Port Request :)

Is there a way to have this ported to the Hero? These are the best icons I have seen in Android so far (imho)

Mayb with some resizing the icons can b used in one of the roms 4 the hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Well afaik the icons are changed by changing the apk and resigning. I don't know how to change the icons in the apk or resign, so I don't know how to do this... if someone were to do this, they could just make it a flashable zip to change the icons on almost any ROM (with the apps)

could ask him. Konib used to dev for the Hero

It would look better and take way less time if you either asked konib to do it or asked to have his originals so you could port it. Resizing indexed .pngs from higher resolution to lower resolution makes them look like crap. (not all but a lot of them)

That's not even close to being true. Most of the icons in my roms r from hi Res roms that I port down to our phones. They look great. Ill port these later when I get home if the op wants to pm me the link

How can you say its not even close to being true when Im sitting here staring at a GPS icon I took from the Droid X resized it to 25x25 and there are a few pixels that are out of place? Unless I'm doing it wrong... even then its still close to being right. And how can porting a theme from a higher res theme not be time consuming?

You're right. Theres no argument about the the depreciation of images when resizing. They get compressed. Its not a matter of opinion, or conjecture, its fact. If you are able to refute this, let me know.

Well to correct everyone,resizing will remove some of the clarity of the image. Scaling the image down will preserve the clarity to do this we start with a 38x38 image create a new blank 25x25 and paste the image in, then use transform to shrink the image down. This actually scales the full image to size. That is for photoshop . Fireworks also can accomplish this very well . This is just my experience after 7 years of PhotoShop

I have most of the icons resized. I can't finish until later today. I just have a couple to finish and put them into the apk's and make a flashable zip or I can create a metamorph file.

Metamorph please I have better luck with them not messing with any of my other mods.

I did what I could for now. I will make both a flashable zip and a metamorph theme. I haven't made a metamorph theme since they changed the program, but I should have something up either tonight or in the morning. And I am putting the icons in both the HTC apps(HTC dialer, mail, messaging) as well as the AOSP apps, because I am not sure who uses what.

I love the look of the icons, reminds me of WP 7 (which I think looks gorgeous)

I had some problems with some of them. I will have them on here before Noon tomorrow.

Here you go. I am reflashing a sense rom and then going to flash this again and see what needs to be worked on

[GUIDE] Wallpaper-Template (Stock Launcher + LP) [UPDATE: 30-Jun-2011]

Hey there
Since it seems kinda hard to get your wallpaper not cropped, I made a template just for the TF (Stock Launcher)^^
The whole wallpaper has to be 2048x1504, even thought your homescreen will only show 1368x804 of the whole wallpaper...
Your wallpaper has to contain a section you will never see (top: 123px, bottom 175px)
And to on the left & right side 20px you will only see through the bounce-effect.
If the template is not enough I can write some guide for making wallpapers, too
Good luck ;D
UPDATE 27-Jun-2011:
Added new/updated templates:
Stock - 2048x1504
Stock - 1917x1408
Launcher Pro - 1700x1358
UPDATE 30-Jun-2011:
New Template for portrait mode - 2048x1504
So.. about the resolution thing... the transformer resizes the wallpapers to 1920x1408... so speaking of "sharpness" it doesnt matter if you make it 2048x1504 or 1920x1408 (template is still 1917... I mean... 3 pixels <.<)
The only thing that matters is what you want to see... if you got a bigger picture you want to see, take the higher resolution and the transformer will scale it down to 1920x1408 by itself.
Going to rewrite the guide for both resolutions tomorrow (if i have time to..)

*suggestion: maybe you can make us wallpapers, like make a wallpaper thread just for the TF.. just saying. / other than that, thanks for the template
Sent from GadgetViews.... Rockin Evo CM7 Nightlies.

the problem with making wallpapers is that I dont know what exactly you want to see on your homescreen
sure, if someone needs help I can build the wallpaper for him, its easy with wallpapers bigger than 2048x1504, but it gets kinda tricky if the wallpaper is smaller then you have to add custom borders to each site so the pic you want to see is in the center.
If you are ok with black borders around the pic, then thats no problem too, but if you dont want a black frame around the pic, it's a lot of harder to make it fit and look good
So if you can't get it done yourself, just ask If I got time to spare I'll help you out.

thanks for the template!
maybe someone should just make a wallpaper thread and we can all post ones that work nicely in it.
if no one makes one before i get around to making some wallpapers, i'll do it

2048x1504px
I was using 1920x1408 which seems to work perfect for me, I even checked if it gets resized using a 2x2px grid - strange.
greetz

I'm using Gimp for Windows, if anyone is wondering what app can be used too edit or resize a wallpaper.
GIMP FOR WINDOWS
I think this is the longest i have spent trying to apply a *^(%^(^%(^ wallpaper on anything and cant figure it out.
Using wallpaper wizardrii, isn't helping.
Holding the tablet horizontal 99% of the time, gives me short, not long enough, views of the wallpaper
I've tried the dimension up top in every way possible lol
H (2048) x W (1504)
also
W (2048) x H (2048)
I can take screen shots but im about too see if this tablet can/will be a true transformer out the window

LP plus with auto-rotate

The original Asus tree wallpaper that was ripped from a TF was 2135 x 1408 pixels. I see that your dimensions are slightly different. Are you saying that the original had less/extra information in it than was necessary, or just that 2048 x 1504 looks good enough onscreen not to need to make it precisely like the original please?

The resolution I use was mentioned in the Home Screen Thread and its working flawless. If you for example take my template and set it as your wallpaper, you will see that the crop-selection fills the whole pic. Even thought the crop-lines shown, arent the real ones you will have after the cut (Mine are the real ones.. )
the problem with 2135x1408 is that when you crop it, there is a part which is not in the crop-selection-field.. so you wont get 2135x1408, but 1917x1408 and your center screen will be about 1280x753... maybe they did it because display resolution is 1280x800.. but yeah they got 1280 with their version and we got x804 with mine maybe I should "optimize" it to x800 ;D

Ok cheers for the info.

So here is a first version of the launcherpro template
pic size is 1700x1358
homescreen is 1362x800
still trying to figure out whats the best resolution for the homescreen area...
EDIT:
see first post

sweet will try this..i am amking them @ 1920x1408

updated first post =)
if somebody still has problems just feel free to ask

So is there a special way to put these wallpapers into my Transformer (rooted) or do I just stick them in my SD?

Put them on the internal or external sd, long tap the homescreen, choose wallpapers, then gallery and search for your picture last you have to resize the crop-thing to cover the whole screen. at least thats the way for the stock launcher

Okay like that?

Thx, but definition image is blurry now
My original is 1680*1050, and you made 2048*1504 with my picture, the stretching modification render is not sharp now...
Picture resolution must be 1368x804 ? (with a little crop, to keep original ratio if necessary)
So can you make a picture with this resolution 1368x804
After resizing my picture, can you center it in your template, with black color surrounding in non-shown parts ?

Splash Screens by Watcher07

I recently started learning how to do some work in the community with splash screens. Initially I just did three as copies of an image from another community member (got his permission), but I seem to be making more and more thus the need for a singular thread.
So far, these are all simply splash screens for the Synergy Roms, however as splash screens go, well it doesn't matter what rom you're running, would just be a bit strange running savaged mod with a Synergy splash, but thats on y'all.
Anyway, as I get better then I'll branch into boot animations or lockscreen mods and maybe even theming roms, but for the moment this is it.
If you have a particular image you want made into one, I can give it a shot. I wish I had more talent as a digital artist, but since I don't then I use images I can find and get permission when at all possible.
Thanks for stopping by.
Instructions for installing any of my splash screens:
1) Remove everything after the "-" from the filename so it is just "PC36IMG" or if you have file extensions set to show, it will read "PC36IMG.zip".
2) Copy it to the root of your SD Card.
3) Reboot the phone into bootloader.
4) Bootloader should automatically detect it and ask you if you want to install it, hit Volume up for yes.
5) A couple seconds later it will prompt you to reboot with another Volume up, go fer it.
6) Your new splash screen will show up, the peasants will rejoice, and peace will reign across the land. Well, can't guarantee all that, but look for one of the above to happen.
Some examples of whats going on in this thread:

Synergy Splash Screens
So this is the set that I took the image from whiterider13 with his permission, they turned out pretty decent.

Some other Rom Splash Screens
More Synergy Screens

Miscellaneous Splash Screens
Testing out this style, seems to have gotten good reception so far. Will probably tweak it so it doesn't look quite so hacked together a little later, but let me know what you think. I'll probably start sorting through a green and red version later.

Three more I just wrapped up, feels like a step backwards from my last one, but they look decent. I think I did them just to offer variety more than anything.

Alright, I gotta admit, these look pretty slick in my opinion, despite the simplicity. Getting the color to change right was a big pain, and I'm still going to work on getting the blue one to look a hair cleaner than it does, but overall I think they look good. Hope you all enjoy.

Hello again forum. So I spent quite a bit more time on this than the original blue one, I tried pretty hard to make sure it doesn't look too "busy". I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but it appears to be coming along as a work in progress. However I do think it looks pretty cool for what it is right now. Let me know what you guys think though, thanks.

Crafted a simple signature, nothing fancy, just functional.

Great job on the splash screens....I have personally chosen the green swoosh splash as my splash screen...Thanks and once again, great work.

Actually that is kind of the plan, gotta fix the way Gimp is processing the font, clean everything up a bit, make a couple of small tweaks to it, generate the red version and reverse produce the final product for the other colors, then animate it. I'm also tempted to do a "noir" version of each splash screen cause I know there's anti-color folks out there. I don't want them to be simple black, white and shades of gray....I'm looking for them to maintain the same feel, just a lot more subtly. But that will be a bit further down the road. Thanks though for all the praise.

[CM9][BootAnimation][Fixed]

just cropped the one from our CM9 DP. change desc.txt from 1280x800 to 1024x600. Also manually resized all images from 1280x800 to 1024x640(to preserve aspect ratio) Works beautifully.
place in /data/local/ with permissions rw-r--r--
and will override, anything in /system/media.
I might do a portrait version if anyones interested.
There is another CM9 boot animation thread, that has all phone and tablet sizes, however i tried 1024x600 and 600x1024 and both did not fit right.
enjoy!
This should work for any tab plus with bootanimation.zip support.
Link would help, huh? : http://db.tt/Cpo9Zgiw

We're using the 1024x600 bootimage provided by CM, see:
https://github.com/alanorth/android_device_samsung_p6200/blob/ics/BoardConfig.mk#L27
Having said that, I've always thought the CM9 boot image looked a bit "off" on our tablet. I can't put my finger on it, though. Maybe it's the aspect ratio? I'll try this boot image if I can remember to get around to it.
btw, I guess CM might make a new boot image anyways, as the boot image has the OLD Andy, and now all CM stuff should be "Cid"
edit: You're right, this one is much better. I'd encourage you to submit your modified one to Gerrit, but again I feel that we'll probably see a Cid-based bootanimation soon...

yeah, i dont know if im feeling cid.
ill let them know, sure, thanks.

[Request] Walking At-At Boot Animation Port

I'm a huge star wars fan and found this awesome looking boot animation of an AT-AT walking.
If someone could port this over to the Nexus 5 that would be awesome and I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you! Flashing these when I get home!

Be aware.
I flashed file posted above and my Nexus hit boot loop.
The At-At animation just stopped at one specific moment and the phone restarted itself again.
Even reinstalling ROM didn't help - I had to do Factory Reset.
Latest TWRP installed, did everything by the book.
Maybe it's still my fault, no one can say.
Although, the animation is superb and thanks for porting it to N5!

No, you did fine. Animations with more than 199 frames in a folder seem to cause headaches. The original frames are also 1080x1920, which is very bad on a Nexus 5.
I did the cropping, left it at 213 frames, and it locked-up in the worst way. It clobbered my system and the OS had to re-optimize all my apps. Damn!
Try these:
Big - http://www.mediafire.com/download/c...Walker-Big-bootanimation-Nexus5-flashable.zip
Small - http://www.mediafire.com/download/n...lker-Small-bootanimation-Nexus5-flashable.zip
I've chopped the frames to 1080x720 (Big, scaled-up) and 1080x480 (Small, as original). I've also reduced the number of frames from 213 to 106.
Let me know what you think.

You fixed it!
Now everything works flawlessly, thanks.
I like the smaller version more - the big one looks quite blurry (I know it's caused by resizing, but it's just more visible), though it's great to have a choice.
One more time: thank you very, very much.

I thought they both looked rather blurry and "worked".
Did some research and found a much cleaner and slightly larger version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimations-36-custom-bootanimations-t2999434

Small - 1080x512, letter-boxed only with no scaling

No issues at all.
You made me want to turn my phone off and on just to see this animation.
Remarkable.
I really appreciate it, thanks.
