its the same as your main one - not seperate
Yeah I was quite disappointed with that, I liked having the 2 different ones on my Hero, especially as the type of image you would use for the 2 types would be quite different. On my lock screen I had a nice detailed portrait picture which fitted perfectly to the area that would be displayed on the lock screen and then for the main wallpaper had quite a plain one that looked good when spread over the home screens and didn't interfere with the visibility of the icons.
Now it means I either have to choose to have a wallpaper which has quite a "busy" center meaning it will interfere with icon visibility or I have a plain one which looks boring on the lock screen.
HMPH!
hmmm, that's a shame...
even hero supports to set wallpapers separately

I am also very disappointed that it is not possible to set a different wallpaper for the lock screen. On the Legend it is possible. I like to have a family picture as lock screen background but that is too loaded as wallpaper for the home screen with all the widgets on top of it. In the FAQ for scenes on the HTC support page it is written that it is possible to change the lock screen wallpaper. I have already dropped a ticket at HTC customer service. Even if they don't fix it I still hope that there will be an app soon to make it possible. I already tried Lockbot pro which looks nice but then there are only buttons to take a cal - no sliding. Very sad.

I've searched around but not been able to find anything relating to what i'm looking for. Basically I was wondering if it is possible to get custom wallpaper weather animations on sense 2.1 without changing the wallpaper for the rest of the manila tabs?
I've been using the BG4All cab which works well, but due to the hd wallpaper im using, it creates alot of lag in tabs such as the photo and contact tabs. So therefore it would be nice to be able to use the hd wallpaper with weather animations for the home screen, but to keep the plain black background for all the other tabs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Just to point out, ive tried one cab (the kimi-sae-ireba-sense2.1weatherwallpaper) and even though this allowed custom wallpaper weather animation on just the home tab, there were a few issues.
The time overlapped the text when sliding down on the home tab
Landscape did not work properly
The wallpaper was compressed and much more blurry
So basically just looking for a cab that allows high quality wallpaper on just the home tab while maintaining weather animations
Look what I found using search

Thanks for your reply.. even tho it was probably intended as an insult
I used the search function and found that too.. but it doesn't do what I asked for.
Id like to be able to use the high quality wallpaper of choice on just the home page with weather animation. But they only offer custom ready made wallpapers and weathermod also included in that post doesnt do what I asked either.
we have a perfect phone with amazing screen. but... .
its well knowed to any android owener that allways the wall-paper maximum traction on the screen is leaving a few percent down to dock and his apps\symbols and a few percent up to the bar and his apps\symbols, while the background of the bar\docks stays black\glass.
back in my merry days with the WM6.5 I recall there was software that really stretched the entire wallpaper including the bar and dock, and clearly saw the apps\symbols on the dock\bar but the background of them was the Wall-paper i cosed.
it was very Beautiful and really Reflected and showed the ALL SCREEN.
needless 2 say that worked on\with any luncher !
Utilization of the screen background picture - really makes an amazing phone.
does Anyone know such a method\app that doing the same in Android and works with our phone ?
tnx
If you use a launcher like launcherpro and you download on app like Flikie Wallpapers you can stretch your wallpaper and see it through all of your screens and dock. If you select a picture do it with Flikie to get it on all the screens.

whatevers in your dockbar on your sense home screen is what appears on your lock screen.
Alternatively you could use WidgetLocker which is a really good paid app, and well worth the money for the range of customisations it offers.

thank you I just noticed that. sense 3.0 allowed you to customize those icons...
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.

I was hoping someone could help me sizing widgets for the nexus screen.
I wanted to make a grid that fit together with no spaces in between like on that market screenshot for the app.
My plan uses 4x1 and 2x1 widgets so I wont need the other sizes.
I had it set up pretty good on my lg but with the different screen sizes it doesnt match on the nexus.
I have my screen set to 5 rows and 4 columns so I was looking to do a 4x1 at the top then 6 2x1s and then a 4x1 at the bottom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are those tiles or just hotspots? if the lines aren't visible you can just set it as your wallpaper and use DVR to create invisible icons using a "blank picture".
if not, find out what your phone resolution is and your gonna have to edit the picture to find the proper alignment to match the widget sizes...i have made a bunch of custom homescreens (its a pain to get the alignment right sometimes)..but if it looks good in the end, its worth it
it shouldnt be too difficult though, that set up isn't complicated

Thats a good idea, so your saying create it all as one picture and then set it to wallpaper then use invisible icons for widgets right?
The only problem I can see for that is what about the wallpaper for the rest of my screens?

1. yes
2. are you using scrolling wallpaper or is it static?
either way the concept will still work...just that scrolling wallpaper may take you longer to figure out the alignment
if you can post the picture you are going to use and an idea of what you want i can help you with more specific questions

I did something like that when I was using multiple wallpaper but I much prefer the scrolling wallpaper so I stopped using it.
How would this work with a scrollable wallpaper when you see the same part of the wallpaper on 2 separate screens?
This was the screen I had with multiple wallpaper.
The thats the wallpaper Im currently using.

ive actually never seen someone use a "tile" setup with scrolling wallpaper...it can be done but obviously there will be overlapping points..the icons would be on separate screens and with blank images so it would just be the wallpaper shifting not the icons (since they arent visible)
in my opinion, if you are going to use a tile set up it would be best to use static wallpaper...i know you posted a picture of the wallpaper but it doesnt really give me a clear idea as to what you are doing

What Im doing or trying to do is just what that screen shot is. Have a check list type screen to launch apps from.
I found a desktop visualizer addon called dvrimageslicer that I thought was the answer I was looking for but for some reason it only crops images with no gaps on the top and bottom. So it looks exactly how I want it to when I only use 4x1 widgets but when I use more than one widget on the same row it leaves a gap on the left and right sides of each widget.

sorry for the late response...by gap do you mean visual gap or space that you cant click? (like a blank unused icon space)
that setup is very simple
use an app like photoshop to design the layout as a background...then use blank icons as mentioned previously
the most difficult part of the entire thing is going to be getting the spacing right...but that you can done in a matter of minutes
