Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
I've been reading the threads for all the NRG Weather versions trying to find some info on if this works properly on the Samsung Jack. Most posts are from long before the Jack was released.
I found the AppUnlock for the Jack and took the chance to load NRG Weather 3.1. One of the panels loads properly on the Jack, but the forecast does not. Has anyone else tried this app and resolved this?

Did you do anything specific to get both panels working properly? Did your screen look like mine until you selected the HTC NRG profile from options?
It works perfectly on my Jack and I did not have to do anything special. Which version are you trying to load? I used the latest.

Version 3.1 from the post linked above. I don't think I picked the HTC theme though, I believe I had selected NRG when I set it up. Does the theme make a difference depending on your device?
The theme should not make any difference. Wish I could be of more help. When I installed it to my phone it just worked.
I'm probably going to return this phone today anyway, the battery can't even last 8 hours.
Since you have already app unlocked the phone, uninstall the SOTI program. It drains batteries insanely fast. Once you uninstall that, you will get your battery life back.
Secondly, what I had to do for the weather program, was to use CHome Configurator and do two things.
#1) Hide the two non-working panels.
For some reason two panels in CHome Configurator were showing in red as non-working. I forget what they were called.
#2) Change the registry entry CPRFile found in "HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome" from SlidingPanel to CHome.
This is telling it which cpr file to use. It is looking for SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr but the weather program is saving all the changes into CHome_320x240.cpr. What I actually did is I made a new file called SlidingPanelWeather_320x240.cpr and copied CHome into it. Then I changed the registry entry of CPRFile to SlidingPanelWeather and it took care of the rest.

Thanks for the tips! I've removed SOTI and will keep an eye on the battery life now. I was shocked when I couldn't make it more than 7-8 hours without charging.
I kid you not, I am literally 15 minutes from walking out the door this morning and I was starting to get the chargers and the box together to return and get an iPhone. I've been setting my wifes up over the weekend and was impressed. But if I can get this working, I'll stick with it since the guy at the store hooked me up. Price matched Best Buy for $99 and then gave me the $100 mail in rebate for it.
zeke, post up if you get it working with the directions above. I will try it on my wife's Jack tonight as well.

I forgot to load a registry editor when I was at home. I had the NRG installer on my memory card and reloaded it while listening to a boring conference call today.
Layouts used:
1) iPhone Normal Layout (default) - didn't work
2) iPhone Slim Layout
3) Slim Panels Layout
4) Standard Panel Layout
5) HTC Normal Layout
6) HTC Slim Layout
7) NRG Slim Layout - didn't work
8) 6 Day Slim Layout
9) 6 Day Normal Layout (p) - didn't work
Some have stated that the app is working fine without any crazy modifications, I'm wondering what settings they are using.
The Extended Forecast panel works perfectly fine, it's the current conditions (I think that's what it is) that is giving me the red x. How do I hide it via the NRG Options or is that a reg edit that has to be done? Also, does this app add "Settings" entry for the Battery? I never noticed it until now, while it works there is no icon for it. Could it be something so simple as downloading one of those image packs?
I realized - I am using NRG's MiniWeather 1.2. It is, I guess, the one designed specifically for non-touchscreen phones. Let me find the thread that I got it off of. I'll edit this post to add it in.

Which one of the 3 worked for you?
Edit #1: I'm trying the BlackJack version now. Same thing, 1st panel is a red x and battery shows a red x in the settings panel. 2nd panel works wonderfully though. I'll have to try the regular version for any device later, I thought the BlackJack would be a better starting since this was a Samsung Jack.
Edit #2: Downloaded PHM Registry editor and emailed it to myself. So I was able to change the registry entry from SlidingPanel to CHome and everything is showing up now. Text got mighty small, but the layout is very well done! Still get a red X for the battery icon, but that I can live with since the rest is working properly.

I don't use the battery feature on it. I have turned off the Settings panel, just cause I never use it, so I can't help you tweak that any better.
Glad its working for you. I love it. Even better than the weather app that I had originally paid for, and no longer use.

I had Fizz Traveller installed, but with no homescreen plugins for WM6.1 it was worthless to me. This little app is amazing.
If he could package it up so it works with retail devices or makes CHome reg change during install, this could be the most popular weather app in the new MS Application Store I think (when it's officially live).
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:

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.

Hello,
since yesterday I have my Optimus 3D and now I have a few questions to settings or missing things that I dont want to accept
1. The point under "privacy": Back up my data and "Restore data" is missing!?
There is only "factory reset". Can someone tell me why or how I can find this?
2. I have a big problem with the softkeys (with the light of them). When I touch the touchscreen the softkeys dont go on and light. Whe I touch in of the softkeys they go on and light for exactly 5 seconds and then they go out. In the dark this is a horror Can someone tell me where I can set or change this? I know there is the hidden menu - but there i could only find to set the brightness of this buttons...
3. MS Exchange connection does not work, I cannot get a connection to our MS Exchange 2010 with godaddy certificate and the problem is the certificate. The P920 have no option to accept all certificates so the I get always an error. Well done!
With every other smartphone there where never problems. From motorola to nokia over htc... Is there any way to get this work or have someone the same problem?
Thanks a lot for the help and greetings from germany
Felix
Hey,
how can one access that secret menu you were talking about?
I was asking the very same question a few days ago (softkey lightning) and it seems that there is no option to change its duration. I got used to it fast though...
Yesterday i connected to a customers exchange 2010, was actually easier to setup than my gmx account. No missing certificates or other annoyances.
My Files
Got one problem, well annoyance really..on my galaxy there was always a file explorer called My Files, can't seem to find it on the O3D and miss it as it was so easy to use. I may just be a total muppet and it's there under a different name, have tried finding a my files apk that works but no joy. Anyone know a good file explorer? thanks
I'm using ES File Explorer and would recommend it. It's quite comfortable to use.
Ok ta, will give that one a go..
The secret menu is easy to get:
take the launcher pro and the place a shortcut on the homescreen. Scroll down to com.lg.menu or something like that.
Then you can start it from the shortcut on the homescreen.
The problem with the exchange is a big problem^^
This must be a problem of the missing accept of the certificates of the P920.
Of course i tried a hard reset etc...
I can connect to a exchange server without a certificate...
So i think its defenitly a problem with the P920.
Do you have the option to back up your data in the privacy (Google)? This is missing in my P920...!?
Thanks
Touch screen sensitivity
Does anyone feel Touch screen sensitivity is a bit off, or at least in LG launcher. In 3D gallery when you swipe, sometime it skip next photo/video and scroll to the second next instead.
I tried Go Launcher Ex and it is more responsive. But custom launchers always make device slower.

It happens that Polaris Office is in fact a file explorer. The name itself is a perfect misleading one for sure, but then it works fine.

I'm having no problems with the responsiveness whatsoever. I've used Touch Test a number of times and even with ten fingers on the screen it tracks them perfectly from top to bottom. Most little problems have to do with the LG software rather than the screen itself.
I use Launcher Pro Plus as a replacement launcher and it doesn't slow down the device one bit.

ehm... could you explain that in detail? i tried that but i didn't get it... thanks.
So i been using my SG7+ since Dec 6th.. and couldnt be happier... i have had my share of the sleep of death issue and other hickups but i've been ussing the reccomended fixes...
for the sleep of death im using soflocker free and have not seen the issue ever since.
I did not like the jerkiness of the touchwiz launcher and switched to the ADWlauncher EX. that thing is fast... anyways, there were things i did not like for instance, i was not able to get full screen videos... untill i instaled honeybar (Yeii ) had to instal button saviour too.. its a must...
Next i hated that i had puny icons on the home screens and could not figure out how to change them to the high res version icons that touchwiz uses... bumping up the icon size does not change them, they only look larger but blurry...
then i wanted more screen real state so i installed lcd density and then a funny thing happened... when i lowered the density value to 120 it changed the icons to the Hires verison... so i kept playing and found that at 130 it looks fantastic...
it also gave me a new toolbat on top (status bar) that i did not have before...nothing to jump about but i guess it was not showing up because of the screen resolution limit.
im happy now...
peace.
Now just out of curiosity, since you said you adjusted the screen density, does the stock browser still work or does it crash? I've heard of it crashing before when you mess with the screen density?
And I agree the ADWlauncher EX is so much faster than the stock one! My only gripe is I had to lock it to landscape on account it stretches the heck out of stuff.
The stock browser works fine at 132...However i dont use it, i use dophin, ohh I changed the density to 132 and it made some widgets look a lot better...
Yeah i dont like how AWD streaches stuff either, but its a matter of finding the right grid size so that when it does you still have a good looking widget. Im using a 7X7 grid size and it looks great... ill see if i can post some screens.
The only gripe i have is that if the device reebots or i turn it off i have to do the density thing again. No biggie though.
Ok, I've found a few apps that wont work properly with the lower density value... like the Memo app in portrait... I do use this type of app so I changed to Slide notes... for now...
I dont know if there is a Density changer app that can change only for some apps and not all? i might be asking too much.. but oh well i cant have it all.
for now im using 133 for density value, and seems to be the best for me right now.
Guys if you are rooted you can hard code the density into the build.prop
For this I'd say use root explorer open it, navigate to the system folder, mount it a R/W. Then open your build.prop file in text editor.
Find this line, or add it which ever one.
ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx
Make the xxx what ever you want it to be. 132, 133, 120 or whatever. Then save and and reboot. Done. Now the density will stick everytime.
Thus eliminating the need for any sort of density changer app. Unless you just like changing it every time lol.
Sent from my ICS'd themed Galaxy Tab 7+
So you are saying using an app it just applies it and after reboot it goes back? Or is it more broad (across all apps) like gucabe is looking for?
Thanks a lot Antio, i'll give it a try tonite.
Good tip, I've been trying it out at higher levels in an attempt to get the proper notification bar back without usable results, but I never did try moving it down.
At 130; the button bar is a good size now, so that I'm not having to use honeybar (great app!) in a lot of the apps that I'm using. Also, now the notification area can display 3 icon notifications instead of the usual one in portrait (MAJOR BONUS) !!
Nothing abnormal encountered so far, fingers crossed.
I'm loving it
Thanks again!
UPDATE: After playing around now just two things I've noticed: it's actually able to fit four icons into the notification area, and also the "Stretch/Zoom to fill screen" toggle is a little bit not needed and is taking up one of those spots.
I cant never gwt button savior to work. The only button that works is the back button and nothing else.
For example, pressing. The Home button didn't do anything.
I am using Go Launcher, btw.
130 dpi & Contact
So far, I get problem with Contacts & Samsung keypad at 130dpi.
FYI
Well i have not made the ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx density change because im not all happy with some apps that default to a higher resolution screens. for instance the email App in portrait mode i cant see the left side of the page when writing an email. it's like it grew in canvas but more than what it needs to get viewed full screen on the SG7+
The solution is to rotate to landscape and you can see the whole page again... however i like typing in portrait...
Im still in test mode for the rest of the apps... i do preffer this resolution because of the added icons on the status bar... that rocks...
For a keyboard im using an ICS type of keyboard. i like the bigger keys and less keys on screen than the samsung one. works fine, however the previews are wonky while typing...
so again im still at 133 cause i find it to be better.
Messing with the DPI always causes issues somewhere. Its just a thing about finding out what you can, and cannot live with
Totally... I see a lot more advantages than disadvantages so ill stick with the 133dpi. I have added the thumb keyboard and this makes things easier to type in landscape mode, in this mode the samsung email and memo apps works fine.
Everything else is working fine.
120dpi is too tiny for my eyes... 134dpi and above doesnt change ADW launcher to tablet mode with HD icons... but 133 does... so its my personal sweetspot.
Thanks, and i guess ill be trying build.prop change next.
Well just to give you guys an update, i've opted out of the 133dpi... my eyes were hurting due to font being smaller... i know itryed other fonts out there and got better results but it was like trying to make everything bigger again??? then i saw in another thread that the SPB launcher was a good option as a launcher and decided to purchase it...
Im so pleased now that i have dropped the 133dpi resulution for the standard 160. This launcher is so gorgeous.. and has the hd icons in a reduced way that they look just right... My eyes are very happy now...
So now im running SPB 3d launcher + honeybar + button saviour. Every thing looks just fine now.

Make the xxx what ever you want it to be. 132, 133, 120 or whatever. Then save and and reboot. Done. Now the density will stick everytime.
Thus eliminating the need for any sort of density changer app. Unless you just like changing it every time lol.

Guys if you are rooted you can hard code the density into the build.prop
For this I'd say use root explorer open it, navigate to the system folder, mount it a R/W. Then open your build.prop file in text editor.

I'm changed from 160 to 133. I saved it and reboot, but then it stuck at Samsung logo. It doesnt go to the desktop. How do i fix this? Thanks in advance.
Stuck into boot logo? Reflash your ROM without wiping! If you don't know how to, and if you have no rom into your device just go into CWM advanced mount and storage and mount it as external storage. Put your rom into and flash it. You'll have everything back even your DPI
