It might help if you provide a bit more detail, such as what ROM you're using and the launcher you're using.
Assuming however that you are using a stock Streak, the home screen you refer to is just a widget and can be replaced by looking for it in the widgets.

No Weather Animation on Home Screen?!

So I flashed KWBR_HD2_2.0 on my tmous htc hd2 and everything seems to be running smoothly except one thing I noticed is that there is absolutely no weather animation effects on the home screen tab! I really liked the lightning and the rain/windshield wipers going off during changing weather...
I've got CHT installed... and I have the weather toggle switch in my quicklinks but it is always off - when I press it, nothing happens, it doesn't switch to the ON position.
I've tried searching the forum but all I come up with is people having trouble getting the weather to update my location - that's not the issue here.
Does anyone know of any registry key that you need to change or cab file to install to get the weather animation running on the home tab (ie to see the clouds drifting, the rain pouring, the snow falling, etc etc.)?
Any help is appreciated!
Hi,
If you navigate to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla and change the value of Home.WallpaperMode to 0 and then restart, it should work.

How to change bottom 4 icons on home screen?

A noob question....I just rooted my SG2 using chainfires method, worked great! I would like to be able to change the icons on the bottom of the home screen, can't stand stock messaging app. What's the easiest way to go about this?
Thanks!
Why here you asked this?There is a Questions and Answers topic in this section.....
Use a launcher like ADW ex or LauncherPRO and you can customize the icons or swap them round. Touch whiz is pretty shiz to be honest.
By the way, this is the wrong thread for this question, should go in Q&A
Hi rsk99
Like the guys above said this should be in the Q&A section.
To change the icons on the bottom of the screen first hit the applications icon. Now hit the menu key and go to edit. You can now change the fist 3 icons but not the Home/Applications icon

Open the app drawer then press menu key and select edit. You can then change 3 of the shortcuts. The app drawer shortcut cannot be changed.
Or simply go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102965

[Q] TouchWiz 5 GT-i9300T AUS Vodafone Dock problems

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
I am running JB at the moment, so can't tell you perfectly. But I remember having this situation before and I used menu-edit to change icons in dock. try that.
Or go into app drawer and navigate to page where chrome is then go menu-edit... pick chrome and try to bring it down on the dock.

Doing menu-edit changes the dock bar and give me the following 4 options to drag the icon on to.... "Create Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" "Delete".

Do menu-edit while you are in app drawer.
Home screen - app drawer - menu - edit

Thanks for your reply...I had already tried this. The only difference is that now once you start to drag instead of the "Creat Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" and "Delete" it does the same but just with those as icons and no text.

Gonna go and get rooted the I can take full advantage of APEX Launcher.
Hi All,
Like StefsGalaxy, I've done a myriad of searches re: TouchWiz Shortcut Dock and thus have yielded no results, or at least nothing fluid anyway.
I guess it is a localised issue. i.e. AU Only. I'm with the Vodafone network but have seen posts the same from people who are on Telstra.
I've read a few threads on XDA RE: Modifying TouchWiz, and have been fairly successful. Said Mods have mostly been Column / Row modifications to allow for more icons on the HomeScreen and AppDrawer.
I'm interested to know if there is a way I can
A) Modify the application shortcuts on the dock (within the APK)
B) Undo the changes that Samsung have 'borked'
C) Revert to a pre-jelly bean version of TouchWiz (seclauncher2.apk) where the functionality to change the Apps still exists..
Perhaps if I could find seclauncher.apk from a 4.0.4 build (any directions on where are welcome), I could compare the differences between the two and re-compile for 4.1.1.
Any alternative suggestions that don't involve a complete ROM change or a new Launcher? (I quite like what I have)
Thanks in advance....

[Q] re-order theme's screens

I am using the "Jet Stream" theme and added a new screen. I want to move that screen from being the last screen to the second (after home). I tried unlockng the widgets, but only got into trouble and deleting stuff my mistake. How do you specify the screen ordering? Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately screen reordering isn't available just yet. If you do run into trouble, we recommend saving your theme by long pressing on the homescreen, selecting the Save Theme option, then if you encounter any errors you can simply reload this theme from the list of themes available.
Hope this helps!

OK, thanks!

Request: Stock LG home

I messed up mine and like a dummy I didn't make a back up.
Does anyone have the APK, or can point me to the right direction?
Thanks

Are you looking for the Home theme apk or Home launcher apk?
Give the full name and I'll upload it for you.
If you tried to update it (using the Home from Velvet for example), you can revert it back to the original version by uninstalling the update. Go to App Info>Home and click the three dots in the top right hand corner.
