It should be bootanimation.zip and place in system/media. Not really sure why it's not working for you. Just give it another shot. It should work no problems once you have it in that directory.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SimeonAS89:
If you happened to use another bootanimation, make sure you fully delete it first and then move the Honeycomb over. Also, another issue I was running into with my last bootanimation was that, their was bootanimation file also located in data/local. So check their as well and delete any bootanimation file. That is more than likely what's causing your issue.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] laserdemon:
I got it, I had to delete the current file, reboot, the load the new one.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
I wonder if in the desc.txt has to all be written on one line to get rid of the white flash?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jree:
@linknight

Did you remove the original bootanimation.zip from the folder? Im just throwing things out there before anybody jumps on me for this
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] linknight:
No I didn't. I'll try that now and report back

UPDATE: I tried removing the original bootanimation.zip and it didn't help. I also tried editing the desc.txt so that all of it is on one line, but then the boot animation stopped loading completely. It seems like anytime I make an edit and re-zip the files, it stops working. Is there a specific way I should be zipping it? I'm using winrar to do it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] toukhang:
Check out the boot animation tutorial thread. Screen shots and all for u.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] linknight:
I also may have forgot the mention that the animation in the OP works fine, it's just the problem is with the landscape versions.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
The one in the OP is setup for a different screen size and its 24fps.

For the zip it should be set to store compression in order for it to work. You could take the desc from the OP and replace the desc in the landscape.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] megazeroxuxm:
LOVE it thanks! root explorer, put it into what op said, and renamed the older one before pasting and everything went GREAT! epic win. using axura :) it's funny cause my name is xu and axura has xu in it haha yay lol. love everything in this forum haha
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] linknight:
I tried using store for compression and it still didn't work. It's very odd.

not working on my desire hd

hi there

i have got DHD....did the steps that you wrote

after the restart....the mobile is the same--->> with Leedroid screen

what can i do to fix that?

thank you.

by the way--->> push with root explorer it's mean to move/copy the zip file and that is it right ???
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robertd0619:
Yes pretty much copy and paste. I don't really know where your bootanimation file is stored on your DHD might be a different folder insisde system folder. Just copy/move the bootanimation file wherever bootanimation is stored on your phone. It should work. GL.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] 2kotok:
ok

i gonna seek this folder and try that

thank you mate
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
For the DesireHD, try /system/local.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mardenator:
okay, i applied the bootanimation.zip via Terminal Emulator on my G2, and it's awesome. but i have that same problem with the flashing white screen. is there any fix for this?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] linknight:
OK, I have found a fix if you have the white flashing problem, at least for the MyTouch 4g!

The problem was the thumbs.db files in the folders with the images. I removed them and the white flashes went away! Now it works perfectly! I removed the thumbs.db files and uploaded them:

With Bee

Without Bee

NOTE: I know this works on my MyTouch 4G with CM7. I don't know if this fixes it for other phones with the white flashing problem
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SimeonAS89:
Have we gotten any kind of sound fixes? Or are we able to use the stock sounds?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
AWESOME! I dont know why my computer puts that stupid thumbs.db in my folders.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
I made a live wallpaper of this. As always, I am not responsible for things that happen with your phone due to installing this file. I have tested it. Remeber I have never made a live wallpaper before or put together a signed apk. After tons of reading and searching I have learned and put one together. Its not full screen, its sloooowwwww, but its my first attempt.

This is the tutorial I used http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/03/how-to-create-a-live-wallpaper/

Download:

Honeylive alpha v.0000000...tons of zeros 1 :)

Honeylive alpha v2

And no thumbs.db are in this file :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jree:
It was a great attempt at a live wallpaper but you are right about it being too slow. You can change the size but even setting the max fps it doesn't help. Still better than anything that I can do.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
Someone has put one in the market. Its $.99 so it must work good :)

http://www.appbrain.com/app/xoom-boot-animation/com.Mollicone.HoneycombBootLiveBG

For the one I made earlier, I made the images smaller. That equals smaller file size, smoother animation. Although it has to be set at 60fps to be smooth. But its not 15 megs anymore, its 2 megs now.

Honeylive alpha v2
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] linknight:
How did you get it working? I tried to make it myself using that live wallpaper creator but it just force closes. I followed the instructions but I don't know what is wrong. Even the one it comes with doesn't work :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
Just followed the instructions. I had some issues at first, I can't run that bat file as administrator, it doesn't do anything for me and just hangs on a black screen. Also had some file not founds. But now its working for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jree:
The pay one is definitley not worth buying. Its slow and you can't change the fps or settings unlike the one you made. The second one is tits and is now my new live wallpaper

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] venomshot629:
Okay, I've been trying this for about an hour now...

I have a stock TMobile myTouch 4G. I downloaded the "with bee" file that was recently uploaded.

My stock boot animation is "TMUS_bootanimation.zip", and it is in system/resources/customize. I've renamed the bee file "TMUS_bootanimation.zip" and put it in the same location as the TMobile one, set permissions, restart, and it overwrites my file.

I've also tried deleting TMUS_bootanimation.zip from the "customize" folder, and putting bootanimation.zip (with bee) in system/media, as well as in data/local. It either overwrites the "with bee" zip with the TMUS copy, or deletes it.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate some help though!! The bootscreen looks amazing!

EDIT: btw, I'm using Root Explorer to do all of this
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robertd0619:
are you rooted? if not i don't think it will work. i think after 2.2 you need to be rooted to install custom bootanimation. somebody correct me if i'm wrong.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] venomshot629:
no, im not rooted, i think that may be the issue... but I do remember seeing a while ago someone said they installed a bootscreen via some program "Android Commander" from the computer, but I dont remember where or how.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] robertd0619:
i did a quick google on it and read that too. they're talking about Android SDK and pushing the bootanimation file. and it also said the same thing after the 2.2 they can't do it anymore.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] grajasekar:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Maverick777:
The flashable CWM works great, but the splash screen from the kernel I installed is still there. Is there an easy way to remove the splash screen that appears after the "Vibrant" screen and before the boot animation?

I don't mind giving developers their credit, but I'd like to remove the splash screen to complete my theme.

Thanks.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] elvicaro:
When saving using WinRAR, use compression method "store", i.e. no compression
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] elvicaro:
How to get working on Xperia X10i

Using RootExplorer,

copy /system/media/bootanimation.zip onto PC

replace .png files from original /ani1 and /ani2 with new ones. Leave original desc.txt file alone.

Re-zip this back to bootanimation.zip without using any compression (e.g. in WinRAR select "store" for compression method).

Before putting new file onto phone I would suggest you rename original file on phone so you can restore it. Then upload new file back into system/media folder on phone. Set permissions

Y Y N

Y N N

Y N N

Reboot phone...all done! Correct image size and framerate.

Important things to avoid failure: Uncompressed zip file, permissions set, desc.txt as per original SE bootanimation file.

[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
Hey DG, here you go:

https://market.android.com/details?...oid.CircleBatteryWidget&feature=search_result

1% battery widget.
[Atrix 4G General] ronj1986:
Great find.....THANKS
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
It does display in 1% increments but now I'm wondering how the stock 10% increment system works. My other widget shows 40% when I'm at 39% on this circular widget. If the circular widget is correct, then that brings up the question of when the 10% increments actually change.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
my guess is that the widget is cheating and just estimating it until it actually receives the 10% drop. still useful
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Just made the "sacrifice" of wasting battery to figure it out. The 10% increment changed from 40 to 30 when the circular widget changed from 35 to 34. Still leaves the option that the circular widget is just estimating, but it could be accurate...

Edit: It's consistent... 25 to 24 was the change from 30 to 20.
[Atrix 4G General] EvilEvo:
Doesn't display in 1% increments on my phone for some reason.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
That's weird... can't imagine why it wouldn't work for you as well. Have you tried rebooting?

Off topic: Do you own a B5 S4, EvilEvo?

Back on topic: I've been watching as my battery lowers and it at least appears to be accurate. I'd definitely like to see confirmation on whether or not the hardware is limited to 10% increments.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
from what designgears said, it is indeed a hardware limitation. that's why i said the program must be "cheating" and estimating the battery drop depending on use, since it cannot get a proper hardware read.
[Atrix 4G General] kwin_captivate:
i use the fancy widget to display the clock and weather but in the setting i also enable it to show battery life as well and it shows by 1% increment.
[Atrix 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
its a cheater app.. sorta like the abttery calibration that we used to do on the epic...

you charge to full wipe stats let it fully drain then fully charge

then the app knows the rough approximation of the time and keeps track itself instead of relying on the phone/battery to tell it.

thers a few battery apps that behave this way
[Atrix 4G General] EvilEvo:
If you let your battery get below 20%, it starts reading in 5% intervals. Not sure why it would do that and not be able to do that elsewhere.

NVM, it didn't work at work at first, i guess the battery might have legit been at 50% haha. And yes I do, and use the same name on AZ and Vortex.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
Because its probably not a hardware limitation lol. Im guessing its the driver.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Recognized you from AZ lol.

That's what I'm thinking, or at least wondering about. It seems odd that they would design the hardware to measure in 10% intervals until the last 20%. I can't imagine the ability to do 5% intervals the whole time would be much more complicated or expensive to work into the design.
[Atrix 4G General] EvilEvo:
Haha, ya. I recognized your name too.

I think it can be figured out. I'm not knowledgable enough in it, but I would look into however it displays or calculates the battery below 20%.

So i got this beautiful machine today and ive had a few problems on it. So far the camera has messed up on me twice. I was taking a picture of someone with the rear camera and it just froze. I clicked home and then force stopped the camera application from settings and then tried to go to the camera and it said camerancouldnt connect. Had to restart. Then i took some pics and videos front facing and rear. Now when I go to the camera app it stuck on the front facing camera, no matter which camera I try to use. Also i work at Bestbuy and when. We were trying to set up the demo device we connected it to an HD screen via hdmi obviously and i tried playing a youtube video in HD. Kept saying tap to refresh so I tapped and then all of a sudden it just hard crashed. I had to just turn it back on. Also right now just trying to watch HD youtube keeps telling me to tap to refresh. Not sureif thats just me and my internet cnnnection but yeah. Just wanted to put these out there. Remember still an early version but I do not think google should have removed the beta tag on this OS

So I followed this tip. http://reviewhorizon.com/2010/12/how-to-connect-and-tether-nook-color-to-ad-hoc-networks-like-mywi/ . It borrows the method that cicada posted then adds a wake screen and sleep profile trick using an app called 'Settings Profiles Full'. So far that is working great for me. Good luck.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelfin:
My apologies if im posting this in the wrong forum, i just need some help deciphering some of the shorthand used in the unlock guide for the evo shift. I rooted my Hero last year, and am considering rooting my evo, but i dont remember it being anywhere this difficult. If someone would please take a moment to explain what some of this means, and tell me if i have the right programs installed. I did the temp root on the shift, ive downloaded java se and the android sdk (presumably for the adb?) but for the life of me cannot figure this line out...

make sure you have adb properly setup on your computer before continuing

(assuming the android sdk is the adb...)

----->>>>open up command prompt and cd to your sdk platform-tools directory

(what the heck... i get the command line from android sdk, the only thing im thinking is that i dont have the rooted phone connected to my computer at the moment)

then type adb shell then su

(while im asking then someone can explain this to me that would be appreciated.)

if you havent already u must press allow on your device to enable su perms
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiddummy:
click the start button on your screen (bottom left), click the search bar and type "command." a program called "command prompt" should show up. click on it type in:

cd\

hit enter

then type:

cd AndroidSDK\platform-tools

hit enter again

at this point, it should say something like "C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\"

if all is well and good, type in:

adb shell

hit enter

a "$" should show up

type:

su

hit enter

the superuser app on your phone should pop up and ask for permissions

grant permissions

the "$" should become a "#"

I've been on Bionix 1.2.1 for about 2 weeks and had relatively good battery life.

Suddenly, my battery life is going down really quickly. About 10% every half hour. I didn't update any apps, or install any new apps during that time. I've checked all my apps to make sure they're not downloading data too often.

As a last resort, I've reinstalled Bionix and the Ka7 stock kernel again as well. Now it seems intermittent. Battery life will be good for 2-3 hours, then rapidly drain, then OK for a 1 hour, then rapid drain.

I haven't been using my phone at all, just turning it on to see the battery life meter. I've checked the Android "whats using your battery" and it's only listing "display93%" "standby 3%".

Any Ideas?

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Computer Dreams:
any help????

my wife's battery life is so bad
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xander0306:
I use set cpu and turn down the speed when the screen is off. My battery performance is almost equal to what I used to get from the Droid1. It'll last me all day with moderate usage,
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
I use SetCPU as well but I am a little more aggressive.

ScreenOff = 300Mhz

Less than 50% Batt = 800Mhz

Less than 25% Batt = 600 Mhz

I also have it set to throttle down to 800Mhz when temp goes above 50C but thats not really about Battery Life.

You really don't notice the lowered CPU at all. Especially during phone calls or TXTing.

I think the real savings is in the screen off. My guess is the stock automatic scaling is not doing a good enough job on it's own when the phone is sleeping. and most of our battery life was being blown away in standby.

With those settings I have been able to go almost a day and a half on a charge with moderate use where before even light use would only get me 6-8 hours.

And that is with a BP6 not a 7!

With those settings as your battery goes lower the longer it will take to drain. It really was remarkable.
