[Tweak]Home Screen Weather Animation On/Off

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...
GG

thanks, worked perfectly

Longer Animation
I also would like a longer weather animation, it looks cool. Has anyone any suggestions??
Thanks, Carlos.

Weird Cookies wallpaper problem

I just installed cookie 1.8.5 on my hd2, i also had hdwall on it as well so that I could make the background tranparent. The weird problem I have is that when my phone goes to lock screen and I unlock it, the top and bottom parts of my screen are skinned but the actual wallpaper is one of the default wallpapers on my phone. when i scroll to another tab and come back the wallpaper changes to what I initially wanted. Anyone know what's going on here?
I have manilla version 2.5.20124112.2

avoid using HD walls. select HQ Wallpaper option in editor!! find the picture you want, select skin bars. it will restart your device. then for home screen select the same picture so it completes the whole image over your home screen. i have used this without any issues. use sk tools to clean up your phone, it have have junk slowing it down. also beware their alot of bugs still in cht 185, overall it runs pretty stable.

i uninstalled hdwall, but i still have the same problem. it's just weird that after coming out of the lock screen it shows a different wallpaper than what i selected. and it only changes back after i move to another screen and back

A good idea would be to post over in the CHT thread....youll get lots of support there

[Q] Different Lockscreen background than Home Screen background?

Is this a possibility on 3.2 (hopefully soon 3.2.1) without root ?
To put it simply I'd like a lockscreen with a lot of color and a home screen more subtle and stylish

AFAIK, not with the stock lockscreen (at least I couldn't find the setting).
However you can try this software: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=search_result

You can use Multi Picture Wallpaper (Free). Configure the LV to show a different image on the lockscreen. It can be a static image or a slideshow gallery.

not quite... :/
As it turns out, multi picture live wallpaper doesn't quite do what I want it to..
I am missing the opportunity to scale the picture, the standard definition is to have the same image copied on each screen - I simply want my standard picture(which is made for the tablet) and keep the normal movement and cropping.
And then of course the other picture as my lockscreen picture (and it would be nice to be able to crop/scale it)..
A friend of mine told me that WidgetLocker didn't work on his tablet ?
So didn't really want to buy it in case I couldn't make it do what I wanted before the time limit.

How do you make live wallpapers scroll?

I just got a live wallpaper and Ive seen youtube videos of it where the user would scroll between the pages and the picture in the background would move, however my one just stays in the same background it wont move left or right. Its the same wallpaper how do I get it to move?

You cannot use features with multiple pages for the background using the Sense launcher (rosie) -
- you have to install an aftermarket launcher.
The way Rosie (Sense launcher) works with the background image is weird, so you also can't use things like Multi picture live wallpaper that I love on my Nook Color, and have set up on the one I gave to my lady with all of her pictures.

So smart! Niiice
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

Yea, she is all about care bears, so I made her a personalized care-bear edition nook color for her birthday.
Custom icons, each home-screen to a different folder for wallpapers, the system font is in the actual care bear font (which I had to make from scratch because the ones available on the internet suck)...custom boot animation, etc..etc... it was a fun project, and got her to stop borrowing my nook color since she has her own.
She also got a taste of what the dev work i'm doing actually turns into, so she's more willing to give me dev time - all in all it was a big success and a lot of fun.
It really hit home when she had a chance to use someone else's nook color recently that was factory stock - lol - she was like "I couldn't do ANYTHING with it".

haha nice

selective wallpaper blur for apps

hi i have hired a team to make a launcher for me i call SymetiumUI, anyway we have gotten in alot of arguements and it looks like the app is being killed because of it can't find help to finish it, allthough this blur question this wasn't an arguement i still would like to know, i was told by that team that selective wallpaper blur where a shape of the wallpaper is blurred isn't possible, only the layer that goes ontop the wallpaper would blur it which causes alot of performance issues limiting it to one or two blurred objects at a time on screen.
So i would simply like to know is it possible for an app to blur a round ball or box on a wallpaper or can it just blur the entire wallpaper and not sections of it.
The idea for my app is that a part of the wallpaper would be blurred then a colored layer would be placed ontop causing the frosted glass efffect or even ios effect if you set the layer to white and slightly transparent, another workaround i came up for this is that the launcher keeps the entire wallpaper blured but only shows sections of the wallpaper blurred, meaning a layer is free to move ontop like a dynamic blur.
