Shoot... sorry I forgot to upload it. I'll grab the file when I get home and upload. I always forget that part it seems.

EDIT:: Here's the link to the file.

Realistically, you should keep the images as .png files. I know JPG's will work, but there's a reason Google/the Mobile carriers decided on using .png instead. Also, you might not know; but the .png file replaces/replaced the .gif file format; which was made for native animation. It's only natural to use a .png file because of this very reason. In regards to speed and size; you probably won't be able to see significant change, but then again -- I haven't tested it.

Also, yes; one of the ways to make a smoother animation is to decrease size of the image itself; though one draw back is that the animation will not fill the entire screen. Quite frankly, the animation really doesn't need to. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
Adding to what pseudoremora said:

You could actually reduce the image sizes but diplay it full screen while on the phone. Example: original size 360 x 600 but desc.txt would make it show in 480 x 800.

Basically stretching images in proportion, should still keep the resolution comparatively good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Ok, and yes anything helps as I wish to learn, I will look at your file when I get home and try all your suggestions. Thanks again for your help and time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punee:
so.... did you guys figure this out?? Ive been trying to find a Despicable Me Minion animation for my girlfriend since I dont have the knowledge nor time to go into learning how to create one from scratch..

would love to you the final product ;')
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
try the link pseudoremora posted above that was one that i was working on and pseudo looked it over and tweaked it up and somewhere i have minions splash screens(if you want one i can find them)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punee:
i already tried his link, and i think i tried to DL all the other links in this thread but I cant seem to make any use of them as a final product I could use to replace my bootanimation. did u eventually get it all to work on your phone?

it'd be cool and very much appreciated if u could toss your final zip my way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Do you know where your bootanimation is there are 2 places that may be the problem, I will download the link later and see if the link is broken and retest on my evo

edit: pseudos link is no good anymore...

try this one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/Minions_Bootanimation.zip

let me know if this one dl's fine(having a little dropbox trouble lately) and if you like it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelbydz:
I was trying to use odin to get back to a stock rom (UVJFD). Phone was in download, odin was running. Odin suddenly said "not connected" and nothing was listed where com is usually displayed. I unplugged my phone and it immediately displayed a phone, exclamation, computer.

I tried the three button reboot, but it immediately went back to this screen. I've tried all of the options in the 'So you've bricked your phone' stickey, except the soldering method and I can't get it to do ANYTHING.

What do I do? I'm trying to get back to factory. At this point, I may need to send it in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyvaporizer:
Just do what you would normally do to get back to download mode. I can't specifically remember the buttons but just jeep trying until it shows up on odin.

Actually I read somewhere that the phone "!" Cpu means that it will already work with odin so I guess try that. Im not certain that it will work immediately. If that doesn't work then do what I said first lol. Don't worry its not bricked this happened to me the day I got my phone hahaha
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark619Cloud:
Phone....!.....PC is just like download mode. I was able to recover from it, when it happened to mine. Maybe the JFD you had was faulty?

But ODIN should recognize your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihugo:
Completely bricked?

Does that imply that you saw some sort of life in the screen such as any light on the display? If that is the case it is probably worth trying the 301k Resistor method to get to the download screen.

On the other hand if your phone is exactly in the same shape as my phone is then I really feel for you. My screen never shows any life. It appears like the battery is dead and I've tried everything and I know the battery is fully charged.

So my next step is either finding someone with a jtag interface or send it off for repair.

Anyone have suggestions in that next step? Any weekend warriors with a jtag interface where we can send it? Any suggestions as to where to send it (t-mobile is not an option since I'm not using t-mobile)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelbydz:
It keeps rebooting to the icon screen (phone ! computer). I tried plugging it back in, but odin didn't see it.

I'll have to play around with it a bit more to see if I can get it to work.

thx
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark619Cloud:
Odin should recognize it, try using a different ODIN. Make sure ODIN is running first, with the proper files already loaded "PDA, MODEM, CSC" then plug in phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelbydz:
that seemed to work. (loading the files to odin, then connecting) Apparently I had a bad ROM image. It's booting up now.

Thanks for all of the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Hello all,

I just wanted to share this with you. I found this across my boring travels across the interwebs, and again sharing because I know a lot of people [particularly sense rom users] wanted a first look. Below is a download link for a ported rom of the Desire HD for the Evo. I do not take any credit in developing this rom, only merely making it more accessible to everyone. Enjoy. :)

http://www.multiupload.com/R1PKI7T72M
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokeemonn:
details???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, basically it IS HTC sense, end of story, though they have basically incorporated a lot of new features. Some of which I have seen are

-being able to check multiple email accounts in one app

-a "self destruct feature" which erases all data on the phone [like if you were to lose it]

-GPS and Maps auto rotate to configure to the physical direction the user is facing

-Navigation gives you a preview of the route ahead [while at a red light]

-Included themes and skins

-Included battery saving commands [some of which we see in custom roms now], shutting off wifi if batt < x %, ect

-Also, a feature that syncs your app data, and would re-sync it to a new phone

-Sort of an online data base [htcsense.com i believe] where it'll save your data [user configured] and you can have access to it where ever

and some more goodies...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
How is this any different than the Desire HD and Z ports that we already have?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Honestly, it may not be any different, but I heard of a slightly newer build. Did a search and didn't find any related threads [xda has been buggy for me as of late.] But if its a repeat, then my bad, honestly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I wasn't knocking you for posting it, it was an honest question. I didn't know if there was a difference between the ports we have or this one, I got kind of excited for a sec thinking it was something new :) Either way, thanks for posting it!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctabones:
Wtf...everytime i try to open my web browser or my messages, it force closes. im running a cyanogenmod 6 with invisiblek kernel. i had these mods for a month already and it just started happening....anyone have any idea what the hell is going on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanthemanofchicago:
This happened with me too. I am running CM6.1 Stable, and when I applied invisiblek's kernel I needed to wipe userdata to make that stop. But you didn't specify what CM6, so if you are running anything older than CM6.1 RC2, upgrade to CM6.1 Stable, reapply kernel, and wipe userdata.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Actually, you could probably get away with wiping cache and dalvik-cache, then re-flash the kernel. This would allow you to keep your contacts, apps, etc.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nonson:
hi guys.

this is my first time writing here so...ummm... hi :)

i'm trying to install clockwork mod but i dont want to delete my current rom

(

settings

, apps, downloads)

right now i have cdj cyanogen gingerbread NAND rom on my HD2

and i have MGLDR 1.13

is there a way to install clockworks without deleting

anything

?

i tried to search for an answer here in the forums and in google but found nothing

please help :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Nope no way of installing cwm without wiping system. You can however backup apps and such that you need with titanium backup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
Hi one solution is to back up in clockwork and then copy the backup on SD card and computer. Once reflashed the cwm and you can then restore the whole Rom thru advance backup restore menu in cwm
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
How can he backup in cwm when he doesn't have it?

+1 for titanium
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
If you have a spare SD card you can just use that for CWR and if you want to go back to your previous NAND ROM just flash it again, then reboot with your old SD card in your phone that you used when you where using the .daf NAND ROM. That's assuming you're using Data2SD though. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abmantis:
Try Titanium Backup... It works pretty well and you can batch-backup all your apps and data...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nonson:
is there a way to install zip files (rom mods) other then clockwork ?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] JFMFT:
Considering the Incredible's Car Mount wasn't great... any ideas on good car mounts for the Thunderbolt? I figure there should be plenty of options out there because it has the same form factor/size as the Desire HD and Evo.

I'm looking for something easy... maybe two magnets, attach one to the back piece of a two-piece case and use it to attach it to a magnet stuck onto your car's dashboard? Anyone have a setup like this currently?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rotorocker:
I'd love for some kind of car mount that would allow shooting of video while driving. either a suction cup to the windshield with a hole (or self dremel job hole like people did for the D1) or something that can attach to the rear view mirror.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheZuneLune:
I loved my OG Droid car mount, which broke recently. I used a Dremel tool to cut a hole for the camera and it worked great. I hope the car mount can move as freely as the Droid mount did. Really hoping for a desktop dock, too.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 760hacker:
Looks like there Will be some type of mount according to the screenshot seen about the incredible HD in Verizons system. There is a part number for the tbolt that ends in mount....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rotorocker:
That is what I will do if nothing else materializes. I just hope it doesn't stutter with bumps from my wrx :p
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheZuneLune:
Purchased car mount

I picked up my Thunderbolt as well as a car mount today I was pleasantly surprised that the car mount does not cover the camera and that it has a place to plug in your car charger. It seems well constructed.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] macewank:
does your phone sit in the dock properly? the micro-usb end of mine seems "higher" than the other end. kind of weird
[Thunderbolt Accessories] buffalowolff:
Mine sits a little high on the USB end..... I really wish there was a way to get back into the car home mode though after you exit it..... right now I've been having to undock and re-dock to re-launch car home.... really anoying.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Nvious1:
Was the car mount an HTC product or a generic one that would work? Can you tell me the cost? I just picked up the TBolt but my store didn't have anything so just wondering what my options are.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] JFMFT:
Car mount is made by HTC and is $29.99 retail at any Verizon store or online at vzw.com
[Thunderbolt Accessories] craigsdocks:
Any idea how it knows its in the dock?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Zerotwistknife7:
If motorola didn't happen to patent their magnet method that they used on their droid models, I would assume it would be a similar, if not the same method...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] destroyerbmx:
I think the magnet is standard, my htc eris, and fascinate worked by magnents
[Thunderbolt Accessories] kierandill:
A general observation, here - if you want a bodaciously well built mount, look at Ram-mount . I have one in my Civic with two heads I can swap - 1 for iPad, one universal cell/pda.

Not cheap, in construction OR price...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jdposhkus:
Proclipusa.com...

I like and will keep the HTC Car dock. It suits my needs and is car to car transferrable.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] craigsdocks:
Yeah I thought the Motorola's were the only ones that used this or had anyway of knowing they was docked.

I had no idea the Eris or Fascinate had magnetic switches or any way of knowing they were docked automatically.

I know the HTC Incredible has no magnetic switching or anyway of knowing its docked, basically there isn't an automatic dock mode on the Incredible at all.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheZuneLune:
No,, it seemed to dock fine. Make sure you snap it behind the top overlap piece. I was very pleased that it did not cover the camera and the it has the usb mount. Charging the OG Droid while in the dock was a real pain. I shot some video with it docked this AM and it performed fine. The road was not real smooth so it picked up the bumps, but it beats me trying to hold it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tonyagee:
I can second and third the HTC dock is awesome. I'm coming from an original, then v2 droid dock.

There are a couple of things though.

1. You really have to jam the phone on the right side(by the usb) in the dock to get car dock to come up. Its super tight. You'll actually hear a click once you get it in far enough.

2. You can't get back into car mode if you exit out without redocking.

3. You can't dock the phone if you have any cases and such.

4. I can't seem to change any of the icon choices they give you. I'd much prefer a more "stock" car/home experience. There are a couple other minor annoyances I have with the "dock" program they use in general but it does work well.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] palomosan:
Verizon has a car mount just like the OG Droid, it automatically turns the phone into a navigation, it only cost 30, I saw it yesterday, it has the magnets.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] coolsilver:
I might like a car dock if it fit my phone with the innocase on it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bscythe:
The problem with the Verizon car dock is that it does not work with any cases. It looks so tight that I am not even sure a full body Invisishield would work.

My buddies Droid X dock had a removable plate that could be removed if you wanted to use a case with your phone and still dock it.

I think I am going to take my car dock back to Verizon and wait for one that allows for cases. Too bad, otherwise it seems like a decent dock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ekinnee:
I too have this dock and agree with what you posted. The only issue that I'd add to the list is that it takes two hands to get the phone out and then half the time the head comes off the arm. Hopefully it will loosen up a bit with use. I wish they had a little thumb slot like the Droid X dock had, just slip you r thumb in there and push up and it came right out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Zerotwistknife7:
it wont work with cases? damn...

I havent even seen it yet, the store i got my tbolt at didnt have any in stock
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
This is what I bought.

http://www.amazon.com/SoundGate-M2-engineered-Blackberry-portable/dp/B001Q3M0NU

It works great. You have retighten the set screws to hold it steady about every 6 months, but other than that I have used it for about a year now. I originally bought it for my TP2 then used it with my D2. It's not phone specific you just attach the mounting bracket which adds about 2-3 MM disk to the back of the phone. It can be taken off pretty easily.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
The VZW one I bought was made by iGrip, not HTC. It's kinda crappy, but it's what they had at the Verizon store.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] JFMFT:
Did you buy from a corporate store or a premium retailer/agent?

Sent from my Xoom
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rquellet:
I also picked up the not so nice iGrip car mount from a corporate VZW store. It does not automatically launch the car home app and it does not allow for the extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mrscottish9:
I found a way to enable car dock mode. Very helpful with the dock so you dont have to re-seat it every time you want to go back into that mode.

1. Download "Any Cut" from app store (free download)

2.Launch and select New Shortcut

3. Select Activity

4. Scroll Down to "Car Panel" and select.

5.There you go! Quick link on your home page now to enable Dock mode.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] GrdLock:
When it's in dock mode, and you exit the car panel... can't you just open your app drawer and click the Car Panel icon to bring it back up?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
This was a corporate store.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheSlyWolf:
I picked up the igrip dock yesterday, played with it a bit last night and tested it out this morning.

So far I love it,

The usb connection is somewhat annoying, but I can deal with it, I'll probably dremel the pins down sooner or later.

The interface is very nice and easy to use, still trying to see if it can be customized. Looking to see if I can possibly put Dashcommand or Torque on it and have a shortcut to switch back and forth from vehicle diagnostics.

I like that it comes with a dash mount application as well.

I don't believe it has magnets, from what I can tell it shorts out usb pins, most likely pins 4 and 5.

Like the others have noted, the camera isn't obstructed.

Only thing that seems disappointing to me, but not a huge deal, is that the inductive battery cover probably wont work with it either.

Overall I'm in favor of it, seems well put together.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
Is the 3.5mm jack free to connect the aux cable?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheSlyWolf:
You know I felt but didn't look that great, it did feel slightly blocked by the dock, I'll double check tomorrow and report back. If it is it's noting a dremel can't fix in short time.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
thanks man much appreciated !!!!!!

Don't have bt on my car. I plan to use the gps along with Pandora. A lot!!!!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheSlyWolf:
Yes it appears that you can use the jack without any obstruction. Personally I hate having excess cords running when you don't need them. I have bt on my pioneer but it's older and requires constant discovery mode to be on when I walk to and from a running car, sucks that I have to resync evey time I get into my car.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
Thanks for the heads up. Guess I will walk to my nearest Verizon store during lunch to see they have it or I will order online.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] GutterIsATool:
I would really like to see some of these docks with Aux cable ports. I really hate having to dock it and then plug in the audio cable.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] masInvasion:
URPREY, what do you think of the Xoom, is the weight a problem with long use?

I really think I am going to get one when the wifi only comes out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] TheSlyWolf:
It would be an added advantage but imo it looks tacky having cables running around. If i had it my way it would only be charger cable at most running to it. An ideal solution would be to have a power connection go into the dock where you cant even see the cable and then have it charge wirelessly with the charging backpanel
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Sirjacksinurbox:
With all of the people complaining about the battery life, and with htc releasing an official extended battery and door, you would have to wonder if they will release a car mount specially constructed for the extended battery configuration.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] thebriand:
I like the mount, but I can't believe there is no customizable button. If my phone is in my dock I'm usually using PowerAmp, but I can't even add it to the menu. They didn't even provide a link to the stock player. Really seems like they dropped the ball on this issue.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bernjc3:
I'm planning on the getting one of the Tetrax XWay mounts. Most likely I'll get the Fixway and mount it between my middle vents. Just have to run the chords this weekend. Check out the store and a good review!

*EDIT* I'm not allowed to post links yet but just search "Tetrax - XWAY and FIX" and it's the first video I believe. Also the only place you can get them is through there store so just lookup "Tetrax US store" and it's the first link.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
I don't have a Xoom?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
i caved in and ordered the Verizon mount. i also installed that Google car dock app. hope im not disappointed... should receive it in like 2 days.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] cwininger:
i'm with this guy. coming from the droid x and it's mount, i think this mount blows. unusable with a case makes it unusable for me, period.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dB Zac:
I have had car docks for the last 4 phones I have owned and the last 3 have been OEMS or so I thought. The TB car dock is not an HTC product and you can tell. This thing is sub par at best. It is similar in function and style to the DX dock but it doesn't hold a candle to the DX dock. The biggest problem is the phone "leans" forward so when you snap the spring loaded clasp down if your not careful it slams down on the side of the phone. Even if you are carefull it still has a fair amount of plastic to plastic contact right at the edge of the phone. Verizon needs to have a talking to with GmbH and Co.

It sucks because a working car dock that auto transitoriness the phone to car mode so I can set up Bluetooth to automatically come on has become a make or brake for me. I don't want a ticket for talking on my cel and I always forget to turn on or off my bluetooth if left to my own devices
[Thunderbolt Accessories] andydumi:
Anyone else tried this? I read reviews that say it won't stick to ruberized phones well and the TB is ruberized on the back. Also, can you fold it flat back over the screw mount? Or do you lock it in a certain position for good?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] baires:
There are a few replacement dock apps in the Android Market that allow you to add custom buttons: Car Home and Car Dashboard, Car Dock Home v3, Custom Car Home, etc. I like Custom Car Home because it turns the GPS on and off without prompting me to do it myself.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] danielevans83:
Try out the Soundgate M2 dock...it's very small and can be hidden easily. Sticks on using what is basically 3M tape, it really holds well and is a well built little device. Needs a small disc on the back of your device to mount but you forget it's there after a week or so and the dock works GREAT!
