Great job...

[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Hey Paul, I too like your bootanimations, and actually last night messed around with different tutorials on the web, and was able to create my own from a video I shot of my boy's football game. Its awesome, and I got a question, what's the recommended frames per second for part 0 part 1 and part 2? thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
You can't change the fps for each part just an over all fps, which you set in the desc.txt. You can set it to pretty much any fps you want. If one part is too fast or too slow you can just add or remove frames which will change the speed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:

I'm using this tool, and yea my bad. I meant to ask how many loops per folder. I left them at 1. Forgot to mention that my animation looks like it skips every other frame or two.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
Usually part0 is set to 1, so it plays one time and moves on to part1. part1 usually is set to 0 which will loop that part until the phone boots. All depends on what you want. You can just use one part, part0 and loop that over and over too. As for the skipping maybe when you converted the video to images it didn't grab every frame of the video. Or you might have the images too high of quality which could cause it to skip.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Ok the video was shot in 1080. Gonna bring down the video resolution to 720? And can I split my images to part 0 and part 1 only? Got kids football practice right now, but I will try when I get home thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
480 or 320 would be better. Having the images around 50kb is best. You can use part0 part1 part2 etc. it doesn't matter. If you're just using one video and just want to loop that just use one part folder, part0 and set loop to 0.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Making a lot more sense. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks man.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
This might be a little off topic, but I did not think that resurrection of an old thread, or creating a new one would be better than posting the question here.

here we go:

Did anyone figure out a way to extend the time for which the PowerOn.wav file plays? 4seconds is ok, but it would be nice for it to play for as long as the boot animation was on
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
I'm not sure if or what the limit is for how long a boot sound can be as I've never messed with sound stuff. But one thing you can try is using some audio software and loop the sound in the wav or slowing the tempo or just manipulating it in someway. Then just save it and put it back on the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
The problem is that the phone only reads the file for about 4 seconds, it might need some file to be modified, just not sure which file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
Not sure. Perhaps someone else can help with that. You could speed up the boot animation by changing the frame rate in the sanim.zip. That would make it match up or at least closer together.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
Nice, I opened sanin.zip

now I see :

-desc.txt:

480 800 40

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

and 2 folders with jpg files ....

To speed up frame rate which one do I modify? by how much do you recommend?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
You change the 40. You'll have to play around with it and try to get it to your liking. Try 50 if that's too fast slow it down or still to slow then go up higher. Make sure when you put the desc.txt back in the zip in needs to be set to store/no compression. Otherwise the boot animation will just be a black screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
I have noticed this as well. I'm using the transformers boot (which lasts for 17 seconds), but the audio file I took from zedge (a transformer from the movie transforming) should be 17 seconds as well, but lasts about 12 seconds.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
Sorry it took me a while to report if it worked. How do I set it to store/no compression?

I copied the zip file to my computer, edited the 40 to 50, and replaced the file in the .zip file (copy and paste), copied it to my sd card, used the root explorer tool to move it back to system, but I see no option to set it to store/no compression, and my boot animation is black as you mentioned.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
I'm not sure what compression/zip program you are using but all the folders and files cannot be compressed. I used winrar and when I add the desc.txt back into the zip it asks me what compression I want to set it at and I choose store. If you don't have that option just take all the files and make a new zip and make sure it's set to store.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yahikoy:
Not sure if this is the correct subforum for it, but I just flashed the custom rom Virtuous 0.1.1, I did factory wipe, clear cache, clear dalvik before flashing.

My problem is that the PDF viewer doesn't allow me to use HTC scribe to highlight or write in the PDF viewer. I think it may be corrupted or something. Scribe works in Scribble (the screenshot program that lets you write on) and Notes.

Highlighting doesn't work at all with the pen. Attempting to write only shows a dot for when the pen first touched the screen. It doesn't continue to draw a line.

Thank you in advance.

FIXED:

1.used "ROM Toolbox" free app (or whichever you prefer)

2. use root browser to navigate to and open /system/build.prop to edit

3. bottom of the file change "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150" to "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=85"

4. save and reboot your HTC Flyer, it should work now.

Thanks to TSGM

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
First I made the mistake of using the HTC method for unlocking my bootloader, I didnt come here 1st & getting my phone downgraded afterwards proved to be a difficult task, as I tried the simplest method many times, and I just couldnt get it to flash via hboot. But I finally got a stock rooted 2.2.1 rom on here, & I followed the Ultimate s-off guide, and everything appeared to go well, but s-on remained. Terminal said it applied everything without any errors. I have heard that it is difficult to remove the **UNLOCKED** and get s-off after doing things the HTC way. I am pretty good at following guides, but I am stuck at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. As I said the bootloader is unlocked and I have a 2.2.1 rooted rom on here. Whats the best way to go from here? Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who is having this problem but I've searched around and can't fix the issue. I recently had CM9 but went back to complete stock, on 2.3.4 (which isn't up to date). When I go to update from the settings menu, I get a communication failed text box, which then in turn makes me wait 24 hours before checking again.

I've done multiple battery pulls and stopped the running process for the software update to no avail. Can anyone help me with this?

Remember, I'm on the stock AT&T rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
Are you rooted? And why update to 2.3.6 uckk6? Its got a few really bad bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:

Thank you for your helpful information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
I think others were having trouble updating as well... I'd suggest flashing a custom rom, or if you want to stay with stock, using Entropy's Back to Stock packages (I'm not going to link that for you cause I'm too lazy and you should be able to find it.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
Might give it a try. Trouble is, not having a rooted phone and going back to stock means I lose all applications and data with them. Eh. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Download stock rom (if u can get a tar file it most likely has everything u need, do some Googling just make sure its for the i777). Get mobile odin pro. Use mobile odin pro to flash the .tar and it gives u the option to root right there within the app before u flash. Profit. Just giving my two cents and what worked for me . If u do this though and don't remove any system apps it should allow u to ota upgrade. Haven't tried myself but that sounds like it'd work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
I already did this except for rooting about 3 weeks ago. From what you're saying, if I root my phone from its current state I should be able to receive OTA updates? I'm willing to root just to see but I don't see how that would fix the "communication failed" errors for updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
FYI I have a rooted stock ROM, and I'm having difficulty doing an OTA update also. Different error (mine is "interrupted" after reboot). I posted it here because it seemed more related to that thread and I had other Q's about the process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
You guys are in panic mode, wait till we actually get an ANNOUNCEMENT for ICS from AT&T, then try to go back to stock using the methods we have.

No reason to do so right now, since AT&T will probably take a long time before pushing it.

We have a possible sources dropping on March 15th from i9100 but you will be required to be rooted to flash the possible ICS Roms that will be available after that date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
I don't think you understand. First of all, in no way am I in panic mode. Secondly, my phone is a few updates behind since I just recently brought it back to stock from CM7. All I am trying to do is bring it up to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GJMX:

You might want to check the (Guide)How to flash custom binaries.....on this forum. Creepycrawly has posted a reply towards the end of the thread that might be helpful. Believe its on one of the last two pages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
As has been said many times in other threads, even on a stock ROM if you have rooted and removed even one item of bloatware or made any other mods you will not be able to download an OTA update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
I have not rooted my phone. And as I said earlier, I restored my phone to complete stock meaning no bloatware has been removed. I'm still at a loss for what to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You were on CM9 (in a later post you say CM7), but you went back to stock UCKH7. Now you are unable to update over the air to UCKK6. You are mainly interested in having the phone ready to receive the update over the air to ICS, whenever that occurs. You have not rooted the phone since you returned to stock but you are willing to try root if it will help the update happen. You were also concerned about loosing apps and their data since you are not rooted. I recapped all this because on stock you should be able to run the update. To help you solve the problem, need to know all the facts.

I've done the following, although it has been several months ago, about a week or two after UCKK6 first released. From running a custom rom, I did a wipe data/factory reset, flashed stock UCKH7 plus root, and ran the over the air update to UCKK6 successfully, retaining root on UCKK6. I just did this to test it out, so after completing the test, I used my nandroid backup to return to the custom rom I was on.

I would assume that you did a wipe data/factory reset either before or after you flashed back to stock? If not, there could be traces left over that could interfere with the update process. I'm not sure if there could be traces left even after a wipe data/factory reset, but the Cyanogen Mod file structure is so very different than stock that it wouldn't be inconceivable.

Next, I would wonder how soon after flashing back to stock you tried to run the update, and if not immediately, what action could have possibly placed or removed files that would intefere with the process.

I'm pretty certain that if you were to wipe data/factory reset with a format and then flash stock again, and then try to run the update immediately, it would succeed. So there has to be something in the file system preventing it. You may not find it easy to correct that something manually. You may just have to do a wipe data/factory reset, and maybe a format, and then start all over with a fresh install.

Of course, that is the reason for rooting first. Root, then back up everything with titanium backup, SMS backup, export contacts, etc. and save all that to your computer. Then you can restore stuff after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
Thanks creepy,

I'm in the process of doing what you said. I rooted my phone, backed up everything I thought needs to be backed up and flashed the stock rom (2.3.4 kernel version 2.6.35.7 baseband version I777UCKH7). I still need to do a factory format in order to see if that will fix the update problem.

Question. Is the firmware version(s) above the latest AT&T software? According to Kies, it is. But I am reading other places that the latest software is android 2.3.6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
Did exactly as creepy stated. Brought the phone back to stock software and did a factory reset. Without ANY customization and as soon as the phone booted up, I did the software update and had the same thing, "Communication failed" (says there is an update available but servers are busy).

I give up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Well, I don't have any new ideas. Maybe if I get some time in the next few days I'll try it on my phone to see what happens. It has been a while since I tried it. Maybe the server behaves differently now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
From what I've been reading on AT&T forums (http://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung/Sa...2-3-6-OTA-update-now-live/td-p/2996495/page/3) I don't think so. I've been trying every combination I can think of to make this thing work but I honestly have no idea. I was extremely surprised when I brought the phone back to complete stock and no root and still couldn't get the update.

If ICS ever comes to AT&T GS2, I'll wait a month or so to keep trying then I might resort to going to an AT&T store to get a replacement. Who knows
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Or you can wait for a flashable zip that will be created moments later after release. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] j510:
I don't think you guys comprehend but he is asking how to get to stock because he Wants to update through OTA. Telling him there will be ICS roms that he will be able to flash is just ignorant as he stated exactly what he was aiming to do Very clearly. It's his phone so why are you trying to tell him what to do like it was your phone? Roms aren't for everyone. He's asking for help not opinions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
There is such a thing as a stock flashable zip. Just because you can flash it doesn't mean it has to be a custom ROM. I have never updated using the OTA method I find that its slower and its easier to just download a stock zip and flash it and have the same results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] j510:
Yea I know there's stock zips but my point is that's what he is trying to do. Update OTA. Get it? I think you're missing the whole point. He basically wants to get rid of all errors so he can update to ICS via OTA update whenever it comes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Well he will have about 9 more months to figure it out. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
For OP:

1. The latest 2.3.6 UCKK6 is a piece of crap. Stay with 2.3.4. Why do you want to upgrade from a stable build of 2.3.4 to a crappy/buggy 2.3.6 (note: wi-fi battery drain and non-working BT features)?

2. When stock ICS finally comes out ( probably at least 6 months away), I'm 99% sure it won't be OTA. You will need to use Kies Mini to upgrade it because there will be bootloader changes. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if you are on 2.3.4 or 2.3.6, as long as you're on stock firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] myownwitness:
After researching, I have found this out. If/when ICS comes out, will it work on stock 2.3.4 AND root?

I carrier unlocked my phone ATT Titan on Friday. I tested by installed a T-mobile SIM and i was receiving network signal on the T-mobile network. However, I'm not receiving the 8107 update. Is this not the same as having a debranded phone? I debranded my Samsung Focus and the update followed soon after. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks
[HTC Titan] xtrememanix:
its not the same as having a debranded phone ! .

the process of unlocking you mentioned just allows you to use other sim cards on an at&t device . but your device is still an at&t device .

the only true way of unbranding your phone now is to flash an unbranded rom . which i think its still not possible as of now .

[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
Have you tried forcing the update through Zune? Search for an update then see if it finds one, If not search again and you will need to unplug your Modem/Lan cable as it searches again, Its a trial and error thing and getting the timing right is the difficult part, I managed to force the 8107 using this method, There should be some threads lurking around somewhere on XDA, Best of luck.

Also remember it is the network carriers who dish out the updates, Maybe if you put an ATT sim back in it may update easier then you can go back to T-mobile etc.
