Problems with modifed Startup-GIF´s

---

Hello everybody,

this is my first post in this forum and my english is very bad, because i am an bavarian noob I take my german text to the google-translator an this is the result:

I have tried to change my startup screens what has failed miserably. I have the original files with the trail version of Ulead Gif Animator processed and pushed to the Hero. The results you can see here. I have the orig. and modifed attached files. Can anyone of you tell what went wrong?

Thx,
the bavarian opallabtb

I noticed whilst browsing the Hero file system (in root somewhere) that there are a number of config files for boot and on my Orange Hero, an Orange startup animation.

No idea how you do it (rooted & text editor maybe), but you will probably have to edit these

thank you joemax for your quick answer.

There is only one xml file in the folder /system/media. It calls boot_animation.xml
I didnt touch this file. The names of the modifed files are the same as the original ones. Is it possible that the Ulead gif animator change anything in the gif file (transparent background, etc)?

greets

Sorry, I have no idea then. My depth of knowledge at this point is very poor

Can the Hero actually play the gig animation you copied across ?

I use ASTRO to browse my Hero, it plays and views images, video and gif files. Try to see if its actually playable 1st.

Sorry but thats all I can think could be causing it.

I bet you crapped yourself when you first saw that messed up boot screen

I've had a look at the gif files you're using and they differ from the originals. The ones you made, each frame has different background properties. If you look at each frame in the original, they're all 320*480 with a background colour index of 199; they all have a black (transparent) background of 320*480.

But the modified gifs have frames which don't have the same sized and colour index backgrounds, and this is the only thing I can see that would cause the problem. When you view them in windows picture viewer, they show up fine; I think it's something to do with the transparency and the fact that the first frame IS the right size and colour but the rest are not.

In fact now that I look at your video again I'm certain this is the case. I know how to fix this, what program did you use to modify the frames?

Edit: Okay maybe I should read posts better, you used Ulead Gif Animator. If you can send me the individual images of each frame I could put this together for you in a way I'm sure will work

Hi,

thank you for your support!

Can you take the Frames/Pics or whatever you want from the "modifed.zip" package?

Thank you!
