Hi to all of you in XDA II land.
Just got mine - wow!!
Now to discover all those bugs and problems... (Bound to be loads)
Better still.. Now to sicover all the amazing new things we can do with 'em.
Like taking photos in predefined frames. How do you create a frame template of your own. (It's not as simple as creating a GIF file - I have tried that)
Also like to be able to create a template in which to display callers photos - again how can I do that?
And can the camera be used for video conferencing either mobile to mobile or using MSN Mesenger?
Have fun.
Yoooooooo!!
Check this site http://www.iastyle.com/o2xdaII/templates.asp
you can download some there !!
HAVE FUN!! CLICK!!
RAOUL
yes it's is kinda as simple as creating a gif file
by kinda i mean
if you get an animated gif maker program and make one frame
and use the transparent colour the places you want the photo to
be it should work
you could try loading some of those templates from that site into the animated gif maker program
which animated gif program you should use?
and where should you download it ?

and look for yourself
i dont know which ones are good

I would like to propose the open-source development of a new program for Windows Mobile theme changing.
Themes are very popular. People love to personalize their mobile devices. Many ROM cookers will create their own themes that are implemented across a variety of included applications. Unfortunately, themes for third party applications cannot be defined or changed from within Windows Mobile’s native “Today” Control Panel Appearance tab. There are completely different methods of changing the Today screen theme, Media Player theme, and Phone dialer theme. Then if you’ve got some HTC applications in your ROM, there are yet other methods of changing the HTC Home Plug-in theme, TouchFLO Cube theme, Comm Manager theme, SIP keyboard themes, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I would like to propose a standard unified way of changing the look on all of these applications as well as future applications.
The program could be similar to the HTC Home Customizer where users would select named themes to be applied to specific programs, and the software would copy the proper images/files to the proper locations. The difference would be that there would need to be a way for users and 3rd party developers to interface with the program in order to let it know where its new theme files are supposed to go. Maybe there’s a master XML file that lists application specific XML files which include image/file location information.
Anyway, I think this type of program would be extremely useful both for power users and beginners who want to easily customize the look of their device and apply different themes to their applications from a central location. However, I’m not much of a programmer at all, so I am seeking help from the community.
I’ve started a project on Popfly called “WM6ProThemeChanger”. If you search for that name using the Popfly explorer, you’ll find it. Also, you can add me as a friend using “Adamz1977”. I'm not sure if that's the right way to do this, so if anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to post 'em.
I guess we should start be creating a central list of locations and filenames for various theme-changing image files for the variety of applications we all use. Any thoughts??

That's a great idea!
I have installed Poorlyduck's vista theme for the cube and if you look at his thread, not only did he worked hard at making the theme but he had to help out a really big bunch of people who had a hard time installing it.
Hope this works out!
Are you looking for this to somehow have one file type that contains all of the necessary files, or some sort of "it reads what it can from a folder and copies them where they need to go" style? I guess I can't picture what your goal is...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "it reads what it can from a folder and copies them where they need to go" style would probably be easiest, right? That's what the HTC Home Customizer does I think. Plus, a lot of applications might need text files, GIF, PNG images, and maybe even a DLL to be placed somewhere in order for the theme/skin design to work. The Media Player skins need a SKN text file. I think the phone dialer needs a DLL sometimes in order to change its skin.
I just think it's too difficult for us users to figure out how to change the theme/skins of all these great programs. If you know any one who might be able to help with this, please send them to this thread.
I'm working on a live wallpaper, I based the basic parts of it off of the live wallpaper example in the sdk.
the live wallpaper works on the emulator, but when I try it on my nexus one 2.2 device, the wallpaper flickers, and distorts when I move screen to screen. If anyone has any information to this issue, I'll gladly appreciate it. If anyone needs to see the apk, or source, let me know and I'll update this post or send it to someone. I'm not too familiar with the android way of coding, I'm more of a .net coder.
Hi everyone!
I've started to learn Java and want to draw my own live wallpaper (2d wallpaper which will respond to actions)
I've installed Eclipse and listened fast Java course, also read few manuals for simple wallpapers (like moving circles).
But now I'm confused about instruments I need to use for animation.
Do I need to draw few pictures and change them one after another or I can use gif images?
Rastr or vector? What expansions are supported?
How to create scrolling backgroud (I read somethere that only OpenGL can do it, is it)?
Maybe I need to use an engine?
I'll be very thankfull for all advices and links.
Hi devs,
I'm trying to find a way to create a theme for GO Keyboard. I saw many third parties doing that (they have some kind of installer system, applaunches, goes to theme selection screen and instructs user to click activate). I know what the graphic resources are (found them in source of 3rd party theme) but I don't seem to find what to do with that resources. Does Go Keyboard / Go Dev have some kind of API or library? Or I just need to paste the resources somewhere? (I know that GO Launcher Ex themes use some package called com.go.theme.template, is there anything like this for the Keyboard and I'm missing it?)
Thanks in advance.
I'd like to know how to do this as well!
