do you have an app in mind? i would try it for ya if you dont have CE cab man.

Yes, All apps that can be modified. I prefer to put apps on the SD card, unless I think i may need to use it without a card installed. I have looked at a bunch of different cabs, and once I learn, I can handle any app with an XML setup or a setup that can be modified with notepad. If the app is totally done in VB or some other language, it's beyond me. I don't know XML, but I have a program that can read it (Dreamweaver) I sure can follow a general technique. Since I haven't installed 1.2 yet, I don't have autorun installed. If you are succssful, I'd like to see the original, and also the modified version so I can compare the two.

On the same subject. - On the old thread, Scott had a short tutorial for autorun and also SDConfig.txt......We lost that when it was taken down along with a lot of other good info in the thread. Is there any way to get it put back up only in a "closed" condition so that we can look at the thread for info that's useful.

Thanks,
Bob

So yeah, I know what you are trying to do and madly respect it! Thats called a true custom ROM build!

On the stock ROM, I used an app over on XDA that allows you to add cities. Here's the link and you can get the WeatherDatabase Editor from that site.
You open the editor, add the city that you want, then "Add Location" from TF3D and it will probably be at the bottom of the list.

I never had to do it with Scott's 3.0 because all my cities were there.

Yes, thats a great method... But its actually much easier to do it the way the OP wants to... yeah, I know.. sounds strange huh? Trust me on this one ;c)

**scrosler** · #**345** (**permalink**) 01-25-2009, 04:14 AM

Anyways....

First build if 6.5

See no reason to jump ship from 6.1 yet. Cant see anything differnt except the bigger build numbers and its slower than SSK 1.2.... I think i can fix that ;c)

EDI: Yup I fixed it. page Pool was way to high for this phone......

Phattooth, where the hell is that screw driver at..... teardown next!

Yes all my cities are available, but I'm trying to get them to already be setup in the weather tab when the ROM is flashed so that I don't have to manually remove the defaults add my cities every time I hard reset / flash...

No, it doesn't sound strange because if I changed themes, I'd lose my cities and have to redo them. I just don't have the knowledge on how to accomplish it. But I am good at "bugging" people.

6.5 is supposed to have a really good version of Internet Explorer in it, much improved over the beta that is out right now (and in the ssk). It's supposed to be really fast with really good flash support. Also, there is supposed to be a totally new Today screen or UI, but some of the builds or whatever have this removed right now.

Right and you saw where I said to start looking, right?
