I love me some .gifs!
Sadly, the Gallery app does not. Well, atleast animated .gif files. I will not tolerate this!
So, that got me thinking... Is it possible to make .gif files animated in my gallery without the need for a custom firmware or any of that gobbledegook?
What if, someone were to get the Gallery app's apk and modify it to be able to display animated gif files? Then Nexus 4 users could install that apk and just disable the gallery apk that came with the device.
Just a thought. I'm sure there's ways to make animated gif files work, but this could be a better, easier way to do it, if it is possible.
If someone wants to develop this, I'll gladly pay for them to do so.
Cheers

Thanks for the post,
Quickpic looks like a great app, I just wish it was called Gallery, and had its icon. Is it possible to modify the quickpic apk and change the app name and icon?

The dilemma is that Android doesn't quite support .gif playback, so this functionality has to be coded on other "dirty" ways.
Third party apps may be able to playback gifs using such methods, but this playback won't be as efficient until strong gif support is incorporated into Android.
Yea Ive been using QuickPic and it plays gifs with no problems.

Wassup everybody,
Im here looking to see if anybody knows if there is any app that has HD wallpapers that fit well on the G2 withouth having it look a little weird or too close to the wallpaper picture. I know there is a lot of HD wallpaper apps in the market but, the thing is it all says the same but end up having wallpapers with high resolution or something that once you apply it as your background the wallpaper looks a little bit different but in a bad way like all... too close or not perfect idk how to explain it. But what I'm looking for is a wallpaper app that shows the wall papers full hd with the right fit and resolution just like the ones that are put in the Cyanogen mod wallpapers and that comes with the phone. Or if there's anyway I can edit the large pictures myself, meaning size and etc, please let me know thanks...

I use HD wallpapers. Free on Market. Has a good selection.
Zedge is a good wallpaper/ringtone/notification app. Not really sure how HD the wallpapers are, but they look great on my G2.

Why do you even need to do that? You can crop just about any photo in your gallery for use as wallpaper within Android.
Alternately, you can use most any photo manipulation software on your desktop computer to scale/crop the image to 960x800, then copy it to your phone. If you don't have any such software, GIMP is a good, free, open-source one.

just looking for some siiick wallpapers for this phone? also what launchers have you guys found to have the best ones? i have zeam, t.w, go, and was using adw go but couldnt really figure out how to use it.. :/
My favorite wallpapers are definitely the ones in the Galaxy Pack from Maxelus.net. It's not very expensive and it has 7 customizable wallpapers, or you can get the free galaxies from Maxelus. Those being Ice Galaxy, Inferno Galaxy, Shadow Galaxy, and Vortex Galaxy.
I still haven't been able to find a favorite launcher but I do like SPB Shell 3D. Unfortunately it costs like $15 but you can find it somewhere.
thanks homie!
the zedge app in the market has tons of wallpapers and ringtones and notification sounds
Zedge is an awesome app.

I personally use ICS wallpapers because they look super sexy

www.wallbase.cc has some awesome HD wallpapers.
I suggest launcher pro, and get your wallpapers off Google.com or Zedge
Btw you can get the pro key form like 4shared or applanet
I usually just do a search in google images. lol. Occasionally i find some very cool ones.

Just to let everyone know, Flikie Wallpapers HD uses AirPush ad network which pushes ads to your notification bar.
I usually check out interfacelift when I am looking for new wallpapers
Sent from my SPH-D710
I have found the best way is you just search google. Go to google images. Pick the exact resolution for your wallpaper. It is 980x800 for the Home Screen and 480x800 for the lockscreen. And just search for whatever you want. Chances are you will find it. And it will be free.
I am 99% sure on the sizes but if someone could confirm that for me it would be great.
They got removed in the last update. I ran addons detector and it didn't show up under the push notification section.

Fair enough, I must have had the old version that still included them. If they did choose to get rid of them, then that's great
Yeah,I'm sure better wallpaper apps are out in the market....I'm just to lazy to look.

Hey, I'm just looking for a widget like My Library that you can point to a folder full of apps, and it'll generate a nice looking tile launcher widget for them. Is there anything like this?
Thanks
Edit: Extra points if it'll change the size of each app's tile based on usage.
I use folder enhancer to create specific app widgets

Im looking for the same thing
that would be pretty nice. i haven't seen/heard of anything like this though.
i used to use desktop visualizer to give a similar look to this. i am also sure you can get UCCW to do this as well, by adding game images in a "grid" and applying a hotspot to the images to open up the corresponding apps.
Let me know if anyone makes something like this!

Here are the NERV icons ripped right from the MAGI Home Launcher of the Docomo SH-06D NERV phone.
I"ll add the Eva Framework and SystemUI .png files soon too.
*Update -
To clear up any confusion, here is the link for the system folder of the SH-06D Nerv
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=148780&uk=1563022666
Alright here are the Framework-res and SystemUI from the SH-06D NERV phone..extracted from their apks and rezipped so the files can be used to replace the .png files your phones Framework-res and SystemUI.
If you don't know how to replace .png on your phone I DO NOT suggest you do so.
Here is the Boot animation from the SH-06D. Install as you would any other Bootani. If you don't know how that is done, Check out Kevinrocks post. I don't have the means to record it booting up on my phone so here's the link to see what the ani looks likes. Enjoy. oh and the resolution is matched for the Note 2 (720x1280)

Well I will try to get these included in a build for you. No promise that it will work but I will give it a shot. How about the launcher and widgets do you have them posted some where? Or maybe even a link to the original rom?
The only part of the original Rom that is available is the root system folder...it's on the Nexus 4 forum...I already have the Widgets working on my phone...I've pushed over the framework and the system ui.. the only thing not working is Magi.
バカバカバカ！
I went to your xda profile and found all your posts so i have everything now. I was thinking about adding it to my source build of mahdi. To get the magi launcher working will probably require major modification of the apk. I have not done much of that before but will give it a shot.
I watched the video and tried the widgets. Personally i dont like them but i wanted a new challenge.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The Widgets are hit or miss with people...I've seen magi work on 2 devices.. a Huwei and a Nexus... but no information on how they got it working. I do know it requires the 3D drivers from the original phone...so removing that requirement should make it work...I don't want to test it on my phone. Trying to get my hands on another device that I can just use for testing.

We're very close to getting Magi Home working. Should have it up soon

I've noticed that the screen selector view does not work properly on 4.3 roms..If any dev is interested in making a NERV Rom for the Note 2, please let me know. As of now, I'm running the launcher, widgets and a few various apps from the ICS build of the Official NERV Rom on top of the Swampmonster Rom...The color scheme for that Rom matches up with MAGIHome and the Magi Widgets quite nicely.

Launcher is posted on here...it works, though on some roms the polytope does not show up. If you could build a Rom around the Nerv system folder, That would be very awesome. Having an issue with some JB versions stopping the widgets from updating. Tried changing their oom values with superchargerV6, but they still crap out. This wasn't an issue on 4.3, but on 4.3 Magi wouldnt display properly. maybe you could sort it all out

Only DPI I've tried it on was 320...now i've seen it work proper on AOKP 4.4, but when I tried it it was a no go..
The device was a Galaxy Nexus. Here's a video of it running.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VTM6E_rgJA
Here is a quick setup on beanstalk. Only issue is when you add widgets you have to choose widgets option and not nerv widgets or it will fc. I will play with getting all the icons added in. Also I had to set doi as 300 not 320 but that is due to using the nav bar.

The Google stock gallery app is on apkmirror
I'm using the Sony album apk
i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.focus&hl=en

Leafpic is the best I've found
Just a heads up, the mods will tell you this thread should have gone to the Q&A subforum because it's a "question" even thought it's a question about an app.
I'll recommend QuickPic too. It may be called CyanogenMOD Gallery or something now (in some places).
Been using quickpic since android 5 as my default gallery. Does the job well.
