What size do the images need to be for a boot animation?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The boot animations don't need an exact size actually because the text file that goes in the zip is what will set the size. I would suggest keeping a 480 x 800 ratio though so it doesn't come out looking skewed. If anything you could even make the animation that size right off the bat to save yourself some trouble.
I'll post a link to a tutorial for you in a bit.
Here ya go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
The desc.txt file in there determines how long each part of the animation plays and what size to scale it to as well. Try not to make it too big though or it might look too compressed when the phone scales it.
Sweet man. Thanks so much.

I've tried resizing and everything it just gets blurry when smaller size when bigger size its clearer but the pic still isnt scaled to hd2 screen am i doing something wrong? is there an app that can claim non market pics and claim and get them to fit? i have all these epic pics but they look like **** unless i get wallpapers from market
thanks
your images should be 960x800
upscaling can make them look bad, make sure you are using a fairly big image to start with
You should check out an app from the market called "crop wallpaper ". It does what your looking for I use it all the time.

same here, the wizardrii worked great, exactly what i was looking for. tnx guys.
I read wondering if anyone figured out, or streamlined a way to change the splash screen. I am sure I could fire up adb, and follow the guides for the EVO using ffmpeg, but I know it would take a bit of time.
Is there a android python port? I'd love that...but I am slowly learning java... so hopefully soon.

Check the theme and app section. There's like 2 threads about custom splashes. One by iriscience and the other by true blue drew.

Thank you! Though before I saw your reply, I decided to "teach myself to fish" instead of just being given one. I went through the whole creation of a splash in photoshop, the conversion of this file to .img, and then ran "fastboot flash ..." in ADB. Worked great, and my splash turned out great--in photoshop at least. For some reason probably having to do with the particular colorspace on the glacier, and/or the colorspace used when ffmpeg converts the image (and probably some college level physics), because while everything looked great in photoshop, when the image boots up, the hue is way off.
I did find some xda threads on a script someone had written and he provided some sample images to use for a custom splash, and they looked good but they also would look good if the hue shifted (e.g. One photo said "MyTouch 4g Rooted", and showed a rather hot girl...with blue hair... She still looked good and I didn't even notice this until I looked closer at his pictures to see if the starting hue was different.
So I will have to quantify the color shift somehow and then change it in photoshop so it comes out looking right when it comes up as the splash. But it was fun.

Make sure that when you do your own that the image size is 480x800.

I'm a huge mavs fan, but I can't seem to find a wallpaper that isn't pixelated but I was wondering if someone could resize these images so I can set them as my wallpaper. I would greatly appreicate it. I simply cannot do it myself, because I do not have access to a computer at the moment. Thanks so much in advance!

When you set an image to be a wallpaper, Android will resize it for you -- you can drag to move the box, or resize it as needed.
yeah but they arent going to be clear. as in they are not the right megapixels
why not just google image.. "dallas maverick wallpaper" and filter by "large"...
be serious right meow...
Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Pinch out to resize the crop window.

Ther iz a simple way.... go to system- framework- frameworkres.apk- draweble- ther iz a wallpaper called defaultwallpaper.png.... reset ur wallpaper to dat size.....
Hit thanx if i helped.....

I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.
Figured it out.

basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.
Thanks man that app worked like a charm

PicSpeed has absolutely no effect - images still badly cropped when set as wallpaper.
Has anyone sussed this obvious and stupid problem?
Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

I have read dozens of threads here and elsewhere that ask how to resize images on the Nexus 7 so that they are not badly cropped.
Not one question has been answered properly and one solution (PicSpeed) is a joke as it does nothing.
Surely it is not beyond the wit of man (or even xda!) to design a solution to this ridiculous problem? It's a huge disappointment to be prevented from using one's own images as wallpaper on the home screen background.
I await a development with interest.
No comments?
I download 720P or 1080p wallpapers and use quickpic app to crop them. This means they don't zoom in like the idiotic standard gallery crop.
Solves the issue.

You could try wallpaper wizardrii from play store..just use the scale option once installed.

1600 x 1280.
The standard gallery crop box will default to covering the entire image, there is no re-sizing which obviously degrades quality.
I use Simple Image Wallpaper. It's free in the Play Store and works great. Super easy.
1600 x 1280 doesn't work; wallpaper is zoomed into about a quarter of the full image. Tiny images and huge images & everything in between are all resized to show exactly the same part of the image - about a quarter.
Will try the other apps.
Thanks for the replies but I don't see anything overriding the inbuilt resizing.

Consensus seems to be it doesn't work and worse crashes the N7.

Works fine on my Nexus 7 and I've never had a crash.
