I actually came up with another (better) solution...

After a hard reset, put your XDA or XDA II into the cradle & run activesync. You can either set up a connection, or go as guest.

Use the 'explore' button to browse to the \windows\startup folder on the XDA, and delete the Welcome shortcut. You can then remove the XDA from the cradle, softboot, and bingo, no welcome message, no calibration.

Hope this helps. I'm surprised no one has come up with that before.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] poopslap:
I am having the same problem but when I try to remove the welcome.exe it is saying "cannont delete file welcome: access denied". I is probably because the process has already started... any suggestions?

Just create a (empty) file named "welcome.not" on your SD card and do a new Hard Reset (or soft reset, should also work)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] nypra1314:
Well,

For what it's worth,

I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.

Later I found this in the registry:

HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)

So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Hakim Rahman:
what is correct the way you do a hard reset ..? [

Performing a hard reset

CAUTION: When you perform a hard reset, your device returns to its default out-of-the-box settings, and all information and third-party applications are lost. Only perform a hard reset when you want to clear all settings, programs, and data.

To hard reset the device, perform the following steps:

1.	Tap Start.

2.	Tap Settings.

3.	Tap the System tab.

4.	Tap the Clear Storage icon.

5.	Type the indicated word or numbers, and tap Yes. The device resets and powers on.

This tutorial is only as a comparison for you :D

Hi,

I work with JB 4.1.2. If I want a new ROM (4.2.1 - 4.2.2. ....) do I have to fully wipe the old System, or can i just rename the zip file to update.zip and make an update. The problem ist that it takes allways a long time to rearrange all the Widgets and Shortcuts. Maybe there is a programm which saves all my setups of the screens and Apps this would also be nice.

Thanks Chris
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me.noob:
If the newer version is released with a different base then you have to fullwipe, otherwise u can dirty flash which will not change ur settings/ apps etc.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
You don't need to rename the zip if you're just flashing it from recovery. And you can dirty flash. Just only report bugs after testing on a clean flash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scanlia:
In addition, you can back up all your apps and settings with Titanium Backup, and then after you wipe everything and do a clean install of another ROM, you can restore everything back. (It saves the bkp on your SD card)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I'd you back up system apps and settings, it's the same as a dirty flash. I usually only back up user apps and settings.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
Hi everyone, this is my guide to create extension .QMG files used by Samsung to storage images & animations like bootanimation and shutdown animation.

ok lets kick it!

Software required:

Samsung theme Designer

(7zip, winrar, winzip)

http://developer.samsung.com/themes/tools-sdks/Samsung-Theme-Designer-2-0-4

Note: you will need your full animation sequence frame by frame in 480 X 800 (Samsung Galaxy S Advance) resolution and named with numeric sequence example: Image_000.png, image_001.png, image_002.png, etc.

1.- Open Samsung Theme Designer and create new theme, use type "feature(NonTouch) phone", then "select model" and use any model and "select Showcase" use default, name your theme.

2.- Chose "Idle Component" then "Idle Background" and change "Background Type" to "animated", select "frame" the qty. of frames your animation have, example 62 "

Edited: Tnx for the feedback anbech

2 A.-

2 B.-"Repeat" true/false chose true if you want to create a loop animation or false in case you only want to play a single cycle.

3.- Drag your image files sequence from your folder to the empty squares in the bottom of the theme designer (pay no attention to the canvas it is smaller than your images)

4.- Now export your theme and accept the Samsung terms & conditions and wait for your .STM file theme.

5.- Rename the .STM file to .ZIP file and open it.

6.- Copy the "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg" (Idle Background Animation Objet) to your desktop.

7.- Rename it to: bootanimation.qmg or shutdown.qmg as you required

the route for your file in the stock rom is:

You need to be root to replace the system files (thx for the feedback omnikam)

bootanimation: system/media

shutdown: system/media/video/shutdown

And that's it, easy isn't? no scripts! :D

Note: for Bootanimation QMG files in all this thread [MENTION=4699197]anbech[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3853873]SunnyOK[/MENTION] discover some problematics with the custom rom QMG bootanimation loading and [MENTION=241158]sonny[/MENTION]OK fin the solution that change color or simple didnt run the animation this was tested on SGH-I897 & SGH-I997

--------------------------------------------------

Updated: This is my work for chucky´s roms (tnx for allow me to work with you dude) its a mix of zip (bootanimation) & qmg (shutdown) files plus audio (ogg files) in the new future room

You need to be root to replace the system files (thx for the feedback omnikam)

the rute is:

bootanimation: system/media

shutdown animation: system/media/video/shutdown

audio: system/media/audio/ui

I Must be doing something wrong...

My FIRST post on XDA, yahoo!:laugh: Anyhow... I fallowed the tutorial to the letter, but when i restart my phone with the custom animation i made from a .GIF file i found on the internet and split into 183 .PNG file... It doesn't work. But the one that you made works perfectly. Is there any way you can help? I think I'm stuck.

P.S. Don't know if this is useful but; I'm still on Windows XP: Professional Edition:good:. I had to fight to get the Samsung software to run on my system. It kept giving me errors until i downloaded the "Far Eastern Language Pack" did anybody else have this problem or am i the only person still using WIN-XP. Thanx.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
Hi, gratz. Check your system space. Sometimes If you make a fat file (like 10m) you overweigth the system and the file will never run, try deleting or moving out 1 or 2 apps from your system (system/app).

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] UltraNerdyHackerGuy:
I think your on to something there.

Thanks for your quick response.:good: Your suggestion makes perfect since to me so i made an animation with just 11 frames of 800x480 images, and then 5, and then 2. No matter what i do it still behaves erratically. I have noticed that the startup animation will play but it plays as if the resolution is not set correctly. Like trying to run maxed out CrySis in HD on a monitor from the 80's that only supports 640x480 or something. My phone is 800x480 btw. I'll try switching O.S.'s and see if i get the same problems with the SamSung software on windows 7.

P.S. My R.O.M. is almost finished:victory: All i need now is a cool boot/shutdown animation to complete my mod. Thank you. (How do i leave thanks again? Never posted on a forum before)

I make the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg according to this (youtube - watch?v=mD_J-Sdchlg) which I think is more or less what you guys do, and put it in /system/media/ with Root Browser, but i get the bootanimation (made of resized to 320x480 jpg's) on the top half of the screen and doubled. Like, if this is my screen, where there's A there's my animation running, and where there's 0 it's black.

| A A |

| |

| 0 0 |

Anyone else? Furthermore, I noticed that my loop part would still continue playing for a while when I get the screen unlock screen (the nine circles where you make some shape in order to unlock the screen), which is displayed just before it asks for my SIM PIN code (maybe some bug, as the PIN screen should be the first).

Something must be wrong with the resolution, as the project file in Samsung Theme Developer was the Default for GT-S5520 in 240x400.

Help is appreciated.

Is anyone else having any problems setting up the duration in the Samsung Theme Designer, I have a MASSIVE collection of converted bootanimations that I've done with special thanks to xessus and this tutorial, that you can find here in qmg format. I've been trying to build the largest bootanimation QMG collection on XDA, however I have hit a snag, the timing on the Duration, does not seem to adjust, it has one speed and one speed only which runs at "0". In fact if you want to see what I'm talking about have a look at the bottom of my OP from the link above, for the Thor1 Bootanimation. The bootsamsungloop has 255 images loaded, which is unusual to begin with I set the Duration at 390 with no repeat, and it still loops. I have uninstalled STD several times, cleared registry, deleted everything, I even installed version 2.0.3 which oddly doesn't produce .smt files. I have tons more bootanimations to convert but can't get this timing issue to work, and the Samsung forums have nothing related to it AFAIK. Any ideas?

BTW: if you review my collection, some bootanimation's I may acknowledge or not have acknowledge correctly if so please let me know. :good:

Just an FYI, you don't need to change the file extension from smt to zip. Just right click it, select ope and in the window that asks what you want to open it with select WinRAR. This will make it so any smt file in the future can be opened with WinRAR using the good ol' double click :)
