Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.
FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?
My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.
UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!

I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

Thanks a bunch to Ritalin for this. Hopefully a lot of people will join in making more FlipFonts available.
Here's my first try in making a FlipFont: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7776274&postcount=201

agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones
I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735148 u have to be rooted, but its working with truetype fonts.
how can i use the flipfonts?
sorry for the Q

the official route is to buy them from Market then
Settings => Display => Font Style
I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.
My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.

and could you tell about unofficial route pls?
Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.

Dude, I'd give you 3 stars and a pint of your favourite drink for sharing this with us.
--- EDIT ---
Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey.
No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.
If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Moving Eye
Download from App store Ownskin Live Wallpaper
You could create some live wallpaper for your Galaxy S as well
I want to make some wallpapers, but what are the dimensions required for wallpaper?
For galaxy S it should at least be 960*800
thx, i love the blue eye... the black theme juz a perfect match for my new galaxy s! love the phone!
So I assume that is 960 for width and 800 for height!
Thanks

Go market, search for "ownskin" (without the quote), it is an app that let you download free livewallpapers created by android community.
you can go to their site to create one for yourself too. the site url: http://www.ownskin.com/livewallpaper
Some new animated are up Now
and keep an eye on ownskin ....ill gonne make some more soon.[/QUOTE]
We could package individual live wallpaper if you have some very creative idea.
We could pass the APK to you and you sell in on Android market or to give out for free. 100% revenue goes to you. You sell using your own Android market account.
So far all Live Wallpaper on Ownskin are free.
nice topic, and thx for the info got myself all the animated walls .. are super nice
cooooooool
i like the room
We have added touch events to the animations. When you create the animation object on our live wallpaper you could specify another image, so that when it is touch another picture will appear. It will revert to the idle image after some time. A different picture could be activated when an screen icon is drop on the animated object.

I started a website dedicated to Windows Phone 7 wallpapers: http://wpwallpaper.com
The wallpapers are all in the native WP7 screen resolution of 480x800. Each wallpaper also comes with a Microsoft Tag so you could scan a wallpaper you like straight from your computer screen with Bing Vision, so you don't have to manually download it. I try to add about 3-6 wallpapers everyday and would love for you guys to submit your favorite wallpapers here or on the site.
Hope you find it useful and enjoy!
Thanks for that! Not a bad site not a massive amount of content but no doubt there will be a few people from XDA who like designing images and will submit them. Great idea with the Microsoft Tag reader.
There is also the XDA Wallpaper app, you might want to contact the dev to see if you can have some inclusion in that to unify everything. Great job though.
You can also check out some wallpapers here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/category/wallpapers/
I really like your idea. Got some new wallpapers from there.
Easy when using Bing Vision.

I didn't even know you could use Bing Vision to scan the Microsoft Tags. Thanks for the tip!
As for the content, I plan to add more wallpapers in the next week. Glad you guys like it!
Nice, I just downloaded one. Need more, but pretty awesome idea just scanning with Vision. Love it.
thx for the postt....
I just added a bunch more wallpapers! Thanks for the submissions guys! Keep them coming

Interested here. I am actually a motion graphics artist but would love to do some animations or ui designs for mobile. Search "Carl Rabanes Vimeo" and go to Motion Graphics Reel 2009. I have my recent works though but its private on vimeo and i cant post links here since im still new to xda. Email mo at [email protected] if you are ok with it. Thanks!
Use this thread to share with all any animations you have made.You can select any subject matter (subject to XDA's rules).
The following is not a deal breaker but it would be nice if you could submit anims which are recovery flashable and if you attach an animated GIF everyone can see what they are getting.
I'll kick it off with one I built, it's flashable in recovery.
Ok I'll give you another one ..... This is also a recovery flashable zip ..... click on the GIF to see the action ..... anim plays slightly slower than the GIF.
Just a simple one for any Homer Simpson fans ..... flashable in recovery ..... tap on the GIF to see it.
James Bond theme ..... flashable in recovery ..... tap the GIF to watch it.

it's AUTHORIZED.. just to make it looks more legit :good:
For any Marvel Fans ..... flashable in recovery ..... tap the GIF to see it - the white bars at top and bottom of the GIF are not in the animation.
@metpolds I'll explain what I was talking about as clear as possible so you DICKHEAD can understand..
so... back to your CIA boot animation, there I saw "Authorising User ..... Authorised!"
Thing is authorize is the standard spelling in American and Canadian English. Authorise is standard in all main varieties of English outside North America.
Do you have any idea where CIA is located?? it's in US !!
That is why I suggest you to use "authorize" instead of "authorise" to make your sorry ass boot animations looks more like CIA..

You sir need to STFU, if you don't like what you see in this thread no one asked you to come in here and you can get the hell out, that was uncalled for and by no means should have been said to someone that is trying to better our phones, take your sorry ass comments somewhere else, and trust me "MR SPELLING EXPERT" you can look through this entire message and won't find one spelling error, be more respectful to people that are trying to help better our phones or this won't be the last you hear from me...
About 2 years ago I and my very good friend @JaeKar99 were collaborating on bootanimations for the A500 Tab which we both owned. He ported across this "Tron" anim from a friends phone and we ported it to the A500. It's always been a favorite of mine so I thought I would port it to the Motor G. Hope someone will like it.
As usual it's flashable in recovery ..... Tap the GIF to see it.
sir can you make a bootanimation from MotoDemo.mp4 video located in /system/etc/motorola pls?

@burak144 ..... See if this will suit you. I was forced to edit the video somewhat in order to make the animation - the reason for that being that the mp4 file was 13 Mbs which worked out at almost 900 frames which when trying to keep the definition high resulted in a horrendously huge animation. I see that your device is an XT1033, my phone is the US retail XT1034 - the animation works on mine but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
The anim is flashable in recovery ..... I didn't make a GIF as you have the video , so you know what it looks like

Here's another one ..... as before it's flashable in recovery ..... The anim runs slightly faster than the GIF and there is a small difference between the gif and the anim due to the fact that making an animated gif when there is more than one part is a problem. The ball runs until it boots.
This one is for @fsith who was unable to post his GIF here so PM'd me.
As usual it is flashable in recovery ..... No GIF attached, @fsith already knows what it looks like.
This one was originally created by my friend @JaeKar99 when we were creating for the A500. I think it's a nice animation so I have tweaked it a little and adapted it for the Moto G. Usual stuff ..... it is flashable in recovery ..... the GIF shows what it's like.
One for the Ghost Rider fans .... as usual flashable in recovery .... tap the GIF to see it.
