Hy everyone .
Until now the only way that I found to increase the quicklinks on the start menu was this tweak from Leo hints & Tips :
"22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots
Amazing tweak. Now have a 4 x 4 grid of quicklinks instead of a 3 x 3 grid. Install cab at bottom of post and reset. Please note you can only use the default black weather wallpaper when using the cab and also contacts photos will not show. If you will only use your quicklinks for apps and don't mind the black wallpaper, go ahead."
But wandering round on this forum I've seen new Sense themes with 4 quicklinks and with a background how did they do that ???
Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.

Thanks, dj_doeboy!!!

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.
please help me!!

choose the wall paper from animated wallpaper link not weather wallpapers (menu - home wallpapers - animated wallpapers -album and choose your favourite wallpaper and it will be shown without weather animations ) good noght
no i want weather wallpaper but without weather animation
There's a option called 'weather animation on/off switch'. You'll find it when adding a shortcut to your home screen.

The normal wallpaper shows the weather in the centre, but not the animation, so it does what you are asking?
It does show the animation, but only once. You can switch it off by the shortcut I mentioned above.
That weather animation shortcut is a part of Cookie's Home Tab. I don't think it is a part of the standard HTC Sense options. I use it, and it's great.
It is? I love it! I just got my HD2 and installed that cab almost immediately.
If you go through the 'Animated Wallpaper' option, amd select 'All' from the menu you then get all the wallpapers from weather, but without the annoying weather animations - only a small one when the actual weather app updates...
i am using elegancia rom and it has cookie hometab editor and cht editor. but i cannot figure out how to turn off this damn weather animation.. anyone please?
Hi guys,
Do you have any idea as to why my wallpapers won't change?
They change only if I choose animated wallpapers. If I choose weather wallpapers, they won't change at all.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
the weather has to change before a different weather wallpaper is applied!!
If you apply a "weather wallpaper" these are static and not animated - appart from the weather animation.

It doesn't work. The animated ones work, no matter if the weather update or not.
The static ones don't change at all. I have no ideea why.
So you are saying that the weather wallpaper does not animate, like when you unlock the phone or go from the start screen back to the home screen. Have you ever had the weather working (the wallpaper takes the last stored weather data to define the animation to use whether the weather data is currently being updated or not). I'm talking stock ROM without additionally interfaces and apps. Have you installed anything that chan ges the way the phone looks? A hard reset might work.
I Need help with getting Animated weather to work from my home screen it is working when I go into the weather tab but not on my home screen. I am using Kumar_s_TMUS_HD2_Touch_Prem_V3.0_S23142-WWEnglish Rom .
I have tried to change the wallpaper for home screen but I can't find any animated wallpapers. And I also did change setting in cookies to enable animation.
So someone please tell me what to do to fix this.
Try this tweak, working fine for me:
Disable/enable weather animation
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:0000000 2/0
Cheers.
Thx for the help, there is also a switch for it when you add tabs to home screen
