Guys,
First of all I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work accomplishing TRUE TETHERING on the G1. It works flawlessly. THANKS!!! You guys are geniuses!!!
I have a question to ask with using tether-1.6.tar
Most of my programs I have that require internet access work all for one stinking video chat program I always use to chat with my family while I'm away on work assignment. It's a program called ISPQ. I can log into the program, and it pulls up the directories with all of the users signed in, and I can send quick messages, but when someone sends me a message the picture field is blank and in the directory when you click on a persons name to see their profile the picture area is blank as well. On their website it shows what ports you need opened for the program to run successfully as I'll post them down below. When I used to Tether with my TMO DASH the program always worked so I'm sure there is a way to get it working using the G1 tethered as well.
Thanks again,
Anthony

as far as i know, i dont think their is a firewall on the phone it should already be opened. I have connected to my sling box which is some random port and it worked sucessfully.

Thanks for your response. Strange when I run the built in network utility in that program it DOES say it's detecting a firewall when there isn't. Probably a quick uninstall/re-install of the program should get it working properly. Everything else other then that single program works great. Streaming live video and audio works flawlessly as well. Amazing how this is true tethering and it blows the doors off of Tetherbot.
The people who got this all going are like god to me.
Yes! I also tether with this method, and it works flawlessly, I get 135KBpps down. And 85KBps up on edge, and on 3G I get around 900KBps down and 240ish up. It's funny though, after running a speedtest, it said my phone was located in kansas when I'm actually in cali, maybe its a ip address location error. But back to your situation, I haven't had any issues with ports on of the programs that required specific ports to function. =)
The location is correct, T-Mobile sends all their info through a proxy in kansas or some place back east, and that is why our speeds are sometimes slow.

Neoobs, Would that be the case in the Philadelphia area as well? I'm asking of this because if Tmo sends all of their info through proxy in this area as well, that's the reason why my videochat program isn't working properly (laptop/G1 Tethered).
Strange is that when I hook up my old Tmo Dash and tether it, ispq works fine but it's terribly slow running on Edge.
3G gets sent to a different proxy but both are sent through proxies.
I know there are some ways around it just not able to get the info right now as I am AFH

I searched and searched with no results. There has to be a way around this. If I can video chat with the Dash Tethered to my lappy, there for sure has to be a way on the G1.
Neoobs,
Any word or source of a way around the 3g proxy/videochat with my post?
Thanks again......
Since TMO's 3g/edge connection goes through a proxy at the main how could I find out what Proxy IP and Port it is? In the program there is an option to log in through proxy so I guess I would need to know what's the proxy address they use for 3G in my area. Anyway I could find out?
It isn't like a software proxy, it is a hardware proxy, there is no info you can put in to get around it really. I will test this and see.
I can't find the info on how to get around it but I know I did because I was running programs (torrents) that were saying I was fully connected and even had someone remote into my PC while I was on it (was a friend) so nothing should be blocking it. BTW I was using openDNS servers maybe that is what helped.

Open DNS Servers? Where would I add the values and what would they be? something like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2?

I'm about to beg you to download ISPQ and set it up (via Wifi Tether) and see exactly what I'm talking about. lol It's actually a pretty cool program and it's a free 21 day trial.
I will download it and get back to you in 24 hours.
Thank you so much!!!!
It all works fine for me, lets me log in and see others. What is the problem exactly?
Thanks for trying it out. I can log in but I can't see the user profile pictures in the directory and also when I receive a qm from someone the picture area is blank. All I can see is the text they sent in the message, not the picture..
Can you run the network diagnostic test in the programs options? Doesn't work here.
Can you see the users in the directories profile pictures and if someone qmed you, you can see their image along with the text?
I can see the users listed in the directories but no pictures of the users and the qms, I can read the text in the qm, just can't see the users image. Funny part of it all is I can successfully video chat in there and I can see the users video while video chatting. Your help with this is very appreciated. You can private me your response if you may.
Thanks again..
Seems that HTC is finally acknowledging Peep's vulnerabilities and while not publicly releasing an update, they will send it out to people who request it...
http://blog.taddong.com/2011/02/vulnerability-in-htc-peep-twitter.html
It's about time they got a fix out for it!
By the way, the Tweet for @xdadevelopers went out saying this was for Android users, instead of Windows Mobile users.
We have published an article regarding this situation on our Portal
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-peep-vulnerability-update/
How did you find the vulnerability, is there a packet analyzing tool for android?
No luck
I just received a response from HTC saying they have no idea what I'm talking about. I just sent them back a response with the linked article. Hopefully someone can get the update from them and post it here so we don't have to deal with them at all.
So is this Windows mobile only, or Android too?

I don't think Android uses Peep in its interface for Sense. I'm not 100% positive on that, but I know we've had an issue with this for WM for about five or six months now.
In trying to get a hold of this update, here are my responses from HTC so far for anyone interested.

I read about the security flaw in the HTC Peep tab back in August and never used it because of this. The Peep application discloses the username and password via a HTTP OAuth-related request during the initial sign in to anyone eavesdropping on the connection. It also exposes the username and password after the connection is established by having all of the requests from the mobile device to the Twitter service use a HTTP Basic authentication header even though the app is supposed to be using OAuth.

Then when will the update be made public? It is kind of a pain that I've waited for six months now to use a feature of this device because of a security issue. Also, how would this be considered rooting since I'm not using an Android device? Windows Mobile users have administrator-like privileges by default in this operating system. There is no such thing as rooting on a Windows Mobile device.

If you re-write the ROM it is considered rooting. If you can add any applications to the SD Card and install it to the device, that is not rooting. We do not have any information on any updates available for your device at this time. I apologize that we do not have any updates for HTC Peep.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but rooting is not the same as flashing a custom ROM. Rooting is gaining root-level administrator privileges on a Linux based operating system. Windows Mobile provides this access to the user by default. There is no other setting for this. Android, being a Linux based distro, does not come with root privileges installed to protect itself from users inadvertently messing around with things they shouldn't. It is the same thing on desktop operating systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, and the like. Rooting is completely different from flashing a custom ROM, as you are suggesting. Either way, an updated Sense tab using HTTPS, as it originally should have done, would be as simple as installing a *.cab file. My question, then, becomes to whom should I address this issue to get further support should I decide to call about it with the information I have?

Yes, you mentioned that. I asked whom I should voice my concerns with since this is the case. I understand that you don't have any information to offer me. I wasn't questioning that. I would simply like to know where I should go from here as there has been a serious security flaw in this device for quite some time. I do not mean to insult you, if I have done so, and apologize if I have, but I want this matter resolved once and for all. Obviously, the users are not allowed to modify the HTC Sense code or this would have been resolved some time ago. If some users were allowed the Peep source code, this could be rectified very quickly with the SenseSDK, but as that isn't an option, I, and several others, look to HTC to provide support for their product and software. If it is simply a problem of my device becoming outdated, then the HTC HD2 (Leo_512, Leo_1024) has the same problem on the latest ROM image as well.

It doesn't look like HTC is playing ball here. I'm going to continue to try to figure this out as I would love to actually be able to use the Twitter tab for a change. I never really used it because of the security flaw that was found.
i contected taddong and they told me
yeah they told me they had no idea what i was talking about....i contacted "tadong" and they told me to sedn the link from there site regarding the issue to HTC and he would handle them if they wanted more info on it...i guess we'll see what happens

Uh... "If you can add any applications to the SD Card and install it to the device, that is not rooting."
Under that logic, if unrevoked forever ever releases a .apk to turn S-OFF, does that imply that merely doing that to get root access isn't rooting?
edit: this is what happens when companies aren't smart enough to release some kind of auto-app updater, separate from OTA updates. Stuff like this takes an eternity. How hard is it to add an "s" to the http of the authentication? (for that matter, why the hell is Twitter letting you log in this way in the first place?)
lol, first thing i thought of when i saw this posts title...
http://my.starstream.net/neobigd/htc_peep.jpg
HTC finally release the Peep security update for the Rhodium, Topaz, Leo, and Photon. I've attached the files to this post, but they can also be had at HTC's website at the link below.
HTC Peep security update
EDIT: These updates do not work with custom ROMs, it seems. The *.exe needs to be copied to your device and run from there. I'm working on extracting them and making proper *.cabs now.
Peep Update *.cabs
EDIT: DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS FIX. IT DOES NOT WORK.
Please do not PM me about this security fix. It has nothing to do with the current Twitter outage as of the beginning of May 2011.
After pulling them apart and recompiling them, with the help of JVH3, here are the HTC Peep Update *.cabs. These are for Windows Mobile users with version 6.5 or higher. It should work, in theory with version 6.1, but I didn't feel like testing it out. Obviously, you'll need Sense 2.5 as well. There are four versions, but they all seem to be exactly the same. I didn't notice any differences other than the dates they were packaged. The Rhodium version seemed to have a slightly smaller TwitterApp.exe file, but I still don't think it was different.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anything you do to your devices. These are posted for informational purposes. If you choose to install the application update, then any side effects (of which there should not be) are on you.
Changes
This update changes the way the Twitter Tab (HTC Peep) authenticates your user account. Before this update, your account information is sent via unencrypted http headers upon login which reveal both the username and password to anyone who happens to be eavesdropping on the connection, whether it is by cellular data or wifi as seen below.
Code:
authenticity_token=c8b5abaf53f223e827d9258ddfef4285a816db5f&
oauth_token=I4FK956n1foaHjayLKXJT2IaBpsmoo0amKyPhebc&
session%5B[B]username_or_email%5D=USERNAME&session%5Bpassword%5D=PASSWORD[/B]
Also, when sending tweets or receiving them, their is a continuous authenticate request sent which exposes the username and password again as illustrated below.
Code:
GET /statuses/friends_timeline.json?count=50&page=1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/xml, application/xml;q=0.9, */*;q=0
[B]Authorization: Basic BASE64("USERNAME:PASSWORD")[/B]
User-Agent: TwitterEngine
Host: twitter.com
I haven't been able to confirm the status of the current update yet with traffic monitoring, but according to HTC, this update sets the Peep application to use OAuth to establish a connection with https to encrypt the username and password instead of leaving it exposed for all the world to see.
EDIT: This is not a 100% fix. It seems that while the initial session is now being sent over https using TCP port 443 (sending against the api.twitter.com domain), during the rest of the session, Peep switches back to HTTP basic. This still leaves the whole session after the initial login vulnerable to hijacking based on the Twitter's session ID through cookies. I suggest using a different Twitter client, as neither HTC nor Twitter care for our aging devices.
EDIT: DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS FIX. IT DOES NOT WORK.

What relevance does your post have to anything related to this thread?
Nothing about this thread has anything to do with installling an os or anything to your sd card.
It is about the twitter tab security flaw and the recent patch by HTC.
A patch could only be installed to the device, since patches need to replace files on the device.

Please try to keep up.
This fix has nothing to do with login errors.
This fixes a security vulnerablity.
Without the fix, user name and password are sent in plain text through http.
With the fix, oauth is used instead, so each request does not send this information. And when it initially is sent to authenticate, https is used.
The twitter tab works for just about everybody. And the fact that no one else is reporting problems since applying the fix indicates that the fix does not have a problem.
Things to check:
Do you have a twitter acount?
Are you entering your twitter user name and password correctly?
Is your twitter account locked by twitter? (try using it with your computer)
Do you have a data plan?
Do you have a strong cell signal with Edge or 3G service?
Have you tried soft resetting your device?
Are you in the UK?
If not, does the country you are in block access to twitter?
Can you browse web pages with your phone?

As I previously said, this thread is dedicated to the HTC Security Patch for the twitter tab.
I suggest either looking for a thread dedicated to the twitter tab not working or creating your own thread in the question and answer section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456
This thread is not the appropriate place for your question.
My HTC Peep stopped working on my Rhodium after installing this update. Peep worked right up until I installed the HTTPS Fix.
Verizon TP2, using the Custom ROM --> Verizon MR2 Fixed by Mr. X
(ROM Found here)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-...zon-mr2-fixed-mr-x-boots-unlocked-device.html
I see the "Tap Here to Authenticate" Screen
I type in Username/Password (which works when logging into the website)
HTC Peep tries to log in, but I get an error --> "You entered an incorrect username or password."
I cleaned out the Temp folder to try and get a fresh start, but no luck.
I tried to uninstall, but I am unable to uninstall properly.
I tried to Re-install, but no luck.
I shut down Sense, re-installed, and rebooted and turned on Sense, no luck.
So, minus doing a brand new ROM flash it looks like this .CAB tanked the Twitter tab for me. I didn't really want to keep using it unsecured, but it sucks that the update stopped it from working altogether.
This thread is to track my dealing with HTC and their service department over the current Twitter Tab (HTC Peep) outage. Please don't PM me about it, I'll just make fun of you for not reading and searching.
The current outage has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the Peep security updates published back in February. For information on the past update, please refer to this post.
I am reaching out to everyone who uses this application to bug the crap out of HTC until they fix this problem. Please read this post all the way through so you can contact them with a bit of information. I originally tried to ask about it as simply as possible, but only got an idiotic response. The communication log will be posted in the next post.
Basically, for anyone experiencing issues with Peep, simply read the post I linked to and the following post. This will give you enough information to be able to contact HTC and make some noise. If you do contact them, please use proper grammar and be respectful. Typing like a pissed off high school girl (no offense to pissed off high school girls) will get us no where.
A brief history of Peep outagesSince the very beginning of HTC Sense, most experienced users have known about Peep's security flaws and have either decided to live with it, figuring that it wasn't very important to them, or simply used another client for Twitter. The problem is that Peep was accessing the Twitter API through use of unencrypted HTTP headers which exposed your username and password to anyone who might be eavesdropping on the connection via cellular data IP or WiFi.
Twitter experienced some headlines last summer where several celebrity and high profile accounts were compromised due to lax security features. This caused them to begin shifting their API towards a more secure end. In doing this, they notified the developers of Twitter clients of this shift and to update their applications accordingly. HTC was one of the few who did not update their applications.
Late last year, HTC's Peep application experienced some outages. HTC, instead of repairing the problem, petitioned Twitter about the outage and, after several weeks, the functionality of Peep was restored through an exception made in Twitter's API. This was the easiest solution for HTC, but the worst solution for the customers, since it still left the user's data exposed to risk and was only a temporary solution.
Then, sometime in late January/early February, the members of Tadong blog released their security information to the general public after trying for months to get HTC to fix the security flaw in Peep as outlined above. Subsequent to the release of the information, HTC finally release the security updates for Peep that corrected half of the problem. The initial log in attempt now used OAuth to establish a secure connection over HTTPS on TCP port 443. This fixed the update Twitter rolled out shortly after where some users got the "Forbidden" errors when trying to use the tab. It did not fix the remainder of the session where Peep would request data from Twitter. The rest of the time, Peep requested data over unencrypted HTTP basic headers just as it always had. This, as most of you know, caused problems with the most recent update to Twitter's API.
Twitter rolled out an update again at the end of April that broke the Peep client again. The problem wasn't really Twitter, though. Twitter has now disallowed any new requests to access it through unencrypted channels. This, of course, blocks Peep again. The sad thing now is that this would not be a problem if HTC had simply fixed the problem last year during the first outage or even produced a secure client in the first place.
This brings us to the present. I have contacted HTC with all the information I could gather about this problem. The conversation is listed in the next post. I encourage everyone reading this to learn a bit here and contact HTC via their support page. Any serial number should work as long in the contact form as it matches the correct device. The only Rhodiums to receive the Sense update were the Euro and AT&T ones, as far as I know. Leos ship with it, and I'm sure there were other devices that got Sense updates as well, such as the Photon and Topaz. I'm not up to speed on the models of those devices that got Sense, though. If you contact them, please post in here your conversations. If you need help crafting a proper response to the HTC support techs, please PM me. I will try to assist as best I can.

After searching around for a while, it appears that I am not the only one to have this problem. I also have the HTC Peep security update installed on both of the devices, but it does not work with or without that fix.

understand you are unable to log in to Twitter even with the Peep security update. The link you need to download the update for is different for your two devices.
Use this first link for your Touch Pro 2:

And this link for your HD2:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1086&news_id=865
If this does not work you may need to restore your devices to factory settings and re-apply the appropriate hotfix after backing up your information, for example with ActiveSync or the Windows Mobile Device Center to sync your information with Outlook.
Sync software is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/65-downloads.aspx
You can back up your information using ActiveSync or the Windows Mobile Device Center located at the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/65-downloads.aspx
Essentially, plug your phone into the PC after installing the software and select Activesync as your connection type. Your computer will walk you through backing up your data.
A factory data reset will clear all data from the phone's internal memory and restore the device to manufacturer defaults. Information on your storage card will be kept. To reset the phone press start>settings>(menu>all settings)>system>clear data and confirm.

I just mentioned that I installed the security update already, and the response I got was to install the security update? What kind of answer is that? Even if the line of thinking was that I perhaps installed the wrong update, how would that even be possible considering the updates require the installation to pass software version checks before installing? I was trying to make this as simple as possible, but considering the response I received, it is apparent I will be unable to do this.
The problem is that the Peep Security Update did not fix the problem all the way. Originally, the Twitter account information was sent via unencrypted http headers upon login which reveal both the username and password to anyone who happens to be eavesdropping on the connection, whether it is by cellular data or wifi. Also, when sending tweets or receiving them, their is a continuous authenticate request sent which exposes the username and password again in the same manner.
The security update is not a 100% fix. After installing the update, it seems that while the initial session is now being sent over https using TCP port 443 (sending against the api.twitter.com domain), during the rest of the session, Peep switches back to HTTP basic. This still leaves the whole session after the initial login vulnerable to hijacking based on the Twitter's session ID through cookies. Because this was not fixed properly in the first place, Twitter has blocked the application from accessing its api. Twitter has increased its security measures and disallowed new authenticate requests from unsecured clients. So any device that is currently authenticated in Peep will not be affected, but once the user logs out of Twitter, does a hard reset, or a ROM upgrade, the Oauth token will be invalidated or removed and will not allow Peep to log back in.
This is the position I am currently in, along with hundreds other users. It affects every user on HTC Sense as it will break the Peep client as soon as they log out. Since these devices are still being sold as brand new, HTC should still be providing support for them, since it is the HTC software that is not functioning as intended. Now, what is HTC prepared to do for every single Sense user? All that needs to be done is to FINALLY secure the Peep client and force it to use HTTPS instead of basic HTTP. The Twitter api will refuse all new auth requests that are unencrypted.
I have attached an eavesdrop of the timeline update request that is sent when the client refreshes. Notice that the username and password are UNENCRYPTED and shown in plain text. One more time I will ask what HTC is prepared to do to solve this problem. Please don't give me a cookie cutter response again. Thank you for your time.

Anytime you log out or clear the Peep auth token in any way, it will not allow any further logins due to the (lack of) security of Peep. The only way around this currently is to back up the registry data associated with the Peep client in [HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager] as well as the entire folder [\Temp\TwitEng]. If these are imported into a new flash of a ROM update or after a hard reset, the client will function again, as no new initial auth request will be needed. This still does not fix the problem of the client exposing usernames and passwords during EVERY update attempt. Nor does it allow less savvy users to use the Tab after having to hard reset or update the ROM.
The Tilt 2 is running ROM version 2.10.502.4.
The HD2 is running ROM version 3.14.531.1.

This is great news. I'm having trouble seeing that I'm the first person to bring this to HTC's attention, though, seeing as this has been an issue for right about a month now. I figured someone else would have reported the problem before me. Please do keep me informed as this progresses. It should be as simple as forcing Peep to use secure HTTPS over TCP port 443 during the session as it does during the login procedure that was updated in February. Currently, it uses OAuth over HTTPS to establish the initial login, but switches back to HTTP basic for the remainder of the session. This allows the username and password to be seen in plain text every time the application requests an update from the Twitter API. Using this method also has another side effect. Twitter updated its security measures to disallow unencrypted requests. This means that Peep is no longer able to establish a connection since it moves from OAuth over HTTPS to HTTP basic during the initial session. If I can be of any other assistance, please let me know. I look forward to updates in this matter.

Retain Twitter Tab/Peep functionality through a flash or hard reset
Before you ask, I don't have first hand experience with this. This is based on successful attempts by other members of the community.
This only works if the Twitter Tab/Peep currently still work for you. If it doesn't, then you are out of luck, and this will not work for you.
To retain the functionality of the Peep client through a flash of a new ROM or a hard reset, you will need to follow the steps listed below.
1. Stop Sense and soft reset to make sure that Sense doesn't continue altering information while you are backing up data.
2. Back up the entire key of "HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager." You really only need the Twitter strings, but it's easier to just back up the whole thing.
3. Backup the entire folder of \Temp\TwitEng. This is where the Twitter authentication token is stored.
4. Flash the new ROM or hard reset, whichever you need to do.
5. Once the new ROM is stable and working, stop Sense and soft reset.
6. Restore the registry key and backed up directory.
7. Soft reset and then enable Sense. The Twitter tab should now continue working for you without any trouble.
EDIT: JVH3 made a pair of posts about this HERE and HERE. The second one talks about authenticating another device with the backed up data.
Great initiative ! I'm very curious to hear about HTC's reception of the issue, and see if they will take the initiative to fix it...or imagine a way to justify how not doing it

Please use this thread to contact HTC about the problem. Please don't link them to this thread, though. I started this with the intention that others would use the information I have gathered on the issue to contact HTC in an informed manner to get it resolved.
Basically, the more noise is made on this issue, the better chance there will be to have it fixed.
HOLY $ |-| 1 +, it worked!
Ok, so I received official word that Peep is being looked into by HTC. I would still encourage anyone reading this to contact them with the information I have provided here. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say.

Well, I already knew the key and file that needed to back up, but I forgot where I saw the bit about turning on and off Sense. Thanks. I'll add some credit for you.
Yea, there's a bit more that I can't post due to personal or sensitive information, but it's looking good so far. I'll keep updating this as more info rolls in. I'm hoping that other people contact them about it as well.

The only devices that will get the fix are the ones that have official Sense 2.5 ROMs. There are only four of them.
1. Leo
2. Rhodium
3. Photon
4. Topaz
My recent communications with HTC contain personal information regarding the fix. It is being worked on, but there is no current ETA that they have provided. I am keeping in touch with them and working with HTC to resolve the problem. I'll update this thread as more information is provided to me.
EDIT: Please don't post here about possible fixes. There is no fix for this error. The problem is with Peep and has nothing to do with Twitter. Logging in and out of Twitter on the desktop will have no bearing on the Peep application. No applications are allowed to access Twitter's API though unsecured connections, thus Peep is excluded.
My Twitter also stopped working sometime last week, but I don't ever remember logging out. However when I scrolled past the peep tab on my HD2 this morning it read "no tweets" instead of the click to login screen (or whatever it said). I clicked the screen and now have tweets going back to sometime yesterday. Is this any way connected?

This is unrelated if you did not log out, as far as we know. Twitter isn't yet blocking anyone from their API who already has a connection. They are only refusing new attempts.
HTC knows the problem, is working on it, but still no ETA
Just to add my story:

I have flashed this rom: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=314&cat=2&dl_id=980
And updated it with this update: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=314&cat=0&dl_id=1085
When I enter my account and password, HTC Peep tells me: "You entered an incorrect username or password".
The account and password are OK, since I can use them via the web and other Twitter-applications.
I tried revoking HTC Peep as a Twitter-application and then re-adding HTC Peep.
But the message is still "You entered an incorrect username or password".
From an old backup I have retrieved registry settings at HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager and the directory at \Temp\TwitEng.
After putting these settings back into the new rom I get a message: "The account was forbidden to access the twitter server!"
This is logically because I revoked HTC Peep as a Twitter-application at the Twitter website.
So, the HTC Peep client does not recreate the connection to Twitter.
Please provide a solution or update so that the HTC Peep client will work again.

Unfortunately I have no ETA for when this might be.
Until then I can only recommend using another Twitter client.
I hope this helps.

It's good to hear someone else's experience. I will ry to get back in touch with the HTC rep I've been communicating with this evening or tomorrow to see if there are any updates.
Hi all,
As a practice project for Android developing I created an app that enables you to add custom locations to the sense weather application. I think some of you noticed that the weather app supports adding only a few cities, mostly the larger cities of a particular state/province. This is because the htc app makes use of a static database that has only around 3600 locations world-wide. This app can add almost any city to that database.
This could be done already, but the method was quite time-consuming and error-prone.
With this app, you just have to search for your city, optionally edit the pre-filled fields for name, state and country and you can add it to the htc weather database. The correct weather code is obtained from the web, for both US and non-US cities. The correct timezone is selected from the database, sometimes you have a choice there as well. Also, the weather application of htc is restarted after adding, so the change is immediately visible.
The app needs root access and an internet connection to work, and you should have htc sense with the weather app installed. I tested it only on Sensation (with sense 3.6) but it should work for sense 2.x up on any htc device.
Enjoy!
-Gödel
Update (19-4-13): New version. It should work on most ROMs now, it doesn't rely on the command line that much.
Update (31-7-12): New version. It checks the hostfile now, and removes the accuweather host from it if necessary. Works great with AdFree and AdAway. Also, to better work with the clock application in sense 4, the geographic position of a city is added to the database. It will search for the coordinates automatically, but you can also manually add them. Enjoy!
Update (16-7-12): Problem occurs on devices having an addblocker that changes the host file (/etc/hosts) installed, like AdAway or AdFree. They add the line "127.0.0.1 netweather.accuweather.com" to /etc/hosts, removing that line or changing back to stock host file solves the issue. See this post for more details.
Update: There seems to be a problem with the server the app connects to, it is not accessible from some (many?) countries or phones. I haven't found a solution yet.
Please try this link with your internet connection (so wifi or mobile), if you get a xml file back, this app should work. If it doesn't, but you can access the site above, please let me know.
Please let me know if it works as well, as well as your country, so I can try to figure out what's going on.
Update (7-7-12): You now have the possibility to manually add a city through its location code.

Dont work
Installed on my Sensation running PkMn 4.5 ROM.
SuperSU never registrate the app, so i set SuperSU promt to "Grant".
Searched for my city here in Denmark "Klarup" but it didn't find anything. I then searched for "Copenhagen" but it didn't finde that either.
Turned WiFi on but the app dont finde any city at all :-(
I install the app but it cant find any city.
I have root access and I also make a restart. Is something more that I have to do?
I can find and add Klarup, Denmark with the app. You got to have a working internet connection to search for cities.
To both jkolner and l_themis, does it say "no location found" or does it say nothing at all?

Same for me, "No location found" with open wifi
It seems like it just does not make the connection it should.
When I have time, I'll add more connection error handling to distinguish between not finding a city and a connection problem.
That doesn't solve the problem though, its weird. Can you verify that under app-info in your system settings, this app has full internet access?
It has full internet access and Wifi is connected.
Please try the new version, included in the OP. I simplified the search part a bit using a different http request, maybe it works in this way.
I will try to make some more improvements sometime soon, this was what I could do right now.
Didn't work with the new one either.
It seems like an encoding issue, I forgot to encode the location properly in the new version and got the errors myself. I updated the application once again.
However, this will probably fix nothing for you guys, I will look at it in more detail sometime soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No problem my friend, take your time. For me is something very useful so it will be perfect if it finally works!
This looks good. Is there anyway to get the sense weather lock screen to change from current to a different city?
Tried new version can not find any cities.even London, bristol, paris

Still not working mate. Now it shows me connection error and ask me do you have internet connection? I don't think it will work.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
It has worked perfectly here though, up to now (even tried it on a desire HD yesterday). Is this site accessable from your place?
I also get network error (israel)
I cant access the site you gave above
Well, so much for a solution then. Apparently the site above is not accessable for some countries. The search for cities uses it.
So at least it works in the Netherlands, and I think it will work in the US as well.
I still find it rather strange, it must be some legal issue.
In any case, I could not foresee this problem.
A solution would be to setup a forward portal, but that's a little much. I'll try to look for some trick to access that site.

UPDATE: I having been not able to fix it also I found out very weird is when you get in Gmail (apps) and you'll notice that some area is black too... I think it's run with that browser... That made me feel sad and feel like new ROM isn't worth to me... But I'll try my best to stay with it

Almost all 4.4 Custom roms of older devices has Black boxes problems, this bug is a breakage in the new chromium based webkit and is in any app that makes use of it. The chrome browser works fine as a replacement. You need to modify the rom to fix this but i don't recommend this, you should wait till the developer fix it.
