Is it possible to hide or disable the clock at the upper right corner? Any app that will do it?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
you could use a whitemarker xD

but serious never seen one, why u want it removed o.0

if you however do want it removed, you need to modify/rebuild the sauce, which needs s-off and root to even think about that ^^

hello

I use also iMediaShare, and Skifta (both DNLA)
[Acer Iconia A500] nubbin77:
why wouldn't my streamer apps (UPNP, Skifta, clear.fi etc.) not detect the mp4 files I am putting into my servers shared video folder? The apps see a my other video files, like the avi files and mpg files, but none of my mp4's show up.

Does that make any sense? Does UPNP ignore mp4 files? yet it seems like everyone converts their files to mp4 (which by the way play ok on the device if I attach and play through usb.).

I just want to convert everything to something that I can both stream and put on hard drive and take with me...

Hey guys,

Wonder if there is any way to move the task bar from bottom to top?

I found the some time I accidently hit the back button...moving top will be best holding position
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
It would be nice to have some control over that. At least if it was possible to set when it shows and hides - if not move it altogether.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
I agree. The location and ease of hitting by mistake is VERY annoying. Not to mention it takes up display real-estate. I would rather have physical buttons, but Honeycomb is apparently designed this way. Google is trying to force streamlining of hardware. One of the reasons external storage was rough at first and still not on the Xoom. Google did not want external storage with HC, but OEMs pushed back.
[Acer Iconia A500] tarheel23:
I too would love to see at least the option to have it moved to the top.

I have had the Gtablet, Xoom, Transformer, and now the A500, and I can say that I love the the way the Gtablet notification bar was at the top. Especially after rooting it and installing Vegan on it. All of the naviagation keys were then located in the notification bar. Makes navigating much easier.

I think about how I use my tablet, and most of the time it's either setting in my lap, or on my stomach/chest while laying in bed. Try hitting the nav buttons on the bottom while doing this, and you quickly miss the option to have it on the top where it would be much easier to access.

*Important*

This thread is for discussion of the boot animations linked below - questions, complaints, comments, feedback etc.

If you have an idea for a boot animation or request? > Post it in this other thread only please <

Frosty-Boot

Preview Video <all versions>

Frosty-boot is a replacement mod for the stock ANDROID loading logo animation with a touch of Honeycomb colors and flavor.

Android with some HC flare

Animated loading bar at the top

Animated fog

Animated text (Frosty-Boot v2: Full only)

You'll need to unpack the bootanimation.zip from the archive you select below.

If you don't have an ACER Iconia, but still want to try this out, you can at least use the Frosty-Boot: Clean version; it has no tags, no text and should work on any cousins of the a500 running HC @1280x800: eg Eee Pad etc. Use at your own risk, however.

Frosty-Boot: Clean

Starting at the cleanest with no tags and smallest size @7.1mb :

>Preview a single Frosty-Boot: Clean frame here<

>Download the Frosty-Boot: Clean boot animation here<

Frosty-Boot v1: Acer >Video< by t-dkp

This is the original Frosty-Boot with the Acer Iconia tag and assorted manufacturers and connection types @7.8mb.

>Preview a single Frosty-Boot v1: Acer frame here<

>Download the Frosty-Boot: Acer boot animation here<

Frosty-Boot v2: Full >Video< by dweebken

And finally the full version with all the tags and animated text @9.4mb:

>Preview a single Frosty-Boot v2: Full frame here<

>Download the Frosty-Boot v2: Full boot animation here<

Want something cleaner and faster!? You have another option here:

Nice

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Cool :)

Any issues? Hows the playback? I know it stutters about halfway, I figure the throughput bottlenecks a little while the tab is booting so the playback suffers but I'd like to get some idea of how it plays for others.

For anyone wondering... the animation is the frosty fog in the background rising and undulating. Part1 is a clean background with the droid centered. I might play around with that though.
[Acer Iconia A500] nazforex:
Yes very nice boot animation. It does stutter a little but still very nice.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:

[Acer Iconia A500] hokuto34:
how to instal it ? Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
If you have rooted your tablet, put bootanimation.zip into your /data/local folder - if you don't have root, you have to push it via adb from the Android SDK. There's lots of info around on how to set that up.

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Renaming anything is not part of the process. The bootanimation.zip file is inside the archive you downloaded. Reread the OP.

Edit...

Well i guess there isn't really anything more to 'reread' - its really just a matter of extracting the bootanimation.zip file from whatever version you downloaded.

Hope you get it working - post back if you have any other issues. Which one are you using btw?

I have a rooted A500

usb debug enabled

launched "adb push [path]\bootanimation.zip /data/local" (file copy ok)

reboot, Acer logo was displayed but after this nothing appears.. not even boot with the old Android logo..

where am I wrong?

Sorry for my bad english....
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Make sure you extract the bootanimation.zip from whatever archive you downloaded. Don't download the archive and rename it to bootanimation.zip - you'll get the error you have.

Download the archive of the version you want to use then open it and take the bootanimation.zip file from inside that then place it in the folder where adb resides and push it to the tablet like normal.

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

If you're rooted I don't think you even have to use adb. You can manually place the folder into data/local (if there isn't a folder in /data called local, you can create one) or /system/media/ (but I can't confirm that one) My tablet is not rooted so I use adb to push into /data/local.

I've often thought it would be nice to have that fog rolling in the background. It got me motivated enough to start perusing the SDK site and 'how to make Live Wallpaper' tuts and write-ups but I haven't actually done anything with it yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] hurrpancakes:
Well I'm looking forward to anything that you come up with!

On another note, what happened to the static wallpaper you had up?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:

2 sliding the screen

3 portrait

And if anyone want's it, here is the wallpaper - kinda boring with all that negative space but it suits me fine.

So, ya, animated fog in the background would = awesome.
[Acer Iconia A500] azraeljarah:
I'm having issues as well getting the v.ACER one installed. My tablet is rooted and I unzipped everything into the /data/local folder (part0, part1, desc.txt) but I'm still getting the normal logos when I restart the tablet. The file path at the bottom right of File Manager HD is mnt/sdcard/data/local... is that the right path or does it need to be in the root /data location because I wasn't able to create or move anything to that path on the tablet even with SU access. Any advice on this or am I just doing it incorrectly?
[Acer Iconia A500] kudakeru:
You need to push the bootanimation.zip file to /data/local, not the zip file's contents. Did you try to move it via adb? If your file manager doesn't request root access it's not going to be able to write to protected folders.
[Acer Iconia A500] azraeljarah:
Ah, I see. I don't think Filemanager HD uses SU access so I'll just get the SDK and push it that way like everyone else is suggesting and see how that goes. Thanks for the info. =D I had a feeling that I was putting everything in the wrong location on the tablet, heh.

EDIT:

Downloaded Root Explorer since everyone was raving about it and copied the files to the data/local folder in that and it worked perfectly. Absolutely loving the v.ACER startup logos. No stutter at all for me. Looks amazing. Keep 'em coming and thanks again for helping me to get it working. =D

[Acer Iconia A500] JaeKar99:
After a few builds of my own. I have noticed that the graphics flow pauses or has hangs.. I tried using jpgs for image files and that did not change the flow and cleared my wallpaper..

I wanted to ask gammaRascal: Have you found a size limit where the image flows better?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
The smaller the better.

Can't say I've found a limit but I haven't looked or tested for one either - I just try and optimize it as best I can and hope people won't complain about any stuttering. It will happen. You can hide it, but with these, it's hard to do as the smokey background (which is a frame-to-frame animation with no down spots) easily exposes it.
[Acer Iconia A500] JaeKar99:
I have found that I can reduce the size with jpgs, and I get good rendering but when the animation is done the wallpaper is now gone.

I am hopeful that with the update to 3.1 or a custom kernel that can be resolved..

Thanks bro.

[Acer Iconia A500] tow2:
thank u, this is really cool, work well on my iconia..

my iconia is rooted, so i use root explorer, unzip the original file that i download, copy the bootanimation.zip and then move the file to data/local folder

and it runs well :)
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
What hell is adb? And what does it do? I couldn't find the directory you mention.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
jodiac, sorry to read that you're having a hard time with this.

If you are rooted, you have access to all the directories and can move the bootanimatiojn.zip file

located inside

the archive you downloaded.

If you're not rooted, you have to use adb to push the bootanimation.zip located inside the archive you download, into the directory listed in the post I linked to above. adb is part of the android SDK. Plenty of information on it can be found through Google or through the Android SDK site.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I like the v1 very much except one thing. The android at the end. Can't we keep the foggy boot animation all the way and sync it for the last seconds of boot instead of the droid?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Then it would just look like the animation locks up and that is lame.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
why does it have to lock up? Can't the smoke thingy still play in the background?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Well... I suppose I could set it up so it loops but then I'd have to re-time the last few frames of the fog so it lines up with the first frame of the animation so instead of part0 going into part1, part0 would just start again from the start. That would be time consuming to set up though.

The easy way would be to extend the animation (which I see now is what you're suggesting) but that, I think, would be inconsistent. I'm not sure if all tabs boot at the same time, meaning, it might run out for some, it might cut out early for others - it would definitely increase the file size though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Well the loading bar could stop when it stops and only the fog to play indefinitely.

So far it's very little time between that and the desktop coming up.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
If the animation was setup to loop then I wouldn't have the load bar otherwise the load bar would loop as well and that would be too weird.

If the animation is just extended that would require some people timing their boot sequence using that CLEAN version so I could get an idea of how long the average boot-time is. I'm not convinced it's going to be all the same across all the tablets (with differing configs and apps) but not because I've tested it, just because I'm assuming - so timing would be required.

Currently, the CLEAN version is 71 images playing at 24fps. The math says it should take roughly 3 (2.95) seconds to play out but as you know, it takes longer.

I use the FULL version and it's the same amount of images, 71, but it takes close to 10 seconds to play out. This is all primarily due to the almost imperceptible pauses between some frames (longer pauses between others) while the boot process runs. Maybe it can't play 24fps? I don't know. The math on that, 71 images playing out in 10 seconds would be 7fps but clearly, it's not playing at 7fps. nor is it set to 7fps.

In order to manage a perfectly timed animation, playing out from start to finish it would require extending the animation only after getting an average on boot times from a handful of tabs. And even then, if it turns out that boot time is a variable, the animation might play out for some, it might cut off for others. Cutting it off might not seem so bad but say it cuts out 15 images... at roughly 170bytes per image that almost 2mb lost... while for others, it might play out, but then their boot sequence takes longer so it stops on the last frame and looks like it's frozen which is not a good idea.

If you have root access, all you need to do is copy and paste it into system\media.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
It never ceases to amaze me how some people imagine they can adjust the OP and produce a better result than the original. The OP clearly stated in the post of 1st May that the location for the zip file should be "/data/local". Everybody puts it there and of course it works. Now we have kjy2010 thinking he can just add it wherever he likes and what is worse telling other posters to put it elsewhere. By the way kjy2010 don't mix up your forward slashes "/" with your backward slashes"\". if you were going to put it in your media sub-folder it would be "/system/media" not "\system\media". Anyway that is beside the point, DON'T alter the OP's location.
[Acer Iconia A500] chickin2000:
Holly crap dude, lay off the coffee ay! throw him a fricking bone! As for Johnny0906, the easiest I have found if you are rooted, is an app called "absolute system", then put the file in goodies, bootanimations and job done. Hope this has helped better than the last posts lol. And thanks again for the lush animation. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not sure who stepped on your balls this morning, but there is ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat. I've installed it exactly the way I posted on 4 different A500's now, and 3 different times on my own (trying out different ROMS), with complete success. I'm sorry my slashes weren't up to your standards, by unzipping the main file and dropping the zip in the system/media folder with r/w permissions installs this animation much easier than having to push it :p

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Although I'm not rooted and I used the adb push method - as I understand it, if you're rooted, /system/media is also acceptable.

I didn't put any methods on how to install into the OP because I only support the product, not the installation or the method used to install it. It's definitely a use-at-your-own-risk situation.

I appreciate metpolds point - don't change the method / process for installation - however, those who have experience, can certainly do what they feel is best for them. My reply in post in post 7:

Was merely in response to hokuto34's question:

The only answer I could comfortably give is the method I used and the only one I have experience with -putting it in /data/local (whether the tab is rooted or not).
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Fantastic. Though I had a bit of a time getting it in the right place, I now have Frosty-Boot v2. This was used with one of the custom ROMs I had on the tab, but replaced. Glad it's back! Im no dev, so make some more!
