Solar's Splash Screen Thread
I will be creating and uploading splash screens for use on our Thunderbolts. They are going to be generally simplistic as that is my personal taste but...
I am also taking requests:
Simply link an image here (Cropped or not - I can crop it if needed) and I will do the rest. Yes, it is an easy task but some people would rather have others do it for them and it will give me something to do
For best results use images that are 480 by 800 pixels or bigger. If it IS smaller than those dimensions I will either need to stretch the picture out or center it which in either case wouldn't look great.
The only way I will even bother with images smaller than those dimensions is if the background is white and it will look good centered. I am doing this to keep the quality of these splash screens up.
PM NOTIFICATIONS
From now on, as soon as your splash screen is uploaded and added to the thread I will send you a PM so that you can come and download it. That way, you don't have to keep checking back to see if it's done or not. If you DO NOT want me to send you a PM and would rather check the post yourself, at the end of your request just say 'NO PM' and you won't receive one.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (As per Rom-Addict's Thread)
- Rename to PG05IMG.zip
- Place on root of sd card(not in a folder)
- Boot into boot-loader
- You will see:
- 'Update splash'
- Select yes update splash
- Wait... When done:
- Select reboot

Alright got the first one done.
The other 2 are a bit small for a splash screen and won't come out that good as they will either be stretched or have weird white borders on them. I edited the OP to mention the size they need to be in order for them to turn out well.
I was able to do the Soul Eater one as it already had a white background and looked good centered.
Ahh. Didnt know that about being too small. I'll see if i can find some larger ones after work, but thanx for doing the one.

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.
Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!
Sent from my Epic 4G
sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!
Thank u so much!

Thanks for having a look, I'll re-up it when I get the chance. Are you using the CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC1 ROM? This is the ROM I've built the framework on.
Also the zips are not signed so you need to flash without checking for verification.

Try this.
As for the scrolling wallpaper its just a bit of maths;
Your screen is 320x480 therefore you wallpaper will be 640x480.
If you set 6 home-screens then it will scroll by 320/5 = 64 pixels.
Make a background that is 640x480 and put a stripe every 64 pixels. 6 home-screens should then scroll the width of each stripe.
Alright..too much procrastination for me today...
Hope you enjoy, If you like it can you post a screeny? Can I use your screens on my blog?

I've signed the zip and it flashed OK, if it's OK with ClassicalGas I'll upload it for those of us still on AmonRa's recovery.
The theme is looking good, not noticed any problems so far, I will go through and test as much as I can and report back

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You just need to sign the zip. I have added a zip for AutoSign, very simple to use just rename the target zip 'update.zip', extract the autosign.zip into a folder and put the target zip in it as well and run the exe. I have also added the update zip for the Ubuntu fonts if anyone wants them.
Just out of curiosity, are you planning on porting the other parts of the theme (lock-screen, dialogue boxes e.t.c) or is this purely a notification bar port? Either way, great for the MDPI devices to get some love!

I still can't get it to sign for some reason, I have heard there could be issues with Windows 7 and signing. Do you mind if I send new Hero stuff to you to sign?
I am wanting to port everything over eventually, but it will take a bit of time and it depends on the interest received from the MDPI users here.

I'll definitely give this a whirl when 6.1 goes stable (RC1 was a mess for me, dunno why). Figures, your theme is about exactly what I had wanted back in September while I was doing the WinPhone7 theme-y thing x]

Edit: I am off work the next three days so i will be adding lots more to this list. I will also be creatingg animated gifs of each boot animation so you can see them before you download.
Edit: I have now included demos for each one. Keep in mind a animated gif image is not very high quality. It is meant to give you a general idea. All of these will look much better on your phone. I have also cleaned up all the links to make things look less cluttered. I also decided to not embed the animated gifs here so that this page wouldnt take forever to load. Tomorrow i will be adding more animations after i finish optimizing them for our screens. Also when i hit 800 total downloads ill be releasing a animation i created myself. Im currently at 286 downloads thus far. Goodnight XDA.
Will be adding more as soon as i can (I work 4-12 EST most days of the week)
Leave requests in the comments below. If they are not meant for our screen size i will optimize them for our screen size first.
Nice, good too to have options.

Hey man..
Just thought of another suggestion. I dont know how much time your work take or anything like that.. But I personally would like a SF 49ers particle red.. Kind of like the cyanogen one but the SF 49ers symbol instead.. That would be cool. Only if you have time man.
Looks like I'm actually gonna do something for the community now! *Background clapping* I am currently able to make splash screens and test them until the 30th of July. Throw me a pic, and I'll try to make it look the best I can. And I mean splash screens, not boot animations. I am still working on learning that one.
Instructions to flash the creations:
Make sure the file name is splash1.img
Put device into bootloader, then fastboot. ADB reboot bootloader will automatically put it into fastboot.
Make sure the splash1.img is currently where your adb is directed.
Command is as follows: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

***UPDATED as of 01/19/11***
Here's a link to the newest version. I fixed the issue where wallpaper reset upon use. It seems to be related to using .pngs in the bootanimation. Never heard of it before, but it means I have to use .jpgs, meaning we'll have to suffer with a bit lower resolution:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24772203/bootanimationEOSfinal.zip
Hey everyone, I spruced up the EOS bootanimation included with the ROM a bit. One is just smaller, one is smaller and has a bit of a glass effect on the spinner. I'll keep messing around with it, but thought I'd throw it up for now in case anyone's interested. I'm no photoshop expert, still learning, but hope you like them.
All the credit for original design goes to the EOS team, I've just modified it to my taste.
