Making some animation effects need help. - Off-topic

Hello,
Making some animation effects I stalled at making something like that. What I mean is to make a circle/chart animation. Circle should fill continually till 360 degrees. I figured out several solutions but I'm not happy with any of them. Can anyone of You guys did kind of animation ? I wanna design some animation demo video so please can anybody give me some advice.
I've used some masks for this but it don't work properly. Any ideas please? I think if someone can figure this out so that I can work out how the logic works then hopefully I'll be good to go!
Could someone please help with the logic please?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

[Devs] Tattoo Working on G1

Managed to get tattoo working on the G1 but require some help with the resolution, the icons are alot smaller than hero icons, is there anyway to adjust this?
I've seen some threads discuss 120dpi but not too sure where this fits in.
Any help appreciated.
Did you check out the developers section to see if anyone else was working on this? Maybe you could contact them to work together.
Good luck, can't wait to see how this turns out.
Six6Sicks, thanks; turns out that the answer lies in the Build.prop file.

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.

cheers, I know how to do that, but I wanted a live wallpaper, not a boot animation

com.htc.resource.apk issues...

hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers
hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..
Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D
Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin
Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!

[Q] Restoring the back ground?

Hope this question is correctly positioned.
Please could someone help an amateur android.
Got home a new job phone today. A X10 mini. Might now add a background that was to see the awful. Now I can not find where I remove it and restore to the usual blue.
Someone who wants to help a rookie with the way I do.

[Q] bootanimation not repeating

I joined two great boot animations together but it is not working nicely. The first part is working but the second part(Loop part) is not even starting. Can someone please look into it and tell me what might be wrong.

use this software to create boitanimation.zip
this software will create desc.txt and will correctly compress the animation you can also preview animation
maybe the file .bridgesort in your animation is causing the problem
Yes, the problem was in my compression method. Now it's working nicely. I'll probably just put the finished one on Theme and Apps, in case anyone may want it.
Thank you.
