michealjohn,
Might I suggest you update your signature with your info for what ROM you are on etc, or at least state what ROM you are on before you post a ROM related question?
Otherwise no one can help you.
sorry for not providing enough info...here we go to my signature
For me is Start/Settings/All settings/Today/in Appearance tab , check box Use this picture as background and Browse. It changes picture in main windows menu and also lock screen.
max17,
Perfect.. this is what I want. thanks for you help.
And I have one more query when I browsed the files for setting the background, it's not showing up all the images. In type drop down, it has "Picture Files" and what are the format it will support like (jpg,gif....).
Since I have more files in one of my folder and when I searched thru' this option nothing is showing.. any clue...?
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.
hey guys and most likley gals.
i have a problem thats bugging me, i changed my background to a personal picture but when i scroll across my tabs to (for example) my email it shows the default background, i want it to show the same personal background no matter what tab im in.
i know its probably something really stupid that i havent done but i just cant figure it out
would really appreciatte some help on this
thanks
This has been asked and answered a couple of times here on the forum. You have to use m2dc(manilla 2d customizer) to set up a default background throughout manilla(touchflo). Changing the wallpaper only changes the background on the home tab and on the start menu. So set it as a wallpaper and also as a background in m2dc(which can be easily found here on xda).

no it doesnt
it has been way too long since i used WM6.5...but if i remember correctly, there are THREE wallpapers that can be set independently of one another:
1. the lock screen wallpaper (there are tools to set this but can also be manually set by placing a path to whatever wallpaper you want in some lock screen XML file)
2. the start menu wallpaper (same as your homescreen wallpaper when Sense is NOT running)...you can set this by going into Settings->Personal->Themes (i seriously don't remember the exact way to get to the theme settings)
3. this wallpaper takes effect when Sense is set as your homescreen. it can be set from within some menu of Sense itself.
i think you are asking about point 2 above...see if that helps!
Currently I have two homescreens with a scrollable wallpaper. When I first added the wallpaper, the widgetlocker screen would have the part of the wallpaper that is on screen two. Now it's moved to screen one for some reason and I'd like to change it back to the way it was as I'd moved the widgets around to fit in with the colour of the background.
Thanks
In the widgetlocker settings u can tick Alternate wallpaper and select the part which you want
Ah, I downloaded the wallpaper using the Backgrounds app. I dont think it saves to a place where I can view it.
edit: nevermind theres an option to save it on the app. Thanks!
