Hi all. I made my own bootanimation but it doesn't work.

I have .png files in both part0 and part1 folders.

I did zip them with desc.txt file like bootanimation.zip

desc.txt lines:

512 256 24

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

I placed it in /data/local like other ones i tried but it doesn't work. I just got black screen at boot.

Also i tried to push it with adb to /system/media and it didn't work.

I have tried other ones and they work.

Anyone?

Thanks
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
These are some of the most missed things when making them

1. bootanimation.zip can not have any compression the compressionlevel should be set to store when you make make it. This will cause you to get a black screen.

2. the first line in your desc.txt defines your animations width and height and the frame per second... you should match your phones resolution other wise youll get bad sizing and or stetching

3. Make sure that the files in your part's folders are sequential ie. file_0001.png, file_0002.png

if I was to guess you probably have your bootanimation.zip compressed.
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2962235:
Thanks for quick reply.

I used total commander to pack the files.

Can't see any option for packing just to store the files or something like that.

Which program can i use that will just store them?

thanks
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2962235:
ok, i found the options in commander how to pack without compresion. Going to try it now. thanks
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2962235:
yeey, it worked! thank you :)
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
glad I could help, this same issue stumped me for a whole day before I went back to by compare everything tactic and noticed it.
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2962235:
I made another boot animation..and now I have different problem :)

The animations runs well, until the half of images of second part (part1) then it just stays there!

I waited for about 5 mins, then I reboot the device. Tried it again cupple of times, but it ends up same. What to do? Flash? :)
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
post the bootanimation.zip but more than likely your phone is locking up. not sure why but the zip would help.
[Android Themes] Deleted member 2962235:
Hey.

I think the problem was some stupid app I installed to root my device (tablet btw).

I realize it now because I had problems with ADW after installing the app (it was crashing a lot). I use the UniversalAndroot app but i wanted to try the other one someone told me it was good..but its not :) So I flashed it again and tried the boot animation and it is working well :)

anyway, here is my first bootanimation if you want to check it out:

Thanks for help anyways.

I thought I'd start a thread to see what people's favorite features of the Captivate are. Not looking for things like "it's not an iPhone" but more of something like...

My favorite feature is the Panorama setting in the camera. I think it's awesome how you can sweep right to left, left to right, up and down, down and up and it will stitch together a panoramic photo instantly, just like that. I think that's by far my favorite feature.

Others? What do you love about the Captivate?
[Captivate General] Connor1:
It's not an iphone
[Captivate General] devonr:
lol... I should have expected that.
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
Ok, so I'm totally sold on WinMo 6.5 and this is my first Android device. My gaming rig at home is 2k8R2, but virtually every other system I own runs Linux (8 at home counting VMs). I absolutely love Linux, but letting go of WinMo has been difficult - especially with the great people in those part of the forum. But more and more are moving to Android. So that's where I'm coming from on this.

0) Speed. It's wayyy faster than my 528 Mhz Touch Pro.

1) The screen. It's about 90% the size of the iPhone itself. Resolution is ok, but could be better.

2) Android. The ability to modify anything that I choose to is awesome.

3) It's not an iPhone. I FREAKING *HATE* Apple with a passion.

4) Proximity and light sensor. I expect this feature, but I also really like it.

5) 16 GB of internal memory. That's sweet, until you brick your phone and then Samsung has all of your personal data from TiBu and SMS backups. Dammit.

Things I hate:

0) It appears the GPS issues are mainly antenna-related. There have been hundreds of smartphones with GPS. How hard is it to learn from others' mistakes? This is what you do.

1) Froyo is taking way too long. It's been out for 5 months. Why do we not ALREADY have it?? (Officially...)

2) Devices are shipping with the 3-button combo broken. QA really dropped the ball on that. FAIL.

3) No flash on the back for the camera. Come on, it's one LED.

4) USB is on the top. This is totally personal, but on every other device I've had (mostly HTC), the connector is on the bottom. This is just weird.

5) This is way out of the ballpark, and a complaint about Android itself. The only thing that I dislike almost as much as Apple is Java. Yeah, we can discuss this all day, but I'll still hate Java. I'm uneasy with everything (dex files/executables) being Java based. I understand why they did it that way, and I'm glad they did something besides straight-up Java (that would make the phone unusable), but I'd prefer actual Linux binaries to run on these devices. I'm not sure why they did not do that, so if someone wants to continue this discussion, PM me and maybe we'll open another thread. I'd really like to understand more about this.

All-in-all, I really like this phone.

I love how the battery runs out of juice after about 10-12 hours and doesnt even make it through one business day. I love that!!
[Captivate General] Jack45:
GPS. Because it gives so many people a reason to be unhappy. And, as I've said before, some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy. So now they're happy. And that's good.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
The screen and Android.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
Everything I hated about iPhone has been tended to and all of what i loved about the iPhone is intact.

Don't have to conserve power any more or carry a charger or buy a "juice case" ......Battery is replaceable on the fly.

Removable storage. No need for Syncing SW

Samsungs battery charger/phone stand is a great accessory to have....http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Batte...UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1287164024&sr=8-3-catcorr
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
These are all going to be comparisons to the iPhone so deal with it.. it's what I came from. It's not an "I hate iPhone" just a comparison because I loved the device when I had it.

I love the customizations that can be done with the phone. From custom ROMS, to tweaking the Icons, and I can do with it what I want to. With an iPhone I was VERY limited by what i can do.

Notification bar - I hated the bubble popup while i was in the middle of doing something else with the phone.

Speed - the phone is 100000000 times faster than my old iPhone 3G.

The ability to backup what I want to - contacts, data, applications - I can back it up. I was at the whim of Apple and its proprietary iTunes before.

The screen is gorgeous - Every thing pops and I think it's on par with the "uber iPhone 4 retina screen". It might not be as crisp or sharp as it.. but it is nice nonetheless.

The Ugly:

I hate the fact that it can be easily killed - but not necessarily bricked. One wrong move and *poof* have to restore the device and start all over again.

The battery life due to the screen being a HUGE battery hog. I am able to get 12-16hrs out of one charge. But I feel as if I have to restrain my phone usage to prolong battery life from the device.

GPS is still flaky at best. Although Samsung states this is a "software" issue - too man Captivate owners have had too many issues with it. Thankfully I don't use it all that often being a casual phone dood (i.e. I don't travel alot, and mainly use it for txt, calls, email, xda, etc...)

Samsung/ATT support by not having the phone truly ready for the public. They have finally released their official 2.2 Froyo to Europe - which means we might see it by December.

Having to had to install a tweaked custom ROM on a device that should have been working from the start.

Java - I personally cannot stand Java. I think it is slow, bloated, bulky, easily exploited, and is not a great programming language. I liken it to Visual Basic in the Linux world. But then again.. the phone could have been programmed in all C, Perl, or C++ only. *eek*. Sure it would have been screaming fast, but who would be programming for it?

Overall I have a feature rich, fast phone that is about 90% functional. As a consumer it is disappointing that my first foray into the Android world had to be so difficult. But thanks to XDA and the people taking the time to make this device work - its been completely worth it.!
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I've used everything so far as mobile OSes go. WinMo 6.5, iOS, and now Android. I have to say, Android is by far the best I've used to date.

The things I love about this phone:

The screen is absolutely amazing. I go back and forth between my phone and my iTouch for apps and there's just no comparison. The SAMOLED screen blows Apple's technology out of the water for clarity and color.

We actually have real multi-tasking, not that lame app-switching-loading-an-app-from-memory that Apple calls multi-tasking in iOS4.

It's speed. I never thought I'd get a smartphone with a 1Ghz CPU in it, let alone a standalone GPU capable of 70+ fps in OpenGL. That's just insane. I can still remember using my Blackjack1 with its 200Mhz OMap CPU that we could overclock to a blistering 312Mhz!

The notification bar and the toast notifications. It's nice to be able to continue using an app without getting a popup notification that deletes everything you were working on or pushes your app to the background.

The seemingly limit possibilities of Android. It seems like you can edit just about anything on this phone. While theming the phone could probably be easier, (I wish there was something more like Winterboard for Android) the ability has always been there and there wasn't a need for something like a jailbreak to get there.

And I'm just going to group these last ones into on big category. The camera, the accelerometer, the 16GB of built in storage, the style (especially the nice carbon fiber patterned battery door), and it's lightweight and comfortable design.
[Captivate General] wildting:
I like USB on top. I can charge my phone right side up in my cup holder.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Ahh, that's the one thing I don't like. I drive an '08 Ford Focus with a manual trans. The cup holders are literally right behind the gear lever and when I put the phone in the cup holder, I'm constantly hitting it the cable whenever I go to shift. I really need to make some sort of dock for the car...

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] Ptaaty:
I love the design and feel. Metal back, corners that make it look different than an iPhone, and the perfect size. 4" is the perfect screen size, perfect.

I was contract free and could get any phone on any carrier and I thought the look, feel, size, etc of the Captivate was the best. 3.5" really too small. 3.7" close...but still not really as nice as 4" for web and games. 4.3" I was holding a damn frozen waffle to my ear...just too big.

The only real negative I have after the Cog 2.2 update (no more lag, faster, better gps, etc) is the battery sucking power of the screen. It is quite manageable with things like dark backgrounds and reduced brightness. However, there is a definite tradeoff on the screen. Personally I like the contrast ratio, colors, etc, better than the iphone4 screen's slightly higher rez. However on bright apps, the battery does take a hit. Battery in all other areas (3G talk, etc) as good as the best out there.
[Captivate General] mac208x:
The thing I like the most is the look of the phone, its not squarr, it has really nice curves to it. To me it seems the cappy is the best looking phone around, all my friends are jelous that I got this phone even my friend,that has the iphone 4 lol! Second things is the screen its very clear in,sunlight. When I had the iphone I couldnt see a thing with this phone I can still see everything even in direct sun light. The snappiness of the phone is awesomee to, unlike some other phones like desire it doesnt lag at all!
[Captivate General] Roxy:
I like the battery cover, and the phone's design in general :3
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
WoW..what is my favorite thing...more than just 1 thing for me too...Everything so far. The looks..the feel..the size of the screen..The clarity and detail I get when watching a HD movie on it that I loaded.Just being able to watch a HD movie I loaded on it. The ease of typing a message or making a phone call. The responsiveness of the screen. BTW..I have no lag and am running it stock with the Jf6 rom (is that right ?) Having a great camera helps too...All in all I am well pleased with mine and have but 2 complaints... the gps issue..and the weak usb socket...I prefer the GPS to work properly of course,and the usb socket is what it is and I'll just have to be careful on inserting the plug..but neither were my primary reason for buying this phone..I bought it for all the other reasons I already listed. My wife loves her too..I have to say I've changed my mind about the new Iphone 4's though..they are pretty nice too since bought my sons got them when my wife and myself got our Captivates a couple days ago..They are good solid phones from what I can see..some what limited to what is on them..but otherwise good solid phones..Even my boys watched in awe when I fired up the Transformer movie to show them this morning on mine..but not enough so to exchange them for what we have...They are firmly entrenched in the apple orchard..and have been since the i-pods came out..

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espy1988:
So I was hoping some of you guys could help me out.

Recently my Vibrant started to give me trouble with my computer. But it's only my vibrant with my computer. I can connect to any other computer no problem. Any other device is easily recognized by my computer except the vibrant.

It started after using PDANET's tethering app. I was at one point tethering all the time putting my phone in usb debugging mode and running pdanet on my computer. Then I also started using the bluetooth tethering. Once I finally got internet at my new place i stopped using the tethering option. But then I realized when i tried to get files off my phone my computer wouldnt recognized my phone anymore.

The error I get is

USB Device Not Recognized.

One of the usb devices on this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognized it.

Usb Root Hub Unknown device.

Try Reconnecting the device if windows still does not recognized it replace the device.

In the device manager the properties of the "unknown device" says

Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

I've tried the solution posted under here

USB Fix - Win7 x64 - USB Device not Recognized

and I've used both drivers from Samsung Kies and here

[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S

(Sorry can't post links apparently)

When I try to update the driver manually for the unknown device it says that it has already selected the best driver for the device. So i don't know if it really updated it.

Any Suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:

I have a bricked galaxy s which doesn't do anything. Windows 7 reconizes an unknown device and it's not possible to install the samsung driver. Windows says that it allready has the right driver.

I can't seems to reincarnate my galaxy s. Only this small sign of live in windows 7.

It happened when I was flashing 2.3.5 and the connection went down just seconds after the start of flashing so I guess the bootloaders are corrupt.

Anyone any idea how to solve this one?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
I have the same problem now. I have had my Vibrant for over a year never with an issue. I have Odined it back to JFD dozens of times but now it will not recognize the usb device.

I have GB bootloaders, but never a problem before. When changing Roms I usually Odin back to JFD first and start clean.

My problem started with the phone getting stuck in landscape mode. I was running a 2.3.4 GB rom Sensation. I reflashed a few times but whenever a restored anything from Titanium it would revert back to landscape only. I decided to go back to a 2.2 rom and plugged in the phone to Odin and it was not recognized, also not as a mass storage device, no go. I used Samba to copy a 2.2 rom, Trigger, to the phone and flashed from there. The phone is good now except the computer still won't recognize it. I can use Samba to access the SDCard but I hate not being able to use Odin if things go south. Tried all usb ports and a new cable, no go. Really wierd.

Looking for suggestions......

Have you tried installing the installing/re-installing the Samsung drivers (LINK), using another USB cable, or even another computer? I just want to make sure you've tried it all before attempting to do a hardware mod.

I rooted my phone galaxy s and installed a lag fix using a youtube video for help a couple of weeks ago. Now froyo is upon us i would like to unroot my phone and remove this lag fix. I though if i went on the mcr scripts app and removed the fix then the lag fix would be gone and then i could just wipe my phone back to factory settings. after doing this and wipeing my phone however. i still have both the superuser permissions and mcr scripts apps on my phone. surely this means i havent unrooted my phone? I am a total noob and so dont have a clue what to do next. Any help would be greatfully apprecciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnie86:
Hey Mad2Ad,

I went to the voodoo irc channel to ask for help. I was told to not worry. Just make sure your lagfix is disabled. When the new firmware comes, it will copy a new firmware/kernal to your phone and erase everything (root, lagfix, etc). So don't worry. But key action > DISABLE LAGFIX before you do anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad2Ad:
Thanks for the advice jonnie,

How can i be sure ive uninstalled the lagfix though? MCR scripts is still present in applications. When i run the quadrant standard app though my score is 871 whilst it was of course over 2000 after rooting so surely this would mean ive unrooted my phone. I was just under the impression that once ive done that the superuser permissions would dissapper.

Heres the info my phone gives me if it helps.

csc: xajf3
