Does anyone know a softwre for making animated themes? Or how to make them?
Thanx

You can try Animated Today.
It is a nice program.

yes but it comes with preset animations, and it is only for executing I guess... I want to create my own
Thanx anyways....

icons on themes, dialer skin.

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks

What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...

yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.

this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas

that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...

REQ Original wallpaper in RED?

Hi. I have seen the Original wallpaper but not in black and grey but black and red. I now searching for hours but cant find it again.. Does anyone remember the link? Else a link for the clasic original . (I will paint it..) Thanks ,

you could take it off of your phone then put it into a program like photoshop and overlay it with red.

TF3D Wallpaper..
Something like this?

Not something like this, exactly this !
Thanks . I know i have download it some days before ,but now i have spend hours without finding it..

So how would you go about getting that to be the background on tf3d? Would you have to use a program or could you just put it in a manila file and if so which one?

TF3D wallpaper..
Easy, place the wallpaper in 'My Pictures' on your device. Scroll along in TF3D until you come to settings, choose Wallpaper and when a box opens saying 'Choose default yes/no' choose 'no'. This will take you through to your pictures and you can click on the one you want and it will change it for you to your homescreen. To go back just click the 'yes' in the default wallpaper box.If you want to make your own wallpaper the size is 480x640....
N.B. If you SEARCH on this site for mUn BackgroundMode.CAB and install this CAB to your device you can have your Homescreen Wallpaper on all of your TF3D pages.

Sweet thanks! I knew about the home screen I was looking for how to change all the backgrounds.

Flash wallpaper for diamond or S2U2 ?

Does anybody knows if exists a program that can actually make my diamond wallpaper or the s2u2 wallpaper to be in flash extension? There are thousands of beautiful clocks and animations I would like to have on my diamond screen.

i would suggest searching for Animated GIF's to use with S2u2. You will find a bunch of VGA animated gifs that work perfectly with s2u2. as far as your today screen, i personally think it would be way too much going on. i might reference you to the Panoramic TF3D2.1 options that are available. Good Luck

Flash
No. is not the same at all. In flash, you can have clocks, dates, even meteo. In gif... Thanks for you answer anyway.

Also wondering
I also would like something animated on my today screen with tf3d, is there a way to use animated gif's . I can use a gif now but the animations are missing. I been looking for a solution for this for years now. I own the alltel touch pro but previously had the ppc 6700. Never could get it to work. I did however install s2u2 , which is nice kinda like a screen saver which does show animated gif's (http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/04/02/s2u2-v100-screen-lock-application-for-pocketpc.html) ( wallpaper pack http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/04/29/s2u2-animated-wallpaper-pack-2.html) but so much would love to have a animated gif on today/home sccreen

animated gifs have BIG filesizes, and these will need to be stored in ram
not a good idea imho
for flash you would also need the flash player in ram
also big
also not good idea
your phone will run SOOOOOO slowly

[Q] How to modify a live wallpaper ?

Hi !
I would like to extract the image of a live wallpaper, but I can't seem to find it.
Used apk tool to decompile the apk, and when I look for the image there's only a 256x256 thumbnail of the wallpaper in the res/drawable folder... How come ?
Another solution would be to modify the apk to make the wallpaper still instead of animated, but I don't know where to start. Is there a file I could modify to do that ?
Thanks a million for your help !
Cheers

It sounds like the wallpaper is generated entirely with an algorithm. Live wallpapers are actually special apps that run behind the icons.
A simple solution is to just take a screenshot of the wallpaper. You can select it in the Live Wallpaper picker and take a screenshot of it. Then, you can crop out the bottom area that has the Settings and Set Wallpaper buttons.
What wallpaper are you trying to take a still image of?

That's what I thought... Damn.
I tried to use a screenshot but it's not the same since it's smaller and can't cover the sliding effect. Better than nothing though.
I'm trying to get a still image of the "Holo Grid" wallpaper.
Thanks anyway
