The other day I read that awesome Tut on how to create a Boot Animation by kusotare [link] because of this I started creating a few animations. While doing this I would test them out by flashing them, I did not like this so I created an applet that will basically animate them for you... Its pretty simple code, I am sure anyone on here could do it(and im sure some one has) but I figured I would share it with anyone who wanted it.
All you have to do is extract the .zip into a folder, and when you want to test your animations drop 'android-logo-mask.png' and 'android-logo-shine.png' into the folder. After you put them into the folder, open(double click) 'BootAnimationTest.htm'. This will open up your browser and show you the animation.
Requirements:
-This requires that you have the JRE installed
-'android-logo-mask.png' should be 256x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
-'android-logo-shine.png' should be 512x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
If you want, until I make it fix it automatically you can
find dimensions of android-logo-mask.png n put those values in BootAnimationTest.htm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Future:
-In the future I plan to make it were it doesnt matter what size your images are.
-Turn this into a full fledged theme tester!
Feature Request: If you have an idea that you want me to add to this let me know, and most likely I will do so.
Just added a Video!
Change Log:
V 1.02:
-Added buttons that increase/decrease the speed of the shine

Nice dude...just dimensions get messed....cuz it treats ur boot imgs like theyre full...but its k i just edit the html to my custom dimensions
Just put in ur post to find dimensions of android-logo-mask.png n put those values in BootAnimationTest.htm

Awesome, I will have it where it does it automatically though, among other things... I also think I may turn it into a Jar and have it launch in its own window.
Edit - those red dots, are actualy my name... what happened is that you resized it, so it shrunk the applet.

Yea, thats why I made it, I got tired of having to flash over and over to test mine.
Thanks for the kudos on my tutorial. I had a tough time doing it my first time around, and after six or seven hundred of my friends with G1s asked me how i did it, I finally broke down and did the tutorial.
On the other hand, I absolutely love what you've done with the applet. That will certainly make it easier for people to come up with something they'll really like instead of having to tweak-and-flash as most of us have been doing for ages. Excellent work!

Thanks! it really only took me 3 minutes to right but I think it will help me for as long as I make boot animations
hey, the tutorial didnt take me much longer, so dont feel too bad. the longest damn part of it was writing the script for the video down so i could read it back into the mic!
by the way, i added a link to the first post here into the tutorial post. you really did hit a keystone here thats gonna help people. cheers!
How do you guys feel about the speed of the shine? I think I will add a button that will let you make it faster or slower
Helpful, fast and time saving tool...
This is really a great and helpful tool. Its a must have on the utility belt of all theme-er's.
Excellent work...
This is an awesome tool, it'll help me cut down on wearing out my NAND flashing theme updates over and over just to test the boot screen. Thanks a lot!
Edit: Just tried it out on one of my old non used boot animations I had, the 'animation' scroll should be faster in my opinion. I remember seeing it speeding by at least 2x the speed as the applet does it. BUT the buttons to increase/decrese speed would be ideal. Some people may prefer it slower, some fast.
Again great job on this, you saved a lot of trouble!

I understand it would be a 'rough draft' sort of thing considering the .9.png and such but really just to see everything 'together' before flashing it would be a welcome change than what we can do now.

Yea, I don't think it would be hard at all... It will just take me a while.
Edit - Ok, so I just posted the new build. This build just added the speed buttons. By the end of the week I hope to have a build that is a full theme tester up. I also think that later on down the road I will make this into a JFrame instead of an applet. Also, what is the deal with the .9.png?
Ok I have been messing with themes, and its coming together good. Its going to take me a while because I have school though.

.9.png are images that Android resizes to work in any situation. like the buttons. sometimes they are small sometimes they take up the whole screen. you have to sign them in eclipse for them to work right. check out this thread for a more detailed description of them and what it takes to get them working properly.
if you do make a theme tester I will have kids just so i can name them Burlyskink.
For theme and boot testing...did anybody see the news story about running an emulated Android os (complete with G1 skin) on a Windows PC?
It looks just like a brand new fresh stock G1 and it works. I wonder if that could test out themese and mods?

So i got FadetoBlue ported to RC33 and i didn't have to rebuild from scratch!
I am exhausted so i am not going to put all of the info here but just enough for the devs to spend 4 hours tweaking their images. I started around 11:15PM and finished at 3:00AM, so its a long process!
I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 as my image editor and instead of just saving the images, i used "File/Save for web and devices" then set the preset to PNG-24. i did this for every image i had changed, most of them were around 3K-6KB. After compressing them most were around 300 Bytes - 1.1 KB. As an example the Music.apk drawable folder in FadetoBlueRC30 had 113,256 bytes in it, after compressing the PNGs were 43,548 bytes.
I will update this thread tomorrow with more information. But to give you an idea usually a theme file is larger then the original theme from Stericson. Below is the difference in file sizes!
Original 9,246,716 bytes
FadetoBlue 9,231,087 bytes
My theme is actually smaller then the original! this should help with speed and stability...more free memory while Android is running!
ok im going to bed now...goodnight and happy tweaking!
Also I want to thank Stericson for keeping me company in IM while i did all this! Set the standard mang!
Great job man. Knew you would get it. Fadetoblue is done...time for a new one huh?
Stericson
LMAO i wish it was done, the compression caused a few bugs and i got a few good suggestions in the thread so ill be working on it still...im glad i dont have to much into the Rockband theme! this was hell!
It's worth it though, makes for a better theme that runs faster.
Yes in the long run i will happy...but at this moment it was hell! haha =)
ahha damn it, you beat me to it. I have a tool that i use and its much easier then photoshop. I've read that photoshop is is horrendous at png compression. I'm using PNGOUTWin as it has already compressed a large percent of my whole theme 8) Best thing about the app is it has batch encoding! so here you guys go. a link to the program that has a 30 day trial 8) enjoy enjoy
http://www.ardfry.com/pngoutwin/Download.htm
Awesome find, i might have to add another tool to my arsenal...thanks for the link.
oh and btw, photoshop doesn't compress the files as much as whatever tool google used, but if you use index(save for web and devices) the file then save it, it compresses much better then just the plain ol' save.
The batching will save a bunch of time, that's for sure!
yup, im currenly redoing stericson update file for original icons and will repost it for all theme users to use. seems like google didnt optimize their own png's once its done i'll post it for other theme users to use so that we dont have this size limitation on our themes. who know, this might even increase the overall navigation of our OS
this is nice I will have to start compressing my images. still think we all should still use light rc33 and just add the sounds to the sd card .with talk of flash and more updates to come we will need the room.

I also discovered Save to Web did a great job for small icons with little transparency, but I wasn't sure if 24bit would work, so I was still saving to 8bit which sacrificed a bit on quality.

The 8-bit is fine for small icons, but there isn't any transparency at all with 8bit. That is why some of my icons have white borders around them. I did notice it made some of the icons look cool for the white border, but some look horrible.

Ahh thanks, i plan on being here for awhile, as long as i have a G1. As for the force closes, did you happen to have your apps or caches saved to the SD before? I think its a good idea to wipe when going up to RC33. I have noticed a few things that were weird. I had an issue with Anycut, but that was before my theme and a reinstall of the app fixed the problem.

This is the pre-status bar version. That's my next step and I'll likely be posting an update to it w/ the status bar and notification background modded to match. Then i think I might take a few days off lol (aside from posting the Gambit theme once my homeboy tinkers w/ the clock for me). I haven't stopped since I started working on my Amazing Spider-Man theme nearly 2 weeks ago lol.

Adding the guide lines using either 9patch or if you know how to do it using CS3 and signing the .9.png using eclipse. Thats what i am talking about as far as signing.

yeah I spent about 3-5 hours trying to get eclipse to work right. Once I figured that out I spent another 2-3 hours trying to master the skill of editing in 9patch, following the steps precisely but just couldn't get it to look right =L It was too foreign to me and I just ended up giving up in frustration. It seems what the image looks like is variable on where you place the markers on the top and left columbs. Just couldn't get the image to look right no matter what I tried. And yeah... was following damnitpud's instructions. =( I guess I'm just not naturally inclined for editing in 9patch as some others might be.
But I'm pretty okay w/ the MP3 player as long as the inner isn't stretching out of the body or anything like that. When I copy the file from a Haykuro G build into the 1.5 as I have w/ this one, it just seems to take the same shape as the default mp3 player and that looks aight by me since I can't seem to comprehend 9batch editing he he. Thanks for the feedback man.
I've seen some of your work and work by others on here and the graphic design elements of the themes puts mine to shame lol. I'm just really inpsired to make themes based on sources of influence, like Spider-man, Megaman etc. etc. =) I keep it real basic compared to most but I have fun with it and that's all that really matters in the end I guess.
Aight. Got the Statusbar done. Was tempted to dive deeper and make all the notification icons blue as well... But it looks good as is and I don't think I'd have the time to mod the 60+ images required to acheive that end lol.

Thanks to the help of Manup... I FINALLY have a semi-sound comprehension of editing the stretchable images (IE the images that are used for the music widget and VK among other things). Thus I'm currently working on making a custom music widget, and might change up the notification are a lil more before I'm completely finished. Once I am ill prolly make an attempt to port it to JF. If its as easy as pasteing over all my modded apks into a JF build it should be a snap (any insight/input on this from anyone else on here would be much appreciated =)).
This theme is looking nice. I know my bro would love it. Is there any way you can make one of Zero? I tend to like more the Z-Zaber than the Buster, lol..

update -
Music player skinned. Notification background changed out. I cleaned up the image on the menu background so it's not so obvious that it's tiled and looks a LOT cleaner now. I thought that image looked a lot better than the one I was previously using for the notification background so I used it there instead as well. Here's the updated link -

Not the US one (works fine w/ UK and ADP, I'm running ADP 1.51 myself)). Haven't tried it myself (so feel free to give it a shot and let me know) but from what I understand, if flashed w/ the US build of 1.51 you won't have the modified launcher (app drawer) elements of the theme due to an extra measure that JF took to compress the files within the Launcher archive... (that seems to be a headache to edit so I haven't bothered messin w/ the US build at all).

It's because of those cram things that you have to go around and stuff, but it does work on ADP 1.51.
Hey was going to tell you something, or a little suggestion, but after seeing some other themes, I was wondering that instead of posting full pictures for icons, is there anyway that you can post figures. If you look at Nightmare before Christmas one I'm sure you would understand what i mean. That's an idea of course, still like your work so don't get me wrong *shakes fist incase*

Yeah it's possible. It's all variable on the source that i get my hands on. I'm not sure if KilaTattz actually created those icons (drawing them from scratch) or if he found them somewhere/created them by editing a source... but I imagine a lot of times you see icons like that, they're even drawn from scratch or taken from a windows desktop theme of somekind.
I usually create my icons from pictures cuz there's a lot more to work with. In some cases they're almost figurine-like (see the swordfish Browser icon, Dialer icon, Calculator icon, and youtube icon from the bebop them if youre running it, or even better, most of the icons i did in my megaman theme - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515742 ).
But I'm guessing he's got legit enough graphic design skills that he drew them himself or he found a killer desktop theme that he pulled the icons from.
when working w/ Bebop and Champloo, Robotech and Spider-man... desktop themes are/were either non existant or completely outdated. There are some icons I used from a windows desktop theme that looks straight outta the 90s on my spider-man theme lol. They looked aight though. If you have Openhome you should scope it out. They jus threw it up on the Market via an Openhome skin the other day.
This is my first theme so trying to fix bugs. PLease help me with ideas and pictures i could use. Soory still a noob at making snapshots so i attached them.
edited: These are the pictures of the battery which are not working.
Super lite 1.7 MB FOR ALL ROMS
v0.1
*android boot image2 looks like the start up of windows
Bugs
*need to get battary to work correctly.
*need to move to next update
Please post what need to be changed and/or added. PLease email at
[email protected] for your ideas.

So what exactly does this theme incluide? Or is it just those three modifications to the original android ROM, whichever one someone might be using?
add windows bar on bottom the screen it will look cool
you should try to make fastest theme as it is possible - every theme here is to heavy and move so slow

my theme isnt slow :/... lol
and if its ok with you mohsinkhan47... can I make a windows 7 theme?... I just didnt want to take the idea without asking first...
I am having trouble getting on a computer. So I do most of my picture finding on my phone and I edit on the computer at where I work(Saturday and Sunday). So it takes a while. That is why I created a beta version right now because I am still new at this and still having problems. If you guys could help find pictures or ideas(thx for the ealier post) I could move a bit faster. Thanks helping me out.

ooooh hands up for that one ted. cant wait!
Thanks, i like it, looks great!
Anyone have screenshots of this running?
..&& we dont even know what the theme looks like..
I dont want to be mean but....
i didnt flash this but looking at the lockscreen battery in the framework-res, i think you could of done a better a job on it. im sorry if im being blunt, im not here to hurt anyones feelings, but i just think it has some design flaws.
EDIT: for example this is what i mean.
BEFORE mohsinkhan47 edit:
AFTER SiR*Mez edit:
I love the edited battery... I am still new at this so I'm still learning. I was wondering how you did that. The only way I could edit pictures is print(windows). I don't have photoshop or anything like that. And plus I am having hard times flashing this on my g1 to test it out. Development is going super slow. Sorry guys I was wishing to have posted a new update yesterday but was having trouble time flashing. I can't flash my own theme(lol). I don't know why.
------------------------------------
My computer= g1(lol)
Rom=CM 3.6.8

Maybe a couple screenshots would be helpful...
@Ted417
There's a Windows 7 theme already, it was made for RC30 (yeah.. old school lol) and original creator did not update it since. Look it up, you may be able to pull parts of it for your theme. I sported it for a while... good stuff.
Here the link
Good luck
Please delete this thread.
it's funny, and worth a try
good job!
and where's the download link?

Ok, before I begin.
I know, I know. WINDOWS 7 on Linux!!!! OMG! HOW DARE YOU!!!!
I understand that some of you will think it's so wrong I should be hung for doing this.
BUT.....There are some, like myself, that like Windows, and so this WIP is for them and I.
I have lots to do, but here are just a few screenshots of what's been done so far. If I get some good feedback on this I'll push harder to get this thing loaded.
I have most of the icons changed, market app icons and other apps not pre installed will not be changed. 1 thing is I don't have the I.E. icon cause I hate I.E. so firefox it is!
I am open to any suggestions.
I will try to get this 100% complete asap. (Didn't know it would be this hard lol!)
If you come here just to bash, don't waste your time.

No link yet, Sorry. I will hope to have this weekend. I just wanted to get this out for suggestions/feedback.
Very interesting start. I'm actually looking forward to using this and will mostly use it when I get bored of the hero theme.
looks pretty good, keep up the good work
awesome! i gotta say, the boot screen made me laugh, i'm gonna flash this at work and tell people i have the newest tablet with windows 7.
it's great, although i would have to agree with...

Way ahead of ya
nice job
Nice job man.. i would give a try as soon u have it ready.
Keep it up man.
Awesome man, love it, can't wait ...
Few suggestions:
* WiFi symbol like the wireless connectivity icon on 7 (Not sure how best to demonstrate the bars of signal though, maybe the waves that come out of it?)
* Similarly, 3g/EDGE have the picture of two computers with the globe, lighting each one up for send/receive
* Muted and battery icons
Only suggestions, re-reading those, most would be a pain to implement I'm sure .
Love the dialer too
I like to look of this...
+1!
totally funny and cool!!
Please release ASAP xD
Hoping to have this available for release on Sunday night.
You know a Windows 7 theme was actually released WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back ago when I first figured out how to make themes? The guy that made it was called Dave the Illest...You should check it out and consider porting it...

PLEASE Can You make some version without "Windows-like" Start panel? Just only transparent original image? I liko your theme, but "Start" panel is not my "cup of tea"
