Hi all,
I am wanting to create a live wallpaper and have a FLV file with the animation that I'd like to use.
Can anyone provide some steps that I need to take in order to get a FLV as a live wallpaper?
Will I need to capture each frame as a png and iterate through them in my code? I've seen examples of where this is used, with 3-4 pngs, but my animation may end up with a couple hundred if I captured each frame!
Is there a way of just playing the file as my wallpaper with no conversion?
I'd like to be able to package the wallpaper into an APK and distribute it via the market too...
Thanks.
Anyone....?

Somewhere in this forum I have seen a live wallpaper creator. You can create it by importing single screens,
I think the easiest way would be to take screenshots from the single frames, edit & resize them and use that tool.
EDIT: found it: here

Guyz,
Someone knows how can I convert a .SWF to .GIF with the same quality? I tried, but the program that I used reduced too much the flash's quality.
And other problem: it must be 240x320. The original flash has 792x650. I don't want to resize, cos all the flash, specility the HTC's icon, resize too (of course). I want to convert to .GIF and, then, cut to 240x320. On this way, the icon will be the same big size.
But first: is it possible to use a .GIF animation for a Main/Splash screen, isn't it?
Links for .SWF file (98kb). I catched from HTC TyTN's site.

Thanx for your reply...
I could probably make it happen if you linked me to the SWF. AVI is a lossy format.
Also, why is it upside down?

I really don't know... I used 'Sothink SWF to Video Converter' and, after the convertion, the .AVI is upside down... :\
Do you just want the HTC icon because it is out there already..
Ok I got the flash file. http://www.htc.com/flash/tytn_web/in_01r.swf now what do you want? Cause I can use my extractor and grab it all.
Here is just a jpg... what exactly do you want?

Thanx for the icons, but what I really want, and I don't know if it is possible, is an animated .GIF with: HTC's Icon + Green bar animated below + "Loading..." flashing. I did this .GIF with 'Sothink SWF to Video Converter', but the quality was horrible.
Then, when I turn on my device, the main/subslash screen would be similar the HTC's site flash. Course, the percentual loading will not change, and the green bar either, but it could be any number (37%, for exemple) and a fixed size bar. But what I think it would be very interesting are the animated green bar and "Loading..." flashing, giving the impression that the device is controlling the animation.
I tried with Sothink SWF Quicker and Decompiler, but it didn't work for what I want. I tested with PhotoShop, but it didn't support animated .GIFs...
I really don't know how I can do this... :\
No probs...
No problem man.
Thanx a lot for your help...

Thank You very much! 1 more thing if you don't mind..I also did a search for the NET compact framework..NETCF2.0 here and on Google having no luck.. Google search gives a lot of forums only, and Microsoft only has the exe file...37.6MB..I had this, also but cannot remember where I got it. I also had the NETCF2.0 string. Can you help me on this,too?Thanx!Cingular 81252.25.11.1
Yeah. I have that one, too. I couldn't upload it here though -- the cab was over 5MB and it still failed even after zipping it. So, you can download it here.

I get a message saying installation unsuccessful because file not intended for my device! What's up with that? Cingular 8125ROM:2.25.11.1
Huh?? I pulled it right out of the .exe file. Hmmm. . . better do some digging around to see. . .
will the gif player allow me to use animated gifs as the background for my today screen or is it just to be able to view them??

I finally found the cab file needed for my device version thru ppc geeks.com, on a website named freewarez.com. I tried uploading the cab file (2MB), but am having problems with the server here. Should this be reported? I have tried for several hours! I can't upload anything!

The player will play GIFs of different sizes dependent on what size you choose. If you have Houser's Today GIF, tap to the right of the GIF, tap confg., tap the shaded blue box, choose your picture, click ok. You can get thousands of animations at different sizes, even 240x320 at FUNFORMOBILE.COM. Everything is FREE. Your player will play any animation you download from there. Choosing a picture to save as your background, animated or not, the picture will be frozen, the player will not animate the saved picture.

Longtime Downloader? u just joined arround 10-15 days ago.
lollz
I only have this one, which is an upscaled version of a 240x320 file I found somewhere on the net. It's sufficient as background for, say, a theme for MortButtons.

Hi there,
Is it possible to have a moving background instead of an .jpg/.bmp/.png with in the FT3D menu?
I've installed the background4all tool so my kids are constant in my view!
But I'd like to have a new picture ones in a while.
Or better a small movie!
So is there a tool that would let me play a flash file, a movie file or a gif file?
On my Dell Axim X51 I had flash themes! but I didn.t have the program to create them with.
I would like to have them in my FT3D but if that is not possible a flash theme is ok to.
Thanks!
Greetings from Holland!

I don't know about moving backgrounds but I know you can have a panoramic background. I saw it on here somewhere.

What do you mean with a panoramic background? Is that a 10 pictures wide wallpaper that scroll to the left or right when I go from home to internet or massages??
That would be cool to, but I have a floder on my HTC with about 60+ pictures of my family. All resized to the screen size of my HTC pro.
That's why I would like to have a flash wallpaper player or an other moving wallpaper player.
But Thanks for the info!
I'm going to look for it now!
Anyone els who has an idea for my request?
Ok i got an Idea
There is Mortscript an is aw a script what changes Wallpaper.. you can customize the script to speed of change and add the Pics in the same folder as script...

Guys I Have Some Gif Pic An It Doesnt Animate.... Why cant I See animation<
It seems that playing animated GIFs is not supported directly in Android. The Google docs state the GIF is a discouraged file type for using in your Android projects.
There are some possibilities but they all seem to require a great deal of work to show your animated GIFs.
The one thing that seems to be working is splitting up the GIF into its frame and do the animation between the frames yourself, see this question for a little bit more information. There is also this question that shows another way but the answer may be outdated because of the changes made in the cupcake release that are mentioned in the other questsion.
