I had an idea for a boot animation. You know how when you go to a movie and it starts out with the countdown in old black and white, but then the film seems to melt away revealing a modernized version of the countdown with all sorts of special effects? it is similar to this,

But starts at 10 and the film melts around 7 or 6 and also seems to slow down. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Also there are some sweet sound effects.

I don't know how to edit with the app, but this is what I meant:

I'm not the sharpest bulb in the drawer.

thatd be sweet....i have no idea how to make boot animations but would easily use something like this if someone made it!
Yeah, with the sound effects as well, but instead of it saying dolby digital at the end, it could say HTC G2 or Desire Z.
That would be sick!
I vote for this, that would be so, excuse my French, Fu**ing awesome.
Ill give it a try when I get some time if no one beats me to it. Would be nice if it faded to android instead of dolby at the end. See what I can do, no promises, ive only done a few boot animations.

give it a try dude, we will all appreciate it! ive never done one cuz im a noob so u wont hear me critiquing!
Umm from what I remember a boot animation is easy to make but a video needs to be made first then the boot animation

I just plan on using mplayer in the terminal to turn the video into 100+ png files and extract the audio to mp3. Then I will crop the images to 480x800. I also plan on removing the dolbly frames at the end. I would like to incorporate an android at the end? I want to keep the sound with it. I have the audio boot animation right now, I will see how it works out. I will posy my results. Might take me about a week between work, school, and my wife and kids its hard to find spare time.
I have the animation built, I am trying to reduce the size of the png files. There are 180 files and it runs too slow at the moment. I will keep trying. I'm not very good with large batch operations, learning as I go.
+1 for this. I really like!
Try setting the framerate lower than standard video which is usually 30fps lower it to about 1/2 and see how it runs.. then export it. Open all the files in photoshop and batch process them using "save for web" as png to get the file size down

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
So, how is it about this nice idea ?
I am having a hell of a time trying to get these png files to a size that will properly boot. My end zip is always around 71 mb. Anyone care to enlighten me on a easy way to batch modify 150 png files to a smaller size. I'm running linux mint and using grub, ffmpeg, and mplayer to try this. Maybe there is an easier way?
I would have done it on Photoshop with a batch but on linux...
Brian, it would be so sick if u got this working! I'm sorry, i can't help with anything cuz everything i read in your last few posts and others just blew my mind away! Lol! Noob here! Good luck, and a donation will definitely come your way if it works out!

Does anyone Find that the carousel feature on sense 3.0 isn't sensitive enough? HTC came into work to demo the latest phones and I realized how easy its intended to be to get into this mode. I want to try work on a fix but I'm not sure where to start. The first thing to work out is if just controlled in the Rosie APK or could it be to do with screen sensitivity controled in another file.
If anyone has any knowlage about this it would be greatly appreciated
Try Hamdirs Rosie
Easy, looks good in slow motion

I'll have a look at this in the morning. I intended this to be more of a development thread as I intend to be able to work this into something to include in a rom. would be a good addition to the dev forums. Its so much easer to use on devices like the evo 3d and sensation xl, We should be able to change this with a bit of knowledge about the coding
Why?
Its only 5 screens, and all it does is spin you back to the same screen you were on. I don't want mine more senstive than it is really, otherwise it will be kicking off at random when I don't need it.
Sense 3.5 and Sensation based roms such as Virtuous Unity 2.39 seem to have much more sensitive carousels (1 full screen slide = spin). Its just the official HTC RUU 3.06.405.1 roms such as Revolution that have really difficult to spin carousels.
I'm pretty used to using the carousel to spin 3-4 screens, even though its probably slower... (But at least its just a full swipe and a tap, instead of 4 half slides)

Its 7, and even on sensitive roms such as VU and sense 3.5 roms, its pretty difficult to activate without trying as you have to slide around 75% of the screen somewhat quickly.
Hi, I have a question, is it possible to display the weather lookscreen as in the screenshot
if so, how?
Nope, that's full sense 4, the v only has lite
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA
In the weather settings, you can select the option for 'Weather alerts - Show weather on lock screen every morning' which I've found will appear the first time you access the phone after 6am each morning, but doesn't appear to be any other options to get it on your lockscreen permanently

Yup I have done the same... I think HTC One V is not capable of showing wheather animations.
it's sad ... as one v does not support the full sense 4? ie on this phone is not a complete sense? complete requires more resources from phone? Why so?

sense 4 is designed more for a phone with better gpu such as one S or one X. that's why sense 4 was not released until this ONE series. it's a shame but I guess that in time when one V will have some developers, a full sense will appear for you guys and it will work flawlessly no matter what HTC was thinking when they strip to bone the sense for one V.
I will buy this phone in one month I can't wait !
Just wait a little longer until we have cwm recovery and some interested devs. We'll get an overclock kernel and a full sense 4 port from either the one s or one x.

yeah. One V will benefit from devs from X and S which is awesome (I can think one kernel dev from one X - currently on hero - riemer, but he said that kernels will differ from one x or one s to one v)... Full sense will be possible on One V also, it just needs a custom recovery. Anyone can do a port if he has patience and the right tools. If I get the phone I will more than sure get my hands full to make some ports...
certainly not true that one v cut a functional sense, most likely because the model is not the flagship, but we will wait custom firmware for our developers in the near future with a full sense
Interesting that sense 3.6 on the sensation has some features that are missing on sense 4 on the one v.
This ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Will put full lockscreen sense on its next version. So just wait
yep, but i can't download this rom from uploading.com
there are also normal exchangers, why is this? waiting for the mirror

In this rom the weather lock screen is ported from HC ONE X.
Can someone port this to stock rom?
As you already know, LWPs pause on scroll if you use the Sense launcher so I had to use Apex Launcher when showing my phone off to friends
LWPs are probably not a big deal for many people but they're one of the reasons I love Android so it sucks that I can't really use them with Sense 4. Some say it's a bug but I personally think it's the way Sense is designed to work.
If any devs are reading this, could you please shed some light on how hard it is (or if it is possible at all) to fix/mod Rosie so that LWPs don't pause like that? Thanks!
As I've said earlier in an other thread like this:
Gormsen said:
I mailed HTC about this, and after some time they mailed me back saying that the problem was sent to their development in Taiwan for further investigation and to find out if the problem can be solved with an update. I can give you a copy of the mails, but it's in danish

So at least HTC is aware about the problem. I have also read somethere that to pausing/freezing is due to the fact that Sense uses the same resources as the live wallpaper an therefore it freezes when switching between homescreens.

I'm not sure its totally Sense. The AT&T One X doesn't have that problem. It's weird.

Okay so, if HTC made it easy, I would have the answer for this or at least a way of asking them about it. Maybe someone reading this can help.
My M8 is still pretty boss in the line of HTC flagship phones, but I am not thrilled with most of the user-created themes that currently exist for download. I just spent a few hours designing a kick-ass theme using their new web browser-based Theme Maker Pro (Google it, because I can't post the link). I am so proud of it, that I published it for review to share with others on the Themes app.
Unfortunately, when I downloaded the theme from the Themes app onto my phone, there are missing elements. My main home wallpaper won't show, nor does the custom All Apps button. Now here's the kicker. The Great 'Maker' allowed me to upload a super high-res photo to divide into three home screen panels, which no theme currently has on my phone. Likewise, no theme currently has a custom All Apps button either. Not to mention, I've never even heard of wallpaper "stickers" which the Maker required me to create as well.
So, my conclusion is that the whole new Themes Maker is geared towards the new line-up of phones- the M9/10. But what's they got that I don't got?! I know my M8 is updated to the latest *Sense 7* and Lollipop. So, why won't these elements appear? They should say this on the themes website as well.
Can anyone help me out with this? My obsession isn't healthy I know, but that theme took a long ass time to make!

Ah. Well, its not worth it for me to do anything unofficial since I have Verizon. Sure hope they roll out 8 soon, although Lollipop took forever to come to the M8.
