The small home screen weather, right beneath the clock, animates. When you open the home screen the weather animates for a short time.
I dont mean the animated background on the home screen which covers the whole screen. I really mean the tiny weather thingy.
I want that to stop. Anyone has any idea how to stop this? I've got the latest 2.5 23xxx Energy Cookie Rom

Well that small animation should only happen when you go back to the home tab or when the clock itself is reloading..... like after you flip the cookietab back down or something.
It doesnt slow down your phone at all and that animation takes a whole, what, 3 seconds? I would just use a rom that doesnt include that weather panel under the clock. The weather may look a bit funny just sort of popping back and forth between your my location weather forcasts as it changes.
I think that weather animation its pretty much standard even on 2.1 roms now.

Its annoying. The weather is fine, but the animation is bugging me ... but oke.
You can remove it but then you won't have any weather there at all. At least to my knowledge.

Hi all,
I really hope someone answers this, unless no one has noticed it. in the 2.5 Manila, the little weather icon under the clock that when the clock flips each minute every weather icon is stationary except for the rain, each minute it animates, but all the other weather icons dont. And personally I think this causes some trouble and slow downs. Anyone know how to make it stop?
I installed the flip clock 1 hour behind disabler, and it does it on that one too. Its on a Stock EU rom 6.5.207.401.
Anyone? No one?
Actually I stand corrected, its the rain animae and the cloud animae that it happens with each minute.
Hey Everyone.
I Have disabled my animation background with a reg edit, but I am trying to get rid of the animation on the clock, or remove it all together.
Why?
Well I am using Energy Rom (gtx) and I noticed that it's not the background animation that is lagging things, it's the clock animation.
If i click on another tab like messages, then use the slider its nice and smooth, if you tap home then use it, its laggy.
If you slide the clock out of your home view, then use the slider it will be smooth.
I have looked all over...only found wallpaper/weather animation
any direction is appreciated (if it's possible)
thanks
I don't know for the stock Sense home tab, but you can disable it in co0kie's home tab (I'm using version 1.8.0, don't know about the older versions), there are two registry keys under
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
called
Co0kie.Clock.DisableoubleFlip and Co0kie.Clock.DisableMinuteFlip. I set both value to 1, restart Sense, and no more annoying clock animation (I always hated it when it showed 23h58, then 23h59, then 00h59 and finally 00h00...)
ICS is driving me a little nuts... First the normal weather and news app cannot seem to find my location. It won't even find me if I manually put it in, city or zip code. Is this because I'm in the US or is this broken?
Second, is there any way I can fix the widget spacing? I put the news, a calendar widget and weather widget on my main page. No matter if they are HTC or Android, the spacing between the widgets is huge and looks terrible. Even adjusting the widget size leaves a huge amount of unusable space.
Appreciate any help!

I noticed the huge gap also in the widgets. I kept trying to move the Google Search widget under the clock and weather but wouldn't go close.
I am guessing this is how it is in ICS?
Anyone find a solution, or are we just the minor few that care?
Unfortunately, between this and the battery life I'm considering returning mine and sticking with my Note.
EDIT: The weather widget is still funky, but I went under settings and even though it wouldn't accept a manual location I used automatic then forced a refresh and it sometimes works.

Unfortunately, despite the large real estate the screen provides, the homescreens are still laid out in a 4x4 grid. So, no matter where you put it, it will still show a gap. Makes no sense, I know. They could've laid everything out in a 5x5 grid. Kinda wastin space. They coulda laid the Vivid out in. 5x4 grid, but they didn't. Sux to have wasted space like that.
You can use Nova or Apex launchers and go to as much as a 7 x 7 grid.
Hi Guys,
Just started using Sense 4.0. Stupid question... much like the previous versions of Sense, the weather animations (wipers when raining, clouds across the screen, and etc...) that used to show up on the screen when the phone was unlocked; has Sense 4 gotten rid of these animations?
I mean, I see the weather animations in the clock/weather app, the Weather lock screen, but not the animations that used to show up on the home screen, after the phone was unlocked... Is that gone in Sense 4? Can someone confirm? Thank you.
The full screen animations are selected when you add a weather widget, such as the default clock. Just remove the clock, and add it again, it'll give you the option
No it hasn't gone from sense 4.0, you just need to remove the clock widget and then add it to the home screen again and it will give you the option to enable full screen weather animations. Hope this helps.
Edit: looks like edge3uk just beat me to it.
Hi
Yes you can get weather animations, you have a couple of choices:
On the Lock Screen
Go to Settings - Personalise - Lock Screen and select Weather. Now whenever you turn your phone on you get a weather animation for your location.
As a wallpaper
Go to Settings - Personalise - Wallpaper - Live Wallpapers and select the Weather
Note that these options, especially the live Wallpaper will be using a little bit more battery power then viewing a static wallpaper image, of course that only impacts you if the phone spents a lot of time on with the wallpaper on show.
Another option, generally more accurate, in real 3D, is to look out of a window or go outside Yes I too have animated weather, it just looks cool lol.
Edit: and another way is to use the widget as already posted, so that makes 3 so far.
Regards
Phil
It is off by default. Just long press the clock&weather widget and push it to edit, click your current location, and tick show full screen animation.
Guys,
thank you for ALL your wonderful replies! Indeed, the animations work for me now, BUT, I cannot figure out what "triggers" them on the home screen... they just happened randomly, I can't deliberately kick em off...
For example in earlier Sense versions, the way to kick it off was, EVERY time you unlocked the phone, and the home screen had the Weather clock, the animations would go....
That doesn't happen in Sense 4, can someone confirm this or tell me what I am missing?
Thanks again!
well for me they only appear after unlock.

Hi !
Is it possible to animate flip clock in zooper widget ?
Just plain text no background.

No. Zooper works by rendering a bitmap then displaying the bitmap. It does not update fast enough for animation. It won't even do a second hand very well, let alone something that would take multiple frames per second to look right.
Honestly, no widget can do much animation beyond scrolling. I think at some point widgets will bifurcate into widgets like we have now--slow but efficient--and what are essentially windowed apps that can use the GPU and show video, etc. Multi-window already exists...it's really an extension of that.
