Weather on VZ TP2 TF3D Today screen?

WBFAir · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2009, 09:56 AM

Hello all

Sorry if that has been discussed but I couldn't seem to find a simple answer.

I have seen several pics that seem to show a weather display on a TF3D's today screen.

Typically it is just under the clock digits, and is usually of some type of icon or picture display type.

So far in all my searching of the device I cannot find anyway to get this to show but I get the feeling it is not native like that.

So can anyone tell me how this is done?

Thanks.

You need to flash to a custom ROM with WM 6.5 & the newer versions of sense.

Thanks for the quick reply John, now that you mention it I think I vaguely remember something that this is a 6.5 feature?

So as well it needs a higher level of Sense too?

So if this is true and Verizon ever comes out with the 6.5 update I should have it then correct?

Wow thats nice, yeah for me though this is my first device such as this.

All I had before this was a V60s.

I pretty savvy and comfortable with PC's though and so since it is pretty close, I have been playing around with the registry a bit and getting it working as I need it and I'm learning quickly, but jumping up to unlocking it and replacing the ROM just for that is kind of a big jump and for now, especially after all the reg tweaking I've been doing, I would be happy to just start using it and wait till VZ has the update if that is how I will be assured I will get this.

I know I will probably have to play around with the reg a bit again but at least I know the whole upgrade will be pretty stupid proof.

Thanks for the help though John.

Nice taskbar. I've seen what feels like a million of them on this forum and I think that's the first one I like.

Which taskbar is that?

That is the Bilbobrian taskbar, I believe.

I like the screenshot. Looks cool with the freezing screen over the fire, too bad that won't show up when the temps change.
