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...

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
Does this exist? I want to be able to see my home screen through the lockscreen, like I could with Android 1.5.
I've got the clear lockbar, but can't seem to find the black background to the lockscreen to get rid of it. I've tried checking in Rosie.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, HtcLockScreen.apk and can't find it in any of those.
I made a transparent png and set that as my lockscreen wallpaper, but all I am getting is a black background.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
Nope wont work.
....So, nothing yet?
Did you look in the themes pages? On the first page there is a way to remove your lock screen so that way you can have just a lock picture and a volume picture on your screen. This is somewhat transparent so you could technically see your background... that's an option if you wanted.. :/

More info please? There's quite a few themes threads. No matter what I've tried, it won't make the lockscreen transparent in 2.1 so I can see my homescreen. I read somewhere it's because 2.1 uses a JPG as the background (JPG's can't have transparency), but have no idea if this is accurate or not. If so, sounds like it might be impossible. Why it would be changed from 1.5 to 2.1, beats me... Going backwards from using a PNG to JPG.

thanks man but i wasnt talking about the ring! i was talking about the weather and others animation of the lockscreen
Just a quick question. Is there any way to change the animation that happens when scrolling between homescreens in Sense?
I get really annoyed by the "cube" style rotation animation and would like just a plain slide to the side. And I would like it to be faster too.
Thanks one and all.
