I notice the Leo comes with three animated wallpapers, none of which I'm too fond of. Are there anymore available, either from HTC themselves or made by people on here/elsewhere?
Cheers.
So there are none?
Pagnell,
I have just done a quick search myself on XDA to find animated wallpapers. Took me all of 5 seconds to find several threads on this.
Look for yourself by searching for animated wallpaper...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

Lol Wacky.banana do you have that response as your signature now or something? oh dear oh dear

Yeah, did you bother looking at any of the search results? Looks like a bunch of stuff on S2U2 backgrounds, and a couple of other threads asking the same question.
He is not looking for animated wallpapers for s2u2, but for the stock htc sense.Has if any of you help with some.

Pity you didn't actually read what I was asking about and, more importantly, check the search results you say you received. You might have then realised your patronizing attitude is somewhat misplaced.
I'm doubting that wacky banana will bother responding to any of our comments at this point.

Yes....it's really sad when people use that kind of condescending attitude when they don't even bother to read the question properly in the first place.

So far I have only seen one with a christmassy snowflake animation, but that one replaces one of the default animated wallpapers.
So it looks like there aren't any for now.
Do us a favour guys. Wacky.banana made 1 comment, but you lot have contaminated this thread by slating him. I'm waiting for real input on this problem, but keep getting updates because one of you has slagged him off.
He made a mistake, and it's been pointed out.
Can we try and get this thread back on topic please?
Edit:
Apologies kenkiller - you posted as I was typing. Thanks mate
So, anyone found any animated wallpapers yet?
+1 here, would be really interested to know
Not really! I havent not found any, and I have been searching for a good one too...
Are the animated wallpapers special somehow? Or can we just throw together an old school animated gif?

Nope. you can't. Now that the bickering has stopped, i may have what you're looking for. Keep in mind that all I did was to collect these all in one place, i changed some of the names to reflect the name of the person who actually did it. I did find these here at xda, but it took a lot of hours and some serious thinking for new terms for the searches. Any time I find a new one I will add to this thread at ppcgeeks.

Hi Thanks for the link,
Is there any animated wallpaper which depends on the system time.
Wallpaper should change like shining sun in the day time and something like a moon with starts in the night time.....

Thanks a lot for the links, much appreciated!
Any pointers on how I'd go about making my own?
Has anyone tried them yet? I'm just about to.. Will post comments later.
OK, I'm with Leo and only one (CMYLXGOs.NRGXMas.M2.5.Animated.Wallpaper.cab) of the wallpapers worked for me. Now I have 2 cabs in my installed programs list that I can't remove, and one of my original wallpapers is screwed.
Look for that or something like it. I want a purple out custom them for my hero icons and app themed would be sick. Much appreciated in advance if anyone can help.
we'll get right on it after we delete this unnecessary/misplaced thread.

Try searching for the thing that you want via Google, Search in Forum, Search in Thread, etc., and if you cannot find it after much searching, then try learning to do it. Asking someone else to do it for you lacks tact and appreciation for those who do put in the effort to make themes.

The proper thread for this Hero CDMA Themes and Apps. While his comment was rudely phrased, it should be noted that improper placement of threads leads to both (a) cluttering of the thread, preventing people from accessing the correctly placed information they are searching for, and (b) the question not being answered because the people that would answer that question aren't looking at threads in locations other than applicable ones.
Just wondering if anyone else agrees that it might be good if there was a sub-forum here for CHT related mods/widgets/themes etc?
Would make hunting them down and organising them a little cleaner I think?
yes i agree

all the CHT mods, widgets and icons on one page

You could make a new thread and make 3 diff posts for the above mentioned topics,..... but make sure that the person who makes this keeps the thread and the original posts well updated....

Yah, and make it a sticky.
Hmmm anyone have lots of free time and a willingness to do that?
Either way - a centralised sticky post, or a sub-forum - would make CHT widget hunting/browsing a lot easier!
Really would be much better if it would be a collection.

great idea!

Yesss you have my vote much needed
there is a cht artwork thread in the wm themes and apps section....
Poll now up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856105
Please vote!
I dont think that a "collection Thread" would be good, because there are always people that need help with certain things and if everything from many developers and designers is mixed in one thread, there is no way of helping those people very well.
I am not against the idea of a subforum, but well....I would say, that it is not THAT hard finding stuff for cht2 and most of the threads clearly tell whats inside.
In my opinion we should just leave it as it is. there are mainly 10-15 pages that you really would have to browse through to get all the chtv2 stuff and if you ask in the post your today screen-Thread you will be helped instantly^^
U have my vote. I agree with a sub-forum. Perhaps it's not necessary right now but it will be... because I know that this sense mod will be growing and growing.
mike2nl started already some time ago a thread for such things.

What about the LG UI is it you guys want? I haven't seen anything unique or special. Acer's Liquid? I see the interest. Certain aspects of Touchwiz 4.0? Ok I understand. The is kinda like asking people to port Motoblur though
Also, I don't want to be "Mr. wanna-be-mod", but there seems to be a general misunderstanding in the Themes and Apps section about this. Questions go in Q&A EVEN IF it's a question about a theme or app. Not attacking the OP personally, as I truely think its a misunderstanding of proper placement of threads. People just have a harder time finding themes or apps of interest when they all get pushed down by a lot of question threads.

I also think many avoid the QA section simply because the XDA app does not list it as a valid section. I only see the General, Themes, and Android sections on my XDA app which is why I posted my recent question under General so I can see the responses without having to be in front of my computer or jumping onto the browser and spending the next 5 mins cursing the screen not adjusting how I want it so I can see it.

In an attempt to not step on the lawn, I am going to try and make my first post useful to other noobs, regardless of my own ability level.
I see that others have made a "my first phone" thread in other sections using search, and I did not notice one in this forum yet. I don't know if this post will make it past muster or not, or if it will be the same as other kinds of posts, but the way I see it, it would be rad if I came to xda/htc/attonex and found a post identical to this one, that had started a couple months ago. Alas, time travel isn't available.
My problem is that I am literally experiencing this phone as my first smartphone ever, and I am too ignorant to even know what a good question is. So I find myself with a quandary. On the one hand, I am tech savvy enough to know that my phone is capable of more than at&t/htc wants to let on, and I know that there is this sea of people that know a lot about this stuff. On the other hand, I don't even know what phones can really do, why I would want it to do those things, or how to go about learning the smart and safe way to do those things without fear of "bricking" my new toy.
It's really daunting to look at this forum for a noob. I need some good info on android as well as good info on my phone, and just browsing the forum for the last few days has led me to more questions and more complex questions before I have the basics, and I feel like that's going to get me in trouble here.
If people could do the following in response to this post: point me in the right direction for informative posts/websites/forums/etc on android, specifically basic OS functionality & rooting basics for people who do not understand/use linux; point me to informative beginner oriented (not just reviews or w/e, but basics) posts/websites/forums/etc on the at&t1x, specifically anything that is not on the htc site or the at&t site, which is basically my understanding level right now; if i ask stupid questions about your thought-out posts in here and i totally miss your point, please be patient with me; point me to apps and app stores, I have only used the play store - I know there is more out there, but freaked out about viruses and stuff.
I know I'm asking for a lot of hand-holding, but I promise that after the movie we can make out if you want. I'm not stupid, but I am certainly ignorant about androids. HALP.
YouTube is you friend, there are some great walkthroughs on there. Along with read,read,read. Welcome to XDA, ENJOY your time here, you are off to a very advanced start, great phone choice along with grea first post...the force is strong with this one:thumbup:

You're still missing bradleyG's original point. If there are esoteric terms you don't understand, just Google them. This will help you out:
http://bit.ly/KSfCM7
Boom. That was easy.
Seriously, Google is your friend, as is the XDA search. You're not going to think of a question that hasn't already been answered at length on XDA. Maybe not for the One X, specifically, since the device is so new. But for general Android stuff, just doing a general search using the XDA function, of Googling will probably get you an answer within a few minutes. For that matter, just spend some time browsing through the General, and Q&A forums, and reading the threads that look of interest to you. In no time at all, you'll have some decent working knowledge. The learning curve may look intimidating from where you are. But don't worry, its really not that bad. Seriously, just a few hours of reading on XDA will probably put above the knowledge level of the majority of smartphone owners.
If you are truly stumped after searching and reading on your own, post a question in Q&A. But do your due diligence first. Simple reason for this is that the forum would become useless if it was clogged up by every single question that beginners think up.
And welcome to the club. The One X is a helluva first smartphone.

Ai ai ai. Thanks for the help dude, but my whole point is that I don't even know enough to know what kinds of questions I should be having. Once I get started, I can use forum searches and google well, so for specific questions I will need very little help. I'm just not coming up with any questions.
Picture me sitting there, staring at the phone, hoping it will do something, looking puzzled when it doesn't, and then start posting links.
I see what you're saying. What you are asking for is really too broad a topic to write a guide or anything like that. As a start, just try looking through the threads in the various forums. Development subforum has mods (modifications) and stuff along those lines. The Themes and Apps subforum will give you some ideas on some cool apps and widgets. You'll quickly get a good idea of what possibilities are out there. And trust me, plenty of specific questions will pop up in your mind soon enough.
Since you are brand new to the smartphone world, apps is a good place to start. Just Google around for best Android apps and see what interests you. Even the Play Store has some issues with malware and other malicious software. But these are usually less popular apps, made by shady software developers. If you read up on best apps at reputable websites like PCMag, Gizmodi, CNET, you shouldn't go wrong. The more popular, tried and true apps tend to be very safe. Lots of the best functionality of smartphones is through apps, so this is a good place to start.
My advice would be to use the device for a while, and see what it can do running stock before you think about rooting and other mods. Unless you are looking at specific mods (removing bloatware or adding back some of the things that AT&T removed like FM radio and flashlight) you probably shouldn't be considering root just yet.
Android Central is a good website with lots of information that you should find interesting if this is your first android device. They have put together a really good android dictionary which is found here: http://www.androidcentral.com/dictionary
They also run an android a to z series on their blog which has a ton of info and goes a little more in depth than just giving definitions.
Enjoy your phone, for a first smart phone you picked a serious winner! There are a few quarks (which are all outlined pretty well in this forum) but for the most part this phone is great.

Cant beat this advice. Read everything, assume your questions has already been asked. The more you read, the more questions you'll have and then the more reading you'll want to do to find the answers. This website is really a PHENOMENAL resource, but I find myself constantly googling terms/comments/procedures that I dont understand. I'm quite technologically inclined but relatively new to the android world and have only been using XDA for a couple months. However, I find myself mostly only posting on very topical threads. For the hardcore technical research and development, I prefer to sit back and just read about the amazing work that the developers are doing. Welcome!
I'll second what everyone else said. I was where you were a few months ago. Though I came from four years on iOS, I was an Android noob. I've been reading and browsing xda and other sites just trying to get my bearings. It's very intimidating at first, but you've just got to start somewhere. Start reading, trying to get the general gist of things before worrying about the exact terminology. Bit by bit things will start sounding familiar, and you'll have some context to start framing your searches. Really, they're not kidding about 99.99% of noob questions being already answered somewhere; you've just got to know the right way to ask.
Just be patient and don't give up. Three weeks into my One X ownership, I'm rooted and gradually getting some confidence in modding my phone. (I was an experienced iOS jailbreaker, but life is different over here in a lot of ways.)

This is exactly what I meant. There is no all powerful guide that will teach you everything you need to know. It takes time to learn all these things and only diligence will prove to give you what you need. I remember when I first got my g1 I didn't know anything. I started looking for mods/hacks I could do to it and stumbled upon xda. Then I found out about rooting so I looked up stuff about rooting like what are the benefits of it, the risks, and tutorials. Then one thing leads to another rooting leads to ROMs and kernels, kernels lead to overclocking, etc. You'll soon be an expert and have advice to give other people. The more you read, the better. But you will never get to a point where there is nothing new to be learned, you will eventually make a habit of looking up different things after you do it for so long. Just stick with it and you will get the hang of it.

Yes thank you for that, I know that apps are about my speed right now but my sights are set UP!! Hehe. I really was trying to figure out about the flashlight and FM radio already, but couldn't find a setting in the phone. Is that a root thing? I also hate bloat ware, even if i can disable it, i know MOG Radio & AT&T IdiotWare is there, just taking up space, and it bugs the hell out of me! I also want to do things like check out vanilla android so I can know what sense is, but i understand that requires a bootloader? Which I am reading about.. but that seems like some pretty advanced stuff.. I'll get there hopefully.

I think I may have come off more adversarial to you than I meant to.. I wasn't trying to minimize what you said.. Of course research is essential, and I plan to not bug you guys with stupid questions as much as possible.. I'm just trying to build a repository of reference for complete noobtards like me here in this thread so it's all in one place. When I have specific questions about terms and things I will of course employ due diligence before I bring that stuff to the community, but like I said, I'm not even there yet..
OK so I have a question that I tried to search for and came up with nil. Every so often, when I run this or that program, or sometimes on start up, some of my icons do one of two things: 1.) they lose the text under the icon, 2.) they lose the text under the icon and the icon turns into the generic android icon.
Wutdo?

I feel like a complete tard, but after searching and finding nothing, I can't figure out how to do what you're saying.

Is that just like the proper way to say restart the phone?
