[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
holy ****, i wish we had a palm theme that was that functional.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] teddypepper52:
I have not tried app swipe. And im not the genius trying to port webOS, although that would be awesome. I'm really just looking to modify/ reverse engineer a little.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
app swipe sucks, i just tried it, nothing like webos cards.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DirtyShroomz:
Not close but show running and recent. Useful until you guys work your magic
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] XxsydenxX:
TaskOS is the only thing close to web os cards
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
Kinda exists already its called task OS in the market
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DirtyShroomz:
Btw with appswipe you can flick to kill too
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
too bad it's painfully slow to the point it almost locked up my hero. :mad:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] XxsydenxX:
It's rather zippy on my hero o.o.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dondadah88:
downloading now to see how it is.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dondadah88:
its slow and not very responsive. app swipe is better then taskos...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] XxsydenxX:
Heh, and i found task Os was fast on mine....perhaps it's the roms your using which dont agree with it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] troyboytn:
fast and very usable on Fresh 2.0d
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dondadah88:
Ic3 2.2v is what i'm using.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] XxsydenxX:
oh yeah AOSP port and what not.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] williscool:
Tried Task Os and AppSwipe.

Still want cards :(

Bad enough to even try and write it myself. Task Os is moving in the right direction though. Would just need screen shots of the apps and to only show whats running
[HD2 General] Earthbrain:
After searching for the best video player for the HD2, including trying CorePlayer (latest version) and the Smart Movie 4.0, I have finally come to the conclusion that the Mobile Window Media that comes with the HD2 is the best player.

Here are the reasons why.

1. Core Player cannot play the movie Transformers 2 that comes with the HD2 smoothly while the Mobile Window Media player can play it very smoothly.

2. Instead of paying for Core Player, use the money and buy the ImTOO MPEG encoder ultimate and convert the .VOB file in the DVD disc of your favorite movie and convert it to H.264/MPEG-4 video (*.mp4) with 800 x 480 resolution and 1500 bit rate and you will get a movie that is just like the Transformer movies that comes with the HTC HD2.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Hey mate,

Just FYI the Mobile Window Media player embedded uses hardware support for video playback. The Coreplayer has yet to do this so invariably it will suffer as a result..

Fantastic guide though...Thnx..

Don't forget an xda developer -projection has also posted a HTC HD encoder.

Not sure which of the two is better but still nice to know.. :)

:)
[HD2 General] wineds:
You can also use Handbrake (freeware) to convert directly from DVD to MP4 (m4v).
[HD2 General] shimmer401:
you gotta a link for that buddy?
[HD2 General] vponomarev:
I have the link for you, buddy: http://tinyurl.com/22vk95r
[HD2 General] ruffruff:
hi bro,

can you share the handbrake settings that you are using for HD2?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
I agree...

Using the HTC encoder from these forums today took too long and the quality was sub-par. With this program you can choose the bit-rate and the quality is sensational..

++++1 to OP

Kudos mate :)
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I really dislike re-coding my media library in advance of wanting to watch something on the go, and I find CorePlayer handles well with almost an XVID/Divx I drop it's way, at a very acceptable quality level.

It's my two biggest gripes with this machine:

1) Windows Media Player has such limited codec support.

2) HTC won't pay Qualcomm to allow other companies access to the drivers (I think that's the reason anyway).

Either way, it nearl put me off the HD2, until I felt reassured the 1GHz Snapdragon could make up for the lack of native support.

I used that encoder year's back for my Sony Ericcson, but again I'm not prepared to put that work in (not out of laziness, I just want to be ready to go at a moment's notice and not have to factor in half-an-hour per video - nor do I want to re-encode all of my thousands of media files :D)
[HD2 General] flyingscouser:
what you got Transformers 2 with your HD2? what the Duck!!!

hahaha
[HD2 General] karlpj:
I think that there is a big flaw in windows media player: it doesn't rememeber the position of the film. That means that if you close it the position is lost. I typically look the films in small parts, as logical in a mobile device. There is a plugin to solve this but it doesn't work.

This is not a problem in core player, but core player is a lot slower.
[HD2 General] Chastiser:
i use a divx player on my HD2 for all my movies - they play great.

Mike
[HD2 General] wineds:
I just use the iPhone/Ipod Touch preset. I think you can configure it for any output resolution you want though. The other great thing about Handbrake is that it can burn subtitles onto the video :)
[HD2 General] nagagaya:
hi

any body can send me link to download coreplayer for htc hd2 and divx player
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
Guys,

Try this out and let me know what you think about the video quality. I think it looks pretty damn good. This is the official DivX player - v0.94 (Released early 2010). The interface is very minimal but it definitely seems to be better than CorePlayer so far.

Please throw some quality high-res videos (800x480 and beyond) at it and post back.

If you guys can, it would be a good idea to throw in a few tests with Chainfire's D3D & OpenGL ES drivers.
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
If only WMP's "scale to fit" didn't cut off part of the video (we're talking resolutions that are LESS than 800x480).

That and the ridiculous audio lag on the HD2. I can't believe people can stand watching Transformers with that delay. Even from the very beginning where a fishing buoy is dropped into the water (and the splash is heard well after the impact, lol) all the mouths move well in advance of the words coming out.

It's preposterous. I'm holding out on the hope that Linux (accelerated) will eventually be the solution, in which case mplayer would be the "Best video player on the HD2" hands down.
[HD2 General] nagagaya:
thanks

thank you very much , any luck on team viewer for windows mobile version

any new software available for htc hd2

moreover, can i get advice that, whether video out is available on htc hd2
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
Confirmed!

This (DivX for WinMo v0.94) is MUCH better than CorePlayer. The video is very smooth, except for some very occasional freezing of the frames which is barely noticeable. I observed that only once though.

There is absolutely NO Audio lag. All my videos played fine except for one, but in this case, the audio played before the video randomly in some areas of the timeline.

I'm starting to wonder if this might be hardware accelerated.

@nagagaya: HD2 does not support TV-Out.
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
Woah, what a shock. I'll have to try this. I wonder when it was released, and for what devices...
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
Going by the file date from within the cab, the release is as recent as 25-MAY-10!
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Interesting... I tried it with three HQ DivX files, and they all stuttered and were jerky, compared to playing fine in TCMCP.

Ignoring playback, my general thoughts are:

+

I love the Video Browser - always wanted one of these (and would LOVE one as a Sense tab)

-

I wish the "Fullscreen" buttons etc were bigger.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stellarex:
I bought a HTC Hero off of eBay and the ESN number is registered to another Sprint account so they will not activate it.

Is there a way to change these numbers? I have a HTC Touch that I could take the number from so I can use the phone. Its a great looking phone but for some reason I cant use it on the network.

Any help in this situation would be great.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
I'm not sure if this is true, but I read once that it is possible to change it on Sprint.com in your account page. If not, then ask the seller to clear the ESN on it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstack77:
I would suggest not buying stolen merchandise...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3600:
If you bought it off ebay, let the seller know he left it on his account and that he needs to have it removed.

If he doesn't do it, it was most likely found/stolen and you can just request a refund and complain to ebay/paypal about it

As far as changing the devices actual ESN... that would just be promoting theft of devices
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stellarex:
It was purchased from a reputable seller from an estate sale of a business. They have a website with everything that they sell as well as a marketplace on Amazon. I'm 100% sure the item is not stolen.

This sucks though as I am without a phone until this issue is fixed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Then you're going to have to contact the seller and let them know to get that ESN taken off Sprint.

The signed zip is below. Flash it through recovery and you are set to go. Thank you Dankee and Jus10o for your help. :)

P.S. If you are feeling generous feel free to donate to the forum or one of our great devs who work hard to provide us with such great ROMs.

Thanks again Dankee for signing the three individual zips! Thank you Jus10o for signing the combined zip.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
upload it to tinypic.com or photobucket.com and then paste the {img} code one here.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
http://xs.to/ also hosts large .gif files for free without requiring an account or downsizing them.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Will they accept gif?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Here is. I hope you like it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Looks good! Flashable .zip attached if anyone would like to use it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] corybucher:
Oh, that is freakin sweet. Nice job!!!

Question for ya, how do you create something like this in PS. I am also a photographer and have done a lot of photo art in PS but if you could give me some pointers I have tons and tons of different ideas I would love to put on canvas.

If you could PM me I would very much appreciate it, Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Dankee - You Rock! Thanks!

CoryBucher - Check this out: http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/build-animated-gifs-in-photoshop/
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] corybucher:
Awesome thanks for the link.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Hmm. . . I flashed it and it popped up for a sec and then went black until the phone loaded. Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
I am also taking ideas for another boot screen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] corybucher:
How about one with the android peeing on and apple, those are usually pretty funny.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] corybucher:
I'm going to look through that guide and see if I can make one my self tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Great Idea. I think I will make that tomorrow. :) Check the top for the newest gif.

Dankee - can you re-sign with the new image? I took the gradient out of the background and made it a solid color. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
You cannot have any transparency in your image. I have compressed all your layers flat and gotten rid of transparency in the .zip below..it should work.

I will fix my first post's link also.

Check out the bootscreen thread here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661219
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
Link the picture and the download in your main post. So people can see them.

I just did what danknee did.. But he beat me to it.

Also the xml file was loading the boot2.img and then looping it. But there was no boot2 image so it was going to black screen. I think it was working without flattening it. Since he said it popped up and then when black.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
This gif image above will only load to black, it has tons of transparency. The gif is only rewriting the new parts of the image and the rest is transparent. You need to flatten each layer of the .gif and have zero transparency.

I fixed your new image and made it flashable in the zip below.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
If you have any transparency in the image it will show static or black screen only.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Thanks again, I will remove the transparency in the next one I make. You are awesome. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] beerock:
i like.... i like.... great work! I will be looking for the urination:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Thank you :) I may be refining this one in the future. . . we will see.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] OtisFeelgood:
I flashed the zip but I'm still getting my old bootscreen. How can I fix that?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bubbacs1:
Just FYI.......

I droped this into FreshKitchen "boot" folder and pushed it and it works great.

For those who don't or can't get it thru' adb, think about using Fresh's Kitchen.

Thanks,

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
This is classic. I don't know how hard it is to edit it but maybe on a future version you can have tears coming from out of the apple.:D

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Are you flashing through recovery or adb? I just flashed it a second time through recovery with no problems. I am no android expert, so i will look to others for advice on this one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] acheron1502:
The zip over on showthread.php?t=600902 is a Metamorph zip (which doesn't seem to be formatted for our phone). We would need to port the Metamorph over to our ROM or build a flashable zip with the gif image posted.

I'm flashing through recovery, but using the zip that I was pointed to for the peeing android.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
There isn't one for the peeing android yet. The one at the bottom of the first post is the one for the android with the scroller. The others are just GIFs right now, they aren't signed yet to flash. I am trying to get that done myself, but it is coming up scrambled on boot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Fixed the transparency problems in both the pee and bat gifs and signed them. Attached below. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
Thank you! How are you fixing the transparency? When I save these in Photoshop I have transparency unchecked. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
I optimize (actually de-optimize) your gifs so that every part of every image is written each time. You have them only writing changed parts of the original layer. The pee image grew 350% and the bat one grew 200% due to transparency being replaced with image info.

I'm not using photoshop, but the guys that are said you could save images optimized for mobile devices. I believe this will fix your issue.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Pushed and didn't work

I pushed these files through adb into /system/media/bootscreen/ and no go. should i push the zip file?

thanks for help.

i'm new to this whole thing, but am trying to do things more manually so i can learn about the process more.

thanks.

update:

i didn't push it to system/media/bootscreen only system/media.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
the signed zips you flash from recovery, like you do a rom.

and you may have to delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
1) You need to delete bootanimation.zip from /system/media

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

2) The gifs above have transparency that needs to be fixed or you will get a black screen. If you download the .zips they all have the repaired gifs inside.

3) The easiest way to use these is to flash the boot screen .zips from recovery. You will need to delete the file mentioned above, but once it is gone you can switch easily by flashing different signed .zip boot screens.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chfields:
Thanks...the peeing android is great.....................
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
No problem. Thank you Dankee. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Thank you! Keep the original gifs coming.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bernard_photography:
I still can't get rid of transparency on my gifs. I am able to sign them myself now, but I can't find a way to fix them. What program are you using? I am not finding anything on the internet about this.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Thanks for the info. I actually got it up and running, and after reading through this thread already saw that I needed to remove the bootanimation.zip file.

I appreciate your response. My problem was that the file wasn't in /system/media/bootscreen/ it was only in /system/media/....so I was just getting a black screen. A quick check and I realized my mistake.

Thanks again for your help.

Some great files here....haha
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
I am using Jasc Animation Shop and there are two steps to eliminating all transparency

1) File >> Preferences >> General Program Preferences >> Layered Files >> Check Merge Layers into a Single Frame.

2) I use the Optimization Wizard >> Best Image Quality >> Customize >> Uncheck every box except the first one >> Let it run.

From the other boot screen thread, guys are using gimp2 to see and fix the transparency issues and in Photoshop someone was talking about saving images in a mobile device friendly format (in options? I am unsure).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] beerock:
Ha...LOL I love all these bootscreens lately. Thanks Benard,Dankee and anyone else is involved. These are really going to get at my brother...:D

I'm running Fresh 2.0d but I got it working. To the OP, is there anyway u can combine both boot animations into one? Like start out with the Android peeing on the apple then it goes and get a bat and beats it? That'd be the sh*t. ;o

I just did it tonight. I dont know why i said tom, like it would take any time.
