Stable Today Screen Weather Program?

Is there such a thing?

I am running BigJ's most current ROM and I have tried Weather Panel and SBSH's PocketWeather.

With both of these plugins, I have had nothing but issues. Constant lockups. I was needing to reset my phone just about every time I wanted to make a call or even pull up more info on the weather.

I like the additional info that is available with these programs, like radar or satellite imagery. Is there anything that can be done or are there any Today screen weather plugins that have this additional info and actually work with AKU 3.5?

Thanks,

Have you confirmed that your freeze-up issues aren't due to something else? I have tried both of those apps and neither one ever caused my phone to freeze. Weather apps can be memory hogs though, so if you have a lot of other stuff running you could have problems.

Personally, I like Marsware weather panel.
I have never had any problems.

As soon as both of these programs were removed from my Today screen, I stop having issues. The phone behaves normally and I've had to reset maybe twice in the last 72 hours versus something like twice an hour before.

Another vote here for WeatherPanel. I've been running it for a couple of years and have ZERO problems. It does run best from internal storage, rather than the storage card, though.

Love weather panel....

BUT..it can in fact cause serious problems. Try changing the settings around such as when to autoconnect - or turn off autoconnect entirely.

ADBWeather Plus v3.1
It's free, also does the animated maps (they can store on your card too!).

I don't have the unlimited data so I have it set so I update it on demand. I have had NO problems on any of the many roms I've tried.
