It's got very poor accuracy, few information, laggy updating, and has lots of problems with the towns' database.
Is there a way to change the application that is called when pressing HTC home weather button.

I second that. It still doesnt work over proxy server in USA tmobile service now. I rather have the good old weather panel application running.
i am not agree.if you have any better idea,why don't ask HTC to change the plugin?
I'll go a little further... HTC Home sucks!

why? i think it is quite beautyfull ?
Beautiful but not quite functional.
Prefer SPB diary + Ilauncher. Much faster
jcarreira,
Some simple suggestions:
- If you don't like the home plug, don't use it (choose or cook ROM without it, remove from today screen, ...)
- If you don't like part of the home plug (= weather) remove it by changing its settings
- If you feel the need to alter the home plug, feel free to try and hack it or find a version with more settings; you could possibly provide the altered version to us all
What I'm trying to say is:
These people here are doing their best to find solutions and share them with us, even solutions they don't need themselves, WITHOUT PAYMENT and WITHOUT access to the code ... I'm impressed by what Gullum, h4ma, PDAViet and anyone i forget (a lot of people) can achieve in such a short period with so little resources ...
Kind regards
We should be grateful ...
I must remind you that the work performed the the cookers is not in discussion. Indeed the are doing a very good job to provide us very good WM6 ROM. ans of course, in case you haven't noticed yet, HTC Home is not developed by them, but by HTC that in my opinion haven't done any piece of software that was goos enough.

As far as i have read, i think that it is not a matter of being gratefull with people who works on this things. HTC home plug is made by HTC and the matter is that there are a lot of better applications than XDA WEATHER and hopfully it can be changed. That's all.
Just came to cool things I think we all here respect our XDA geeks!

Excuse me, but I think that this is not the question.....
People here don't doubt about cookers work, only are explaining an opinion about a HTC software...
As far as I know, HTC Weather is not developed for nobody that cooks a ROM, only is included in the ROMS, for this, I thnik that your answer is not correct...
Greetings

But the one who is speaking about the cookers?. Simply a topic is exhibited to see if we can improve between all. Nobody says that the work of the cookers is not valued, it seems to me that you have not understood what is proposed in this post.
It is basically if between all it is possible to improve the HTC HOME, and in particular the WEATHER.

Gentlemen... shal we return to the subject? There was just a miscommunication. All what can de said about this, has been said allready...
Let get back to the core-question; is there an alternative to the Weather application used by the Weather tab of HTCHome plug-in?
Like the way the music player is changeable with a simple registry tweak.
Weather fix
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

there's no way to improve ****!
++ for SPB weather engine.
I used it in spb weather, then mobile shell, now in spb traveller. I find spb traveller to be the best since it supports weather from many cities and also downloads currency rates and has handy travel tools. just perfect!. Also, it autodownloads weather data at every wifi connect! and it looks nice and clean too...

its all about SPB Mobile baby...+1.5 Million
One of the most common tasks i do many times a day, is turn the wifi in my ATT Tilt on and off. For this I have to go to the Comm Mgr and toggle it on and off. I've always wanted a one tap way of doing it, and had used BatteryStatus in the past, but its icon was too small. With Manilla2D, we dont even have that option anymore, but we do have the nice big manilla launcher.
So i put together some C++ code from myself and from samples around the web, and made a simple exe that just toggles the wifi on and off. I've cabbed it up, so that it will install into \Program Files and put a shortcut in \Windows\StartMenu\Programs called AKToggleWifi.
You can now add it to the Manilla launcher and it will show up as in the attached screenshot.
You can uninstall it from the Settings\System\Remove Programs.
I havent tested it on any device except my Tilt/Kaiser running a 6.1 ROM from Sakajati (Hyperdragon/Blackstone).
let me be the first one to say: THANK YOU.
many, many people have been waiting for this kind of solution before.
regards
bro
nice solution =D
if you got your keyboard open (for the tilt) you can always hit fn + right and it has the same effect. i just discovered the button a few days ago and it made my life easier but so shall this app.
thanks
Just flat out awesome. Works perfectly, using the default AT&T WM6.1 ROM minus bloatware.

to be honest... it's recommended for anyone.. Hbutton is very very fast and works smoothly.. and also very stable.
you can set multiple apps for every button and there are many options to customize the way it loads them... also there are options to assign
Quit, Ok, Toggle WiFi, Toggle BT.. and many more options.
mmh, i use such a wifi toggle since one year, so i´m wonderíng why you made a new one, or did i miss anything ?
the one i´m using at the moment is also here at xda devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2788804&postcount=2
here is another one that is 2 Years old but i think i rember it works only on wm5
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html (look at SmartUtilities)
so thank you for your work, but maybe next time some searching ?
big thanks for this function!!!
i'm looking for this for a long time!
i have a P3300 with alot physical buttons
then i searching to activate the wifi without switching to my home screen or comm manage to activate it.
if you can create samething for phone function
i'll be very very happy !!!!
thanks again for your work !!
i wanted something extremely simple to use, needed no configuration and didnt need other apps to be installed on the device. Hence i wrote this in C++. Yes, other tools can do more and thats great, but they all might require some setup. Since i flash often, i wanted something for myself that i can just use without using any brain energy. Hence the simple app. I'm glad some people find it useful... i certainly find it extremely useful for my own usage style. I released it to everyone rather than keep it to myself, because i have benefitted from the work by other developers on this site, and even if 1 other person finds it useful, i'm satisfied.

do you mean you want something to turn just the phone radio off, similar to how this one turns wifi off? i'll look into it..havent looked at those api's yet, but it should be possible. However, just out my curiosity, why you want to turn the phone off so often?

hehe dude. don't take this the wrong way. no one's judging. developing new apps is ALWAYS good.
cheers for the initiative.
I agree! Good on you for contributing! I want to say thanks for this app and I will be using it.
i am sorry AK and thanks again for your work.i just want to inform that there are allready existing such wifi toggles. they are simple small exe files and dont need any other application or must be modified, like yours.
HI!
Thanks for this great tool!, I will save some of my times
Could it be possible to get the same but for bluetooth ?
@akarnik: thanks mate, for a useful application. Cheers!
Hi,
Checkout the video below, i have successfully got running a Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM with CM7 Mod & a few Xperia Arc Goodies e.g. Arc Launcher, Timescape, Digital Clock Widget, On/Off Widgets, & etc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhXujGb9xxQ
If anyone of you knows how can i get other things from Xperia Arc ROM (e.g. Lockscreen) running onto this ROM please do share with me so that we can get a fully working Arc ROM into action & tease SE fans !!
Please dont ask for releases or please dont comment anything onto this thread. If you know anything that can help in development that be great, else try to keep it clean. Thanks !!

Looks very nice. I have been looking for an Android build like this. The Xperia series is very popular and after playing with my friends X10 it is something I would love to see on the HD2.
Would it be possible to provide a download link so we can all play with it?

Ok, I'm an old fart coming over to Android from an old Palm Treo 700p. I need a good memo app similar to the one on the 700p. I've looked at the market and lots of free/cheap apps available. Anyone have any advice as to which one or ones to try first?
Thanks
Jackie
E-V-E-R-N-O-T-E (free) .... is my suggestion .... has many types of note taking inputs + syncing btwn yer Android & pc/laptop app is stellar !
There are MAANNNY apps out there & I have -tried- using most of the 'higher end' apps .... EVernote seems to take the cake fer me ... but that's just me !
Damn good place to start ~>

Feel free to tag that 'Thanks' button at any time there bro ... lol ... surely, that is NOT why I help peeps, but it does look great & makes me feel oh so special
hope you like EVRNOTE ... I did notice it was 3.5mb in size but it is just one of those apps I just accept it as it is, b/c it is such a great app !! I really like the voice recorded note-taking, the voice-managed functions, the syncing ... well, I have already said it all .... lmk what you think. I am sure there are great Memo apps well under the 3.5 mb size, but -again- I think you'll find its worth it !

I prefer Springpad over Evernote, although I haven't used Evernote in a while. Springpad is a great note taker/to do list maker/orginizational tool/etc and it is one of the few things that helps me stay organized.

Looks like a real winnner at first glance ... its SO EASY to go awhile w/o seeing many of the endless amounts of other relevant tools out there waiting to be found & then, simply by word of mouth, It is the 'new bad-ass app' that no one knew about > and leaves everyone wondering what they've been doing w/o it !!!
I was never a big fan of the ALL green/lackluster UI of EVERNOTE, but was easily won over by its many uses & adaptability .... I already like the UI of SP .... gonna run em side by side & see which I prefer.
>Not to mention SP is about 2mb smaller than EVERNOTE ... thats a + ...
Downloaded those programs and they are very feature rich programs but a little overkill for what I wanted. My son uses XM Notepad which looks more like what I wanted. Only problem is that I would like to move all my notes over from my Treo 700p and it does not have an import feature.

saw it in market and DL'd/installed fine for me on CM7 ba2tf. pretty poor port though.
Oh okay cool. Well damn I don't know why it says incompatible for me on Weekly 4..? I guess If somebody else is having the same prob as me the apk is now easy to find.
Is it full screen for you? Toggling compatability mode in Spare Parts didnt seam to work for me on this app.

nope, it's a crappy WVGA port with no button functionality, just the stupid iphone style interface.

So the CoD ELITE app was released on Android today! But NOT on (my) Atrix! But I transfered the APK from my Captivate and it works just fine!
The resolution is off, it does not take up the full screen. Maybe one of you mad scientist can dissect it for us?
It is just a port of the iOS version so it leaves a little to be desired, but at least it does work even though the Market says its not compatible..

Thank you WiredPirate for posting the apk. Surprisingly, this app is not available in certain countries like mine. And you just helped me (and probably others) a lot by doing this.
You are welcome!
YEAH, thanks a lot WiredPirate, it's not available in Panama either...
Sure, no problem. If they ever update it to fix the resolution problem I will post that apk for yall!
cod elite
it's on the market for atrix now. terribly made app. just ported from iphone. doesn't fill up full screen or have any button functionality. actually, doesn't have much functionality at all. basically check stats and that's it. stupid iphone ports
=)
Thank You very much
Yea, I wish they would fix the resolution. I keep seeing resolution fixes in the updates but still no luck
Hey WiredPirate, do you care to post the updated .apk? I would greatly appreciate it.
[EDIT] I mean, I greatly appreciate the effort thus far, but when I load up the app, it won't show the login form. Just the background with a banner at the top with the logo on it. :/
