Date and/or Time problem with Garmin XT partially solved - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
For those with time changing / switching / problem using Garmin mobile XT, here is a nice workaround.
Evolving from Garmin iQue to Mobile XT was never having my phone clock on time again. Every time I used XT I had to check if my phone clock and date was ok.
I was tired of trying every single Garming XT version with diferents Kaiser ROM's and nothing was solved. So I developed a tiny .net console application that wraps Garmin execution and monitors time changing, restoring original time in case of change.
My TyTnII is running WM 6.1
Rom: Hyperdragon III
Radio: 1.65.24.36
3.sj.hd.03
25.94.40.06h
Garmin XT Version 5.00.20wp
Installation and use:
Compact Framework 3.5 may be needed if it is not installed.
Download the attached file.
Copy all 3 files from zip in any directory.
i.e. "\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\"
This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.
i.e. 30#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\GarminXTClockFix.exe" \Garmin\Que.exe
(I included my .lnk file too, just in case)
From now on, you have to run Garmin from the modified shortcut
And that's all, I know that this is not THE final solution, but I hope it can be useful just as it was for me.
Please feel free of giving some comments here and any kind of feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Diego
UPDATE: deleted mediafire link and uploaded an attached file.

Thanks
Hi Diego,
Thank you for your post, It’s has been very helpful. I hope you can post other solution.

I have determined that the time change problem occurs if GarminXT does not quickly get satellite lock. Apparently there is an undocumented feature that sets the device time from the GPS signal, but if it does not get a lock, it sets it to midnight GMT.
My solution is to prime the GPS with the BAF GPS Toggle today plugin before starting GarminXT.

Fixed!!
I fixed mine!!!!
Just went into Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Time Zones Tab, and Un-Checked the "Auto change time zone and clock" box.
There is no problem for me because in my country (Costa Rica) we don't have time change due to change of season, it's always the same.
I don't know why MS put this option there. I think that the place it corresponds is in Time Settings or Regional Settings, but in Phone Options???
Still don't know why Garmin XT is the only one program that does this thing.
No more clock/date changes for me!!!
I hope this can solve the problem of many of you, since there isn't a reasonable solution yet.

Unluckily my clock settings were the first things that I've tested, with no solution for me.
I've just updated my solution, with a minor fix regarding problems with time zones like Caracas -4.30 or Teheran +3.30

Hi Diego!
I tried your method but I'm not able to run it. For sure I'm doing something wrong.
My phone is an iPAQ 910c, Windows 6.1 in Spanish w/ CF 3.5 Installed.
I moved the .lnk file you attached in the zip into Start Menu/Programs and tried to run it with no success.
Also, the name of the exe from Garmin is QuePPC.exe.
If you can please explain me the following step you added, will be highly appreciated, since I'm not sure on what to do here
"This app need the location of your "Que.exe" file as a parameter. So you may modify the original "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder to target GarminXTClockFix.exe. Or you can create another one.
i.e. 30#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GarminXTClockFix\GarminXTClockFix.exe" \Garmin\Que.exe
(I included my .lnk file too, just in case)"
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi there, maybe we have different Garmin XT version, but I think it wont be any problem.
This little program needs as a parameter the location for your QuePPC.exe
So, before trying to run the "GarminXTClockFix.exe" you have to modify the .lnk that you've copied.
Tell me where you copied the GarminXTClockFix.exe and the full path of your QuePPC.exe so I can assist you.

Hi! The version I have is 5.00.20wp, which I believe is the latest.
The path I placed your software is inside of the Garmin folder:
\\\Garmin\
I'm sorry for misleading you. I was looking previously at the files in the SD card, used for the installation. The software is installed in the phone itself, not the SD. In there, I found the Que.exe file. That queppc.exe I mentioned can also be used to execute the program from the SD.
The Garmin folder includes Que.exe and Garmin Mobile XT.exe. Both also execute the software.
Now I got this error when running GarminXTClockFix.exe, the phone shows this 4-color symbol meaning it's processing something but then just disappears executing nothing.
Any idea on what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi Diego! Would you please tell me how to use it? I'm still struggling with it...
Thanks a lot!

Hi! sorry for the late reply, I was on holidays
First of all, I have to mention that this partial solution is not working 100% properly for me. Meaning that my kaiser system clock is still changing from time to time Next weekend Im gonna give a try the latest WinMo 6.5.
Saying that, the error that you mention is simply because you are trying to run a 2nd instance of Garmin XT, when that happens try looking in your active application manager (ie task manager lite) and "bring to front" the existing garmin xt instance of the software.
But if you weren´t able to run at first time, you may check your .lnk file where is looking for your garmin original .exe file.
If you are still having problems, attach here the .lnk file that you are using so I can help you solving this.

WM5: Full installation guide for TomTom 5 with BT GPS

Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. Don't close the TomTom window, or the files you want will be deleted. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is "nvapp". Within that you'll find a subdirectory called "app". Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!
And this was my post number 100. I'm so proud! :wink:
Thanks
I have added this to wiki but am not sure that it is for both WM5 and Ce2003.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Install_TomTom
WM5. You can simply run the installation app for WM2003SE, at least if you haven't installed AS 4, I have a sneakin' suspicion that it is the culprit, and not WM5 itself. And 2003 doesn't have the GPS applet in Settings.
And thanks! I tried to add it to the Wiki myself, but I'm hopeless with HTML and I haven't done any Wiki work...
Edit: Saw the note in the Wiki. I have done this twice on my WM5 Qtek 9090, it works as a charm.
Wiki is a piece of cake has Zero to do with coding.
use the edit button and you will see it.
There are one about 5 things you need to know and all of them you will see if you edit a page.
Maybe you would like to add your notes to the page!
Yeah, that was easy. It was creating a new page and linking to it that I couldn't get a grip on. Comments added.
Woo, Thx a lot. finally, i got tomtom 5 running on my ppc.
but anyway, anyone who has USA maps can share with us?? Westcost of USA is most importemt area for me.
Thanks again!!!!!!
Mastiff
If you go back a page and edit it you will see how to create a page.
After you have done the link a ? comes up, you then have to click on that to enter the content.
All Pages strart with BA_ or BA_WM5.
To get a feeling for links just edit a page that has one in it.
Check out the Wiki development Page on the root of BA wiki, You can set up a test area to create your own pages, edit format them ansd then post them when they are done. (you will see my page, edit it and will be able to work the rest out.)
If you have issues then pm me, I will also move files form Upload to a proper place and correct the link.
Have fun.
OK, thanks. I'll try that if I ever have anything worthy of the Wiki again... :wink:
Well, Tomtom is installed succesfully, but the registration of The Benelux map will not work.
This problem wasn't an issue before. With the TomTom 5.00 version from Bakonl.
Someone suggestions?
i got tomtom 5 installed and running fllowed by this guide. however, i copy the California Map to the root of SD Card. but tomtom shows "map not find"??
how to install a map. or i did something wrong?
by the way, i got map from my friend, he bought tomtom from bestbuy. i don't have full copy of tomtom 5. just downloaded the update package from tomtom.com
I just want to thank you for the great info on BT setup for GPS. I was trying to setup my Iguidance and Mapopolis with a Belkin BT GPS and had no luck. WM5 takes some getting used to.
Cheers!

Just happy to be able to help. I've gotten so much help on this forum that it's good I can give something back. Also I struggled like crazy with this, and most of the stuff is just compiled from other posters.
I have installed tomtom 5 but I can't install language.
On my cd I got languages as zip files called **1,**2, etc
I don't find a cab file.
voices are ok now
but gps status is searching for 30 min,I got 2 blocks on status but still no gps connection!!???
Backlight Tomtom 5 with wm2005
The installation works perfect but when i start tomtom5, my backlight is going down. If i look at the backlight settings then they are OK. If i change one of the backlight settings while tomtom is active, the backlight is going on.
Mastif's solution is nice, but imho not conceptual
Mastif, thank you for your solution. But I think it isn't working at all. I'm talking about Blue Angel (WM5) and ASUS BT-100 GPS reciever.
I had big problem connecting TomTom 5.0 to GPS reciever under WM5. Devices were paired well, but TomTom 5.0 (and all other GPS programs) were not able to see serial port on which devices communicated. Avialable were just COM 1, 2 and 9 + BT UART. GPS was paired on ports 7 and 8.
After a lot of attempts I found a solution (IMHO supposed by MS as default):
- turn on Manage GPS Automatically in settings
- set correct hardware port where is GPS paired (COM8)
- choose port where programs should see GPS (COM7)
- start GPS application
- if I understood well, after first applications attempt to recieve GPS data, OS will create "virtual" GPS on port COM7, pair it with real GPS (the same PIN) and start to use it.
- voila! TomTom (5.0) started working!
BUT! This process is not repeatable! I spent a lot of time to start it again, with very bad success, sometimes ok, sometimes not. And I can't imagine that I will write PIN code for GPS pairing at every start of TomTom (eg in moving car
So I tried Mastifs solution with partial success, I upgraded TomTom at 5.1, turned off GPS sharing feature, paired GPS and TomTom 5.1 seems to be ok. But other programs not! They don't see paired COM port as well...
Any other advice? I need to complete this task to November, 1st, because I will drive Atlanta - Key West - and back. I need a satellite navigation! Last month I made a "little" trip Prague - Germany - Netherlands - Belgium - France - most western part of England and back, major part I drove alone and can't imagine driving without TomTom! But it was with MDAII (Himalaya), now with Blue Angel I am nearly lost!

Hi firstly thanks for this method I'm so happy to have it working on my pda (your a champion)...One issue i have encountered is that even after installing off the update of 5.10 in prefs it says it is 5.0 which is odd to me as I have it working fully and as far as I know it doesn't have any probs with the probs of 5.0 but saying this i'm not sure how I would know if it is having probs with my vga etc etc
thanks in advance
Kind of strange. Mine says "Prg. Version 5.100 (5160)" under Preferences, Show version.
Thx for the guide, I finally got TT working again on wm5 !
One snag though ... TT5 doesn't appear in the Today screen, even when I select this program in "system - today" :?

TuMa v1.1 - ALPHA - WM5 ROM - Wizard Ported to BA

Ok everyone, the next "incantation" of the TuMa ROM is now available!
This ROM is a radical expansion and departure from mamaich's original. I've replaced a number of elements which were OMAP code, with XScale code - taken from the Himalaya, Jasjar, and various ROMs I have had access to. I've also upgraded some applications, and put duplicates of different versions in as well (to determine which is better), and have added other various features, tools, and widgets.
The ROM requires a fair amount of testing now, and the only way I believe this can be done would be to let "everyone" at it and see how it goes. There is a LOT of untested functionality in the ROM, as I don't have access to a number of devices or configurations. So, feedback is definately needed!
There have been a LOT of changes in this ROM, and because of this I'd like to term this ROM as being an ALPHA version. If you have the will and the way, give it a go. I'm finding the performance even better (so far) - but it's only been an hour of testing, and in truth ... I've only managed to test very little of it. 8)
Considerations for this ROM:
All core elements of WM5 are now in the ROM. This includes the previously removed Pocket Powerpoint, Excel, and other files. So, all of the CAB files which I've created specifically for this ROM can be OPTIONALLY installed!
There are now 3 CABs by default in the EXTROM folder:
1). Midlet Manager
2). Arcsoft MMS Composer
3). IA Camera
This means that the ROM should be directly usable in devices without a Camera. If you have such a device, then make sure that you don't install the CAB file (just cancel it)!
If you do have a Camera, you MUST install the Camera AFTER the MMS Installation, as I've chained the two installations together. MMS will install without Camera, and then the Camera CAB will enable the Camera in MMS Composer.
One thing - localization is set to "New Zealand" (since that's where I am), so some of you will need to change this back to your region. (Sorry - it's my ROM after all )
The ROM is in /Uploads/Blue Angel/wm5_test/WM5 BA - TuMa v1.1.zip
Contents: nk.nbf, and the EXTROM folder with CAB files - so, update the operator and Flash away ...
Explore the features, test all of the elements, and let me know if everything is working properly.
All the best of luck with it!
*** D-OH! First Bug ... The "Contacts" SoftKey is wrong ... just open up the SoftKey Control Panel Applet and reset it ... works fine then. Sorry Guys. :-(
Is it possible to put a direct link to the file? I can't really find it...
I get a checksum error using BAUpgrade; MaUpgradeUt doesnt show any rom info. This is what i have always used to fix my roms previously
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -so O2___001 -sl WWE nk.nba

Anything wrong here?
Edit: I was in bootloader mode
Hello efjay, could you help me here? I can't really find the file to download
raymondu999 are you using an FTP client? Thats probably the best way to get it.
Edit: try this link ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/WM5 BA - TuMa v1.1.zip
No actually, I'm only going the ftp://xd[email protected] whatever thing...
Does it work for you? Or is it my computer that's acting funny and not letting me download it?
Actually, nevermind, efjay, it's working for me now. THANKS A LOT!!!! I owe you one!
No problem, pls post if you are able to flash ok. I seem to be stuck.
No problem, willdo. However, don't expect anything too soon... My internet is slow as hell, so I'll be downloading for a looooooooooooong time....
Hi All
First post so please be gentle LOL
Flashed rom ok but have doubled up on programs (exel x2 word x2 etc)? tried reflashing /hard reseting but with no luck this rom is faster than any other i have tried and some nice additions too...

any ideas on the double programs would be most greatful
cheers for now
Nic

Hmmm ... I had this as well when I was building this ROM myself. I think it's because some folders have been specified as "PermDir()", and the shortcuts are being kept.
For anyone experiencing the same problem try this:
(NOTE: This will require a HARD RESET & REBUILD)
1). Run "File Explorer" and goto "My Device"
2). Tap and Hold "My Documents", then select "Delete" and delete everything
3). Tap and Hold "Program Files", then select "Delete" and delete everything
4). goto "Windows"
5). Tap and Hold "Start Menu", then select "Delete" and delete everything
6). Tap and Hold "Startup", then select "Delete" and delete everything
Then HARD RESET your device, select "Format Storage", and "Clear Registry", and the duplicates should be gone.
I think I may have messed something up in the formatting specifications for the Flash Storage device ... i.e. it checks the existing format, and if it's still ok, it keeps all permament items around. This is probably BUG #2. *sigh*
Let me know how you get on ...

Installed the upgrade, did note the above problem. In step 2) and 5) files exist that prohibit the folder deletion, like PIE in step 5. Not sure why I get a different response than nks. Ended up deleting the duplicate entries in the Start Menu.
This version is much faster, great work.

1) Noticed the Double menu items, can delete some directories.
2) Noticed that the activesync connection does not remain connected. I have to disconnect and reconnect
3) Sound issues with WM Player playing off a SD card remain until the buffer is full (about 1 min into the song)
Will keeping probing for other issues.

Thanks heaps for the feedback!
Right ... I think my reworking of the Flash Storage specification - while improving the performance, has had a few other 'odd' side effects. Probably the SD Card buffering/paging has been affected, and similarly resulting in the double menu items.
As for the ActiveSync disconnect issue - I did have that happen to me just now as well. Very strange though, I simply opened another "explorer" window, and everything came back immediately. Maybe I've changed the timeouts/timing for the usb driver too much.
One really BIG question though - since you're using a SX66, did everything work flawlessly for you with respect to the NON-Camera installation (i.e. just cancelling the CAB install?). Is MMS fully operational and everything else working?
I'll try to have a look into this sometime (very late) tonight after I get my "real" work done now.
Oh ... and on the "bad news" front ... I'm going to be away again for another 2 weeks now - this time in Germany, going to be exhibiting at Cebit - leaving Sunday. *sigh* a bit last minute and unexpected all this.
Hopefully though, I'll have time enough to do some patches or an upgrade to the ROM for anything which is found before that time. So keep testing and letting me know!
Hello Mr. T Great work by the way !!! it really works great, much faster and responsive!! you will be a saint for all us geeks !!!
I have my first bug to report! in hopes of furthering the development.
there is no support (at least for me) for MIDI as ring tone, it does not play. also I get the following error when trying to play in WM "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."
well just happy to report! cheers!!
Great Work!!
another thing, I really believe that the problem with WM5 for BA is the phone side of the ROM I really think that there is an incompatibility issue here. because when I use the device with Radio off, it works perfect! on every issue.

I deleted the Camera CAB and modified the cfg.txt file before copying the files to the EXTROM directory and flashing, same effect as cancelling the CAB install. It installed without error. I tried installing the camera cab on an earlier version with no adverse effects on the SX66, but I prefer not to have it around in the PDA. I like the option to pick and choose what to install.
I'm not a user of MMS right now, so I can't tell there. Pocket MSN works. The activesync connection dropping out does have something to do internet access, connection stays active until an attempt to connect to the internet. MSN and FTP don't appear to use the activesync connection when it is available.
Wifi works, but I can't thru the portal at the hotel I'm at tonight, so I can't do a full test. Don't have my bluetooth adapter with me to check it.
Removed the screen rotate tool from the tray, I prefer the special button 9 on the keyboard for that function.

I have my first bug to report! in hopes of furthering the development.
there is no support (at least for me) for MIDI as ring tone, it does not play. also I get the following error when trying to play in WM "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."

Move the desired ringtone to the \windows\rings folder and it should work, it does for me.

That's great to hear ... and no slowdowns either I presume, which is very good news for SX66 users now.

Yeah ... I think a lot of people are like that - so having the choice to add MMS, Camera, or Midlets lets everyone decide to keep just what they want.

NOTE: This is very easy to do for anyone else. All 'accessories' are simply loaded in the /Windows/Startup folder, so if you don't want something (like Cyberon Voice Dial, or Screen Rotate, or psShutXP, etc.) you can simply remove it from this directory, or disable it, and it'll no longer run. Similarly, all buttons are now configured as configurable buttons (not hard coded through registry, etc.) This way you can easily customize the device how you like it.
Remember, it's also not using any of your Storage memory for these 'extra' applications - so there's no cost in having or deleting them.
I'll check the board again in a little while ... must get back to work! I might be able to make a v1.1a later tonight, which will hopefully correct some of these initial problems which have been found. (If I find the time ... )
hello all ...
im not try this new ROM but 1 question... ist work to use BA as modem with this ROM ???

Need TomTom 6 on the AT&T Tilt - Read Here

Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.
Steven
i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?
Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?
This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!
lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.
lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?
lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

you're disconnecting your phone from activesync, then using file explorer on your phone to "click" on the cabs you copied over, right?

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.
Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.

Please help with gathering weather on homew screen!!

Ok, go ahead and bash me, I have been trying for two weeks and still do not get it. I have read post over and over and simply do not understand the "computer lingo". I have a ATT Tilt 8925. I have installed the HTC Home screen with the customize application. I live in Thibodaux Louisiana and the only city I can get is New Orleans which is 60 miles away. My Tilt has a factory ROM and the only things i installed were:
HTC Home plugin
HTC home customize
fff Finger friendly finder
large start-up menu
opera mobile 8.65
I do understand that with a new patch I should be able to receive any city. The problem is I DO NOT understand or can not figure out what patch I need. I have read a lot of post, I do not know which one I need because of the "lingo" used. I am a police officers not a tech. Can somebody please assist me in getting my local weather by laying it down in layman's term!!! This would make my tilt complete. I know a lot of guys would be happy.
ok, go ahead and make fun of me, then after please help. If you are willing I would even be glad to give a call to someone.
Thanks again !!!
Ok, here is how I got mine to work. First install HTC home customizer. Then soft reset. Then in HTC home customizer, edit the city and save it to cutom.
Then copy the .dll file to your windows folder on your phone. Soft reset and everything should work.
BTW, unzip the dll file first before you paste it to the windows directory.
Ok, I installed the HTC Custom and it workng fine. I know how to enter the city of choice but I do not understand whats a .dll file, were its located and were to install it.
Are you talking about the windows folder under My Device? And once you show me were this .dll file is, any special place in the windows folder it needs to got. I guess I can cut and paste it there correct.
Thanks for the help, just need a little more info.
What a .dll file and were its located?
What I just did was download the attached file you had and unzipped it on my PC then transported it to my tilt. I cut and paste it under My Device>windows and and paste it at the bottom. Soft reset and still unable to gather data. When selecting a new city. I selected custom and enter my city (Thibodaux)> then my zip code "70301" then country USA. After each selection I tapped "X" to save and at the end I tapped exit.
Any thoughts
Nope thats it. Just soft reset & then go to the weather tap & it should sync.
When I enter my zip code do I enter anything else other than the numbers?
I noticed at the bottom of the tab it had some format/letter etc, all I enter was my zip code numbers?
Also should I be seeing other cities when I am on the home page when I tap the city icon. It only shows my city (Thibodaux).
I do notice when it is searching, the internet is running. Also from the factory it searches using MediaNet I beleive. Also, I am not using a proxy. All my internet setting are from the factory.
Is it possible I have the wrong HTC Cutomizer downloaed. I downloaded the
"v0.8" version the other one was the v1.0????
Tried again and after searching, unable to gather data ETC.
Again, thanks and help!!
I am going to try and install the HTC Customizer on the phone instead of the storage/memory card and see if that will amke a difference. The HTC home and cusotmizer work good being on the storage card. Anyway stand by and will try.
No different, same message; "unable to gather data from selected city"
Okay, Do this. DL the attached file. Unzip & Put both files in \windows directory.
Go to HHC customizer. select the weather tab, selesct custom database, select add city enter you city exactly like this (use your city info of course):
Palo Verdes, CA USA 90732
No periods in USA or after the state abbreviation.
You will only see the citys taht are entered into the custom database, that's why only the one shows up.
Ok, stand by
ok, I downloaded the attached file you have on your last post. I unzipped it on my device and put everything under windows then soft reset and still no luck. I did notice that your file had an Opera icon (weather cities) in it. The other that I downloaded from above did not have this.
Thank for you time, any other suggestions??
I have put so many different files in here to try and get it to work, I will just load my saved "back-up" and start again.
Any help from you guys!! I really would like this application to work. Everything else I have installed has worked w/o problems except this one.
Simple' I just want to be able to located my city!!!!
I can find it on any other weather program.
To make this clear, this are the programs I have installed, is there any more I need?
HTC Home plug In
HTC Home Customize (I believe that the weather patch is installed in this program already?/? correct??)
The attached .dll file that's attached above.
Is this all I need to retrieve other cities??
I am determinded to get this right, as you can see!
Unfortunately I'm not able to help you with the HTC Weather piece, but I am running PocketWeather from http://www.sbsh.net and checked and your city is available in there. So if you are unable to get this fix and still want weather, this is an option. Unfortunately it isn't free, but you could always download a trial and see if it works for you before buying.
Another free option would be WeatherToGo from http://www.tonaya.com/products/wtg/index.php but I don't know if they have your town in there or if it can be customized.
Good luck in your quest.
Thanks, I think I will just go ahead and purchase the sbsh weather.net program if I can not resolve this issue.
1. Install HTC Home Customizer 1.05 whic I think u said u did.
2. Start HTC1.05, in the weather tab, change your city and add to the custom database.
3. Soft reset.
4. Sync phone with pc. (its just easier this way, trust me)
5. Once synced copy the .dll file I uploaded earlier (using ur pc not the phone) and paste it to the windows folder of your phone.
6. Soft reset.
7. Now you must be able to access the internet with your phone for all of this to work. Click the weather tab and click in the area where it asks you to and it will download your weather data.
Hope this helps.
I downloaded the v0.8 version of the cutomizer, does this amake a difference?
Did you go back into customizer & re-enter the custom city data & make sure there are no periods?
I've followed your directions, when I tried to paste the dll file into my windows directory through my PC, the windows directory did not show up. So I tried to copy it from the my documents directory to the windows directory using the file explorer on the phone and it said it could not copy over the file due to access restrictions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Idaho and the closest city I can get is 4 hours away.

Ok you are just trying to find an HTC Home that will let you get your local weather? If i am correct, then download and install these files in order:
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/SdkCerts.cab
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/htchome-2.1-n2a.cab
http://www.pocketemu.com/request11.html
Once all 3 are installed, run the customizer and set up your weather!
I've got mine to work with all the aforementioned assistance. However, it only updates the weather either via WIFI or ActiveSync. Is there no way to get this to work through the proxy?
Thanx.
Ericc191, thanks for that post. I'm wondering if that will make a city work that doesn't work when you edit the xml? I tried before doing the regedit change to add my code in, but it still couldn't find it through accuweather.

M2D Weather - Adding Custom Cities Tutorial

I just copied my other post to make it easier to find over here. Hopefully you will all find it useful and enjoy the information.
For those who might not understand how to do it, just wanted to post this guide here too.
What you need:
1) HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. I have attached one below which you can use, or alternatively you can copy the one from the your /windows folder.
2) If you don't have the version which is already patched then you will need the N2A patched file attached below as well.
Here are the steps:
1) Open HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml using Notepad.
2) You will see many cities listed like this:
<city name="Anchorage, US" loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE " land="United States " /> (original)
<city name="Ketchikan, AK" loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN" land="United States" /> (copied and edited)
Simply copy one of the cities from your country, or state and then edit the city information. You will notice in the example above i have changed "Anchorage, US" to "Ketchikan, AK" as this is just what will display on the screen. The section marked loca=con"CONTINENT|COUNTRY|STATE|CITY" must be typed in correctly or else you will not get any data.
3) Repeate step 2 for as many cities as you would like to add.
4) Disable touchflo on the today screen
5) Copy Manila2D.exe (if you are not using the version already patched), and your newly edited HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to the /windows folder.
6) Enable touchflo on the today screen again.
7) Go to weather and add new city, the new cities should be available to you. I would remove any old cities you had before as well.
Weather won't download via edge or 3g:
For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
It should work fine

Scotchua, nice tutorial. I've been using several of your fixes since I discovered them. However, the one note missing from your Manila2D Weather Custom Cities tutoria is how to determine the loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN".
I have the solution! For most US locations, you can use the 5-digit ZIP code, but to determine ANY location, including outside the US, use this link to AccuWeather's RSS.
Simply put in your location as instructed in the 'Choose a location' field and click 'Set'. (For this example, I used Whistler, Canada.) The page then generates a URL for you, which looks like accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=NAM|CA|BC|WHISTLER. The piece after locCode= (which I've hilited in Red) is what goes in the loca="" field in the XML file.
Then complete your tutorial, and choose the custom cities! Hope this helps someone else looking to make a quick fix.

Here's An Entirely New Method. I tried and it works on PDA V9 (Only one i tried it on).
macrossmerrell said:
Hi all,
Here is what I did to fix my the darn weather problem using my AT&T Tilt through MediaNet.
1. Make a copy of the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml in the Windows folder.
2. Modify the file to include your info. (for me the zip code worked). See the examples below:
Code:
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID" loca="83406" land="United States"/>
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID, US" loca="NAM|US|ID|IDAHO-FALLS" land="United States"/>
3. Copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)
4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings
5. Using TotalCommander overwrite the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in the Windows folder
6. Go to Settings, Connections tab, Connections program and select the "Manage existing connections" option.
7. Click the Proxy Settings tab and uncheck the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option.
8. Click the OK at the top left.
9. Once again, select the "Manage existing connections" option.
10. Click the "Edit..." button for your MediaNet or ISP connection
11. Click Next, Next
12. Click the "Advanced..." button
13. Click the Servers tab at the bottom
14. Click "Use specific server address" and enter the two following addresses for DNS and Alt DNS:
208.067.222.222
208.067.220.220
15. Click OK at the top, then Finish at the bottom, click OK again at the top, then OK again.
16. Reenable TouchFlo in your Today options
17. Go to the Weather Tab and Add your city
18. Enjoy
I have tested the solution on are Garmin's ROMs, but it should solve proxy server issues and DNS issues relating to AT&T's seriously out of date default DNS servers (the proxy server uses an up to date DNS server).
The above DNS servers are from OpenDNS www.opendns.com
Please post and/or PM me if this solution works for you. I've been frustrated at the lack of working weather for my area, so this is the crazy solution I came up with!

Any Suggestions
Hi, I've done everything. However when I try to copy the new file I created with the HH_0409 exe there's problems.
1) when i go into windows on my device and go the the HH_file it will not let me copy it or deleate it, so i could then put in the new file.
2) when I try to copy and paste my new file titled the same HH_0409_WeatherCities to the Windows in device I get a error message that reads (error copy file, cannot copy HH_4090_WeatherCities access is denied. Be certain that there is enough free storage memory that the destination is not write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.)
I have unchecked TouchFlo as stated and done everything as listed. I'd somehow had this working when using MD2 but now that I'm using the Solace 1.5 rom, I'll be darn that I can get this to work. I'm trying to put Millsboro, DE USA into the darn thing. If you have any suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thank you in advance.

I use total commander (which i have added as an attachement to the first post) to copy the files. If you have tf2d, and done a soft reset, but still cannot copy the files using total commander then i really don't know why your files cannot be overwritten. I've honestly never had that problem before, so i just don't have anyway to help you.
I also got that same error when I was using file explorer but I did get it to work when I used Total Commander.
I downloaded the file to my desktop.
Then opened it with notepad.
Added my city
I then choose to save as and selected the file on my desktop to be overwritten.
I copied it to my storage card.
I then copied it using total commander to the windows directory with TF2d disabled.
soft reset
enabled TF2d and it was there.
Can you give example of with zip code. I tried it using the info off the rss feed hyperlink and still nothing. Thanks.

NOt working for me
Scotchua, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I have edited my HH_0409... file and put the cities in. Now I am able to select the custom cities as new locations but I get the "unable to download..." message for those cities whil the original cities will download weather just fine.
Any ideas?

you need to either copy the patched manila2d.exe file over to /windows or change the DNS server addresses. I tried both methods and they work. They're both in the instructions.

Hey I appreciate the help...I am up and running now. I had saved the Manila2D.exe file to my storage card--I thought I just had to run it like a .cab but obviously (I overlooked it before) you have to save it to /windows. (I didn't have to mess with the DNS settings and I was able to simply enter using the zip code method.)

can you do a step by step using total comander, I stil get a message that the files can not be replaced
I have the same problem. I am using a touch cruise with chavon bravo's rom. Cant move the manila file to windows.
NOTE: OPEN THE XML WITH NOTEPAD, NOT WORDPAD.
Word pad will translate foreign characters and will corrupt the XML file.
I did the step by step instructions, copied both files to the windows folder, and then restarted touchflo. Wheni go to Select location, its completely blank. Any ideas on this one?
still nothing
i'm using hyperdragon IV IOLITE, with touchflo but same trouble, when i've update the XML the new location appears, but when i sync nothing comes, but if i overwrite the patched Manila2d.exe now doesn't come up the manilla.
i don't need the Connection setting, cuz i'm a Mexican user, i've my own settings.
any idea, anybody know if the Hyperdragon IV IOLITE has already the manilla patched version?
this is the change in the XML NAM|MX|MX019|MONTERREY, the original MONTERREY has MX005 and comes with other weather forecast not from my city
i've tried two ways, overtwritin' the original Monterrey item, and adding another as MonterreyNL, and as i told you, in both ways the new setting pops now but can't get weather and in the other locations JUST FINE!!
Custom M2D Weather
hi guys, maybe I have the definitive solution to setting new cities on M2D weather. (or at least on my Kaiser go on)
1) in M2D weather set one city whatever you want is indifferent.
2) disable touchflo in today setup
3) open REGISTRY EDITOR and go on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then open software, then open HTC, then open Manila2D, then open Weather here you have two choice "0" and "setting" in both of them there are two item: "Location" and "Location Code". (you have to modify the item in "0" and in "setting")
So, when you tap in Location, you have to insert a string like this:
Caprese Michelangelo, It (first city name and after the nation)
When you tap in location code, you have to insert a string like this:
eur|it|it016|Caprese Michelangelo
If you want repeat for other city. At the end enable touchflo on the today screen again and upgrade the weather.
Work fine for me on my Tytn II.

hi guys, maybe I have the definitive solution to setting new cities on M2D weather. (or at least on my Kaiser go on)
1) in M2D weather set one city whatever you want is indifferent.
2) disable touchflo in today setup
3) open REGISTRY EDITOR and go on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then open software, then open HTC, then open Manila2D, then open Weather here you have two choice "0" and "setting" in both of them there are two item: "Location" and "Location Code". (you have to modify the item in "0" and in "setting")
So, when you tap in Location, you have to insert a string like this:
Caprese Michelangelo, It (first city name and after the nation)
When you tap in location code, you have to insert a string like this:
eur|it|it016|Caprese Michelangelo
If you want repeat for other city. At the end enable touchflo on the today screen again and upgrade the weather.
Work fine for me on my Tytn II.

I seem to have deleted a DWORD in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS because the keyboard was in the way and I rewrote a DWORD by mistake. Could anyone please list all DWORDS under HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS?
FINALLY a simple fix-Thanks!

Man, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the first fix that worked easily without messing up something else. City data now updating like a charm on my Vogue. Thanks again for sharing.
