Title: Remove Nokia Weather
Post by: matthew on March 14, 2014, 12:04:00 am

i never thought to post this as there were no requests, but if anyone wants to "uninstall" Nokia's useless Weather:

First, your device must be hacked so go to this thread if you aren't already on hacked firmware:
S^3/Anna/Belle/Belle Refresh/Belle FP1 go here (http://sdf.allstarsoftware.co.uk/symbian3-modding/(tutorial)hack-symbian-without-flashing-n8-c7-c6-01-500-x7-e6/).
Belle FP2 Go here (http://sdf.allstarsoftware.co.uk/symbian3-modding/hack-fp2-devices-without-flash-using-safemanager-!!/).

Second, enable Open4All in ROMPatcher+, go into X-plore and open Menu\Tools\Configuration and enable showing all files/folders

Third, delete these files:
To eliminate the Weather app
C:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\Sweat_reg.r*
C:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\Sweat_reg.rsc
C:\private\20029b71 <- Delete this folder
C:\private\2002AC7F\import\weatherservice.xml
C:\resource\apps\Sweat.mif
C:\resource\apps\Sweat.r*
C:\resource\apps\Sweat.rsc
C:\resource\qt\plugins\serviceframework_weatherplugin.qtplugin
C:\sys\bin\serviceframework_weatherplugin.dll
C:\sys\bin\Sweat.exe
C:\sys\hash\serviceframework_weatherplugin.dll
C:\sys\hash\Sweat.exe

To eliminate the Weather widgets
C:\Private\200159c0\themes\53699050\270513751\537110860 <- Delete this folder
C:\Private\200159c0\themes\53699050\270513751\537110862 <- Delete this folder
C:\Private\200159c0\themes\53699050\270513751\537110863 <- Delete this folder

Lastly, kill the background weather update service by utilising iChris701's mod found here:

There can't be more RAM - just more available. If an app is useless and uses data, battery and RAM, i would want it gone regardless of how much of each of those resources i had.
