Can I set a video as boot animation using Plymouth in Arch Linux? - archlinux

I'm new to Arch and I need your help. I like a video(Watch Dogs loading screen animation) and I want to set it as my Arch's boot animation. Is there a way I could do it?? I'm using Plymouth. I would like to know your answers. Please help!

re-read the wiki article plymouth and follow the section on adding custom themes, the watchdogs intro theme can be found here
Note: this will make your computer play the whole animation, even if the boot itself is faster than that. there is no way around that for now

React Native 360/Panorama viewer

I believe there are a bunch of questions related to this, but they are all outdated.
I'm looking for a way to render a panorama/360 picture viewer in React Native. So far, all the libraries that try to use Google's VR SDK are outdated or broken, and not usable at all.
I have also tried to use a WebView (with react-360), but web views are just way too slow, doubles RAM usage, and worst of all, can't be used to render 360 pictures stored on the device.
I guess that another option would be to grab an OpenGL library and try to implement it myself, but that's probably a lot of work if there's something made already.
We've recently published the panorama viewer we are using in our apps. Hope it can help you too. #lightbase/react-native-panorama-view

How to detect a screenshot in a RN application?

I'm having some problem about a screenshot-detector in an application.
I'm using EXPO, but I've no idea about how can I detect a screenshot.
Suppose that I've a profile screen. Each user has a profile page, I want to detect when another user does a screenshot on the screen.
My problem is: how can I detect this? I readed about the gesture here, but it didn't help me. With the gestures I can detect, instead, the scroll in a page, the location x and location y.
I readed also this answer, but about the event touchesCancelled:withEvent:touchesCancelled:withEvent: I have not found anything in React Native docs (and also EXPO docs).
So: which is the idea behind a screenshot detector? Thanks for your help!
You can't do it without detaching EXPO. There is already a feature request for that.
If you decide to detach EXPO, react-native-screenshot-detector might be helpful. The solution is very similar to the one from the linked question.
Currently with expo there is no way to do that, But if you detach you can use this package it supports android&ios screenshot detecting react-native-detector

How can I include Facebook Origami effects in my app?

Origami - the Facebook prototyping tool has some amazing UI effects.
Is there any way to actually use those when I'm building my app?
There's currently no way to include animations from origami into your app.
However...
Facebook announced Pop a few days ago, which is the animation engine they used in their app 'Paper'. You can hear all about it Here. And the good news is Pop integrates with Origami, making what you want possible, Pop will be open source (to be released very soon they said), so keep your eyes open for it.
You can use "Code Export" to export animation code in Origami 2.0.
Origami is for prototyping animations. If you want them to be real you have code them yourself. There is no export to code feature or something like that.
Joris Kuivers has released qc-mobile as mentioned in this blog. It is a starting point.

Phonegap simple editing

I am currently about to start on a project in PhoneGap / Cordova.
In the application I would like to take a photo, with the getPicture function, and after this do a very simple photo editing.
The editing consist of the simple thing to add two points (circles, dots, whatever) to the picture, and then save it, and use for upload.
I can't seem to find any plugins offering this function, so what I seem to need is some native code, that I can implement as a plugin by myself.
What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Any help, pointing me in the right direction will make me happy.
Thank you,
Jens
I think what you need is html5 canvas.
I have experienced in editing the image on the webcam with phonegap.
However, the requirement of you seems to be easier. You can take a photo with getPicture api at first. Then do what you want on canvas.

Animation/Transition-Creator for iOS/Objective-C?

Together with an illustrator I want to create some screens with lots of animations/transitions (moving sprites). I need the illustrator to do the animation. He knows how to use AfterEffects so best would be some kind of timeline-tool to create the transitions/scalings/alphas etc.
My question is now: Is there some kind of tool out there that could be used to create animations and then export the used parameters to objective-c to import it to xcode?
Thanx!
To my knowledge: No.
We spend some time a couple of months back trying to find something similar to Expression blend, just for iOS, but without luck.
If you however are planing to make your app for MacOS and not iOS you can take a look at quartz composer. For iOS you could also take a look at storyboard (here is a link to fairly good tutorial), but I'm afraid your needs will not be met by the features of storyboard.
I found Flash2Cocos2D and I think this is the best solution available right now.
Also promissing: cocosbuilder!
