How can i change booting animation?
I have very good image and i can set as boot logo, but i am not sure, if can i set anim gif. i thing that is some special .mbm format on c:\system\Data\welcomeimage.mbm and backgroundimage.mbm

I don't believe you are correct. I have read somewhere (maybe in this forum?) that it can be changed. This was possible on all of the other phones I have owned, although I must admit this (and the 7650 are the first Symbian phones) I have had.

Its not possible for now,the mbm file used for startup animation uses some weird unknown,probably internal Nokia standard,so there is no way of changing it.If anyone knows different,let us know.

The thing I dont get is why would nokia do such thing. I mean you can change the bootlogo anyways. So why make it so difficult? beats me!

Ah,yes,gif as a screensaver.I know what you mean but i don't have a clue why is the loop animation slow in screensaver mode and with normal speed in aniviewer.

So,i'll explain:I installed Sprofiles or Eprofiles,then i uploaded the gif(animated to phone),and set this gif as animated background(not scrennsaver),but the framarate is very slow.is it so,with ypurs 3650

Like I said,I know what you mean.When you set gif as a background it animates a lot slower then with using a gif viewer IE: aniviewer to view the gif.This happens on both,3650 and 7650.

I feel like a parrot! Polly wanna cracker!!
