Re: Weather application - Add cities?

been strugling with this for a few weeks. this post inspired me to try again. The problem I had is I was using a form of multi-tab home plugin. I was using Schen's 2.1 cause i wanted five tabs and this just won't work on the Touch (see below). To make it work, I copied over my stock home dll, ran the patch program (with modifications, it does not run stock and needs an update on the batch programs, see below). Got the new home dll, installed. edited the city list and actually figured out how (have to really read those instructions) and bam it worked. Down side is, now I am back to 4 tabs.

to correct the bat program/patcher, you have to have two copies of the dll in the folder. one in the tools folder named unpatched.dll and another in the main folder as standard htchome.dll. can also monkey around with the batch file to remove the file check - that's what i did.

Real problem is, to use Schen or other home apps, they put the weather.xml file into a directory I've heard called HTCHOME persumably in the windows directory. When you load anything like Schen it checks for the file in the directory (i think) and therefore won't load your edited copy. If someone knows how to bypass this, please post as I'd like to have my tabs back. (HHC customizer doesnt seem to add tabs to the stock Alltel roms)
