Found this gif. It goes to the blue screen of death afterwards. I don't know if you could edit that out or not. If not it would be cool to have the loading screen loop for a minute, and then cut to a blue screen of death right before loading android.

I torn between wanting a pixel perfect copy of the original and wanting a cleaned up (not so grainy and not 256 colors) but otherwise identical image, with a matching scrolling bar. Unfortunately, I'm not that talented or knowledgeable to do it myself.

Here is a second try at the Windows 7 boot animation. I'll work on the Windows XP one in a little bit to see if I can get that one setup as well.

EDIT: Updated the Windows 7 one again, and also put the Windows XP one here. Hopefully both work as I think I figured out what I was doing wrong before.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Spazguitar306:
The XP one is PERFECT. Did you put the bootup sound on it too? I flashed this in class and had my phone on vibrate. I'll be able to check later if that's working or not (if you put it in). But even without sound it's awesome. Thanks a lot man.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
No, there is no boot sound in the Windows XP one. If anyone can post up a sound, I'll put it in there.

I don't know if you needed mp3 or wav so I converted to both for you:

XP logo didn't work for me. I'll try flashing it again but it may not work with the Touch of Blue EB 01 theme, which replaces the boot and shutdown screens.

Hello Guys,

My name is John, I recently became the social media analyst at Samsung mobile. I wanted to start opening the lines of communication between XDA and Samsung. First I wanted to say I have noticed your work on our devices on the XDA forums. I think you guys do an outstanding job, I myself am a developer for mobile devices. So let’s get down to business, we’re going to be in Austin from March 10-15 for the SXSW(south by southwest http://sxsw.com/convention). I was wondering if any of you guys are going so that we could meet up and share a couple of ideas I have. I am looking forward to meeting some of you GREAT developers!

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, we will get to that later. For now, I'm here to let you guys know that Samsung is here! We have seen your work and we love it!
[Samsung Mesmerize] SamsungJohn:
Thanks, I wil answer all your questions shortly. My main goal is to let you guys know that we have been watching the forums and I am here to help. And for the last time I am the REAL DEAL lol.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mesmerizeuser:
Nice to meet you. It's great to know that Samsung is following the development community. Always thought manufacturers would be disgusted with all the atrocities we commit against our helpless devices.

Though my Mesmerize is my first smartphone (and an awesome one at that) I have always been a big fan of Samsung phones (I used my SCH-A870 for three years because it was the best dumb phone I had ever touched). It makes me very happy to see a company looking at it's product's users (and hackers) to help improve their products and relations with their customers.

Welcome to the Forums!

John Imah, please prove to us that you are really who you say you are and that you are not here for malicious reasons. then maybe people might believe you. I am very skeptical of anyone at samsung. They have yet to treat us right. (bad source and all)
[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
As a show of good faith and so we know you are really who you say you are, how about a link to the complete source code for the EB01 kernel?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
John, if you're for real, please tell Samsung to stop using the ridiculously inferior RFS filesystem. Why they would waste time developing a proprietary filesystem when better standard ones are available is beyond me. Also, the sound and color fixes shouldn't have been standard too. Our devs are awesome, but the fact remains that there shouldn't be a need for Voodoo in the first place.

Posted from my DL09 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
that will work too
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
If you really work for Samsung, please tell us when the magical fix for the GPS in the Galaxy S series that your support continues promising is actually coming. Or maybe froyo for the Captivate. Then maybe we'll believe you are who you say you are. :-)
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Oh yeah, that will work too. If you're for real, you'll have to forgive the lack of trust. We've been let down by Samsung and bitten by trolls far too often.

[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
While the fact that the decidedly less-than-professional self-in-mirror shot and the Star Wars background made me a little skeptical at first, some quick digging shows the Twitter account @SamsungJohn, at least, appears to be legit.

I say that because it's been mentioned in tweets by the Twitter Verified account @SamsungService ("#FF @GalaxySsupport @SamsungMobileUS @Samsungtweets @SamsungEsteban @SamsungCarla @SamsungCos @SamsungOmar @SamsungJohn"), as well as @GalaxySSupport and other Samsung employees like @SamsungCarla ("A special #FF to the newest #SamsungSupport team member: @SamsungJohn. Android dev, #custserv tech. specialist, & mobile genius.") and @SamsungJessica.

Also, his full name is John Imah, according to the Twitter account.
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
I'll be damned:
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
On another note... gosh, I wish I could say the negative reaction to what definitely appears to be a real (and new!) Samsung employee's appearance here is unexpected, but it's not.

But it's also incredibly disappointing to see and I think represents much of what's wrong with the XDA community.

YES: Samsung has sucked at reaching out to consumers and has thus far been less-than-supportive of their devices.

BUT: Here they are, by all appearances trying to change that, and people just want to spit in their faces? Wouldn't it be more constructive to at the least hear them out, if not try to work with them?

I mean, I haven't seen any other phone company -- not Motorola, not HTC, not LG -- reach out to developers and actually want to share ideas.

So I am, for one, very glad that Samsung might actually be trying to change how phone companies interact with developers -- and is maybe even viewing devs as the potentially valuable resource they are, rather than the enemy.
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
Lucky you. Captivate owner here who wandered by accidentally, so DJ05 isn't my answer. I've tried every official and unofficial fix/hack with little success. I can now even get a stationary fix indoors in <10s with an XDA fix but can't track worth a darn in a moving vehicle for more than 30 sec at a time, making the GPS useless. And even that was an enormous improvement over stock and after applying the fatally flawed Samsung fix(es). Successive calls and emails to carrier, manufacturer and retailer yielded nothing but a vague assurance from Samsung that a pending (but timeline not specified) update would fix it.

Amen!
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Which is why he may be reaching out to you devs now (I'm a noob, so I can't use terms like "us devs").

Maybe he's trying to "clear the air" and work with the dev community like Motorola claims to be doing. Or maybe he's just trying to learn your tricks so Samsung can make a root-proof bootloader or something and cut you off at the knees with Sammy's next firmware update.

If I had the money to go to this conference, I personally would go to meet him and hear what he has to say... I wonder how much of this bitterness is really due to Sammy's reputation and how much is "sour grapes" from people who have no realistic chance of making it to this conference. Honestly, now, how many of you were so anxious to get the "official" froyo update that you became bitter - I think most of us users who frequent these forums are actively looking for UNofficial builds to play with. For all of the "where's froyo" questions littering these forums, you devs did some amazing work with Eclair, superior to much of the froyo work done in the Captivate section (I use both devices - my Captivate is basically a Galaxy S Touch).

I, for one, would much rather run a rooted, deodexed, theme-able ROM than any of the stock builds, and I think that is also what Samsung recognizes, especially with the beating Touchwiz gets in the media.

This guy may actually be reaching out to find ways to improve Touchwiz.

I agree with ivory, RFS has killed this phones true potential...!
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Completely agree with you, Falcyn.
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
You have a point, but from where I stand Samsung has earned the cynicism. Support staff that even deny ever having heard of the persistent and undeniably widespread GPS issues, multiple advertised features (Froyo upgrade, Samsung Media Hub, GPS) that still haven't been delivered/fixed some 8 months following launch... I guess you're right and maybe I'm jaded, but Samsung will have to earn my respect back after sticking me with this turd.

And sending a low-level social media guy to meet devs to GIVE them ideas not LISTEN to them... I mean, it's a little insulting at this point.

/rant
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Don't be too disappointed about the delayed access to Media Hub just yet... they have about as much content right now as you have in your living room DVD collection ;-)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
Ok, yeah. But my point was that it's yet another advertised, promised feature that Samsung doesn't appear to be even slightly dedicated to actually delivering in any reasonable timeframe.

What other company would simply rely on contracts and early termination fees so much to (by outward appearances) allow them to under-deliver on advertised features? And what other company would expect those customers to remain customers?
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
No company would expect such blind devotion from jilted customers - including, I suspect, Samsung. It's easy to forget that the Galaxy S line was really Samsung's first foray into high-end Android phones, and they (hopefully) are trying to learn from their mistakes, like Sony and the Xpungia, er, Xperia X10. Otherwise, they would have to be the biggest dummies to ever do business south of the 38th Parallel ;-)

If they DO continue to provide inadequate service for the Galaxy S line, the collapse of Samsung's mobile unit will make the dot-com bust look like a slow fizzle.

Dear John,

When you work in Social Media, you actually have to occasionally log back in and respond to posts. Especially when your post was an effort to make contact with people who are inherently reserved about any possible benefit from your presence. Extra especially when you represent a company or corporate entity which has for the most part let them down.

In a reciprocal effort to reach out to you, allow me to throw a few ideas your way.

It's probably not a good idea to try to solicit the real names, personal email or mailing addresses, or SSNs of any members of our development community.

Were I you, I would probably avoid our IRC channels. Seriously.

Read the above, and understand that the statement is for your benefit, not the communities.

You have a really tough hill to climb here, so get to it. I don't think you're going to get much until you give. Unless sarcasm and flaming are what you joined for.

Please post, on an unrelated forum with an external link, a picture of your balls next to a standard class sized ruler. I am guessing they are fairly significant in size, and of significant density and hardness.

Dont BS the people here. Once. About anything.

Do not under any circumstances make any statements or predictions that you aren't willing to stake your reputation, or at least the paint on the driver's side door of your Camry on.

Watch some George Carlin, or Everybody Loves Raymond, or Golden Girls, or whatever it takes to bolster your sense of humor. You're going to need it.

By my estimation John, you have approximately one chance in here, and one chance only. If you blow it, it's gone. Even if you show up with a different account in a different thread for a different Sammy device, you will probably be sniffed out. :)

No pressure, and welcome!
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I think John is more likely to be driving a Sonata than a Camry (those 2011 Sonatas are sweeter than froyo ;-))

[Fascinate General] skynet11:

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
Ok, yeah. This is a good point too. However, they didn't let that stop them from charging full price for it either. And it's not like they've made any effort to placate or compensate consumers who still haven't been given what they were promised at the point of sale. I think forgiving these as freshman mistakes is giving away far too much. These are even still retailing around $600 unsubsidized or ~$200 upfront plus a ~$2k contract commitment. And let's face it, more mature platforms/makers (*ahem* iPhone *ahem*) charge about the same thing. And their GPS works!

At the same time, in Samsung's defense I think many owners tend to forget that mass-market mobile devices on an open-source platform was really a remarkable undertaking and the model is still being made up as it goes along. And while it might be a easy to forgive Samsung for some Rumsfeldian "didn't know what they didn't know" about the challenges, at some point we have to start regarding it with a "It's been kind of a lot of months at this point and you guys really ought to know by now."
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I think it more likely the op is trying to find the source of their leaks.

Aint gonna happen, home boy.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
The Galaxy S line wasn't Sammy's first Android excursion. And we are talking about Samsung. Seriously. There's no excuse here, no matter how hard you look. I love my device, but if it wasn't for our development community, I would have Driven from Georgia to Minnesota to get my N1 back from the guy on Ebay who bought it about two weeks after I sold it.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Of course, forgiving freshman mistakes is contingent on real changes and solid improvements being made. The forgiveness from disappointed customers could only take place after amends have been made in the form of timely updates from now on (including GB 2.4 and the rumored successor, Ice Cream Sandwich) and maybe a free Media Hub movie or two for our trouble (ownership, not rental).

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
Speculation from a noob: I kind of doubt this is the case. Execs might have been sore-assed about it at first but the leaks have actually wound up working in their favor. If nothing else it has helped shift the blame for delayed updates to the carriers as Samsung clearly had done a lot of work on the update by Oct.

And let's face it, if multimillion dollar Korean Chaebols got their u-trou in enough of a knot to try to sniff out the leak source, they have much nastier and more effective tricks up their ginormous sleeves than sending some random and apparently inept "social media/developer" (who's probably terrified to face his boss tomorrow right now) to inquire on the inter-tubage.

Continued speculation from a noob who's donning his foil hat: How wild an idea is it to think that the "leaks" were intentional, designed to excite the enthusiast community and get some free field testing? I'm just sayin'...
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
From the questions I have seen him ask in IRC....I am very suspicious.

As for being an...outlet for leakers....its not intentional. I know for a fact.

[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Little late to go leak-hunting, isn't it? I could think of many better ways to find the leak than inviting devs to pay their own way to Austin, Texas to attend a conference and trying to get them to snitch ;-) As you said yourself, that just ain't gonna happen.

[Fascinate General] Rrryan2:
Oh. Oh well, then. <removes foil hat>

Again, I'm experienced in tech but somewhat new to Android still. Back when the leaks happened I had still barely even looked in Android's direction so I can only look at in retrospect.

Mighta been a good strategy though, huh? Maybe *I* should be a social media guy for Samsung! I know how to use vBulletin and Twitter! And I couldn't possibly do a worse job than what's happened here tonight, ftw!

On behalf of those of us xda members that desires to believe samsung is trying to save face and treat their consumers respectfully, I appologize for the negative reception you've received.
