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!
Credits go to Polystirenman. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600528
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.
Hi Guys,
I've seen various tweaks on the forums that add extra shorcuts to the home tab, 4x4, 5x4 etc.
My question is why can't the home tab shortcuts be made to work like the internet tab favourites shortcuts?
I like the spacing and the arrangement of the current 3x3, so why is it not possible to keep this but make the list 3x10 or whatever with the sliding scroll like the internet favs shortcuts?
Sorry if I am missing something here but I figured it was worth an ask...
Cheers.
That's what i want too but i believe making a 3x10 would make the home screen have more than 2 pages which is impossible by design (this is an assumption).

it must be possible because you can have many favourites on the internet tab ad you like, before I hard reset to stock I tried 20 on that tab (2x10) and it worked fine! now running 100% stock though.
Also looking for this....
I have only been able to remove the "Launch browser" image which takes about half of the screen.
Anyone been able to increase the number of shortcuts per row?
Hello,
I was just wondering if there is a way to change the default 3 icons wide quick launch icons using the TMOUS stock rom? I've seen custom roms with 4 and I'm thinking this would suit me better but I dont really want to flash a custom rom until I find out more of what I want.
TIA.

One of the greatest projects to ever come out of XDA is "CoOkie's Home Tab Editor" (aka "CHT")...it will allow you to do all sorts of customization to the home tab on your stock ROM (and on many custom ones as well). It's a powerful tool, but dirt-simple to use. There's also an add-on known as "CoOkie's Home Tab Editor" which gives it even more functionality and flexibility. It's going to be the easiest way to make the kinds of changes you're wanting...links to the threads for both of those are below, and the screenshot shows the customizing I've done to my stock ROM, 90% of which was achieved with CHT and the editor...
CoOkie's Home Tab
CoOkie's Home Tab Editor
In the screenshot below, CHT/CHTE are responsible for the following:
-The location and layout of the quick link icons (you can have even more on the screen than that, if you want)
-The clock/weather size, style, and position
-The notification bar just below the clock...size and location as well
-The custom device (carrier) name just above the clock
And that's really just the tip of the iceberg with what you can do with it
Great advice. Works great. Many thanks.
After using this for a couple of days and getting all the apps where I want them, it would be amazing if we could do the same thing to our contacts instead of being limited to 15.

Here is a link forum that I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6226386#post6226386
I have installed CHT and CHTEditor 1.7.11 and love the functionality that it adds, but one thing that I have lost is the ability to change the apps in the Home Tab itself. Does anyone else have this problem?

if you mean you can no longer apply quicklinks, you have probably ticked 'hide empty quicklinks'.
menu - cookies home tab editor - quicklink settings - hide empty quicklinks to off.
Just curious if anyone knows how to change the primary shortcuts listed across the bottom of the screen? I dont like samsungs stock messaging, want to put handcent there instead. Also want to change the rest of them, except applications lol.

From what I have read, you cannot.

You cannot change the app dock in EPIC. Hopefully that feature will be added in the upcoming updates of GPS and Froyo.
As of now EPIC can't change apps on the dock. Cannot remove/add homescreens. Has basic music player and no eqaulizer as found in captivate and vibrant.
http://www.amitbhawani.com/blog/how-to-delete-or-replace-default-dock-icons-samsung-galaxy-s/
Does this not work?
Only thing I can suggest is ADW launcher or Launcher Pro (I use this). You can have handcent in the dock (I have it there).
Also, thank goodness the Epic 4G still has the Samsung Video player which looks so sweet! It also has the 5.1 surround sound button too

Thats because the Fascinate runs TW 3.0....the epic runs 2.5 due to landscape issues in 3.0 and you cannot change the apps in the dock on 2.5. I would definitely suggest ADW or Launcher pro, TW works great but it isn't customizable like adw or launcher pro and both work amazing as well

I was able to change my "Messaging" to Handcent by doing the following:
1) Go to Applications/Menu/Edit
2) On the primary shortcuts, press and hold the shortcut you wish to remove and drag it up by the rest of your apps. You should now have an open slot.
3) Find the Handcent icon and drag it down to the primary shortcuts bar.
4) Click Menu/Save
You should now have Handcent app as a primary shortcut.

This absolutely will work (personal experience doing this on both Froyo and GB stock). One note - you will need to make sure your applications are in "grid view" instead of "list mode" or you won't get the right menu options... at least that's what I recall.

Hello,
I wanted to ask how to change icons on home screen of apps that dont get changed by official samsung store themes without using another launcher. Id need to save the icons first, and then replace them by edited versions. Kind of creating my own icon set. Is this even possible? Do I have to root my device this for?
Thanks in advance for every help.

If you want to replace the default icons for each individual app you can't as the icons image file is stored in the .apk file and replacing them is not worth it......if you want to create an icon pack you will need a 3rd party launcher for using it or you can create a theme that works on Samsung store.....at least that's my understanding.....
