Animated wallpapers for TF3D2.5

I have found the animated wallpapers which are located in the Windows/Animated Wallpaper, there are currently three, _RAW_Light.png, _RAW_Brush.png and _RAW_Circle.png.
These are in some way linked by a Cache file.
I can create animated png files (apng) the easiest way is via the firefox plugin.
Save them out as a single png and place them into the folder in Windows as above, but they don't work...
Anyone had any luck ?

That is because the animation is not in the .png file. It is in the Manila files. The file you are looking at is just the background/preview of the animation. If you look at the backgrounds, some parts of the animation overlap parts of manila while others are underneath it, and such cannot be done with a simple animation. These are scripted animations.

Is there already anything like backgroud for all Tabs, just for animated wallpaper?

just wanted to subscribe and kick this up again.
Realy want to use this instead of the sometimes laggy weather animations

Need help with Wallpapers

Got my new Desire and i have a problem, i want to set a wallpaper that i have but problem is i can only drag the box to like half of the actual wallpaper size which is 480x800 so no fun getting half of the image only.. is there a setting for this?

You need to make your wallpapers 960*800

You need to make your wallpapers 960*800

eh what ? that cant be right, then all images will look really weird and stretched out..

the wallpapers are landscape and spread across all 7 screens. 960*480 sounds about right to me, being that the old 3 screen wallpapers were 640*480.....
you can not have a portrait wallpaper. Just not how android works.

960 by 800 works for me just fine. Not streched or weird.

Shut down animation

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

Best regards!!

Wow... complex animation...
Why not save as single Pictures... then convert all single Pics in your resolution...
Then make animated GIF with new sized Pics.
Best Regards

nice idea, thank you and keep it good work

[BOOT ANIMATION] *UPDATED* Grey/Black Custom Jelly Bean Boot Animation

I'm loving Jelly Bean and wanted to make a simple boot animation to celebrate it's awesomeness. This is what I came up with while I was supposed to be working:
*UPDATE* Added a black background version.
Grey Background: JB Nexus Boot Animation
Black Background: JB Black Bootanimation
Just change the filename to bootanimation.zip and drop it in the /data/local directory. As with anything else, I'm not responsible for any breakage your phone may incur by using these files.

Is it compatible with 3.7 inch screen 480x854 res ??

Not sure. The animation is set to use a 720x1280 resolution, but the actual images are only 360x720 (smaller resolution seems to run better) and it's just scaled up when it plays. Theoretically it should work, but I can't say 100%. Unfortunately, I don't have a phone with that resolution to test with.

Very nice. The only thing that I would request is that the back ground be black instead of grey. Other than that a great job.

yeah please, work on black version

I'll see what I can do. Not sure how good it'll look with the jelly beans having the black outline though.

Sorry it took so long. Between work, and the little girl teething...I haven't had much time to work on things. I've added a version of this animation with a black background instead of grey. Enjoy!
