Just in case anyone wanted to get rid of all signs of AT&T, you can change the shut down animation to any series of PNG's you want pretty easily. The shut down PNG's are in RES_cappuccino.apk here:
/system/framework/RES_cappuccino.apk
If you want to change the shut down animation, you can change the 25 PNG's (you can use my PNG-swapping tutorial thread if you don't know how =) ) found here:
RES_cappuccino.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/power_off_001.png to power_off_025.png
Just swap out the 25 PNG's with whatever you want.
Oh, and the boot animation is
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
but I figure everyone sorta knew that already =)
They really don't care about free space, don't they?
Thanks for the info.
Haha, I know, right?
dang, wow.. hmm, you know what's [email protected] and i were chatting in another thread about experiencing any delays or lags anywhere with this phone and the title of this/your thread reminded me that there is indeed a stutter on the shutdown animation with my phone. the boot up animation is super smooth though and i was thinking i would not mind keeping the boot up but just deleting the shutdown one, but i had figured they were the same sequence.
it's super they are not!
is it possible to shrink all this shut down nonsense to as little as possible?
gave ya a thanks!
The best option, in my opinion, is to just swap the png's with solid black ones. I wouldn't suggest just deleting them, cause the xml's will still reference the missing png's and it might cause trouble (might not, too, but without recovery, I'd err on the side of safer =) )
So for the bootup animation, can we just use any animations out there, like the ones i use for the atrix, or it still needs to be specific? Just trying to be safe lol.
For the heck of it I've tried animation from UOT kitchen, it worked just fine, but because images are for smaller resolution they displayed with large black border around them, other words not in full screen.
For the boot animation, you can use whatever you want, yeah. I copied my old one from my x10 (edited some of the PNG's just for fun =) ), and it works just fine. If the resolution of the boot animation is lower than the nitro's screen, it'll just show the animation centered with a black background.
If you want to use the Atrix ones, I'm sure you can just stretch each of the png's in the zip to 1280x720, and they'll play just fine without a black border

I need a little help with the robot glow image. I want the glow to be light grey like the file that i attached. Did i make the glow image right?
you need to make it an animation
im pretty sure google used about 10 different picure in that aniation
correct me if i wrong but thats what would make sense
Nope... the image is just anormal .png file that the phone witches between.
To get you grey glow you would still need the Droid in the image but with the added grey "glow" around it.
It basically faeds between the two images to create the effect.
Read the other threads on this and it might make more sense then.

I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!
Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!
Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?
failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?
hi,
i hope maxycy will give us instructions how to manage it by ourselves!!!
i hope mun_rus will find out a good solution in order to have our own background in all tabs too.
ciao

Hi, i've made a copy of the wallpaper... It should resemble the original one

Well, I did manage to do that somehow..
Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..
Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!
Have a look at mine
Nice, How did you do that
here you have the new manila background took form the new manila 3.0
can u put some screen shot
can u put some screen shot for this cab

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.
Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?
edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?
Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!
I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.
This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3
Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.

By using a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper!
As for the clock & buttom bar;
Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM
Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons
Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider

Exactly !
& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out
Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..
There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........

Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...
If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!
Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!
The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.
Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

brilliant that's exactly what I was after thankyou! shall have a play with them this evening when I get home from work.
I searched for this and only found information on other phones...
What is the exact wallpaper resolution size for the epic. I made a cross and scripture that I set to 480x800 originally which is pretty small. I made it to fit the bootscreen for the modification that Rodderik came up with. Now I wanted to try and make it my wallpaper but it forces me to crop it way too small. I would think the 480x800 would be small enough but it's not. I have no wiggle room so I need the exact resolution that it wants.
Thanks!
***sigh***
980 X 800 in case someone else looks this up.
960x800
10/char
Wallpaper
So I created a wallpaper at 980X800 which works, however when you flip the phone and get landscape it loses quite a bit of the picture. Is there a trick to this? It doesn't seem to be a problem with most wallpapers.
unless its in a "and I'm likely quoting this wrong" a .9.png fromat it WONT scale right on landscape.. and I'm thinking that a background wont anyway unless there is a mod to the framework.apk
Hmmm... I think you're right. I'll post back with my findings and try to thank you since I can't in the app.
png
So gimp (which people use who theme) does save in png format, but I cannot find the .9 business. I'll test png and see if it helps at all, but I'm sure the .9 format is necessary. You probably have to incorporate two different resolutions into the same file and reference it somehow.
I like the boot logo on OS X Lion (DP at least) and thought to try to make similar for our Android devices. It came out quite well in my opinion.
Bootanimation (click the pic to download)
Alternative bootanimation (click the pic to download)
Splash (click the pic to download)
Alternative splash with Apple logo if someone wants it (click the pic to download)
Suggestions? Bugs? Want one with something else but similar style?
Please consider donating a small amount to me, since I lost the job I was going to and now I need to get some cash to buy books for graduation exam... If you donate me whatever amount you want, I will make you one splash screen and try to make a bootanimation of your choice!

This is pretty awesome. Nice clean boot up.
I'd like to be so bold as to suggest to place the circle loading icon animation under the android about around half the size?
Top notch work, love it

Good suggestion! I tried it before creating this thread, but I didn't like how it came out. This is a "revised" version
looking for it thanks
I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

This reminds me that I forgot to mention a few things in the original post.
Something Fallout/Pip-boy inspired could be cool!
Best game ever!! Can't stop playing.

The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.

I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.
