HTC Touch Home Plugin Modifications
 

Does anyone know how to add a different city that is not listed in the weather part of the htc home plugin? Good example I personaly live in Phoenix, AZ and it is not listed in there list and I want to add it. I am sure I am not the only one that has had this question.

Look at this thread starting with post 18 and going through the rest of it for help adding a city.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

is there a way to change the 3 icon tabs? i wanted to use iphone icons

Those icons are either part of the UI or deep into the DLLs, etc. I doubt they are easy to change.

this blows. My city doesn't work and neither do any of the citys around me.

same here , wy oesnt my city work een thoug it shows up. how do i amke this work? and what file do i need to download?

Your city needs to be able to be searched at accuweather. If you can then it should update fine. I opened the cab and exported the file and modified it on my PC. Then I took the file and copied it into my documents file on the 6800, if you try to copy and overwrite the file while it's in use from your pc you will get an error, then I copied it into my Windows directory with File Manager on the phone.

Your text should look like this. US cities do not require a zip code.

<city name="Boise, ID" locationcode="NAM|US|ID|BOISE" />

Not only Accuweather, you need to use HTC's Accuweather server. Some cities that are available on Accuweather are not on HTC's Accuweather sever and will not work.

For example...

meh I edited the registry.. btw my city is not that big and didnt have no problems getting weather info :D

I've done that. Using the same code I've tried Richmond, San Pablo, and Pinole, none of them worked.

what exactly did you edit?

richmond works

TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|VA|RICHMOND

I'd like to know the same, I'm afraid someone is bending the truth

Fine, nobody listen to me... you need to look for your city on the HTC Accuweather database as I posted above, using the following format...

soft reset, worked for me after that. Initially LA wouldn't even work haha

does anyone know the code for saginaw? im not seeing where to get it...

NAM|US|MI|SAGINAW

i tried but it sas it cant retrieve the info.

No lies lol here goes... I did this with resco (phm reg editor works too).. u gota go to HKEY-LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>HTC>HTCHOME>Weather>setting s>

Basically here it is with screen shots .. first of all .. all I did was pick a city from the list thats in my state.. closest to me and then edited the registry..

All i did here was just edited the city that was already there wich was los angeles(see next pic) and typed in mine.. saved settings and then downloaded temps again and had no problems whatsoever.

3. Also u have to edit this seccion by clickin on location code and editing the last part replace with your city saved settings and then downloaded temps again and had no problems whatsoever. I know it says LA in screenshot but it reads my current city just left it like that so you guys can se.

basically just saved settings and didnt even soft reset the fone.. hehe

Edited.. forgot #3 screen shot

Pibe I don't think it's people not listening to you I just don't think they understood your post.

Step 1:
Copy "http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|IN|INDIANAP OLIS" into a blank IE page.

Step2: Change the IN to your state abbreviate and INDIANAPOLIS to your city name.

Step 3: If you get a data page with information your city will work. If you get something that says "xml version="1.0" encoding="latin1" ?>
- <weather>
<copyright>2007 AccuWeather, Inc All Rights Reserved.</copyright>
<usage>HTC Pocket PC Weather Forecast</usage>
</weather>"

Then you need to choose another city that close to you. Do not use any search functions if you went to htc.accuweather.com because it will goto www.accuweather.com to get the information and not use HTC's database.
Hopefully this clears things up.
