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&' 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>>

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>

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.

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

So I'm unlocked and using pretty much everything but AT&T. Is there a way to allow stock tethering functionality on our device?
I already tried getting rid of TetheringGuard.apk/odex and ATT_Hotspot.apk/odex, borrowing hacked telephony.db from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261, and editing build.prop with this:
ro.wifi.hotspotUI=1
ro.usb.tetheringUI=1
ro.tether.denied=false
No go.

Thank you, JMZ. A particularly (ocassionally) useful feature, especially when using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM. (Only 4 hours till my phone arrives!!) --Larry
Hello JMZ, I'm having same problem. I can't start my wifi hotspot. I don't know how to root my device. This is my first android device. Is it necessary to root my device to use my wifi hotspot. How do i check my ROM type (You guys mentiones STOCK and SENCE ROMS here).
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Solved

Thanks to diekastro's post #8 at the XDA HTC One X Forum, I found this allowed me to activate a wireless hotspot and eliminated the AT&T check, using SQLite editor.
-- albeit not for the faint of heart:
Make a backup of telephony.db (in case this doesn't work for you)
Your internet APN should be configured (Settings - Mobile data - Access Point names)
1)Open Telephony.db (flange files: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases)
2)Select 'carriers'
3)Search second row, then select Edit field
4)Change ID field with a number non used in this db (ex: in my case the last row is "37" so I used "38") - Save
5)Repeat the 3 and 4 steps, but using row 12.
6)Search the last line (or line with your carrier internet APN)
7)Select the row and Edit Field.
8)Change the ID field to "2". - Save
9)Chose the second row, then Clone Record and change ID field to '12' - Save
Now just need to make changes on the newly created lines:
Row number 2 -> Edit field
1)Change name to ATT Phone
2)Change Type to "default"
2)Insert_by field to "internal".
3)State to "readonly"
Row number 12 -> Edit field
1)Change name to Entiltlement
2)Change Type to "entitle"
2)Insert_by field to "internal".
3)State to "hidden"
My phone: HTC First, rooted and s-off. Stock rom w/ JMZ Kernel. Straight Talk SIM (AT&T network)
--Good luck

Yeah maybe. Can you clarify which one is suppose to be copied to slot 2? Cause the way I read it I just copy 38(which was in slot 2) back to slot 2 and the clone that one to 12. Maybe it has just been a long day....

That could be confusing & it is now easy to forget what I did, but it probably should read: 'search the "original" last line (or line with your internet carrier APN)' -- in my example it was line 37 renumbered to 2.
Basically the script just resets the database and subsitutes our actual APN & settings for the default AT&T values, so there is no conflict.

You would almost need some sort of "interactive" zip, as the line numbers and APN details will most likely be personalized per user. But that's why you are a great Dev and I just know enough to be dangerous! Thanks.

Well as long as the user is ATT it will work. My databases.db. if they aren't they will have to do it manually. I can of course include your for users that are on ST(ATT). And as new users come in just add it in. That's what they did for the other att devices like one x and one x+

I have a HTC One GPE converted phone and when I switch on the data/ data roaming, it does not show any "3G" or "E" or "H" or "R" symbols. So there is no way to know if I have it on or not unless I go into settings to look for it. Does anyone know any solution to this problem?
Bump!!!

using a root explorer with the system set to r/w
go to system/customize/ACC/default.xml
scroll to the bottom and look for the sku_id
try changing it to 7 or 11 save the settings and reboot the phone
you should have icons now
Thanks.. But the system/customize does not have an ACC folder..

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

I do not quite understand what you mean, I asked one fotot to better understand me ... even more so I tried to download the file from the link below and it will have two apks that modifquei differently, see one after the other. I hope the right.

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!
