[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KitF:
A handy command for testing (which should be done in ADB SHELL ONLY) is "start bootanim" and "stop bootanim". The reason I say adb shell only, is that you can't really stop the animation if you start it from within a terminal app on the nook.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] likearaptor:
When are you going to release the second boot animation? It looks so cool
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] camwinnn:
Wowwww those are both raw as hell, I should throw it on an take it into B&N get a screen protector so theyre real close. mistakenly hit anreboot before they get it :P "NookDevs, smashing your limitations"

Would you pre-release the CM7 one? I like that stary galaxy thing :P

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KitF:
Thanks, I may make it more generic later, but here's what I have so far of the CM7 one: http://defectiveimages.com/cyanoboot.zip

Just rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] camwinnn:
Thanks :D Especially if it may change later, like me some options.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Geniusdog254:
Anyone have the stock one, from before AutoNooter?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] likearaptor:
Just remove the boot animation zip file and it will display the original one.

I've swapped out my boot animations many times on my Samsung Vibrant... are these animations compatible with the nook?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] 911jason:
Kit, have you posted the CM7 one on the CyanogenMod forums? Who knows, maybe they'd use it. It's really nice, the only thing I don't care for is the text you used for the "POWERED BY"... but that's just personal preference.

Out of curiosity, what software do you use to create those?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] eyecrispy:
How come when I use the "start bootanim" command the animation is so laggy?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
if theyre re-sized sure

thats how i made the matrix one
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KitF:
I changed the powered by on it.

But I also made one with an eclair logo instead of Cyanogen one:

Here it is, just rename to bootanimation.zip and put it in /data/local/.

I create these in AfterEffects, by the way.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dhoshman:
Im pretty new to bootanimations, is there a way that I could enable this without using adb to push. Ive had so many problems installing adb that I just gave up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
if you're using rootexplorer, or similar app, you could go into /data/local and delete the bootanimation.zip, then paste the bootanimation.zip you want to use there, and reboot, it should work just the same

just make sure you rename the animation zip you want to use to bootanimation.zip
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dhoshman:
Thanks man its running and its awesome thats all I can say.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
added a Hal9000 bootanimation i made

and a link to a honeycomb bee bootanimation someone made to the OP

hal9000 also attached here
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sc37:
Worked well...was kinda confused for a second as there was no original bootanimation listed for me. Went ahead and pasted one in there anyways, worked out great. Definitely enjoy the Matrix look!

Heres mine:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] actorman46:
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm trying to make my first bootanimation. When I reboot it looks like its going to load, but the screen stays black. Any idea's?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] frysee:
How about posting your bootanimation.zip? Make sure you packed it using "uncompressed" as compression setting.

greetz
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] actorman46:
That may be the issue, I'm using these dumb free unzip programs to do it. I can't tell if it's compressing it or not. But here it is. It's nothing special, I just wanted to make sure I could do it before I spent lots of time on it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] frysee:
There you go, your file was compressed using the "deflate" preset but looks good apart from that. I've attached a properly packed version. If it still won't work check my thread, I've done a Nook bootanimation, too.

edit: forgot attachment... -.-

greetz
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] actorman46:
It worked great, thanks! What program do you use to complie the zip file? The one I was using didn't give me any options. Should I go out a get winzip?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] frysee:
Get 7Zip - it's free and supports all formats you'll ever need.

HELP.

Ok, not sure what's going on. I have my nook running CM 7.0.2 (using Internal memory)

Trying to change the bootanimation.

I downloaded Nook boot ver. 0.8 by KitF, copied it to /data/local

I did the following:

I moved bootanimation.zip to /data/local with root explorer

Then I did the following:

adb shell bootanimation

the bootanimation showed fine. Loved it.

Rebooted Nook, and all I get is a simple animated android logo

also there was a bootanimation.zip in /system/media that I renamed to bootanimation.old

So any ideas why the bootanimation will play using ADB but not on Boot?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KitF:
You gotta keep /system/media/bootanimation. Rename it back and it should run fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
ok, renamed that back to bootanimation.zip and now on reboot I just get the CM7 default bootanimation. Not the new one.

I did adb shell bootanimation again, and it still shows the new bootanimation.

Also tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with the new one and if I do that, all I get is a black screen.

Changed the one on my myTouch 4G so many times with out any problems.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
So I got the HC one of the BIOS bootup screen, and it is cropped because it is only playing in portrait. The images are the right size...

How do I rotate to make it play in landscape?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ceger:
- Extract the files to your local computer

- Switch the first two numbers in the txt file

- Rotate all images in the image folders

- create new bootanimation.zip with NO compression

Just did this with the Motorola Xoom boot animation.

Ceger
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Haha, I just got done doing that and was going to post on here how. Anywho, here's the zipped bios one I did. I also looped the android portion so I know the NC is still working behind the scenes.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
Ok, tried some more things

I formated /system /data /cache

Re-installed CM 7.0.2 and gapps

moved the first bootanimation.zip I downloaded and then tried the one ace7196 posted

both of them on reboot, I just get the default CM7 animiation

If I adb shell bootanimation, with either one, the animiation plays on the nook, just not on boot.

Any Ideas what to try next, if not, I will just forget it and leave it like it is.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Moved to where?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
sorry about that, tried then both in /data/local and /system/media
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] webyrd:
I am having the same problem with CM 7.0.2 internal, I looked at the bootanimation.zip from /system/media from the CM7 install - it looks like what is normally named part0 is called android in the CM7 bootanimation.zip and desc.txt and the XY dimensions are different. I tried renaming my part0 folder to android and in desc.txt but still had the same problem. Next thing is to try using the same XY dimensions that are shown in the CM7 file, it will probably be a few days before I can get to it if anyone else would like to try.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
same thing here. I even tried renaming the images the same as the ones in stock bootanimation.zip
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Keep the system/media one and leave that alone ( as in stock, and don't rename it/move it/etc).

Now MAKE SURE you have the corrent naming scheme. It MUST follow these rules.

Happy booting :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
Thats how I did it and the boot animation in the link is the one I wanted. Doing adb shell bootanimation, the animation plays fine, just not on boot.

Even did a full wipe and install of CM 7.0.2, still no luck, oh well, thanks for the help.

EDIT: I don't know why, did a restore of my OLD 7.0.2 with everything I had before, and did the adb push AGAIN and now it's working. So, So Strange.

Anyways, I'm happy. Hope it keeps working. Thanks again for everyone's help.

And thanks KitF for the great bootanimation.

After rooting 2.2.1/FRG83d w/ superoneclick how do make nandroid back up?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jgallas:
Noob here. I agree. I rooted with SuperOneClick and overclocking the SetCPU, now the next step is a Nandroid backup. Anything I've found is actually kinda old and does not relate to 2.2.1/FRG83D.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alnova1:
Well you can but its always best to do one before you install a different rom. Are you planning one installing a different rom?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boycef26:
nandroid back up

After looking and looking, I think rom manager has this built into it. They use clockworkmod recovery to do this, instead of sprecovery. The pro's out there can correct me if I'm wrong and I hope they do!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] poontab:
^Yes. Download rom manager from the market & flash Clockwork or spr. Boot into your new recovery & make a nandroid backup.

Hi There

I'm with WIND up in Canada, so this is a question for any and all members who are with WIND. I just ordered my Nexus S and would like to know what the APN settings are for the WIND network, so everything works fine when I receive the device and set it up?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Well, I was having issues with GPS in every JPY based rom.

I had great GPS in JI6, so I decided to make a CWM Update with all the JI6 GPS files.

But first I want to share what I found comparing a JI6 system dump, a JJ4 system dump and the files in the JM9 GPS Fix and the Vibrant JI2 GPS Fix.

I9000 JM9 GPS Fix

system\bin\gpsd\8c7fccef.0

system\bin\gpsd\66ca3eb6.0

system\bin\gpsd\803ca020.0

system\bin\gpsd\7651b327.0

system\bin\gpsd\c9dbfc2e.0

system\bin\gpsd\ddc328ff.0

system\bin\gpsd\ed62f4e3.0

system\bin\gpsd\f0b6e66f.0

The above files are identical in JI6, JJ4 and JM9

system\bin\gpsd\glgps_samsungJupiter => different in JJ4

=> equal in JM9 and JI6

Vibrant JI2

system\lib\libclientgps.so => doesn't exist in JI6 and JJ4

system\lib\libsecgps.so => equal in JI6 and JJ4

=> different in JI2

I suspect libclientgps.so is useless in our Captivates. I might be wrong about that.

Lastly we have

system\etc\gps.conf

I modified mine to an NTP Pool near my location:

NTP_SERVER=south-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

supl_host=supl.google.com

supl_port=7276

And added the two latest lines as suggested in some forums.

You might need to modify yours to another ntp pool near your location.

Well, I have done a CWM update, with all the JI6 GPS files. Flashed it, deleted GPS data, restarted the phone, and done a Position Test in LbsTestMode.

Here are my settings:

Session type : Tracking

Test mode : S/W Test

Operation mode : MS Based

Start mode : Hot Start

GPS Plus : On

Dynamic accuracy : On

Accuracy : 250

GPS logging : Off

Server SQDN Type : Custom

Server : supl.google.com

Server port : 7276

SUPL secure socket : Off

AGPS mode : Control plane

At first it found 10 sats. Then the list was reduced to 8 sats. It took around 3 minutes to get a lock with a 5 meters accuracy.

After that I tested the GPS with Ndrive and I got a lock in seconds.

I never could get a lock before flashing this. Maybe someone will find it usefull, so I'll attach the file.

I will test again tomorrow, while driving.
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Come on, 188 views, 14 downloads and no feedback?.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
That's because you started with wrong assumption: JI6 GPS 'works'. I've been on JI6 for many months now and the GPS is still crap. Please note:

1. Different Captivate behaves differently in GPS performance. One phone works while the other totally didn't work even on the same firmware and same settings.

2. Getting a satellite lock is far from solving the GPS issue on Captivate. I can get lock all day long but that doesn't mean it is useful GPS for me.

Please read Da_G's thread about GPS. He sums up the GPS issues in Captivate perfectly.

There is no guaranteed solution for our GPS yet (please refer to my #1 above).
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
You did't read the topic title right?. It says It fixed MY gps.

I tested it today driving and I got locks with 5 - 25 meters accuracy with good tracking.

I shared this hoping it can be usefull to someone else, as stated in the OP.

I didn't start with any wrong assumption, just did it because it worked for me before and wanted to share.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
You asked for feed back and I gave you one.

We have seen threads like yours many times now. It all ended up that whatever you posted works only for your own phone. How does that help anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't recall saying this will definitelly fix the gps for everyone.

I'm just sharing a solution that worked for me hoping it can help someone else.

That's all.

Flash Perception 10.1. The GPS is perfect!!!;)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
To each its own...the Perception GPS sucks for me as have been the case with pretty much all the fixes I have tried except for the Assonance GPS fix (a combination of 3 fixes) and the current Phoenix 2.0 was not too shabby.

Good job on the GPS stuff...glad you finally got it to work mate...I know it was driving you insane.

It must be pretty good as I see the new Phoenix build is using your fix too! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Thanks my friend, you're right, it was driving me insane ^^.

I'm happy Adam included my fix in the latest Phoenix.
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
So far my GPS is doing fine(most of the time). But it usually starts messing up after sometime. I am will to give it a try.

Either way like posted above it seems what works for one might not work for another. Could be a location thing.

But it is always good to have options. I too have been in a situation a time or two, three... that I could not get a lock or if I get a lock, even with 16 feet accuracy it still sucks when looking at the map. Just last night while driving on the highway it thought I was driving on the BestBuy shopping center. It cleared up after about 5 minutes. Today was nearly perfect. Go figure.

Thanks for letting us know what helped you out, it may help out someone else.

Edit: As I am a flash junkie I gave it a go. At my desk on the 4th floor of my 5 story building I picked up one satelite and sitting at my desk I am going 0 mph. With Da_G scripts in the same spot I picked up 2 satelites but was moving 2 mph sitting at my desk. Later I will test it out on the road.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You have 79 posts an already have your stuff featured on a ROM...I should be ashamed! :D

I will let you know if it works for me cause as you know from experience with our GPS system one guys miracle fix is another's zero lock!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
These files worked to my liking so I put them in my rom. Lets just support the work people put in here for us. I put a lot of work into the gps as well and had it going great when I did axura but when i switched firmwares my fix didn't work anymore. I didn't have the extra time to mess with it and keep developing my rom. Awesome job!!
[Captivate Android Development] Whipon:
Thank you. You're right sometimes a fix for some people doesn't work for other. Lets see if it works for you ^^.

Thanks a lot for your support, Adam ;).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candy[MAN]:
Seems like there are 2 baseband versions out on 2.1 for our X10's....version 2.0.46 and the newer 2.0.49.

What exactly does it control or do?

I have been playing around with certain flashes and I have been able to install the original 2.1 upgrade (.504) with the newest baseband.

Firmware Version 2.1-update1

Baseband Version: 2.0.49 (<--Originally was 2.0.46)

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Builld-Number: 2.0.A.0.504

Is there any advantage to this? I have read on other subforums here on XDA that the basebands control battery life as well as other stuff. Since some are saying that the newest X10 firmware (2.0.2.A.024) has better battery life, will the above configuration improve it over the original 2.1 firmware?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candy[MAN]:
BTW.....running original 2.1 firmware with the updated baseband, I am still able to root using the traditional methods (superclick and zroot).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleached45:
Hey, how were you able to do this? did you just flash the .sin files without installing the update.zip? (I'm guessing you used zdzihu's update method)

I tried updating the rom and I had some issues getting the system to mount as r/w and then the xrecovery menu would stop working, are you having these issues?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candy[MAN]:
That would work too. What I did was take the system.sin file from the X10a .504 upgrade (original 2.1 firmware) and used all other .sin files from the newer X10a 2.1 update. Used x10 flasher to flash my phone and got the above combo.

Baseband

Now Baseband 2.1.54 is official via SE Update Service - people are grabbing it for Multitouch, I suggest heading back a few steps and looking at how it works on the thread of Root access obtained by Bin4ry.

The Baseband has to match the build and that's about it. There have been lot's of cases of people getting them mixed up by not doing full system restores, which unless you do this, leaves the Baseband in place and flashes newer build files over the top and they conflict. - match - not ;) - Got me yesterday with TripNRaveRS Gingerbread 2.3.1 v1.1 (now obsoleted to 1.3) and allowing the 2.1.A.0.435 to be flashed by SE Update when things got screwy and I needed to Flash back - out... there was no way of doing this so what happened was I became stuck without any Baseband matching 24 rom / the 2.3.1 Gingerbread rom.. in fact - it basicly forced me to eventually do a full restore just to get away from the 2.1.54 Baseband as it isn't compatible with 90% of anything made to date - lol -:p

[Galaxy Tab General] johnnylq:
Generally, you can enable USB Debugging by selecting

Settings option -> Applications -> Development -> Check the box for USB Debugging to turn it on

But sometimes, the checkbox for 'USB Debugging' is unchecked and greyed (in my case). That's because the tab is currently using another USB setting scheme which disabled the USB Debugging.

There are 4 setting scheme under Setting option->Wireless and Network->USB setting:

Samsung Kies

Media Player

Mass Storage

Ask on connection

Normally the "Samsung Kies" is selected. Change it to "Ask on connection" and go back to Setting->Applications->Development->USB Debugging, you will find it is enabled and can be checked.
[Galaxy Tab General] Zeron.Wong:
You're right. The pre-configured USB connection mode will override some detailed options.
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
I find this a pain to drill thru the menus to switch this on an off when needed. Has anyone found a widget that can control this from the home screen. I've looked and yet to find one. Since I have an AT&T SGT I have to frequently turn USB debugging on when using the Sideloading Wonder Machine app as AT&T locked out the option for sideloading apps normally. Again, it's a pain to drill thru the menus.
[Galaxy Tab General] BuglessFan:
If you use ADW Ex (may work with ADW or another launcher that provides "Activity" or intent based shortcuts), you can create an icon that will take you directly to the page with Application options. To get to it in ADW Ex, choose add "Custom Shortcut", tap "Pick your activity", click "Activities", scroll down to "Settings", tap to expand, tap "Development(.DevelopmentSettings)" and that will directly bring up the page with the USB Debugging checkbox. I'm not sure if that particular activity was in ADW's list, but I know for certain it's in ADW Ex, as I have such an icon on one of my screens.

You're awesome! Works in a P1010 (wifi only) Tab as well, same options. Thanks!
