Hi Laurenti. I dont understand why, but probebly is this problem with new feature: EXTENDIR. I cant install IGO8 on your V6 but it works well on V5 so I had to take back your V5.

Do you have any idea why it does not work in your latest great ROM?

Bluetooth & Remote Desktop

Hello Laurentis, I've been using this rom for several hours and I'm starting to love it.

I have no bluetooth icon in the upper bar when it's on :confused:

Thank you so much.

Mazourek, iGO 8 runs fine with this rom. It can be run directly from the SD Card, whitout the need to install it.

Hi,

I found a bug in this ROM, the phone won't auto-turn off even I set it turn off after 1 mn.

Themes

I have installed the designer themes you can find in this forum

(search for "[THE] Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes " I can't post the link because I'm new)

But when I load any theme except yours, all screen is mangled. When scrolling it looks like the screen is not refreshed, and menus loose the customizations...

I'm sorry, i can't explain it much better (i don't have a very good english)

Any hint about what can be causing this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kaybest:
Rom is 6.5.5

This Rom is 6.5.5 not 6.5, I think you should find 6.5.5 themes and see if there is this type of problem.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] romuald123:
Laurenti,we can look forward to the new build 23670 ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
23670 is 6.5.3 not 6.5.5

at least to me, it turn off. someone else can confirm?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
From what I know it's part of the dialer. Maybe it's a bug of dialer. Try another dialer and see if work.

Edit : someone who uses my dialer cab can tell us if there icon.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mailings:
To me, the phone turns off without problem.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mailings:
I've Installed your dialer and the icon is there.

I do not need video calls, so do you know any other dialer that could work with your rom, even in landscape?

Thank you.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ted presley:
I have installed your video call cab in the 1st post and I haven't got any problem with Bluetooth icon at all.

P/S: The only problem I have is just I can't save new contact form number entering using this dialer (when I press number and choose save to contacts, a new menu appear, but can't do anything...)

Bluetooth, returing back from silent mode

Hi Laurenti!

Congratulations and thank you for providing such a nice and lite rom, I am visiting XDA from the last 3 - 4years, changed many roms from SP5, Jas Jar, HTC Touch & Xperia. I was amazed with the speed and cleanness of the ROM when I installed your ROM first time on 12th May 2010, Superb swift response, all unwanted things are out. Day before yday I downloaded the latest version of your ROM and this is again awesome job.

I am facing couple of problems on bluetooth and battery please help me in fixing it.

Somehow when I retstart my X1, battery drops from x% to x-20% almost everytime. Is this problem related to Battery or somethisng else. I purchased this handset sometime Jan 2009.

Another problem I am facing is, Bluetooth : I have plantronics bluetooth device, it works well with other phones very well but with my X1 it does not transfer the calls to bt device, I have to press button on bt device couple of time to transfer & backforth from phone to bluetooth and vice versa & someitme it works. I have no clue why it happens. I purchased this bt device couple of month back and I dont have experiance on another roms except yours.

Another Issue on new latest Rom (30.05.2010, V5) is whenever I switch ringer to silent mode, sometime it does not go back to normal ringer despite of showing all the volumes on max side.

I appreciate if you can help me on this.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] laurenti:
I haven't this issues with battery and volume.

In terms of Bluetooth, I can't help you, there may be some incompatibilities. What other phones works? Windows devices?

Data Connections

I've been trying to configure my phone to access Internet, and to download MMS messages, but I receive an error every time y try to establish a data connection. "Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings, if the problem continues, reset your mobile according to your manufacturers documentation and try again".

My carrier is Telefonica, any hint about what may I have wrong?

Edit: I have flashed another rom and checked data connections to be sure that my phone/sim/settings are ok and I have been able to connect without problem, so I have some trouble with this rom

Can you help me to solve this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mailings:
Fixed

I quote myself...

I've finally managed to solve data connections to Internet (I still have to check MMS reception) I've installed HTC_Connection_Setup_v1.5.37142.1.cab (found somewhere in this forums) and let it configure connections. After that Internet connection is working!

Plese, Laurentis include ConnectionSetup_1_5_37635_1 cab in your next release, or if possible post a cab.

Thank you.

To avoid BT incompatibility, I bought HBH-IV840 BT headset by SonyErisson, and flashed more than 10 different ROMs in the last two years, all ROMs works with BT, but has reconnection issue.

I use BT when driving car, no problem to power on BT headset to connect my X1i, but BT will lost connection if I leave out the car for about 5 meters distance, and it would be difficult to reconnect after I reenter the car, I have to power off the BT headset and power on it again to get it work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bpratap:
hey ya this battery drainage problem is with me also, and even my battery doesn't gets charged even if it is plugged in for 5-6 hrs or even the whole night.

when i saw the battery charging level in sktools then i came to figure it out that the current input is sometimes about 400mA to 600mA but it after some times drastically reduces to a minimum to 7mA also, then it also increases but but is not able to reach on a greater mA level and it only remains toggeling between 35mA to 200mA.

what can i do Master Laurenti to solve this issue.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kaybest:
I noticed the battery is draining fast too, after installing many different softwares, so what I did was to follow the link to EXTENDIR thread, I learned how to use the software because its great feature is to increase the battery life, I used Extendir

Preset Installer

to install all my cab files.

What I get as a result is unbelievable increase in battery life.

I hope this help you.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Khung Long Con:
Thanks for the light ROM.

I just got a silly problem. I locked my device and don't know how to unlock. I tried many hard key even the "key"/turn off key but it can not unlocked. I soft-reset but still failed. Would you please help?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ted presley:
Which one do you use to lock your phone? The defaut in the ROM or the WM 6.5 lock? A screen shot will help I think.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tomo Magas:
Download "Lock_Screen" connect phone with pc and copy Lock_Screen. use another phone to call for a locked phone. During the call, the screen will be unlocked and this time install Lock_Screen. uses a soft-reset and unlock your screen

I'll make a cab.
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
This is a tool for windows that will allow you to preview a boot animation (bootanimation.zip) file before applying it to your device. If you have the SDK in your environment path, it will also allow you to apply the boot animation to the device. I have tested about 50 boot animations and only had 2 that wouldn't load, and they didn't load because there was an invalid line in the desc.txt file.

Requirements

.NET Framework 4.0

Windows XP or later

Android SDK added to Environment path (to set the boot animation on the device, if you don't have it in the path, you just cant set it from the app)

Boot Animation files to open (you can pull one off your device @ /system/media/bootanimation.zip)

This is the dialog to create an animation, it takes a directory, analyzes the "parts" and creates the desc.txt from the values entered in the property grid. Then asks where to save the animation and names it based off the name of the folder.

The other feature that BAP offers, is the ability to export a boot animation as an animated GIF. It will try the best it can to create a gif that will do the animation justice. The export can take some time, and can be somewhat large, depending on the number of images, parts, and "loops" of the boot animation.

Below is an export of the CyanogenMOD 5.07-test2 boot animation

Here is the download for this boot animation, I do not remember where I found to, so if you created it please let me know and I link to your thread instead.

if your interested in more boot animations, here is my skydrive with all the boot animations I have. there may be some dupes in there.
[Android Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Thanks very much for this. It will come in very handy.
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
I've made some updates to the application. It now gives you more control when exporting to a gif, you can set the quality and set how many times the "infinite loop" section should loop (if there is one that loops forever). These settings can decrease the size of the file, plus the amount of time it takes to create the animated gif. The better the quality, the longer it will take to process, also the more loops, the longer it will take and the gif will be larger.

See OP for new download.
[Android Apps and Games] PeRRiiN:
Is it possible for you to upload the boot animation of the green android on the second GIF? I loved it and i would like to put it on my phone without flashing CM 5.0.7 (i have 5.0.6 already)

thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Armando Penblade:
I may just be misunderstanding how to operate this, but I unzipped the .exe to my sdk tools folder (where adb is located) and ran it from there, opened a random bootanimation, and then hit the phone icon. windows requested permission to run adb, so it appears to have found it, but when I rebooted the phone, my animation was unchanged.

Do I need to have the phone booted into recovery for this to work or have the .exe extracted elsewhere?
[Android Apps and Games] TheSSJ:
AWESOME! It's been an eternity of searching until I finally found this tool allowing me to export zip contents to gif! Thank you!!!
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Is this for android 2 and newer versions, or it works and for 1.5, 1,6?
[Android Apps and Games] PeRRiiN:
Bump,

Did the OP left this project or something?
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
sorry, im gon bump this also, but i sent an animation to my phone and it works. but when i flash new roms with diff animations... the animation doesnt change.

i want to know where it gets stored when its sent via the program. i searched in /system/media but the animation in there is the one from the recently flashed rom, and not the one i sent using the program.

so im kinda stuck and wondering now...
[Android Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
I would try checking /data/local/, as far as I am aware that is the only other place it can go.
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
well, i forgot to mention that... but i used 'astro' and 'andexplorer' but nothing was inside /data folder. so dunno whats up with that. dunno if its the app that doesnt actually show the files or what.

i havent really used adb to check it tho, cuz im not 2 sure how to do it either but... i dunno...
[Android Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
Those aren't very goof apps to be using as that is the problem. I suggest using something like Root Explorer or SUFBS instead, they are root file explorers.
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
sorry, i dont check this thread that often. Yes, it puts it creates /data/local/bootanimation.zip

If you cant find it using any file explorers for your phone, from a command line you can do

adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
[Android Apps and Games] GLa'DOS:
Thanks very much!

Now I can prview it in full quality and see if it's working!
[Android Apps and Games] jakijal:
thank you. i did get root explorer and was able to remove it through that.
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
Boot Animation Preview 1.5 uploaded and added to OP. This has some minor fixes in the animation algorithm and other little tweaks.

The main feature added is the ability to take a directory and turn it in to an animation. It will read the directory, and the "parts" in there. Then it generates the desc.txt from the values entered in the dialog, like FPS, size etc. Then it zips up the directory to a file named after the base directory.
[Android Apps and Games] xidominicanoix:
I would love this boot animation as well ... could you upload it please? :D

EDIT: couldn't find the exact one but found some like it here

Any chance of a Linux version of this program (Or at least one that runs in Mono)?

Ok, so it seems that since the application is targeted towards .net 4.0 which so far only SVN Mono supports. Is there something specific in .net 4.0 you are using in your app, or could it be compiled for .net 3.5 so it would (potentially) work in Mono as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Niksac:
Thx a lot - great Programm!

Opening the same animation which is already loaded will cause the program to crash :(

[Android Apps and Games] PeRRiiN:
bump?

Does anyone know where i can get that boot animation?
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
I will see if i can find it, i know i have it somewhere, but i dont remember where i found it.

Once I get my laptop back up and running with ubuntu, I will see about building it against mono. There really isn't anything that specific to 4.0, its just a couple methods that make life simpler like IsNullOrWhitespace, instead of IsNullOrEmpty and I think i make use of the Path.Combine(params object[] args) instead of Path.Combine(String,String) because I am combining more then 2 to build the path.

It is all stuff that I really don't need 4.0 for, but was too lazy to write the extra code. :)

Green Android found at last!

I am a complet noobie and this is my very first post.

Thanks camalot for the great Boot Animation Preview app.

I checked out Your "here is my skydive" link and found the

little green android everyone has been asking for.

I have attached the file below. And as camalot stated at

the beginning of this thread "If you created it, please let

me know and I will link to your thread instead."

I have the HTC EVO and finally decided to root it.

Started research two days ago and now I'm rooted with

unrevoked running SetCPU, System Panel, Super Manager,

JuiceDefender, Startup Cleaner, Titanium Backup, Astro,

Wireless Tether, Uninstaller for Root, eFile, and

Superuser Permissions. I also now have a new splash screen

and boot animation. I have tried to test all my apps thorougly,

and everything seems to be running stable.

Very fortunate as I only had a few minor problems getting

to this point and did not have to post any request for help.

A true testament to how much useful information can be found

in the xda forums if You are willing to do a bit of searching.

SUPER THANKS to all the GREAT DEVs for doing all the really

hard work, and making it SOOOOOO easy for us Nooobs.

Pls read this before making your own boot animation zip file:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html

You have to create a NORMAL zip file with the allowed format.

In your zip file, i think there are some mistakes in set the folder name (part0, part1 for android and part1).

Then in the desc.txt there are mistake too, this file outlines how the animation progresses and a sample is as follows:

512 256 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

'512' is the width of the animation

'256' is the height of the animation

'30' is the desired fps of the animation

'p' defines a animation part

'1' how many times this animation part loops

'0' defines a pause (max 10)

'part0' is the folder name where the animation images are

'p' defines another animation part

'0' defines that it loops forever (until android starts)

'0' defines a pause

'part1' is the folder for the second animation part.
