[TouchPad General] newbieandroid:
I am currently running CM9 and the I would like to flash a ICS Boot animation that fits the entire screen vertically instead of landscape. Does anyone have a link to one? Thank you.
[TouchPad General] nomadman:
I like the plain old android boot one. And it's horizontal.

Check this link out, I posted this a long time ago, I think this is what you're looking for, if you still are ;)

[TouchPad General] macaumen:
I will try it out when I get home. Thank you so much. =]
[TouchPad General] newbieandroid:
Thank you for your quick response, but it doesn't fill the whole screen like I had hoped, I noticed Evervolv ICS's has a boot animation that fills the whole screen but I am not sure where I could find his boot animation.

Edit: Looking at yours and the one in Evervolv they appear the same for some reason using it on CM9 doesn't render it full screen like it's suppose to. Kinda upsetting but oh well. Thank you.

Looking at yours the and the one in Evervolv and CM9, yours and Evervolv are at 30 FPS the CM9 is at "720 1280 24p 0 0 part0"
[TouchPad General] :
I haven't really tried to customize my TP on CM9 yet, I figured it's a very early alpha build and I don't wanna do what I did with CM7 (fresh install every time then install and customize everything all over again) lol but I'll try the bootanimation and I'll let you know if I figure anything out

Bootanimation - Bios boot

Hi...

It might not be what you are looking for but this one is the bootanimation I am using.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055789

I have it on my DS7 and started using it on my TP as well. ^_^
[TouchPad General] newbieandroid:
Well I changed the desc file from "768 1024 30p 0 0 part0" to "1024 768 30p 0 0 part0" but it doesn't look nice but it does fill up the whole screen.
[TouchPad General] macaumen:
I think we need to rotate it. It's not in the right orientation.
[TouchPad General] nomadman:
Just open the rom with a archive app and extract the animation zip and copy it to your system/media folder
[TouchPad General] newbieandroid:
That sounds correct, how would I go about changing the orientation? It looks like the boot animation is made up of a bunch of pictures moving at 30 fps.
[TouchPad General] macaumen:
Actually I tried rotating all the pic and that totally kill the animation. Will that be something to do with the two "0" in the txt file? But I saw some other ROM with vertical boot screen has that two "0" unchanged. I guess that's something to do with the kernal
[TouchPad General] :
The naming of the files shouldn't be changed, that would probably crash the whole thing or maybe even cause a boot loop. I also tried rotating the images but that didn't work, and my guess is because of the image sizes, they increase significantly. I'm not a developer in any way but I'm thinking the issue is with how ICS reads the orientation of the animation vs GB (or maybe CM9 vs CM7), because the same exact bootanimation plays vertically on CM7 builds but horizontally on CM9!!!

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

so the reason, or at least one of the reasons, why the boot animation is oriented the way it is in CM9 is because "ro.sf.hwrotation=270" has been disabled in build.prop and I'm sure they had a good reason to do so because if you try to enable it (which I did) the boot animation will be vertical but nothing else will work lol as in the touchscreen won't work which renders the TP useless. So the best solution (if you're not a dev, just like me) is to wait for our hard working devs to fix this issue.

I know there are a lot of talented and knowledgeable people in this forum. Won't somebody please make a better app than TapaTalk? The search function in this app is awful. Search a subject and the every post where the subject is somewhere hidden, comes up. Why did I pay for an app that I have to resort to Google's search engine to do a better job than the app for it's supported forums?

Surely some talented dev, wants to make some serious money?? How often do they update this app anyway?? How many of you guys and gals, do this for free and are constantly working on improving and updating your work?

This app is prime for a take down! The best thing about this app is that makes the forum easier to read on mobile devices. Heck, small businesses get local developers to make a site that will work on smaller screens?

How many thousands of people use this app? I personally don't know anything about the technical side. I do have a good ear for business and I'm hearing ching, ching.

You guys are so tough. I thought I was posting in the right section. I was not asking a question, expecting an answer. My intention was to get the attention of people who are experienced app developers. This was directed for someone who is scratching their head wondering, how can I make some serious money, Koush style!

I was sure, I wouldn't be the only one who felt the same about TapaTalk. That app practically has a monopoly of these forums. Having other people either support or disagree, might give developers an idea, if it's worth their time. I thought the Q & A, was for helping out or asking questions.

I was doing neither. I was stating a need in a question format to engage a developer to think of the possibilities. Quite frankly, I think the your threat of banning is harsh. (Sigh!) You might ban me yet!:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justifi:
OMG, the first rule is search before posting. That's the whole point of trying to get a developer to create a forum tool with a more effective search function! That's it you got me! I'll ban myself from posting here. You all are just too important!

You are in the wrong place. Developers here are not here to make money. They are here because they love what they do. Second tapatalk is not a bad app. I use forum runner myself. An app doest need to keep being updated. If it works then why update it?

Awww...Justifi, you are only allowed to break the rules if you are regular or a mod. You should read the fine print on the back of the 3rd page on the rules. Everyone knows that developers that do all they can to break code and contact rules abide by the rules they make with a 2 strike your out mentality.

It's ok...next time you waiver they will fluff themselves up and give you an infraction, he might even explain why in a non robotic voice.

Zelendel, you have been around for a while..so we both know there are a lot of great minds at work on here ..

not driven by any dallor value..Not debateable..

But the facts of this thread is to open debate that maybe' just maybe...

the main mobile forum readers used at present are not as good as they are cracked to be.

tapatalk and even the xda website search functions are not well designed..

They both lead to complancy by posters both mobile and online..

And there is room for improvement..

If this comes from a $$$ driven developer then so be it.. if he had restated it as a bounty..(monetary incentive) I am sure you wouldn't take offence to this

Back to topic, As an example of a good search function on a forum site is on

Hotcopper.com.au,

its a stock site but the accuracy and narrow searches allowed make it a breeze to find current and past posts on topic, stocks, or posters

This should be compared to what is available on xda to see if there could be improvements made..

Also xda could ask the tapatalk developers ever so nicely to look into beefing up their search function..

As you have suggested one to use, I should have a look at it..

I like the mikmik forum reader but as its just linked into theirs at the moment I don't know if they bigger plans for it..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The same place we were when it was mostly developers on this site. Remember that XDA has been around long before most users even knew what a smartphone was.

As for the bounty. XDA doesnt like bounty threads.

Check my Sig "noobs best friend" for a search plug in for FF or IE browsers.

As for my comment about being here for the money. This is one of the biggest problems as of late. XDA was made to share info and to help others to learn to do things on their own. As of late too many people are trying to make money using XDA. This is not what we are here for nor is it allowed.

There are plenty of how tos floating around and if the current Forum apps dont do what you want then by all means dig in and learn and make one up. Not only will it be a great learning tool. But you may find that it is fun and become a famous developer. This is what we are here for.

I don't think there is anything wrong with making money from what you love to do. Most people strive for that. I wasn't suggesting that someone open up shop in XDA. We all have to learn from somewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fish1552:
I gotta admit z, if I only read up to your first post, I would have had a whole different take on your comments then from this last post.

I have been trying make my own themes, mods and even write some apps. As a n00b to those areas, it is hard to find information at times, and this site *does* help with that. However, I would consider myself not a developer - far from it, but rather just a user. So this site *is* for users too, as they use what others have posted to possibly become devs/themers themselves someday. This site can really be a sort of school for those interested.

So I'm glad you clarified the earlier remark. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah I can seem to come across a bit harsh at times. I dont mean to be. IT is just soo many people come to XDA wanting to be spoon fed and that is not what we are here for. We are here to help people learn and to become developers themselfs. That is what a developers site is. A great place to learn.

So again sorry if I seem a bit harsh at times.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgcruzing:
For those that go deeper and deeper into things...XDA is great..

This age of computing so far has allowed a break away from the locked in

Software systems that we were forced into since really MS took over DOS with windows front ends

I won't even go into apple o/s speak..

Openware/shareware as the apps market now could be termed allows for us the end users direct input

With the developers to push for better products..thus XDA is the medium that brings the two together..

Like it or not at the moment its the worlds premier focal point for this..

So I understand how the purists must be shaking their heads..

Sad but true a lot of talented developers are going back underground, to less known parts of the web to cook

So then it leaves XDA holding the front so to speak..

Its all good and a big thanks to the mods for keeping it semi under control..

Its a jungle out there...

Fish, "Z", and "Dg",

I agree with all of your most recent post. Now that, I've cooled off a bit :thumbup:. It's also known that techies as whole are not famous for great people skills. This forum is and should be a great place to learn. For the sake of encouraging more people to try to become developers or better developers, XDA could practice a "firm" tolerance. The default attitude should be to guide people to where they need to be, without flaming or threats of banishment right out the gate. IMO, it doesn't feel like that. To make mistakes is part of the learning process.

[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
in win7 i can choose between 32k and the new 64k when formatting the card. which should I do which is best for the phone,or should I just format it in recovery?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
What file format? FAT32?

Generally I just leave it at the stock settings, which I believe is 4K allocation unit size. Android runs off a ton of smaller files, I think the larger allocation unit sizing is just going to be inefficient on space. Since this is flash based storage there probably is going to be minimal or no performance differences, I would think.

**edit**

nevermind, I need to read things first. For the SDCARD, which is mostly general storage, small file sizes arent likely a reason to opt for 4k over 32k or 64k, but I still don't know if you'll get any performance gain. Honestly, try both and benchmark them. Let us know if one is for some reason significantly better than the others..
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
I just benchmarked 14 tests between both 32K and 64K allocation unit sizes and 7 different caches between 128 and 4096. The sweet spot for me was 64K when formatting the card and setting sd-booster to 4096. my card is a 32gb lexar sdhc class 10. I get roughly 9.1 for write and 22.6 for read.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What did you use to format? When I put my 64gb sdxc card I got a message saying the card is damaged would you like to format it and I said why yes, I would like to format it and it just did it without any options. All I know is that it formatted as FAT32. Can I check in the phone what allocation unit size it is at?
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
no you cant check on the device. the options are in windows7 in the format screen

sent from tapatalk on my rezound
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, thanks. I formatted in the phone since I figured it would format it properly. I saw that it was FAT32 when I was putting some music on it but never check anything further than that.

Antutu Benchmark results (my card is class 6):

Write - (5.0 MB/s) 50

Read - (5.7 MB/s) 57

Internal card results:

Write - (7.0 MB/s) 70

Read - (6.4 MB/s) 64

I have no idea if that's good or bad. :o My first smartphone so I've never had to pay that much attention to this stuff.

Were your speeds MB/s also? If so, maybe I'll try reformatting, although mine is class 6 so I don't know how much to allow for that.

I also saw something about Android OS supposedly not supporting more than 32gb but mine is 64gb. Would that be a factor?
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
Allocation size should be based on "average file size"

If apps, keep it smaller, or the normal 4k. Music/movies, you can up it a few notches.

Benchmarking this with benchmark programs are useless as they have preset small files they use to bench the speeds. Being flash memory, allocation size will also most likely put forth no noticeable speed difference on already speed limited SD cards. if seektime mattered, allocation would also. in our cases allocation only has the effect of potentially wasting space.

just use the smallest allocation size for the most use of the space on your card. you select higher allocation unit sizes, all the teeny files android and apps use will take up the amount of space equal to the allocation size, regardless of its true size (4k allocation means ALL files take a minimum of 4K, or in increments of 4K. therefore files <4k take 4k, 4+ to 8 take 8k, 8+ to 12 take 12k.)

I know many people have this problem. But after I installed Swiftdroid 2.0 I was thinking of how smooth this works compared to stock 1.6

Then I ran into a wall. The wifi just refuses to connect. Its just a loop that goes:

Connecting...

(i think it does connect but then)

authenticating...

Disconnected

Scanning.. and start all over.

Now, as I was gathering some information I ran into an app named "wifi fixer" which i didnt have much hope in the app in fixing my problem. But this did help. Im sure now its an Authenticating error (yay for me probably sucking at spelling that)

After the app attempts to fix it just notifies me with "Authenticating error" and tries to fix the wifi by turning it on and off.

Does any one have ANY suggestions i could try? I did google this and go pretty much everywhere. I really would be sad if i would have to give up 2.3.7 because its so damn good. I haven't actually tried to do anything which leads to another problem. BEFORE I flashed CM 7 i did a few tests. One of them was Neocore (app found in market) by Qualcomm (LG has a qualcomm processor)

BUT as i opened the .apk and installed it when i tried to run it:

"Your device does not support qualcomm acelerated graphics" or something quite simillar to that. Before it worked fine. Suggestions? Is this a problem with the app compaitibilty with this krenel or something or is it an actual problem which will cause more trouble with other apps?

ty if you will attempt to help me
