Finally! I found it! Check this out everyone, I might fork this to make it work a bit better for my plans but it's pretty incredible already. I have it running on Maxathon browser in fullscreen and it looks very good!
I'm not sure about how it's going to update, etc; throughout the day but this could also be fixed.
https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard
The page to use it is http://kindle.hrincar.eu/weather/ and it's open-source! So sweet.
Possible improvements:
1. Icons for me are showing ??? so it's not loading something (Maxathon Browser)
2. I'd like to modify the layout or have another layout with a large time (perhaps only 1,2, or 5 minute updates or something)
3. Ability to use a chart for the weather instead of 3 hour blocks (3 day chart taking the whole horizontal section, perhaps a smaller option too)
4. SOLVED, It's refreshing every 30 minutes. Perhaps this could be selectable (I'm not sure if it's refreshing, so perhaps a partial refresh somehow)

Wow! Looks pretty good although I, too, get no icons. I'll need to look at the HTML and the documentation to try and sort that out. Would also prefer am/pm time. What is really needed is to localize the entire thing before it disappears. I like my weather widget app, but this is a different thing altogether.
With Opera Mobile the URL for the weather display (as opposed to the dashboard) can be added to speed dial or the homescreen.
Now for some tinkering

Awesome, someone else is still around! Ya, with this awesome start we can make these Nooks look really good. I am good at expanding code, not so much writing from scratch...so this is perfect I'm imagining like a bunch of options etc. AND it can be self hosted
The maintainer emailed me after my issue, and it appears like the css is calling a custom font, so perhaps our Nooks can't load the custom font. If we could put the font on the device directly, and then use that; perhaps it might work...

Yeah, my heart sank a little when I saw all the css in the page. When I was working with HTML on a regular basis, I sort of pre-dated the big push to css, so never learned much except tinkering on the margins by trial and error. Firefox can resolve the css url for the font on my PC and Opera Mobile is generally pretty good at css, but it's not clear where the info is coming from. If it's an actual font call, then we are SOL, I think. The only way to add a font to the NST, according to my understanding, is replace one of the existing fonts with the new font renamed as the old font (gee...that syntax is awful...).
The font he is using is the same one I use for the NST Weather Widget app so I already have it on my device, but its not with the rest of the fonts and is not seen by the system. It's called by Minimalistic Text to create the widget condition icons (since it is actually a font). Not sure if the css could be adapted to a situation like that.
Hmm...looks harder than I had hoped.
Edit: so here's a quote from the weather icon font creator on implementing:
To use the Weather Icons, place the main CSS files in your CSS directory, and the font files in a "font" directory on the same folder level as the CSS director. Once you've done that, all you need to do to reference an icon in your HTML is type <i class="wi wi-night-sleet"></i>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Therefore, if the HTML page were to be localized, and hence the css references changed, perhaps it would be possible to simply point to a local folder containing the font.
Figured it out! I just have to map each reference to the specific icon in the folder here https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-underground-icons/tree/master/dist/icons
So, I'll have to test it, and then send him a pull request for 'Nook mode', however I have to learn how to do a pull request and how to use git lol. Here's the relevant information:
Image Usage Instructions
If you just want to use the image files directly, and not use the CSS file you can just copy over the images directly from the dist/icons folder. See the Icon Key below to see which icons will be used.

Hello!
I would like to make som changes to the preinnstalled homecreen on my HTC s730, but i don't know how. I like it as it is now, but the weather service and the top ten person i would like to cut away. Somebody who know how I can do that? Is it possible to do other changes on it too?
Yeah, theres an XML file in the windows dir I believe of the phone that you can edit and make changes too, I added the most used programs under my calander while I try to find something for that contacts bit I never use.
There was another thread where people were posting pics of what they had done and had more tips, but essentially you just edit that xml. I dont recall the name for sure but it was something like HTChome.xml or something like that, not at home ATM or I would be of more use lol...
the files have the suffix .home.xml

How did you do that? When I try to find the windows folder (via active sync) It won't show up on my pc screen, but when i use the HTC i fid the folder. How come is that? I can find the folder Home, with the preinnstalled windows homescreen bur not the HTC homescreen. It seems like it's not visible(?).

Thanx
Now I've got another problem. Because the weather service and the top ten person is defined in the following file in reg. {B0C8Ac4B-CddC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171}, but this file is just a path to another file HTCHome.dll. My problem here is that I can't find the file HTCHome.dll. I just find a bunch of HTCHome.dll files. All of them has an ending of *.mui. Like HTCHome.dll.0809.mui. and I can't open them eather. Somebody knows what to do?
And thanx for the help from everybody so far
Anybody please? I'm pretty green in this
Where are you seeing those? Are you sure your in the right section of the phones file system for the home screens?
Connect through active sync, then open "My window's based device" then go into application data, then Home and mine are all in there as .xml

I have found the file HTC.home.xls and opend it, inside the xml document I find this line of code:
<plugin clsid="{B0C8AC4B-CDDC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171}" name="HTCHome" height="100" />
I have managed to fint out (at least I think so) that it is this plugin who shows the clock, the weaterservice and the top ten persons. When I found the B0C8AC4B-CDDC-4010-AAEB-076A2A6EB171} in regedit the value of this key is HTCHome.dll. When i search the whole phone for this dll file i can't find the spesific file, just a bunch of "lookalikes" like HTCHome.dll.0809.mui. This file is located in the windows directory with 5 dll files like this one, but with different numbers at the end. (ex. *.dll.041D.mui and so on). Or am I totally wrong here? Maybe it's a easier way to do this? (Make the weater service and top ten in the homescreen disappear).

Good work. Each CLSID is a different plugin. Each value nested within the CLSID is a modifier. If you want, say... the Most Recently Used items on your HTC home screen... take a look at the contents of one of the .home.xml files that has the MRU listed... and copy out the whole portion of the file that contains the information. They're even indented.

Aha, this is really good to know =)
But what to do when I want to remove something in a plug in, is that possible at all? In the plug in i talked about in my last post, there is three functions.
Number one shows the clock and makes it easier to acsess the alarm setting directly (without have to do so via configuration -> clock and alarm),
number two is the HTC Home weather service
and number three is favourite persons.
I wan't to remove the two last functions in this plug in.

It's quite possible that there is no way to only display parts of the plugin... as this function would have to be programmed into the plugin itself.
Take a look at the other plugins... like the one that shows appointments... you will see that there are portions labeled "text" which is the place where the text would be... you could... in essence... remove this part and have it not display text, but the plugin would still be present.
I hate to say it... but without HTC having programmed a solution to handle your request... you're better off using Facade.

Okai, I just have to live with it the hehe.
I have finally found out how to use fascade in i properly way. I actually don't need to use the default fascade homescreen (who by the way is quite terrible), but I can just use the plug ins. Is there by the way any clock plug in (maybe in fascade?) who makes it possible to set the alarm easy without going thru configuration? If there is, I can just remove the whole plug in in HTCHome and replace it with this.
Hi..nice to see some Homescreen-Interested guys here.
First;
The HTC-Live Homescreen-Plugin is limited to his Functions (Time,Weather,Favs) and not customizeable, there maybe a solution to edit some images like Weather-Icons or the Time-Font,thats all...not like his big Brother on HTC Touch(better to configure,two more Functions, MRU and MusicPlugin).
Sorry.
You can add and move any plugin on your Phone by editing the XML, but dont ask me for an HowTo,please...look into the other xxx.home.xml, it is really easy to customize the HomeScreen.
Some Infos:
The Plugin itself is in /Windows/HTCHome.dll, the .mui Files are LanguageFiles, you can modify and rename them to translate the plugin into your own Language, the HH_WEATHER_01-44.png and all the other HH_blabla...png files are the Images for the Clock,WeatherIcons...,
Happy editing...

Me too, I wanted to remove those two services. I took some fiddling with the xml-file and several plugins, but I managed to make something that looks quite like the Htc Home screen but has just the functionality I want.
Big other advantage is that I now suffer a lot less of the famous memory leaks.

New thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3508634
I have done extensive searching here and on google and cannot find this answer. I hope somebody here has a clue how to accomplish this.
I want Opera Mobile to render the correct font as defined in the website author's CSS when I view a web page. I have found information on how to install Opera fonts, and I've gotten this to work, but only for the Generic Font Family settings.
Here is what is happening...
1. Using Opera 9.5, build 15613
2. Installed Microsoft's "web fonts" to \Windows AND \Windows\Fonts
3. When installed to \Windows, WM6.1 recognizes new fonts. If I go into Word, for example, I see all the fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia, Verdana, etc.)
4. When I go into Opera, I can go into the opera:config and change the "CSS Generic Font Family" and "Fonts" settings to get it to use an alternate font. As an example, I installed Consolas from Vista because it looks better than Courier New and when I changed monospace and Form.Text to Consolas, it worked perfectly. Note: this only worked after making a copy of all the fonts into the \Windows\Fonts folder, so that is where Opera looks, apparently.
5. When I go to a website that I KNOW uses Georgia as its primary font (can verify on desktop browser), the entire site is rendered still as Tahoma. This is very easy to spot because Georgia is a very different looking font than Tahoma.
6. When I go into a text field on this site, it uses Consolas instead of Courier New, as expected, because the site does not specify a font for textboxes. But this verifies that Opera is seeing the alternate fonts, just choosing not to use them when rendering the sites.
Is it possible to get Opera to load the font specified in the author's CSS file? If so, how?
What else I've tried:
1. "Author Display Mode" and "User Display Mode" - disabling User Fonts and Colors and User CSS in BOTH spots.
2. Soft reset
Hi, I am looking for an application which simply shows HTML pages(local or remote) on home-screen(widget) and refreshes itself in specific time intervals.
It would be great for people, who knows how to work with javascript but doesnt know java and it would be very useful and simpler to create RSS-like widgets with it.
Any suggestion? Thank you.
I'm looking for something similar that will pull this image into a widget on my homescreen:

Success! Use "Webcam Widget" in the Android Market.
Then, you can copy the URL and resize the widget with LauncherPro!
Now I have Day 1 Convective Outlooks, Day 1 Storm Reports, Day 1 Watches/Warnings and the local news live Doppler Screen grab (added the widget four times) on one my homescreens!

not only image files...
I have both DocumentsToGo, and QuickOffice on my G-Tab. DocsToGo will let you open a Word Doc, but when you go to edit, it opens a new edit dialog with the previous sentence (at most) visible. It does not seem to allow you to edit many formatting options, and I can't see any way to use it to insert an image file into a document. QuickOffice lets you edit inline, but otherwise seems to have the same limitations.
Is there a "complete" word processing program for the G-Tab that will let me do some formatting and insert pictures, as well as produce a .DOC or .DOCX compatible file?
Is there some way to setup Google Docs like this, and have it be available if I don't have a connection (maybe through dropbox)?
TIA!
I'm using the QuickOffice HD from the Notion Ink Adam and it works great!
It's available via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928832
Right now, the current version lets you connect to Google Docs and both edit AND create new documents (Word, Excel, PPT) as well as read PDFs
You could easily open a document up and re-save it internal to your gTablet for offline use -- or as you suggest use Dropbox to keep a local folder synced up for offline use...
Google only recently added support for the XML office files to GDocs -- so creation of new documents in those formats isn't natively supported in this version (but may be available in a newer version of QuickOffice HD I suppose)
Long Pressing in a Word document brings up a dialog with the following options:
- Add Image from Gallery
- Add Image from Camera
- Select Text
- Input Method
You can also change Fonts (inc. set Bold, Underline, Italic, etc), Alignment, Colour...
I think that just about meets your requirements (?) -- give it a try...
+1 for quickoffice tablet addition from notion ink. Works great for me!
OK, have given it a try. To begin with, I feel a little odd using it since I can't find the HD version in the market, so have to wonder if it won't up and die on me at some point.
In any event, I was able to insert and resize a picture, but couldn't find any way to select just the picture so I could try to center it. Selection handles seem a bit difficult to operate. Also could not find any way to edit my headers or footers, or to apply my document styles for chapter hearings.
Tool may support all this, but the online help isn't the greatest either. Half tempted to register and see if there have been any updates.
FWIW
The HD version is great. Use it for my college classes and I love it. Have the USB case and this and ur good to go. Being integrated with google docs and dropbox is a nice feature too

Got it, thanks. Very cool!
Wow i must say the Quickoffice HD is way better than my DocstoGo full at this moment. Wasted my money on Docstogo...
I like the ported canvas app as well.
This seems to be much better than doctogo.

Nope it's optional.

Name: Notepad
About the app:
The Office app is powerful, but its syncing features slow it down. Notepad by AppsForMe is a great app to choose if you just want to take plaintext notes without the wait. It’s also the only text editor that supports folder structures, and the look of the app makes it feel like a part of the operating system (animations included). You can also pin documents or directories to the Start screen and send documents as emails or text messages.
The app has 4.6/5 stars over 48 reviews.
“Amazing app and it does what it says without any problems. Easily the best Notepad app on the marketplace and the fastest” 5/5
“Superb. You can store email and SMS templates. It makes life a lot easier. Don't miss it.” 5/5
“Very, very, very well done. Thank you.” 5/5
Developer's notes:
I'm always looking for more feedback on Notepad. Unfortunately, I don't get a huge number of support emails, so I'm left up to my own devices to figure out what could be added or needs to be changed.
Please give the application a shot. If you like it, great! If you don't, let me know what's up (in the comments). Chances are I can do something about it. Thanks for reading!
Possible future features (not guaranteed in any way, and not listed in any particular order.)
+ change keyboard theme
+ password-protect
+ lists
+ quick folders (swipe in directory view)
+ "emtpy trash" button
+ scroll sideways on long filenames
+ "import all" to parse "backup all"/"export all"
+ "export all" -> skydrive
+ import from url (skydrive/dropbox)
+ "are you sure?" -> "ready to send?"
+ title of note title -> "document title"
+ custom-name "root"

Thank you!!!
Glad you like it!
Please let me know anything about it that seems weird or cool. I do things a lot differently than all of the other text editor applications, and I want to know what's good and what's not.
Wow really good Idea ! I have searched this for Quick Notes ( i use on the PC often the Editor ) and I would use a similiar App on the Phone ...
Thank you!!! i need this for school
simple and does what it says, good app
Notepad Suggestion
First, great Notepad app. I would just like to add a password to a note file.
Thanks!
It's good to see interest in the application! Notepad just hit 15,000 downloads today, and I'm always looking to make that number higher, so the more suggestions you guys have the better.
So far I'm seeing requests for:
(1) a new live tile, particularly for pinned documents/directories
(2) change the name of the "root" directory (to what, though, I wonder?)
(3) password-protect documents
(4) implement lists as well as documents
Anyone have any other suggestions, or want to plus-one a feature?
--AppsForMe
Guess you had missed our review. Skydrive Integration and ability to send notes as attachment.
Yes, I definitely saw your review! I actually did implement two of your suggestions (preview of content when pinned, ability to move folders).
Here's how I feel about your other requests:
First, the Windows Phone operating system prevents third-party developers (read: me) from sending email attachments. Same goes for speech-to-text.
Second, as soon as you want SkyDrive, you should just be using Office. The Office app supports either (a) local files without folders, or (b) SkyDrive files with SkyDrive folders. Goodness knows that I can never match the Office app for stability, integration, features, or UI. Plus, Notepad's other sell is that it's fast--loading notes, saving notes, navigating folders--implementing web functions would slow everything wayyyy down. I see the lack of SkyDrive as a selling point.
(Side note: Office supports sending documents as attachments. Two birds with one stone!)
Notepad for WP the best
I think the requests thus far are pretty much what is missing although it seems it's going to be an uphill battle due to OS restrictions. Installed the app last week on my Lumia and it's amazing, clean and easy to use. Keep up the good work.
I used to use this app, but it had this bug where i could not scroll to the bottom of the longer note. Has that been resloved in the meantime?
Also, I think skydrive sync is important (or even dropbox). When someone changes phones, how is he going to transfer notes?
thank you i need this apps
All the problems with long notes have been fixed.
I'm going to leave the auto-syncing between SkyDrive and the phone up to the native Office application--it does it better, faster, and more reliably than I ever could.
If you need to back up your documents, use the "backup all" feature to email yourself the text of the documents.
Hi Isaac,
Great app. I registered here just to say that, and thank you. I'm a note taking person but one that wants to keep them organize and your app is the only one that does it with ease. (I must of downloaded a dozen to try and removed..only one other did folders, the rest was just one giant list of notes).
If you're serious about taking users feedback, here are some of mine...all are minor little things that are mostly ui based and these are just my opinions. I think your application here is quite impressive so take these only to help out for those you agree with..
- replace 'root' with 'home' or 'my folders' perhaps?
- replace 'Remarks' when creating a new directory with 'Note: ' or remove the word entirely and place the remark note under the text field.
- titles of Directories and Notes become all lower-cased when viewing
- clicking the back button when in Search mode hides the keyboard only, so it requires clicking the back button again to exit the search function..this may be an OS thing I've seen and not something that can be changed unless you can find a way around this.
- add a Folders button at the bottom when in a non root directory to take you back, just like how it appears when in a note to take you back to its directory.
- when in a directory, can the word Notepad and the Directory name on top take you back to the folder list view or one folder out if in a subfolder?
- possible to allow user to choose which directory(ies) to list mango-syle to the right where they can swipe to the right and to go into that directory (sorry if this is unclear, I'm not too familiar with WP terminology yet)
- Button to empty trash when viewing trash directory. btw, how does the trash work..deletes automatically after so long?
- when viewing a file that has a long filename (and the feature is turned on), can it scroll?
- reduce space between documents filenames ..currently lists 5 before needing to scroll?
- backup all..cool feature. I would change 'Are you sure?' which sounds a little scary to something like 'Ready to Send?' btw, can you import back into Notepad? If note, perhaps call the feature 'email all' instead for now..
- when creating a new note it shows 'new document', the next screen where it ask for the file name it displays 'new note' ..just a consistence thing
- are all notes saved as txt files on the device? what if you remove the .txt? does it need to be displayed if it's automatically saving them as txt files.
- Can titles of notes and directories names be the system's accent color and turn black when choosing them? ..the reverse essentially.
- when adjusting toggle sliders in Settings, the phone wants to swipe to it's neighboring page a little too freely (btw, love all the settings you have here!)
- remove the larger 'root' when in the root directory list to gain some real estate back to see more directories and so it's not repeating perhaps?
And if you need any simple graphics help, I can help out.
I'd love to see Dropbox support with everything being saved to dropbox and loaded from dropbox. I'd even pay for a dropbox enabled version.
Can it handle long text file ?
Can it import text file from skydrive?
Can we Password lock the app or folder?
thanx
First: Thanks, Lumiame, for the excellent feedback. You've greatly extended the set of features I'm considering adding, and you've noted UI inconsistencies and confusions that I'll make sure to address in the next update.
To everyone who's commented so far: thanks for the good feedback. This quarter at my university is slower than my last quarter, so I should be able to get to work on the app.
Look for a good number of changes in the next updates.
thanks for sharing
