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)

Hi there android fans an gurus!
I am not posting a lot in this forum but I am really keen reader! I have learned a lot here about Android and I appreciate good work from all of you not only developers . But I need some help for customizing stock launcher from JB 4.2. I have signed APK from NEXUS 7 (found it here in this forum of course).
Is it possible to force the launcher to switch to some different resolution then that it found itself? let me explain more in depth.
I have a 8" tablet running 4.1.1 and I have replaced launcher that comes with the device with stock launcher from JB 4.2. But here is the tricky part. My screen has 1024x768 resolution but the resolution that launcher runs is 1280x800. I looked at .apk and it has all necessary files to run 1024x600. In portrait mode everything is perfect but in landscape mode some parts of the icons and widgets are hidden. I am attaching screenshots for clarification because my english isn't so good!
So the question is can I switch it and what I have to modify? And how can I confirm the resolution that Launcher uses? APK contains data for 600 and 720 layout.
p.s.
I am not so good programmer but I have some background and I think with some very appreciated help I could manage to do that.
Best regards and thanks a lot in advance for participating in this thread.
Hi again!
Please for a little push here! I know that it is much more complicated but give me some little clues and I will try to find other things alone
Or tell me if it is possible at all
I tried to read .xmls but they appeared encrypted some kind.
Thanks again in advance!
Hello, please administrators to lock or delete the thread. I have hound what I looked for.
Thank you!
Guys, I am a novice here and keep reading the posts on XDA frequently but posting a query first time.
I have installed pimp my ROM on my Galaxy R and changed the screen density which made me to utilize the real estate on my screen efficiently. The standard UI never helped me so opted for GO launcher and its working like a charm now inspite of a few delays.
The problem I am facing now is with the stock Email app now. Its not utilizing the new screen size and is cramped in a portion of it.
Can someone here help me to find out a way out or a tweak to make use of it. I know there are third party applications available which may help me but I really want to stick to the default app.
I have attached the screenshot which will help to understand the problem.
Thanks a lot!
I don't think it has layouts for another size and DPI, so this cannot be easily fixed.
Yes, But When you use PimpMyRom then you can save a zip file for reverting back as Update.zip.
BTW, as we always say, do have backup first while applying such changes in mobile.
Can any dev help me with that, What changes do I have to make in a 4.3" screen Rom(custom) to fit a 3.7" screen device, I tried to change the dpi and that was in vain the Sense started crash, so is their any other way to do that

try to search about resizing- that is what you have to do in order to fulfill your wish
changing the screen resolution may ussualy multiply the problems only...- and is used for different purpose...
search tutorials about..... 9.png`s and/or tools to automate their processing...
when you`re asking about resizing rom - i assume it has been built for another device,
so, to make everything fuly working- i think the rom ought to be ported
Resizing an app is not an easy task- doable but time consuming ( and your nerves sometimes )
so people in the rom threads, complaining about small resizing issues do not fully realise the depths
the dev has to dig to in order to have everything polished without a glitch
edit: To simply change the resolution only, you may wish to try < blade buddy > app from the market
