**IF you use this on a D1 it won't play smoothly, its not optimized for the D1**

I made it for my self but figured I might as well share it.

This is the stock Droid 2 boot animation. All I did was change move a couple files so that the eye will scan multiple times instead of just once.

Instructions (rooted users):

1. Download the bootanimation.zip file from above to your SD card.

2. Open Root Explorer and copy the file to /data/local or /system/media (replaces the stock)

3. Reboot your phone and enjoy your new boot animation.

Instructions (non-rooted users):

You will need the Android SDK installed to do this and know how to use ADB

1. Download the bootanimation.zip file from above to your PC.

2. Move the file into your android-sdk/tools folder.

3. Make sure nothing is selected and hold SHIFT+right click inside your tools folder.

4. Choose “open command window here.”

5. Type in the following commands:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb reboot

6. Your phone will reboot with your new boot animation.

Okay, this is slightly different from being stuck on 'starting download' My market will download just fine, up to 100% and just hang, it takes multiple cancels and restarts for it to actually INSTALL what i'm trying to install.

9/10 times it will stall on 100%, meaning the green bar will be filled up with progress, the amount downloaded will be equal to the file size, but it will never transition to "installing"

Also, my microSD card will have the download under the downloads folder, and depending on how many times i had to cancel and restart the download, it will have Download-1, download-2, download-3 etc etc filling up the folder.

Never happened on 2.1, but every FroYo ROM i've tried starts to get this behavior after a while. what gives?

My phone changes from 3G to 1X connection and its annoying because the data is so slow. How do I disable it and stick to 3G?

I'm assuming that 1X is equivalent to GPRS. Does this have something to do with a PRL that's hooking to VZW's network? I think I read that CM6 has it built in to roam on another carriers network.

I'm using CM6 and I'm not using Juice Defender by the way. I'm also using AR recovery if it matters.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Anyone have any clue why this is happening. I'm browsing the web and it keeps staying on 1X. Occasionally it'll go to 3G and bounce back. I've always had 3G coverage at work and this has been going on for a few days.

[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
When you flash your phone with a generic build, do you install your carrier CAB? Even if you don't - who IS your carrier?
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Hey Nu,

I am moving this thread to General as it serves no real purpose in dev. If you are trying to make a metric of who uses what carrier, just make it Generic... it will be easier on you ;)
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
Well, I am keeping it carrier generic, but I figure if I have lots of Sprint users like myself, then I can always put out a Sprint Specific one, or multiple specifics, since it doesn't take TOO much time. ;)

No problem relocating the thread. Sorry, I wasn't thinking when I posted it!

Nu
[Touch CDMA General] JustinHTC:
I have yet to install any carrier CABs simply because they all seem to just 'work'.

I am with Bell (Canada).
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
The biggest issue comes with MMS and Internet. If you are not using any of these, you will see no difference regardless of the carrier that you use.

Edit: The PRL comes in the carrier cab, so my statement above is only half right...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
the way boot animations on captivate is way different.

to change the AT&T world phone you have to FLASH a whole new ROM.

To change the flying burning 3G with the Galaxy S boot you need to change the bootsamsung.qmg file. to change the shutdown animation.. there are .png files to change it i forgot where..

Here's a thread I easily searched in the forums with more information.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceman0455:
Thanx for your reply. I have read that thread before. The issue I have now is that I have removed all the att stuff with the SRE rom. So what I'm trying to do now is change the Samsung S animation. Right after the att slpash screen. I'm hoping to be able to remove both the white slpash screen and the Samsung S logo and simply have just my custom boot animation. I'd like to do the same for shutdown. Just need some help. I have tried using adb to explore my phone but for some reason it will read that the device is there and it will open shell and show the $ sign. But any cmd i type just says no known path ect. So I'm not sure what is wrong there. I wanted to try to just change out the qmg file with one of my own but don't know how yet. Any ideas anyone?
[Fascinate Android Development] DigitalDementia:
Hey guys I'm just curious, anywhere you look it says the Fascinate has 512mb ROM and I'm confused because if you look at the picture below it says the Droid 2 has 8gb of ROM which is just the internal memory... so in theory wouldn't the Fascinate have 2gb of ROM not 512mb? Also if it does have 512mb how will this affect development for roms and such?

here's the link to image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53772458@N04/4971816060/
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
It will have nothing to do with it. It actually has 2gb of rom. I went n the store to play with one a.d it has 2gb of space that u can put apps on. Even if it did have that it wouldn't matter, that's what the n1, dinc, several others have, the original droid had 256, and u could say there has been a ROM or 2 made for it. No worries.
[Shift General] deprotector:
Hi,

I tried to do that using this solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3491777&postcount=2

but I failed! Maybe because this solution is for Vista and I use Windows 7 Ultimate

Is anyone here which succesfully done the connection of WM side with Windows 7 side using "Network plugin" installed on WM side (already included in Thaihugo ROMs). If anyone which do it please let us know how he do it as this is very important for our HTC Shift which don't have SD Card on WM.
[Shift General] deprotector:
Nobody is an Network Expert here?

:)
[Shift General] thaihugo:
haha :-)

Make sure you have properly setup a share under Windows 7

Create a dedicated share, don't use the share wizard (in your explorer, go to options, and deselect the last one: use sharing wizard.

Also, all your accounts must have passwords. specially administrators ones.

If you cannot connect to your share using a network computer, it will not work with the WM side.
[Shift General] deprotector:
Hi Thaihugo

I really appreciate your reply and the great ROMs you released for all of us!

My HTC Shift run your Light ROM on WM side and Windows 7 Ultimate on Windows side. My internet connection is USIM 3G/HSDPA.

I followed exactly your suggestion and also deselected "use sharing wizard" but I still get a "Map drive error".

What I can see is that "USB Tools" works for me only with "Enable advanced network functionaly" deselected and once the WM side si connected with Windows 7 side through ActiveSync then the internet connection become unavailable. Once the USB Tool "cable" is disconnected the internet connection become available.

I have only one Administrator user on my Windows 7 and is password protected.

My Windows 7 Internet Connection is defined as "Home" internet connection.

My PC name was defined as genuine name "SHIFT" as on your first instructions.

When I enter \\shift and press Enter I can see folders "Users" and "HTC Shift" (shared by me) as Shared Folders!

I also look inside "Change advanced sharing settings" and "network discovery" is turned on.

And I stilll can't map the network drive and believe me that I lost hours trying everything and searching Google but nothing works...

If you have any other suggestion please let me know and I will try...

Thanks!
[Shift General] thaihugo:
Create a share without any right (all users allowed, on share and on NTFS)

go to the file explorer on WM side. Select menu, then open path - new path

enter \\shift\yourshare

It should connect.

If not, go to the Windows 7 side, click on the start menu, and search for "local". You will have local policy settings.

go to local policy, security settings, then network security: LAN manager authentication level. Select "send LM and NTLM responses". Confirm, reboot your pc and retry. It should work.
[Shift General] deprotector:
Thaihugo, thank you again for your real help.

I followed exactly the steps you suggest me and still can't connect and I tried even with USB Tools connected to Windows 7 side (internet connection not available) and also without USB Tools (internet connection available).

As I told you when "USB Tools" is connected to Windows 7 side then the internet connection becomes unavailable (disconnected) and once the "USB Tools" is disconnected the internet connection becomes available on Windows 7 side (reconnected).

Also for me "USB Tools" works only if I disable "Enable advanced network functionality".

I also disabled my Firewall on Windows 7 but nothing works... there should be other settings for me?

Thanks!
[Shift General] thaihugo:
Nope, you have all the keys. Did you make sure the policy is changed as instructed?

You MUST connect USBtools, and yes, 3G connection will not be available during this.

I suggest you retry all this steps. I've done it on my own shift using exactly the same configuration.
[Shift General] thaihugo:
Concentrate on trying point 9, and on checking point 10. Maybe you have something else blocking up. I would suggest trying with another computer, and maybe if you can another pocket pc on the same wifi network.

I'm sorry I cannot help you further. Have you other devices available for diagnostics?

BTW: I have my phone off, no sim card
[Shift General] deprotector:
My phone is turned ON and I have sim card inside as the internet connection come from my sim card (3G/HSDPA). My WiFi is turned OFF and Bluetooth ON (bluetooth mouse Microsoft 5000 on it).

Other devices I have is other HTC Shift where I have the same issue and my notebook with Windows XP Pro.
[Shift General] thaihugo:
try turning phone off and remove your sim card (just to be sure). Also, please try to connect from your XP computer.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] donatom3:
This is all going to be based on everyone's opinion. I think Swift Key Beta is the best keyboard. I like Swype, the best for one handed typing, but trust me on longer words it's going to slow you down more than anything. The longer you use Swift Key the more it learns your speech and actually starts suggesting what word you'd type next, and it's pretty darn accurate. Plus it has a button for voice typing, and it's in the market no need to go find super secret beta apk's that the developer doesn't want you to have.

I'm partial to Stock Android browser not the HTC browser.

HTC _IME Mod is the best keyboard, because you can use gestures to delete the last word or the whole text input. :D So for example i have swyping down set to deleting the last word i typed....this way is much easier rather than using the delete key.

I was a swype user and lover untill i found Swift Key Beta. This is keyboard amazes me sometimes.

Give it 2 days.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SantinoInc:
Stock browser and stock keyboard on 2.2.

I'm not even bullshitting here...the default browser is pretty damn fast and displays all content properly. Yeah, Dolphin HD has more features and stuff but imo it can't really do anything the stock browser can't do.

As for all these Swype type keyboards...I think they are garbage. I tried them and just can't get the hang of it. As your sliding your finger across the keyboard your other fingers are obscuring the keyboard so you can't see what your doing. I don't like it at all. BetterKeyboard is ok, but I don't think its any better than the stock keyboard.

Most of these alternative keyboards have arrows too. Just not right there all the time which some people find in the way or taking up space if you use them often. Swype does, SmartKeyboardPro does.

And I don't think you can just extract that (I may be wrong). I've been wanting that for the longest. I know HTC implemented it into their android browser and email program. Wish they did it all around.

Is there any way to force it to connect using the right security?
