I've noticed that with some mods and themes it'll create a submenu when you select to change wallpaper or icons. I've began to create my own version of some text icons and I was wondering if there's a way and how to go about creating a submenu for them. Additionally, how would I then prevent these images from showing up in the Gallery of pics on my phone?
An example would be the Cyanogen backgrounds. There's a submenu when you change wallpapers, but the images don't show up in the gallery.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
*bump*
any ideas?
It's an app, cyanogenmod had an app created and that's how they do it lostEden in the G1 forums knows how to manipulate it that's how I got my wallpaper gallery

Ok, I found this screenshot and would like to have the theme or wallpaper. The weather looks really cool on it and it fits the theme, no matter what weather icon gets displayed.
It could be a TSK or a wallpaper only. Does anybody know where to get it?
It is a theme, the weather icons are part of the HTC Home Plug In. One has nothing to do with the other.
I know that, I own a Polaris...
It's not forcibly a whole theme, it could be a backgound only too.
However, what I meant to say: the HTC Home weather icons match the theme, they blend in really well with the background as if they were a part of the theme. Anybody knows where to get this theme/background?
The wallaper ist a Vista-Style's one. It's very hard to find exacty that one. I have found a similar wallpaper:
Hope you like it too?

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,

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,

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.

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
Hi, I want to change the wallpaper in phonebook, settings and the dialer. I want the wallapaper to be the same as my homescreen wallpaper. I have Eminence v1.2 installed. Is there a way to do it?
You will need to modify the framework-res.apk for the settings background, and (I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong here) I think the Dialler and Phone Book are in the same APK, which I think is dialer.apk

Is there a tweak to enable live wallpapers for the lock screen? I've searched everywhere for this ability and nothing has come up. I think Live Wallpapers would actually be better on the locked screen than in their current form, behind widgets and icons/labels etc.
If not, anyone up for a project to facilitate this ability?
Set a transparent image for the lockscreen wallpaper.
All ROM's other than stock do this by default. I always see the default wallpaper, live or not on the lockscreen.
hmm, weird...
I made a transparent 480x800 .png image, but my lock screen is black[aside from the date and time etc].

Just setting a transparent wallpaper won't work. Has to be placed in the framework-res.apk.

Dilong, nice work on all these. if you want to share any of your work over in the thread linked above, there is a really great collection of apps with transparent widgets. it'd be great to add these and any others you come up with. i've also struggled with changing text color when messing with other apps, but there are some other smart people active in that thread who might be able to help. cheers!

this isn't really the help you are looking for in changing the text color but you could take one of the already themed Gmail 4.2 apk that has everything inverted (including the widget text), and then just make the same mods to the widget list transparency without needing to change that text color. i linked to the version themed by travp624.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p10u379b4z791kx/Gmail_v4.2-blk.apk
or if you want to just use that as something to compare against to see if you can find the XML change, that would work to. i will take a look and see if i notice any difference in yours and his.

I already tried this by replacing some xml files taken from inverted widgets but apparently it didn't work on my phone. But thanks for helping me
