weird, replaced the stock one with this one via root explorer, got black shut down screen...
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
I did also, and don't see any shutdown animation - I'm not sure I have ever seen any shutdown animation, the phone just quickly shuts down and goes to black.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ibby03:
I love it great work, one issue I have is that I can't find the matching startup, when I search for BIOS startup i get the BIOS startup resembling a pc, not the android robot, could anyone help with this maybe a link? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] ibby03:
Did you rename the zip to bootanimation.zip? When you replaced the stock file in the resource folder?
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkoon@yahoo.com:
isn't this a downanimation? why did you rename it to bootanimation?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dacian:
Went ahead and threw this together too. It's Mudknot's edit of the first screens but he couldn't get the android loading screen to work at the end. I got it working from the EVO file, couldn't get it from the Desire HD files. Here you go! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] ibby03:
It is a down animation, however i have it named as bootanimation.zip and because it's in the resource folder and not in /data/local it also won't affect the actual boot "up" animation... Like i said try renaming it to bootanimation.zip and placing it in /system/customize/resource, and make sure your mounted r/w :-P
[HTC Inspire 4G] PeterGuru:
How on earth do you use ADB?

Okay, I've read and read and read numerous pages of people changing their downanimation files. Some say to use ROOT Explorer, while other say to use ADB.

I've used Root Explorer a million times, but keep getting the same black screen result. :mad: Now I want to use ADB.

Can someone please explain, in reasonable detail, based on the assumption that I'm an ignorant idiot :eek:, on how to use ADB?

I have Android SDK installed, and when I open SDK Manager I get two screens. One appears to be a command line screen, but I'm unable to type anything in it. The other screen is entitled Android SDK and AVD Manager, with my device showing on the right side with a green checkmark.

Now, what on earth do I do? Again, assume I'm an idiot, so please don't speak in technical terms. Use layman's terms if possible.

:confused:

Thanks,

Peter
[HTC Inspire 4G] ac3kill:
I got the down animation to work no prob but I tried to use the quietly rooted one

But it doesn't fit to the screen right on down boot but does for bootanimation. How do I fix this ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RealHolyJoe:
I did a little modification to this downanimation.

If you don't want the repitition just delete frames 19-51 in the zip

Thanks. I found the original to be too short. I like yours much better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AntwanL:
Worked perfect! Thank you so much!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hello_Robert:
I put my file in /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip

I get a black screen.. I do not have the local/data directory...

Where else do I need to put the downanimation file?

Where does one get the adb?

thanks

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I have tried the permission's, and still a black screen...

The boot animation worked like a charm... Can't get the downanimation to go. :(

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

It was the permission.... I erased the the zip i had, re pasted and fixed the permissions... now it works, but not centered...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dacian:
I hadn't heard anything about people not getting it centered, that's odd. Did anyone find any answer to this? I hate to say it, but it may be a Hardware issue. I should note, that some ROMs, custom bootanimations and downanimations won't work, like CM7 (obviously downanimation) or ClearDroid.

Just like the title says, what is your favorite/most used/fastest/best on battery SENSE ROM. I'm currently running CyanogenMod 7 Nightly # (insert number here) and have been running CM for a long time. I almost forget how stock sense looks like ;)

Now I know most people will say "you got to just try them out and see what you like", but honestly there are LOTS of choices and doing the nandroid and restoring of apps and all that is annoying. I want the most complete package based on your experiences. Just naming off a ROM name doesn't help. Providing reasons would be great.

I WANTED to go with :

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471)

OR

MikFroyo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883026)

OR maybe

MikZ (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982211)

I believe MikFroyo is as stock as it gets with the original Sense while Warm TwoPointTwo and MikZ have the new Sense baked in. But MikZ has some features not working such as 4G and HDMI?

Somebody help me out! lol thanks in advance

I love mikfroyo v4.5 it just purly awesome. Personaly I love the speed probably the fastest sense rom I have used and I used alot including myns. And also the best battery I have used. So mik. All the way and also mikz. And its also very good

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
Maybe I'll move it to my SD and flash it during class tomorrow to check it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Mik's is about the only Sense ROM I haven't used.

For best all around, King's Ultra. Fast, decent battery life, visually amazing.

Koni's is right with it, but the battery life was terrible. Still, a visual masterpiece.

Vaelpak has the most options and is very very customizable. It''s prett yfast, battery is pretty good, with the right kernel, and I would have stayed wit hit, but I ran RUU on my phone and just wanted to try something new.

Myn's WarmZ is pretty perfect. Doesn't have th CM-like customizations of VaelPak, but it's gorgeous, stable, fast. Everthing works, and battery os ok.

11 hrs off the charger last night, with not a whole lot of use, other than a lot of texting, and I went to bed with it at 79%.

Maybe I'll give Mik's a try, just so I can say I tried everything on the menu.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterbeav:
I like mikfroyo 4.5 fast, great battery life everything works. But I think you need to try them all for yourself and decide. What someone else likes you may not. And besides it's fun to flash and try new stuff, just try to stop, you'll see once you start it' s like lays potato chips.

mikfroyo... hands down the fastest rom ive ever used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
I'm in the same boat except I've been on MIUI since last fall. I downloaded Koni	Elite with Mikfroyo 4.5 to try. I've used Vaelpak way back and liked it. Vaelek had since added.lots of features. My favorite is no longer being updated - I hate it when that happens but with all the new phones and OS, it's not surprising.

Calks Evio roms are hands down the best I have used....and I have tried them all. Lightly visually modded and very fast and extremely stable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0921:
+1 on Calk's EViO. Have tried most sense roms, but no roms can complete with the stability of EViO, battery life with undervolt, and mature (light) theme. The best one for my taste and performance needs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I actually didn't have much success with Caulk's. Not to take anything away from the man, he's a genius.

But on my phone, it just didn't play so well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issafram:
That is with the new Sense (2.0?) that isnt available to stock EVO yet, correct? Is everything working on that ROM like 4G and HDMI? Nothing buggy? What is the base RUU that was used for that ROM? I hope it always starts with a EVO RUU and gets other **** baked in.

BTW for all the posters, I flashed MikFroYo last night and it is FAST. I want to try other stuff out tho. Give me more info!!!! Loving the responses so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
Another vote for Calk's EViO 1.8. Smooooth as can be, fast and super stable. This is pretty much the only sense ROM I run on the very, very rare occasion that I am not on MIUI.

These three seem to be the top three that people have recommended (damn i shoulda done a vote)....but can people give me some comparisons. I come from CM7 nightlies so I am used to ****ty battery life. I currently have MikFroYo flashed and see it is fast. EViO is better on battery maybe? WarmTwoPointTwo has newer Sense?

If you add Koni's to that threesome, I think you have four excellent sense ROMs to try. You might also check out this thread. It is a few weeks old now, but probably still relevant (if you buy into poll results.) If nothing else, you can cruise the posts and get some more info/ideas. And this one is a little more recent, but I think by that point people were over polls like this so not nearly as many responses.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenlperry:

bur konis elite series is the one I stuck with, stability, sleek, overall theming and look is imho the best.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0921:
With Calk's frequency scaling and undervolt scripts that come with EViO, you can customize the CPU frequency profiles corresponding to undervolt ranges to optimize the battery life and performance. Additionally you can apply overall undervolt ranging from 50mv to 150mv depending on phone's stability. I think the better battery life comes from the combination of these...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issafram:
Well what is so nice about it? I tried evio and myn warm twopointtwo and mikfroyo...mikfroyo hands down the best for me from those three. Why you like Konis?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
Actually Koni's is my least favorite of those four, but I do know that it has a pretty significant following and you were asking about most used among the other attributes. I thought it was pretty average. If you like Mikfroyo it is probably not worth flashing.

EViO and Mik are the only two I would even consider leaving MIUI for though that would be a short lived consideration. LOL

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
I only tried Fresh and Myn's 2.2 which is what I'm currently using. I like the aesthetic tweaks of Myn's, but the battery life doesn't come close to Fresh's. Apparently, no other ROMs do in the battery life department. Is that true? What would you guys say is the best in terms of battery life?

Thanks in advance...

My experience so far:

CM 7 - Amazing, fully customizable. Constantly improved. Great dev team. Final build will be quality. AOSP.

MIUI - fast, good battery life, iFail clone. Chinese developers. AOSP.

Evio - good battery life, stockish, was buggy for me at startup especially. SENSE.

Myn - themed like crazy. SENSE.

Mikfroyo - FAST, good battery life, tweaked. SENSE.

I use CM7 for my AOSP ROM and MikFroYo for my SENSE ROM.

How is Fresh compared to Mikfroyo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
Nice summary.

I particularly use Mik 4.5 with netarchy's kernels and I can't ask for anything better. Perhaps, ignorance is bliss lol but my phone is stable, fast, and customizable. My battery life is certainly better than running stock and I absolutely love the dark themes. Every time I show off my setup to my non-Android friends, they always ohhh and ahhh. In fact, many have switched to the darkside (Android) from other devices.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiradavis:
I've been enjoying VaelPak. Quickly customizable without having to download zips from XDA since VaelPak created a custom settings app to download kernals, theme mods, etc. Pretty slick I must say. Plus it comes with other cool modding apps. No lock ups. The kernel that comes with the rom is NetArchy's which is my favorite too. I flashed the SBC version of NetArchy's and the speed is as quick as Myn's or Mik's. all of these ROMS are awesome and if you have "flash fever" you can have many choices :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Fitz:
I tried Vaelpak as the first custom ROM I flashed, loved it for all of 5 minutes until I went to add my work Exchange account which is a must work for me. Couldn't do it 'cause suddenly my phone didn't meet security standards. Bummer.

Did a recovery and tried Myns WarmZ 2.2. Looked cool but then again so did VaelPak.. Added my Exchange account BEFORE doing a Titanium restore this time and all went well until I tried to set my PIN. The keyboard for the PIN was as black as the background, had to guess where the keys were.

Saw the fix for the PIN and flashed it, worked great until I rebooted and my PIN no longer worked. Hmmm... Had to recover and tried flashing it again, set up, same issue, invalid PIN. Wipe and Nandroid.

Next on the list was Sprintlovers. Not the eye candy I was looking for, but I have to have Exchange working properly so maybe a tradeoff. And Sprintlovers does work. Very well as a matter of fact. It's been rock solid for me, good battery life, and just enough tweaks to set it apart from stock. Yeah, I'd still love to try something with eye candy and cool settings and all, but I need to know that Exchange sync will work with corporate security policies (Remote wipe, PIN, Auto time-out)

Anybody have experience with Exchange sync on the other ROMs listed here that can vouch for them working with the security policy enabled?

Ok........everyone should check out KONI'S ELITE SERIES 3.....dropped last night........it is simply the best looking, smoothest and definitely the fastest sense rom available......take out for a drive yourself......imho

Swyped from my KONI ELITE EVO 4G SUPERSONIC!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
Sorry man, but you really missed the mark on this one. You are definitely right about battery and speed, but if you think this is anything like an iPharce, you probably haven't used either long enough (and it only takes about thirty seconds of looking through the settings to see the vast difference).

MIUI is all Android and in terms of ease and integration, ten times as customizable as any sense ROM and at least twice as customizable as CM, so the "looks like iPharce" logic is shakier than a one-legged tightrope walker . Not sure what Chinese developers has to do with anything as we load our custom ROMs on our Taiwanese phones, but those guys know their sh**! Look at the apps coming out of China, amazing stuff.

I'm not trying to convince you to hop on the MIUI bandwagon, but I would hate for someone to read your thread and get the wrong impression about one of the best ROMs out.

And if you really want to know what MIUI is about, go check out the release that dropped this morning, it's all Android, all Gingerbread and will blow some people away.

In the interest of posterity, these are the chief complaints regarding MIUI:

no 4G, legitimate complaint for those that want/need/use 4G

looks like iPhone, lame, superficial and fails to see the true identity of the ROM. It's like seeing a guy in a red shirt and saying, " I hate that guy he sometimes wears red and I don't like red."

buggy, only true for those who are challenged in reading the OP's, can't follow directions or decide to take shortcuts. You have to be precise when flashing MIUI because it is designed that way. Hence the speed, battery and quality integrated features.

closed source, this is the other "legitimate" gripe about MIUI, if it actually matters to people. Bear in mind that Sense is also closed source and Asian built.

So there you have it, MIUI is not perfect, but I have yet to find a ROM that is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issafram:
You measuring this based on anything? Unscientific as it gets. I have flashed all the ROMs I have mentioned there buddy.... they arent assumptions.

I was fair in saying fast and great on battery, as well as it looks just like a clone of iOS. If you think any differently then you have serious issues.

I didn't take anything away from the ROM by stating that the developers are a team of Chinese people. Guess what bro, (come at me bro... HBGary), I also wear shoes made by Chinese people... and i LOVE them to death. My statement had more to do with the closed-source aspect of the whole deal. I should have communicated that more eloquently.

I try all the ROMs, and LIKE many, cant stand MIUI because of it's look. Obviously it's all Android. But the CLONED look of iOS irks me. And yes i know its that way out of the box and I could customize the **** out of it. But I prefer CM7 out of the box....and you wont' change my opinion so stop with the fanboyism brohamulus.

And oh yea, this post is officially full of WINNING and TIGERBLOOD

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
I can see how MIUI's visual resemblance to iOS can turn people off. But when you try it out, or at least watch the videos, you can see the behavior is completely different and very true to Android's philosophy.

All other roms look the same, just a different theme or icons. MIUI truly is different and that makes it essential and important.

I want a Sense ROM with decent space for app storage. I've tried MikFroyo and EViO, which have great app space (400 MB remaining on a clean install), but what annoys me about them is that the download throughput in the Market is awful, especially when downloading two or more apps at the same time. Also, downloading anything on MikFroyo is a chore. Has anyone else found a better ROM with working downloading and decent app storage?

What makes it "truly different"?

I'm not getting in on the war here, I have never tried MIUI myself, so I honestly would like to know what sets it apart from the others. The Iphone look is not for me at all.. but I have seen some MIUI screens that virtually eliminated the iphone clone look.

I am and have been on Cm roms for a long time so I am out of the loop. I played around with Myns when he first released it, but, it just wasn't as smooth as Cm for me.

I see a lot of love for Mikfroyo so I may give that one a go, as well as Koni's new E3 although there are some rumblings on battery life with his so we'll see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
Warning: I am a MIUI devotee. Previous to MIUI, I used Vaelpak, so I'm not a big Sense fan (nice calendar widget but I never used any of the other widgets)

MIUI has a lot of built-in features that other roms lack or only recently included. Want to take a screen shot? Press menu and the volume down button. Want to block calls or texts or both? Use the DND feature. Want to change the theme? Easy with theme manager. A friend wants to borrow your phone? Turn on the visitor mode so your stuff remains private.

Pull down the notification screen. Long pressing on any icon (e.g. Wifi) will take you to its settings.

I'm not saying it doesn't have its issues, but it's fast, smooth, and I can make it suit my needs.
