[HTC Rezound] Zandle:
Hey all, I have trolled these forums for some time and just unlocked, rooted and rom'ed my rezound a few days ago. I just thought I would post to say that I have tried both the blue rings as well as the blue hall animation. I am running RezROM ICS v1.2, the blue rings didn't work at all until I modified the desc file and then it was a bit choppy the first time and then after that every time I shut down and booted as well as when I just restarted it seemed to load the first image and then hang until it went to the lock screen.

With the blue hall animation it worked perfectly with out altering the desc for the first boot, then on subsequent boots the phone would have the htc animation for longer than normal and then go right to the lock screen.

Almost forgot to mention that I remained the file to bootanimation.zip and placed it in /system/media.
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
see if this works... http://db.tt/5ySMTQSg

it's a little sloppy but see if this is kinda the effect ur lookn for......
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
here's another simple one......
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Yea more or less. I did test sound and it's not working at all. It actually kills the boot animation entirely.
[HTC Rezound] Zandle:
Hey thanks for the reply... I tried the animation you linked and it went through the htc on white screen and sat there a bit longer than when it has the normal stock animation and then it seemed to either load a single image from the red partical animation and then hang until it brings up the lock screen or it is just going through the animation faster than my eye can detect. But it does the same thing on full shut down and boot as well as on restart.... I am going to edit the desc file and see what happens.
[HTC Rezound] Noodbadin:
Would it be possible to make a boot animation of the crystal opening from Final Fantasy XI?
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
I am new to this, do I have to be running a custom rom to use one of these (the dice or bluehall)>

If not, where do I download them too?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Sorry that one was a tester,try one of the newer one from afew pages back see ifit plays,
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
No you need root though

edit: try this bluhall, ifur rooted of course......ifit works i'll fix the dice foru to try................
[HTC Rezound] Zandle:
So I think that I have figured out how to get at least some of these to work with RezROM ICS v1.2 rom. Instead of using the complete files from the previous links, I took the stock bootanimation.zip file, extracted it and deleted the beats folder, as well as the .jpg files in the VZW folder, and then placed the .jpg files from the animation that I wanted in the VZW folder. I then went into the desc file and deleted the "p 1 15 beats" portion. Then all I had to do is re-zip it as a stored file, name it bootanimation.zip and put it in \system\media. I tried this with the blue hall and the blue rings animation and it worked with both when I shut down as well as when just restarting.

I should also mention that with this method the animation only seemed to cycle once and then hung on the last image in the sequence until the lock screen appeared. To get around this I just duplicated the .jpg files until I had around 240. I am not sure if that amount is needed but it seems to work for me.

One last note: it does seem like for my phone with this rom the bootanimation.zip file does need to have a folder with a file to load before the actual animation. I just used the HTC Quietly Brilliant one from the stock. Not sure if that can be changed to a different file or not but I did note that it is a .png file instead of a .jpg file, again not sure if that makes a difference as they are both image files.

Hope this helps at least someone. And I might try it out with some of the other animations tomorrow, but for tonight I need sleep.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Try the stock format. I posted it in this thread already. No matter what animation I'm using it works. I also remove hTC_bootanimation.zip
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
Hello everyone :)

I need some assitance with getting a certain boot animation and sound to work with it.

Over on TeamBAMF's site, I found this sweet MW3 boot animation that could be flashed using recovery and it worked flawlessly. I also flashed the sound file as well and it worked too.

I've been trying to get another bootanimation (Droid Optimus Prime, which I think was posted here on the first few pages) to work with its own sound by replacing the two files of the MW3 one. They are located in system/customize/resource and are called Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip and Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3. Whenever I replace those two files with the animation and sound of the Optimus one, I just get the HTC splash with, a flicker of black, back to the splash, and then a black screen until the phone powers up. I've read through the thread and have tried renaming the desc.txt but still nothing. I am running Ineffabilis v1.0. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

The links to the two animations are: (I'm not allowed to post any links yet xD)

But if you type "black ops boot animation htc rezound" into Google it will be the first page

and if you search "DROID Prime RootzWiki" it will be the first one as well

Thanks again and sorry for any inconvenience I may cause for not putting up links lol
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
you have to edit the default xml to get sound,which is what that flashable sound zip did , so you should be able to just rename new mp3 the same as the one in the zip.i dont know how to maka flashable zip for the rezound so try this and rename the mp3 to thunder_3sec or whatever the original was and see if it plays....maybe someone smarter than i can make a zip to do the edits...btw don't flash these just replace and rename

primeboot.. http://db.tt/CY3Icyy0
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Flashable zip??? Here's a base empty one.
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
Thanks again for the help :)

I renamed the sound and animation and the animation worked! :)

Unfortunately there was no sound : / Hopefully someone will be able to make the flashable zip for the sound and it will get it working?

But I appreciate the help and I'm glad the animation is going :)
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
try this one, make sure the trans.mp3 is named Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec, i changed the txt file might work..

edit: make sure you've flashed the bootsound zip first! ifu didn't before flash that then try the first one again!

edit,edit:make sure ur unzipping the mp3 before replacing and renamimg...
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
I tried that one and still had animation but no sound again. I flashed the sound again and when I rebooted I didn't hear the the MW3 sound either. I replaced the MW3 sound after flash and still nothing :/
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
alright this should work...download both these files,might havto do it via pc or it'll just open files up on ur phone..

Edit ..........
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
I downloaded both, and put each where you specified but when I typed in the command I got many errors and heard no sound at the end :(

I found a thread which had similar instructions except they had an extra input sh. I tried it but still got an error.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The no root:shell error is fine. The other one about read-only file system isn't. For that just do adb remount or from a terminal emulator busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
Okay so I got it to work! :) I took a look at the xml file from the flashable sound zip and found that there was a part that says audiostart = VZW, so I just went back to the bootanimation zip and change the folder to VZW and edited the desc.txt to VZW. I rebooted and low and behold the sound played! : ) Thanks to Rom Addict and Mr Smith for their help! :D
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
I think that flashable is what did it, just needed to edit txt like you did

hit thanks ...it's free!
[HTC Rezound] Rom-Addict:
Here's a newer globe boot seems cleaner .. http://db.tt/Y9kYWfx1

edit: here's one that is flashable(cust/reso) also MrSmith317's txt formula,if it works i'll try and fix any that are wanted.

thanks to MrSmith317 for his empty flashable!!!!

hit thanks ...it's free!
[Milestone XT720 General] mayurjumani:
I recently installed root explorer in my milestone xt720 (dexter's froyo) and i found out that there is more than 100 MB free memory in cache folder, while on the other hand i am running low on memory for my apps and RAM. I barely get 30 MB free with no apps running in the background. This makes my phone really slow even when its overclocked to 1Ghz. So is there any way i can use some of the free memory from cache as RAM or as data for downloading apps? Thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 General] fjfalcon:
Nope. Just nope.
[Milestone XT720 General] thejaycan:
Yup, FJFalcon is right. The idea sounds pretty good. If you could use the internal flash as a swap it seems like it would be much faster than the sd-card swap. But there are too many problems with this idea. First, it that would involve some sort of weird partitioning of the internal memory (which Motorola prevents on this phone -- locked bootloader). Second, on most ROMs with a clean install you get something around 70MB free space on /system and around 130MB free space on /data. So you're really looking at 200MB at most, and that's assuming you don't install any of your apps on the internal space and no cache for any programs. You COULD throw all the apps on the sd-card (Link2SD), but you'd get a performance hit there and then with no cache...ouch. It would get pretty complicated pretty quickly. So I think that's the long answer for FJFalcon's reply.
[Milestone XT720 General] mayurjumani:
thanks alot fjfalcon and thejaycan

but as far as ive seen this phone never uses upto 100 MB cache and, using this phone for so long, it gets frustrating seeing all that space wasted!

i wish something could have been done.
[General Questions and Answers] stevemac32:
Hi Guys hope you can help with a few technical issues

Just had my screen replaced (just the outer glass cost £60) and the guy said that they had to replace the sensor as well (the one at the top of the screen that controls the backlight for the home, menu… buttons).

Now the back light for the buttons does not work so I went back to the shop and they said that it wouldn’t due to the screen they used!!!!!!!

I tried to remain calm and said that that should have been explained before the work was carried out now he wants a further £90 to take a screen off another phone and put it on mine to make the sensor work…..

Does this mean he used a substandard screen and the sensor should work no matter what screen they used where do I stand legally?

thanks

Steve

does anyone know how to change the workdays in the SGN ?

because here we have different workdays that the default.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barkotron:
Did you buy yours from your region? I would have thought e.g. Middle Eastern versions should have that as part of the localisation work. If not you should raise it with Samsung, seems like quite an oversight to me.

If you bought a European one but localised versions do have the different workdays, maybe try flashing e.g. the UAE ROM mentioned here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakeera:
thanks barkotorn,

yeah i've bought it from my region, and it has the latest Gingerbread N7000JPKK2 United Arab Emirates.

what do you think ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barkotron:
Well, to my mind this is something Samsung should have done when localising the ROM.

However, I do notice that in the S-Planner you can change the first day of the week from Monday to Sunday: it doesn't appear to change e.g. the days you can set alarms, but it might at least give you a better view of your work week in the planner.

If you need anything more deep-seated than that, then it might be worth getting a few people in your area to contact Samsung and kick up a bit of a fuss about it though - companies don't generally like to be seen as culturally-insensitive these days (well, in Europe they don't, I'm hoping Samsung would act the same). A polite protest suggesting that "Samsung is ignoring the needs of Middle Eastern customers" might have the desired effect. I can't imagine many companies want to have UAE customers annoyed at them, it's one of the few places on the planet that has any money left ;).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakeera:
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL,,, you just made me laugh.

i did the change the S-Planner thing, but no changes to the alarm settings.

I want to know which firmware i have to download it from samfirmware , but At the about menu my info are

(Build number : HMJ37 P7500JPKG6 )

(BASEBAND version : P7500 XXKG7 )

Ad the one on samfirmware is

(P7500JPKG6 ) so is this the same I ave as it doesn't have the (HMJ37 ) in the begining ?

Thanks And Regards .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishken:
Build Number

Your build number is the firmware number. On your tablet it will usually be abbreviated, so yes that build number is the firmware number and that is what you should look for. May I add, you may want to see if there is an update you can download off XDA. I may be wrong, but I think that is an older firmware version.
[Android Apps and Games] Renegade_Rulez:
Hi Guys!

I created a new free game for Android devices and released it on the market!

!! NOT ON THE MARKET ANYMORE THANKS GOOGLE !!

!! THE GAME WILL COME BACK WITH ENHANCED GRAPHICS LATER !!

!! IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED THAT IS !!

It contains a FPS counter you can enable it in the menu (click small ball with Red M).

So if someone can tell me what FPS they get in the game itself that would be very appreciated!

I hope you all like it, any comments or suggestions please post in this thread!

Thanks a lot for looking.

Some game info below.

In Galaxy Bouncer you need to collect golden tiles to get back home to planet Earth! (Control the game via Tilting your phone Left/Right/Up and Down (Similar to Air Penguin), Hold your phone in a 45 Degree angle to stay still, tilting it lower will move you forward, tilting it higher will move you backwards, Phone flat is fastest forward, phone at 90 degrees UP is fastest backwards) To advance to the next planet you will need 25 Green Stars. These Green Stars you can get by completing each levels with as few jumps as you can, less jumps means higher Star Count (3 Max), Each level also has a hidden Green Star (Some of them need to be activated by turning all Red buttons to Green).

After the 10 levels per Planet are completed you can do a bonus round, in this bonus round you need to turn on all Bonus switches, if you are successful then you get 3 Extra Green Stars.

Version 1.0 contains 33 levels and every week I will add 11 levels until the Earth is reachable!

Just providing feedback based on the screenshots I saw: I feel the graphics could be sharper. Did you "rasterize" your images way too early? Did you use vector graphics when designing? Or at least -- could you use images of larger dimension and resolutions?

So I have a Galaxy S2.. I recently got an extended battery and its been great.. but the last 2 days its gone down really quickly.. looking at the battery usage.. twitter, some soccer scores app and handcent have taken up like 80% of the battery life and i've not used twitter and the soccer app once. And I sent maybe 5 texts on handcent.

I checked the time its been in used and it said like 50 mins on each.. but I've not used them at all so how can that be? I'm on Android 2.3.4
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccawire:
There are a few things you can try, you may even have tried some already

1. Disable Auto Sync - Menu - Settings - Accounts and Sync - Auto-sync > Uncheck

2. Install Juicedefender - some options can be very good at saving battery

3. Try alternative apps to the ones you use, I use handcent but twitter was causing some battery drain

4. Maybe Root your phone and flash a custom ROM and/or Kernel - there are plenty to choose from with great guides on xda. VillainROM and CheckROM are my two favourites for battery life

5. do a search on xda as there are plenty of other posts with tips see below as an example
