CHANGE boot animation to stock(htc stock not tmobile) or nexus

I have been playing with boot animations for this particular rom (I got burnt out on "DROID!", lol!). It's been a pain because you have to make a gif and in the end after all those stupid pics, it didn't work (it said it pushed but it didn't stick and yes system was mounted. Well, I tried the boot animation zip and it didn't seem to work (it did replace the droid with stock android text animations from most roms it you've seen in the past no mater what animation you use.) Well typically, you put bootanimation.zip in /data/local. That will remove the droid animations and replace it with stock android animations(not stock tmobile!). But on this picky (but the best!) rom, I finally found the right place, system/media (duh!) well, boot animations that are more made easily with this method and you can cut out what you don't want without all those slices in photoshop. so whatever plus my gif failed, lol.

point is here's a boot animation (nexus with out the android(trashcan) popping out each side of the phone. just the colorful X and the htc logo. I didn't make it obviously just edited it so I can claim not true credit. whatever, hook up your tele, copy bootanimation.zip into sdk tools directory, reboot in recovery via clockwork, mount system, adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

If you don't want nexus boot animation and just want standard android animation (android flashing/animating)... adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local. YES you use the SAME BOOT ANIMATION. I don't know how it does it, but TRUST ME, it works! Enjoy!

1st I'd like to show some gratitude to all the brilliant minds here on xda. lets not forget the ppl who buy mountain dew by the pallet to stay awake & get all this great work done.

so i have all my apps in my app manager & i seen migueltherocker comment about it would automatically install onto my SD but since i already have them in my app manager would i need 2 re-download em all so they would install on the SD or is there a working apps2sd so i wouldn't have 2 do that?

i sure its something simple I've overlooked. :-( please forgive me if it is, I've been up for 21hrs now & are getting past me that normally wouldn't. thanx in advance 4 any help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
This rom is very old and may not have apps2sd in it. Apps2SD works by using the phone's ext partition to save apps from the market and other apps from things like titanium. I recommend you try a nightly, CR's OTA, 3rd sense, liberated slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] htcrhodium:
(o.O) wow!! and here i thought i'd have to wait all night to hear something :-D the apps2sd would of just been icing 4 this rom really. i mainly jus needed 1 that has bt working. my state banned cell phone use during driving unless on bt. thanx for the info tho. im gonna work my way through em.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] spiffmonkey1:
Thanks work well
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] htccraze:
I know this rom is pretty old so if I dont get a responce right away im aware there are other things that occupy your time. this still is a great rom...one of the most complete all around & i've been using it as my daily rom now for close to a month after trying just about all of them. A+ on doing this rom correct!!

well i ran into some problems today & im not sure whats going on & i would greatly appreciate any help from anyone here on the site. i went to do a nandroid restore and the screen just comes up white & stays like that. when i tried to "wipe data/factory reset" i get this come up:

E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(No such device)

Error mounting /sd-ext/!

Data wipe complete.

NO file in the nandroid backup works now & i tried all of them. some get stuck on boot loops and the latest restore point is nothing but a white screen after flashing. I have a couple roms on this sd card & tried flashing a different one & was unsuccessful so i downloaded a new rom & put it on the sd card & was able to flash the new on the same sd card so I know its not a dead sd card.

i already read through countless pages to try & find any help i could on why this is going on. i do wanna add by mistake i deleted a file i thought was a rom i didnt use...but after deleting it is when it went 2 utter @#%&.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] skuidkid:
I actually get the same error when doing a nandroid back, but when i restore everything goes back to normal, i don't see why you would get white screens or bootloops. are you wiping before restoring your backup?

are you using the original sdcard that came with your slide?

I'm using the original, which i partitioned through rom manager and after getting the same error you're getting, i partitioned the old fashion way through adb.

but I'm still getting the error:

E:Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(No such device)

Error mounting /sd-ext/!

so pretty much what that means is that our ext partition isn't being recognized, and i don't know why.

Maybe it has something to do with the original sdcard only being a class 2 sdcard?

As for your nandroid restore issue..... try wiping before restoring your backups, the error you're getting shouldnt affect you're backups since its about you're ext partition, which since you're getting that error doesnt even exist in you're sdcard.

hope that explination helps :)

Keyboard backlight doesn't work, and corporate directory closes when I try to access it.

If the original SlideM had a2sd it would be perfect. Nandroiding back...

After you guys use this ROM today report what the battery life is like with the CPU freq set to 1Gz?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] squidbutt:
can someone post a working version of swype for slidem?

i need it for driving

and the version i got off the website dont work :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
Trying out this rom and i like this one so far. I applied the update after installing SLIDE MR1 the only thing i get a FC on is when using the messaging app. if i slide or close the keyboard when on the screen where im typing a message it FC's. If i open up the keyboard first then bring up my screen to type the message it doesnt FC. something minor but thought i mention. You also cant select a photo for the lockscreen which is also something minor im guessing the 3d gallery being incuded just give that option.

I def like the blend in this build. It moves pretty quick i must say. accessing apps in the market even move much faster for me then on the other roms. the apps2sd installed no problems all my apps from your slidemeroot5 r1 showed right up on boot. Great work
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:

Reflashed error is:

we can overclock now?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhilgeman:
The cpu freq are set in spare parts app.

I'm not sure if the CPU is truly overclocked since we afik don't have the source for the kernel to create an overclockable kernel. It may be a facade in spare parts. I'm not using this ROM right now, but you could probably download SetCPU and have it scan for available frequencies and see if 998MHz is available to test this theory...

Is there anyway to sync Facebook contacts? Tried adding in the HtcFacebook.apk but doesn't seem it will even recognize the file after installing. I rely heavily on my Facebook for the majority of my phonebook.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Trying to fix this myself. The solution MAY be to download the Facebook for Android app from the market and use Firerat's Dream fix. Highly unlikely it will work, though.

Step 1 - Root the Slide & Other HTC Devices*6/15/2010*

This is the hardest item, I spent 9 days before I got it to work....no one way worked just kept deleting drivers and re-installing until it took----only do this ONCE or you may lose root until you spend the 9 days again...<grin>...

Step 2 - HOW-TO * Flash the Eng-Release to the Slide

only have to do this ONCE then delete ESPRIMG.zip from SDCARD

Step 3 - Updating the Radio

Step 4 - Flash ROM (currently SLIDEMEROOT5r1)

http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_developer_display.asp?developerid=57#290

BE AWARE each time I want to flash/nandroid I have to kept the update.zip on the root of the SDCARD

(otherwise kept losing root trying to follow the previous Step 1 to get into clockworkmod, if anyone knows a better way please say so)

then adb remount

then adb reboot recovery

then update.zip into clockworkmod

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sk8rbebop:
Damn this ROM is quick, lol. But here's me list of issues and/or wishes.

Unable to switch the Lockscreen

When Selecting Wallpaper From a long press on screen 3D Gallery Doesn't detect the SDCard... (Select the camera button a couple times cause FC's and eventually it will load)

I miss HtcFacebook syncing! I know it requires FriendStream, but since we have the Slide Contact list might as well have the sync option. (I NEEDZ ME FB FIENDZ)

What happened to the OG Music App and the icon for the camera and camcorder?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Saneless:
While using throughout the day phone began to reset to the boot screen and would reload everything once everything was reloaded it would continue to happen...

Gonna have to nandroid back to slideM now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarfreak846:
How do you change the lockscreen wallpaper?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Guys... Regarding the Lockscreen. It was only Added until I get the eclair lock screen Fixed. It's not even about of the Rom!! Please Deal with this until I get it Fixed.

Next: Why is everyone so Dead Set on have the Espresso App's? So I'm not sure why it's that Big of a Deal?

Also, If you are getting FC, Did you wipe? Did you wipe the EXT * partition as well?

I've been using the Rom all Day, the Issue's I have Found is

Browser Download is Broken, I can fix this, but we Lose Flash support!

If you Changed out the MSM package, I will not listen to you complaints & error's.

Also, After a voice Mail you get a Txt Notification!

Regarding MSM App... I said to Open the Contact before sending...

You Open the MSM app then do the Following

Compose Message > Menu People > Select the Person

These are the Only Problem I have Found..

Also, Please stop Comparing SlideM to this Rom! ( Slide MR1 ) it not the Same Rom at all!!

Thank you,

~Eugene

installation aborted

When I try to flash the rom it says there's no signature and installation is aborted. I've never had this happen when flashing any other rom.

I've googled a lot to figure this out without any luck. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] GuiltySavior:
I'm thinking it has something to do with the recovery image I'm using, which is flashrec.apk. I'm also thinking I need the recovery image in step 2 at the top of this page, but the directions from the link are too vague for me to follow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I agree man. Why people care about stupid espresso apps when you can download their equivalents via market! Sheesh! People are too damn picky! BTW... no errors here after flashing your fix. Thanks again for all the great roms!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlacsamana1989:
Nicely said :) had to switch back to previous rom as I was getting FC on everything I was doing. When you say to wipe the ext partion, how do I go about doing that and will this delete my a2sd app i have on there already?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Wipe in the Current Rom, before Flashing..

adb in & type..

wipe data ( This wipe data & any app-private / dalvik-cache that can be left behind )

Once data wipe is Finish.. Type.. from

c:\sdk\tools\adb reboot recovery

or if using unix based Computer ( Like OSX ) You would type

/.adb reboot recovery

From here you would can Do Factory Reset or you can Load ClockWorkMod and Run it from there..

After Which, You install like normal :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] squidbutt:
love the rom...short of the fact that messaging fc for me...ill try a fresh flaSH though
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hypersonicx:
The only way to fix the messaging FC is to wait on a patch or fix from the OP. In the mean time you can download chompsms and that will fix that problem.

other that and the lock screen this rom is nice. Plus 1ghz over clock. Icing on da cake lol.

To get FB to work.

Tried this to link FB back up with contacts. Didnt work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Yeah, I had tried that earlier (before I totally hosed my phone and had to turn it stock and re-root). I think the only option for this rom (and similar roms that depart from the Stock scheme) is to install the Facebook for Android app from the Market.

I know that Firerat was able to get the G1 to sync Facebook contacts by editing the build.prop (I think?). He has a script available that works for the G1 -- might be worthwhile to DM him and see if he has any insight.

Just a tip, I usually read through and entire post (replies and all) before flashing a rom. You can really save yourself time and hardship by doing so.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I read in other rom post that if you flashed the ENG rom already you dont need to do it again. if you have't yet then def do it. if you did it already then there isnt a need to flash it again. The advanced launcher you can install from the market.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] userfriendlyme:
the only issues i've had with the Rom myself so far has just been the messaging app which in the meantime i installed one from the market. the lockscreen which has been mentioned as well. I did try to do a bluetooth file transfer today as well and for the life of me could not get it to work. the apps on the market were not sucessfull in doing it either. I also needed to add a picture to a contact and it will not pull up the gallery when trying to select a picture. I worked around it by finding the picture in the gallery and then adding it but still just thought i mention it as well someone else posted the same thing. aside from that this rom seems to fit me best out of the bunch yet. As a matter of fact i'll be clicking on that donate link as soon as i send this post. Thank you for all the work you've done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] android007:
I'm loving this ROM. I noticed when I used AppControl when I first booted and looked to check for my A2SD (working perfectly ;) I deleted the Flash 10.1 APK for now. I had it backed up for future but for now, when I download from the Browser, it will force close, but reload the page exactly where I left it and the download keeps going, so I really don't mind.

For now, Handcent will definitely do. I like the default app, but Handcent is fun and I'm not going to be picky cuz this is by far my favorite ROM.

I just wanted to possibly ask for Facebook syncing, I really used to rely heavily on the dual syncing and would LOVE it if you can add that. ****in suck ROM though man! Keep up the awesome work.
