[Q] Copilot Live Premium - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Copilot Live Premium (aka V9) has just been launched and is half price for a week. (£15 in UK). However they have removed the ability to add POI's. CSV files can be imported I think but not my existing files from V8. If I copy them across they seem to be there but there is no icon even if I copy it to the skins folder with the others. Also can't add individual poi's on the fly if for example you want remember a place.
If anybody knows a work around for the POI issue it would be appreciated as V9 looks good aside from that.
OK Can now import POI's fine however still can't add new ones from device.

HTC Home Weather Plug-in

I installed the Black Shadow version on my 8525 and I love the weather option but my city(San Diego) is not on there and I want to add it. I've searched the forums and tried some things but either I can't figure it out or I'm stupid!
Can someone explain how to add that city to the list? Thanks

something like that
copy it to you PC, edit the file using notepad and add your entry in, than place it back into ppc windows folder
i did that and the city still doesn't show up even after soft reseting. So i copied the file back over and it indeed does have my edited city in there but my ppc doesnt recognize it in the software. Any ideas?

htc weather plug in is completely useless, it's much easier and acurate to look from window or step outside, don't bother, use spb weather instead.

Not having much luck with the HTC plugin either, it reports temperatures and forecasts that are about 4 degrees lower than the actual. My experiences are described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312569
Any Canadian or US users have similar observations? Does the HTC weather plugin work correctly for anybody?
Here's what worked for me:
Use active sync and copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file out of your windows directory to your pc and take off the read only attribute so you can edit it. Open it in notpad and find a city in your country and copy that line to to where your city would be. Then go to http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-list.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 and punch your city in and country in the international lookup box (ex. Grande Prairie, Canada), and you should get a link that ends similar to this:locCode=NAM|CA|AB|GRANDE%20PRAIRIE|&u=1
Now modify the line for your new city so its similar to this: <city name="Grande Prairie, CA" loca="NAM|CA|AB|GRANDE PRAIRIE" land="Canada"/> Then reapply the read only attribute and save back to your mobile device. This worked on my HTC Apache running WM6. Good luck!
Worked fine for me...
I'm using the 8925 (Tilt/Kaiser) and was able to add my city to the XML file, copy it back down, and have the weather display correctly. The instructions are a little confusing given the fact that the "NAM|US|VA|ALEXANDRIA" format you need to display your city will only display for cities outside the US. If you live with the United States, your best bet is to just use some trial and error knowing that NAM = North America and will not change, US = United States, VA = Virginia (for this example) and then you add your city to the end. The complete line entry should look like this in your XML file:
<city name="Alexandria, US" locationcode="NAM|US|VA|ALEXANDRIA" />
in my case, I had to add Charlotte, NC and the line I added looked like this:
<city name="Charlotte, NC" locationcode="NAM|US|NC|CHARLOTTE" />
Hope this helps...
One caveat about this weather thing I discovered. If your city code has spaces in them, you need to replace them with %20. Some of the cities already defined did not use the %20. In order to get salt lake city to work correctly, I had to escape the spaces with %20 and then the weather came up finally.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<locations>
<city name="Salt Lake City, UT" locationcode="NAM|US|UT|SALT%20LAKE%20CITY"/>
</locations>

I was able to cheat and find this code using "forecastfox", a firefox addon. A search for my home town in Canada turned up this:
Edmonton, AB = NAM|CA|AB|EDMONTON|
I did a search for your city (there are many San Diegos apparently) and all that came up was a code, give that a try. Use total commander to modify it right on your phone (http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab - save as txt, not unicode... or which ever keeps the file size close to the same as the original file *cough, make a backup of the xml file first*).
San Diego, CA = 92101
San Diego, TX = 78384
Good luck.
Hello
I install 6-tabs plug in but weather isnt work. Seems that the xml file cant be loaded by the application at all.
How can i fix it?
yes I need it thank you

Am I the ONLY one having trouble changing cities in the Weather app?

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!!!

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
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/htchome-2.1-n2a.cab
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.
http://merkman.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!4355EB455D027302!133/
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-Home​2. 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=1​3. 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.

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.

games into games folder

hi there i've installed some games onto my HD2 (uno, FM, tonyhawks) and want to locate them in the games folder not in the main windows area. can anyone help me do this?
open file explorer. browse to windows/startmenu/programs.....look for ur games shortcuts......cut..... nd paste in windows/startmenu/programs/games. done
You're not done at all.
OK, it will move the shortcut to the correct folder, but the icon won't follow. It's defined in the registry ([HKLM\Security\Shell\Startinfo\Start] then the folder name, then the shortcut name, string value "Icon").
People making CABs should be a bit less lousy and direct shortcuts to the correct folder, same for the acompanying icon.
Actually, some people put icon definitions into several registry keys, so they will "follow" the shortcut if you move it. It's actually a satisfying alternative, if you consider it gives the user the ability to put the shortcut wherever he wants (including copying it to several locations) without losing the icon.
But yes, having shortcuts piling up into the Start Menu's first level, or even worse, placing them into dummy folders with a fixed name (sometimes in a foreign language), is pig work, and I saw even worse (yes, it's possible !) : shortcuts landing to a foreign language "Programs" or even "Start menu" folder, so actually not even displaying in the Start Menu !
When you create (or modify) a CAB file, you should heavily use aliases in order to let Windows Mobile translate them to the actual names during installation.
For instance, if you wanted to direct a shortcut to the "Games" folder, whatever its actual name in your own language is, you should NOT put it into "\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Games" (neither into "%StartMenu_Programs%\Games", though it's still better like that), but you should actually use "%StartMenu_Programs_Games%", which will put the shortcut in the exact correct location.
You can do the same for the program's location itself. For instance, %ProgramFiles_Games% will direct it to the correct folder, according to your system's language, and will even do so, either you choose to install it on the internal memory, or on the SD card.
You can use these aliases inside registry values, too.
Unfortunately, this process may sometimes do it "too much".
It's the case on cooked ROMs, where the author may retain WWE names for some folders and translate others, sometimes using his own syntax. Since the CAB will always translate using the official way, it may still land in an incorrect location...
The ony way to be sure you'll obtain the wanted result, anyway, is to get some CAB editor program and peek inside before copying them to the pocket PC and installing them... And maybe, fix them before using them.
It will be handy each time you'll need to reinstal it, so don't mind inspecting and fixing the CABs you find : it's always better than crashing your system because something wrong or inadequate to your setup was put inside.
One classic case is TouchFlo / Sense tabs, for instance.
Unfortunately, they're all defined inside a unique XML Manila file, so you actually can't just ADD a tab : in fact, this notion does not even exist ; all you can do is overwrite your whole tabs list with another complete one, and pray that you'll end up with the same list, plus the new one... Would you bet your life on that ? I won't.
In real life, you really can NEVER trust a CAB intended to add a tab to your existing setup, as the author most probably don't have the same tabs as you have. In the best case, you'll just loose some tabs (they'll just disappear, even in the tabs list from the settings, and you won't get them back) : the programs and files are still there, but their definition file will have been replaced by the new one. And in the worst case, it will add a definition for a tab whose programs and files are not previously installed on your phone - and you'll crash it once and for all.
That's the reason why now, I never give a tab CAB containing any tabs definitions. I only provide all but the tabs list, and provide separate CABs for all the possible tabs combinations - and you have to choose and use the good one. Or use Maltwater's SenseUtil program to setup your tabs. The good news is my method will setup all the tabs in perfect order as soon as you've soft resetted the device, since my CABs contain the XML file, plus all the registry keys, plus it resets ManiFull.xml.
So, people, whatever I said about good CABs putting the shortcuts where they should... OK, you may be lucky... But the right behaviour should always be to look inside CABs before trying them. You can trust me !
i'm new coming nice to know all

Great looking tool, but sadly it's not working
it doesn't work with the books on the 207rom. all books are in the correct place but don't have author in the filename. not looked at the db your app has created, but does it read the existing one and add missing books or create a new one from scratch ?
have you programmed it against the 205 or 207? I wonder if the db structure is different ?

I know there is a way to add them by editing the database using an SQLite editor. But finding a free one, and then doing it, seems like a bit of a hassle.
If this tool can work for 2.07 ROMs and below, it would be amazing!
you are fast man thank you now i can read my books in portuguse lol
Just a question......works with all versions of Manila?
here's the original and new versions of book.db from mine..
I'm presuming "changed copy" is the original ?
alas I dont have sqleditor here but doing a data compare I can see that there's some slight differences.
maybe it's enough so that it doesnt read them?
great job so far, the speed you got it out is impressive, and it really could become an essential app

Can I create Rmaps from PNG or similar?

I want to use OS maps on my Android device. RMaps seems to be a popular choice for the app but I want to use the 1:25K maps I already have rather than use a tool to download the tiles.
Can I export them from GlobalMapper and get them into a format for RMaps? I've searched extensively and it looks like RMaps wants a SQLite format. I can export from GlobalMapper in various formats including PNG but I can see no way of turning this into something RMaps camn handle.
Any advice on conversion, or a more suitable (free or cheap) app appreciated.
Thanks.
Creating maps for Rmaps
Hi
Rmaps can support a format called 'mnm', as well as SQlite. It does mention this on the rmaps site, but some of it is in russian, so a bit confusing!
(Sorry, I'm also a new user, so can't post links. If you google "welcome to rmaps" you should find the page).
I've outlined the conversion process below:
If you can open your maps in global mapper you should be able to export them as 'geotiff's, which can be converted to mnm maps using a program called 'map nav editor'.
From the rmaps site there is a link to download that program. I downloaded it yesterday fine, but today there seems to be a problem with the other site.
The file I download is "mapnaveditor_59.7z", I googled 'mapnaveditor_59.7z android' and found the same file.
It seems map nav editor only excepts geotiffs with 'mercator' projection. I set this in global mapper before exporting the maps - Tools > configure > Projection tab > projection.
Open the tiff file in map nav editor ('select map to convert') and it should export it as a mnm file and mno file.
The resulting mnm file can then be used with Rmaps, in the same way sqlite maps are used.
The first time the map is used with Rmaps it will be indexed. This took a while on the maps I converted, but afterwards the maps worked fine.
That is how I converted my maps to use with Rmaps. It's not very difficult to do, but I bit of a nuisance when you have a lot of maps to convert. If anyone knows of a better program than Rmaps, I would also be interested.

Hope you can follow what I said - I've only converted a few maps, so I'm not sure if it's the optimum way of doing it.
I have found that it doesn't seem to make any difference assembling the mno and mnm files together, just using the original mnm file seems to work fine. (I've edited my first post).
There doesn't seem to be a clear guide on the rmaps site and I don't know exactly what the two types are for. There are some instructions on the rmaps site for converting a mno file to mnm, but I don't know why this would be necessary.

Thanks for the update, I tried one of my 1:25K maps and it took a while so I left it overnight but the first step certainly worked. I had to abort the mno/mnm merge as I left for work the next working so didn't get to test properly. I intend to have another go this w/e when I have a bit more time.
If it works out I'll try to get the process listed on the rmaps site.
I have had good results using the Globalmapper->Geotiff, Geotiff->SQLLite approach. I have been able to get my 1:25 Memory Maps into Rmaps and the GPS is getting the position on the map just perfect.
The only thing I want to try to improve is the zoom level in Rmaps. On Max zoom I'm still one level of detail away from where I would like to be. I believe I'm using the max levels (6) in Mobile Map Creator but need to have a look at the options to see if it can be improved.
Big thanks again to Aled99 for all the help.
rmaps
hi there sounds like I'm doing a similar thing, I'm using global mapper to create ecw maps then compegps land 7 to converted ecw to rmap, ready to use with twonav, android
note when making ecw in global mapper you can set export to current screen pixel size/zoom as long as your map has original detail.
