Asked this in Q&A section, but guess its a bit more relevant to here!
Probs a simple (or stupid ) question, however -
I've just installed the official TP2 update, just wondering how or what triggers the full screen weather effects on the calender/homepage?
I've seen screenshots and vids etc of the full screen effects but haven't actually seen them so far on the today page. Is there specific config or do they just "happen" on their own randomly.
Thanks in advance

I think those are still in beta test phase. THere are a few ROMs here on XDA that have it built in. Look around in the various ROMs and see.
I am using the standard HTC WWE WM6.5 ROM and when I first installed the ROM I noticed the full screen weather animation at the home screen, however I have not seen it since for some reason! I'm not sure why, but it was cool and I want it to come back, not sure how.

Your not the only one. On 1st install, the weather was "foggy" and I got full screen fog. I've never ever seen it since, even though I had other "foggy" days. This is on the stock HTC WWE 6.5 ROM.

Yes, saw the same Could this be a feature of the HTC ROM? Can those using a cooked ROM comment?
dunno if this helps, but I have only seen the weahter animations on the home screen when you have default wallpaper.
As soon as you change to a custom wallpaper the animations stop.

You may be right! I switched back to default HTC wallpaper, put the phone in standby and then when I come out of standby the weather animation appears. Well, if that's true, that kinda sucks that we can't have the animation and the wallpaper of our choice.
The full screen weather animation is only for Leo ROMs which are Manila 2.5/6. The TP2 official update is only to like 2.2 (dunno what it is officially but it's not 2.5/6. Anyhow, you won't get the full screen weather unless you flash a custom ROM (or so I've heard and seen).

I have full screen weather animations with standard HTC WWE 6.5 ROM, but as stated previously, it will only work when default HTC wallpaper is selected.

comfirmed this works.
Tis a shame, even with a basic non animated wallpaper it doesn't work. However least we know the fix/workaround so there is a choice to be had.
kudos to reaper for the heads up.
I'm using the Max Manilla 2.5 Ultimate 1.1 theme (see picture in sig) and it allows
me to chose my own background and still shows the weather animation
on the home screen. You can even trigger the animation yourself by tapping the top left corner of the screen.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489 to find it.
Read through the first 2 posts to see all the options this theme has.

What version of manila? Have you set your own wallpaper or using the default?
<edit> Is there any way to manually change the windows default wallpaper? Might be a quick hack to get a user specified background to work? </edit>
HTC HD MIRI V 13.0 No weather wallpapaer animation at all but weather demo is their nay suggestions?
I agree.
I have been running the custom Energy rom with Manila 2.1 and if I switch back to the HTC Black today theme then I get the full screen animation.
Thats the only one that has the full screen.

I have the latest Photon with 2.5, and if I set the wallpaper to default, and change the theme to HTC Black, then go to my home screen, tap the windows menu, then it back, it will full animate. Had sunny rays shoot out, and now have partly cloudy clouds drift across.
when i used energy photon 2.1 with hdwall for my tab backgrounds i had no problems. using his leo 2.5 and its there as well. i highly suggest using hd wall because some backgrounds seem to cancel out the weather animations
Task Manager
Whenever I hit the task manager in the top right hand corner while on the home tab, it usually triggers it. Hit it twice. Once to bring it up. Once to make it go away. Boom. Weather.
I have the official TP2 update for wm6.5, the weather animation can be activated on the home screen only with the default wallpaper. Also it can be brought up at will in two ways. hitting the windows start button soft or physical and closing it out by hitting the call end/home button or tapping the x in the top right corner immediately.
Do any of you who are more smart than me (all of you,) know of a .cab with the standard winmo 6.5 lock screen? The ROM I am running overwrites it with a more bland looking screen. Thanks for any and all help.

Do you have the htc version of the lockscreen? Or is it the old style ulock softkey and then ugly old style unlock button..?

The HTC, I believe. It has a white and black color scheme with rows of square number and a large rectangular unlock button. It's not the classic style with the rounded buttons, owner info, and softkey unlock.
I would like the rounded buttons with the contacts and mail shortcuts in the row of the unlock button.

Shoot... Installed and both "Classic" and "Default" look like "Classic" now. I wonder if I borked things up when I installed and then uninstalled Dusk_6.5_Lockscreen_v3.0.CAB in an attempt to get something closer to the look of the "Default".

Fix!
It appears that NRG uses a registry key to redirect the lockscreen to C:\Windows\Lockscreen as opposed to the default (or I think default) C:\Windows
Restore Lock Screen - HKLM\Security\Shell\Lock\CustomLockScreensPath set to \Windows
Restarted my device and I had the old lockscreen keypad back as opposed to the HTC Leo keypad.
OMG! Spent hours trying to get my lock screen back to normal and I was ready to do a hard reset. Followed all the above worked and love having the slider lock back.
I too tried using one of the Dusk themes and it messed up some of my settings (and never worked for me). Cannot get it all uninstalled either - irritating!
Many thanks!

For those of us NOT using Sense 2.x, the old style screen makes some sense, because it shows the home screen - which has plugins showing information even while locked.
Having said that, I am still using the newer "slider" unlock with my SPB Pocket Plus.
I've installed HTC_Manila2d.cab (v2.0 build 14xx Size 14 929kb) and it looks like this:
But I would like to see the weather on the main screen, below the clock and I cannot find out how to do it. On the main screen below the clock it says "Press here to update weather", I press it, something update and then nothing happens. It keeps always saying "Press here to update weather".
I want like this:
Just install a wm6.5 ROM...
Thanks, but I already have a WM6.5 ROM.
When I installed the Manilla v2.0 standalone cab shown above, the WM6.5 ROM didn't have it. That is why I installed v2.0. Anyway, installing it standalone seems to have more bugs and functions that don't work (and require more workarounds to fix it). That is probably why that function of updating the weather on main screen isn't working.
Now I'm using nAr & icke WM6.5 P3600 [21895.5.0.90][WWE] that includes manilla v1.2 but this one doesn't even has the possibility of showing weather forecast on the main screen below the clock like I want:
Is there any "good" WM6.5 ROM for P3600 with Manilla v2.0?
Is there any theme I can download to change the lock screen? I only have the ones included and is not too my liking.
you can use any pic on your phone as a lock screen wallpaper. other than that the only other thing I can guess you are talking about is the Sense lock screen style and if that is the case and you are rooted look to the "Themes and Apps" section for how to get rid of the Sense lock screen which will change it to the "Vanilla Android" lock screen like what the N1 and G2 have
Hello,
In COM3 builds (i.e. 29022 or 23153) if we use "HTC Lock Screen 1.0" we can customize the screen using the "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" file. But the "TotalCount" and Notification Count list (Missed Call, Unread SMS count or list with the icon - Similar to how we get in Lock Screen 2.0 or even the Default WinMO Lock Screen ) does not seems to appear.
Even if I use Lock Screen App Launcher v1.0.19221331.00 packages with stock CPR file that does not want to show above 2 .
Any clue?
