Htc Weather Plug

[maclux]

Hi,

I've just bought an Htc Cruise, and wanted to add Luxemburg to the Weather plugin, but without success.
I changed the HH_409_WeatherCities.xml buy adding Luxemburg.

<city name="Luxemburg, LU" loca="EUR|LU|LU003|Luxemburg" land="Luxemburg"/>

First I disabled the htc Home in the Settings.
Softreset.
I changed the hh_409_WeatherCities.xml.
Moved The hh_409_Weathercities.xml to Windows Folder.
I receive the message "Unable to retrieve data for selected city."

The Internet connection is working.
When i'm selecting another city it works.
But with cities i added in the xml file it doesn't work.

As I understand it, the HTC weather plugin actually routes it's requests through HTC themselves, and they only serve certain (ie: the default) cities. Have a look at this thread where the author claims to have found a solution:

Excuse me for my bad English ...

The file HH_409_WeatherCities.xml may be "read-only", "System" or "in ROM" and can not be rewritten?

Look at the following site. I have made a little tool only for a german orbit2, but it may also work with others.

Look at post #61.

First you have to patch the HTCHome.dll, then you can change the xml-file.

I had the same problem myself, but i found that Resco Explorer can overwrite the file ;)

Btw...the patching of the dll really works, and made the weather plugin work for me!

I am having problems editing the file to support my local weather. I have found by reading various post that its a very simple process. But my new WM6.1 ROM on my AT&T Tilt has set the file permissions to "ROM". I have already edited a new copy of the file only to find out its "in ROM" status keeps me from deleting or modifying the file.

I would love to know if I can edit a "in ROM" file.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem, but it was solved patching the DLL after disabling the plug-in and copying the the XML file with the Resco. After that, all runs fine :)

Maybe I am wrong but you spell Luxemburg, but the link is LUXEMBOURG (OU) not (U). In brief you're missing a letter to the word Luxembourg

Just search for HTC Home Customizer - it'll do what you want.

Guys,

Firstly, unfortunately HTC home customiser cannot alter the original HTC home plugin (or i never got it to work :o), you have to unistall the original and use the one downloaded by HHC, which has bugs (mail icon does not open mail but messaging etc etc)

I downloaded the fixed version of HTC home from here, which allows you to input user city via registry or using advanced config. Works for me and you can manually configure to how you wish it to look. Ive attached the diamond style clocks/icons should you wish to use them, thanks to varanusvincent:D
