Dear Canadians: Introducing EmWeather

Dear Canadian htc magic/sapphire/android users (and our international friends that visit Canada),
I just put up the beta version of EmWeather, my new weather application. It is very functional and looks nice. Most other weather apps do not provide this extended information or just have hooks to open weather underground websites (ie. slow and annoying). On top of that, most apps pull from Weather.com which, for Canada anyway, is next to useless.
Environment Canada provides excellent, surprisingly accurate, and very detailed forecasts for the whole country. This app aims to make this information easily available.
Features:
- Free, open-source
- Pulls data feeds from Environment Canada
- Shows current details and 8 extend forecasts on the main screen
- Easy access to detailed forecast information
- Ability to choose any city in canada, no need to do an independent search for obscure city codes.
- Wonderful GUI look
Coming in the next release:
- Alternative icon packs
- French language
Enjoy!

0.9.1 update
Just a quick note that there was a small bug in the application that showed every day as being the "evening" that snuck in at the last second. It is fixed in the 0.9.1 update.

Well, it's a good start. Only problem is, I've been spoiled by other weather applications. So, here's the things that have me using Snowstorm instead:
- Widget
- Auto-update the city based on the phone's current location (aka, automatically picks the city)
Okay, so it's just two things. Great work otherwise though, I'll definitely be keeping an eye up for this app in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. I have been thinking about adding multiple city support for travellers, also the ability to choose a couple of "favourite" cities for commuters.
I have a question about the widget: what would you like a widget to show? A widget that shows the current weather is pretty useless normally (if it's raining, it's raining, if it's sunny, it's sunny). Should it show the current weather and the weather forecast for the evening? Current/Tomorrow? Current/evening/tomorrow?
Thanks for the feedback,
Emilie

Hello, I've downloaded and took at look at your app, and I have a few suggestions for improvement. If you'd like to hear me out.
Like Spaceboy said include that and my suggestions:
- Widget (Take a look at "beautiful widgets" weather widget, or the Hero's Weather Widget, where it has a nice animation for clouds/sun/rain/temperature)
- Also can you add a Celsius/Fahrenheit switch
- If you look at weatherbug, it allows you to put the temperature into the taskbar at the top of the android, just a simple 26°
- Also from weatherbug if you were to pull the application bar down it would give more detail on the weather in a simple row.
- Auto-update the city based on the phone's current location

Huh, guessed I should've specified what should be in the widget eh?
From what I want and from what I see in other apps, here's what a good widget needs.
- minimal battery usage
- does not slow down the phone
- able to choose update rate (every 15 min, 30 min, hour, etc)
- updates your location automatically based on network location
- either displays the current weather in a 1x1 widget (useful to people work indoors) or the expected weather for the day (good for mornings)
- for multiple size widgets, displays the short-term forecast (weather for the morning/afternoon/evening/night for today day and tomorrow) or the long-term forecast (daily weather for the next few days)
- clicking the widget should open detailed view, (or your app to the right screen)
- some people like different skins, I'll settle for the ability to change font colour
That's about it off the top of my head. Hope it helps.

if you dont mind me asking... where does the Em come from?

Thanks again for the feedback. I am excited people are using the app! I do all the time and I love it.
I added the features you all have mentioned and the ones I am thinking about to the Issues tracker on the homepage. Please feel free to add others or comment on these ones.
I am a little swamped with school and work right now but I wanted to make sure I articulated all the features and bugs so that I can add one of them now and then when I have a few hours to spare.
Thanks!
ps. Em comes from the EM-pathy I feel for all those poor suckers reading weather feeds from weather.com and getting rained on when the forecast says sunny! Just kidding, it's from my name

I don't suppose you plan on posting up the sources? =D
I'll add what I can to the issues. Have fun with classes.

Actually, the (gpl3) source is available on the project page (use SVN).
For some reason, the last update (0.9.2) didn't seem to commit all the changes properly but the sources should be at least 0.9.1.

Hey, I appreciate your work on the app. My only issue is that the most important information to me is the 'feels like' temperature, which only seems to be tracked by the Weather Channel. I don't care what the 'real' temperature is, I care what it feels like. So I guess I'm stuck with the 'Weather Channel' app for the time being. It sucks, because I really like the layout of your app - it's just that you draw your weather information from Environment Canada, which doesn't track 'feels like'.

Finally
It's about time someone decided to use the Weather Office for Canadian weather information.
Currently I just had a browser shortcut on my desktop to my local city weather. This app has the same information I want formatted for my screen.
Thank you!
Suggestion - I like the familiar look and feel of the weatheroffice.gc.ca website. Current weather as the top strip with extra information (wind chill, tendency, ect..) Then just basic weather boxes with the POP info.
Personally I don't care for fancy graphics and eye candy. I just want the information in an easily readable format.

Try Weathereye. Feeds from www.theweathernetwork.com Just as the TV channel.

Hi, I'm glad you like the app. Environment Canada does provide an index that it calls "comfort". For example, on a day that is 18 degrees but feels a little chilly out, environment canada will say "comfort: cool". It is very accurate and it is already included in EmWeather.
I find that the weather channel feeds are basically useless for Canada, or at least for Montreal, certainly for forecast info but also for current conditions. For example, if it's rainy and cold outside and the weather channel says "mostly cloudy and feels like 17c", it's totally useless information
In the future, probably in the next 6 months, I am hoping to be able to add some other weather feed sources. If I can included the weatherchannel feeds, it will include this information.

5)select the color you want then press the middle button

[WIDGET][UCCW] - MIUI 2x4 Weather Clock Clone

Hi all! I'm Digitalhigh. I port MIUI for the evo 3d. Resultingly, I've spent a lot of time lately trying to get every little detail perfected. One of the things that bugs me is that the 2x4 weather widget is broken from the factory. Or, to be more precise, the weather feature refuses to work because they rely on their own built-in weather app, which doesn't work in the US.
There exist several clones of this app with varying functionality...one doesn't locate your position, another doesn't default to the system clock, etc., etc.
So, I set out to find a method to properly emulate the MIUI weather app without any loss of functionality or requirement to bounce between six different programs - and discovered UCCW.
(This is probably a great time to point out how bada$$ UCCW is. A lot of widgets are customizeable, but this one takes the cake. The built in WYSIWYG editor is just awesome).
The above image is the full set of weather icons created for this. I'd say about 75% of them are pulled straight from MIUI framework, and the other 25% were created by me to fill in the missing requirements for UCCW.
Original: VS Mine:
And, as you can see, the output is pretty danged good. I am still playing with fonts and such, but for now, I'd like to get feedback on how all the weather icons look. I live in the frigid wasteland known as Wisconsin, so most of my weather updates are going to be very nonplussed. So, if anybody using this has issues reading over any of the weather images, please take a screenshot and post it for me and I'll see what I can do for that image. Thanks!!
As this is designed for MIUI, the assigned hotzones are linked to MIUI apps, and may not work on other ROMS. If you know how to use UCCW, then you know it should be a snap to map these to your ROM's apps.
ALSO, this is designed for the evo 3d's screen, so I'm not sure how the dimensions will work out on other devices. Please let me know.
But - the clock links to the miui deskclock, the date links to the calendar, and clicking the weather icon links to the trusty ol' google news and weather app. Tap the top-right to get into UCCW editor.
So, yeah. Be gentle. I know the corners need a little work and it's my ultimate goal to fully scale the weather icons and add more features, but for what it is, I think it's a good start.
DOWNLOADS:
Download the skin
Download UCCW from the play store

Is it possible to show the weather as mph vs km, or is that just a limitation of UCCW?
Thanks in advance. Looks good! Keep up the great work

Unfortunately, that seems to be the one thing I couldn't find. I'm new to UCCM, so I'm really hoping I just don't know how to do it yet. It is possible to edit the suffix of the wind speed item - but I don't think that it actually changes the value to the MPH equivalent.
Right now I'm trying to do a better job with the overlay - you can kinda see where the mask is undercut by the weather image due to the weird scaling used by UCCW. So, I'm gonna redo every single weather icon and just use a blank bg - I hope this will do the trick. Once that's done, I plan on getting in touch with the author and seeing if that is a feature or if it can be added.

I know most of us have moved on to minimalistic layouts, but if you're an old-school XDA member, or a "legacy" smartphone user, you likely recognize the once beautiful HTC Sense (4) interface the moment you see it. Well, after months (or years) of searching for quality HTC Sense (4) style widgets to no avail, I decided to make some myself. Introducing the simple knock-off Sensory Deprivation KWGT widget pack!
The pack was designed for use with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but of course, through resizing, etc.. it should work well with most screens & resolutions. "Padding" might be a lifesaver depending on what launcher you use.
All widgets are unlocked, customizable, and yours to modify as you see fit. All I ask, with mutual respect, is if you share the work, please link back to this post (in case of the need for technical assistance relative to the widgets themselves).
Included are four KWGT widgets:
(4x3) 4 Senses - HTC Sense 4 style Weather Clock​
Official Helvetica Neue font(s)​
Official HTC weather icons​
No flip or weather animations obviously (Many of you are aware as to why, but if not, it's Google's fault )​
Tapping the clock opens the Samsung Clock app, tapping the weather icon force updates the weather, tapping on the city (& conditions) opens the Samsung Weather app​
Action(s) can be changed via KWGT
(4x1) ForeSense - Four-day forecast widget
Uses the location relative to your settings in KWGT
Tapping the widget takes you to the respective "10-day Forecast" page of TheWeatherChannel for your location
Action(s) can be changed via KWGT
(4x4) Sensory Widget - HTC Sense 4 style Music Player
Supports any music player that KWGT initially supports (I primarily use Samsung Music, so further testing will be needed for quality expectations)
Tap the Album Art to open the player (can be set in KWGT)
Track Title scrolls as necessary, relative to the character length of the title (Artist does not)
(4x4) Senseless Widget - Nearly blank widget designed to match with the rest of the widgets
I use it as a background widget with "overlapping" enabled in Nova Launcher Prime (See screenshots below)
I planned to make the old "FriendStream" widget, but no... I don't think I will (Not at this time at least)
Any criticism, or praise, is appreciated. I haven't done much custom work since my old Anastasia Jewel Clocks back in the WinMo days, so bear with me. I've been out of the game for quite some time.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, don't hesitate to hit me up.
(I'm a tad unfamiliar with Kuper, so until I wrap my head around that process, all widgets are included individually in the attached ZIP file. Simply Import them into KWGT.)
Enjoy!

Hi there, @Agent Zach .
I just came across this and, as an old-school XDA user I'm now using it on my PocoF1's home screen.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers.

Love It!!. Thank you!!. Keep trying other htc widgets.

gracias!! es fantastico tu trabajo!! quedo genial en mi s22 ultra
Mod translation: thank you!! Your work is fantastic!! It looks great on my s22 ultra

Dude: You're the man! I love HTC Sense and I tried many times to find an useful widget. And you did it!!! Many thanks for this work. Sorry for my English.

I'm glad you like it!

This is awesome! Exactly what I'm looking for One question...the old wheather widget or maybe the sense 4 status bar is not in your future plans? Best regards and thank you very much!
