I am so disappointed that they had to use the same styling and specs as the galaxy s line.. No HSPA+, no hard keyboard, no optical trackpad, no real hd video recording ( 720x480 video recording instead of 1280x720 out of the box) , and horrible design. I'd rather get the mytouch 4g and find a 2.3 rom if I really wanted something like the Nexus S.

Sorry to rant, I'm just so disappointed Google had to make the Nexus S their flagship device. Then again, the contour screen might be interesting. I'd have to see it in real life to judge. At least Samsung finally took out the horrible touchwiz interface, right?

Here is a new bootanimation! HTC - Quietly Rooted (credits to ogo2 for the idea)

STOCK_DL - Quietly Rooted, CM6_DL - Quietly Rooted

STOCK_DL installs in SYSTEM:customize/resource DIR...

CM6_DL installs in SYSTEM:media DIR...

Files are signed zips - so install like a ROM.

Our friend JonasDroid has prepared us a blend between Quietly rooted and loopy part of the other animation + some modification.

Screenshots here, Download bootanimation.zip HERE - NOT flashable!

These are some other Boot Animations I created, Enjoy :D

Any Ideas to make bootanimations are wellcomed !!!

STOCK_DL - Snake, CM6_DL - Snake

STOCK_DL - AmiBIOS, CM6_DL - AmiBIOS

This one has the BIOS part as the before, but the looping part is Knight Rider-like ;)

STOCK_DL - AmiBIOS + Knight Rider, CM6_DL - AmiBIOS + Knight Rider

This one I made from the Fringe theme...

STOCK_DL - Fringe, CM6_DL - Fringe

Knight Rider one:

Invalid or Deleted File.

Would u mind to upload it again?
[Legend Themes and Apps] rajasyaitan:
Nice job friend. Thanks for this.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Fixed, sorry for that :)

Thanks! finally some positive feedback :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] mrkekson:
Cheers, inndeed nice. Will install the Knight rider on when ill get home.

Im thinking about a boot anim what is kinda "creepy":

A Droid, and it should flicker, and jump lika a bad tv, or like at the Ring :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Try the snake one, it's real nice :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] qzem:
great job dude :) ! Thansk a lot!
[Legend Themes and Apps] dirkkuyken:
does it work on froyo sense vodafone ?

I tried it, it installed but it still shows the vodafone animation ?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
It does, you just need to set-up you xml settings in /system/customize/CID/***.xml (depending on what CID you use)

it is a line at the end of the file and you need to have there this:

<BootAnimation
animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" />
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
New Fringe Animation!

Any suggestios are wellcomed!
[Legend Themes and Apps] Lostpassword:
i've a question, i'm using vodafone froyo rom with blayo's custom kernel and aufs enabled.

When i try to install this bootscreen i send "adb remount" and when i modify that file (default.xml) i see that simply i didn't been modified O_o

i explain: in my default.xml i got

<BootAnimation image="/system/customize/resource/splash1_HTC_Branding_320x480.gif" image2="/system/customize/resource/HTC_Legend_VF_Start_ani.gif" useAudio="0" />

i modify that via "vi" into adb shell with:

<BootAnimation image="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" useAudio="0" />

i save and close the file, and when i reopen it i'm still seeing the old string.

Any suggestion?
[Legend Themes and Apps] kuklux:
Bootanimation animation= not image
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Exactly, you need to have there this:

<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" />

And have you tried to pull the file out, edit it and push it back? I think that will work...

you can also make a signed zip file out of it, that will definitely work...
[Legend Themes and Apps] Lostpassword:
Many thx doc, it work'd :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] qzem:
How can I build your bootanimation into rom zip file. It is not practical to flash it always when updating CM rom.
[Legend Themes and Apps] _pocketcup:
Very cool. Thanks for your hard work :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Just unzip the file, extract the bootanimation.zip from system/media, put it in your ROM to the same location...

great!

I'm glad you like it!
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
Can you make an animation like the original one, but with "quietly rooted" caption? :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
:D I will see what I can do...
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
Thanks. ;)

It will be better if the green HTC logo is on solid black background and white caption "quietly rooted" with the same handwriting font.

I hope that this is not too much for you... :cool:
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
just bumping up - new animation!
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
Thank you for the "Quietly rooted" boot animation! :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I just saw the botanimation on my Eizo screen, it was not very clear, I updated the file on mediafire, so If you have it installed, re-install :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Splash1 image

I have made a splash1 image to make the quietly rooted animation "flow" better. S-OFF users only

To install:

Download the zip file

Extract it to a known location

View the image file in the zip, that way you know what you're flashing :D

Copy the splash1.img file to your AndroidSDK/tools directory (make sure fastboot is present)

Reboot your phone to fastboot mode (in CM reboot to bootloader, you're there. Else power off, then power on with the back button held)

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Reboot and enjoy ;)

EDIT:

Why does this boot animation just disappear when the animation is complete? The text writes itself out, then the screen goes black...

EDIT 2:

A video so you see the whole boot process with this splash1 installed. Extra points if you name the piece of music in the background ;) (It's very faint) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQZaL8KqiKM
[Legend Themes and Apps] nafnist:
the new HTC - Quietly Rooted bootanimation is awesome m8

good job :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Thanks man! Make sure you downloaded today! I made some enhancements ;)

mspaint rulez :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Splash1 image - snake

S-OFF users only.

This is a splash1 image for the "snake" boot animation. It's just the first frame (as before)

--

I hope you don't mind me doing this Dr. Romca. If you do, I'll stick 'em somewhere else ;)

--

To install:

Download the zip file

Extract it to a known location

View the image file in the zip, that way you know what you're flashing :D

Copy the SnakeSplash.img file to your AndroidSDK/tools directory (make sure fastboot is present)

Reboot your phone to fastboot mode (in CM reboot to bootloader, you're there. Else power off, then power on with the back button held)

fastboot flash splash1 SnakeSplash.img

Reboot and enjoy ;)
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
Happy new year m8s! Wish you a stock honeycomb this year!

Here is a little gift from me... :D

2 nice boot logos for all with Alpharev bootloader, a.k.a S-OFF

Use this command:
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Guys! I don't mind any hard work you do, I appreciate it!

In fact I downloaded the first splash and I'm about to install it ;) <-- done, it looks so cool now! :D

Thank you both ;-)
[Legend Themes and Apps] PandaVoyageur:
Thanks for the AmiBIOS + Knight Rider one, been using it since I rooted my Legend, I did not know there was a thread here too :) (google pointed me to your modaco forum post when I was looking for a bootanim)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I'm glad I can give something back to the comunity ;)

And btw: MoDaCo is so dead these days :( In Legend section anyway...
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
Is there something special about the png's?

I've tried to make my own variant of your quietly rooted version

but it goes blank right where I added some png's

I added them using 7zip (I used it before to change some pngs of apks)

I continued the numbering as it should and use Adobe photoshop CS4 to edit them

Any idea what could have gone wrong?

Can I just try to make a new zip?

EDIT: solved it (the pngs should not be compressed while zipping)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Right! Good, also jpg's work too - it comes handyd if you're making a photo like animation ;-) jpegs are much smaller while compressing photos...

Would you share your bootanimation with us? :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
Yeah I will but the codes

For freesing
p 1 10 foldername
and looping
p 1 0 foldername

Don't seem to work in CM7 (although the official CM bootanimation uses it without problems ???)

I'll need to figure that out. Once it's fully tested I'll post it.
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
OK i finally managed to get the looping like it should

Looks like you need 2 extra maps in order to get it to loop (even if you don't use the 1 extra map)

I've attached bootanimation.zip (THIS IS NOT FOR FLASHING!!)

Rename it to bootanimation.zip before you push it.

You should push it to the right directory depending on the ROM u use (e.g. /system/media for CM)

Here are some screenshots:

Since I'm not that good in the grafical stuff I used the things I've found on the first page and combined them to something I like :D

I use one with my name written too that looks even nicer but don't think you guys would like my name on your phone :p

You can add it to the first post if you want. But please mention my name (It took me quite some time to create two versions of it (one for me and one for this forum)) but I'm glad I can do something for this forum I hope some of you will enjoy this :D (otherwise I've wasted my time xD)

EDIT: forgot to mention if it loops too fast for you, you can change the value of the fps in the desc.txt I just like speed :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Well, I did a version with my name on it too, but you'll find out for an unknown reason people just can't appreciate it :confused: ... :D

OK, it's a nice blend, just an advice before I post it in the first one:

Your desc.txt should look more like:

320 480 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

By experimentation, I have found out that the phone can't handle 24 fps while booting (I think it's too busy booting :D)

No need to have those extra folders, just put the non-looping part in the part0 and the looping to part1. Also by experimentation I have fond out that when loop is short, it is better to make two or three loops, the phone flashes a white frame once in a loop otherwise. (just copy the png's and rename them by totalcmd)

Cheers!
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
K I've removed the android folder and placed it in the part1 folder.

But although it can't handle the full 24fps at first (it can starting from the second loop) it is still faster if you put it on 24fps then when u use 15fps.

So personally I like 24 more then the 15 (15 looks a bit laggy imo)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
OK, first post edited - I've added your version ;)
[Legend Themes and Apps] benisman89:
Thanks for great boot animation :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] rtuner:
"quietly rooted" is AWESOME!

thanks for that - just flashed and works like a charm!
[Legend Themes and Apps] joq3:
Is this CM6 only, will it work to flash on CM7 Gingerbread? (if so, should I use the CM6 version)

Thanks :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Hi, let me quote myself:
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
I guess by one guy you mean TheGrammarFreak, who has S-OFFed phone, if you have S-OFF by alpharev as well, you can change it too, otherwise you can't.

(you can find the splashscreen here in Legend Themes and Apps...)
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
I'm one guy now, eh?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Would you rather be two guys? :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] joq3:
And one cup ? :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Lol. In a way I am 2 guys. I am TheGrammarFreak here, and someone else in the "real" world
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Yeah, and I bet you can't spell in the real world :D... just kidding :p
[Legend Themes and Apps] BlaY0:
Hey m8,

I managed to optimize your quietly rooted boot animation to 55 kB.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Nice! I know how as well now :D But I'm feeling lazy to re-pack all the anims :p

besides, the rooted one is only 333kb, so I'm not worried anyone would not install it because of lack of space in /system :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] ogo2:
It will be great to have this optimized pack. :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] playahate:
reeeeal nice =) quietly rooted... but the first loop is slow, and all the rest is going crazy speed :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Whaat? There's only one part and that's played just once...can you upload a video?
[Legend Themes and Apps] janarp:
Can u make bootanimation like: Powered by XDA-developers.com ... something like that ... we all r powered by xda... LOL
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Sure I can, the real question is: do I want to? And what to dou have in mind exactly? Can you upload a sketch or something?
[Legend Themes and Apps] janarp:
Sry i dont have any scetch... It was just idea... Sure i can make this if you want im not pushing you... :) and i mean something like xda logo and so on... I must think about it more... :) anyway its your joice to do this or not... :) peace
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Let me know what you have in mind whn you figure it out and we'll see ;) I might like that idea as well ;)
[Legend Themes and Apps] janarp:
Thanks and i will let u know when i figured out something...
[Legend Themes and Apps] r69001:
hTc quietly rooted...

im going to install it pretty cool

thank u
[Legend Themes and Apps] fede91it:
Ahahah: "Quietly Rooted"

You are a BOSS! XD

Thank you a lot!
[Legend Themes and Apps] robertsaedal:
love the black one.. different but cool
[Legend Themes and Apps] Dr.Romca:
Thanks guys, nice to hear I'm a boss :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] lexen_:
By the way, nice idea!!

But is it available with white background ?
[Legend Themes and Apps] vintermut:
When I try to install this boot animation I get Installation Aborted message...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chabun:
Hey

Is there any app out there wich could sync all PIM-Data like SMS,Contacts etc. to Android? I'd love an app that does this since I've got Android on my HD2?

If there isn't any software, I'll try to develop some on my own, but first I need to know a few things:

- how do get the messages (Mail and SMS) in WinMo (.net cf)

- and how to restore them??

- how to register an app to run before shutdown and as startup on android?

Thanks

Chabun
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anistoona:
Did you try to use MyPhoneExplorer for syncing Outlook contacts to your Android ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aegidios2:
Hi,

I've search alot around to do that, tryed ogg synch and other stuff,

but now I've found that this way to synch android and winmo is the best (for me):

don't use outlook anymore on my pc instead I've created a gmail accound and use calendar , contact... exactly like on outlook but online.

On htc winmo I've made an activesync account with google server (m.google.com) and synch everything exept tasks.

And on htc Andro synch with google account.

Everyhing works ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Spl4tt:
exactly how im doing it. active sync ftw xD..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chabun:
Since I have no dataplan that's not a good idea for me. So I'm looking for an app doing this local on the phone...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
How can you possibly hope to use Android fully without a data plan :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xdabart:
Google Sync will do just this !

Yes, i just stumbled onto this:

http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/

I just set up my active sync with m.google.com (follow the instructions, old, but still work) on my Window mobile, did one sync for everything except my email.

That part of it OK, i reboot to Android (MCCM Desire HD), synch my stuff there (using this same gmail address) and yes, all my contacts show up, contacts with multiple numbers, pictures (girls!) included, wow, just wow...

Give it i try, i'll go see if it actually synchs the calendar, my messages from winmo do not show up though.

Edit: sorry, i guess aegidios2 beat me to it, well here are the instructions, if you have no data plan, surely you can sync using Wifi ?

Update: Yes, i tested, it also syncs the calendar back from Android to WinMo, then Outlook pops op on my computer, informing me about the appointment i put in the calendar, wow, i am hooked !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chabun:
I can do that, yes, but I want to be able to switch between them at any time - even if I'm not at home and no free wlan net is in reach!

Since there were only f****** expensive offers when I bought my hd2....

So I'm currently trying to develope an app for that, but I'm stuck on creating sms on WinMo (I tried the InTheHandSDK, but on my HD2 (latest Artemis ROM with WM 6.5.3) it crashes and in the emulator it fails to store the body of the sms). Does anyone know how to do that??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chabun:
So I think there's no app which can handle that...

Now I'm wondering if anybody else would like to have such an app?

And I have still the problems with reading/restoring sms (on winmo), anyone who could help me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phochiom:
Did you try mIQ, search for it on google

Only downside is you can sync only one device
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rudeguy:
I use Google Calendar Sync and Contacts Sync.

Done completely offline via your home PC. Works flawlessly as long as you have Outlook on your home PC.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chabun:
State

Hey guys,

my conclusion to this thread is, there's no (portable) alternitive way of syncing with your 3g-network, if there's no app.

And that's the point, imagine you're on the beach abroad with your phone in your palm but currently winmo is running. So you start android and after a few seconds (SuperRAM is awsome:D) - f**** the sms from your GF/BF is not there...

Noway to sync with the net if you aren't a millionaire (roaming is s....).

And that's why I need an app, so I started to develop. I alreadey managed to get ceampi succesfully working. My winmo client is nearly finished. Now I need some android gurus to help me.

So anyone interested outthere willing to help? I need to know how to read all mesages stored in the folders (inbox,drafts etc.) and how to create new messages which are stored there as well.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] RNSlate:
Guys,

anyone had luck with installing Gapps? I can get all of the necessary files in their places, but I get the "problems parsing image" error. I am able to modify protected content mounting R/W on root explorer paid version.

I am thinking I need the correct version of Gapps. Can one of the XDA geniuses please help me out.

Thanks,

Rob
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
Supposedly the CM4.x gapps would work, but I haven't given it a look yet. Also I vaguely remember someone else posting about how the google stuff isn't 100% working due to some connection issues.
[Nook Color General] SystemIdleProcess:
We are attempting to get Market to work and am having connection issues. Here is the thread.

Android Market Support (Vending.apk)
[Nook Color General] RNSlate:
I found a link to applanet which is great for market, I just need a calendar that can sync.
[Desire General] AdamG:
As topic says, I have fired up the SDK emulator and thought I would share some of the images, cant wait for the source code to become available :)
[Desire General] madman_cro:
ota is coming today on nexus so hope that we can port it (until source comes)
[Desire General] ivicask:
Thanks for effort Adam.

But this is the same ugly froyo UI if you ask me..Cant wait for Sense Gingerbread roms!
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
Have they mentioned when the source code will become available?
[Desire General] shnizlon:
Thanks . Can't wait :p
[Desire General] Mike_52:
In the coming weeks
[Desire General] io53:
When do you think we can expect to see a 2.3 oxygen rom? ;)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Exactly this, it looks horrid!! Google, for all their power, cannot design an attractive UI
[Desire General] wph:
Really hope the UI is improved.... doesn't look promising. Can't see any improvements yet.
[Desire General] AdamG:
2.3 is a minor update the major ui update isnt expected untill 3.0

anyway the updates listed in the SDK look very good for the Android platform
[Desire General] Mekrel:
Agreed, I've always hated the stock Google UI and somehow (if those screenshots are a true reflection of Gingerbread) they've made it worse!
[Desire General] MacCarron:
Well the new keyboard looks good :D
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
I personally feel that the Google UI is way better than than the Sense UI. It's much more snappier.
[Desire General] OpiZA:
Love the behind the scenes tweaks, but the UI isn't great. Take a page out of iOS for pete's sake.
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
The icons are looking better as well :D
[Desire General] ~David:
I'm a little concerned about the lack of a SIP Phone shortcut in those screenshots :\
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Still not a patch on the HTC one
[Desire General] diggedy:
what are these updates?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Read one of the other 4 threads opened in General for links
[Desire General] alex5566:
AdamG, the world is waiting a 2.3 oxygen rom !!!! Your 1.0 is awsome!!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Not sure Samsung with TouchWiz did any better...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Agree, at least HTC will give it some much-needed eye candy
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Yes - I find it amusing that Nexus S is on a Galaxy S phone - when Galaxy S only very recently got the 2.2 update months after the Desire...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Well, it's a different handset...better processor, apparently it has a curved screen to better fit the face. Balls if you ask me!!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Thought Google would stick with the HTC though and then maybe learn a thing or two about the UI... especially when Google seemed to suggest by 3.0 they will take over the UI of Android...
[Desire General] zaphyr:
We won't see much difference in the stock Android UI until Honeycomb is released. I was using sense myself, until I discovered LauncherPro. Now my Desire looks and responds much better than it ever did before...Sense is overrated imo.
[Desire General] OpiZA:
LauncherPro is indeed great! Far more snappier than Sense. But it made mince meat of my battery, wow. Plus I love the Sense Google Calender widget and Clock
[Desire General] Eggcake:
? It's pretty much a Galaxy S with a new outfit...

I'm also using LauncherPro, but it's the Dialer, Contacts, Alarm, just pretty much every App from HTC I like 1000x more than the one from Google or any other free app available at the market. That's why I always want a Sense ROM - not because of "Sense" per se...

But yes: I really dislike Android Stock Theme...it looks like crap to be honest. Gingerbread seems to look a bit better IMHO, but still years behind...
[Desire General] eduits:
How can you people say that it's ugly?

Taste is personal....

I said it before, i like black you like white

i like mercedes you like a ford.

And the 2.3 isnt even live yet.....
[Desire General] EddyOS:
So to you stock Android is a Merc and Sense is Ford? In which case you're deluded!!
[Desire General] eduits:
that is not what i said.

You dont understand what iám saying.

Taste is personal.

maybe you dont like it, but other people can like it.
