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.

Please if any of the rocket scientists on this forum know of some way to change that 'simon says' looking wait animation for wm5 then let us know.
I cant stand the way MS makes their interfaces look like a frikkin Fisher Price gadget and each time that thing loads and makes me watch it cycle red, green, blue, yellow the more angered I get.
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Never gave this much thought, but if it bothers you that much:
1) Get a coreres.dll.0409.mui file. (should be in any good ROM dump, or use TestWM5.exe by mamiac)
2) Change the bitmaps using ResourceHaker or any other res editor.
3)Check Asukal's posts for how to re-sign the file, then put it in windows directory.
Good luck.
This is the thread on changing for WM2003. The info might be helpful.

sorry, just gotta laugh at the prospect of having a hamster on my screen now...
though i'd take that over the spinning thing too...
I loved the little hamster!
Although a few frames of VirtualGirl might not go amiss!

lol, indeed sir, indeed.
so...anyone want to try this on WM5? I know it should work but still....
Very cute idea, I will try this my self soon with a custom graphics.
Just one problem I am not anxious to combat:
In WM5 system MUI's will not load without a signature. This means creating a certificate, provisioning device then signing DLL. I know it can be done, but still, a lot of extra hassle.
Exactly. I don't think it worked when I tried it way back when, but I don't think I signed it...

I made a super simple skin for my Athena to organize my today screen better. I thought it might be vaguely useful to others so here it is. The items aren't perfectly lined up and uses no images. It currently has the date, calender, time, 5 applications, sms, email and missed calls counters. I may add tabs, weather and other stuff one day.
The skin is the top part:

Neat Ta!
Changed it around a bit, by swapping the date and time, so that it stills shows the time in portrait and then shrunk it to 110 to fit everything into my start screen.

Sorry for the newbie question, but where should these files be put? I've tried dropping them in the Windows directory and then going to Settings/Today to see what appeared. Nothing did.

Ah, it needs the rlToday plugin, which can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269650
here's mine. Love rlToday!!
You can download the skin from rlToday's main page under skin forum. These guys have made a phenomenal program!!!
So, before ppl start flaming.....
This has nothing to do with skincolors
I am feeling the itch to start working my photoshop skills again...
Before anyone ask about ETA or anything like that:
There is no ETA.
This can take days/weeks/months
Im just curious about the interest for this. It used to be a popular thing, but times change.
Black project means that I want to skin the basic apps like the dialer, comm manager, manila and a few more from the dull (in my eyes) white into a more mysterious (!!!) black
This is just a test I made, it has alot of work, but its a start:

Lookin' good, I'd be a user.
Yeah I agree, looking real smooth
Wou! Rely amazing! I love it! Cant wait to have it.
But that "call" button would be look nice at green. (imo)
Scuse me for asking, but is that just an inverted greyscale image of the Blackstone dialer?
All-around black'n white - I would like
I always try to find "black background and white symbols" no-nonsense themes for all my phones.
Very Very nice! I must have it!
Hahahha. Damn Itje. Shouldn´t you spend some time with me chatting instead of colourizing Apps??

It is NOT unpopular..IT is loved by many...BLACK!!!!!

mostly it is, but if you think this work is "just" then go ahead and try
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Looks great
I'm still sticking to stock atm and learning as much about wm atm. Preparing to port over soon
Nice...I'll definetly have this if you do spend the time (I looked at the images for the dialler myself and there was sooooo many)
I did a quick fix by swapping the buttons around so that the dialer was black (You can get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459260 )
@itje: i will probably join in and reskin some stuff like the sbp-panel similar to your work here. i will start in the next days and maybe we can customize near all aspects of the x1 with a one nice black style/skin (if you dont mind).

It seems that any wallpaper with a gradient or any shading or glowing is displayed like in 8-bit style. What I mean by that is this.

Its really making alot of wallpapers look hideous and would like to know what I can do to make it look the way it should. Thanks in advance.
Seems like a little help and a little research does wonders these days.
Just so this can be used as a reference, i'm gonna go a little in dept here.

might try adding some noise to the pic. just a little bit. I used to have to do this on my touch pro 1+2 on some walls
let us know how they turn out
a quick google turned out this:Say Goodbye To Gradient Banding | Planet Photoshop
this looks promising too
How To Correct Banding In Your Gradients Using Photoshop - SloDive

These methods work in getting rid of the banding lines but what I figured out was to keep the quality, you need to do alot of tweaking and messing around. What I found out was adding a gaussian blur on a new layer thats slightly transparent and adding a little noise on a overlay layer thats slightly transparent is the trick.
This took me 2 mins to do. (Its 6:22am on fourth of July, I'll put up better examples later)
Before
After
What got me thinking was some of my camera pictures and other pictures in the gallery look stunning but anything I transfer via pc had horrible banding. Didnt make any sense at all. I'm no expert but adding a little blur and noise almost tricks the evo's screen.
great idea! thanks, now i can finally get some good wallpapers onto my evo.
How about sharing the exact settings you used? Or even better would be to post a PSD template that only requires people to paste their wallpaper (or possibly copy a layer style)
Download wallpaper set and save from the market. It fixes this problem.

Hi, I made this LEODROID icon concept a while ago, and this evening I had nothing to do, so I figured I might as well make this for you guys
I made 7 different wallpapers, each with two or three variations. I made some variations because I thought people might like another colour and/or style. And if you come with good ideas, I might do some requests.
Here are previews of the different wallpapers and their variations:
The ubuntu one is my favorite btw
And of course, the icons:

Yeah, I don't really know Had to pick something, and all the screenshots show 10:08, but that's lame xD
You should make those live wallpapers with actual clocks
Thank you!
With your permission, I made two boot splash screen to be flashed via microSD.
See post#15 (link) for the 2 LeoDroid Ubuntu 480x800 splash.
See post#1 (link) for instructions to flash via microSD.
Another Big Thanks to the devs for making LeoNdroid possible.
