MSN weather widget
 

Not sure if this had been covered, but i was wondering if there is a way to add the msn weather widget when it hasnt been cooked into the titianium weather. The person who build the rom i am using was trying to save space and left it out but i would like to add it.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Did you find a answer for this? I want the msn weather back also.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

no havent had anyone answer me yet. let me know if u find out how to do it.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

try and find a cab.
google "msn weather widget cab ppcgeeks xda"
thatll make google search both ppcgeeks and xda before other sites.
im sure youll find something...
its worth a try,but im on my phone so im not really going to try and search for it right now...

here is the link for the suggested search.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

wow, google fails on this one. :D:D
I'll have to search more when I get home from work.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

I'm putting something together right now... (I will edit w/ attachments)
With this site: [WIDGET] Streaming wm6.5 [include: enable installing widgets] [working on vga & qvga]

1- Install "enable_widgets_wm6.5.cab" (Thanks Themuzz)
2- Copy Mortscript.exe (v4.2) to \Windows folder and run it (a message box should pop up saying that 2 extensions were registered).
3- Enjoy any of the ".wgt" I attatched. Just run and follow prompts to install (Thanks Themuzz and Indagroove)

EDIT:
-MSN Weather Widget seems to be a newer version with larger text (very nice) but it's missing the Radar tab (MSN issues? I used that alot)
-Not entirely sure mortscript (step2) is necessary since I use sashimi which enables mortscript automatically. BUT, from the 6.5 titanium stuff I've read mortscript is used quite a bit.

_So... I anyone has found a version with working RADAR it would be much appreciated!

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Wow ... I was excited to see this. I'd been looking for a way to install the weather widget for awhile now.

Unfortunately, the chef of the ROM I was using seems to have removed the widget and wmwidgetinstaller.exe. Is there any way to install the installer? Without it the enable cab doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

I have also been trying to find the MSN weather widget.
If anyone has an OEM that would work also.
We can install it with nuepackageinstaller

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Dude, you rock.....thanks for this...I really like the MSN Weather widget.:headbang:

Re: MSN weather widget
 

This should be a community atmosphere.
So, in that spirit, here you go:
WidgetOEMFiles.zip

Please let users know what system files you may be replacing if you do create a cab.
I say, don't bother with cabs for the actual widgets since the widgetinstaller seems to work similarly to jbed compiling the info.

If anyone's interested this came up in discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=167
It's a good clarification.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

thank you very much for your work!!! greatly appreciated and DID NOT forget 'Thanks' button either!

Re: MSN weather widget
 

im missing something here. i followed instructions in installing the cab, and then copying the mortscript ub \windows.

then what is the next step?

Re: MSN weather widget
 

You should be able to try and run *.wgt or *.widget and it will ask if you would like to install.

Otherwise this is the best info/howto. New Cabs and Packages are there too.

"6. Look if the file "\Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe" exists, if not go to step 12. If it does exist, (install the enable_widgets cab) or go to step 7.
7. Download "resco explorer" or "total commander" and install one of them
8. Browse to the folder where the wgt file is located
9. Inside the browsing program select the wgt file and use the option "Open with"
10. Browse to the \Windows\wmwidgetinstaller.exe and select that file.
11. The widget should install

12. Apperently you don't have the widget engine on your rom, so you should find a rom with the whole package or try the cab below: add_widget_engine_v2.cab. This will add all the files and registry entries the widget engine uses. This is just a beta so it might not work, and might screw up your rom (small change ).
13. After the installing of add_widget_engine_v2.cab soft reset and try to install a widget
14. It should now work"

loving titanium.
I got these widgets working , but how do I get them on a Today Panel?
thanks

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Hi there,

I'm exactly in the same situation:
Have titanium running, the widgets are working, but.... How to put them in the Today Panel ?

I know that must be done in Titanium_240x320.cpr.
For the widgets to show in the today panel it should exists the correspondent SECTION in that file... But I don´t have a clue what put in it.

Thanks !

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Thanks for this...

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Awesome

Re: MSN weather widget
 

I keep getting an error when I tap the widgets to run them. "Error updating the registry".

I have the Enable Widgets installed. I already had a Mortscript in the Windows folder and I tapped it to run it. It ran like expected. I installed the Steams widget and it gives the error also. All the widget files are in the My Documents folder of main memory.

I'm running Energy GTX 2.5 ROM....based on WinMo 6.5.5

Re: MSN weather widget
 

I have Total Commander installed but it doesn't seem to have an "Open with" function.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

This won't be in TC, it'll be in the default file explorer, as you try to open it it will take you to that screen.

Re: MSN weather widget
 

any preview images of any of this stuff?
i would love to get a preview of all of these rather than having to install and uninstall each one of them
cause you know after so many it cause issues and then you half to do a hard rest and put back in what you like

Re: MSN weather widget
 

Sorry no. Plus... it's been over a year since I've seen anything substantial about WinMo's widget platform. Luckily, I still had this thread in my subscriptions or you might never heard from anyone.
I've been using RSS or simply visiting the actual site via OperaMobile10 and Skyfire.
