thanks

real question is how did he get taht background

I don't think it's one background. There are programs that can change your wallpaper based on time of day, I think that's what you see.

looks like holy clock

It's the glass clock from Manilla Customizer. The tool for changing the clock is attached to this post. I also attached a package with extra clocks. The glass clock is included in that package(Clocks need to be placed in the Manilla Customizer installation map). More packages for Manilla Customizer can be found here.

should i get this attachment or the one from the actual topic of manilla customizer? which one is more up to date?

ok i got the clock to work thanks crazyrooster! but the color of the clock didnt change. its still the ugly green

Transparent big clock, taskbar and slider for Touch Flo on Tilt 2?

Hi, can someone direct me on how to make my taskbars, (both bottom and top), slider and big clock transparent? I wanna have my home screen look like that.
Thanks a lot, guys..

Hi:
I am using this transparent clock, seems to work very well. I am not sure what thread it originated from, I found it in the Gfreek taskbar thread.

Thanks!
How do I actually apply that change? I installed the cab... not sure where I go to make the clock appear..

Before you install the cab., you need to disable TF3D (Start > settings > today settings> >items) The go back, install clock and restart TF3D
Good luck, this should work, works for me!

I installed the cab file, restarted my phone and clock came up as transparent after the reboot...

Hi:
Did you ever find the transparent slider or taskbar that would work for stock rom?
I would love to know if you did.
I can't seem to find anything on themes etc for Tilt2; I have posted a ton of places, and no one ever answers, so I guess there isn't anything available for the stock ROM
PS: I have found several threads that remove the top and bottom bars if you are interested, I find the info there too useful to just get rid of though, even though I hate them being black.
Thanks

Thanks so much. The transparent slider you mentioned, is it in the first post of that thread (didn't see anything in the second post)? Also since it is for Diamond, isn't it VGA? Does this pose a problem on WVGA?
Thanks!

Found! Cause of slowness in Sense 2.5 animated weather

Hi all, I thought I'd share a mini breakthrough I had with Animated Weather performance on the Sense 2.5 home screen on the TP2. The animation is 100% fast and smooth if you DON'T activate any wallpaper.
I'm using the stock WM 6.5 South East Asia ROM with the stock Manilla version 2.5.20121225.0. I was recently forced to reload my TP2 after a bad application install required a hard reset. I immediately noticed how much faster the weather animation was after the hard reset. It was 100% fast and smooth. So I only made incremental changes until I determined what the cause of the slowness was.
As soon as I enabled ANY of the weather wallpapers, the performance of the animated weather dropped to around 70%. The problem is that there's no way to remove the wallpaper after you've selected one - you can only change it to a different wallaper - so I had to do a hard reset again to restore the animated weather performance to 100%.
Does anyone know if there is a way of removing the wallpaper using a registry edit or a file system edit?
I know that Max Manilla has a 'remove wallpaper' feature in it, but I've found that the weather animation is still only around 70% with Max Manilla installed.

Have you also tried to slide up on the homepage, to display the 9 quicklaunch buttons? That also gives a fast, and smooth weather animation, even with a wallpaper.
The wallpaper itself is not the issue, it's the elements that are on the homepage that cause the problem (clock, calendar).
I think you can remove the wallpaper in the registry. It should be in [HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila].

Yes I think you're right, but I also believe that the wallpaper is like an additional element that the animation struggles with. If I have a wallpaper enabled then I can only have another 1-2 elements displayed before the animation suffers. With no wallpaper I can have 1. the clock (with the weather insert) 2. the calender and 3. the quick links, all displayed, and still have excellent animation performance.
I'll have a look at that registry key after work tonight and see if I can find the setting to disable the wallpaper.

I'd probably say those "elements" like the clock and short cuts and email and missed call notifactions are probably more important to ...... everyone.... then having clouds float across their screen

What I'm saying is, you can have all the elements displayed AND the weather animation nice and smooth, as long as you don't enable a wallpaper. I for one, happen to like the animation

Thanks for the tip. I found out that if you've enabled a wallpaper and now you want to disable it you just delete these 2 entries from the registry:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CachedBackgroundPath
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath
Neither of them exist prior to enabling a wallpaper

So, is it smoother once you delete these keys ?

It will be smoother but you will lose your wallpaper
Another way to improve animation performance is to minimize the number of things appearing on the home screen. I recommend using Cookie's home tab to remove the quicklinks
That way you can keep your wallpaper, have smooth weather animation, and still have access to quicklinks by swiping up
(Actually the clock involves a lot more lua scripts so removing the clock would be more effective...but I don't think anyone would do that )

I have a better idea... removing everything from the main screen. This way it will be very very fast.
Come on let's be serious !!! If you remove the quicklinks and a few other stuff you'd better with Sense 2.1
If removing the wallpaper makes an actual difference it's worth it (I like having a black or dark one anyway...). Btw Valkyrie ROMs are quite smooth even with the wallpaper on (Just wanna see if I can get it even faster)

Alcibiade said:

It's definitely smoother after you delete these keys. Even if you've selected a black wallpaper, deleting these keys will still help because it actually removes the wallpaper altogether, so there's one less thing the animation has to contend with.
I can't say if this is a good idea for those of you who have Cookies Home Tab or Max Manila installed. It works great for me though, on a stock ROM running Sense 2.5. Back up the Manila registry key first if you're not sure, so it can be easily restored. It seems there's no need to disable Touch Flo while making these changes - they can be made on the fly while touch flo is still running.

I tried this (deleting the two registry entries) on the stock Sprint 6.5 ROM - works great! Noticable improvement on the home page. Thank you!

come on dude...it's not like you will lose the quicklinks altogether...all you're compromising is an addition swipe
but anyways I myself prefer no weather animation, it's all up to the user

Man, same here.
It kinda irritated me in the first place having redundant information (to the weather tab) making Home tab elements harder to read, but then when I realized the effect it had on performance, it was GONE-dee.

Resco Explorer 2010 or PHM Registry Editor

MarkoFaca said:
Same question here, is there some registry software or what?! Sorry for dumb question, I'm new with TP2
Click to expand...

Yes- it's called a registry editor, and there are a number of options (Total Commander, PHM Registry Editor, etc).
If you don't know what you're doing, though, be careful- don't start deleting things you don't think need to be there, and so on. You can mess up the system in a fundamental way.

Thanks for helping, downloading Resco Explorer, will let you know what have I done with it

After changing my clock to an analogue one (from the Fallout theme here), the weather animation is a lot smoother. Everything is a lot smoother actually, so changing the clock does wonders for everything really.

Holy crap! You're right! I've been irritated with laggy homescreen for so long and it's that damn clock! Thanks for the tip!

i think is not related with the clock but the weather icon which below the clock...when i use cookie home tab and i use "clock without weather"...my homepage weather animation immediate feel lot smoother and faster...

Any way to just dissable the full screen weather animation? i want the weather... just dont care for the animation that comes up on the whole screen.

How to do away with animated clouds on stock rom (2.13)?

Im curious how to remove the animated clouds on the stock rom (2.13.xxxx)
I have everything setup the way I like and just cant figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

I was able to finally accomplish this with Cookies Home Tab Editor. I'm relatively sure it was that and not HDWalls.

Yes, CHTE has the option for that (not HDW)...it's a quicklink you can add once you have that installed.
There's also a registry edit that will do the same thing, but I don't happen to have it handy...just search on here for "disable fullscreen weather"

Got it with CHT, THanks!

without cht can use
HKCU/software/HTC/manila
Find the reg entry Home.WallpaperMode
set it to
0 for animated weather
1 for animated wallpaper
2 for plain (no weather)

Yup, that's the one! Thanks Sam...I'm actually going to save it this time

hehe, had to trawl through the registry for the key name and then search xda to find the info from last time.

You can also just select animated wallpaper instead of weather wallpaper, and then just choose the wallpaper you want, whether animated or not. Just another method for stock ROMs w/o CHT, or using the registry.

What about removing the weather in the flip clock?

CHT/CHTE will allow you to choose clocks that don't have the weather, but only certain types that are built that way...you can't just "remove" the weather from the regular ones.

i know there is also 'weather & toggle widget' from the market which has loads of skins, but it doesn't give you weather animations.
I was just wondering if anyone had managed to do this, or if it's possible!

For the 'Weather and Toggle Widget' the addon for weather animations (and a full screen weather page) is 'Weather Widget Forecast Addon'.

I jiggled around with mine an this is the result:

I would recommend beautiful widgets, it has tons of clock skins that are very similar to the htc default one, and u can change alot of stuff to make it looks almost as the basic one.
