how to put in a subtittle .avi or .mkv player in the original samsung? I'm putting the same name and not getting this, anyone got?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iamreal2:
mVideoPlayer supports subtitles (you can even set encoding of srt subtitles)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Also Act 1 video player works
[Galaxy S I9000 General] job:
Also rockplayer

Sent from my... you know!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
I found most shows come with .ass subtitles and Android video players primarily support .srt. You can use mkvmerge to convert .ass to .srt easily enough. Worked for me in Meridian but converting to .srt removes all formatting and whatnot so things can get pretty dicey.

So i followed the steps on droid life to getting new R2 boot animation but i am still getting my SKY RAIDER boot to load......Any suggestions on how to fix this.....

I am currently running Skyraider 3.0 Vanilla.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cameron_S:
You should put the bootanimation.zip in /system/media any other place and its just wasting space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breezasib:
Had a nexus one with froyo and when I used the search soft key it would always search the phone first before the web. So I always used it to lookup contacts and they were always first in the list of returned items.

Got a desire today with froyo out of the box. When I search on this it looks like the web results are displayed before the phone contents so my contacts are either at the bottom of the list or not displayed at all. I can see how I add and remove options to search different categories but I see no way of changing the order the results are displayed.

Am I missing something obvious here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breezasib:
Found it. Google search suggestions was turned on. Switched it off and it has fixed my problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaki67:
Sorry there must be a simple way but i just cant find it, just shifted from an htc desire and i cant find a way to assign a ringtone to individual contacts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
You can only do it for contacts stored on the phone not google contacts sadly. You just long press a contact and then select edit and you can select ringtone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaki67:
I have contacts synced from an exchange server, guess same rule as google contacts apply.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Yeah probably.hopefully this will be remedied in froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I find i can assign them when using ringdroid
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Is that a free app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
It's a right pain in the arse... but if you want you can make a new contact on your phone or sim card using just the name!! add a ringtone, then edit, link contact, and link it to your exchange contact then it will work.. As I say a pain in the arse but the only way I found to give some of my gmail contact a ringtone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaki67:
I do not think that this is a froyo thing, ithis option was on htc desire before it was updated to 2.2, heck this ootion was on my winmo phones years ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Yes ringdroid is free on market

I've been opening up framework-res.apk as a zip file and changing around icons for my status bar with other themes. I just replaced the signal bars icons and the 3G icons, repackaged the framework into a zip file, and applied it via rom manager. No Icon change. I've been able to replace several before, any ideas why it wouldn't work now? I reopened the file and verified the icons had been changed.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] M4gicM@:
The icons you are looking for are in com.htc.resources.apk

If you have something specifically you want changed I can tell you where it is located and what the filename is. I am building some theme tutorial videos because I had a hard time finding all of this information. I want to make it easier for others. I remember all the way back in June when I got frustrated finding what files went where. I am making a list to help others out, let me know what you are looking for.

Subscribed!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] spjoneser:
subscribed as well, a video with some info would be great. I am definitely no developer, but not afraid to mess around a bit. I was also interested in making similar changes as OP.

In fact I am using Jerick's smooth sense mod with white letter mod by squintz, and a couple of the icons were coming up out of order. I was not cool enough to be able to repair the info that points to an icon so I found the icons in framework-res.apk and changed the names of them so that I would get the correct icon in status bar. But obvously that is not the correct fix. However this is where the icons OP is talking about. So if I can make a name change to a png can't you also replace that png. I believe that the apk has to be signed correctly after manipulating?

Anyways any basic info about doing such would be greatly appreciated:)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] luniz7:
You don't need to resign the apk unless you completely extract it. Then good luck trying to get a system apk to work. Just open the archive and replace needed imgs then update the archive and you're done. All depends on what os your using. Linux makes it easy to edit apks without extracting. In win you have to rename to .zip then do line I said then rename back to .apk
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jskolm:
Which files specifically are the signal meter? I just want to change those ones back to the stock icons.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] M4gicM@:
I can tell you later (i dont have the dump on hand) but the signal meter pngs are located in com.htc.resources.apk under /res/drawlablehdpi/ thay have a name like sys_status_cdma1 or something like that. I think if you get that far the images might jump out at you. If you want the exact ones I can tell you when I get back from work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jskolm:
Found them. Thanks for the direction. I was looking through the folders and I couldn't find them, because they are transparent backgrounds, so the white on white blended right in. I changed out the signals for the ones I wanted and everything looks like its working now.

Thanks for your help!

Just recently Vlingo has been asking me to enter an activation code to use its features but when I click on enter it directs me to the browser and gets an internal error?

If I uninstall and re-install it, it works once then asks for activation again.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
uninstall it

then install the new version of vlingo

vlingo is free now

it used to be a paid app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
My amazing mind reading powers tell me you are using Android 2.2.....

Nah I am using it as well and have the same problem. I am sure it is something to do with Froyo and not Vlingo same as with Task Manager 1.14 breaking it if you install that as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
Delete it from your phone then install from the market. if it still asks for an activation it will work this time. I went through this yesterday
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archpope:
I've been reading all over these forums about a lagfix that is available, but I can't figure out why I need it. My Captivate seems incredibly fast in everything it does, including reading files off of very slow cards. Is there a way I can see this supposed lag manifest itself?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Run a crapload of apps on the phone. and then see if it comes up. You can even try to install more than 50 apps and see if it comes up. Not sure why you would wanna do this though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archpope:
Tried that. I started up 22 different apps, one of which was Google Earth, then opened up a HD video to play. Not so much as a hiccup. And I only have a class 2 SD card.

I guess I should be glad that I have no discernible lag to fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
There are a couple situations I have seen like adding things to the home screen and wakeup lag. Other than that the problem sneaks up during quadrant benchmarks causing the phone to hang really bad. The lag fix works but isn't gonna make it faster in every day situations other than the one or two places it acts up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Ohh I got it! Try to install more than 5 small apps at a time from the market. It always just hangs while they get installed

Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
i barely noticed it too.. but I installed lagfix anyway lol :D.. as you keep using your phone more.. after you use the fix.. and revert back.. you somewhat notice differences in speed.. maybe it's just all in my head though :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jav92:
Hello everyone, reading on forums 4 days ago, I discovered an app for android that allows you to send a SMS to your phone with specific test written on it and the phone automatically turns into max volume and start ringing... I found the app VERY useful when you loose your phone and don't have any idea where it could be, I know that there are tons of apps for stolen phones or so that blocks and protect your phone, but even though I searched a lot for an app like the one I described before for WM, I didn't find anything... Any one knows of one?? Thanks!

Okay, I have the donated version of ROM Manager, Koush rules, and I checked the box for advanced users to see what the extras are under Download ROMS and see Superuser 2.1.1 cd cupcake/donut and Superuser2.3.1 ef Eclair/Froyo. Has anyone tried these? I am scared to try them without knowing what they are.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Lol they're just the super user apps if there's nothing wrong with apps that require root then you don't need it

[Windows Mobile] MusikMonk:
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I've picked up a kitchen from a retired chef so as not to reinvent the wheel since most of the changes I'm looking to do are rather minor.

One thing that's been bugging me is a small splash screen that only appears during the first boot over the welcomehead. At first I thought it was a part of RunCC as it appears above the progress bars when RunCC runs, but I took out the whole packaged (replaced it with XDA_UC) and the splash still appears for about 5 to 10 seconds during the first boot before I get to windows.

I looked through the image files (*.png/*.bmp/*.gif/*.jp[e]g) but couldn't find it anywhere, so I'm guessing it's a resource inside a dll (or some other binary file) but I can't figure out which?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything related to my question by searching.

Edit:

Some pics for clarification (sorry about the quality, I only have my laptop's webcam to take images with for the time being):

Animation/Welcomehead:

The splash in question:

In case you're wondering, it reads: "Nhathoa ROMs - Windows Phone" (check my sig for more info).

It appears for about 10 seconds and then it's replaced by the Microsoft copyright text:
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Check for Wellcomehead.png it must be inside Operator package or some OEM folder.

EDIT: sorry maybe i didnt understand right, anyway:

1st Boot = Splash.nb

2nd screen Wellcomehead

3rd RunCC

Those are the sequence.
[Windows Mobile] MusikMonk:
Actually, none of those is the one that I'm talking about.

I'll try to get some pics to better explain what I'm talking about.

Edit: First post updated with pictures.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
I downloaded the Kitchen in your sig,i took the TD2 Kitchen 2008 and i found nothing.

Im pretty sure that the pics you posted before are the Splash Screen.

You can make a test for be sure, download this Topaz Splash Screen http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589777 , or one that you like, and check if it will change and that words will disappear.
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
I also want to know what this is, I know which images it uses though.

This is what I know about it:

It runs on first boot after which is after splash.nb and then the HTC animation (<-- btw, anyone know how to remove this completely?).

It uses the normal welcomehead.png as the wallpaper.

It uses PB1.bmp to PB14.bmp for loading bars (although yours don't seem to have it :?)

It uses LogoMsg.bmp to display an overlay (I think this, in your case, is that "Nhathoa ROMs - Windows Phone" image)

Hope this is the same thing you're talking about, and I hope it helps :)

It uses
[Windows Mobile] MusikMonk:
Yes! That's exactly the file I was looking for! Thank you veeery much!

I must have forgotten to search for *.bmp files under OEM and only looked in the EXT folder. :o

As for the loading bars, they don't appear when you don't cook RunCC (which is the case for me).

Oh, and about disabling the startup animation, making this reg entry point to a non-existing file can do the trick:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"StartupGif"="\\Windows\\imaginaryFile.gif"

After doing this change, the screen will show a black screen between the boot splash and the welcome head, or where the animation used to be.

Got that from the "BSB Tweaks" utility, but I ended up not using it. I didn't feel any difference in booting time.

I don't know if there's an alternative method.
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
old thread but BUMP

this is the original wm logo i have.

LogoMsg.bmp

is there any edited ones somewhere? cool ones? :)

thanks

[Epic 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I am having problems with my bevel on my Epic. When I tap the screen it feels as if it is hitting something below it, and when I push down on the glass the slightest bit it actually goes down a little bit where you can see it move, I might be nit picking or not maybe it is supposed to do this. The corners dont just the middle and the side. Anyone else have this problem?
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Sounds like you have a defective model. You might want to get yours swapped for a new one. The glass is solidly aligned with the bevel on my phone.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Keethos:
Taken from their site:

"MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space."

So its Nokia's and Intel's rival to Google's Android using Linux....am I right? I've only just heard about meego myself :D

Looks like the boot.img will allow a dual boot? For sure we're loading the OS from SD card. If no dual boot, it would just be a matter of reflashing a "stock" boot.img to get back to where we started, yes?

No dual boot (yet).

To get back to android you just need to reflash stock android boot.img.

[Android Apps and Games] Luggruff:
im going crazy.. I know there was an app posted here at xda a while ago allowing you to draw a custom shape on the home screen to launch an app phone call.. I google it, search the forums and the main site.. but with no luck. anyone know where i can get a hold of this great app?
[Android Apps and Games] TopazAaron:
I think its called open gesture.

Hope that helps
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
There are two apps that come to mind

Gesture search (free app) is an app from google I believe that uses gestures (I know it will recoginze letters not sure about numbers or shapes though shapes would be useless based on what this app is designed to do) to search through your contacts, installed apps, and bookmarks.

An example of how it works:

Lets say I want to launch handcent

Launch Gesture Search

I use my finger to draw a 'h'

all apps or contacts with an h in them are now displayed

I next draw a 'a'

further refines the list to things with an 'ha' in them

etc

This app can be launched by flicking the phone in a certain manor but I have a difficult time doing this, I recommend using Gesture Bar(free app) in conjunction with this app. It puts an icon in the status bar and when you pull down the status bar, click on the icon it will launch the Gesture Search app.

Sign is an app developed by simply applied. This app lets you assign a gesture (any shape, symbol, etc you can draw) to a contact and then when you draw said assigned gesture on the screen while the widget is active you will either cal or txt the person that gesture is assigned to. It is actually a really cool app, though it is a paid app. The paid version allows unlimited gestures. If you want to try the app out first there is a free version, signlite, that limits you to three gestures.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raginbullsht:
My Incredible is the first Droid phone (Previously iPhone) etc..

I am thinking about rooting the phone just for general cleanup of misc applications and maybe a few general teeks etc. I would like to ask a few questions that I cannot seem to find answers to.

1. can ver. 2.2 stock be rooted currently? I see that unrevoked has removed the current 1 click root

2. anyone able to delete large quantities of sms messages from hand-cent without the phone locking up? (well over 9k now)

3. anyone able to remove misc apps (cityid or Verizon) from stock 2.2 without rooting?

I am still looking around in here so I may end up finding my own answers, but if you would like to point me in a few good directions that would be great.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johantheolive:
I'm a new droid user coming from an iphone and it's such a better platform it's mind boggling, especially if your technical.

I can't answer number two as I'm not a big texter. 2.2 can be rooted, if im not mistaken, a new version of unrevoked was released I think. You can alternatively flash an already rooted ROM based on the OTA if you prefer. As for removing Verizon's trash, I don't believe it's possible without rooting. I'm not sure what the reservations about rooting are as it doesn't really change anything noticable about the phone, but I would do it if for no other reason than to get ride of the crapware.
