I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe
I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.
Thanks!
After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.
Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.
I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.
Interesting I never noticed this before.

Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.
Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.
Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.

I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".
Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.
Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.
That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.
Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.
How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?

You can do it one of two ways.
I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.
There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.

In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?

Hmmm, I Downloaded My ROM from PCD & I Don't Have Animated Weather for My Today Screen, Only In My Weather Tab. Where Did You Download Your ROM From?
Downloaded from the same place as you...PCD.
Hmmm, By Any Chance Do You Still Have The Original ROM You Updated Your TP2 With? Can You Send It My Way? I'd Really Appreciate It
Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.
Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?
Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

Change registry setting below:
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu
Set DWORD to 1 (use TF3D)
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu
Set DWORD to 0 (Use WM Menu)

I'll Give It a Shot Doing a Hard Reset, Thanks for The Help Though
Hi all.
I'm new to Android (moving over from WinMo) and I have a couple of questions;
Does anyone know if there are any reliable apps that can change wallpapers at regular intervals or according to location?
It would be great if the app could randomly select wallpapers too.
Secondly, I know that Android (on the HTC Desire/Bravo at least) allows for the creation of multiple panels, is it possible to have the phone switch to a particular panel at a particular time or location i.e. have the phone switch to a work panel at 0900 and then home again at 1800?
Thanks in advance
i love this idea i want to know if anyone gots any info on this as well
Try WallSwitch!

Hi.
I found WallSwitch (its in the Market place. This allows random and timed wallpaper switched. It's at version 2.0.2 at the moment.
Neat little heap; stable, doesn't fall over in a heap if the images are moved.
Hope this helps.

dont forget to answer which rom is good im going to change my rom this week is there any picture of it in any sites??? in some threats there is no picture of roms
it's been a long time since the last time i posted a question in this forum... but i do read it everyday since...2004
So. I'm on CyanogenMod9 (ICS 4.0.4) on GT 9100 (SGS2)
i put the classical widget of the calendar app in Cyanogen on one of my homescreen.
The pb is that one of the last nights , when i tryed to configure the widget, i found a menu, somewhere (i can't remember where) to manage the settings of the number of day to display in the widget : one day, 2 days, next 7 events etc...
I'm sure i saw that somewhere because at the beginning it was only one day displaying on the screen. After some search i managed to display 3 days !
I've been now searching for many hours... i can't revert back !
I don't want another widget, i just want to find where is the management of the display settings of the widget. It's just a question of curiosity now.
Tks for help

Hi,
I am quite new to the topic, so I hope you bear with me. I installed an X-Note Rom (made for N8000) on my N8010. I am very happy, it works like a charm and is very fast. I have two small problems and I don't know, if these problems are caused by the ROM, the tablet or (of course) me.
1. Keyboard changes back to Samsung on each restart
I use the Swiftkey Keyboard, as a matter of personal preference. When I reboot the device it always changes the keyboard setting to Samsung. Can I change this somewhere?
2. Launcher changes back to Nova on reboot
X-Note comes without Touchwiz,it uses Nova instead. I installed Action Launcher Pro, as I prefer it. When I reboot the device, it always returns back to Nova.
Here my question becomes twofold:
1. Is there some workaround to make Action Launcher Pro the Standard?
2. Is it very hard (I want just a pointer) to change the Rom to make Action Launcher Pro the default?
Thank you for your help in navigating this unknown territory!
Best regards
Sven
