How do you easily rearrange (already created) screens (left and right of home screen) without having to remove and recreate again. Thanks

Wildfire Weather Data

Where does HTC gets the weather data from. Is it from Accuweather ? How do you include cities not found in the list ? Thanks.

You need to find your closest location.
There aren't stations in every city.
Also you drag and swipe your screens for moving htem

Thanks for the reply. But that's not what I expected. It's clear now that Desire takes weather data from Accuweather. I remember when I was using WM (Jade) some cities are not listed by HTC (especially the small cities), but data actually exist in the main Accuweather database. (e.g. Labuan is not listed in Wildfire but actually listed in the main Accuweather dbase). These cities can actually be added by modifying/adding to weather.xml file. I am not sure what file is used in (Android) Wildfire. Does anyone know ? and if so how to edit that file ? Thanks.

Are we able to wake the phone using the Optical Trackpad Button? Its quite tedious to use the power button every time.

Sense Graphics are in the .APKs for sense,
You could modify them with a decompile tool and recompile the apk and theoretically put them back onto the device but you need full root and general knowledge of recompiling an app.
