Nope... You can add any Mp3 file you like if you use pushboot

Fixed.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] markbo2000:
Ok, not sure what's happening but I downloaded both animations, put them in my resource file. All I got with each one was the word "Android" animated. I put the old animation file from Myn's and it was back to the original. What's up?

I put one in, then tried the other by the way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] markbo2000:
Alright, solved my own issue, it was a capitalization issue I think. All good now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigd2442:
Very cool boot animation.

Is there any way to skip the small (1 second?) blank screen before the beging of the boot appears with the Evo text?

That would be awesome if it went right from the reversed splash screen to the cube boot without seeing the transition. :)

Thanks for the work! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chuck6993:
The black screen your talking about isn't in the animation. I have no idea what it would take to fix it.

Files listed for HTC Incredible

It looks the files posted here have the HTC Incredible logo when flashed. Are there animations with the Evo logo available?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Subiegsr:
Agreed, I flashed both the EVO silent and the pink incredible silent and they are both incredible boot animations. please fix!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chuck6993:
Fixed. Sorry about that.

I have been working on another animation this weekend. I think its turning out nice, but it still needs a little more work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Subiegsr:
No worries! Thanks again! :)

Evo Froyo stock rom- boot animation

question? I am rooted on stock rom on the evo. i want to install my own custom boot animation on the phone. custom picture and mp3 file. can i successfully do this on my custom rom without bricking my phone? and if so what steps do i need to take to do so? please help =] i need help from more experienced users
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chuck6993:
I think you would get better results if this was in q and a section.

But do a nand back up using recovery before you do anything.

There are a few different ways to put the animation files where they need to be. You can do it manually using root explorer or adb. Search for that there are a few threads on that. I would link some but I'm using my phone.

Some of us use a script that will install the animation files for you. This is how my files work, download the file, put it on your sdcard and flash the zip from recovery.

And I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you will have any problem changing your boot animation on a stock rom. Just do a nand backup using recovery. If it breaks the rom do a restore using recovery.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chuck6993:
New WarmWave animation added.

Let me know what you guys think
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigmike7373:
ok.. i try to flash this and this is what i got ..see attach pic... so what do i need to do to get your boot animation to work..I also get this when trying to flash a ROM..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chuck6993:
That is what you see when your using a newer clockwork mod recovery (3.0+ I think) and the scripting for the file you are trying to flash is using the old style script.

The problem isn't your fault. But a way around it would be to flash an older clockwork mod recovery (witch i wouldn't recommend) or flash Amon_RA recovery [Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3. Amon_RA 2.2 recovery is the one I use. It will work with old and new update scripting.

I'm sorry but I haven't gotten around to updating the scripting on my older animations.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alcurtis93:
I recently flashed a new firmware on my phone and would like to return it to the original firmware that came with the Orange branded phone if thats possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gnargle:
Go to the XDA wiki page for the Galaxy S series and download 'New PC Studio' from the link on that page. Install it and you can do a factory reset of your phone.

Otherwise you're gonna have to search wildly through Samfirmwares to find the right ROM.
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
I just read at androidcommunity.com that Viewsonic will be presenting three new "Tablets" at CES.

"ViewSonic is expected to bring forth a phone-tablet hybrid sort of device that might very well support 4G at CES next week. It could very will be a doozie. The device will have a four-inch screen, capable of making telephone calls, and will be running some version of Android (seems kind of like everything else so far, right?) Sources speaking with Ian Sherr of Dow Jones Newswires said they’d rather not be named since the company is not yet sharing details with the public, but they did let loose that

ViewSonic would also be releasing an additional two MORE tablets at CES as well.

Tablet rain! This comes on the back of the 10-inch ViewPad 7, which basically miffs us then why they’d go all the way back down to 4, unless those other two pads are bigger versions, and this so-called “tablet” isn’t actually a tablet at all, but another smartphone. What do you think?"

What will this new 4 inch "Phone/Tablet do that my HTC EVO can't do? Except the EVO is on Sprint's 4G Network. Curious as to what the "Other Two" tablets will be?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think this was posted here somewhere else but the 4 inch will probably be lots cheaper than say an Evo. Archos has an assortment of different sizes also... I have an Archos5 that gets used all the time instead of my phone. Maybe for someone that just wants a normal phone?, or doesn't need a cell phone?
[Wildfire General] dzadze:
Is it possible to install this on wildfire !? Or someone make it ?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Use the theme porter, I used it to port the theme to cm6.1.
[Wildfire General] AlexKR91:
do you can write manual how to port this them to wildfire? =)
[Wildfire General] dzadze:
i've tried .. nothing change !
[Wildfire General] Jungleman_:
I've succeeded porting MM1.5 to my wildfire's CM6 rom updating via recovery but the result isn't so great... I mean it worked, but the theme is not as nice as on the Desire original version... (too blured).

How i did :

- Theme porter downloaded from the xda forum

- adp pull to get /system/app and /system/framework

- Patched it with theme porter using the option 4 (Hdpi > mdpi)

- replaced the new files on the minimal matte.zip file

- nandroid backup

- udpated my rom from recovery with the minimal matte.zip modded

- restarted with success

The issue, I think, is in the hdpi > mdpi option... cause the theme's pictures are compressed and finally aren't nice at all...
[Wildfire General] loveboatcaptain:
so why didn´t you take the G1/32B version to port... cause that is MDPI allready. didn´t look blurry or something. very cool and good looking on my wildfire.

used theme porter script too
[Wildfire General] Jungleman_:
I've tried it already and twice i've an issue : Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) installation aborted (in recovery)...

Have u change something else in the Minimal matte 1.5.zip than /system/app and /system/framework ?

Thanks

Edit: used the original Minimal Matte 1.5.zip to update my rom via recovery and it was a success ! (just replaced the app and framework folder patched with the G1/32B version)

Thanks !

ROMbot made this forum (i think he did since he's the only poster, besides mine) and copied and pasted all the roms on here, xda, with no credit or links to op from here. I already started a thread there calling him out on this... you all should do the same, unless you don't mind....

He's a whole two releases behind on mine :O

But seriously, it looks like he's doing this across many devices... and since the user is called "ROMBot," it could very well be a spider bot that crawls xda and pulls stuff.

I notice on mine anyways, he/she/it only grabbed the first post... which is odd, because if he/she/it were a human, he/she would've grabbed all the OPs.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgeek:
When I make/get a call while having my phone plugged into my car stereo's Aux input, the call volume is very low. I previously though it simply wasn't coming through at all, but I happed to get a call while the engine was off, and could just barely hear the call volume through the stereo. Even after cranking the phone, stereo & aux level setting in my stereo, the volume's still too low to be used while driving.

Is there a fix, setting, or work-around for this? I really enjoyed using this as my hands-free solution.

One more thing, when I use the stock earbuds with a mic that came with the phone, the volume's fine. I know the phone recognizes headphones with and without a mic from using Tasker.

Thanks in advance! :D

Sometimes pushing new frameworks cause boot loops fyi..
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] purple1:
Happened to me twice :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] MusicMan374:
Did you try renaming it to framework-res.zip rather than .apk? If you have 7-zip or winrar you can also right click, open with, and choose 7-zip or winrar from the choose default program option.

Only if you screw with the non-drawable folders. If you leave the XMLs intact and only change the images it boots fine. The boot loops are caused by incompatible or conflicting XML files, which happens when you just push a random framework-res from another ROM, you have to just move the images over.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] jvegastn:
I use apkmanager for linux and its immensely helpful. Also you can loop one even without modifying the xmls. Least I have that's why the most important part of theming is knowing how to backup/restore or flash sbf or w/e.

[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
With so many ROMs floating around , I am ending up a new ROM every other day :D. What method do U guys use for backing up your configuration/apps and restore it after a full flash. I know that titanium back up comes up handy , but what procedure do U exactly use ? What type of back up and restore do U use ? And what about your screen configuration with all those custom widgets and icons?

Would like your thoughts .....

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] mariotenuta:
I have the exact same question.. Hopefully someone can help us out. Im hesitating on changing to another rom because of this
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
This is what I would do :

Before the flash :

1) Use Titanium Backup and the command : Batch - Back up All user apps + system data

2) Use Launcher Pro (paid but it's well worth it) and the command : Preferences Back up Homescreen & settings

3) Save the backups on your PC hard drive, just in case you need to completely wipe your tab

After the flash :

1) Install LauncherPro and Titanium Back up from the market

2) Use Titanium Backup and the command : batch - Restore Missing apps with data ( I do not restore the system data , because they may be incompatible with the new rom )

3) Use Launcher Pro and the command : Preferences - Restore Back Up

I think that this function is the most useful, because it saves me the time to redo the several custom screens of my Tab. The widgets ( non launcher pro ) will have to be redone again, but at least you will know in which position they were.

After this I would get back pretty much everything except the call logs and the SMS, plus a couple of wifi-apn settings that I can quickly redo manually.

It would be useful to have someone else input though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
it seems he is atleast linking the roms to their original threads here on xda.

look here http://android-addicts.org/board/sh...-eVoKINGS-GINGERBREAD-project_X-v1.0-12-26-10 and see how he has a small bit of text stating "ROM Details" and then a link to xda

i don't feel he is doing the right thing at all, cuz you should ALWAYS ask to repost someones work somewhere else.

But i don't believe ROMbot is trying to take all the credit for the ROMs, just trying to make an easy repository for people to go to. XDA has been getting crowded and some of these newer members tend to be ungrateful for all the hard work.

Ehh all he did was straight copy the dev's OP's for there rom. He left all the links and everything the exact same. Hell even the donation link for EvoZone was left in the post.

He didn't really take the rom, change the name and claim it was his. it is getting the devs work more publicity kinda, though i see your point in that it would be nice to have a header saying so n so over at xda made this. That is one thing left out that should deff be there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:

I went through every thread (inc threads) and not one link or mention to the devs. I figured he did the same with the evo threads. Either way, he's giving people old links with no updates.

I highly doubt he is going to keep all these up to date.

Yes and in turn hes only showing the thanks given out by the rom dev to the other dev work included in the rom.

Hes only missing one simple line at the top of each thread saying this is X's rom over at xda.

To be fair with android being open source you can't get mad at him basically mirroring threads there. He not once in the threads said the roms are by "Rombot"

And if your going to complain about him doing it for site traffic to make $ off of then you should complain to engadget and android centraland the likes whenever they list a devs work that has cracked something over here too then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
Like I said, all the links I went through have no links to xda threads. Only copies of the first post of every thread. Engadget and Android central always link these threads and tell you who the devs are. They are more like reviews of the work done, not forums specifically for roms. And I made this thread for a heads up to all the devs that probably don't know this is happening. I'm sure they don't want people to download and flash incomplete or outdated versions of their roms. That's why the thread title calls for devs.... I'm not a dev but I am a contributer here and work with a few devs so I know most do mind if their work is being released the way this guy is doing it. I never mentioned anything about claims of work by the dude or a money scheme. Just him taking it upon himself to release stuff that is not his, in a way that shouldn't be done. I am proud of my work and I would be pissed if someone released my stuff without my ok.
