[REQ] Hot to disable weather animation (WM6.5 HTC SENSE 2.5)

Hi.
I'm using WM6.5 with HTC SENCE 2.5
I'm looking for a tweak, programs, whatever to disable the weather animation at home tab, but remaining weather icon info.
Any help?
Thanks

I think what you do is set the background picture to something different than 'Weather background' (I'm on a Dutch version, so I'm unsure of the actual English button label)
But don't shoot me if I'm wrong

Ghanz is right:
On the home page in Manila, tap menu/home wallpaper/animated wallpaper but then tap Albums and browse to the non-animated image you want to use and select.
Done

HI all
What i want is to STOP the weather animation, not the background animation.
I usually use a photo as background wallpaper (a standart JPG with 800*480), but the animations are still active (sun shining, raining, etc).
How to stop that???

Hi,
i used this from another thread :
Re: Disable Weather Animations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002

It worked

Hey kam',
well, mine was set to 0 or 1, and i changed it to 2 which disabled the weather-animation for me.
If yours is set to 2 already,maybe try to change it to 0 or 1, then softreset and change it back to 2 and softreset.
If that doesn't work, then i have no idea, sorry.
Hope it helps, greetings

I did this yesterday, but it didn't work ...

Weather animation
I know its been a while since this thread was active but i came here looking for a answer and went away to come back with the easy solution. install the wonderfull max manilla layout which amongst other things lets you turn off the weather animation. Hope this saves others some time looking for the easy route.

I think it is easier to do a single change in the registry, than installing maxmanilla, then softreseting... why do all this if you just want to disable weather aanimation???

Fair point but a lot of people have never played around with the registry and dont feel comfortable with the idea

Think would be great, my device goes crazy when the weather is sunny...

Exactly ... the problem is sunny weather and clear night sky's! It would be really nice if someone would suggest something.

And by the way ..... if it is possible, then not with a .cab file please. I want to know what causes the animation.

How do you change the Lockscreen Wallpaper?

Although it says in Settings > Personalize "Choose... lock screen wallpaper", there is no way to actually change the image. On earlier versions of HTC Sense for Android you could have a different picture on the lock screen and as a wallpaper, but not now. Another backward step or am I missing something?

I saw it also, the information is still in the user manual by the way, but not possible.
Is there a way to have the weather widget on lockscreen?
Thanks for your help

Nothing on my menus for lock screen...would be nice but tbh I'm not that fussed

I want to be able to change it too. I rather liked that feature on my Hero

I downloaded LockBotPro... its a good app an there's a decent amount of customization you can do to the lock screen... add your own wallpaper, lock slider & sound effect but shame its not compatibile with the AndWobble app, that would of made it a thousand times better
Is it possible to have live/animated lock screen themes with LockBotPro?

great app, but how can I upgrade to pro, when the market is not opened for paid apps?
EDIT: Sorry, I see now I can't...until it's rooted at least...

Not sure, but i would hardly imagine anyone having a go at it, people are trying to run away from live wallpapers to save up some battery life

This feature worked for me, and was present in the settings menu. ALthough I noticed at some point that my lockscreen image was not what I set it to, and the menu option was not there anymore......
I went back expecting the menu option to be there but it wasn't. Wonder whats going on. The feature was there and it worked for me...

How to fit wallpaper as static without stretched

I am trying to get some wallpapers to fit, when i view them they look good for the screen, but when i set them as wallpapers they get realy messed up.
I tryed alot now including apps that should resize them to fit etc.
the wallpapers i try to use is from here:
http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww2/aandrew1967/walls/#!cpZZ10QQtppZZ36
Only ones i get to work are the wide ones that are very rare.
Is there a way to fit the other wallpapers you see there, the tall normal ones ?
Hope someone can help!

I think I know what you're talking about. It's a problem with the way ICS and JB handle wallpapers.
I found that using wallpaper wizardrii or multipicture live wallpaper will do the trick.

I tested crop wallpaper from play store, and selected the part i wanted to use as wallpaper, clicked set wallpaper and the picture is still stretched out and don`t look like how i selected to crop it.
Something is messing up the pics by stretching them.
Also tested the first mentioned app and that one dosen`t work eighter.
Any more ideas i can try ?

Wallpaper Wizardrii is what you need. Press 'Set' and choose 'Crop Portrait'.

if all your looking to do is set a static wallpaper and not have it scroll with screen swipe then you can only enable this on a third party launcher. Sense has a permanent wallpaper scroll and thats why it stretches those pics for you. I recommend apex where you can set static non scroll option.
Alternatively, as mentioned by first reply here, multi picture live wallpaper will also do the trick so long as you set the source folder to contain the ONE wallpaper of choice because sense forces the wallpaper to change automatically to another on screen swipe. If you only have one in the selected source folder, it should just swipe to the same paper of your choice. I may be wrong.

Sorry that was also a no go..
Must be something that stopping me to crop the pictures, could be some function in my ROM or ST(suite Tools)
Not sure how i should solve this, maby reflash without Suite tools.

I also use apex launcher with wallpaper option set to fixed when I want my wallpaper not to scroll

[Q] Can't change lock screen wallpaper

I think I played too much with apps that changed lock screen photo cause now Im stuck with one and cant change it. I purged the gallery data which effected in changing the wallpaper onto default one (the kid with the balloons on the meadow) but still not much I can do. My phone is rooted. I didnt use QuickPic or any other apps to view my pics, only the Stock one. Any ideas?

There is a bug on 4.2.2 that you cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper if you have the Ripple effect. Other than that I have no clue, maybe a senior person can guide you!

Im on 4.4.2

Go to gallery and choose any pic of choice and set it as home+lock wallpaper.
It will change the lock wallpaper too.

Good to know that You dont take people as idiots. No I didnt try that. c'mon :/
Ive got rooted phone. Just made hard reset, cleaned cache as well... problem still exists :/

I am able to change the wallpaper for animated one (as long as I pick home and lock screens together), but then when I change it to normal one it goes straight to the default.
Can anyone tell me where is the default one kept? Im gonna delete it (or move it) and see what happens.

Im on rooted stocked system android 4.4.2 and I have the same bug with being unable to change the lock screen while on unlocking the screen with ripple effect :/ bummer

Change Lockscreen wallpaper on Stock OOS with a different launcher

Hey all,
I have searched for this to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper without using the stock OOS launcher? I have tried it while rooted in different ways and it doesn't seem to work. I know I can install a custom ROM and be on my way but I wanted to know about stock. Thanks!

Open picture in Gallery app, three dots in top right corner, set...

I just freeze the app and unfreeze it when i am done

I used an app I usually use to crop photos precisely when setting wallpapers, it turns out to be able to set lockscreen wallpaper as well. When you hit apply it asks lockscreen or home screen pretty simple.
