I'm using Weather and Toggle Widget and can't seem to get the animation to work properly for the current weather. Can anyone help me out with this? I have the weather widget extra add on there already as well and can only seem to get some animation when unlocking the screen....
It is sunny where I am right now and no animation comes across...This is my first time using this widget, but was assuming it would be similar to the HTC Desktop Clock where there is animation for any displayed weather (clouds, rays of sunshine, rain, fog, etc.). Any help is appreciated, thanks!
-J
there is an animation for the sun and the moon but they're both combined. The sun doesn't do the lens flare effect like it does on htc sense phones. All you see is a quick little sparkle in the upper right corner of the clock and you'll see some fog appear for towards the bottom of the clock. Remember these are just imitation weather animations...they're not identical to htc sense.
put the clock and weather widget on a home screen tap the weather portion and in the bottom left corner tap the settings button select addon settings and check the box for unlock animation.
kcbboy: yeah those were the animations i was able to get working. weird though, no matter what screen i unlock from those animations will play, haha. for example i can lock the screen in the contacts menu, unlock it and those animations will play in the contacts menu lol...but yeah, thanks for the help anyway. not a deal breaker, but the htc sense animations would be sweet...
schnem: yeah i got that far with the unlock animations...guess the answer to my question lies in the difference between TW and Sense. thanks for the help!

Hello,
I've just installed VBNROM to my tmous hd2.
Everything works fine but there is no weather animation in home screen.
It shows the weather near the clock, partly sunny right now, but here is no clouds flying over the screen and no sun rays. (sun rays are enabled in chteditor)
I think weather animation is disabled by default of VBNROM.
How can I enable it again? Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Problem solved ^^
I have installed Starebase 64 lockscreen with bottom slide.
I love it.
BUT depending on what pic I have as my lockscreen wallpaper, sometimes I need to change the slider the middle.
I like the calendar icon used in the starbase lockscreen.
Where can I find it?
When I edit LS_LockScene_480x800 where in here does it point to the icon used for the calendar when you have reminders?
I hate the red windows one. THe starbase icon is awesome and I want to use it for other lockscreens.
Thanks to anyone with info.
When I use to unlock the phone, it would show me a animation of the current weather, just wondering what happen to that feature in ICS? It's not a critical thing but I always thought the weather animation was cool.

you mean the live wallpaper in the background?
It's a Rosie animaton. You need one of the Rosie clocks. Drag it to the top left corner to 'edit' it select your location then it will ask if you want full screen animation. Turn it on or off from there. If you want sound open the weather app in your drawer then select menu and you can find it in one of those options.
This will not work if you're using a de-sensed Rom.
Don't quote me on this...

YAY lol I know its a simple thing but man it looks cool ;p Wish it had more animations though.
There's different animations but it depends on the weather. I like the rainy day animation with the windshield wipers..

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi I'm running the Hyperdrive rom and would like to get this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock ) lockscreen widget to start open on my phone. Right now it only displays the clock part and I have to pull the little transparent box down to view the notifications. I would rather have the widget be displayed like this
https://lh3.ggpht.com/2AQ5bvTEHRYpZq-p9RLW8J4aXOsNuhlESnChpmENIwWA847mXu44U-nU5i7XVVAQBl8=h900-rw
than like this minimized version when i first unlock the phone

Are there any mods or tweaks to accomplish this? thanks

Those last two links don't work. Have you tried WidgetLocker and one of the many UCCW widgets? When I used to use a lock screen that was my set up. WidgetLocker also has a hide notification bar option so it's truly full screen.
Here are some options I found with a clock and dynamic unread message notification:
• Quick Settings
• UCCW Stripes
• Cabona UI
There's tons more.

Thanks for responding, but i'm looking to get this dashclock widget working. I uploaded the screenshots as attatchments so maybe you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. Right now the widget starts minimized and I have to swype down to open it which defeats the purpose of the widget. I think this is a feature of touchwiz, not sure though. I would like to start the widget in a maximized state so I can easily view all of the info it provides. I don't see how I can accomplish this with widgetlocker. Thank you for helping out though.
