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.

can anyone make a cab to add the my location weather thouch flo tab into the tilt 2 stock rom?
I dont think it can be done. It is coded in the manila itself. You just need to flash to a better stock ROM with weather in home screen!
This is the very thing that prompted me to flash a ROM other than the stock AT&T ROM.
AT&T ROM worked so well I didn't what to mess with it, but having the weather clock proved too tempting. So far so good. I love having the weather clock and the weather wallpaper scroll across my home screen.
I went with At0mAng's ATT ROM. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568233
So far so good. It is fairly light on app. I just added the one I wanted and am good to go for now.
Curious.... can you just install that version of manila or is it so integrated with the ROM to make that option impossible?
i'm not talking about the weather on the clock, thats cool but not what i want.
i'm just talking about the weather tab being able to find my local weather instead of adding to a list of cities
The "My Location" feature on the Weather tab is also a feature of that Manila version as well (I think).

Got ya... At least in the ROM I'm using that local weather in the tab and the clock are the same. If it tap the clock weather it takes me to the tab.

Same thing! Weather comes in different Manila package, so you have to install a ROM that has that Manila.

you can enable the "my location" feature in the registry but i'm not sure if it works since it needs some package such HTC GeoService and GoogleLocation. HKU/Software/HTC/Manila/Weather.EnableCurrentLocation set it to 1 also HKU/Software/HTC/Manila/Weather.HasMyLocation set it to 1. then soft reset.
Has anyone found a way to add to the list of cities on the weather tab?
try the europe official rom on this post.......it works great and includes the my location you are looking for...................................................................................................................http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570366

There are a couple weather editors on XDA. I used JHV3 Weather City editor. The truth is that once you get the manila file modified by it you can copy it out, uninstall the program and then copy back the manila file and set one reg entry (weather update override one) and you are back to the way you were before installing.
As for the "My location" reg entry, I tried that and it said "no data" no matter which site I chose but My guess is that it doesnt actually know where you are.
I too would like to add this and the weather on the home screen and would be fine with the stock rom. I guess this will involve picking apart the gen Y updates and finding what adds this. I have a FUZE that is out of warranty that I can test this with.
on a related note, I've ported the myLocation service that I wrote to Titanium Weather already. The result is pretty cool; the Titanium Weather panel always shows local weather data without any need to update your location. Manilla is next but I'm not much of a manilla expert atm. I'm running an Energy Rom on my Fuze however so hopefully I'll figure it out itnf.

Have you made any headway on this yet?
Is it possible to remove the 'useless' weather graphics from the clock on the home screen of the new M2D (as on the Mega/touch2). It doesn't work so I'd rather just have the clock!

Should be gone with below registry change. Use any reg edit program to change.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0

Worked for me, but I am running stock rom WM6.5 WWE. Not sure if you have a cooked rom that might be the problem.
i have put that regestry value to "0", but still i find the weather animation on the homescreen... anything else i need to know?
edit: well i found the answer to taking away the animation, which u get by simply changing ur homescreen background. But thats just the weather animation tho.
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!

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.

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.
I have a TP2, with Manila 2.1 and WM6.5. How do I get rid of the @#$%^&* flippy clock without installing Manila 2.5?

Thanks, but this doesn't seem to allow replacement of the flippy clock, it just makes it better behaved. Unless I'm reading the intro message wrong.
"Flick" up anywhere on your home screen and the clock will change to a smaller, non "@#$%^&* flippy" one. It isn't the best looking, but it might be what you are looking for.

Thanks, I know about that one. Ideally, I'd like to find something like the old HTC Home Customizer, which would offer a selection of clock fonts and styles.

Have you seen Cookie's Home Tab - you can choose an analogue clock or keep flip clock but disable the animation and/or have a smaller flip clock.

Did you not read his first post? He said he doesn't want to install Sense 2.5.
The steps previously posted work to stopping the flipping clock in 2.1, I tried it and no more flipping animation .

The link in post #3. Just install the cab and it stops the flipping (believe only in portrait but I really only press the home button when in portrait anyway) and it does not mess with your current clock style .

Looks like this tool doesn't really change the clocks, and a number of people who tried it had serious problems and couldn't uninstall it. I think I'll pass.
I hoping someone out there could help me out. I'm trying to figure the path from icon to application that the icons on the slider have. Some icons on the slider, (photos & videos, sprint navigation, etc..) when picked, take you to a different looking version of that application versus click on the icons in the programs list. What I'm trying to figure out is, where or how do I find what application the icons on the slider are linked to, by path or otherwise. If you could provide me with any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sense 2.5? Cookies Home Tab Editor allows you to change what applications launch with some of the slider tabs (along with a bunch of other awesome customizations).
You will need to have both Cookies Home Tab, and the Editor installed.
