Weather loop in home - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible "to loop" the weather animation on the homepage of the HTC HD2. I like it very much and I'd like to see the animation all the time that I see the home.
Thanks in advance.

Must I modify some value in register system?

That's a good question!! Must be possible via the reg - but I cannot find it!!

Thanks.
Anyone know how it can be made?

I reckon it will mean an edit of the files that are the animated weather, but I can't find them. I had a pretty good look round and just couldn't find them anywhere (obvious).
It's gotta be doable, but you've gotta bear in mind that the animation fades in, so a loop may look pretty bad. (Imagine you've got a load of snow falling over your screen and then it just disappears and starts to fade in again, not to mention the sliding of the corner images in snow!)
It's gonna take someone knowing where the files are stored and knowing how to edit them well to make this work. It may simply be too much to ask with the current animations.
I hope not, cos I'd love constant snow on my home page at the minute. It looks great for the few seconds that it does work!

I'm pretty sure what you want will result in huge energy draw and battery will die too fast.

REQ: Matrix code

Hey guys/girls,
Ages, I tell ya. Ages!
Been looking for realistic animated code wallpaper for my HD2 for so long now.
I know it must exist but I just can't find it, or at least a animated code wallpaper that doesn't look ghetto.
Can anyone help, point me in the right direction, or put one together? I'd pay for the latter to save myself plugging away online any longer.
Please and thanks!

No-one has yet discovered how to create animated wallpapers for the HD2 (or they've not told anyone, if they have!)
The ones that you have seens have simply been the stock animated wallpapers with the images changes. The actual movement has been exactly the same. Someone did one that they called a "matrix style" wallpaper, but it unfortunately looked nothing like the matrix rain.
Until we know how to code the animated wallpapers, you're not going to get this unless you use a UI that allows animated gifs as wallpaper.
I would love a full sized animated wallpaper. I must say I love wallpaper. I really dont like all the icons on the HD2. I use Spb Shell and keep the main screen free of icons. It's just like Android.

Touch2 MyMobiler skin

Dear all,
Thanks for all the useful tips over the past few years, I've finally done something worth giving back to the community.
I noticed the HD2 and diamond skins but there wasn't a skin available the correct resolution for my QVGA Touch2... So I decided to make one using the existing skins as examples. The process was pretty straightforward and took me about an hour playing around to get it right.
I know that there will be some issues so let me tell you what I already know before you come back to me to tell me.
Anti-aliasing is a bit rough around the edges, it looks best on white backgrounds. At any zoom level other than 100% it does not go transparent and you have a white edge (which looks a bit ugly). According to other similar threads this is due to a bug with MM not the skin itself.
Also if you switch the skin into landscape it goes wrong. I am hoping that somebody may have some ideas as to how to get MM to rotate the skin, or be able to set a landscape skin up. I could not find any examples of this.
Also I don't think the start button works, although the button is mapped out.
Enjoy, let me know if you have any ideas about rotating it. I don't have much time to adjust but thought other people may well want the same as I did, so here you are. Feel free to improve on it.

Edit: Attaching screenshots
Hei, can you post screenshots, i dont understand whats that...
Apologies for the confusion, I have appended a screenshot as requested.
Do I miss something?.....screen shots look like default Mega.......

That is the point! But there was not a skin for My Mobile which makes it look like the Touch2 until now. Those screen shots are actually displaying my phones screen, not an emulator or static screenshot.
Have a look at this site: fuzemobility.com/mymobiler-skins-for-htc-hd2-tp2-and-more/ and you should catch on.
Ok, thought that the screen was "automatically" displayed by mymobiler.....
And since I use direct mobile device connection, never had the need for mymobiler .....
Will give it a try.....thanks for clarification!

[REQ] Anyone up for a challenge?

Looks pretty cool. Anyone up for it? Maybe as a widget instead of a lock screen? A full page widget our luck screen. Doesn't really matter...

I think a Live Wallpaper would be better.
Do you mean something like this?
That looks good. It's a widget, right? What's the name?
Search market for wordclock, there are widgets and livewallpapers
It's my widget - One More Clock. However, I'm in the middle of a rewrite (from XML to JSON) and this theme is using the new format.
Here, use this apk and pick the "Clock Too" theme... it defaults to 4x2 but you can resize to any size you want if you have launcherPro/ADW.
Leave me feedback so I can incorporate them into the next version of OMC!
Definitely need a lockscreen AND a livewallpaper of the one at Gizmodo. It's pretty awesome.
@PhilDsT: Searched according to your suggestion but couldn't find anything that looks really like the Qlocktwo. Only more or less "ugly" copies.
@xaffron: Thanks alot! After changing the background color to black, it looks almost like the original! And I now think that this is better as widget instead as LWP, because if it's an LWP, you could hardly read the time depending on how the desktop is arranged. So yes, this is really great!
What I notice on my Dell Streak is that loading the widget takes quite a long time (something like 15 seconds or so) after unlocking. Not really an issue for me, but maybe interesting for you.
If I may, I'd like to ask one question: Do you think you could also add a german version? The letter layout would need to look like on the real Qlocktwo as seen here. I would of course help you with a translation matrix if required.
Many TIA!
Thanks for the feedback, BigBlue007! Turn on Foreground Mode for now for best responsiveness. I'm working on the part that gives faster updates on screen-on.
Here's the German version. I've been telling anyone who would listen that OMC skins well, so might as well put my money where my mouth is
Unzip to your SD Card, under the /OMC directory (so that it is /OMC/Clock2German).
the Clock2 German theme will now be available. I don't know German so this is just a guess - let me know what to tweak!
Cool! Thanks alot! Will check it right now and will come back to you with corrective suggestions if there are any.
OK, first of all, the letter matrix is 100% correct. F*cking awesome mate! Thanks again!
Now for the first correction: The current time right now would read as:
"ES IST VIERTEL VOR EINS"
What's missing is the "S" at the end of the word "EINS" (which is "ONE"). The "S" is there, but it's not lit.
edit: I took a look into the .json file and I think I am able to fix it myself my replacing the two occurances of "E I N" in lines 479 and 491 by "E I N S". From what I can see in that file, everything else should be correct.
edit2: Yes, modifying the .json file had the desired effect.
Enabling the foreground option does indeed solve the issue that it took long for the widget to redraw after unlock. What still take some time is redrawing it after changing from portrait to landscape mode or vice versa. But I'm sure this will be sorted out during the further development, and as said it's not really a big deal for me.
After looking into that .json file, I would say that I might indeed had been able to create a german version myself, so sorry for bothering you with that...
Thanks, glad you figured out the JSON yourself! Other languages should be pretty simple as well.
I'll change the theme and upload a new version once I get a few minutes.
Corrected Clock2German
Here's a fixed Clock2German theme.
- Changed default slate color from green to black.
- Fixed position of ZEHN and FUNF.
- Cleaned up overlay glass.
Just found OMC, and when flipping through the themes my yaw dropped at "Clock Too". AWESOME!!!!! My new favorite

Preview of my upcoming Boot Animation...

A taste- still working on some banding in the images after the resize, once it is fully optimized I'm going to let you guys have it (and it will be finding a home in a custom ROM near you..).

"Sorry, the page that you requested cannot be found. Try searching for something else."
Anyways how did you figure out the crashing issue? And what was the solution?

Ah, my bad..and I still haven't figured out that particular animation..working on it still, think I will run the images through a resizer..
The link should work now- OP edited..
Ohhh......nice job.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
???
I can't understand what it is.
i like looks pretty cool. i want to figure out how to add boot sounds. is it as simple as adding a "oog" or similar , that would be really awesome with an electrical type sound

It's like transformer-ish metal plates sliding together with a jet-engine 'eye' spinning up in the middle..
The hard part was getting the bootloader screen no screen cap for that
Me and Sharpe are working on a nice theme for his upcoming ROM release (not spilling the beans I hope Sharpe?? ) so this is a teaser..the theme should work for all versions..this is just the boot animation for it..
Going to release this as a raw bootanimation.zip file here in the OP once I get it just right
Hey luna_c666 , any chance of sharing the bootloader screen ? . I wanna incorporate that into my next boot animation
I have the three bootsplash images but getting them in just the right position on a black background will do my head in lol.

Sure just credit me because you are right it was a bit of a pain to reconstruct with accuracy..
Good job. In the future, you might find it easier to simply create a .gif from all the .png files and put that in your initial post as opposed to a youtube video.

Yeah, this was just a test of one of many versions I made, and I made the vid for someone I am working with in development of a custom ROM, and, I also was asked to show a friend over facebook. The youtube video of my test bootanimtation booting on my own TF solved all three of these demands
Also, since it isn't the final version I didn't want to create a gif for it just yet.
Wanted to bump this, let you guys know that it's coming along, I am trying to optimize the images so they won't band so badly before I release it, but in the meantime I have a teaser of a new theme (and more to come of this theme's variants) for the TF101..I've put a good deal of time into it, so I figured I would share a glimpse or two So far I've skinned the notifications bar, buttons, quick panel and some of the random status bar icons (like micro SD, SD, and HDD icons etc.). More to come!
