Does anyone know how to turn off the animations for SkyRaider 3.5?
Every time I unlock my phone, the clouds come swooping by etc. etc.. And then the clock does a little weird animation too that's kind of annoying.
I went to Menu>Settings>Display and I turned off all Animation. Still no luck.
Any ideas? - I've searched the forums and all these threads have just died, is it true no one knows how to fix this?
Remove and add the clock widget. When you add it, there should be an option for weather animations. Uncheck that box and you're good to go. The clock, however, has the flip animation built-in so that one won't turn off

Hmm.. I think that fixed it, when I added the fancy widget it was a different layout then what I had there before.. so I think this skin doesn't have any animations.
Do you know how to download a bunch of fancy widget skins? I've searched but havent really come across any easy methods.

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...)
Was running DC3.5. Flashed CM6.0 and still having the same behavior...
When unlocking the screen, i see a slight trace of an animated/live weather. Sort of like a sun/cloud. I can only see it vaguely though and I cant figure out what app its coming from.
Any ideas?
I'm running Beautiful Widget but the image I am seeing is like a live weather image of the sun and cloud parting ways.
Im stumped
I'm personally not using that widget but the widget I am using (Weather & Clock) has an addon with settings that animate upon unlock.
See attachment.
If you can't find it in running apps or something perhaps a complete wipe and reflash?

I owe you a beer!
I also have that widget but dont really use it as I prefer Beautiful Widgets but for some reason, not being enabled (the widget) those settings were still active. Unchecked that setting and all is well!
Thanks again!
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.

Im looking for a few features on my lockscreen that dont appear to be possible with stock att galaxy.
I would like to get more than 4 shortcut apps on the lockscreen.
I would also like an email widget and calendar widget, maybe something similar to the news widget for the jb lockscreen.
Possible?

Not without your own personal modding, or flashing something else that has it...
Widget Locker will let you place sliders, widgets, and shortcuts on your lockscreen. I've never tried it with a stock ROM, but see no reason it shouldn't work.
You can find it in the Play store.

Excellent 1st post... You get a thanks...
Yep, Widget Locker will do a lot of what you're looking for. One tip, go into your lock screen settings (in your phone settings, not in WL settings) and set it to none once you've activated WL. This will keep the odd times when your stock lock screen might appear after unlocking via WL.
Hi,
I've looked everywhere for this, and can't seem to find it.
I'm looking for a very similar thing to cLock (formerly Chronus) from CM roms.
It allows not only time but weather to be shown on the lockscreen and still allow you to have security with pin or pattern locking.
I also searched through all apps/themes sections, and couldn't find this. I can't be the only one wanting password protection on a good looking lockscreen?! haha
I don't want to switch to CM rooms just for this, as I don't find them stable enough yet.
I've tried Go locker and still not getting what I's like.
I haven't tried Widget lockscreen as its not free, and I don't want to buy it and find out it doesn't have what I'd like.
Thanks for any sugestion/help..
Settled on Widgetlocker lockscreen with HD Widgets. Its beautiful, but no security. So I kept the stock lockscreen with patern. One annoyance is now I have to go through 2 screen to get to homescreen. Oh well, I can live with it.
