[CAB] Sense 2.5 - Less clouds (For people who live in a cloudy country)

HJ200 · May 18, 2010

Because I live in a cloudy country, I never have the Sense weather animation turned on. It just keeps on filling my screen with the white clouds, which doesn't make Sense looking quite good.

But the weather animations are pretty cool, so I made a CAB to disable a few clouds. Unfortunately the whole raincloud is gone too, but that doesn't seem to be a big problem to me.

Installation:

Copy and install the CAB from the attachment
Softreset / restart device

Uninstall:

Uninstall cab in "Remove programs" section. Default clouds will be back again.

[Update May 19]
I seem to have missed a cloud when creating the cab, which was still purple for testing purposes.

Cab is updated now, cloud is gone

[Update 2 May 19]
It seems another purple cloud slipped into the cab, updated to v3.

I find my phone home screen also too cloudy! So I recently started disabling the the weather animation, which I really do like.

Is it safe to uninstall this after installation. You know, just in case. Thanks.

Hehe, nice idea....

thanks for that!!!

Great idea!

Melbourne (Australia) has a cloudy winter and my home screen appears to be under a constant state of fog *lol*

Like others, I love the animation, I just find I have to try and see through the clouds every time I turn my phone on. This is a great app!

Brilliant job! Thanks!

Great job !!!!
Thanks a lot

how very clever, well done

otherworld · May 19, 2010

Brilliant! My gf and I were really hoping for something like this.

Even worse, my gf forgot to tick the 'update automatically' option on the HD2's weather, and it 'rained' for two weeks!! She was hating her phone until we realised. hehe.

But the rain animation is the coolest one

Thank you

I noticed that too. When i'm home I'll update the cab

joshzzz2001 · May 19, 2010

yup, the clouds are a bit purplish. Will wait for the updated cab. But great mod, I really don't like too many clouds showing up.

HJ200 · May 19, 2010

Is it just me, or does that cloud still look purple / violet after update v3?

Maybe it's not my mod at all

pinele · May 19, 2010

Note that the manila file from hdblog.it is a white/grey cloud, my cab removes the cloud.

spyrale · May 19, 2010

thank you, this will come in handy, i hated those clouds filling the screen

Very nice idea!
I always switched off the weather animation all the time because of the clouds everywhere...

But one thing:

The Rain Cloud - can you bring it back? Rain without a cloud looks very weird to me. That would be very cool!

USMC44 · May 20, 2010

Thank you!!! Clouds were overwhelming here in Fl. Great app.

No I can't. these clouds are the same as the overwhelming clouds on your homescreen. the cab doesnt change the animations, it removes the overwhelming clouds. Unfortunately these where also used in the raincloud
