Vertus Fluid Mask. It's a plug-in for PS and a standalone app that you'll love for cut outs. I can cut out and entire person in a matter of 2 minutes if that.

Nice job on the ones you done though. Definetly not knocking those

I have but I can't find a font I'm happy with yet and I have no patience to make them myself.

*edit* ok I figured out the name of the file (splash_218x170_a.png) but I don't know how to load a portrait and landscape version, so I modified these (see attachment) to work in portrait or landscape... just overwrite the existing splash_218x170_a.png file in the windows directory

welcomehead_192.jpgCan someone make a 640x480 of this pic that eenieMINI posted thanks. It's for my wife.

here is the splat.wav I'm using with RangerPain's apple_squish.gif... It is timed perfect on my phone.. But since some phones boot faster than others, it may or may not be in sync on other phones...

n00b here, I was able to replace the welcomehead.192 with the joker one, but I can't for the life of me get the apple squisher to work. I want to replace the Sprint animation with that one. I'm running stock sprint rom on my TP, anything I'm missing?

There are 2 ways to do it.

1. just rename the file to "Startup_640x480.gif" and drop into the Windows folder on your device. Then restart it. You will lose the original file though.

2. the second option is to modify your registry to point to the new file.

here is the registry location where you indicate the file you wanna use.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"GifSpeed"=dword:00000040
"ShutDownWav"=""
"ShutDownGif"="\\Windows\\animated_HTC.gif"
"ShutDownAsStartup"=dword:00000000
"StartupWav"=""
"StartupGif"="\\Windows\\Startup_640x480.gif"

Change "StartupGif"="\\Windows\\Startup_640x480.gif" to the path of the file you wanna use. Save your changes and reboot your device.



Ok, I recommend you use method #1. Just make sure you backup your original .gif file before dropping the newly renamed file into your Windows folder.
