[MOD][GUIDE] Adding Weather Locations [SENSE][ALL] - Android General

Having done this the other day i feel it needs a guide as i used one for the hermes and another device (Desire i think) This may fix the location showing as united kingdom,plus when its not being very precise.
WORKING ON Sense 3.5/3.6/4.0 all with the same file!!
Big thanks to Pidipadi his post helped me alot on figuring it out.THIS THREAD
You can add as many locations as you like i think.My intention is to delete all but UK and keep adding to it.
Also thanks to whoever the hell it was who figured out how to edit manilla files back when i had a Blackstone and did it to that! Whoever you are thank you!!!

Paste that into the Code table
Find another place in your country to get the following info and copy it into your line..
Timezone,Timezoneid,Country and if it applies..State.UK doesn't need a state its value is null
For the longitude Latitude co ordinates i used http://www.freegeocoder.co.uk/ Once you have those you must add them into your line

Thank a lot.
titan weather uses accuweather (well actually it is accuweather)
the code u need to use can be acquired from www.accuweather.com webpage, but i did the job for u and its "ASI|TH|TH017|BANGKOK" (type in without quotes).
Steps.
1. tap on titan weather
2. tap on menu and select options /setup and then tap ok
3. select zip or location code and then tap ok
4. now type in the code i gave u and tap ok and then exit setup by tapping cancel.
it should work now.
For anyone that has difficulties finding local code, you can read it from the url on www.accuweather.com. Just find your city and in url there will eg. http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&locCode=EUR|CS|YI003|NOVI SAD
You can find more information on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3304751#post3304751 in the first post. You shuld only

sorry I can't tell you the values, but you can find them out by yourself:
Export the whole registry, make the changes you want, export the registry again use total commander or something like that to compare the two files!
Thanks for that, will give it a go.

Camera picture prefix instead of image_###.jpg

XDA-readers,
I had a question about the prefix you can select in the camera settings.
With this I mean, when a picture is saved, the name is image_024.jpg,
but with a prefix it's for example 20091215_14:00.jpg.
I read that the prefix can only be selected if you save you're pictures to you're phone in stead of the storage card? This I find weird.
Is there a tweak or am I missing something?
Because on my P3600 it was possible to use the prefix.

I did see this the other day, when I was digging round in the registry, and I'd be happy to try and find it again for you, but before I do, I'm pretty sure that you can only set a static prefix. For example, it's currently image001, image002, image003 etc.. You can change the word "image" to something else, but you can't make it save the image with a datetime like you've suggested.
Still want me to look? I don't really see the point in changing it, personally.
Reason
Thanks for the time!
The reason was that I got used to is with my HTC P3600. Most of the time I have my pictures sorted by name and not by date. The handy thing about the date-time prefix is that I could keep the pictures sortbed by name, and have the pictures sorted by date-time at the same time. Also, you never have the same name for new pictures, for example if you reset the counter.
So that's the reason, for you to deside if you put more time in this topic.
many thanks,
Timo

Yeah, I understand why you'd want that, and I'd probably switch it on myself, if it were an available option. I suppose the next best thing would be an app that when run would scan your images folder and rename all the files, according to their date/time.
Hmmm.... may be something for me to look at tonight
Possible
If that's possible, it would be the next best thing indeed.
But the possibility to put the 'prefix' option on would be awesome
I still don't understand why it can only be switched on when saving on the phone memory instead of storage card...

I'm very dubious about that. Where did you get that information?
Just tried it, and it's stupid, but true.
-Put storage on phone (instead of card)
-Then go to the 'prefix' setting and you see you can change it to date-time
it's also in the manual, page 244:
----
Prefix. The file name of a newly captured photo or video is set to “IMAG” or “VIDEO” followed by a sequential number, for example: IMAG0001.jpg. You can also choose the current Date or Date & Time as the file name prefix.
Note You cannot change the file name prefix when saving captured photos to a storage card. Captured photos are named using the convention IMAGnnnn.jpg (where ‘nnnn’ is the counter), and are saved to the \DCIM\100MEDIA folder on the storage card.

Yeah, that is stupid.
Luckily, there's a registry hack to enable datetime prefix when you have storage on the card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3036115&postcount=4
Do the registry change and then soft reset. You can then select storage as card and prefix as datetime.
Thanks mate - I've learned something new today, and I'll definitely use it!
Cheers!

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it .That ★ is pretty special.
What you could do as a workaround:
1) keep the symbol somewhere convenient (e-mail, webpage or MS Office document stored on phone)
2) copy-paste it for each site you're trying to log in to.
3) tell Opera to save the username/password
Better than nothing, I guess...

Only after pasting, or is the one you're trying to copy also being displayed like that?
If the original is also displayed as a rectangle, most likely the ★ is not present in any of the default fonts. You could try addin an extra font that contains the character somewhere on your HD2 and using font linking.
I have no idea where to look for a solution if the original ★ is displayed fine, but is just not pasted correctly though.

Just copy font from computer and past it to your windows mobile font folder. It is the same font.

Just copy the file from the font folder in your computer to your device, and then move it to \Windows using Total Commander or Resco.
Another possible solution - try to log in using this as your username:
Code:
[&#9733!]
Replace the exclamation mark (!) with a semicolon (;)

That's the HTML code for the star. I doubt that will work as it won't be decoded from HTML before the login process takes place.
Just one thing that comes to mind - when you copied and pasted it and got the rectangle in the login box, did you actually try to log in? I assume you did, but I only ask because it shouldn't matter whether you have the font or not - you just want the correct character. The font is only for visual purposes, but software will still read the character as exactly what it is, regardless of what it looks like.
thanks nsider, that did work but john now I think about I think I didnt bother trying to paste the square in, oh well, its sorted now ;D
I didint try it but maybe its the solution you are looking for.
1.Install finger keyboard and MyMobiler.
2. Connect your phone to your pc using active sync. My Mobilers should start and you can control your phone from your pc.
3. Open Finger Keyboard's config screen and at the shortcut tab chose one and rename it (lg for example).
4. Copy the star symbol from your pc into My Mobiler, in the value field of the shortcut.
5. Apply the changes to the finger keyboard, disconnect your phone and try using it.
Shortcuts in finger keyboard are activated by a long press of a button.
Let me know if it works.

when I transfer files to my device, does the symbols automatically appear in the default keyboard?

how do I delete words from my user dictionary ?

I have a mis-spelling in there that keeps popping up and it is pissing me off any ideas?
Ha, I've got the same problem! For some reason it has "the" as "thee." You can imagine how problematic that is! I checked through the settings but I couldn't find it. It's probable in the application management section, but I haven't really looked.
I figured I would just do a complete wipe when I got home from vacation and it should delete the whole thing.
Anyone know how to edit the list otherwise?
You will have to delete the cache. Not sure which. Let me look in my phone and see if I can find it. Which will delete all saved words.
*NOTE* THIS WILL DELETE ALL SAVED USER WORDS.
Go to settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Touch Input > Clear data
the only way to do this is to delete the whole dictionary.
If your phone is rooted, it's really easy, its just a button push in Flipz kitchen
Otherwise go to settings>aplications>manage>touch input> clear data. It won't uninstall it, it will just clear your dictionary and clear your keyboard settings (haptic feedback etc.) but its pretty easy to put your settings back
Ironic that you can remove/edit individual entries to the Moment dictionary. Also funny it came preloaded with "Sprint" "Samsung" and "Moment" as custom words.

somebody know where the db is stored? Maybe we could write an app to do it.
I think I found it at /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/udb
It's not a sqlite db, but just looking at the file it does appear to have some words I've saved along with a lot of other words, might be the entire prediction dictionary?
/sdcard/ime/tubd.dat is also supposed to contain words, but I am not seeing it on my card.
is there a way to edit the file ?

I've been looking at it... and it seems like new words are added to the end. I think the only way to delete a word in the middle of the list is to rewrite the file completely but leave that word out. I just haven't had time to play with it.
