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

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.

Doom on my kaiser!

and here it is!

hope you recognize the music, It's the songs that were used in doom, which were made into midi versions in the game.

nice. the playback looks smooth. do you know what frame rate you are getting?
and, where can I get that!?

Excellent! Didn't know that existed, I've downloaded and been playing it myself for the last hour. Controls take a bit of getting used to, but otherwise its ace!
For those searching for this game, search for gfdoom to get the program then doom1.wad for the maps.

hey Mikey! would you like to release your configuration files or are you using the default ones?

this game is tha bomb. first game I played on my first PC. imho doom2 wad is the best. I just love double barrel shotgun.
thx again
bro

Download link???
Settings???
Any more info to help the rest of us re live this timeless classic???

Is there an option to make it into landscape mode?

Giles! its nice to see you on the forum!

First off, I'd like to thank danits for showing me how to configure doom with the keyboard.
ok so to make it landscape you must go into options and toggle the quality from low and high. this wont really change the quality, it rotates the screen.
as far as configuring keys, check out the other doom thread I made in the Development and Hacking section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369438&page=2
there is a program you can use, that when you press a key, it gives you a code. this code is required for assigning keys in doom. see my examples in the other thread.
and here's my skin file, with keyboard support.
the controls are the same as all my other config's if you've used them.
and keep in mine ive made the windows key the button to flip the screen.

That is soo cool... thanks for the video =)

its really a shame the author never finished his last update. he came soo close, it was literally just a a couple days away, then he disappeared.
his updated WAS going to contain a much easier way to configure keys
proper keyboard support
MUSIC
improved peformance i think
he was also working on a zdoom port.
its too slow, but that would have been worked on too if he didnt disappear.

Where is the WAD
ANy one found where you can get a functional WAD file.
THe link to Jimmy software is either dead or just a front screen.

google.com

Ok after playing with it last night, it works, BUT
it does not work with gfDOOM Launcher.exe.
it gives me an "Doom Error"
You cannot -file with the shareware version.
register!
If I start from gfDOOM.exe it works but I can not get it to landscape mode
no matter what I do.

I dont know why is everyone makes this hard to get this game with all necessary files.

Careful. If you have posted a link to the full game its against the forum rules (it is warez).
I'd remove it if I were you.

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!!!

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.

kendons bootscreen v0.1

ok, born from the verbose bootscreen idea there was the fake verbose bootscreen idea, credit goes here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4912469
this is what i came up with in a quick session, i think there is much room for improvement. if anybody likes to contribute, i would be glad for creative support
apply the zip as update.zip, make a nandroid backup before just in case. to make it easier to revert i attached a zipfile with the original files in them to revert to original, one with the sounds activated, one silent.
please tell me what you think

Hello,
do you have any screenshot of the boot or video?

Just extract the gif files and open them in IE or firefox. They'll play the anim. Very funny

thats quite funny

Lol
You are completely cool!
Thank you for this Bootscreens.
Now, Hero Booting isn't pain anymore!

glad you liked it. stay tuned for next version, already working on a progress bar... won't be out before weekend i guess.
still looking for a fingerprint scanner animation.

Nice one Thou i kinda miss my androids popping up everywhere. Would it be cool if you had a Android face popping down from the top of the screen?

for now i found a way to edit the files in inkscape, one layer per frame, exporting them to .xcf keeping the layers, and then use gimp to convert to animated gif. works, but is a lot of footwork... but i guess as i am trying to make a rather "complex" (at least for a gif) animation it just is a lot of footwork...

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I dig your boot animation, and it's inspired me to make my own (OK, I'm just stealing the old "Cylon Eye" animation from the pre-release days.) Anyway, I've got the animation zip installed and working, however it seems like the phone is ignoring the frame delay. The animation seems to be going as fast as the phone can handle. So maybe there's a setting on the animated GIF that I'm not applying. Are there any specific settings you applied to your gifs?
Here's what I've got right now:
Code:
Interlace: No
GIF Comment: No
Loop Forever: Yes
Delay between frames where unspecified: 10ms
Frame disposal where unspecified: "I don't care" (other options are Combine and Replace)
Use Delay entered for all frames: Yes
Use Disposal entered for all frames: Yes
These settings are in GIMP. If you could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

set that value to a higher number, try 100ms. this specifies the general frame delay, you can set per-frame delays in the name of the frame. for example:
"Frame#1" is the layer name, make it
"Frame#1(500ms)" to make the delay half a second long.
(if that doesn't work try to google it, i am not 100% sure about the syntax)
would you mind sharing that animation you are talking about?
btw: work is still ongoing here, nuclear power now has a colored progress bar, but it is getting complicated handling 150+ layers in inkscape...

Yeah, I realized that my math was off with the delay, after noticing yours was 500ms. I'm going to try a couple other things to get it smoother as well. The stock boot animation has a small animated gif in the middle of the screen with a black background, so I imagine the phone can handle that easier than a full 480x320 animation, so that's my next step. I was actually just about to post my animation in a separate thread, so I'll link that post here when I've done that.
EDIT: My initial attempt is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583094
There's still work to be done, so don't judge me to hard!

Do you have any plans for a snes emulator too?

Will check this out. Thanks!

Working fine here, hope you will be able to fix sound too =)

On my Trophy, I do notice a significant speed improvement when I select the "Faster screen" option. What does this do differently? Is there any downside to using this option?

Very Nice.
But maybe you could add a description how to add Games, as it took me a while to figure out what to do (I guess I'm not the only one)

Error
Hi!
I get this error when trying to add an .xml....
Can't load the game list! The remote server returned an error: NotFound
Could you please do a step by step tutorial on how to do the gamelist... and explain what is the "URI" you need to enter into warios jewels settings?
Thanks for your time!

http://gamelistcreator.codeplex.com/
There is what you have to to to create a GameList.
Afterwards - Upload your "Covers" and "Roms" folders to a webserver, as well as the GameList.xml
Then just enter this URL in the Game Settings. Et volià.

Where is the .xap? I'm getting the .zip, but there is no XAP file inside it.

or...is it another thing?
sorry for my poor knowledge on the subject...
new to this world
Thx!

You'll need a real webserver where you can access those files. So Rapidshare, e.g. is not an option.

Just wondering, what does the little Floppy Disc button do on the Individual Game page? It's greyed out for all of my games.

We currently do not but that is a good idea . If we do make one I will be sure to contact you XD

I have an issue with the GameList.xml.
I created it with "GameListCreator", then I redirected "GameList.xml", "Roms" and "Covers" with HFS (HTTP File Server), shut off the Firewall, pointed to the URL of the XML but I obtained the following error :
"Can't load the game List ! The format of the GameList is not valid !
NullReferenceException"
I tried your GameList.xml but I have the same issue.
So I tried to replace "Roms\" by "Roms/" and "Covers\" by "Covers/" in the xml file, unfortunately nothing change
Thanks for your work and help

love the website! amazing silverlight
gonna try the emu soon, much appreciate your work!
keep it up!

Someone needs to post the instructions because i don't know what to do
