Hello to everyone,
I’m a newbie HTC HD2 owner, my phone is a Tmous leo original ROM 2.13.531.1(90963) WWE, Manilla 2.520121412.2 and I have these two custom images (240x320.gif).....
......and I tried to use them as an animated lockscreen wallpaper and doesn’t work, also I tried to use them as an animated home wallpaper and doesn’t work either.
I would greatly appreciate if someone is kind enough to help me make this work in my phone.
Thanks in advance.
first of all, do you used CHT? (Cookie Home Tab)
Secondly, till here I didn't saw a animated lock screams.

Hi kurt-willems,
Thank you for reply.
1st. No, I don't use CHT. (I wish to, but I can't for the moment)
2nd. I searched arround and I only saw an animated one for "U2S2" lockscreen, but I don't know if could be any for the original lockscreen.
3th. If I can't use any of them as a lockscreen, I'll be more than happy to use them as an animated wallpaper like the fish tank I'm using thanks to Whiskeybro and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619450
Also I resized my costum animated gifs from 240x320 to 432x576 size and now fix perfectly the phone screen, but no animation at all
Well, I hope someone could help me to get it work right.
Thank you for your help.
Hi, any idea?

You can't just resize an animated image in my experience. There's some "magic" that needs to be done to do it properly even though your image editing program seems to be doing it it only does it on one frame and only saves that frame.

Hi Airborne Aircrew,
Thanks for reply, well, I don't know to much about it, but my original costum images are 240x320 gif. files and as I said, I resized them to 432x576 like as shown now,
If you're interested in learning more about it, visit this http://www.animated-gifs.eu/animated-gifs.htm and I hope will be useful.

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
Hi all,
Here's a splash screen set I did for myself. The main download is "Welcome Splash.zip". This contains all the necessary files and instructions to install it to your device.
The second download is "Splash.zip". This is for advanced users only and is the Splash.nb file for cooking into a ROM.
10-10-08 - Source Graphics and Font files uploaded.
N.B. I'm not a designer, I didn't do the artwork, just the packaging.
Hope you enjoy!
andrew-in-woking
absolutely beautiful my friend
great work and keep it up
I like the look a lot! Very clean and modern-artsy-looking-kinda-thing.
You wouldn't happen to have the same screen without the Welcome/Loading, would you? I'd like to see about getting the HTC logo where it says Welcome, or something to that effect.
very nice
Really nice Bravo ! Downloading and installing now
Source Files
Hi all,
I'll upload the source files, as requested within the next 24 hours.
Happy splash screen flashing!
andrew-in-woking
nice! This'll be good for manila 2d vista theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2684727&postcount=1022
Nice. I wonder if this can be done with SD-card flashing?
Animated GIF
Hi all,
I've uploaded the image and font file I used to make the splash screens. If anybody could make an animated GIF with text fading in and/or out that would complete the set. I don't know how to do this.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking
Also for Elf ??
Hi, can I install this also on my Elf ??
Thanks.

I'm not sure if I didn't do something right here or not, but I still see the AT&T Globe icon in between your new screen, and the 3G woosh screen still runs. Is this normal? I do see your new welcome screen, but in between is the AT&T globe and then the 3G graphics. That's what i would like to eliminate...
Oh well, I will wait to see what everyone else has...
Thanks

Hi
The screen you are talking about is the HTC animation screen. This is the software HTC loads into its ROMs which displays "animated.gif" on start up. You should install schaps advanced config 3.3. In this program you have the option of disabling this part of the start up sequence.
Hope that helps

Hi wapvirus
Is it me or is the transition the wrong way round? Shouldn't it go from "Welcome" to "Loading" not the other way round?

Here you go
I tried to use the neue helvetica 35 thin font, but for some reason I could not get that installed on my Photoshop. So I am using another font.
Here is my version.
Right click on the first image(with just W) and save. This is the animated.gif file. The image(Welcome) is just a screen image.
I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

Edit: I can change the background color if someone wants.

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

Hi,
this is my very first contribution to this site. I've never posted anywhere here so I though it's time to start now.
So I have 2 weeks off from now and I am already bored. And since I just flashed a new ROM on my HTC HD2 I thought about making a theme for it featuring my favorite Touhou (a shooting game) character Reiuji Utsuho.
I am planning to change/make
Splashscreen
Animated Bootscreen
Welcome Screen
Wallpaper
Icons (maybe)
Bootsound
Analogclock (for use with Cookies Hometab)
Textmessage alert
Ringtone
Startbutton and taskbar
Since I am not allowed to link to stuff yet I just uploaded my current progress.
So far I made a animated bootscreen (which is too short so I'll redo it later)
and a Welcome screen.
I also made a test analog clock which works fine.
I just started making that theme today so I don't have any idea how to make a cab and stuff but I'll find that out soon enough...
I hope some people will like it to give me some motivation~
It's hard to time the bootscreen with the welcomescreen. The first ones I made were too short and I had a black screen between them. So I just made the bootscreen's last frame the welcomescreen.
Since I cannot upload a gif bigger than 800x480 nor can I link or embedd pictures from other sites yet, I just zipped and attached it to this post.
I hope that splashscreen is usable. I found that tool to convert it. But I need to find the tool to make it a flashable file.
The analog clock was just a test but it seems to work.
So I hope someone can tell me how to make a cab of all this when it's done~
Update 28.06.2010: Finished Splashscreen (the zip file conains a RUU_singned)
Update 28.06.2010: Added bootsound (the se_cat001.zip)
Update 28.06.2010: Finished wallpaper
good!
It seems nice and looking forward more great works~
Hoorah~!! Good luck. )

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.

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.
