Bootanimation.zip question

Is there a size constraint ? I'm working on making my first one ... and having some issues . Trying to sort out the issue .

The max screen resolution is 480x800.
I have seen 480x854 work on my phone, but not 490x810. Also, the 60fps doesn't work as a framerate, 24fps and 30fps do.
I'm playing around with the image size on the original GalaxyS boot animation to fill the screen, and that's what I've found.
Good luck, and be sure to post it up so we can see when you're done.

Supposedly, there is a 3MB limit per folder, not sure if this is true or not. Also, make sure the zip doesn't have compression, it should be created in store mode.

That might be the issue .. I'm using winrar to zip . What do I use to zip in store mode ?

Okay I got it zipped in store mode .. and its booting now ..but its soooo choppy . My preview in Photoshop is super smooth . My zip size is like 3.8 , could sheer size be causing it to bog down ?

me too...
I'm having trouble with the ones I created too. I rendered them in Vegas pro and they work but really slow. I encoded them at 30fps and the images are 480 x 800. I uploaded the one i made if any body wants to try.
edit: the are like 35mb so i don't size is the issue...

Same here . Mine is superslow . I have more animation to add . But don't want to go on until I know how to boot properly

replace it.

I have also been playing with boot animations using pictures from a 8 meg canon camera and from frame captures of 720p video. My biggest one is 55.7meg and runs perfectly at 29fps. i currently have that are built from vids running one being the 55.7 meg and another at 52.4 meg runnin 29fps. Then I have multiple other smaller ones with frame rates running as low as 12fps because they are built as slide shows. It is true that the aspect ratio for the sf is 480 x 800, but when you resize your pictures make sure to maintain the 480 as stated above. Some of my frame shots from vids ran off in size turned out to be 480 x 640 and the boot wouldnt run right till i plugged those exact dimensions into the desc file. One hint i can give is after you resize your images to the correct res. go ahead and compress them too. helps them load faster. Then zip in store mode and have fun. Takes me about 15 minutes average to build one depending on the source.

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

I think i fixed the quality issue i just had to put 1080x960 canva size.. tested on 1 wallpaper will try on others and report again..

Honestly pictures are quite nice in my opinion, anyway Krabappel has made a little mod in his ROM and the quality is higher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903
Maybe he could post a file or something to apply this settings in other ROMs, but it's up to him...

hope someone would make this mod too, usually in some phones the mod is just a modded camera.apk in others was a modded xml... i hope someone could make a rom-independent mod, cause i'm fine with rooted stock rom

I take it that you don't like soft images? Anyway, we know the potential of Sony rs sensor, we just need Sony to tweak the camera to match the sensor potential.

Sony never released updates for their Smartphone cameras, sorry to destroy your hopes but it's less likely that they will do it this time.

Hello Boys and girls.
Yesterday i found a method to improve the quality.
I hope it works.
I feel it just a little bit improvment.
What do you need:
Xperia Phone (I think it works also for other models)
root access
a file manager with root function
How to do:
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ROM WITH RECOVERY
looking for the file "media_profiles.xml" in the folder "/system/etc"
make a backup of it
open with a text editor
looking for the code
Code:
<ImageEncoding quality="90"/>
<ImageEncoding quality="80"/>
<ImageEncoding quality="60"/>
<imageDecoding memCap="20000000"/>
change all three values of "ImageEncoding qulity" to "100"
and change the value of "imageDecoding memCap" to "80000000"
Please be carefuly
I'am not responsible for any bricks
Hope you will fell the difference
Sorry for bad english

Nope sorry but it doesn't change anything.
ImageEncoding set to 100
ImageEncoding set to 10

To me it changes: the 100 pic is a bit darker with richer colours, same effect that was found in the Rom i pointed out before...

Shooting pics in burst mode noticeable improves picture quality. Give it a shot

Strange but I can capture videos without any problems.

This completely crashed my phone I tried to record a video and a warning message came up saying it was overheating so shutting down. Then when i powered it up it crashed as soon as it got to the home screen. Tried to get it back to CWM and crashed on that screen and powered itself down then wouldn't boot again! Charged it all last night, tried pressing Power and Vol+ etc Nothing... completely dead, only a charging LED light. Luckily took it back to Carphone Warehouse and they swapped it with another Great service! So yeah... not sure why mine was different/what went wrong etc. It was a locked bootloader but rooted with CWM.

QHD Ultra Wallpaperz HD - NEW Wallie App

Finally after 2 days of hardwork I managed to publish the new edition of wallpaper app and its online now as QHD Ultra Wallpaperz HD.
TRY is, its faster and better.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contractoz.QHDUltraWallpaperzHD
Get it now.

Thx gonna give it a try

i hope you will like it

The app doesn't work at all. I can browse images, but pressing save just saves a blank image of 0 bytes, and pressing "set wallpaper" makes it crash instantly. Using a regular S6.

Kinda corny how you rated your app 5 stars and commented. And the icon is crap quality. And it doesn't work.

Btw we should ask Zedge team to change the resolution for the S6 from FHD to QHD, they got it wrong

Works for me.

My app is working well for most of them if you have any problems do let me know nd if you like the app please rate it 5 stars.

Crashed for me. Uninstalled.

Kozmo's Wallpaper Corner

Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and aliens.
I made this thread with wallpapers that i create and i will update it from time to time.
I do some graphic design, but not at a big level, however i also like photography and "game photography" (I spent hours and hours trying to mod games to be able to take great pictures in them).
Pack 1 - These wallpapers are all screenshots i've taken in the game, and i hope you give them a try as they are not even related to the games, but to their artistic side.
I worked quite some time on them, and to make them as screenshots took a while aswell, as i had to edit them manually and make them fit a 9:16 aspect ratio.
They are also resized from crazy crazy resolutions like 11520x6480, so, expect them to be of high quality.
Genres: Surreal, Abstract, Nature, and basically everything. This first pack, i wanted to make for everyone to be able to enjoy.
91 wallpapers - Resolutions: qHD (1440x2560), FullHD (1080x1920), HD (720x1080)
Thumbnail view of all of them - Few Proper Previews
Download Here
Read this please:
I make these wallpapers because i like helping people (Literally, my top priority in life ) and making content for everything, i made them so people can enjoy them, please, don't re-upload them elsewhere, and don't claim them as you're own.
If i find any of them re-posted on Zedge on other websites/apps, i will report them, Sorry.
As a side note, please, forgive my way of talking, i don't really know how to explain things properly, and i don't know how to talk to people.
