Idk, my brother lives with me and I have my unit restricted. If I add his number it connects to the airave. If I remove it, his device just pulls in a weak Sprint signal (upstairs). The problem I have is when I go outside now, my phone tries to hold on to a weak airave signal, instead of using a stronger tower Sig.

Windows Phone 7 Splash Screen (Animated)​

Hi,

Here is my first contribution to XDA, and I'd like to share with you this Boot up Animation I made, based on the real Windows Phone 7 startup.

I hope you will like it.

----------------

How to use this splash screen on your Windows Mobile Phone

1. Download the .zip file below, extract the .gif and the .png files on your phone.

2. With a software like Advanced Config modify the original splash screen like this :

- replace the original splash screen with wp7_splash.png

- replace the startup animation with wp7_anim.gif

You can use only the .png if you want, in order to keep your HTC animation.

Restart your smartphone, and it should now work !

----------------

Updates :

- QVGA-VGA Version in Post 2

- Smoother animation

- Focus/Motion blur in order to have an animation closer to the Microsoft's version.

----------------

Big update

New version with the actual Windows Phone 7 logo (not the old Windows Phone logo as in my first version), as you can see in the second thumbnail below. This version looks very close to the future WP7 version.

Download wp7-logo_splash.zip in order to get the new version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Here are the QVGA and VGA version of this boot animation.

Instructions in Post #1.

Enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] AyanamiZer00:
Looks nice! Good work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Thanks !

I enjoyed making it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] momofashi:
Nice work!

Thx!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gzcyk:
tks man ，good job
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Thank you very much.

Any comment or suggestion appreciated
[Windows Mobile Themes] shellexecutor:
I own a HTC Raphael. Which Version Should I Download?

Thx.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
I added a VGA version of the splash screen. You can download it in the post#2 (that fits Raphael's resolution).

It works in the same way than WVGA version.

Enjoy !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkachun9129:
For QVGA version, i think it is better to have a smaller logo and text.

Moreover, is it possible to add the loading dots as present in the real WP7 splash screen?

BTW, gd job man!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] byrortiz:
thanks downloading
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Good idea, I will make a smaller version for QVGA devices before next week-end.

But I don't know what do you mean when you're talking about the loading dots ?

The boot animation I've reproduced (and also customised a little bit) looks like the one I saw on LG devices, that has not dots. I've seen an earlier stage WP7 that even didn't have the complete animation but no loading dots.

Do you have a link to a video in which we can see them ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkachun9129:

[Windows Mobile Themes] bee_m:
Can I try this for my motoQ guy ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] maninthai:
Nice work, I prefer the old version though. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] farhangistan:
Cooooooooooool :D but if you add more delay, it would be more nicer !! 2.5 or 3 second would also be standard ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Oh ok I've seen them once. I'll try to remake them accurately.

I don't own a moto Q device, but it should work. I'll make a 320x240 version, (reversed QVGA) then you should be able to use the PNG to replace the original bootscreen in the Windows directory.

Then, in the registry, you will have to point to the new file here : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen

So do I in fact, but the new version is closer to the real WP7 startup. But the older shiny Windows Phone logo really looks good. But WP7 is a big step to simplicity, so is the logo.

What do you mean ? Are you talking about the animation speed ?

Thanks for all your comments.
[Windows Mobile Themes] farhangistan:
Yeh, Exactly, I mean animation :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] AngryNil:
Looks great, I'll probably use the loading dots version when you make it :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
What do you think about this first try ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] phixion35:
I think that animation is pretty awesome! B)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkachun9129:
It looks like the dots aren't fade in from the left-most of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anthony82:
On my Advanced config I can't find "Change animation", but only "change splash screen" and "change carrier splash screen"...

En fact I see only the wm7 png on boot...

how can I solve?

That's a great stuff, thank's aniway
[Windows Mobile Themes] circleofomega:
I have made a .cab for these files...however..i have only one issue...the pngs are a lil bad in quality..can i share it wid u guys regardles??

[Windows Mobile Themes] coltsta:
tried this in avance config to change the animated splash screen and it didnt work still shows the default splash screen but says its got the new screen that i put in advance config. any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] hungelt8:
can you make the animation more smoother or faster? :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] anand12:
Cool!

Whats with the black lag in between? After the animation ends and before the splash screen appears there is a dark lag. And the dots were a great idea .... why havent you refined it further?
[Windows Mobile Themes] scoutzr:
Can someone provide me with instructions on how to make this work on my Samsung Focus.

i.e.

-what apps/programs I need installed

-which version QVGA, VGA, etc....

-steps

also, good job with the animated logo, my current att boot screen sucks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spannernick:
What is the gif called in the windows folder I know I have to replace the welcomehead.192.png for the png..??

Here is the cab of the splashscreen for you(add it to first post it you like)
[Windows Mobile Themes] haluk444:
please can you make a wqvga version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] raving_nanza:
thanks, looks good but.. can we have a wvga/qvga version but preferably with a black background please....

a qvga version will still look cool on my wvga but with a black background ;)

rename to animated.gif put it in your windows folder, soft reset and enjoy.

thanks

Image Location

Hi everyone,

I have an Omnia 7 that was locked to the Three UK network carrier but is now unlocked as well as being Interop Unlocked.

I've got a registry editor on there and I want to remove the ugly Three image that loads up when the phone is starting.

Can you please tell me the location of the file and if there are any side effects to deleting it? I'm guessing I might have to overwrite it instead of deleting?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] arses:
hey guys

nice work

just tell me where is wp7_splash.png and wp7_anim.gif on memory??

hi everyone,

is there any program(or any way) to backup wifi profiles so after hard reset or changing rom you don't have to put all passwords again?

i'm not sure but i think that i saw an application in windows apps topics but after many searches i didn't find it:D!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyelliott:
I have had an HTC Desire via T-Mobile UK for a couple of months. It runs Android 2.1 with HTC's Sense interface. I have made no modifications to the phone. This evening the phone would not turn off so I removed the battery. Then it would not boot.

When I press the power button, the screen comes on, the phone vibrates (once) and I get the red ring -- and that's it. It sits with a blank screen apart from the red ring/disc.

I have tried removing the battery (that's the only way to switch it off), removing memory card and SIM. Still nothing. Then I tried a factory reset by clearing the memory, which appeared to work -- but no improvement. It remains stuck at the red disc.

Is my phone goosed? Is this a hardware fault?

The only thing I did before this problem was to try to install Swype using a APK file via my memory card and installing a third party app installer. The app installer did not find the APK file on my memory card so I couldn't install Swype - but I noticed a lot of forced closes before I tried to switch off. I presumed switching off the phone would resolve this. Then my problems began... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owziee:
I don't think it's f***ed... try a hard reset, if that doesn't work flash an original HTC rom again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
does the triangle look like this... /!\ if so press volume up and tap the power button.

hope this helps! good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyelliott:
The device has been factory reset. Several times. No difference. Maybe a new ROM will cure it. I'm surprised that a ROM could be so easily corrupted. This "red ring of death" on an HTC Desire might become more common in the months ahead.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyelliott:
OK. I promised to report back when the problem was resolved.

I got the phone back yesterday, one month and three days after I sent it for repair. The company I sent it to (the one I had the warranty with) could not fix it so sent it to HTC.

The device has a new IMEI, which tells me that the motherboard was replaced. It was, therefore, a major hardware fault and not an OS/software fault.

I'm not sure if it was a coincidence that I was messing around with non-standard software (using a non-Market source) or whether this goosed my mobo but my mobo was most certainly goosed.

So, for posterity, the red ring of death on an HTC Desire (and possibly some other handsets) is, indeed, a ring of death. The phone is f*cked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
The red ring you talk about seems to be some kind of error screen on T-mobile handsets. As far as I know, a non T-mobile handset has a black screen with 4 triangles, 1 in each corner.

Glad you got it sorted though :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhudsy:
its no error screen it is part of the t-mob boot up process
[Desire General] rollercoastervj:
HI all, I am new to android

Followed the excellent tutorials in this forum and upgraded to 2.2 using a file downloaded directly from a HTC link (sorry cant find right now)

Everything is superb but the gps cant get a fix. It has been a few days and I tried various things like restarts, remove battery, clear sky, leave google maps running for long, checked it is enabled in settings etc.

What to do?

What should be the correct version information after the 2.2 update? (in case i installed a beta/incomplete version)

Please help this new droid :) get back on its feet
[Desire General] djind:
I am sorry I have no solution, but I have the same issue. This has nothing to do with 2.2 I think, because it happened all of a sudden. At least it felt like it happened jus like that. I have been using 2.2 for a long time and used GPS. Only recently I noticed the issue.
[Desire General] rollercoastervj:
from my post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7773080&postcount=9

It worked for me! I went to the roof as today is a bright day and used Tricorder app's Geo tab. Touched on it to show satellite.

It kept trying to connect to satellite. The tricorder app shows some satellites as green. Presumably as they are chosen to calculate location. It didn't finally lock-on till it was showing 12 satellites and 4 of them were green. I noticed that I had to remove the jelly cover and :

1. Stand still, she how many satellites it shows signals. In a few seconds it will stop detecting new ones.

2. It it hasn't locked on then move around a bit and change some orientation then step 2 again

3. Repeat above till it latches to atleast 4 green or 12 total signals (dont know which one works the 12 signals or 4 green)

and after that it easily updates even indoors for me.
[Desire General] djind:
I usually get a fix in the first minute, usually under 30 seconds. But this time no satellites were showing, not even after 15 minutes. I switched roms and it's working fine again.

I think I must have messed up something by reflashing multiple times. (I was trying to get the bios boot image to work, but sadly no avail :( )
[Desire General] Mattie Boy:
I've just updated to voda standard 2.2 rom OTA this morning

1st thing I've noticed is the gps is a no go, no sats in view at all.

(using gps test the 'on button' only stays yellow too)

I've not 'messed' with my phone at all other than the standard updates

I must admit I've not tried a hard reset yet but I think that's going to be the last hopeful resort otherwise it's going back for a replacement

hello all. Quick question. Is there a way to make messages from google voice pop up like my regular messages do? I use handcent SMS and used SMS popup before that...

thanks all,

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ocswing:
Open Google Voice, hit Menu > Settings then check Notifications via Text Message. This will send the notification as a text and Handcent will then just bring up it's normal popup. Otherwise Voice doesn't have its own popup capabilities.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] mikelebz:

[Vibrant General] DLarva:
In some other threads I noticed people discussing how much free nand memory they have left. Where can one view that information?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Most of us get it in the shell, "df -h". Requires busybox, and probably root, haven't tried without root. I usually do it with ADB as it's irritating to type shell commands on a touchscreen. :)
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
There must be a better way to do this without root, but in Advanced Task Killer--yes I know, don't use these--it is displaying it.

I just noticed this as I was going about turning off all my autokills and getting ready to possibly remove ATK.

Is there a better app for viewing memory and maybe cpu usage?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
I like system panel. I don't know if it does disk storage though. It does show ram and cpu.

Hey there... just wanna ask you geeks here how hard is to port Android 2.2 to a 2.1 Device?!

i've just ordered the new aPad or gPad (G10) today with TeleChip and Android 2.1 onto...

also have the "old" 1.5 aPad with the RockChip, but no 3D acceleration and with no official support für 2.x !!

But theres already a quit big custom rom scene there...

but i think my question is better repealed here!

how hard is it to port 2.2 ??

what does i ned ?! Source of the 2.1 ?!

thx for any Help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GlobaL_TroTTer:
You can't port 2.2 to 2.1, you port it to the device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] futureshock:
??? read what i wrote!!

... i have a 2.1 Device and want to Port 2.2 to it ?? Port Android 2.2 to a 2.1 Device...

don't needs to be device specific... a generall statemate is allready more than i have now!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
I think the point that is trying to be made is that you have a device. It happened to have come with 2.1 on it. It's not really a 2.1 device. It's just a device with 2.1 on it. You just need a kernel and device drivers that are compatible with 2.2 and your device. That's very much a summary though.

If I had to guess, you should be able to get most things working under 2.2 with the drivers from 2.1. However, I only have 1 device (a Droid Eris), so I have no experience with the devices that you mention.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] futureshock:
i'm awar of that the device is "not a 2.1" device only... and it could be possible to get an official ROM in future.. but i wanna try to do it earlyer on myself!

so that is the point...

i saw this from HD2 Android Development...

there where firstly only 2.1 available..

but shortly after that there was a 2.2 Port too!

i pretty guess that they didn't have to rewrite the hole modules (drivers) the just edited somethin in the Nexus/Desire 2.2 File so to match the HD2

thx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
Understood.

It's quite possible, I'm sure. There has not been an official 2.2 update for the Eris (and won't be), but there are several CM6 (2.2) ROMs out for it. The same for the Hero and probably several others.

I have a partially working AOSP (non-CM) 2.2 ROM, but have yet to get the audio to work. (I really like to hear the phone ring, so it's not quite usable yet.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] futureshock:
ok sounds good so far...

now the question is, whats the general process of gooing such a port on?

to get the system dump is not the problem... that should be done easily...

Is RFS a good thing or bad thing?

PS. thanks for the info, I followed some of your work on the moment. Glad you'll be working on the epic.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
Its a Bad thing. Thats what causes the lag issues. I new they wouldn't change it just for the epic.
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
I thought the lag issue was due to it using a cheap internal sd media to store apps and such on rather then NAND like the epic has?
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
if you create a ext2 partiton on the internal storage its a lot faster then the sd card ext2 partiton lag fix. If the internal storage was bad due to hardware then the phone should till be slow. I can tell a big difference form stock to ext2 internal storage lag fix.
[Epic 4G General] xXSecretAgentXx:
How much difference are we talking about from ext2 on internal storage to etx2 partition on a class 2 card?
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I really didn't notice a big difference with the ext2 sd card fix but I did with the ext2 internal fix. I would say close to 1x faster then sd card fix. I didn't test this with stop watch but it was big enough of a difference that I noticed it for sure.
[Epic 4G General] Epell:
so... installing custom rom that doesn't use RFS should fix the lag problem?
[Android General] GlobaL_TroTTer:
Just thought there were some people that wanted to know.

This requires a rooted phone!

Firstly download the Pandora radio apk from a filesharing service or use market-enabler to get access to the American android market and download it from there.

Next, download Orbot from the market. Install it and don't forget to give it root permissions.

Before you press the on button in orbot, go to the app settings and select pandora to run through orbot.

Also check the "transparent proxying" box.

Next, start orbit by pressing the power button on the app to start the service.

Now open Pandora and it should work.

If not, try restarting orbit (kill the task too if it can't start again). Also if it prompts that it isn't available in your country AFTER it has launched, just press the back button and it should work. If you have any questions just ask
[Android General] fatgooz:
Hi followed your instructions to the letter but doesn't work. I get the message that pandora is not available in my country even with orbot running. I then close orbot and relaunch it but it freezes and can't connect anymore. :(
[Android General] Waturus:
Works like a charm, thank you!
[Android General] GlobaL_TroTTer:
if it dosent work, try reinstalling orbot
