i change out the batteries when the other one is running low.

i think i'm rooted. i have superuser permissions

yes a bigger SD card is a good idea. dont the roms go on SD cards?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
It seems like something has gotten messed up along the way. I would go back completely to stock and start over. A problem like that sounds very weird.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
The size of an SD card should not matter. You download the ROM and flash it. After you flash it you can delete the ROM on your SD card.

Yes.... if nothing works just go back to stock and work up from there.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAMM0N:
alright i'll get workin on it thanks. does anyone recommend a rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I would honestly use virtuous first as it's closest to stock and should be the most stable. Try to use just the ROM as is for at least a few hours or day to see if the problems still are occurring. If they are... time to start from scratch.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAMM0N:
the only reason i think its suck the life out of my battery is all the constant updates. luckily i have 2 but then it takes like hours for the other one to charge. killing my battery faster than i can charge it -_-
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
That doesn't sound right ... I definitely recommend systempanel if flashing a new ROM doesn't work and after a ruu.

Hmmm, be polite.

Guys, at least try to act like you're not just trying to increase your post count.

For instance, post a link to where "hardcore's faq" is. Also, not everyone reads the forums every hour to know who the hell hardcore is or where his FAQ is. Also, unless it says |OP| next to your name don't worry about chiding all the n00bs. :)

Really? If your using Misc Tweaks then your using something from Hardcore, if your not using Hardcores kernel then the dev of the kernel you are using "usually" post this in their first post using Hardcores Speedmod patch, its not that hard to search for either ...the link is in hardcores thread in his first post, theres even a thread of it own about this, try searching startup speed tweaks....

Strange stuff for me:

If I enable this 'Misc battery weaks', auto brightness stops working, disabling it makes it work again.

In the thread mentioned it only says: 'Increase the write flush timeouts to save some battery life.'

It is even a little worse, for instance in Quick Settings app I cannot even change brightness manually (has no effect) if I have that tweak enabled.

Can anyone confirm this?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
Ok, so I have a rooted Samsung Captivate running Phoenix Rising 3.5

I just got interested in modding and such and decided to work on my own bootanimation- which is an amalgamation of a Droid BIOS animation I saw, and the Phoenix Rising animation.

I used Root Explorer and placed the bootanimation.zip into my system/media where my original bootanimation was located, but it isn't working.

I've attached my bootanimation.zip

Anyway, any help would be VERY much appreciated.

I love you guys.

**Update**

I replaced my file with the original, and now it's not playing an animation. Just like when it was my file.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] krips2003:
Rename the file in lowercase i.e. bootanimation.zip instead of Bootanimation.zip.

Let me know if that worked for you or not.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
Nope. No luck there.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
desc file is incorrect, replace with the one i attached

also make sure the zip compression is set to storage

you dont want any compression on the images
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
That worked to the point that it got my bootanimation to play, but it's all stretched out.

Should I change the resolution around in the desc?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
as far as i know for our phone the desc file needs the resolution set the way it is in the one i linked. doesnt hurt to try changing it though. i have never personally done that, i start with a larger base picture.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
I switched them. It looks better, but the image is cut off on the sides a bit. I'll get that figured out.

Is there a way to slow it down a bit? Like 50% speed. Do I just add more frames ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
in the desc file

480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

480 800 30 <--- resolution "480 800" framerate "30"

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

change the 30 to 15 to cut the speed in half.

480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
Thanks!

I don't have much experience with smart phones or linux, but I will say, it seems like the android community is ove if the most helpful communities around.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Image attacked is the one i work off of when i do mine.

If you center your current images on it and keep the resolution as is it will work. Just takes time to do the editing.

reuped yours with 15 fps instead of 30 and optimized the pngs. smaller size = quicker loads

p.s. http://benhollis.net/software/pnggauntlet/ nice free png optimizer with drag and drop
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
I really appreciate all of the help.

I changed the resolution to 480x214. That was the resolution used in the original Phoenix Rising animation. It looks good now. I might drop the frame rate even more than half. Might take it down to about a quarter or so.

So, I got the resolution, and the frame rate part of the desc file. What's the other stuff. I mean, obviously the last part is play this, then that, but is there more to it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Its nothing of much importance unless your trying to get the animation to act in a way that most dont

480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

480 800 15

p 1 0 part0 <--- refers to the part0 folder "1" is in the location that tells is how many times to play for instance if you set it to 0 the part1 folder would never play if you set it to 2 it would play the part0 folder twice then move to part1

p 0 0 part1 <--- same as part0 accept you would normally want this to play forever so its set to zero. if you changed the first zero to 1 it would play one time and then stop at the last frame... i believe.

im not like a bootani guru so take anything i say with a grain of salt
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
This actually comes in handy, because I might want the android logo to repeat before the phoenix comes on. Or maybe I'll switch them around or something.

Is there an upper/lower limit to the number of images per part?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
I dont believe so. But remember the larger the file is the longer it will take to load and the less smooth the playback will be.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
I finally got it to look how i want.

Thank you so much for all of your help.

I hope you'll be on the lookout for my future animations and whatever else I get into.

I really wanna make a prank one that starts out looking normal and then BLAM! Two girls one cup.

One more question before I go, do you have any idea what the second numbers do?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
there for inserting a pause like if you want it to loop 1 time then pause for 5 seconds before the next part plays

p 1 5 part0

p 0 0 part1

............ i think
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
I've tweaked and re-tweaked this thing a bunch. I finally got it near perfect.

Here's a gif:

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php...5434860c47d6eb18c5d23898117580d43c012a76g.jpg

I'll attach the file, too.

It's a little choppy, because I haven't optimized anything. Also, the gif is low-quality.

I'm beginning to become very proud of this, and intend to build on it a little more.

I thought about putting a red line across the top and bottom of the droid frames, just to add a little more color. I dunno.

Any other suggestions?

*******

I just optimized the files.

Wow, that really makes a big difference.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Haha yeah most editors tend to save very large files. The optimizing can have a pretty big impact the more frames you have.

As far as opinions it looks nice. Suggestions. Dunno change the green android to orange with a color change tool might look good.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
Might be cool if you could take the Android and have it appear after the lens flare...and I agree, changing the droid to orange might be nice.

Oh yeah...I love the first part of your boot. :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
Do you mean have the droid appear after the whole phoenix animation, or the droid instead of the phoenix?

I'm going to work on turning the droid orange in a second, I think I might go ahead and put some sort of accent colors around the edge or something, I'm not sure.

Also, I wish I could take credit for any of this, but the first part came from an animation I saw for a nexus, that was designed to look like BIOS. I'm not good at creating things yet, only manipulating.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
I was talking about when the lens flare engulfs the screen...instead of the phoenix rising logo, have it go directly to the android animation.

Oh...and I was talking about the phoenix part...and it's cuz I made it :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TLogsdon:
Well then thank you for the inspiration. It was when I saw the Phoenix Rising animation that I fully decided to try my hand at making my own.

I think I've done all I'm going to do to this one. I made the Droid orange, it now drops in from the top of the animation and sort of bounces before the letters appear. It's all pretty low-quality stuff (except for the 2nd half ;-D ), but I'm ecstatic about it.

I didn't do anything else to the Phoenix part.

I did manage to cut out like 18 frames because I got to messing around with the desc.txt and figured out how the pauses work and stuff. If I take out the movement of the Droid and just leave it how it was, only orange, it'll probably run really smooth.

Do you have any other tips for a n00b such as myself?

And a closing question, actually 2: In the desc file, what are the "p"s at the front of the part lines for?

Is there a way to make part0 and part1 play at different frame rates?

Also, both new animations are attached. The "orangebootanimation.zip" has the 18 extra frames with it. They're not hard to spot, if you're worried about it. If anybody wants, I'll fix it.

And I just want to thank you guys once again for all the help, inspiration, and suggestions. You guys are awesome.

Fring (Or Gingerbread's built-in SIP function) with Sipgate and Google Voice.

However, your school is probably blocking all SIP data, so no matter what you do, you're boned unless you can get a VPN working that's very fast, or want to go a bit more complicated and get an Airave and a WiFi bridge.

[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Sipgate instructions if you scroll down a little. I can confirm it works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887131&highlight=sipgate
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
1) Sign up for Sipagate ONE

2) Sign up for Google Voice

3) Add your Sipgate ONE number as a phone in Google Voice

4) Add your Sipgate SIP credentials as a SIP profile in Fring (or just in the Gingerbread settings)

5) Have Fring connect to Sipgate.

6) Have GV call your Sipgate number to confirm it.

7) Receive call. Confirm number.

8) Enjoy.

Using Fring for SIP does not require you to have Fring on the other party's device. SIP is an open standard, and Sipgate acts as gateway between POTS and SIP.

If you can't get it to work at home, it may be your home ISP, or your router, is blocking SIP.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
I've played with sipgate VOIP and sipdroid... It's tolerable over wifi, but completely sucks over 3g.

Over wifi, it sounded alot like talking through a tin can (imagine a 16kb mp3). I've used voip with a provider called callwithus (http://www.callwithus.com/), before on the pc over hotel wifi/dsl, and recall it sounded much better, almost as good as a landline call, definitely similar to a cell phone. I suspect sipgate is giving very low priority and bw to the freebie accounts, thus you're getting what you pay for.

Callwithus had relatively cheap rates, something along the lines of 1.9¢/min for domestic calls, so a $10 bucket would get you over 500 minutes. Just checked, us rates are .99¢ a min, so $10 gets you over 1010 minutes. Just another option to consider.
[EVO 4G General] LargePrime:
This is lack of processing. That same 3g connection tethered will work fine. I would think the EVO has the guts to do voip fine over 3g.

Can the EVO not do Voip over 3g at a good quality? Can people post feedback?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
DrM - have you tested the gb setup of sipgate + gv?? opinions? suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
I'm not entirely sure that it will work if tethered. I think it's more a latency issue than anything else give the number of networks the data has to traverse.

From speedtest.net speed tests here, I get ping times of 100-300 ms. That can't be too good for voip usage.
[EVO 4G General] LargePrime:
I use voip tethered. if the network is bogged, it has issues, but it works otherwise.

[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:

Does it work over data?

Haven't had a chance to test it in GB. In Sipgate+Sipdroid on Froyo, it's fine. Tolerable, but OK. I'll check out the GB setup tonight.

I've messed around with this alot.....the easiest thing I did found to set this up is SIPdroid. If you never used it, but have a google voice number, you can download the program to your phone, create a new account using your google voice account information, and it's all set up. I haven't tried this set up (because I did the old school sipgate-sipsorcery-pbxes set up). Either way, SIPdroid works well...

*shrug* Call quality via Sipgate is fairly good for me. Better than Sprint's actual voice quality, or the Gmail chat widget. Also, I have no intention of giving my Google account password to another service.
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:
my problem with the sipgate setup is the other party hears an echo of themselves. sipdroid has options for mic gain and speaker volume to help handle echo. pbxes has options for different audio codecs giving you better performance (less lag) over the data network.

this reminds me of using asterisk for the in-house setup

but I agree, both are better than sprint's voice network.

You have done remarkable things in the past for me and others. If you could, drop me a line at cipxyzb@yahoo.com. I have tried changing all kinds of settings. If I knew why the echo existed I might be able to find another way to stop it. Thanks for your time.
