I was looking through the evo4g forums and found some really nice boot animations and splash screens. Can I use them since the screen resolutions are the same?

Hi there.
Wondering if it's just me, but do most wallpapers seem to look really bad? I just put some hi res wallpapers I use on my laptop on my phone, but they all look terrible when set and don't get why. I have very few wallpapers that actually look good on my phone.
edit: Thinking about it, will they only look good if they're the same resolution size as my screen?
If you are using gallery to set them , and your pictures are high res , gallery most likely is messing up. Try setting wallpaper with "QuickPic" from maket and let us know if its better.
I9100 screen resolution is 480*800, so a wallpaper at that resolution will certainly look better. But as it has 8 homescreens you can also use 960*800 wallpaper, which will be a scrollable one, besides you can put a HD wallpaper too, you just have resize it by dragging the orange lines to the corners perfectly.
Regards.
You must mean the color banding you see. The SGS2's stock firmware has a 16-bit screen driver. The guys from Cyanogen hinted at making it 32-bit, making the screen look beautiful, but it'll take a long while.
Somewhere I think Samsung downclocked everything there is on the SGS2. Because now it all of a sudden charges faster than before, it's faster. And I wouldn't look up if they overclocked it to 1.5 ghz. I bet they have something up their sleeves for the 16-bit screen.
When I read what I just typed, I actually think that won't happen.. Mehh
When I look really closely at my Amaze 4G's SLCD screen, I can see a small horizontal line pattern overlaying (a lot easier to see at maximum brightness and with brightly colored icons). It's not really noticeable at a normal distance from the eye, but I was just wondering if my screen was defective or if anyone else has something like this on their's?
Also, I found that the moving objects in the screen (icons, menu labels, etc) tend to blur a lot more than the super AMOLED screen I had on my old phone when they're in motion around the screen. Is this normal?

I have the blur a bit too. I believe that is just normal. I'm not sure what you mean by white lines though, I can't see any on my screen.
I have the blur as well. I guess it is normal.
yeah i can see the pixels too, i notice this as soon as i got this phone as i had the sensation before and the screen on the sensation was muuuuch nicer even though they say its the same its not.. it was better in every way and yeah the blur when you move the screen in certain menus..i already complained to htc saying i felt like this phone was a downgrade from my sensation instead of an upgrade!
Ah okay so it's not just me. Thanks for letting me know, it's a shame that the screen isn't as nice, but it's not so bad that it's a deal breaker I guess
When my screen is off, I can see vertical lines. But I know that's the polarization of the screen... Can't do anything about it!

Touch digitizer maybe?
Not fine lines, there were like 6 or so and they were roughly 5mm thick. Now that I try to see them again... I can't 0.o They're gone! lol
My girlfriends' SII recently got her screen burned in,which got me thinking "can this happen to me?" Is it even a problem for us EVO users? I know the screen for the SII wasn't an LCD screen , and I believe the EVO's is. Any answers will be appreciated!
LCD do not burn in, which is what the EVO LTE has.
IPS LCD screens can have what is called image retention or image persistence, which looks like burn in, but it is temporary and goes away if you stop using your device for awhile or flash a bunch of colors quickly on the screen for awhile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence
Amoled screens can have burn in, which is what your girlfriend has. This is why I cannot understand why people want onscreen buttons on phones like the galaxy nexus. I would guess a majority of Galaxy Nexus phones will have their navigation buttons permanently displayed(it is really faint usually) on their phones within a year and it can probably be seen during any full screen activity in which a gray or similar light colored background is shown.
I am not sure if the Super LCD2 used in the EVO LTE is an IPS screen or not(I think it is based on a quick google search and the fact that the colors and blacks look amazing) so I can't tell you for sure if it will have image retention issues, which again, are not permanent anyway.
Thanks! That's exactly what I thought, I just wanted a second opinion. Thanks for clarifying the difference between image retention and screen burn in. I'm fine with it as long as its not permanent.
If you find the image retention lasting a long time, you can run something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel&hl=en
It's meant to detect dead pixels, but by cycling through all the colors, it "erases" the image retention.
Ideally, you can find a video on youtube (there are plenty), just search for monitor calibration or hdtv calibration and then play that video for 5-20 min. (The video should just be rotating full screens of colors like the dead pixel finder)
Has anyone been able to change the static Nvidia Shield TV splash logo? It's a bit dull and I'm not able to find any information on changing it. I'd prefer to get some better eye candy there. Any help would be appreciated!
This is a bootanimation that fits well with the bootloader splash screen.

Nice one, I like how the Android logo slides down.
Nice

Looks cool, but eats up all the phone resources. I don't recommend using it, it slows down the boot time significantly.
