Custom Weather DB Editor File Location?

touch_rules · #1 (**permalink**) 03-05-2009, 03:13 PM

Does anyone know where the custom weather db editor stores the custom cities so I can back it up? Thanks in advance.

Wow, 39 views and no one has a comment or answer. You guys are much smarter then I am.

This is the deal, I love to flash the new custom roms like so many here and I don't mind re-installing programs manually, I just want to add a few files like my custom weather db and my opera favorites to my backup so I don't have to keep re-creating them. Typing in the custom cities is tedious so it would be so much easier for me to just back up a file.

Someone smarter then me please help. Thanks.

i don't use the file myself so i can't really help, but if you know the name of the file you could search your phone for it. chances are it's in the \windows folder

goodluck!

Best thing to do is to maybee change it by adding a city, then sort your windows folder by last modified... Perhaps...

Keep us updated because it would be nice to have Hutch instead of Wichita.

Install Weather_Database_for_ft3d_v2.cab from the quoted link. It has Hutch, 66 and sunny currently...

Does this have all US cities? I suppose this would be easier then trying to find my custom file if this already has the ones I want anyway. Thanks.
