Mobile Graphics

I noticed there were no forums dedicated to mobile resources, so I figured this is the best place to ask:

Do all cell phones display a 'Home Screen' when in user lock mode?
If so, what format do they use for the background image? I'm thinking they would all use jpeg.

 

yes jpg is what they use.

 

cool. do you know if they're capable of handling gifs as well?

 

i guess they can as i have seen some animated themes, why not give it a test?

 

Most recent cell phones can handle Flash images too. So they do with gifts and JPG

 

yeh i think so..

 

Yeah! It depends if it's static with no animation then it's .JPG if it have any animation then .GIF

But some new mobile phones! supports .FLV a flash file in the Screen also

 

my mobile phones could display .jpg and .gif

 

that's great info! thanks to all who posted. does anyone know a good bulk sms program that can send picture messages? and if so, what are your opinions?

 

I was wondering what is the minimum size for a cellphone wallpaper. The ones I make and upload are about 100x100 for my Samsung. Does it matter between models?

 

from what i've seen each cell model has its own size of screen. i guess the question is, if you make a universal one (like 80 x 80), will it stretch and distort on larger screens?

 

an app called Ringtone Media Studio has tepmlates with the output settings for several phones

 

does anyone know if phones that don't have cameras hold jpeg images?
