Gif Editor for Laptop - Off-topic

Hi Guys,
Can anyone suggest a free gif editor for win xp pro? I want to edit gif files from the internet to a more suitable size for use on here and in other apps?
The gifs i will be editing arent big complex ones, but small and simple so im not after paint shop or anything
Any suggestions on a free one? Been through google and seen many many programs that say "free" but you know what its like!! (free for a time...)
So im open to ideas?

By GIFs, do you mean animated or stationary? Because if it's just stationary .gif files, then GIMP, or even Windows Paint should suffice. It is a free, open source program that is, although not as good as Photoshop, still pretty excellent for its price tag. Just make sure you download the Windows version and not the Linux version. However, if you wanted to edit animated GIFs, I think you have to pay, as I could not find a single program in google that does it for free. I ran into the same problem as you did, where a program would say FREE!!! and then turn out to be a trial.
Dave

lol nice one Mike
Thanks for the advice, very useful!

I use
gimp for stuff like people would use photoshop
I use
paint.net for less complex stuff
I use
irfanview for simple edit like size and colours and such and viewing all my images
all which are free

I use gif animator, its not free like you asked but it is pretty fab. You can download a free trial of it, I think its for 30 days. x

yip, paint.net is pretty cool! cheers, and id forgotten about irfanview

Would someone here be willing to take my existing banner that I am using for my web page and turn it into a GIF animation for me ? i would be willing to send a few cold ones your way for your troubles..all I need is for the kart in the bannerp to be shown with the rear tires spinning with a little smoke coming off them , and then for it to take off across the banner from left to right , it would be a looping banner
let me know if you can be of help

Sweet....I am going to send you a pm with a link
the banner that I am currently using..
Thanks..

Thanks Mike, I just realized that I do not have any sideview or 3/4 view pictures of the kart itself, and no separate pic's of the kart itself , so i have to wait to hear from the guy who designed the art work first..
but once a again thank you....I will post back once I have everything that is needed..
You can go to www.OVKA.com and look at the very top and let me know, the image is 900px × 113px and 31.21 KB (31962 bytes) in size.
The kart under the OVKA is what i am talking about

Kireols clock pack - set 1 for HHC/HTC Home 11/17/2007

I wanted to make some new clock faces for HTC Home. These work with the HTC Home Customizer ( http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html ) but I imagine you could install them without that by hand, i dont know why you'd want to though.
There's quite a few hours of work here to get these just right. Comments will be appreciated.
There are 10 in this first pack. I plan on making a few more packs.
Most of these are black fonts with beveling to make them look nice.
EDIT: Removed max compression on zip for those that dont have bz2. zip now has normal compression
EDIT2: rar version here: http://rapidshare.com/files/70732473/Kireols_HHC_Clocks_pack_1.rar.html
screens 6-10
I'm having trouble opening the zip file (Vista).... is it just me?
i had compression turned on max by default on my zip. that might affect you. zip fixed in top post
I'm using XP. Something is jacked up with your zip file. I get this error with all files when using WinRAR to try to unzip it.
! C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.RETESTRAK\My Documents\KireolsClocks.zip: Unknown method in screenshot6.gif
EDIT: It's working ok now.
Thanks for the efforts
If you need a Star Trek font or a Flintstone font, I can look to see what I still have.
I like LCD-type fonts and solid fonts with drop shadows. Are these paks hard to make? I'd like to try my hand at them.
Have you tried to do weather images? What does it take to make those?

They arent hard but are time consuming! for each font you have to find a good font, load up an image program and edit each individual number and symbol and make sure they are positioned correctly, the load to phone and test. I'd say each font is roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour for me. I havent tried anything but clocks yet. However I may in the future as everything is just an image file.
These are very nice, I like the claw and the German black the best, the only trouble is I cant use them because I have my tilt completely blacked out. But if you ever decided to change them to say...........red, then we would be in business. Thanks they look great!
good job they look nice i'll be adding one of them shortly.
Nice work! Not exactly my cup of tea, but I applaud you!
is it just me, or is there no zero in the claw group? the zero image looks the same as the one. sorry if someone has already mentioned this.
edit: also seems that the eight looks like a zero
kireol claw missing characters

I noticed the same thing here. I'm actually quite surprised that this has been out so long and only had one comment about the missing / malformed characters in this font. The claw happens to be my favorite of this group, but I can't use it if it doesn't display the right characters. I went sifting through the files to see if something was just mixed around and was disheartened to see that there was nothing I could fix from this end. Kireol: please distribute a new version of the claw font with all characters.
There was also a mention of different colors - yeah, count me in for that one too.

i think it would be best if you could post the files here so as to help others immediately and give them instructions on how to go about making their XDA pretend to be iphone, or have iphone-like interface.
by the way, iphone like keyboard = PocketCM keyboard, use Iphone layout and skin.

here are the additional files
pcmkeyboard-> iphone keyboard
custome iphone icons-> additional iphone icons. i can't uploaded when it was in .rar so I just added .zip, i just renamed instead of re-compressing it. so just rename and remove .zip before you extract. for additional icons, you can just google it or create your own. I have another file which iphone_en, i think this file was for the phone interface but it's 2mb so i can't uploaded.
The first file i uploaded which was last fiel in the first post, the iphone classic is supposed to be iphone_en, anyway just check it out.
in behalf of those people who downloaded, THANK YOU, im still sticking to my my modified RL Today, SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Pocket Plus for my today.
hey folks, how about some screen shots on how IPHONE your XDA now is. i seen about 20 downloads on the average, so screenshots anyone?
Danke schön.

I really wanted to post screens shot even before I uploaded the files but I find it troublesome, if you don't mind, give me your emails and I'll send you a video demo instead...
Can somebody please tell me where to put the files for
- Gslide
- Icontacts
- S2p
I extracted them but im not sure what to do with them, i have used a readme for other files and they explained where to put them, but these dont say where to place/paste to.
Help would be appreciated
Where to put
Actually you can just put them anywhere but I suggest you extract them to your memory card. after that, just click on the executable file. Probably you were expecting that a link will be created on you group of programs but it But I guess it does not so you just have to create a link for that and place it in wherever you want to access it.

Save some Christmas $$$ Barcode Scanning [App]

Initially accidently posted this in the Diamond forum...
Happy Holidays.
After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close
__________________
looks sweet will try it out in 30 mins @ lunch time!!!
Barcorama
I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"
EDIT: works well. i zapped every item on my desk at work and it found them all.

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.
mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run
does anybody have an idea of why its not working
Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.
still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program
is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??
yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.
Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....
To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.
James
More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.
I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.

Web browsers & Image size on TD2 screen

Hmm, I guess this is my first post. And I'm not even sure if it's the right forum for it, though considering the issue comes from the huge screen resolution from the TD2, it may be the correct forum.
Anyway, I love my TD2. It's my first smartphone and even though it cost me €405, I don't regret buying it.
I'm using it a lot for my studies though, and I like using the wikipedia/wapedia.mobi. Thing is that Opera apparently doesn't manage very well image size when he resize the page with the mobile view; I'm getting images bigger than what they should be and much more pixelised; therefore when I browse mathematics related pages, I have to scroll horizontally to view the whole formula... which isn't really practical. The same happens with IE, plus the browser being unpractical.
Anyway, would you know any way to reduce for example all images in a page by 25 or 50% in a mobile browser (if you know one that can do it, it would be great)?
It would be too bothersome to download the pages on my computer and manually resize images and correct the html tags
Thanks in advance,
lnky
This has been irretating me too. Also, I think that the font size often i way too big even when I zoom out as much as possible. But I guess there is no easy fix for this.
I've been checking the opera configuration file, though I'm not sure if the "scale" or "skin scale" or even the "Image.css" work :/ I've tried various settings...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512256&page=2
I have no idea what you mean by this. Could you give me a URL to see on my phone what you are talking about. Opera for my has sized all pages like they do on my laptop. No pictures have been pixelized ever except when I zoom in all the way.
i like Opera but on a WVGA screen give Iris a shot- it's a simple browser and it's good for sizing. torchmobile.com free- and it uses the iphones webkit engine so everything has that iPhoney feel

Me neither. Could it be that the websites mentioned have mobile-specific CSS styles that would cause the pixellation you mention?

A small collection of the Game Icons:
Cheers,
Arnold
Donations received:
2 suggestions:
- maybe change the battery icon, i dont think it fits in quite well with all the other images for the theme (maybe a power plant or something )
- move the update button for the weather at the bottom. i believe it would be better that way, because i suppose most of us would like to see todays weather first of all and then anything else..
good job, i like it a lot!
Looks very nice, a new concept.
In games hub may be you can import all those games present in games folder.
And in application hub is it possible for u to introduce a carosel, need programming i think.
thank you guys, I now changed the battery icon (see start post), I couldn't find a proper picture at first, now i found a nice nuclear explosition....seems to be enough energy comes free by that for running your phone for the next couple of centuries.
I wil be out now and back tomorrow, so I will reply, but not sooner than tomorrow.
Cheers,
Arnold
looks amazing
thanks, I will finish it soon ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold
hehe i see your using the samsung player. Theme looks good, i don't see how all the tabs work together yet. I guess i have to wait for release and try it out. Keep it up.
Really nice poll, please upload a video!!
what device is this for? very promising
really like the weather concept
Excellent as always, nice work
A new UI... damn, you are so productive...
Don't stop... wait for video demo...
Good job !
thank you all for the replies and the nice words!
I have an idea now for the games section which I will work out today, quite a few hours of photoshopping, but if it turns out the way it is in my head it will be quite good. Wife is at work and with 2 kids around I wonder if I can finish that today.
Than I have to work out the application layout which also will cost time.
When I finished all the graphics, I have to put in all the information in the theme and after that making a video. As you can see, it take some time to finish it, but the longer it takes, the better it will be
The only thing is I am out of the trial time with the converter to flv, so I am not sure yet I can upload the video to youtube. But I will try hard to find something.
Let's do some serious Google imaging and photoshopping now to get on with it;-) When a new section is done I will add the looks of it in the startpost by placing a new overview picture.
Keep posted.
Cheers,
Arnold
Games wallpaper finished. Quite happy with it the way it is.
Updated in Post one. Now making for each section icons for the most common games in each catagory. That will take some time.
EDIT: Also Applications first page is ready. At Personal Favorites you switch to a page where you can add your favorite programms to it.
Cheers,
Arnold
do you have any other examples of your work o/t
on topic
wow on a touch hd2...awesome
do you plan on giving users a lock screen
This is my first complete theme, however I made a lot of icons ans wallpapers before for the WP7 themes which are around here on XDA.
If people want I can make a lockscreen as first page as well.
I don't know how many want it, so I will start a poll ;-))))
Cheers,
Arnold
a lockscreen like wp7 (slide up in wad) would be stellar actually
okay, thanks for your input.
Forgot totally the calendar into this theme, so I changed Twitter to Calendar as you can see in first post.
Cheers,
Arnold
