So, I want to create a theme from startup animation to shutdown animation, as well as the wallpapers, icons, fonts, etc. I am working with an Imagio running stock Verizon TF3D 2.0 and WM6.5. I use HDWall for wallpapers and icons, KDFonts for all font related items.
BUT I want to create the splash startup and shutdown screens. I want to make a full Xbox 350 theme, and want to capture the startup swirl of the new Xbox dashboard.
Can anyone tell me how to do that? I have a friend who does a ton of video stuff, and another who is a microsoft computer genius, so they can get this going for me, but the video guy is not sure how to capture that. Any ideas?
Never mind, my video guy has informed me that he has allready pulled the video, and broke it down into its over 150 frames! next step is for GIF conversion!
Now, does anyone know where to get the sounds?!

I know currently that animated pics dont work on the android os, or does it? They have to to an extent for the face that the second boot pic is animated with the lil android dude or if u got 1.5 the android text. my old razr v2 didnt allow this either until someone was able to make a theme with a animated pic embedded as the bg. has anyone been looking into this.
Idk but this would be really nice to have though...
Animated Radar images on i.wund.com (weatherunderground.com's iPhone site) don't seem to work either.
This is a big deal for me since I am a frustrated wanna be meteorologist.

There are animated buttons in the calculator application. I'd would check that code to see what's making that work and see if there is anyway to make it work anywhere else... if there is a will, there will be a way.

Nice.
There is also an animated boot screen, guess it is a gif but I don't know...
um I know that theDUDE and im sure others have changed the ANDROID on cupcake... v1.5. One flashes across a different text and it has a fire effect through the letters... im sure their are some constraints at the moment...
but just thought id throw my 2 cents in.. maybe they had more luck

Dont quote me, but I think that those are just 2 .png files interlaced with each other. Any themer would know better though.
from what i can tell most of the themers that have changed it only changed the color of the background behind the android text. it is a simple .png that has a "shiny" section and it loops the entire image to the right. i am not sure what causes it to move, but i thought i saw someone used fireworks to create a new image. i am sure that if you get the source code from google you can have a look to see what is actually happening
I made the fire for the prodigal port and i changed the whole image for the boot i did for the Dude's Full 1.1a default i also made it faster. There are i cons in parts of the theme that can be made bigger and not affect the theme.
i think this is a deja vu post again. there must be an older one.
the basic answer is that the current widget can only display static images unless you extend it yourself.
I know that there are some wallpaper animations out there, I would like to thanks developers for their hard work.
However
all the animated wallpapers have things dropping.
it will be nice if there is more to it, like sony psp lines animation, or some of andriod type wallpapers.
and my idea is to have some sort of liquid in the background that respond to accelerometer moment.

As of yet, no-one has actually made a custom animation. The ones that come on the device are a bunch of PNG files and a script that controls them. The custom ones you've seen have basically been copies of them, but with different PNG files. No-one has actually made a custom animated wallpaper yet, which is why they all look the same.
Until someone figures out how they actually work, we're stuck with that I'm afraid.

Hey guys/girls,
Ages, I tell ya. Ages!
Been looking for realistic animated code wallpaper for my HD2 for so long now.
I know it must exist but I just can't find it, or at least a animated code wallpaper that doesn't look ghetto.
Can anyone help, point me in the right direction, or put one together? I'd pay for the latter to save myself plugging away online any longer.
Please and thanks!

No-one has yet discovered how to create animated wallpapers for the HD2 (or they've not told anyone, if they have!)
The ones that you have seens have simply been the stock animated wallpapers with the images changes. The actual movement has been exactly the same. Someone did one that they called a "matrix style" wallpaper, but it unfortunately looked nothing like the matrix rain.
Until we know how to code the animated wallpapers, you're not going to get this unless you use a UI that allows animated gifs as wallpaper.
I would love a full sized animated wallpaper. I must say I love wallpaper. I really dont like all the icons on the HD2. I use Spb Shell and keep the main screen free of icons. It's just like Android.
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. )

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.
