screensaver for 750? - Treo Forums

SSUNATZU · 03-22-2007, 04:59 PM

OK...I found this really neat screensaver on the internet but they wanted me to buy it. Well, I created my own .gif from what I saw and now I want to know how I can add this to my Treo 750. Do I store it first in the pictures?

Can someone help me with a brief tutorial on how to add my own .gifs to my phone. Because I can make a ton of really neat gifs at 320x320 but I dont know how to add them to my phone without screwing up.

well number on the screen resolution for the 750 and 700w and wx is 240 X 240 so 320 X 320 wont work on your treo. number two you can download the file to your computer and install it via active sync or you can download directly onto your treo using the interenet connection with a data plan. But your device would have to be able to use the program as it. You could download and edit and save to an exansion card and hook up a card reader to your device and move it over that way. RTM

So.....did it work out for you?

I havent tried it out yet but I know what to do now because of the post about the card reader and all...

Basically, I will make my own 240X240 pics with Gimp or PainNET. Save them to the SD gig I got and use the cardreader to transfer it over to the main side.

I can probably tinker with PRO CONstruction TOOL I also have that creates GIFS on the fly. See if they will read. I dont want to make the GIF too large in case it overloads my phone but I doubt that will happen.

TIP...an idea that I have is that some of these animation programs that construct gifs could be used to make your own screensaver(AKA WALLPAPER GIF) It wouldnt necessarily be a TRUE screensaver but just a wallpaper that moves from pic to pic constructed in gif format.

its just idea...im going to tinker with it when i get some free time and see if it will work.

That would work better than the 320 x 320 I would think!
