Can anyone tell me what causes the white flashes in a custom boot screen? i have created my still shots in png format.put them in the 2 folders (part0 and part1).switch the Desc file,i am zipping the file with winrar(making sure the compression is at store).i proceed to load it on to my sd card and use root explorer to move it into system/media file.i reboot the phone and it starts out fine,then it about when the files in folder part1 starts is when i get a flashing white screen like when the loop starts over and it speeds up.can anyone tell me what i am doing wroung??

my desc file is as follows:

320 480 210

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
White flashes happen when there's an extra file inside the image folders (in your case, part0 and part1) of the ZIP. It's usually a Thumbs.db file from Windows or a :DS_Store file from a Mac. They're hidden files, so you'll either have to change your Windows Explorer / Mac Finder to show hidden files, and then delete them, or else open the ZIP file and see if you can delete them from within WinRAR's user interface.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ErisKlown:
thank you for that info.the flash is gone now,but i have one other problem now.it boots normal.up till folder Part1,then its like its takin a hit of speed........correct me if im wrong but in the desc file,the 210 is what sets the speed?

320 480 210

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synaptyc:
"210" in the first line is your frames per second.

Try reducing it to 50 or 25 and see what happens.

Play with it and set it to your liking.

The speed and graphics quality of the animated GIF's is very low compared to the animation on your phone.

They are much faster and prettier.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragon1018:
I found this boot animation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648555

I installed the animation with no problem with the obvious fact that the size is way off (confirmed by running When I run adb shell bootanimation). Just to see if it works. Now I did try to resize the animation in the desc file to

320 480 210

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

When I run the animation after the change the screen is completly blank. Is there anything I am doing wrong or what can be done to make it work. if it is a matter of redoing each and every single png file I am more than happy to do it and upload for all to enjoy. I just want to know what to do before I do a lot of experental tests and fail
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synaptyc:
Use 7-Zip to zip the file.

Archive format = zip

Compression level = Store

Make sure you don't include any "Thumbs.db" files in your zip file or you will get a flicker when playing it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragon1018:
worked like a charm 7-zip was the problem. Thank you so much
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Menebunny:
Hey guys. I'm sorry that this has to be my first post... heh.

I've searched and searched on how to make bootanimations and everything I've done fits the directions... But every time I try pushing it to my phone and reboot it just won't show up. I even modified my png's to fit the size and amount of other bootanims that worked on my phone and have the same outcome..

I know I'm doing the desc.txt properly(EDIT: I MIGHT be doing the desc.txt wrong... Do I have to have the framerate set above a certain amount for it to work right? I have it set to 3 because my animation isn't anything special...)

So is there any specific thing I need to do to the png's to make them work right? (save as interlaced?)

It's really the only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong..

Once again. Sorry my first post is a question that probably has an answer I overlooked. hehe
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synaptyc:
@ Menebunny

read back a few posts. Your solution is that you are incorrectly compressing the ZIP file for this purpose. Also, there is no need to reboot to view your 'bootanimation'.

At the command prompt, type:

adb shell bootanimation

Better yet, put this BATCH file in the same directory as your newly created bootanimation and click it. Edit the batch file to fit your SDK installation directory. I hope this helps!

I wanted to have the Droid X Bootanimation with no loss of quality and somehow gained 2mbs lol, so this is a big momma but she looks good. And sorry guys, I opened up Photoshop and was about to start optimizing images or basically just trying to shrink them down but I was to tired to look up batch editing. and also if anyone would like to write a tutorial for me/us on how to enable boot animation sounds on any rom then that would be pretty neat aswell

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Menebunny:
Hey, thanks a lot! I found out my problem actually had to do with sending it to the wrong place after looking at the batch file... OOPS! That is kind of embarrassing I was just pushing it to the only place in the system i saw the name bootanimation!

Edit: Also, thanks for not getting on my case about not thoroughly searching the forums. (I honestly have been through it quite a bit before I asked :P)

I've got my animation on my phone ... timing works and everything ... but ...

I'm getting the horizontal refresh rate lines. How do you fix this??

I've got the settings at 320x480 ( though my images are 320x458 ) ...

I've got FPS = 20 ...

any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] johnrbrown1968:
FYI:

It was due to image size, not being exact to match screen. Once I resized all my images to 320x480, horizontal refresh lines went away.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] johnrbrown1968:
It actually runs a little bit longer, and a bit faster, loops more, etc ... but that's the basic premise.

Took me fighting with it for a while through trial and error, but finally got it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found this:

It could be nice, but I dont find any screenshots.

I like the open-source approach for this kind of app, and it seems it can import from many other password keeper/manager apps database!

Anyone is using it?

Hi All!

First of all I would like to thank all of you for all your effort in proroducing some of the most awsome mods and apps I've ever been a part of :D

With the thank you out if the way,

Quick Question, Are there any Skifire browser reg tweaks out there to atleast speed it up... I love the functionality but just cant bring my sef to use it as it so sloooowww..........

Seriously, there must be something :confused:

Thanks in advance! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
No one? Surely.... :eek:

A no will do if you know..... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
Skyfire is pretty similar to Opera Mini in it's workings, and seeing how basically there are no tweaks for Opera Mini, it's rather safe to assume there ain't much, if any registry tweaks for Skyfire.

Think about it, how many tweaks can there be for a browser that's basically a dumb client for preformated info that comes from online servers? Whatever optimization should have been done on those servers before reaching our phones.

Hello fellow XDA fanatics. I am currently developing a new rom I am calling Zendroid. It is a new Legend based build. I currently am working on making the port of the base legend rom stable and bugfree before I begin adding additional features.

I need some people willing to give this a test drive and report any findings. While this should already be very usable for everyday use, it is in it's beta stage and you should expect instability and other problems. I will send links via PM for the time being to willing testers.

Testers, I recommend a full wipe of everything before testing this rom. As always you should conduct a nandroid backup prior to flashing. WIFI WORKS!

Is there a preferenced ROM to flash this over? Original Root ROM image? Fresh? Modaco? Darch?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
You might wanna wipe and flash this rom. To avoid errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
You should nandroid and full wipe before flashing. This is a full rom, however you should be able to flash this over DarchLegend without a wipe since the builds are similar right now.

Also, be advised, this should look and feel similar to other SenseUI roms, I haven't done much customization yet. I do not want to make sure everything works right before I start making customizations and potentially mask bugs/flaws with new ones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CharlyDigital:
flashing now. I will post an update shortly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankd3ckskat3r:
ok first thing i noticed is sense takes foreverrrr to load.

time is defaulted to 24 hour format.

sense doesnt feel as quick as darchs rom.

i get the sign in error after rebooting.

led for messaging works,

friendstream works flawlessly,

some protected apps arent showing in market.

i cant test bluetooth cause i dont have a headset.

mobile networks force closes in settings,

camera and camcorder works.

if you need anything else tested let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
Must wipe coming from other roms, got error on install from Darchlegend 4.2.

Please remove the boot sound, it plays at full volume, not cool in 99% of the places outside of home.

Logs into gmail and facebook fine.

UI usage seems rather laggy.

Apps2sd working, protected apps working.

Typical English UK units for time, date, and temp, user fixable.

As already mentioned after reboot you are required to log into google again. BT works just fine. Protected apps a no go. UI Lag. FB sync is on point and pics look perfect. Used Titanium to restore and all went well with most of the apps. Texting working just fine. Report back after more use.

I'm finding the same as above (except that I am not seeing some protected apps, i.e. "Twidroid").

Additionally...

Time Without Signal problem (settings-about phone-battery-battery use-cell standby-Time without a signal 50%). Turning on Airplane Mode for a minute, then off, fixes it until next boot.

Bluetooth works

Wifi works

Apps2sd works (yay!)

Looks good obelisk. Nice start for sure!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
Flashed and booted no problems after wiping everything (even though others were able to get it to boot with wiping ext)

Initial Impressions

-A2SD works

- Feels like Stock Sense UI (I know you plan on optimizing this as much as possible)

- European defaults: not a big deal just would be nice to have one less thing to change.

- Like all Legend ROMs Facebook for HTC Sense takes a llooonnnnggggg time to sync with contacts from setup. Checked Friend Stream and only 103 of 176 friends are showing up.

-No protected apps in Market

Suggestions

- Remove Learn More, Peep, Search People, And Voice Recorder

- Include MoreLocale2, File Manager

That's it for now feels like a solid base to start customizing. I'll report back with more feedback going out to dinner.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dcdave63:
Installed, restored everything with Titanium, re-tried to installed protected apps, of course, nothing. Same market issues, mobile network FCs, etc... However, I do have more space (106MB, with 107 apps (market downloads and included apps). Speed seems similar to DarchLegend, but some of the animation stuff seems a little choppy, not sure why. Overall, the setup seemed a llittle smoother, less issues. No repetitive gmail login issues for me, luckily. Great job!

Would like appkiller installed, and same things others have said about MoreLocale2, etc... However, I assume you left as much out as you could to make this as small a footprint as possible.
