yes i want it too +1

looking really good indeed.
Here the "start up" on video http://www.tmonews.com/2009/12/htc-nexus-one-boot-animation/
Like that too....
But when you have all png files how do you make a boot animation???
I found the files on the internet (lot of png's actually, 95 to be precise, which you have to stick together)
They are in alndscape, I can make those portrait wvga size when I have time, but than you have up and down a black area of course.

To make a Bootanimation so this is a gif file when you have all the png images for example 95 images all image are a step by step so this mean the animation will have 95 frames in internet have some Android animation with only 45 Frames and have some with 95 frames this one with 95 frames mean More frames with mean the animation will be smoother but on the same time bigger size so its easy to make all the image in gif because already have many programs doing this, for example im using Uliead Gif Animator 5 witch is very easy to use.. you just need to add all 95 images and to save as them like a gif file, also you are able to make the delay in ms so you can make the Animation to be faster.. or slower depends from the needs after all is done you just can put that gif file in your windows folder and you are done
If you wana try by yourself just download Unlied Gif Animator 5 if you think you cant do it give me all the 95 images in WVGA resolution and i will make the gif. Remember the animation quality depends from the images so if you make the images in hight quality the animation will be with the same result.

well, I like to fool around with photoshop so I gave it a shot:

How do I apply wallpapers without hideous compression?

As we all know, the CoolIris gallery on the Nexus One makes compressed versions of the pictures it has for faster loading times and smoother 3D effects. However, I was not expecting to see the same hideous compression on the wallpapers I download and then apply from the Gallery. They look simply rubbish in the display and that's disappointing. I've attached a screenshot of how this actually looks. The actual wallpaper is actually quite crisp and sharp.
Is there any other way to apply a wallpaper without using the gallery and consequently having it compressed?

Try wallpaper set an save from the market. I only saved a bg, but see if it does the trick

Nope, still looks compressed. Any other options?

Bump. Anyone?

link me the full size picture (upload somewhere) and i'll try a few things here.

The only solution i have found, was to add the wallpaper i didnt want compressed to a launchers default wallpapers. I use ADW, so I replaced the default adw wallpaper with the htc sence wallpaper (the static one). Had to make sure it has the same file name as the one its replacing. I originally did this using metamorph, but that stopped working, so I use "App Manager 4.5" (google it). I copy the AWD Launcher's apk file and use app manager to unzip it, I then replace the wallpapers I want and use app manager to recompile the apk making it usable on the N1 again, and it works like a charm.
The sense wallpaper no longer has the hideous compression it has when applied through the gallery, I was hoping this would be solved with froyo's release, if only to be applied to wallpapers only, but I guess not, till then, this is the method I have to use for the wallpapers which are affected.

I use "My Gallery" to avoid the wallpaper banding issue. It by-passes the 3D Gallery when choosing an image to be set as a wallpaper. The troubles with "My Gallery" are 1) it cant crop the image to fit the phone resolution. So large images must be pre-cropped. 2) The image organization is horrible. It doesnt have any function to go to specific directory. It'll just dump every image it could find on the SD or internal mem. If you have loads of images, there'll be a lot of scrolling involve.

Wallpaper question

All,
Where should I put my images that I would like to use for wallpapers? Even with the stock images, I noticed that depending on what menu I used to set the wallpaper, some were resized strangely.

Thanks!

where you put them shouldn't impact the image size. you can put wallpaper images anywhere really. i put them in /media/wallpaper on my sdcard.

I tried saving images from websites using the built in browser and then set them as wallpaper, but that didn't work.
I downloaded Opera Mini from the market and then I could properly save images and set them as wallpaper.
Maybe there is a setting for the native browser that allows for proper saving, but I could not find it. Anyway, Opera is a pretty decent bowser so I'm perfectly happy using it.

Thanks for the tip. But, I'm trying to use my own pictures - not web images.

1200x1024 is the proper size for two screens. 1800x1024 for 3. you could try resizing before setting as wallpaper to see if that works for ya. make sure you expand the box to take up the entire image when selecting it or it will mess up the sizing.

Thanks. Happen to know the right size for 1 screen? is it 600 x 1024? (seems to be if my math is correct)
But, what I'm more curious about is where to put the files. Seems there is a /media/wallpaper on my sd and my internal. Which should I use? I want it to show up in my "wallpaper".
Also, happen to know if it is safe to delete the stock pictures / wallpapers. Some of them are downright ugly.
Thanks!

don't know about deleting the stock images. you could try... i doubt it'd hurt anything, but just to be safe, make sure you nandroid first.
ya... i've never done a single screen, but that is the right math... 600 per screen.
either place will work. i've loaded them in both locations and they work in either.

I had the same problem, solution is to download coveroid. Any wallpaper you want will just go into the coveroid download folder, and then set the wallpaper from inside coveroid. For some reason the non-default launchers cause issues with setting wallpapers, but coveroid seems to fix this.

1200x1024 is the correct size for 5 pages. When you slide from one page to another the background doesn't move by full 600 pixels. It only moves by 150 pixels.
The built-in gallery function scales the pictures in an ugly way when cropping for use as wallpaper. It's a conflict between 3 screens of the B&N Nook and 5 screens of the typical Android launcher.
I followed the sticky with tips and downloaded the Wallpaper Set & Save app. It lets you navigate for pictures through directories and sets them as wallpaper while preserving the resolution if correct to begin with. I'm very pleased with it. My wallpaper now looks correct.

Thanks for the help!
I hope to have some cool wallpapers soon. It helps to have a Pro photographer in the family.

Xoom Boot animation LWP

So i dont know if im the only one who has search for a good LWP of the xoom Boot animation so for all you who have serched well here is a diffrent way of makeing it, if i knew how to code it i would of lol
first off there is an app out that would let you make your own LWP out of images
Search market for LWP Creator
you will also need the boot animation images found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=526522&d=1298587966
extract files and or rename part0 to whatever you like just so you know what it is
transfer files somewhere into xoom memory (remember where you sent them)
after LWP Creator has been installed go to wallpapers, livewallpaper LWPcreator settings uncheck sdcard go to folder path, change placement and sizeing and adjust desired FPS , back, set wallpaper and you got it a live wallpaper of the xoom boot animation, there are other images you can use but i like the stock xoom animation for lwp
youtube link of how it looks (audio is crap so remember to mute it )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLqPf9_PdtM

Curious what is the effect this lwp has on your battery life, if any?

not too sure on battery life i been running LWP on my xoom since i bought it the only thing i noticed that drains my battery is the display itself by that i mean watching movies and so on but other then that not really noticed much else

[Q] Custom Boot Animation

Okay,
I was fiddling around with boot animations on my sensation an made a sweet one that i like from a couple of youtube vids all credit goes to them ie korea android ad and i think a fellow in a design class made the other one (look below i have attached) but when i tried to do the same for my xoom i got stuck in the boot animation where it kept recylcing the boot and never actually booted into the rom... to say the least i had to do a nandroid to get back just from a boot animation which kinda sucks... anyway ill lay out the specifics
1. I used jpgs, same as with my sensation they seem to work just as well as .pngs but keep the zip much much smaller and dont look choppy
2. I use the original boot animation from the tiamat 2.2.2 version as my base zip file which i edited with my pictures
3. I used the actually spec'd dimensions of the xoom of 1280 x 800 for the pictures, however i noticed that the boot from tiamat used 704 x 440 maybe that could be it (i will be trying that now and report back)
4. as my boot time took a while i thought i may try to use 900 images (a bit dumb i know, in my sensation i use 400 and it gets through them nicely, each pic is a pretty quick segment tho) (i will edit the same amount as my sensation and try again)
can anyone shed some light onto why mine may not have worked other than the amount of pics..
here is a youtube link for what i actually made
boot

i tried to just change the resolution to 704 x 440... and i deleted half the images... and tried again... again it kept replaying and never actually booted into the rom so again i am nandroiding lol

You will need to edit your desc.txt file
1408 880 24
p 0 0 part 0
put all your pictures in folder named part0.
Then zip folder using 7zip and make sure you choose store as compression method.
Hope this helps.

i have done that but used done3 as my folder name.. as i said i used the tiamat moray boot animation as my base zip =]
the name of the folder inside the zip shouldn't make a difference especially as i got it to play but it keeps playing and playing a small bit and not the whole file nor booting into the rom...

on all my bootanimations, it helps if you make each image 960 x 600.
then on your desc.txt file, make the screen size 1280 x 800 (the correct size for the xoom).
sometimes if there is an extra pixel hanging off it could cause you to blackscreen or bootloop.
also, sometimes you'll get a bad jpg file, that could also cause the black screen or bootloop.
best suggestion would be to get the desc.txt file from a known working bootanimation and just adjust the frame rate. be sure to hit enter for a new line after you have put in the info for the last part folder.
oh, and a little trick i found. use the bootanimation installer to push the bootanimation, then restart the xoom and be sure to close the bootanimation installer.
leave your xoom connected to your pc. if you do get into a bootloop, wait a few minutes for it to loop then just reopen the bootanimation installer and push a known working bootanimation. after a few seconds the new bootanimation (or default one) should show and should boot normally. this is my procedure.

Sweet ill try that.. I tried 3 dimension sizes the true size, and 2 dimensions i got from boot animations with the roms.. I reduced the number of jpgs..
One last thing what setting do u choose for your jpg in photoshop? Or do u jyst use pngs.. I can use setting of 6 medium sized compression for me sensation even tho it works for my phone that may be affecting the xoom

doesnt really matter the file size. we've made bootanimations with upwards of 7 parts and 200+ mb.
i would say try it first with pngs and if it works then convert to jpgs. i use a file sizing program to make sure of the picture ratio, it gets rid of any of those hanging pixels.

Well considering i set canvas size with photoshop that constricts pixel dimensions quiet well but ill take ya advice and try that and i might split it up too

also remember that there is a file number limit per part (folder).

looks good

Success it would seem.. Jpgs are fine.. I think i have found the upper limit of pictures no matter the amount of folders.. The 130 per folder helped.. Will update when i get home from work
