[BOOTANIMATION] The Shiny Blob bootanimation (320x480)

This is my first animation, but it's quite shiny, I assure you ;-)
Made for 320x480 devices, that's MDPI I believe.
Cinema 4D.
Is there a way to reduce file size with PNGs? The attached zip has 100 frames, and I've seen other bootanims with 90 or so frames being only 2-3 mbs...A PNG optimizer wasn't much help, only 3% reduction per frame.
Hope you guys like it.

[Q] Wallpapers for the Droid Bionic

Anyone have a good source yet for wallpapers to fit our screens?
Thanks
-D

I've been making my own. 960x854 seems to be correct resolution to not have to crop the image when you set it inside the phone.

Right on for the correct resolution size. I will make some wallpapers for the XOOM and Bionic and share them with you guys.

That's not right, the correct resolution is 1080x960. Resolution for Android wallpapers as a rule of thumb is if you have HxW, the size for the wallpaper is 2*WxH

What program do you use to edit the resolution to 960x854???

I second this. 1080x960 is definitely correct.
960x854 seems to work but if you scale it up to a height of 960 (correct background height) you will see that 854 scales to 1079. 1 px off.
EDIT: Photoshop is the best program to resize, but I believe MS Office Picture Manager can do it too...if you are on Windows

I use Zedge, works fine for me

Wallpaper Guidelines?
Is there a certain guideline for creating wallpapers for the bionic? I've created wallpapers in the past for different devices and they look great, but they look like crap on my bionic. I've done some searching and it seems that a lot of people are noticing that too. Guessing its just a matter of the type of display the bionic has. Some images look great on the bionic, while some look terrible. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of specifics for how you create and save the image files to ensure they look great on the bionic's screen? Is it the image's pixel per inch? Is it the color profile? Is it the image mode as in RGB or CMYK? Or the image mode as in 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit? I'm trying to find the magic combo here.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dont think any wallpaper will ever look "great" on the bionics screen, especially compared to other phones. The colors just look too far off to me.

Yeah, but still...would like to know the how and why. I can find and load some images that I find as wallpaper and they look great. Others look really bad...to the point where it is all pixelated and the color is off.
There has to be some kind of standards we can follow.

1080 x 960 is the best size, especially if you want your wallpaper to scroll with your desktop. 24 or 32 bit color depth also works well. Using smaller images and/or lower color depth can cause banding and dithering in wall paper images. I think that's part of the reason a lot of people complained about the Bionics display - Google pulled in wall paper from their previous phones back-up and those images got scaled to fit the QHD screen on the Bionic. Happed to me anyway. I had some favorite wall papers on my Droid 2 that were 960 x 854. When my Bionic pulled down my Google data it tried to scale those images and some of them looked like crap-easpecially if they had gradient areas. After re-sizing them to 1080 x 960on my PC and replacing the 960 x 854 versions they looked much better.

I've tried that and it doesn't work 99% of the time. Most of the time they still look like crap. In the past, if I've ever had a banding issue, all I had to do was add a little noise to the image to help break it up a bit. Seems like no matter what I try the images will look great on a computer screen or on other devices, but not on my Bionic. Still can't figure out why some images I find look good while others don't...

I found out the issue is for example i download an image off the net and i do some modification on it and i save it shows like 45kb while originally it was 1mb...
How can i turn off the compression ?

This question has nothing to do with Android.
Thread moved to off-topic.

Either save it as a PNG or when you save it as a JPG make sure you set the quality up to 12(Max).

Yeah, I save all my wallpapers as the highest quality PNG possible.

If it's just for wallpapers save it as a 24-bit PNG, rather than a JPEG. Same bit size, yeah, but no compression with a PNG. And you don't need to save it as a 32-bit png as you don't need the alpha layer (which is the 4th 8 bits) for wallpaper.

No - that's correct. If it's exactly the right size for your device then unless it's doing some stupid compression on your phone you shouldn't lose any quality.

Ok almost 2 am gonna get some sleep and try tomorrow reports ASAP

[Q] Wallpaper resolution?

No need to write anything else hehe.
What's the resolution of the XZ wallpapers? 1920 x 1080 images aren't working out too good.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Provided you want a scrollable wallpaper, usually it's 1.5*width and 1*height. That would be... uhm... 1080+540=1620. So 1620 in width and 1920 in height.

Nea 1920 x 1080 seems to be way too big, the phone wants to crop the image before it sets the image as a wallpaper.
Can't select the whole image, or I don't know how hahaha.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Well you need to enlarge the selection box. Which you cant if the image is the exact size of the screen. Apply logic: the pic needs to be wider than 1 screen width (scrolling wallpaper), it needs to be at least 1.5*width wide.

2160x1920 fit perfect on Homescreen, 100%.

In the attachment you can see what I mean.
That image is 1920 x 1080, but I cant make a bigger selection then that.

AW: [Q] Wallpaper resolution?
Oh man, give me a rest.
Ok, lets make it simple: just look at your phone, what it looks like. Learn about the technical details of your device, it's got a 1080 by 1920 screen, NOT 1920x1080. Or is your Xperia wider than it is high...?
The wallpaper needs to be HIGHER than it is wide. Roughly 1600 wide and 1900 high. Yours is wider than it is high.
