Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?

I do like MS 3.5 quite a bit, however the one thing I don;t like is the weather. I like how the weather on the home screen on the SENSE UI/Touch Flo home screen updates automatically based on your GPS location AND is 100 time more accurate than the Mobile Shell weather widget. The MS Weather App also is inaccurate and doesn't provide accurate live temperatures for my location.

Is there another better weather widget app I can add to my Shell home screen that's like the Sense UI? Its the only thing keeping me from completely switching over to Mobile Shell.

Any and all info is truly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

My weather (in Mobile Shell) updates my location automatically (at least it did initially- I haven't been anywhere else while running it yet). My weather is also pretty accurate too.

I guess it depends on where you are or something...

How do you get it to update your location automatically? I always have to manually change the city depending where I travel to.

Thanks again!

Well I haven't travelled anywhere too far using SPB Mobile Shell yet. But when I first installed Mobile Shell, I never set my location- it just knew where I was.

Weird.... mine just shows N/A and no weather downloaded if I dont manually add a city. Anyone know if Im doing something wrong? I would love to get weather in SPB mobile shell based on GPS location.

I don't think it's based on my GPS location, but rather the cell tower location.

Wait, now that you mention it, maybe I did have to add a city the very first time. I just restore my backed up settings everytime I install it now and maybe it restores the city too.

I've probably installed it like 50 times over the last few months, but I always just restore my saved settings...
