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

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’.
So I have a wallpaper I just want on my homescreen as an image, not chopped out.
Like I have a picture of an animal and want it as my homescreen wallpaper but it just gets all chopped up and zoomed in.
What size do I need to make the wallpaper or what is the trick?
Thanks for any help.

Standard screen resolution is 480x854 at 240dpi, this means the native is 960x864 at 240dpi; if you take a picture with your camera and want to use the image for your screen wallpaper you'll see that, in the process, it tries to crop it down. During this process you'll have to move the crop boxes, dragging them in order to cover the whole area of the image (not just a piece).
You have to remember that those wallpapers are made to be scrolled so they are in such 3:4 aspect ratio - just see your device so to have the idea of the dimensions of the wallpaper.
Using a custom made wallpaper - an image - is fine but be careful about the dimension: the bigger, the fitter.
So check out the dimensions of the image you are using: a smaller image will be zoomed.
Thank you
You're welcome indeed =)
Hi, all!
I have JXD s7100B and when I changed custom bootscreen (only the last one. I can't find others to change them ), because there was a circle on the boot image, I've noticed that the image is deformed - when turned to lanscape mode it is "squished" verticaly. After that I've noticed the same with the icons on the launcher - however I rotate the screen shorter side is squished. I have an idea that maybe display is not WVGA (800x480pix) like it's set (and sold) but a WVGA NTSC (854x480) so I would like to change 800 to 854 somehow but leave 480 and dpi. I've searched forum and net and 90% of posts are changing dpi with LCD Resolution app or by editing build.prop but nothing I found says anyting about what I want to do. I found some resolutions in /system/bin/set_display_mode.sh but I've decided to ask first if someone knows what I should do. Can you help me? Can I change one dimension with some app or by editing some file?
Hey all I am trying to design a wallpaper for my 80 g9 but don't what size to make it. I am using photoshop and don't know the right pixel amount to use. Thanks in advance
Took this straight from the Tech Specs page on the Archos website.
Display characteristics • 8”: 1024 x 768
Hope it helps!
On my Cobalt it crops the image to a 768x768 cross then enlarges it to a 1024x1024 cross so it should fit both portrait and landscape but it looks awful.
So it may be an idea to enlarge the canvas in Photoshop to 1024x1024, then set it as your wallpaper on the device so it is cropped without being resized
I've done some experimenting.
The best results are to use photoshop to add a large border around the image you want, basically set the canvas size to twice the current dimensions or more, this will reduce the amount of resizing the tablet does when you crop.
Now, with the mask that the wallpaper crop tool gives you, even though the landscape section is in the middle, it is wrong, the top of the landscape section is actually the top of the outer rectangle, so the top most line of the rectangle will be the top most line of the final cropped image.
