How can I get rid of the floating clouds in the home page?
I've just upgraded from an iphone and am not yet convinced

I use Co0kie's Home Tab along with CHTEditor which gives an option of adding a link to toggle the home screen weather animation on and off. There are plenty of links / references to it on xda.
Floating clouds is just one of the animations to tell you the weather, you can switch to an animated wallpaper with its own animation. Go to setting then click Personalize at the top and select to change the home tab wallpaper. You can choose weather animated or just animated. There should be an option in there to have no animation at all.
Move to a sunny country ....
pointless but i couldn t resist
sorry about my own stupidity i'm getting old ....

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the weather animation when the phone is turned on? It's quite impressive first but then it just hinders the phone's usability and becomes annoying. (to me at least)
thanks
Simple: when you are choosing the main screen background, choose the "animated" tab, instead of the "weather" wallpaper tab and the picture you choose will not have the weather animation.
Simples as the meerkat would say

Nice tip man, thanks! I just assumed that you could only have animated wallpapers when you selected the animated option. Never tried to browse different albums and actually bother checking! lol
Lazy me
Sense 3.0 is great and all, but every time I unlock the screen, it tries to show some cheap little weather animation, is there a way to disable this? I have dug through some settings but to no avail.
Touch and keep holding the clock/weather widget
Drag it onto "Edit"
Select your city
Remove the checkmark on "Show full sceen animation"
An alternative would be deleting the mentioned widget.
Hopefully I was able to help you with my first post on xda-developers.com...

Cheap weather animation?? Do you know that almost all other android phones are dying to have the smoothness of that what you called cheap weather on the S4G... Anyways, im not sure I understand where you are seeing the weather animation but here are the possible solutions:
1) If you are trying to disable the weather lockscreen, then just choose another lockscreen. (Personality > Lockscreen > Choose anything other than weather)
2) If you are trying to disable the live weather wallpaper, then just choose another wallpaper that isnt weather (personalize > Wallpaper > HTC wallpapers for example)
3) If you are trying to disable the weather animation caused by the flip clock, then from within your home screen, tap and hold the clock and drag it down to Edit. Select current location (if desired) then uncheck (Show Full screen animation)
Good luck to you...

This did the trick, thanks very much!
Thanks. I wouldn't call it cheap but it is annoying for sure. Nice to show off but gets old quick.

Am I the only one who wants to turn off the screen scrolling and go back to the wallpaper that moves?
The scrolling wheel is annoying as hell and pretty dam pointless. HTC must have thought this one through really hard.....

You can select the "Streak" Live Wallpaper & you'll get the "Moving" Wallpaper effect in addition to the "Live" part.

Press personalize button (bottom right of home screen) then wallpaper then live wallpapers then streak. Or install a different launcher.
I hope I'm just doing something stupid ...
I can't add most widgets I've downloaded to my lock screen on my Nexus 5 ... though they all work fine adding to my home screen. Only a few (like Android Weather) are available when hit the "plus" on a blank lockscreen.
All I want is a brightness widget that can make the display bright so I can properly put in my password in bright sunlight (I never set my brightness to auto, it's too annoying for me).
ie. Power Widget lite would be perfect for my needs!
Any one having the same problem? Any ideas?
I have the same problem. Wanted to add some beautiful clock widget to homescreen (don't remember exactly which one), downloaded, installed, went to add to homescreen - no luck.
Why can't you get something like power toggles. Then you could pull down notification bar on lockscreen and toggle brightness to what you wanted. An extra step I know

I can add everything I've downloaded add to homescreen. But almost none can be added to my lockscreens. That's my problem.

Very cool app, thanks for pointing it out. But ... I can't pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked ... how are you able to?
you add widgets on your lockscreen by enabling them in security. there's a checkbox that says "enable widgets"

Yep, did that. The thing is only SOME can be added. Very few that I've downloaded (even though they all seem to work on home screens).

Wow AWESOME app! That's exactly what I need! I was looking for a bunch of widgets on one row, which the lockscreen doesn't even seem to allow, but this widget already let me configure everything I needed in one row of buttons.
It turns out that THIS widget CAN be placed on the lockscreen (I'm not talking about the one visible in the notification bar, I can only access that when the phone's already unlocked).
BUT ... I still want to know why most widgets can't get placed on the lockscreen to begin with. Are they not Android 4.4-lockscreen-compatible yet?

The widgets have to be enabled to work on the lock screen by the developer.

Aha! Didn't expect that widgets needed special lock screen support.
So there's home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, notification bar widgets, ... I wonder what other classes of apps I'm missing - widget widgets? It would be nice if Google Play Store could search based on widget class.
Why is it complicated to change the lockscreen wallpaper on the Mate 9 US version? All other tutorials online have the lockscreen in the wallpaper settings, but apparently not on my version. I had to change it using the Theme app and then customise.
With that said, is there a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper at different intervals like how one can change the wallpaper intervals and choose the source of where the wallpaper is coming from?
Very confusing as I was just praising how I like EMU 5.0.

What retailer did you use to purchase you device? I've been searching online trying to identify if mate 9 has a see threw lock screen. I really like to use live wallpapers on my home screen, and view them on my lock screen. This is really important to me, actually deciding feature because I don't want to have to bother rooting for this simple feature. The only think I could find on it was this http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/worldwide/wheat-mate8/faqs/detail/themes-and-wallpaper.htm from their site, however I'm not sure if it is accurate for the mate 9!
To answer the OP, yes.
Go-to screen lock and passwords, click on magazine unlock and you can select which genre of photos you want downloaded. Then on the lock screen, you can heart/like them or move them to be deleted so they don't show up again. I've included some screenshots.
I haven't found an option to how often they are switched, I thought I had earlier but have forgotten if it was another option I'm referring to.
Edit:
The option I was referring to was actually Wallpaper interval, not lock screen.
I have my options set like that, but my lockscreen never updates. It's always the amber colored swoosh on a black background. I was able to set the wallpaper to the magazine folder, so at least I can see those photos as my wallpaper, updating as set.
On a related note, I wanted to copy the stock "wallpaper" photos into the "magazine" folder, so it would cycle through all of them, but I could never find where the wallpaper photos were stored. :-|

Did you mean this folder?
Not sure if you know about swiping up from the lock screen to get the play pause for wallpapers.
No, that's the magazine folder that I switched the wallpapers to pull from. What I was looking for was the storage of the ORIGINAL wallpaper folders. But I've since found it, they aren't all in one folder, they are in various subfolders of internal storage\HWThemes\.cache

Hmmm, strangely, I just went back into "Screen lock style", and re-selected magazine unlock (which was already selected), and now I'm getting the updating lock screen images.

Thank you for that tip! Swiping up on lock screen and hitting play/pause. Perfect! That is what I was looking for.
How can I apply own pictures to the lockscreen while using the play/pause feature, or does that only work for Subscriptions?
Thank you for that tip
If you go to your lock screen and pull up, you'll get this menu. As long as it looks like this, it will change every time you turn it on.
You can heart certain selections and they won't be deleted.

Yes, there is a category for Live Wallpaper, but current do not have any live wallpaper to try it out. Maybe there are others who have live wallpaper on their Mate 9, which I am assuming you are asking?
And I bought my Mate 9 from Best Buy.
It's there anyway to have home screen wallpaper change in intervals?
(..misreading...)
Auto changing lock screen wallpapers on mate 9
if you want to set auto changing wallpapers on mate 9 then lock the phone and press the unlock button to wake up then phone swipe from bottom there is a play and pause button click play and you are ready to go
