htctoucher s2u2 dark skin plus.. The cannabis package!.. wmstartup animation - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

First post is windows mobile startup.. second post is s2u2
I recently fell across this

and liked the smoke animation, so decided I would just go all out on the cannabis theme and make some more animated gifs..
here is what I came up with!
This is for the first animated.gif that shows up at startup
This is the welcomehead.96.png I have that comes after the animated above:
The .png file MUST BE NAMED welcomehead.96.png and placed in your \windows directory (overwrite original) - for HTC Touch at least
I suggest this (it makes the animated .gif at startup smoother):
get total commander and go into your registry
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\DelayPerFrame.....80
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled..............1
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\GIFFILE......wherever you saved it
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Volumn...............1
Enjoy!
htctoucher
more to come

And for s2u2 I have two jpegs:
and
And s2u2 animated .gif:
For s2u2 I suggest this (this is the setting I found that seemed smoothest.. toy around with it to find what you like):
Put the "Override GIF Speed for Animated GIFS" at 5 and enable "Endless GIF Animation"
AND if you would like a darker button package for s2u2 (slider, call, end, sms, voicemail all that) look below! i will attach a zip with all of them but a preview below:
the images look a little grainy in places.. but I suspect that is the capture utility, since it doesnt look like that on the device. Check below for the .zip!
drag all contents of .zip into \program files\s2u2\gfx ... they will overwrite the originals so you might want to back up the images that are already in that folder
Enjoy!

Nice animations....I like the green cannabis...
Thanks....

I am feeling ya, if you would like leaf graphics I can shoot you some of my photography.
Send me a PM if you are interested.

How can I remove the read only status from the ql_skin_1 and ql_skin_p icons in the windows folder on my HTC touch. I have tried to right click, uncheck read only, but that does not save. I tried to copy and paste your icons but the system won't let me. Is there another way to do this.
Not sure how to install this. Does everything jus go in the windows directory?
Hi,yes copy all these icons in windows directory.
can you post your theme also? im loving it
It's just a wallpaper with default htc black theme.
Can you make some icons for quicklauncher in HTC style - and or LG plugin style?
You seem to be quite good at graphics.
I run my plugin with - LOCK (lock screen) - EXPLORER (pointing to JAVA = OperaMini) - CONTACTS - PROGRAMS.
But it could be cool with more icons to choose from - like those in HTC HOME/ LG Plugin.
Well - just a thought to make the Quicklauncher a more used application

Diamond weather icons (highres)

I'm working on making high res icons and animations of Diamonds weather panel, here's what I've made so far.

}
I don't know when I'll have time to finish all of them (+animations), but for now, this will have to do. I was also thinking of rendering gifs to use in the famous Diamond SPB theme by greatbal which Im currently using on my Elfin. So if there are any developers that are working on themes, please post some reqirements for the gif's or motion jpgs.
You can get the full 1920x1080px version here:

Please, keep up your good work.....
these are very very sharp.. hope to use them soon.
Looks great. I've been searching for animations of the Diamond weather so that I can incorporate them into my Diamond WeatherPanel theme (initial release here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781) Marsware WeatherPanel accepts MNG (animated PNG) animations but if you generate animated GIFs then I could probably convert to MNG format.
Do you know where to find movies of the various Diamond weather animations? I have copies of some of the Diamond weather graphics (stand-along clouds, lightning bolts, rain droplets, etc etc) but I have no idea what the animations are supposed to look like!
I think that some of them have been shown by the HTC exec the first time he was showing the Diamond.

People have the htc diamond and the htc diamond rom so there must be some gifs or animated files on it i guess!

Changing the OMNIA's splash screen HOWTO+DISCUSSION

Heya folks, so I was screwing around with my OMNIA on the weekend and I figured out how to change the splash screen (woot lol for a first time winmo user)
The screen size for the Omnia is 240x400. The resolution is 96 (ppi? i think it is).
The animations are gif files, hehe. Namely
Ani_Poweron.gif (~800k)
Ani_Poweroff.gif (~550k)
this are located within the windows folder of your Mobile Device (Omnia) and are hidden. These gif files are originally 20 frame animations at 96ppi resolution - and are very basic.
I'll be writing a basic tutorial here, on how to make a gif file using Photoshop CS3 (imageready is gone in CS3). But for those who know how to make one, you know where they are now, so you can have a go.
Please note however, that the screen resolution is strict and normally the screen resolution for gif files in these types of programs is 72. I'll post up how I figured out how to change the resolution, (its a bit freaky, pixel sizes change etc etc).
Currently I have this animation - its heavily downgraded as large file sizes seem to have problems. - EDIT: I've pulled this off my unit directly. so it doesn't loop. If you miss it, save it onto your desktop, right-click and preview.

I also put out a call to anyone who has tried this or is trying this or is good at making gif files. If you know how to improve the quality of the gif file whilst keeping its file size low.. OR ALTERNATIVELY, making it play better on the windows mobile device (OMNIA). Please discuss it here.
I WILL UPDATE this first post as more information is available or contributed.
Update?
Any update on this?
Anyone have any new gifs to replace the Animations in the Omnia?

Rearranging the new start menu...

Hi! Ok, I don't like the new 6.5 Start menu, so I went into file explorer and changed the shortcuts that appear and put them in folders like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then when I click a folder like "Social Networking" the follow appears:
which is perfect. However, I've noticed all my folders on the first shot are pretty bland. However I noitced that "Games" and "Office" have their own icons. I then went into File Explorer and noticed that those two folders have icons in them:
so I went into those directories and sure enough, there's an icon.ink file with the picture on it.
However if you look at the first picture, the icons aren't the same (they're much nicer!)... anyone knows a) where these icons can be found on the device? b) how each "games" and "office" folders know to use those icons?
Thanks if anyone can help!

Default Black Sense 2.1 Wallpaper NOT located in Root. WHERE IS IT?!

Hi guys, For the past 2 days I've been looking for the default black wallpaper that's used on every single tab in HTC Sense 2.1 UI with no luck. It's just not there.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only file I found was StartMenu_Background_Screen_480x800 and StartMenu_Background_Screen_800x480 in the \Windows folder - both are transparent, so I check them in Photoshop to see are they slightly whiter near the center (like in the upper screencap) but they weren't.
I'm desperately looking for this wallpaper to use it in a skin for 'Touch X' application (I want it to look like a build-in tab).
PLEASE HELP!
It is two manilla files, one for the top three quarters or so and one for the bottom, I don't know which numbers they are in 2.1 but I have 2.0.
They are:
70083a29_manila
77feee1d_manila

Thanks a lot but I was able to make the wallpaper in Photoshop by editing the screen I posted earlier. I used it in a skin for Smabergs Actionscreen.
To give this threat a closure here's the wallpaper (maybe someone else was looking for it):
You can also find it in the HDWalls program as the "default" background. That's what I used to create a cab and use it on my Tilt 2.
