Instructions for adding custom city to Touchflo 2D:
  • We need to edit the list of city data
  • It is located at MyDevice/Windows/HH_0409_WeatherCities
  • You simply edit this file with Notes, but before you do, we need your city code!
  • To get your city code, visit AccuWeather.com Mobile and enter your desired city's zip code
  • The city code will be in the url. For my city, the url is http://www.accuweather.com/m/en-us/N...uick-Look.aspx
  • The needed portion of this url particular is the NAM/US/FL/Melbourne bit
  • Using this data, we simply add another entry into the WeatherCities file, following the format observed from the existing cities
  • My custom entry looked like this:
    <city name="Melbourne, FL" loca="NAM|US|FL|Melbourne" land="United States "/>
  • The most interesting thing is that the "city name" field can be anything you so desire. Only the code must be accurate. (see attached)

Hope this helps!

BTW - real credit goes to Imyman and thimiost over at xda. Following their guidance, I was able to do this. You can view their posts here and here.

Also note: As mentioned below, you cannot edit the file with ONLY the Notes program. I myself used Resco File Explorer to open the WeatherCities file with Notes - but it seems you can not open the file with Notes directly. Please contribute your workarounds if any are found, thanks!

UPDATE: A workaround to using Resco can be found in this post.
I am having problems with this... I was able to edit the file and list my location as it was on that website and tried several different versions but in continue to say can not update. I could use some help... My location is Lake Mills WI USA... Please help...
