My bad I meant 320x480. And thanks man. Going to try that right now. Also I noticed when I edited the files the final zip increased from 1.3mb to 3.4mb. I read something about level compression For zips & apk's. Is there a certain level I have to compress it to???? And once again man thanks for the info.

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
The bootanimation.zip does not get compressed. I use 7zip with compression set to "store". If you are making a signed zip to flash from recovery, the flashable zip would use "normal" compression.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Ahh ok thanks for the time and the response. Does the numbers on the desc.txt file differ from size and/or video/sound??? Also would you happen to know were I could read upon more about this??? I would like to know all I can on matters like thesse thanks.

Sorry, I have divulged all my knowledge on the subject. And I just picked up bits and pieces throughout my time reading here on xda, so no real source to give ya either. But I hope I helped a little, and maybe someone else will chime in and supply additional info for the both of us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What do you mean differ from size? Because changing them will change the B.A. size, yes :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You've been more than helpful. And thanks. And yea, you gave a better understanding of that txt. file and I appreciate it. Thanks again.

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
OK So how do I adjust accordingly. I mean if I change the size of the Ba. Like I posted earlier when I was done editing the .9ping files and ziped them back up the zip increased from the orginal size. So if I add or subtract files how do I edit the txt. to reflect what changes I've made???? Thanks.

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well first, there shouldn't be any .9pngs in a bootanimation ;) Second of all, the only changes you need to reflect in the text file were the ones that the other very helpful user said; you can specify the play size, length, parts, and repetition in the text file :D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
I looked at that video and it helped me a lot. I think I had the images the wrong size. When I extracted the boot img's from CM6 and Aosp's rom they were sized the same 320×320 and the txt.files only differ a little. So I'm going to resize the images again and try it that way. And I was wrong in my other post I did have the images sized to 320x480 which I think is to large. I also think it would explain y I was only getting a corner of the ba. Just wanted to say thanks again for the video

What does Kies offer you with firmware update?

Kies does not let me do an update, possibly because of my region, I'm unsure. I live in New Zealand

So i used the ctrl+alt+u+p trick and it attempted to upgrade to JM1 but was unable to and gave me the error failed to convert to upgrade mode. do I need to boot my phone into some sort of upgrade mode or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonesy118:
I've been trying for 2 days to update to JM1, as kies said the firmware update was available for my phone.

I finally solved the "failed to convert to update mode" problem.

Basically, from what I spotted after installing and uninstalling kies a few times is that all the drivers for the phone install (modem, mass storage etc), except "usb composite device" maybe they forgot to bundle that specific drive in with kies?

Go here, download these drivers and install them. It will say they're already installed, but go ahead and install over the top.

[G1 General] Nolano386:
I'm helping my brother with a G1 he just bought. We don't have a sim card for it, as he wants to use it just as a PDA, not as a phone.

Now, there are instructions for registering one without a sim card, but for some reason they don't seem to be working for me....

So after doing some research, I think I can make it work, IF I can use busybox's telnet client to flash the recovery image. I haven't found any record of anyone else doing this, so I don't know if it's possible, and I don't want mess up his phone by just trying.

So, does anyone know if this is possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rui.mamede:
Hey guys,

Since i rooted my SGS a while ago and then updated superuser to the last version available in market, that i'm facing an annoying issue i can't manage to solve by myself. Somehow when i applied one of the first update.zip files available in xdaforums to root my phone i got a su binary in /sbin. And now it is conflicting with the newer version. I can delete /sbin/su and its all ok, but once i restart my phone i've to do it again.

Is there a way to remove /sbin/su forever? I was told i had to create a new boot.img without /sbin//su but i found that a bit hard for me to do at this point. Would it be too much to ask, that someone used to it maybe could fix me and update.zip to reverse this?

Thanks in advance

Ok so I had my 1.47 Evo and finally decided to root. I ran unrevoked 3 and got root. 1 week later froyo for Evo came out and I got the unofficial .3 update. It gave me 2.2 but I was left with the superuser apk file. Now I'm at the official .6 update but still have the superuser apk. I try to run root apps such as wireless tether but it opens and when I make it tether it says it was unable to start tethering. Running universal androroot I touch it to root and it tells me I already have root. When I touch it to unroot it says it was unable to unroot. Can anybody help me? Please and thank you.

[Vibrant General] xplanowestx:
Something i've been seeing around the forums a lot is people defining their phone as "bricked." Please realize what a brick actually is.

When your phone can't boot into recovery, has a little image of a "phone -> pc", or whatever it may be... this does not indicate a brick, rather just a software malfunction and for the most part, recoverable.

I wanted to make sure people that are new to phone mods and such are aware of what an actual brick is, rather then reading the confusing posts about "omg is my phone bricked!?!?".

For anyone that is new, i hope this clears things up for you a bit. For more information you can read up on it from this link:

Stock clear taskbar by Rujelus on first page. If you are themed this will revert lockscreen, notification window etc

--

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can make a flashable clear/100% transparent taskbar and clear/100% transparent sense bottom bar launcher.

Ideally, the bottom bar launcher would be something like

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=385691&d=1282488980

in burst's plurstaralpha theme, which is transparent but with visible interactive buttons

The taskbar would be similar to riptide's current

http://www.johnwishon.com/themes/riptide9.png

In similar threads i've seen at least half a dozen people ask for these things, so i wouldn't be alone in using these.

Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jlechner:
I've been wanting JUST a clear taskbar for a while now. I don't want 4 million changes in a theme package, it's always one or two things I want. Wish they'd do a lot more splitting up of the mods so you can pick and choose what all you want.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrxlvr:
I really want the clear bottom bar launcher. And the 3d app drawer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jasongthang:
What would it take to get all the devs together to create a Theme Kitchen?

Or maybe just the top 5 devs or something. Because there are some really nice themes out there, and like jlechner says, the ability to pick and choose parts out of themes would be really nice.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Philosuffer:
Going to try something, my method won't be flashable but it might work...

Kitchen definitely would be nice though.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kdbrown5:
Reapply whatever previous theme you had to replace the framework-res package that made these changes i think.

It looks good, and I do appreciate the work you put into this Rujelus, thank you

unfortunately, since I had manup's theming, it reverted my clear lockscreen, clear notification bar, clear calendar widget back to stock and left black bordering around some of the smooth revolution battery, signal etc icons.

I thought framework theming was seperate lines that were added/removed but looks like its more complicated than i thought : /
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Like I said this is completely default except the 2 edits. These edits are just pictures inside framework-res and com.htc.resources there is no way that I know of to add something like this to the theme you already using unless you do the edits to the files that you are using right now. When you do an update.zip it will replace the whole file not just the edited parts.

[HD2 General] Dan.S:
Hi All,

I've got an interesting problem and I haven't found any hints elsewhere on this site or the interwebs. I have an HTC HD2 and I used the registry mod to enable GPS photos. Latest English ROM and no major mods other than Cookie's Home Tabs (which is awesome). I can take GPS pictures, show them on the map on the phone and upload them to Facebook.

The issue is, I can't find the GPS pictures anywhere on the storage device. All my photos go to /Storage Card/DCIM/Media100, but there are no GPS photos in there.

When I look at my Photo Albums on the native photo viewer, I have two Albums both named Media100. In one of these albums I have all my regular images, the same that show up in the folder listed above. In the other folder, I have all my GPS photos which I can handily view in the album (so I know they're still here somewhere).

If I search the storage card while on ActiveSync, I can find all the GPS photos that I'm searching for, but I can't access them to copy them onto my laptop.

This is a perplexing problem. It looks like somehow I have a memory naming issue and I don't know how to sort it out and I don't want to lose all my pictures. My last resort will be to go through and select each one and email it to myself, but that will take some time.

Any ideas out there?

Dan

Ok, so in my house, I always get poor reception, using 3g or GSM. I usually get about 2 bars. Anyways, when I have 3g enabled, even when I have 2 bars of service, I can't send an SMS for the life of me! I can with GSM enabled instead though, also with 2 bars.

Why is this!!

This happens on multiple ROMs too, so I highly doubt it's a ROM problem.

Any more information would be awesome!

okay so i flashed my unbranded HD2 phone many times over with chuckydroid rom and used shubCrafts build on my phone.

now my friend wanted android on his Tmobile HD2 phone also so i flashed his with chuckydroid rom and then with mattC's android with sense. turns out he de didnt like it and wanted to switch back to the stock rom.

now i acidentally flashed an unbranded HD2 stock rom back onto his Tmobile HD2 instead of the stock Tmobile rom and now its bricked. (wasnt thinking because ive done it this way with my phone all the time not even thinking that his was a different model)

light doesnt turn on when charged. cant even get into bootloader. phone doesnt work. i DID FLASH HSPL3 before it got bricked so iono if that helps any if any at all...

i feel really bad right now. can someone please help?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TaylorPPC:
Well if it won't turn on then they won't be able to see its unlocked.. as for a solution did u try manual bootload (volume up + down and press power and keep holding volume up and down) that should get u into bootload if it doesn't then its a different issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ounkeo:
You could try to flash the official tmou rom via SDCard. Just use a card reader, place the rom at the root of the card, put the card back in phone, hold volume key down + power and you *might* be able to get back to bootloader.

The issue here is that if you flashed official (non tmou) rom from the sdcard when you bricked it, it might have removed the HSPL. From what I can recall, official roms flashed from sdcard will wipe hspl.

It's worth giving it a shot. In any case, I just received an EDM from microsoft through my hotmail acct where they are doing a buy 1 get 1 free for the HD2. Might want to check it out. I'm tempted to take them up on it and have 3 HD2's.

If he has insurance on the phone just call tmobile say that the hd2 wont turn on anymore! You have no clue how it happened ! They will send a replacement! Then he has to send his phone back within a week of receiving the new one! It does have a one year warrenty but if u have to send the phone in to htc they will probably know u bricked it and void the warranty! Tmobile is really cool about warranty's so try to get one from them even if its refurbished and then leave it stock!!
