Add Cities to Weather-Tab?

---

Hi, Weather Database Editor doesnt work with my Girlfriends Touch 3G (german).
Is there any Solution to manually add Cities?

Thanks. =)

Same problem here

Try this one..

Thanks but it does no show any cities...

yepp, seems that the database has another filename...
i try investigating this...

Ok, found the Database. =)
Its HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml (for German Users i think).

Bad news:
Its hidden/system/in rom
Any ideas how to rename it?
I copied it to the PC and edited the Cities in but i cant copy it back to the phone...

You can easily overwrite the file with resco explorer after disabling touchflo from the today screen but I have yet to find a way to copy the file to the pc. Could you share your xml please?

Ok I am getting nearer.

1. Disable touchflo
   
2. Copy HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml from the /windows folder to your pc.
   
3. Edit the xml to include your new city.
   
4. Copy it back to the phone into somewhere like "My Documents" then use resco explorer to move it to /windows and overwrite the original file.
   
5. Copy manil2d.exe from windows to your pc,
   
6. download XVI32 from http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delph...vi32/xvi32.htm
   
7. download sign code from N2A's site http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/SignCode.zip
   
8. Open manila2d.exe in XVI32 and do a search for "weather.manila1.htc.com" ( make sure Unicode check box is checked )
   
9. You will see the update URL in unicode , which means that if you want to replace it , there has to be a hex 00 between every letter !
   
10. It needs to be changed to something like weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?locCode=%s%s%s
    
11. save manila2d.exe and sign it using N2A's batch file
    
12. Copy it back to the phone into somewhere like "My Documents" then use resco explorer to move it to /windows and overwrite the original file.

Now I have the new city listed but when I update, all the temperatures = 0

I'm not sure what I have done wrong but I think the URL is wrong.

Any ideas?

Ok, the URL was different for me.
Done that but without the %s%s%s.
Still not working.
I can select the cities but i cant see them in the tab.
Update says that it cannot get updates for the selected city.

I reply here instead of the PM , so the others can read it aswell :)

I don't have a touch 3G so I cannot experiment for you , but 1 thing is sure ,
people had the same issue on the Diamond ( cities not updating after hex-edit ) when the hex-edit was not done 100% correctly ...

So 2 questions :

1) Did any of you try the reigistry hack from the diamond ?

In stock ROM, the URL used to update the weather is a specific Accuweather URL. WDE change it to point to N2A'website ( http://weather.not2advanced.com/ ).
Registry key=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
String value Name=Weather.ServerURLOverride

2) when u tried patching , did the replacement weather string have EXACTLY the same length as the original ? On the diamond , it was an absolute no-go when the length was different

Open manila exe in XVI32 and do a search for "weather.manila1.htc.com" ( make sure Unicode check box is checked )

You will see the update URL in unicode , which means that if you want to replace it , there has to be a hex 00 between every letter !

I then replaced : http://weather.manila1.htc.com/widge...s&?ac=TR2cra9U
with : http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcw...ac=XDADevs1234

Those two lines have exactely the same length upto there ( That's why i added 1234 to the XDAdevs , thankfully that's ok with N2A's site ) so the rest of the URL ( &device=innovation etc.. ) can remain unchanged !

If that fails to work , send me a copy of the manila app ( modded and original maybe so I can see what u did ) , I'll look at it , patch it & send it back for you to try ...

I can't promise anything of course , but I'm on holidays this week , so I've got a little time to spare ;)

cheers,
