[Q] Bing Wallpaper BG Question - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey guys, I have a question. I wanted to see if it was maybe just a isolated incident on my phone or if everyone else was experiencing it on their HD2 with WP7 rom.
Since I upgraded the rom to wp7, the Bing search background wallpaper has been a picture of the marsupial eating plant (sort of like the Venus Fly Trap) anyways, I thought the image was supposed to change daily, as it does on the normal search webpage.
I actually enjoy looking at the images and reading the little factoids that accompany them. So I wanted to know if you guys wallpaper changes daily or stays the same.
Thanks.
Eddie

Changes every day - though it seems to be around 8pm GMT for me...
Cheers
Paul

Thats all i needed to know. I will try to reinstall it again, and see if that fixes the issue.
Thank You very much Paul for your speedy reply.

Timed Wallpaper changer

Hello all,
2 hours of fruitless searching has prompted me to post here.
Does anyone know of a program that will rotate/cycle/change your Today screen background/wallpaper at a time interval? (10mins, etc)
(I suppose I'd pay $10 or so for it?)
Thanks guys!,
Dax.
I use StocksAndWeather for that. Not only does it cycle through your today screen themes, but it's a weather (and stocks) manager too. Gives you weather updates and warnings, but the kicker is that it comes with weather themes and changes the theme based on the weather. So if it's raining outside then the theme will be rain related. If it's snowing then the theme will show snow. It's a pretty neat program. You can also install your own themes to rotate in. Here is the link
http://www.stocksandweathertoday.com/
The weather icons are also animated so it makes your today screen look good, and you can instantly tell what the weather is like outside based on the theme. It's one of my favorites.
Hey there!
Thanks for your quick response!
That's not exactly what I was after, I just want to change JUST the background, not the whole theme. But thanks anyway!
Dax.
Just to register my interest in a utility that can do this. Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything as yet.
There must be something out there.
Thanks
WB
Well it can't be impossible, so yeah, I just wish someone would make it too.
It's such a shame I know nothing about programming.
Anymore on this please? Still looking.
Thanks
WB
Sorry WB, seems like no-one else likes our idea!
Dax,
Unfortunately seems you could be right. These tools are readily available for PC but it seems not for PPC.
Anyway lets not give up the search and if either of us finds something we should let the other know.
I will bookmark this thread for future reference.
Cheers
WB
@dax/wackyB: Guys, I don't need the money. will make something for u guys. am swamped right now by some other thing that i'm trying to do...will see if I get some time before this sunday..shudn't be too hard I think....
G'day mate!
That's very noble of you, thanks for your offer!
Whenever you're ready, just let us know, no pressure
Thanks so much,
Dax.
Theme Manager Plus does this.

Hi PhonePhun,
I believe that program only rotates themes, not wallpapers/backgrounds.
Which would mean you would have to create a seperate theme for every wallpaper you wanted to use.
Besides being inefficient, it wouldn't actually be all bad, but considering you can't create themes with wallpapers that work in both portrait AND landscape configuration, setting a wallpaper is still the best way to go.
Thanks for your input though!
All the best,
Dax.
Shantg001,
That is an EXCELLENT offer, very much appreciated. Let us know when you are done.
More than happy to make a contribution if required as I have been looking for a tool like this for a very long time.
Cheers

[THM] LOST Theme

[Theme cancelled]
sorry, no time to do it, very busy with my job...
This would be definitly fantastic. Great idea. I love LOST.
Great idea, I'd love to see this. I'm a huge LOST fan
Sounds good, nice idea, I hope someone can do it
so any volunteer?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Idea
how to create additional tab in manila?
I need some ideas on icons... i am ready to listen
Hm. It`s quite difficult. Perhaps the symbols of the different stations on the island.
...perhaps like this
http://rapidshare.com/files/154170629/Dharma.zip.html
aha, i got it, every station had it's purpose... thx, will try.
this is looking great so far!! any update on the process?
i am a bit busy with my job, but will update soon. I changed my mind, i have another idea on how this can look like. will post soon.(weekend 25-26)
when it is ready?
thanks
i am working on L'amour theme now, but this one will be remade
How is it going.
Hey.
Im a big fan of lost just wondering how it´s going with the theme?
Take care
yes i would love to see this go some where!
Hi to you all!
I'm quite new to the forum but ever since I found my way to it I've spent hours on it
I've been trying to learn to make some icons and stuff and I practiced with the Lost theme. I don't really know how to make themes or cab files or anything, but I thought I could share that little something that I came up with....
I found some icons from this site: http://www.lostseasons.com/lost-icons/ and all the credit to those who made'em. I guess those can be used since they are there available for download. If some one knows otherwise let me know?
Anyway, all the icons were on the big sheet so I had to cut them to individual ones and do some resizing and make the background transparent etc....You can link the .png files to the Diamond icons with Manila editor or if you wish I can share my set of manila files...I just don't know yet if the order of the icons is good or not.
I also attach two wallpapers, other one found from somewhere from this forum (the dharma background) and other one found from some wallpapersite and resized/cropped for optimal resolution...I noticed someone else thinking the same that me too about the dharma stations used as icons and that might be a good idea for other "theme" with the attached dharma wallpaper.
So here's my contribution to the Forum
I just hope I'm not "stepping to anyone's toes" with this....?
14 Tab Icons - Dharma - Lost
I've taken some icons that Toranaga79 posted and combined them with the stock white Icons to create what IMO is a classy set of Tab Icons. I don't use the stock tab, so I didn't create on, if someone really wants it, I'm sure I could whip one up. Hope you like them!
I've created a cab to install the icons. Remember to disable TF3D from you today setup menu before installing/uninstalling.
Looks good nkryptit, I like them!
Thanks
I like the lost themes. Good job

going from hero to CM. questions and wants.

first off, i'm still pretty much a n00b to android modding. and i'm giving up on hero cause i've just never had a rom work perfectly. So i downloaded GDE and i love it and gives me one of the features i wanted from hero. I can live without the bookmark widget that i love so much. so i've decided i want something stable and with 1.6 so CM it is.
So first things first outside of whats here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about is there any special SPL or other mod i have to do. Or do i have to put back an older SPL because i installed a hero rom?
2nd question. I'd really like an eclair icon theme (with all the new eclair icons) but with the HERO style notification bar. i tried searching but there were soo many and many were way to crazy. Basically all i want is just the eclair icons+hero bar.
Okay, now heres the part that i really need some help understanding. I know people ported some of the HTC apps to the G1, can this be done to CM on the mytouch? mainly these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515840 To have the hero gallery/camera/keyboard would be just down right amazing.
Also, even though i know the answer is probably no, is there anyway to get the HTC browser on CM?
Guess one last thing would be, anyway to get the hero lock screen for CM?
And thats that. If any of the answers are no, thats fine i'll still go to CM but i'm really hoping i can get as much hero as possible.
Thanks in advance.
40 views and 18 hours and no replies? kinda sucks.
Well i did a few things myself. apparently CM has the eclair icons now so that saved that trouble. Even though the market one dosn't have the icon unless i use bettercut it seems impossible to give it the icon casue metamorph keeps making the market crash.
found a nice hero style bar which i actually modified myself a bit. Nice to see you can modify the metamorph images before you use them.
But still can't find any answer to my last 3 questions. the haykuro apps, the htc browser, and the hero lock screen

Grey Wallpaper preview in Sense Roms

Hello,
I am a huge fan of the sense roms over here, but I discovered a problem in almost all roms(this happends to me atleast), I have used the Energy Rom, and the hadric sense rom, and a couple other sense roms. When I want to set a wallpaper, I go the the backgrounds tap, there you have this flippy wallpaper preview, where you can slide through the wallpapers, All wallpapers are grey, like they can't preview, so are the Live wallpapers. Anyone else having this problem too?
Thanks in advance.
Well I would definitely suggest searching next time friend, posts like this leave you open for flaming or bashing. This is a well known and documented issue with Sense 3.xx roms since the beginning. If you want to see them just select menu then grid view.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I always search for items, but I couldn't find something about this, and I've never found something in a thread about the tabs. If a similar thread like this already exists, I am sorry for this. I am just interested in making a rom perfectly . Thanks for your advice btw.
I think is different hardware cause hd2 is porting,,,,
maybe not fully all features can be use.....
