[Q] disable weather effects? - HTC Sensation

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.

Weather & Toggle Widget Issues (Nexus One)

Has anyone else had issues with this App?
Weather & Toggle Widget
I can use every aspect of the app except the MOST important feature,
The flip clock /w weather widget.
If I long press my desktop and select the "Weather & Flip Clock" widget, enter my zip or let it find my location (both don't work).
After I save there is a little grey box on my screen that just says
"Loading Data..." where the widget should be... It doesnt matter how long I leave it, it never loads into the widget. I have to long press it and drag it to the trash to stop it.
Anyone have any advice?
Use Beautiful Widgets instead, Weather Widget has bugs.
I got it to work. I had to un-install and re-install. All is well.
how you've done to fix it ? jsute re-install because on my x10 i can pick zip code or location and there is no meteo on the widget
tryed to reinstall but no
is it a donation one or a cracked one ?

[Q] Weather wallpaper and widget

Good day!
In currently owned my new HTC Sensation, and so far I love it. Im just want to make clarification for the certain if they are glitch or not.
Note: Im using stock rom and not yet updated
Wallpaper - Weather
-When I select weather wallpaper, my home screen wallpaper has an animated weather on it. However, when I opened a certain application and go back to the home screen, the animation to the weather is stopped. It will continue to move after I locked and system and unlock it.
Widget- Weather (clock)
- The "Current location" on weather is inaccurate and missing my spot from where I am currently. Also the animation of weather in clock does not animate.

[Q] Live wallpaper???

ok, so I've thumbed through some threads kind of regarding my question, but after trying those suggestions, I'm still empty handed. I'm wondering how to run live wallpapers using cm7 a9? I've already tried the livewallpaper picker apk's, but I'm not seeing what good those do as I see no option for 'live' wallpaper. thanks
Tap and hold on an empty area of your homescreen and a list should appear. Tap "wallpapers", then "live walpaoers"
Yeah, I don't get that option just the option to choose a wallpaper.. nothing 'live'

[Q] Most widgets not available for lock screen (KitKat 4.4)?

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.

[Q] Changing the weather app on the Lock Screen

I have just installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat Resurrection Remix rom.
All working just fine, still getting used to it.
One question?
Only two options of weather apps available for the Lock Screen.
Yahoo and openweathermap
I would like to use the BBC weather map if possible.
Question is it possible and if so how do I show it.
Cheers
its possible i think install the app and use widget

I have the BBC app / widget on but cannot find any way to add it to the lock screen.
The option to customise lock screen weather gives only the two options I mentioned above.
Update
I found the way to add the weather widget to a side screen from the lock screen but that is not actually what I wanted.

You need to set "Custom widgets" on lockscreen. Then you long press on the actual widget and delete it. Then you can add your preferred widget.

Thanks for that.
Tried your suggestion and although I have the Custom Widget turned on I am unable to get the option to remove the weather from the lock screen.
I can with this Rom, de-select the weather widget on lock screen in settings to remove it.
Still no way to add my own selection to lock screen.
I can add a new screen to the side of the lock screen but that's not what I wanted.

That did the trick although it doesn't look very good due to the length of our village name.
But it works a treat otherwise.
Much appreciated :good:
