Hey guys,

I am posting this link to this sweet boot animation that usmc7356 created. The problem is that he is not able to get it running on the XOOM. Any help is appreciated. Here is the link the XOOM forums:

"My First XOOM Boot Animation"
[Vega Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
name it bootanimation.zip and place it in the system/media folder. should run fine

edit: no luck. after extracting the zip, i noticed another the first file is named bootanimation as well. extracted those contents and rezipped them/named it bootanimation.zip. therefore once you open the bootanimation, it goes straight into the desc and the part0 folder. still no luck. ill dig around and see whats going on. no promises as i am no good at coding but we'll figure it out. stock boot ani sucks lol.
[Vega Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
brain fart and i deleted the old boot ani. can someone post this please? thanks!
[Vega Themes and Apps] bwcorvus:
old and deleted
[Vega Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
No dice pimp. I even tried just replacing pngs. Your desc file is right on far as I can tell. Idk man, may be the file size. I compressed the images as much as I could w/o shrinking the img size, including the zip itself. No dice there either.
[Vega Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
Brain fart number two. We do not have a custom kernel that allows for custom boot animations yet lol.
[Vega Themes and Apps] jkurl:
This won't even work w/ the OC kernel. The person who made this has the OC kernel and it is not working on his either. It is weird as the bootanimation file is exactly the same as his. The file google put on there is nothing special.
[Vega Themes and Apps] bigrushdog:
Ill look at ramdisk and see what I can do :cool:
[Vega Themes and Apps] jkurl:
@bigrushdog. The person who made this also found a file in system/bin that is a bootanimation shell file. I opened it and it is all a garbelled mess. I wonder if this might be what is controlling the boot animation file. Since I don't have root access I couldn't open it in text editor but that probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
[Vega Themes and Apps] bigrushdog:
guys, custom boot animation works just fine. all you had to do was change the root of zip from /bootanimation to /part0 and desc. the content should be in root, not in another folder. Posting link in a sec.

Here ya go, courtesy of bishop72

btw, this bootanimation is wicked!
[Vega Themes and Apps] bishop72:
Awesome!!! Now how do we install this :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] bwcorvus:
I just dragged and dropped it into the system/media folder :). It does work (renamed old one).
[Vega Themes and Apps] lasphyxial:
i popped the bad boy into Data/local with root explorer and it works just fine :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Any chance someone could upload a video of this in action?
[Vega Themes and Apps] lasphyxial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBX2OY2wT_E quick video i did from my DX.
[Vega Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
That looks awesome! But does it always take over 30 s to boot??? I haven't played with my Xoom a lot yet so I can't remember
[Vega Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Looks great, but I have a suggestion.

Make the data to the right load slower, and once it gets to the Invidia logo, let it sit (maybe with a "Starting Android" notification flashing somewhere) until the XOOM fully boots. It looks odd as a loop.

Otherwise, it's really well done.
[Vega Themes and Apps] wnrussell:
It's only 512 x 256 pixels, very fuzzy. Am I missing something?
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
very nice man. hmmmm. can the xoom play sound during but up??
[Vega Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
Lol I did that and no dice... hmm. Good work though lol :-)
[Vega Themes and Apps] jkurl:
I tried to pull it over but it wouldn't let me aside I am not rooted yet. Any other ideas to get this on my zoom.
[Vega Themes and Apps] bishop72:
The original stock boot was fuzzy too. was/is anyone experienced the same thing from the stock boot?
[Vega Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
Just applied it and it works and looks great
[Vega Themes and Apps] greenrocks:
Can someone post a newbie guide, please? =P
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
If anyone want the old school PS2 bootup, im making that right now. hopefully i can get it to work. id really love to find out a way to get this thing to play sound on the bootup though. Im not much of a coder or anything so i have no idea where to start. It would make it so much better.

Me want :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
I forgot how frustrating this was. :/ how do you tell what the framerate is? i totally forgot. :/ i think thats my only problem
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
Me want :)

ill post it as soon as i figure it out. :/ lol
[Vega Themes and Apps] AndroidFileHost:
I wish I could help. I'm trying to figure out how to make one to.
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
so i can get it to work, its just when i go to change the resolution is when it shows a blank screen. :/
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
Maybe im not packing the .zip right. :/ i used to knew where a good tutorial was but i dont remember where its at.
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQYc5Q8eYvA

heres what i got. the resolution thing is really bugging me, but it works! lol
[Vega Themes and Apps] AndroidFileHost:
SWEET. Atleast u got it working. When I get off. Work in 30 min ill look into the resolution problem. I want to create one now lol.
[Vega Themes and Apps] 17akota:
i think im packing the zip wrong. that BA is straight from one of the ones i made for my DX. lol
[Vega Themes and Apps] Usmc7356:
Any other inputs on packing the zip? I think that's my original problem
[Vega Themes and Apps] c0t0d0s2:
I am guessing that the stuff in the boot.desc needs to match the images. So your boot desc (and images) need to be 1280x800.

boot.desc (for those that dont know) is in teh following format:

Images Width, height, frame rate

p a b foldername	Play a times then pause for b frames

p x y otherfolder	Play x times, pause y frames after each loop

so i'm creating one that would be the following:

1280 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

OH!

Also, when you make the zipfile, be sure to use STORE ONLY mode, e.g. NO COMPRESSION. I'm betting whats why this isnt working for some of you.

EDIT: It works. I made a one frame boot animation to test, which i've attached.

It's a random picture of a fully clothed pretty girl, but its the right dimensions for the xoom.

I'm going to try and remake the old tried and true bootscreen one, only for the xoom. If i am really bored, I'll make one for each layout (portrait or landscape)
[Vega Themes and Apps] Usmc7356:
All my boot animations are working and posted at xoom forums under developmment and themes. Thread name is new boot animations. All there including this one xda helped me fix (thanks again bigrushdog)...
[Vega Themes and Apps] Zykhan1:
Same, waiting to root but want to change the boot animation but running into two issues. With Astro full version i can see the system/media folder but cant paste the animation there. Also read that i may need to instead go to the data/local folder. There is nothing in the data folder much less a local folder. Im possibly missing some newbie step but any help would be great. Still have alot more reading to do with this thing

Okay I have the app but it says it's not supported on my EVO but my friends inspire works just fine with it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Where did you get it? I've been looking for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Perhaps its a dud? And maybe it was designed for the Inspire [that app].
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znewman99:
My friend said he got it on 4shared I would upload it but I think its against the rule's
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znewman99:

Hmm sounds good..._MetalHead_, I may be on to something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znewman99:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I just got it, and no force closes. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znewman99:
It let you activate it and everything :-D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckredbeard:
I am trying to get my 101 to playback on an HDTV using the HDMI out. When I connect, the TV gives me an "Invalid Format" message. The TV is an Olevia 227-S11 and is 1080(not sure if it is i or p).

From what I've read, this is because of the resolution or sync rate of the device providing the signal, which would be the 101. Anyone got any experience with this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
i am just wondering if i should stay on 2.3 because all i hear is about all the random reboots is it worth updating to 2.3.1+ i am not having any problem with my phone just wondering if it fixes or adds anything special
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfile087:
I don't know if 2.3.1+ adds any more features because I'm new to gingerbread and mine came with 2.3.1 but if you haven't any issues just leave it for now? It's up to you really if you want the latest... It may cause issues that you don't have at current

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rareasasparagus:
Can someone give a newbie android user some help on the best way to reset the phone if I suspect it got malware.

I know about lockout, knockout, Lookout, that was it, but let's just call this an intellectual exercise because it's not clear to me at the moment that's going to really find the payload if the android market has already deleted the app.

I reloaded cyanogenmod (and upgraded, so I know it worked) but oddly it didn't wipe my apps or my data, which I expected it to. So, I apparently haven't grasped that part of how it works.

So, if I do a factory wipe and reflash it and redownload my 4 whole normal safe apps. Then is it safe to restore my data (with Titanium)? Where can these payloads reside?

I solemnly swear to never ever use the app store again. For anything. I got that message loud and clear on another forum that downloading a scientific calculator was just irresponsible.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohshua:
best way i could say is to superwipe and then re flash your rom
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heardamir:
Hi there,

I have been having an annoying issue with my Nexus One. The issue is, that I am forced to reboot the device a few times each day, because it loses signal, and cannot re-register to a cell network.

I first experienced the problem on Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 stable. I have since experienced the issue on CM 6.0.1, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, CM7 RC1. The issue got so bad that I went back to stock Froyo 2.2 and lastly, am now on stock gingerbread. I am still getting the issue so it is not an issue with cyanogen.

Also, i've noticed that the issue will mainly rear it's ugly head when i'm in the office, where reception is quite scarce (usually 1 bar of reception or below.) However, when i go outside or to a full reception area, it still can't register to a network.

I have the latest radio, too. Does anyone have a suggestions?

Regards,

rnodern

[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
My brother and I are curious as to what is up with the File System in these phones involving the internal Memory and SD Card. He has a different GS and his file system is soo much stranger. However I'm more interested in how this Fascinate works

It claims 2gb internal memory But where in the file system is this internal memory? Where is the A2SD Memory? Where is all this stuff, say in like Root Explorer?

Here's a screen shot of the Fascinate with a 8gb SD Card

It shows the SD Card, which I get that, in Root Explorer its /sdcard/. However where is the 191mb that is completely empty of A2SD? Where is the 1.53gb of Internal Storage?

I know on my Inc, Internal memory is /emmc/ and sd is /sdcard/
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
Not one person on this forum knows how this phones file system is setup?
[Fascinate General] mrodsunshine:
Its RFS file system, voodoo converts it to ext4. Apparently ext4 is more efficient/effective, specifically write operations. I'm no programmer so that's the extent of my knowledge.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Fascinate General] skreeves:
I think Internal storage is /data, System storage is /system, System cache is /cache, and A2SD storage is /mnt/asec.
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
Thanks. Stupid Verizon claiming 2gb internal storage but there isn't any real internal storage. You must have a SD Card to do anything on the phone.
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
Its slower, but more efficient and safer. But not what I was asking. I was asking for some kinda Diagram of the Storage Locations and what not like

IE: /mnt/sdcard = External SD Card.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
No, there is internal storage. Take your microSD out and see if it still works... It might be an internal permanent SD card for all I know but it's there. Some of the other Galaxy S phones have both internal 16GB SD and an empty slot though which would have been nice to have.

I'm pretty sure RFS is not safer and definitely not more efficient... but by the way, most mount points are on the internal storage. Only /mnt/sdcard is on the sd card (big surprise).

If you want exact mount points for everything, run mount in a terminal emulator.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Yeah. There totally is internal storage. It's 2GB NAND flash storage. Totally not removeable.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grcd:
I came across this picture and a few thing about it really baffle me. For example, I do not understand how it is possible to have clock and other such information at the bottom. In addition, there seems to be a 'page-flicking' tool at the bottom, which I suppose it means it is some kind of new UI/Launcher, but I am not sure which. Finally, I really like the weather program implemented, but I do not know its name.

Any help would be really appreciated.

[Vibrant General] tomthebomb94:
My battery was great when I first got it but now it dies within 8-9 hrs with barley any use...is there anything I ca do to fix this?
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
need more info what rom are you running? what kernel? what modem? have you reconditioned your battery?
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
Get about 12-14 of pretty heavy use for me, max I got was 21 hours about 2.5 hours of screen on and 25 min ca
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Need more info like he said.......... But Read the Sticky about battery and look at some of the custom roms. They get great battery life.

And Yes, you may be the only one..............
[Vibrant General] the drugstore:
I get horrible battery life. Running the Stock KA6 Froyo build. No custom roms. I think I would like the phone more if it got better battey life. I get 12 hrs max. No heavy usage on phone either. NO GPS OR WIFI on either.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
This is probably the most asked question I see here. I recommend the search feature ;)

If you're on a stock or leaked ROM, your battery is going to suck. Root, download Titanium Backup and start by freezing both DRM Processes and Media Hub for starters.

Next, spend the $2 and download an app called "SystemPanel". Run if for 24 hours. It will tell you what is draining your battery. The hardware is perfectly capable of good battery life. The more bloatware (Samsung and T-Mobile Apps) and crap apps you remove from your system, the better. Also, 3G, especially in area's with poor reception, will eat your battery life. In my experience, EDGE + WiFi is MUCH more friendly than 3G with no wifi. WiFi Calling is a battery killer as well. Getting great life is really quite easy once you know what you're doing, and the best way to know what you're doing is to read up. :D
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
Just think how much more you'd love the phone if it not only got better battery life, but also preformed like you would expect a 1GHz cpu to perform! Try a new kernel and let the addiction begin!

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick I like to pretend is running Trigger 2.7 on OverStock 1.3...
[Vibrant General] axion68:
I get around 40 hours with light use. Running the latest bionix rom. wifi and bluetooth enabled the whole time, approx 90 minutes with the screen on. You should be able to get close to that.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Quick question: I run system panel. It never show media hub in top apps, why should I freeze it then?

P.s. I don't use media hub...am judge curious.
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
Haha beautiful answer, but I have no idea about the addiction you speak of... ;)
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Try out darkys rom I've had 1% loss in an hour with heavy usage compare to like 5% loss if no use on cm7
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
No you didn't. The Vibrants are capable of some pretty good battery life, but there's no need to exaggerate so badly.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
dude, your battery is defective, i lose 1% for 2 hours while playing dungeon defensers.
[Vibrant General] YMark:
+1. The above post from duboi97 is complete nonsense.
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
No **** that CM7 has bad battery life, it doesn't have optimizations. And 5% is exaggerating it, I lose 2% an hour with 3G on. I'd say that's pretty good.

Yes, it does die VERY quickly when you use it, but I expected that, that's why I use my iPod for heavy usage. :)

Also, the 1% thing, what kind of weed are you smoking? That seems like some REALLY good stuff.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Okay sorry about that lie. Truthfully moderate usage of 8 hours I lost about 20% I left a screenshot and from 100% I lost that in about 20 min no screenshot.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
Why do people use subjective terms like light, moderate, and heavy? Let us know what your display times are, as well as wifi or 3G connection.
[Vibrant General] YMark:
Good point.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
GUYS HE'S RIGHT! I just flashed Darkyy's rom 2 days ago, and i haven't lost a single percent.

Maybe the phone being off has something to do with it?

Even on standby, it will lose 1-3% in a hour.

It's a general saying;

Light means it wasn't used that much but still a bit

Moderate, you check your phone once in a while, texting phone calls etc.

Heavy is when your phones like on 24/7(not literally, but i'm guessing you know what i mean)
[Vibrant General] axion68:
The battery meter doesn't seem to be very linear. You are best off to run it dead and see how many hours your phone lasts. I can make it all day with 75% left, but it will be down to 40% in the morning.
