Hey guys, I havent seen this posted in here. I have a stock TB with S-off using revolutionary. Stock ROM, stock kernel, ect. I come from the rooted DINC world, so Im familiar with clockworkmod, flashing update.zip files, ect. I just flashed this to my TB, and everything still appears stock. Any ideas as to why?

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Ok nevermind. I just got it to work. What I did, was I extracted the bootanimation.zip from the update.zip file. I then went through root explorer and moved it to the system/customize/resource, I renamed it VZW_bootanimation.zip, and deleted the original. Everything works great, I even have the stock sound with it! :D

My only question is, Now when I turn the phone on, I get the super bright white "HTC" screen with green letters, then I get the black "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, after that I get the vortex funnel with sound, and the the "HTC Thunderbolt" sceen. How do I get rid of the initial white "HTC" screen? Or is there a screen available to flash to make it Black with green "HTC" logo? I just hate that blinding white screen, lol Thanks!

Hey guys. Been away for a while (first semester of college) and been busy. I have a completely eventless month ahead of me before going back to school and have wanted to revamp this a bit for a little while now.

If i can find the original project at this point I will remove the logo and upload.

Feel free to turn it into a live wallpaper, and please post it here if you do.

The blinding white screen is the splash screen which means I guess I mislabeled this topic to some extent. Check out the following thread for replacement splash screens. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351468

With the work I plan to do on this I think I will be removing the static image at the end. If you would like to use that as a splash I can have that compiled and put up right away.

boot animation

Just wanted to be sure this is ok for Eternity ROM, I saw your signature shows you are on that, just wanted to be sure it was ok, Thanks

BTW, it looks awesome!!

Also, does the file need to be renamed update.zip for it to be able to be flashed? or is bootanimation.zip ok? Having a little trouble.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
I did not put it in an update.zip this time because of the fact that different ROMs use different locations. For Eternity place the bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource and fix the permissions with Root Explorer. If you really want an update.zip I can compile it for you.

Sent to you from my SOAB 3.5 T-Bolt
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
When I did have a BAMF ROM it went in /system/media

If you don't see it there use root explorer to search the system folder for bootanimation.zip to find the location.

I should put together some sort of list to keep track of what goes where on the different ROMs

second part?

Hey, did you ever get the second half of the animation to work?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] unctucker:
I know this is off topic but I have installed your boot animations and they work great. I have downloaded the modern warfare boot animations from a while back and can't get it to run. I even extracted the sound from rar. Can you please help me? I get the message that the file can not be opened due to changes made in recovery. It says it needs to be updated. I can send you what I have if that helps.

Sent to you from my SOAB 3.5 T-Bolt
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
Did you make sure permissions were set correctly on the files?

Also on my animation, does the second part freeze on your phone or does it run until the phone starts?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] unctucker:
Permissions? And yes the second half does freeze. Your are talking about the Thunderbolt logo with rooted at the bottom I'm assuming.?

Sent to you from my SOAB 3.5 T-Bolt
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
Android is linux based and so there are file permissions. Use root explorer to navigate to the bootanimation and sound. /system/media or /system/customize/resources and find the files. Long press and choose permissions then checking all the boxes. on restart you should have it.

And it seems you have the old bootanimation. That was meant to stop with the rooted image. The new one has a loop in the end and shouldn't stop until the phone starts.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
For my ROM (InfectedROM Eternity) the bootanimation goes in /system/customize/resource/ and by default there is no sound enabled at all.

If that directory doesn't work could you link me to your ROM so I can figure out the correct placement for everything?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tburns:
How do u turn the sound on with the infected Rom? I can't get the sound to work even with that zip file. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
You will need to edit this file

/system/customize/CID/default.xml

Scroll all the way down and near the end you will see

<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" />

After /bootanimation.zip" and before /> add audio="/system/customize/resource/FinalThunder.mp3" audiostart="android"

The sound would then work with my animation correctly if FinalThunder.mp3 is in that folder.

Most other ROMs I have seen start their sound in the VZW folder. To do this just change audiostart="android" to audiostart="VZW"

Does the 2nd part freeze halfway through, or not show up at all. It has been known to freeze though I'm not sure why. As for the sound you may need to make the edit as seen 3 posts above this one with the sound from the 1st post.

Did you edit the xml like I told you?

Edit: /system/customize/CID/default.xml

For your rom you will see

<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" />

Add the path to the sound (if you put it in the same folder as the bootanimation:

After /bootanimation.zip" and before /> add audio="/system/media/file.mp3" audiostart="Part0"

Make sure you have the "Part0" in there or it won't be able to tell when to start playing.

Eternity rom anyway to get rid of white HTC screen? Sound starts on instead of thunderbolt animation.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Daniel.galvez:
Great new animation! i have a minor problem though, it doesnt loop. it plays the animations once through then the screen goes black for 10-15 seconds until my phone starts up. is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

HTC Thunderbolt, Gingeritis 3D v 1.7
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bobz1993:
White HTC screen is the splash. Sound is never active there. If you want you can flash the splash I put here in bootloader.

The only part that should loop is at the end when the loud are calmer and the words glow a bit. Problem that seems to happen for most including me is not that it doesn't loop, but that the animation freezes halfway thru that last part (doesn't affect the phone starting up). Never heard of a black screen problem before.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Daniel.galvez:
Yeah it just goes through the animation then turns dark. It doesn't affect anything to the phone booting up, I was just wondering. Nice work by the way!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] eldiablo2us:
I also did this and it works fine but stops when it reaches the words htc thunderbolt with rooted at the bottom right. I know people have said its suppose to loop until phone reboots but what have i dont wrong? any help would be awesome.

also i downloaded the bootanimation from the first op and when i rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip it works then hangs on a black screen. any idea guys. i really like this boot animation....

how to get sound working with the boot animation(thunderbolt)

All credits go to stoudtlr

30th June 2011, 07:32 PM

After days of unsuccessful searching of the forums and also Google and multiple flashes between stock Rom and Th3ory's I have figured out how to add sound to his boot animation or your own custom boot animation in his rom.

NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!! YOU WILL BE EDITING A SYSTEM FILE USED DURING BOOT

1. copy default.xml from /system/customize/CID to /sdcard using Root Explorer or another app.

2. open VZW_bootanimation.zip to see what the name of the folder with your boot png's in it is named. Write that down. If using the boot animation that comes with GINGERTH3ORY the folder will be "part0"

3. open default.xml from your sdcard using a web editor. I use Android Web Editor Lite.

4. on line 120 will be the info for where the phone looks for the boot animation and boot audio. notice that boot animation is VZW_bootanimation.zip and audio is Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3

5. on line 120 change audiostart="VZW" to audiostart="part0" or whatever the name of the folder is with your boot animation png's in it

6. save the xml and exit your editor

7. change the name of the original default.xml to default.xml.old

8. using Root Explorer paste the edited default.xml from /sdcard into /system/customize/CID

9. now paste whatever mp3 you want to play at boot into the /system/customize/resource folder and rename it to Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3

10. reboot and finally enjoy the audio

If using a custom boot animation simply rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip and paste it into the /system/customize/resource folder.

Hope this helps those that were having issues!

So a few of us in the LG forums have a problem with Debugging our devices in the VS2010 debugger. We need to know if anyone else has this problem. Our devices are unlocked but through our MFG app and not Chevron. We can deploy the App through the Debugger as well as the Application XAP installer included with our tools. It's when it comes time to the actual debug stage is where it fails.

Also does anyone know the exact REG edits that chevron applies?

I have the same problem with my Samsung Focus S (I'm on 7720), I unlocked it using WindowBreak, can this be the reason why I can't debug? Is there a Reg Key that WindowBreak changes that prevents VS Debugging?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
For the LG guys: There are a couple of additional registry values you should set, which relate to debugging. Look at the provxml-based unlocks (such as WindowsBreak) and read the list of registry values and keys that they change. Therea re a couple of apps on the phoen which are required for debugging, but by default they are killed to save memory. A "normally" dev-unlocked phone will require that they stay running.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cralis:
Hi guys,

Hope someone can assist. I have a stock Tab, and entered all the suggested APN settings. I now have 3G (Can text, call, recieve calls etc...), and I can use internet apps, such as Facebook, Market etc. However, using the stock internet browser ... nothing. Web page cannot be displayed. I can't browse. When I get into Wifi connectivity, then it all works fine...

So, under 3G, I have internet, but can't browse.

I have upgraded to Gingerbread, and still have the same issues. Any ideas what can just block browsing, but allow everything else? The only common things I guess, is my APN settings... the device it's self ... and my network.

I'm in Australia, using TPG as my provider..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
try grabbing another browser in the market like opera mini which is amazing. If that solves the problem then its something to do with the installation of the UI or Android on your device. Either restore to factory settings. If neither work you may have a port issue on your APN settings as different internet services work differently. So triple check with your carrier.

But if Opera or another browser works then I would suggest restore factory settings and if they don't work with stock browser then call Sammy and they will do a full reset on the device and or replace it. They are not that bad at doing this.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Miren Browser. As fast as Dolphin Mini but with more features and less ugly than Dolphin HD. All the above mentioned just uses the phone's browser engine to render anyways so performance should be the same as stock more or less.

Use Opera Mobile occasionally because it's even faster than stock, but some pages don't render correctly and/or links fail.

Only use Firefox when none of the above work correctly with a website.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] paranoid2007:
Do you have a cab file for that browser? Would like to try it, but can't find it in the Android market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
Actually it uses the AOSP browser (which seems to be included in touchwizz although not used by the stock browser), so it doesn't have hardware acceleration, which in my opinion is an advantage : It not as smooth but it zooms and reflows properly and doesn't show a checkered background when you scroll.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] El Salvador:
I've been using Android a couple of years and I never got the urge to use a different browser. I always use the stock browser because it's optimized to your phone, thus faster. For me using an external browser doesn't make sense.
