Boot animations are spectacular very nice. I loaded the AndroidParticles one but as I am seeing a little to much for my grandpa mytouch 3g lol. But still non the less I like it alot.
[Android Themes] Zhypr:

[Android Themes] revenge50:
I agree,AndroidParticles boot ani is awesome :]
[Android Themes] Dysgenic:
Thanks all !!

Added a new particle animation.
[Android Themes] revenge50:
well good job

and there is a thanks button for that
[Android Themes] snwboard333:
Is it possible for the particles to have the circle keep spinning around the droid logo instead of it repeating the whole animation over and over. I think it would look cleaner.
[Android Themes] Dysgenic:
Added the Looped version ^_^
[Android Themes] topjor:
Wy can't I see animated images on the android app, will look at it tomorrow

[Android Themes] Kovyrshin:
Installed android particles loop to my phone, but i can't understand. I see only 1.5 or 2 loops, and then some black screen for 3-4 seconds. maybe 5. then phone boot and work.

If this can be because the animation got insufficient frames? (i mean all the frames are shown, but the phone hasn't loaded)?

Can any1 comment on it?
[Android Themes] Dysgenic:
I don't know, maybe it's the ROM you are using.

I'm using Cyanogen ROM and i see 1 or 2 loops then it goes directly (less then 1 sec) to lockscreen.

Still don't like it that it first needs to put all the images in cache before the animation goes smooth though...
[Android Themes] mendozinas:
Awesome animations. Whould u mind to allow them in UOT kitchen http://circle.glx.nl ?

No matter what I do, this phone will not return to a stock unrooted state.

I have tried Odin. It freezes on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! or cache.rfs no matter what I do, no matter which computer I run it on, no matter which USB port I plug it into.

Heimdall also fails. It starts, claims that it is updating factory filesystem, then stops with no error message. Reattempting results in the error message "failed to retrieve config descriptor."

No matter what I do, I can't return this phone to stock! This will make it harder to sell if I ever do sell it, and plus, not being able to clean the slate means any 2.2 ROMs I flash have had serious lag problems, leaving me stranded on Eclair!

Help?

i had the same problem, i sent mine to t-mobile and they mailed me a replacement soon after.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
have you tried other versions of odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
I've only tried Odin3v1.00 and Heimdall.

I can't find any downloads for other versions; all Google searches lead to v1.00.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
look for the 1.3 in the bible section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Try no version of odin. or close odin and reopen it, sometimes takes a few shots before it works
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
+1 for a newer version of Odin.

I thought I had perma-bricked my phone a month ago, but solved the flashing problem simply by using a newer version. Here is 1.7:

[G Tablet General] aaron19953:
Is this driving anyone else bonkers, or just me ??

Sometimes, it will just say "nope not gonna listen" then 5 minutes later it works just fine. I've noticed sometimes when it doesn't respond, if i turn it portrait it works fine. Sometimes the screen works but the soft keys dont, sometimes none of it works.. I've even been in recovery to backup a rom and the home and back keys didn't work..

I'm running the latest vegan, and the "calibration" fix has been made..

It's driving my wife crazy, and in turn me ..
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
aaron19953:

I don't know how much you have added to your tablet -- but if it were me I would flash back to 3452 or one of the other recent stock versions. Get everything working and see if your hardware is good.

If you continue to have problems with a plain, stock version then warranty or return actions are in order.

If the stock works without complaint, then you can start your mod quest again!!!

When I have trouble, I always try to work my way out with a known good.

[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
My guess is this - you left the calibration.ini file in place on your internal SD card and the screen is getting recalibrated on every boot. Sometimes you are booting up while touching the screen, which completely screws up the calibration.

You should only reboot the tablet once with calibration.ini in place, without touching the tablet during the bootup process.

Then remove calibration.ini so it doesn't calibrate again on the next reboot.
[G Tablet General] aaron19953:
forgot to mention.. occasionally i'd walk outside in the cold with the tablet and noticed it didn't respond quite so well.. after putting the tablet in front of a space heater for a few seconds, the touch works fine..

This morning, i noticed the tablet not responding (and i did recalibrate and rename the file last night) I put the tablet in front of a hair dryer for a few seconds and it works fine .. Don't tell me i have to keep a hair dryer with me now ! haha

Try a soft reset. You'll have to open the tablet up to get to the button. I had to do this when my screen would not respond.

[A7 General] jazzbone:
After setting up my wife's A7 and using it for three weeks, I have decided to open mine up. I waited because I wanted to see if CES had anything I wanted more. I decided they didn't.

So, I am starting from scratch again.

The main issue I've had with my wife's A7 has been the lack of storage space for apps, especially the big games.

Bazbob seems to have a solution by partioning the microSD card and using Apps2sd.

I took a new Class 10 16GB microSD card.

I downloaded and burned Ubuntu onto a CD from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

Put the card in my laptop, restarted it into Ubuntu.

Ran gparted.

Shrunk the Fat32 partition to just under 8GB and added another partion as ext2 primary.

When I restarted my laptop, my sd reader in the laptop doesn't work. :confused:

When I put it into the A7, it says the SD card has Total Space of 7.73GB.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do next.

Help is appreciated!
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
You needed to make a second partition EXT2 and format it. You then need to mount the partition. I did this by using the install-recovery.sh that it located in /system/etc. I used the following tutorial and it worked. I got over 12gb of space to install apps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832799

I did try to mount the new partition to /storage which is also /sdcard and i was still not able to use titanium backup to move apps. The only way i have alot of space is use this method.

I'm also mounting the fat32 partition to location /storage so that when i download apps thats where they are stored until you install them. Also Titanium backup dumps the backups here. This is done with a custom mod of Dexters 1.0c mod.

I did not use adb, i used a app called quicksshd which allows you secure ftp into the tablet and make changes. I suggest using a windows programs called winscp and putty.
[A7 General] jazzbone:
Thanks for replying rfisher.

Turns out that my laptop lost the drive letter for the sd card. That's fixed now. When I insert the card into my laptop, it says that you need to format the card in the drive to use it. Any idea why?

I am confused by your instructions.

You said

I did that. First partition is FAT 32, and second partition is EXT2, primary.

Maybe I didn't format the partition? I just created it.

I'll install busybox and see how far I can get with it.

With the other A7, I was never able to work with ADB.

This device really makes me feel like an idiot.

Still can't believe I was the first to get Google Apps working on my wife's tablet!:o
[A7 General] jazzbone:
no adb

Well, the hours of frustration have returned...

I can't get adb running on my laptop.

I installed Android SDK.

When I type adb in the cmd window on my laptop, I get

"adb" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

I have tried moving the ADK folder to c:\

and

to:

C:\Users\Bucks HP

No luck.

I added the path c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

to the environment variables in my system properties.

My head is going to explode!:eek:
[A7 General] jazzbone:
Well, I got adb working, I think...

Problem was in the cmd window. I had to change the path.

Now, I can't install busybox. I followed the instructions from the wiki.

When I type "adb push busybox /data/local"

it returns: cannot stat 'busybox' : no such file or directory.

I pasted the busybox file in the

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

folder.

Was that the right place for it?

Is the busybox file just a text file?

Also, mine is named busybox-armv6l

Should it be renamed? I tried "adb push busybox-armv6l /data/local"

and got the same result...
[A7 General] jazzbone:
I gave up on installing busybox via the wiki instructions.

I installed Titanium Backup and installed busybox through it.

Now, when I type: cd /system

mkdir sd

I get :

mkdir failed for sd, read-only file system

What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks
[A7 General] jazzbone:
The saga continues...

With the busybox from Titanium Backup installed,

I needed to type:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system

exit

exit

Then, following the tutorial, I am up to step 12:

12) Now comes the tricky part: making Android mount your new partition at boot time. All the hard work would be useless if Android discarded the mount points every time we restarted our phones. To do this we’ll need to create 2 scripts and store then into /system/etc. Obviously the scripts should be started by init.rc and need to run as root. Fortunately Android’s init.rc have a gap that makes this possible. The scripts are named install-recovery.sh and init-sd2.sh.

My question is: How do you create scripts?
[A7 General] rfisher1968:
You would create them with notepad++ which is a windows program. Then using adb push them to the /system/etc directory.

I used a app called quicksshd and a windows program called winscp to copy the files to the directory. If you used my method you first need to make the /system directory rw before it will let you copy the files. It worked for me, the only thing i did differently is edit init.rc to mount the first partition of the sd card to /storage, but this was creating a modded 1.0c rom. So the result is about 4gb for my sd memory and 12gb for installing apps.
[A7 General] jazzbone:
Hi rfisher

Thanks for replying!

While waiting, I opened Notepad++, copied the text in the tutorial window into it and saved the file as Unix.

Then, I copied it to a USB drive, put it in the A7, and copied to the system/etc folder.

Is that acceptable?

Then, I followed steps 13-15.

I think I did something wrong. I am not seeing it in Root Explorer. What should I be looking for?

Was I supposed to install Apps2SD already?

I got winscp and quicksshd working. YEAH!

Used them to copy the files as you did.

Restarted A7.

Still don't see the other partition.

PS. I was just rereading your earlier post and you mentioned:

I did try to mount the new partition to /storage which is also /sdcard and i was still not able to use titanium backup to move apps. The only way i have alot of space is use this method.

I'm also mounting the fat32 partition to location /storage so that when i download apps thats where they are stored until you install them. Also Titanium backup dumps the backups here. This is done with a custom mod of Dexters 1.0c mod.

Looking on my A7, I don't see a location that is /storage

My tablet is fresh out of the box, without any firmware updates yet.
[General Questions and Answers] nitrous642:
Hello all,

Just got Oxygen RC6 installed on my Desire which comes pre-installed Zeam Launcher.

I got a couple of questions if anyone can help me,

1. Is there any way to uninstall Zeam Launcher and get the default back (if there is any default)?

2. Is there any way to change the dock icons? As I've seen in many snapshots of users in the forums, the apps icons on the dock bar (i.e. Messaging, Gmail and so on) are different. Are these customizable and if so how?

Thank you in advance.
[7 Mozart General] tony_wh:
I hope no-one minds but I got my Mozart yesterday and the only link that seems to talk about what is good and bad about it (here) hasn't had a new entry since November.

I also reckon that the Microsoft Developers know that xda-developers is the only place to go for sensible smartphone discussions ;) and hopefully they will read this and make some changes.

I wasn't convinced that the Mozart would be better than my HD2 but actually....

Good:

Great Screen Resolution

Fast

Internet Explorer is better than I expected and the Pinch to Zoom is great

I like the start screen and the way the 3G signal gets out of the way

Bad:

No Comm Manager - switching on WiFi, Bluetooth, Flight Mode is a real pain

No Internet Sharing - AARRRRGGGHH!

Can't find my WiFi with hidden ESSID - GGGRRRRR!

No MyPhone Sync

I'm not sure I'm keen on the lock-down on apps - it's probably the only thing that will force me to Open Source Android.

I used gyrator2 to switch the screen off when I turned the HD2 vertically down - it saved on battery.

Thank goodness MS don't seem to have made WP7 into a steppingstone to a proper OS (like vista was to Win7!). The way I'm using it, it's the almost finished.

I'm hoping that someone will come up with a Comm Manager App. But I don't know about the other stuff.

Has anyone else got anything to add? What would make WP7 work better for you?

PS Please move this if it's duplicated elsewhere.
[7 Mozart General] ldjh1985:
Thanks for the heads-up, just brought a Mozart today expecting delivery on Tuesday, I've come from the Android phones Galaxy S & X10 Mini, will be interesting to see how this shapes up against them.

:D
[7 Mozart General] js0937:
anoyances

i also bought one and generally i think they realy solved the job doing a MS based phone that works. (i moved from a diamond2 with os6.5)

but what realy makes me angry is that i read in the commcersials and specs that i could use mp3 for ringtones (wich phones cant today anyway). but even if being a trivial requerent i would not go with out it.

now i realize that i can use mp3 - BUT ONLY IF I BUY IT FROM ZUNE WTF!!!!!

are they trying out the apple business plan?

im aware that i can "jail break" (where did i last hear about this.. og iPhone/apple) .. but i risk brick´ing my phone and thats a bummer.

still realy nice phone.

a file handler would be nice though and some grouping functionality. the start screeen cannot collect all your messaging and mail in a single icon for access. you have to add evry single one of them in the shortcut list for ease of access.. thats anoying if you have 4 mail and text messaging like me.. grouping would rock..

another thing is "People" its a looker if you want to see contratct and facebook updates, byt anoying for phone contact list

and whats it with the contact list? you cannot sync with outlook only exchange serveres. otherwise you have to expose your full contact list on windows live or facebook to get it synced to your phone.

now i believe i should be paid for using my phone then.. they get to know me and all of my friends including phone info, full name, job detaisl address etc etc. thats something that valueable.. and i dont get to choose if i want to take part.. i want money Zune/HTC and Microsoft!

:-) im semi pleased .. nice phone but realy creapy business methods
[7 Mozart General] tony_wh:
A week later....an update

I can see what you're saying js0937.

I'm not really into changing the ringtone but I did notice that you couldn't do it. I can't believe that it has to come from Zune - it does make Android seem very attractive!

I've coped with the Outlook / Live syncing by having a separate account for my contacts but it is a bit long-winded.

I'm waiting for the update (due in Jan 2011 but when??? we're already two-thirds through!) to see whether these problems get solved.

Given that I worked with winphone 6.5 for so long, winphone7 is still much, much better but I still want Internet Sharing and a Comm Manager

Hoping the update sorts the voice dialing out as its rubbish compaired to 6.5. This is a big step back. Be nice to get more info of what the update will bring. Roll on the 7th, fingers crossed.
[7 Mozart General] degler:
My 2 cents

Ye, here you have the list:

MUSTS (otherwise I will NOT use the phone for my business):

- Network sharing

- People view by company OR search by company

- copy paste OR use selected text as signature

- outlook categories (seriously!) sort/show calendar, ppl, by category

- tasks list

WANTS (It would be nice to have it):

- activesync with desktop (mailny notes, and such)

- messaging hub (it is enough to group it together in one tile displaying summary of all unread messages, no matter from where they come. It can link to selection screen, where I can pick the mail/messaging account).

- connect tasks with SharePoint lists

- see Active Directory coleagues callendars (or at least simple meeting assistant that shows free/busy for attendees)

- Remote Desktop Connection (it is a pity that having that screen I cannot connect to my virtual desktop if needed)

I am business guy, and always used WinMo as a nice tool. Now... I have waited so long for WP7 and I cant use it for work. I gave it to my Woman, and now I am considering other OSes...

Microsoft, you are pissing on your most loyal customer segment!
[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
In November, I purchased several apps. In December, I had to replace my Windows Phone (Samsung Focus). When I synced my replacement device, three of my purchased apps failed to sync. These three apps are:

When I try to repurchase these three apps either from my Windows Phone, or from the Zune software on my laptop, I get a message stating “already purchased” and the “buy” button is un-selectable.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
from the phone, you should merely just be able to search for the app in market place, and redownload it. you shouldn't need to hit buy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
Thanks for your suggestion. I gave this a try. It was difficult because I cannot find a search engine when I go to marketplace on the phone (Samsung Focus). In order to find a specific app, the only way I know of to do this is to scroll through all apps.

I found two of the three apps in question. I found no option to re-download the apps. The only options were “update” or “share”. I clicked on update.

I got a status bar that indicated both downloading and installing, but the apps are not found in my list of applications, even after a soft reset. Now when I go back to the apps in marketplace on my phone, the only option for these apps is “share”.

I really don’t get this.

Thanks again,

Dave
