[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DeeBG:
You might of have caps lock on by accident, just keep a look out for that (some people can get bent out of shape about it... not me though, because I am looking for some sort of specs/guide for boot animations). So far I've only seen boot animations ported from other phones, which while cool, there is something special about making exactly what you want.

There is a lack of info out there (I believe), because this really isn't something meant for end-users (compared to creating backgrounds or ringtones). Feel free to PM me if you have info on creating custom boot animations (we need to celebrate the rooting of our beloved Incredible =p).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
There is loads on info on this stuff. You just have to search. Below is an example desc.txt file. This describes how to construct your desc.txt file and what everything does.

#example desc.txt

480 800 15
p 1 0 android
p 1 5 end
p 0 0 loop

The first line is Width, Height and Frame Rate respectively. The width and height do not need to be the size of your screen in case your frmaes are an odd size. The remaining lines describe your folders that contain the animations and what to do with them. Each remaining line begins with the letter 'p' as a separator. The first digit after the 'p' defines how many times to play through the animation. A zero (0) in that position will cause that animation to loop indefinitely until the boot process is complete. The second digit defines how many frames to pause before moving on to the next line or animation. The time elapsed is defined by your frame rate and the number of frames paused. For example, if your frame rate is 15 and you choose to pause for 30 frames, the time elapsed will be two (2) seconds. The last element in the line is the folder name to pull the animation from.

The pictures in your folders are the individual frames for your animation. They can be either .JPG or .PNG file types. If your finished product ends up being too large, you can usually reduce the size by converting the frames to .JPG format. The only other requirement is the file names must follow a sequential number sequence incrementing from start to finish.

If you wish to add sound to your animation, it should sync to your storyboard. The sound will start playing immediately after the boot animation starts and will play to either it ends or the phone finishes booting. The audio will not loop unless it is looped in the audio file itself. The audio file name must be named android_audio.mp3 for it to be recognized. The only other requirement is that one of your folders MUST be named 'android'.

It is important to note that when creating a boot animation, the finished product must be placed in a zip file named bootanimation.zip (with the exception of the audio file). However, when doing this always select the 'store' method for compression so the data is NOT compressed. If you mess up, you will know by the blank, black screen you see while booting.

Both the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 need to be pushed or copied to /data/local/ for the system animation to be overridden.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bowtieduece:
If you have pushed a boot animation previously do you need to remove it? If so what are the commands for adb. Thanks for the instructions they were very clear for us noobs..

I have a question.

I have Ferrari Gt, Who wants to be a millionaire, blockbuster, etc... in my memory card but I dont know how to my them quick links soo it'll boot up just with a quick link. The way I've been doing it is going into file explorer and booting the program up that way ... Is there a way to make quick links for these ???
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
click on any empty quick link, choose programs, then chose the games you want to be on there. easy as pie. or searching. searching is also easy too... try it sometime
[HD2 General] RippSpeed:
LOL... your funny ... Thanx for the help funny guy but its alittle harder than that...

The games I want to make a quick link for doesnt come up on select a program ... it doesnt have a quick launcher ...

I lost all my stuff when I burnt a custom rom in ... And I dont know how to make a quick launcher or quick links for programs that doesnt show up on select a program feature on the HD2
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
start - file explorer - browse to the program you want -press and hold the file - choose copy - browse to windows/start menu - click menu - edit -paste shortcut

now when you click empty quick link it will

show up.

[HD2 General] jason07:
I've had this same problem with different MicroSD HC cards (2x16gb, 1x32gb). I posted a question about it a while ago, and the general consensus was that they were probably fake cards (which is a possibility seeing as I got them off eBay).

I tried soft/hard resets, different ROMs, Active Sync/File Transfer connection modes and nothing worked... it mainly happened when I was trying to copy music. In the end, one of 16gb cards accepted enough of my files for me to get by, so I'm just gonna save up and go fork out for a legit MicroSD card from an electronics store somewhere. Might be the only option.

Google h2testw, that will help figure out if it's a real or a fake card. Good luck.
[HD2 General] mrxandx:
I could solve the problem by installing another browser and re-download the cabs, and it works perfectly thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dmlakers79:
Two days ago I was forced to do HR and installing everything from the beginning (including a program S2U2). Previously this program had a perfect set up there that everything worked as it should. Unfortunately, after HR had to set options from scratch since it abolished the settings file.

And here the problems begin ... see if I have locked the phone S2U2 program and comes to me is a combination of:

first screen (turns and shows the caller's picture) inform me of this after about 3-5 seconds

second ring with the vibration is also included in the time (despite setting a ringtone + vibration)

thirdly, when I answer a call by sliding it all hangs ... slider is not working, the game is still ringing, vibration "beeps", the keys to lock the phone (along with the key with a green handset). Only one I can turn off the phone by removing the battery.

And what is strange when you restart your phone, such a combination is not recorded in the history of the device (as if it was not at all).

What can I do about this? Do you have any solution?

PS. Just please do not force me to re-HR (the latter has already resulted in almost two days removed from the life of uploading and installing everything back on the phone)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dmlakers79:
After several hours of testing anything new did not work.

And I tried off the SENSE (on a clean windows), enabled SENSE but uninstall S2U2 still the same: when I receive a call the screen locks up and I can not in any way to answer this connection (shown a picture of the caller and a ringtone that lasts indefinitely until the remove the battery) ... Sometimes when I set S2U2 slider can receive and answer the call even talk during conversations, but everything is blocked and only helps to remove the battery.

I also noticed that it stopped working light sensor which is not to extinguish the screen ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
are you still on official 1.48 rom? i suggest you to upgrade to a newer rom and, if you go for a custom rom, make a task 29 before that. I think there is not better option, sorry. btw, it is only my opinion. good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dmlakers79:
You think so?

Previously (before HR) also had the same ROM, the same programs installed and everything worked well.

Or is it a problem or some settings SENSE software like S2U2, BSB Tweaks, XT Hacks2 etc. ...??

Well, but if only to help it load a new ROM to install the new Windows wchciałbym 6.5.x, the new ROM, the new SENSE etc ...

Can you describe the order in which what can I do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
are you using xt hacks2? leave that program, it may be the cause of your problems. still, you need to upgrade :)

i cannot guide you step by step as i'm not so good in english, anyway, if you go for custom rom first you have to HSPL your device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433

then you have to choose your rom, there are plenty out there, in the end you have to flash, it's not that complicated believe me, you will need 15 minute to do all these things. if you never flashed your phone you don't even need to perform a task 29 right now, just remember to do hard reset after you flashed the rom.

flash rom, radio, hspl are all done with same operations: plug phone to pc with activesync, launch exe files, wait :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dmlakers79:
Ok I understand.

But in what order do I install it?

First install the ROM, next RADIO , then WINDOWS 6.5.3 (I have Windows 6.5) and HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
:eek: windows mobile is already included in rom :)

1) HSPL

2) RAdio, this step depends on what custom rom you pick, there are custom rom with radio included, others without the radio (in this case you have to install suggested radio), see the rom thread for more informations

2) Flash rom

3) hard reset

take a look here, there is a tutorial for noobs

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

easier way? install a stock rom 1.66, you don't have to HSPL and worry about which radio choose, it is all included ;)

[HD2 General] MoHed:
My HD2 works (reasonably) well, but I have noticed that if I soft-reset while connected to AC mains the boot sequence gets out of control with apps producing errors and a failed boot 2 times out of 3. This happens even on a fully charged battery when connected to AC adapter.

Booting on battery power never produces this problem and is (almost) always successful.

While this is not really a large problem, has somebody experienced this and could any of our XDA uber gurus expain this.

[HD2 General] denraweb:
Ok, not sure what its called but I looked up both "windows mobile 6.5 messaging" as well as "sense 2.1 messaging" and didn't find what I had on my touch pro 2. As you guys may all know, the messaging is slow for the hd2 when you get more than 20 texts for a single contact.

Well I tried zeenys (sp?) htc disabler but I dont like how it reverts to a list of all texts, rather than have them organized by contact (threaded i think it's called). What i'm looking for is messaging that was on my verizon tp2 where it would only show like 10 messages, and gave you a link to see older messages (again 10 at a time)... Is this possible on the HD2? Couldn't this be like ported or something from the tp2's rom?

Also you would get here on the touch pro 2 by selecting "all messages" rather than clicking on the message in the preview part.

Anyways, heres a screen shot of what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/advice.
[HD2 General] jdl1681:
I believe you can only get to that with some of the cooked roms with HTC messaging completely removed. That is Windows Messaging without any of the HTC stuff. Even if you use the disabler there is still some of the HTC software embedded .

I run Kumars 2.0 prem without HTC messaging and I see that when i click all messages and open a persons thread
[HD2 General] mastajest:
I recommend the Energy rom. It's got sort of a hybrid, which I think is well balanced. Also, the messages are threaded and only show like the picture you included when you open the thread.

Link to that rom? Can't find it anywhere.

hi everyone, today is the 3rd day and 1st time using android phone. im a super newbie here.

first my desire has already rooted. done myself yesterday.

today, i follow an instructions of how to a2sd which link over here

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

6. Install Apps2SD

Put your Goldcard into your phone and turn on your phone

Attach your phone to your PC via microUSB cable (harddrive mode).

Copy the r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip file you downloaded earlier onto your Goldcard sdcard via your phone.

Turn off the phone and unplug it from your PC.

Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.

You will see HBOOT on the screen.

Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.

You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable.

Double click on recovery-windows.bat inside the pushfiles_windows.zip folder you unzipped as part of the root process.

Looking back at the Desire, you'll see that the red triangle screen is gone and a greenish recovery console appeared.

Using the optical trackpad select Wipe > Wipe data/factory reset

After this has completed do Wipe > Wipe cache

Again, once this has completed do Wipe > Wipe Dalvik-cache.

Next select Flash zip from sdcard and select r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip.

Once flashing is over, select the "Power off" command.

Unplug your phone from the PC, and replace the GoldCard sdcard with your normal sdcard.

Remember to have backed up your normal sdcard before proceeding, as the next step will wipe all data from it.

Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.

You will see HBOOT on the screen.

Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.

You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable.

Double click on recovery-windows.bat inside the pushfiles_windows.zip folder you unzipped as part of the root process.

Using the optical trackpad select Partition sdcard > Partition SD

Select SWAP=0, EXT2=512 and allow the rest to be FAT32.

Select the SD:ext2 to ext3 option in this menu.

Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select Reboot system now. While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.

And thats it! You now have a rooted Desire with apps2sd. Get in!

i did exactly the instructions. when do the last steps/reboot system now. it stays at HTC white screen. then i tried lot of ways to restore to original ROM///whatever... all failed.

and i can't go into the green recovery mode! thats a tragedy. could anybody experts in the forum help me out? all i want is just go back to the original ROM. thank you.

my phone was bought from clove.

Hi All,

I'm running WM6.5 with IEMobile 6 and Opera 10.

I use Opera for general web browsing, and want to use IE for watching streaming TV channels from my carrier (Optus). I've made manual tweaks and have it working, but now I'm getting lazy. The one tweak I still need to do manually is setting the default Network Connection to a WAP one (which is a little buried to say the least) and needs reversing when wanting to browse normally again.

I want IE to use a non-default network connection, something I believe was possible in IEMobile 5.

There's nothing in IE's menus, so was hoping for a tip in the registry area. Advanced Config doesn't have anything relevant to this.

Thx.
