XDANDROID wallpaper | boot Animation contest :)

babijoee · May 30, 2010

Its time that XDANDROID was properly branded.

jk
I'd like to incorporate some creative works from themers and users on xda-developers. And so if you've always wanted to contribute to XDANDROID but didn't have the technical knowledge well nows your chance.
Anyone can participate and i'm hoping to see alot of creative work. I'll be setting up a pole from a weeks time and will let you the user's decide which artworks are best and will be incorporated in the next build.

Here are some details:

Nice

Good luck guys, I will try post something too

but I have to enhance my photoshop skills

rvdgeer · May 30, 2010

Because of my lack of photoshop skills here's an idea someone might want to try:
The Android droid actualy looks somewhat like a rounded capital A...
If you draw an XD emoticon on it's face, you have an XD Android

I think that this is a fantastic idea.

babijoee · May 31, 2010

Comon peeps

We need some of your help guys.
I hate stock and we need cooler mods from a great community on xda

ill try to do something cool, but boot animation, what format should it be in? GIF? Flash format?

lugiber · May 31, 2010

Cool idea!
Which resolution do you want for the boot animation?

The resolution is 512x256 and if possible provide each frame in png format. As the boot animation reads each image separately. The maximum amount of frames are 60 but you can do less than that.
Can't wait to see what you guys have to offer

You can provide a GIF image too, as i'll just rip it but it would be much easier if you provided the images separate instead of merged into a GIF

This is probably a stupid question but do the wallpaper sizes you asked for allow for the multiple-home-screen sliding of Android to work? They're the same size as the devices' screens, and I don't know if that means that it would only be big enough to cover one home screen without being stretched, or if Android does something differently with regard to setting wallpapers.

Also, the Hero boot animation is 217 frames long, does this matter?

And finally, I guess the animation should be able to loop (?).

lugiber · May 31, 2010

Hmm, hard to do anything on only 60 frames. But here's a first draft at a boot animation. Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
I'll probably add another animation tomorrow when I have had time to get some better ideas.
At what fps does the animation play back by the way?
And would it be hard to replace the current bootanimation with a custom one? It would be nice to test the animation before submitting it to you.

ben_duder · May 31, 2010

That one looks great! If I had to be critical I'd say you could make the text colour more distinct from that of the background, but I love the Android

It's much better than anything I would have done... Do you have professional experience in graphics/rendering?

AdamiX · May 31, 2010

@lugiber: that's funny

Good job

AkumaMax · May 31, 2010

It's too bad I don't have skills in this area because I have a great idea. Something like an Android(pretty much pac-man) eating a windows mobile sign and leaving behind the xd-android sign behind.

lugiber · May 31, 2010

Thanks for the positive reponses guys! I'll make "xdandroid" stick out more and update the animation.
Hehe, i like the idea about the android eating windows. I'll see what i can do.

I had some ideas in that direction but I wasn't shure if people would respond well to "windows bashing".

ben_duder · May 31, 2010

Here's an XDAndroid wallpaper idea I made - I know that it's pretty basic but I wouldn't mind some feedback

Nice one! How about making the background black? It's not filling the whole screen, (since that's how Android does it) So I think whatever's on the outside of the animation is black.

Nice! I like it simple and basic!

Nice! If you don't mind me asking, how exactly do you do that sort of thing? The only way I can think of is by lightening each frame separately, which would be both time consuming and probably quite messy.

haha looks like you both interpreted the requirements wrong or i wrote them wrong :S
I'd like it to be 512 width and 256 in height.

But other than that it looks good. If possible add some android in there doing something humourous

( not necessary but would be greatly appreciated
