Another noob weather question

[TPXX]

I have read all of the post on adding your town to the weather list, and have edited my HH_409 file. I cannot get it back into my windows folder on the phone. The original is marked as read only. Even total commander can't remove it. I cannot overwrite it! How do I replace this file?

Total Commander should be able to overwrite the ROM file. It throws an error message in your face, but should be fine.
The file manager I use is Resco Explorer, it never let me down regarding moving files in/out the \Windows folder.

You know that editing the file isnt enough, right? You'll need a patched HTCHome.dll (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=74763&d=1205009403)... If you're running the original ROM, you might need to install the SDK certificates (http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/SdkCerts.cab)too.

Thanks Schaggo! Is the htc home plug in language independent? I do have the factory ROM and am getting resco explorer, maybe that is my problem, I was just using total commander and the windows mobile file explorer.

Yes it's language independent.
The File Explorer is rather useless, but Total Commander should be able to replace ROM/Systemfiles. But I'm not a 100% sure, I only know Resco does, it throws a warning message but the file gets replaced in the end.

So if you are on the stock ROM, you have to install the SDK certificates, then the patched DLL and before you reset, select/set your custom city. After the needed softreset youll be able to use any city www.accuweather.com (http://www.accuweather.com) lists!
