thats funny, i flashed the dragon kernel the other day and had the same issue, I had to remove the execute bit from /system/bin/bootanimation

you can goto a shell, su then chmod 644 /system/bin/bootanimation

reboot, you'll see it doesn't show the android between every other frame now

also i removed the bootanimation.zip file totally

you can just grab a flashable version for the nero rom w/ dragon kernel from the link in the first post i just put it up this morning
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] winhwah:
Awesome, it works perfectly. I used RootExplorer to remove the bootanimation as you said and voila I have my fav bootanimation back. Thanks a bunch! ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
your site isnt working. it says

Not Found

The requested URL /phone/kor-boot-nero5.zip was not found on this server.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SimeonAS89:
Funny, i have that same issue myself now. I fixed it before I flashes Nero v5 and now it's a no go. Could voodoo being enabled have something to do with it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
I fixef my link, sorry I put that up right before I was running out the door last night.

Nero5 is missing the playlogos files, I included them in this zip from nero4.

I can only speculate they are removing files they dont use to refine thier rom as time goes on, or maybe ka5 leak doesnt use those files. I havent checked.

My n5 ver should work with stock or dragon kernel. I just combined what they do for the sake of time I just disable that bootanimation functionality for both.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
thanks jbeez. linked worked and so does the file. bootanimation loads too
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SimeonAS89:
Worked flawlessly! Thanks for reuploading those files. I wonder why they didn't include those .bin files in Nero v5?

Thanks again.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
hey jbeez...thanx for your help in this post..thanks to you I managed to reenable boot sound...

Fllowing your advice and link I flashed the korean nero v5 file you have which reenabled boot sound...but then the boot animation works with the qmg file..i tried reflashing a bootanimation because i want to combine sound with a bootanimation...but all i ended up with is a black screen during boot right after vibrant and no sound....is there anyway to combine both?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
You would need to undo what I do to /system/bin/bootanimation that file should be owned by root or 0.0 and permissions should be 755 iirc. If you dont have it anymore you can snag it from inside the nero install zip. I can try to make a zip tomorrow when im near my comp to do this if its giving you some trouble

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S - powered by Team Whiskey™
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
would that enable sound and boot animation zip?

But honestly..not sure what I'm supposed to undo exactly..sorry..just started playing around with these sort of things...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
if you could give me a zip that allows sound AND bootanimation tat would be awesome..this way I could change bootanimation.zip or poweron.wav to whatever I need to make custom boot themes..I ave a request for a burping clam on Nero v5 from RaymondPJR :P... of course all credit would go to you...I hate the qmg files ince I cant edit them or create them..

Thats why I love xda...over 100 people who know what to do and let others know what it is..

(but I still want to know what you mean by undo what you did...which file have you modified..and for the properties do you adb them? I think thats what ive seen in a previous post of yours..)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
when I say undo what you've did, I'm not sure if you've done anything outside of my last zip. I just leave the bootanimation but remove the execute bit from it. You can restore that so it plays videos with the commands below. If you deleted that binary you'll have to restore it, you can grab it from the nero zip.

you can delete those two qmg files if you wanted,

adb shell

su -

cd /system/bin

chown 0.0 bootanimation

chmod 755 bootanimation

exit

exit

reboot your phone and try it out

im not sure if this will still try to play both animations, you could also delete the playlogo files, they are /bin/playlogo and /bin/playlogos1 which are for the qmg, nero5 has those removed from the distro, my zip adds them back in.

The only issue I possibly forsee is if your /system is mounted ro I've seen that sometimes not sure why it would do it, mine is usually mounted rw. rootexplorer can fix that or you can remount it with a command, you need to run mount and doublecheck the device its mounted from if thats the case.

So lets say you just installed nero fresh, what functionality would you want in the zip, install the korean poweron wav? how about the shutdown sound? and the shutdown animation? I can make one that doesn't install the bootup animation files, playlogos bins, and keeps bootanimation executable but that wouldn't necessarily reverse what my current zip does, it wouldn't touch the bootanimation binary at all, you need to reverse the change with at least that chmod 755 command as root in a shell.

HTH
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
in order to get the korean zip to work i had to delete the bootanimation zip file cause i was getting a black boot screen (thought i killed my phone for a sec).

I will play arou nd with those things but if its not a problem for you to make a zip file that enables the poweron.wav file and works with bootanimation.zip that would be awesome. basically what you have now but instead of using the qmg files for boot..using the bootanimation.zip

This way I can fully customize the boot and shutdown with custom sounds and jpegs to meet the request I have and make some other fun ones for people. (as I said they will all go with credit to you :)...wouldnt be able to even get sound back without you).

currently ive reflashed your korean fix because flashing a bootanimation.zip on top does not restore...it just ends up with no sound and a blank black screen for boot (which as I said is scary the first time around :P)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
give this one a shot, i dropped the drunken clam from nero in there. I haven't tested it on my phone running short on time today I've been pretty busy at work.

No need for credit to me, anything I did here was based off of the OP's work and pestering ttabble and others from team whiskey, thanks though!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
no worries..the fact that you are helping me is more than enough....the zip worked like a theme restore..clam is back so I'm guessing I can flash another boot animation zip without s problem now..but no sound

What did you do to enable sound in korean zip?

As I said..no hurries..and thank you again...and when its done..any custom boot animation I make (animation and sound combo) will be due to your help so I will have to mention that :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
in the original file I just put the PowerOn.wav in /system/etc/ and made sure that the permissions and ownerships were correct.

It's possible that the bootanimation binary doesn't support playing a sound file, only playlogos?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
according to SimeonAS89 i should just take the playlogos files out of your korean zip file with root explorer and put into appropraite location...if that does the tirck its pretty simple..

i dont know what it supports and it doesnt..its all way over my head and ive tried several threads trying to find an answer and nothing ..not here on xda or on tw forum..this thread is the closest solution with your korean zip that reenables sound but uses the qmg files..then there is the sound zip you gave me that restores back to bootanimation but then no sound...it seems to be that a combination between the two files is needed..but like i said..way over my head what the problem is,,,it could be as simple as adding the play logos files into your test sound zip..ill try a few things and update here..im sure there are lotsss of people who would like to know solution for future... :)

if you find out anything in the mean time let me know...thanx again for help..you and SimeonAS89...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
this one also puts the playlogos files back in there
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
still no sound...bootanimation.zip works and shows clam...but no sound...when I try flashing korean zip..i have sound and qmg files load..if I try deleting qmg files and adding the bootanimation.zip I get no sound and a blank black boot screen..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
I think the way it works is that bootanimation binary doesn't play sounds, only playlogos do. If both are present than the bootanimation takes precedence, if that isn't executable it falls back to the playlogos setup where it runs the qmg files. I'm not sure you can have both, I'll need to look into it further when I get a little time to tinker.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
I think that may be the case...if it is I hope you can find a fix to combine the two...appreciate the help...will be standing by...also trying stuff through pm with other user of this thread
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
I started looking at init scripts, I found a logcat of a boot that references mediaplayer or pvplayer playing the wav file. I havent gotten that going yet. I was just checking out sgstools and it has a startup sound changer option, can you try that out? Im curious if it just swaps that file or will put a process in place to make the sounds play

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S - powered by Team Whiskey™
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
ill try and look into what you said...I've never used sgs tools but if I google it I might be able too...I'm guessing I might be able to create an init script which would enable sounds with it....?!

I would say most of what you said sounded greek to me...but I know greek...we say it sounded chinese....:p

But I'll try :)

I pulled this from my data directory on my phone, hope it works for you. Yea I didn't find it in the market either, thats strange
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Apk worked thanks...i like the options...but didn't enable sound...something else is stopping it...wish I knew what...i mean if you can enable it while using qmg, old nero used too have sound with boot animation zip...what did team whiskey do to disable it in new version??

Only tw would know the answer to that...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
Which version of nero it was working in.

I was poking around in system\etc\init.goldfish.sh and found a few values you might try to toggle these,

ro.kernel.android.bootanim 1 is being set, try to set that to 0 ? save the file and reboot
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Ahhh...if I remember correctly it was nero v3...or the one before..I'll try the values and post back..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Tried that...no luck..and from what I hear trigger had no boot sound either...whyyyyyyyu :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jbeez:
I just spoke with Sombionix real quick, he told me the bootup sound functionality for bootanimation.zip is something to do with the kernel and its not in there. Also ttabble spoke with supercurio about it and supercurio mentioned that since the alsa sound drivers are in the voodoo enabled kernels that it could do it, however if the media service starts up before you're finished it crashes. Sounds like something I wouldn't want to find out the hardway, crashing before I can finish booting up :)

HTH

-J
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Then why does sound work with your korean zip with the same voodoo kernel enabled....no crashes...that'd what I don't get...

If you can get sound with qmg on same kernel...why not with boot animation zip?

I know alot of people who have complained about hitting the home or back button while playing a game or something like that and I think I've found a solution.

1. Change launchers, or go to applications screen, press menu, select edit and drag what you want down to the dock bar.

2. Use a screen capture app like shootme. Otherwise you need to use a camera.

Clarification: Shootme only supports ROOTED devices, according to its listing on Market.

Side Note: Neither adjusting dock bar icons/action buttons nor taking screen captures cause brick events to my knowledge.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

Careful with that statement. The differences between carrier versions are substantial enough to brick you. (Telus?)

ShootMe works on the Verizon Fascinate without root.

I am running Fresh Evo with Apps2sd so my "internal" apps install to my ext3 partition.

Some apps in the market try to install themselves to the Fat32 partition through Froyo and it is causing larger apps not to install (PocketLegends) and other problems.

Is there a way to change the default install location to internal memory?

The only way you can create a Play List in the current version of WP7 is via the Zune. You would have to create the playlist in the Zune and then sync your device. Thats when the play list comes up on your phone. I know, it sux, but for now thats the only way.

I'm trying to get voodoo on my phone.. sick of oclf.. however the one I found says its for dj05 only... also.. why can't I find any videos of ppl installing voodoo? .. all the info I read on these forums raise so many more questions than I can get answers.. my brains gonna explode
[Fascinate General] s44:
If you have to ask, you don't.

Take the following steps, in order:

(1) Remove OCLF

(2) Root

(3) Download and Odin in the ClockworkMod recovery package (link in Dev forum sticky)

(4) Install ROM Manager (free version) from the Market and select the flash Clockwork option (twice to be sure) from inside the app

(5) Download the DJ05 ROM (either stock or Super Clean) from the DJ05 thread in the Dev forum to your SD card

(6) Download the latest Voodoo5 kernel from jt's thread in the Dev forum to your SD

(7) Install Titanium Backup from the market and backup your user apps and data. Don't back up system apps and data, because restoring some of them will screw you up later

(8) Go into Clockwork recovery and make a backup of everything just in case

(9) When the backup is finished, stay in Clockwork and clear data and cache

(10) When that's finished, stay in Clockwork and flash the zip with the ROM you've selected in step 5

(11) When that's finished, stay in Clockwork and flash the zip with the kernel you've selected in step 6

(12) Reboot, listen to the Voodoo voice telling you about the conversion (should be *very* fast since you've deleted all your apps), let it boot all the way (may take a while since there's no cache etc)

(13) Download and Odin in the DJ05 modem (into *PDA*) from the DJ05 thread

(14) Reboot, download Titanium again from the market, and use it to restore your missing apps

I'm not going to explain each step in detail, but at least you know what you have to look up and in what order. ;)
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
first off.. thank you very much.. this will help me and others tremendously.. second.. I think if you could elaborate on 3 and 13 just a little bit this could be a perfect guide for new but competent users wanting to voodoo their fascinate..

the few uncertainties I'm having with 3 and 13 are.. odin in.. I was under the presumption that odin did not work on the fascinate.. and in 13 I'm just not sure what is going on with the pdf.. pdf's are like a text file in picture form. right? ..

I'm sorry to ask more of you because you have already given an excellent step by step .. but if we can make this better I think it can be copy pasted or stickied for the masses..

thank you
[Fascinate General] jccowardin:
This is already fairly well explained in the other stickies in the dev forum...
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Well, you could get it installed by typing "release dj05" and following all the instructions from result #1.

Alternatively, you might type simply "dj05" into google, it is currently the fourth result. You can decide which method is least difficult.

In either case you want adrynalyne's post right here in xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869990

Admittedly, the instructions are a little terse, but you are meant to understand Odin and CW recovery going in. These are mostly explained in the threads linked here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855900

However, you asked 'if' not 'how'. To check: 1. Press [HOME] button 2. Press [MENU] 3. Select "Settings" 4. Scroll to bottom and select "About Phone" 5. Scroll to the bottom and look for 'Baseband', it should read S:i500.04 V.DJ05

'Build Number' should also include 'DJ05'

A benchmark does not actually show how fast your phone is....

quadrant scores =/= to your phone being 'fast'.

But if you care about synthetic benchmarks then you could trick your file system into giving you quadrant scores in the 3000+ range.
