Hmmm...that's weird. Are you using this on a VGA device? (the theme is only designed for QVGA...). It may be due to missing fonts... someone earlier pointed out to me that I only included the necessary fonts in V1 of my theme. I've added a link on the first post now where you can download just the font files. Try copying these into your \windows\fonts directory and soft-resetting to see if that gets the temperature to display.

white icon without animation

hi, i 'm trying to use animated icon but i see only static figure with white background. I have copied them into large folder and renamed them to .pna... what's wrong?i use trial version of weather panel 2.5.1
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To test out the animated icons you need to do the following:

1. Delete or rename the existing static .png image file in the \LARGE icon directory

2. Copy the animated .wpa file in to the \LARGE icon directory. DO NOT rename the file...leave it as .wpa. There should only be one file per weather state ... either a static png or an animated wpa...not both or I suspect WeatherPanel will run into problems.
[Windows Mobile Themes] danzaywer:
1.I renamed the static images to .old

2. I copied the animated images to LARGE folder and tryied -> static image with white background

3.I renamed the .wpa to .pna ->static image with white background

with the pc viewer the icon works fine!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
Do not rename the .wpa to .pna. Go back and rename them .wpa and the animation should work in Weatherpanel.
[Windows Mobile Themes] danzaywer:
same result
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
That is strange, have you tried doing a soft reset after you renamed the files? What version of weatherpanel are you using?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
POLL

Ok...I've completed 21 of the animated weather icons and I'm, for the most part, extremely happy with the results and am looking forward to being able to pass them on to you all to try out. :D

I did want to have a poll here to get some of your inputs on an item I've been unable to decide upon. I have decided to go with the endless loop / repeated animations (though I will likely post a non-repeating animation version of my theme as well). Surprisingly the long complex animations aren't that difficult to blend so that the endless animations loop appears to flow somewhat nicely. However when it comes to the short simpler weather states, I'm having a difficult time deciding on how best to do the animations. With short & simple animations it is very easy to notice the repeating frames and can end up looking a bit corny in my opinion.

So here's the poll I'd like to make. Attached are three versions of the "Partly Cloudy" weather state. I'd like to know which one you prefer so I have an idea on how best to approach these simple weather icons.

Version A: Simplest animation. Sun throbs behind the cloud.

Version B: Sun throbs and cloud goes by the screen repeatedly.

Version C: Sun throbs, and cloud swoops in and then fades out.

Version C, I believe, is the closest to the actual Diamond animation....but don't know for sure.

So...which do you like best? A, B, or C? If you have any other ideas, send them my way! You can either post your vote/idea here or PM me with it. For simple votes, I would prefer you simply PM me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] danzaywer:
Yes, i tryed the soft reset,reloading UL .ini and also to use weather panel stand alone in today...

I'm using the cab provided in the download page of weaterpanel,trial version
[Windows Mobile Themes] itje:
mm, I dont have any pna files, there is only png files??
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali banana:
me too:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] pocket drock:
im using skin version 1 and the icon apears at the top left of the screenwhere the temp is. I tried version C of the icon and what i can see of it looks good. can you post the other versions of the skin using a different link? maybe zshare? thanks. plz keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Oops..you're correct. PNG files...not pna. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] rwertz14:
I have mine setup as a plugin in ThrottleLauncher and it works great, I don't know about UL. Hopefully someone can help you get it working. Right now there are only 3 .wma's working, so it needs to be sunny, partly cloudy or windy and raining at your location to see them working in Weatherpanel. Hopefully this week there will be a new release with all the wma for all conitions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] J0nas:
What´s your WeatherPanel version? How do you "activate" the moons? To me, it only appears all black(like attached image)... :\
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali banana:
How do you create .wpa files ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Any suggestions for an alternate hosting site? The new V5 animated theme is going to be BIG. I would guess about 30-40Megs. And don't worry...this theme will be installable on your storage card.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
To correct the moon phase display you need to download version 2.5. You can find details at http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=184
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
.wpa files are PNG-Animation files (MNG animations) that simply have the file extension renamed from .mng to .wpa.

To create the .wpa animations I do the following:

1) Using GIMP + GAP (Gimp Animation Package) I put together my animation filmstrip. The output of this process is a "film strip" of .png files...about 11 for small animations and 40+ for the longer ones.

2) Once the serious of .PNG files are complete, I use ImageMagick to convert the string of PNGs into a MNG file (a great tutorial is at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_basics/#types)

3) Once the MNG file is created I rename it to .wpa and it's done.
[Windows Mobile Themes] itje:
allright, I got the animation up, but as mentioned by another user, the animated one shows up in upper left corner
[Windows Mobile Themes] ryomahino:
Well bro I prefer the version C, looks more like the diamond weather.

Maybe this Diamond weather video can help you
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali banana:
Thx a lot.

Do you why the 30.wpa file is displayed smaller than the 30.png file and why is it displayed on the left up corner? I use WP 2.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Arrrg...Sorry folks...I forgot to mention that the actual weather panel theme has been updated in order to display my new animations in the correct location. When I release Version 5 of my WeatherPanel theme the animations will be correctly centred on the screen.

For now it is best to view the animation files in the stand-alone desktop PC MNG viewer I posted earlier (though I should note that playback speed will be much faster on your desktop PC than inside WeatherPanel). If you really want to try out the A, B, and C versions of 30.wpa inside weatherPanel you'll need to edit Manila.wpl and Forecast.wpx as follows:

In Manila.wpl and Forecast.wpx change;

;IMAGE

#CURRENTICON-CUSTOM-LARGE#

0,0

Unfortunately doing so will cause all your static PNG files to not be centered on your screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] itje:
no problem :)

great work man, really looks awsome
[Windows Mobile Themes] thefoss:
I'm a little new to skinning. Can you point me to a directions as to what i do once i've installed Weatherpanel, and where to put these icon files ect.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aeratos:

can u post your work bro
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rumball:
Awesome! Thanks...I've never seen that video before...definitely helps me out! :)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] slyd1619:
I was using Facebook for a long time reading some comments and after I closed the app I noticed that there were some details "burned" in the screen that were clearly visible from a grey/dark background because the Facebook app doesn't have a dark mode it's all white and bright.

The same occurs when I play Minesweeper for a long time, the squares get burned all over the screen.

After a while, the "burns" just goes away, until the next time I use a bright app for a long time.

Is it common or is it a display fault? What can I do?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] slyd1619:
Saw another thread regarding the same issue.

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-8/help/redmi-note-8-tianma-lcd-panel-t3991425/

There are more replies on that thread and also other people facing the same issue, but I'd still like to know what can be done regarding this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] jc9896:
My LG G5 had this issue too, my RN8 didn't though.

Attach a screenshot here with the panel info from Settings > About phone > All specs > tap on Kernel version 5 times > Software version.

Panel version is under TP Info.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] slyd1619:
It's attached on my second comment.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] jc9896:
oh, ok.

Sorry for not noticing. I have the exact same panel type (tianma panel) but not the burn in issue.

Try setting your display colour warmer using either screen filter from play store or thru system settings (worked for my g5) and avoid using auto brightness.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] slyd1619:

When I bought they advertised as "Global".

Also, all the instructions on the papers are in spanish.

if all the papers are in spanish it must be the mexican version, not global, so yeah, same batch as that guy for sure

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] junkiespam:
Thank you 😁
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] slyd1619:
Thanks, I had solved it in late 2019 / early 2020, and had been using Paranoid Android since then.

Two and a half years later with the same build and ROM (and a lot of bugs that accumulated over time) I flashed Lineage with android 11 and the screen retention started happening again, after some searches I found this post, took me some time to realize it was my own hahahaha

But yeah, for anyone having this issue, most ROMs should have a "Live Display" feature under "Settings -> Display" and then you can set it to 90% in each option (Red, Green, Blue) and the issue should be fixed.

How can I know if my device Tianma display or not?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 10372799:
Go in to the phone app and dial *#*#6484#*#*. Under 1 and then LCD you can then find the manufacturer.

I don't know if it actually matters. I read here that it affects devices when using the Redmi 8a recovery. Since I forked the code and have a Tianma display I can't really look in to the problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pulka103:
Have you got MTP working while at TWRP? I can't seem to get it right, Windows don't see my phone (adb and fastboot are working). While using adb-sideload I've got error that my mi-globe.zip rom cannot be installed through that method

------ EDIT -----

So, I flashed fastboot stock ROM and recovery. Then flashed this recovery. Booted into stock ROM, copied my custom ROM, rebooted into recovery and still couldn't install - after half of the installation process TWRP shouted that it couldn't mount /system partition. How did you get it to work? And thanks for work! :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yamabokra1:

I recompiled TWRP with MTP enabled and it seems to show up as a device but i can't access data from the device.

I installed the image via a sd-card, but usb-otg or adb push should also work.

Okay I changed the default mounting point of the system partition. Try again with the new image.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pulka103:
I do have a Tianma display. Problem isn't with controls but with the TWRP itself in my case.

Just tried new image, same problem "Checking /system. /system is not mounted! Trying to mount /system RW. /system cannot be mounted. [...] Installation will be aborted."

I am using Mi-Globe right now, gonna try with "clean" Xiaomi.eu.

And still can't access storage through Windows Explorer (but device itself is seen, tested with adb).
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pulka103:

[MENTION=10372799]seprode[/MENTION], Reading your post and seen your work, I decided and today I ordered a Redmi 8 (olive) for my self , too.

I am very thankful that there are people like you, pioneers, who open the path, for all of us to follow.

Thank you again for what you are doing for us.

I hope, soon enough, some developer will pay attention to our new phone and , maybe , we will be also able to see new Android (Q ?) roms for it.

I am active involving so far in Samsung NOTE 2(exynos) and Note 4 (snapdragon) and also Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus community

I will do my best and see, if any of these groups will be able , in the future, to do something for our little brother here.

But the path you have open, is the very important first step to it.

Ok im back. Hows going androids? I am not a robot! But a few of my friends might disagree with statement.

I left off and we were about to finish up the build environment and get repo started so lets do that and i will tell you about the first big snag in the project next to not being able to find those three dependency libraries stated above.

Here we go first we create a new bin folder just for compiling android in the HOME folder of your ubuntu operating system then we set its path, download the repo launcher and set up our scripts.

By the way i probably should have mentioned this earlier but i assume every body at this point has some command line experience and should know that you copy these comnands and paste them one at a time. Please do not copy a whole code block at one time and paste it to your terminal or your gonna have a bad time like when you pizza when you are supposed to french fry.

Ok i want to do an experimental kernel build for my Alcatel tetra to try some things i hope to implement into my lmx210 build.

Can someone help me figure out to add a few of these options...'

Overclocked cpu or adjustable clock speed

Devtmpfs so i can fastboot other phones

power enabled otg

Loop device

Also which android kernel source should i download. Upstream or experimental or what. I just know i need a 4.4 + kernel

Alexcs.... Its an experimental issue with compiling on phone to see if there is a way to configure the system to allow for every thing needed to be able to do so. I cant always get to my pc and dont always have the option to dual boot or ubuntu. Some folks may not have access at all or only enough time to flash thier phone.

In this case the person compiling could build thier rom on thier device then take it and flash it when they can get to a pc
