Not quite sure what that might be, maybe a cache issue with your file manager.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JayJ-1974:
Any idea how to fix it, I'm using Root Explorer which I downloaded off the AM to do just this.

Should I even worry about it?

Not quite sure how to fix it, but if it runs ok then no I wouldn't be worried about it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ParrotSquawk:
Got an idea...how about a program that randomly changes the bootscreen each time you reboot it?

You would always load random.gif (or whatever the .ext) is and chrontab copy a random file to random.gif so that is all you would have to run on boot.

Not a coder so I can't do stuff like that... but just an idea :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
I couldn't find a way to share the file because it was too large. I always create high quality boot screens so they are usually about 50-100 mb.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
It's PNG and there 30 of them, and given it's probably the bootloader that controls that not sure it would work.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
You would have to have folders set up with pngs you are ready to use with the correct labels startupshow etc. Then you would create a script to generate a random number before you shut down and swap your current startupshow with the pictures in one of your premise folder. I can't developed in java so it would be easier to do as a script for me. And you can have boots of more than 30 images, I think the most I had was about 130
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
On the X10? People have used more, can't remember the exact figure but no where near 130, but ran into trouble.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
Yes on the x10. The larger the size image and he more images the longer it will take your phone to boot and their is some buggines. I will upload some of my previous bootfolders to Megaupload that I know work.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Thanks, but I'll stick to the "bugginess" free stock 30.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
well if you want to live on the wild side. its not that bad

apparently in 2.1 the directory is.. different/no longer there

edit:

/system/etc/semc/chargemon

/etc/semc/chargemon

both have animx.rle , where x is 1~8. animation files?

oh ok found a bootanimation.zip at /system/media . i think that would be where it is. lemme toy around with it. this zip contains the bootup screens.

edit2:

ok! made the files the same format as bootanimation.zip. tested working. attached a working "sample". design is not by me, by someone else.. not sure where. i just renamed the files and placed into corresponding folders.

i've not tested combination of folder placement. give it a go, and post your results :D

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html

In android 2.0 it is easier and their are more options to customize the boot animation.

here is a link to an article explaining it more in depth. Anyone want to text my upload on the 2.1 firmware, i did not update yet. I at work
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tookieboy:
where's the link o.o
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Thanks. Going to have a play later with the old ones I'd done for 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
Because 'bootanimation.zip' is being used now, we can probably just replace ours with other phones' boot animations, without any problem. Just drag and drop.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ProBoner:
Yep I can confirm that this exactly the case.

I just loaded this one out of the samsung captivate boot animation thread
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Given the folders are different, for example in the Captivate one, how does that work?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ProBoner:
:confused: Why would that matter? Just use rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip and place it over the original file on the x10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
I would imagine it matters because the folders the files are in, in the zip on ours, are in different folders and named differently on others. Open ours and open the Captivate one and you'll see what I mean.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Added a few for 2.1. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arkedk:
Not exactly since the desc.txt should match your devices screen size.

But other than that it should be fairly easy to just edit that file and then just drag 'n' drop them.

I deleted my boot animation zip file.from media now when it boots up after the se display i get a blue shimering android logo which is pritty cool

Is there a way to delete the the SE animated boot screen that they added in 2.1? I have the black and white SE boot screen, then the animated one, then Rogers logo (which I don't mind at all). All I want is to have it the 1.6-way: black and white SE screen, then Rogers screen. Please advise! :)

Been making a bunch of different bootanimations lately.

This is one of them.

Works also on Se 2.1 just overwrite the bootanimation.zip (located /system/media) with this one

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Deleted the bootanimation file, I actually quite like the default android logo.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] elvish:
Is there a way to get rid of the Rogers Logo right after the SE one I hate it LOL..rather have nothing than Rogers Logo makes me feel like the still own the phone LMAO!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JDwan:
You can either copy a different .png file over the file in the anim5 folder (the one with the Rogers logo in it), remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt file, or overwrite the whole bootanimation.zip file with another animation. I did the latter and replaced the boot animation with the one jerpelea has for his custom 2.1 rom. I would advise against messing with the desc.txt file unless you know what you're doing with it. Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] erick_o:

i am so desperate to make my bootscreen looks like my x1 :(:(

Great thanxs it does now to learn how to do this all ;-)..On wiht the reading hehe!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] adamwilliams:
Where?!?!

I have been trying to do this for agggges and I even paid for root explorer, but I just can't do it. I was originally following instructions for 1.6 (duh!) but I havent seen anything about 2.1 so I dont even know where to start. step by step would be great as I'm a bit of a numpty
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] arkedk:
You just need to replace the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media

Been mentioned a lot in here.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] adamwilliams:
yes it has for some reason when I posted that I was missing everything on the forums since october ?!?!

but just to be clear all I'm doing is copying a custom animation zip file straight over the original? and I'm doing that using root explorer? I'm worried that I will inadvertantly put a 1.6 in there and my phone could possibly blow up! thanks for the quick response
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] adamwilliams:
also when x10i user says he has added them where has s/he added them to? the ones on the first page? or are they still 1.6?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Yes, I thought it was obvious by stating where to put them in 2.1.

mates,for the BIOS-like boot animation,I changed the FPS in to around 45 and it seems that it can be played fully on my X10:o

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ChrisMCP:
SO if I delete bootanimation.zip file in /system/media on 10a global - what would I have instead of SE logos? I mean the thing that pisses me off is that there are two SE logos in a row (first the boot screen with black background and Sony Ericsson in the center, and then the SE color animation). Is it possible to have just one? the first black/white SE screen?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
I deleted mine and now instead of that crappy SE animation I get a nice little Android logo that kind of shimmers.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ChrisMCP:
nice! but you do get the fist the Sony Ericsson white-text-on-black-background, right? :confused: I kinda like it and wanna keep it if possible
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reb0rn:
No way.

Cuz the phone boots up before showing the green little droid guy.

Im saying it works, of course it does, but its TO SLOW. The phone boots to fast so it doesnt show the entire boot procedure...

Runs fine for me all the way through Andy shows plus the Android logo. do you have JIT installed on your x10? I'm thinking that may be a problem with the people that aren't getting the full boot animation which means there is nothing I can do about that if I shortened it the animation wouldn't look right.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JDwan:
It's not showing the Android logo on mine either and I don't have JIT enabled. Looking at the files in the archive as well as the desc.txt file, it looks like it should be there just fine, just not sure what is going on with it. Though I've only tried loading it once using a reboot, so maybe the boot up is too fast for a reboot but just right if it's been off for a while?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lightyear420:
Flawless install!!! Thanks very much ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] JDwan:
As it turns out I was right about the reboot and things loading too quickly after a reboot. Once I had my phone off for a while and booted it up, the bootscreen loaded fully with no problem. Thanks again for it!

bootanimation

[IMG=http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/169/animation3l.th.gif][/IMG]

Making the bootanimation.zip

1. First make two folders "part0" and "part1" (you can call them anything, but its easier to explain this way)

(part0 is for animation that plays once, part1 is for animation that loops untill the device is loaded.)

2. Now make a text file "desc.txt" and enter something like this:

"320 480 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1" - G1 example

"480 800 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1" - N1 example

3. Once you have that done its time to turn it into a zip. I use Winrar for this. Make sure you call it bootanimation.zip and there must be no compression. The zip is just for storage.

It should look like this:

bootanimation.zip -

> part0

> part1

> desc.txt

4. After that just push via adb to /system/media (i think /data/local also works)

Explanation of the "desc.txt"

First line contains 3 numbers width, height and fps

Second line (and any succesive lines) starts with the letter "p" (which comes from animation part) and contains 3 items:

-count: number of time this part is repeated

-pause: number of microseconds to pause after the last frame of the part

-path: the directory which contains the png files that compose the frame of this part

Hey,

I flashed JM5 yesterday.

Today i wanted to go back to JM2 i flashed it odin said passed etc everything was fine, but after booting i had a black screen just those two white leds worked.

since i didn't manage to flash jm2 i tried to flash jm5 again, now odin says:

its stuck on the last line now for ages.

odin is still on and my phone aswell, dunno what to do i am a bit afraid of taking out the battery.

anyone can help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kryston:
works again on jm5 trying to go back to jm2 now, hopefully i will manage it ^^

edit: managed it now, very strange thing dunno what was the problem but somehow flashing didnt work all the time, sorry for opening this thread.....

If someone wants to know what i did, i removed battery when odin seemed to be stuck.

went back to download mode, flashed jm5 again and again till it worked then flashed jm2 again, worked for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Battery removal is the prefered option to solving a frozen install.

Did you remove the sd card and sim before flashing.

I always do and this seems to be a bug bear with people. Some do it some don't.

Did you re-partition each time as well.

I had some issues myself with the installation of JM5. Had to flash twice to get it to work correctly. Jury is out whether I will stay with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milan2008:
I had that same issue with that firmware twice even after downloading JM5 from another link.

Removing the md5 extension from the three files and leaving as .tar solved the issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _SAM:
i tried also to flash JM5 and it also stuck. reading here, i removed the battery and now, everytime i put the battery on there is a picture with a telephone and a computer and an exclamation mark between, meaning there is a problem with the connexion between the 2 and it doesn't start the download mode.

Can you please tell me what to do? I am afraid I bricked my phone..

LE: if i wait enough, i can enter in download mode, but the actual download doesn't start, the blue progress bar doesn't show up. i tried with I9000XWJM5 twice and with I9000XXJP3. yesterday JP3 worked, so the archive and the pit should be good. What to do?

more details:

<ID:0/016> Added!!

<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..

<ID:0/016> File analysis..

<ID:0/016> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/016> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/016> boot.bin

this is what odin says.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marvi33:
Make sure that you start odin before you connect phone. If you connect phone 1st, odin will find it, said its downloading files but nothing will happen.

So in your case: turn phone on, wait til it gets todownload, start odin, connect cable.

Hopfuly this will work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _SAM:
it worked, thank God!

3 times the process didn't start and i removed the battery, but, as others said, this phone is quite hard to brick.
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
Ok, so this is the 3rd time this has happened to me (on 2 different Captivates). I have no idea what's causing it, and it has caused me to revert back to complete bone-stock.

After so long (amount of time is variable), I just stop receiving texts. Not sure what causes it, but I'm starting to have to do factory resets to receive them. I originally thought it was Handcent, but I didn't even install that this last time. I have also been rooted each time. Not suspecting that it's the issue, but it's just stated fact.

Programs I've been using:

First Crash:

Handcent

Advanced Task Killer

SwiftKey Beta

launcherpro installed, but uninstalled shortly after

*Stopped working after 2nd day of having phone*

Second Crash:

Handcent

ATK

launcherpro (actually using)

SwiftKey

Autostarts

Beautiful Widgets

*Stops randomly mid-day*

Third Crash:

Same as 2nd except I never used Handcent, and with the userinit ext fix applied.

*Stops after a few hours of initial stock flash*

Anyone have any idea what's causing the problem? The only apps that are common through these 3 are Swiftkey, ATK, and launcherpro was at least installed once.

Just getting incredibly annoying... :mad:

Any help would greatly be appreciated!
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
[bump]

Does anyone know anything regarding this issue?

Still currently running on a stock rom with only Swiftkey beta, Digital Clock Widget, and xda app installed and I haven't ran into the issue yet... Just have this feeling like my phone's on a time bomb or something, and will just stop whenever it wants.
