Ok so im porting over some bootscreens and im using photoshop cs4. i was shown how to do this by a friend using layers and copying and pasting the png's into each layer. Im looking for an easier way of doing this cause there are over 300 png's to be put into layers. is there an easier way or not? If so then please post a link explaining how or explain yourself thanks
Download a program like PS called Gimp. You can open the a folder as layers. So as long as the are in saved in consecutive ending numbers ie 1, 2, 3 it will put them in the correct order and all you have to do is save it as an animation and you are good to go.

yeah i figured that out after i posted but im having a problem cause its over 300 png's and when i save it as an animation it doesnt show all the layers or the colors. its all in black and white and looks horrible.
Okay. Start fresh. Open all the pngs in Gimp. If you did anything other than crop in PS it will not play nice. And I hope you have lots of RAM. Make sure you saved as indexed and 256 colors.
Or post the gif and I will fix it.

I got it. So go ahead.
Do you have Google Talk logged in? [email protected] So, I can ask a question.
Is the one red png in the folder by itself the last frame?
I will work on this tomorrow at the office. My computer there has more RAM. My laptop just won't handle it.

Hey sorry got late and passes out. I do have Google talk. Under cbarlan. And yes that is final frame for loading.
if you're coming up black and white for the gif in gimp, you have to change it to rgb then save as animation, then it will ask to index the colors, and give you option of gray scale or color

Can I change it to rgb after gimp layers all the pngs or do I have to change each PNG before I layer them. Only asking cause there are a bunch of pngs. Like 330 of them.
you apply it once all layers are loaded. It does all at once. You can do this with color type, scaling size, and changing hue. Great for theming

Okay. Well, I finished your bootscreen. It's booting and playing. I will email you the zip. Let me know if any problems.

Looks pretty epic if I say so myself. I dont even care about the ending animaions, but the award bios bootup is pure winz.
this should be under the theming section
If you just want it as a bootscreen, I'll make a zip. Gimmie a few.
I lied. I can't get it to work...Could be cause I need sleep. Maybe someone else can or I'll try again later.

Ohh
Woww, that would be nice if we can get that to work on the Hero
I actually tried them out a few days ago, I'm not the best w/ graphics, but all someone has to do it resize the images and it will work. runs fine, just too big.
It's made for 2.1 roms. Follow the instructions in the thread it should just work. The guy says it was pulled from villain Rom which is a gsm hero Rom. If you're already running a 2.1 Rom and have problems rename the zip bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media using root explorer or push it through adb and reboot.
EDIT:
Got it working it's attached.
Push the GIF to /system/media/bootscreen/
I think I need to mess with the lenght still its begins to loop again.
Not sure hwo to fix that.
But I think that is what the Part 1 folder is for.
I renamed it dancing.gif before I pushed it so I wouldn't ahve to mess with the XML file, but you guys do what you will with it.
Works fine on my phone other than the Fresh boot music doesn't match and it begins to loop a second time LOL.

I looked at it and maybe I don't know enough about the boot screens, but I thought our Boot Images where animated GIFs. The zip he has here is a series of PNG's. I would be more than happy to play with it if someone can confirm this is how 2.1 boot screens work.

they work the same way, this is just another way to do it. If there is no /system/media/bootscreen folder, it defaults to using the bootanimation.zip
either way works.
I looked for the villain rom one, couldn't find it.

I can't make an update zip I am on my work PC. Probably get yelled at in a few for runing Gimp instead of PS. They like to spy. LOL
i'm making an update zip. hopefully it works.
edit. ok i have all pngs resized to 320x480 now trying to animate. 90+ images surprised not more really.
Moved to theming as this is not related to rom development.

Did you resize one by one? Gimp lets you open them all as layers and then resize all of them at once.
ok my pc is sucking it up. i have the 90 some individual images resized and everytime i go to save it photoshop just closes out so i have yet to make the gif.

no i made an action in photoshop and resized them all. i'm having problems trying to make the animation.
here's the right one
the first one doesn't loop, just reload or right click and view image

Sooo 90 images is a little much for PS to handle at once. I am not infront of mine right now BUT there should be an Import as Layers options some where. Gimp is "Open as Layers". When you take all 90 images in as layers each layer is a new frame of the animation.
Once they are all in one gif, then resize the whole gif instead of all of them individually. This will take the strain off PS.
Then on mine, the animation needed to be brought out a little bit longer.
You can either do this or just take my gif I posted a few posts above. It needs the timing played with though.
I have a feeling that even when it is set to Not Loop, the boot screen will loop it regardless. I distinctly remember telling it not to loop but it did any way. That or GIMP is jacked up.

Not sure what format they need to be in, but here is what appears to be the .psd template for those icons:

They need to be in png format. That file is used to make custom icons with photoshop I believe. Unfortunately I don't have a computer so.. i need the png files.
You all just didn't look hard enough. There is a directory for all of his icons. Took me all of half a minute to find.

The files can be edited in photoshop, the only layers visible should be the text that you want to see as the icon.
After you get them how you'd like, save them as PNG files and copy them to your SD card and you're good to go.
can somebody just turn them into .png n post them plz

How do you put these on the the launcher pro
Just wondering if someone is already working on changing the lockscreen sliders to a glossy black, moto sliders are fugly. I have seen many posts for people requesting this in other threads and being a noob to theming I have no idea where to start.
What is the name of the file that needs to be modified and in which .apk is it located? I might make this my first "theme" project if I find the file and if this has not already been done.
The sliders are part of framework. Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework and open the apk in any zip program like 7zip or WinRAR. Then look in the drawable-hdpi and drawable-land-hdpi folders and you should see the sliders. Then edit in Photoshop or something. Put back in framework-res.apk then push back to the phone and reboot.

Not that simple...they're .9.png's. if you just edit them in photoshop they'll mess things up and not turn out right.

nope.. when saved in photo editor it loses its .9 properties...
have to used draw9patch in android sdk to apply guides..
just decompile original apk with apktool or apkmanager to get the original showing you where the guides are located
I changed the colors of the sliders from the dark green whatever color to red using photoshop and they work fine.

You got lucky somehow. All .9's have a 1 pixel border that exist as guides to the OS of where to stretch and where to anchor the image. Changing the color can remove/alter these guides. Rarely can you just change the color of a .9 and expect it to work/appear as it should. I would look at the thread with the how to video for draw9patch if you want to edit the lock sliders or any other .9 image.
Thanks for the info.

Something like this?
BTW this if fully functional, drop it in your framework (rename it!) and push it. If its what you need let me know, ill finish the rest.
Black sliders
If you see page four ... Clear / cant see sliders
you might be able to use ninja morph to apply these, or you need to know how to add files to an apk and push back. These go in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
Dont add these to a decompiled apk! drop these straight into the apk with your perfered method.
Yeah that is what im looking for...if you wanna finish em that would be awesome!

I downloaded your theme and you successfully changed the color, but the slider doesnt slide. But it is still functional. Just doesnt actually show the bar sliding. This is where the .9.png comes into play
My current update.zip that's up right now? The sliders in that don't work? Every one else reports no problems. Could you be more specific.

I just decompiled my whole theme and checked the sliders. They are compiled and working correctly. Something might of went screwy on your install.

lol, nevermind. I was thinkin you did Froyo Dynomite. The slider doesnt slide in that one.
You can easily changed the color of the sliders. But you have to decompile first. If you just unzip the apk it loses the 9 patch info(see below). If you have a theme and the slider does not slide then this is the reason.

I'd love to see a Big Bang Theory boot animation with sound
So would i. But I'm not sure of the legal ramifications (copyrighted song and copyrighted tv show). Not sure if its possible, but let those more learned than i speak.
did some digging and found this file
xxx.megaupload.com/?d=7K6G40ZR
however i can't seem to get it to play on my phone. i changed the resolution in the desc.txt to 480 800 but i just get a black screen. anyway here are the files hopefully someone can make it work
I'll take this on tomorrow. No guarantees...but I usually don't stop til I get what I'm after
Looking at the one you provided - all the images are .jpg. I haven't done a boot animation in a while but if I recall they need to be .png, and have the naming scheme fast_boot_p_xx.png (where xx is a 2 digit number starting with 00 - in sequence). Like I said - I'll mess with it tomorrow...sleep is too precious to me. Besides, it's my birthday and I haven't even started drinking yet...
For the audio file and theand animation, rename them to bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 before doing anything else. Put the audio file in the same folder as your bootanimation. Make sure both have permissions set to RW R R .Here's the animation...working on my phone. Let me know if there's anything you'd change. Working on the audio now

For future reference, you could try mplayer/mencoder. It would save quite a few steps. I also use imagemagick's `convert' utility for batch image manipulation. Both of these have windows ports, but I haven't tried them on windows, only linux.

Thank you my good man. I'll try those out.
I had all the software I previously mentioned, but haven't made a boot animation since the last wipe of my computer. just a pain to find the stuff to do it again - but i'll give those a shot!
I used a prog called "Free Video to GIF Converter" (clever, right?) for the conversion, "Animated GIF Frame Extractor" for extracting, and iFranView for the rename/resizing

Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.
But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel
up
not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...
Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help
