Hey everyone

just switched from HTCs sprint evo to Verizon droid charge. Was wondering, what happened to gif animations? My evo did this flawlessly. I can't see how my phone can render movies, games, hack other computers, change the channel on the tv, etc. But can't animate a gif in the browser?

If anyone can tell me a tweak or a Rom that does this, im all ears.


Also, could someone manage to get a still of the boot animation to use as wallpaper?

Thanks in advance! .

Have you tried a different browser?

I'm using opera mobile and I can view gifs just fine.

different browser is your best bet for online .gifs, I use quickpic in place of the stock gallery and it has no trouble playing saved ones... as for the boot animation as a live wallpaper it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it can't be its just that its hard to take samsung's special .qmg file and make it into anything usable

Thanks for the replies. Firefox is working fine. Was hoping to get gif animations, user agent options, and flash all in the same browser. I guess i was spoiled with my EVO.

Thanks for the input on the boot animation. You mentioned the live wallpaper. How about just a still of it? Id probably be happy with someone taking a picture of it and photocopying it into something presentable.

its still hard to do as it can't be screenshot (unless you mean taking a pic of the phone screen with another phone/camera which may work but won't be too high quality I think) and can't be made into any kind of usable .gif or video due to the retarded proprietary .qmg animation file... I bet a dev or someone with more android knowledge may be able to do something with it but no luck so far, even the mighty google has failed in turning up anything usable lol

let me take a stab at maybe getting a still shot of it

I doubt anything of decent quality can be made without a good camera that can get focus on something that small and detailed. But if you can ill buy you a beer

i researched further: .qmg files are proprietary to samsung and cannot be opened, edited, or played unless you work for samsung and have access to the source used to make the .qmg... this means our only options are to screenshot it to get either a picture or a video, but as I said it will not be too high quality

edit: no luck trying to get a picture with a camera, it just looks like crap... I can only think of two options, maybe finding a high quality video of it online and using that to make something or possibly connecting it to an HDTV and maybe getting a screen cap that way

Thanks for looking into it for me. I will look into it when i get a hdmi cable to try it out. Great idea tho, putting it on a tv.

Np.. Hope something works, I'd love that as a live wallpaper or hell even a pic for a background. It's been worked on and many people want it, so hopefully someone can do something

I was thinking too that since obviously the phone can run/play those kind of files, I wondered if there was a way to get it to play it while the phone's on to maybe get it that way

edit: also kinda sorta found it here in the VZ commercial for it:

if anyone's good with video editing maybe you can grab it from there, about 23 seconds in

 

[hazard209]

Will any of these work for you?

This is the one that's in the Droid Charges boot animation. The only one besides the nexus I've seen people to do anything with.

The second one on that page might work. A little on the small side. Ill see if i can shop it bigger and not have it be pixelated

The one linked below worked pretty well as a wallpaper. The eye takes up most of the screen, but looks pretty good.

Disregard where it is located on the link page, as it changed location when I clicked the link. This should be the link location for the actual image --> http://www.google.com/imgres?q=droi...&w=700&h=700&ei=ELRBTqj7EuWmsAKLqqizCQ&zoom=1

How about this?
