Weather for CHome... Take 2!

[pudgedaddy]

posted earlier above....
I was inspired by Outerdepth's change he made by adding Low(temp)|High(temp) in todays temp , so i also changed it to read that. I knew that you couldnt spell out the whole words low|high in the tomorrow forecats line,
but i still wanted something like that. I modified the .mscr to look like:
Tomorrow Lo(Temp)|Hi(Temp) (Time) (AM|PM). but it kept cutting off the (AM|PM) so i tried modding the .cpr file and moving over the text to the left and even making the width larger, but it still would never show. Is there any way you can get it to do this without removing (AM|PM) ? I think you could make it work if you scooted the time a little closer to the temperature.

so i'd like to see that change (ex: in the header, read: Dallas, TX Low 60°|High 82°) and (ex: in the field text on the tomorrow line, i'd like it to read: Tomorrow Lo 65°|Hi 82° 6:52 PM )

[Mikey]

Quick question (wondering)
If i change the time interval to lets say "10"
shouldnt it update every 10 minutes?
although the time doesn't change on the panel or no vibes.
Is it set to only 60 minutes even if we change it?

Or how about moving the time to todays forecast? giving you more room for your high/low

[Mikey]

adding pages for a furture forcast would be great too

He has tried, no can do. Yet!

[Reeg]

Works great so far O! The test will be overnight. Every morning I've woken up to an Error screen.

[Mikey]

Daddy,
Did you get my PM?

[NRGZ28]

I will implement all these changes today. Thanks for the suggestions!

To answer Mikey's question about the update interval... If you change it now, it has to wait for an hour before it starts updating every 10 minutes. The wait the logic works now is it waits for 60 minutes, then updates. If you make a change inside those 60 minutes, it will wait the remainder of the original interval, before it will update at the new specified interval.

[pudgedaddy]

Daddy,
Did you get my PM?

yes i did! glad it worked

[Mikey]

Thank you for that answer :)
Also, can i for my own. Change it from yahoo weather to weather.com?
I hate yahoo services. lol It lags at times. Specially with their homepage sports scores. (can be 2 hours later and shows the game, still in progress)

Let me know. I figure you cant go wrong with a site dedicated to weather.

[NRGZ28]

Yahoo DOES use weather.com to pull the information from :p

Anyway, looking into the 24 hour time request... It's possible, but we would have to resort to a display of the last update the phone did. Right now it display the last update time on Yahoo's servers. Unfortunately they only provide the time in am/pm format and for me to format it to military time would be a huge pain, that's not worth it, IMO :)

I could make it an option where you can have the last update time display from Yahoo's servers in AM/PM or from the phone in military or am/pm format. Does that sound good ?

yea, personally i'd prefer the time the phone last updated. as opposed to yahoo time... but i still like am\pm vs. military , so also make that an option

edit: also to respond to your answer that mikey asked regarding weather.com..... although they pull from weather.com, there definitely is some lag on when their (yahoo's) weather info is updated. So if you go right to the "horses mouth" ( if possible) you'd get a closer to the minute current weather reading.

[Mikey]

so also make that an option
WOOOHHOOOO Daddy is getting demanding. :D :rolleyes:

Good point. I'll look into that... Although I would have to rewrite the whole update routine. :)

How about RSSweather.com ?

[pudgedaddy]

dont know about them... are they more updated? i'd really like to go back to the 15 to 30 minute update interval, so if they update it that often that'd be great, but if they don't, its a moot point

[Mikey]

DID HE CALL ME A HORSE!!!!!:mad:

Hey Pudge... I think Tech is in love with you man. That's... umm.. scary... :eek::p

Yeah, I like up to date info as well. Let me look into it and see how often they update...

Edit: They update every hour as well. Bummer...

[Mikey]

here is another site to look into
WEATHER.GOV

thanks for the answer it seems as if hes ignoring my posts

not ignoring. If i know and i answer prior to him reading it. why should he answer as well. ;)

Don't take it personally. Just continue to build YOUR knowledge base as you read these forums. If you have to get your answers from some other source, then so be it! I doubt that he's ignoring you, as Mikey said, but if you can't get your answers one way--try another. Have you tried PMing him? He may give you the answers you need that way.

[NRGZ28]

Syntaxx is right, I'm not ignoring you man. I just overlooked your posts. I mean.. look at the size of this thread. The post count per minute is too high for me to keep up with the every single post. Best way to contact me is through Yahoo or PM! That said... what can I answer for you that I hasnt been answered before ?

thanx for the reply, but i think ive answered a lot of my own ques....the main reason for asking first is so i dont have to mess up my phone playing around wih things especially if im not too familiar messing around with mscr files and such...but thanks anyway...ill continue to ask and learn

[qwikndrty]

I've tried many different ways to get it to work but no success.
When I initially install it and reboot my theme is half blue half green and the weather panel is stuck at 25%.
When I try to change the home screen to either of the "Sliding Panel + Weather" or "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather" I get this blank home screen now. And it remains blank (no other home screens work either) until I uninstall your program.

The only weather program that works is your older one... :(

Screen shot attached...

[NRGZ28]

New layout options... What do you guys think about this ?

The background of the panel changes according to the current weather condition. The background is a little streched out right now, but it's just in the testing phase... :D

Three layout options so far.. White text, city name aligned to the left. White/Black text city name centered at the top. Maybe we can even bold the text. I can fade out the background even more to make the text more readable as well.

[gottifour]

That looks great...

[NRGZ28]

Oh.. there's a CRAPLOAD of weather icons options coming (as in.. different icon PNGs)... I think I'll start a new thread so I can have more room to upload stuff in the first 3 or 4 posts. This one.. just like the old one.. is getting a little too large.

I had this problem in the early versions too. Have you tried rebooting after the blank screen came up? Also, have you installed the weather update.cab that Org posted yesterday? I know that fixed my "Forecast...25%" issue. The update.cab is located in post #447 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391147&page=45).

genious...sheer genious...looks awesome!

[NRGZ28]

Alright, I need to clear up a few things. the version posted in the first post of this thread works fine. no need to install the update.cab mentioned by syntaxx. in fact i will remove it shortly. second.... i was under the impression that its a known issue that the current version of chome weather will not allow homescreen chages o any kind without having to reboot. if you want to make changes... change whatever you need to change... then reboot. i will continue developing the older version that used the welcomecenter style plugin, but its not a top priority right now.

love the layouts man! way to think outside the box! still want to see low|high or lo|hi before the temps though.

Yes. If I reboot my homescreen is green with blue panels and if I try to change the homescreen to anything, the screen ends up blank again. And, the weather panel is stuck on 25% (right after a reboot). Then round and round I go again (reboot yada yada). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no change. The weather I'm installing is the one from TODAY.

[NRGZ28]

but the million dollar question is... are you manually updating the weather after you reboot or are you expecting it to do it for you automatically ?

[showaco]

Org, what about a panel changer to change between current and forecast panel(using your layouts as the panels and just updating the layout showing from homescreen without having to open options and updating again. I made a panel.mscr using your current layouts to change between and made it look like this. By the way, I like the first screen shot you posted with white text.

[Rip Syntaxx]

That was about to be my next question...

[qwikndrty]

but the million dollar question is... are you manually updating the weather after you reboot or are you expecting it to do it for you automatically ?

I've tried both. I've rebooted after a clean install and waited for it to do its thing. Also, after a clean install I've clicked your program "Weather Options" and set it to auto update in 45. I've even tried to tell it "N" for try to connect first and I've tried "Y". Nothing seems to work. I've probably installed and uninstalled it 8 times each trying something new.

[qwikndrty]

After a reboot (but before I selected weather to get a connection first) now just hangs at "Starting...10%" but as you can see in the upper right its not grabbing a connection. ...and you can clearly see the blue panels onto of green (how annoying) ...lol

Just trying to cover all bases here... So you manually went to 'Weather Update' in the Start menu?

[qwikndrty]

Well, I tried that too but not at first (either way nothing works) BUT first I selected "Weather Options"...typed in my zip and "Y" for internet (initially) then rebooted. Then I get to 25% and I can see it attempts an internet connection. But still it doesn't complete.

[djquick]

I had the same problem, i'll wait til a final version comes out.

[NRGZ28]

The blue panels display because you installed my WM7 theme. Take that off and it should return back to normal.

As far as updating... it's probably because there's a problem with your internet connection. Can you go www.yahoo.com on your phone using IE ??

[NRGZ28]

I had the same problem, i'll wait til a final version comes out.

There wont be a "final" version.... It's already, finalized. :rolleyes:

[xfaith]

So if I have another program that does updates to the homescreen it will lock it out? Am I understanding this correct?

I am not sure which program is causing the blank screen like the other user. But it happens every once in a while, I guess I should check when it happens.

[Profezza]

v1.7: I would hardly call this a bug, but I am running the slim version at the moment, and I notice that the weatherpanel, when not selected, doesn't "dim out" like the others. Otherwise, it seems to be updating perfectly, at last, and looks fantastic. I think I will edit out the location name in the unselected mode myself, some... day...

[qwikndrty]

Just a thought...

I like having "NRG WM7 Chome" theme installed because of the thin panels but maybe its conflicting with this newer Weather program? I have been installing the thin one. hmm... maybe I should uninstall NRG WM7 theme then Thin Weather À la carte ?

Thats funny..he said final version

anyway, yes I can go to any and all website via EDGE ($5.99 tzones deal). ...the weird thing is, your older version (the cab file that does NOT say "test" at the end) works beautify with your WM7 theme. But I do like your newest color (thin panel) theme better :-) ...do you have it for me :D

[Reeg]

Why is it everytime I install the Weather Plugin, I get the LCD Clock even if I uninstall the LCD Clock Mod? All I want is SlimChome with the more transparent panels, weather, and the NORMAL clock with Calibri font. Thanks for any help.

Uninstall ALL customizations.. reboot! Then install my cab for slim UI weather :)

Sounds like a winner to me! You dont need the WM7 weather theme to get the thin panels. Slim UI Weather does it all for you. Just no blue panels :)

[qwikndrty]

I uninstalled Chome WM7 and rebooted. Now I have regular panels with the bottom bar blue (ok easy fix right?) WRONG! I went to change my home screen color back to "default" and noticed the layout was already at "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" so I left that and only changed the color scheme to "default" and when I went back to the home screen its now completely blank again.

Is this normal behavior for having the weather app that every time you want to change anything on the homescreen you must reboot :confused:

[qwikndrty]

Hmm.. so it goes through a proxy. Do you have the proxy settings entered into your GPRS settings under start/connections/GPRS... ?

Yes, all the proxy settings are there and working properly and have been for many months. My email and all websites over EDGE are working.

[NRGZ28]

Okay. Do you have any IM apps ? Talk to me on yahoo or AIM please, I will be able to better troubleshoot that way. CLick on the two icons at the top left corner of this post to find out what the nicknames are :)

I know your probably getting really annoyed, but I can't remove Slim CHome 2. I have 2 entries of it on my Remove Programs list and neither of them will uninstall. Oh well. Just lettin ya know.

[NRGZ28]

Just install over the top, if they dont want to uninstall.

[AbsoluteDesignz]

how do u get it with that top icon in the center of the panel then an icon next to the next days weather? I'd post the screenshot but this pc is too slow with the net so I'm just hoping u can remember what I'm talking about off this description alone.

[Reeg]

I give up. I do this OVER and OVER and OVER and I very much appreciate all of your help O, but this damn thing will not only uninstall your previous SlimChome's, but it won't get rid of this damn LCD Clock when I uninstall and reinstall the SlimChome w/ Weather. Everytime after I reboot, it's back up with the LCD Clock and "not so" transparent panels.

[AbsoluteDesignz]

cant u use rickys slim theme font switcher? or just the regular one...then go into windows rename LCD.ttf to LCD.ttfa or something then reboot the phone...delete LCD.ttfa then go back to slim panel again?

[AbsoluteDesignz]

and how do I get it to look like this? or is this a work in progress


and where the hell are those 45 cent wings at?

[Rip Syntaxx]

I know your probably getting really annoyed, but I can't remove Slim CHome 2. I have 2 entries of it on my Remove Programs list and neither of them will uninstall. Oh well. Just lettin ya know.

I had this same issue happen to me w/ version 1.6. I tried for 2 days to uninstall this .cab! Then a couple of days later--it decided to uninstall on the first attempt. lol All I can say is to keep trying.

EDIT: Also, try to install the LCD Chome Mod again (even though it's already installed). For some reason, it uninstalled my current LCD Chome Mod when I did that. Voila. I was rid of the .cab.

[NRGZ28]

The IPHone layout is on the backburner now.. Here's what I'm working on now and it works very well. Suggestions ??? Ideas ??? Tell me to f***k off ? LOL

[showaco]

Layout looks good, when do we get it. The black text versions didn't show up to good on your background.

[AbsoluteDesignz]

damn that iphone version was looking proper...what was wrong with it?

[qwikndrty]

Just install over the top, if they dont want to uninstall.

Ok, so I tried to uninstall and you're right after a re-boot its still there. So I tried to install over the top and I get an Alert saying "The previous version will be uninstaller first" I selected OK. Then I got another error "The previous version cannot be uninstalled, would you like to install anyway?" I selected OK. After the install it asked for a reboot..OK. After a reboot the Weather panel is gone and its out of my programs list as well. So it looks like the only way for me to uninstall then reinstall is to attempt to install it (but it actually uninstalls) then reinstall and reboot.

After I reinstalled the cab file again (the thin one) I now have the weather panel on my home screen and the color green throughout but the weather is stuck at 10%. Rather then me clicking around messing it all up I will wait for your (OrganicM) response ;)

[axv91]

when i had this problem. i did this.... i changed the homescreen that i was on ( i picked a non-chome homescreen, i used windows simple) then i rebooted my phone. then i uninstalled the proggy and it let me uninstall. I think it wont uninstall because there are certain processes that it cant kill since they are in use, ON YOUR HOMESCREEN!

thats definitely not how you change the color of the glass panel..lol

Your program, v1.7, is a complete success. I downloaded it and installed while I got ready for work this morning. I set it up while I drove, which was surprisingly easy do to its perfect architecture.

That being said, I've got some pics posted below of what I liked that I have seen in this forum for your panel.

I like the Iphone idea the best. I know you said it's on the backburner, but right now, it should be on the front on HIGH HEAT. It looks sweet.

Otherwise, I like the one you posted as your original fav, that would be pic2.

Lastly, the one you are showing as what you're leaning towards is not as good in my opinion. I don't mean as well done or made. I mean I like that layout better on the one you called your fav originally. Anyways, thanks for the perfect screen. I hope you get back to me on adding another panel below,or and this is a big OR, using that idea in a previous post about a panel that switches your weather panel's info from current to forecast. Just an idea, tell me what you think. Holla!!:cool::D

Thanks for the kind words. It looks like at least someone is appreciating all the hard work I've put into this :) As far as the IPhone layout, it's done and I safely put it away in a .rar file so I can incorporate it into the Options later. The other two layouts... YOu'll have an option between light or dark colored backgrounds and where the text is gonna go on them... I bet you'll like it :)

[outerdepth]

Dude, you do that and I'm coming to Vegas (Scratch that, Romania) and finding you and buying you a beer.:) LOL!

Give me some options in the layouts I can choose, that way even if I don't like them exactly (WHICH I'M SURE I WILL), I have the option of tweaking those in the mscr file and getting my way as all real men should.:cool:

I appreciate your work, I'm glad that pleases you, you deserve it. Iphone, one word, SWEET.

When's this release expected to hit the street, good buddy.

10-4, over and out.

works perfect thanks organic, also just wondering when is that iphone like weather going to be out?

[Rip Syntaxx]

Thanks for the kind words. It looks like at least someone is appreciating all the hard work I've put into this :) As far as the IPhone layout, it's done and I safely put it away in a .rar file so I can incorporate it into the Options later. The other two layouts... YOu'll have an option between light or dark colored backgrounds and where the text is gonna go on them... I bet you'll like it :)

Org, this thing is awesome. I haven't noticed any bugs in version 1.7 as of yet. We all really appreciate the work you've put into this .cab. Today I was looking at the posts over the wee morning hours. You have been up until 2 and 3 AM fixing bugs and answering questions! When you finish the .cab, you should take a vacation...on us. j/k Great work man.

lol@ how many of us are salivating waiting for that iphone layout....this works perfectly on my phone now and i have no further complaints...keep up the good work....


off topic: do you know anything about dpi changes in the dash and how to cook roms? just a question.

Hey, Organic, is there a way I could "borrow" your source files for the WelcomeCenter based one? I'd love to pursue the 100% image based one, but not sure were to start, or how to script the image swapping. I suppose seeing what you've got would be as good a place as any.

quick question: when i change the chome font to script...i love the font, but then the weather panel is distorted...so i reinstall the cab file....the weather options menu is in script now and rediculously small and i cant read it

Hmm would someone mind exporting and uploading the LM\software\microsoft\chome\Ctestuiplugin and LM\secuirty\ CHOME\defualtsettings\CTestUIPlugin reg folders?

Well then it sounds like you need to stop experimenting. Chome doesn't like a mish mash of options installed on top of each other. Sorry... start over! :)

i tried to install this on my device
the unlock cab did install sucessful
but the aplication failed with the error
"installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."

i tried all of the v1.7 releases.

my someone has a helpful hint for me?

i have wm6.1 on my htc vox (gonzo rom 1.1) with sliding panel homescreen.

[NRGZ28]

It doesnt currently work on the VOx. Go to the Vox forum and look for the weather thread. There's info there on what needs to be done to get it to work.

[jdoggraz]

Did you try this. Try to install these two cabs to see if it will unlock and work.

[NRGZ28]

Lets abandon this thread guys... it's way too big. Come on in to my new thread where version 1.8 awaits :D
