I decided I was creating too much noise tonight and decided to do something productive.
Attached is a zip archive with two files
1) Housers excellent todaygif plugin
2) a special gif created for ap4 (anyone can use it)
To install
1)unzip both files onto device
2)run cab to install todaygif
3)goto settings-personal-today and select todaygif item
4)go back to today screen
5)initially a cat will be animated
click and hold stylus in todaygif area
select config from context menu
6)for the gif, goto wherever you put ap4cylon_today.gif for x put in 160 for 192 dpi.
You wont be sorry. Useless but fun.

Attached is a zip of a smaller version of the gif that is a little smoother (and a preview but actual gif is much higher quality)
Okay, last one. This gif will stretch the full length of a 640x480 screen and give you some animation.
set position in todaygif to 0,0

Is there a way to set the wallpaper on the Mini Pro, without having to crop the image? I'm having a little bit of a poor experience in getting the wallpaper the way I want. Tried 240 x 320 sized images and same thing. Any ideas or apps ? (Or free beer? )
You can drag on the corners of the box to make it bigger in the cropping screen.
I was aware of the ability to adjust the size of the crop window using the edge markers. However, the results are often stretch, blurred, pixelated or something else.
I figured out a bit of a workaround though, from looking at this article HERE
To quote them:
Select an image that is 960 x 854 pixels.
Go to the option to change the wallpaper
Select the pictures folder, where you have the images stored (In above mentioned resolution)
A cropping square will appear, drag it to one corner and then maximize it as far as it will go to cover the whole image. Then hit ‘Save’.
Please i need help on resizing a boot animation for mini. I m a newbie. Any easy tutorial that can help?
well if u want to hang around for 'bout 2h or so you can do it in paint.net ^^
simply do a resize for the width (as i assume the width:height ratio is a bit different than that of our mini, you have to resize it so that the second lenght - either width or height is bigger than the resolution of your mini/pro) [ctrl] + (make shure "keep aspect ratio" is checked) & then choose the option right beneathe the resize feature in the pulldown menue (dunno the english translation, kb shortcut is [ctrl]+[shift]+) change the second length to fit the resolution (make shure "keep aspect ratio" is NOT checked)
frankly, after doing this 87 times you are bit brainf**** ^^
but if u do, simply push your images back in the zip, put zip back on phone & set permissions

bootanimation for viewpad7
Since there is nothing listed here so far, ill just post my stuff here.
I've created a custom bootanimation.zip based on the dr who title sequence and tweaked it so i would run well on my viewpad.
Images are ripped from youtube video, so i can only take credit for converting and resizing them. to reduce size and speed up loading time i've reduced the images to 400x240 and stretched them out using desc.txt in the zip.
Install the bootanimation.zip using adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
I've also included a replacement boot sound to go with the animation. My viewpad 7 runs DearDeer.ogg from /system/media/audio/notifications/DearDeer.ogg as it's bootup sound. The only way I've found to change that is replace the file with something else of the same title.
Wow loove the boot animation!
Whats the procedure for creating it etc, I tried to edit the standard one off mine, I edit a few frames with ''stolen from ''+my address and re-saved the frames, rezipped, copied back into the phone, and it just skips my edited frames...
Whats the specific file format and what did you save the frames with/as ?
Not exactly sure what you mean, but when rezipping, have you set the compression to store ? if you compress the images in the zip they wont load.
My procedure:
1. downloaded youtube video from dr who title sequence in mp4 format.
2. Used Quicktime Pro to cut and export the video to a BMP image sequence.
3. Used Irfanview to resize the pictures to 400x240 and 256 colours to reduce size.
4. used Irfanview to convert the BMP to PNG
5. used pngout to further compress the PNG files for smallest file size
6. Downloaded a custom bootanimation.zip and replaced the png files inside.
7. Edited desc.txt in the bootanimation.zip for correct screensize

+1 nice & good start, going to try it out once DW get home as it's hers now to use.
Anyone got customized & business-like ringtones (Mp3 format?) to share - non.copyrighted ones, please - the stock ones included sounded subdued and not distinctive - not that we've planning to use it as an oversized smartphone.
TIA.

Works really cool but it takes for ever to start.
Can you explain better the desc.txt ?
For quite a while I wondered how to edit my 3D photos, not anything too crazy just things like adjusting the contract, saturation, etc.. By default it seems that our camera captures 3D photos in mpo format, which is not possible to edit as easily as a jpeg in a photo editor. HOWEVER, if you set the format to jps, you can now edit them in any photo editor that can edit jpeg files!! Apparently jps files are just jpeg files with the right and left images side by side. I have attached a sample I did, for upload I had to set the file extension to jpg because jps wouldn't allow a file size over 97kb?! Anyhow I did this one in PicSay Pro but you can of course get more creative and use Photoshop or my favorite, GIMP. It's VERY EASY to do and very fun. For the longest time I didn't know how to do this so I thought I'd post this info for the others like me that didn't know. I was able to open the file for editing without changing the extension from jps to jpg/jpeg, HOWEVER the photo editing applications if they don't recognize or allow you to save it as a "jps" file extension just save it as a normal jpeg/jpg and then manually change the extension to jps and you will be able to view it in 3D like normal on your EVO 3D. ENJOY!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
You can now even edit your MPO 3D images, from your phone, but you have to convert them to SIDE BY SIDE JPEG first, and you can use this great program to do it! Tobidale3D!
Here's how:
1. Install Tobidal3D.
2. View your MPO 3D image from the regular Gallery*.
3. Select SHARE for the photo you want to convert, select Tobidale3D, then select SHARE AS 3D*.
4. Press MENU, then select Parallel Stereo Format (see attached).
*Optional method: You can just open Tobidale3D and view all your pics with it directly then save from there, but I think using the gallery is easier.
Now you can edit the newly saved file as it's converted to a side by side jpeg jps file (it has a jpeg/jpg extension). The rest of the original editing instructions apply.
Awesome editor! I would recommend in addition to PicSay Pro, which costs about 4 bucks, you can use Pixlr-o-matic. It's free and works great and creates high res images, unlike some editors. The default native editor apparently saves in the exact same resolution as the original file. So that's another option if you want to keep full resolution and if you're happy with the editing effects offered by it.
I have attached a zip file with the original MPO file, the file converted to SBS, one edited with the native gallery editor (High Contrast option), then 8 images edited with Pixlr-o-matic. I have optimized the jps files using GIMP on my PC for the sake of file size for this thread, usually however the pics were about a meg in size each.
Hope you guys enjoy editing your 3D pictures!!!!!!!!
Awesome man Thanx....
Nice,I got some work to do now lol

Conversion
Sorry if it's off topic a bit (which it is, or I wouldn't say that right?), but I can't find the result I'm looking for ANYWHERE. I just got an Aiptek 3D Camcorder, and it takes pictures not in .JPS, not in .MPO, but a regular side by side .JPG! I'm trying to find an online tool, or application (I'm on a Mac but I could probably run it in CrossOver if it's a Windows app) to convert FROM .JPG to either .MPO or .JPS. The end result is I want to create a wiggle animated GIF so that I don't need glasses to show people 3D pictures I've taken, so if someone even knows of a process to convert from .JPG to an animated GIF wiggle that would be even better. Thanks in advance!

Rename the jpg files to JPS. Viola! JPS is the same as JPG just has the JPS extension to show it's a STEREO (S) Jpeg. There is an application for windows to convert stereo images here:

Good luck!
How do I convert phone resolution Bootanimation to tablet resolution?
Pretty simple question...
I have 4 boot animations that I want to convert to work on my Nexus 10 full screen.
Also, anyone able to edit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159544 to show 10 instead of 4 or completly remove the number so it works nicely on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 10.
Thanks

You can't do it directly, so you need to:
Decompress the bootanimation.zip file. You'll get 2 folders (each one with a bunch of images) and a desc.txt file.
Modify the resolution of the images (yeeeees... all of them. I recommend to use a batch-resizer tool, like Fotosizer). Obviously the images will lost quality, it depends of the resizer tool you use, and it can't be avoided.
Open desc.txt, and modify the first line. Change the first two numbers to the desired resolution (768 1280 24 means 768x1280 pixels at 24 fps).
Finally, compress all into a zip file again. Set the compress mode to store (or the compression level to 0), otherwise your bootanimation will not work.
