Below was my attempt and it didn't work!

But jthurs was able to have a dancing android with a full while background.

I added a song (It's peanutbutter Jelly Time) in a zip file it

should be good!

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

I tried to make the dancing droid a boot animation today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Some helpful information!~~~~~~~~~~~~​

I use root explorer to change my boot animation. To do so you I took the bootanimation.zip file and put the file in /system/customize/resource folder also tried in system/media and in data/local and rebooted my HTC Evo and it worked.

1st attempt:

When I added my created bootanimation it to /system/customize/resource folder I saw the Starwars bootanimation (which is in good quality). I looked in /system/customize/resource folder and the starwars bootanimation.zip file wasn’t in there I found it in system/media folder. So I changed the name so it would no longer show up.

2nd Attempt:

I added my bootanimation.zip file to system/media and rebooted my phone and this time it showed the old version of the word andoid that looks like a splash screen from the G1.

3rd Attempt:

I than checked data/local folder and saw a bootanimation.zip in there and changed that name and added my bootanimation.zip file when I rebooted I saw the old style anroid splash screen again.

Conclusion from my many attempts!!!!

Conclusion 1:

I think there’s a preference in location where the phone will look for the bootanimation. I could be wrong but I think it goes in this order:

1. /system/customize/resource folder

2. /system/media folder

3. data/local

Conclusion 2:

Also I think I made a bad file for the boot animation.

Attempt 1:

The boot animation zip file consisted of a desc.txt file with the code

in it. and a folder named “part 0” with all the dancingdroid png files.

I created the zip file with 7-zip and added it to archive and created a 7z file and archive format store.

Attempt 2:

This one had 3 files:

Folder named “part0” a desc.txt file and a Thumbs.db.(this file was automatically created when I made the zip file and archive format store.

This time when I archived it I made sure to create a .zip file. Also the code looked this this:

When i tried this bootanimation i just saw a black screen.

Can anyone show me some insight or help?? If you think I should take this post out of here or put it somewhere else let me know A.S.A.P.

If you like take a look at the bootanimation i have created!!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bluebeast213:
Did you make sure that the zip program was set to "store" and not "compress"? If the zip file is compressed any, it won't show.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bboy_201:
I did that

@bluebeast213 I did archive format as store.

If you like you can take a look at the bootanimation file i created. I added the attachment to the original post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
three quick tips

1. bootanimation.zip cannot be compressed the compress must be on store winrar has this option win you make a zip file under the compress type.

2. if your seeing the android bootanimation its because your system can't find a bootanimation.zip so it reverts to the default one.

3. the desc.txt describes how to animate the bootanimation. heres a break down

480 800 10 .... this means its resolution 480 width by 800 height and the last is the frames per second.

p 0 0 part0 p= part... the first zero is the delay before playing... the second 0 is how many times to loop with zero it loops forever and part0 is the folder to look in for this particular part.

I'll come back later and try and help more.

Edit: if your seeing a black screen your bootanimation is in the right place but your bootanimation.zip is compressed and the compression needs to be on store.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bboy_201:
Thanks

hmmmm.....

when i use the 7-zip program it gives me the option to store and i did that the 2nd time around and that's how i got the black screen. I will try again.

This is the Droid dance boot animation that I customized a little to work good with my evo. I made it have twice as many frames and run twice as fast. It looks great and has no lag. Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer to replace your original in /system/customize/resource and it should run when u reboot. If you want a sound clip to go with it use ringdroid app to make a 20 second .mp3 clip for the Droid to dance to and rename it to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Good luck and enjoy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bboy_201:
No good!

@Clay333 I tried the link http://db.tt/tdsEB50 and it didn't work

UPdate.

I think my connection was bad or the page was bad but it's downloading now.

Update!

It worked! Thank you!

I just wish the background was all the same color
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] amigo_s:
Hi,

When I try to flash this, I just get my old bootanimation back, nothing happens really :-(

I would really like to get this working, because it's awesome!

edit: I got the bootanimation working by just pushing bootanimation in /data/local/

Thanks anyway for this awesome animation!!

cheers

Is there a task tiller that actually works with froyo I tried a bunch from the market but .none of them seem to work apps will still run on the background tanks in advance
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] mylostlonelysoul:
Advance Task Killer Free works great for me
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] heybobitsme:
You don't need a task killer. Android 2.0 and up uses what is called an out of memory manager (OOM). If the phone needs memory for something, it'll automatically kill apps to free up space. If you really want to control your phones memory, get an app like Autokiller. It'll allow you to change the OOM manager settings. But, like I said, with 512MB of memory, you don't need it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] kylehase:
You only mention killing an app to free up memory but what if you want to kill it because it's consuming network resources or has gotten into a bad state?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] acejoker25000:
You can also kill apps with it but if it's an app taking services it will most likely just restart after killing because chances are more then one app is using that service which is why its being used a lot in the first place
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ltilt2:
Can someone direct me to a nice lite fast rom for the above device. I'm looking for something superlite.

Yes, I have search and most roms, even though they say they are lite, they have a bunch of stuff in them plus, i hate htc message client.

Thank you so much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
if you do not like sense, then use one of the titanium rom. Energy titanium is pretty nice. He updates them pretty rapidly and the rom is quite stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ltilt2:
I've tried NRGZ28 Titanium rom but still has a lot of stuff that i dont use. like games and other things.

I need something superlite.

N E 1????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] OndraSter:
If you wait till this weekend, I will finish one, I'm tired of Sense too (too slow)/TF3D (buggy on WM6.5.5/6.5.3). I hope you like WM6.5.3 builds, because I'm not moving out of that! :D

(build 21680, only some core apps pre-installed and drivers and audio/video codecs.)

I will hopefully unlock the gestures and media control on lockscreen, as has LG Fathom. It is there, I edited registry as needed but still doesn't work, gotta keep searching...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe USer:
That sounds GREAT! I never got around to cooking up a Foundation 6.5.3 and I never seem to have the time lately.

Will you be leaving the Windows Media DRM packages in? I know a lot of cooks take it out, but removing it breaks Amazon unbox.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
I have to smile...

Every time I read the title of this thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] researchermd:
Thank you in advance

Yes, I for one would like to try your ROM, although I may not be able to get to it till next week.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbronson41:
Yeah, first thing I thought too...:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ltilt2:
Can't wait to try out your rom.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
NRGZ28 has made a very lite ROM used mainly for booting into Android. You might like it. It boots very quickly and has VERY little on it. If you go to the Energy ROM thread, it is listed in the download link to MaxSense, Sense 2.1, and Titanium. He doesn't have it listed on the thread, but it is in the same repository as the aforementioned ROMs on Hotfile.

The file name is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA LITE ROM)_28.Jan.2010.rar. Happy flashing. :)

I thought this was a joke until I read a bit.

+1 to the title. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] OndraSter:
My ROM is combining graphics from the latest TF3D-based ROM, with CHome (default plugins, no specialities), including the basiest software (Office, Adobe reader, drivers, Album, internet sharing, calculator, audiobooster, fm radio, myphone, BING and some small core applications needed for these), where you have about 340MB ROM after first boot free! (I'm not saying RAM, because I'm still playing with it a bit).

Anyway, today I made one huge step forward, I finally enabled the lockscreen WMP controls, like on the 1:32 here on LG Fathom video review.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ltilt2:
How is your project going?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] OndraSter:
Need to tweak memory and video playback a bit... I didn't have time today and I probably won't have tomorrow... Really don't know! But on weekend I will have :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ltilt2:
Sounds good, keep up the good work. Pls dont include htc message client and if you put in auto net confi, I'm sure its going to be a great Rom.

Thank you so much for your hard work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] djdant:
Occasionally I get no data connection & I have to restart the phone, does any body else have that issue?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mark925:
Haven't had that issue myself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imblacklife:
try putting it in airplane mode then turn airplane mode off
[G2 and Desire Z General] djdant:
That works I wonder if its an issue, if anyone else has the prob let me know
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gerson2407:
I have that issue as well, idk why it happens but I'll add it to the list of problems for when I call to get a replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
That just happened to me today also. It switched from "H" to "E", then when I opened USA Today it FC-ed and the icon turned into a generic Android one like the app was on the SD card and unavailable (even though it's installed to phone) and then 5 more background apps that I didn't even know were running FC-ed (Amazon MP3, Finance, QuickOffice, something and then Facebook three times?) and the phone locked up. I was able to power off then back on, but data never came back even after waiting about 10 minutes until I powered off and on again. Quite odd.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aedillor:
I get the same issue where am connected to wifi and as soon as i walk away from it it doesnt connect back to the data network. I got a replacement phone coming so hopefully i dont have the same issue. Another thing is the random reboot and i get black screen a lot especially after rebooting
[G2 and Desire Z General] ellessidil:
I've had the issue, but each time it appears to be related to JuiceDefender not properly enabling the radio. If I shut JuiceDefender off, the connection comes back, although sometimes its just easier to airplane mode it and be done with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] djdant:
I called T-Mo about it, they said call about a week after the inital release date and see if they have a fix by then, there isnt enough information kept since it hasnt been officially released yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I'm having the same trouble. Are you guys on the new sim card? I popped in the new sim card and the tech told me to not use it and just save it. I noticed when I put the new sim card a notification of a new voicemail came on. I didn't have any voicemail.

Edit: I'm starting to have some serious data issues. I'll get cut off, but my phone will still show full bars and "H". I try the whole airplane thing and it still does nothing. I constantly get the "check network setting, try again or cancel". My market wont load, browser says "unable to connect." This is getting stupid. When I call T Mobile it always start working and then cuts off shorty after hanging up. I've never had this isssue before. I live in the middle of the city. Only 3G around here. Its getting annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Guys I'm afraid that it might problem with the antenna placement. Holding the phone on the bottom half will drop me from 3 bars of "H" to 4 bars of "G", then it will bounce back up to 4 bars of "E". If left on a desk then it will remain at 3-4 bars of "H". I notice this especially at a place where I have low-mid signal, such as my school (reinforced concrete FTL). When I have a strong 4 bar signal, it usually won't drop all the way down to edge but I do loose a few bars. I hope a simple software issue is enough to reduce this effect. I might be being crazy paranoid but I'm definitely noticing a lower signal than on my G1.

Try holding the phone by the edges, then hold it in a normal grip and see if the signal strenght changes (Menu->settings->status->signal strength)
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I just got off the phone with tmo and was told its a known issue with the network affecting about 10% of users. The issue started for me yesterday on my hd2. He also said they have people working on it. I asked if I could get my buyers remorse set back 14 more days to ensure the issue is not permanment but he said that they are no longer doing extentions. I'm sure if I get tranfered to retentions the answer would change. I hope.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gmandavid:
I'm also having the same issue. I just rebooted my phone, so I haven't had the chance of switching airplane mode on/off yet. I'll let you guys know if that works for me, either way, I'm hoping there's a fix from T-Mo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeatron:
youre not paranoid, im noticing this too
[G2 and Desire Z General] Phateless:
Wow that's funny, my MYTOUCH does the same thing with airplane mode off/on. I also remember that the store demo g2 I played with last night had the voicemail icon in the notification bar, but when you pull the bar down, there's no option to connect and retrieve the voicemail. I found that even weirder since the phone comes preloaded with google voice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] IConrad01:
Also experiencing the same issue here in Phoenix. Been having it since I got the phone on Monday.

I have been in an ongoing round of tech calls and will be having a follow-up with the tech who I spoke with last night... I've tried everything from APN resetting to swapping the SIM card to a total factory wipe -- nothing is changing this for me.

I *know* my neighborhood has full 3G access, but I am maxed out at 1 Mbps. (Before the factory wipe I was getting 0.35 Mbps.) If this doesn't change I may just return the phone and switch to Sprint to get the Epic 4G. I mean, I'm not getting HSPA+ coverage either way, and at least with the Samsung Galaxy S Pro I'd have a full 5-row qwerty...

>_<
[G2 and Desire Z General] Phateless:
Wow, this is really too bad. I was SO excited about this phone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgood63:
called as well tech told me to turn off phone and she would refresh my signal and when it was turned back on i had all 4 bars and data returned and and its been on ever since without any drops in data....hope it stays that way .

ps...both G2`s had that problem and both cleared up as of now
[G2 and Desire Z General] VValdo:
If this happens, try going to settings->wireless->mobile network->network operators and see if you get an "Error while searching for networks" error as I did.

Reset fixed for me too. But it makes me worry.
[G2 and Desire Z General] phazedplasma:
I'm on a brand new sim card (switched to TM from ATT). I'm having some data issues too. I talked to TM tech support and they reset my connection but that did nothing. Now they're going to their android techs to see whats up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
Had this happen to me yesterday for the first time:mad:.

Fixed with a soft reset but that has to change.
[Touch CDMA General] turcott:
hey been using nsfans 6.5 rom for a long time now, wouldn't mind trying a new rom.

looking for quick and stable, which rom is better nuvogues 7.0 or baroggi44's new build...anyone tried both yet?
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
Fair question!

I always encourage people to try both! Barogi44 was pretty much inspiration to try my hand at my own!

And to be totally honest, NuVogue 7.0 is a little bit of a dive in a different direction from the previous 6. It has some features, such as a unique UI, that might not even continue in 8.0 and beyond (I wanted to tinker with it, but it can sometimes slow down the system a little more than I like).

Two things about my build: first and foremost: I put stability above all else when I cook my ROMs - if a program will make it unstable, I won't include it - you can install it yourself, later if you really want it - but if I think it will compromise stability, I'm leaving it out. Second: I always hear that mine boots extremely quickly - but I don't think "boot time" should be a determining factor in which ROM you use! ;) It's always about what you're looking for in your build - which programs are pre installed, how stable the ROM is, etc...

If you have the bandwidth and a little bit of time, I say: give'em both a try! :) Barogi44 certainly has more users than I do (based on thread length and feedback alone!), so to be honest - that may just be a tell tale sign in itself!

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA General] turcott:
I'm currently using your latest rom now NuAngel. It is fast and stable, which important to me.

I flashed to barogi44's latest build durng my post, it boots slower than yours...his home screen is like the htc-default except abit flashier. but i like your drop/up down list layout as well.

where' gps in your rom?

also if v7 wasn't so large, there's a lot of things i wouldn't put in there...maybe i can try cooking my own rom, what apps do i need to try...anyways NuAngel, the rom is work great so far, i like the photo 'scratch' effect for pictures, kind of neat....sometimes its just little things that make me like a rom more than another, good job!
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
Thanks for the comments. Yeah, NuVogue has gotten VERY big lately, but that's the addition of the care-pack: if you look under File Manger and the root of the phone, you can see there is a folder called "NuVogue Care Pack" - that folder is just a bunch of Installers that you can use to install many popular programs (including a better version of the EZ Input Keyboard, Swype, if you want it, Google Maps, and more!) - without the need to take the time downloading all of the giant CABs. If you don't want any of those programs, just delete the NuVogue Care Pack folder - it will warn you that these are system files, but you can just go ahead and delete them, it won't cause any problems.

As far as where's the GPS? That I don't know - not sure what "GPS" app you're looking for. GPS works perfectly in other programs such as Sprint Navigator, Google Maps, Trapster, etc... but if you're looking for a particular program, I'm unsure what you're used to using.

Also - if you'd like to switch the interface to the Manila style with the large clock, you can simply click START > SETTINGS > HOME SCREEN > slide right to ITEMS > and check the box that says TouchFLO. I like Titanium, though - I find it much faster.

Any further questions, just put them in the official NuVogue thread.

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
baroggi44's ROM is a newer build of WM6.5 where as nuvogue7.0 is an older version. Don't let the numbers mess with. Just becasue nuvogue7.0 is 28014 doesn't mean that its newer version of WM6.5. I can't find the tree that shows all of the different builds.
[Touch CDMA General] bigboy292000:
Here is how I see it after trying pretty much everything out there (including Android) on my Vogue:

For the best (IMO) newer 6.5 ROM that includes newer TouchFLO - I'd choose brack21's ROM over on PPCGeeks. It is a ROM that I never had to reboot, found it very stable and fast.

For the Titanium only ROM that fast lean and mean, I'd pick nuvogue 6.0. I did not install 7.0 but am now running 6.0 with few Titanium customizations: installed Home Screen Customizer from Marketplace, which gave me Contacts and App launcher in Titanium. I also installed Titanium Notifications add-in which gives me notifications in Titanium too. (The only problem with that is that notifications do not display correctly as there is some overlapping font issue if you had a missed call). Perhaps 7.0 is best for that...
[Touch CDMA General] turcott:
i'm using nuvogues 7.0, so far so good...i'll try the one you suggested, thanks for the input.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to General. Next time, please use either the Q&A thread or post under General if you have questions like these.
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
Very true, but in my experience and the experience of the people that use my ROM, newer doesn't always mean better. If you ask "the average user" to tell you the difference between ANY of the builds, they have no answers.

28014 mostly expanded on a few Internet Explorer features - but I also find it far better at memory management & stability. I reboot my phone once every 5 days or so. When I used 23569 or other 23xxx series builds I was 2 days at best, and I hear the same from several of my users and friends. Don't get me wrong, there are other builds in the 28xxx series that are just as horrible.

I'm not trying to put down Barogi44's ROM by any means, but I just think "newer" isn't necessarily "better."

NuAngel
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
You are right newer doesn't necessarily mean better especially when it comes to MS. I just thought that I would point out 28014 is an older build. I really haven't really noticed much difference between the different builds. Somewhere the start icon was moved to the bottom. However,I am currently not running either.

I'm using my apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse on my evo but have a question. Why does CM6 make the notification bar disapear after connected the devices. After disconnect my notification bar is still hidden and requires a reboot to get it back? Is there something that I am just missing?

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tool1075:
I unlocked my Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I am using an AT&T SIM card here in the United States successfully.

The first few times I used GSM mode, a menu would pop up and ask me which network settings I wanted to use (AT&T or T-Mobile).

Now, that menu is no longer popping up. So, I am unable to select the settings for AT&T. Data is now not working on GSM (the phone tries to dial #777 as if it is connected to Sprint).

How can I get that dialog box to pop back up and prompt me to pick the carrier settings? I'm assuming that is what will fix it.

Thanks for the help.
