the 'other' fourm.
Checked the permissions on the build.prop and they looked different. I couldn't just 'change' them in root explorer so I re-inserted the lines on the original build.prop, also did a fix permissions in CM (not that it helped).
Permissions in the lib file are hard to tell what they are supposed to be because several of the lib files there have different ones set. Swype.apk permissions look the same as the others. Still getting same FC's over and over. I was able to get into manage apps and hit force stop and clear (quickly tho) but goes back to the same after reboot.
Thanks for trying, as I said before, it's not a biggie. I just enjoy swype as being from palm and blackberry phone's if it weren't for swype I dunno that I would have kept an Android phone.
I can wait, I've spent too many hours jackin with it (although I did learn about the adb wireless and I am comfortable in pushing file that way now)
I managed to get it working although it is a little laggy. I followed rothnic's info in the other thread and after playing around with the build.prop file it is now working. Hopefully as the roms get faster this will get faster. Thanks for the help.

How did you do it? Can you be specific? Which version of Swype are you using? Where did you find it? What other thread?
Working on latest zpad rom. Had to set permissions - I think the important ones were r-x for User on both the lib and apk. And of course the build.prop edits.
-=Sent from my ViewSonic G Tablet using Tapatalk=-
I'm pretty sure the swype word is naughty here so I suggest you google for 'rothnic swype' and check the post on the other forum that comes up.
I used adb to push the modified build.prop to the sd card, along with the .so and .apk files. Then I used adb shell to copy the files to the locations rothnic specifies.
Just as thread title says. At least on ayoteddy's gingerclone rom.
Just go find the apk, install, and enjoy!

Okay, I'm quite sure this is an utterly stupid question, but I've dug around in the FAQ's and the general forums and can't see an answer so I'm going to risk being flamed as a noob to ask. When I try loading the link (above) for the Netflix app, I consistently get a message that I do not have permission to access the page, and that new users (with under 10 posts) aren't permitted to POST to the Devel forums.
I'm not trying to post - just to access the thread, and since it says "To encourage this new Users can read but not post in these forums." I assume that I should be able to view the thread. Am I missing something incredibly stupid and obvious, or doing something wrong, or is it just that you're unable to even view anything in the development-related forums until you have more than 10 posts?
Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to reply and open my eyes on this. If you really want to flame me for being a noob feel free, but it won't bother me any. I know my status, and my limits.
Adios!
Yeah, I hated their noob restrictions. I have uploaded the RED version to SugarSync (like DropBox)

Thanks ncmacasl, I appreciate it!
The red is fine, that's the version I was looking for anyways. I wouldn't have minded it as much if it were clear that it was part of the noob restrictions, but it seemed like the message was saying two different things so I wasn't sure.
Thanks for the help!

good xml guide so i cam write my own script...im decent in html so think ill be able to pick up xml. thanks.

I may be wrong but I believe that all occurs in the boot loaders which means the OS is not loaded. If it's still in the boot loader process then the kernel modules necessary to access certain functions of the hardware (GPS, modem, etc.) are not loaded yet. That would prevent access to the network. A qualified dev might have to speak to it, though, as I might be off-base.
There is a thread in the themes and apps section to flash linda on your phone. Like Raver previously had on VB. You may start there and try replacing the sound files.

Reread his request. He is asking for something not possible.
During boot your phone is loading the necessary radios and files. The project Linda stuff is preloaded with commands that trigger preloaded sounds. That is not realitime just tirggered by certain scripts running.
If you want it to announce each time you unlock that is another animal. IIRC there are several apps that do similar might search the market via a pc so they arent filtered on your phone.
Dear god eollie. I dread opening a thread and finding your commentary after something I post. I hate the thought of hurting your feelings and owing the community an apology.
during boot wont happen... As the phone doesnt have acccess to the network tell after the firmware is loaded...
boot process = Init
Linda the lady you hear during the conversion process is just prebuilt audio files into the voodoo inframats... Haveing the phone beable to tell you your name time and temp outside of the actuall operation of the device isnt going to happen.. Especally sence during boot its intalizing the stuff needed.
that would be like having your laptop check your bank info before you even boot into the os....

What the hell are you talking about?
All I said was reread his request. I think you misunderstood him...good god man. To think I just sent you a apology via pm for my initial reactions to you. Seriously stop thinking Im picking on you. You offered something that as confirmed by raver ISNT POSSBILE.

Ok heres the dealio, that is giving hope to something not possible. Just simply not possible. Its like pretrolling him into posting thats not what he wants..then smacking him with a android nerf bat saying dummy.
No written expression is/does get taken out of context. Kinda like your initial post to me. Im still trying to figure out how I implied you owed anybody a apology or anything tho. /shrug
back on topic....
xxprincecjxx as raver stated its not possible on boot up. But I do know I seen apps that would do similar on unlock. Im lazy and not going to search. But use a pc browser and search android market it will show unfiltered results. Then you might be able to contact the dev if its not available for the SGS4G.
thanks
thanks for all the replys...
so what i gather is that its impossible to get linda to voice the weather because the nwtqoek hasn't loaded yet. However it seems possible to change the preloaded audio files which linda loooks at. hmmm it may be possible to say a symbolic constant (something static) like a name or a phrase during boot. i believe it comes down to the commands which r read during boot.
sorry but now i have another ?
How would i change pre loaded audio files to my own custom one. is it possible to do or is it burnt into rom? im off to read about linda and pre loaded audio files and what cmds are read at boot.
agian...
thx for all the info...very helpful

If you wanted to change the boot sound you can do that to have it say your name.
The link lumin posted has a zip file that you can extract and push the files to the respective folders. In theroy you could replace the files with whatever you wanted as long as you rename then to whats there currently and rezip it.

thanks i've found project linda's link...downloaded...i just dont know where the "respective folders are located" . where is the boot sound located in filesystem? i'll start at root of phone and search for each app individually and apply my own custom sound as you mentioned. i'll zip and move to folders once i find say the messages notification folder resides...
for boot i was actually thinking a modified bootloader script which acts like a virus sort of but thatthat is too much codeing for what im trying to accomplish so i will conclude as u and ravwr said its impossible for now.
Read up on Linux and the initramfs. That's where this stuff is stored per Raver (thanks for the lesson, Raver).

Download the file to your pc. Put your created sound files in place of the ones in the zip that you want to replace. Rezip it and then flash it via CWM. It should put the files in the proper location.
Now regarding your name on boot. If you create a bootsound and name it properly it should play on boot but it would be during your boot animation. Maybe you could get a custom bootanimation with your name and such and it would be close to what your looking for.
Regarding the phone saying your name - check your system folder using Root Explorer app.
If you have system\etc\PowerOn.wav - it's the boot intro.
You can change it to "Hello...."

thx it worked. replaced linda with my own custom sounds. i got it actually telling me weather once an hour and how many msgs calls i missed and couple other things.
as far as boot i found the file bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation.zip i'm running val final black edition. there are no sound files in this folder. just the boot images. would i put
sound file in this folder or would i brick phone at next boot with sound file in images folder? also what extension should i make sound file? i see .ogg refrenced a lot bit soneone above said .wav so im unsure what ext i should make it.

i agree with you on the fact that this is possibly impossible...
but my friend 10 15 yrs ago someone would have told you it was impossible for a phone to have a 1.5 ghz dual core processor. or the beggining of cell phones someone would have told you it would be impossible to watch a live streaming football game on your cell phone.
