Sorry I've been out of communication range, school's been killing me. I'm working on a properly sized-up version for the Evo. It has a little more visual "oomph" and takes advantage of the larger screen real-estate. I'll hopefully have it done pretty soon. The lwp looks great!
[Android Themes] jUbib:
It works nicely on my Milestone stock 2.1 placing it in /data/local instead. Thank you :]

Is it possible to "stretch" the pictures to take up space by manually resizing each image and changing the values in the desc.txt-file to "480 720 13p 0 0 animate" 480x720px?

Edit: Gave it a try - it did not work out. It just didn't show a bootanimation at all. Any suggestions on how to make it work?
[Android Themes] DocNinja:
I've bumped into similar problems, and I believe the issue is Windows encoding the text in a different format from the source file. Try using Notepad GNU. You also have to be careful that the zip file is uncompressed and is simply acting as a container. Be very careful with the zip settings; I forget it all the time and waste another couple of minutes getting my phone to boot so I can try again.

I hope these help!
[Android Themes] cabbieBot:
lovin it!

observation on fresh rom: after the htc splashscreen, the animation is very slow as the audio says 'fresh' then speeds right back up. surprised it still says 'fresh'
[Android Themes] Dreddge:
Dont wanna mess with ADB?

Download the file.

Rename to bootanimation.zip

Put on root of SD.

Open up Root Explorer, navigate to root of SD long press the bootanimation.zip file, and select move

Navigate to /system/customize/resource

Click Mount R/W

Click paste, and overwrite the existing file.

Reboot.

**NOTE: you may want to back up the existing boot animation first, in case you dont like this one**

BTW..GREAT work on this! Love it
[Android Themes] youngbasedgod:
Thanks!!!!
[Android Themes] DocNinja:
So, presumably the Sprint logo implies you (Dredge) run an Evo? If it works, that pleases me immensely! Again, I don't have one, so I was kinda walking in the dark on that.
[Android Themes] Dreddge:
No problem. I know how frustrating ADB can be...i avoid using it at all costs lol.

And yes..i have an evo. Can't verify this method will work on anything else, so try it at your own risk!

Can you tell me why I can't find /system/customize/resource on my Epic? It's rooted...but the folder customize doesn't exist after i get into system. I found /system/bin/bootanimation which has no extention. when i try to paste the bootanimation.zip in there it doesn't do anything. I'm so lost, please help. thanks buddy! also, i do have it on r/w so i dunno.
[Android Themes] m4rk0358:
Absolutely loving this. Great work!
[Android Themes] factualpuddle:
will this work on the Hero? and it cannot be flashed, correct?
[Android Themes] biggestmexi:
I am using a droid X

but i would assume it is the same for most droid models but you need to navigate to (in root explorer):

/System/Media

and that's it.

but make sure you rename it to bootanimation.zip

and you can just rename your old one to stockboot or whatever.

the EVO one looks great BTW
[Android Themes] timothydonohue:
love it! pushed no problem, but, i have to say that on the evo, the default desc.txt leaves it moving way faster than i like (camalot's gif is closer to what i was thinking would be groovy). so, i changed the desc.txt so that instead of 15fps, it's running at 8. much nicer.
[Android Themes] factualpuddle:
I downloaded the evo one, renamed it bootanimation just like the one in the system folder and used root explorer to paste it in there and took the original one out and now when I boot it just shows a black screen and no animation, did I do something wrong?
[Android Themes] evohack99:
Did you name it with ".zip" on the end? I'll try soon

I have tried with and without the ".zip". Is the evo one the right resolution to use for my hero? And the only place I could find a bootanimation was in system/bin
[Android Themes] evohack99:
Lol I'm new to this also, I found the boot animation on three diff roms and none of them I can edit. I may try on the computer tom. Them just r flash.

Okay got it to work, I was going into the rom on sdcard, you don't want too do that, go into systems, and go through the folder and paste away, kinda kool you can change cpu settings in there also

[Android Themes] factualpuddle:
I've tried both versions and all I get it the black screen now instead of any bootanimation :/ will keep playin around till I get it. Or someone knows what I did wrong haha

**Edit**

okay, i just flashed a bootanimation that worked before, and.. now it doesn't, it's like my bootanimation has been disabled..? any help?:confused::(
[Android Themes] timothydonohue:
you can't use the evo version on the hero, because they have different screen resolutions.

and, make sure (if you are using windows, and have file extensions hidden by default) that you haven't named it bootanimation.zip.zip, or something like that
[Android Themes] factualpuddle:
I don't think it is. It lets me open the archive and go through it. It seems like somehow my bootanimation has been disabled or something..?
[Android Themes] factualpuddle:
okay, updated to 1.9 and it did the trick. i loveeee it!!!
[Android Themes] m4rk0358:
Just flashed the new baked snack ROM and lost this boot animation. Is there a way I can install it again using terminal emulator? (Don't have my usb cable at work). I've saved the zip on my sdcard and I'm not sure what commands I need to type on terminal emulator.

[Android Themes] DocNinja:
****, I keep forgetting to check this. Super glad everyone has been enjoying it! Also quite glad the Evo version is fitting well and booting properly. I guess not everyone has a phone with the anemic internal memory of the G1. For everyone with issues, please remember to check the resolution of the device you want to install to and make sure you've matched the correct version. Good luck!

How did you get this to work?? Every time I try edit the txt file (change the 15 to 8 right??), I get a black screen instead of seeing the boot animation.

Any ideas? I have tried saving it in each encoding format that notepad allows me to, both saving it directly to the zip or saving it externally and creating a zip archive with no luck :(

The stock animation is a tad bit too fast for me...
[Android Themes] Syn Ack:

[Android Themes] ianreecej:
Great animation, i laughed so hard when i saw that. When will you be making another?
[Android Themes] ianreecej:
"Quote "titans10 - +1... anyone know how to slow him down? Quote"

extract the zip file on your computer. open desc.txt

you will see 320 480 13p 0 0 animate

lower the 13 which represent the number of pics per second i would suggest 10 or 11 maybe.

Then re-zip the contents with minimal compression (fast compression) and ensuring that it is a .zip

*it may be possible to edit that file without upzipping it but not sure*
[Android Themes] titans10:

I would really like this as a boot but the adb command dosent work for Kings Ultra R2. Any idea how to get it on there?

I saw on the Kings rom thread that the boot image is packaged differently so I also tried renaming the bootanimation to the PC36IMG zip and placing it in root of sd and then flashing it but no go. I have a moderate understanding of the android system, but havent used the sdk before now. Is it really even compatible?

Thanks.
[Android Themes] spotopolis:
Okay so after time I figured it out. If anyone wants to know the bootanimation.zip for the kings ultra r2 rom is in /system/customize/resources

i was able to push without being in recovery

adb remount

adb push c:\(location)bootanimation-evo.zip /system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip
[Android Themes] mr3sgte:
Awesome, thank you!
[Android Themes] CB620:
is there a way to add sound to this?
[Android Themes] spotopolis:
Yeah I did that. I added the whistleing song from kill bill while the nurse was walking down the hallway. (Twisted Nerve) I think it was called. The mp3 has to be named "SPC_animation_final.mp3" and place in "/system/customize/resource"

[Touch2 ROM Development] jennan88:
Hey guys, I've searched the forums but can't find an answer I really understand, I was wondering if someone could help me.

I bought an HTC Touch2 from Ebay and it has the Asian ROM with the PinYin keyboard. It's pretty annoying because I don't have access to the compact QWERTY or T9 keyboard, which I really need because I've got massive fingers.

I'd like to change my ROM to one that has all the keyboard options but I don't really understand the process...

1. What ROM would I need to change to? Will it work in my country (Australia)?

2. How could I do this? I know it has something to do with HardSPL but I don't know what to do and I'm terrified of bricking my new phone...

If anyone could help that'd be really appreciated

Cheers,

Jennan

Hi thanks for the reply, however that is not the problem. When using that "screen switch off button", the music does indeed not stop but it tends to skip and jump, almost as if I was running loads of applications and it was struggling to find the resources to play properly. I don't have anything else running and so this isn't the case. Im thinking it may perhaps be an issue with the custom rom Im using as the manila tab music player doesnt work properly either, guess I should try flash a different rom and see!

[Desire Themes and Apps] ingvarr_zaag:
As far as I know, there is only one option to connect to internet through PC. You can connect by WiFi, but only with Windows 7, because Desire can't connect to ad-hoc network.

[Desire Themes and Apps] vladpienaar1:
Thanks for your help!
[Desire Themes and Apps] HyperFire:
YES if you have windows 7 and wifi.

Sorry to bump this but was a big deal for me also and I found a solution.

I use a peice of software called connectify (google it) which uses some new part of windows 7 networking to allow you to turn your computer into a wifi router.

It even works when connected via wifi which obviously it pointless if you have wifi already. We dont at work so I use it then and have about 6 others connected from thier desires with no effect on me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ibraheeemz:
HI

I have found the solution to share PC's internet on mobile via USB. I am using ubuntu 10.04 and HTC dream with superfroyo2.2. I just did the following:

First of all, connect the PC to Phone via usb. and enable tethering on phone. (Don't panic. I am going to tell you how to do the reverse of it.)

Your PC will get the IP 192.168.42.37 and mobile will have the IP 192.168.42.129.

Settings on PC

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Above command will enable routing on the PC.

Now go to your phone via adb shell

and give following commands;

#setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

also need to set default gw using

# busybox route add default gw 192.168.42.37

by above commands on mobile you have set the dafault gateway to be PC's IP and also set the DNS.

and BINGO..your internet should work on mobile now.

If you still get some problem, then troubleshoot it step by step. First ping your PC from mobile and mobile from PC, both should ping each other and make sure, your PC is connected to internet and there is no firewall or antivirus on the PC that may block incomming traffic from mobile.

As a further test you can give following command to enable NAT on your PC:

// iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

I did not use this command and natting was done without this command on my PC, my be due to some error or other configurations that I don't know but its good for me that its working without it :)
