I am attempting to build an Ubuntu like boot screen for my phone with the default Ubuntu logon sound.
However in my failed attempts to do this, I have ruined/misplaced my original Sprint.Gif and boot.mp3.
Could one of you please email me a copy of your Sprint.gif and Boot.mp3. You can adb shell in to /system/media/bootscreen and cp them to you sd card.
You can email them to me kcarpenter five two eight AT gmail.com
Thanks a million in advance!
You could also grab the boot screens from the fresh pre kitchen. he has 5 other s screen as well as the original Sprint in there
I am on a linux machine right now, wouldn't run.

Does not need to, the files are all in folders, the proggie is just a simple .exe to access them. Just unzip and you will have all you need.
Doesnt have to, the files are included. Just get them from the folder.

Ahhhhh, thank you gents for the enlightenment. On with my screw ups. Any of you know if these gifs have certain requirements? Like can only have x ammount of colors? When I put my GIFs in, its like a broken video card - all staicy and pixelated can't even tell what the image is.
There may be code that specifies the height and width..
Did you match your size with the file you replaced?

Yes sir, 320 x 480 on the sprint logo. The XML file has some numbers but I have no clue what they are refering to.
ScreenX = 100
ScreenY = 130
Noj you seem to be the art guy, any ideas?

I may be incorrect about this but if you compare those numbers to actual screen size that seems very close to the size of the animation.
@ WTPhoto, the HTC and HERO images are 300 x 120 the Sprint image is 320 x 480 - I replaced the Sprint.gif with this one.
If someone has any clue what I am doing wrong here let me know.
I have another thread going about that specific problem in the Apps/Themes sub forum.
I am making a new boot screen for my self that mimics an Ubuntu one. Problem I have, is durring the animation, as far as I can tell frame 2...crap hits the fan. The image distorts in a funny pixelated way. Not sure how to describe it other than an explosion of random colored pixels. Well not so random colored, they are the colors that are in the image.
So I guess my question is, are there certain ways the GIF needs to be formated? Color restrictions? Frame restriction? In all the image is 32 kb so its not huge. I have it formated is a Animated Gif WebSnap 128 - There is no transparency.

EDIT:
Ok so uploading the image to the thread didn't keep the animation - promise its not just a black picture lol

lol like I said I I could be wrong. I dont know ANYTHING about GIF's never had any desire to mess with them until now. I am however pretty happy with the horizontal nexus one bootscreen just added the "fresh" sound to it.
be intresting to see if you can get this going.
This is what the boot actually looks like...screen-o-garbage
Just another thing that stops me from putting my ROM out there, I don't want to have to fix this crap lol.

hmmm, I needed to look into bootscreens anyway, lol
got a request for one
1st guess is the x and y are either screen position coordinates or a timer for each image.
Can you setup a dl for your file, pm it to me?
I can make a animated gif from scratch if I need to

Yeah, Ill PM . Right now we are snowed in at my In-laws house, it will be a day or two before we dig out.
Here is the gif if you want to take a look at it. I had to zip it, if you upload a gif the site turns it to a jpeg.
Forgot to post the zip.
Hi,
I currently have a HDWallpaper on my HTC; is it possible to use the same HDWallpaper as my lock screen image? I would also like the HDwallpaper to be set in the background when view the phone files (when clicking on the windows or 'Start button)
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.
Save the image you used for your HDWall on your phone (just the image not as a .cab) then under personalize in settings set that image as lockscreen wallpaper.
I think.

Is it just a case of renaming the file to a .jpg when I download it onto the HTC Sniper? within the .cab file itself I cannot see an actual image file.
Cheers.
I'm guessing it's an HD-Wall you got off here rather than one you made yourself then?
In that case you'll need to use something like m9editor to convert it back from the qtc file in the cab file.
If you want to post the cab on here I should be able to do it for you if you want? Bit new to all this myself.

Here you go mate, there were actually 3 images in your .cab, think maybe it had landscape options too? I've converted the 3 to .png's just as they came and also cropped and converted to .jpeg's. I think the one I've named "1" is what you want, but put them all in just in case, like I say, I'm a bit new to all this.
Put them all in a zip file as I think you lose some image quality if you post them as attachments. Let me know if it works?
Cheers.

Hi,
Can you please share a zipped archive of them? They are very beautiful but downloading them one by one is hard.
Thanks
thanks mate, this is a valuable info about the resolution of the wallpaper....

I second this....although i dont think its hard, but it is a tad bit annoying. I want like a full packed up zip.
These are cool thanks for sharing. I also made a big pack of wallpapers I use with the Photo Gallery Live Wallpaper that I might as well share. They are high quality png's cropped down to n1 res from a bunch of wallpapers I got on deviantart. The way I use them is I put them all on the sd card in some folder then point the live wallpaper at that folder.
Sorry, it is a big file (98.46MB). It has 105 wallpapers at the time of posting this but I do add to it.

i made a boot animation to match the liberty rom. it is the raising of the flag on mnt serabachi on iwo jima. i made the folder structure and the appropriate desc.txt but it wont play on my dx. Can anyone help me get this to work?
sound DO NOT WORK on liberty Rom (dont ask me why cuz i really dont know), i was checking you animation and i recommend to use at least minimum 480x320 image size and max 480x854 , as you may know you can set the animation size on the desc.txt so no need to go high and then going down on the desc.txt , that way you'll have a not heavy and lighter zip file at the end cuz 29MB for a bootanimation is kinda big using only 220 frames.....
P.S. that's one of the reason i use .jpg format instead of .png
thank you for the reply. is there any way to batch resize the pictures? i really dont want to do 220 pics individually. I CAN however, batch rename the pictures to the .jpg extension. I will do that and research how to batch resize.

well you need a plugin, but its free and so far working great! not only is it resizing all my images, but it is also changing em to .jpg at the same time.
i just finished resizing, im going to try it now.
ok i tested the boot animation again with the resized pictures in a jpg format. the size is now 480x360 because i kept the original ratio, and i made the desc.txt 480x360 at 15fps. i converted everything to .jpg and i removed the audio. i used the liberty toolbox to flash it then i confirmed it was in the right spot using root explorer. i rebooted and all that appeared was a blank screen... any suggestions?
i really would like an answer, bump
Make sure when putting all the files/images/desc file into the zip you set the compression method to STORE and not NORMAL. When my bootanims were just a black screen this is what fixed it.

if you are using WINRAR do the follow :
1- select the folders and file to compress
2- right click on you mouse/touch pad (in case you are using a laptop like me LoL)
3- select " add to archive"
4- there you can change you compression method from normal to store
5- add a name to the file and select ZIP
6- click OK
7- you're done.
if you are using 7zip is pretty much the same steps from winrar...
hope that helps
thank you so much it works now! im going to put a few finishing touches on it and post it up!

Super ..... hope to see your animation soon
a few things for future reference though,
1. what is a good gif creator? i have tried at least 10 websites and at least 6 programs and none do what i want efficiently. i want to open all 220 frames at once and make an animation rather than opening each individually like i had to.
2. what is a good video to jpg creator? i had to go frame by frame and take snapshots for my entire animation last time and i took like 2 hours:/

1 - Animated GIF Producer and Ulead GIF Animator so far are the best out there
2 - Video to JPG converter is my favorite and the best for bootanimations.

-_- transparency possible in png n gif only
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium
no its possible
download image from here
i someone can do it
i will add his name to my rom credits
you've mastered jpg transparency,omg,where have u been hiding,i have a few 100 jpeg icons i'd love to make transparent,please share your secret
Instead of jpg transparency, is it possible to modify source to read png instead of jpg?
LâTêS†↭ⓛⓘⓝⓚⓢ™CM10 HTC A310E.
If I haven't given you link, it's above. Just click it
Photoshop gives me an error, an unknown or invalid jpeg marker was found while opening. I looked up the error and it means that the file, though saved as a jpeg image, isnt really a jpeg. its extenstion has been changed. i renamed it to png and it worked fine. Tiff didnt work either. So its just a png renamed as jpeg. Theoretically, true jpeg images cannot have transparency
yes i already tested ur idea
but not working
but it works fine with sense 4 lockscreen jpg

Guys, stop trying, transparency is supported in PNG & GIF only.
yes i know
but renaming method works
just make a background transparent in png and then rename image to jpg
Finally
after 18 months of trying, with abit of help, i've finally learned how to make transparent jpeg icons and its without photoshop or gimp

Open New file in photoshop, dimensions same as pic you wanna edit, drag pic from desktop to it! Now in the right side select the right layer and change opacity !
This is how I do it, don't know if works on jpg
Sent.....just sent
anyway thanks
but it not works with jpg
my renaming method works
just convert image to png,edit it and add transparent background and save it
then rename it to jpg
here's the trick
you will NEVER get transparent jpeg icons in photoshop or gimp, trust me, I've tried for 18 months, here's what I was shown..........
if using a windows pc, go to folder options, make it look like the picture I've uploaded then every icon will have its type on the end such as .png, all you have to do is rename it to jpg, then choose yes when menu appears and viola, you have transparent jpeg icons, I to couldn't believe how simple it was, I've made 450 transparent jpg icons in the last 2 days for my mods

Stop that nonsense now.
Read jpg-format definition (google it). It does not include any transparency channel. There is no such thing as a transparent jpg.
How funny is the idea to rename a png to jpg? If you rename Mark Zuckerberg to Pamela Anderson, he will not become a woman! A PNG stays a PNG no matter how you name it.
Additionally that thread is Off Topic.
