If you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it will place what ever you pick behind.

Same here. Without the "albums" being accessible I don't think we can change the lockscreen wallpaper.
VoX is yours clear as well?
I forget where it is at, but there is a googlebits.zip or something like that floating around, with an albums in it, that works. On my 2.1 I can adjust wallapapers/locksceen. On an interesting note...I guess with the "rotate" lockscreen..it stays clear..I just found that out..whoops. I guess when I am done with the other 2.1 projects I am working on, I will take a look at porting the "rotate" part from ASOP. Then again, maybe someone with a bit more code experience will know how to unclear the background.
yea if we can unclear the background that would work because the lockscreen is functional, so i guess no reason to port.
Has anyone been able to add a back ground to the clear 2.1 lockscreen?
So will this be available for our HTC Hero..?...I really liked the lockscreen and always wanted it...Atleast till we get a fully functional 2.x ROM..
when you try to select a lockscreen wallpaper by clicking Albums, do you get a com.htc.launcher FC?
thats what I got after messing around with it a little. anyone have googlebits with working albums?

I'm in the same boat as you are, it I get a fc when I press Albums, but it still doesn't change when if you hit the Wallpaper gallery button, so idk if it the albums thing would work.
Unlike you I kinda like the clear wallpaper, I just don't like the clock on the lockscreen, it covers my HTC clock

Same boat here. Maybe we can remove the info on the lockscreen?
any progress here for anyone else...? I've been trying a lot, but nothing seems to work so far.
Has anyone been able to remove the htc bar for incoming calls also?
clear background
I get a clear background as well.

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

Hello,
I have seen a great deal of posts on the improvement of the Weather display / animation. Even some complaining about or applauding its functionality. Oddly though I have not seen any that ask if it can be removed entirely.
I know this is personal choice but for me I don't want any weather to be displayed at all. Can this be achieved?
Cheers.

Do you mean the wallpaper animation, or the animation on the clock?
On the clock.I would really prefer no weather at all on my home screen.

Fair enough. I know how to remove the animated wallpaper, but not the bit on the clock.
I'm sure someone on here must be able to help you though.
To disable weather animation.
1 - go to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
and change "HomeWallpaperMode" from "0" to "2" you will end up having your static wallpaper but without weather animation.
or
2 - just select animation wallpaper and choose one of your static ones.and that is it!
Credits go to Polystirenman. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600528
Neither work. The registry change you mentioned is already set to 2. Actually I did that earlier whilst trying to find a solution. Whatever wallpaper I choose I still see the weather.
Not sure you understood my question completely though. I want to get rid of the weather entirely not just the animation.
Plus one on this .. all this weather mania is beyond me ..
no weather on home 4 me too
me too
i would like to get rid of that too, aleady seen in leo themes section under transparent clock and slider but got no response in how to do that
anybody please?

Tried that thanks. All that did was change my wallpaper. Tried changing it to 2 also. Can't remember what the default was anymore though.
Ok people .. once again .. this thread is about disabling ANY WEATHER INFORMATION on home screen. Not just the wallpaper.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCServices\WeatherService\WeatherService.dll
Rename to WeatherService.dll.back then soft reset. Rename back to restore.
I have created a cab file for it for those who are interested.
Oh yes indeed. Many thanks that is just right!
It works .. just don't try 'weather settings' from the menu !

Definetely good trick.. Thanks
But i'm noticed "world clock" feature also disabled with this setting..
I noticed that too. I suspect they're connected and it's unavoidable.
I do it in a different way. I dont like the bugie effect of disabling the weather DLL.
You can disable "my location" and choose my location as your default clock.
When you update the weather, it will not be updated for "my location" and in this way you get a cleaner home screen.
Whenever you want, you can choose your favorite location and get the weather info for it.
Hi there,
Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?
I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.
Cheers.
I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?

At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.
search the market for WidgetLocker.
Sent from my HTC Desire
lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable
Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.
Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?
EDIT
OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.
just noticed the wildfire has the option to change lockscreen
Has anyone come across a method of removing the clock on the CM7 RC2 Lockscreen? I have wp clock installed and would like to use that, I came across a fix which only removed "half" of the clock. The method involved changing the clock font file, numbers in the clock was made transparent, but everything else is still there! I've provided a screenshot as a visual aid. Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me in the right direction of removing the rest of the clock.

Widget Locker will give you an option to remove the notification bar. That is what i use.

I'm sorry, I was unclear. I mean in the like top half of the screen, do you see the white "AM" and "Tuesday, March 22." Not the clock in the notification area. The reason why I want to keep the stock CM7 lockscreen is because of the gestures if you're wondering.
With the "fix" I was able to remove the time itself, but just the numbers, not the remaining text.
I thought CM mod 's lock was completely customizable under CM settings
[via XDA app]

Not that I can see, it's only stuff like music control and gestures.
Finally! someone created and lockscreen replacement that mimics sense 3.0 !
You don't get the nice animated wallpaper but the ring and icons are there.
I downloaded the free version.
In the free version you can download some other apps to gain points. Install those apps, get 300 points to unlock the paid version. Then just uninstall the extra apps.
I'm using it on CM7 and no problems so far.

Works great on oxygen.
Thanks
Cool, thanks
Nice lockscreen - better than the stock android IMO.
80 cents worth it.

my default font is helvetica, that's the reason...
but there is a option for changing the font, you have to download some apps to collect 300 points and than you get the full version.
here is another one, just take the original background from the htc sense 3.0 lockscreen...
edit: to change the files in the .apk you have to change "properties" and set "open with" default to winrar.
I'm loveing this lockscreen, works very well but i find it anoying that it rotates... is there anyway from it doing so (without locking orientation on all the other apps obviously!!!)
Thanks a lot and great app!!!!
i think in the .xmls files but i can't handle that...
when i try to use the green messaging symbol i get an fc =(

Can you get access to change the lockring itself? I am thinking of making a mario theme for my phone, and I found a lockring which uses the one up mushroom and I love it. Would love to be able to use it, with this app on an aosp rom.
give me the pics and i see what i can do
