Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Hello Guys,
I've been doing a weather LockScreen. So this is as far i have it right now. I have a script, which takes care of all stuff using imagemagick. But i can't figure out which strings pulls the CURRENT temparature. As you can see, i can get the lowest and the highest for today. Any help would be appreciated.
And btw, does anybody know how to set -gravity with coordinates, not South,West,SouthWest and so on??

Edit: just to make clear, what i mean under a "string". Here is the one, which pulls the lowest Temp:

Below is the entire script that the yahoo weather beecon uses, that displays high, low and current temperature. Somewhere in there is the string that you are after. I am not sure where so I pasted the whole thing. I hope this helps:

Thanks, that's where i got High and low. Just can't figure out which one is for the current, tried a lot.Thanks anyway!

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

No problem, with this script does your weather seem to be updating? Mine was, but has stopped today for some reason and I can't explain why

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I got it!!!
Here is the code:
I didn't work before, gotta be some mispelling or smth.
Yes it does update, and actually with this code even better than with the yahoo QBW, With QBW it showed the wrong current temp, like the website does(yahoo). But now everything works great!

S****. You are not going to believe that. I wanted to make a screenshot for you. So i ran a script again with new size font now, and it showed the wrong Current Temp... SHOOOOOOT.
See the first one is with right temp 19C
second is what the website shows...

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

hello, how do you do LockScreen weather? thank you for your reply:)

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Well, i think i'll create a HOW TO thread tonight.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Is it possible to create .deb for it,if possible please create will be helpful to noobs like me..or any program that will do all this process automatically like web os game manager..

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

There is a script, that will do everything automatically. Moreover, you can let Alarmed execute it any time you want to. You will just need to have imagemagick installed and then Alarmed set to execute this script any time.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

great, thank you, I await it with impatience:):)

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Here is the new thread

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

this guide is great, very easy to use. one small request, I looked at the code but couldn't see where to do it.... if we wanted the temperature to appear below the weather image, and not beside it, what would we have to change?

so instead of

it would instead become

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I think that's why i created another thread. Go over there and ask your question again, so i can answer it, and ppl would also understand what are we talking about

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I am talking about the original poster, the desktop widget, not your lock screen

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I am honestly not sure how to do this, as I am not the creator of the widget and also a complete QBW noob.

The original instructions of how to install this widget were too confusing, so after understanding and testing them, I decided to write my own guide based on my own experinces.

But all I can do is tell you the easy/step by step way to follow the original guide, which is linked here:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2322

Click on this link and PM the original poster there, I'm sure he will be able to answer your question as he is the one who created this widget.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

hi guys i my flipclock stopped working, i tried the interval at 30 secs but nothing...any ideas?

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

"image not found" at the clock widget, but the wether and ip widget work
ihave mad the guide twice :S

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

If you followed the guide exactly, all the images should be in the right folder, according to the instructions. You are definitely missing a step if you get the image not found message.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Weather App/Widget on N900
 

kudos for the post, reached section 4 got the desired results so far, but @ sec 4.3 i don't get the same text in my box, see attached screenshot, any assistance required

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

worked in one shot, very clear tuto, thx!!
how can I add/change things like Ip adress(lets say I want cpu temperature or something to be displayed...

I also wanted the numbers bigger, and the background, but I'm happy :)

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Resizing is easy, just adjust the widget height and width as well as the scale (which will appear if you scroll down, set the different scales (for text/image/title etc.) at your desired level. There is a post earlier in this thread that explains how to do this.

Things like getting CPU temp to be displayed are not in my know how, as mentioned earlier, I just followed the instructions of the original HTC style flip clock and wrote an easy to understand version of the same instructions.

I'm really a QBW noob my self, so won't be able to help you display anything different, other than what's instructed in this guide.

The actual author/creator of the HTC style flip clock widget is Darkgunman, and his post is linked in the first post of my thread.

You may have to contact him for further assistance.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Weather App/Widget on N900
 

Hmm that is weird. I honestly do not know why, all I can say is, if you followed each and every step correctly then you should get the same text in the box as everyone else, I am not sure you your text is different.

All I can say is completely delete that widget and create it again from scratch, sometimes I find that these widgets bug for no apparent reason, even if you do everything right.

Rather than editing or changing the same one, I just delete it completely and re-create it from scratch following the instructions from my first post.

If this still does not solve your problem, then you will have to contact one of the creators who's threads I have linked in my first post, as they will have the knowledge of how to help you.

I just translated their work into a simple, easy to understand user guide, I am not the creator my self.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I have been able to get this widget working. Thanks to members who are keeping the device alive. You guys are doing amazing stuff!

I would like to get the city name to the left of the weather image that is shown. Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

section 3 step 6
 

i really dont know what you mean with ''advanced settings'' in section 3 step 6 i go to filebox but there is no advanced settings and also not in settings:confused: plz help

Re: section 3 step 6
 

Advanced settings is not in filebox, you only use filebox to open a text file and copy that text. Thats it.

Advanced settings is in the settings of the beecon you create.

So after you copy the text as instruced. You go back to the desktop screen, go to the option of adding new widget, click QueenBeecon and press ok

Then on this widget you just added, go to settings, once the settings window opens, look to the bottom right corner of this window, it will have an option saying advanced. Thats the one you click, this is the advanced setings option.

Follow the rest of the guide from there.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Best to post this question in the QBW for noobs thread, as they will be able to answer it better. I am a noob at this my self so can't help you there much.

Re: section 3 step 6
 

Thx :D now i can finally go further

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

hi chaithebest, had a similar prob to you only my window had different txt, so how did you solve yours, thanks in advance:(

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

hey can i get this widget in deb format ?? pls !!!!!

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Hi is it my understanding that instead to deleting the qbw_flipclock image as @ section 2.5 that i now rename it. You said you ammend the guide, where can i find the amended guide. many thanks

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

This is noob friendly, it's very easy to follow instructions, just read them carefully.

I clearly meant all 4 of the 0's that appear. I wrote that in the guide

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

I amended it in first post, you delete the qbw_flipclock.png (the one that looks like an N900) and you rename the panel.ng to qbw_flipclock.png and put it in the directory shown

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

It is not possible to get it in deb format as far as I know because it is a widget.

If someone wants to try and recreate it as an application it might be doable, I am not sure, but I definitely won't be the one to do it.

Re: [Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900
 

Ahhhh
why when i press save and run - it doesnt goes to desktop - but goes Success message and on desktop these is widget with text - no image available............
