Touch Comm Manager Graphics Needed

Attached is a set of buttons that I am hoping a great artist can convert into a great looking set of IR Beam buttons. I'm like a 1st grader when it comes to free-hand artistical stuff - gimme some crayons!
I'm hoping that they'll follow the same theme as the others
Maybe we'll add a poll for the best set once we get a few entries?
Note that these are copies of the flight mode, but have the proper naming for the IR function.

Ping!
Any takers? I'm hoping someone can draw up a set before 3.9 goes up - which is any day. We can alway revisit the final set later.
Please - someone save me the embarrasment of doing this myself!

Here's my attempt - please, please - someone do a better job

matt do you want it like that or kind off like a 3D? I'll be glad to do that for you. I'm not familiar with the *.png files though. Give me specs that your looking for (e.g. size and color).

Just follow the image format as they are now - I'm not exactly sure of the details. Paint edits them just fine, but I'm sure any mainstream graphics app can handle them.
I'd suggest following the same image format as the rest of the buttons, and if you really wanted to get crazy, redo the entire dialpad!
Thanks!

I think the shades of gray is different for all buttons. the flight mode gray is different than the beam gray. I suggest attaching the ringer button to use that as a background since the bottom two button gray should be a lot more similar than the flight mode gray.

Here you go matt I hope that's good enough

Here is my try.

and landscape

so the previous post has the symbol a little too high, so i lowered the symbol a bit. here they are zipped up.

Here you go with better version of Mendevil
Sorry for posting on 2 posts, as it only allows me to do 5 of max attachments.

I did replace the pics and it showed s blank fr some reason.... so that is why I asked, beside I named it same as activesync pics overwriting them. is that what you meant to overwrite the activesync pics...

pics have to named properly and what I did was cook my own rom after. It has to be labeled as below.
7_dis.png
7_dn.png
7_off.png
7_on.png
L_7_dis.png
L_7_dn.png
L_7_off.png
L_7_on.png
don't use 5, use 7.

thx, ill give it a go

My beam pictures and the ZIP/RAR file with the full package (both versions portrait/landscape).

Custom moving theme in boot

Take one of gif pictures, rename it in animated.gif copy, paste and replace in windows folder. Soft reset.
You can make your own gif to.

this is really great stuff thanks man! Keep them coming I am really glad someone did this at last!

I tried this on my Tilt with the stock ATT ROM and it did not work. Any prerequisites before trying this?

With WWE 1.56.405.5 works great my friend.

Bump/clarification: So, is the only way to get this to work is to entirely dump the AT&T ROM?

for the tilt, the default file for the startup animation is different from the tytn 2. i don't remember what the exact filename was. but what I did was save the .gif animation into my \windows directory on my tilt, then i used a reg editor. once you have the reg editor installed go to
hklm\software\htc\startupanimation\GIFFile
then edit the string to \windows\filenameofanimation.gif

sorry panosha, but this Image is defected, by me too!

Here you have

great work mate, you might se one of those animated theme in my next rom

The animation doesn't loop, Firefox only showed me the last frame even after refreshing....
however, in ImageReady it shows up right...
the animation is ~2.5 seconds long, probably works fine on the PPC, just not for viewing here

Just wanted to say EXCELLENT work. I love the animated graphics. Some are just pure a work of art.

Kaiser Boot Screen, Splash Animation, Splash Screen Complete Walkthrough on Vista

Hi i am new here, just got my kaiser and i wanted to customize my splash screen because i flashed a ROM. It took me like 2 days to search through this forum and did everything. I have to say that the information is quite scattered. i am sure a lot of the new guys will have the same problems.
So I decide to contribute my first post to the newbies like me.
BTW i use vista ultimate 64bit, windows mobile center. which seem like there are a lot of compatibility issues.
Okay, so first Boot Screen, Splash Animation and Splash Screen are 3 different things. the order come to the screen is : boot screen (default as "smart mobility" for HTC), then splash animation (default is animation for HTC or operator), then splash screen (default is windows mobile x.x)
Lets work backwards,
Splash Screen
Fairly easy, the image is in \windows\welcomehead.96.png, this folder is not visible on the phone browser on my computer but i can see it with my file explorer on the phone. I made a png and cut then paste it. then i found out the file cannot be replaced somehow (depends on ROM?).
so i looked around, it seems like there are 2 solutions: resco explorer or edit the registry, I have a registry editor so i picked that solution. first i changed my image name to welcome2008.png and uploaded to \windows\ . Then Edit \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN there are 2 image urls, not sure the difference, but i changed both to \windows\welcome2008.png,
soft reset! wala!!
Splash Animation
Took me a while. the animation is in \windows\animated.gif so I made a gif with flash. but the frame rate seems not right. then i realized the IE is bad in displaying gifs, it looks fine in firefox.
I uploaded to the the phone, cut and paste to \windows\, cannot be replaced the original file again. so i change the file name to animated2.gif, Edit \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HTC\STARTUPANIAMATION change the giffile to "\windows\animated2.gif"
soft reset! bingo!!
later on i also changed another field there called WavFile, so my startup has sound too... SO COOL!
more animation here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336174
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414418&highlight=splash
Boot Screen
Took me the longest, first look through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907&highlight=kaiser+splash
Download SplashTool, nb_image_converter, customRUU, and htc rom tool.
follow the instruction, i made a bmp and converted it into a nice splash.nb. ran the HTC rom tool, ERROR
error: File "htcrt.info" is CORRPTED. This is the license policy violation! Halting
checked the forum, seems like a lot of people have problem with HTC Rom Tool. so i flipped through google and somehow found this NBHUtil on this forum that also make rom. i attached it in this post.
run NBHUtil, choose Kaiser as device, pick splash.nb in Splash file, LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE DEFAULT... Build NBH. yay, finally got a splash.nbh,
now what??
Change the nbh name to "ruu_signed.nbh", run CustomRUU, similar steps as you are flashing the ROM
some nervous selections, a bit scared to turn my phone into a brick. but...
IT WORKED !!!
anyhow, hope this post can help some of the newbies.

You maybe are not using the search tools correctly there is a little thing called XDA-WiKi go there and there is all the information you will need. I could give you the link but then you won't learn how to find anything and tomorrow you'll be back asking someone how to change your boot sound. You know you can search GOOGLE and they will bring right back to XDA for what your looking for. You say you been looking for 2 days then your not digging in the right place or using the right tool. It took me 10 key strokes to get what your asking for. So I hope you take my advice you have set yourself up for a flame here by asking this kind of question. I have tried to help you but don't be surprised if you get flamed!

Thanks for your summary of this scattered information!

no problem

thanks junkmantis, i changed my animation. but when i tried to add the sound, i just got a really sharp noise instead of my sound effect. what did i do wrong?

Cheers dude, new here too and it's a;ways nice to read a 'summary' post.

still cannot get my splash sound to work, anyone knows the problem??
thanks in advance!!

Great post. Quick correction: the registry entry for the splash screen should be corrected
From:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN

thanks peterfnet for the correction,
kaiserbb001, i am not sure, maybe something to do with the wav format?? anyone else knows?

Use schap's new Advanced Config 3.0 and check to see if animation is enabled. Also, the .wav file must be in \Windows. You can also use Schap's Advanced Config 3.0 to browse and choose the .wav file that you want to use.

Did all of this great the only problem I have is that my initial boot screen shows and then it stays on there until windows loads so its not showing welcomehead at all anymore, same goes for if I turn the animated splash on it will just show where the animation stopped until windows loads and totally bypasses the welcomehead.

Hope this will get you in the right direction!!

lol I have been searching this site using the search function as well as the wikis nothing so far has worked thanks for the help tho

Hello,
so I want to change my SplashAnimation. You say that I must change the RegistryEntry because the animated.gif is Read-Only.
But I cant find \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN
Do you have an other idea how I will be find the entry? Or do you have an idea how i can delete the Tick to ReadOnly?
Thx 4 Help

I've had my start wav sound do the same as yours ... and a "chipmunk" type fast sound play. I'm assuming the bitrate of my files isn't correct and I don't seem to be able to find the precise settings to create a wav to have it play properly. Can anyone supply this info please?

Use Advanced Config to set your sounds and animations or change the registry.

Looks nice

it looks lovely thanks

Very nice Alien44! Hope you don't mind but I shared this with the members on http://www.htc-pure.com/index.php since it looks so good ( with credit to you)! We don't get alot of posters or file uploaders so they need something fresh! If you want me to remove it just pop me a message and I will.

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget

CHT widget B&L_Group Animation Widget​
Description: New widget - Animation. The principle is simple folder put a bunch of equally-sized pictures (preferably not more than 20 and not horse-sized (enough for 100 * 100)) and in a certain place the widget you will see endless cartoon.
All images are stored in Program Files \ BL_Group_Animation, and have the template name BL_Group_AW_ (three-digit number with leading zeros pictures). Png. This means that if you have the first frame of his room in the name of the tether will be 001, but if the tenth is 010. Before replacing the images would recommend to disable the widget from the table, remove the old pictures, upload their pictures (their number may not coincide with mine), add the widget to the table with the will recount the images in the folder and will start your animation. In the CAB today is a dancing rabbit, the symbol 2011.
I want to note that the picture turns Manila and because a similar rate of gif files will not be able to achieve.
There is an opportunity to move, resize, and dock.
Compatible with other widgets.
Author: B & L_Group (MoonNah)

Now we're talkin!!!!
Another nice one.
This should get some creative juices flowing!!!

Wow^^ trying right now
.....mmmh I got massive problems with it I installed your cab to my device memory. But when I put it on my homescreen and soft reset like it suggested my homescreen was kind of destroyed. the taskbar and the old softkeybar is displayed ( the one with Phone and contacts) but the homescreen is black. I cant get to settings to deinstall it and not a single other thing. I cant remove it from the homescreen, because it seems my device isnt using CHT2 at the moment
would be glad if you could help me fast.
I cant really provide system information, because I cant get them to be displayed. The only thing I can say, is that I am using elegancia rom
Edit:
well got my homescreen back due to reinstalling and just softreseting after the deinstallation:
OS : 5.2.21916 (21916.5.0.95)
Manila : 2.5.20181424.0
Rom: Elegancia V 5.0 Final WWE
Radio 2.07.50.27_2

Hmm, working just fine here.
Thanks again for your efforts to get this out.

No problems here also.
Thanx for this nice widget, it's fun

Moonah, you are a madman
Is there a way of altering the frame speed? If so this could be really easily adapted to be a slideshow widget - just place images for slideshow in the folder, name correctly, set frame speed to 5 seconds or so and voila, digital slideshow

I use png files, and there is no compression plays a role, but why not see this question because this widget is easiest as ABC

might be something with the mode 9 file or the lua, or the xml file sry I dont know. the functionality might be simple, but i am way to stupid to solve this problem. I had an issue with poyensas typoclock too. but version 3 worked perfectly

Can you check in your registry and see which widget slot it is installing to (HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down to CHTI.AddonWidget.Slot...) If it is slot 10 and you have not applied the 20 slot widget fix then this might be your problem.
