(rooted phones!)

1. Download the file (obviously)

2. Put the file on to your SD card

3. Use Root Explorer ( market Link ) or any other phone explorer that allows you to manipulate your rom files.

3. Navigate to where your existing bootanimation is (on Sense it's usually /data/local/ on AOSP it's /system/media)

4. And replace it (overwrite it) Don't forget to make a backup of your current Bootanim.

5. Reboot ;)

* ADB method *

1. Connect your phone with the pc via USB cable and turn on USB debbuging

2. Put the file into your /tools folder where you installed your AndroidSDK)

3. Open CMD (command prompt)

4. Type :

cd location of your /tools folder (in example) cd c:\androidsdk\tools
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local ([B][U]for SENSE roms)[/U][/B]
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media [B][U](for AOSP roms)[/U][/B]

* Recovery *

1. Put file on your SDcard (no subfolders)

2. Boot into recovery

3. Flash the zip file

4. Reboot :)

Downlaods :

[Desire Themes and Apps] DanijelDesire:
Worked great using adb.
[Desire Themes and Apps] aca85:
Ok guys,final version is here :) it works like in the preview :)

[Desire Themes and Apps] Acuracana:
Great work, thank you. Works fine.
[Desire Themes and Apps] argeoff:
Just tried it on my desire, very nicely done. Thanks !
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bananebieger:
Hey.

Using it on my Desire.

Really nice!

If you change the looping sequence so that you see no interruption when starting the loop sequence again it will be perfect.

In the splash screen thread is a perfect splash for the animation btw.
[Desire Themes and Apps] AppliedPlum:
I don't get it, I followed the instructions but when I type in "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/" it comes up with a message saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Someone help...please?

Desire, CM7, 3(UK)
[Desire Themes and Apps] aca85:
Do you have ADB setup on you pc? see this thread > http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

or http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

Or just flash it through the Recovery,it's easier.
[Desire Themes and Apps] birkenhair:
Looks really cool!
[Desire Themes and Apps] milogen:
Nice, Thanks!

[Verizon Droid Charge] dcc123:
Hi, I live on a farm where my only internet is 3G tethering. How is the fringe range 3G reception on the Charge?

I really can't decide between the Thunderbolt and the Charge. Both are severely underwhelming, but I decided to choose 4g in the hope that 4G will come to my area within the next two years.

My main concerns are reception, battery life, and developer support. I feel that the TB wins on two of those fronts, and pretty much their specs are the same otherwise (besides AMOLED+).

For me this has to be the best music app for android, never let me down in finding the song I want! :)

But just wanted to know, does anyone know the latest version of this app?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] festa20:
Cant find it on the market at all
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ShyamSasi:
'.............. No warez please ...........
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
I can't believe these kind of apps are allowed in the market. It is just ripping of music and stealing from the artists and google allows it. There must be some complaints came in from the musicians you might think.

Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gibbo82:
Music junk has been off the Market now for awhile.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] festa20:
Tue reason it might be off market might because it is illegal and cause of complaints from users about it
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gibbo82:
If thats the case why is there still so many mp3 download apps still avalible!?... They r just the same as music junk
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] festa20:
I dont know I didnt make the app or remove it its just wat I think man I know there is plenty more still out but that reason I have above is because a few other ones have been took of the.market for the exact same reason
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Step666:
From the looks of the apps still on the market, they only download songs from legal free sources - public domain works and from artists who choose to make their music available.

[G Tablet Accessories] lafloer:
For anyone looking for a cheap and nice looking solution to have a portfolio case for your gtab:

I tried this out and it worked out quite well:

$13 portfolio from walgreens (any other portfolio may work too)

$5 in velcro

$2 in superglue

$0 for some parts of the original packaging

total $20

here is how i did it:

1. take everything out of the portfolio (paper, etc.)

2. put softpart of velcro on back of gtab

3. put counterpart of velcro on pad site of portfolio

4. put a small piece of the scratchy part of velcro on the inside of the closing lip

5. take the dark styrofome from the orginal packaging and glue it to the left side of the portfolio. Put it a little bit further away from the middle than from the outside, so it closes well over the gtab

6. put an even smaller piece of the scratchy part on left side of the portfolio (see picture)

7. put the gtab onto the left side. just a little bit more to the right, so it closes well

8. put 8-10 inches of velcro (with the protective tape on it) under the gtab

9. close the portfolio. the styrofom should go right over it and protect it well when the portfolio is closed

10. if you want to stand up the gtab to watch a movie, flip the portfolio all the way around and use the 8-10 inches of unused velcro to stand up the portfolio in the angle that works best.

DONE

Looks good and professional when closed. the left side slit in the portfolio can be used for the screen cloth. the styrofome further protects the gtab in case i should be so uncoordinated to drop it.

please look at attached pictures for the results.
[G Tablet Accessories] dantedom:
that looks great

i think i might do the same with the one i already have since the box i used is already broken. although i was thinking on buying the case that the xoom is using they sell it at best buy. but not really sure if its worth the 50 bucks.

thanks for sharing
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt Bernius:
In the last month, I'm not sure when, my phone has ceased being able to connect to a PC via USB. Before I call Dell and request a new unit, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about software causes?

I'm running 2.2.2 (351/354) and was curious if this could be anything other than a hardware problem.

Thanks for the help.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macqueyl:
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. Instead of asking to connect via USB as an external drive, Dell Sync is waiting to connect.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt Bernius:
Glad I'm not the only one. Three questions:

1. Which OS build are you running?

2. Have you used any third party connectors?

3. Have you ever had problems with the streak not seeming to take a charge?

I'll be most likely seeing about getting a replacement model, but would love to see if there's something I can do to avoid this in the future.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
Both of these happened to me at the same time. I freaked at the idea that it wouldn't charge more than the USB connection, obviously. Later that same afternoon it started working on its own and has been fine for a couple of weeks now.

It happened off my computer with the stock cable and continued in the car with my H/U and an aftermarket cable on the way to work.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosenn:
I had the same problem. I even bought a new usb cable and no luck. So I did a factory reset and now the usb connection is working again. To reset power off device, Hold down both the volume up and down button then press and hold the power button and a reset screen appears. Use the volume buttons to navigate and the camera button to select.( IF you can Back-up your apps and settings first)

(Update) It worked one time and now the problem has returned. I did a factory restore twice and no luck. At least I can still charge the battery.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tsouza:
Hi all,

All the extended capacity battery for Atrix I've seen so far makes it look like a brick. Does anyone knows of a >1900mAh battery that doesn't adds so much bulk?

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rred:
I opted for an external battery "refiller". About $20-25 from Motorola or Duracell, this is a battery that charges from a standard USB port/charger and plugs into your phone, almost giving an Atrix a full recharge.

I would have just picked up a spare battey,but then you've got to get a charging dock or play swap-swap to keep the spare charged. This way, the "spare" can charge from any standard charger.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] prscarp:
Probably not exactly what you are looking for but like Rred said, heres an external battery pack that will charge any USB device. I have it and it's pretty handy!

http://www.meritline.com/energizer-xp2000-universal-rechargeable-power-pack---p-64361.aspx
[Atrix 4G Accessories] xredjokerx:
the battery we have IS the extended version of it lol
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rred:
I'm really paranoid about unbranded Chinese lithium batteries (I don't like dead batteries or ones that catch fire in the night and explode) but that's a nice deal, complete with all the adapter tips and pouch.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primexx:
Hello,

I have been wondering about the substantive difference between the carrier and manufacture branding, but couldn't find anything on google or here about this subject.

Basically, it's common knowledge that carrier-branded phones get updates when the carrier wants you to, but is there also a delay if the phone is not carrier branded but manufacture branded?

For example, I bought my HTC phone through retail so it is not branded by a carrier, but it still has the HTC branding on the phone. Does this mean that updates will be pushed whenever HTC decides to push it instead of as soon as Microsoft releases it?

If so, would it be worth flashing the ROM to get rid of the HTC branding too? Is this even possible? The threads on de-branding and flashing HTC phones seem to all link to HTC ROMs instead of generic Microsoft ones, do they even exist?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
Its just my though on the whole thing but I believe the LG e900 is not been credited for what it really is. I've been through 2 Samsung wp7 phones Omnia 7 and Focus, also used the htc surround and the LG stacks up good if not better.

The sleekness the LG apps are simple the best. I was comparing the screen from the focus to the optimus 7 and the difference is really minimal. Its such a shame the internet reviews don't say how good this phone really is.

Next WP I'll be looking out for Nokia and LG
[Windows Phone 7 General] skullan:
Do you tether with this phone? I'm currently waiting on a BB Torch, but if I feel it's a little to under-powered for what I am looking for, I'll likely be trading it in for either an Optimus 7 or a Nexus S.

With that said, I hate the Android UI compared to the WP7 (which I consider extremely good).
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
No, I thing the only way to tether is if you jailbreak.

Personally if your getting a phone for tethering purposes you should get the nexus. Blackberry ar kinda lame ATM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Are you saying that LG Optimus 7 is actually better than Samsung Omnia 7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] blacksoul0:
It depends. The Omnia 7 has a Super AMOLED screen, the Optimus 7 doesn't have update problems. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
While I do agree it's a great phone, and probably one of the best current WP7 devices on the market, I'm not sure how you can say the screen difference is minimal... the plain old LCD on the Optimus really looks washed out compared the AMOLED if you ask me.

Also most of the reviews for the LG that I've read have been very positive. It's just not a very "exciting" phone.

Sent from a telephony device
[Windows Phone 7 General] froibet:
implying the Surround was "exciting" (which has better cred than the e900).
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I own both devices, and I can say I prefer the Optimus 7.

Of course the Omnia 7 is beautiful, has a great S-AMOLED screen... but:

- The LG is more reliable (no update problems, no other bugs that I found on the Omnia 7).

- LG has 16GB storage, when my Omnia has only a pathetic outdated 8GB

- LG has DLNA

- LG has great specific apps: Scan Search, Metro Scan, Speech to Text, Panorama photos... Whereas Samsung apps are lame.

- LG has real physical buttons (this is great)

- LG has the best battery life.

So yes, I love this phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I bought my Samsung Omnia 7 whole two months ago and since day one till today it has never once crashed on me yet. I want to see it crash so that I can look, how it looks.

The Screen and with combination of Gorilla glass technology makes it look really premium phone and I have 16GB Memory phone, only 513USD from Expansys-USA.

No Updates Problem or anything for me, everything went smooth and in pace ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] blacksoul0:
The Optimus 7 has Gorilla Glass, too.

And no update problems? Microsoft halted all updates for the Omnia 7 for quite a while, because Samsung messed up the firmware. A friend received the February and NoDo update last week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheOnly1:
The best feature of the Optimus 7 is the built in registry editor. This makes it the ONLY Windows Phone that can be unlocked at every time without the need of a computer. It also makes unlocking future proof :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
The Samsung screens are better I must say.

I don't know what screen tech the optimus 7 uses but it way better than the HTC. Seriously its nowhere washed out. Moving on from the screen thou the build quality is soooo much better on the LG, the buttons are great the ohone is mostly metal unlike the plastic feel on focus. And as someone mention above, the LG apps are something to Wow about compare samgsung. I yes I do own both phones they're next to me right now.

( Get Samsung if your all abt the screen tech

( Get LG if you want a overall phone sleekness,apps no bugs etc.

P.s my focus refuses to connect to my pc just show up has unknown USB which is what lead me to the LG.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weatherx:
tether on LG phones is possibly the easiest of all current wp7 devices. you just need to bring out the MFG app and use it to change the port setting. doesn't involve jailbreaking or any zune hacking. you can also edit registry using that app.

i can't believe nobody mentioned this MFG app yet. greatest thing on wp7 ever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrmoo:
one of the reasons the optimus 7 has sold badly because many of the initial units had defective bluetooth chipsets ... i actually just bought one a few weeks ago and it has the dodgy bluetooth as well (dead chipset)

waiting for lg to fix it (in the uk they initially tell customers its an ms bug !)

i looked at a hd7 optimus and omnia side by side the hd7s screen was dull in comparison to the others and seemed slower ... the samsung just a bit better and bigger

the samsung camera was way better

i got the lg as they were hugely discounting it (as opposed to samsung which would have been my choice)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
I can only speak from one side of the fence here as I have owned my Omnia 7 since November last year. I haven't managed to have a play with an Optimus 7 either...

However given the choice I am not sure I would choose the Omnia 7 with the benefit of hindsight. I am still yet to receive the 7392 update and MS have given no indication of when Orange Omnia 7 customers are likely to get it either.

It is a real pain every time an update is released you have the worry about whether it is actually going to install or cause problems with your phone. (I was updated to a faulty bootloader).

Yes the hardware is fantastic, wonderful screen and nice sturdy metal chassis but that can only account for so much. Honestly given the choice of any handset at the moment the Optimus 7 would probably be the one I would seriously look at getting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
That has not been my experience. I originally had a lg optimus 7 that was sent for RMA twice and they didn't fix anything, eventually sold it. I got the samsung focus and love it so much more than the lg.

basically the quality of optimus 7 is generally poor compared to the samsungs
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
I hate LG phones from the bottom of my soul (LOL)

Build quality sucks as hell and it has too many touch bugs (my experience with others LG phones, not Optimus 7).

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and before, I had a Samsung Wave S8500 (Bada).

I just LOVE the metal body of Samsung's phones and the Super AMOLED screens.

I have ZERO problems with updates and my Omnia 7 has 16gb internal memory too !! :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I dont know how much LG price is, but if it costs same around 500USD for a piece like Samsung Omnia here in US, I would definitely buy Omnia than LG. I can wait if my Nodo is two weeks late.. as long as it is coming after two weeks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
When people compare these phones they forget to compare the price.

Put samsung on one side, put 500 dollars cash in middle, and than LG oval shaped phone..

Now look and see which one is better for same 500 dollars in middle.. press the power on button to get switch on the home screen if you are in doubt.. you will know the better choice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
$500? Well people in the UK must be in luck becus I paid £160 brand new compare to my focus that I paid £300 for. Not to mention my focus will no longer connect to my pc. My Lg plays music so much louder.

Can I say the Samsung screens really only look good at very bright settings put it on low n it looks crap ( In my eyes ) lol.

End of the day 2 good phones but focus not wort a full £140 extra in my case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
Here in Brazil I paid US$ 378.00 for my brand new carrier-free Omnia 7. I think that's a good price, eh ? Anyway, as I said, I don't like LG phones because I have some trauma lol. But maybe LG is making good phones now... ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
Well, not really. £160 = US$ 264.00 and £300 = US$ 494.00 :D

I know that makes no sense converting these units to dollar. But we can compare price to price. :rolleyes:

As I said, I paid R$ 990,00 for the Omnia 7. Thats US$ 378.00 :D

Hello all.

I have a 8GB ADATA, class 6 MicroSD card. It is formatted FAT32 + a part of it (1.5GB) as EXT3 for a2sd.

On the device itself the card seems pretty fast, except for few pauses when recording.

But when I put it on card reader, it takes eternity (around 20 minutes to be precise) for the PC to read it's content. This happens on multiple PCs.

I needed to delete few things (200MB size) from the card while on card reader, it took 2 minutes for the folder to be deleted.

Do you have any advice on what I should do to fix this up?
[Desire General] Meemo23:
Hi there mate i had the exact same problem as you. so the other day i went and picked up a 16gb micro sd for my phone from argos. Anyway i got it i was so excited i started to move my music onto it from my 8gb it was slow as hell it's supposed to be a class 4.

Then i googled why my micro sd is slow and believe me when i say i found a solution. i formatted using this utility it takes awhile but trust me it is so worth it.

type in google sdformatter click the first link and download the software.

Download the software install it.

Then put your micro sd card onto a usb with the adapter, launch the program. when it loads find your drive letter for your card. Make sure it's the right letter. Then click option. For format type you want full (overwrite) and for format size adjustment put it to on. and click ok. Then click format this takes a while do something while you wait. when done be amazed at the speed you copy your data.

It takes me 2 mins to copy a 200mb file :D i am so happy i hope it works for u mate.
