Hi, I had a Touch HD and on here there was a nice little .cab that made all the tabs share the same Home Tab's background, when I moved to the Touch Pro2, it messed everything up and I had to find one someone made on here especially for the Touch Pro2, now it's the same on Touch Pro2 6.5 (the official ROM), does anyone have an installer to fix this (or even tell me what to edit in the registry, thanks!)
You should try this tool. Remember to switch to the WinMo 6.5 profile.
Perfect, thank you very much!
is there another way then this?

Trust me. You want to use this tool. It's easy to use if you just play around with it and read the instructions.
3 reasons for you to do so...
1. Your wallpaper will come out nicer (more high-def, sharper and more vivid colors)
2. Your landscape wallpaper won't be all messed up. And you can use another image altogether if you want.
3. You'll be able to see the weather animations on your Home tab with your wallpaper.
i guess ill give it another try
Does this HDWall work on 6.5 w/ Manilla 2.5?

yes perfectly!
Asked this in Q&A section, but guess its a bit more relevant to here!
Probs a simple (or stupid ) question, however -
I've just installed the official TP2 update, just wondering how or what triggers the full screen weather effects on the calender/homepage?
I've seen screenshots and vids etc of the full screen effects but haven't actually seen them so far on the today page. Is there specific config or do they just "happen" on their own randomly.
Thanks in advance
betas
I think those are still in beta test phase. THere are a few ROMs here on XDA that have it built in. Look around in the various ROMs and see.
I am using the standard HTC WWE WM6.5 ROM and when I first installed the ROM I noticed the full screen weather animation at the home screen, however I have not seen it since for some reason! I'm not sure why, but it was cool and I want it to come back, not sure how.

Your not the only one. On 1st install, the weather was "foggy" and I got full screen fog. I've never ever seen it since, even though I had other "foggy" days. This is on the stock HTC WWE 6.5 ROM.

Yes, saw the same Could this be a feature of the HTC ROM? Can those using a cooked ROM comment?
dunno if this helps, but I have only seen the weahter animations on the home screen when you have default wallpaper.
As soon as you change to a custom wallpaper the animations stop.

You may be right! I switched back to default HTC wallpaper, put the phone in standby and then when I come out of standby the weather animation appears. Well, if that's true, that kinda sucks that we can't have the animation and the wallpaper of our choice.
The full screen weather animation is only for Leo ROMs which are Manila 2.5/6. The TP2 official update is only to like 2.2 (dunno what it is officially but it's not 2.5/6. Anyhow, you won't get the full screen weather unless you flash a custom ROM (or so I've heard and seen).

I have full screen weather animations with standard HTC WWE 6.5 ROM, but as stated previously, it will only work when default HTC wallpaper is selected.

comfirmed this works.
Tis a shame, even with a basic non animated wallpaper it doesn't work. However least we know the fix/workaround so there is a choice to be had.
kudos to reaper for the heads up.
I'm using the Max Manilla 2.5 Ultimate 1.1 theme (see picture in sig) and it allows
me to chose my own background and still shows the weather animation
on the home screen. You can even trigger the animation yourself by tapping the top left corner of the screen.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489 to find it.
Read through the first 2 posts to see all the options this theme has.

What version of manila? Have you set your own wallpaper or using the default?
<edit> Is there any way to manually change the windows default wallpaper? Might be a quick hack to get a user specified background to work? </edit>
HTC HD MIRI V 13.0 No weather wallpapaer animation at all but weather demo is their nay suggestions?
I agree.
I have been running the custom Energy rom with Manila 2.1 and if I switch back to the HTC Black today theme then I get the full screen animation.
Thats the only one that has the full screen.

I have the latest Photon with 2.5, and if I set the wallpaper to default, and change the theme to HTC Black, then go to my home screen, tap the windows menu, then it back, it will full animate. Had sunny rays shoot out, and now have partly cloudy clouds drift across.
when i used energy photon 2.1 with hdwall for my tab backgrounds i had no problems. using his leo 2.5 and its there as well. i highly suggest using hd wall because some backgrounds seem to cancel out the weather animations
Task Manager
Whenever I hit the task manager in the top right hand corner while on the home tab, it usually triggers it. Hit it twice. Once to bring it up. Once to make it go away. Boom. Weather.
I have the official TP2 update for wm6.5, the weather animation can be activated on the home screen only with the default wallpaper. Also it can be brought up at will in two ways. hitting the windows start button soft or physical and closing it out by hitting the call end/home button or tapping the x in the top right corner immediately.
Hi peeps,
Have been a Touch Diamond 2 user with a recent Sense flashed ROM from the LEO and previously have been on a SE Xperia.
I'm now making the move into the world of the HD2 and have a question.
Is it possible to change the home-screen wallpaper and still have the nice weather animation?
Kev
As far as i know till now...nope. But i am 100% sure that in the future someone will tweak the HD2, just wait for the custom roms
As far as I knew it was also "nope", but then I saw the slashgear review today:
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-hd2-review-0663062/
The screenshot is self-explaining and in the video you can see that there is a different background but still with weather animations on top of it.

Isn't that one of the built-in wallpapers though? I was under the impression that if you set it to anything else you'd lose the weather. That's certainly the way it appears to work with the Leo ROMs I've been running on my X1.
Using manila v 2.5.1920 (which comes in stock LEO rom) it allows you to select any static wallpaper you wish and it will apply the weather animations over the top.
You just select weather wallpaper, it then loads your album to let you select the wallpaper picture you desire.
This works fine on my own cooked blackstone ROM using packages from LEO shipped

Thanks for the simple explanation! I needed to do this for the cooked SSS rom r2 which is derived from LEO.
Hi all...
I really searched the hell out of me and didn't find anything that helped me.
I upgraded my Topaz ROM from WinMobile 6.1 (original build) to a 6.5 Version with Manila 2.5 (Shadowline Series Build 28014x3) today. So far everything was good.
Until I tried the full-screen weather plugin. Since then my htc has (displaying) problems. The Today-Screen does not display anymore (it always shows the last screen, e.g. at logon the PIN-input screen remains) (=issue 1). I can still open the start menu which works and use all programs, except the settings tab, which gets highlighted as if started and then hangs as well (=issue 2). And so unfortunately I cannot remove the option for full-screen weather anymore.
Is there a chance to make the full-screen weather plugin undone in the registry (I couldn't find a tweak for this) as I think that this feature is the reason for the problems.
I knew that Manila 2.5 would be a bit too much for the Topaz for it only has 528 MHz. Now this is what I have from my desire for this build :-/
I already downloaded a ROM from Dutty and one with Sense 2.1. Nevertheless I wanna try the Shadowline without the weather plugin as well (as I like this ROM most). What would you experts suggest? Downgrade to Sense 2.1, use Dutty's ROM (which is said to be faster) or what else?
Thanks for any help!!!
Manfred.
The problem is HTC Sense
Latest news...
Without htc sense the ROM works fine. I unchecked the option in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense -> Enabled=0), restartet my Topaz. Then I chose windows standard for the home screen -> works.
Nevertheless I want to use HTC Sense but cannot find the reg-key for deactivating the full-screen weather option. The Sense seemed to have worked fine until I chose this option and set my home town as weather-location.
Thx, Manfred.
just make or pick a plain wallpaper and select it as animated wallpaper and the homescreen animation will go away.
Re-installation works
I re-installed the ROM completely and now it works, even if the full-screen weather animation is on. Okay, the animation runs slowly but nothing freezes as it was before.
Thx for your support.
Just like the title says, I've been searching every where but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. Basically I'm looking for a transparent clock that shows the weather animation for the stock t mobile 6.5 ROM. all I seem to find is clock for the 2.5 sense minlia but this t mobile version has 2.1 sense minlia so they never work. also is their a cab that will work with this stock Rom that will remove the top curtain and make it transparent as well. Thank you in advance for any and all help in steering me in the right direction.
