Just a couple of questions (Insane project inside) - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

Hello everybody! Being an idiot myself, i've always admired what everyone of you might've already seen, i'm talking about this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFHshctPO9E
Since i've been sleeping not so much lately, i came up with an average insane idea and i hope anybody could help me to create something AWESOME.
I'm talking about the vid, exactly at 1:54. That's where the elevator scene is, and ends at 2:02.
Now, about my idea:
How cool would a live wallpaper be? But not a looped one, is it possible to create a live wallpaper that activates everytime you slide through the home tabs? To put it simple, i'd like to create a live wallpaper that opens the elevator doors when you slide through tabs. I don't want anyone to make this job for me, i just want to know if it's possible and how should i begin to make it. And i will of course share it once is finished.
Thank you for your attention.

Gangnam style yes, it is possible i think, but i am not an LW developer, so, let any other person talk.

Thanks for the reply, i was starting to lose any hope
I had a random look at how to create live wallpapers, and it doesn't seem that hard, but what i want to do is no ordinary wallpaper. I want it to start its animation when touched, or swiped. That's the tricky part i'm trying to understand.

Making a looped one
1.DL the full video in 720p quality
2.Use an video editing program to cut the part you want
3.DL & install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.VLW&hl=en and use it to set your video as a live wallpaper
4.Enjoy

Thanks alot! But what extensions do this program read?
Edit: That's not what i was looking for. I need the animation to run when i swipe through the tabs, not a simply looping video. But thanks for your help.

So, You Want a Cup of Joe, Let's Talk

So you say you want a cup of Joe, or a MilkShake, or some other secret code word for a lil’ something in your PayPal account for your work, creativity and energy? Hey, this NEWBIE is all for it – hell, I’m glad to donate; but I be needed some help!
Where I’m at – right now, the Midwest USA, Omaha Nebraska to be specific. Where I’m at with my phone / HH device – it is a work issued HTC Touch Pro. I’ve had it about 3 months now, Alltel is my carrier and it came with a CRAP boring, dull grey Theme that can’t be changed, allegedly, when I’m using the Touch Flo3D.
Work offers several carriers; Verizon guys with the same phone have a much cooler “stock” theme – and oh sure, I can mess with the Today setting and get some goop red called Guava Bubbles to linger above and below in the bands, but mostly, it really sucks. Plus, the damn thing is slow – I hit my 4 code password and 1 out of 4 times the damn thing says I have the wrong PW – no I don’t you beyotch, I KNOW my password. Weather? I can UbitchInStein in Upper Mongolia but not the town I grew up in, Boulder Colorado, WTF is up with that?
I know just enough about technology to be dangerous – I can find the ROM versions and all that stuff, navigate config files a little, copy files using Active Sync and so on – and hey, my RingTones rock (http://sites.google.com/site/bcwsite4now/Home/filecabine) I can strip the hell out of a DVD, edit using Adobe Premier Elements and you might laugh your ass off if you know the movie scenes.
But for the life of me I can’t figure out this deal I downloaded called Manila Editor from Sascha Lange and Dimitry (you guys sound like Russian mob, please don’t kill me) - and now I’m reading this Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [1 Nov] New Version thread from Gramps or Grumps or the Gimp from Pulp Fiction (see Ringtone reference) above and it starts to look like I am getting close – Clocks, Icons, Sliders – hmm, that’s what I want, and really cool ones!!
So I DL and UZ a bunch of stuff from some thread and now I have some cool looking graphics in a bunch of folders on my PC that look like they work together in a TouchFlo 3D setting, but I have no friggin idea how to get them from my hard drive to my phone without brickin’ the damn phone; remember, work issue phone. {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202}
Plus, over at PPC Geeks or some other board, they were all hot on some TouchFlo 3D speeder upper program and steps with a new Stock Watcher Icon using the 3G network and a better Weather app; so I PM a dude over there about 45 days ago and he tells me, “yo, newbie, read a bunch and then PM me back.”
Dude, I have 3 kids, all under 6 and a wife who likes me to do dishes once in awhile, read a bunch of stuff on Google and THEN ask for help? No thanks, I’d rather pay your arse. So, the end of my story goes like this – who wants to help me and what is your price?
Can I make my own icons, sliders and clock graphics using PhotoShop or some other program? If so, what sizes should I aim for in each at what resolution?
How do I get all the cool **** on my PC now to my phone? Say I wanted to pick one of the themes, I think, like Panosha Shine 2.2 on my phone and ditch Mister Alltel BoreMeToFngTearsGrey?
What can I do to speed this ***** up? Add the Stock Application, and make the Weather App a little bit more relevant to my small Midwest World?
My dream phone, and your personal challenge: A faster HTC Touch Pro with a rocking U2 theme in black, red and grey or white that snags icons from the album All That You Can’t Leave Behind or How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and a cool clock that uses the font from the album War circa 1982 – hey, I’m old. It will have this much rumored, never seen by me improved Weather App and this Stock Market app so I can watch my 401K tank to 187K 24/7.
If someone can make all that happen, Monster Size Milkshakes and Jumbo Coffee all around!
Thanx for reading my rant.
No PMs plz – email [email protected]
87 Views, not 1 response or Email?
Is there a better site for folks like me -- was the potential for milkshakes and joe offensive?
I thought it was funny; maybe it wasn't? And, no comments on the Pulp Fiction ringtones??
Someone help me with the nuances of a programmer's onlline community -- there is talent out here galore; maybe I'm just 'lookin' for love in all the wrong places' -- figure of speech only.
In the immortal words of Jim Rome, Newbie is out!
I think you should try NRG's Energy ROM. It's already customized with a slew of tweaks and additional software. In addition to that you can use Showaco's BBExtreme theme for TF3D2. It's gonna take SOME reading to learn about your device so you don't brick it...and if that's gonna be a problem then I'll tell ya like I told my dad.....just get an iPhone. They're already setup outta the box with very little understanding required
1) Flash HardSPL to your device. Only have to do this once.
2) Flash EnergyROM 04052009 version. Link is on 1st page of his thread. I always flash from the sd card...safer, easier, faster, more portable. Simply plug your device into computer with usb cable and select disk drive. Copy 'RAPHIMG.nbh' to the root of storage card. Make a backup of everything. Then:
Hold down the Volume Down key while u press and release the reset button. Follow directions on the screen. After the screen appears for you to tap and align the screen, Hard Reset (Hold Vol down + Center button, then press and release reset button)
3) Copy BBExtreme cab to your storage card and click it to install. Soft reset, and you're done.
I'm afraid others are just as busy as you. I have 5 week-old twins at home and I read these forums while holding a bottle in their mouths. It's highly unlikely that anyone is going to spend hours to customize your device for you, and then provide customer service for the things that don't work exactly as they should. It takes time to learn these devices, I've been at it for over 5 years and still consider myself a noob. Good luck

Don't flash any gsm rom to a cdma device (Alltel) you will brick it. you might want to try ppcgeeks for your phone http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68
Thanks man, forgot Alltel was CDMA.
modding your phone takes a fair amount of reading and research. i understand that you're busy but theres not much other than that we can tell you. i started out http://blownfuze.org/ there and read pretty much the whole page before i even started. And even with just that website i wasnt satisfied.
spend some time reading that website, get an idea of what on there you like, and start from there. install a ROM (i suggest EnergyROM) and go from there. it takes a lot of reading before you know what you're doing. and dont ever assume you know how to fix something, its safer to look it up here than to try it. liek if you dont know how to install a ROM, theres a beginners guide. dont just try stuff. thats how you brick your phone.
you can change the stock theme i have an altell TP and i changed the TF3D theme a couple times- do a search for touch pro themes there was a thread with a bunch of them find one you like and you can load it with a program called Diamond TF3D Config- there are a lot of good free themes but probably not one just what you described
looks like you already found some themes i think they came in a zip when i did mine, put them on your phone not in a folder just the first menu then load with the program from above, just search and you will find that program
Installing a theme won't brick your phone, but it's a good idea to back everything up prior to messing with manila. Try out fuzeberry or onyx or any of the themes listed here or in the Diamond themes forum. Since it's a work phone, flashing roms may not be such a great idea. Dear lord, if you do, DO NOT FLASH ENERGY ROM!!!!! As mentioned above, it will brick your phone. Go over to geeks and try out Mighty Rom or Jughead rom or whatever catches your fancy.
You might look up giannis86 here. He's got a ton of really cool icons, and he's done some custom jobs for folks. Maybe he'll work 4 food. Anyway, I laughed my ass off.

I have scanned the responses, but don't think any answered the PhotoShop Question -- can I somehow make my own slider icons (Home, Music, Message) etc using PhotoShop and then try (I'll be back for help) to get the graphics into one of them "#4875-manila" files?
Graphic size?
Resolution?
Best file format? JPG?
Do I need an up and down state, similar to a rollover on a web-nav button? (Ohhhh, the newbie knows rollover up-state -- maybe he's more than just a RingTone guy)
Thanks again!

Yeah, you can make your own icons. Like I said before, look up giannis86, and in his profile look up all the threads he started. Grab one of his icon packs, and look at the files with manila editor. You'll be able to figure out the correct sizes and resolutions.

This addon for photo shop will allow you to edit/save png files.
CFC GUI (you'll have to search on here for it). Will let you get the graphics files out of the manila files and also put them back in after editing.
As far as sizes, I usually just open one of the files up check the size and then open a new file and set the canvas that size. They are all different sizes depending on what icon your editing.

Newbie here-- I'll add my Congrats on the Twins.
Our twins turn 6 Thursday the 16th ; best 6 years of my life; just about to "graduate" from Kindergarten. Carson is our boy, Olivia the girl -- she won the "lose the first tooth" contest today.
My2 cents on twins -- get them sleeping and eating on the same schedule -- its easy after that!
Enjoy.

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.

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!

want to create Live wallpaper but cannot programme

Can anyone help?
I want to create some animated wallpapers for myself, friends & family. No interaction, just a looped video.
I can create video's easily, been doing it for years, but I have no idea how to programme in any language
Is it possible for someone to create a template that I (and others) can just add a small video to and (somehow) convert to an apk?
I can promise I will not sell anything and will only be for people I know
is it even possible to use videos or are the current live wallpapers rendered on the fly?
any help/advise appreciated

I know the nexus boot animation uses the actual bootanimation.zip from the system folder. I'm sure you could create another animation.zip and redirected to that without much trouble. I hope that's a good starting point for you or whoever decides to help you.
BTW, the boot animation is basically just a short video clip with each frame saved as an individual png.

Like I said, you only have to convert your video clip into a boot animation, which is just an animated GIF with each frame broken out into a separate PNG image file.
Email the guy that made the Earth Live wallpaper. He can point you in the right direction.

Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks

Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/
That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.
Then read, and read, and read some more.
Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....
The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.
If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...

1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.
Setting wallpaper
-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.
-You will see a pop up with options.
-Go to wallpaper.
-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.
-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...
You should now have your wallpaper set.
For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.
Hope that helps.
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.
Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.

JotPad 1.3
What is the Jotapad? It's a Windows Phone app to jot down anything you want. Having a conversation with someone and really need to do a drawing to illustrate your thoughts? This is the app you've been looking for!
Want to scribble over a picture of your boss just for fun? Add a moustache and a beard like you did in the high school? Have a blast!
Just want to pass some time doing some doodles? You've came to the right place!
Anyhow, on with the show and the new features:
- SkyDrive upload, use your Windows Live ID and upload your doodles straight to your SkyDrive!
- Custom background images, use any image you have on your Pictures Hub as the background of your doodle! You can annotate in any picture.
- Save to phone, save your pictures on the phone, look at them anytime you want!
And the old favorites:
- Live Tile support, if you pin the app to the start screen it will show the last drawing you made.
- Multi touch support, using two fingers you are able to zoom, rotate and move around the page of your drawing.
- Various colors and image backgrounds, use one of the three lovely made backgrounds for that extra flair on your sketch.
Let me know what you think about it, and what should be improved. Just post in this thread and I'll be notified and get back to you.
BTW, in the next version, which I'm testing ATM, I've added advertisement, AdDuplex to be more specific to see if I can get some nice exposure for my app. What do you guys think of that? Is AdDuplex a good way to get some exposure? Can anyone with experience on this area leave some feedback please? That would be most appreciated.
looks like great app.. Any beta testing is available.

Nice app, I like it! I especially appreciate that it syncs with skydrive.
What is the best way to select a new background or pen color? (It's early and I probably need more coffee, thanks for bearing with my question

Press the middle button on the application bar to choose a different pen. For the background you have to go to settings and the swipe to the page background page and choose whatever background color or image you want.
Another thing I just realized, I probably should include a help page so that people know how to use the app. I was watching a review of my app on YouTube and the guy had no idea on how to use it and made it look kinda bad.
I would need it in classroom

Oh dear, I really did need more coffee earlier!! I didn't even think to swipe right in settings, although the settings page headings make it very clear there's more info available. My apologies.
Not a bad idea to have a help page, but you'll always folks like me who just weren't paying attention.
Nice app... it's a keeper!
