Is there any way to disable weather wallpaper? (CDMA Hero Fresh 2.1.2)

I'm just trying to find a way to disable the weather wallpaper so my live wallpaper stays on after I unlock if I don't move the screen.
I know 1.5 didn't have it, so there must be some way to disable both it and the call to it, so it's like it was never there to begin with.
I searched, but came up with nothing I could use. I'm not sure entirely how it works, but there should be a line you can comment out somewhere or something.

If u mean the Weather Animation after unlocking the screen there is a option at the Weather Application.

I can't seem to find the option to shut it off in there anywhere. All I have is Update Automatically, Update Frequency, and Temperature Scale, and nothing else. ; ;
Am I looking in the wrong place for it or something?

remove the widget then when you go to readd it, it will prompt you for animation after you select a city.

Hehe... Mine doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When I remove it and add it again, it doesn't ask for anything, it just GPSs my current location.
I tried the other two smaller widgets too, the ones that do ask for your location, but nothing ever came up about being able to disable the weather wallpaper.
This is pretty frustrating. lol It should be such an easy task. I mean really, am I missing something? All I wanna do is shut it off, even if I need to do a little programming to do it.

i remember there was a select location option and then the next screen asking for weather animations
i'm running AOSP now so i can't replicate and help you buddy
but keep looking

What is AOSP? I know I should probably know. lol

I had an issue with the same thing and this seemed to fix it:
The most accurate recognition will be achieved when all the training images are taken directly from front (i.e. no profile images etc.). Also, you should take training images in different illuminations (in those environments where you usually use your mobile). Sufficient amount of images per person is about 5 to 10.
give it a shot and see if it changes!

Not a problem! I did the same thing! If you like my share hit the "thanks" button!

It doesn't seem to work on a rooted Evo. Every App I lock goes to the face program then the app starts anyway.

been using this all day here and i must say im impressed. now i just need this to work with the "stock" lock screen (take the place of a pin pass or pattern). that would be amazing.

Im rooted running synergy rc1 and it works fine. Try wiping the app data and uninstall and then do a fresh install and see if that helps.

I was thinking the same thing! That would be a kick ass feature.

I am running the latest MIUI and this works fine. Awesome application. My only complaint is that on MIUI you can drag applications to the top of the screen for an uninstall. If you do that with the app, it will remove it and then you can access whatever you want on the phone. Obviously nobody is going to really know that they can do that unless they are familiar with MIUI, but still something to nag about.
Awesome application.

Same here so what I did was place it in a folder and selected the HIDE APPLICATION option that way it cannot be found

That's what I ended up doing as well. Worked really well since you can't delete the folder with something in it, but you can't find what's in it.
Also, I found that if you hit the home key while the app is loading, it cancels the protection out.
Say you have it protecting messages. You click on messages and while the screen is blank for a second or two (The camera security is loading), hit the home key. Now open messages again and it doesn't lock you out.
Just me or others too?

I found that bug accidentally, but now that I have found it, I can't really use the app anymore. Simply because I know how easy it is to get around.

Lock screen

Anyone know of any lock screen apps or mods that will show my battery charging percent. My current rom only shows a lightning bolt. I would like a percent number.
Thanks.

Try our "Ripple Lock" from the market. It has options and you can enable battery percentage
Froggys go ribbet

Widget locker is great too. You have to pay for it though.

WidgetLocker is awesome, and you can put your battery percentage right on the lockscreen. Totally worth the money.

I'm loving MiLocker and it's free in ghe Market. There are also hundreds of different lockscreens that can be loaded into it.
Attached a pic of my Lockscreen using MiLocker.
Yup, that's what my lockscreen looks like. Swipe the center down to unlock. Left side to open the Dialer and Right side to open SMS.

I love milocker myself tons of lock screens to choose from.

Widgetlocker is the best at custom lockscreens with widgets, sliders, and quick access to apps you want! I like it

MiLocker
you can try miLocker, its free.

Is there a way to either remove the language on the milocker cos there isn't a setting where you can choose your preferred language for date and time. Not hating on Chinese, but I'd prefer everything to be consistently in english. Thx

You can edit the lockscreen, it's a zip without the zip extension.
Or keep looking, there are a lot of English only lockscreens.
Look for one called Ash Bolt. I'll list more when I get home.

Perfect thx. As far as editing goes, what tools are needed? I'll also look into the suggested one.
sent from my CommandCenter using xda premium

Here are a couple. The one named FivePoint_eng will show up in MiLocker as Testing. I never went back in to change it.
Do not rename, just copy each one to the MIUI/theme folder on the sdcard.
Ash Bolt comes with it's own wallpaper, but you can change it in the MiLocker menu. Five Points does not have it's own wallpaper.

You need to unzip the .mtz file, then unzip the lockscreen file, inside you'll find a file called manifest.xml. That's the one that you'll need to edit to make it English only.
When you unzipped the mtz there was a file called description.xml, that's where the name of the lockscreen is located plus someother info.
Then just zip each back up working in reverse.

Update: okay I have the testing theme set and running well. Thx again for those. As for doing the language edit, failed miserably with that. I guess I just need to get schooled a little on zipping those files back into .mtz file formats. The couple of times I tried it, the theme doesn't show up on my SD card. Back to the drawing board for me.

No other lockscreens?

Are there really no other options for lockscreens other than the stock one? Wheres 4-tab? Hopefully someone makes a good rom with all the lockscreens.

If you just mean the photo displayed, use the gallery, hit the settings button and choose use as lock screen.
Also fyi the gallery does a poor job with the wallpaper, it doesn't crop it the way it should.
If you use the image viewer in esfile explorer however, it will work fine.
I read your post again....and no, there's not. I tried an app or two from the market, but didn't like any of them.

Try out GO Locker. It seems to work pretty well.

GO Locker means you have to use GO launcher, though.

Yeah I dont like any of the GO products

[12/2][Trailblazer101] Modified HoloLauncher (for Ticker Call Screen)

Let me know if it works!
You should see the ticker call screen when you are in any app, and you should see the default "full screen" screen when within the launcher itself...

Works just like it should! Even imported my home screen backup. Did have to un install the pro key and notification plug in and reinstall from the market, but they work fine. Thanks for this!

Hmm alright. o: Just wondering. Do you think you could show us how it's done or is it too complicated? Understandable if it is!
Also they've released a swiftkey flow beta. you should check it out!

One would need to learn javascript to understand actions in smali

Wow! SwiftKey Flow is pretty sweet! Works great, especially for someone like me that can't type to save my life! Kinda memory heavy, but doesn't seem to slow the phone down to much. I do think I'll be using this one! Lol! Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app

XjokiX7: Lol, it took me a long time to figure out smali, since I didn't want to learn Java first haha... I've said this before though, a good place to start would be looking at, say, the ticker, in action, and then look at the smali files for it... That way, you get a good picture of what smali code does what! Of course, it doesn't help when there's a lot of files for the ticker in services, but you can combat that with common sense and some detective skills
ciscogee: I know this is probably late, but how was moving!
Oh, and to both roaddog665 and XjokiX7, i freaking love Swiftkey Flow, haha I enjoy the "just keep going" feature, with not having to lift your finger up between words it's crazzyyyy!
Oh Oh, I added in a custom section for the Ticker within TSMParts for all the different settings I'm creating... Some option include turning on/off and customizing the Quick Launch screen, changing the sleep text, and what I am working on now is having options to remove/hide the weather icon/history button It's not ready to be released though, i'm just keeping you posted

and you can do it by swiping your word, then DON'T take your finger off of the keyboard and swipe to the space bar... Then, still without lifting a finger, go back up and swipe your next word... It takes some getting used to, but it seems like it's going to be a huge time saver

Haha!! That's good. This phone just keeps getting better and better.
Yeah, that will take some getting used to... But this keyboard is amazing! I've already "flowed" over 100 meters just playing around with it! Lmao!
