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.

I took a screenshot of the video, did some quick photoshop editing to remove the icons and make a picture that I can use to search for similar ones using google. It worked, I found this one.
I don't know who made it, but credit goes to them..

If you want a more direct download. Try this link: http://downloads.xdesktopwallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LED Light In Hand.jpg
Right click and save.

Ahh nice much appreciated man!

Screenshot annotation app

When you take a screenshot, you're taken to a little app that allows you to annotate and share/save/discard your screenshot. Pretty handy.
What is this app, and how can I access it without taking a screenshot? For example, I'd like to be able to launch it from the gallery to mark up a photo, but the only option seems to be PS touch (which has terrible palm rejection), or Skitch (ditto).
Clearly the app exists... so why can't I use it whenever I want?

It's wierd the way screenshots are managed. If you take a screenshot using the soft key it goes directly to the gallery and skips the editing tool you're describing. Choosing edit from the menu in the gallery sends it to PS. If you take a screenshot with the pen the sceenshot appears along with the annotation and editing tools. But that's your only chance to edit it without having to send it to another app. Why it works that way is a good question.

I have discovered that if you long press on the soft key, it also goes to the editing tool.
Also not ideal but is a workaround due to us not being able to bring up the editing app at will; what you can do is take a screen shot of the picture that you want to annotate and then carry out any necessary edits you wish to do on the picture . The original picture can then be deleted if it is not required.

Did nother know that one. Thanks.

wow I also so wish this could be implemented.
Does anyone know of a good app in the store that could also do this? a simple clean app with annotation features that could be opened from gallery.
hopefully one of those awesome dev guys finds a way of extracting it somehow.

So found a new app, which is very good looking and almost perfect.

I have a follow-up question here. I am new to Note 10.1, and my device is on JellyBean 4.1.2, the latest USA OTA update, WiFi-only.
My problem is that after taking a screenshot with S Pen and annotating it, there is NO direct "Share" button on the screen. The only option seems to be Cancel or Done at the upper-right corner, with Done saves to folder in the Gallery, so I have to again go into Gallery again and share from there in order to shared the annotated screenshot.
I saw a video taken on Note II phone that there is a Share button at the bottom of the annotation screen, and press it would save the editing and bring up the normal share list of application.
Am I missing something here?
thanks,

[Q] Create a wallpaper from an icon

I would like to use as a wallpaper this icon :
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=548477convapplicationlaunchermms.png
Is there some software to do that ?

Can you not just save the file and convert to jpg if required?

Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.

But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel

up

not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

I want to use the picture as a wallpaper. But I can't find the wallpaper that's why I would like to know if I can take the icon and transform it in wallpaper with no pixels.

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:
(Argh, still no outside links, so the link looks like this

Hope you like this one just as much!

I can't open the link but I understand what you mean. I just hoped that maybe a software manages to do that. I give up !

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...

Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help

Hi,
Does your app keep the original Exif metadata? especially the geo-location metadata.
This is the main reason why I haven't used any of the other "#square"-like apps.

I've been looking for something like this! This is great. Thanks!

simple easy
i used to doing this using photoshop touch, but now it just make it easier to do it.. thanks.. :laugh:

Can't use on HTC One X
It's always a black screen.

Works really good, but I can't seem to use it for panorama shots.
I've tried a lot of apps, none of which let me use panorama shots and still this one is the one I like the best, thank you!

Genious
I never thought I would love letterbox. Great idea and execution!
