Same here, thank you for the boot anim :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Davidm65:
What a first-class animation, simple but very stylish indeed. But I have one problem. Installation. And I will point out that I'm a n00b but one that's good at following instructions.

I've followed the instructions in the OP but when i navigate to system/media via Root Explorer I cannot find the current bootanimation.zip. What I do have are these folders /audio and /video (the latter I note has a shutdown folder inside) and two dozen or so .qmg files: 20 of which are battery_charging_x.qmg with the x represneting numbers increasing by 5 starting from 5, if that make sense, plus bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, chargingwarning.qmg and disconnected.qmg.

As I said, I'm a real n00b whose starting to learn. I have no idea what a .qmg file is but I'm guessing the bootsamsung.qmg and the bootsamsungloop.qmg have something to do with the current standard Samsung boot animation.

What am I doing wrong? Does my kernel allow for a custom boot animation.

I am running a custom ROM from Doc's kitchen (XXJPY, baseband JPE and the kernel is hardcore's speedmod k12I) with LitePro Skyline Blue V5 theme.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice and apologies for the length of the post but I thought it best to supply as much information as I can.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Cloudstripe:
This is cool!! Thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] fAtaXe:
since you are running hardcore, you can just put the bootanimation.zip into the mentioned directory (/system/media) and it will play it.

I am running k12J and it works just fine!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Davidm65:
Works like a charm. one question. is it possible to hve this as my shutdown animation as well?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
hey nice animations! i have a request: maybe the droid eye flickering back and forth kind of static-like with the clockworkmod logo on a black backround. i would definitely use that and bet that others would also.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] nycorduroy:
Sweet. Just grabbed the blue zip. Looks sick dude. Great work!

Sh******t, if I knew it was gonna be this kind of party I woulda stuck my d*** in the mashed potatoes.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
lolwut? thats a little strange
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jdubois718:
Can you explain the install in more detail, i'm kinda new at this. When i try to paste it says it is out of space, but my phone is relatively new and doesn't have much stuff on it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] spartan141:
Love the bootanimation but too noobish to try to punch in commands. Can you by any chance make these into a simple update.zip format for those of us who are not familiar with root explorer.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mr.klee:
first, i wanna state, that i'm really new to linux/android, so this is not a professional instruction. BUT: it worked for me! however, you're responsible, for what you are doing.

!YOU HAVE TO BE ROOT TO DO THIS!

to get this running via terminal emulator, you have to do the following steps:

(-1. download the gdbootanimation.zip to your phone, write down the directory, should be "/sdcard/download/", if downloaded via android-browser)

(0. download terminal emulator from the market)

1. open terminal emulator

2. put in su and hit enter

3. you will be asked, if you wanna give terminal emulator super user rights, accept that

4. put in mount -o remount rw /system and hit enter

5. put in cp /sdcard/download/gdbootanimation.zip /system/media/ and hit enter (instead of /sdcard/download/ you have to put in the directory, where gdbootanimation.zip is)

6. put in cd /system/media/ and hit enter

7. put in ls and hit enter (you will see all your files in /system/media/, hopefully you can see "gdbootanimation.zip" and "bootanimation.zip", if not, try to start again)

8. put in mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak and hit enter

9. put in mv gdbootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip and hit enter

10. exit terminal emulator by pressing the "back"-button twice

11. reboot your phone and enjoy!

cheers!

Does someone have the zip that flipz had in his updater. Its having me install it again and I can't.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utb:
Bump.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] HENDAWG:
Bump, I need it also.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] HENDAWG:
I found the update in Freshupdater, downloaded without any problems.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] utb:
Think you can send it to me? Its not showing up in mine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] imneveral0ne:
ya can someone post it? wish he would have the new apps in his thread for you to download. guess thats his way of making you use his rom lol.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
There is a flashable zip for the VVM update in my ROM's OP.

Thank you very much <3
[HD2 General] lenstan57:
I've been looking at the core cell evo rom. Since I will probably change my hd2 after using it as is for awhile. I'm just looking how things work, before I try it. This file is new to me, what did I need to open it. Or when I flash it will it open? Thanks, len
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
.rar files are basically the same as .zip just a different compression method. You can use Winzip or Winrar to unzip them.
[HD2 General] lenstan57:
Thanks I found it. Worked just find. Just getting my ducks in a row for when I decide to flash a new rom. I want to check out how it works stock, before I do anything else/

Thanks Again, Len
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Yeah make sure you read A LOT, specially if you have a T-moUS HD2.

Good luck.

How can i read the HD2 windows folder on my pc?

Edit..

There has to be a way im just missing something simple.. trying to learn a new scripting language (well new to me lua) and it would be nice to be able to edit it in dreamweaver and check to see the edits in windows before i launched it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeed:
it's a view thing

don't know which version of windows you're running, but go to folder and search options (or folder options), then on the view tab, push the radio button to view hidden files and folders, then click apply.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bmentality:
vista.. so should i be opening it in disk mode or active sync?

im trying it in disk mode noe but its still showing an empty folder.. this has to be some simple ass **** im just overlooking
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bmentality:
i changed all my permissions to show extensions , protected system files and hidden files.. and still cant see anything in the hd2 windows folder/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bmentality:
ok got it..

control panel.. customize... hidden files.. allow hidden filles/ extensions/ protected files to be shown..

then un plug and re plug phone back in as active sync and there they are

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
just for info disk mode only allows access to the sd card.

in my experience the windows folder takes so long to open through the pc explorer that i

create the file on the pc,

copy to the sd card

use phone file man to copy into windows

test it, if more work needed edit the copy already on the pc, and copy that to sd then phone file man again to copy over the one in windows.

a bit awkward, but still quicker than the two minutes it can take to open when you try to open the windows folder from the pc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRLOS:
Im probably missing something really small here..

Running Windows 7 Pro x64 (desktop)

I have unticked the "Hide Protected Operating System Files" in Windows Explorer and can see the Windows folder on the HD2

...... BUT.......

When I click onto it, Windows Explorer just sits there loading, and loading... and just sit there loading. Nothing comes up.

I have even left it for over 10 minutes and it still sits there loading. When I try to close Explorer, it tells me the program has stopped responding and crashes.

Any ideas ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanlaw:
I've got Win7 x64 as well. Loading the Windows directory on the HD2 is really slow - maybe 2 minutes? - but it does load. Not too sure what your problem is; perhaps antivirus is interfering?
[Nexus One Accessories] houzuoguo:
Hi everyone..

My nexus one's battery can last about 1 and half days but sometimes it runs out before I have chance to recharge it..

I live in Melbourne, Australia, does anyone know how can I get OEM batteries in Melbourne?

Many thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] herrwinkler:
I think the incredible uses the same battery.
[Nexus One Accessories] j03uen:
The desire uses the same battery so maybe pop down to a mobile phone shop, Footscray, and then ask for the Desire battery
[Nexus One Accessories] DataControlTeam:
I bought an OEM battery from Google when I got my N1, but Google isn't selling the N1 anymore. Vodafone however is, but with the SLCD screen. I'm not sure if there'll be any difference in rating if the SLCD screen needs more or less power than the OLED screen.

Anyway, after reading posts by d0ugie on the subject of OEM vs aftermarket batteries in this forum, I'd go with the OEM batteries.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
So, I see a lot of different information about full wipes. First, just to make sure, a full wipe is the factory reset, correct?

Assuming this is the case, why do I see people say that a full wipe is recommended before install of another ROM? Since you are factory resetting, wouldn't you want to reset TO the ROM you are installing? Thus, wouldn't you wipe AFTER a flash?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
You wipe before to give the new ROM a clean slate to be flashed on. It is a good idea to do this to ensure that no ROM specific data messes with the new ROM. Otherwise you might notice FC or other problems.

Does a factory reset cover the cache wipes as well? or should one do those after the factory reset. Also, would it be a good idea to wipe / flash / wipe?

Dear all members,

I notice that default camera app cannot have timestamp with date when you take photo.

I have also tried out Vignette and find it better than the stock camera app as it has the auto flash function.

Anyone know whether these is better camera apps?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] awojtas:
I've tried most of the other camera apps and ended up buying Vignette. It is one of the few that takes full 8mp photos, the focusing works correctly, and it saves the images to the SDcard\DCIM folder.

Camera360 was okay, but I found the photos weren't up to par detail-wise, and I didn't like the interface so much.

I still use the SE Camera app for video.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chongbh:
Thanks for your feedback, I am using vignette full version but it does not have the time stamp for photos. I do like the touch to take photos.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
I have Vignette as well but i feel that it doesnt take the photo as fast as the stock camera. I end up just missing the moment i wanted to capture. Anyone else experience this? That being said i find i use the stock camera more often than not.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] blue_mice:
hi,

i m using Vignette as well.

Is there anyway to set macro mode in this app ?

thanks

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] widebhoy:
ive been using the stock camera, silent cam, and vignette. i lile vignette the best, but what i really want is a camera with a manual focus. if anyone knows of anything or if its possible please reply.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
I want a camera app where i can control ISO speed :o
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TrietHocNhanSinh:
You and others are asking too much out of a phone. Go get a digital camera, better convenience.

Sorry in advance if my words are harsh to bear.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
:) I have one... Thing is, I have the phone with me every day... I can't say the same about my D90.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] widebhoy:
What he said:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] awojtas:
I wonder if it's possible to read the ISO, shutter etc from the camera. I'm guessing the API abstracts and hides these settings; or perhaps Sony restrict them from being set.

Obviously the aperture is fixed (f2.8) for this type of camera lens.

I've noticed that the ISO is often increased to ISO1000 when it doesn't seem to be necessary. And at other times, the camera selects a very slow shutter speed (1/8sec) when it should increase the ISO, to prevent blurring.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sean48:
Vingette doesnt allow zoom in 8mp which completely ruined the program for me.... it focuses on one point rather than zoom the full image. is this a known issue with the ap or is it just me?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] andy8271:
When you actually take the photo it should look the same as default camera. That's sort of how digital zoom works. I'm failing to be able to describe it properly though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevor4g:
i just did the 2.2 root method and then tried flashing cyanogen mod and now my phone won't turn back on. i've taken the battery out and put it pack in i've tried charging and the light doesn't even come on.

so what should i do does anyone know how to fix this or do i have to go return my phone for being "defective".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
Have you tried to hold volume down and the power button so you could boot into recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevor4g:
yeah that doesn't work either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevor4g:
so now what do i do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
How is it "defective"? If you put an unapproved firmware (not considered defective)on the phone and htc finds out when they test it at the factory to refurbish it, they will void your warranty...if I were you I'd try to SEARCH these forums. I'm sure others have had the same problem as you and found a way to fix it. I have not seen a truly "bricked" phone yet. I thought I read a post somewhere that it took the battery being out over nite and it worked in the morning for what ever reason...any way good luck I truly hope you find a way to fix it cuz its a crap shoot bringing it in for a bad flash.

But honestly, you knew the risks involved in flashing your phone, so I dont see how you could think the phone is defective...and htc and sprint both know people are flashing their phones, an a they read these forums. If you have a cool dude at the sprint store you might be better off telling them the truth and they might just hook ya up for being honest..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
So I hear that Tmobile keeps winning award after award for Customer Service. Yet in my (so far short) period of time(approx 1 year) i have YET to have a good customer service call.

The situation:

I had to finance my own cell phone bill so i decided to go on flexpay since I was only 18 at the time and was unsure if I would be able to continue payment while being a college student. So after many month I have decided that I would like to do somethings with my account that wont work with Flexpay, one of the majors being Google Voice as a VM service. So I call Tmobile up and ask if i can change to a regular postpayment, they either tell me that no i cant, due to not fulfilling the 6 month of good payment (i have had 9 months of flawless payment i assure you) OR i cant swap to a post payment and remain off contract on an EM+ plan. I have called at least 10 times in the past month and a half and have never been able to get anywhere, half the time i cant even understand what the other person on the line is saying, either they dont speak english clearly and talk way too f'ing fast, or they are so quiet i cant hear them.

Can someone please help me with this, is there a way to get someone who guarantees speaking english or actually knows what they are talking about. Im pretty sure I can go on post payment and remain off contract, but the Reps think otherwise. And whats with my 9 out of the 6 months not counting?! Whenever I ask why, they confirm that i have done 9 months of flawless payment, then respond that they dont know, when i ask if they can connect me with someone that does, i get rerouted back to Tmobiles main menu!!!

I dont know about you guys, i love tmobiles prices but their customer service is total crap. If this is award winning customer service, i shudder to think what the other carrier's customer service is like.

Please help, im really frustrated and about to say "**** it" and move to another carrier!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I have yet to have a bad customer service experience with T-mobile... or to speak to anyone that doesn't speak American English.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguyzx:
Have you tried going into a local branch?

Tried searching the net for an answer and got nothing. I do know my mother had flexpay contract and moved to postpaid contract without issues at all. But no idea on the no contract transfers.

As for T-Mobile, I've had them since I turned 18, now, 5 years later, still with them. They even gave me "Loyalty" rates. It's like $10 cheaper for the unlimited minutes. Never had a problem, nor got a non english speaker. They've given me many several free replacements & deducted fees when I called in over the years.

I can't compare myself, but having worked at Radioshack some time ago, customers rated service in order of best to worst T-Mo >Sprint >Verizon >AT&T . Again, this is only what the customers who I spoke to would rate them as. Hope that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
i guess i should clarify, as i wrote the OP when i was kinda steaming.

All the Reps i have gotten are English speaking, but its the degree of difficulty of trying to understand them (for most english is not their first language) that i was talking about. Also, sadly being a college student, who cant drive and lives in another city from his hometown kinda makes it so i cant really go to a tmobile store. But just to make sure im not insane in the brain. (i know ive asked this before here but w/e) Just to confirm, i can transfer to a post payment plan and still remain off contract on a EM+? This is where the language barrier is becoming a problem, because (either i cant understand them or they cant understand me) they have told me many times, that I cannot do that, but im pretty damn sure you can, which is why i was so steamed earlier as i keep calling and they tell me i cant. Now, im not gonna sit there on a phone and argue with a Rep, i'd much rather spend my time ending the call and trying to get with another Rep, but ive gotten more of the "you cant do that" answer instead of the "yeah, sure you can" answer. And whenever I find someone who says I can do that, they put me on hold or they attempt to transfer me, and all the sudden I GET ROUTED TO THE TMOBILE MAIN MENU!!! This cycle is MADDENING!!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguyzx:
Just gave the tmobile forums a sweep. No one has asked your question of Flexpay to Even More Plus, so maybe you should post there. It seems to be your best bet for a clarified answer as to if it's possible, then after that if its yes, you'd need to request a supervisor next time if you can.

Flexpay to EvenMore is mentioned as possible, but I didn't see options for plus.

And as a side note, apparently Flexpay customer service is a separate branch... so what you've been experiencing is what many others describe exactly as you do, and it's not what postpaids experience. That sucks. But that explains the awards vs your experience. that blows..

[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Doesn't black backround help save the battery?
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Yes. The brighter the colors, the more battery is used to display them. White is the worst. Black is the best.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Also, red uses less power than green or blue.

So if you want some color in your black background, make it red.
[Epic 4G General] UniqueNate:
It's funny cause even when you post what you have on here you don't really see how good it is unless you see it in person. Not even video really catches how good the screen is. But I know what you guys mean. I'm happy with this phone.
[Epic 4G General] rmt5:
Where can one download an all solid-color wallpaper (without also downloading launcher pro)?
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
Open up photoshop (or Gimp for a free solution), set the resolution to 800x480, and make it a solid color. Then save it to the phone.

You'd have to use a .png, and .png with transparency default to black when transparency isn't supported.
