Did u assign the same permissions as the original bootanimation, has to be the exact same?
[HTC Droid DNA] code_monkey74:
I knew it had to be something simple I was forgetting... Thanks! Any tip to get the sound working with the animation also?
[HTC Droid DNA] TheCrow1372:
Glad u got that corrected and no on the sound cuz that's the one and only issue I still have, I've renamed it android_audio.mp3 also android_boot.mp3 and even what it's actually named under scripts using Root Explorer (htc_boot.mp3) with no luck plus have been all over this forum asking the same question about sound with no conclusive reasoning?:(:thumbdown: sorry
[HTC Droid DNA] djsnake210:
I think it's going to depend on which ROM you're running as to what sound file is needed. For Viper ROM it is the system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3. I would suggest looking at the Permissions of the mp3 file. start out setting them to rw- r-- r--.

Let me know if this works out for you. I've thought about doing some boot ani's with sound, but haven't had time to try yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheCrow1372:
I've changed it all now comes the reboot, I'll let u know and I can't wait till u do write up a guide.:thumbup:

Thanks

Ur a GENIUS bro, thanks IT WORKED!! :thumbup::):beer:
[HTC Droid DNA] djsnake210:
Actually it looks like it may have more to do with the naming of the folders within the boot animation. I'm downloading Virtuous ROM now to take a look at how their boot animation is setup.

If you have an XML Editor you can look in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. about 3/4 of the way through the file there is a section that lists which files are used for boot up and boot down.

For instance here is what it says in the default.xml from the stock rooted dna rom:

-<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audiostart="vzw" audio="/system/customize/resource/Droid_DLX_Eye_Animation_Sound_Design_9.21.12.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/vzw_bootup.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>

Notice the audiostart="vzw". If you look in the desc.txt file within the stock boot animation file it looks like this:

1080 1920 30

p 1 15 android

p 1 30 vzw

Here is a quick description of each row in the desc.txt file:

1080 1920 30 >> 1080x1920 Resolution, 30 Frames p/Sec as Default

p 1 15 android >> 1st part uses the images in the android folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 15 seconds

p 1 30 vzw >> 2nd part uses the images in the vzw folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 30 seconds. The folder vzw also triggers the boot animation sound as noted in the default.xml snippet above.

I hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

In Viper ROM it lists the audio file, but there is no audiostart tag, so I wonder if it just starts playing audio when the boot animation begins

Here is the default.xml snippet from Viper ROM:

-<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audio="/system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>
[HTC Droid DNA] TheCrow1372:
Nice eye bro, it works now like I mentioned but now this gives me more to work with when I go and play with 'Boot Animation Factory' and who knows I might come up with some good animations myself? lol:D:thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] magicninja:
haha I don't have any kind of htc boot mp3....guess ima have to make my own.

what resolution should the boot animations be?
[HTC Droid DNA] TheCrow1372:
Did u download the file to ur desktop computer and unzip it, the sound file should be there and name it (htc_boot.mp3) and put it where he said for me to put it in his post above
[HTC Droid DNA] magicninja:
Its all done...I just grabbed an np3. Renamed it put it in its place fixed permissions and boom I have sound...just need to make the boot animation smaller

And I meant there was no start up sound on the phone previously
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Hello people,

I am proud to present CWM recovery v5.8.0.2 for the FLEX! :D

THIS IS NOT UPDATED FOR JELLYBEAN!!..yet

UPDATED support for either internal or external sd

THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THE INTERNAL SDCARD ARE LOCATED IN THE /data/media FOLDER ON THE PHONE SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE /media FOLDER TO GET YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD's ZIP FILES AND STUFF WHEN CHOOSING INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD. ALSO THE BACKUPS YOU MAKE WILL BE STORED IN THE /data/clockworkmod/blahblah FOLDER ON THE PHONE SO I RECOMMEND YOU BUY AN EXTERNAL SD CARD BUT ITS JUST WHATEVVS.

Alright you will need a few things before you can install.

1. Rooted Pantech Flex P8010 (oscar)

2. Computer

3. Basic knowlege of adb/fastboot

4. ADB/Fastboot

READ ME (Disclaimer)

WARNING: THIS VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY

I am not responsible for you bricking your phone or anything that you do to your phone e.g. flash wrong zips , drop it in coke ect.

INSTRUCTIONS

Get a file manager such as Root Explorer and delete the FILE in the /system folder called "recovery_from_boot.p". Get the signed zip file for your desired sdcard mount point (either internal or external sd), and put it in your /external_sd or /sdcard folder. Download and put the .img file (also corresponding to the desired mount point for your sdcard) in adb folder and rename it boot.img. Then put the phone into fastboot mode (google it).

Type:

fastboot boot boot.img

And CWM recovery will pop up after a few seconds. Then choose install zip from sdcard and browse to the CWM_flex-P8010.zip and install it. Then reboot into recovery again and YAY! nandroid time :good:

BIG HUGE thanks to atadres for helping me along the way and also making the flashable zip :) :highfive:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Score dude! Team flex has such a bright future with these devs. Glad I could help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:

there is a real major error! guys really major!! please read! when att prompts for the software update it will only alow you to postopone it so many times!! and once it updates autmatically itll get stuck in a loop booting into cwm recovery and never the phone no matter what! the temp fix is to fastboot stock recovery!! and not press on the update when you fastboot stock recovery itll download update and fail halfway through! do not upodate it breaks root!! be careful!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:
Does anyone know what the update is even supposed to do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Fix a couple of bugs with battery meter add more att. Spam apps nothing big
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] briankariu:
If you get the update forcefully, just reroot the phone using the previous method then install the recovery. That is what I just did and it worked for me. Syncing git repos as we speak

@timmythanoob please share how you did it....for knowledge's sake
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
I used a pantech burst cwm recovery and made it compatible with the flex (recovery.fstab, init.rc,) and I also used a /sbin/recovery file from an atrix 4g to get the resolution right for our screen (qHD). :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
Can anyone upload the system directory with sub folders, I did something and have lost all my sound.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Do you think it could be your speaker or are you sure its a software problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
No I'm sure it's software

I emailed pantech about how i could unlock the bootloader and they said this lol.

Dear Timothy,

Thank you for contacting Pantech Technical Support.

ok now I got into that forced update from at&t and now phone just keeps booting into cwm recovery has or does anyone know how to fix this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Yes you must fastboot into the stock recovery image. And let it fail then it'll reboot into your system
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
Cool Thanks, again a life saver, is there a way to apply the update or does it break root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Breaks root and is touchy sometimes it will install and on other phones it won't install idk if it does go through it'll break root you will need to reroot. Using the same method you used the first time no problem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:

Jay sterling i. Gotta ask lol how do you get phones so quickly Haha already got an HTC one x nice HTC has such a following in the development circut
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:
Do we know of a phone that has similar specs to ours that we can steal a CM ROM from. My past experience was with the LG P505 we were able to use the P500 ROMs once we got a working kernel for our phones. I know its not going to be that simple but if there was a phone that was similar it would cut down on the amount of changes we would need to do the the CM source to get it working. Just a thought.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] briankariu:
The htc one s has identical specs
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:
Sounds like thats our beast then.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] solz6009:
i was also checkin out phones with similar specs to port cm from.bt donno hw its done.sm1 who knows just do it.Im ready to check it out and do any help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Although the HTC one S has similar specs to our phones the reality is they are 2 very diff phones by 2 diff manfacturers we cannot use the HTC as a base because the kernels are so diffrent one is compiled for sense and the other is not
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:
Clearly we wouldn't be able to use the kernel for the HTC on the Pantech but using the ROM with some modifications might make it easier to port CM10 over to our phones. The way the LG P500 got CM7 was they found a phone that was similar in specs, they reworked some aspects of it and built a custom kernel for it. Obviously there will be a good amount of coding no matter how we go about this but to save on reinventing the wheel it might be worth looking into something like the HTC one S as a starting point. Maybe there is a phone that is closer in specs to ours that is supported by Cyanogen if so that should be our choice. Either way we either have to start with the raw source code from CM team and alter it to support our phones or we need to use a phone that is similar to ours and patch the broken bits.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
what about the Motorola Atrix 2 ? wouldnt that be a bit closer then the 1s and has the att radios qhd dual core and has a cm 10 port

ok do me a quick favor man try fastbooting into the cwm recovery image see if you can browse your sd card when you fastboot boot it just to make sure its not a problem with the flashable image zip and you also said you had the update load up all the way through this is strange since most phones fail the update if they are rooted ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jSterling:
Lol, I Sell/Trade electronics on Craigslist, and I make sales online from selling electronics, so the money I get in paypal usually goes towards buying new phones and messing with them.

The sad thing is, my HTC One X (North American Dual Core) scores almost the SAME as the Pantech Flex. AnTuTu full benchmark gave both my Flex and One X a score of 10xxx, thought it was pretty funny sense the Flex is so much cheaper then the One X. It's a beast underneath the hood. I do think it has to do with one of the cores in my One X going offline at times. I'm still looking into that -.-
