[Updated: Oct 16th,08] NRG MiniWeather 1.2 !

[NRGZ28]

Hello everyone. I've been working on this project today and I'd like to share my work. This is the mini version of NRG ChomeWeather 3.1... MiniWeather 1.0.

It's only got ONE layout and that's a 5 day layout as seen in the screenshots below. It's portrait device compatible so feel to install on Tornado's and such. This version also hopefully corrects the problem people have been experiencing with the phone locking up while the keyboard was locked and the weather app was updated.

This version also has a solid autoupdate routine that hasn't failed me once in the last 3 days.

All in all, I believe this is a rock solid version and I've tried to anticipate any bugs that may occur. Think of this as a light version of NRG Weather 3.1, as it's only 2 megs in size.

However, I will stop development of the old 3.1 version and just improve this. I hope you like this... and please report any issues. Thank you.

A few words for the newbs... After you install and reboot, please set your location code in the Options. Then update.
In order for the detailed forecast panels to show updated information, the phone HAS to be rebooted. There's no way around this... YET. I'm currently
working on moving from the CTestUIPanel to another panel, but not ready to do so... yet.

Features:

- Autoupdate according to Yahoo servers' time + 10 minutes + 1-5 random minutes (so we don't all hit the server at the same exact times)
- Update in 15 minutes when no connection is found.
- First forecast day info comes from Yahoo... the rest from weather.com
- Verbose status information as the script is running.
- Minimal set of icons to save space.
- Detailed Forecast panels can be turned off in "Advanced Options"
- Application will not automatically refresh the screen while the phone's keypad is locked.
- Built-in leftover notifications removal tool, in case you want to uninstall. See "advanced options".



October 18th - 1.2 Release


- Twice as fast current forecast download.
- Only one layout supported.
- Revised layout and removed the monitor, for now.
- Blue / black backgrounds behind the temp and hi low indicators, actually follow the official sunrise/sunset of the location selected.

It updates in 15 seconds or less now...

etc...

This is a preliminary release of MiniWeather 1.3 with support for the new 20279 core which has a different Chome platform. This version is NO different than 1.2 and it ONLY works on the "Rose" based ROMs, including my own Excalibur version.

Non fully tested yet, so if there's any bugs, let me know. Oh, you might have to go to homescreen options and pick one of the MiniWeather layouts

Good work man. You always have been really good at putting together a nice, clean package and no different here. Glad to here your planning on moving forward from testui and feel free to use any ideas we might have introduced. I think there's room for all of us here, and that's cool the way you made blue/black deal to reflect time. Great idea!

Great job Org (sorry, NRG). Works great. Really simple to use (as it should be) and awesome looks. The only thing I found is that for some reason it doesn't show low values on cTestUI. It's been happening since a couple of versions ago on my device (although I've uninstalled before installing this new one). Here's a SS of what I'm talking about. I think maybe it's some residual reg values or misplaced pics.
Anyway, it's a great app. Thanks for all the hard work

Hi NRG/Org.....

As usual your work is wonderful, this version works like a charm and seems that my phone has about 1 Mb more of memory free, thanks for your amazing work, waiting for your new version without the testui panel......
