WM 6.1 Homescreen weather plugin

Hey everyone!
First off I want to thank Dr. Gonzo again for the 6.1 rom. It's great and love it!
Second, I was using the HTC home screens that user tho made (found here) and I really got used to having the weather plugin on the homescreen. I really like how the homescreen is setup on this new rom, but I still want a weather plugin for it. Is there any way to add that plugin to this homescreen?
thanks.

if i was you i would try the following:
install the home plugin on your device. copy the .xml file from the plugin to your harddrive. open it and find the coresponding <plugin...> entry for the plugin. Then copy this entry to the xml-file of your skin of choice and there it should appear again... if it does not work or you have no clue what i was talking about, give me report.. i will try to do it for you,

Yea that's what I was thinking about doing. I just did not know if it would work or if it would look alright. I'm at work now so I don't really want to mess with it, but I'm going to try that when I get home.

ok. let us know if it worked when you're done

Wow this is a lot more difficult than I had thought. I can't find the weather plugin in the HTC Home screen and as the other thread may have tipped you off, the Sliding Panel home screen is very confusing to work with.
Basically what I would like to accomplish is to have Weather on my homescreen, while still using the Sliding Panel motif. So like if I could click over to the right next to where it displays the time it would show the weather. I'm going to keep working on this, but if anyone would like to jump in and help me I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

according to the slide panel. I think all you can do is to manipulate the panels with basic configurations read out from the registry. It is not that easy to create something new, but i think a good point to start is always the manipulation of the welcome center, because this one is what most people need when they like to make "their own panels". The only way something will create a new slide is to code a plugin which is dedicated to appear in the slides. and still someone has to figure out what basic options are needed to create a new panel or to figure out what these guids are respectively.
Can you provide the htc home xml at least? it would be nice to have all extracted files in a zip file, so i do not have to install it again and pic all files out by myself.

Well that's sortof bad news that I can't create something new, however it might still be possible to edit the home panel to add that in?
I attached the xml for one of the home screens. I looked through it all and couldn't find the plugin for the weather but maybe you will have better luck than I will.

well, that is exactly what i meant. First choice, change one of the existing panels. If it works then and someone can explain those damn GUIDs I think we would manage to get it work on an own panel.
As far as it is "documented" in the XML (which is quite interesting i think for non wm6.1) this is the plugin-option for the htc home:
<plugin clsid="{B0C8AC4B-CDDC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171}" name="HTCHome" height="88"></plugin>
This means to me, that cannot extract the weather-plugin for the homescreen unless you know how the home-plugin was made and the weather-plugin is a standalone, built-into htc home.
if you install the htc home, and edit your slidingpanel.xml with this tag somewhere, the home plugin should appear. I added the .xml for Frau Hottelmanns panther scheme with the htc home plugintag so you can see what i mean (not sure if the comment-tag is allowed, so just remove it before uploading to your device).
This is all I can do for you right at the moment.

Alright, Thanks a lot. I will try it when I get home.

I am really sorry that i wrote some damn ******* before It surely is possible to create new slides!!! It is just not possible to create a slide with ANY functionality
i just had the idea, that we may figure out what the minimal options for a slide are and then go on to figure out what the others are. But if we know the minimal options we could for example copy the testuiplugin-panel and try to get it work with the entire htc home plugin in it.
just wanted to write that, so you would not be that hopeless

Ok, what i found so far is:
- The htc home plugin works on wm6.1 as usual
- It seems not to work with the bronze-plugin in the same theme
* when loading the theme, the htc home plugin is displayed but vanishes as fast as the bronze-plugin is loaded.
* i played around with the height-attribute from the bronze-plugin but it seems to have absolutely no effect
- what i discovered in one of the previous skins is, that there are at least two major plugins for the htc home plugin which can be loaded in a theme. there is the notificationbar where the calls and sms etc. are shown and there is the htchome where the weather is displayed and so on.
- I also found that the exe-file for the weather-plugin is located at /windows/weather.exe so maybe its possible to configure the "output" on a call of this file and the weatherplugin is displayed (which means that we could put it into a slide)
- I also found an old thread here on xda for the "customization" of the htc home plugin, but it seems that the way the plugin works has changed since this thread and the version gregory released
- what is missing is something like a documentation on the htc home plugin, so which parts are implemented, how are they called from the homescreen etc. maybe gregory, if he's still around here has any idea(s) ???
- i just got that the weather.exe sets the city, downloads and refreshes the local weatherdata. So the output has to be somewhere else.

sounds like you are onto something here. Since the HTC home weather plugin is causing some problems, I think I am going to take a look at some other weather plugins. They might make it a little easier. I'm specifically looking at SPB Weather and Fizz Weather.
The only problem is, once I install them I'm not really sure how to put them into the slide panel. I'm going to play around with it and I'll let you know.

A tip from my side... always start from the delivered .xml files for the theme. mostly you can see there how they are implemented in the home-screen... then you just have to copy it.
i am wondering why the htc home plug does not work with the bronze. rinkus iconbar does, and its also just another plugin implemented... It also would not make sense that microsoft put something in the code of bronze which disables other home plugins

You mit be better waitin until HTC release a WM6.1 Standard ROM to see if HTC customize bronze to have parts of there Home plugins integrated and extract everything from a ROM then making a cab file to install it .
Roland

this was my first thought, but as you may know, there are people out there (yes, i am one of those ) that do not like to wait and have things first and before all the others do

Lockscreen Wallpaper Collection

I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.
img7.imageshack.us/img7/9920/lockscreenhardy.png

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.

Here is one I created. Enjoy

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.

awesome. thanks, both of you.

I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....

Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?

The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.

This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.

I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful

Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.

OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.

Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.

Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.

Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget​
Description: New widget - Animation. The principle is simple folder put a bunch of equally-sized pictures (preferably not more than 20 and not horse-sized (enough for 100 * 100)) and in a certain place the widget you will see endless cartoon.
All images are stored in Program Files \ BL_Group_Animation, and have the template name BL_Group_AW_ (three-digit number with leading zeros pictures). Png. This means that if you have the first frame of his room in the name of the tether will be 001, but if the tenth is 010. Before replacing the images would recommend to disable the widget from the table, remove the old pictures, upload their pictures (their number may not coincide with mine), add the widget to the table with the will recount the images in the folder and will start your animation. In the CAB today is a dancing rabbit, the symbol 2011.
I want to note that the picture turns Manila and because a similar rate of gif files will not be able to achieve.
There is an opportunity to move, resize, and dock.
Compatible with other widgets.
Author: B & L_Group (MoonNah)

Now we're talkin!!!!
Another nice one.
This should get some creative juices flowing!!!

Wow^^ trying right now
.....mmmh I got massive problems with it I installed your cab to my device memory. But when I put it on my homescreen and soft reset like it suggested my homescreen was kind of destroyed. the taskbar and the old softkeybar is displayed ( the one with Phone and contacts) but the homescreen is black. I cant get to settings to deinstall it and not a single other thing. I cant remove it from the homescreen, because it seems my device isnt using CHT2 at the moment
would be glad if you could help me fast.
I cant really provide system information, because I cant get them to be displayed. The only thing I can say, is that I am using elegancia rom
Edit:
well got my homescreen back due to reinstalling and just softreseting after the deinstallation:
OS : 5.2.21916 (21916.5.0.95)
Manila : 2.5.20181424.0
Rom: Elegancia V 5.0 Final WWE
Radio 2.07.50.27_2

Hmm, working just fine here.
Thanks again for your efforts to get this out.

No problems here also.
Thanx for this nice widget, it's fun

Moonah, you are a madman
Is there a way of altering the frame speed? If so this could be really easily adapted to be a slideshow widget - just place images for slideshow in the folder, name correctly, set frame speed to 5 seconds or so and voila, digital slideshow

Happy Holidays
Install Animation Widget HERE from MoonNah first.

I use png files, and there is no compression plays a role, but why not see this question because this widget is easiest as ABC

might be something with the mode 9 file or the lua, or the xml file sry I dont know. the functionality might be simple, but i am way to stupid to solve this problem. I had an issue with poyensas typoclock too. but version 3 worked perfectly

Can you check in your registry and see which widget slot it is installing to (HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down to CHTI.AddonWidget.Slot...) If it is slot 10 and you have not applied the 20 slot widget fix then this might be your problem.

Mock Honeycomb lockscreen for any phone!

First post on this site, so bear with how horribly round-about this actually is.
Examples are attached, as I can't post outside links, even to images.
Introduction:
Instead of flashing the honeycomb lockscreen to my phone, I decided to set out and create a suitable alternative. I didn't want to dig too deep into my Evo, but I still wanted something that looks good and works. Thankfully, I found a fantastic app that pretty much allows me to do just that already: LockBot.
Many of you may know of LockBot already, but some don't, so here's the basics: it's a free replacement for your lockscreen that allows you to customize it beyond compare. As well, it allows you to use the lockscreens of many other ROMs (Eclair, Hero, Galaxy, among the names) as a basis. With this in mind, it allows you to modify almost everything, all while being free. Did I mention it's completely free? So let's dig in.
Instructions:
First step, download the zip file attached to this post that contains the images you'll need to use in this project. Upload these images onto your phone's SD card in a new directory. You obviously only need to upload the background you wish to use, the lock icon, and the "blank.png" file. Do not upload the .psd file or the "demo" files, as they won't do you any good there.
Then, install LockBot on your phone (I would link to it, but as I'm a new user, I can't post outside links).
With LockBot open, click "New Theme". Select "Eclair" from the menu (if you bought the paid application you can select Galaxy for a more realistic experience).
Hit "Menu" up in the top right corner of the screen. Change your background to be that of your selected style (if you chose to use the Eclair lockscreen, select "eclair-bg.png").
Select "Menu" again to edit the clock. Select digital, and then tap on the clock itself to edit it. Select "Hide Clock Background" to remove that ugly grey line.
Tap the clock again and this time choose "edit clock". On the first dropdown under "Date Font" select the option you want. I chose "Sunday, February 20", for example. After you have selected the correct date format, hit your phone's back button to get out of the menu.
Tap "Menu" again and select "Style". Click your style once again to confirm what you want to go with, and then tap on the slide bar. Click "Change Unlock ICON" and change it to the lock.png file included in the zip folder.
Before you change the Slider Background, make sure you click "Move Slider" and align the lock icon with the circle on the background. Be sure to keep it a little below the correct placement. For some reason, LockBot isn't great on exact placement for this one feature. You can adjust for it, however.
After you have moved the unlock icon, change every other icon to the "blank.png" file, including the slider background itself.
When you are done, hit menu and then save. Your new theme will be in the "My Themes" section of the app. This is where you have to select which lockscreen you want to see...
Hit your phone's menu button to bring up the "Playlist" option. Select it. From here, uncheck every theme except for your new theme. If you don't do this step, it will randomly select between all of the other themes to display when you turn your phone on.
Hit the back button to get out of the menu.
You are almost done! Right now, when you unlock your phone, you get a vibration. If you wish to edit that or remove it completely, hit your phone's back button until you get to the app's main menu. Hit your phone's menu button and select "Config". Select "Vibrate" and select your preference.
Now you are done.
To revert these changes, simply uninstall the app and delete the folder of images from your SD card. Unistalling the app will give you your stock lockscreen back.
Known Issues:
- The clock doesn't have the correct font. This can be fixed by using a live wallpaper for your background. I don't have one, but it can be quickly and simply created.
- Once in a rare while the lockscreen will skip right to the home screen. This all depends on how much RAM your phone has free at that moment, but this application doesn't use much at all. As well, it may take a couple seconds after your phone has been put to sleep before the lockscreen will come back. Quickly hitting the sleep button twice might just skip the lockscreen all together. Give it a couple seconds of sleep to realize it needs to launch the lockscreen.
- Using the Eclair lockscreen, the lock icon can only go in one direction or the other, not in a free motion like the real Honeycomb lockscreen. This is kind of solved by using the Galaxy version of the lockscreen Even then, however, if you use the standard clock (instead of using a live wallpaper), it drags the clock along with the lock icon. Other than that, the Galaxy option works flawlessly, as if it really were Honeycomb. Please note: the Galaxy option works perfectly if you use a live wallpaper for the clock! This is the closest we can get to the Honeycomb lock screen with this method. It does cost money for the paid app to use this option, however.
If anybody can create a live wallpaper, much in the same nature as the "wp_clock_light" from the Market, please contact me or leave a post here. Creating a live wallpaper with the correct font would mean that this project can be completely authentic.
Also, one last note: in the zip file, I have included the .psd of the images. The original size for the background image is 513x855 simply to get around some random (and odd) limits that the developer of the app put in. You can use the "city_wallpaper.jpg" file to create a background image of any size. This will allow you to use this method on any phone you want. Obviously, this is intended for the Evo primarily because that's the phone I own, and it's the only phone I have access to. This works on any 2.2+, as far as I know. If the app works with your phone, then this method works, too. I'm pretty sure this doesn't require a root, but I'm not the author of the app, I simply used this as the quickest, easiest method of getting what I wanted: the Honeycomb lockscreen. If you have any ports you'd like to include, please post here with the background image files attached. Thanks!

sweet thread im loving the sweet honeycomb lol
here is a link to that app
lockbot
i would provide a pro apk but i don't wanna support piracy

This is fantastic! Great work! I wanted this lock screen the moment I saw it and this is a great alternative! Thank you.

how would you make the wallpaper a live wallpaper?

Download of attachment stops at like 60kb

Doesn*t work for GalaxyTAB and doesn't support Landscape Mode for me..
Doesn't give the feeling of Honeycomb to me :/

Ok, I'm at a loss. I downloaded Pro so I could utilize the Galaxy option, and for the life of me, I can't get my lockscreen to look like the screenshots... How did you manage to get the lock icon and the so?derived background to line up????

My clock moves also...

Wow, didn't realize I was getting hits on this thread. Like I said in the OP, you can select the "style" from the top right, hit the type of style you want, and select to move the slide around from the menu (select "move slider"). You must use the appropriate background, however.
Honda, you are correct that there is no landscape mode. That is a limitation if the app, unfortunately. As well, you will gave to use the OSD file I provided to create a larger background for the tab. This was designed for phones, not tablets. You are more than welcome to use it on the tab, but you will have to do some extra work for it.
One last note: when I first created this thread, I submitted my work to the developer to be added to the gallery. Now, you can simply launch the app, go to the gallery, hit the "Eclair" tab, scroll to February 20th, and select the one entitled "Honeycomb by Mark". I see someone already took my background and work and tried submitting a Galaxy version, but it is horribly buggy, and the developer hasn't added my Galaxy version to the gallery. The Eclair version I submits works fine, however. You can download that I'd you have the Pro version of the app (the free version is unable to download themes).
Let me know it anyone is having any other problems, I would be more than happy to try and help you.

i made something like this today on iphone theme.

EvoShift
Works on the EvoShift from Sprint.
Only issue being the stock HTC Lock Screen still appears once in a while and couple of clicks for the sleep button will take it out but it will show up once again later....there is no way to disable it.
Mine's a non-rooted evoshift.

going to try this out now, just going to install lockbot pro the legal way and then put this honeycomb lockscreen on my desire z

when he says you would need a live wallpaper i think he means a live wallpaper that has a a live clock and the wallpaper...well thats what i think.

Just a slight update... my walkthrough has been spotted and picked up on AndroidNG, and that article is the #1 Google search result when you search for "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen"!!!! This is huge for me, and I'm excited. Squeeeee!
Sorry. That is all.
Note: Again, can't post links because of my low post count, even though my guide has helped a lot of people, and has been proven to be useful for those that want the Honeycomb Lockscreen without rooting their phones... strange world we live in. Just Google "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen" and click the first link. I am "Method I".
Edit: Yes, the live wallpaper of the clock is only necessary if you want the Honeycomb font for the clock itself. If you don't care about the font, you don't need it. As of right now, I don't think there's a Honeycomb clock live wallpaper, but I don't know enough to make one. Wish I did. As for the issues with the app itself: yes, there are some bugs, and it occasionally hiccups and shows you the stock lockscreen. This is just the nature of the beast when it comes to this app. Bugs happen, but this is the closest we can get to perfect for now.
Thanks again for reading and trying this method out, I appreciate all the great responses!

would love to try.. but it seems a little daunting.. scared me off for now

It really isn't. Basically: download the zip, put the images you want on your phone, download LockBot and place the images and parts as you want. Easy enough.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just so I'm sure I've done everything correctly: when the phone first boots, I see the default (system) lock screen, not the LockBot version. Is there any way around that?
Other than this one (relatively minor) issue, it's fantastic - thank you very much!

Unfortunately, Google has set a five second lock out for apps once a button is hit and the device being turned on. In those five seconds, nothing can be run. Some security measure our something, I don't pretend to know what it means, but it is supposedly there. That is, scouring to the developer, the reason for it. The solution: give your phone five seconds after hitting a button and turning the phone on again. Good luck!

Wow! Thanks... it really works for my Motorola Milestone.

Hey guys, I just wanted to do a quick update.
First off, thank you all for the major success of this guide! It has been so much fun watching youtube videos featuring my work. I'm just happy that I could make a difference to some of you. Now for the great news...
If you have and old, pirated version of Lockbot Pro or free, get the latest version (1.17.1)!!! This new version comes with a legit honeycomb lockscreen. It looks beautiful! Even if you don't have the app legally, you need to. Donating money to the creater of this app is worth it. I'm trying to get in contact with him, but so far no luck in getting even more features. Maybe he is just working on it. I giggly recommend getting lockbot pro now, as it is so worth it. Just trust me.
I also once again want to make clear: I only created the images in the zip file (except the background, but the circle is me ); I did not create the app. I cannot say enough about how good the developer is, though. Buy the pro version! I will post screens later.

[Q] Help finding old/lost HTC wallpaper

Trying to find an old (perhaps lost) wallpaper. It was installed on my HTC Desire S with GB 2.3.6 (can't remember carrier, it was used). I have been loading several custom ROMs and have now settled on one, but want to copy my old wallpaper back onto sdcard. I have searched the web for hrs AND also extracted images from several custom ROMs looking for that darn image.
Can anyone help?? It was a simple background with a slight texture to it. The color was a sort of light brown or dark beige. I am rather sure it was in stock gallery or theme(s) when I first used the phone. Was perfect. Not too light or dark with good contrast against icons.
BTW, whenever I load a new background (480x800) from web, the phone crops it and then 'expands' the crop (when applied) causing it to loss resolution (maybe a Go Launcher problem?)
Thanks!

I don't know what the wallpaper is, but the other problem is easy to fix. Simply edit the image beforehand and add a 240x800 space on each side, to give you a 960x800 image.
Some launchers let you select a portrait version of the background, some don't (such as yours it seems).

Found the wallpaper!
Eureka! Found the WP I have been seeking. It is a background that is part of the Hi-Black theme, which is part of Go Launcher EX. now I have extracted it and saved it so I can use it whenever I need it. Note: image attached
Also found out how to fix cropping that Go Launcher was doing to custom WPs. Good, making progress.

Eureka! Found the WP I have been seeking. It is a background that is part of the Hi-Black theme, which is part of Go Launcher EX. now I have extracted it and saved it so I can use it whenever I need it. Note: image attached

Would you mind emailing me a copy of that wallpaper? I was looking for it too but I'm not rooted so extraction will be kind of tough. I'll message you too. THanks!
