EDIT: Use the attached .cab file to fix your QuickGPS. This restores it to hard reset state.
EDIT 2: WTF?!?!? The .cab was made the same way I always make them yet won't install. If anyone knows how to fix, lemme know...
-Mc
If I try to manually update QuickGPS, I get an error message of, "Connection Failed. Please try again later." I have never been able to get it to connect. Does anyone know how the registry settings work? Does it just try them all in order until it gets the settings it's looking for? With the exception of one link, all the rest try to connect to xtra1.gpsonextra.net.
According to this XDA thread, the settings in the registry should be:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\0\IP -> htcscm13.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\0\1\IP -> htctsvr.htc.com.tw
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\1\0\IP -> www.htcusainc.com
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\0\IP -> service.htceurope.com
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\QuickGPS\2\1\IP -> ftp.htceurope.com
But in the registry of the 4550, I have:

looks the same exept for the options you have checked that I don't (remind when expired).
I'm curious why the old settings had various HTC sites and the new settings are all the same one (anyone ever heard of redundancy?)...
Thanks for the response. May have something to do with my connection settings. Everthing syncs and works on the web though...
hmmm.....
UPDATE
When you manually update, it downloads two files to your temp folder:
CLM_SITE_LIST_UPDATE.INI
packedEphemeris.ee
but as soon as the meter hits 100%, you get the error message "Connection failed. Please try again later"
If you delete the 2 files and wait a little, you can download them again but it always fails immediately after.
So I still have for
Download time: Not yet downloaded
Valid time: Expired
Anybody have any ideas?
thanks,
-Mc
The QuickGPS worked on my Kaiser earlier in the week as well and now it is showing that it has never been downloaded and expired.
Manual connection attempts also result in connection failed and try again later messages. I think something is wrong with the servers.......
I don't think so. If you check your \Temp folder, you should see the two files I mentioned above. If you move those files to your \Windows folder, (make sure QuickGPS isn't open) you will then see it is current again.
It's getting the data but it's not putting it in the windows folder. It fails on that action thus returning an error message.
I've been working on this for a while now.
-Mc
I hate to say this, but maybe it's time for the hard reset and test this before loading your restore? Knock on wood, I've tweaked the heck out of mine and QuickGPS is still doing it's thing without issue.
It appears to be a pretty common problem. When you google the error message you get a lot of hits on various sites. My Kaiser is bone stock with only a couple apps installed. I haven't even customized it that much.
I think it's gotta be something simple once it's found. Finding it on the other hand...

Mine didn't work on wifi but no problems on Edge.
For anyone who's worked, would you mind using Mobile Registry Editor and export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS] (none of the IP/Port stuff needed). Again, here's what mine has:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"curIP"=dword:00000000
"curRegion"=dword:00000002
"remind"=dword:00000000

"Bias"=dword:fffffed4
"folder"="\Windows\"
"region"="US"
"INIDate"="20060531"
"NotifyID"=dword:00001960
It will download to the temp folder but not put it in the windows folder and fails everytime.
Thanks!
-Mc
I have the same problem too on my french kaiser.
i did notice something weird though the first time it succeed to download, the validity was something around 7 days instead of the usual 3 days. Did anybody else noticed that ?
since then, same problem as everyone in here : sometimes i have connection failure, sometimes it shows a progress of the download and reaching the 100% i get the error.
yup. I have the same experience as you. It's gotta be something simple. I'm still plugging away on it...
-Mc
I re-ran QuickGPS over WiFi this AM, using the registry settings I posted earlier in this thread. I got a new xtra.bin (the file containing the satellite info), and my registry settings were relatively unchanged (i.e. only the time values were changed, not the IP addresses, filenames, logon info, etc.); that suggests to me that the settings I posted earlier do work.
McHale, you might want to try changing your settings to match mine -- they work for me, so they might for you too.
Yup. Have to do that tonight. I may delete the whole entry and see what happens.
I plan on hard resetting at some point anyway...
-Mc
OK... Needed to be done.
Reg settings after a hard reset. These settings are the same regardless if you allow customization to proceed:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]

So, that said, are you back up and working again with QuickGPS?
Yah for now. But don't forget, it worked fine the first time I tried it out of the box. I don't know how the config got changed in the first place which is still confusing for me.
So at the very least, I can create a .cab file from my reg export and see if it helps anyone else without hard resetting.
If anyone is willing to try the above reg settings to fix their QuickGPS, lemme know and I'll a .cab. Otherwise, all the settings are above and were captured IMMEDIATELY after a hard reset before any configurations and customizations took place.
-Mc
ok, i'm changing manually my values in the reg with Resco Registry to see if it will works.
However can you clarify me:
for example, for "bias" you have =dword:fffffed4
in mine i have DWORD value and i have the choice between Hex or Dec. It is on Dec and the value is a simple "120".
This happen on several keys where you have complicated letters and i have "simple values". I guess this is just about a converstion stuff ?
or should i enter fffffed4 as a Hex ???
I just have no idea what this means

Hi guys,
I LOVE the spb pocket plus battery meter along the top. I feel NAKED without it.
But -- it doesn't work with WM2005
So, here is a replacement. It shows battery and memory use at the top of the screen and works well with WM2005.
Copy to your \Windows\Startup.
You can run this first to make sure it's not a virus but for better proof please visit the page I found this on, and say thanks to Intek for making this!

Sorry buzz it was my mistake. I was messing around with AEBplus and somehow the setup.dll from that cab got mixed up with that of powerststus cab file. The button dialog you were seeing was of aebplus. also when you uninstal this cab you get the dialog telling that AEBplus uninstalled
Now I have corrected the cab file. Sorry for the mess :roll:

It's nice and all, but unfortunatley I see some flickering on the power/memory bars when Synchronizing, WiFi, and even in some full screen games the bars keep showing (which is somewhat cool, but they flicker oddly).
Is this a modified version of the original?
What changed?
Is it possible to make the bars just one pixel tall?
What are the increase/decrease increments? It would be nice to have it decrease/increase by one or two pixels and have a dashed line instead of a solid line don't you think?
Best regards,
Rayan
that solid line is what I like the most on it...

It's not working...
Uhm,sorry, am I missing something? Just installed Powerstatus_corrected on my Magician (T-Mobile one with original ROM), but there's nothing to see (no bars... - even after soft reset... ). Do I have to activate (start) it somehow? Where is the program installed to?

Yes, copy the executable (or make a shortcut) and place it on the Windows/Startup folder so every time you soft reset it is automatically launched...
Greetings,
Rayan
Sorry again, which exe? Guess I'm a little bit blind today... :roll:
TIA,
BGK
Okay BGK, disregard my last post... This new version installs automatically to the Startup folder, so the only thing you need to do is either use File Explorer on your PPC to navigate to Windows/Startup and click on the Powerstatus.exe file to launch it or turn off the PDA and then soft reset...
That's it...
Rayan
Okay, I've got it. Obviousely while you where typing, I realised, that the exe was installed into /Windows/startup. As the autostartup-folder is named "Autostart" on german devices, the exe wasn't run on soft reset...
When running it manually, it works like a charm...
Anyway, thanks for the hint, Rayan.
Greetings,

Is this WM2005 only or will it work on WM2003SE?

Just take the .CAB file and copy it to your Pocket PC and then execute it from there... It will install to the Windows/Startup folder (or Autorun for German devices).
Soft reset the device by turning off then soft reset or simply navigate to the installed directory and execute it from there.
Cheers for the quick reply, will be installing shortly!
It runs on my XDA IIi running 2003se!
e_status
Hi guys,
i liked this app so much, and i was so insolent, that i rewrote a bit... ))
now those bars are shown at the bottom of the screen, coz it is not so busy there as at the top. That means not so much flickering... Of course, if you run full screen apps, it will mess with it, because it is drawing directly to screen...
Now there are four bars...
green -> main battery %
yellow -> backup batery % (this is 2 B changed to BatteryDrain l8r)
orange -> Free RAM %
red -> Free Storage memory %
i also changed the it's behaviour, while the device is cradled... now it looks more alive )))
oh yeah... i named it e_status (enhanced status??) )))))
hope. U'll like it...

WM5 CamPatch 3
Thanks ill try and post back
DEVELOPMENT DISCONTINUED
VERSION Beta 3.2 is out, see end of this post
Hello to all Charmer users.
This is a another German ROM for Charmer (MDA II Compact).
Thanks to gullum and vlodeck for the base ROMs and the permission to re-cook.
see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323979
Also thanks to mschmitz for the idea, the work he put into his German ROM - see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142, for providing the link to the “how-to translate” and for inspiring me to cook the “perfect” ROM (at least for my purposes).
My idea/goal is to gain as much Memory as possible by keeping ROM small as Charmer gets remarkable slower if usable MEM goes below 15MB.
Future Plans:
This ROM: I will try to get it stable and "entirely" German. Thereafter:
New ROM: I plan to cook a slim “base” ROM and let the user decide what to install (e.g. only “Tastatur” installed, rest can be de-installed by user).
This is the first stable version as I did not publish Beta 1 – 2 due to unsolved items (that are solved now in this beta 3).
Now what’s the difference to vlodecks English and mschmitz German ROM:
I implemented “real” German Inputs, so all English versions all DLLs have been removed to save space (e.g. in mschmitz ROM you will have “Keyboard” and “Tastatur” which causes selection troubles).
Input Method Selection therefore does not require “tricks” anymore and works like expected. I anyways included IM Selector (see below).
Following Programs are NOT included in my ROM compared to vlodeck and mschmitz:
- Some Themes:
Black Light.tsk
Black Satin.tsk
Wm_black2.tsk
- Ringtone: Ring-WindowsMobile .wma
- Some Freeware (download and install it if you need it)
Call Firewall
Group SMS Application
Jeodek Java
WM5torage
PHM Regedit (as Taskmanager provides the best Registry Editor I know)
- VoIP (Voice over IP)
If you need VoIP you will find a Folder “Voice over IP” in RAR File. Simply install both cab Files and you have VoIP – will take about 2MB space.
Programs that ARE INCLUDED in ROM:
- All German Inputs (removed all english DLLs)
- pBar (new Version 1.5 iso 1.4 like in Vlodecks), good Task manager with battery monitor, etc
- kbdddr.dll (Charmer kbddrv as Vlodeck uses Prophet)
- allblack.tsk: (This is a black Theme which also removes „WM6 Shiny/Glossy bars”, so this is a real flat black theme, e.g. use for iPhone Skin)
- PPCPIMBackup (new Version). Backup your Contacts, Phonelist, SMS, etc..
- IM Selector (You can choose a an input method that is Standard after Soft reboot. Standard is now “Tastatur”)
- Phonepad (Intellipad) GER/ENG only, I removed all other Languages (like Greek to save space)
- wince.nls (exchanged from Prophet Version to Charmer Version – Needed for ActiveSync over MS Exchange Server)
- MMS Templates translated to German
- Icons for Program Folders
- Filedialog changer
- Task Manger by dotfred (including a Registry Editor)
How to:
My checklist how to flash your Charmer to WM6 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363882
Thereafter be sure to READ vlodecks HowTo and see screenshots of (english version) WM6 for Charmer!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323979
You will also find a working ROM to flash back to WM5 here.
ATTENTION:
It may happen get an error (like: cannot replace file, maybe in use, or similar)after running "Upgrade_ROM.bat".
No worries, in this case copy "EnableRapi.cab" and "Cert_SPCS.cab" to your device if not allready there and install them by clicking on it in File Explorer. Then re-run "Upgrade_ROM.bat" and it should work.
On my Charmer the ROM is stable without any problems. If you crash your device, its YOUR fault and own responsibility.
Please do not ask how to flash a ROM or where to find ROMs or programs, etc in this thread, see links above. If you are not sure what you do, its better not to do it.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Have fun

New Version Beta 3.2 is out.
Download Version Beta 3.2 at: http://www.file-upload.net/download-1113151/Charmer_Touch_GER_Ridingshark_Beta_3.2.rar.html
Pass is: wm6
ATTENTION – UPGRADE INFORMATION GENERAL and when you flash my ROM for the first time:
(German: ACHTUNG: Bei jedem UPGRADE und wenn Du mein ROM das erste mal auf Dein Gerät spielst).
Do not forget to Flash back to WM5 before you upgrade from another WM6 Version and read the HOW-TOs!!.
Speicherkarte/Storage Card Info - Wichtig: For System Compatibility to english Versions the "Speicherkarte" is called Storage Card in my ROM (as we often switch/test from english to German versions and v.v).
If you flash from a German WM5 ROM, you might have problems after restoring your personal data as "Speicherkarte" is named "Storage Card" (e.g. Installed Programs, etc.).
To solve this you can edit this registry item:
go to Taskmanager/RegEdit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory] and change "Folder"="Storage Card" to: "Folder"="Speicherkarte".
But be carefull: If everything worked OK for you with "Storage Card" (e.g. you had an english version before) and you rename "Storage Card" to "Speicherkarte" later on, you also have to change all Registry References (Installed Programs, etc.) and Shortcuts to "Speicherkarte"!!
ATTENTION – UPGRADE INFORMATION FROM MY PREVIOUS BETA VERSION 3.0 (3) or 3.1:
(German: ACHTUNG: NUR wenn Du schon mein ROM 3.0 oder 3.1 auf Deinem Gerät hast).
An GERMAN upgrade Guide is enclosed with the RAR File (“Upgrade Anleitung WM6 ROM Beta 3.2.pdf”). Please read (Bitte unbedingt lesen).
There is one error in this file: When deleteing the COMM Destinations in my file you should go to "HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations" not to "HKCU\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations". This is important, if you have german and english COMM Info, you will have Problems setting up a Connection.

- fixed SMS and WebMail bug (text was vertical or no body at all)

- added Filedialog changer.
- added Task Manger by "dotfred" (including a better Registry Editor)

Changes Version 3.1
- Cube is working now (one wrong Registry entry detected)

- All Settings reported by “Staubsauger” translated to German
- Folder “My Documents/TEMPLATES” removed, only “My Documents/VORLAGEN” will be there.
- Folder “Office Mobile” only once in “Startmenu/Programme” (Attn Staubsauger: The “Microsoft Office” Folder is from your Restore, I think – delete manually)
- Wireless Service Monitor back to ROM (as this is required for SDIO Wireless, also exists in WM5 – T-Mobile ROM)
- Links für Messenger und WLMLauncher added
- replaced German “folderview.exe” and lnk (in “\Windows” directory) - Displays the “Programme” Folder. Original HTC displayed wrong folder
- added settings.exe and lnk (in “\Windows” directory) - Displays the “Einstellungen” Panel
- removed WM5Torage. (install if you need, I dont)
wow great a new release. i am very happy, that in this release are non-usual-programs like wifi, voip, etc deleted to save memory. GREAT.
But is there also a new Build of Windows? Maybe you can cook it? Thanks anyways for the new release
Yummie, great work, ridingshark!
Excellent ROM without to much of the 'senseless' stuff in it!
Looking forward to your "base"-ROM!
@ridingshark:
Some "bugs"...
It seems that the 'Touch Cube' doesn't work! The Cube can't be activate by draging from top bar straight to the bottom but sometimes by touching one of the Softbuttons the Cube activates itself!
There are two Office-folders ('Microsoft Office' & 'Office Mobile')
There are still some non-german system-parts
[Start-Einstellungen-Persönlich-Telefon-PIN2 & More]
[Start-Einstellungen-Persönlich-Tasten-Lock]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Bluetooth-FTP]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-GPRS Settings]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Network Wizard]
[Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-Wireless LAN] (Is this feature really necessary?)
[Start-Programme-Hilfe]
[Start-Programme-Kalendar] --> should better be Kalender
Anyway, great work!!!

Hello Staubsauger *g*
Thanks for inputs. Strange, did not have any problems with Cube.
After hardreset i tested this, slided down and it started. I have it disabled in my Charmer (no need), but it should work.
Will check.
Thanks
Great work, best rom I think
But, I have the same problem with cube like staubsauger said. :/

OK, think i have found the problem.
A bugfixed and extended version beta 3.1 for all above will come next week latest (hope)
Regards R
Very nice to hear this
Wish you best luck for the next version and hope it comes soon
German part:
Irgendwie verwundernd, dass man in nem Thread über ne deutsche Firmware in englisch schreibt, oder nicht?! ^^
Schön zu hören dass du an ner neuen Version arbeitest. Wünsch dir viel Glück für die nächste Beta, freu mich schon auf das ultimative Flash
*** german part included 'cause my not soo good english knownledgement
Yeah!!!
@ ridingshark: Great work!
Just a few things:
Using SKTools 4, I found one wrong link (it is a ROM-File, so no chance for me to correct it): "\Windows\Start Clean.lnk" referes to "\Program Files\Startclean\startclean.exe" instead to "\Windows\StartClean.exe". (see screenshot_1.jpg)
At the "Telefon"-screen there is "Contacts" instead of "Kontakte" (see screenshot_2.jpg) and the "Smart-Dialing-Options" are still non german (see screenshot_3.jpg)
btw: How long did it took you to cook this ROM? I would love to cook my own ROM but i haven't enough time to test, modify, test again, modify again, aso -> so i hope, that you will cook the ultimate german ROM for Charmer!
Some problems...
USB charging is not working
Time and date of text messages are not displayed correctly, the message body itself is alright

Thats weird...
Strange.
1) USB Charging: After First use (Hard reset) please go to "\Windows" and Start "XDADev_BatFix.exe". This has to be done only once after Hardreset.
Reset and it will work
2) Will check what happened with Textmessages and try to post a bugfix until next revision.
Regards and sorry for troubles.
Hi there!
First of all: Great great work of yours!
I experience 2 kind of problems:
E-Mails (push, exchange, pop accounts) show no message body, only headers, recipients & attachments (though u can't open them)...
When retrieving data (mails, internet, active sync) the sessions don't end automatically, u always have to cancel them manually.
Does anyone struggle with the same stuff ?
Cheers, gustox
Hi gustox!
I also just found out, that email-accounts in p.outlook are not working correctly.
In fact, no message-body when opening a downloaded email (see screenshot_1 & screenshot_2).
(btw: YES, there IS a content in the mail shown at the screenshots!)
Don't see a problem with not-self-stopping-sessions! What do you mean exactly? The GPRS/EDGE connection? - IMO they never should end automatically, 'cause you're wasting data-volume (this shouldn't be really a problem) and there's no need for stopping it anyway.

Hello Guys, i dont know the heck what the problem is, i recooked all and no change for that. Did you use another German ROM before (e.g. mschmitz( and did you have similar problems?
Please report
thanks

Every 5-10 minutes it starts an internet connection just by itself.
I noticed it in the morning when the data session was like 7 hours or so!
Don't know why...active sync config is :
main time check: every 2 hrs
side time check: manually
GMX Account check: manually
Strange.
@ ridingshark:
That's my first wm6 rom.
Previous rom: TMobile Austria AKU2_0_Update AUT
cheers, gustox
@ gustox:
Have you checked the settings for HTCHOME-Weather? Maybe this is the reason for connecting every 5-10 minutes!?
@ ridingshark:
I tried several ROMS (vlodeck's & mschmitz') but never had similar problems. I think the main problem is with the "html-interface" of p.outlook.
Creating a new email, the message-body indicates a hyperlink to "Inbox:ReadBody editmsg" (screenshot_1 & screenshot_2). Following this hyperlink it creates an Error-message (screenshot_3).
Obviously this is the key!

PROPHET DIAMOND
===== Core 5.2.20226 Build 20226.1.3.0 Clean and UC =====

- .NET Compact Framework 2.0.7045.0
- HTC Home
- Office Mobile 6.1
- Office Note
- Windows Media Player 10.3 Build 19214
- HTC Sim Manager for Pocket PC v6.47

- Mode SMS (change message display on PPC)
- Network Wizard for PocketPC v1.0 (Build 29982.1.0.1.7) (support Indonesian GSM for setting GPRS configuration)
- Added HTC Diamond Green (as seen in attachment)
Download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pogm4xzyimg
Fix: download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jotctzw0nej
Clean version 2:
1. Remove HTC Home
2. Remove onenote
3. Net compact framework v3.5
4. fixed calendar.lnk
Download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dg5nl9bimmm
The different between this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406074
is just about UC and HTC Home, right? Or anythings else.
HTC Home is exist on Sonblack ROM.
Added UC and cleaning some soft such as:
- AdvancedConfig
- ClearTemp
- Task Manager
- PIMBackup
- SynchroTime
- Total Commander
- WKTask
- BatteryStatus
Added HTC Diamond Green.tsk and modify operatorname for Indonesian GSM ops
Some of the soft can be installed on Extended_ROM (I installed Cloudyfa unhide ROM and now can see and even can install on those Extended_ROM)
The Storage Memory become 52MB plus 9.93MB Extended_ROM.
Disadvantage are; not as fast as Dioxda2 ROM and netcf still version 2 (can be upgrade to 3.5 also)
Actually the modif is for muy purpose, but I am sharing if somebody interested or want to remodif again.
Thank's to Sonblack (PDAViet) for the ROM
Upps:
Forget to notify that this base ROM is complete on term of setting from the beginning ops (Stylus operation, Time, Password, and email setting)
What is the difference between PDAViet version (Sonblack) and yours. I am already using Sonblack's rom. There is a problem with the Windows Live and Messenger in Sonblack's rom. You can't set "Sign in as" in Messenger. Also default camera application gives an error "Unable to enter the Picture Theme mode" when you try to use Picture Theme mode. Another bug is, there is a little black bar just above 2 on the keypad.
What did you remove or add to this rom? Did you repair any bugs?
Very fast rom indeed... I'am not sure if it's faster than 19214
Thanks for your contribution !!
As a matter of fact, I did tried this rom (Sinblack's 20226) from the very beginning......
its performance is a bit weired ( lag.... I felt that),
Is it very fast and stable now since you had cleaned it?
Yep,
Picture theme is missing and the little black bar just above 2 on the keypad still exist.
I install on Dopod 818Pro (G3), for speed, still below dioxda2 ROM, but for stability still okay (I put almost 50 additional softs)
Will inform you next morning (now is night in my City) and I am ready to go home.
Ps:
Could anybody help for solving 2 kind of bug mention above?

I was cleaning Windows Live in this ROM, for picture theme mode, you just need to copy this file (Birthday.gif, attached) on /My Documents/Templates folder.
Still working the other.
Do you want to use network wizard optimally?
Put new on the registry:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
new key such as:
xxxyy and the value of the Brand of your GSM operator
where xxx is MCC and yy is MNC (Five digit number)
The operator code can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
It will customize your GPRS setting (and may be more??)

I am using "[POWER_Button_FIX + U.C.] ~V.1b and V.1c ~ Very Fast WM6.1(19214-PV)...(No Hardspl ?)" 1c version now. It has the same Picture Theme problem.
The attachment you've sent is a jpg file and copying it to My Documents\Templates does not solve the problem. But... if you copy Birthday.gif (which is a system file and most probably it will be invisible as far as I know) from \Windows folder to \My Documents\Templates the problem will be solved.
Thanks for the advice...
p.s. You can also copy other .gif template pictures.

What do you mean?
You mean you can change the left and right side (below) with softkey?
I can change almost anything with softkey, but for opening program you should go to today screen left and right side below.
Or did you install any calendar soft such as thumbcal, because sometime it replace original calendar.
o if you try to configure softkey with calendar - it was not there.
if you try to copy calendar from \windows to \windows\start menue\programs it`s not possible.
i need on the left softkey calendar - like other roms.
all other thinks work perfekt
stupsi
Your calendar is on Start menu, Move to start program
1. Open Start, Settings, Personal, click Menu
2. Uncheck calendar there
3. Close (click OK)
Go to softkey, its there now.

Im currently working on a flash application that displays the Manila 3D weather animations.
The first idea was to have that on M2D, but it prooved impossible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471461
To use this EXE you'll need Flash 7 (lite 3 FINAL will work too, but you'll need to install flash 7 first) and a internet connection (PC sync or GPRS/3G).
The download is quite large (17mb) because of the animations, so I wasnt able to post it here, you have the download from the link below.
In future updates you'll only need to update the main EXE or the data files, so they will be less than 1mb and so, posted here.
I'd like to thank Rumball for giving me permission to use his animations and The_hesham for pushing this idea.
I still need to find a tool to force the internet connection, if there isnt one active already, and obviously add this as a option on the settings.
One thing that always made me some confusion in M2D, and I think it would be nice to implement, if you last updated the weather the day before or two days ago, it should show the actual current day result and simply remove the last days that doesnt know the variables of.
Mini-FAQ:
-----------
Got a wider screen and two white stripes appear?
Unfortunatly the tool I use to make the EXE files only allows qvga and vga screen sizes... If you know another SWF>EXE tool that fixes this, let me know.
Got different slightly results in M2D and this app?
The m2d conversion from Farenheight to celsius is slightly incorrect... Only the farenheight measure is recorded on the registry, so if you choose celsius, m2d makes this conversion: (farenheight - 32) / 1.8 = celsius
But if the result is, for example, between 12.1 or 12.9 the value shown is always 12º. My conversion rounds up anything above 0.5 to +1.0. I think thats the way it should be. And thats why you get different results in M2D and this app.
The animation is really slow...
Its basicly 20-40 PNG files inside each flash swf file, thats why its so heavy (16mb), if it was all vectorial, like the TEMPUS plugin, it would only be less than 1mb, the png sequence is also slow on the display, depends on you free RAM and video driver.
It was made for 400mhz or better machines, flash is still slow in the current CPUs, maybe in the future... :/
Its not really working for me.
Check all items in the TO USE list. The first non-official release of Flash lite 3 is buggy and wont work! The final will.
Can I translate it in my language?
Sure, the DATA.TXT is already (mostly) translated in Portuguese, Romanian and Italian here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471461
You have some more instruction on the end of this post.
Can I make other icon animations or wallpapers?
Sure, create a theme, its a background wallpaper and animated icons. The instructions are in the end of this post.
Can I use this as a today plugin?
Not yet, when its finished I'll release the sourcode and (with the help of APBilbo) make a THROTTLE LAUNCHER version.
Got a error on the results...
The update sometimes fails, just reload/re-update or cancel/re-open things, sorry about that...
I cant see the icons...
Roms in other languages have different names for the SD card and Program files. Check if the path on the settings is the same as yours. Change it accordingly.
I cant see any words...
This is a reaaaaally smart bug from me... I didnt antecipated that ppl with the above problem couldnt read the text to change the text varibles path. :/
You can either press the bottom-right grey button and then the one that appears directly on top of that one... that opens the settings area. Now change the path on the top text area and press the OK button.
Or.. thru the registry, with Resco explorer or any other registry tool here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\W3D\Settings\PATH
I cant see anything!
Either your Pocket pc is on stand-by, in that case simply press the power button. Or your eyes are closed, in wich case you cant really read my advice to open them...
My City is not on the list.
- Go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/ajax-functions/favoriteCities.asp?region=EUR&country=UK
Change the end of the link to your country, PT=Portugal, UK=United Kingdom, ES=Spain, etc...
- ...OR, just click in http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 , then write down you "city, country", press GO and it shows your code in the middle of the ADDRESS BAR link.
- Now send me the code (post here or send me by email).
- Add it manually to your cities with the help of the mighty flash keyboard.
Whats new:
-------------
- Fixed the non-WWE bug to see the settings button.
- Added "last updated on" info.
- Added (semi-)Smart* day Weather (tells what day TODAY is)
- Fixed minor coding bugs
- Added some more cities to the online database.
Replace the attached file on the first post to update.
To use:
--------
- Install Flash 7 (if you dont have it already): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
- Download the 17mb zip below.
- Extract and place all the files inside on your /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D and create a shortcut for the EXE (with resco explorer or something). This path can be changed in the settings menu.
- Update the latest files attached here.
- If the 6th image on this post appears on you, its the online update that went wrong, just press UPDATE NOW (make sure you have an existing internet connection already running).
To do:
--------
- Create a update error loop, if the online values arent correctly received.
- Create internet connection + new setting to disable this.
- Convert fscommands to trottle launcher version and release the source-code.
Creating Themes:
--------------------
- Icons must be individual swf files, exported as flash 7, must have the same name as the ones on the "current_theme" folder, 240x200 px size and (this is important) have in the last frame the LABEL parado with the CODE stop();. The icon theme's name is the name of the folder. I added a animation example attached to this post.
- Wallpapers are jpg's in 240x295 px saved in standart enconding, progressive enconding will not appear on flash, this is a old flash bug. They must be on the same folder as the icons.
If you have a VGA or any other sized screen, you can change the JPG size to whatever fits you best.
- The language file data.txt can be renamed to data_sp.txt (as spanish, for example) or any other name you'd like, just remenber to change it on the settings too. I added the Portuguese language as an example also.
Note that the first variable doesnt have the & character and that they all finish with &END, this is normal.
If you have a special character that doesnt appear, tell me what it is, so that I can embebbed it into the app.

Hi, twolf !
Move to this topic then.
Thanks for Great job !!
One question, how can I get it works on WQVGA (omnia)? (It actually works, but not full screen. It has white background at the top and bottom of the screen)
Thanks.
Unfortunately the tool I use to make the EXE files only allow qvga and vga screen sizes...

There's currently no "Choose city" interface like in M2D, so you will need yo know your city code, see it here:
- Go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/...EUR&country=UK
- Change the end of the link to your country (US users only need a 5-digit area code), PT=Portugal etc...

- The "last updated on" text doesnt make the timed account, it just tells at what time was updated. Not sure if I'll leave this as it is, since it will be -a lot- of work for a little detail
- Smart today weather (shows the correct daily weather, no matter how long on the week you last updated).
- Fix the icon package (the renamed 8 files).
- Create internet connection + new setting to disable this.
- Create a update error loop, if the online values arent correcly received.

Sorry, I had some problems with my phone and now the usb port is dead...
I'll send you the new exe in a couple of hours.
This project is on hold at the moment, as my Nike just died.
I cant test whatever I change, so if anyone wants the FLA source-code, Ill post it on the first post.
Sorry...
Hi,
very nice app !!!! but it doesn't work for my htc cruise/polaris. In attach the screens with the log:
1. it diplays in all fields: "undefined"
2. the right/left keys aren't displaied.
I've done:
1. install flash 7 for ppc
2.unzip the app.
3. create the dir W3D in 'SD/program files/...'
4. copy in 'SD/program files/W3D' the unzipped files
5. create a ".lnk" in windows/start menu/programs to the exe of the app
6. active an internet connection
7. lunch the app
8. try to connect to internet but without success !!!
9. the result is in attach.
thx for the help.....
This appears to be a simple path error, see what is the name of your storage card on the file explorer, that should be it.
Notice that the time variables are there, but he cant find the icons or text data file.
Yes...i've changed the name, in the path, of my sd...(as you can see in the picture) but there is always the problem......

Olá twolf.
Esta app que desenvolveste apenas se destina a HTCs ou pode ser usada noutros PDAs?
Hi twolf.
This app you've developed is for HTCs only, or it can be used on other PDAs?

I did saw it, but I dont know if its well written...
There could be missing a character or have a special character with an accent like á ò ú...
Or "program files" could be "programmes" or something like that.
Could you send a printscreen of the full path in the file explorer app?
Or try to place the datafile in the root's memory so it would just be like: \data.txt
and them make the full path on the settings be just \
This way the icons still wont appear, but the names will.
And you could see that it must be a path error somehow.

Any Windows Mobile pds with Flash 7 and internet access, havent tested it on WM2003...
Great,does it supports Chinese Language now?
Hmmm... Not yet, sorry.
Its just a matter of adding a chinese font swap to the text areas.
I'll have to do that last, since the export will be muuuuuch slower after.
But at the moment all my projects are stopped, as explained on my sig.
Hi again twolf.
I've installed the app but i'm not seing any icons, wallpaper,and text in the butttons...
I can add cities and see the temps.
No data.txt is generated.
PS: Sorry... Theres a data.txt in W3D_SE folder...
It's Storage Card\Program Files\W3D\W3D_SE
Its not generated automaticly, you have to copy the files manually to the folder you created.
By default it should be in Storage card\Program files\W3D but you can put them wherever you want, just edit that in the settings area.
You can place the EXE there too, but thats not mandatory.
---edit---
I see now that my directions were misleading, I changed that from the first post, sorry.
It's working!
Thanks... The problem was that i was extracting the W3D_SE folder in W3D when i should extract only the content.
By the way, it's great!
I uploaded a new zip, with clearer instructions.
This is the print screen....thx for your help...

Yes, your path is correct.
JonasSavimbi made me notice something I mislead ppl with the older zip, your W3D folder should have the data.txt, wall.jpg and icons folder inside. Not another W3d_SE folder.
Sorry about that.
