[Tweak]Home Screen Weather Animation On/Off - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi All
hope this wasn't already posted but i have found way to switch off weather animation and keep your static wallpaper.
if you go to
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
and change "HomeWallpaperMode" from "0" to "2" you will end up having your static wallpaper but without weather animation.
0 - Weather Animation ON
1 - Animated Wallpaper
2 - Static Wallpaper and Weather Animation OFF
EDIT:
This will work until you change your wallpaper.once you do that,weather animation is back.i'll try to find solution for that.
Edit #2
I feel so dumb now.if you don't want weather animation just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it!

Thanks, I was looking for a solution for that.

I like the weather animation and was wondering if there's actually something more along the lines of the opposite of this.
What I mean is when you get the animation with the clouds going across the screen, it seems to stop if you slide across the tabs & back and the clouds disappear. I wish it was that easy to change the weather!
But I hope that makes sense - I like the animations & would be happy for them to continue moving whilst my screen is active.
Good find for those who don't though obviously!

I'm okay with all the other animations but the cloud anims just piss the crap outta me . Is it possible to leave the little animation in the center of home screen but remove all the other crap flying around?
EDIT: Ah, this was solved simply by selevting one of the static wallpapers. Thanks!
An I just gotta say, don't yall just love how tweakable the OS and all the interfaces are? Gotta love WM. Screw my old iPhone!

Yep - that's why I love this, but each to their own.
Heh heh - it's the clouds etc that I really like. I want to keep them there longer.
Again - each to their own I guess!

just curious, when it rains on the home screen, is it me or is the wall paper hidden and then slowly comes back when the wiper wipes? It's quite annoying that it goes all black and then back to red (i have the xmas theme)

Theres a cab for that ... its called dirty rain and the cab removes it so the rain is over your wallpaper...
GG

thanks, worked perfectly

Longer Animation
I also would like a longer weather animation, it looks cool. Has anyone any suggestions??
Thanks, Carlos.

very easy.
when u want to change manila wallpaper (setting> personalize) , u have 2 option:
weather wallpaper
animated wallpaper
choose animated wallpaper and then select favorite wallpaper. now u have no weather animation in home screen.
i thought so, too, but there is still a little animation, right between my location and the alarm...
I noticed that too, I dont know if you would be able to remove that without installing some modded files - thats if there is a way to completely remove the weather animations at all.
If you would like a static, non animated wallpaper on your homescreen:
on the homescreen press menu (right softkey)
then press Home Wallpaper and finally press Animated Wallpaper. This will start HTC albums with three animated wallpapers in the directory. At that point, instead of selecting one of those three wallpapers press 'Albums' (right softkey), go to My Device or Storage Card and browse for the desired wallpaper.
The wallpapers used for the lockscreen are in My Device -> My Wallpapers. Those are static, no animations at all. You will still get the animation on the weather tab tho...
Hope this helps.
The only method to do this currently is to rename the WeatherService.dll entry in the registry to stop it from loading on startup. However, it comes with a few side effects.

the other option is to not update the weather. Click on the clock and add you city. Once this is done click on it and then just never update the weather and you will have no weather animation.
It's not an ideal solution but it works. Other than that use the animated wall paper like everyone else says

This won't stop the weather animation next to the clock and alarm.
it will if you dont update the weather as it doesnt know what to put there. you end up with this
Hi,
Nice Work
Weather thingy was right in the way in the middle of the screen!
Cheers,
Gavin
I wanted one of the weather wallpapers without the actual weather animation so i went into the folder with the weather wallpapers in and copied it into the folder with the animated wallpapers. This was then shown with the animated wallpapers allowing me to use a weather wallpaper without the animation. Animated wallpapers are located in Device/Windows/Animated Wallpaper. I can't actually find the weather wallpapers folder now. I know it's there somewhere but i can remember exactly where.
If you find the folder can you let me know cos it's annoying me that i can't find it.
Hi,
Weather is back in the middle on the screen and I can't shift it
Any ideas, please?
Cheers,
Gavin
On my TD2 I modded the 1c684cd8_manila (manila name: home.mode9).
Search for
Code:
<Property Name=Instance Name Value="Home_WeatherCom">
and add
Code:
<Property Name=Visible Value="False">
It removes the weatherfunction up to the displayed location name
And you can still use autoupdate and the weathertab
Edit: The attached CAB only works for Topaz Devices with WM 6.5 and Sense 2.1
Cab doesnt work for me, hd2 1.48 factory rom - T mobile.
remove weather animation
Hello guys. I am not sure if this will work on htc Leo, but I am using Leo ROM on my device and this work with no problem. Use Reg Editor :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila] "Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002

As David Balfour said, if you don't update weather it won't be there.
Bare in mind, you will have to wait for the 5 day forcast to run out!!!

Or delete: \Application Data\HTC\databases\forecast_cache.db
If necessary, it will be recreated automatically.

then you have to modify the manilafile yourself with m9editor.
i dont know if its the same filename as on my TD2 but the code should work anyway. the manila name is home.mode9. good luck

pac man theme?? :) or a music theme??? :)

could any body please make me a pac man theme or a music theme that has musical notations flowing through the back ground?? not very fussy xD
thank you
When you say 'flowing' do you mean animated?
Because thats not possible in a theme.
It is however possible as an animated screen saver on the home screen only.
But thats still problematic...
Because as far as I know, you cant add your own animation screen savers to the phone (I might be wrong) So it would mean making a CAB file to replace the ones already on it... (someone will correct me if Im wrong)
Pack man wallpaper is easy. Find my a good picture on the web, And ill make you it. Send it me over MSN haydn
there are some modified animated pics up here, so it must be possible.
hey, i just looked on hd2
go to settings tab, choose "personalize", "hometab background", "animated background" => right soft button => "Album"
now you can choose every animated wallpaper found in your storage
just simply and easy
+1, think a pacman "theme" would be very nice
DN41
here is a pacman wallpaper i resized to 480 x 800

are custom animated wallpapers possible?

ive seen people change the floating circles to different things in the animated wallpapers but id like to be able to create completely new one like those used as live wallpapers in android. If they were able to put the measly 3 animated ones on the phone theres gotta be a way to make them. Anyone have any ideas on how? i know animated gifs wont work
A quick search for "Animated Wallpaper", would have given you these and more.

That's just a layer on top of a wallpaper, not an animated wallpaper.

Actually these are what HTC calls "animated" (or moving) wallpapers.
Yes they are simple and not as coooool as Android Live Wallpapers,
but these are the type that's available for our HTC Sense, as far as animated wallpaper goes.
dam that realy blows theres only so much you can do with those. Ive only mainly seen the falling circles wallpaper animated and im not too keen on that one. Theres gotta be a way to get this dam thing to show gifs or swfs or something as animated wallpapers.

Custom shelf wallpaper for icons

I was looking to use a custom made wallpaper with a shelf for my icons to sit on. I use Multi Picture Live Wallpaper so the images I would be looking for would be 480x800. If anyone has a shelf with the hooks and a rope or something holding it up that would be great! I've seen LauncherPro Docks like that. I've found others before but they didn't seem to be in the correct spot for the icons to neatly sit on them. I've attached some sample's of what I'm looking for and a few wallpapers I've found to share. Anyone else have anything cool they're willing to share?

How do you make live wallpapers scroll?

I just got a live wallpaper and Ive seen youtube videos of it where the user would scroll between the pages and the picture in the background would move, however my one just stays in the same background it wont move left or right. Its the same wallpaper how do I get it to move?
You cannot use features with multiple pages for the background using the Sense launcher (rosie) -
- you have to install an aftermarket launcher.
The way Rosie (Sense launcher) works with the background image is weird, so you also can't use things like Multi picture live wallpaper that I love on my Nook Color, and have set up on the one I gave to my lady with all of her pictures.

So smart! Niiice
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
Yea, she is all about care bears, so I made her a personalized care-bear edition nook color for her birthday.
Custom icons, each home-screen to a different folder for wallpapers, the system font is in the actual care bear font (which I had to make from scratch because the ones available on the internet suck)...custom boot animation, etc..etc... it was a fun project, and got her to stop borrowing my nook color since she has her own.
She also got a taste of what the dev work i'm doing actually turns into, so she's more willing to give me dev time - all in all it was a big success and a lot of fun.
It really hit home when she had a chance to use someone else's nook color recently that was factory stock - lol - she was like "I couldn't do ANYTHING with it".
haha nice
