For the Samsung Continuum, we are in desperate need of people who are good with designing and changing graphics and icons... Trailblazer has done most of the hard work in accessing/customizing the ticker, however neither he, nor I, have the graphic ability to make good looking graphics and/or icons... For those with Continuums, if you are interested in contributing, and gaining your 15 minutes of fame (okay, maybe not ), either send me a PM, or reply to this thread. We will ALWAYS give credit where credit is due!
On the other hand, if you want lame or none-existent icons/graphics, I can always call up Kolourpaint and throw something ugly together. But, trust me, you don't want to see that. Remember the old 8 bit Atari graphics? See, I thought so...
Ciao!
Hey Shadow, are there particular icons that you're looking for? I'd like to give it a shot, however there are probably many who are far more accomplished digitally. If you could give me an idea I'd be willing to post a couple here and you all can let me know how crummy they are ;-)
Peace,
Ray
Specifically, I have a couple ideas xD
For the first one, maybe a blue ring that would go around the WeatherBug Weather image on the ticker... As in, when you click the weather icon, it would clearly show that you areeee actually clicking it for once
Second idea, maybe a few small, colored dots that could be placed on the main ticker display... These Dots, which i could have say, for example, a small "M" for messaging, would launch Messaging when clicked... Preferably green, orange, and purple or whatever, then another blue one that i could set as the image when clicked....
Third, maybe a nice button to go on the main page that changes when clicked (just make two images) and maybe has "Continuum" or something catchy
More ideas to come:
Thank you Moon Shadow - MN for making this post for me!
graphic designer
well i used to work for a graphics design firm and clothing company a few years back. this weekend i could hook up my good old media pc and get it updated with the apps (adobe suite/paint) i could cook up a few things and will get back to a thread (ill post in this one for starts) feel free to pm me about it and throw ideas. havent been around lately (hands full taking my son cross state back to his mommas) but new ec07 is going pretty good for me. yall have been great to me.
thanks for everything
unpacked my media pc and yay no keyboard or mouse
and gotta format etc. pushing me back a day or so.
ps... do u think a moving .gif would work for softkey and ticker mods?

Dude, it would be miles better than my stick figures... Trust me. I don't have an artistic bone in my body.. I would do better turning my 7 year old daughter loose on creating the icons... She didn't get the artistic gene from me...

Hey, since Verizon and Samsung view us as red-headed-step-children (no offense meant to any red-heads out there ), it is up to use in the trenches with this orphaned phone to fix the problems with it.

Did the mouse eat the keyboard? Did the cat eat the mouse? (Okay, enough!)
AFAIK, the icons that are used within Android are PNG's not GIF's. I know you can't animate a PNG, so I think it may be a sequence. Trailblazer would be in a better position to answer that item.
Ciao!

There's a really great magicseaweed surf app for the iPhone. I was wondering if there was anything similar for the HD2 rather than just having to log onto the internet or bookmark a particular site.
Thanks
Rik
yeah a surf report app would be cool. but the one on the i-phone is on the i-phone and hence it sucks. plus how dare you speak of such rubbish phones on this forum. YAK..
yeah so anyone know of one
haha, yeah sorry I mentioned that other phone thingy.
You don't even surf spzero. lol.
This is like a total neccessity for me! Maybe we could design a snowboarding app...that would benefit both of us mate.
yeah but theres always nice snow at xscape & chill factor dude it would seam a bit pointless, lol tho we can go out for free now i might come over next week with my landrover and go drive us up some mountain for some sweet fresh powder.

But that's what the iPhone app is... pretty much anyways.
I thought it was a marvellous marketing swizz by Apple to rebrand internet shortcuts as "Apps"... sheez!
But that's by the by, the old Magicseaweed "app" (ahem) works fine for fashionably challenged phones too.
http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_home
If you want to avoid stepping thru' the location menu (Europe/UK&Ireland/England/etc) each time you browse, here's a tip.
To get a direct link to your surfspot,
Visit, http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_home
Drill down thru' the links to your spot
Look at the URL and make a note of your spot number (at the end of the URL)
In the URL replace the #_spot bit with forecast.php?id= instead
Save a bookmark for it
For example,
For the Bude report, the menu will take you to http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/#_spot6, change that to http://iphone.magicseaweed.com/forecast.php?id=6 and bookmark it.
HTH
Personally tho' I still prefer looking at the full webpage
(that's why I've got a 800x480 screen for, ain't it??)
Hey, thanks man. I must have been having a totally brain dead day that day when I actually did look at the link on the magic seaweed site. It is just a URL, not an app. I'm a total idiot.
So yeah I have saved my spot as a favourite that I can access straight from the HTC sense menu...one click and I am there. Perfect, now I can check on the fly. I seem to recall looking up the magicseaweed site on my phone and it not particularly behaving for me, that's why I made a thread asking for an app. This works fine.
Thanks mate. Now all I need is for my broken elbow to get better, then I can hit the waves. lol

Created a new thread as this one no longer is appropriate.
No designers up for it?
This would be cool
I am attempting it myself.. but I believe I lack the skills to ultimately create what I want. I will press on. If any designers still want to help me with this I would love to see what you can do.
hope some talented member can help you out but here's what I have.
Yeah that would be awesome as well. Maybe a model and Animated Render of that image in flight for a boot image. With Loading... as the text burning below.
I have to say this thread has well over a 1,000 views and no one has stepped up.. I am going to take matters in my own hands and attempt to create it myself. Time to get some 3D Rendering software and Photoshop booted up. If any Graphic artist or Themers want to help please pm me or respond to this thread. Thanks.

It probably has 1000 views cos it'd be cool to have and people want it versus capable people seeing it and walking away
Get a rip of one of the Xmen Phoenix episodes and do a framegrab

I just spent the better part of 5 hours working on a concept boot Animation for it... I will upload it to youtube in about 30 min and post the link for you to tell me what you think.
Delayed till tomorrow night. Turns out I made my pngs the wrong size and I have to redo all of them. Batch job underway.
I'd totally be into this, but like many here, I lack the knowledge to pull it off myself.... looking forward to hearing progress!
Update Tested a Upload to my phone and it looks good but Am going to resize the image to make it larger. right now it's about the size of the Normal nexus Logo on boot and I want a full screen effect. I am at work so I will try to get it done when I get home then I will Post the update.zip for those interested in flashing the Alpha Concept bootanimation. I am glad some of you are interested. Please take it easy on me as this is my first real attempt at anykind of graphic design.. I am impressed with myself for what I half already made and I already have had several ideas for improving what i will post later today.
P.S. In a effort to keep this thread Organized I am going to start editting the first post so keep and eye out today and tomorrow. I got 3 hours slept last need after working on teachign myself Photoshop and 3d Studio Max. =) If I actually get really efficient I am going to make many more Boot animations and possible help some of you with requested boot screens.
First Post Updated with Alpha Release - For some Reason the Video will not go full screen. I even used other boot animations as a reference and still can not get it to go full screen. This is a major frustration at this point anyone that can enlightenten me why? my images are currently in 512 by 800 resolution in PNG's Originally I made them 512 x 256.
I have updated the Animation again this time with the phoenix graphic loaded on it and text in which I believe would look better Animated. Give me your feedback. New files is Alpha 0.1.2. Let me know if you have any feedback.
Hi all,
I've nearly finished a project that has been about 4 months in the making. I'm not going to go into detail about what it does or what it's for, but there are 2 applications - 1 on the PC where you make "project" files, and one for your phone where you utilise these project files.
I need some graphics doing for both apps (icons and splash screens).
I'll obviously give anyone that's interested more information about the app, but anyone that's interested let me know and, if possible, link or attach some of your work on here.
I honestly believe that this app will be a BIG hit, as it does a nearly unlimited amount of things. It will also replace the CHTEditor.
Anyone that gets their artwork in it will obviously be mentioned in both the thread and the app, so it will earn us both kudos! Me for my app looking great, and you for showing off your skills.
Thanks all!
I can do the odd graphic thing, Im not particularly good but I would be willing to have a go if no one else wanted to (which is very unlikely)
tbh I just want to know when its being release

Sounds interesting
I might not be skilled enough to work on the project but would like to see what I can accomplish. I am not a photoshop person; Illustrator is more my thing. I am also interested in designing effective and efficient layouts (page, screen etc.).

Hello John
Good day my friend
Actually I am new here and I passed by bec I am waiting my new HTC HD2 within days & I've heard about CHT editor and passed by here and I love your effort.
Anyway I have an advertising agency and I am sure I could help you with some breathtaking designs logos icons and even promo videos if u want. You can check my agency here and see my portfolio www(dot)zendacorporate(dot)com
N.P: I'm a lil bit confused about how things works here, like posts, problems reporting and follow up on them, so plz provide ur help if I need it and I will promise to try to be smart enough to understand, but don’t worry till now, I understand what i will do with the cht editor and the cookie home tab.
Now i am waiting your directions about the designs.
thnx
joe
I'm looking for some theme-master to conquer this task preferably to run on 2.2 Sense ROMs. I previously saw someone doing a Batman/Fallout 3 theme. I'm willing to donate to the cause as well.
bumpity bump!
no takers?
How much are you donating?
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
I second this idea.
I'll donate $20.00 usd to the project.
I would throw down $10-15 on the project
Any takers? We can get a pool going right away
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
I doubt it's gonna happen. A lot of the people who are capable of doing so are seeking a large bounty for the task which I don't see happening.

This is very untrue, I made the batman theme and got nothing, I was doing it to help people out. I would look at this one but with the time I am spending on my Blue theme and the Batman theme I do not have time. A good theme takes hours and hours of work and this is more likely why no one has taken this on.
What kind of stuff are you looking for? I have never played Mass Effect but did watch my friend go through both 1 and 2, so I have seen the whole game.

Accept my apologies then. I suppose wallpaper, bootscreen, notification bar customization and perhaps some custom icons. As I stated previously, I would gladly donate to the cause if you decided (when the time comes) that you wish to take up the project.

Haha, I couldn't agree more
My Wife has been a professional photographer for about 7 years now. her birthday is coming up within the next 2 weeks. I have purchased her an Htc Sensation for her birthday.. I would like to have a custom rom made for her with photography as a main theme and really the purpose of the phone.. Ex.. a photograhpy style ui theme. Camera tweaks etc etc.. i am no dev so i do not know what can and cant be done.
If any dev is interested in this please feel free to pm me or leave a reply on this thread..
I will pay via pay pal when the project is completed.
Sincerely Kevin
one comes stock with the fone, check it under lockscreen, and get a live wall paper called "photogrid" and the phone will now display pics when locked and unlocked.
the stock camera is really good for a fone, but there is a mod to improve it vastly
...unless i completely missed the point, there is no need to waste your money with a request such as this

I would guess he wants this to be the equivalent of the audiophile rom for the galaxy s 4g
For the most part i'm interested in a theme. I am no photographer or have really any artistic ability.
I would like someone to create a Themed ui that is represenetive in a way Photographer feels about their passion.
Foto tile slideshow is a much better live wallpaper to use i find.. Displays multiple pictures at once from a few sources

thats a tall order right there, for the most part, when i capture my "passion" on a fone i do it myself, kinda pointless if someone else's interpretation of an idea you try to conceive comes through...more often than not, you wont be satisfied...
on top of that, i done think anyone will make this for you on such a short notice for that amount of money...your best bet is to pm a few themers in the themes and apps thread and cross your fingers.
other than that, im sure she will love the fact that you got her this fone, it has a great camera, and really, its the thought that counts when giving a gift ;P
