Make sure you've renamed the zip to bootanimation.zip. Throw it in system/media. No permission change is necessary.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
did that. and tried Every permission option possible.... it just displays a black screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
I just downloaded to re-test what I uploaded earlier and it works. Can you provide the steps you are following to move the bootanimation to system/media?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
well I add to the part on desc,txt s Bionic.oog then I rezip and name bootanimation.zip.... in system.media naming other customboot animation someone else made bootanimation.zip.bak(which fires work so IDK y mine doesn't.... and turn off, restart device.... I've played with permissions too. no luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
Did you download the bootanimation in post #8?

If you are using ES File Explorer, go to settings and make sure "Mount File System" is checked.

You should

not

have to change permissions. Since you have been changing the permissions, they should be checked as follows

User: Read; Write

Group: Read

Other: Read
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
yes. made sure that was checked. I leave all that checked. I'm not a total noob.. kind of feeling like it though
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
someone take the one I guess fixed after mine and add "s Bionic.oog" to stay in past two and rezip? ill try that
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
just tried it on an application I found in these firms and it threw up an error. I do not c what is wrong with it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I downloaded and tried the bootanimation from the quoted post and it worked perfectly! Only thing I did was obviously renamed it but didn't change any permissions or anything.

I like it too btw! Nice job ;)

Ps...not sure if you've tried adding sounds after it was edited by Sham-rock but they didn't work for me...

[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
well I really my sound back in there 2md part.... I will try it without sound though I guess.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
If it still doesn't work after taking out the sound, try re-downloading the edited file from Sham-rock, renaming it to bootanimation.zip and copying it to /system/media/ folder to see if it works then. If it does, than try editing it again and adding the sound...

[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
well using my animation shamrock fixed it worked flawlessly! but dang it I want my sound.... so I unzipped, added s Bionic.oog to part2 and excluded everything.... different work again. y does it not work with sound? r u supposed to a certain thing to zip with? is for some reason my animation not sound compatible?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ok, well now that it works, that's a start!

I'm not quite sure if you're supposed to .zip it with something specific or not and I dunno about the sound either. What I do know is there is a thread that discusses both questions you have here in the forums. I'll look for it and post a link (unless you find it 1st of course)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
When you re-zipped, did you only zip part1, part2, part3, and the desc.txt file? If you re-zipped the entire folder named "bootanimation...." it will not work. You must only zip the individual folders and text file.

I use "RAR" to zip my files. If using RAR, you will need to use the compression method of "store".
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
yes. just part 1, 2, 3, and desc.txt... like I said before I'm not a total noob.... but I understand and appreciate u all trying to help. I use 7zip when laptop is somewhere handy but mostly I zip on my phone with Es file explorer
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
On 2.3.4 stock (198_6) I put the boot sounds in system/media/audio/notifications.

The contents of the desc.txt of the animation I'm using are:

480 800 15

p 1 0 part0

s zbootsound1.mp3

p 1 0 part1

s zbootsound2.mp3

p 0 0 part2

s zbootsound3.mp3

(yes, there are 3 different sounds...doesn't matter what you name them as long as the reference in desc.txt and the actual mp3 file match as far as I know)

My bootanimation.zip is zipped with 7zip in 'store' mode (no compression)...don't know if the zip function on your phone is capable of no-compression zipping...

Personally, every time I edit the contents of the bootanimation.zip file I do so on the original source files and completely rezip from scratch. (kind of a 'do it once, do it right' approach)
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
so there is a seeing in es file explorer got zipping to "store".... well tried that... making progress, I have sound! but no animation....... IM determined to fix this...
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
I know .... well I dont really but anyway... take a look here. it should work right?

# 540 wide, 960 tall 15 frames per second

540 960 15

# p means we're defining a part

# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite

# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part

# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second

# string defines the directory to load files from

# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter

# s defines a sound for a part

# sounds will be loaded from /system/media

# oggs with loop points will loop automatically

# only one sound will play at a time

# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds

# if you want no sound, leave blank

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I did notice ES File Explorer does have the "store" option. Another app that seems to be the 7zip equivalent for Android is ZArchiver. You can check it out or download it here ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver

[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
I downloaded your zip from post #7 and looked through it...I will assume you have made some mods to that zip since you have the sound working. The only thing I noticed was that some of your images were of different sizes (the blue skull set was 426x676 and the droid set were the defined 540x960).

I have never tried to make an animation with varying sizes of frames...not saying it won't work as is, but you might try eliminating that variable(by removing those frames) and see it will play for you. If it does, try resizing the frames you removed to match the others and try again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
it just makes the skulls slightly skinnier. skinny enough so u have to know they are skinnier than they are supposed to be
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
I guess that means the animation is playing now...thats great!
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
yes. thanks to sdubs fur help

Can someone help me with recording calls in WhiteRabbit 1.5.2 Rom ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fmllc:
Just wondering what browser you all were using for your note? Stock browser is OK and I've tried dolphin browser but wasn't too impressed either....so what you guys running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vizographic:
I have always found Dolphin to handle flash the best. But my current favorite Browser is Opera Mobile. Actually, I use both Opera browsers. If I'm in an area with poor reception/bandwidth then I use Opera Mini. I have to warn you my opinion is very subjective and biased. I have been using Opera since way back in the days of windows mobile. I have tried the rest but always find myself back with Opera. I have been keeping an eye on firefox and it seems to be making some great strides but my impression is that it is not ready for prime time just yet. I'm rooted but still using the stock gingerbread Rom. If you are using an ics Rom and you don't mind giving up flash then you might be interested in Chrome which has a great feature set and is purported to be blazing fast. Either way, on gingerbread I find Opera to be the best overall browser for me. That said your mileage may vary subject to your personal taste.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eun-Hjzjined:
I use opera for one big reason. Its probably got the best built in download manager I've seen on a mobile browser.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonLaserface:
Running ICS in tablet mode and I've been using OverSkreen for a while with no complaints. I love having multiple, re-sizable browser windows available.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myboyfriendisageek.airbrowser&hl=en

I keep Dolphin installed just in case I hit a wall with OverSkreen but thus far I haven't found a page it wouldn't load properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] freq019:
I use dolphin HD, used to use Opera on my old Nokia N95 but I didn't like the direction they were going with the look and feel so I tried Dolphin when I got my first android phone and I've been happy with it since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquinn19:
Stock ICS and Boat on GB roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I use Chrome. I don't need a bunch of features in a browser and it is quick and stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
I liked to use maxthon browser on my evo, but I am definitely wondering if there is a better choice for this huge display.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Skyfire has a lot of features and its nice too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Izzue:
In terms of pure speed, Chrome. Stock is not bad either.

For flash, Dolphin and Boat seems to be the fastest while Opera seems to struggle a bit compared to the aforementioned browsers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
I like the chrome beta. I would like it if they added some dolphin style tabs though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Wow the Nokia N95 haha that brings me back! I used to run the same setup haha. I still use Opera though because of the download and simplicity of use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jghidalgo307:
Try each browser on this website. Html5test.com numbers don't lie loll
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] level0:
Used xscope pro on my og evo for a long time, but it sorely needs an update.

I now use dolphin hd. It crashes often with multiple tabs open however.

Opera mobile and opera mini and boat are good alternatives.

On GB still so no chrome.

Firefox beta looks cool but takes forever to load pages.

Maxthon is ok but not in the same class as the above.

Skyfire is too bulky.

I use my note a ton to browse the interwebs and I regularly try different browsers out to find the best experience. However, as the previous poster said, browser preference is incredibly subjective.

I use Dolphin HD over the stock browser. I havent had any issues with fc on the stock rom or thus new one.

I prefer chrome beta, its fast and very stable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
ICS+

Has a lot of nice customizations - seems to be less prone to FC's and integrates nicely with Chrome bookmarks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yollasho:
In order of preference chrome, boat, opera. And overskreen for when I want a quick floating browser.

Chrome is just awesome since I've used it on desktop forever add its nice to easily sync. Boat is nice with its customizable menu. And opera is for when I hit a wall with the others. They're all decently speedy and lots of features.

On cm9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
I like Dolphin HD, it's the easiest browser to put into desktop mode and I hate mobile sites, so Dolphin HD's my browser. I like Chrome Beta a lot, but am very disappointed that the "Request Desktop" setting is not a system-wide or even permanent setting. It should be the default, I still have a desktop running 1024x768 and I think that if my phone supports 1280x800 it should not be restricted to crappy mobile sites.

I also want Firefox for Android to get better, haven't tested it in a while but the last time I used it (on my TouchPad before I got my Note) it still had major issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Edited as responded to wrong thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Web-head:
Might be cliche, but I prefer the stock ICS browser.

Chrome is great, but no Flash.

Firefox now has Flash, but it's pretty laggy when scrolling and pinching.

Thought Dolphin HD was cool, with the desktop like tabs, but not as fast as stock ICS Browser.

Didn't try Opera.

Didn't try ICS Browser+ as the added features weren't compelling enough, but I may at some point.

I care about speed and smooth scrolling, and I haven't come across a browser that does those two things better than the ICS browser. Except for Chrome, but I need Flash. Once they add Flash to Chrome (which is crazy that it doesn't have it, as the desktop version of Chrome has Flash built in) it will be my preferred browser.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rob Irizarry:
I bounce between Dolphin HD and Boat Browser. Dolphin HD has excellent Lastpass integration while Boat Browser shines at bookmark management.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] namtellum:
ICS Browser+ seems to have to best performance of anything I have tried but I like Chrome's ability to sync with the tabs on my desktop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I was really surprised to see no one post ICS Browser +. Amazing ratings, great features, wonderful speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] simbill:
+1. Love the stock browser, as I dont see it missing anything I personally need from a mobile web browser.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donjay56:
I have a P7500, and actually wanted to know if anyone had attempted to flash the radio to support AWS bands. From what I have read, the T859 is the same Tab with the exception of the bands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Going by experience of other devices, the frequencies of the networks require the bands to be physically supported at hardware level, of which, the radio hardware will be physically different, so flashing a Radio firmware other than the one you should be running, will probably only end on tears.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DVJr84:
Reason for this question is because I'm currently on the lastest leak ucle2 and my battery life is horrible. I would just flash and try it out but not completely comfortable with flashing roms. Any input would be really appreciated. If this topic has already been brought up sorry. I searched maybe not enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DVJr84:
Sorry. Sky ics! Spell check always messes my words up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
Battery life has been a present issue with the ICS leak so you are by far not the first one asking about this. My suggestion would be try out either CM9 or AOKP and see if your battery improves any because in my experience, I got much better battery life on CM9 and AOKP over any other ICS ROM. To flash is very easy just follow the directions in the OP and you will be rocking in no time at all :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cnewsgrp:
Great battery life on GB rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
This is my battery life with Sky ICS 4.2E-6. Light usage, strong cell and wifi reception. Probably could've been better if I uninstalled Kik and Line (they seem to wake up the device very often).

Usually, it's much worse during the weekday when I'm at work, where my cell and wifi reception both suck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DVJr84:
I ended up flashing sky ics and I have to say battery life is definitely amazing over ics ucle2 leak.
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
I currently own a G2x and am really interested in picking this baby up. The last few days, however, I've been reading about a lot of issues. These are mainly quality control like wear and tear on the power key, the paintjob coming off on the sides, etc.

I was hoping some of you guys could share your experience with the phone and whether or not I should take the plunge. Is everyone having the qaulity control issues?
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
My device is working amazingly. great battery and performance. the only paint chip issue is with the black and red model. I have the silver and blue model with absolutely no complaints. My suggestion: get this device!
[HTC One S] pbelcomp:
I am very happy with mine.

I have a D30 cover on it, so I haven't seen the paint issue (or because the T-Mobile US model doesn't have the issue) and my power button works fine.

I also came from a G2X.
[HTC One S] warrior24:
Agree with all of them .....one of the best phones out. No disappointment...no regrets with this phone....its the real deal and T-Mobile has an update coming out within a couple of days or so...so any lingering bugs should be fixed...this is a high quality phone built to last! High recommend it to anyone
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
Sounds like a great phone, but the paint chipping problem on the black and red model is a bummer because that's the one I liked more. Is it a really prevalent issue?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Depends on where you buy it. The US One S doesn't have the issues you mention
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
Are u sure? I'd rather not get the T-Mobile branded one...
[HTC One S] Totòòò:
Confirmed
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
Damn... why do you think that is?
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
The T-Mobile version is the grey+blue version. This one does NOT have the chipping problem. As far as I understand, T-Mo will not be selling the black+red version. The only way to get black+red would be to get the international version shipped from online. The grey+blue (no paint chipping issue) model also has an international version as well (not T-Mo branded). I would prefer to get the T-Mo version (if you have T-Mo) because you can get it for a cheap price with contract extension if your line is upgradable.

Either way: black+red version = chipping problem, grey+blue = no paint chipping problem. The reason is because of the material it is made of. The black one goes through a process called micro oxidation where the metal is zapped with a lot of electricity. This leaves the black finish over the metal, which may chip over time.
[HTC One S] Nick L:
I'm really happy with mine too. Only a couple of minor software bugs for me (that will probably be fixed with the OTA).

About the chipping (and pretty much all problems with all phones), it's hard to say how prevalent the problem is, because usually only the people who have problems speak up. You almost never see anyone make a "Who else's phone is perfect and totally awesome!" thread. So there could be hundreds of thousands of people without problems, but you only hear from people with issues, which makes things seem much worse than they are.

If you're really worried, I'd say go for the silver one - still the best looking phone out there, regardless of color. Black is boring anyway. :)
[HTC One S] Totòòò:
very simple, made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in usa has to have higher quality otherwise the government of this country will kick htc's butt lol. while made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in whatever party of the world, I dont thing is a big deal ;)
[HTC One S] QaeadarDAzeal:
I love my One S. The only thing I'm not totally happy about is the display. Sometimes the right edges of icons or text are a bit pixelated. However, this is not noticeable in games or movies which is what I mostly use mine for anyways. It's a very sexy device, and once I rooted it and put Trickdroid on it with a few tweaks (6 x 5 app drawer and removed the 3 dot menu stuff, remapped the soft touch buttons), it's just shy of perfection. Damn sexy looking too.
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
So basically I should get the blue version and don't have to worry about the chipping?
[HTC One S] QaeadarDAzeal:
Correct. The process they used on the black and red version which causes the chipping was not done on the blue and grey version. =)
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
I see, what is HTC doing to compensate?
[HTC One S] timtalkshow:
I have the One S myself, and yeah, I don't like the screen b/c it's not as high res as the X. :(

I just got the One S, but am thinking about jumping ship to the SG3. One of the things I like most about the One S, however, is the f/2.0 aperture on the camera which allows for better pictures in a low light situation.
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
Anymore input?

I'm still considering picking this phone up, convince me not to lol.

I kinda like the greyish color not tho, so the chipping isn't a problem.
[HTC One S] QaeadarDAzeal:
At the moment, nothing. There really isn't anything that they can do once the process to the aluminum is completed. A coating to cover it is only as good as what it's covering, and if that chips, well...you get the point.

If you're stuck on the red/black one, just make sure to buy a clear case for it and you should be okay. Alternatively, I maintain that the grey/blue one is pretty sexy. And Samsung's plastic phones with Touchwiz suck. Don't do it. =)

What do you mean?

Restart and try again. Backing up won't change anything about your system. It only "reads". Should be fine.

Edit: however...never never ever turn off your phone during "ANY" type of write or flash.

Have you tried mounting the internal sdcard before doing the back up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jediruss:
yea Its mounted, it gives me the option to unmount it so i dont think thats the issue. Everytime I try to back it up it leaves files on the sd card so I know its transferring to the card. I might try formatting the card and see if that helps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
Backups take like 750mb. After you format a 2gb card, that's about half of it. Make sure its empty. Or better yet, backup to internal storage and transfer. Just don't backup to internal then format, that's no good.
