On my Android 2.2 (froyo) device, the path to the bootanimation and sound file is:

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

/system/media/android_audio.mp3

Both are at the same folder level. Also, each 'frame' of the animation is a separate .png file in two directories. One directory has the opening part of the animation, the second directory contains just the looping part.
[Android Themes] roblikeschocolatecake:
i have a cliq with a 2.1 rom on it. inside the bootanimation.zip is a part0 and part1 folder. part0 contains the png's for the opening part of the bootanimation and part1 has the png's for the looping part. now, do i add a line into the txt file saying "android_audio.mp3" ? and then put the android_audio.mp3 into /system/media/ ?
[Android Themes] dklockshine:
In my bootanimation.zip, my 'part0' folder is named 'android' (the opening part of the animation). There is no entry in the 'desc.txt' file for the audio file, it just sits in the media folder along side the .zip file, not inside it.

I just had an idea that the name of the audio file needs to match the name of the folder that has the first part of the animation. For example, my folder is named android and the audio file is 'android_audio.mp3'. If you're still having problems getting the audio to play, try naming the audio file 'part0_audio.mp3' and see if that works for you.
[Android Themes] roblikeschocolatecake:
im not even gonna bother messing with it now. i mean the hd2 is a windows mobile phone yet it can run an android 2.2 rom. im jealous of my dad... and im sitting here with a cliq that still has android 1.5 and yet again moto has delayed the update. im ready to give up on the cliq. its got nothing out there. i mean, ive got it rooted and have a 2.1 rom on it but i just cant handle not having any development for it. but the thing is i just got my cliq from tmobile around april so im not sure if i qualify for an upgrade yet. should i maybe complain to tmoblile about moto being horrible with there updates and im not satisfied with the phone to try and get them to give me a new phone for free?
[Android Themes] Casen:
Im fairly certain you leave the sound file OUT of the bootanimation.zip. Just place it in there, and make sure the desc has the part0 sound thingy...
[Android Themes] joshw0000:
Didn't the older Android versions have sound in the boot animations?....Just for a brief moment. You could probably download a 1.5 rom, extract the boot animation from it, change the mp3 (and maybe something in the text file) and put it in data/local or system/media (or both) of your current rom.
[Android Themes] Edubyah:
Build.prop?

Before you give up examine your build.prop [all of them] I have seen them say something about audio in bootanimation and all the ones I have seen said = false or =0 hope that helps.
[Android Themes] YoungSinema:
I created my own boot animation with sound by using an .mp3 file and 2 .gif files. I tried doing it with a ton of .pngs and the desc.txt file, but after hours of not getting it right I quit. I just made my .pngs into 2 .gifs using a .gif creator.

So, in my /system/media/bootscreen (I had to create this folder) I have the mp3, the gifs, and boot_animation.xml which has the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have had every GSM android phone Available in the USA, as well as the Rogers Magic from Canada & European HTC Hero.

HTC has been Extremely amazing with their products and if any issues, they were very helpful.

Ive Read more bad things about Samsung products than good such as electronics dying a few months of being purchased brand new and their support being the worst.... I am a little shaky to buy the phone due to people commenting feeling like straight up plastic. and also because i would be pretty pissed for it to die just a couple weeks, or months from purchase date.

Anyone Experience anything wrong with their phones so far? Hardware Related???? Now Samsung also sucks with Updates and Promises, Just look at the behold. Seriously!!!!!!!!

--- Flame, flag, discuss, be of use, do your thing-----
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
The various radios and their ability to hold a strong signal when touched by your hand is definitely a concern. Indoors, 3G reception with this device is extremely unreliable. I fluctuate from having full signal strength (not just going off of 'bars'), to EDGE, to dropped calls. I've had calls go straight to voicemail, while the phone is sitting on a desk, where other phones did not have this issue.

Outside, depending on how 'obstructed' I am, it's a bit difficult to drop. But if I walk between two houses, 3G signal is screwed. Blame it on the frequency of T-Mo's network, I guess; but I have used 3G phones on the network which have never suffered from these problems. A co-worker of mine uses a cheapo 'MyTouch 3G', which outperforms my $500 phone in terms of 3G strength and GPS-locking. Really sad. :(

The screen is incredible. The best in the industry, if you ask me. The pixel density isn't as crazy as the iPhone 4's, but the colors are unmatched. Watching videos on this screen is like sitting in front of a tiny Plasma TV. Speaker quality is actually quite decent, to boot. Sounds about as good as the speakers on a MacBook Pro.

The build quality is solid, for what it is. That said, it still feels like a toy, and is probably built from cheap plastic to keep the costs down (the screen probably costs a fortune). I would've preferred a heavier, metal-body phone.

The buttons, unfortunately, feel very cheap. My biggest concern is that the power button might fail some day. The headphone jack is cheap. In fact, my first headphone jack was non-functional, and would constantly short out.

Despite all of those hiccups, I still really like the device.

Samsung's support is not the greatest, which is why I worry in the first place. In 2003, I bought one of the last CRT HDTVs. It was an issue of 'spend $1k for CRT or spend $3k+ for LCD'. I was broke, and in school, so I went with the CRT. After a year of mild usage, the board inside of the TV died, and I could only view snow-laden black and white images. The TV was covered by the extended warranty I bought through the store. A year later, on the dot, it died again. And the next year, again. Eventually, I grew tired of spending money on warranties, and let it lapse. Sure enough, the TV died again. From that point on, I was skeptical of Samsung's QA. They wanted to charge me the cost of the TV to repair it. Needless to say, the set was junked, and I wasn't happy.

I still don't like their build-quality. I think Samsung cheaps out, even on their larger sets. Everything is thin, glossy plastic. But one thing is for certain: Samsung knows how to build a panel -- the best panels in the industry, if you ask me.

That's all I really have to say about them. Hope it helps.

I would just like to add my 2 cents as far as battery issues.

1. I use task killer to disable unused apps and free up ram/cache info and save on a little battery power

2. i setup the brightness manually to be low and the phone is still very bright. The phone on average uses 80-90% of its power from this alone so it is VERY important to manage. I used it auto on the first day and the phone lasted me about 12 hours. Once i set it up manually i got about 14-15. For example 8am-11PM. With lots of use. The phone battery seems very realistic to use in a single day..but more than 20 hours i would say you would have to have moderate to low usage..i would say i have high usage..1st day i had it with a full charge

30emails 10with attachments

100+texts

20 app downloads

30 min of web browsing

30 min of phone calls

50% total time using WIFI

40% with 3g

the rest just browsing on the phone setting up emails and such

please feel free to email me with any specific questions: kipnitreal01@hotmail.com

I love this phone!

Update: 07/21/10

Today is the second day i use the phone fully and using it for just about the same amount my battery is only about 47% compared to 30ish% the day before..last night it crapped out at around 1145 with 5% energy..its 8pm now and im at 47%..so far i have charged it fully 3 times..i expect 2-4 more charges and im gonna get a max time of about 15-18 hours of hard use..LOVE THIS PHONE!!

dont think its possible...unless you put the unrevoked.apk onto your HTC hero sd card then run it.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] NuAngel:
My phone (which is currently running Incubus26Jc's Android 2.2 FroYo RLS10 NAND) rebooted at around 12:30 AM. I noticed that it reboots, randomly, about twice a day. Not sure of the cause, haven't looked in to it, but normally it comes back to the desktop, like a fresh boot of the phone. So I thought nothing of it.

Last night, however, during the reboot, SOMETHING happened, and it seemed to have gotten stuck in an infinite loop. It would show the boot animation for a while, then lose power... then it would notice the power cable was plugged in, and try to automatically boot up.

If you notice, plugging the power cable in forces the phone to boot all the way into the Android OS. There seems to be no "charge while off" feature, at least for me.

Anyway, this endless loop caused the phone to reboot over and over and over, until the point where the battery was so far drained, that this "hand off" between the boot screen and the actual OS (somewhere during the boot animation) where the phone had to run on battery for a split second, was long enough to cause the phone to power off completely.

I couldn't flash back to Windows (I thought) because the phone didn't have enough of a charge to stay in bootloader mode while flashing the phone. Which was mostly true.

FYI (how I fixed my problem): should something similar happen to you, put the phone in true BOOTLOADER mode (hold the camera button when you press the power button, see the colored bars across the screen), even though the indicator doesn't light up, the phone DOES charge when in this mode and plugged in to a wall charger (and probably while plugged in to USB).

As far as I know, you are required to maintain a certain level of charge to run the RUU because the USB cable cannot charge the phone WHILE FLASHING, but while waiting in bootloader mode, the battery will charge. I was able to let the phone sit at the bootloader for about an hour then started up my phone and had over 70% charge according to Android. Working again! :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] afflaq:
Alright I'm having a little bit of an issue -- hopefully someone can help. I'm trying to modify the usb plugged/unplugged icon and the 'clear' button, as well as the signal strength icons. The goal is to get the notification bar looking like stock android. Is there a method of going about this that I'm missing? I'm sure it's going to be something in the xml and I've apktool'd the apk and the framework-res.apk -- but I'm hardpressed to find the references, anyone able to help?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
What are you talking about? It's nothing but swapping out PNGs or editing them to fit your needs. The only things you even need to touch are going to be in the drawable folders.

Don't touch the XML... just don't.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] _Burst_:
I think he is talking about the location of the png he is looking for.

The USB, I dunno, i cant find it either. not in htc-res. prolly in another apk.

signal strength icons are in there (htc-res). cdma_sys_6signal_0.png through cdma_sys_6signal_null.png (as in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,null)

Clear button? On the notification drop down? I believe that is a generic button that resides in framework-res.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] afflaq:
uh, so, let's take the USB icon plugged/unplugged for example.

that should be stat_sys_data_usb.png in framework-res.apk, correct? That, for example, in my framework-res.apk that's sitting in /system/framework, is the default android AOSP icon for USB. When I'm using my phone, it's the HTC one with the black background.

Like I said, maybe I'm missing something, but any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I believe most of the pngs for the taskbar are located in the htc.com.resource.apk or whatever.

It's been a bit since I've messed with taskbar icons, but, I'll check in a bit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] afflaq:
I think I might be onto something, I think it's actually going to be in PCSCII.apk -- since HTC has their own sync handling.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] afflaq:
Yup. That was it. confused the **** out of me because I knew I had updated the one in framework-res. POS HTC apps sometimes..sorry for the bugging there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] _Burst_:
thanks for finding it!

I have been looking but got busy. Nice find.

:D

Now find the status_bar_shadow.9.png equivalent in sense and I'll give you a virtual high five!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Yep. USB_to_PC_Notify
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
I was trying to remove the battery from the notification area completely. I found the pngs in the framework or com.resource apk (dont recall which). And of course the battery dissappeared. However, it left the space blank, the other icons like signal strength, gps, etc, did not move over. Anyone know how to fix it so the other icons will shift over to the right where the battery was?

On a side note, i removed the gps disabled icon, and other icons move over into its place. So there must be something more involved in the damn battery icons.

thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] afflaq:
I'm almost positive that services.jar has some impact on the battery in the notifications bar. Once I get the Clear button sorted out, I'll be happy. I think I know which image that one is as well - I'll have to **** with it next week though, need the phone stable while I'm out of the country

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gudism:
Hi all!

Newbie to this forum, this will be my first post! BUt have been reading ALOT of threads to get myself comfortable with flashing my HTC Touch Diamond 2, many thanks to all who make the 'first time flashers' threads.....very helpful!

My problem is this, does anyone know how I can change the weather (the HTC sense one) so that it displays a more localised location?

I presume it uses a US website for its database, and unfortunately the nearest city to me that it picks up is about 300km away, and the weather differs greatly to my location.

I live in Australia, and the major weather websites (bom.com.au & weatherzone.com.au) have data for the city I live in (so its not like where I live doesnt have any weather data).

I have read on another thread (for the sony xperia) that people were using data from the weatherzone.com.au site, so was wondering if it would be possible to do so with WinMobile on a HTC device.

So does anyone know if I can change the database that the weather info comes from?

thanks

[Dash 3G, Snap General] hgexe:
Hi.

I have noticed quite a few thread stating this already but I notice most of them does not seems to be suited to this device.

I'm pretty new at this so I apologise if there are terminology that I do not understand.

I'm using HTC Snap S526 (S521 non-camera edition). I need to revert back to the original SPL so that I can send for servicing.

I'm currently using the 3VO custom rom with HardSPL 1.17.

I notice in the 3VO thread as well as the downloadable 3VO package, there is the original SPL file "maple-original-spl-1.17.nbh", but there are no instructions on how to use it. Can someone please kindly guide me along?

Thanks in advance.

Update: I have tested the following by reading various thread by with no avail:

I have tried putting maple-original-spl-1.17.nbh/maple-original-spl-1.19.nbh in a memory card and renaming it to MAPLIMG.nbh, then run bootloader by holding the vol-down button when turning on device. I press power button to start flashing as instructed by the screen. However, despite saying "success", my bootloader still shows SPL1.17 Hard. What did I do wrong, is there any other steps I can take?

Thanks
[Dash 3G, Snap General] musiknjoyr06:
download the hardspl file. inside the folder you see 1.17hardspl.nbh or 1.19hardspl.nbh....replace it with the original nbh inside the main folder. then simply run auto.bat

Anyone have an idea/app that can play an .asx streaming radio?

used to be able to do it with the hero from a link in yourmuze.fm but since changed to the SG nothing works.

Tried several live streaming radio apps like "A online radio". Also obviously tried just using the link in a the stations web page and that opens the video player that can't handle the file format.

any ideas?

thanks

Sorry guys, my stupidity, I wan't straming from the mobile site of Yourmuze.fm ie //m.yourmuze.fm but from the main site and therefore the files being streamed were't set up for the mobile / android. now it all works fine, you just link your radio station stream ip address and the yourmuze server digests it for you format and download speed requirement.
