[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jmwils3:
Im running a sense ROM (evils desire z), and the bootanimations work just fine on my phone. The only thing, and this might be the fix for those who end up with the stock android bootanimation, is to push it to the /system/customize/resource folder after renaming the file to bootanimation.zip. This is what I did with the bootanimation I loaded (htc thunderbolt), and it worked like a charm.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Tried this, it shows up but not right resolution and bootloops. :(
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jmwils3:
Well, this SHOULD work, so perhaps the file is corrupted in some way. I encountered this error when i got a bad download myself with the thunderbolt, and I tried re-downloading, and it worked fine.

If that doesnt work, perhaps the file isnt the right resolution for the phone or something along those lines. Im no expert with making these things, so Im not sure how one would check that.

Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] UntamedDeviance:
How does one make these Boot Animations? I was looking at the contents of the ZIP files and there are 'Part 1' and 'Part 2'..... I thought it was just going to be like a .GIF, but this is not the case... haha.... Is there a guide out there that shows how to make one?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] shatterpoints:
Yes you can make a .gif and then you make that into the 2 parts. They can be named part 1 and part 2

or

part 0 and part 1

Part 0 is the animation and part 1 loops. Then you set the speed it runs at, and make sure its the right aspect ratio and you're good. I'll find a link to the tutorial I have somewhere here...

http://androidmobileos.com/?p=3861 -> video tutorial

here you go obviously the location of the boot animation will depend on what ROM you have so make sure to keep that in mind.

Hey pack, I installed both the blue and black coin anim and both boot showing the 'stock' anim you have listed. I am running the stock Sense so I DL'd the stock sense versions and both show up and load as your 'stock' anim.

Any suggestions? Maybe the files got named wrong as there are a bunch listed?

I've got gorilla sense on my phone now and I flashed the coin animation and it works just fine, I was under the impression gorilla sense is basically stock sense. Did you flash it in recovery?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
your impression is wrong :p ...

htc sense is not the same as the sense that comes stock on the mytouch aka "mySense"

heres a visual that may help you distinguish between the 2

(htc sense has the "phone arch" across the bottom of the launcher as where mysense has the more square floating bar)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamer_es:
Hello everyone!

I'm a little concerned, I use several applications that when are killed by the OS lose any customization I made.

Full story:

A few days ago I do a backwards and then forwards update to the firmware via Kies registry hacks. I have updated a week or so ago from 2.2 to 2.2.1 JPY but I noticed a huge battery drain, read the YABD thread and concluded that it was because of a bad historic of the battery stats. I couldn't delete them or install a different recovery because in 2.2.1 I wasn't able to root. So I ended up trying to revert to my localized JPB version that was working pretty well, I did but almost all applications turned unusable(force closing all of them) so I decided to try to go to JPY again and see if clearing the cache partition and reflashing could erase the battery stats.

I finally reflashed again JPY and the battery went to a respectable almost two days of lasting, also I noticed a drain using Wifi but was less than before. So I stayed almost happy with it until I found that Fancy Widget, NoLed and CityBikes weren't able to store any settings as far as they were finished by the system, I then checked out to finish them with a task killer to prove my hypothesis and so it did.

Actual state:

I tried to erase and reinstall this apps several times with no change in the behaviour, any ideas of what I can do?

I suspect of a permission problems as this apps where already installed during the flashing process.

I don't want to do a factory reset because I don't want to lose my SMS log and don't know how to backup it and then restore it.

(I already backed up several games that I don't want to start from the beginning again ^^)

Thanks for your help!!

Seems like a fix, but I don't have root access yet and can't access that folder.

I'll try then getting root access in 2.2.1.

Thanks again!!

I ended up installing Voodoo (for JPY) without converting to ext4 yet.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metusion:
I have a weird problem with my galaxy s. Normally my phone reception is strong and shows 5 bars but then sporadically it drops to 0 bars and I have no connection. This happens even when I don't touch the device. However I do notice that when I touch it the signal drops slightly. When I was in a train yesterday it dropped all the time. My father has the same provider as me with his iphone 4 and is not experiencing any drops so that shouldnt be the issue.

This problem seems rather recent after installing darky's rom v.7 and 8, but I'm not sure if that's whats causing the probem. Any ideas? I would hate to send back my phone. Could it also be a sim card problem for some reason?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Try to switch to GSM mode only.. I noticed my signal is about 50% lower if my network mode is set to auto instead of GSM mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metusion:
the signal does seem a bit stronger you're right! thx for that

I'm not sure if it fixes the problem though because it could jump from strong signal to no signal in a split second..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Changed the ROM and got problems does that not give you the answer .

Cannot send back the phone as with a non standard ROM warranty is invalid .

I would flash back to Eclair via ODIN the use Kies to update to your providers current firmware .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metusion:
well it makes no sense that changing a rom that works well for everyone would be a cause of a weird problem like this. I gotta say though that since changing the option that EarlZ mentioned helped and I haven't seen a drop yet, so lets hope that fixed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Does not work well for everyone if you read the multiple complaints .

Thats the nature of rom building a work in progress .

As long as it have the look and feel of ADW.Launcher. It can have what ever UI.
[General Topics] Babydollll:
Just my two cents here but.... I don't get everyone saying android has no polish. I love my Nexus One, I love stock (vanilla) android. I think Touchwiz is an abomination and said as much when that thread came out to put touchwiz on the N1. Sense is pretty but too bloated in my opinion. Don't get me started on Motoblur... I agree earlier versions of android needed work. >2.2 {in my opinion} Personally I think android is fine. (iOS IS pretty, but so what it's also got an evil ecosystem...) The tweaks done to

2.3 are nice but unnecessary (IMHO). I love the way Android looks.... Oh, and I heartily agree with your statement that "UI styling should be about content...."

With Matias Duarte on board we should see some drastic changes in the UI in the upcoming versions.

Look at the Honeycomb on tablets, we're now not required to have physical buttons, virtual controls are there, the switch tasking panel now actually shows us the current snapshot of the appss in the background - awesome idea from WebOS if you ask me.

I'm a phone addict and I try out almost every phone and OS that comes out. I still don't see what you are talking about, WP7 didn't feel any faster or more polished. It's got a new look and has some ooomph too it, but nothing that noticeable.

As am I and I will still admit that the nexus one was the smoothest experience I recieved from an android phone. In all honesty I never thought I'd jump ship and I thought live tiles looked completely retarded. I didnt really think a GPU accelerated UI would mean anything but it did... its just smoother... virtually lag free and though I'm not trying to insult I dont see how you cant see the difference....
[General Topics] Babydollll:
I mean don't get me wrong, live tiles rock (and roll) but maybe it's just my N1 {and Sparky's but I set his up so...}, but I didn't see an overwhelming difference even with the hardware acceleration. I guess it all boils down to (after a certain point) how you have your individual phone configured... I have not yet seen anything worthy of N1 abandonment...t least not yet.

[General Topics] chrizzled:
I thought my N1 was smooth until I tried a Nexus S... now I can't go back.

The Gingerbread stock launcher is silky smooth. WP7 smooth. The scrolling and 3D app drawer is much smoother than LauncherPro or ADW Launcher. Live Wallpapers do not affect performance at all. The new UI elements make android look much more refined. The screen-off animation and the scrolling overshoot glow are amazing. And that's just the UI...

Long live stock Android and Nexus devices!

UI of Android

- The current browser UI is driving me crazy! Especially the back operation could jump to another app is un-acceptable.

- We need to have a mechanism for something like a pop up app. For example, when reading, a quick pop-up to look up a word or access wikipedia. It just need to : select, open with selection. Since Android let all apps open, the user just go back to the last app to continue

- I agree that data is important. The contact is the central of a phone. It can be mail, phone, sms, im, photo, calendar, ... The owner is of-cause need to be part of the contact. And there should be able to browse, jump, classify contacts quickly. I would like to suggest allow tags. An extendable contact db will be very nice.

- Moreover, for tabalet, there should be multi-users, switching profiles, encrypt data, etc. the lock screen should allow change of user

- Please consider the actual usage of a phone or tabalet together with other devices. Android should be part of a bigger system instead of a single computer. Cross interaction with desktop, other tabalets, is a must: ssh should be a standard on every device. There should be neighbour or friends nodes (not people, but devices) that can registers long term or short. There should be a easy way to find the new ip or connection method(bt) for the device. a bluetooth message send to allow register the device and provide a instant connection is good. Porting synergy allow share keyboard, (mouse) and clipboard is good, but need to address the situation where mouse is missing. Send screen shot is useful too. exchange pic, contacts, calendar events, ....

- Make index a ready service, update of index can be done when charging. It can be a mode call sleep, which will do house keeping like : update indexing, clean up space, calculate statistics, exchange data with cloud. The phone would work but will be slow. User can understand that the phone go sleep a while to keep healthy. The index is very valuable : provide fast browsing for things, faster search, and support a multi-dimension browsing experiende.

- clipboard : with multi-history

- Please check lePhone : use of gesture instead of soft key.

- Fast switch between opened apps

- notice : allow user to block call, sms, ... to interrupt. There can be a priority and the user can set the current lock level, priority lower the lock level would not sound, visual or virbaton

- I am not very sure about this : there should be scene : like meeting, driving, atHome, atOffice, etc. which can be auto-detect by various sensers. But too smart a phone can also be troublesome.
[General Topics] kentsin:
allow two phones to compare the app list, find common contacts, temporary play a game with connection (like NDS download play), peer chat (group of devices), share camera, audio, borrow book

current desktop background is not good. Make it easier for user to dress up their phone.
[Streak 5 General] mossywell:
Hi, I have a streak with the infamous gorilla glass cracked screen. (I think a nitrogen molecule landed on the screen.) The problem is that this was all a few months ago when I was playing with the Streak and trying different upgrade / downgrade options. I've decided to go back to it and see what can be done about it. But that's not the point of the question: my question is that given that the screen's unresponsive, I can't fine out which ROM and baseband I left on there! (I can't unlock the screen at boot up and I can't select fastboot for the same reason.) The only thing I can get into is recovery (because it doesn't require touchscreen, only buttons.) Is there a way to find out which ROM and baseband I have on there?

Hi there, i just perm-rooted my phone yesterday.

But thats all i did. perm-root only!

Is it possible to flash clockworks recovery with root only?

or do i need more? like radio-s-off or something else?

another question: root means "s-off" right?

or are root and s-off different things?

aandd third question: when i delete things with root explorer out of the /system/app folder, they recover after reboot!

i always deleted the apk and the odex file. apps like stock and amazon mp3.

Reboot your phone holding volume down and power buttons and if the first line of text says something like "HTC ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you can use clockwork to flash a new rom :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranceonline:
ok thx, ill do right now. but how do i reboot after beeing in bootloader?

last time i dont got it rebooting without getting the battery out.

is there another way?

got it ;) fastboot-> Power Down

it says S-ON :(

why do i needs-off for when i got root?

my last phone was a G1. there u only needed root and could do anything with it :D

So for anykind of rom (recovery, FW ROM) i do need s-off? :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshy73:
Having perm root id not enough if you want to flash ckockworkmod via Rom Manager. You need to have radio s-off.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
This phone doesn't have normal rom memory. It is emmc type. By default its contents are locked. If you change anything in a system partition like /system or /recovery your changes will be overwritten with the original value every time you reboot.

S-off can be thought of as an unlock for your emmc memory. It tells your phone to skip the integrity check on your emmc. In effect this means that with s-off your emmc will not be reset at boot.

There are two types of s-off. Radio and engineering hboot.

Radio is the more important one to have because it can only be removed manually. Engineering hboot gets reset back to s-on if you run an official update. It is also safer to make your phone radio s-off than engineering hboot s-off as a bad flash to hboot is the only way to permanently brick your device.

Having said that you need engineering soff to use fastboot commands. You need fastboot to flash new radios, splash screens, and is the safer way to flash kernels.

Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
The short story is that you should get both types of s-off if you are a serious phone hacker, but if you must choose only one let it be radio s-off.

Hopefully this helps you understand our device a bit better
