I saw several apps but none allow you to add the one you wanna use.
If the gif could be converted into a file like a live wallpaper im pretty sure its possible. Google how to make live wallpapers for android, use a program to extract the frames from a gif and that should be the right direction. After u make the file, ud probably have to inject the file into the system, dont know the location where live wallpapers are saved but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Lemme know how it goes, seems like a cool idea which can be done fairly quickly.
Google dvd media soft, they have a program that i use to do general media stuff with, extracted frames from YouTube videos with it, possibly can do it with gifs aswell, not sure

can someone please make a boot animation of bumble bee or optimus prime transforming
I could use one of those as well.
that sounds like it would be "off the hook!" somebody should jump on this.
I made one last year with the autobot symbol, where the eyes flashed. . But boot animations have come a long way since then... ill see what i can do, but i cant promise anything, im really busy these days...
Try this,
do i copy that to the sd card like six's instructions in his boot animations?
Yup. exactly the same way.
thanks man i finally got around to putting it on my phone
i wish i knew how to do this stuff i wanna get bumblebee the way he transforms in the movie
Ok if u guys want to create some urselves this is how i did it.
Get one of these utube videos, these r gud Link
Then download it using an online converter, i download at hd quality as mp4
Now i used vidcrop to crop the length of the video as well as the resolution.
Then once i exported the video from vidcrop, i used avcutty to dump them as bmp.
Then i used faststone photo resizer to convert them to png's at the same time controlling the quality of the images so they dont end up being 10mb each
Thats it, then just place them inside a extracted bootanimation.zip and rezip it WITHOUT compressing.
Hey Danesh, thanks for the quick and easy instructions! I've been trying to find my own method for these lately, but this is much faster

Which bot was this that the download button is for? Anyone try this one?
Its Optimus Prime in a very simple transformation, wish it was made with some more love
hey does that method work for mac users? I have been dying over here trying to make my own I was using photoshop and image ready but I think I messed up the settings, I took it from a video to a gif then to png's but it didn't work at all.

What up Danesh I went to the link you posted which I have to say those transforming vids are badass but than I started thinking why not use the actual vids from the movie when they are transforming. I this is crazy question is it possible to have a short video downloaded in the same format you did and use your method to put into the booting file. Is it possible to videos in any format in the booting screen because this would open up the possibility to get any video thats short enough and perform this. And if not can some one on here find a way out to make that possible cause that would be just amazing Thanks.
Tried it on froyo by laszlo
it boot loops... wonder why

Hi all,
One of the best things of the SGS for me is not having to convert anything. I watch a lot of tv shows with my phone.
There is no way, at least none that I'm aware of, to display the name of the file under the thumbnail, so I'm forced to open a video just to know its name.
Is there a way or an app that would let me display the name of the file before opening it?
That silly feature would make worth paying for a gallery app from where I stand.

Only way to do it is to select the file them click on more and then details. Been looking for a good gallery replacement but havent found one yet.....
I didn't think of that. But it's still faster to open the vids one by one.
You can also create a video shortcut in the homescreen and you'll get to the videos by name. But you won't get them by folders, so it mixes up shows with camera videos.
Or open it with myfiles and go to the folder and open from there. I wonder if you can create a shortcut to a folder on the home screen.
All workarounds.
Why not use the Video Player app that came with the phone?.... show name and thumbnails

Hey guys,
This has already been found in the orther threads on xda but i thought i would bring this to the SGS2 forums. Video Live Wallpaper is an app in the market that will allow you to set any video with any video format and set it as you live wallpaper. It can Read from your memory card or from internal memory. Very cool app and i have been using it for a few months on different devices and doesnt drain battery as fast as i thought.
Also this is another app called tubemate which will allow you to download any video from youtube straight to your phone. with these apps together i was able to find music videos and have them set as my wallpaper and also have them set to change after each video. pretty cool find and much thanks to the dev who created the apps.
***tubemate is not in the market you will have to seach for it ....google tubemate apk android*****
Link to Video live wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.VLW&hl=en
Nice concept. Will try it out.
also when downloading videos make sure you download the correct resolution that fits your phone ex: dont download 1920x1080 if your phone only supports up to 720p lol
nice!, i'll play with it
I have looked around, and can't find any information in threads that are not at least a year old. I use airplayit on my ipad to stream videos stored on my desktop to the tablet and it works fairly well. However, their android app crashes on my phone when I try to add a computer for it to stream from. I also tried an app called skifta from the play store, however it crashes when I open it. I am trying to find, Ideally, one program that will work for both my ipad and my phone, but if that is not possible, just a good one for my phone would suffice.
Any ideas?
I like BS player. It has a LAN mode that you can use to stream media. It so far Plays all of my .mkv files without stutters.
I use Plex media server

Somewhat on this same note...Do any of you use p2p4u.net for streaming sports? If so, have you been able to use it on your E4GT?

This seems to be exactly what I was looking for. 5 bucks is the most I've paid for an android app, but I just might have to do it.
I for one would love to see Google do for video files what they did for music (Google Play Music). Streaming videos via your pc to phone while on the same network is a nice feature but having it in the cloud would be a plus.
I use bs player as a player, but have set up an ftp server on my home pc and navigate to it through es file explorer.

Okay in the process of trying to find an app that could stream video files as well as music & document files I came across an app called ZumoCast. This app is specifically made to run on certain Motorola devices but doing some searches here on XDA I found a patched version, installed it on my phone and thus far it works flawlessly (well almost), no widget support & album art doesn't always show up.
I haven't tried it while I'm away from home so I can't really tell you how well things would stream outside the network but in house it works great.
Attached you will find the apk & here is the link to the windows install file (sorry iOS users no support for you guys at this time)
Enjoy

Thanks. I'll have to give this a try. I was getting weird errors with plex and it didn't want to play back most of my video files for some reason
I use ES file explorer to access all my files: system, network, ftp, and cloud. They all stream flawlessly and I just play them on DICE player. Love the new popup player.
hey...
any movie maker ala iMovie
i tried magisto, but it does not take the file format that i imported.
Video format: H.264 codec, .mp4 file format
anyone know of any other app that can do this?
Just use a player with multi-codec support.
I wonder why you'd be trying to convert the video. If you're just trying to watch then I'd suggest MX Player or VLC which can play (almost) any video format.
Sorry, there are no good movie editing apps for Android. Use a PC.
androvid, vidtrim, converter pro.

i am not trying to convert the video. I am trying toedit the parts that I do not want...maybe add in some works and title or different parts of the clips. Then maybe post it online... much like what iMovie can do on an ipad

Good stuff on the android and vidtrim. Nice and fast.
Still do not have adding title or adding music. The pro version?
Movieaid looks a bit duff at first but works well tbf with titles and audio overlay capability, etc. free version limits length.
Would be good if Google whipped up a nice editor, best thing when ive been around iPads was the ease of movie making.

WeVideo?
I do regular web searches to see if anybody has developed a viable video editor / movie maker for android, and finally there's some hope.
Just came across this tonight - http://blog.wevideo.com/bid/272187/WeVideo-Launches-iMovie-Competitor-App-for-Android
It's a new app called WeVideo (just released, so it's still in BETA), and it's pitching itself as an iMovie-like editor for ANdroid, with some cloud-based features and other differences, but what's important as it appears to provide full "movie making" capabilities across various Android devices.
I just tried it out and it works well, with a few oversights like:
- No transition control
- No volume control for music tracks
- No local, uncompressed storage of published video (not that I've found anyhow)
Just for starters. But, if you don't mind using their simple theme, and don't want to include your own music, it works pretty well.
It's also nice that it supports publishing of your videos directly to YouTube, despite not exporting to sdcard etc.
I'll post this reply in a few other threads asking about better video editors for Android as well.
I'm gonna add my voice to those who wish there was a solid video editing app for android. Video apps seem to be an area where android falls down completely. Of course there are quality players, you'd be worried if their weren't but I can't help feel like there's a massive gap in the market. Is it that its just too hard to create such an app on android?

It's because editing videos is a really taxing process for computers already as it is, and any aspiring video editor requires like a billion features to be any good. It's simpler on iOS where everything is a video camera and the iPad is a kind of standard thing everyone has had. It's only within the last year or so that Android tablets are even decent like the N7, so it's not too surprising to not have any amazing editors yet. I give it another year and we'll have apps competing with iMovie.
Also it just seems way easier to use a laptop/PC to edit videos which are 99% of the time recorded on phones or separate cameras.
