Alternate method to flash Boot Animation without PC

There is an alternate method to change the Boot Animation for HTC Desire without computer section for abd push.

1. Download Boot Animation Changer Lite, it needs Root.

2. Launch and Choose Change Animation

3. Select any Animation from the list and Install it

4. It'll backup the Stock animation in sdcard\bootanimStock folder as bootanimation.zip

5. Using any File Manager - Astro or Root replace the bootanimation.zip with the desired boot animation file (make sure you name the file as bootanimation.zip)

6. Relaunch the application

7. Choose Advance Settings

8. Select Restore Stock animation and reboot

9. You'd see your desired Boot Animation running

Cheers!!!

hey..from where i can download oxigen rc 7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
Hello.

Few years ago, there were hundreds of different OS for mobile phones, everyone with its pros and cons.

But with these phones, we only could send/recieve calls and sms, take photos and crappy videos and store some music.

every phone had its own file extensions and file compatibilities, only java was able to unify some programms.

The browser were also unusable, despite the small screens, and high costs of internet, there was no compatibility with activex and some frameworks.

I can remember, I had a Samsung sghP910 with 320x240 screen and Nvidia chipset, enough to do many things, but completely disabled by the bad Samsung OS.

Later there was the unification of mobile phones with PDA with Windows Mobile.

I think this was the biggest step in history for mobile phones.

I bought the HTC Touch 3G WM6.1, and I could virtually do anything I could do on my computer. Download programs, remotely connect with my office PC, and surf the internet without any compatibility issues.

for any problem or need, ther was a program on the internet to download!

The only big issue, was the small resolution display 320x240, that complicated my life a little bit.

Now i was searching for something newer, that could totally replace my netbook, I was thinking about some HTC with this brand new WP7 but today I tried out the new HTC trophy of my girlfriend, and was really disappointed!!!!

I mean, very high resolution that could finally activate some remote desktop function, fast processor and relative lightweight.

I saw that junk OS of Iphone, made for rich and useless people, the nokia junk Symbian that I'm actually using for work, and that new IPhone-like Android, that is here today, but maybe not tomorrow.

Blackberry is another useless junk, my sister got it.

I'm searching for some desktop remplacement handheld, but the new WP7 is back to this kind of Multimedia useless stuff, no SD support for upgrade, and this whole windows, that only makes you take more time to find the right application (like the start in WM6.5)

I saw that instead to make a step forward, Microsoft mad a big big step backward!!!!

I'm asking myself why, because handheld should be every-time more like Desktops, but like this, you're bound to stupid aplications, and you have to pay for it.

No file-manager, no desktop, no start button and no task manager, nothing!!

Someone can tell me if there is a possibility that with some tweaks, it would be posible to go back to real Windows Mobile???
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
If you want all that, buy yourself a HD2 and run WM or Android. Has RDP, file-managers galore, task managers, useless SD support and those all important crashes and slow-downs all the time.

While I agree, the lack of RDP on WP7 is disheartening, judging from the number of quasi-remote-desktop apps available there is actually a real want for this. So I have no doubt it will become available sooner rather than later.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Yes it would be possble, go to your nearest provider and purchase a 6.5 enabled device.

A mobile OS should absolutely not evolve to look and act like a desktop OS. That's what windows mobile was. And it was awful. A mobile OS should be really what wp7 and iOS is; quick, easy to use, and accelerate what you're doing, not hinder it.

Yeah see this is exactly the reason I switched to wp7. I was so sick of tweaking and managing. and tweaking. The endless tweaking and managing. My mobile device should not give me a headache whenever I use it and watch it lumber through its operations. Wp7 has no task manger to keep an eye on, no tweaks needed, no file manager to navigate (what do you need one for... seriously), and it's awesome. Seemless and quick. And what's the purpose of the start button? Why do you want one? What do you want it to navigate you to?

I'm really having a hard time understanding why so many people don't research what wp7 is before getting it. It is not windows mobile. Those days are gone. A mobile OS should be what iOS and wp7 is, quick and painless. Let me do whatever I want without having to worry about an app now running in the background or what my memory is at.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Why not just get an HD2 or similar that is designed to run "real" Windows Mobile and not buy an OS that obviously does not suit your needs?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I ave had several wm phones and was a fan, however, windows mobile as it was nearly finished off microsoft in the mobile Market, wp7 may save them
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Right now there is nothing more to do for me than wait for an upgrade and see how MS will act. WP7 is a great foundation.

But yes, smartphones - opposed to dumphones - should replicate most of PC abilities.

They should not act like racing horse with 3 legs - and this is what WP7 is right now.

I am able to compromise my needs to wait now. I can't wait however for very long, year is too much, to get features instead of their basic forms like maps, word etc.

So for me, if MS will not make it soon and accelerate development, bring the features an make it capable, I am off to Android.

But now I wait, I want to see MS cards open.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Which features are you after exactly?
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
I think you get me wrong. I mean, its very good that everything is getting "easier", more beautiful and so on, but normally they should add tools, without quitting the old good ones.

with my touch 3g, 6.1 i have to use the pen to go through the menus, its complicated, but i know where to find my applications, and configurations, like windows.

But the worst thing, i heard that's a whole new OS and no longer compatible with cab files.

that means, if i want some new programs, maybe i've got to pay for them, and the old ones are lost.

am I right???
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yes. WP7 is made "from scratch" so no, no .cab files.

Everything has to be purchased from Marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Which? Well: marketplace support for all users, bing maps supporting all countries at least in Europe, PC Usb transfer of all documents, multitasking, video send by email, word at least on the level of docs to go featurewise, greater openeness for developers, and some other stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
aha...

And you like this new feature?

Instead of downloading third-party freeware???

what does it means made from scratch?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
To be honest the app distribution is not a problem for me right now.

From scratch = from the beginning. Not based on WM6.5.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
hmmm maybe i'll wait until they'll put Intel Atom instead of Arm, and run normal Window 7, because even if I buy somenthing like HD2, it will be sooner or later discontinued damn
[Windows Phone 7 General] feeltch:
WP7 is super system, till you use it as M$ engineers thought you would be.

I mean there's plenty things missing. Many people will say, who needs tethering, for example. And those many will be satisfied with other advantages of WP7. But me, who need tethering all the time, I'm stuck. I'm really keen on WP7, it's speed, live sync, zune sync,... but who will tell me when tethering will be possible. I didn't even consider such phone systen doesn't have tethering.

Now I spent whole week hacking the HD7 phone with Chevron unlocker and DFRouter xap. As I'm reading the thread about tethering I must be lucky that I didn't mess it all up cause some can't connect to zune after that.

So, as sbdy said, if you use your phone for most phone obvious things, than WP7 is really great. But if you need a bit more, than you're stuck. So I'm probably selling my HD7 and waiting for Nokia MeeGo device. There I think I can expect more as computer device and a bunch of things WP7 doesn't have: tethering(USB and WiFi), FM transmitter, open platform, video calling. That is what I can think of what matters to me.
[General Questions and Answers] FLAC Vest:
Im currently running a 2.2 rom on my ATT Samsung Captivate. I love thr phone; fast, amazing sreen, and very slim and sturdy. However I can upgrade whe/er I would like and im definitely shooting for the Motorola Atrix.

Should I just get that when it comes out? Docking to the laptop will be a huge plus f999me since im in college, but the specs on the phone itself are awesome in their own right.

So two questions? When is Mobile World Conference (im pretty sire new phones are going to be announced there) and are there any other high end rumored phones worth waiting on?
[Wildfire General] Jakku:
Hi,

I know I'm new but hear me out

I own an HTC Wildfire and I'm trying to root it so I can update to either Froyo or Gingerbread, but the problem is I'm unable to use the Unrevoked method because my volume buttons are broken and they are required to make selections on the boot loader screen. Could someone tell me if there is any way in which I can root my phone and load a custom ROM onto it without needing the volume buttons to work? I can't seem to be able to fix them so I have no other alternative

Many thanks in advance!

Jack.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I am really not aware of any alternative. The Volume and the Power Key is required on the HBOOT Menu, because, apart from these 2 keys, no other keystroke is recognized on that menu.
[Wildfire General] nlovers2000:
Try trackpad and power.
[Wildfire General] MasterDL:
Hmm.. wildfire hasn't been out for too long maybe you're under warranty and can get it fixed.

I think when I rooted my wildfire all I need was the Android driver and do the volume and power then connected to the pc to get the usb recovery and unrevoked did the rest.

Edit: have tried the trackpad and power and it does work taking you to fastboot and bootloader is available from there. So you're saved. Credit to previous post ^.
[Wildfire General] Jakku:
My problem isn't that I can't get onto the bootloader menu, it automatically loads when I plug it in with unrevoked. My problem is that I can't select recovery when the bootloader menu actually loads because I'm unable to use the volume keys in order to scroll down to it. So unless I'm missing something that you've told me, that doesn't solve my problem :\

EDIT: Okay, my phone is rooted now, the problem now is that I cannot select recovery in order to flash a custom ROM because I cannot scroll down to it. Any advice?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Get ROM Manager and use it's "Restart in Recovery" Feature?
[Wildfire General] nlovers2000:
You dont need the volume buttons in the recovery.you can use the track pad in the recovery. But the volume keys are needed in the hboot menu to select recovery l. I think there is no alternative. If your phone is still under warranty I recommend you flash a ruu. And give it for repair. Dont forget to tell them not to update your phone to froyo. I think you know the reason ;)
[Wildfire General] Jakku:
I got ROM manager and I'm now running Cyanogen 6.1.0, I'm just having problems with the market app now. I've installed Gapps and whenever I open the market it just closes straight away. I'll try and fix it myself but if anyone can offer help than that'd be cool!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Check Sympnotic's Patched Market Thread, Try Removing the Market using the Market Remover and install again.

On my Archos 101 both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons do not appear on the Apps page. They are there. If I search they come up and can be launched. If I uninstall they show up until I switch of my 101 and switch on again - then they are gone again.

Any thoughts?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Need more information. What firmware are you running? Are you using any kind of root hack? What about your UI, are you using the stock one or something like Zeam?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete917:
Ah, sorry. Im running the latest firmware from Archos. OEM loader and no root hack. I did have zeam but uninstalled it.

here's a complete list of the apps Im running at the moment

My Apps List
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Well, off the top of my head, I would guess that you have them installed on your SD card. If this is the case, it might appear like they are not showing up and you have to give it a minute to do a media scan and update your system. Also, if you haven't done it this way, install them from the AppsLib market instead of AppBrain or the regular market. Although I doubt there is any difference, who knows...

I mean you are not running anything too crazy that might be a source of issue, so I can only think of the way the system caches info as being a culprit.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete917:
Thanks. I don't have an external SD card at the moment as my device is shiney new so I havent used up internal yet.

I'll give your suggestion a try. I was wondering if it could be related to AppBrain. Here's my thought. When I go to the regular market and click my apps there are no updates showing. When I sync with AppBrain it shows a few things need updating. Can AppBrain and the Market conflict.

Its weird all round
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3sidu3:
hmmm

Yeah exactly the same thing happened to me just now before I even hit xda I thought it was a mistake then I saw this post... Glitchy new firmware could be related to the icons disappearing from the original 2.0.71 firmware bug possibly hmm yupper definetly a glitch Angry Birds disappered again, so lets drop some stats I have firmware 2.1.03 with Archangel installed. Hardware Archos 70H also did a reinstall after I bumped it to 2.1.02 but not after I upgraded to 2.1.03
[Adam General] Pikabob:
I received this email at 10:32pm PST on the 29th:

Then at 5:14am January 30th:

Did this happen to anyone else? If not, what does it mean?

Also I was originally supposed to have it shipped on jan 9th then 15th-22nd, and then 29th, then feb 14th
[Adam General] anatole78:
The same happened to me and I'm really pissed off! I'm wondering if I should send an email to cancel my order...
[Adam General] gbishop18:
I got a shopping confirmation from tnt saying mine has been picked up in Japan
[Adam General] Pikabob:
did you get the delay email too?
[Adam General] gbishop18:
No, no delay email. Got my confirmation from tnt shipping
[Adam General] Pikabob:
Hmmmm...... any ideas as to what is up with mine?
[Adam General] gbishop18:
I would email them
[Adam General] Pikabob:
I did, they never respond though.

Did the same thing that happened to me happen to anyone else?
[Adam General] gbishop18:
From what I heard it did. If you read on notion addicts many people got no email what so ever. Did you check your order status on notion inks web site?
[Adam General] mcmahos1:
i didn't recieve an email but i told my gf to contact them and make sure it was still shipping since it was the 29th and that was when it was supposed to ship

they responded with the email about touch screens breaking and the ****ing new year bs....like this is so not good business

now we are delayed again till probably the end of february
[Adam General] Pikabob:
yeah, it says the 14th, but that first email I got seems a little weird
[Adam General] johnboatcat:
Yes we got the email and yes this is the fourth delay.

And yes it is not pretty. And yes as good Walmart shoppers we are used to having it our way and right now, but no this time we are not going to get it our way. And no we are not going to cancel because we want this nice piece of hardware. And yes by the time we git it they will have a lot of the bugs worked out. And yes they should have rejected the whole batch of screens and postponed the shipment. And no you are not going to feel better about it tomorrow. And yes we trust that this company will do the best they can. And yes we can cancel our order. And yes most of us are not going to do that. And yes we will keep making a lot of noise about it, because yes that is what we do! So the answer is.............
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
I only got the second email. Delayed again. 9th > 15th > 29th > 14th....

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GarJones27:
After some time lurking through the Galaxy Tab Forums I saw that some of the Notion Ink apps were ported to the GTab then tested and worked on the Galaxy Tab. I figured I would download the other apps and give them a try on our beloved NOOKcolor.

The first app I tested was the Mail'd App and viola, it worked. I set up my GMail account and it's been running great.

I tried the Calendar and Calculator apps with no luck; I get a parsing error notification. Additionally I was hoping that the QuickOffice HD would install but that didn't work either.

Members in the Galaxy Tab forum noted that the browser worked but need to make a few changes in /system -- see below [thanks Boushh]

I have not yet tested the Browser, Sniffer, Keyboard, or Canvas applications. Please do so at your own risk. I will attach the files.

All credit goes to Gojimi for porting these to the Viewsonic GTab and Boushh in the Galaxy Tab forums for making the email .apk. All I did was test them out.

Good Luck and please report back with any feedback on apps that work/workarounds to get them working.

Email works great, looks awesome! Truly love apps designed for tablets.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GarJones27:
Some of them are but the Mail'd app works on Eclair.

I'm getting a similar issue when trying to use a non-Gmail account. I'll see if I can sync any other accounts and see what happens.

it seems like when i try to use the back button via softkeys, the mail app crashes. anyone else have this problem?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GarJones27:
I use Button Savior and though it doesn't crash, the back button is unresponsive.

UPDATE: I was able to install Quick Office HD. You must uninstall Quick Office (Barnes & Noble Version) via Titanium Backup then go ahead and install the Notion Ink Quick Office HD and you should be good to go. It works very nice too, optimized for tablets like the Mail'd app.

Only issue I see so far is you lose the status bar so you lose the menu button, and button savior does not work.

Oh, that and Notion appears to think you spell syncing like this..."synching".
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wy1d:
sadly it looks like mail'd is based off the k9 framework and uses webdav instead of ActiveSync for exchange. This means no push email for anything other than IMAP idle. Too bad. I was excited for a second there...
