Weather effect on home screen

I just installed new official 6.5 rom so I will see how it goes on my TD2.
My question is: how do you activate that weather effect on whole screen, rain drops, clouds etc.?
It show 2-3 times at my home screen, don't know what I pressed, but is there any way to get that effect when I like? (so I can make fun with my iPhone friends ). Seriously, is there how to activate it?

It go automatic after weather update tab for home city...

No, it still doesn't work for me.
It showed 2-3 times when I installed new ROM, but since then I cannot see that effect, no matter if I update weather forecast.

tap on the programmlist on the taskbar and close it

If you hit the windows button, and afterwards the back button you'll get the animation for the current weather condition.
cheers

It also runs the animation if you hold the "Home" button when on the Home Tab to lock the screen and then unlock.
For some reason it only works with the default wallpaper though.

I was going nuts when trying to get the damned effects _off_ and custom wallpaper did the trick!

Yes, I tried everything, close it, windows/back, it didn't work.
I works ONLY with default wall paper!!
Damn, I just installed wallpaper changer

Guess that this is bug then or not

If you take the phone outside, you always get the correct weather on the screen

yes it only works with default wallpaper only. Does anybody know if with manila 2.5 also works with default wallpaper only?

Weird glitch with Touch X Task Manager

Hi,
I installed Touch X Task Manager which seems to work like a charm but on the "Home" tab I get a weird glitch.
When I push the upper right corner to get the tasks list to appear and then close it again the clock does it's "flip" animation, as it would if you were for example unlocking the phone and the weather animation starts.
Is this normal and is there anyway to disable it when using the task manager?
TIA.

That is normal.
For whatever reason, closing the task manager refreshes the home tab, therefore causing it to do the "show off our clock" rubbish that HTC thought was a good idea.
There's a cab in this thread called "Touch_X_Homescreen_Flip_clock_OFF".
It stops the clock flip, but not the weather animation. Also, the weather animation plays every time the clock flips. This also bugs me, but not as much as that -1 hour and 2 minutes rubbish did.
Hope that helps

Cheers mate.
I saw this before bu I'm assuming that cab disabled the "refresh flip" entirely, I don't mind it in general but it was a little annoying when it happens everytime you open/close the task manager!!
Hrm, I might live with it for now, if it bugs me to the point of distraction then I will install the cab!

Am I the only one not annoyed by the clock flip? It just doesn't get to me...

You can also get rid of the weather animation if you chose the animated wallpaper setting in the manila settings tab, ( you can still chose a non animated wallpaper) or your current wallpaper and this will get rid of the weather animations, but keep the weather pics, from home (not weather) screen. It may sound a bit confusing but I managed to get rid of both annoyances.

We're talking about the weather animation on the clock, not the whole page

AOSP Animations

For anybody using the new semi stock ROM or a launcher replacement, is anybody else seeing some apps not fade out in the transition animation upon pressing home? Like Weather, Gallery, Wordfeud, etc.
The app window shrinks but doesn't fade out. Just abruptly disappears.
This happened with my Hero too with the AOSP animations. Bothers the hell out of me. Any fix for that?

Widgets shrink in size on Home Screen!!!

Hi guys
Anyone else noticed this on their S2...?
When i set the digital clock with the date as a main widget on home screen, sometimes, if i reboot or load a video, play it and come back to the home screen, the widget shrinks in size slighty and removes the date.
This is the same when i use a beautiful widget clock/weather widget as well...
Not sure what i am doing wrong...
Any help guys?
Cheers
Merb

Yeah i have noticed this too. Don't know what causes this. What firmware are you on?

Does it happen with the stock time widget as well?
I have the Go Launcher Weather widget and it does this shrinking job sometimes after I exit apps. I thought it was a problem with the widget!
I'm on stock O2 ROM version: KE2

Go Launcher Flip Annoyance???!!!

Ok my favorite launcher is go launcher just because of how customizable it is! I find myself using the regular launcher and Zeam alot because they are quick, they would be perfect if you could hide apps in the app drawer. As far as just having something minimal.
I like Go Launcher becuase it has alot of free themes and you can mix and match all there icons and what not. What annoys me is on the Homescreen when you flip the phone the icons wont show back up half the time until you tap the screen. I mean ive tried every video tweak compiled optimized kernels and the only thing that has fixed this problem is the ICS flip animation in bobzhome's new rom. Im thinking becuase the animation refreshes the screen after the flip, but as soon as i turn animations off in display the icons disapear as soon as i flip the screen. I mean im running at 840mhz with 350mb ram free and this happens!!! Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix?

Edit: nvm
