[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
trying now...just replaced the stock one and rebooting.... never saw anything on reboot BUT when I powered off and powered on, it played just fine...

edit: tested again for good measure and if I actually power off, the animation plays fine when I power on, but if I just do a reboot, the only thing I ever see is the splash screen...
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Same thing here. Something happens with those other files whenever you reboot. Powering down allows that actual boot animation to work. Don't have any clue why that works, but it seems to. Rom-Addict somehow knows how to get them to work right. :D

Edit: Yeah, it's the same thing for me. Just rebooting causes the splash screen. Full power down causes the boot animation. I still get that splash screen occasionally even with a full power down. I don't get it. I'm not complaining, though, because it seems to work for the most part. I even made a custom down animation. That one was easy. You just replace the one that it is in the system/customize/resource folder.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
it's almost like it doesn't re-assess those files or even attempt to reload them on reboot...kind of leaves me at a loss

edit: even "hot restart" works fine with the animation...just not a regular "Restart"

Care to share the wealth on the shutdown? I hate that white htc junk :D
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I edited the crt shut down animation from an earlier post. It says "Goodbye" then "WasabiWa83" then has the crt shut down then off. I can make you one if you'd like. Just let me know what you want it to say if you want that. I can't do it tonight, but I should have some time tomorrow. It's not crazy smooth, but it's a hell of a lot better than the crap that we have to deal with now. :D

I can't post all of the CRT shut down since I can only upload 4, but you get the idea. Credit for the CRT shut down goes to flexor224.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
don't sweat it for now then, I'll try to delve into it tomorrow when I'm more awake, maybe Rom-Addict can help with the bootanimation stuffs as well
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I hope so. He's pretty damn good at it. He customized that one I gave you a little more with my name and stuff. Just PM me if you want me to throw you a shut down animation together tomorrow. It shouldn't take but a second since I already have it prepped on my computer. You can at least have something to play with to make it what you want.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I'll hit you up tomorrow then, off to bed for me :P
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
gimme abit i'll see if ican help

ifur ona stock rom or bamf try this in system/customize/resource

you may try removing HTC_bootanimation

lemme kno what it does,don't hava rezound to try
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
If I power down completely then turn it on that animation IMMEDIATELY plays and I never even see a white htc splash, however it only plays for maybe 2-4 seconds tops and then it just stops mid animation.

If I reboot I see the splash screen for awhile and then the green circle came up, but never actually animated, only like it loaded just 1 frame
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Weird ...try replacing both HTC & VZW bootanimation with the one I posted, make sure one's named HTC_bootanimation & other Vigor _VZW_bootanimation
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I'll give that a shot when I get home from dinner
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
Wasabi thats looks good. Can you make one up for me? Just change your nick to RIFRAF (my regular nick) Also where the file goes.. :D:D
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
So, no change at all, same thing happens.

Ultimately the hTC_bootanimation.zip is doing nothing. The default.xml doesn't allow it to even be launched which is why the results never change with or without that file in the mix from what I can tell. The only thing that comes into play is the Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip and that seems to be where the fps/stuck image issue is coming from however, on a REBOOT, no matter what I change I rarely ever even see the bootanimation play at all. Powering off/on is another story though, if I power off/on I'll generally see the animations but they end up either looping a bunch because they play through really quickly or it plays through once and then gets stuck(like that most recent one you asked me to try did). A good example of one that works on a power off/on but loops a lot is this one. If you've got some time and want to setup a Teamspeak or chat I'd be happy to help nail this down, just shoot me a pm!
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
This has me pulling my hair out also.... I have tried everything mentioned above and nothing happens. All i get is the white screen with the green htc on it. I have searched all through the files on the phone and cant even find one with vigor in it. Im on ineffabilis rom btw. I might try moving all the parts into the htc_bootanimation folder and see what that does for me.. THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY........
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Yep, renamed ALL other bootanims just insure, placed new in system/media and renamed to htc_bootanimation, HTC_bootanimation, and just plain ol bootanimation and it does nothing... Talk about frustrating!
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
on your rom it's system/media and shoulb be named bootanimation, no htc.

try that
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Tried that too, still just the white screen with green htc on it...blah! There has to be something simple that im missing, but ive never had problems changing boot anims on my incredible 2, or even my old droid 2 global.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
alright try this delete bootanimation in cust/resource

then add this in sys/media(set permisions of course)http://db.tt/LNzx3CYI

here's diff one......
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Still nothing. Just the white screen w/ green htc on it. When it boots up, the white screen comes up and stays on for a few seconds, then about a 1/2 sec. flash of black and right back to the white screen. Its as if there isn't a bootanimation at all..?? What might be the next step? Also, thanks TONS for trying to help out here!! I really appreciate it.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
allright lets do some thing simple..gimme asec

cust/res tell me what u see if any thing
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
No change at all.... still get the white screen/green htc, a quick flash of black, then back to the white screen/green htc... I might just reflash the rom and try from there, I dont what else to do at this point. I will mess around with it some more today and let ya know how it turns out. Thanks greatly for your help though..!!
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
That file was exactly the same as original just put a mark on all images weird it didn't show
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Just reflashed ineffabillis and still not boot animation. Does this rom even have one with it? I still just got the white screen with green htc, a very quick flash, then back to the white screen. Am i missing something?

EDIT: I am going to flash bamf real quick and see if it loads up a boot animation. If not, im thinking im might have to ruu back to stock and start all over again. I dont know what else it might be at this point. I will update ya with the bamf results.

EDIT2: With bamf, i get the white/green htc screen, a quick flash, then back to the white/htc screen, then I get the stock vzw boot animation.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
replace the two in cust/res with these 2 and tell what happens

[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:

[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Believe me, ive tried it....every which way possible! I have also tried it through rom-manager and still no go....:confused:
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
I was messing the folders up before that's why u would see black,

What was the last file you tried?
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Nope... Same ol same ol. White screen, quick flash, white screen....:confused:

Just a thought, is there a way to change the boot logo? Cause im not sure, but im thinking that what im getting is the boot logo, then a 1/2 second flash to black, then back to the boot logo. It is a solid white screen with the green htc in the middle of it. Absolutely no animation or anything, just a quick flash midway through..
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
yea i messed those up ,left a .db file in those so it won't play.sry

what file program aru using?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
HTC screen

quick flash

HTC screen

Frozen particle boot ani(3-4 sec)

Very slow animation after that

On a side note, I ended up in a boot loop, so remedying that issue now.

Nothing to do with the boot animation, I'm sure.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Rom Toolbox Pro. Im using the root browser within rtpro.

I have also tried with astro, but it wont set the r/w permissions so that I can alter system files. I have used rtpro a million times w/o trouble, so Im not thinking that is the culprit...

And another thing, if I just do a hot reboot, the animation will play. But when I do a full restart, just those annoying white screens and the now really annoying green letters...lol
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
mind trying this one/.?..http://db.tt/KbCqtr0O

i use root explorer astro wont work anymore
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
So is there a way to change the boot screen? I would like to try to change that and see if that is what is causing my problems. To me, it looks like instead of the boot animation, it is showing the boot screen, then a quick flash and then back to the boot screen. Its like it by-passing the boot animation all together. What are your thoughts? Oh and by the way, THANKS again!
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Is the image static?
[HTC Rezound] justreboot:
Did you guys match permissions?

---------

justreboot
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Yes, Just the white screen with the green htc in the middle, absolutely no animation at all.

Yes, tried setting permissions several times all different ways. (and yes, even the way it should be with the right permissions) Thats why i want to try to change my boot screen and see if it changes where it is supposed to animate after the initial boot screen... If any of that makes any sense at all...lol
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
if ur talking about the splash screen i asked and someone said it's not possible without s-off....

try putting these back in...

hTC_bootanimation cust/res

bootanimation system/media
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Much better. On normal restart, got the white HTC screen, then boot animation. Towards the end of the animation, it froze for about 5 seconds then to the lock screen. On a power off/on cycle, the boot animation started immediately, seemed to go faster, then lock screen. No white HTC screen.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
A little progress... Placed new files and rebooted. I got white screen, quick flash, then white screen, then about 7—8 sec of boot animation. Rebooted again, and animation was gone......
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Those were from your rom so it must be a permission problem, not copying right
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
So what are the exact permissions and I will try that.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Uneed a file manager with root privileges like root explore so ucan write to system
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
I set permissions right, and still not boot animation. But like i said before, if I do a hot reboot, then then animation plays, and also, i just went into hibernation, and upon waking up from that, it plays right... So I have no ideas as to what is causing it to not play on a full reboot.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Thats odd...... I powered down, waited about 30 sec. and powered back up. It played the bootanimation for about 8 sec and then went to my lock screen. No htc splash screen at all,(woot woot). Then I realized it was on fast boot under power settings. I disabled fast boot, powered back down, let it set for about 30 sec., powered back up and there is that lovely white screen with htc on it again. It didnt even flash this time, but stayed solid until the lock screen.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This may have nothing to do with the problem people are having.

I was also having a problem getting my boot animation to work until I remembered I could not use 7zip to put the new images in the original zip file. Switched to WinZip and it worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
If it were a problem with it not playing at all, i might be moved to agree with you, but It will play for different circumstances. ie. fastboot, hibernate, and hot reboot. Just not from a full re-boot, or a power down cycle. Thanks for the info though. Im beating my head against a wall with this...lol:D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
I removed the hTC_bootanimation.zip from my ROM since it is not needed and my Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip runs everytime. I do agree that it runs different times for each type of boot but it does run for a reasonable period of time getting the full experience of the animation.

Only things I can think of is that it is something to do with the txt file or to few images. I have 1 folder with 60 images and this is the txt file

720 1280 20

p 1 1 android
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I'll have to try removing the HTC animation. By the way I understand it this is the breakdown of the desc.txt

720 1280 (resolution) 20 (FPS)

p 1 (times to play 0 for infinite) 1 (how many seconds to pause) android (the folder to look for animation files)

So the above lines will play 20 FPS in 720 x 1280 1 time with a 1 second pause after.

Edit: Just removed hTC_bootanimation.zip and it's still only showing me the white HTC image. I think that image is static....anyone know where it is so I can kill it?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
That is the splash screen which with s-on we can not change. It is not in any of the zip files.

Here is the best description I have found

512 256 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

'512' is the width of the animation

'256' is the height of the animation

'30' is the desired fps of the animation

'p' defines a animation part

'1' how many times this animation part loops

'0' defines a pause (max 10)

'part0' is the folder name where the animation images are

'p' defines another animation part

'0' defines that it loops forever (until android starts)

'0' defines a pause

I noticed that even if you have 1 in the first it will repeat until android boots if there is only one folder. You could try 0 0

I should also add that the image size in the txt file is not actually the size of the scree, it is the size of the images in the zip folder. For example, I use my Incredible boot animation in the Rezound which is 480 800 so my images are smaller but they center in the screen. There are 2 folders in mine. The first is a single image that stays up for 15 seconds or so and then I loop the main folder over and over. So my txt looks like this

480 800 15

p 1 45 android

p 0 0 VZW

[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
I did a nand restore last night and started getting 401 or 404 permission errors on all my mail accounts. I would not let me log into any of them. So with that, I installed rez's rom this morning. It sucked the life out of my battery not once, but twice. I had to recharge once at 11am and then again at 330pm. With that, im going to ruu back to stock and start all over. Once back on inefibillis, I will let ya know on the animation. Thanks again for all your help.. And good luck mr.smith!! My head finally got sore from beating it against the desk with this issue...lol I will check back after I restore stock.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Last one got it. Now I just need to figure out why other people's wont work..
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Ifu have them we can mess with em through pm's ifu wanta narrow down process

or ifu have any requests
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Ok, I'm going to try to edit a few and see if I can get them. If not, I'll PM you. Thanks for the help man. I'm used to being the on the other end of these conversations haha.

Update: Ok, I've tried several new bootscreens and one existing one (from ROM Toolbox) and the secret seems to be naming the internal directories beats and VZW. So my desc.txt looks like this:

720 1280 15

p 1 15 beats

p 1 90 VZW

No matter what I put in the beats or VZW directories it just works. Guess somewhere in the HTC code they have this hard set?? So the question now becomes why does it work on the custom ROMs? I can't believe they're all compiled from source. But if they are, then where is the change that lets custom boot animations work?
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
here's the razr boot i made up don't know if it works, i had em work without the folder setup up stock but i do have better luck the stock way....

So recently I have have been looking at these launchers. I mainly use go launcher, but I want to hear community feedback on each. I need a launcher that is very light on RAM (G2X has 512 mb ram, 1/4 is dedicated to gpu). So which one do you use and why?

Sent from my G2X
[General Questions and Answers] SP1996AC:
Just like you I'm using Go Launcher because of its smoothness and because you can customize it as you wish. I've also used ADW and LauncherPro before but in my opinion Go Launcher feels smoother. I don't really know about how much RAM they use. Guess I didn't really paid a lot of attention to it :D
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
I use go because adw crashes every time I type a text on my phone. But used to use adw on my old phone.

I tested ram use and on my 512mb phone adw used about five mb more ram than go but both are as smooth as each other.

You didn't mention it but if your choice is purely ram use based zeam launcher might be worth a look as it used an average ten mb less ram than adw or go and is still pretty customisable.
