I have actually begun an animation with two androids smashing the windows mobile logo into the xdandroid logo. But i couldn't make it look good enough so i stopped working on it. But i'm still thinking of finishing it, i just have to work out how to do it and make it look good enough.

Thanks for the input!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] _-1g1-_:
Wow all your Animation are awesome :-O

But I think this is my favorite :)

Cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
I put an article on the front page to see if it would help get some more entries... It's a very broad project so this way it won't be limited to being seen only by people reading the Raphael forums.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] thedicemaster:
little question, can i submit an animated png as boot animation?

it's easiest to make for me without quality loss, but most image viewers/editors can only load the 1st frame.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lilchicano:
Well that sure did worked on getting my attention. Im not very skilled at making animations and stuff but i think i would be able to toss out an idea for someone to try to mess around with.

What im thinking is having the apple logo (or windows logo) starting the animation while the android comes and kicks it to a trash can or a toilet or something.

Hope that helps spark and idea for some of you higher skilled animators out there and good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
thanks ben_duder ;)

Hopefully we'll get some more entries.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
I think babijoee would prefer each frame as a separate png.

@babijoee

It might be an idea to clarify in the first post that it should be in landscape rather than portrait because of the animation size issue we were having...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
Will the instructions HERE work for us to use with these .gifs?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ElCondor:
Lol I'm joining now, will post some animations soon!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Don't think so, as you can't connect your phone to ADB as USB doesn't work yet.

@ElCondor

Looking forward to seeing your work :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
I meant copying it to the SD card, adding a .bak on the end of the current bootanimation.zip, and copying over the new one to the system/media folder. However, it seems like none of the file managers I have will allow me to rename it. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
Just wanted to point out that the system folder is in the system.sqsh, which is read only. Search the forums for StaySafe if you want to make your system.sqsh a writeable system.ext2.

P.S. This is my number 1 thing I help people with; I've probably said it at least 5 times. I don't know much else. :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
Oh, yeah, I knew that. >.< Thanks for reminding me, it's been a long week.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
LOL :)

You're much more helpful than that... I've seen you giving advice around here many a time. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
New animation with a few more flying androids. This time with jet packs...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Definitely a good animation... keep up the great work! I still think that the drunken 'droid is my fav tho :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] JesusFreak316:
Aww, thanks. ;)

I just want to say everything so far has been fantastic. I also believe it would be great if we could choose from among a few of the animations. I can't pick just one. :p Oh, and Babijoee, you might want to make a note that the system folder is read-only because it is a squashfs file system. I know that would have helped me early on and probably many others. I know you would prefer not to switch the system over to an ext2 system, but could you at least make a note about it on the first post and possibly link to the StaySafe app that converts your system.sqsh to system.ext2?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Oooh, jet packs! :D

I really like it, but I think it would be even better if you could pause on one of the Androids for a few frames as it's not that obvious what they are (I mean like you did with the first 'flying Android' one).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] khatta:
Here is a little effort at creating a wallpaper. Feel free to use it even it doesn't qualify for nomination. If requested, I can provide different sizes.

Feel free to make comments/recommendations, and I will try to incorporate if possible. This is just a small contribution from myself to the community that is doing an awesome job on this port.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ElCondor:
Noticed too late that it has to be landscape.. will cancel this one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
I can have a go at fixing the resolution for you if you don't have the time... its a shame not to see what you've come up with because I really like the stuff you design :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ElCondor:
It's nice to hear that, but to rotate it, you'll have to make the animation from scratch again. Here's the animation though, only contains 40 frames or so, so doesn't fit the criteria at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
it does. its just 120 frames max
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Wait a minute! I thought the maximum limit was 100 frames! If we have 120 frames it gives a few more opportunities.

Btw if you decide to use one of my animations please let me know if you want any changes and i'll incorporate them before you add the animation to your next release.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Actually it can be as many as you want. I think i'll let the quantity be up to the people who create it. ;)

ps: your boot animation is awesome in new build.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Ok, cool! Then i'll make my coming animations as long as they "need" to be. but i'll try to keep them as short as possible for size reasons.

Thanks! It does actually look kind of cool, doesn't it? Thanks for choosing my animation! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
You are providing high quality boot animation and they interact with the Android quite some bit. Hope to see more work like this from you and hopefully from others.

We still need some wallpapers people!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
I can't decide if these are semi-decent or just outright crap, but here you go :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
heres my 2 cents

the text is blurry and the background is pixelated :p

If you can improve those it would look nice
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
The blur was deliberate :p I'll have a look at the pixelation... WVGA looks better than VGA right now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Well, its been a long time since i produced something and here's my newest animation. But it's 200 frames long, perhaps too long.

Anyway, i'll add an paintbucket and a brush to the android tomorrow. Perhaps that improves things.

Hope you enjoy this one. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
That is (once again) amazing! Great work! I hope you keep making animations for the community, you could do some great ones for WM too :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
+1 awesome work lugiber :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
eh thats flipping cool. i like it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Thanks guys! :)

Here's the updated version where the android has a brush and paintbucket. Not sure it improves much though, i probably should have spent the time on my next animation instead.

@benduder

I actually dislike windows pretty much, wish i didn't have to use it. I'm running android and linux 24/7 so i don't think i'll make any windows animations. Sorry. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] AkumaMax:
Not bad I kinda like that.:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] AkumaMax:
Though of another idea. It might be a little hard to make or might take too much space. What about a android guy in a bulldozer plowing down the WinMO sign and then have an XDANDROID sign tied to the back and when he finishes plowing the sign down he stops in the middle with the sign! Maybe have a quote even saying "ahh that's the stuff" or "Much better":D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Well, with froyo coming up i thought it was time for another boot animation.

Unfortunatly this one got way to large (around 19mb).

But if there is interest in making this one a boot animation for at future release i can try and cut some corners to reduce the size. If that is the case just let me know.

Because of the large size i'm only putting the lowres gif online. If you want the full png sequence just let me know and i'll make it available to you online somehow.

@babijoee I guess you're the one making the decisions on which boot animation to use. If you have any requests on making an animation shorter, longer, changing the logo, or color changes... Or whatever... Just let me know, changes are really easy to make. :)

Good luck with froyo!

EDIT: corrected some poor spelling...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
I think you'll appreciate my latest animation. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
I LOVE it!!!! I will throw it on my MediaFire account for people if you want?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
I've just realised that there aren't many downloads from this thread, so i can just put the png zip file on my webpage.

Here's the link:

http://www.kahn.nu/Action_Droid-finished.zip
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ben_duder:
Loving the animation (again...)! Maybe you should have a go at some wallpapers. You working on 'Kahn: The Movie'?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Yes, i've been thinking about doing some wallpaper stuff. But it's really not my thing. Perhaps i'll have a go at it.

Yeah, been working (and doing all the work at) khan for about ten years(!) now. It's a crap movie, but when you've been working for so long at something you can't just quit. That would let too many people down.

Anyway, it's finished now and we're just working at finding the right festival to show it at. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Sorry, missed your reply.

Thanks for the offer, i really appreciate it!

But i've put the file on my webserver. I get about 40 downloads per boot animations i produce and that's not very much. It will not make too much impact on the bandwidth of my server. So i'll keep the files there for a while.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] AkumaMax:
I love it. Just had a flash of "Say hello to my little friend".:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Signo371:
Well, I was interested in helping and I see that we still need wallpapers so here is my contribution. It is subtle and doesn't distract from the OS. I would like comments and suggestions on these. I can pretty much change anything in it so feel free to criticize.

There are two different resolutions and two different formats of each (png and jpeg). Enjoy.

BTW, looks great as my bg in Android on my Fuze and as my WM background on my HD2.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
looks nice :)

thanks for sharing
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Btw i have noticed that the boot animation is kind of choppy.

If someone has any idea on how to make it run smoother please let me know and i'll make the necessary changes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Could you add more frames into the current xdandroid boot animation. Upto any limit you like :)

Its only choppy as we use it to test if 3d works. If you guys remember we had the nexus one boot-animation running very smoothly but we needed a way to know if hw3d was initialized. Once we fix hw3d 100% we can then turn it off or leave it on wouldn't matter. :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Ah! I see! :)

Sure I can add frames! Thats really easy, the computer does all the job and i'll just have to sit back and relax. :)

I just chose 25 fps because thats what we use in sweden, basically i can give you any number of your choice.

Do you have any recommendation?

I'll make a 100 and a 50 fps version tonight and upload it first thing in the morning.

Edit.

Looking at the animation in "slow motion" (since it runs at 1/4th speed at the moment) i realize i have to redo everything from scratch for it to look good if it is to run at that speed.

I'll still render the 100 and 50 fps versions and put them here tomorrow. And when you decide which speed looks best i'll redo everything from scratch and i'll try to make it look as good as possible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
thanks lugiber :) just to let you know stinebd has push changes to our system which disabled hw3d as there is a process which lets us know the state of hw3d now :)

So in next release should have a nice boot-anim
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Oh, thats really cool! :D

Just so you know, I wasn't complaining about the "choppy" boot animation. After all the most important bit is a stable and fast android, the boot animation is just the "gravy on top of it all". If you know what i mean. :)

And if you wanted more frames added to the boot animation all you had to do was to ask, the same goes for any changes you might like to add. More androids? Do you want them to do something new? You name it and i'll make it happen. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
So, here's the "new" boot animation at 25% percent speed.

Remember this is not very synced and not well animated. I just publish these so you get an idea on which speed you would like on the finished animation.

Once you have decided i'll make a new and improved animation that isn't as "choppy" and more "smooth" with the speed of your choice.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
This animation is at 50% speed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
thanks for your work. i'll get back to you on that one. i'm working on some other stuff atm :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
No hurries, just let me know when you got the time and i'll get right on it! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Btw you mentioned somewhere that there is no open/free hdspa image for android. Could i help you produce one? I guess it would be simple enough. But if you want me to make it, could you provide me with the 3G image files so i have some templates to work from?

Oh that. Nah i'm sure we can steal that from somewhere :p thanks anyway though :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lugiber:
Well, i couldn't keep from making a new animation. I just figured that the most important part of the animation acutalli is the "xdandroid" part, not the androids. So i just prolonged that part. And now we're up to eight seconds of animation. :)

Hope this does what you intended, as always there are no problems with extending this one either, just give me a shout and i'll make it happen!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mengzhilian07:
It's very good,I like them,haha~
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] samizzlah:
here is something I illustrated in PS

hey

lol. these dont really fit the requirements bt u guys might be able to do something with 'em
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] compton1024:
animations

I really like the animations you have done here. I might be a little late i asking this but if i was to ask you to make one could you and then tell em how to load it on my system tp2 soi ca get ruid of the one i have. I would like ot see something like a prison scen

where the tp2 is stuck behind bars with a winmo os and then android comes along blows up the screen and then xdandroid pops up that would be cool or a winmo shanking a apple while android shots them both with a tommy gun then xdandroid pops and in small print below it saying say hello to my little friend if i was as talented id do it myself
[Desire Accessories] shane20:
I want a wireless headphone or earphone for the Desire, that I can use for music, radio, answering calls, when I'm at the Gym.

What are the best recommendations. Thanks. :)
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
Sony Erricosn MW-600

Works like a charm I fell in love with it :D
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
Do you mind me asking what the battery drain on your Desire/phone is like whilst using Bluetooth and listening to music?
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
Dunno actualy, ill check it this week for you
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
Thank you, I've been looking into Bluetooth headphones of all sorts and no one ever mentions what the battery life of the phone is like whilst using them.
[Desire Accessories] shane20:
Thanks for the reply.

That looks like a great headset and from Handtec its not that pricey. However the Motorola S9 is very expensive but also sweatproof. cant decide :confused:
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
why should u want it sweatproof? I've got in ear plugs so they don't suffer from sweat atleast that is my experience with in earp plugs.
[Desire Accessories] micks_address:
i got the jabra street last week.. it comes with own headphones but they are rubbish.. thankfully you can use your own.. today will be my first day in the gym with it so will let you know how i get on

cheers,

mick
[Desire Accessories] shane20:
As I said I want it for the gym... trust me it has to be sweat/water proof :D

I might get the Motorola S9 because it looks good too.
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
About the gym, I work out alot to but still no problems with the in ear plugs but now back to the test that I would preform.

Ok now starting the test @ 11.14 and my phone is @ 98% and locked the phone so it's just using bluetooth and playing music I've got some widgets and auto updates that update every 3 hours so they won't have that much influense also 3g is turned off when I lock my phone so u know ;).

So for the overview(End will be added when I'm done with testing)

Time Battery

11.14 98%

Using Cube 3 music player.

So for the overview(End will be added and results when I'm done with testing)

Time Battery

11.14 98%

12.14 93%

So drop from 5% listening in 1 hour so your phone will outlast the battery of the SE MW-600 which is 8 hours ;) so over 8 hours of listening you will get 40% drop.

Hope i informed you enough :).

About the displaying of track info: No info will be displayed, this is because android doesn't support his.
[Desire Accessories] wonderstoat:
Hi ... does the MW600 show track info when used with a Desire?
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
Thank you very much, that's great.
[Desire Accessories] funaki:
Have a look at Backbeat 903 from plantronic.

Of all the reviews i have seen people love them. There is even some Wrestler guy reviewing them on Youtube of how he loves them. I have mine on order and should receive them in a week or so.

http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-903-US-BackBeat-Headphones/dp/B001TK3AC0

Cheers
[Desire Accessories] dorittos:
I have a S9 and works very well in sweat situation, doesnt' fall, the quality is good enough for a gym/biking situation. However if you have small ear cavity (dont know the specific name for them) may be sore after some minutes but with time you the region get less sensitive.

One more thing, it's better to leave the phone in a almost static position, ie in a armband, on the treadmill because if you put in your pocket while running the constant moving makes the sound come and go. It's seems that occurs with most of bluetooth headsets.
[Desire Accessories] shane20:
That looks like a nice one I will look for that.

I currently have one surround headphones from Plantronics 777 and Im very happy with it. The mic is great quality too.

Thanks for the suggestions.;)

treadmills or cycling machines have a place to put your stuff like your phone, MP3 player etc, in front of you :)
[Desire Accessories] hrrsppzgl:
Radio

You wont be able to listen to radio with any wireless headphone headset, because earphones cable works as an antenna for radio reception.
[Desire Accessories] shane20:
Thats a good point for those who may want to listen to radio.

I personally only want it for music and taking calls.
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
Not true the Sony Erricons MW-600 has a builtin FM radio
[Desire Accessories] dougalls:
I have the backbeat 903's. I love them, sound quality is good, Mic is clear even with background noise. You can still hear what is going on around you, which saves getting run over when crossing roads. You have to store them carefully though. Mine are in for a warranty repair right now, left speaker stopped working but I used to just keep them in my pocket so probably my fault. Controls work and battery life is good. People do mock the look of them but who cares?
[Desire Accessories] franklinvv:
Obviously, he meant that the internal FM radio of the Desire won't work. :)
[Desire Accessories] knudsen19:
I've read a couple of reveiws of the Motorola S9, and most of them conclude that sweat proof shouldn't be marked on the product, as they are not!

I've bought the Jabra BT3030 (Street walk as Mick mentioned), and waiting for it now. The reasons I bought Jabra > Motorola were:

1. Longer battery time on Jabra

2. I can use my own water proof Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II

3. The uncertainty wether the motorola is comfortable or not against the certainty that my Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II are

That was pretty much it, looking forward to receive them - when I do I'll post how they are for running

EDIT: A bit Off-topic, but I hope you can answer anyway :) - Is it safe to keep your Desire in shorts pockets without a zipper while Running? And how is the bluetooth connection between the phone and the device, while running with it in the pocket - will the constant "jumping" in the pocket disrupt it, and thereby disrupt the music playback or?
[Desire Accessories] SiX-P4cK:
I have sennheiser MM400.

http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headsets_mobile_music_502888

Work perfectly: invisible micro, call by voice dial, all is ok.
[Desire Accessories] Tiger33:
Just to let u know

I found my old Jabra BT3030 and tested with Desire

works perfectly - (volume a little low) but apart from that its great (using with btunes)
[Desire Accessories] A|ex:
yes it is internal but you wouldnt need the FM radio on the desire if the mw600 has it built in. Failing that you can always use the mw600 headphones and plug them directly into the desire
[Desire Accessories] jerry_nz:
Silly question, but is there a way to use the Microsoft xbox360 wireless headset with the Desire? I'm assuming the headset is connected via bluetooth.

Cheers,

J
[Desire Accessories] Tiger33:
wow they look really good (getting good reviews too)
[Desire Accessories] ThePanama:
No you won't be able to as they are not BT, unfortunately!
[Desire Accessories] knudsen19:
Indeed these looks super comfortable and no doubt they're great, but for running, gym, bikin' etc. i doubt they'll be that great - especially not if it's raining while you're exercising :)
[Desire Accessories] knudsen19:
Has anyone tried the Nokia BH-505 ? Looks a lot like the Motorola s9 in design, but is newer so posiblely it has some advantages, for instance battery time etc? If anyone has tried them, please be so kind and answer - how do they fit and are they any good for running? I'm a bit concerned about the back-part of it, as that's where all the weight is and I think it will just joggle up and down while running. -> Same goes for the motorola s9 ?
