lol we really cant see gifs can we? LOL GOOGLE!!! make a protocol that converts gifs to a special format and patent it lol
And even if we can't in the browser you would think just looking at them after saved would show the animation but thats not the case. Even the basic phones can, like cheapo flips....
Good idea on the app wish I knew how, get on that and give me part of your earnings.lol. j/k
For playing animated GIF:
1. Download Opera Mobile (non Opera Mini)
2. enter in the address bar
file:
3. Select your gif
It works without HTC Sense
Either using CM or compiling Android yourself will allow you to view animated gifs just fine in the browser and has so for quite a while. I've not tried animated gifs outside the browser though. It was originally disabled because of the memory consumption as far as I know.
we can't??
I've been watching gifs on my Nexus One for quite a long time already...
Never tried on stock but def works on CM
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

---download "AnimGIF" from market. it is a LWP that uses GIFs. pretty cool
Okay? I thought stock 2.2 displayed animated gif just fine, but it's been a long time since I used a stock ROM.

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

there are no free solutions as far as i am aware. Some software that does the trick here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3372 and there are others too - google to find

Ha ha sorry i misread your post try active today http://www.pocketfacelift.com/activetoday.html
Let us know if it works well, i am interested 2.
i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

That came with a great today screen html plugin, but it probably does no more then the one you mentioned - however, in the SideX package you get a ton of other features with it....

I gave that a shot....The SMS thing was great..but the rest was usless....If they would just make the sms seperate and be able to launch from the message icon it would be perfect.

Im not after anything. I just figured which links he might have meant because the formatting got screwed up. Whenever there's a bunch of "....... " in the middle of a URL, it means its been truncated when he edited or posted the original msg.

You can try If you experience any choppy animation or non, try changing your gif speed. With either Advanced Config under the HTC Animation pull down, or registry editor under HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\. Try ranging the number around, 50, 75, 100.

HUH?!?! Works amazing on my Diamond!!!
Thanks for the update! Is there anyway to transfer all my bookmarks from Opera Mini 4.2 to this new browser?
When install it say that "No working network connection detected", but i have wifi connection. Can someone help me?
Would be great to not having to launch jbed everytime... Anyway to make an icon in the startmenu to launch Opera mini... I have it set up for the previous Opera mini but with an ugly icon, this new version seems to have a new fresh icon aswell...
wow 1000x .... just got to try it to believe it. now.. how do you make this a shortcut, or better yet the default browser.
Can install it on a winmo 6.5.1.
Receive an error message regarding authorisation failure !!!
Any Idea ????
Any idea how to make the clock that was in 4.2 reappear?
I just can't beleive this!!!!! why does it even need to have opera mobile now.....
Its just near to perfect, beleive me!!
It's very good but unfortunately doesn't seem to have an option to sync bookmarks like the old one did. Also, I'm not sure how to create an icon for it. Anyone know?

might i remind you that this is a beta.. this is exactly what betas are for, to demonstrate the concept and then apply changes according to the majority's requests.
It's really good and fast.
Problems:
1) not so easy to zoom in sometimes. Maybe it's just me, i don't know, but in some pages I cannot zoom in.
2) when you zoom in, the text doesn't auto fit the screen as the opera 9.5 does. So you have to pan to read articles especially in portrait mode.
Maybe somebody know how I can delete page from speed dial from Opera 5 beta?
OK so you're using adfree or a custom hosts file to block ads.
Great but, now in place of the ads theres an upside down green android and a bunch of crap about the webpage being unavailable!
This isn't always true, but an example is youtube.com
Try going on there with your phone and there should be two or more spots where the frame tries to lead you to a hosts banned location.
This results in a bunch of webpage unavailable errors.
So what I did was I edited the html and optimized the android guy (transparent background) so it only shows him, but no text!
With this update when your browser tries to access an ad that can't be loaded you'll get this.
Heres an example of this on youtube (much more elegant huh?).

Visiting an actual page that doesn't work will give you this.
I think the best part is that this is also true of ads within apps.
Instead of a never-ending load symbol or an actual ad you just get a cute upside down android guy. See below.
Just flash this over your ROM.
Tested only with DC 3.2.3, but should work with most/all roms.
I am not responsible if this causes your phone to explode etcetera.
Note: Replaces framework-res, could kill themes..
Good work! good work! Thank you!
You should add a readme.txt file explaining installation though
Nice idea. I am trying this out most definitely. Much cleaner.
Edit: Hmm, noticed that this replaces framework-res.apk. This will change themes installed on the phone. Maybe a MetaMorph for this would be a better idea?
Good point, hadn't considered that. I have never used metamorph, ill look into it though..

It would play nice with the plethora of customized themes out now.
I simply just looked at what you changed, pulled my framework-res.apk, put your files in, and pushed the framework-res.apk back in. Worked like a charm.
Sorry for the double post, but xda app won't let me edit in attachments. Confirmed, and it is aesthetically awesome. Thanks again.
*Currently Mobile*
Wow man I hope you can get this to work with themes. I would hate to break my custom theme on my evo.
I flashed this over DC 3.2.3 and it didn't work. Did I miss something?
Never mind. I'm a dumb-ass.
I never get the annoying android cannot find image, I always just get a spinning wheel where the ad should be.
If you can't get it working with your theme, link me to it and ill put up a working version.

This will replace that with the static green Android image.
I prefer it because the loading sign is distracting and misleading.
Try YouTube. It always gives me those errors.
Also note that this isn't going to work with every ad and its not supposed to.
Only with those which try to access a blocked url
Will this work with CM6?
custom ROM not an option here
niiice
how can this be had on either
Droid X: froyo OTA
or
Droid X: gingerbread .602 OTA
is there perhaps a loopback proxy app that I can run analogous to the windoze application: eDexter (used with hosts adblocking)
proxomitron for android?

Same here. And it looks like from your screenshots, flash is blocked. I don't get that same screenshot, even on the latest adfree with latest hosts update. My loading of youtube shows everything.
