Hello,
I have seen a great deal of posts on the improvement of the Weather display / animation. Even some complaining about or applauding its functionality. Oddly though I have not seen any that ask if it can be removed entirely.
I know this is personal choice but for me I don't want any weather to be displayed at all. Can this be achieved?
Cheers.

Do you mean the wallpaper animation, or the animation on the clock?
On the clock.I would really prefer no weather at all on my home screen.

Fair enough. I know how to remove the animated wallpaper, but not the bit on the clock.
I'm sure someone on here must be able to help you though.
To disable weather animation.
1 - 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.
or
2 - just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it!

Neither work. The registry change you mentioned is already set to 2. Actually I did that earlier whilst trying to find a solution. Whatever wallpaper I choose I still see the weather.
Not sure you understood my question completely though. I want to get rid of the weather entirely not just the animation.
Plus one on this .. all this weather mania is beyond me ..
no weather on home 4 me too
me too
i would like to get rid of that too, aleady seen in leo themes section under transparent clock and slider but got no response in how to do that
anybody please?

Tried that thanks. All that did was change my wallpaper. Tried changing it to 2 also. Can't remember what the default was anymore though.
Ok people .. once again .. this thread is about disabling ANY WEATHER INFORMATION on home screen. Not just the wallpaper.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCServices\WeatherService\WeatherService.dll
Rename to WeatherService.dll.back then soft reset. Rename back to restore.
I have created a cab file for it for those who are interested.
Oh yes indeed. Many thanks that is just right!
It works .. just don't try 'weather settings' from the menu !

Definetely good trick.. Thanks
But i'm noticed "world clock" feature also disabled with this setting..
I noticed that too. I suspect they're connected and it's unavoidable.
I do it in a different way. I dont like the bugie effect of disabling the weather DLL.
You can disable "my location" and choose my location as your default clock.
When you update the weather, it will not be updated for "my location" and in this way you get a cleaner home screen.
Whenever you want, you can choose your favorite location and get the weather info for it.

I just installed new official 6.5 rom so I will see how it goes on my TD2.
My question is: how do you activate that weather effect on whole screen, rain drops, clouds etc.?
It show 2-3 times at my home screen, don't know what I pressed, but is there any way to get that effect when I like? (so I can make fun with my iPhone friends ). Seriously, is there how to activate it?
It go automatic after weather update tab for home city...
No, it still doesn't work for me.
It showed 2-3 times when I installed new ROM, but since then I cannot see that effect, no matter if I update weather forecast.

tap on the programmlist on the taskbar and close it
If you hit the windows button, and afterwards the back button you'll get the animation for the current weather condition.
cheers
It also runs the animation if you hold the "Home" button when on the Home Tab to lock the screen and then unlock.
For some reason it only works with the default wallpaper though.

I was going nuts when trying to get the damned effects _off_ and custom wallpaper did the trick!
Yes, I tried everything, close it, windows/back, it didn't work.
I works ONLY with default wall paper!!
Damn, I just installed wallpaper changer
Guess that this is bug then or not

If you take the phone outside, you always get the correct weather on the screen
yes it only works with default wallpaper only. Does anybody know if with manila 2.5 also works with default wallpaper only?

On the home page, do Menu, Home Wallpaper, Animated Wallpaper, and just pick the background of your choice. You can select animated ones, or just browse to a static image of your choice.
Edit:
I just thought, if you mean the small animation that's on the clock, I've got no idea! The description above gets rid of the weather animated background.
I'm not sure about the question too .. anyway if he meant the background, yes, that is the way.
However I'd like to get rid of the weather altogether.
the thing is when i first got the phone there was no weather at all on the clock calendar thing, but i want to get rid of that, i find it quite distracting
anyway ive just turned it on now for teh sake of peace, its annoying,

It probably wasn't there at first because it's set to use "my location" as default, and that generally doesn't work, so you get no weather.
o yeah thats right, if its my location nothing happens, it makes sense because after i deleted my location thats when it started happening, makes sense !! finally thank god
No weather animation on clock can be disabled

I posted a question in FLipzs' 2.1 thread about how to remove the HTC lockscreen and Katmandu4responded with:

I did this and have the normal 2.1 lockscreen visible now but the problem I am having is that its is clear, i can see my homescreen underneath likke the "clear as a bell" lockscreen. anyone have any ie to get the blue back on?
If you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it will place what ever you pick behind.

Same here. Without the "albums" being accessible I don't think we can change the lockscreen wallpaper.
VoX is yours clear as well?
I forget where it is at, but there is a googlebits.zip or something like that floating around, with an albums in it, that works. On my 2.1 I can adjust wallapapers/locksceen. On an interesting note...I guess with the "rotate" lockscreen..it stays clear..I just found that out..whoops. I guess when I am done with the other 2.1 projects I am working on, I will take a look at porting the "rotate" part from ASOP. Then again, maybe someone with a bit more code experience will know how to unclear the background.
yea if we can unclear the background that would work because the lockscreen is functional, so i guess no reason to port.
Has anyone been able to add a back ground to the clear 2.1 lockscreen?
So will this be available for our HTC Hero..?...I really liked the lockscreen and always wanted it...Atleast till we get a fully functional 2.x ROM..
when you try to select a lockscreen wallpaper by clicking Albums, do you get a com.htc.launcher FC?
thats what I got after messing around with it a little. anyone have googlebits with working albums?

I'm in the same boat as you are, it I get a fc when I press Albums, but it still doesn't change when if you hit the Wallpaper gallery button, so idk if it the albums thing would work.
Unlike you I kinda like the clear wallpaper, I just don't like the clock on the lockscreen, it covers my HTC clock

Same boat here. Maybe we can remove the info on the lockscreen?
any progress here for anyone else...? I've been trying a lot, but nothing seems to work so far.
Has anyone been able to remove the htc bar for incoming calls also?
clear background
I get a clear background as well.
Hi,
I installed Touch X Task Manager which seems to work like a charm but on the "Home" tab I get a weird glitch.
When I push the upper right corner to get the tasks list to appear and then close it again the clock does it's "flip" animation, as it would if you were for example unlocking the phone and the weather animation starts.
Is this normal and is there anyway to disable it when using the task manager?
TIA.

That is normal.
For whatever reason, closing the task manager refreshes the home tab, therefore causing it to do the "show off our clock" rubbish that HTC thought was a good idea.
There's a cab in this thread called "Touch_X_Homescreen_Flip_clock_OFF".
It stops the clock flip, but not the weather animation. Also, the weather animation plays every time the clock flips. This also bugs me, but not as much as that -1 hour and 2 minutes rubbish did.
Hope that helps
Cheers mate.
I saw this before bu I'm assuming that cab disabled the "refresh flip" entirely, I don't mind it in general but it was a little annoying when it happens everytime you open/close the task manager!!
Hrm, I might live with it for now, if it bugs me to the point of distraction then I will install the cab!
Am I the only one not annoyed by the clock flip? It just doesn't get to me...

You can also get rid of the weather animation if you chose the animated wallpaper setting in the manila settings tab, ( you can still chose a non animated wallpaper) or your current wallpaper and this will get rid of the weather animations, but keep the weather pics, from home (not weather) screen. It may sound a bit confusing but I managed to get rid of both annoyances.

I don't see an actual widget for it. But go into setting>lockscreen>additional information >turn it on then check weather. In the lockscreen setting also make sure show date is checked.
I think that is what you're asking. Mine is transparent on my lockscreen, but can't remember if I made it that way or rom I'm running lol

its the stock weather widget. long press the home screen until you see widgets. tap it. look for weather. you can make it transparent in the options for it.
