Three days after "purchase", and still waiting on my CorePlayer activation code!!!

Wow, this is absolute crap. I emailed them in regards to the activation code just prior to starting this thread, and I've yet to receive a response from them. If anyone besides vovobrewer and I have had this problem with CoreCodec please post your experience in this thread. They may end up stealing my money, but I'll be damned if I don't tell everyone and their mama about it and knock their rep down several notches for doing so! NOTHING WORSE THAN A THIEF, CORECODEC!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vovobrewer:
Six days after paying for coreplayer and I'm still waiting for an activation key. Emails are getting ignored. Maybe Corecodec have gone belly-up and taken my money with them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Uvaavu:
It's not a spam filter type issue on your email?

I got my code within minutes of ordering - the email came from : onlineorders@mobihand.com
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vovobrewer:
Finally after 7 days and many emails! And not even the slightest hint of an apology. Spam filter didn't get it, they were just that slow. I'll never buy another Core product or recommend them. I'm so over crap service.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Thats the sad thing, you do the right thing and buy it legitimately and they provide this kind of service. It should have been virtually automatic in supplying you a code.

Is it any wander many just search for a cracked version.

i check my balance today and i notice my landline minutes were being used. What gives? i thought GV is free.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Wasney:
I actually spent a few months figuring this out. If your dialing your GV number (to make a call or check messages), or have it set to show your GV number when people call instead of their number it counts as a landline.

If you are using the GV App to make outgoing calls it will count as a landline.

Basically the best setup is for GV to show the actual callers number on caller ID. So when you answer it will count as mobile if they are mobile or landline if they are landline.

No matter how you set it tho, at least for the few months I was trying things, any outgoing calls will be counted as landline.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] steb0ne:
That's true... yet I wonder now that u say that, if since Sprint doesn't charge to set ur call forward no answer number to ur GV number (so you can use GV as voicemail *28+GV number)... if those calls that get forwarded to the GV number get counted as a landline call or a call forwarded to voicemail... b/c I have my Pre set to forward calls to GV for voicemail; which then rings on to my Evo and I'll answer it sometimes.... I'mma have to check my bill, lol!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killa2009:
make sure you leave an update so we know if the call foward method works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ebuechler3:
ive been with sprint for seven months, and i use the number that shows up when using my gv # as my sprint to home #... yea it cost me five dollars a month, but i never go over my landline minutes..... aint no way around it... gv is not voip, and this was my only other option!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
landline eh?

if you are on a everything plan then conditional call forwarding is free...so if you wanna use GV Voicemail...

this info is months old hence November..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrjkwik:
I use google voice for my voicemail on my sprint phone (actually used it on 2 phones, both forwarding to the same account for voicemail, but dropped my second phone, so now just 1), and also for my business.

Here is my setup. on my sprint phone, it is set up to forward using *28. i dont answer, it goes to the voicemail, transcribes it, and sends it to my phone via email.

For my business, I use comcast voice. I forward my business line to my google voice line. my google voice line then forwards the calls to my cell. if i dont answer, it goes back to the google voice, takes the message, and sends it to me via email. if i'm unavailable, i just log in to google voice, and change it to forward to my business partner. for the weekends, i just send everything straight to voicemail by enabling busy.

no surcharges for anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
when I had the Incredible on Verizon, it was easy to setup GV as a "friend and family" number, and use it for all outgoing calls, and never burn minutes..cant do that with Sprint, unfortunately
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
GV should be free...double check tho
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
not true; On Sprint, it uses minutes, just like calling any other number..

Wouldnt it be cool to have like a super mario 3 or super mario world type of live wallpaper?

A level playthrough or something like that...

Anyone?

No.

It would be neat to have some classic video game Live Wall Papers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b9nez:
There is out run but you can't play it though... :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
seems cool. play through may seem tough but maybe havin him run past a level and have to option to auto jump to avoid pits and enemies and jump over stuff automatically or have the option to manual make mario jump by tapping the screen :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UKLooney:
Here are some background tilesets if anyone is at all interested

and some sprites
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:

can anyone please make it for us?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
yes i will defly pay for this and you can prolly make a good amount of money wit a good mario wallpaper! it brings back memories to everyone...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xXJay_RXx:
ew that one looks like crap
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I'm trying to make something like this. The wallpaper will basically be a randomly generated course with mario playing it very pro-like. Imagine TAS playthrough speed. Every once in a while the course will end and another will start with a different theme (outside, underground, castle).

Hope I can do it. I'm not very far anymore ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dfiestas:
It would be really cool, hope you can do it!

Something like a video playing in the background...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I'm in final stages of testing the wallpaper as we speak. The thing's a battery sucker (Mario's AI is not easy on the phone's processor) but it looks really great!

I actually often find myself staring at the homescreen, watching Mario play himself... :)

Will publish shortly. Will probably make a seperate thread.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] donchele:
If you do so, would you please advice us over here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
I've just released this live wallpeper. Have a look ;)

hey guys, I've searched around and tried some experimenting on my own to no avail.

I'm running DarchDroid 2.7 (btw, you SHOULD be running this if you aren't). It's pretty fricken amazing, the only thing I want to change is the haptic feedback on the lockscreen. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I have tried everything known to android to disable the haptic. I think you have to go in and replace the jar files in your framework.. I keep getting a bootloop as well. even in metamorph.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
What is the best backup method for the froyo roms we are all running?

I usually use My Backup Pro but it doesn't restore all my apps for some reason? Also used Titanium but ended up stuck at white HTC screen after a restore and even nandroid restore to clean rom install didn't work. Was I just unlucky once with Titanium? Can titanium backup SMS etc too I only saw apps it never restored SMS. Thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rudolfje:
Titanium Backup does it all for me.

SMS's, e-mail(accounts), wireless networks. (All apps, appdata and systemdata)

Can't think of anything it doesn't backup.

I always run a batch backup, this force closes running applications (although this is optional), so this might cause a white screen.

It's supposed to do everything you want, so there's no need to look any further (unless it really doesn't work for you...)
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Mate, whar version of MyBackup Pro are you using? I know that there were certain bug fixes after v2.3.3. Im using v2.3.4 and it seems to work fine when backing up and restoring apps/data.

Try the later version.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
2.3.6 so I guess it is some incompatibility somewhere. Just gone back to MCR 3.1 and it did the same. Probably less than half my apps were restored!
[Desire Themes and Apps] funeral666:
i can confirm that Mybackup pro 2.4.0 works flawlessly on froyo.. im backing up as we speank
[Desire Themes and Apps] dancedreamfly:
If you have the native A2SD enabled on FroYo, MyBackup Pro won't back up the apps that are on the SD card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
i'm using titanium, not had any problems with backups. i use A2SD+ not the froyo A2SD though.
[Desire Themes and Apps] barrons:
I use backup pro.

just make sure you have a partitioned sd card with can be done with rom manager or you will lose all your sd apps when you wipe before installing a new rom.

as i did..... haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
nice! thanks for putting this together! this should be the beginning of plenty sweet boot images!

new to the HTC fastboot methods ... any idea if there are any other methods of flashing splash1 from inside recovery or normal android? can the flash_image binary flash to splash1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Ahh ive been looking for something like this for awhile now. Any chance you saved the original splash image? I was hoping to use it in the second bootanimation to make it a smooth switch.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
Original

Forgot to include this, it is important

Original Hosted here http://okean.ath.cx/splash_editing/splash.nb0

right click and save as if it opens the file in your browser.

fastboot flash splash1 splash.nb0
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Aww its not an image? Is there any way to change it back into an image?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
Best I know

Not sure is my answer.

If you are handy with linux and android,

http://elinux.org/Android_Fastboot

From the recovery you can find these partitions, what to do with them, at the moment I have no clue
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
Not Perfect BUT

This is from the HTC BootAnimation, since i have no clue how to convert .n0 back to png, but this is close.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Not close enough for what I was hoping to do :/ Oh well, ill keep looking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ortizdupri:
Here you go, in BMP format.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Ahh yess i love you! haha. Il have a bootanimation out later utilizing it :)

Might I ask how you were able to acquire it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
this is perfect! the information is not for our phone specifically but it helps to understand the fastboot and phone interaction plus basic partition structure! of course, it raises more questions for me, but they're at least advanced a step which is definitely progress! thanks!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ortizdupri:
Through a pain in the ass. And lots of Google. And what not.

Basically grabbed the splash1.nb0 file from toast's RUU file, renamed it to splash1.nb, and used this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405118 to convert the splash1.nb to splash1.bmp. My goal is the same as yours - utilize a bootanimation with that as the starting image to jump off from. Luckily, I hope I have helped people out.

(Interesting note from the splash screen, the background isn't pure white, but is a shade of gray, one that continues on to the Sprint bootanimation background.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
So you are telling me, that that program easily turns and bmp to a nb also.... that one can than flash? that makes life easier
[EVO 4G Android Development] ortizdupri:
Yeah, not sure how well it works on the conversion back to NB, but it might be easier than some of the other methods I've read.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
I will let someone else test that out :-).
[EVO 4G Android Development] zgrieger:
Here's a clean and simple one I threw together today for those of us who are rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Xyber3364:
I like it. What I would like to see is some combo's splash1 -> bootanimation -> background to make it look as smooth as possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CYBERxNUKE:
here is a quick visual program i made.

I used the code for the G1 splash made by Koush.

open up image

preview how it will look

convert to raw file with correct filesize.

it auto resizes to dimension on the longest side.

then just fastboot flash to phone.

I might add a nb0 to bmp/jpg/png

--Included

Executable

Orginal Splash Screen

fastboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] ortizdupri:
I tried doing that on a bootanimation (as far as splash1 connecting in terms of design), unfortunately, splash1 cuts to a black screen before booting into the animation. I believe it's something like a quarter or half a second of black screen before the animation starts, nothing dramatic, but enough to be noticeable so it is not a smooth transition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Woovie:
Little something I threw together. :D

I am having trouble, when I try to run the fastboot command:

fastboot devices

just for a trial I get a windows message

fastboot.exe - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Any suggestions?

***EDIT***

Found the dll in the sdk tools and moved everything there

run the fastboot command and get this

sending 'splashl' <750 KB>... OKAY

writing 'splashl'... FAILDED <remote: partition does not exist!>

Got it, I was doing splashl instead of splash1

Please Assist

The files are without a doubt in my android tools folder, I have root I'm running Baked Snacks 1.5, obviously the issue is where it says "FAILED" and the reason for some reason is that it says "remote: not allowed" but how do i correct it is the question?

Some possibly helpful info:

1 - I took out the sdk folder during the root process to make it easier to deal with in the 2.2 root method, so C:\android\tools is the correct file path for what we are trying to access

2 - I still have the PC36IMG.zip on the root of my phone after root, was never told if i could remove it or if I want to remove it, have no idea about that aspect at all. Still a noob

***If anyone can help with this it is greatly appreciated***

Last min question that may be incredibly a stupid question. Don't I want to be pushing this file to the root of the phone and not just placing it in my tools folder? I feel like I should be placing these files on the root am I way off base or is the flash sequence designed to bypass the push?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckombo:

Below is the file and the error I am getting.

I extracted the file into C:\android\tools\.

Then I press shift and right click on the tools folder and choose "open command window here". I confirm that I'm connected to fastboot by typing "fastboot device" and I see my device name. I can also see on my Evo screen that it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red.

When I run "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.nb" I get the error shown in the attachment below.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
i can't even get to the point of confirming my device, see i can't even get there since my first cmd line is C:\Documnents and Setting\Tom Harman>, i put in fastboot device, and it says not a internal or external command.

[EVO 4G Android Development] _Cooze_:
I really do think I am.. I did the 2.2 root guide by Regaw.. with unrevoked3.. and I'm now running cm6.0.0 final... everything worked up untill the actual flash, although everything I've been seeing in this post is for .nb files. The splash I'm trying to flash is a .rgb565 file.. It's that splash screen with the bullet through the apple logo...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rene2.5RS:
you need to power down your phone, then holding down the volume down button hold the power button. this will pull up the bootloader screen, when you can press the power button while fastboot is selected. It should show fastboot usb, this is when you flash the file
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckombo:
