How To: Setup up new cities in Weather for PointUI Home2

I have posted this on the community forum at PointUI.com, but I will repost here.
Picture
First, a quick note on the attached picture. The QVGA map is half the size of the VGA map, therefore the locations are off by 2 times. Just divide the X, Y coordinates by 2 to get the QVGA locations. To get a new location, use MS Paint in Windows (pic editor), mouse over where the city you want to add is and look in the lower right-hand corner for the X, Y coordinates.
XML File
Thank you to Montecristoff at PointUI for this first part:
A quick guide to add your own city on World or Today Applet:
> goto accuweather.com to find your city with its code
When you found your town on Accuweather website, the code is in your browser adress bar. You just have to check url to isolate it.
You could also use this to obtain the complete url : http://www.accuweather.com/rss-center.asp
> Copy the following file from your device to your PC:
Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\Today\Cities.xml (for Today applet)
Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\World\Cities.xml (for World applet)

On to my stuff.
I was able to add my city and others in the United States, but I followed the existing patterns in the XML file. The previous post entries on how to use the '0&amp' are partially correct.
Here is what I use:
<item>
<id>22602</id>
<text>Winchester, VA</text>
<x>85</x>
<y>44</y>
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0amp;locCode=22602</url>
<newsurl>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&output=rss</newsurl>
<gmtOffsetMinutes>-300</gmtOffsetMinutes>
</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the id, use the US Postal Zip Code for the city you want. Then use "http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=*Your Zip Code*"
Just replace *YourZipCode* with your 5-digit zip code, and *Your X*/*Your Y* with your X, Y coordinates. See code below:
<item>
<id>*Your Zip Code*</id>
<text>Winchester, VA</text>
<x>*Your X*</x>
<y>*Your Y*</y>
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0amp;locCode=*YourZipCode*</url>
<newsurl>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&output=rss</newsurl>
<gmtOffsetMinutes>-300</gmtOffsetMinutes>>
</item>

Note: I use a MortScript to update both XML files from one location. This may be helpful if you are playing around with this file a lot. I leave my "main" copy on my storage card and make all my edits there. When I am done with that, I shut down Home2.exe, run my script, and restart Home2.exe.

I`ve got a problem.
I want to add my city, but everytime i run home2 it crashes. This is the code i added to the cities.xml:
<item>
<id>EUR|PL|PL003|PABIANICE</id>
<text>Pabianice</text>
<x>359</x>
<y>58</y>
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=EUR|PL|PL003|PABIANICE</url>
<newsurl>http://news.google.com.au/news?ned=uk&output=rss</newsurl>
<gmtOffsetMinutes>60</gmtOffsetMinutes>
</item>

What is wrong with it?

There are a few things wrong with your script though.
1) The ampersand (&) is incorrect scripting. Replace it with "amp;". Don't forget the semicolon --> ";"
2) There is a space added in your URL line for your location
Change your URL line to this:
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=
0&locCode=EUR|PL|PL003|PABIANICE</url>

Just put all of that code on one line in your xml.

Thanks! it works!!!

Hi, I'm having difficulty with city Bandung, Indonesia..
Could you help to create my code?

Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App

okay didn´t find anything interesting but i found under the lib folder of the apk a file named libxt9core.so but i dunno if the language is there :/ maybe the language files are stored external

Isnt it just in /res/values-(country code like nl)/strings.xml?
And every language you want to add would mean making a new folder called values-(xx)/strings.xml , and you can just copy over a strings.xml from another language and translate it?

hmm maybe!

It's part Hindi, part English. A simple Google search would have told you that.
The international Xperia keyboard has it as an input language, as does SwiftKey. I cannot find how to use it on the Google keyboard, however.

I'm not sure as it probably needs the associated libs to work.
You could try this and see if Hinglish input is available - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196653
It should have all the required system files and Hinglish input as it was extracted from a C6603 and that's what I'm using.

Did anyone manage to get the hinglish pack working on google keyboard? I know it's available on swype and swiftkey but i want it on google keyboard.. anyone?

Method for importing Hinglish or Hindi transliteration to stock Android keyboard
Method:
1) Download the attached text file(Hindi Transliteration.txt) to your phone.
2) Download the free app User Dictionary Manager (UDM) from Play Store
3) On your phone, start UDM > Import > External > <path to Hindi Transliteration.txt e.g /sdcard/download/Hindi Transliteration.txt>
3a) ETA: The file name in the path has to be exactly correct. On my phone the space in the filename became an underscore, so that's a potential source of error.
4) You're done, Enjoy!
4a) Optional - Uninstall UDM
Extraneous:
I wanted to accomplish the same thing that the OP of this thread wants. It was surprisingly difficult to find a list of Hindi words transliterated in English. I finally found a set of English Hindi pairs at "Datasets for FIRE 2013 Track on Transliterated Search" (link cannot be posted since I'm a new poster, Google if interested, it's the iitkgp site) , from which I removed the Devanagari script, made it compatible with UDM, and attached to this post.

Awesome man !!
Maine ye install kar liya hai... Dekhte hain kya hota hai... Abhi to badhiya chal raha hai....
Used google keyboard to type this...

Thank you very much... it worked

I've written an application for such translating xml files, you can use it to translate xml file in one click.
Steps:
Select xml file (e.g. Strings.xml)
Select source language (e.g. cn for chinese)
Select target language (e.g. en for english)
Click translate menu item
It may take several minutes depending on source length
A new file with translated text will be created in source location with new keyword in file name.
Optionally, you can exclude words and patterns using regex.
Hope this will help many people on Xda. I'm not registered as developer here, pls some one post it as a thread with credits. Thanks in advance.

Dear these are the translations to leading foreign text. Copy and try it in translate.google.com and see it.
If the process is stuck on certain translation; copy the left hand foreign text (in your case chinese characters) and add it to exclude list.
Hope this answers your question.

[Req] How to change app name?

I recently downloaded asphalt overdrive and found the name too long and odd looking in my app drawer. I wish it would be better if it was down to oneword such as "Asphalt" or "Overdrive" only. Can someone tell me how to change the app name itself. It will be much helpful if someone modifies it for me

In Nova launcher you just need to hold on an icon, slide it to Edit and just delete or rewrite name. that simple.

thanks a ton!
