Glad you got it going bud.
Also know that version 1.6 will correct the delay, as the appointments will load along with the home screen loading.

It was originally designed for the HD2, so of course it seems slow on our slower devices.
However, having said that, you will see great improvements in 1.6, regarding speed on all devices.
Especially with 4 different animation options and a weather switch to turn the weather animations on and off.

Anyway, there are great things coming in 1.6 and I feel it has made it much more usable and configurable, on all devices.
I think that many others will agree. Estimated to release, within a day or two now.

Great news on 1.6. I tried to follow the regedit instructions in the 4th post to turn off my animated wallpaper and couldn't find the key on my device. Anyone know to shut down the overbearing and system slowing animated weather wallpaper on an Imagio?

One easy way is to select animated wallpaper, but just choose a static image instead.(regular wallpaper). If that doesn't work, there are a couple of other methods that can be used as well.

The way the forum parses the registry entry can be confusing. You are looking for the "Home.WallpaperMode" entry. I confused me too, I thought there was a "home" folder in the string.

Disable Animated/Weather wallpapers: go to registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\
Home.WallpaperMode
and set it to 2

FWIW

if the first suggestion didn't work for him. Thanks.

The quoted msg indicates that 1.6 is available.

Is version 1.6 shipping? If so, where can I get it.

TIA

No, 1.6 is not yet available.
He was simply commenting on the features I stated would be in it.
It should be out in a day or two.
I assure you, when it's released, you will easily find it here.

Couple more Bits regarding the upcoming 1.6 Release
I hope this helps answer a few of the questions that I have also been PM'd about.

1. It's pretty much finalized, just some final bugs to take care of. Should be up in a day or two.


2. You'll get some nice options in v1.6 to improve performance on non-HD2 devices. Including 4 levels on home screen animation. (referring to how the links and clock scroll or fade up) 1, 2, or 3 pages of links in any configuration.


3. Different clocks are planned, but I don't think they will be implemented until v1.8.

4. There will be a Weather Switch to turn on and off weather animations.
This will have an icon you can add to a quick link.

I hope this helps answer a few more questions for now. Thanks.
