[Q] Change Start Menu Wallpaper Quality?

I prefer to use the regular (not HQ Wallpaper) wallpaper setting in CHT, but when I set the same wallpaper for the start menu, via Settings -> Today -> Use this image as background,
the image is very clearly in HQ mode, as it seems to distort non-HQ wallpapers, I am trying to find a way to change the setting to just regular.
Can anybody help me to achieve this?
Dude do you have to spam every single thread with that?
There's like what, 5 or 6 HD2 subfora, if you want to make everyone reeeeaaly super aware of the poll, couldn't you just start your own thread in each of them?
It's a little ridiculous, every other thread I read, I see your spam in it.

Custom Boot Animation (Mine and feel free to link your own)

OKay just saw the cursom boot animation request thread but I thought I would offer a place that people that have made personal animations to just link for others....I only have one I might make more but just wanted to share it....it is Transformers 3 intro into Sentinals Eye but it ends Saying Transformer Prime....the "S" (from Transformers) shatters and "Prime" fades in....
It is a bit glitchy but I am not sure how to fix it...in my editor it looks fine.

PS: First of all I am not an expert in any way, I just wanted my boot animation like this...the settings in desc could probably be optimized more and also the boot time I think take a bit longer due the length of the clip and the resources needed....feel free to edit as much as you would like
AND PLEASE POST ANY BOOT ANIMATIONS YOU WANT TO SHARE
Your links are broken. Except for the last one.
Thanks for that...fixed now
If anyone is looking for something custom feel free to hit me up, I am more then willing to help out. Let me know what you are looking and we can hash it out. I have been building boot animations for the primalicious rom.

How do you setup a custom boot animation, been wondering this for while....

[Q] SPC_downanimation.zip

Ok so I was switching out my boot animations and found one that I liked. However, I also wanted to switch out the animation that plays when my phone is shutdown/restarted. I noticed the file SPC_Downanimation.zip. Logic told me that this was the file I needed to modify. That logic happened to be accurate. However, every bootanimation that I've loaded as the down animation displays at a resolution completely different than it does when it is the opening boot animation. The downanimation only takes up the top left quarter of the screen. It also does not loop. Does anyone know the difference between these two types of animations? And how can I get my downanimation.zip to format correctly to the screen's resolution?

The downanimation.zip you are wanting to add should have a desc.txt file inside of it. Open it in a text editor and make the top line of text look like this for the proper resolution.
720 1280 20
The way it plays is dictated by the rest of the text. The downanimation file I looked at from my phone looked like this on the other line:
p 1 1 android
That's a lot different than most bootanimations I have seen... My guess is you'll have to hack up what you want to add to make it match, or be really close, to what was already there. Good luck!

Is that for the stock downanimation screen or within a custom ROM? I am running Viper on mine right now so the downanimation is different. I think you're right though. Now that I think about it. When I originally sifted through the desc.txt files of the various bootanimations I wanted I was only looking at the resolution. I wasn't looking at anything else. All of them had 720 1280 20 in them so I figured they would play correctly.
The other thing I didn't understand was that I could take the exact same bootanimation, name it SPC_bootanimation.zip, and it would play just fine (proper resolution and FPS). But if I simply changed the file name to SPC_downanimation.zip it would completely screw up. Logic, at least to me, would state that the desc.txt parameters for animation functionality would be the same within both animation types regardless of whether they are at startup or shutdown. The only difference, again within my logic and understanding, would be the file name that is called upon from the shutdown routine. That is the part that really baffles me. *shrug*

I think there is a limitation on the file size of downanimations, but I don't know what that number is... If you do happen to get some to work, please post them. Good luck!

[Q] Can I get some help changing a boot animation?

I'm running Chubbz-Gruesome's Sense 4.1, It's a lovely ROM and the boot animation is cool because it was clearly build from scratch, But there are much better one's that I'd love to be running on my daily driver.
I've done the file explorer and it failed and made my phone spaz out and I had to reflash the rom, that sucked...
I really want to change it. It's the only thing bothering me with the rom.
Just checked a suggested threah, should I have to rename it to the same thing after I put it in?
Solved.
ALRIGHT! Figured it out, It has to be named the same thing as the original on your rom.
Good to know that you resolved it.
Have you tried the 3D Boot Animation? It's pretty cool.

I've ran it from Paranoid android and another one, I think MIUI and it is awesome, Once I found out how to do it i SWEAR I've changed it to 15 different one's I've upzipped my entire "ROM list" which is a real folder on my C drive haha. I have around 30 roms I keep them all. For things like this.
I have a few more questions, I'm trying to find a downanimation
I wanna take an bootanimation and rename is to down and see if it'll work... Think it will?? Does anyone have any education in this area? Or maybe editing a bootanimation to make it shorter and turning it into a downanimation, I wanna take the one from "Jelly-Belly" it's the nexus thing, which is awesome, and use it as my down. Hope it'll work.
NEXT QUESTION, The rom I'm running had a .mp3 in the folder with the bootanimation, It was some transformery sound, I deleted it haha, BUT! Can I find a sound snippet of something I want, Name it the same thing, and then reboot and enjoy my awesome booy animation along with my awesome sound!!! Please tell me I can!!!

Success With the sound, Coolest phone boot EVER!! haha, Now if I only had a downanimation, Mine is just a black screen for about 5 seconds.
Can I go even further to put sound on my downanimation once I get there? I wouldn't know what to name it is the only problem there if it is doable.

Here is an idea, instead of renaming the files every time, I just put all the files where I want them.
There should be a file called default.xml in the /system/customize/CID/ directory. Open this with a text editor and you can find the sections for boot animation and shutdown animation. Here you can just insert the names and locations of the files you want to launch for bootup or shutdown.
Hope this helps.

So you're talking about this portion of the xml right?
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" audio="/data/local/htc_boot.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="10" />
So theoreticly I can add audio="/data/local/htc_boot_2.mp3"/> between downanimation.zip" and image ""fps="10"/>
And if can I change the downanimations name to simply "downanimation.zip" and then put a custom there named simply "downanimation.zip" would that work? or does it need to be hTC_downanimation?

Can you flash Venom tweaks over any rom? I'm running a rom with Nocturnal Tweaks, I'm not sure if you can have more than one That'd be cool though.
And I've changed my boot, Trying to change my down, And add sound to the down.

[Q] android, how to create device boost animations?

I want to design an animation for my app. Users click "boost now" icon and it boosts his phone while displaying a fancy animation.
Problem is I have no clue how to do these animations. I'd like your input on how to do it, I'm familiar with android but haven't done any fancy graphics.
Here's two boosting functions I'd like to try and learn from:
youtu.be/yy3fegnuKGI
youtu.be/PAKjKvRmE_c
Please guide me to reasources/tutorials on the subject. I apologize if my question is not specific, I'm just clueless.
There is a guide at /showthread.php?t=1852621 .
To put it simple: A boot animation is just a bunch of png files, which are displayed at a certain rate.
So no fancy animations or gifs, I hope you are not too sad about it .
