1. 1974 Animation Will probably come next (after I get flashables of the 10th Doctor animation for 3 phones.)

2. I could only do the Doctor Who Animations as I have ever episode on a external. IF you could give me the name of the episode/season/series/whatever from Hitchhikers...I could TRY to find it to do it.

3. plain zip files being bootanimation.zip and push it via ADB? I don't know about getting the sound for that.... I think I have the best of Doctor Who Vol 2 or something of music cd...and that might have the theme song...I don't know...if not...You could just flash the SPC_animation_final.mp3 from the 10th Doctor (mid 2000 era) with the old one...if not link me to the mp3.

I could add sound. I will try to get this done within the next 2 days. Flashable zip right?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ChrisDos:
There episodes of HHGG are on youtube. But the quality isn't that great on there. I'll see what I have around and get back to you on HHGG.

I don't really want the sound to be on the boot animation. For a ringer that is fine and I found that from the market.

Thanks again for your hard work. The doctor fans must stick together.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kerdack:
Yeah flashable zip please. The first one flashed fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Balian67:
It flashed fine? Doesn't the Epic have a different recovery? The screen res of the Epic is 480x800 so you shouldn't have trouble with the Evos desc.txt file configuration.

Check the Original Post of mine...I have a flashable zip for AOSP (/system/media) roms, Sense (/system/customize/resource) (<----doubt this will work), and for some weird roms (which I think isn't logical that use /data/local). So check the ones with audio for me and see if it works.

Tell me which one you used, and I will try to get into the #samsung-epic channel and find out where the bootanimation audio goes, then I can try to write a new update-script for your phone then I will release in the Samsung Epic section of XDA IF you come back and try one of my .zips with Audio and it doesn't work.

I WILL eventually get to releasing it in other phones (even though I don't have it in my possession) and try to get things to work for all of my fellow who fans. :)

Whoians must stick together :-P

I will probably even find a small avatar icon of David Tennant for my profile. The reason why I choose him is because in his episodes he said things that helped motivate me in my life....so im kind of attached to him (even though I think Matt Smith is just as awesome). Oh, and update my signature to quote myself from my SDX profile!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jefbal99:
I flashed the animation with sound on my phone, its great, but I want no audio. So I downloaded and flashed the version w/o sound, but still had audio. I tried a different boot animation with no sound, but still had the Dr. Who audio.

What settings do I need to modify or what file can I delete from to make my phone boot without audio.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cyberone3:
if you remove the android_audio.mp3 file the sound will go away on my rom its in system/media

my rom doesn't look at the spc_bootaniamtion.mp3
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jefbal99:
I'm on a Sense ROM so its system/customize/resources, but dumping the mp3 was exactly what I needed to do.

Thanks so much :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Balian67:
Thanks for answering. I just started school monday so I've been busy.

NOTICE: This weekend I'll make the Tom Baker Animation (Prob even with SOUND).

Check Saturday to be sure then again Sunday...I'll prob work on it Friday, then release Saturday sometime.<-----------DONE

CHECK ORIGINAL POST!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
Thanks for your hard work on this. my wife hates my MT4G even more now... I have the TARDIS with Built by the Time Lords "Borrowed" by The Doctor Powered by Android as my Splash screen, followed by your bootanimation for the 10th Doctor w/loud theme, and black and red exploded blueprint of a Dalek as my wallpaper and the following sounds Ringtone as Sonic screwdriver, TARDIS taking off as SMS/MMS, Dalek saying "Exterminate, Annihilate Destroy" as e-mail.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
dude THANKS! when I first saw the thread I thought i'd never want to put the boot animation on my phone despite how much I love the Doctor...but then I wanted to move from my Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy motif and I thought of the doctor.

now I have a custom DW splash, your boot animation, and a tricked out DW Widgetlocker lock screen :-)

only thing is the audio is not long enough to cover the whole animation so i'm going to resample in SoundForge to extend the time.

great work. thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
to the OP:

i downloaded the following:

11th Doctor Animation WITH Sound FOR SENSE

and noticed an issue with the animation. there is something that is making a black screen come up at the end of the bootloop before it starts again. i noticed in the part1 folder you have thumbs.db, which may have been what caused it. i thought to keep the animation more fluid that images 150, 151, and 152 should go out the window, and at the same time i removed thumbs.db. that made the animation more fluid and no more flashing black screen. i'm willing to bet now that it was the thumbs.db file creating that issue. might want to remove it from the OP.

thanks again for a great job! you've helped Doctor-ize my EVO :cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Balian67:
woah, that is a LOT of work. I will remember that for any future animations or if I ever get the time to do that. Thanks for the info. Someone actually taught me to make sure the thumbs.db isn't in there, but I forgot. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Der_Wolfsandroide:
I don't know if anyone is still monitoring this thread but I have an issue; I tried flashing the AOSP Baker file and recovery spat it back out at me with some twaddle about deprecated signatures. I'm not sure whether I can just go into the guts and take the boot animation zip to the data/local directory and take care of it that way, or if there's another way of going about it. It would be really sad if I can't have Baker on my boot-up, so I'm hoping someone has an insight on this.

[About XDA developers] nrfitchett4:
I'm getting a weird pop up box with every click on xda-developers this morning.

The box pops up, saying I need to enter a user name and password for stage.myplaydirect.com

This happens for both firefox and IE.

Anyone else having this problem? Makes for a frustrating surfing experience. Only happens on the xda site. Reset computer, ran virus scan and came back clean.
[About XDA developers] Medved77:
Yes, me too using firefox. Really irritating and I hasten to add that I have not attempted to submit my real username and password incase it's a rather 'in your face' form of phishing.
[About XDA developers] nrfitchett4:
I got the same problem on both firefox and IE, and only when browsing this forum. No other sites or forums cause this pop up and my virus checker came up empty as did a complete scan of my system.

That's why I'm pretty sure something from this site is generating it.

Good to know I'm not the only one. Google didn't shed any light on it either other than some sony myplaydirect program, which isn't installed on my computer and I had never heard of.
[About XDA developers] wandborg:
Same here stage.myplaydirect.com

Have same problem with my Nexus One, log on to "stage.myplaydirect.com" pops up every time i reach the XDA forum and only there.

But on my computer it does not???
[About XDA developers] vagelisv:
I have it too! really annoying... is it a bug of xda?
[About XDA developers] jagar:
i have same message on all pages on XDA using FF3.6 and IE8.

No viruses found by anti virus program :confused:
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
I think this was solved by Svetius, and was related to third party advert code.

FWIW, xda doesn't ask for your password in such a box, so don't type it into that box. And your XDA password never needs to be typed into a site other than xda-developers.com and iphone-developers.com (if you import your account there)
[Wildfire General] danny.don:
Hi everyone,

Is formatting (factory reset) your phone often bad for the ROM or in general bad for the phone?

Thanks.

No it isnt bad for your phone you just lose all your settings its totally harmless ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
How's it work?

It even works when the phone is off. I don't know how it works? What's telling AT&T "hey, route this to Google instead"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sremick:
It changes your call forwarding preferences. That is an AT&T setting back at home, so is independent of the state of your phone.

A call goes to voicemail if your phone is busy or doesn't answer. How that's handled is done at the AT&T end.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jdeleon13:
Well there have been several problems with this Touch pro 2

One, whenever I try to slide my phone and I close it back it freezes the screen I have to do a soft reset and play around with it for a while so it can unfreeze.

Two, phone doesnt' seem to be working at the moment right now it is plugged into the charger the orange led light of "charging" lights up after a while the light turns off and the same process repeats itself

It will charge for about 1 minute go back to no light and then by itself charge again

I don't understand since last night around 12 it was charging fine and by today morning 5AM it had no battery.

ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[XPERIA X8 General] fatexo:
hey guys i was using my X8 updated to 2.1 for a couple of weeks.

i used ADW launcher as home replacement..

accidently i uninstalled the ADW while using it..

so the phone became unstable for a few moments then it restarted by itself and kept on restarting till the lock screen was displayed, untill i did a battery pull.

so i tried updating the software again from the sony update service.

the upgrade was successful and told me to disconnect the phone from the USB.

after then i switched on my X8.

but then when the lock screen appeared the phone suddenly restarted itself.

and it kept on restarting every time it reached to the lock screen.

then i made a battery pull and removed my SIM card.

and this time i switched it on without the SIM and it worked !

the phone started as normal in 'no SIM' mode.

then i switched it off, inserted the SIM, switched on..

the same problem again.. :(

then again after a battery pull i connected the phone to the charger (with the SIM still inserted) and it worked..!!

the phone did every thing it should normally.(played music,videos, installed apps from market and browser, etc)

but when i remove the charger, the phone display went off and then the same restart problem.. :(

i have tried connecting the phone to the update service and re did the update process 3 times.

but the problem still remains.. :(

can anyone help me out of this plzz ??? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] fatexo:
some one plzz help me out fast..

i need a phone for work.

currently i m using it without a SIM

anyone plzz tell me wat to do so it starts working with the SIM too.
[XPERIA X8 General] mhyke13ph:
i kinda experience this problem too, but its kinda different, the screen is all black(turned on) and i cant do anything about it, i tried to swipe to unlock and came back to homescreen

and i never used ADW launcher again. il stick to Launcher Pro.

why not install again ADW launcher when you can? it might fix the problem
[XPERIA X8 General] fatexo:
getting nothing but FCs when installed ADW again :(

tried using launcher pro but it didnt work..

1 more thing i noticed now is dat the battery level changes every time the phone restarted..

like if its on 52% then it goes to 4% on the second restart, then suddenly to 100% on the third one..
[XPERIA X8 General] danielfonseca890:
you have the backup that you have to make when you update your software to 2.1? use them and he back to 1.6 . And next put the 2.1 again :)
[XPERIA X8 General] fatexo:
i dont have the backup..

i went to the sony service center and they said that my X8 need a circuit change and it will take about 1 week..

i dont think a hardware part replacement is necessary so i didnt gave them my phone..

anyways i am thinking of switching to a better android phone like the HTC desire..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
So something weird happend with my desire today, I tried to reboot to recovery and it just frezes at splash screen...

cant boot to recovery or fire up the system

I think fastboot works normaly. Cause I can find my phone in cmd /fastboot devices. Is there anything I can flash trough fastboot to fixthis ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
You could first try flashing your recovery image, which you can place to the root of your SD card with a card reader. Then execute the following command while your phone is connected to your PC in Fastboot mode using ADB:

fastboot boot <name-of-your-recovery.img> (your current recovery image)

fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>

If what I suggested above does not work, then you could also try flashing back to stock firmware. Try to extract the rom.zip from your stock RUU (found here) and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, then place this to the root of your SD card with a card reader, for instance, and then enter Fastboot mode by first powering off your phone and keeping your finger pressed down on the back button and pressing the power button once. When in Fastboot mode (release your finger from the back button), connect your phone to your PC via USB, and wait for "Fastboot" to change to "Fastboot USB". The zip should then run for you and allow you to revert back to stock ROM.

Note: if you were originally branded, you will also require a Gold Card to return to stock ROM. You can use a card reader to create one using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
Ok ill finnish my post here...

thanks for response btw:)

anyway I dont have a card reader is there no way to flash from my computer?

Iver tried to /fastboot flash some files but I just get errors (status malformed)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Just to make sure, did you put your device in fastboot mode before attempting to boot/flash the image?

What does "fastboot devices" return?

E.g:

C:\Users\Me>cd..

C:\Users>cd..

C:\>cd android-sdk-windows\tools

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
/fastboot devices returns HT061PL00341
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Ok, then it finds your Desire, thats good.

The things is... you need your rom recovery image/rom image on the root of your SD card, if they are not there, then it will probably return the error you suggested above.

Try using a different phone that accepts MicroSD cards or a USB card reader/Laptop card reader (when you purchased your SD Card, it would have come with an adaptor for the SD card, place the SD card into the adaptor and then try inserting this into your laptop card reader bay).

Then you can try the fastboot commands above having transferred your image to it.

You could even try this in fastboot mode (fastboot USB) in ADB:

fastboot update PB99IMG.zip (name of your renamed RUU file)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
Ok ill get myself a card reader tomorrow , if dosnt work I´ll be a new owner of an DHD:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
OK mate... but if you want DHD, are you aware that you can have these ROMs running on the Desire? They were ported over and contain the same new Sense UI with the Advanced Power Hibernation option, etc.

Do you not think you will be just wasting your money? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
well the DHD has a somewhat larger screen. So I think its worth it(to bad it dosnt support hdmi) So if I cant get my desire up and running again I will not be that sad. I sent you a pm. thanks for all the help. Must wait untill the stores are open, to try again. I´ll give you an update tomorrow.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Ok bud... until then, take it easy ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
Ok i got my card reader, but i have no clue which file I shoud download, i tried the first one but phone returned error/wrong file

update: first zip file was damaged trying again...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
should i download an Archived File or an Binary File and change the file extension ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Was your phone originally branded? If it was (and you previously de-branded), then you need to create a Gold Card first (use the tool below in my sig with your card reader).

After you have made the Gold Card, download the following: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip

Rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (back + power), connect the phone via USB, fastboot will then change to "Fastboot USB". It will check the PB99IMG.zip and confirm its selection, and be prepared to wait a few minutes until it flashes.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejacksooted:
next question:

how did my phone got messed up in the first place? I know i had eclipse on with usb debugging on. I think eclipse tried to adb push some files over and I just removed the phone from the charger. I'm going to be more careful next time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Yes, you will be back to stock firmware. If your phone was originally S-ON, it will remain as S-ON unless you flashed the modified Hboot (AlphaRev) to unclock the NAND security flag providing full root access to your phone.

There will be no Superuser access when reverting back to stock firmware, unless you went and flashed a modified stock ROM that has root access (software root).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudUK:
I've got a few questions, but the thread title is probably the most appropriate

I have an HTC Desire Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON

Runs HBOOT 0.93.0001

Radio version 5.11.05.27

I'm looking to root it on it's stock, up to date ROM, partly in order to remove some of the bloat that gets installed (Facebook for HTC Sense being a big annoyance, seeming to block the normal facebook app from any kind of sync, meaning I can only have ALL facebook contacts, or none. I would rather "only sync existing contacts", but this is not possible with the Sense facebook), and partly for root apps.

However, having done some research, it appears that I need to load a custom recovery image to do so, which as far as I know will mean automatic updates are no longer possible.

So question 1. Is this correct?

Question 2. Even if automatic updates are not available, is it possible to keep using stock HTC ROMs, manually updating them? (And if so, will this retain all the settings/accounts/apps/contacts/etc that were on the phone beforehand? Or will I need to set everything up again?)

Question 3. If using HTC ROMs is going to be a massive pain, not possible, whatever, which custom ROM provides both the Sense UI (minus the awful facebook apps, etc included, if possible), while aiming for stability and speed. (Leedroid seems to be the best bet, but better to check with those who have experience)

Question 4. If flashing to a custom ROM, or even updating a custom ROM, is it possible to again, save all settings and apps, such as account sync, contacts, etc, or will the phone be essentially "factory" and require a total setup again?

Question 5. What exactly is the difference between Shell root and root, and would I be able to uninstall system apps such as the "Facebook for HTC Sense" app that comes preinstalled, with it?

Question 6. What would I need S-OFF for and should I do it? (Not totally sure if this is a requirement for nandroid backups, hence why I ask!)

Can't think of anything else for now, so I'll thank those who reply in advance!
