It is very nice could you please explain the steps you did to make the bootscreen?
I am a newbie so I don't know how things work and I want to change my bootscreen.
Please help!
Regards
Jay
well there are actually 3 screens your phone goes through on bootup.
The 1st is where it says AT&T or whatever service you have.
The 2nd is an animation
The 3rd is the Windows Mobile screen, right before its completely loaded.
This picture i posted replaces the 3rd splash. Save the picture as welcomehead.96.png (make sure its a png file, not a jpeg), and place it in the Windows folder on your phone.
The 2nd animation is a gif file in the Windows folder, but i can't remember its name off the top of my head...i think its animate.gif

Not sure if I've made this in the right forum but here goes.
Had a Vario/Wizard just over a month now and I've decided to have a go at making some today themes. Been browsing for them for ages and could never find anything I liked.
Here is my first theme. (Hopefully of many to come) Im starting with easy on the eye themes that arent going mad in the background and distract from using the today screen for what its for. Hope everyone likes it and will post a couple more later in the week if i get a chance.

Feedback welcome.

Its a nice one. U should post more of these simple and nice looking themes.
thats the plan, just found that most themes ive found so far are a bit "busy" and make it hard to see whats on screen. Will hopefully have a few more to post in a few days.
Am i allowed to make xda-developer themed ones? (Mods/admins?)
thanks for the feedback
Just posted a green one and a pink one (for the girls....if there are any here )

Made this one from a holiday photo, kind of chilled evening pic thought it came out quite nice.
Enjoy
tsk files
what do i do with tsk files?? lol i kno im a noob. can someone message me back?
Copy the .tsk to your phone (preferably into the same location as other .tsk files, which for most file managers will be the "My Documents" directory).
Use ANY file manager including the default File Explorer to find it on your Wizard.
Double click the file and it'll open the default theme selector app for WM5, and select the new title.
Bob's your uncle.
thanks
thanks man apreciate it
appologies everyone for the screenshots being down, recently replace my web site managed to delete the screen shots, i have restored a backup now so you can see them.
I will try and get some new themes up soon for WM6

This is with the flash clock
Notes:
Non-flash clock is black and a bit messed up
Black Large icons
White buttons
On music page - flipped volume up and volume down keys (Vol + is on the left and Vol - is on the right)
Silver/White/Black Back and icons on landscape
Comm Manager - In the process of changing the last two icons and adding the words on and off.
Programs and Settings - White back to icons. In the process of creating new icons for Settings.
See attached pictures for what I mean
If you have suggestions, feel free to post them here.
Here's my files: Link
Instructions:
1. Backup original TouchFlo3D folder in \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
2. Download my modified TF3D file.
3. Disable ThrottleToday in Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Items.
4. Extract to \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
5. Go back to settings and enable ThrottleToday.
6. Enjoy!
very good really
thanks alot for sharing this
A little peak on an update
hoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww tks....
hmm... perhaps you can put it in a subdirectory under the skin, and named it as Bright under the tf3d directory. Of course, xml editing need to be done.
Alternatively, you can even create another directory similar to Touchflo3d.
Well done, and keep up the good work!!
Great work!! Thanks!!

You have to appreciate people's hard work Nice theme..keep it on
How did you change your windows logo on the start menu I like yours about 100000 times more than the normal one
I actually use Garmin's roms. You can ask him how to change the logo. I think it's a png file attached to a .dll
Kraize
Nice work. Keep it up
simple to ask, hard to solve...
Is it possible to change the icon size in the TF3D program tab? If we suceed in this, it will be possible to have such an menu:

No one can help me? I handled it to save some "realize" icons into a DLL file... but windows mobile resizes the 80px icons as 32px...

So you never got a reply to this?! How disappointing. I especially like your thong bikini icon ! hah hah, never seen one that made such great use of space!
Lol...proof of what a nerd I am....the math icon caught my attention before I scrolled down and saw the previous post.

hah! that IS funny! ... so what's up with no one ever replying to the guy... I happened upon several posts of his because he explained how to make folders with icons within Start Menu on windows mobile. I'd never seen that anywhere else... so I followed a link and saw this. (kidding) what the hell's wrong with your forum that he never got a reply??(/k)
At least in my clunky old T-Mobile Wing forum, we'd'a been all over this kind of visual enhancement (the folders and icons)... AH well, XDA is so vast and wide, it's like crossing a great mountain pass the descending into whole new valleys and landscapes... when going from device to new device.
So... since XDA Destiny (not the name of a phone, though it wouild be a good name!) is such that I will likely never come across you again, adios, amigo!
I'm bored right now. School is one month away. Weather is (too) hot for me. So the only thing i can do is study JAVA (and android develpoment).
In the meantime i created this (in 3 minutes )
Aspect ratio is just fine for LG OO devices. If you like it (this pic is nothing special), then just can just "thanks", i can do other resolutions too.

You know how to work out GIFs? You could make a cool bootanimation!

Hi. I could try. GIFs are just compressed pictures.

Nope. He doesn't want that kind of .gif, but an animated one - the keyword is animation, as in "bootanimation".
ok, i get that
That's right
You could create something really nice, like a cool custom LG Optimus One P500 animation, only for our phones.

Thats not bad idea. I will try to do something in upcoming weeks. I am quite occupied right now.
Can you give me link for any "bootanimation".
I simply dont know, which graphical format for animation i should use.
If not GIF, then what? Flash animation?
Well, what about simple "Optimus one" text with fade-in-out effect?
Something like this (crappy try-2-minutes-made-animation ), download it and open in better image viewer than your internet browse (that fade-in-out effecz should repeat endlessly)
http://csko-16.ic.cz/123.gif
You're getting closer, but:
1) you should also add a fade-out effect at the end, so that the animation will feel continuous; now it looks like "skipping" because from full white jumps back to dimmed white;
2) I highly recommend you to output a 320x480 gif. The one you posted is too much for our phone's processing power and it will definitely play in slow motion
But then again, I'm not interested in changing the boot animation on my phone. These are just my advices, if you ever get bored again and feel like experimenting.
My first bootanimation, the second hand from a clock. 480x800
(The gif isn't accurate, but the bootanimation is)

It should do. The image descriptor asks for 1 frame a second, so it's up to the hardware/software to do that properly. I've only tested it on an HTC Desire running CM7 though, so I'd be interested if you try it on another combination.
Lots of ROMs come with their own boot animations, but they don't have their own software to display the screen, they're just changing the image file. As long as you put my image in the right place, the boot up software should display that instead.
BTW, the screen size was designed for an HTC Desire, at 480x800. Other phones will display the image larger or smaller depending on resolution.
Thanks for your interest

If you can make full clock with date, it can be useful.... when i need to know time but i have discharged mobile, it only shows bootanimation and shutdown.

Sorry, that's not possible.The boot animation is just a pre-recorded film. It's always the same, and can't change dynamically. My second hand animation always starts from 12, for example, and doesn't refer to the phone's clock. It shows seconds purely by asking the phone to show the film one frame per second.
noob question I know, but where can I find the bootanimation file as my ROM's has been replaced by stock android

I bet you it would be, although it would be an app and very comlicated.
I have an app called "live logcat" and it actually shows a LIVE logcat of my system during boot up instead of an animated set of pngs. Using that technology I bet it is possible to display systen time and date too.

If it's unrooted, you'll have to overwrite the original at /data/local/
If it's rooted, just put the new file in /system/media
