@bobtentpeg

You know I didn't see a problem there. In my test my phone doesn't even get through a whole cycle to recycle back to the beginning. But I can work on the loop transition if that is what your referring to.

@ Chosen_on184

The animation images involves 121 PNG files so it tends to be large. The size will most likely go down if I reduce to 60-100 PNG files once I settle on the feedback.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
Hey I checked out your files and you have part0 and part1 backwards. part1 is the one that repeats. so typically you build up your pictures in part0 then when it goes to part1 (the one that repeats) you would have a smaller number of pictures that give a (certain) effect by repeating...

now the number of the pictures depends on your rom (sort off) with 2.2, I don't get past 00075.png and with 2.1 I get as deep as 00135.png

you might want to keep this in mind so it will work good both (also you could just have the 2.1's repeat at 00100.png)

lastly, I think it might look good with some animated flames (see attachment) do what you want with them, its your vision.

keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zephyron:
could you get an animated .gif preview up?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DVS_Sokar:
@ogdobber

Thanks for the info. I will incorporate that into my next phase of development and look into the flames. I was so tired at 5am after being up 8 hours and working on learning new ways to expedite my work process that I put them in backwards. I will update it and reupload a newer version tonight. I am going to remove the legacy builds in the future and just maintain the changelog from now on.

@Zephyron

I will also put together a animated Gif. The speed in which the animation is displayed is also perplexing. Right now I have 1 frame per second but I think I may have to speed up the process by going to a frame every 2 seconds to show more movement in the animation.

@General

So my to do list tonight is:

- Correct the png files so they are in the correct folders of part1 and part0

- Work on image transitions so that when the image recycles it is seemless

- Work on reducing the over size by reducing the png's which in turn will speed up the animation of the image

- Work on incorporating the Flame effect discribed by ogdobber

Could someone breakdown what the varibles in the desc file are just for my better understanding.

Thanks all.. Keep the feedback coming I want to make this as polished as possible.

Quick Update:

I have just rendered a Eagle in 3dMax Studio and I am going to render it on fire tonight.. The process is long and tedious so I might not have it done tonight or even tomorrow.. But it should look damn sweet if I can get it done. Since I am using 3dmax studio it will be fully movable in anyway I want on flames.. Such as..

Wings flapping in a hover position .. On fire burning... ash falling from the tail.. Black background.. I can pretty much manipulate it anyway I want. maybe have a pile of ash and have it rise from the ashes to hover above... that would be sweet.. Anyway I am in learning 3d max so I will see just how far this will go. I can then export it to a movie and break it into frames in PNG format using my tools. I will leave the Last bootanimation up and just make this a supplimental bootanimation assuming the effect comes out the way I want.

I have a HTC HD2 and was wondering if it is possible to remove the Start button from the top left hand corner of the screen?

What you could do is use a blank .ico for start and remove the start text, the only problem is you may have the thin white line still as separator.

Hello guys, from around 1-2 Mounths my Volume Down Key is broken.. so its not totally broken.

I think from a long use of my Blackstone and alot of flashing that is the reason why Down is broken also its strange that is not totaly broken, you know that when you remove the back cover the volume buttons are really small and they look black like some kind of plastic so exactly the plastic of the down volume key is broken and now im able to see under that black plastic the metal.. so with fingers i can press it so i can flash new ROMs without a problem but didn`t work when the cover is there and the volume down button just can`t do anything.. i think that other users here can have the same problem because in all Blackstone this is the same material used and etc so if anyone have expirience like this or any suggestion how can i fix this will be very cool

thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
Funny, my blackstone has the exact same physical problem, making the vol down key more difficult to press, the lower half of the internal one that black plastic you mention on mine is broken.

I read in the hints of the blackstone wiki that if your phones under warranty you could try to get the carrier to fix it, but thats not an option for me since I pulled mine completely apart.

I think its best if you can substitute the broken plastic with something maybe, I really haven't bothered for mine since the button still actually works with the case on it just needs a firmer press.

I have repaired plastic damage on pc cases before (broken front door hinges and such), I just used superglue, some of those plastic 5.1/4" or the 3.1/2" ATA clips you get on some cases, and a stanly.

Im sure I could carve out a small piece plastic that would work.

If you really want to go one further, then what I can suggest is taking the two plastic back covers off your phone, and actually repairing the black plastic part on the back cover, my guess is you could use a couple of layers of heat shrink and glue and with enough time and effort achieve a good result, see, the actual volume button PCB hopefully isnt damaged for yours, as it isn't for mine, and if thats the case then its actually just that internal black cover that is a tiny bit broken.
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
:) I fix it today and i will explain how if anyone have the same problem to know what to do its very easy for around 1 minute work and now work perfect:

Because of the broken half plastic of the volume down button the problem was that when im with back cover and i press the volume down key didn`t work because the back cover dont button when is pressed cannot press the volume down button that is on the device.. because all is so tinny and this black plastic that is on the button is around 1/10 of the milimeter very very tinny but on the same time this is enought the button to cannot be pressed. So i remove the back cover and from paper tape i cut one litle squere with the size of the button .. but because the paper tape is really really tinny i put 3-4 paper tapes in one they to become more chik then i apply the paper tape exactly on the down button and then put the back cover so now when i press the volume down button work again because this paper tape help the button to be pressed :)

Very easy fix for 1 minute.. of course better will be if you don`t have problems like this.. but when heppan you know what to do:)
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
nice work! :)

Looking back at the images I took when replacing my touchscreen and lcd, I noticed that the part of plastic that does suffer the damage isn't actually a part of the outer shell casing, but is actually applied in some way over the top of the soldered buttons on the tiny volume PCB (& ribbon), therefore, you could always take off the shell, remove the pcb with tweesers, apply a small it of electrical tape, and put it back together to achieve a more permanent result :)

I should've done this when i fixed my screen, I might look into fixing it in the above way in the near future as the volume down button doesnt work that well currently.
[Touch HD General] Heart1010:
I did have exactly the same problem with my volume down key....

Because I still was in the period of the guarantee I sent my phone back to HTC repair center I get it back after 2 weeks with a new volume down key (they changed that broken very very thin plastic) and now it works again perfectly!
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
The question is if you have a Hardware problem like this broken plastic do u need to re flash to stock ROM when you are going to ask for repair? or when you dont have any problem with the device.. because the volume down key have nothing to do with the software etc do u can go to ask for repair with costum rom?
[Touch HD General] Heart1010:
No way ;) you always have to flash the stock rom (and stock spl!!! they check if "olinex" is there in bootloader!) when you send your phone to the repair center... so did I.

Although this broken vol key has nothing to do with the software the repair center has done a complete test of the phone. And this includes flashing the newest stock rom again. Yes, although I have flashed the latest official HTC rom when I send it to repair center they do that again (after they repaired my device)!! So you

always

get a completely blank phone back from this repair center.

(spoken from the repair center here in germany but I think this is always the same in every country)
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
I ask because here in Bulgaria i think we do not have official HTC repair center.. so when i buy the device from somewhere they give me 2 years waranty but from them i mean.. if i have troubles i need to go to the places from where i buy the device and they will repair it.. they will not send it to HTC official or anything else..

thats is the reason why i ask you:)
[Touch HD General] Heart1010:
same here in germany... i get the name/adress for this repair center from my shop where i bought my touch hd. And then I had the choice if I send my touch hd to my shop (and then they send it to this adress) or I send it myself to the repair center.

I think it'll be the same in other countries. HTC has "partners" in every country for such repair/warrenty things. For germany the repair center is called "arvato services solutions GmbH" (so not an official HTC firm I think)

I want to be able to use my network providers rom (Softbank) but add superuser access. Is this easy?

I assume I would need to root first by using a stock rom, but after that, could I use an OTA update file, modify it, and then update the stock rom to the provider rom (with added superuser account)?

Its probably the only safe way to guarantee that everything will work.

Thanks.

I got my EVO yesterday and have seen threads about water/moisture and the EVO.

when I had my HTC Touch Pro I used it in light rain and never worried about it , so , I am a little concerned about getting this thing near water.

Dan
[EVO 4G General] prestonr83:
I use mine in the tub. Well not really I used the kickstand and had it seating on a hamper next to the tub and watched some shows...lol. I wouldnt think it would be worse than a touch pro or any similar phone. it has very few buttons for moisture to get into I'd say as long as it didnt fall in water and it wasnt pouring down rain using it while it was sprinkling or light rain should be fine.
[EVO 4G General] xavier1022:
Caution

There is another thread started in regards to this, be verrrry carefull with moisture and WATER!!! Sprint has been sneaky about how they placed the water damage indicator right on the edge, and I mean RIGHT ON THE edge of the phone under the battery.. Ive never seen this before. Most indicators are placed behind the battery
[EVO 4G General] camdz:
I have been told numerous times by sprint employees that the phones are physically checked for water damage if there an issue. They wont always turn you away immediately just because a piece of paper turned red. They can tell if water got into the phone and caused whatever issue you are having.

I still wouldnt want to go in there with the strips wet, but it does ease my mind a bit.
[EVO 4G General] lettcco:
I wonder if you could put a piece of tape over the indicator and make it water tight? :)
[EVO 4G General] aragorn182:
I actually dumped most of a glass of water onto my phone without a problem.

What happened was I had my phone plugged in on my night stand and I went to set a glass of water down and it slipped. I'm not sure that the water actually fell ONTO the phone, but it was definitely sitting in a nice puddle for a second or two.

Luckily, I moved it away VERY quickly and there were no ill effects. Neither of the moisture sensors actually tripped.

However, this is making me seriously consider covering the moisture sensors with some tape.

What is the best Weather radar app , I need one that can zoom to the same sort of levels that I could get with Accuweather on my Windows Mobile phone. I currently am using Radar Now , which I like because it is very fast and gives me a good overview on the radar , but , there are times when I need to be able to zoom in much closer , with good definition than i can with that app.

TIA

Hi everyone!

Got this Miphone A3 yesterday, and I been searching like a fool after information about this damn phone but it ain't a easy thing to find.

But hey, what do you expect from a cloned iphone :)

So here's my question:

Anyone sitting on a Miphone and have you done anything with it, most imporant for everything, ROOTED? :)

Phone info on the phone:

Model number:

A8

Where I bought it, it said A3 on the site (mobino1), same on the battery.

But instead of the iPhone Ui it has the Android Ui pretty sweet that it didnt have the iPhone Ui.

Firmware:

1.5

Don't have Android Market app, but everything looks like Android, also works to install . apk apps tried to install apps from 1.6+ but doesn't work.

Kernel:

2.6.25

Build number:

Linkworld Project .0002_A.1_01r_100129

Been looking for that build number for a while now, don't have any info at all on that one.

Hope some1 here has some info, would be a blessing for me!

EDIT:

I found my way into what i think is the recovery mode, came up a where is said enter flash mode put in usb cable, with red background. Then when i did that, the screen turn blue saying "Enter Flash mode, Begin to flash image..."

Been reading a lot, and i never came up with that kind of "bootloader" just saying that

hope some1 could give me some tips :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azat182:
hi, one of the stores provided firmware from A3, I do not know how fresh. ussd queries are unsuccessful, after ussd calls to hang up. In flash mode turns pressing the upper side volume buttons and switch.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myellow:
thanks for that one!

flashed my phone, worked! but it wasnt the same version. this one was with the iphone ui (using ahome)

Model number:

A3

Build number: A3 Project.0001_18r_100411

Seems like my 3G connection does not work with this version. ussd, unsuccessful on this version too, same with previous version.

I was wondering, tried to open the one.bin (flash image) but cannot extract it. Any way to extract the image and try to reconfigure the build?

I too am with the same problem I have software for Tavor flashing but without success for updated the firmware is in a single bin file without being able to extract and modify

if anyone knows how do to then updated
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myellow:
I been trying to extract the .bin file MagicIso can read the file using it "missing files" but can't read the files when extracted. Trying to find a program that could read the rom file, have you done anything to update the phone? Do you have a rom file, if so could you upload it pls?

tried to get the firmware from mobino1 but they just ignore mig those bastards.

Do you want to flash your phone with the .bin file you already have or do you want to know how to update the phone to android 1.6+?

To flash your phone with tavor flashing software, you need to run the flash program in XP and press "volume up" and "power" on the phone to get to flash mode, then plug in the usb with the flash program open, and it automatically flash the phone.

About updating the phone to a newer version of android I have not a solution.

I been trying to, get info on the hardware so I could try to cook a own rom with at least android 2.0

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xift:
sorry i don't have the firmware as a rom file either...

and these mobino1 bastards ignore me too ^^

although they admitted they could contact the developers...

new firmware would be nice... or at least the current firmware.

I did not downgrade it yet and I think I won't do that.

Another problem could be that the bootloader only runs signed firmware image (just guessing).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ernest25:
I know how to flash I want is a newer room the problem these Chinese are not then updated dependent on us for a updated

(question) has a possibility to use, one firmware and change to a bin file to MiPhone a3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] myellow:
If they just told me straight up, we just sell the phone, we don't have any contact what so ever with the manufacture or developers I would accept it. But this just pissed me off.

I've been asking around on other sites that sells the phone, waiting on answers from them. Hopefully they are more friendly.

Don't downgrade, that was a mistake for me (the rom file azat182 nicely posted).

I tried something yesterday, made a own .bin file with android 2.1 but the flash program wouldn't start with it (parse ini error) so I tricked the flash program that it would flash the one.bin (azat182) rom file.

After it opened I replaced the .bin file with mine. Everything seems to work fine, did every step it should like, root system etc finished 100% when I tried to turn the phone on I couldn't, maybe it didn't know were the power "button" source came from.

The android source was made for an other phone, so I wasn't surprised.

Plugged the usb back in, and luckily the phone connected somehow with the computer so I flash it with the (azat182) rom and I'm back at square -1

but now I think, if I could find out the hardware/drivers on this damn phone it would work to cook a own rom using that method.

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nsigma:
Oh hey, someone else with one of these phones. I've been messing with mine for a while, started out with the A8 rom (from fastcardtech), and have flashed the A3 rom to the device. I've noticed that the gps works a lot better in the A3 rom than the A8, so it's not much of a downgrade, imo. Recently I've made some headway with an android 2.1 port to the device.

Anyway, this device isn't hard to root. If you adb into it, you can get root from the device by remounting /system as RW and pushing a fixed su binary to /system/bin, or wherever it goes, it's been a while

The MTD partitioning in the Miphone's rom is a big giant mess. The rom is split into 25 partitions, the kernel isn't in boot.img like it's supposed to be, neither are the kernel parameters.

The bootloader is dumb, it doesn't check for signed images. The A3 image and A8 image are both engineering builds.
