Alternate Dream Boot Sequence

Long time XDA lurker here.

I loved the idea, but hated the XP-esque boot sequence at the end of the Dream version, so I changed it up. Same as the Dream version to start, but then goes to the ASCII Android, and then the letters in ANDROID light up in green in sequence, so I know it's still going. Props to Rob Turner and Frysee.
[Android Themes] frysee:
Great work, that one was already on my to-do-list! :rolleyes:

I repacked it to be flashable through recovery, anyone willing to test it?

[Android Themes] bbrosen:
wow, love this boot animation, thanks !!!!
[Android Themes] frysee:
should be gone now, try again :p

greetz
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
It does flash, but it does not have the flickering "Android" characters, something I expected to be honest ;)

So I just used the version above you and put it manually in the correct folder. Thanks though! :D
[Android Themes] ctbeiser:
On the flickering letters in Android: I left a short gap in the desc.text while I was troubleshooting it. It wasn't a problem for me;my phone takes forever to boot. To fix, go to the desc.txt and remove the 100, and put a 0 there. I should have mentioned that.
[Android Themes] frysee:
Thats why we need someone to test ;)

Fixed that. Also took the liberty to alter the "flickering letters" color to match the android green.

greetz
[Android Themes] ctbeiser:
I can report that it flashes correctly, and that those correctly-colored letters look pretty awesome.

Edit: I'm getting "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" messages after flashing, whenever I reach ADW Launcher. I doubt this caused it, but I wanted to put it out there in case it happens to someone else.

Edit2: Reflashing another bootanimation doesn't help. I'll chalk it up to screwing with my phone too much unless anyone finds to the contrary.
[Android Themes] frysee:
Thanks for checking, anyone else experiencing something similar?

Hey all...I have tried adding this boot to my G1...and every time I boot all it shows is a black screen. I have a current bootanimation but like this one more...any ideas...my setup is in my sig.

Added info: I just flashed Burning Apple from Six6Sicks and it is running fine.
[Android Themes] Banjoramen:
Any chance of making one for the Eris? I know the Hero one works, but a dedicated one for Eris would ROCK. A 2.2 Froyo Eris version would be even better!(For KaosFroyo...) ;)
[Android Themes] Ceeefax:
Great boot animation idea! Really wanted to tinker with this one.

I tried to edit it so that it read 2.2 instead of 2.1 and 'powered by DeFrost' instead of 'have a nice day'. Just some little changes to start with!

However, when I pushed the bootanimation.zip file to /data/local (works for other boot animations on my desire) I just had a blank screen on boot up. Any ideas?

All I changed were some png's in paint for the last few of the boot txt, re-added them to the .zip.
[Android Themes] frysee:
Messing with the zip-file changes the SHA-Key, you need to resign the file if you want to do that. :)

greetz
[Android Themes] soner607:
How would you go about resigning the zip?
[Android Themes] frysee:
try it, tell me if it works - maybe we need to change that update path.

[Android Themes] soner607:
It was able to flash, however I just got a blank screen.

please try this one now..

This article about the future of smartphones mentions that WP7 won't have multitasking

(even mentioning that MSNBC is Microsoft). It then goes on to ite reasons why multitasking is bad for security and battery drain. The downsides of multitasking are not related to the subject of this article but they use this excuse to plug their agenda.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
I am ok with no multitasking ... but copy paste? Hell no!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fupamobile:
multitasking bad for security???????? how?!???

i think having your phone on autopilot and have it do everything for you just like the iphone is more of a security risk. auto syncing and linking bull****
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rorytmeadows:
Jesus christ. I don't need mommy and daddy to prevent me from running multiple programs to save my battery life. If I want my battery to last longer, I won't run multiple programs. If I don't care about my battery life because I have a charger at work, charger in my car, and a charger at home, then I should be able to run as many as I want.

It's about me. Not mommy and daddy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheGoD:
Plus, apps that just idle in background dont drain your battery, only those which actually perform something should. And if some app really do eat up cpu-ressources while minimize I just close it or stop using it all together.

I mean, back in the days when we all had single cores in our pc's, did u really want ms to deactivate multitasking

just because there are dumb developers who program faulty software that could max out your cpu-usage and let other apps stutter or freeze?

please anybody knows how to disactivate thescreensaver ?

i mean that in other phones if i want to stop the phonecall i press the red button.

to be sure that the phonecall stops i press the red button many times.i cant do this on my hd2 because if i press the red botton twice the screensaver starts and mayby the phonecall runs behide.

sorry for my english.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Well, simply don't, once is enough ;)
[HD2 General] rodosman:
Ok. But sometimes i press once but the phonecall still run on the backround,then i press again the red button and the screen become black...and then i hear the voise "hello-hello"from the person i was talking.that means that i cant bee sure that the phonecall stops.is this happens to you?is it any idea to fix the red button to stop the phonecalls only,and nothing alse?????

Thank you.

Nope, don't have that. And no it can't be changed, the red button is the one and only "power" key for the device.

Just use the onscreen hangup button...

[Touch CDMA General] HarryK:
I have a new-to-me Vogue, that I am trying to get "tweaked." I've tried several flavors of ROM based on 6.5.x, and I appear to be having a problem with my old standby programs. Because it is more than one program, I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious. I depend on the following programs, none of which work (note, I have ensured I have .NET 1SP3, 2, and 3 installed, as well as the VB runtime).

* CryptoCard (password manager)

* MyPocketCalc (RPN calculator)

* WordNetCE (dictionary)

* TCPMP (Video player)

While I know that these programs are for the most part legacy, or even abandoned programs, they all work fine on my HP hx2490b running a cooked 6.1 Classic.

Is there something about the Vogue that breaks all these? Or is it the OS? I think I've even had problems when I had a 6.1 Professional ROM on the Vogue.

I'd appreciate any input, or even thoughts!

Thanks,

Harry
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
tcpmp should work fine. As far as the others they may be incompatible with 6.5.x, but that is only a guess as I have never used any of them.

Next time it happens get a logcat and post it to Cyans paste bin, however if you are not using his rom i.e. you are using optimized or baked goods or something that has been altered from his original build he will tell you to contact whoever altered it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bee2643:
This just started happening to me, too.

I can reboot to solve the problem, and after a random amount of time i will be unable to answer any calls until i reboot the phone. Im thinking a service is crashing?

after the call has missed, i am able to slide to unlock and use the phone like normal.

You are still running a stock 6.0 rom, check the wiki to upgrade your phone to a stock 6.1 rom.

If it is custom roms that you want to delve into, then you can't do better than stylez, but you are going to have to unlock and Hardspl your phone first, before you can flash a custom rom.

The Incredible will be released soon in the US - around 2 weeks.

Rumoured specifications seem better than the Desire, eg 8MP camera

I don't know if it will work in the EU and given its imminent release, I'm surprised the Incredible doesnt have its own sub-forum.

Anyone know what the deal is with the HTC Incredible and why there isn't more interest at XDA?
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
1 - Its CDMA (Verizon).

2 - Very little is known about it (maybe 1 or 2 pictures).

3 - Since it's CDMA and none of the international carriers are selling it, once again not a lot is known.

Those are just my ideas (WTF do I know?). Give it some time. Once it hits, people will start talking.
[Desire General] CaptJager:
XDA is more a development site for phones that are already released. Once released (April 6th my uneducated guess) there will be more interest. There is more info at other sites, I will PM you the address

[Droid Eris Android Development] rustyman14:
I see that a few of you have been asking how to set up ADB.. I hope this helps!

Step 1: Download the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html The Windows file is called android-sdk_r4-windows.zip. Extract the files to your C: drive so that you now have the folder C:\android-sdk-windows

Now open up command prompt and type these codes:

1: Code:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

2: Code:

adb devices

If you've been following this guide you will see your phone's serial number. If you get "device not found" error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging AFTER you connect the USB cable. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.

You shouldn't have to install anything other than the HTC Sync... And the only reason you install HTC Sync is for the drivers.. You dont have to install anything for ADB just put the extracted file on the C:\ drive.... And then whenever you wanna Push or Pull a file with ADB, just put that file in the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools file....

Obviously not intended for things like "Can somone walk me through rooting k thx please!"

Major Questions for that type of stuff can be found here:

***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"

But more like "Where the hell can I turn vibrate for text messages?" type of things.

I'll try to update the op with frequent questions to avoid having to search too much. If you look over to the right >>>>>>>>and then up ^^^^^^^^ you'll see a "search this thread" function, use it guys. =)

This is the craziest issue.. My slide to unlock is no longer working so therefore I can hardly use the phone except that I can take inbound calls. I have tried to factory reset using down volume, circle, reset. Please please please any other ideas are greatly appreciated! I am totally stuck with a useless phone and am having to use a BJ II for now! Uggh!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
How come the hard reset didn't work? You need to hold down vol down and the dpad button until the tri-color screen appears.

The easiest thing would be to connect to your pc, then access the registry with ceregeditor. Switch HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\enabled:1 to 0 and soft reset. Then just unlock off the old screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] daWeasel:
Beats the heck out of me.. I hold the volume button down, and hold down the dpad and nothing. I have done it on reboot, I have done it from the lock screen and nothing. As for your registry idea I like it, its just too bad I cannot get the phone to connect to windows. I have tried it on 2 Windows 7computers now. Anymore ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You need to figure out how to hard reset-you're clearly doing it wrong. Hold down vol-down and the d-pad button simultaneously. Keep holding them down. Then just soft reset. Don't hold down the soft reset-just tap it with the stylus. Wait until the hard reset screen appears, then let go of the other two buttons. There is really no way that it won't work, it's a bootloader operation and it doesn't matter what crap you have on your main memory.

I'm having the same issue. Just flashed the Energy Rom and now I can't unlock my phone. I'll try some of the suggested tips and let you know which worked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cloudstrife7:
I edited the registry with the above value and it solved my problem - Phone is no longer locked on bootup. Now my issue is that somehow my touchscreen is unresponsive (probably why I couldn't unlock my phone). I believe it's a hardware issue not a software one because it looks like liquid got under the screen somehow. Lame. Now I need to flash back to stock ROM and lock it so I can send it in under insurance.

PLEASE SEARCH AND ASK ON THE ROM'S THREAD INSTEAD OF MAKING A NEW THREAD.

YOU ARE JUST TAKING UP SPACE AND MAKING XDA MORE CROWDED AND UNORGANIZED. ALSO THERE IS A NICE FEATURE CALLED SEARCHING.

99.999999% of ROMs that work with the G1 will work for the MT3G but you won't brick your phone if you flash an G1 rom that is not compatible with the MT3G. The only ROM that has trouble is MLIGN hero roms but all you need to do flash a file right after the hero rom.
