[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm thanks for the info, but i think it is resized. What i did was take the jpeg's found in maxisma's dump and just adjusted each images offset so they would be centered in a 320x480 image. You guys are saying to scale down, im confused cuz the image's dimensions are 320x480 when i view its properties. Sorry, im not THAT good with animated gifs.:(
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
Oh, yes sorry, you're right..

Hmm.. then idk whats wrong.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Yea same, im intrigued as well since it is an awesome bootscreen. Will keep giving it a shot, i think it might be the bit depth or frame-rate thats messing it up.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Ugh, i still cannot get it to work, all i see is a screen that looks like your tv when the cable goes out (the black and white scribbles all over) i even tried a method where i place each frame as an image in the bootscreen and in the xml cal them each individually, still did not work. Does htc encode their gifs or something lol.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
started working on this yesterday, and will continue now. btw, the images were not scaled to 320x480 this is the g1's screen size. the images are scaled to fit the droid's screen which is 480x427 if im not mistakin. I resized every single png.. had to be 50 somethin pngs..
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Ok, tell me how it goes, as my gif is scaled down to 320 x 480 and still cant get it to work.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
yea so i had 3 diff. ideas on getting this 2 run but all of them were squashed.. if u notice, there's a bootanimation script that goes in /system/bin.

pushed it there, put bootanimation.zip (resigned w/ resized images) and changed the values in desc.txt to 320x480.. no luck. so i also looked into droid's framework-res.apk in /assets to see if they had more resources for their bootanimation but what they have there is the stock android bootanimation :confused: last but not least i took a look at the bootanimation script and noticed it calls about 10 libs which i was about to locate in the droid dump, however cm's build has these same libs too!! so i'm bummed. i think we've hit a tree.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm so did u try creating a gif out of it and trying it out on a htc build ? if u dont have a htc rom setup u cud send me the gif and i could try it out. but yea i think we've hit a tree lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm now im interested, has anyone ever managed to replace the bootscreen gif's on a htc build with a custom created gif ?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
How about editing the HTC boot.gif and placing in the droid images?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm intriguing, yes ill give that shot. Thanks ;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
K Huge progress, used the pro trial version of the gif software, i now have a booting droid screen with some messed up colors but it runs SMOOTH. Ofcourse there is a "This software was created with blah blah..." :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
adobe imageready.. google for

adobe imageready + the one click hoster you want ( rapidshare e.g.)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Aight, so if anyone has a htc build setup, try replacing one of your boot gifs with this and tell me if you also experience the discoloring issue
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] lemaj5:
I think the trial software did something wrong, because i'm getting the distortion with it when I play it with QuickTime!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm dont know why but did u try actually booting with this gif ? i think the bit-depth is too high/low...now if only this software was free as this is the only one i can edit gifs and they actually work as a bootscreen .. but once i get the color working, i can make the image larger than 320x480 and the "registered text" might be cut off. :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Ok so got the colors and everything right, now all thats left is the offset since it appears in top left corner, ne clue guys ?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
is it watermarked into the images??
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Nope...its just that most gif editors that were working once edited were paid ones :mad:

Oh wait i think you misunderstood me, that logo is not the problem , i can take care of that, its the fact that these jpgs are 256x256 hence when booting into android it appears in the top left corner instead of in center. All we need is to offset these images to the center of a 320x480 frame and we are set :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
oh ok.. why didn't u start with the images at 320x480 in the first place??
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Nah i did, so the gif i posted on the first page is 320x480. So now what i did was create png's out of each frame and create a gif. So now everything is right, except for that coffee logo at the top left :(

Heres the latest....try it out n c

Although now there is wierd distortion in the eye
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
Thats because it has not enough colors.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm yea, but in my image properties i have it at its highest which is 256, em do u have imageready setup ? i have photoshop cs4 n its not compatible with it. If u do ill send u the images all u gotta do is turn them into a gif n we're done :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
Tomorrow.. ;-)

Have to go to bed now, sorry.

Send me the images via PM please.

Oh and, there are more images in part1.. then the eye is more animated, look into it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
Here's the bootscreen i made w/ the images 320x480 and centered
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
idk what happened i upload a gif and it shows jpg. but anyways, what rom did u use to get it to boot an htc image? im on cm right now
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hmm try uploading to like tinypic.com
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
btw, i'm trying to port this to cm so i dont think a gif would work. on hero it would.. but not cm. any ideas on porting to cm?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] wigwag:
@jroid i would talkt to maxisma because he is also trying to port the boot screen to CM and is having some trouble.. maybe you 2 can come up with a solution..
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Hey, nice just a lil' distorted, as for porting to cyan it only allows a single image behind which another image runs horizontal from left to right. So thats why maxisma is trying to see if he can call the zip file like eclair does. Good luck

Link attached is a swf file that wud b perfect if i cud convert it to gif without it being so DAMN slow.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
that's what i was wondering. took a look at the animation script and saw bout 10 libs in there. but they're all libs cm has. nothing droid specific
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
finding out how droid calls to the bootanimation.zip is the 1 thing we neeeed. once we have that we're good
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] opasha:
i'm not sure exactly how .gif animations work but since you guys are looking to port to cm, will apng editors help you at all? just something i was reading over. here's a website that lets you edit png files into apngs.

http://animatedpngs.com/

the site below is where i found the information.

http://www.instantfundas.com/2009/07/4-free-tools-to-create-animated-png.html

hope this helps in some form or another. good luck!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
yea totally forgot about this. ive read about it before. we'll look into it
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
however, i believe our problem isn't the animation, it's porting it. it's easy to make a gif or apng but actually implementing it and finding out the calls within the system is the issue.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
All u guys need is an adb log ;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
great idea :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
K how does the default bootscreen in cm get called ? cant u add multiple images to show one after another which wud sorta look like an animation ?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
idk exactly how it gets called, i generated a logcat and looked through it but couldn't find where the calls for the bootscreen is. I do know that the bootscreen images are in framework-res.apk in /assets.. I was thinkin my self to add all the png's in there but i doubt that'd work.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
what we most def. need is a logcat from sholes.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Daneshm90:
Nah tht wudnt work. Well u guys shud contact cyan and ask him if he knows where in the source code its defined.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Slick619:
If I'm correct, I think android doesn't recognized GIFs. The .png are located in the system\framework\ in the framework-res.apk\assets\images, in here there are two .png. android-logo-shine.png and android-logo-mask.png
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
Hero's boot animation is a gif
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bcrook:
I asked cyanogen around the 3.9.7 time because the boot screen wasn't showing up on the 32a port I made. He told me the following

Dunno if this helps.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxisma:
In AOSP builds it's the bootanimation binary in /bin..
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jroid:
right that's what I was thinking before, i took the one from droid and pushed it in /bin, also put the bootanimation.zip in /media but still no boot. This was one of my first attempts

May I ask what program you used to save the gif...? Also if using gimp or photoshop. Resize the frame to according to want you want it and images do the same... when you save it as gif, don't click save as. Click on save for web and devices. this could be a possible reason if it comes out disorted or off... sorry if this has been done, I'm jus going off past experince with gifs and applying them to electronic devices

How to download

Is the batman theme available for download and for which mods?
[Android Themes] kurtis.austin2:
Not sure of this is the right thread, but here it goes...

There is a font that is packed in with the Market that I am able to use in ChompSMS. It found it when I did a scan for font packs. It came up as 'Market' under the package, and the font name is Storopia.

I was wondering if there is a way to get this font to use for other purposes? And I was also wondering if there is a way to change the font myself in a custom ROM I have installed on my G1.

Would appreciate any help I could get!

Thanks!

this is a screenshot of the font working in ChompSMS thanks to the apps ability to use font packs. Again, ChompSMS found this font in the Market folder somewhere. I want to use it throughout my phone but do not know how to find this font to extract it to where I need to put it.

The font is called Storopia. I guess I should also add that it is the font used for the big words in the Android Market at the top of the screen. For instance, when you first open the Android Market, up top next to the shopping bag, where it says android market, market is done in the Storopia font. Same for apps, games, and downloads when you click on those tabs.

Can someone please help me find this font??
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
i know that fonts go in /system/fonts/ .. i have a whole folder of fonts in /sdcard/fonts/ and switch them up via recovery terminal whenever i feel like :D
[Android Themes] kurtis.austin2:
awesome, thanks for that! now, how do you switch them up using recovery terminal? and do you know how i could get the Storopia font from the Market app?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
well the way i do it is that inside /sdcard/fonts/ i have the fonts in separate subfolders

then in recovery console i do:

mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/fonts/NAME_OF_FONT/* /system/fonts/
umount sdcard
umount system
reboot

i also have the original fonts in a folder in case i ever want to revert .. you can do this is in a regular terminal

cd /sdcard/fonts
mkdir orig
cp /system/fonts/* /sdcard/fonts/orig/

and then to revert the font to orig in recovery terminal you just use the code above with 'orig' in place of 'NAME_OF_FONT' :D
[Android Themes] AdrianK:
In recovery:

mount /sdcard

cp /sdcard/fonts/nameoffont/* /system/font

As for pulling a font from an apk you downloaded from the market, could be tricky. Also there are six different True Type fonts in /system/fonts which might not match what's in the font pack anyway...
[Android Themes] kurtis.austin2:
Thank you so much you guys! I have got my font changed. It isn't the font that I was looking for, but I found one online that is really close to it. Thanks for the tip also about having the fonts in multiple folders of the font file. I didn't think about that.

Thank you! You can close/delete this thread if need be!
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
append "[SOLVED]" to the title of the thread so mods can do so ;)
[Android Themes] mr.bobharris:
very helpful post man, many thanks.
[Android Themes] Uzerk:
Would you like to share that font with the class, or at least the name of the font?

Because I have been looking for that font for a few days now, and it's driving me nuts that I can't find it.. ^^

The font that i'm talking about is this one.

also seen on http://www.android.com

Realy like that font, but it seems that I can't find it >.<

How to create custom font packs

Hi,

Does anyone know how can i create a font pack?

I want to package some fonts to use from chompsms,

any idea how do i package fonts, and make them available to chompsms?

I don't have a root access and can't just put fonts in /system/fonts.
[Android Themes] str3l0k:
Found how to create a font pack

In case anyone wonders, it's as simple as creating an empty android application,

with no activities, and just add fonts under assets/fonts folder.

And that's it. Package and use. :)

After loading up a Hero ROM, just to try it out, whenever I go back to restore my Cupcake backup (Cyanogen 4.0.4), it fails. Why is this? I backed it up using Amon Ra's 1.2.2, I've flashed several Hero ROMs, mostly Modaco and EVIL's stuff. I like trying out new ROMs, but I only have one phone, I dont have the cash to shell out for a dev phone. so testing's sorta tricky.

Any help? I'm a complete and utter noob, for the record. lol.

[General Questions and Answers] feanor512:
My phone (see sig) seems to be having problems with receiving text messages. Sometimes they arrive late (ten to fifteen minutes after they're sent), or not at all. Sometimes two text messages will arrive at the same time even though one was sent ten minutes or so before the other. Sometimes the screen on my phone will turn on but I won't actually receive a message (nothing on the notification bar) even though I was sent one.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is this because of my ROM or Radio ROM or something else?
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
This has to do with your cell provider and not with the device

asked them about "when we will get the update?". Lady on the phone clearly said "we ARE going toget the update". we just have to wait little bit more.

the update is ready with them and it is the HTC HQ's call when to release the update.

DAMN! i'm sorry to hear about your scare...i kinda feel responsible, having suggested the idea!

so pls illustrate a proper step by step guide on the procedures of installin a ROM on a factory HTC touch diamond2..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
I'll be glad to. what i would then rather do is send you a private message with the steps, so that we don't clutter the forums and have snide comments from senior members about how "easy" it all is. (they ARE right, but i know the first time is scary)

i'm going partying now, but i'll be glad to send you (and any1 else who asks for a private message) step by step instructions tomorrow.

what you can do in the mean time, is have a look at which ROM you think you might want (i'll add my suggestions anyways) here:
