the closest youll come to that is by making a bootanimation out of your photos and just switching out the images you wanna use every so often

Gimp has a "basic" animate function. I personally have never used it, but I'm sure it's possible... Gonna be pretty time consuming, but well worth it...

easier way of making bootscreen??

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.

Patched 3D Gallery APK

****EDIT****
I found it after a little more digging! Sorry about the premature post. For anyone else interested, I have attached the APK.
why didnt it install?
Thanks for the quick response dude. I posted a little earlier than I should have...im just impatient.
Why didn't it install?
Click to expand...

Im not sure, it just said install unsuccessful. I didn't try the one you posted above, since I had already found and installed one on my own.
The one I attached installed fine. Of course, its slower than the HTC gallery, but for some reason i prefer it.
It works! nice! thanks

How has this been modified?
The best difference is this one syncs with your Picasa web albums. It also looks alot nicer than the stock photo album but does load slower. I use it because Ive got about 8000 pictures organized on Picasa and Id rather not use memory card space for them.
I believe this one is the modded vanilla android 3d gallery with the resolution cap fixed and it loads faster.
Write this its great! Never knew about the picasa sync. Anyway to show only pics from camera? Right now it shows all pictures on phone. Thanks!

place a period in front of the folder that has pictures you want to hide. For example if you have a folder on your sd card titled pictures rename it to .pictures and it'll be hidden from the gallery. Keep in mind youll have to use astro or estrong to view those images again

I think its the same one. I was simply looking for the APK. Once found it, I edited the thread and posted it for those that were interested.
does this one allow you to share to "messaging" on sense roms?
It does with handcent
This gallery is force closing like crazy on my Evo. Anyone else experience this?
Does this really load faster. I love the look of the 3d gallery but it loads painfully slow, especially when opening a picture from when you go through a file explorer or an email.

[APP][Beta] Multitouch XDA-LiveWallpaper(first ever?)

Just want to share from 3vo section but not stereoscopic yet, so it should run on your Android phone.
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29056691#post29056691 (you are also welcome without 3vo)
latest version:
Update 4 (26.07.12) :
LSD-Wallpaper V4 XDA-Version V3! Resize and own Pictures.
Wallpaper should work on any display resolution.
-Options are working. -
-3 build in images or load own picture. Picture will be resized on load. Transparent png working.
-You can toggle waves on or off now..
Wallpaper is funny with own pictures of peoples and faces.
Issues:
If you want to use options to load own foto.png or own foto.jpg there must be the files foto.png or foto.jpg direct on sdcard, else it will forceClose. Will add a album selection with cropping there.
If you toggle waves on or off it will load xda image, so you have to select the picture you want again after toggling waves.

same here, i think it will work but resolution is so much diffrent from 3vo it will be very uncentered.
But just try, code is not so far from perfect(pretty clean and short) and I could not imagin how this could harm a phone. I will fix all sizes soon.
its just something like(original):
" ...float distance = (float) Math.sqrt((d.x-tpx)*(d.x-tpx) + (d.y-tpy)*(d.y-tpy));
float D=0.001f*f*(m/distance);o.z+=D*(tpx-d.x);d.z+=D*(tpy-d.y);}//}else{o.z-=D*(tp.x-d.x);d.z-=D*(tp.y-d.y);
} o.z+= wfx; wfx+=(float)( (Math.floor( Math.random()*2)*.01)-(Math.floor( Math.random()*2)*.01));
d.z+= wfx; wfx*=.99; o.z*=.95f;d.z*=.95f;d.x+=o.z;d.y+=d.z...; "

lol I am thinking about com.lsdpipe.lsdlifewallpaper.lsdvibrate but that would be even to strange for a com.lsdpipe.lsdlifewallpaper or would someone like to be lsd.shaked by those com.lsdpipe.lsdlifewallpaper.lsdflashes.lsdshakes? I think you are not ready.
Drugs can destroy life but .com.lsdpipe is a harmless substituting if you are to unflashed. But I realy dont want to substitute drugs in any way.
Works well. But i feel it needs something else....
Probably needs a few bottles of beer. Gonna get some and stare at my screen for a bit. Brb

Where to find a pic that is saved as a wallpaper?

Hi I am trying to retrieve a photo that has been saved as a wallpaper on my gfs Samsung Galaxy gt 15500.
When the photo was taken it was saved to the sd card but as some stage the sd card got corrupted and as far as I know she got rid of it.
She needs a new phone but refuses to do so without the picture (its very personal and cannot be recreated). Is there anyway of getting it?. I have rooted the phone and when into data via AstroFileManager but I cant find it anywhere.
I have also tried Wallpaper Set & Save but it is not compatible with 2.2.
Any help is appreciated as my life wont be worth living if I cant get the pic
Thanks
I have an idea
Use go launcher, hide the dock, hide all icons, hide the status bar and then take a screenshot!!!!

Thank you so much QuantumFoam.
Ill try it out later on her phone. If all goes well it means I have that important picture for her and I get a new phone to play around with.
I rooted it, updated the firmware and flashed a new kernel already and the thing is flying........let the flashing of the rom commence!!!

Big thumbs down on that.
Downloaded and installed go launcher ex. It immediately changed the background to some stock picture of the sky.
I changed back to my original launcher and the picture that I was trying to save is gone. This is not good.
The photo still remains as a contact pic, but yet again I cannot find anywhere its saved. Its as if its in a cache somewhere.
Does anybody have any ideas? (I didnt want to get into detail but the picture is of somebody who passed away and is very important to my gf)
You didn't mention that it's as a contact pic
There's a way to see your contacts on Google
Open Google on your computer, go to the more tab and click Even more. There should be contacts there

[MOD REQUEST] SecMMS.apk

Alright well sprints latest OTA has the SecMMS.apk that does not show single pictures as slideshows, but instead shows them normally. Well i tried pulling the apk and using it on the verizon s3 but it didn't work I put in system/app and alas nothing worked. So im requesting that somebody edit it/mod it/whatever needs to be done, to make it work on our S3's
I attached the zip file that has the SecMMS.apk in it as well as the odex file, i would like it to work on deodexed stock roms
and here's the framework-res.apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6et6bqelqj0ed8/framework-res.apk
Thanks in advance!
Bump, anything anybody?
For me it only shows as a slideshow if text is included. Otherwise it just pulls up as a normal pic. Are you sure the sprint mms app behaves differently?

I would assume you have to be rooted since it will most likely have to be pushed to your system apps, i tried pushing it there but it wouldn't work.
As far as the one click root, if you aren't flashing any kind of system img then you should keep your data, but i always assume that ill be losing my data when rooting.

Interestingly I can only save pics that are part of the slideshow presentation by pausing then hitting menu > save attachment. On the regular image view the only option is Set picture as. However, from the message list view I can long press both types (those with text and without) and the option to save attachment is there.

You will also need at least framework-res.apk from the most recent Sprint stock image in order to properly decompile this apk.
