[CAB] HTC Hero/Leo Manila Background for TP2 - Fully working weather animations

After some playing around with Photoshop I was able create a custom DEFAULT manila background using the wallpaper above. This is not a custom wallpaper (like chosen from wallpaper settings in TF3D) but a replacement of the OEM manila background files on your phone. This cab is fully uninstallable if you ever want to change back! Includes portrait and landscape background files. Tested on WM 6.5 Sense 2.1 Manila and should be fully compatible with stock Manila 2.1 on WM 6.1 as well.

I created this to fix the slow responsiveness of the home screen weather animations. [Weather animations, especially rain will have notable lag (windshield wiper movement/clearing the dirty water image) when using wallpapers other than the default]

If you like my work please say thanks!

Enjoy!

i'm not sure i understand what this does?

I had that WP working a long time ago with HDwalls & all the animations worked.

With HDwalls you can use any WP you want & it won't affect the weather animations.

It's not that the animations will not work...But they will be slow and laggy. When using a custom wallpaper and viewing a home screen weather animation such as rain, the clock has a noted delay in flipping as well as clearing the "dirty water" background and also a HUGE delay in the windshield wiper. Since this was not the case when using the default wallpaper, I created a new default so things would be snappy.

I still don't see anything, guess it is blocked.

I never understood HDWalls, I tried, just couldn't get it. I just use APs cab. I can use any BG and still get full animations. That + TF3D WP changer = awesomeness

On your stock rom or custom rom, go to your settings page...and select Wallpaper. If you have a custom wallpaper selected, it will prompt you and ask if you want to use the default wallpaper for the phone. [This is the wallpaper written into the manila files in the Windows directory] This cab will overwrite those files with this new background making this your new default background.
