Now please don't misconstrue this post.
I truly do appreciate the ROM bakers we have here, and they have put out some truly awesome stuff. Dutty and Q, I've already used both your ROMs, cause for some reason I just can't leave it alone. I've actually tried 3 of Dutty's and the 1.2 of Q's.
I've had cell phones since it was regular black numbers on a grey screen (like a digital watch), then to the green LED, then, finally to a colored LED, and then to a full color screen. I really don't want to go back 20 (or whatever) years.
Anyway, my dilema is the black design of the ROMs. I'm no ROM chef, I barely have the patience to reconfigure my device after flashing. But am I the only one who wants my color device to have a colored theme? I came from the Hermes, and tweaked the hell out of alll the black ROMs for that to get some more color into them. On this one, I'm a little more hesitant to tweak them back to color.
Is there a quick way to get the black out of the cooked ROMs? I'm back on the ATT ROM for now, and I'm hating it again (after only a day). Again, nothing but the utmost respect for the chefs with more patience and skills than me, and a big thanks to you guys again.
But, anyone else want their color device to remain in color?
On black background the white text is perfectly readable. On ultra-mega-cool-supa-dupa coloured babe-magnet screen you will see LSD effect.
My 2 cents

Hmm ultra-mega-cool-supa-dupa coloured babe-magnet screen with LSD effect? Makes you wonder why aren't we doing this with more roms.
I like my black WM6 theme. It's... I dunno... it's only emphasizing the potential of the device, I think. It's a psychological thing. It's if you have a ferrari you'd drive calm, respectable. Not like all those civics that scoop around like crazy kids..
Same idea here - if it'd be a cheap ass cellphone for $25, I'd have it pimped out. Since it's a $400 business machine - it has to look solid and calm.
Just my opinion.
You can pretty easily add your own backgrounds and menubar themes. You can also get skinning software to give even more possibilities. Search for the homescreen screenshot thread to see various themes and skins people use. The most popular theme is a sedate black, but there are plenty of other colors out there.

I love it! Easy to change themes with as much color as you want.

I agree. The Kaiser is about function and performance not flash. If your looking for eye candy then get an iPhone. If you want a business class multiple use device then the Kaiser is for you. I love the black themes. You can put any theme you want on these ROMs. The ROM is just the OS. Just like windows it is up to you to make look the way you like to use it. It just happen to be the most popular look for the cooks.
there are literly thousands of themes for pocket pc's bpth cooked roms and standard roms. they use the same themes and you can install them as easy as downloading them to your root directory and selecting them through your today/theme settings, have a look here http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/new.aspx for free themes

Jeez did I ever strike a chord, or what?
Why can't it have function AND form? If I wanted an Iflop, I'd have gotten one. I'd be first in line to buy those anti apple stickers, beleive me.
I'm not talking about roller coasters or flowers or hot chicks. All those things are great (some greater than others). I just want some color without having to hack like 200 items to a color to get it. Like make the black- blue, or red or whatever.
I understand I can put whatever theme I want on it. My thing was, with flashing once or twice a day, I'm tired of messing with color settings, and just wondering why people like turning the color display monochrome. Is your home computer colorless too? Do you watch movies exclusively in black and white?

I prefer black and glossy really over bright and shiny
Wow.
That is pretty ironic, isn't it? LOL.
Still got some color in it, but largely comparable to the ROMs we are talking about, huh?
I can't really talk, I guess. I don't even have wallpaper, just a plain black screen. But still, I don't look at that screen all the dang time. I guess that is what gets me... every time I look at the phone it is black and dull. The plain screen on my home computer is so I don't have added clutter.
if you want colour use SPB mobile shell its got plenty of options for colour themes, while your at it tweaks2K2.net has a color editor for your device colors thats quick and simple. no need to do any major changes and it can be changed regualarly in a matter of seconds. also SPB pocket plus have extended themes that are quite nice. or you can use a them editor to make your own themes however you want them. the choices are endless as to how you setup your Kaisers color settings

I was using SPB when I first got the Hermes... but got away from it with the advent of the HTC home plug in... it did what I wanted and took less space, also I thought it slowed the device down less. I was running the Mobile Shell, Pocket Plus, and Weather apps. Do they slow the Kaiser down too?
I'll check the tweaks2K2 thing, thanks.
they dont slow it down at all really. the newer SPB plus4 is less memory intensive and has a smaller footprint than the SPB plus v3. I use both the mobile shell and spb plus4 and pocket weather and dont experience any slow down. on my old wizard it slowed it down a bit but not that bad. the Kaiser doesnt suffer much from memory intensive apps like the old wm5/wm6 TYTN did. that extra ram and rom really makes a difference and the cpu is better also

PointUI has been out for only one week, and skins are coming soon!
According to the developers of this free application, the theme management will simply use the same "Update Manager" to be able to download a new theme. They indicate that this new feature should be out to the general public in "a week or two".
More nice work by the Pointui Team. Here is the "Black" theme.

The Point UI or Home UI is one of the promising UIs that are around for a while. Great to have nice skins going along with it. The Team has been working hard to iron out some of the issues reported. I am looking forward to the next release in two weeks' time? Cheers
Better PointUI........
I totally agree that PointUI in its current avatar needs some changes... But it's the best UI I've seen floating around... May be soon, we'll have a better version... Keeping my fingers crossed...
This is interesting both both because the PointUI team is adding the skins and also because of the unique distribution method.
For forum users that do not use PointUI, there is a very simple integrated update method in the application that allows direct upgrades of the application. No cabs, no exe's, no registry edits. Really easy.
In this case it is used to add new features (Skins). This is a great concept and I can see that this will be used to easy add new features in the future.
i have installed PointUI for testing... but for real life usage, i think navigation within this UI is not user friendly enough... you will always think where to go back and how to go there.... but of cos, it is still very innovative, looking forward to their update in future.

I fully agree ... at any point in time you'll find yourself wondering what to do next ... I think the design should be more intuitive ... but other than that it's a wonderful idea!
im luvin it
i got my HTC Touch abt 4 weeks back.....n to be honest i didnt get the whole concept of toch.... i thought it was jus another wm6 mobile.....n along came PointUI.....now i can show off to my friends who have iPhones that their phone has just became ****tier....lolz
cant wait for the upgrade..... they shud definatly do sumthing abt placing a wallpaper somehow.... it wud become crazy then!!!
cheers
well pointui is rly nice, step forward, skins are nice.
but to be honest, from my point of view there is awful lot of things to improve and implement to this kind of ui - don't flame me for saying this, but i rly don't know what are userw getting from using point ui in the state of ark in which it currently is, imho it's almost useless, just another gadget - when it will have it's own complete ui including messaging, contacts, calendar and dialpad etc etc - then it will be fantastic piece of software, but now? only another today skin (good one though, but still - when u have to get back 2 WM ui to write a message or to make a call, what the hell is it for?)
Don't get me wrong, i'm not blaming pointui itself, but the users which are making so big hubbab about it
it's not possible to change the icons?
I hope everything is customisable. From every button till the icons.
I only see the colours are changed...
Just installed it...and its great....there are bugs of course but cant wait for future releases.....just hope they dont go commercial
I think they will go commercial.
For a freeware GUI Pointgui is just a great piece of software. When they will have implemented launcher, dialer and messaging and will have given us a bit more customizing opportunities Pointgui will beat all the other Mobile Shells of SPB or HTC.
But for now it's freeware and this is a enjoyable fact.
i dont mind purchasing great application....

* Open File Explorer and navigate to the install path of Home
- Default location is My Device > Program Files > Pointui > Home > {Version} at time of writing the version is 1.01b.
* Rename Home.cdl to Home.cdl.blue so you have a backup
* Extract the attached file to your computer
* Rename it from Home.cdl.black to Home.cdl
* You can either cradle the device (ActiveSync) or copy the file to a memory card.

Don't know if it's allowed, don't know if the guys from PointUI are happy with distributing this skin...
But it looks wonderful!!! A beautiful interface and in black!
Thnx
lol i don't see any way in which they would be unhappy with it - since it's still freeware and the theme doesen't come in entierly repacked installator
well yes i see, but they'd be real jerks if they would

Pointui is the best software that I have on my Cingular 8125. It works perfect... of course improvments can be made but as it is I find it very usefull. As somebody was wondering what use can one have of it, well here is mine: I can fully operate my phone with one hand while I am driving. That's a big plus for me...
I have one problem though, I have previously installed SPB Pocket Plus and Slide2Unlock Pro. So when all these 3 progs are running my memory goes down to 11-12 MB available, so if I am starting any other program that is memory hog, like a game my phone is really, really slow. I am thinking of uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus. What else can I do to improve the memory???
Thank you.
I see that nobody has made a Super Mario theme for the Epic. Lately I have been messing around and trying to learn how to theme and decided I would try to make a Super Mario theme. I havent done much and I have made a few icons for the status bar and what not. (as you can see I am using the honeycomb fusion theme and just changing icons here and there until it completely transforms into a completely new theme)
Here are some screen shots...

I know the time on the lock screen is messed up (I will be changing that tonight) and the status bar I am either considering making the clock text and the battery text black.. or maybe changing the color of the entire status bar... since its hard to see the battery text..
I am mainly making this for me and to get more experience with themes... So I am also wondering... would anyone else like to use this theme? Should I continue developing it?
What does everyone think?
looks sweet! one request I would have is to have the notif. icons a little more cleaned and polished up.
Nice! Keep up the good work...
I'm trying to learn to Theme, too I hopes of making a Simpsons Theme...I've been swiping icons from Hit and Run PC game in hopes of using them...I've been reading the threads and looking youtube videos...I welcome any input and suggestions.

This is just on the edge of awesome, OP. The notification bar needs a little work, but otherwise, very cool. Would love to have this on the EC05 framework-res, so it's compatible with SRF1.1.0.
I think this is looking very awesome. Hope you keep going with it.
Dear OP,
I love you.
Love,
DevinXtreme
P.S. Keep up the great work.
This is cool and look forward to it up and running fully on bonsai 4.0.0
Very nice work!!!
This will definitely be awesome. Have you made a flashable zip yet?
I'd definitely use it. I already have my notification sound as mario jump sound. This would be so awesome.

This theme is awesome. I would be all over it.
Agreed with many that this reeks of total awesomeness. It definitly needs some work/polish, but for saying it is your first theme, you are coming along very nicely! Everyones first project needs some polishing work Regardless, I agree with the others that the notification bar needs some work. I would definitly encourage you to keep developing this theme though, and when I get some spare time I'd even be willing to give you a hand on certain things. Great job so far man keep up the good work!
Also, IMHO if it were my theme, I would make a koopa shell battery icon, like a top down view. The current battery is just too hard to see. Just have the %age number inside the shell. Blue/Green/Yellow/Red colors change for battery levels. I think that'd be a neat idea.
Also, maybe if you used the SMB1 Lvl 2 (The first dungeon stage) Brick texture across the notification bar, that might make all the other things and the clock more readable, since it's a nice Dark Blue/greyish color. Again not trying to tell you what to do, just saying what I would modify myself If I decided to use it Other cool ideas incoming after my brain generates on this at work some haha.

whoa thanks man.. i appreciate the ideas.. ill get working on different versions of the battery icon... but i dont want to keep getting caught up in revising things or making different versions of something (like the battery meter)..i polished it up last night and it took quite some time (since there are around 202 images for it (including the charging icons))..
ill definitely try that texture for the notification bar... i was wanting to keep it looking like the 'status bar' for SMB3... at first i tried the light blue color and it turned out horrible..you could read anything really... then i tried the secondary color (the beige that you see) and obviously you can read stuff..just not that clearly (the battery icon)... SMB3 was revised and had updated graphics in the Super Mario All Stars game, and the status bar was changed to a darker hue of blue... which i could try to use and it should make the text more readable..
i do want to try to keep it looking like the status bar because thats where all your information was in the game...
i am definitely open for ideas...im still kicking around ideas in my head for the wifi signal icon and the 3g...i have ideas for the 3g symbol...just need to put it in photoshop and do the work... but for the wifi... yeah...i dunno about that one yet lol..
if anyone knows what the image name of the 'call lock message notification surrounding box' is, that would be great (its the box that surrounds the mail icon on your lock screen (where you drag down to view the message))
I was trying to find it last night but gave up lol
again..suggestions are greatly appreciated... if you have any ideas/thoughts about the status bar icons, just drop me a line and ill take a look at it.. im going to really try not to get caught up in revising the same icons over and over again and not doing anything else to the theme.

I do have a flashable zip that you can flash with CW3..but its just a rough one... i mainly took the honeycomb fusion flashable zip, put my icons in it, and renamed it to a different name.
This looks really good. I love the stars and the notification really doesn't look that bad. I like the coins and the number next to them. The shells are a cool idea but I think may be better for wifi or signal strength. I think black text in that notification bar would be better than changing the color of it as well. I would certainly look forward to trying this out once your comfortable with how it looks. Keep up the great work!
Can you make one with just the starite stars

morbiddevil82,
This is really cool. I'm not even that big into SMB or putting themes my phone, But I would kick the tires on this... kick them real hard.
As for Ideas they are endless, put the best ones that came to mind would be to change the beautiful widget weather icons. Change the sun over to the Angry Dessert Sun. The clouds into the clouds in the background of SMB 1. When its raining it could be that guy that drops the spike balls that crawl around. The moon could be a ghost.
I like the Battery icon as the coin counter.
Still working on this.. have been very busy with other things this week... I'm kicking around ideas and stuff for the dialer and trying hard not to screw up the dialertabactivity.apk lol. Ill post a pic soon of the dialer, when I get back to a computer

Hi all!
I have recently been playing around with the Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread (aka GingerSense) ROMs, and had to of course port (and improve) my original PCB Sense Theme from days ago. I have been testing it myself for quite a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all GingerSense XDA users.
Couple of things to note:
This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Sense scheme, but want something unique
The file is a 7.7mb signed .APK created using apk-manager 4.9 for Sense 2.1...I may make a Sense 3.0 port if there is enough demand (need to play with .m10 editing still)
It is installable on HDPI devices only by simply copying to your device and running, and is uninstallable by Titanium Backup, or applying another Skin in Sense, and highlighting PCB Sense, then MENU --> DELETE...it doesn't appear in "Settings --> Applications", but why would you want to uninstall it anyways?
I have edited a poopload of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...I believe this may be one of the few Sense themes out there which attempts to skin >90% of resource images (I may be wrong, but still)
I tested (and approved of) this theme on my Desire (Bravo) running LeeDrOiD v3.3.1 and InsertCoin GB
The font used in all screenshots is "Ubuntu", however "Storopia" also compliments the skin nicely
The font used to make the custom clock widget is "OPTICBOT"
This theme took me about 55-60 hours to complete
I've seen some other mods/ports of my theme before, and while I am a believer in sharing and caring, it would be nice if you asked/PM'ed me before using my theme for any other purpose than your own enjoyment. I'm a nice dood, I promise, and it's good to give credit where it's due!
If you'd like to buy me a beer, coffee, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)
Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)
Screenshots of Green version (via Dropbox album):

Select your desired colour to download:
PCB Sense Green (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Blue (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Orange (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Pink (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Purple (7.7mb)
Note: If you're downloading on a handheld browser and the file is saved with a '.bin' extension, simply rename it to '.apk'
if you like it...that's up to you!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
The modded wallpaper is originally from iTeppo (on deviantART) titled "Android Chip Wallpaper" (he did a great job!)
Looks great! Too bad I have a CDMA desire (no new sense love for us)

Heya retrosling, if you mean when you are in the "Phone" app, then yes, some images may not be fully skinned, but this is a limitation of the HTC Sense Skin .apk format itself. Note that there are no flashable .zips needed to use this theme, and that should allow it to be installed on multiple devices (with Sense 2.1 of course).
To skin many other components means that I would have to build a flashable .zip which modifies 'framework-res.apk', 'com.htc.resources.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', and since these are based on certain ROMs, and can therefore be unique, I chose not to go that route for this theme (the logistics/maintenance of handling all bases/versions/ROM-specific customizations for these 3 .apks would be a nightmare of time consumption!)
Believe me, that I skinned nearly every single PNG that would allow it. The only ones missing (for now) would be for landscape support. Once we start getting more GingerSense ROMs with landscape homescreens, I will be adding them though. Good thing for updating is that you'd just have to re-download the .apk (same exact link/filename), and the .XML file defines that it's a newer version, then your phone should ask you if you want to update it. Super clean this .apk Skin route.
To everyone else who offered your great comments/feedback, thank you very much!! It's great to see others enjoying the benefits of the hard work it took to put together this theme!
All the best.
Just tried this on Robocik's v1.2 a2sd cm7 hboot and it does not seem to work.
Have I missed something?
Amazing.
I will say that I have allways found the backdrops you pick very distracting and make the icons hard to see, but then I am addicted to the glactic core live wallpaper - you should try it with the pcb sense - it really ties the screen theme together!
One thing I miss from the old PCB theme is the green circuit board buttons, but then I am sure I will get used to this... (see attached for what I mean)
perhaps an option in the future?
Again, Thanks!!!
Warmly, Marty

Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?
Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.
Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work

Thanks Marty, this one was for you Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly
I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).
Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...
@scar45
Just checked again and it had loaded ok.
Must have been impatient first time.
Looks really cool with great detailing.
Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.
Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.
I will feedback any problems.
Thanks for your reply

Hey Scar,
Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)
and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -
It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.
So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -
You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.
Warmly, Marty

Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.
I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know )

Sorry to be unclear.
I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.
Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.

Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?
Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.
Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.

first things first i take no credit for the app being used to do this. im just posting this so everyone knows how to do it.
our screen has a little too much blue. i noticed this while in best buy comparing to a nexus s. so lets fix it!
first things first. i have only tested in CM7 pre beta.
--update--
thanks everyone for testing it. it does not work on anything other then cm7 even if you use his tutorial in the link!
-----------
1) install CM7
2) download this app. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9780975/Calibrator-5.1-CM6.apk
3) copy app to /system/app with root explorer or terminal.
4) set permissions (chmod 775 in termianl)
5) reboot
6) look in your app drawer and enjoy.
side note - this disables the default CM7 render FX
all credit goes to storm99999 on his original post for the nexus one. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248)
okay so on the top here, there is a real life side by side (thank you photoshop). you can tell which has more blue

down here i have 2 actual screen shots taken within android. you can see the yellow image is corrected. and the white one is uncorrected. our lcd has a little to much blue and this is a nice little fix. here you can really see the effect but it doesn't look right on your "correct" computer monitor
Pretty! Totally doing this!!!
So does this work better than the built in CM7 render FX? (I've never used CM7 so I dunno what this render FX thing is capable of anyway )

i actually have a post about just that in the general section. i think yes because you have total customization. where as default is only presets. the n1 calibrated setting has a hair too much yellow but its not bad if you dont wanna go thought the trouble of doing this. imo this is a game changer for me. the screen is so much more comfortable to look at now.
This should probably have been put in themes and apps, not dev honestly. That aside, im sure this will help some of the crazies people that have issues with the screen

That's cool, I never knew you could alter the coloring. I've always noticed that some yellows on my screen looked kinda green, especially in Fruit Ninja, so thanks for the find!
it's sort of a matter of taste
i prefer blue-ish whites to red-ish whites any day of the week but that's just me. thanks tho i didn't know you could tweak the screens colors =D

im going to take a min. to explain the screen shots in more detail. the one on the right is without color correction. the one on the left is with blue turned down slightly. now with these settings the phones colors look correct. where as without them the display is quite cold. the reason it looks yellow on your monitor is because the colors on your monitor are "correct" in a sense. we are correcting the lcd it self and its over presence of the color blue. where as your computer monitor you are viewing this from is most-likely balanced correctly where as the corrected image looks yellow due to the lack of blue. understand? im going to try to post a real world picture.

Thanks. I was stupid to not think about how they were just screen shots. The output of the phone, of course, is correct. It is the screen (like it has been this whole time) that has the issue. Silly me! Thanks for the pics! And by the way, what number on blue do you have it set at?

i think i have blue at 885 and red and green at 1000 and its about perfect.
anyone try this on any other ROM beside CM7?
Edit: Just tried the universal zip and it wouldnt install through CWM
The zip file is a cwm package but is just an update to the app the installer apk is the second to last file in the first post of that thread.
And no it does not appear to work on other roms, I get a forced close

UPDATE:
The download for the Digital Rain boot animation is now a link to the general non carrier specific HTC One themes section. It is more comprehensive and up to date with a few extras. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357926
Haven't had a lot of free time due to work and family, but I managed to rework the infamous Call of Android boot I made a few years back. It is tailored for the HTC one but I can upload an unbranded version for anyone interested in making their own device specific boot. I would say this is what the boot animation I created a few years ago should have looked like but I didn't have the software at the time.
I also present a Matrix style digital rain boot specifically made for the HTC ONE. This one was a little more time consuming and took the better part of 3 months to finish... Apparently it's extremely difficult to find a good quality Matrix font online, it's pretty much non existent. So I made the font from scratch and including it in the attachments for ****s and gigs. Keep in mind that the font is not complete and only has 96 characters. The uniformity is also not consistent between each glyph as I was making this for video/boot animation purposes and not daily use.
Here are a couple gif's to get you started and the attached files. There are mp3's attached as a zip for anyone interested in matching audio. I am not going over the instructions on how to flash/copy/overwrite the necessary files to install these animations as there are plenty of tutorials already explaining the process.
DISCLAIMER:
Any questions, ask. Anyone interested in using it for their rom/project/different device, that is perfectly ok, you have permission too. All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due and hopefully link back to this post for others.

Digital Rain Downloads (UPDATE):
Since this seems to be getting more attention in the unbranded HTC One forum, here is a link to the Matrix Digital Rain boot. I have it kept up to date and added a few extra things to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357926
**NOTE**
If you have any problems downloading the zips from the links above, try a right click on the link and selecting "save as".
If your sound does not work after flash, most likely you will need to add a small snippet of code to an xml file. It's easy, just follow the directions below.
Adding audio:
On your phone use a file manager to browse to the folder: /system/customize/CID
Open the xml file contained in the directory with a text editor. Once opened, scroll down till you come across some text regarding bootanimations. The text will look something similar or exactly like ex:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMTION.zip" />
All you need to do is add a line of text and save, ex:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMATION.zip" [COLOR="Red"]audio="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFAUDIOFILE.mp3 />[/COLOR]
As a bonus, the woman in red splash image and flashable zip.

I wanted the slight blur/low resolution look on the rain in the animation, I was trying to get it similar in feel to the Matrix intro and noticed it had a very similar grainy low-res look to it. I am still going to check out knoll and see what it's all about.

low res but oh well - 1:31 in youll see...
Yeah Redgiant makes some cool plugins if you want to remove the red X cough youtube... Yeah the only thing id say about that is: they did the matrix fly in at high res with 3d cubes to make up pixels it was either a well written expression or autodesk one of them you take your pick. Think it could be done with the holomatrix plugin now but I dont think that plugin was around then. Not exactly sure. But yeah thats why the pixels appear to have so much depth to them its how they created a 3d space to a 2d environment is with 3d pixel effect essentially.. They made the models move with expressions and null objects and then warped them in after effects. Its more of a warping of the cubes bending into code, thats what i remember at least. There are several variations lol what with 3 movies and all. The end flare when it warps into "pseudo reality" would be super easy replicated in klf as well as magic bullet looks has a matrix look i think youll like also...In KLF they also have resolution settings for you lights so no worries there and they may even have a preset of that flare Glad you shared man I like it...:good:

[email protected]#, balls man. After checking the plugin out the other night, got to say it would have made this a bit easier to do instead of a white solid overlay with a couple masks. Thanks man, glad to have more ways to simplify and make **** look clean when making these. Pretty interesting info about how they rendered the 3d effects for the intro, even if it was a pixel shift/warp effect, still good information to have for the future. I've been messing around with blender for 3d, little rough around the edges for an interface, but it works... for now. Any software suggestions or recommendations on the 3d end? I've been contemplating Cinema 4d or 3ds Max

Yeah man I hear that figured you'd like it: I've found that maxon has a much easier interface I've always thought that for some reason. Try some c4d: much simpler. And aftereffects CC has the new cineware engine in it (ie, renedering engine built into cinema4d) from maxon so yeah the two softwares will forever be interconnected from now on at least as far as adobe says. Which I love btw Currently I have autodesk 3dsmax installed as well as c4d and blender but I've never opened the other two except blender once to convert a model into .obj lol. Now I just got riptide so I can do it in c4d. Yeah I've found that most of the gurus use them as paired software. And crackanug also check out andrew kramers videocopilot element 3d it allows you to use trapcode form as a model overlay base essentially in after effects. Willing to help you attain that if you want hmu on gtalk [email protected]
And @ yeti glad you did to lol...I only try to persuade people who I think actually have promise, skill, ambition, Love to see the community grow with true talent.

And crackanug also check out andrew kramers videocopilot element 3d it allows you to use trapcode form as a model overlay base essentially in after effects. Willing to help you attain that if you want hmu on gtalk [email protected]
And @ yeti glad you did to lol...I only try to persuade people who I think actually have promise, skill, ambition, Love to see the community grow with true talent.

As soon as I get some free time after this week (moving) I will check out c4d. Needing something other than blender, like you, all I used it for was converting things to an obj and maybe an extrusion for a simple 3d design from a vector drawing. I'm watching the videocopilot vids during some downtime at work, pretty impressive so far. I've watched some of the other tuts, but usually only when I am stuck or need help with some ideas. I'm def interested in learning from like minded individuals and getting new ideas, knowledge and tips. You see a message from letthemfear on gmail, it'll be me. Just a heads up, I work midnights so my schedule is usually a mess.
Now make me something pretty
