Here we go guys, found some info for all of us:

Instructions for adding custom city to Touchflo 2D:

• We need to edit the list of city data
• It is located at MyDevice/Windows/HH_0409_WeatherCities
• You simply edit this file with Notes, but before you do, we need your city code!
• To get your city code, visit AccuWeather.com Mobile and enter your desired city's zip code
• The city code will be in the url. For my city, the url is http://www.accuweather.com/m/en-us/N...uick-Look.aspx
• The needed portion of this url particular is the NAM/US/FL/Melbourne bit
• Using this data, we simply add another entry into the WeatherCities file, following the format observed from the existing cities
• My custom entry looked like this:

  <city name="Melbourne, FL" loca="NAM|US|FL|Melbourne" land="United States "/>

• The most interesting thing is that the "city name" field can be anything you so desire. Only the code must be accurate. (see attached)

Hope this helps!

BTW - real credit goes to Imyman and thimiost over at xda. Following their guidance, I was able to do this. You can view their posts here and here.

Also note: As mentioned below, you cannot edit the file with ONLY the Notes program. I myself used Resco File Explorer to open the WeatherCities file with Notes - but it seems you can not open the file with Notes directly. Please contribute your workarounds if any are found, thanks!

UPDATE: A workaround to using Resco can be found in this post.

It seems that this folder contains one or several files that fixes the problem. I really didn't test all the files one by one, just copied all of them to the Windows folder and problem solved.

Please let me know if it worked for any of you.

oh, my oversight! I used Resco File Explorer to open the file in notes. In Rescoe, you can select a file and select an "open with" command, then simply select notes.

You can get a Resco File Explorer Trial here - or if someone else has a suggestion as to how to edit the file, please contribute!

For anyone interested, I was able to set up SecondToday with TouchFlo 2D. I have it set up so TouchFlo is the default screen but by clicking by left softkey labeled Today I can switch to my original today screen that uses SPB PocketPlus with Weatherpanel on the home screen. If I want to go back to TouchFlo I click on my left softkey labeled Manila 2D. This gives me the benefits of TouchFlo but still gives me access to PocketPlus and Weatherpanel. I am then also to still utilize all of my previous Today plugins. See attached screenshots.

*Icon view that enables the display of files as icons similar to your desktop computer
*Real time image preview; now you don’t have to open several files in order to send the one you desire
*Open with Program allows you easily select an application to open the specific file you select (useful in case you don’t have the correct file associations or when you want Album app to open your images instead of Windows default picture viewer.
