[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blas4me:
I watched a video on youtube where a guy had a scene from the Iron Man movie as his boot screen on the nexus one. So, I decided to make me a animated boot screen. My question is can I make a .wmv my bootanimation, and if so then how. I've seen the bootanimations posted on this site, I just want something unique. I've had custom boot screens on both of my G1's and customized my recovery image, so I know how to do it for the G1, but I want to put my movie clip on my nexus as the bootanimation. Please some real advise, no theories.:cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Search. There is PLENTY of information here about how to do it and what needs to be done.

Mr. Smartass

Obviously I'm not finding it, and obviously you don't know. I did'nt just join this forum. This the first time I ever asked for help, for some smuck to tell me search, who could've at least posted a link to the thread. I should've put no comments from smartasses either.

bootanimation.zip contains a sequence of PNG files. No .WMV or anything else.

Already been there

Thanks a bunch though, but I already been to both places, before I posted thread, I was trying to avoid creating a bunch of png's, very time consuming, and figured I'd simplify the process. What I should've asked was can I convert wmv file into a series of png files, and if so what tool do I need. Dude had a cut from Iron Man, so I know it can be done, I just need somebody who's done it to view this thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Use some type of video editing program to split it into separate png files.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackm0d:
You could use a video editing program to export the WMV clip you have into a sequence of PNGs.

Try VirtualDub. It's free.

no doubt this isnt the first thread on a bricked G1. anyway, my brothers had this G1 for a year now, and its been bricked all this time (goes to bootscreen and thats it, cant get into recovery, cant into the screen with androids on skateboards (quick boot?), just stays stuck on bootscreen.

now he has said he will pay me if i fix it. i have no idea what he was doing when he bricked it, suffice it to say he did something stupid.

for the sake that i might have $50 by the end of tonight and be able to lord it over him when it comes to any phone related faults. how do i fix it?,

(i dont know how to jtag, it looks too complicated and rather expensive)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
It's actually very cheap if you build the gear yourself but it might be too complicated if you don't have experience in such things. Anyway, it's the only way to fix a brick so try it or don't, but you've got no other options.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamsul007:
meh very well, how would i go about jtagging it? i saw this video on youtube where they connect this thing to motherboard and connect it to computer and do some next level geeky ting.

Each processor or epprom on a circuit board has a programming interface for programming at a hardware level. Usually you will have to track down the datasheet for that chip and find what's used. ISP, JTAG, etc... Then you need a programmer. As was said you can build one, or probably buy one on ebay thats compatible with your chip. Once thats done theres usually either a port for jtag to hook up to it, or you will need to track down each pin to program it. JTAG us usually 20 pins but I'm not sure of the chip your using. Once thats done you hook up the jtag programmer to the jtag pins on the chip. Then use a IDE (integrated Development Environment) or flashing software to flash a new rom/hex/file to the chip to restore it to normal. This is the highest level of geekyness and how they basically hack playstations on xbox's. If your into this sort of thing I highly suggest you hang around. www.allaboutcircuits.com I'm sure some of my info is wrong but thats the basic jist of it without fact checking.

Post the video of what your trying to do and I may be able to do it for you. I have some JTAG programmers already but I'm not sure if their compatible. If your running an ARM chip it probably is. If not, probably not.

I hope that someone can help, my camera will not focus anymore. Every picture that I take, other than close up, is blurry. I've tried turning the Auto Focus off and then on again, restarting, and cleaning the lens, but nothing has worked. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
In you camera settings have you tried to reset to default?

Have you rooted your phone or loaded a new rom? If so, return it to stock and see how it does. If not, or problem is still there after you revert to stock it sounds like a defective camera and you need to exchange your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
I am using this website, and am at step 6. Everything up to this point has been going well, but i cannot get the recovery image to copy over. BTW I have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img file i'm using. When I type to push the file to the SDcard, it says, the transfer failed because the file system is read only.

How do I fix this? I've restarted the phone, taken the SD card in and out, i've typed adb remount, and nothing is working.

. Open command prompt and go to the Tools folder in Android SDK that you downloaded to create the gold card.

Assuming that you have not changed the file name of the recovery, use the following commands:

cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools

adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
OK, i've got that working, now another problem...

cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools

adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)

7. After the recovery has been flashed, go to the following link to download the ENG SPL for HTC MAGIC 32A (SPL: 1.76.2007)

http://www.4shared.com/file/21114537...07-signed.html

8. Now copy the SPL to your memory card.

adb push update-hboot-1762007-signed.zip /sdcard/

9. Restart your phone using the home + power key till it boots up into the recovery mode.

(or just type 'adb shell reboot recovery')

10. Using the 'Flash zip file' option from the recovery, select the SPL file from the memory card and flash the HBOOT on your phone

Now i've done most of that, but when I restart into recovery mode, it keeps on randomly rebooting even though I don't want it to. I clicked on 'flash zip file' and it just rebooted right away.

Now when I flashed the recovery, the command prompt said that it did it, BUT nothing happened on my phone, it was just sitting there and didn't say it was doing anything. Could this be a problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
OK i kept trying, and finally i got it to go into 'flash zip file', I clicked on the correct zip file, but right after clicking the screen went black and it restarted.

Does this sound like it worked? How do I check to confirm if it worked and it's rooted?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
Ok I did this, and it said ADB is already running in root in the cmd, so i think i'm good!!!

Thanks!

The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type

adb root

If it returns that adab is already running in root, then you're all set.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
So as i said, i installed the sapphire recovery, but now i'm reading on the wiki page that you need the HERO recovery file. I need to change the radio, but then it is saying i needed the HERO recovery.

This is so damn confusing why can't anyone get this all straight and not have so many different and totally contradicting methods.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...agic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#6.35.x_Radios

The wiki here says to use the HERO recovery, but this thread only gives the sapphire recovery for the HTC magic.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

Now to clarify i checked and i think i have successfully rooted, but the specs are this.

Sapphire PVT 32A ship s-on H

Hboot-1.76.0008

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

I'm told i need to change the radio now before I can install the cyanogen rom, is this true?

I can't find out what to do because no one seems to talk about the 1.76.0008 spl...

Any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
OK so more playing and more following guides, I installed the HERO recovery tool (1.6.2), and updated the radio to 6.35.10.18, changed my SPL to 1.76.2007, and have my PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H setup.

I'm confused though, because I did all of this work so I can install the lastest cyanogen rom, but it says it can't use this version of the radio... what the hell?

Someone REALLY needs to fix these tutorials to be self consistant.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239

follow this, got it all done, then go here to get the cyanogen mod...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=673394.

What do I do now?? Do I downgrade my radio or just use a different rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GreatBigDog:
Here is a link to a test kernel port file for CM 5.0.8 from Brian Crook. This should allow you to run CM using your current Radio. Like I say it's a test port and I haven't tried it but Brian is the one that does all the ports to the Rogers 3.x radios.

http://briancrook.ca/android/testing/

you'll need to download the file bc-5.0.8-6355-ebi1-signed.zip

You would use recovery to flash CM 5.0.8 then flash this kernel port file. After that don't forget to flash the gapps package that should be linked in one of the URL's that you already posted or you can get it here http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip

PLEASE NOTE

Do not change your radio from it's current 6.x version without flashing the matching SPL for the new radio. If you fail to flash the SPL/Radio combination correctly you WILL brick your phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icegad:
Where are the settings to change the network name? Whenever I flash a rom sometimes it says 3g tmobile and other times it says tmobile where in the rom can i change this to my prefered network?

Thanks n danks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
Loved you very much. Moved onto a Backflip. Couldn't take the lack of support for the speaker on Android. For those of you looking for an Android phone I recommend the Backflip... It's slicker, and even better: it's free with a new plan on AT&T ;)

Even still good luck with this Android port.

If anyone wants to buy a used T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 I'm selling it on eBay and it's only at 125$ bidding so far...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cashless:
The backflip is literally the worst Android phone made. Just trying searching google or side loading apps on it. You will be unpleasantly surprised.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 1jaxstate1:
Yeah, I'm moving to a iPhone next week and will also be putting my TP2 on eBay. Good luck on ur eBay auction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
LOL

There is a reason that with a new contract the backflip is free and the TP2 is still $250....

Motorola makes crap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matthewpapa:
wow

this thread is pointless
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stcardinal:
It's ok, I just got a TP2 so there will always be new users!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HeXeD:
no one cares... what is this? craigslist? go advertise somewhere else.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] XERO_Racer:
wow just wow

ok honestly you just made the WORST decision in history! why the heck would you drop the TP2 for the crappiest phone on the planet? slicker and better is more like uglier and horrible, worst perfomance, and of course Android Market is locked down, you cant load any third party apps! and why you didnt get the Aria? its 10000x more better but whatever and moving to a backflip just because you couldnt get speaker support on the Android port is a real unacceptable excuse, its a PORT! TouchPro2 was made for Windows Mobile, dont expect the devs to make everything to work in one shot, it seems like you insulted the port project by moving to an actual android because lack of sound, dont worry youll regret the whole decision!

ugh my venting session is done -.- total pointless thread, sorry but i just had to rant, because thats the worst decision ive seen from a consumer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] undefined:
xero_racer, roast much lol, I agree with you and all, cause Im like big time trying my best to get the sound working, and I am a noob when it comes to all of this, but im still tryin cause I speak tiny amounts of C++.and I can usually figure stuff out, and this kinda upset me cause that just makes me feel like i'm wasting my time towards something that people wont appreciate...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 1jaxstate1:
@reefer

Yeah. I haven't heard anything good about the Motorola Droid or the Droid X. /s

Just because one phone cost more than another doesn't mean squat.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cashless:
Odd. The droid is one of the best performing phones on the market, period. The build quality is unusually high for Motorola. I'm sure the Droid X follows suit, the specs are nothing to laugh at.

Motorola Android phones that have extremely LOW build quality and are also low spec'ed:

Cliq

Cliq XT

Backflip
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Rajinn:
always liked the nexus one for a native android phone, just not a phone i feel like buying though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hamsteriel:
Nice. Motorola's cell phones almost shut their entire mobile division down. The droid was their saving grace, but the backflip and the cliq have been plagued with problems, including a possible lack of upgradability to eclair without rooting. Lack of sound is to be expected in a build that's still in development, I hope you didn't get this pone with the sole intent of installing android.

Sorry about your lack of taste, but you should expect to be flamed when opening a thread bashing an excellent piece of hardware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
ive been thinking about switching to an android phone. but not a backflip. its horrible. its slow, ugly, outdated, have you tried using that thing they call a keyboard? my brother has an aria and i love it, but id prefer something like a touch pro 2 with android. i might settle in the future for something like a nexus one with an htc sense rom. a sense rom is whats tempting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 1jaxstate1:
Have u ever used a backflip or cliq?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Add45:
Totally second that lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tovarish:
what about the Samsung Epic 4G. It has almost the same form factor as the tp2 but a larger screen.

I cant wait to get that in gsm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KewlRobD:
The Backflip is not that bad depending on what type of user you are. If you active in this forum then most likely it is not the phone for you. My wife got one and she loves it. She is not a power user though. She likes to make phone calls, text messaging, the occasional photo upload, very light web surfing and facebook. She has no interest in side loading apps or any of that other stuff. For her the backflip suites all of her need.

For anyone else here that would like to switch over to a native Android phone I suggest you take a look at the Samsung Captivate. It is a highly anticipated phone and is supposed to be just as powerful as the Droid X. It releases this coming sunday the 18th of July. For those of you who can't live without a keyboard then you maybe out of luck cause the Backflip is the only Android phone on AT&T witih a keyboard.

I myself am a power user who needs the latest and greatest in both hardware and software. I though have grown very tired of Windows Mobile and the daily reboots just to keep it running well enough to use. I am also out of patients waiting for a full working port of Android. The developers here do an awsome job and I am not puttingi them down. I just want to switch to Android and I want to do it yesterday. I to have put my Tilt 2 up on Ebay and will be purchasing the Captivate this coming Sunday.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cashless:
Samsung Epic 4G/Captivate/Vibrant/Fascinate (all versions of the Samsung Galaxy S) looks like the go-to phone if you're leaving XDAndroid. I'll probably be getting the Vibrant once it's released on T-mo.

Nothing against the Rhodium, but mine's beat up (probably only good for parts) and I don't normally keep a phone as long as I've kept this one. If anyone needs a t-mobile Touch Pro 2 for parts or whatever, PM me after the 15th.

I unfortunately still have a year left till my upgrade but I cant wait to get an andrioid device. Was using my friend`s htc desire the other day and it was trully great.

I`ve had the HTC wizard and kaiser. as well as the touch pro 2 now so believe me, ive had to put up with a hell of a lot of crap from windows mobile. Even so, I still preferred it over iphone.

However, after using the HTC Desire, there really is no comparision.

(and i cudnt care less about the constant tweaking nemore just to have a half stable device.)

Just got an upgrade to the samsung galaxy s and all I can say is that its amazing :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fade2black101:
It's just the smoothness of everything. Everything just worked and in terms of features and looks it rivals winmo much better than the iphone does. Not to mention a native flash player in the internet browser which was just great, and puts skyfire to shame.

Don't get me wrong, I still like WinMo for all the things it can do, but i'm not gunna restrict myself to it after trying out all the other operating systems. Of which, only the latest android devices can compare. But like I said, they are MUCH less laggy and i'd be much less susceptible to freezes and missing important calls. Not to mention the daily soft resets.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
Sorry to hear, that is odd when I used mine the direction was fine :s could be that I live in a place with no high buildings

Edit just done some googling and it seems that some people have the gps issue but on the positive it seems to be software related so it is fixable
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fortunz:
If OneNote were properly executed for WinMo (full access to all my desktop OneNote notes), there would be no swaying me either. But they really sucked the usefulness out of it for me. So while WinMo more or less has me covered at the moment, I am in a place where I don't want to buy anymore software on a dead platform, and that limitation alone leaves me a bit underserved. That, and I bought into winmo with the expectation that OneNote 2010 wouldn't be worthless. :rolleyes:

The Android App inventor is big friggin deal too. I don't know if it supports Google APIs yet, but once it can sync to google docs and spit out Chrome extensions too, Android is going to blow 7 different kinds of smoke for me.

Hardware-wise though, I've yet to be wowed. The upcoming HTC Vision is rumored to be impressive enough, but even that is a 4 line kb with lots of wasted space to boot (and no tilt :( ). I'd rather have a crappy processor and frequent pauses than a crappy keyboard.

[EVO 4G Accessories] davebu:
Cant anyone with a seido innocase ii check their box and tell me if its polycarbonate?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
I can tell you the active case is polycarbonate.

Also, I had the innocase II originally and it took a 4 foot drop onto concrete and survived. So it must be something durable.

Thanks in Advance for all replies!

I get my Sprint EVO tomorrow. I am hoping that this phone is going to be a good replacement for my TP2. I will have 15 days eval time before I will have to keep it.

My question is, what are the hardware flaws/issues do I need to test forwhen I get my phone? Do you have any more to add to this list below:

1. Find out if I have light leakage.

2. Find out if I have the high quality screen.

3. Find out if I have the slow screen response problem.

4. Find out if the kickstand is tightly attached and shows no future problems.

5. Test the battery thoroughly. (Not completely sure how to do this).

Should I care what revision of the hardware that I have? It seems like the screen problems are mixed into the HW 2 and 3 revisions?

Is there anything else?

I hope I am graced with a phone that is absent of any flaws, but I want to make sure....Thanks!!!
