Can someone help me out right here, I'm trying to make a BF3 picture the background image for my statusbar and I'm trying to figure out what is the exact size of the image. I thought it was 480x800 cause that's the size of the image i replaced but it doesn't come out correctly. Mainly trying to figure out what is that white bar at the bottom and how to get rid of it and the bar on the right side of it.
Well if you set it up as a 9 patch you shouldn't have to worry about size.
Nevermind, I started messing around with the image size and changed it to 540x900 and it fixed the issue.

Cool, also...if you looked at the Magnifier ROM and extracted the file under Magnifier\SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi You can see the status_bar_background.9.png (which was 540x960 - and S0ckM0nk3y did an awesome job with it.

And anyways, I found the cause of the white flashing. The thumbs.db file was the problem. Here is links to the bootanimation from the Vibrant thread but without the thumbs.db file:

Take the bootanimation.zip and copy/move it to your /system/media folder. Make sure you change the r/w to ro (top right if using root explorer) not sure with file mananger, this suould be the way if you have cm6 - cm7 rom.
Thanks to linknight & Mrdaviso for thier contribute.
can you post here, not a registered user for that site.

The frames are in portrait orientation so they are really scrunched up. Someone on the Vibrant forums made a landscape mode that looks awesome, but it doesn't work right because for some reason there is a white frame that flashes everytime the animation loops.
Here is the Vibrant thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968410
The landscape version is on the bottom of the page. If someone here could fix the looping issue, that would be awesome since I can't figure it out. I even posted a video of it on the 2nd page.

This is the same animation except for the bee in the begining.
Just checked: My animation looks like that without the white flashing.

Yes, the OP on the Vibrant forums is the same animation without the bee, but if you scroll to the bottom of the first page there is the landscape version that looks much better, but there is white flashing when I use that one (at least for me)

Ok, how does it look better with white flashing?
I never said it looked better with the white flashing. The landscape one looks better because the animation fits the screen better, but the landscape one has the white flashing, which is a bad thing.

Maybe I'm mixing the portrait/landscape names up, but the one posted in this thread looks worse than the one in the vibrant page on the bottom of pg 1. Its scrunched up compared to the other one, but the other one gives me the white flashes.

If you downloaded the one in this thread, then it is not the same as mine from the video. Here is the quote of the version I'm using from the Vibrant thread:
zul8er said:
Well ok. I created a landscape version of both so it doesn't look scrunched up. It looks great in the previewer.
Download landscape version.
No bee, just honeycomb animation
With bee, and honeycomb animation
**Edit**
Just put the landscape version with the bee and it looks much better

The above versions look better, but they cause the white flashes. This is the one I used for the video I posted.
I reformatted my computer and can't find my Photoshop disk . If someone can whip something up really fast for me, you would make my month. I just need a black screen with the text 'Be good or be good at it.' in white, Calibri, in the center in landscape. If you have the time/skill, a fade in with some kind of horizontal traversing animation would be much appreciated it.
Thank you!

Hey Rahul,
You don't have to resize any images to be honest. But I usually only resize the power menu icons to 24x24 so that they're all the same size. Also the notification bar icons to the same size, 16x16 or 8x8, because otherwise some icons look huge in comparison to others.
For instance, the gps icon should be the same size as the battery icon. Do you know what I mean?
^ok....
Can you also suggest tools for resize

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been on vacation since Thursday afternoon. What ROM are you currently using?
That screenshot looks like it was from an earlier version of the minimal matte theme. I would suggest using the newest 2.0 and see if that fixes it!
If not let me know and I will check into that for you!
You are great guys, i know there are a lot of forums where you can find everything step by step but nothing can be better for newbies than a wellmade video

I was always thought that the text color is within the actual ROM itself. Let me ask Lestat if it's within the framework apk file though.

It does work fine. Thanks much - and also thanks for your work on these neat in-call screens.
I'd agree about finding a new upload site, though. Mediafire loads up your computer with adware.

You don't need to edit the .9 in a complicated way to change the colour, a simple colour mod works fine. The keyboard on the other hand, I'm still working on it as well.
Nah, I think for text bubbles its diff. I changed the color to white but its stretched weird and the text is misaligned.
