Here are my latest bootscreens.

Bond

Melting into Droid

Notebook Android

Apple Android

Bootscreen for you Star Trek and Android fans.

These bootscreens always have a looping part ie loading and don't loop the whole sequence as seen in this previews.

Put ZIP on to your SD card, boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup, flash zip, and enjoy. And I am not responsible if this messes up your phone in anyway. Thanks and enjoy. :D Dedicated to GBHIL for inspiration.

I can try but I have my own problems with my boot screen. No promises but I will try. Mine has a problem with the colors changing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
The both of you can send me your .gif files and/or bootscreens, I'll look at them.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I got it working. It was in my editing of the images. Thanks though.

Good job to the both of you! If you guys need any more help, I'm more than willing to lend a hand.

Thanks. Now that I got the frustration out of that one. For some reason, it took me several hours to rework the dang thing using a couple of programs. But now that I have the hang of it, I'll be making more. Ideas?

I'll see what I can do. ;)

Only a Mod can decide if your thread should be stickied. Your thread should have high importance, be concise and noob friendly, and have universal information which all users can turn to. Also, there is already another thread that has fulfilled the "bootscreen" category, which can be found HERE

You should look in the Android Development thread. Also, are you wanting the side-by-side lock screen or the rotatory one... or a different one altogether?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I never said "stickied". I wanted it to be put in the sticky since I would be making a ton of these in the future. There's a section in the sticky for bootscreens which can be found here. And others can have theirs put up there so there is a central location for everyone's work. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Wow. The link you just mentioned, plus what I mentioned earlier AND the 2.1 Catalog thread -- seems like there's too many places for people distribute there stuff. Well, I guess people will just have to choose.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
If people would get the mods to put it in the top post wouldn't get lost and cluttered up. So, now if someone wants a bootscreen, they just look there and there ya go! :D

Problems flashing using DamageControl 2.08.1

Hey All,

When I try to flash any of these boot screens, I get an error that says can't open /sdcard/MeltingIntoDroid.zip (bad) Installation Aborted.

I'm running DamageControl 2.08.1 and recovery image 1.62.

All of these boot screens look great, I just wish I could get one to work. Anyone else have similar issues?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I don't know why it would be doing that. They all flash for me. I was using DC 2.08.1 when I made most of them. I don't know if this would be the problem or not, but do you have a bootanimation.zip in /system/media?

When I get home after work and after Lost is over, I will make a new update.zip for you and PM it to you.

Edit: er I see that you tried all of them now. lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] FutureDad:
Yeah, I do have the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media directory. I read that I have to delete it, but it says it's read only and I cannot move it or delete it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] FutureDad:
Update

Ok, so I found out the the .zips I downloaded were corrupt. As I downloaded them from my phone and moved them with Astro to the SD Card. Something must have happened to the files.

So I downloaded them again and was able to flash them.

But now I have a new problem...lol...the custom bootscreens never show up. I can flash them successfully, but the stock screen is still showing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
Does Astro have a remount command? R/W? I use a paid file manager called Root Explorer. It's a dollar. And WELL worth it. It lets you have write permissions.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
Here's how you delete the animation zip via command prompt

Open command prompt and find your AndroidSDK/tools folder. Assuming your have downloaded the SDK.

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media
rm bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] FutureDad:
Ohhhh. adb remount is what I was forgetting.

Thanks so much for your help...and for developing these bootscreens!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ditg:
In many nag lists on negatives on the hd2 (or WM (65)) one mentions the Lack of Applications compared to Android or Iphone.

The challengers argue that the mass of iphone apps are doubles tripples quads.....etc.

in an attempt to make things concrete; Let's list what apps are really missing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nafi33:
Games with quality:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fantasytozi:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
1. Dropbox

2. Viper Smart Start

3. Quality fun quick games to play when you're bored.

4. Lots of other things I can't think of right now..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DennisCSUF:
Sports score something that can give u in real time NFL, Baseball, Basketball, NCAA, scores in real time with score boxes etc Sportacular comes to mind

Something to track UPS, USPS, Fedex packages (Deliveries on iPhone for example)

Tip calculator

Something similar to qTweeter where it allows you to update facebook/tweeter

Before anybody calls me an Apple fanboy I love my HD2. I came from an iphone 2g/3G 16 gig and will never go back but it is lacking a few apps!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phenomenon:
It really is. I hate how everyone refuses to acknowledge and do anything about this (both Microsoft and HTC). Fact is, I just think either the programming part of it or business part of it just fails to impress any of the programmers. They decided to either do iPhone apps or Android apps. NOW Windows is coming out with WM7, a new way or programs and it's just throwing a wrench into the system of all the past windows mobile phones. Seriously, who monitors this **** and just says "it's ok, do it".
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pull007:
i love my hd2 more than my iphone just because of the big screen... but its lacking of apps is a major letdown...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
OP... you are looking at it entirely wrong.. its not about what specific apps it is missing....its about being able to get a specific app at any given time whenever it is that i please.... The Apple Store and Android Open Source Market provides this... Whereas Windows fails sooo hard in that category... There really is no argument... and anyone that defends windows position in this... is either EXTREMELY easily satisfied (like 5 yr old satisfied) or just so blind and ignorrant that they fail to see the obvious truth...

i happen to be one of the users that go onto the windows market and other markets thats surfaced on my hd2 and simply "browse" for cool/ interesting apps that might be fun to check out or play with... I rarely go in with a direct set on initiative to download a specific app... nor do i know of any that does so... its usually browsing the selection.. and that is what we are all talking about... the selection... being able to download something whenever it is we feel like it..

yea??

please don't bring something like this up again in these forums... its bad enough that as a windows mobile user and FAN, you make me go and praise the opposing OS's... but i'm not arrogant to facts... i simply tell it like it is...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Peew971:
There are a couple of these on Marketplace, best one for me being ezytip; more than does the job... Otherwise I agree with everyone else, apps are missing no question about that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dio62000:
I think ditg asks a very reasonable (good) question. The answers some people come up with are -don't take this personally- pathetic. All I read is there's a lack of games, apps that actually ARE on the market (tip calculator for instance, how many do you want?) and 'and lots of other stuff'. You have to look further than just Marketplace. There are many sites on the internet that offer apps, free or not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ajt320:
The only real difference as I see it, is that IPhone apps are aggregated to one place namely ITunes whereas WM apps are all over the place though XDA probably comes close to a "marketplace" for WM apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
you obviously took it a little too seriously... nor did you understand... yes.. i know that i can find app all over the internet.... but what the anroid market and apple store does is offer everything in a convienant location... sure.. call it what you want.. but something so simple like that is a pretty big thing... it's in one simple,easy to access location, organized, and REASONABLY priced... whether it be free or a couple bucks...

its just overall better...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
lol if you want to be smart about it.... you did ask for my opinion........:confused:

but yea.. try not to take my sarcasm too far... although my initial thoughts and points stay true and valid... i respect your views... but come on... who are we kidding.... although not everything is "black" or "white" if you compare our selection/market to the other OS's, the answer is kinda apparent...

but hey.. to each his own...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dio62000:
The iPhone is a phone and it has it's own operating system, it's own apps and it's own store. Windows Mobile isn't a phone, it's an operating system that a lot of phone manufacturers use. That's why you can find apps all over the internet and not in just one store. I do understand, but I doubt it's a benefit putting apps in one store. Sounds to me a bit like phone-communism :D.

why????........................

maybe not directly... and obviously not in the exact words... but he posted a topic in a forum.. stating some opposing views... now while he did not directly ask for it... it was an open ended "agreement" that he was willing to hear what others had to say about the commen t that he just made.... fair?

If you don't like WM you will not buy an HD2.

if you want your lowend user lollypop buy an Iphone.

if you are a though one that like to put your hands in deep s**t to see how thing really works then HD2 is the truth.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dio62000:
Well, I agree, but that's not the topic. I'm sure there are a lot of other topics about the advantages or disadvantages of the iPhone or WM.

So... any important apps we need on WM that aren't yet available?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:

i dont think anyone here stated that they don't like WinMo... It's the marketplace that has the issues...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wish34:
I blame piracy and microsoft for the lack of windows mobiles apps and game development. the iphone has an advantage as its apps are much cheaper to buy because developers know there gone sell in volume.

The same cant be said for winmo stuff.. usually its much more expensive so many resort to piracy, the developers then sell in much lower volumes... so are less inclined to produce the goodies, also because of the differences in many winmo devices its harder to develop apps that are compatible with all winmo phones. I believe this is why MS has delveloped winmo 7. it will solve some ot the problems and there should be more better apps and games...

BUT None of us will like the closed OS ...You cant have your cake and eat it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] eshd:
My point is,

the Iphone is a tool for people with simple minds:

"look what I have". They don't need serious applications,

they need lots of always new programs which are good for nothing.

Microsoft has a extremely good developing tool for PPC (VisualStudio).

And with

http://www.codeproject.com/

and

microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer

we have good communication placees to share developing experiences.

But:

the developing of PPC-programs has almost stopped

(look at Code Project).

Even good old programs are not updated any longer.

Why?

One reason is, professional programs need something like an exact

and fast working stylus or (software-)cursor.

Without it, the HD2 is more or less a tool like the Iphone.

And people will blame it.

For me personally, disappointed the NHL.com app will not be out until after WM7 is out (NHL.com lists it as due out some time next season)

iPhone has it's NHL.com app out and being advertised, too a hockey nut like myself I find it pretty frustrating not to be able to get it on my HD2 :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ditg:
It seems to me that we dont all talk about the same when we say 'Lack of Apps".

I have not seen anybody thus far that has a "serious" need that can not be adressed with their HD2. This doesnt mean that all others are freaks who have to much free time to play around.... apparently there is a big 'need' for endless choice, comparable to my wife's shopping habits, stroll, stroll, look, look, and coming home with always something not really neccesary but with the predictable result of a drain on the visa account. I cannot relate to that but does that make it less 'usefull', fun, enjoyable...valuable in the end?

i'm not judging.... its just 2 different things i think.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anrabi4:
Please stop.

People's needs differ from one to another. While I need a cool interface, someone needs a tip calculator and somebody else needs a NHL.com app. Cool interfaces can be easily found and there are lots of them, so that is definetly a YES. There are a couple (or maybe more) tip calculators, so that is a more or less YES. NHL.com still hasn`t got an app going for the HD2, so that is a NO. Can I limit to these things and decide that HD2 hasn`t got enough apps?

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn`t. It depends purely from which point of view you approach the problem.

P.S.: iTunes is older than Marketplace, thus you can`t expect Marketplace to be as rich and performant as iTunes.

So my answer is: NO, there is NO lack of good apps for HD2/WinMo - there are also a couple of good games for fun during spare time. BTW: I haven't bought my HD2 to play Crysis or sth. like this on it...

When i had the iPhone i was able to buy apps here in Norway from the first day the appstore opened, on the windows phone marketplace i am able to buy software but there is a total of 37 apps here. On Android marketplace i cant buy apps only download free ones. So if apps is what people want which phone do you think they wil buy in Norway ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trondkk:
I don't know if its just on my HD2 but I can choose the country of choice in the 'Settings' of Windows Phone Marketplace and can download both free and retail apps in abundance when I choose United States. Have you tried that?

And if you havent tried Omarket (the Freewarepocketpc version of Marketplace only that all apps are free) I would recommend trying this too!

I really don't understand why people are complaining about there not being many quality apps for Windows Mobile...

I have no problems finding apps for my hd2 but i'm just trying to se it from the average customers perspective, you can't expet the average customer to dig all over the internet for their apps.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dornstar:
The problem is not necessarily finding an equivalent app. It's the quality of the apps.

For instance, I'm a runner and on Android, there's tons of apps that record your runs. The competition led to some really cool apps like Cardio Trainer with Run Against Yourself where you race against previous runs. It's an amazing app that made me a better runner and I could compete against thousands or other runners. Now, on the HD2, you can find apps like SportyPal that will record your workout, but that's it. There's nothing remotely close to what was available on Android or even iPhone.

The list of overpriced, under-performing or poorly designed WM apps is endless and it's a shame because bare bones, I prefer WinMo to Android or the iPhone OS.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] acegolfer:
After using Android on Touch for 2 months, I'm convinced that my next phone will be an Android phone. Now I need to convince my family members who want Iphone. Nobody has either Android phone or iphone at the moment.

I'm using Touch as a proxy for Android phone and my wife uses Ipod Touch as a proxy for Iphone. Unfortunately, it is obvious that Itouch blows Android Touch in terms of UI, speed and stability.

So my question is are android phones such as Droid, Incredible offer much more speed and stability (no FC) than Touch? I want to hear first hand experience rather than spec comparisons.
