Cant change my homescreen wallpaper from weather!!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I dont like having all the clouds floating across the screen, I think its a waste of space+ it makes my 1ghz -.- leo lag.
So Ive tried changing the homewallpaper to animated then choosing my own 480x800 wallpapers, but once I set them, I go back to check on the homescreen and I still have the default stuff on there Ive tried restarting ect, nothing.
You can see what rom im running from my signature, Im not sure if thats making any difference. I think the problem may be the fact that I just tried to install Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 quicklinks, but it didnt work, I got the screen attached to this thread, so I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal, or so I thought, may this be the problem?

The method you described should work. I can only guess that you're right about the ROM or the 16 quicklinks affecting it.
Can't help, other than to say that it works on mine when I do that, so it's not default behaviour.

I was obviously being sarcastic, but in case yours doesn't do this...
All the people in my contact list have the same full name or the same email address that they have on facebook (if they're on there).
I only have to manually link about 2 of them, out of about 30. I just go into the people tab, all people, and the updates and events tab (the figure with a clock next to the head) and perform an update there. It automatically links the majority of my facebook/contact matches.
Do you have to manually link them all 1-by-1?

I just set my wallpaper to animated, but selected a static one, and then set it back to the weather one. I also did a registry dump of HKCU before and after setting it back to the weather one, and I found 1 change when I'd set it to a non-weather background.
Try setting this registry key. You'll need a reset afterwards.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
Hope this helps

Well I dont tend to put peoples email adresses in, but what your saying is that if I just bother to do it once (then it will always be saved when I use ppc pim backup) When I reload them on it will automatically link facebook profiles?

00000002 hexadecimal right? making the decimal 2? (Sorry I dont know much about the registry) I just tried that and nothing seems to have happened, I came back after restarting and the clouds/rain ect arent over the screen but I still cant change to an animated background (which btw Im not using actual animated bg's Im using still ones)
Have I done something wrong?

Yep - 0x00000002 = 2, so you know more than you think
If it's turned the weather animation off, then I'd say it's worked. Go to Menu, Home Wallpaper, and select Weather Wallpaper. Then browse for the background you want for the home page. Once you've got that, set that registry key and restart.
If the wallpaper doesn't change when you do it that way either, then it probably is the quicklinks change that's broke something, so I'd recommend looking at HDWall. If you don't know what it is, it's a cab creator for wallpapers that allows high quality images (not the downsized version that you get if you let the UI set it), and you can have it on all tabs too. I have 20 quicklinks and HDWall works great for me.
Anyway, lets see how you get on with changing the wallpaper first.
Hope this helps

Use the animated wallpaper option, but browse to the wallpaper of your choice instead.
If that doesn't work then one of the "essential" cabs that you have installed has caused the problem. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling the culprit, but you may need a hard reset as not all mods get uninstalled fully.

now the question remain which cab is causing the conflict?
thats what i have installed\:
20 home screen shortcut
BSB tweak

Touch X bluetooth
touch x task manager

it is definetly the 20 shortcut, i have unistalled it and it worked fine.
so i guess we know what the problem is...but had to install the 20 shortcut back because it is very usefull
True, it is the shortcut-cab that causes the problem. But after selecting my new background and re-installing the shortcut-cab, the problem is back.
Have you tried using HDWall to create your wallpaper? I use it because I want the same wallpaper on all the tabs, and I also use the 20 quicklinks cab and they work together fine.

I had the same problem with the latest version of HDWall (v0.28b), but the previous version (v0.27b) worked fine. Just make sure you go into the config screen and ensure you're making cabs for WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Edit:
I've just tried v0.28b again, and it works as long as you install the "High Quality Wallpaper for Home Tab & Manila Start Menu by Co0kieMonster".
It now fills the screen correctly, and is higher resolution than the previous versions. It looks great now!
Great, that's better! Only one 'problem' left, I want the bottom of the screen (with 'contact'-button and 'menu'-button @ homescreen) to be black instead of the color from the background. Is there any way I can change that?

This is a bit poor, I know, but it works.
Open Settings (or All Settings from the settings tab), and go to Today. Change the theme and click OK. Then, open the Today settings again and change the theme back (I assume you want HTC Black, from your comment). Click OK and it's done.

Stock Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM Problem with Today Screen Animated Wallpaper

I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe
I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.
Thanks!
After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.
Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.
I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.
Interesting I never noticed this before.

Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.
Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.
Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.

I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".
Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.
Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.
That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.
Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.
How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?

You can do it one of two ways.
I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.
There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.

In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?

Hmmm, I Downloaded My ROM from PCD & I Don't Have Animated Weather for My Today Screen, Only In My Weather Tab. Where Did You Download Your ROM From?
Downloaded from the same place as you...PCD.
Hmmm, By Any Chance Do You Still Have The Original ROM You Updated Your TP2 With? Can You Send It My Way? I'd Really Appreciate It
Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.
Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?
Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

Bump.........
Ignore that - it's nothing to do with what you're asking. That advice is only for modifying the wallapaper, not the weather on the clock.
There's no 100% foolproof way of getting rid of that weather display, other than a blag. Set the clock location set to "my location" and use the disable my location cab from the bottom of the second post in the hints and tips thread that is stickied at the top of the HD2 general forum. This will only work if the "my location" thing has never worked. If you've ever had weather updates for that location then this simply won't work.
If you ever change your clock location it may start showing weather there again though. If that happens, get used to it.

There was a long thread about this when the HD2 first came out, and people ended up hacking dll files that worked on some devices and forced other people to hard reset, so I'd avoid that like the plague! It's not something that I'm interested in, as I find that area of the screen looks bare without it, so I've not paid much attention to discussions in that area. I still don't think there's been a 100% solution though.

Hardcode Start Menu Wallpaper

Heya!
I've been looking to change my start menu background for a whole evening now, but I can't figure out how I can do it. It has given me a headache already.
Can somebody put me on my way? How can i hardcode the startmenu wallpaper? Or is it just impossible?

You can change the start menu wall paper by going to settings...today and at the bottom of the appearance page you will see a box that states "Use this picture as the background" put a check in the box and choose your pic from the list
Setting, Personalize, Lockscreenwallpaper
Yeah, but then it changes my lockscreen wallpaper aswell, no? Figured out a way by editing a .cpr file though.. Thanks for your replies!
Ah ok. Sorry, didnt think about the possibility that you might use the Original WM-Lockscreen. Never mind

well even if you use the sense lockscreen, the start wallpaper is the same as the lock wallpaper.
@OP, can you specify exactly how you did it? I would very much like to know!
HI rather than a single wallpaer scheme look at Antworks auto wall paper changer, allows you to automatically change the wallpaper at defined intervals , 30 min 1 hour etc. Also works with S2u2.

Why use .cab's for wallpapers instead of just plain pics?

Just curious. I always see people talking about making or sharing wallpaper cab's, and I am wondering what the advantage is of doing it that way instead of just saving pics to the storage card and setting from there? That''s what I do, but maybe I am missing a better way in these .cabs...

It's called HDwall. By default, the quality of wallpaper in HD2 is low..seems kinda blur. With this cab, it is possible to get higher wallpaper quality. Also u can set the taskbar and softkeybar background (u can make it looks as if transparent).
But that's old time.
With the new CHT 1.8.5 there's no need such application. It has this ability built in.

Because CAB files which contain wallpapers in Manila format can overwrite original manila files.

man...u've done wrong...if u installed cht. no need anything else. that would make it crash. cht got everything. hdwall, bg4all tab. just cookie. np need anything else.
After the HDWall thingy installed via CHT 1.8 - I have an issue.
I do have plenty of sweet backgrounds to chose from. It all works fine with CHT except a feature that I did love very much - the Randomnes.
I have for several years both on Diamond and on HD2 used a .cab named:
Kevin2u Diamond Background Changer v015.
This .cab would pick a random picture from a designated folder every x minute as your liked it. After CHT v1.8 - this ain't working anymore. On CHT v1.7 it worked.
Have any of you guys been able to get a random picture prg. to run on top of CHT v1.8?
If so help me see the light as I really miss the feature that my phone has a new background every now and then when I grab it without manually picking a new picture.
Kindly
Kwas
Nevermind - Search Function did this one for me - sorry for bothering

So I go to miscellaneous settings and check what under wallpaper Regular, HD Wall or HQ Wall? I have tried them all but only the hd wall setting lets me access the Regular wallpapers not the cab files. Help?
so I have a question. If I installed the latest version of CHT, I already have HD Walls installed? all I have to do now is check HDwall in miscellaneous settings, download the cab for the wallpaper, install, and soft reset? Do I install to the card or device? And one more question, Do I have to uninstall aything to change to another HD wallpaper? Sorry for all the noob questions

Actually you can dl the cab and just run it without anything (Ithink). It's all within the cab. I believe hd wall is the organizer but it never worked for me. Not sure how CHT works in with this.
You don't need to install any cabs with CHT (1.8.5 at least, can't remember about 1.7).
From the home screen tap Menu>>Set Wallpaper. All of the options are there on the next screen (Home Tab, All Tabs, Lockscreen, Taskbar Skinning)
Sometimes the things in front of your eyes are the hardest to find!
Hi guys, I tried the search function as well but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.. Help is much much appreciated!
I'm on the Artimis Rom v25, with cookies 1.8.5, i downloaded the .cab wallpaper, tried to install.. didnt work, i downloaded the wallpaper fix download, Didnt work so i gave up... so i tried to go back to cookies editor to change my wallpaper back to the one i had, and it didnt work. I have a totally back wallpaper and can't seem to change it in anyway!
HelPPP i'm losing it!!......

Actually I have seen that but I was hoping to use some of the beautiful screens that were in those cabs. So in essence you have to dl some wallpapers and then use the settings you described. Thanks.

That's correct. If you really want the wallpapers that are in the cabs, I believe you can open the cab files on your pc and extract them manually. Don't quote me on that but it would seem logical. Or you could ask the OP of any walls you like to point you in the direction of the source.

Im using CHT 1.8.5 and I also install hdwall on my hd2 , just because i have 30 or more cabs, all with thumbs and the HDwall app gives you the ability to preview.You just dont have to install the patch anymore..It doesnt crash my HD2at with this configuration.
