was able to update m2d...and tried again with the weather cities...now i am not getting any cities at all when i go to locate my home city and put it in. i think im confusing myself

First of all, witch one is the patched one V1 or V2?

And me to have the same problem with no cities showing up in the list.
I used and older already edited list to get my city.
The problem was allready there before started to change my xml or my manila.exe files.

not sure...I would have to ask Rory B since he's the one that cooked this rom up. I believe it's the most recent version, but don't really know.
I went back to the weather cities and took out my changes. It is working again now. but still don't have my home city's weather available. i'm not sure what to do next. anyone have any insight?

This Mortscript reads the registry to get weather icon number from the first weather city in your list. It does not do any weather checking. It does trick M2D to check the weather without you having to go to the weather tab to get an update.

Your conversation sounds like you need to be on the thread about weather xml editor. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554857

v1 and v2 are the same except one was not unsigned before editing, but both have been signed for software permission after editing.

QVGA vs. VGA

I have been wondering if my problem this entire time is the fact that my device is a vga device and not a qvga which can make a "huge" difference in why my weather city is not showing up, and why i have so many problems upgrading m2d. could this be my issue?:confused:

For those of you that do not want weather on the today background, but want to have weather update automatically in the "background". Remove the ".txt" copy to PDA and run script.

I've been searching now for a long time to find a solution for automatically updating the weather in background on WM6.5.

I've reviewed your script, but the registry structure seems to be changed in manila 2.1 on WM6.5. Can't find any information about the actual visible manila page and so on in the registry.

I don't have any solution yet, but maybe someone has the samel problem with manila 2.1 and has additional information.

this setup is for manila 1.5 not the one from mega. if you are running the older version and have problems updating the weather tab then you have a problem with your manila. the script updates the home screen wallpaper from the weather tab. so there is your problem. get your weather tab updated then then your wallpaper will update too.

Sounds like a bad install. How did you add manila to your ROM?

The script checks the registry setting of manila that indicates the weather image it is showing on the weather tab. If the registry value is empty, you get that error message. Does the weather image show on your weather tab?
