Re: Custom Weather Database 11/11/2008 - City Request Accepted (works with Manilla)
 

I wonder how many cities in NC are in this database. I'm hoping that Wilmington, NC 28401 could be added.

Also, sorry to sound ignorant, but in the very first post of this thread, which is the file suitable for the Verizon Touch? I modified the xml file on my phone myself, but I can't copy it with Windows Explorer, phone won't let me overwrite the xml file, well, because! I'll try doing an activesync. Any other way of overwriting the original xml file?

Thanks!

To replace the xml, Total Commander or other file manager will work. Conflipper and I have the entire US in database files so adding any city is possible. We just can't put the whole thing in because it's a HUGE file, so we pull from it for requests. I'll add your request in by the weekend, and get it to Conflipper for uploading.

I ran Total Commander, and was dismayed that its directory tree works fine on the PC but when you go to Mobile Device, it just won't show any part of the device's directories so I could not copy the xml file to it. Duhhhhh! I'll keep trying. You can open up Windows Explorer from Total Commander, but that's going back to square one; Explorer won't let me copy a modified xml file to the /windows directory of the mobile device.

](*,)](*,)Summons patience...

Okay, The Total Commander I refer to is the one for your PPC, not desktop.
It's a file explorer and more for your PPC. I have attached the cab installer for TC, and you'll need to copy it to yopur PPC and run it there to install.
Once you've done that,

The process is as follows.

1) copy custom weather file to PPC.
2) Open Total Commander on PPC and surf to file.
3) Click on the custom weather file and copy/move to \Windows (on PPC)
4) Soft-reset.

Apprec. the info. I was able to modify the xml and transfer it to the \windows directory but it would/could not retrieve the data. I'll have to carefully see what I did wrong. Maybe it needs a zip code. I'll work on it. But at least I've gotten this far!! Thanks muchas.
<city name="Wilmington, US" loca="NAM|US|NC|WILMINGTON NC" land="United States"/> is the entry I made....any way to point to the zip code instead of the city, I wonder? Thx

Follow this link, read up and install the proper file(s) and either patch your HTC Home .dll or replace it with the Vogue patch .dll
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/

As to the format for your city, it should use either one of these. Copy these entries into your .xml on your PC and transfer to device.

<city name="WILMINGTON, NC" loca="28409" land="North Carolina" />
<city name="WILMINGTON, NC" loca="28412" land="North Carolina" />

Will try above and post back with results, Guitardoc, thanks much!

OK Doke...here's the follow up. SDK certificate install: Check. Vogue/Sprint dll upgrade, wuhhhh....it froze up the mobile phone which then booted into safe mode. Then I didn't know what to do so I just installed the htc home that was on that page, and that restored the phone back. I then had to move the weather xml file over to /htchome/ directory, and then whew......I've finally got the thing going and got my Wilmington NC weather!! For a little while there I thought the phone was bricked!! There was really no need for that Vogue/Sprint DLL I don't think. Anyone trying it, watch out!! But thanks much...the end result is satsifactory. In fact, I got comm manager back on my launcher tab, whereas before I had deleted it and found later when I wanted it back I could not add it back!
Thx again,
Roger

Will this work with the touch pro?

Re: Custom Weather Database 11/11/2008 - City Request Accepted (works with Manilla)
 

Yes it will. I have been suggesting to Conflipper that the thread needs to be moved to a more general forum as this works on other devices as well.

Thanks so much! Off to try it!

Good to hear Roger. It seems to be an isolated problem with the .dll file as I haven't seen too many with problems with it. It worked for me but I dl'ed the one on the xda linked page, and not the one from here. Maybe the file is corrupted??

Re: Custom Weather Database- City Request Accepted
 

Hi Connflipper, I finally took the time to correct my city´s weather with the help of this database. I´d always known it was incorrect hehe, but hadn´t taken the time to try to do something about it. It´s Monterrey, México, which is really MX019 but was set to something else.

I´m having a little problem with San Luis PotosÃ* (my hometown) for some reason it gives me IDS_STATE_0 I have put in the address exactly as shown in accuweather´s webpage (NAM/MX/MX024/SAN+LUIS) . Maybe you know what that erros means (what I´m doing wrong) and could help me out.

Thanks for you work man. It´s great to have the right weather for Monterrey now.
