Like I have nothing else better to do, but I was tinkering with my Sprint PCS Vision phone and came up with the idea of creating Firefly wallpapers for the little thing. If anyone is interested, I'll create a few for people to download onto their phones.

Hi Haken, I have a Sprint PCS vision phone and I'd be interested in saving Firefly pics of Nathan Fillion sans the attire, laying on a sofa, or you know...regular FF stuff.
Thanks

Hi Haken,

Are you working on pics that I can download to my phone?

Kinda. I was just tinkering. I have a Samsung A500, so the image is formatted at 128x112. Don't know if you can use that. If you give me the model of your phone, I can resize the image to match its resolution.

Anyway, try this:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomsprintpcs.asp

When you get the text message, extract the URL then go to it, at that point your phone should proceed to download the image. I use mine as a wallpaper. Looks pretty awesome seeing the Serenity on that little screen.

If you have a particular image you are interested in, let me know and I can create it for you.

When I have time to hack more code, I'll make it possible for you to upload your own pictures to your phone.

Now, if someone has a midi of the Firefly theme, I can make it a downloadable ringtone. That'll be cool.

Anyway, try it and let me know.

Hello Haken,

Thank you for responding to me. Before I try the link you posted, I want to give you additional information on what type of phone I am using. I have a Sanyo 8100 model camera phone. In response to what kind of picture you can create for me, I would like to have one of Cpt. Mal Reynolds wearing his duster, his holster and his boots...ONLY.
Thank you for all your help.

That's a color phone. It might be possible to do the same with your Motorola. I'll research it.

I'm only guessing here, but if you have a Motorola and can get on the net with your phone. You should be able to WAP browse and load the following page:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/motojayne.wml

I tested the page on a WAP emulator and it loads up with the following image. Don't know if you can extract it as is or whether I need to send a link to you through MMS.

In any case, see if you can load the WML page on your phone and grab the image that way.

You should see the following on your phone:



It's formatted at 120x160, which is what your phone can handle.

Haken,
It worked!! Oh my stars and garters!! I was able to place Serenity on my phone as wallpaper! I am the absolute happiest woman on the planet at this moment (unless of course there is some nice young lady playing doctor with the Cappy - well then she better be the happiest or I'll just have to take her place)!!

You are just so awesome I'm gonna cry!!

I was not able to find a midi of the theme but I did find a place with a wav file. Know how to convert? The site is http://www.wavsite.com/television.asp? I will hunt and hunt for a midi so I can have the theme as a ringtone.

Thank you soooooooo much!

Hi there,

I just got one of the cool new sprint phones and I've been searching for a Firefly ringtone and wallpapers to no avail.

Unfortunately, the link you provided below doesn't work for me, it just gets directed to the bluesunroom.asp page.

I would LOVE to get a hold of a pic of Serenity to put on my phone (Sanyo SCP-5300), or you know, any FF related stuff :)

It's supposed to do that after you enter your PCS phone number and click submit. The way this works is that you provide your phone number, the website sends your phone a message, you extract the URL that's in the message then have your phone go to the URL and download the image.

Note that this only works for Sprint PCS phones.

If you have further questions, please feel free to ask. Perhaps I can work on setting up something that'll work for you.

That's interesting. Until right now, going to the website you'd given below wasn't working, instead I was getting redirected to the "Blue Sun Room" page. However, now it only works in Safari (I'm on a mac) and yes, I've got Serenity on my phone now!

I think I can figure out how to size an image to put on the phone, but I definitely don't know how to be able to download it from my phone. Are you working on any more images? Because maybe I'll try and work on some and send them over to you to put through? Or you know, if you've got some of Nathan Fillion / Sean Maher laying about... :)

Yup. Certainly if there's a demand for them. I'll see what I can do about getting more images up for download.

My gosh--that worked perfectly!! If you could send me an email or something--I'm not entirely sure how you did it--but my husband is a CS guy, so I assume he'll be able to figure it out--I'd love to be able to use whatever images I like!! Mail me sometime, when you get time.

That's actually not too difficult to do, but I want to take it a step further and create a moblog (like TextAmerica) for FFF.NET. Seems like everyone is creating one these days. That's what I have simmering on the backburner. But I'm kind of behind with real life stuff that I haven't had the time to work on the site lately (which explains why everything on here has been delayed lately).

Now you realize that plenty of folks will have to trash their AT&T, Verizon, and whatever else and sign up with Sprint. Do you get kick backs from Sprint or something...

Anyways, how are you doing the text paging? Thru a page portal?

I have a new Samsung x426 phone, it is a color phone with polyphonic capabilities, I'm curious to know if you think these will work with my phone or just the Sprint PCS type?

Thanks Haken for the download. It worked perfectly. I have been looking for firefly downloads for my phone for a while to no avail. If you get the firefly theme for a ring tone or more pictures I would be very interested.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

You are a beautiful, beautiful human being and have made all of us Sprint phone owners both shiny and happy people. Now I can stop watching that stupid eagle flap his wings. Thanks!

I should add more images and perhaps even create something that'll allow you to upload your own images.
