I just installed HTC home plug in but my city Niceville, Fl is not on the weather list. Some people said I cannot add the city. Is this true? And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
Thanks guys
And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
• Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9
• Divide the answer by 5
• Add 32 to the answer.

Classic English humor
Celcius to Farenheit
When you are selecting a city, there should be a menu on the right soft key, click that then go to Weather Option...

I don't remember the syntax. I had to do the same thing. There is a way to list areas by zipcode in the XML file.
You can change your city by adding a program called Home Screen Customizer. It is free and works really well. But let me tell you. You are going to have further problems when you do that. I spent a week going around and around with P1tater, the only one here who Understands how to fix the weather "server" problem you will soon encounter. When you get the "unable to download content...." message, it is time to change your .dll file. Find the replacement .dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1877192&postcount=2153
I never could figure out how to create it myself. This is where you go to supposedly figure it out:

Who developes the weather program for the HTC tytn ii and why cant we contact them and have them add our city for a small fee?
I've been using Weather Watcher by Singers Creations for year on my PC, and remembering that their software is free, I just stopped by to see if there is a mobile version -- there are two! One for PDA and one for smartphone.
http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutWeatherWatcherMobile.asp
FWIW, I've installed "Weather Watcher Mobile Pocket PC v1.0.8" for my HTC Tilt and it works well. I would prefer a smaller footprint, though.
All the info is in the many existing threads on this topic.
Best to look at those before adding another thread.. helps to keep all the Q&A's on a topic in the one place, which in turn makes it easier for people to find the answer to their questions...
My apologies. There's so much here way above my head that this is where I found myself after my head stopped spinning. Sorry again, folks. Will do better.

Yes it is exactly the same for me. The entire screen is disabled.
Hmm what do you mean with that?
if you mean off as in the temp is not the same as the temp in you area then its your settings. it took me a while to figure it out. when you click your city there is an option to change to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

I have no city in the city list, the entire screen is disabled. I cannot pick up a city, nothing. My device is an official unit bought in UK, no modifications whatsoever.
Absulutely No cities at all in my list. I can install one of the cabs from the forums to overcome the original file but was wondering why is it like that. The options is also not responding. I also tried to import the XML file from my Hermes but my list is still empty. Ideas are welcome.

the xml file is a ROM file so if you are trying to overwrite the original file you have to use something like Resco Explorer or it won;t overwite the ROM just using the native file explorer - try that. I have weather working nicely for Hurricane , WV --- and you can rest assured that wasn't on the original list (but worked well after I modified the xml file and installed the 6tab modified plugin)
My weather is wrong but I'm sure I know why. I'm in Springfield Missouri and its pulling data for Springfield Illinois. Its strange that it isn't able to pull up a bigger city list that includes states. Weather Panel is an old and now free app that has no trouble finding my little [email protected] town.

That's because WeatherPanel is an 'active' application, meaning you put in a Zip code and it goes and finds the data. The HTCWeather is not active meaning it only knows about the cities in the .XML file loaded to your device. Over on the Wizard forum there are several discussions on the subject. My Wizard for example only has the cities I care about the entire file is only 5K, vs the stock 300K one.
Hope that helps..

Wow small world. I too and in Springfield MO.
The weather is actually very easy to fix, all you need is a registry editor.
First choose "Springfield, US" from the city list. Now open up \\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
Change the value of "LocationCode". It will be NAM|US|IL|SPRINGFIELD.
Change it to NAM|US|MO|SPRINGFIELD. That simple. Change IL to MO and redownload your weather data.
I also changed the "Location" value from "Springfield, US" to Springfield, MO just because i liked it better. hehe.

Are you deaf, or just a little ignorent? The previous poster gave you the exact answer to your question...download the app, tweak the settings, and say "thank you my friends"!
The only other HTC Home plugin you might be referring to, is the small oneline todayplugin that can do almost nothing, and certainly doesn't feature any tabs.....so please; what are you jabbering about? (or be a little more exact as to what you mean)...thanks
where is the link just for the original HTC home plugin screen? when i get my kaiser id like to have it, then use this software as well. or does this software come with it?

Be quite and not be so offensive!!!!! I told that because i tried that program and i didn't obtain nothing. So, if you're so expert please can you tell me how to reduce the size of the clock with that program?!?!
Thanks
No, you cant change the clock size, because all the other tabs are using the same "height".
The only customizer is the one that has been described.
Other than that, there are several options for you:
1. Hack and create your own tool
2. Contact HTC and beg them to make such changes
3. Dont use HTC Home plugin
4. ...

Ok. Thank you very much for the correct (and quite) answer. Thanks
LOL! this is too funny. calling someone ignorant when he didnt say a thing to provoke it. he asked about customizing and to DECREASE the size of the clock. the link sent him to a program that yes can customize the tabs and the clock color/appearance. BUT it does not allow you to change the size. If he could create his own tool he would have done so. tough internet talk is played out. Im new here but not new to the world of ppc's and forum BS. save the tough **** for the street.
Ehm....my mistake...
But this quote seriously got me thinking that Mr DOC190401 didn't even quite look into to the solution offered, and mixing up two totally different today-plugins....

After reading this back today (and the reactions) i might have dimmed my tone a bit more....but after visiting this forum quite some time, it bugs me how many people don't actually read a thread, or do a search, or even want to try something out.... (aspecially since i asked the very same question (almost) just two threads down when you posted, where you also double-posted)
I for one have found that i could solve most of my issues here, without even asking something new.... just read carefully and try something before opening various new threads on the same topic.
Anyway.... sorry for being 'offensive' (as you called that)
No problem
First of all scuse me.
I just said what I said only because in that post I didn't found the solution to the problem of "big size clock". I did various search on this board about that problem without any solution.
So scuse for my tone.

Absolutely!!! You uncheck the HTC home plug in. Yes thats the only way to do it as of now. Someone is going to build a new plug in that doesnt have the clock in it.
Or...
You can get phoneAlarm and download the Mini Touch skin.
Don't forget to disable the HTC Home Today Plugin!
Works for me...
hooo yessss
mmmmmm
Ok.Thanks. I'll try it
Bigger clock
I wish I had a bigger clock. Just an extra 1 inch would be awesome.

Didn't know these existed. Thanks! My Tilt is still going...even after 3.5 years.
Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run
does anybody have an idea of why its not working
Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.
still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program
is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??
yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.
Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....
To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.
I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.
Dear Chefs,
thank you for all great work you have done so far!
I use the Energy ROM for about two months and I'm stunned about all the great features he provide.
However, there is one thing I can't stand: The lack of appointment- and task snoozing other then 5 minutes. This makes the remind function almost useless.
My German t-mobile branded TP2 (called: MDA Vario V) came with the option to snooze appointments and tasks by a selectable time. So I could choose remind me in one or half Hour for example or one day and many other options, rather than dismiss it over and over again every 5 minutes. This is really bugging me.
I found a fix from crackwhore but it seems to be not compatible with the current windows mobile 6.5 ROMs.
Because it is so important to me and, as I noticed, to many, many others I want to post a reward and invite everybody who want this feature to join me by posting how much you are willing to donate to the person who find a solution and share it with the community
A proper solution would be a fix that works for the latest generation of WM6.5 ROMs and it would be great to have it already cooked into the popular ROMs, including Energy ROM.
So if somebody finds a solution, everybody who joined me is asked to donate the promised amount to the person who provided the solution.
I start off with a offer of 10$
Feel free to join me and make suggestion.
And please be true to your word: Don't offer something you are not willing to donate.
Current Offers (25.10.2009 01:25 UTC):
10 US-$
and
0 €
Why dont you ditch MS with another commercial application in the market? Couldn't you able to find one? I dont remember it but there was a program like this. Google it I suggest.
You can set the "reminder" time as any minutes/hours/days when you add an appointment. Am I missing something here?
NVM, I solved it! I was able to replace the new Notification.dll that handles the notification bubbles with an old, stock one. See the next post for the solution I made!
Question
Did your stock German ROM have the notification manager, where you'd click the taskbar, and it brings up that full screen? And also, did it have the skinned notifications, like the EnergyROM does? Please just describe exactly how the stock ROM handled the notifications, describe it visually.
Information
I researched this for 5 hours, and I was trying to do this: I wanted to make the Notification Panel remain (Full screen when you click on Taskbar), BUT, I wanted to use the standard Windows Mobile notification popups, because those allow you to snooze better. Well, that's not possible, from what I could tell. It's either all or nothing, you can't mix Microsoft's and HTC's notification system.
Solution
So, you have to disable the entire thing, which means you won't have the finger friendly notification system when tapping on the top taskbar. You can find the registry to disable Notification Manager here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4125405&postcount=3

Maybe I should have waited longer, for the bounty to increase! Nah, I did this mostly for myself, but it did end up taking 5 hours! I hate registries!
How I Created It
I found the old NotificationLayout.dll, and used that one for handling the notification bubbles! This brings back the old WinMo notification style popups, but it also keeps the finger friendly notification panel! Win-win!
Imagine how fast the world is, I wish you could solve my break off with GF such a fast.
Have Fun, Cheers
Sunny
the solution that brings the old popups up, has been around since my touch x 6.0 and that is since december last year...
well well well......
Awesome. I had used the crackwhore one and it worked but this is better

FYI, crackwhore's is a better solution it doesn't eliminate the repeat function so what happens you get the alarm one time which was just as big a concern that I've had with some of the ROMs.

Lol dam. Wasted that effort for nothin? lol. Well we can add mine to the collection of CABs that do the exact same thing as the other
Hi,
sorry for the delay, but university was keeping me extremely busy this week.
However I'm glad you found a solution. It's so unimaginably convenient to be able to snooze the alarm!
However would it be possible to add some options? There is still room on the display for one option isn't it?
Very handy would be having options like four and twelve hours (half day).
I would rather surrender 10 minutes while already having 5 and 15 minutes.
(or maybe better: surrender 15 minutes while keeping 10)
However the current stage of development is already great and of cause I will stand my word of donating 10 bucks.
I invite everybody who like this fix to also support him since he was fair enough of not "waiting" for the bounty to increase first and he's doing a great job with his website anyway.
Best Regards, Time
PS: You are talking about other - already existing - solutions? I only found crackwhores fix and didn't get it to work. Well now I have a great one-click-solution I won't surrender ... would be just interesting to know.

Question
Did your stock German ROM have the notification manager, where you'd click the taskbar, and it brings up that full screen? And also, did it have the skinned notifications, like the EnergyROM does? Please just describe exactly how the stock ROM handled the notifications, describe it visually.

By next week I will flash my ROM anyway so I could flash the stock ROM in between and check if that helps. Interested?

Yea, flash the stock German ROM, and see how that operates. It'd be very interesting if they kept the advanced snooze options while keeping the slick notification style too.
I think that editing the DLL's is impossible though, but I guess it'd be worth a try. My initial goal was to keep the skinned notifications but add the snoozing. That'd be the optimal goal, and I will try to see if that can be done!

Advanced Notifications Power Snooze Appointments!
I solved it!! It's CABbed up, and available on my website, Wingster.

Maybe I should have waited longer, for the bounty to increase! Nah, I did this mostly for myself, but it did end up taking 5 hours! I hate registries!
How I Created It
I found the old NotificationLayout.dll, and used that one for handling the notification bubbles! This brings back the old WinMo notification style popups, but it also keeps the finger friendly notification panel! Win-win!

Yourestarted your phone after installing it, right? Maybe his ROM has some different notification system...I could try to look into it if you can confirm it still didn't take effect after a restart.

Yes I restarted the phone after installation but it didnt work
I would reeeeeally Appreciate it if you could look into it
You dont even need to make a .cab file, just give me some guidance on how to replace the .dll you mentioned in your post that worked

Well.....
First, download This File, unzip it, and place the DLL in the \Windows directory of your phone.
Now, here's where it may be different, apparently. Using a registry editor (like PHM Registry), try to find the string that is called CustomUIDLL and contains NotificationLayout.dll.
That string key should be located under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM, however since the CAB didn't work, Valkyrie must have changed the location of the registry key. See if you can find it. Once you do, change the string value to: "NotificationLayoutOld.dll"
Hopefully that'll get it working!

OK.
Under HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM i have one folder named "reminder" and 3 other items named "default", " customUIDLL", and "userdefaultUI"
if i click on customUIDLL the string already reads "NotificationLayoutOld.dll" ( iguess from when I applied the .cab file) so there is nothing to change!
Also here is a screenshot of the contents in the HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM/reminder folder that I mentioned above
should i be editing the autodismissextendedduration file?
BTW I forgot to mention that when i install the cab file instead of "snooze' at the bottom bar I get the "menu' on the right and also another symbol on the left (like a phone with an 'x' next to it" but if i click on any of them the notification goes away and does not come back
So in essence the .cab works (because it points it to something else) but the location it point to, doesnt contain the necessary file to show up when you click on the the "menu' icon or the other icon that comes up SORRY I DIDNT MENTION THAT EARLIER BUT I WASNT AWARE OF IT TILL NOW.....
