Hello everyone! Saw this video of the Android 2.3 screen fade out animation, and thought I could maybe cook something up for Windows Mobile. Here's what I came up with.
Granted, it's fairly useless, but it sure does look cool. Tested on my HTC HD2.
Instructions
Just install the cab file and (if you want) set Send Key to turnOffAnimation.lnk, and you're set.
Note this will not replace anything on your device, so it should be safe. Let me know what you think!

Testing it out now. Looks nice man. Good job.
**EDIT**
Ok, so it works well on the TP2 also, but a bit slower then on HD2 of course.
Great work, but not really practical for slower devices I guess.
Unless one doesn't mind the extra wait.
Anyhow, very nice implementation of a useless(as you say), but very cool feature. Nice work.
This is totally useless, but very cool!
It's a pity that on my TP2 at the end of the animation it gives back an error.
Please see attachment.
Anyway thanks!
Sweet thing! But I use pocketshield lockscreen and the HD2 does not get locked when using this. It just turns off the screen. Could just be a setting in PS i guess. Anyway, thanks!

It's a memory glitch, and I'm trying to find the best way to conquer it. Hang tight

Cool feature.
Thanks!
After receiving some feedback, I want to know: Is there demand for a version with faster animation?
I played with the settings for a while, and couldn't decide if I wanted it more noticeable, or simply faster.
Also, this would probably help performance on non-snapdragon device. If there's demand for it, let me know, and I'll release a second cab today. No time to make a settings dialog, sorry.
On my TP2 (non-snapdragon device) a faster animation would be welcome!
@Jaxbot:
Useless so as you say , but really cool.
I have added your exe file to the CHT_softkey_lock. Also the original image for the softkey is used and i have a new way to set my phone in standby mode. This is done very easy with the CHTEditor from the CHT Suite. It can be added to the functions of CHTScheduler. Very nice done...
This is NOT useless, it is a gimmik what brings more fun... thank you for sharing this useless thing with us
Looks awesome on my HD2!
Would be cool to have it replace the default screen off button

Jaxbot,
Great little app, but sadly does not work on my Omnia Pro B7610, i also get the error message.
So please do faster animation if possible so it can work!
thanks

I would certainly welcome a little faster animation. Thank you so much Jaxbot. This app is simple and Fantastic!
cool app!
waiting for fix on the glitch.
Trying to find the best way to dispose of the used Bitmap objects in the program. Strangely, bmp.Dispose(); simply crashes with an ObjectDisposedException, and setting it to null doesn't help the memory problem (Which is why it crashes sometimes, by the way.)
If anyone has some suggestions, let me know. The app is written in C#, fyi
Updated version, should run faster on older devices and clean up some memory bugs:
http://windowsphonehacker.com/files/crtanimation_fast.cab
Thank you!
It's working great on my TP2. This was a great idea.
May i sugest another useless idea:
when we rotate from portrait to landscape and vice-versa, it would be cool that during the time that the device takes to change, we could see some sort of animation.
Once again thank you for sharing youre work.
TurnOnAnimation...???
Thanks for new version!
Please, let me make a suggestion, for a turnOnAnimation...
What I mean is an animation when we open applications that we have selected to have this animation (in some kind of turnOnAnimation Configurator, or using the turnOnAnimation before opening the application using something like mortscript)
Hi Jaxbot,
there is fast c solution to resize images in different directions. I have found this for meltwaters RSS tab. Please ask him for the source, because he have done more work on it to make it perfect. Possible there is also a solution, or to do some tests....
Really fast on my Omnia
A little glitch is at the wake up, i seeing the end of the animation a bit.
Thanks

We would have the perfect ROM, I swear !!!!!!
Pls wait for a few hours!!!!
Wish the clock can turn faster to 27/07/2007...... hurray......
HTC home plugin, recommandations and wishes
I have one recommendation and one wish for future perfect ROM.
My recommendation which is already present in .5 cross ROM but non other ROM havent, is HTC home plugin .in 5 cross ROM can able to show simcard line status instead of operator name. What I mean is I have two line in one simcard and changing my lines by entering its pin codes and It is perfect to see which line are you using is a very wonderful gift that .5 cross ROM have. Regular phone able to show both operator name and the line that you are using. Afte 1.5 year I supprised to see on windows mobile. If possible could you pls inform me how to change it in htc home plug or could you pls apply it for you future ROM.
The other my wish is closing the applications how as in tocuhflo way. Everybody can easily agree that the worst thing is closing applications by targeting X button. If it possibble to apply all applications doing this feature sucf as touchflo way like sliding up your finger to close, I thing that ROM will be the number one that whole WM6 users have the reason to change their ROMs
Thanks four your works and I'm keeping in touch everday waiting for perfect ROM.
clock will be ddd dd/mm/yy
ex: Thu 26/07/07
have fun.

we'll only have one problem with that sliding up to close programs.... what about contact and internet explorer or even the windows folder. if we do that then the scrolling would only work down and close if we try to scroll up again. this would aplay to all apps that have the option to scroll
but it would be cool to hace some movement close programs..
It´s done when it´s done!
What is all this - viral marketing for a still not existing ROM?
I think it´s done when it´s done - no need for the 5th threat without new information!
Let´s simply wait until the TOUCH ROM gets published and stop further spamming this forum. And for all those who get bored waiting, there are more than enough other good ROMs for testing in playing.
Thanx anyway to all persons creating these exciting new Roms for our HTC Prophet.
yeah you're right gullum but any genius movement can be find to close such as one side to oposite site that non of the applications doesnt use and also havent capability in that way as far as I know. My suggestion is sliding up-right to bottom-left for example.
And also one thing should be considered that when you figure out of usage percentage of sliding applications against to sliding to close (ofcourse if avaible), I thing we will hit the usage of sliding to close.
something like mouse gestures in opera/fierfox? great idea
It's so hot ~~~~

Hi all,
WM 6.5.x is really nice to use but as a big lack of task manager.
As I couldn't find anything that works well I gave a shot at WKtask, thinking it wouldn't work... I WAS WRONG !
I already posted this on the Diamond BSB Rom thread, but I thought I'd share it for people with other devices. Hope this helps some people !
WKtask creates somekind of virtual OK button where it used to be on WM older builds. It can be set to various actions (OK/Close, Minimise, Launcher, etc...). That button is skinnable but unfortunatly covers up the last 2 digits of the time... so we make it transparent.
By changing, the position, the skin, Icon style and colors you will be able to adapt it to you're theme. (Use the settings in the posted screenshots to get what I did or play around to adapt it your way)
What do we get after this ?
If you use the same settings than mine, what you'll get is :
- A windows pc style taskbar.
- WM OK button, minimise applications and works simply as defined.
- WKtask invisible virtual OK is set to terminate applications
I haven't tested all the functions but everything seems to work ok, i tested :
- battery Gauge
- launcher
- hiding applications status
- exceptions
- skinning
It seems that WKTask disables the new WM6.5.x top ruban with Battery, network, etc icons... personaly I don't care but for those who do...
Thanks to Waku for a great little tool : WKTask Homepage
Thanks to MiToNiOeS for iPhoneToday : Original thread

This is such a shame!! i would have loved to try this, but if it disabled the Topbar i cant use the WM Notification Manager as i have removed the HTC Enhanced Notifications!!
Is there anyway to get this to work as it is not really a solution if it breaks something else!
Really nice idea tho, i would love to have a try with it!
Can i ask, what version of total commander are you using in the screenshots? all the versions i have tryed are really hard to use on the HD2!!
thanks for your work and answers in advance

Did not help much it is covering icons

I no longer use BSB G Rom, I now use Benko's Ultra Light
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606064
Some small things are not working fine on BSB'G... and this rom is tiny -50Mo
And, thanx to YOU, I use Sashimi so it really doesn't take long to flash and be up and running...
Anyways, by settings the right offset to half the screen if I press anywhere on the icons the rubbon seems to work (for now)
Another "kind of" workaround would be by using the WKTask launcher to access the functions you normally get with the rubbon.
On other this about Benko's Rom is that it includes a basic but perfectly working task manager and associated to Ameba a long press on the start button brings it up
See screenshot
As from Totalcommander it's 2.52 beta 2 available here

Sashimi rocks!!! best auto installer available!! shame the dev got permanent ban from this site for making it!
Apparently it is warez! It uses a trial version of SKTools through the command line and because of that its warez.

Im looking for a lockscreen for windows mobile (6.1) that is identical to the lockscreen on the HTC Hero
i have a samsung omnia i900 so it's really important that it would work on wqvga devices.
My searching has brought up 'themes' for SPB mobile shell and PointUI et. but what i want is a standalone lock screen which doesnt need any other programs to run
This would be very good as i believe the Hero lock screen is one of the best
(it gives you all the info you need, while leaving you enough space to be able to see your background)
If anyone out there knows of anything like this

S2U2 has a hero theme
Is this what you're looking for?

Throttle Launcher has the same lock mechanism -slide down to unlock- but not the same sweetness as the Hero lock.
though Throttle Launcher is feature-rich it still comes next to S2U2 (the best there is IMHO).
S2U2 is what im using at the moment and it does the job of locking my phone fine aswell as showing me most of the info that i need but i still think the hero lock screen is much better looking and it allows you to see the wallpaper properly too
do any of you know, is throttlelock as smooth as the hero lock screen when locking/unlocking and does it show notifications for texts, email, missed called etc?
for a good slide down lock screen, google pocketshield
ive tried pocket shield and it is very good, very responsive and i dont think it would be too difficult to make a hero skin if there isnt one already
the only problem with it is that it costs money to get rid of the random countdown thing that reminds you to buy it
im looking for something free
is there anybody here with enough experience to make a program like what i want?
it only has to lock/unlock the screen and buttons and unlock on an incoming call

Thanks for this information
i had come accross this in my search before and ive used throttle lock before which does work very well but as you said, this theme is only available in qvga at the moment so i couldnt try it
Unfortunately, i got bored of my omnia and ive now downgraded to a sony ericsson w980i until i can afford to buy a real android handset, preferably something with HTC Sense
So i'd like to thank everyone for their help but i will be closing this thread within the next few days unless anybody wants to carry it on?
Thanks
Throttle Lock is good but unfortunately it is still a little buggy at the moment, the newer versions of s2u2 from v 2.14 onwards are working perfectly plus there is a hero skin for it

Thats right and the configuration is not the best ... little bugy.
S2U2 is a good app ,
so we have to ask the developer if it possible
to make a secure unlock function like this :

if a_c were to redesign his screen locking app to move away from the iPhone style, i'd prefer to see one like the hero or droid. they're both very slick.

I agree with that.
i agree
but a_c could keep the S2U2 name if he just gave you the option of a hero style unlock aswell as the traditional iphone style unlock rather than removing the iphone style unlock altogether.
i suggested this through his website but got no reply

thanks a lot zentronic. i actually followed your video tutorial on how to make boot animations and i was able to get one working. not the one that i want but a trial one. not very difficult at all. the problems i was having was actually getting a decent video of mario getting the 5up. i downloaded an emulator and ran through 3 levels while recording my screen. i am able to watch the video just fine in wmp or other video players but when i try to import the video into a video editor it doesnt want to show up. the screen is mostly black in the video and not usable at all. very perplexing to me and i have no idea how to remedy the situation.
the only other way that i thought of to get decent video of mario is to have the right card in your computer to plug a game system directly into it and capture that video. i currently dont have that option so i figured it would just be easier to ask.
i figured it would be much easier to capture that video and edit it than to try to create that video from scratch. i want it to look like it came from an actual NES. i love that 8-bit look, dont want it to be too cartoony or anything.
i do have a capture card lying around somewhere that i will try to find and install into my computer so i can mess with this or at least have ready for the future.
EDIT
ok found my capture card and will be installing it in just a few min. i know i can edit videos captured this way without problems (ive done it before) so hopefully i will be able to start on this animation today.
I would like to ask in advance if i can use this in my Mario theme?

i am making progress on my version of this. im not sure if zentronic is still planning on taking a stab at it or not. when i get mine done i would have no problem with anyone using it. zentronic seems pretty cool so i doubt he would mind either but better safe than sorry. since this is my first real boot animation it will take some time but i will work on it every chance i get...i think i want this more than anyone else. i have a video now and im in the process of editing. im not a video editor by any means so there is probably an easier way but i dont know about it so i need to take baby steps to make sure i dont screw up. please have patience with me.

hey be patient, took me about a good month to comprehend everything in regards to themeing and theres still alot that i dont know.. patience is key and thanks in advance... =)
ill probably continually post in here to keep anyone interested up to date on my progress. im done working on it for tonight but i think i made a ton of progress today. i was thinking about possibly changing the "5UP" text to something else. maybe "booting" or something like that. id love suggestions as to what you all think could go in its place. i will make sure it looks good though so im thinking a longer phase might be a bit of an eye sore. who knows though. any suggestions will be considered and most likely tested.
huge progress today. the video editing is going much smoother than i though it would (adobe after effects is a pretty sweet program) i should only have 2-2.5 seconds of video left to edit. i over looked that part when i was first doing all my photoshop work. so i need to go back into photoshop which will probably be the longer of the two operations. its very possible that i will get the video editing done today, just taking a break. im sure i will get back to it later. off work for two days so it should be done, at the latest, by thursday evening. now i just hope i dont run into any unforseen roadblocks. i will also post a youtube video so you guys can preview...i love when previews are included.
Keep at it!

I actually changed it from 60 to 70 because I thought it went too long and played to slow
I will drop it back down to 60 fps and upload that as well. let me know if it is any better
Thanks for all the positive comments!
added 60fps video to OP
added original mario youtube video for comparison
added new boot animation and removed old ones
new one is
-not stretched like previous versions
-animation speed increase - not as choppy

Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

I thought Google added a snapshot framework to Gingerbread?

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

nope, I mean clock and notifications (sms, missed calls, ..) in grey like Nokia (symbian) has. And moving slightly over the screen as it was a screensaver

Exactly!
It doesnt matter if it is moving.
