Hey bro, Thanks for replying I'm a newbie. Will you please elaborate? I mean what is it? Is it an app? Or something like that?
And does it cause any harm to the phone? Coz in most of the HTC phones I see that Black Background. They never opt for this.
And can I undo the changes?
Thanks In Advance! Please explain me

And is rooting necessary for this? As I have mentioned earlier, I'm a newbie and I don't have much idea about rooting and don't wanna get into it. So please mention that too.

Bro, just go to Google play store and download nova launcher. Easiest way I can think of.

Yep bro, yesterday after surfing the net, I came across various Android Launchers but in the end they set-up their own themes which are quite different from Sense 6.
I just want one thing-I want to change that black background in the Menu without changing anything else! And WITHOUT ROOTING my device.
It seems as if it is impossible to do that.
Still if anybody could help, I would be very grateful

Sorry to hear that ? well I was reluctant with giving up sense 6 at the beginning but I am very satisfied with my current set up with nova launcher and it has really grown on me. Well that's just my case since I don't use BlinkFeed anyway, still if by chance I come by a solution without needing to install a new ROM I will let you know ?

Live wallpapers ONLY on lockscreen (and NOT on homescreen)?

Hi everyone,
I know that there are similar topics around, but these didn't answer my question.
I would like to have a live wallpaper only in my lockscreen, and a regular one on my homescreen. I tried dozens of apps, including LockBot, but these didn't solve it.
So, does anyone know an app like this? Or another way to do it? Thanks in advance
no one that can help?
Yeah, I'm looking for the same thing!

If you mean home screens, actually not. There are 7 home screens, and you can't control it. You can install another launcher, if you want

Thanks a lot, I'll go through the forum to look for launchers but let me share with you the ideas that hit me even before thinking:
1- will Sense be still there installed ?
2- any launchers you recommend ?

No, sense will be installed anyway. You can uninstall unused things using root uninstaller (Only if you have root[be careful]). What about launchers, try looking "LauncherPro", and, ADW launcher EX, i think, it's the best now.

How to replace the slide answering with a single touch?

ZL is a bit too big to handle by single hand. Sometimes I have to slide a couple of times to answer the phone call sucessfully.
So is it possible to replace it with a virtual button? I do think it cool for every vendor to follow apple.

HTC Weather Live Wallpaper for M8?

This app is missing on HTC One M8.
Is there way to get my hands on the app, and get it work on M8?
Thanks in advance

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I agree!!! I loved that stupid wallpaper! Need it back!!!
Yes, why did they remove this wallpaper and the blinkfeed 3d animation when scrolling?? HTC does make som strenge changes!
Anyway, hope someone is able to upload an apk of the live wallpaper.
I know, there are a lot of users looking forward to have this option back again.
Sometimes you really can not understand companies, why they would remove a useful feature.

You created Sky Weather? Well I want to personally thank you. I loved that wallpaper, and I have been searching for something to take its place since it was removed. I bought it immediately. I don't care if it's copied or whatever, I care that it works and looks fine. Godspeed.
Sky weather is awesome! Quick question Junaid if you have a minute. ....?
On my old M7...whn i would hit the data sync/refresh toggle... The live weather wallpaper wld refresh as well (update to current conditions). It doesnt appear that sky weather updates whn i hit the data sync toggle.....is that possible? Or do i actually have to go into settings and hit the "refresh" if i want to refresh. (I understand we can set the auto refresh rate, but i am just curious and wld be nice if it wld update whn i hit the sync toggle)
Thx again for the awesome app!!

Thanks, great app!
But could you add sunc with actual sunrise and sunset? In my area sunset at 22:00, now it's 19:30 and there is night wallpaper already. Original app worked fine with this.
I believe there is android API to get time of sunset, sunrise and weather.

Battery usage
Hey all,
First, I love the Sky Weather app!
Missed it since I moved to the m8.
I recognized, that the Battery usage is realy high!
Is there a special reason for that?
Somehow it looks like the app is running permanently in the background...
Would be greate if that could be fixed!
Thanks for an answer!
Cheers

Do you still have it on your M8 or not? Below is an alternative that I have seen recommended, worth a go.

Color balance issues and a few others

I finally got my new OP3 but I've noticed some color shifting when tilting the phone. Is this normal? Also I need help with something else. I want to completely remove lockscreen wallpaper on oxygen OS, so that it shows my home screen wallpaper. I'm rooted and I've tried deleting the keyguard wallpaper files, but all it does is show me a black screen unlike on the OP2. Can someone help?
1) there is no colour shifting on my op3, do you have a tempered screen guard on your phone?
2) when on oxygen os launcher long press on empty area of your home screen and select the lock screen wallpaper from there. its annoying that everytime you have to switch to oneplus launcher to change lockscreen wallpaper.
Isn't it possible to straight up get rid of it? I remember doing it on the OP2. By uninstalling the keyguard wallpaper file in system/users. But it keeps coming back after a black screen... And about the color balance, it only appears if I tilt my phone, which I read is a common problem with AMOLED screens all over. Can you confirm?

The only way is to set the same wallpapers for homescreen and lockscreen, there is no way to get rid of the wallpaper so you'll have to do it manually.
