[Q] Viewpad 7 Wallpapers HowTo - Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants

Hi. Love Viewpad 7 & Hate Viewsonic documentation, and howto support. How can I create my own wallpapers? If I try to use a photo via Wallpapers -> Gallery
-> Select my photo, 800x480 but I am forced to crop just a part of my whole photo. The result is my photo gets cropped !!! I am a newbie but extensive Web search did not help anyway. Please help ...

Are you using stock rom or rooted, custom ROM & launcher? Do you have the option to turn off wallpaper scrolling (like mine using ADW instead)?
Also, try compressing/re-sizing your photo wallpaper to 640x480 or even 320x240? On mine, I can crop/shrink or enlarge the size of the wallpaper to fit ....

Thanks Lititride. My VPAD7 is rooted, and my ROM is EUViewpad7V1.4.zip. I am resizing images with some success. I did get angry with forced crop of my images. I did not find any wallpaper scrolling option. Have a good day !

VPad7 Desktop Wallpaper Howto.
We must process source image to be transferred to VPad7. Its geometry must be 576x288, being the upper half part of a 576x576 pattern image. I suggest to create a 576x576 blank pattern image as a template to be reused, and two windows applications: IrfanView and LView or any other you prefer.
VPad7 screen geometry is 800x480; aspect ratio is 1.666, but desktop wallpaper must be widther to provide horizontal scroll, when diferent desktops are shown.
Desktop process (Part 1):
a) We must first choose the image, we want to be our desktop wallpaper. Its aspect ratio must be equal to 2 (1024x512, 800x400, in general 2LxL).
b) After source image is selected, it must be resized to 576x288.
Note: I find IrfanView very appropiate, to perform a) & b) steps.
c) Resultant version of image must pasted as the upper half of Pattern0.jpg image.
Note: I perform this step, opening Pattern0.jpg image with LView application, and copying from IrfanView, step b) image to LView, upper half of pattern opened image.
d) I save full modified Pattern0.jpg image, as a new name one, and transfer it to a folder at SDHC card, into VPad7.
VPad7 process (Part 2):
Now we use VPad7 wallpaper setup, using Gallery option.
1. Touch desktop free area for 3 seconds.
2. Select Wallpaper at menu prompt.
3. Select Gallery at next menu prompt.
4. Select the image formatted at Desktop process (Part 1).
5. Resize crop area to full size, locating it at the top border of image.
6. Select Save.
7. Wait and cheers. Enjoy your new wallpaper !!

Sorry about a possible confusion about my reference to Pattern0.jpg. It is the name I provided, to the blank pattern image, 576x576 geometry, I suggest to create at the beginning of Howto.
Have a wonderfull wallpapers !!

Im currently working on a flash application that displays the Manila 3D weather animations.
The first idea was to have that on M2D, but it prooved impossible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471461
To use this EXE you'll need Flash 7 (lite 3 FINAL will work too, but you'll need to install flash 7 first) and a internet connection (PC sync or GPRS/3G).
The download is quite large (17mb) because of the animations, so I wasnt able to post it here, you have the download from the link below.
In future updates you'll only need to update the main EXE or the data files, so they will be less than 1mb and so, posted here.
I'd like to thank Rumball for giving me permission to use his animations and The_hesham for pushing this idea.
I still need to find a tool to force the internet connection, if there isnt one active already, and obviously add this as a option on the settings.
One thing that always made me some confusion in M2D, and I think it would be nice to implement, if you last updated the weather the day before or two days ago, it should show the actual current day result and simply remove the last days that doesnt know the variables of.
Mini-FAQ:
-----------
Got a wider screen and two white stripes appear?
Unfortunatly the tool I use to make the EXE files only allows qvga and vga screen sizes... If you know another SWF>EXE tool that fixes this, let me know.
Got different slightly results in M2D and this app?
The m2d conversion from Farenheight to celsius is slightly incorrect... Only the farenheight measure is recorded on the registry, so if you choose celsius, m2d makes this conversion: (farenheight - 32) / 1.8 = celsius
But if the result is, for example, between 12.1 or 12.9 the value shown is always 12º. My conversion rounds up anything above 0.5 to +1.0. I think thats the way it should be. And thats why you get different results in M2D and this app.
The animation is really slow...
Its basicly 20-40 PNG files inside each flash swf file, thats why its so heavy (16mb), if it was all vectorial, like the TEMPUS plugin, it would only be less than 1mb, the png sequence is also slow on the display, depends on you free RAM and video driver.
It was made for 400mhz or better machines, flash is still slow in the current CPUs, maybe in the future... :/
Its not really working for me.
Check all items in the TO USE list. The first non-official release of Flash lite 3 is buggy and wont work! The final will.
Can I translate it in my language?
Sure, the DATA.TXT is already (mostly) translated in Portuguese, Romanian and Italian here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471461
You have some more instruction on the end of this post.
Can I make other icon animations or wallpapers?
Sure, create a theme, its a background wallpaper and animated icons. The instructions are in the end of this post.
Can I use this as a today plugin?
Not yet, when its finished I'll release the sourcode and (with the help of APBilbo) make a THROTTLE LAUNCHER version.
Got a error on the results...
The update sometimes fails, just reload/re-update or cancel/re-open things, sorry about that...
I cant see the icons...
Roms in other languages have different names for the SD card and Program files. Check if the path on the settings is the same as yours. Change it accordingly.
I cant see any words...
This is a reaaaaally smart bug from me... I didnt antecipated that ppl with the above problem couldnt read the text to change the text varibles path. :/
You can either press the bottom-right grey button and then the one that appears directly on top of that one... that opens the settings area. Now change the path on the top text area and press the OK button.
Or.. thru the registry, with Resco explorer or any other registry tool here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\W3D\Settings\PATH
I cant see anything!
Either your Pocket pc is on stand-by, in that case simply press the power button. Or your eyes are closed, in wich case you cant really read my advice to open them...
My City is not on the list.
- Go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/ajax-functions/favoriteCities.asp?region=EUR&country=UK
Change the end of the link to your country, PT=Portugal, UK=United Kingdom, ES=Spain, etc...
- ...OR, just click in http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 , then write down you "city, country", press GO and it shows your code in the middle of the ADDRESS BAR link.
- Now send me the code (post here or send me by email).
- Add it manually to your cities with the help of the mighty flash keyboard.
Whats new:
-------------
- Fixed the non-WWE bug to see the settings button.
- Added "last updated on" info.
- Added (semi-)Smart* day Weather (tells what day TODAY is)
- Fixed minor coding bugs
- Added some more cities to the online database.
Replace the attached file on the first post to update.
To use:
--------
- Install Flash 7 (if you dont have it already): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
- Download the 17mb zip below.
- Extract and place all the files inside on your /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D and create a shortcut for the EXE (with resco explorer or something). This path can be changed in the settings menu.
- Update the latest files attached here.
- If the 6th image on this post appears on you, its the online update that went wrong, just press UPDATE NOW (make sure you have an existing internet connection already running).
To do:
--------
- Create a update error loop, if the online values arent correctly received.
- Create internet connection + new setting to disable this.
- Convert fscommands to trottle launcher version and release the source-code.
Creating Themes:
--------------------
- Icons must be individual swf files, exported as flash 7, must have the same name as the ones on the "current_theme" folder, 240x200 px size and (this is important) have in the last frame the LABEL parado with the CODE stop();. The icon theme's name is the name of the folder. I added a animation example attached to this post.
- Wallpapers are jpg's in 240x295 px saved in standart enconding, progressive enconding will not appear on flash, this is a old flash bug. They must be on the same folder as the icons.
If you have a VGA or any other sized screen, you can change the JPG size to whatever fits you best.
- The language file data.txt can be renamed to data_sp.txt (as spanish, for example) or any other name you'd like, just remenber to change it on the settings too. I added the Portuguese language as an example also.
Note that the first variable doesnt have the & character and that they all finish with &END, this is normal.
If you have a special character that doesnt appear, tell me what it is, so that I can embebbed it into the app.

Hi, twolf !
Move to this topic then.
Thanks for Great job !!
One question, how can I get it works on WQVGA (omnia)? (It actually works, but not full screen. It has white background at the top and bottom of the screen)
Thanks.
Unfortunately the tool I use to make the EXE files only allow qvga and vga screen sizes...

There's currently no "Choose city" interface like in M2D, so you will need yo know your city code, see it here:
- Go to: http://www.accuweather.com/includes/...EUR&country=UK
- Change the end of the link to your country (US users only need a 5-digit area code), PT=Portugal etc...
...I'll try to find a way to get that info from the m2d cities xml, but no promisses.
I still need to find a tool to force the internet connection, if there isnt one active already, and obviously add this as a option on the settings.

If the 6th image on this post appears on you, its the update that went wrong, just press UPDATE NOW.
To do:
--------
- City chooser (no need for the keyboard).
- I couldnt find the settings for the "high temperature" and "low temperature" for the current day. But I think its really not needed.
- The "last updated on" text doesnt make the timed account, it just tells at what time was updated. Not sure if I'll leave this as it is, since it will be -a lot- of work for a little detail
- Smart today weather (shows the correct daily weather, no matter how long on the week you last updated).
- Fix the icon package (the renamed 8 files).
- Create internet connection + new setting to disable this.
- Create a update error loop, if the online values arent correcly received.

thx for the help.....
This appears to be a simple path error, see what is the name of your storage card on the file explorer, that should be it.
Notice that the time variables are there, but he cant find the icons or text data file.
Yes...i've changed the name, in the path, of my sd...(as you can see in the picture) but there is always the problem......

Olá twolf.
Esta app que desenvolveste apenas se destina a HTCs ou pode ser usada noutros PDAs?
Hi twolf.
This app you've developed is for HTCs only, or it can be used on other PDAs?

I did saw it, but I dont know if its well written...
There could be missing a character or have a special character with an accent like á ò ú...
Or "program files" could be "programmes" or something like that.
Could you send a printscreen of the full path in the file explorer app?
Or try to place the datafile in the root's memory so it would just be like: \data.txt
and them make the full path on the settings be just \
This way the icons still wont appear, but the names will.
And you could see that it must be a path error somehow.

Any Windows Mobile pds with Flash 7 and internet access, havent tested it on WM2003...
Great,does it supports Chinese Language now?
Hmmm... Not yet, sorry.
Its just a matter of adding a chinese font swap to the text areas.
I'll have to do that last, since the export will be muuuuuch slower after.
But at the moment all my projects are stopped, as explained on my sig.
Hi again twolf.
I've installed the app but i'm not seing any icons, wallpaper,and text in the butttons...
I can add cities and see the temps.
No data.txt is generated.
PS: Sorry... Theres a data.txt in W3D_SE folder...
It's Storage Card\Program Files\W3D\W3D_SE
Its not generated automaticly, you have to copy the files manually to the folder you created.
By default it should be in Storage card\Program files\W3D but you can put them wherever you want, just edit that in the settings area.
You can place the EXE there too, but thats not mandatory.
---edit---
I see now that my directions were misleading, I changed that from the first post, sorry.
It's working!
Thanks... The problem was that i was extracting the W3D_SE folder in W3D when i should extract only the content.
By the way, it's great!
I uploaded a new zip, with clearer instructions.
This is the print screen....thx for your help...

Yes, your path is correct.
JonasSavimbi made me notice something I mislead ppl with the older zip, your W3D folder should have the data.txt, wall.jpg and icons folder inside. Not another W3d_SE folder.
Sorry about that.

[APP] [09.12.2009] Link Creator v1.5 - UPDATED

Hi All,
I've made a simple application, that creates the link to any file/application and then puts that link to Windows\Start Menu\Programs or any other selected by You folder...
I've noticed that when using TouchFlo3D, you can't just add to Program Tab any link, any program, there is no browsing option, link has to be in Start Menu Folder. Making links with notepad or Word is not an easy / simple thing, that's why Link Creator was made ... to make life simpler
discussion and attachment in main thread (on Diamond board )
XDA Thread
Version 1.5
fixed:
1) Support of WVGA now it's more finger friendly
2) Additional shortcut to explore and manage special folders
3) Bigger Fonts ! better accuracy in choosing folders / files...
4) no automatic softreset after changing manilla softkey (it was very annoying)
- minor changes...
Version 1.4
added:
1) Save as Manilla Softkey (Left and Right Softkey, and it works very well with arguments - so now creating link to for ex.TouchLockPro with additional LOCK argument is very easy...)
2) Create URL/Mail - now You can create mail or www.* link and put it to whatever you want place - it uses default - signed to specified type system program (for browsing www and creating emails)
fixed:
1) exception when file doesn't exist (in selecting File and clicking OK) - now if everything is all right OK button will be colored to Red otherwise you will be promped with msg.
2) installation problem with adding shortcut to Link Creator to the Start Menu\Programs - now it's fixed (on not WWE Roms for ex. Polish Roms there was problem with it)
3) in 1.3 version link additional argument was added under inverted commas (1#"\FOLDER\program.exe argument"), now it's fixed (added checkbox "argument outside inverted commas" for default it is checked... and now arguments are after commas - so we get sth like this: - 1#"\FOLDER\program.exe" argument - and it works
4) added space (****.exe"_) while saving link with argument (so now, there is no need to type additional one blank space in arguments textbox)
5) fixed all "Save In..." problems "Folder doesn't exist"
6) Key Mapping Problems solved
7) some layout changes.
to do:
1) setting icons
2) editor for created link
3) soft keys for System
4) saving with UTF-8 for speciall chars like ś, ą, ę... others
5) make program more finger friendlly - bigger scrollbars, dropdown lists etc.
Version 1.3
Changes:
1) changed "Select File to Link" explorer: short directory listing for better navigation
2) changed "Save in Selected Place" explorer: short directory listing, for better navigation
3) changed Menu style
4) added "Manage Links" - an explorer that gives you ability to find any link files (supoorted filters are: *.lnk, *.lnkbak, *.*) on your PPC and then you can rename, delete, or delete them (by changing it's extension (*.lnk -> *.lnkbak) )
5) added fingerfriendly popup menu for "Manage Links" (-Close-)
6) added "Save as Key Mapping" - special in Windows direcotory filename creator, that gives You ability to map some Hardware Keys with your "files" (Long Press Send Button, Long Press Power Button, Short Press Power Button). There are two options for Save as Key Mapping: a) saving special filename, b) deleting special filename.
Version 1.2
Changes:
1) added "auto counting chars method"
2) removed .net openfiledialog
3) added my own "explorer" for searching "to be linked file"
4) excluded System.Windows.Forms.dll (back to very small size of cab installer 12KB)
5) some "label" changes...
version 1.1:
Added:
1) file filtering: all files, exe, jpg, bmp, png, mp3, wav, avi, mp4, wmv, txt, pdf, doc
2) changed caption Select Exe to Select File
3) new Menu Options:
- Save in Programs
- Save in Start Menu
- Save in StartUp
- Save in Selected Place
- Close
4) included System.Windows.Forms.dll for same openfiledialog on every .net platform... (I guess )
(thanks to Mieszko Zagańczyk from SmartMobile.pl for testing and noticing problem with filtering and different open file dialog on his Touch HD)
version 1.0
first release
Thank you very handy app
Great app, thank you very much
Had tried to install this a couple days ago (found it at another site) but couldn't do so because 3.5 framework issues. Any chance of getting this using 2.0?
nice app!ThX for Sharing!
new version 1.4 released
new Version 1.5 released

Change and/or create a bootanimation, the beloved FLIPOUT :D

Hello friends of the forum "XDADevelopers"
This is my first post in the forum, I hope will be useful.
First of all I want to say this I am translating with google translator is that I'm not good with English, I apologize
While waiting for the glorious arrival of some ROM Froyo (Android 2.2) for our FLIPOUT modear or at least get the current version we have a
faster and with all the benefits we want (In this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110941 there is a rom that I have not tested but looks good )
Perhaps you are someone who wants to get their hands on the system files and make an occasional change, of course, changes do not affect the integrity of our cel, because there are all kinds of tutorials but there are times when things do not go as want and then, goodbye FLIPOUT.
This time I bring a small tuto that can be performed without problems, the procedure is simple.
It is, as the title says, to change and create a bootanimation.
Yes, to change the operator logo that appears in our current bootanimation, in my case "Vomistar."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I researched and managed to create some as bootanimation abound on the Internet at high resolutions (for other high-end smartphone) and there is absolutely nothing for our beloved FLIPOUT, so these bootanimation must be unique in its kind in the entire network (I hope not to exaggerate).
Hands to work:
'Before I tell you something, my cel Android is version 2.1-update 1, theirs must be the same.
-So I usually put the operators hand and manage the software and put them on bootanimation with your logo.
-When turning on the cel, the first thing that comes out is a picture called "Splash" in my cel is this:
The mine is the Motorola logo. I want to see yours, take it a photo? And SHARING.
This can not be changed at the moment is a bit complicated (If you're a large)
-NOT CHARGING THE BOOTANIMATION of their respective operations, so I go up, I would appreciate yours to be appreciated.
-To do all these steps have to have your cel "root".
They also need the "Root Explorer" (To access the Android system folders) can be downloaded here (Because the Market is not ): CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD.
-ALWAYS REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP FILES COPIED, ALWAYS!
Choose the bootanimation they like personally, I like that make some mischief to "Apple"
If you do not like any, below I'll show you to your own
All come in 320x240 resolution, I took the time to square and put a good quality (13MB weighing there, it's worth because they are stretched or pixelized)

CHANGE BOOTANIMATION
Step: 1
All steps will be using the "Root explorer".
They should know that there are 2 access routes to the bootanimation (I've tried putting in any of the 2 routes of 10 and it worked, but decided to opt
FOLLOWING the path: "data-> local", is simpler because we need not give permission to the script).
One is:
"/ Data / local" = It is not necessary to stick to our bootanimation permissions (I did a backup of the file that was here, come on. Zip I tried to unzip but I could not secure the same thing will happen)
Use this route, do not cause problems.
And another:
"System / media" = To paste the bootanimation here must give write permissions "MountR / O"
Picture 1
This route was the bootanimation of "Vomistar." Leave it well, do not change.
WE WILL NOT USE THIS ROUTE
COME TO ROUTES 2 BOOTANIMATION and copy, just in case. IF AFTER MAY, I would appreciate if THE RISE TO ANY SERVER AND SHARE, THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Now:
-Copy the bootanimation they like the SD card.
-In "Root Explorer", go to the SD card.
The path is:
"/ Sdcard /"
Picture 2
Diringanse which hit the bootanimation and copy it (To copy a file from the "Root Explorer", should maintain pressure on the file until it comes out options)
Picture 3
Picture 4
Picture 5
After copying the file, they will 2 options at the bottom:
"Paste and Cancel", do not translate to know what it means.
Then go to the route (standard SD card, just go back, use the back arrow)
"/ Data / local" (as shown in the image) and press "Paste" (No need to give write permissions "MountR / O" for this).
Overwrite the file located there.

Picture 8
Picture 9
Picture 10
Waiting and ready.

Reset the cel and see the changes to the load.
CREATE A BOOTANIMATION
Creating a bootanimation is something simple (simple is the uploading ) Depends on the knowledge they have about image editing and video editing, etc, etc.
For this we will use an interesting video I've seen (as for a bootanimation).
Located in the youtube and this is the direction (Or they can choose a video of your choice; D):
Download with Free YouTube and the "No conversion" (or the program of your choice), so that does not affect its quality.
Once downloaded, turn them in. Avi 320x240 resolution (this resolution is relative, can set the size you wish).
For this I use a program called "Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 5.1.39," is very good, you can search by Google or San taringa San haha
Because the video has a resolution larger and may have a conflict with the program at the time to take pictures of GIF.
Once converted the file. Avi, paseremos to make picture boxes.
For this we need the help of this small program: GIF Animator 5 is portable and works on version 10! CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
The run, and let the option:
File -> New
Picture 12
FOLLOWING in the sale, we put on for size: 320x240, otherwise leave it at that.
Picture 13
Now, proceed to load the video into. Avi. For this, press on:
File-> Add video
Picture 14
Once you have chosen our video, the program will ask if we replace the existing table with the start of the video, if you give.
Picture 15
We waited a while, until fresh
Picture 16
Once loaded all the video, export it.
File-> Save-> Image
Picture 17
Next, we will ask a folder to save our video.
Put any name (The program will automatically offer you a number to the tables)
The check "Export all frames" must be selected (by default the images are pictures in. PNG)
Picture 18
Close the program (no need to save, unless you want)
We can see the selected folder is full of pictures
The following programs will use is:
"Adobe ImageReady CS2," look it up in the San Google (I've seen portable versions in Taringa )
Picture 19
Note:
To see the different windows editing ImageReady, go to "Window" and activate the windows they want to see.
That matter most are:
Layers
Animation
By default when you press on the "Window-> Workspace-> default palette locations", you can not see the window "Animation."
In ImageReady, create a new document:
File-> New
Picture 20
Next, we ask that we put a name to our work (Place you want)
And the size, we can: 320x240 (This is the screen size that supports our FLIPOUT)
The option that says "content of the first layer," not very important (I put white)
And we give OK
Picture 21
After we got our picture box (created with GIF Animator)
File-> Import-> Folder as frames
Picture 22
Select the folder and OK. This takes a little bit.
Picture 23
We see pictures of images loaded into a new document
Picture 24
Now for the NEXT window (the window that says "Animation." To activate this window, go to "Window" and activate the check on "Animation") and press the button with the symbol "Play" and choose "Select all tables."
Picture 25
Then we come back to press the botóon "Play" and choose the option "Copy Pictures".
Picture 26
We closed our current window and save the changes, we "No" (Do not worry we have already copied the pictures)
Picture 27
We return to our document created and click on the button "Play" and choose "Paste Frames".
Picture 28
The table comes out, choose the option:
"Paste the selection", wait a while and go.
Picture 29
They stick all the pictures in the "Animation" and in the "Layers."
In the "Layers" delete a file that is named "Background".
Picture 30
Now select all the frames of the video (In the window that says "Animation") Press the "Play" and choose "Select All Frames."
Note: You can also work for separate boxes.
Picture 31
Being in the "layers", copy all layers (To copy all layers at the same time we press the "Shift and control" and Clicking on the first layer and continue holding down shift and control and Clicking on the last layer)
Note: You can also work on separate layers.
Picture 32
Then we went to the "move tool" and pictures to our taste all the boxes of pictures, if we want to reduce or increase (must be selected all the pictures of both windows, "Animation and Layers", remember).
"Display table transformation" must be with the respective "Check", but we can not move nor to reduce the pictures.
Picture 33
With the "Move Tool", proceed to reconcile our paintings.
Picture 34
This is usually a little heavy, remember to be patient
Once ready our table, we proceed to export your file.
Let the option:
File-> Export-> animation frames as files
Picture 35
On next window will name to our work and its details.
Picture 36
By clicking on the "Define" button and put the same options as shown in the picture.
In the name I am putting an underscore and three zeros, because the program will increase 2 more.
Note:
In all the pictures must be 5 numbers to run (If you have more the Android system will not recognize it), can have any name, but always 5 numbers, remember. Passing the box 100 the program will increase by more digits, ie, do not look like this: "boot_00100" (So it should be) but rather well, "boot_000100," and has 6 numbers and not work well (This example has 461 frames).
What I do is create 2 folders (call them A and folder B folder) in folder A, I keep the tables up the next name: "boot_000" (The name change is done by pressing the "Set") the word boot bearing 3 zeros.
Picture 37
In folder B, I keep the pictures under the name "boot_00," the word boot accompanied by 2 numbers.
Picture 38
Finally I create a folder C and copy the contents of folder A (up to the table "boot_00099"), also copied the contents of the folder B (but from the table "boot_00100 up") and hit in the C .
Having done the above steps, we now proceed to save the picture boxes. In the "Choose" button, choose the folder where you save your work (remember the above steps, as the 2 folders)
Picture 39
And to finish with the steps guradado of picture boxes.
We see that under the window are the options format. Here we choose the PNG24 format (Must be PNG, but the Android system does not recognize pictures with other formats)
Picture 40
And we ok and wait.
Then proceed to copy the pictures folder A and B in the C and above.
Here ends the editing step and move on to step "Compression".
Now go to the folder contents C (where are our pictures copied).
Then create 2 more folders, create with following the names (can name you want, but here I explain in this example)
part0
part1
In the folder "part0", copy the tables "boot_00001" to "boot_00460."
In the folder "part1", copy the last frame that is "boot_00461"
.
Additionally we will create a text file (yes, just a simple file with a. Txt) with the name "desc" and add up the next text:
320 240 10
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Note:
The first line indicates the size (320x240) and the value 10 indicates the FPS (Frames Per Second, the rate of exchange of images)
The second line:
p = defines a portion of the animation (Leave it)
1 = Indicates the number of times to repeat the animation (in this case only once)
0 = This zero indicates a pause (also leave it)
part0 = The folder name (in our case we put the folder "part0")
The second line:
p = defines a portion of the animation (Leave it)
0 = Indicates the number of times to repeat the animation (value of zero means that will be repeated several times until you load the system)
0 = the zero indicates a pause (as in this last folder image sequence ends, we'll leave it)
part1 = The name of the folder.
Finally compress these 3 files, personally I use "winrar" so we teach them how to do this program.
First select the 3 files together (par0 folders, part1 and description) and give a left-click and choose the option:
"Add to archive ..."
Picture 41
The table comes, we will place the file named "bootanimation."
In the "File Format", choose ZIP (Because the. Rar is not detected by the system)
And finally, where it says "Compression Method", choose "No compression".
And we accept.
Picture 42
The file created we will post it to SD and then the "Root Explorer" will be spent on the route:
"/ Data / local"
I hope this post will be helpful.
Remember to share your bootanimation to see how they have left.
And excuse my bad English again.
But I wanted to contribute to this great forum.
And if you know some Spanish and do not understand this post.

Graphical Layout & Palette issue [ECLIPSE]

I started android dev using Eclipse 3.7.2 with ADT 20.0.0 and Android 1.6 apis(+google_apis) as a beginner but the problem i am facing that i am not able to use the palette options 'ALWAYS' for adding buttons and textfields, (tried both methods of drag n drop & double-click .).Sometimes they work but sometime not.i also refresh & clean project frequently.
The other more important issue is that somehow when i manage to put those palette option on my Graphical Layout view of the main.xml file. they appear just as text not simulating like a button or textbox.wat i mean here is tht i do not get that black background screen on which the icons are placed (like in the emulator or as we can do in .net windows form).
i attached 3 img. whose description is given below acc. to number of the attached file
1.This is how it looks to me in Graphical layout of main.xml
2.and this is how it looks on the Emulator
3. What i want it to look like :
Thanks
Rahul
