animated weather question??
 
running MighyMike's awesome ROM:

Is there any way to get the weather to update the temperature manually without leaving the home screen??

I know you can make the animations run, but that does not actually update the weather temp.

When I'm at work, I sometimes realy want to check the current temp & what it's showing on the home screen is outdated. I don't really want to have to go to the weather tab & say "update now" each time (I could do that BEFORE I had the home screen weather)

I have them turned on, but it doesn't seem to do it aften enough & I can't find any way to tell it to update at faster intervals.

I've noticed that strangely, I have to hit the Start menu button and then exit the start menu to get the weather animation working.

^^That's normal Kilgore. And to crazybliss, my bet is he used HDWalls to create a cab for the wallpaper, I heard this works in another thread, have yet to try it, ymmv.

thats how its supposed to be, I think if it animated nonstop it would cause a little battery drainage. Just like the clock flipping back a hour and 2 min. Its all for show. Instead of having to wait a minuete to show of your flip clock just push taskmanager and minimize it.....

I am wondering the same thing. How do you have animated weather on Mighty's ROM? Is there something I have not enabled or something I need to install to get this to work?

Animated weather will work fine with the MM ROM, but only if you use the default wallpaper (from the TF settings tab)

I changed my default WP by installing a WP cab made with HDwalls.

My only problem is, the weather updates so infrequently it's kinda useless IMHO.

By the way, if you want that colored WP install this cab & reset. Then pick the default WP & you're good to go.

I went to settings in TF...clicked on wallpaper...it then asks if I would like to use the default and I clicked yes. The animated weather still didnt work, so I completed a soft reset and it still doesnt work. What in the world am I doing wrong. Do I not have an option enabled or something?

Thanks!

EDIT: Out of nowhere it just started working. Thanks a lot for your help and the .cabs! Seems to only work when you click on start and then close out to the home screen. If you scroll on TF and then scroll back to the homescreen it will not work then.

the easiest way to run the animation is to click the little task manager arrow once & then immediately click it again, that will run the animation any time you want.

locking & unlocking the phone will run it also.
