I only have one word...Unicorn! No just kidding. Seriously though, I'd like to Andy the Android as Frankensteins Monster either on the operating table coming to life amid lightning flashes or him just standing there with electricity sparking off his neck bolts. Sorry, I'm a huge Boris Karloff fan, as my name would suggest.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@gammaRascal - Thanks for your response. I would never have tried to do one myself from scratch, wouldn't know where to start. However after reading your "blueprint" I'm now prepared to have a go. All that can happen is that I don't succeed, after all the world's not going to end if I fail. I'm going to have fun trying. Hang in there for 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Xoom botanime ported - against my better judgment.

Never the less...
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
metpolds - i was wrong. Don't do it. I don't know why I blitzed on that detail but I don't think it will work since the numbers wont match - as I understand it the last frame of part0 needs to be 1 frame back numerically from part1. So if part0 ends with 0075.xx then part1 has to start with 0076.xx. Both Android [GEARS] start at 0000.xx

Sorry for that. I hope you get this post first otherwise when you try, I dont think it will work.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
This one is cool but so far there is only a small version.

Would b cool to see it in a big high def version

I personally try to avoid having to see the boot animation at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Maybe we need a blank one then.
[Acer Iconia A500] xamilek555:
I'd like to see a bootanimation wich will shows guts (lungs,heart etc.) which will be working (like in our bodies now) :)

Sorry for my english
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@gammaRascal - Thks for that, after a late night I was only just getting around to "looking" before "meddling", so note taken of your comments.
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
I may not always sit around andwatach the boot screen but I like having the options to change it when I want.

I think the first one you did is great and I would love to see a windows blue screen of death

With the boot info instead of error message.:D
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
How about one with a powered off circuit board (like the screen is a window into the tablet), then you begin to see the "power" flow through the components starting from from the power switch and move across and down the screen.. once it's "powered" up, then some of the major components can "pulse" until the boot cycle is finished.

Could also have the little android bee flying around and checking on things..
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
I love this idea. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
+3 on that! I posted the same suggestion on his other thread. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Odinbear:
Just a small change to your Gears

Is there any chance of a droid red or android green version?

would love to be able to do the changes but my skill levels lacking to say the least,:rolleyes:

Have seen a few variations of some bootanimations and just a small change in colour can make a big impact.

There's some very talented people on xda, sadly im not one of them, lol..

As to a new idea would like to see my avatar get the android make over, starts off as normal then the screen wobbles with flashes like the signals being lost then a black background and the bear and rucksack, scalf is now green or your gears blue (outline) android version.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Color variations of Android[GEARS] is not outside the realm of possibility...
[Acer Iconia A500] chickin2000:
Dude that would be lush, when we had that little update a few days ago, the boot screen was in green, same gears boot, but in green. It looked really sweeeeeeet :D hint hint lol
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Could you make some cool animation out of this? The image came from this site hxxp://camoni.xnet.co.il/index.php?idr=400&t=0&p=4427
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
I have an idea I am working on for a boot animation.

What program do you use to animate the frames?

I am trying to do it with Adobe Fireworks, but after the project gets past a certain point, the file just gets corrupted. I have had to redo half the project three times now...

Also, how do you get the PNGs so small?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I use After Effects for all my animations and to get the png's as small as I can, I have setup a series of Photoshop Actions to breeze through the entire sequence of images while I go have a smoke. (:
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
OK. I figured out how to get the png files smaller, but when I try to run it, I just get a white screen.

Anyone know what causes that?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Sorry I can't help ya there.

Maybe you should start a boot animation development thread.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
good idea. thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] budhas:
Hi Gammarascal, i think the Idea from some other User before its great. Starting with the Apple Sign and then the Android sign kick it out. Or i have some animation on my HD2 long time ago the Apple starting and will bea eat and then the HTC Sign comes...Maybe its possible i would love it ...Greets
[Acer Iconia A500] goofytim:
Don't use PNG, use JPG. That's what I did and it was about 75% smaller. Check out my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16223334&postcount=58

I am new to this and this was my first attempt but I learned a lot. The main thing is to use JPG instead of PNG. All the boot animations are is a sequence of images and the loading is done by a basic image viewer which does support JPG. Hope that helps.

[Acer Iconia A500] Elusivo:
hi

I love the gears bootanimation. I am using the v2 animation, on my galaxy note the resolution has to be 800*1280 instead of 1280*800 for to be fullscreen and cause atm I dun have my computer working I used the quickpic app to rotate the PNG images. It works, the thing is that I seem to lose some colors in the shadows of the images and, the worst thing is that the images go from 40KB to 106KB and some up to almost 500KB, which makes the animation really slow, by the time it starts rolling smooth the phone is almost already in the android lockscreen lol

Anybody know of a good app to rotate the pics without increasing it's size or losing details in the images? or somebody can do it for me? or even, If i convert them to jpg will it be smoother?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
okay ... a new question and also soo weird....

I want that my 2 PC´s recognize my device when its in bootloader mode

1º pc recognizes it well and its running UBUNTU.

2ºmy sister´s PC RUNNING WIN7 doesn´t recognize my DHD into bootloader mode.. but if i look the screen of the device the device automatically was changed his status to "HBOOT USB PLUG" but here is the problem:

When windoze7 detects and recognizes my device It issues a sound, but when I connect my DHD it issues different other one, that is to say detects it but it does not recognize her, then the usb mode I cannot use it :(

but if i boot my dhd and put her in debugging mode and run adb parameters windoze recognizes the device perfectly...

i am not an experienced user in windows :confused::confused:

and i don´t know whats the problem. its strange..

any advise?thx in advance:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Between you and the stickman you've had every problem going!!

Have you installed HTC Sync onto your sister's PC?

Why haven't you converted her to Ubuntu?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
lololol we have a lot of problems Especially with windows i hate it :mad::mad::mad:

but she is afraid of not being able to handle it if I am not in house (SHE HAS ANOTHER DHD) in addition she likes the Microsoft OFFICE. LOL (and not open office)

Yes i had installed htc sync drivers, and sdk working well in usb debugging mode with the DHD turned on
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Get to the stage you were at before:

fastboot

connect phone to PC

Using the Android-sdk shell

type

fastboot devices

Do you get a response?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
yes i tried in fastboot mode but only says "list of attached devices" and nothing more... there aren´t devices in the list.. :confused:

and if i write adb shell""" says ""not devices found"" logically
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
the problem appears into fastboot and into bootloader

ok in fastboot mode into sdk shell write fastboot devices and shows me a message:

"unable to initialize the aplication because ADBWINAPI.DLL not found :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Ok, try this:

Create an Ubuntu live CD.... you can see where I'm going with that one.

Sorry buddy, will need to wait for some other poor sap that uses Windoze to pop along.

There was an old thread I read once and someone solved it by going to device manager and updating drivers or something for the "android device". <<-- Re your new post

Other than that, usual suggestion is try a different USB socket (different side of PC).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
ok tried another socket but the PC says to me :LOL

good idea mate... if i create aN ubuntu root/live cd i can try with the konsole :)

i solved my problem with "winfuck"7 (windows for microsoft´s friends)

ok when i was tried to input a fastboot code the CMD (shell) of windows returned me:

"unable to initialize the program because ADBWINAPI.DLL does not exist...

well i browsed for this file and its a library file for adb.exe commands.

under my experience fastboot parameters shouldn´t be afeccted by the ausence of this file but when i was downloaded it (a zip file with adbwinapi.exe, adbwinusbapi.dll and adb.exe) and i have put it in the folder "tools" of the sdk (Rightly where it shelters fastboot.exe) VOILÀ!!!!

i tried to enter:

"fastboot devices"

and returned to my

"HT.........."

also i tried to rebbot the device from fastboot with

"fastboot reboot" and WORKS WELL!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bbluee:
I promised myself show how Samsung treats its and how they assume responsibilities.

More here:

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 blog

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Facebook Page

The main ideea is that i am a lucky owner of a phone that comes from a batch that was released on the market with manufacturing errors.

Other owner with same problem found out:

After x time the displays of these phones coming from that batch lose color depth and increase brightness, the overall image quality being shattered to pieces.

To be shure my phone had this particular problem, i tried everything from the software point of view that could be done : changed to stock android, tried different custom roms, even the ones with voodoo color fixes, factory reset (of course) but nothing.

I was shure then i had that problem as the owner above and i brought it to service (i just bought the phone in november 2010). I did not know i had to put the original android from samsung, so i got a phone call the next day from samsung service, being told that i voided my warranty and i should pay 350 dolars to fix it.

I understand that rules are rules and that it says that if you use other than original samsung software you void the warranty, but they know, and i know that this is a production fault having NOTHING to do with the software .

The main ideea is the phone comes from a batch with manufacturing defects and they SHOULD asume responsability.

Don`t get me wrong, i loved this phone and Android, but the way samsung deals with this problem is outrageous and i must "be heard" :P .

I hope your phones do not come from that batch.

Thank you & happy flasing,

You wrote that You have master degree in computer science

BUT IT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING...

were were you living last years?

you were smart enough to flash new firmware but you failed with ensuring your own security and comfort as a common customer, poor you

I can bet that almost everybody on xda do know that before sending broken device (ANY device!!!) to ANY service the most secure way is to ensure it has system and enhancements oficially supported by manufacturer.

Greetings!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bbluee:
I know i did not have the "best" approach, and if any other given problem they could be right.

I did not want to brag with the degree, only to point out that i know i didn`t do anything to get the phone to have that display problem, and the fact that i know that the software in this case HAS NOTHING to do with the fact this product comes from a batch with manufacturing defects.

I know that here on xda, are people with far more android and phones knowledge than i have.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
And you just gave up? This post looks like garbage to me.

"It is like i buy a laptop with windows 7 and i have a hardware problem , take it into service with a linux operating system and they say the warranty was voided." is NOTHING like modifying phone firmware. Samsung doesn't provide you with the tools to flash 3rd party firmware to your phone - if you used ODIN, you used STOLEN Samsung software.

Masters degree in computer science - lol, read the book, "overschooled but undereducated." When sending back a product for warranty service, you re-install all stock firmware; that's pretty basic knowledge.

Sounds like you're bad mouthing Samsung for something that is your fault. Personally, I wouldn't have taken it sitting down; they definitely should fix it, and making a stupid blog post to spout non-sense is just silly - demand they fix it, and know your rights under the law before you do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bbluee:
Ok, ok... Stop throwing rocks men :)) . I said i know i have mistaken in not flashing the phone with the original firmware. Again i did not want to sound cocky in the first post.

Please excuse me if i did.

I just wanted to say i know that what i did, had nothing to do with the display problem.

Was it my fault i bought a product from a batch with manufacturing defects?

Thank you for your feedback.

You can use system app remover and remove it from the rom. After you've done that you can use the alternate gallery app that comes on the phone ir find a replacement online, but the tom should come with two gallery apps if im not mistaken.

Any advice on how to get around this?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
What were you changing when you broke it? ie. how badly broken is it? If you can get into adb while it's running, you can undo the changes via the shell, and reboot.

If not, then you should re-flash a stock ROM via ODIN (see dev forum for guides) and start again.

If you freeze it with something like MyBackup Pro or Toolbox, I think it just lists as "System Updates".
[Captivate General] likiud:
So now that the gingerbread roms have been out for a while, I'm very tempted to go ahead and flash one, however I'm seeing a lot of the roms are still in beta.

I'd like to know what are some known issues that i should be aware of.

Stability and battery life is very important. I'm currently still running Continuum v4.

What known issues are there with the gingerbread roms and any pros and cons of it compared to a froyo rom other than the obvious?
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Personally I have had stability issues with all the GB ROMs (that I tried). Random freezes, and reboots. I experienced this with continuum, GR, Perception and Mosaic. I will say Mosaic was the best for me. But it was running TW 3, so it felt like FroYo but a little slower and buggier. GR and Perception are running TW 4, which is much nicer, but still very beta. I feel Perception is much more stable than GR-12. But even so, I get a freeze that requires a reboot after almost every 2 hours of use.

As far as battery, there is definately a charging issue. If you leave it charging after full, when you unplug you get a big drop. I tried all the FroYo calibration tricks, it they don't seem to work. I say this with a grain of salt. I haven't stayed on the same ROM for more than a few days. So I haven't given it much time to learn before I flashed a new ROM.

Its been a fun week using GB, but I think I am going back to FireFly until the ROMs lose the "beta"

Sent from my Captivate running Perception IIb3
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Yes, there is a charging issue for some, but not all. Battery life (once charged) is unreal. I have found the roms I've used to be very stable. Juwe's, Continuum betas 1-3 and RC3 were great(missed rc1 and 2 while trying juwe's because of charging issue). C5.1 and 5.3 have been great also.

As with any rom, read read, and read some more before attempting a GB rom. Ask questions, use search, know exactly what you have to do. Also, have a jig (just in case). If you are one that doesn't have 3 button fix, read ALOT about that in regards to GB.

Good luck.
[Captivate General] kamiyo:
I've been on MikeyMike's GR-12 and talondev's kernel and have been doing farely well. Everything will have it's instabilities, but so far I've only noticed a couple of things (tips and otherwise):

1. be careful about which apps and stuff you restore from TiBu or others; LauncherPro was causing alota FC's with the new rom

2. be sure to read the WHOLE OP in whichever ROM you're flashing, since (though I'm sure you know this, just making sure) GR requires new bootloaders. Also, if you're flashing back to stock 2.1 you need to use one-click odin and not three-button fix.

3. I've read about charge-death/issues, but I haven't had much problem with that.

4. At least for the rom I'm using, the ambient light sensor seems to freak out sometimes.

5. also I don't think there is automatic ext4 conversion. Most roms just use rfs and give you an option of converting with an app. Some roms require you to reconvert back to rfs before flashing a new update or something.

PROS:

1. Touchwiz 4 (it's pretty nice, though still not as feature-filled as custom launchers)

2. GPS has been GREAT for me since upgrading to GR. not sure if this is common (also my gps on stock was horrid)

3. Smooth even without ext4 or OC.

Note I haven't tried alot of GR roms (did for froyo) so my experience in terms of diversity is rather limited. But as the above posts say, READ EVERYTHING.

As long as you're not going to be away from your computer for a long time, I'd say take a plunge.
