[Q] Gif Animation on Manila (2.5) Home Screen-Finally Solved!!!!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi for All!!!!!
Does anyone know how to place animated gif to the manila home screen to cover the Operator text(I mean with overlap)
on upper layer(Like Forelayer)?
I know that animation should not be added to the home screen but maybe another layer to display.And would be freely positioned on the xy coordinates.
Maybe with a 3rd party application?
Can anyone recommend a program that can display animated-Gif on today screen with configuration options?
My ROM: G10 Dusk Ultimate 2 WWE
Manila: 2.5.20173921.0
Thank you in advance for your answers!
I would like to kick-start the imagination of professionals ...
For example: (There is a WHITE thumbnail)
See Post: #15 !!!!!

Hmm, I'm a little bit confused with your signature;
But if you used CHT you can't use animated wallpaper!?
I'm not sure about your question.

Oooops!

First of all, thank you responded to my question.
Misunderstood me.
I want to show a gif file on the manila home screen.
I'm talking about not the animated wallpapers but a single Gif-file.
If you look at the attachments, you understand what I mean.
I know that it is impossible for a simple way.
But see if there is a solution...
Sorry for my english...

I just downloaded it fore take a look, and it's more clear now on what you wil but till here I didn't saw a solution/option fore this.

Hmmm...
No more ideas?
And if we could somehow made transparent the Sense home screen?

I found this.
Thx to Houser.
It uses the today-screen.
But it's not what I thought.

Nobody knows a solution?
Or writing a small application to it?

sorry, misunderstood you.
i'm out of ideas then...

483 views and there's no ideas?

You mean you want to place it on the clock or something? Or as a background/wallpaper?

First I would like to thank you answer my question.
Not as background but as a separate gif animation, which is can be freely positioned.
For example, to cover the operator text.
I know that gif-animation should not be added to the home screen but maybe another upper layer to display(Like Forelayer).

Or some other solution ...
I would like to kick-start the imagination of professionals ...
So what do you think?

No more ideas?

Like "NEKO" app?

[New Touch Dialer Skin!]Tired of Gray?! Here is a new Look

Hi,
For all of you who doesn't like the gray color or are tired of the same old touch look, I made a new dialer skin. If you have PDVIET 4.0.0.0.6 or you have installed touch style dial pad, all you have to do is to copy these files to your windows and soft reset. I don't have time to make a proper cab file, but feel free to make a cab file out of these and share it with us
oh by the way the dialer skin is only for portrait mode, later on I will make a landscape too.
I also installed the transparent home plug in icons, I uploaded them before, but I'm gonna upload them along my other files.all you have to do is copy all the .png files to your windows folder and soft reset.
I hope you like it
Nice. I've build cabs...
Hello,
is it possible to customize our own landscape and portrait background picture ?
regards,
(if so please specify which folder in the /windows)

haha well i though this skin is so brilliant that nobody wants to go back to the original one lol..
all you have to do is overwrite the attached images to your windows folder
If you want your home pluging Icons back, sorry i don't have them , you have to hard reset.
It is nice , but I found it too bright
it is not easy to see in the sunlight, may be with another text colour will be nicer
thanks for help
its nice, but if im gonna change the background picture im gonna have to change the buttons too, maybe you should remodel the dialer in a way that the background of the numbers is transparent ?

If you look closely at the buttons that i posted , they are transparent (look at the numbers) the thing is that i haven't found a dialer dll that supports transparent images. If you found a dialer that you could simply change the background image, let me know
did u take a look at this thread ?

Photoshop Files
Okay, I promised that I'm gonna make a dialer skin so that everybody can change it just by changing one background image! well i tried and I didn't succeed. but for those of you who know Adobe Photoshop, I attached the psd file so you can use it to make your own dialer. all you have to do is to change the background layer and save your file as a png file. If you don't know Photoshop just don't bother, I really can't explain further. also you have to overwrite the button images with the images in the zip file. If you know Photoshop and you want to make a dialer for yourself, look at my psd file, trust me it will help feel free to share your creative dialer skins with us

Touch and touchlike dialers
Guys, hdialerere is my 2 cents about the touch (and derived) dialers
Positive: nice big buttons
Negative:
1) The photo is awfully small, even smaller than in the standard wm6 dialer
2) 2 buttons are missing: speed dial and history. You have to open these functions with options. not funny
3) There is still some space left on top that can be used.
I hope that someone can make a dialer with these buttons and with a bigger photo. Thx.

Thank you hma4! Excellent work all around. Question: I run linux and have access to GIMP which can do many of the things Photoshop can...is the layer method supported in GIMP as well? I'm wondering if there is a step by step tutorial on the net somewhere and willing to google for it...always willing to learn something new although I am in no way or shape an artist.

GIMP opens psd files and also supports layers. for tutorial for GIMP you can visit here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
here is what you can do, try to open the .psd file that I uploaded couple of posts above, then if you could see my file in different layers then you can work your way from there. you have to make 3 .png files, namely:
Progress_BkgdP.png
Dialer_BkgdP.png
indialer_ps.png
all you have to do is look at those layers, one of them is the background image, try to change that to what ever you like, another layer is the button masks so you have to overlap that on your background, and finally save the file in .png format with the names that I mentioned.
I really can't write a thorough tutorial for this, I think if you spend a little time you can figure it out all by yourself.
Good luck don't forget to share your creative work with us

Here comes my own problem with changing icons on Cube...^^
Not only assigned icons with DustomMediaHub, I killed the default icons by replacing different graphics made by myself with the same names to see how far it could go....
The problem is no matter how hard I try, the default icons stick on the cube during its animation. Hopefully someone can crack the mystery one day^^
pic 1, pic 2 are cube with repleced icons, unpressed and pressed respectively; pic 3 is the animation of cube without the repleced icon...

That is totally normal. The animation of the spinningaround is prefabbed. Just a little movie that is already there and isn't based on the actual screens. That's much easier to achieve without to much memory-demand. Keep in mind that it was not ment to change icons.

hi, thank you very much for the illustration. but it still confuses me because I have checked all *.pngs in windows folder and replaced all susceptible files, four envelopes in total, with my own files. the worse was there was no suspected "flat png" for cube animation in the whole system...>_<
BTW, Mr. Gullum's t9 phone pad is fantastic! @[email protected] fail to post it via ppc…

Sorry, I didn't dive into it, so I don't know where the animation is located. But another detail to this matter, have you noticed that the contactpictures change to the Gray Head illustration just before spinning?
the animations are .brn files A0.brn A1.brn A2.brn A3.brn A4.brn A5.brn
and B0.brn 1-2-3-4-5 C0.brn 1-2-3-4-5
those are the once that do the animation I had a program one but can't find it now called brntobmp.exe that could convert these files into bmp images

hello, if you found the program , please post it here i'm interested too
Okay , I think we can improve the way we use the touch Flo dramatically !!
I changed the name of those brn files and i was able to change the rotation of cubes. For example i renamed A0.brn to A5.brn and A5.brn to A0.brn and the cube rotates from left to right when it was suppose to rotate from right to left ! Anyways , what i'm trying to do is to change the order of animations so when we activate the touch flo, instead of activation animation ( images coming from bottom ) we see the deactivation animation ( images coming from top to bottom) ... I hope you understand what I'm saying.
The problem is i can't find those animation file responsible for activation and deactivation of cubes .. Please somebody help
What I'm trying to do is to slide into the cubes and out of them , just inverse of Touch.. so when we slide our finger from top to bottom , the cubes will appear from top to bottom.

Smart Thinking!
Additional information:
Files A0-C5 are for the rotation (direction)
Files MH01-MH03HL are for Mediahubmini (pressed and unpressed)
Files MH_2_01-MH_2_03HL are for Applauncher (pressed and unpressed)
Files QD_Bkgd and QD_2_Bkgd are for Quickdial (the lower part)
Files MH_Bkgd.brn and MH_2_Bkgd.brn remians unknown (but the pair affects Mediahubmini by adding black lines between the taps)
I wonder whether the appearance and disappearance are brn files, for all files above seem to be all brns in windows folder. And if there are indeed some more brns responsible for the appearance/disappearance, the quantity of the missing files must be 6 or 12 according to the patterns of the animation (hard to believe so, though. ^_^)

Hi, brother, maybe you are right, but the observation tells me another story^^
The animations do change accordingly whatever page is been viewed--which means Applauncher.exe, MediaHubnini.exe and Quickdial.exe are plausibly all responsible for the animations^^

are there any themes for cube?
Splash animation???
Hi sorry i have not tested any touch/nontouch rom till date but my question is :
Does any of these floating roms have splash screen animation runnig???
sorry if its offtopic
Seek and found?
Any good news about the brntobmp.exe here?
I think it would be great to modify the cube animations.

[REQ] background/wallpaper changer WM6.5

Does anyone know if there's an app that will change the wallpaper on 6.5 every few seconds like a slide show or if thats even possible?
I guess one could make a mortscript that changes the wallpaper every few minutes from a list of files, but everytime it's change the today screen would need to reload.
I was looking for the same thing. But becuase of derekwilkinson's response that wouldn't be such a great idea. Maybe possibly it can change wallpapers only on the locc screen only. That way I wouldn't have to install s2u2 that I've been using fo a very long time.
The lock screen uses the wallpaper from the today screen, and, as far as I know, cannot use a separate wallpaper.
I'd be ok with the today screen refreshing too, but I gotta wait until enough people with mortscript knowledge want it as well. All that stuff looked totally foreign to me

HTC HD2 individual Icon replacement

Does anyone know how to change a sngle icon image on the htc hd2? I have got garmin mobile xt but the icon is very blurry and wondering if anyone has got a clearer icon image and how to replace just one single icon on the htc hd2.
By the way is there some way to increase the resolution of the icons. I've noticed some icons are sometimes more clearer than other.

oops sorry.......
I forgot that it wasnt in a cab.....
You can place that file into the windows folder in your device memory, overwrite the one thats already there and restart sense.
Ill make you a cab and attach it to this post in a minute if thats easier........
Edit;
Attached cab....
Hope thats what you were looking for........
Thank you very much for your efforts but the result is the same (see photo). I want to remove the bottom black area marked with red in the photo. Maybe it has something to do with CHT 2.0. I don't know.
