My DHD is going back to HTC for repair for the second time because i keep getting the "sd card has unexpectedly dismounted"

HTC tell me this is occuring because of the Whatsapp messaging app corrupting the sd card.

Have you experiance of this?

I'm back on my £99 ZTE blade which handles whatsapp just fine.:cool:
[Desire HD General] oz_r1:
im running whatsapp on my DHD but havent had a problem, however i know whatsapp creates its own directory on the sdcard for backups

might be a permissions issue with whatsapps trying to create a dir on your sdcard but not being allowed?

are you running a stock ROM?
[Desire HD General] seanybiker:
I have whatsapp installed aswell but have never had any problems with my SD card because of it. May get rid of it now. Kinda paranoid..
[Desire HD General] j3yps:
It's the included SAMSUNG SD Card's problem, i took mine bakc to the shop and they offered me a sandisk type4 replacement i took it right away, cause i read somewhere that the type2 cards(including the SAMSUNG SD) can't cope up with some apps that's why it's getting "unexcpectedly removed"
[Desire HD General] hmakmal:
Im 99.99% sure its the samsung memory card thats causing the problem. Ive recently purchased a 16gb class 10 and it has given me no problems.
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
Same here, i have a 16GB Scandisk card and have no issues with whatsapp :)
[Desire HD General] turkish-soldier:
no..

i am using whatsapp for 2 months and i don't see anything bad towards the sd card :):O
[Desire HD General] eatpepsi:
I actually have had to change my card because of what app... You are right.. I have noticed my card to un mount only when using what app... I tried this with three different cards... I am very sure it's because of that app only... I am using htc legend... 8 gb sdhc 8 and sdhc 4 kingston and sandisk cards !

Borrowing from ritalin's wicked ass template:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11795817

I created a lockscreen template guide to create lockscreens aligned with the circular lock object.

You can easily make aligned lockscreens like this one:

There's a folder group called, "LockScreenGuide," just drop your graphics under that layer.

I attached a sample lockscreen aligned wallaper so you can test this yourself. I didn't attach it as a JPG cuz it automatically recompresses it lowering the quality.

Please share your LAWs! (lockscreen aligned wallpapers)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Neo3D:
Here are some other samples.

And a big shout out to czonin for coming up with the idea in the first place! :D

Here's a screencap to help explain things a bit better:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] czonin:
I don't even get a shout out for that layout? Dam.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] colbyb25:
Nice work man. As soon as I can change my lockscreen...I will be using one of these for sure!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Neo3D:
Oops, sorry bro, I totally forgot! :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
Sorry, need clarity on this. Where exactly is this?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Neo3D:
ok, i added a screen shot above.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
Slick. Thank you
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
HAHAHAH you beat me too it, I was planning on doing this tonight based on your "LAWs" I saw in the other thread.

Great job and thanks for the cred.

Can you make your lockscreen different from your wallpaper?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
Is there a way to do this?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
I wish but I don't think so.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kamau54:
I gave you a thanks for your efforts.

But to totally honest, I have no idea what a "PSD" is or means, nor do I know how to use that template. I do know that once I figure itout, I'm gonna be making mad wallpapers that fit AND look good.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xmellyx:
A psd is an adobe Photoshop image file that can contain layers, transparency, and other metadata not contained in other image formats.

C'mon guys, nobody else sharing their lockscreen aligned wallpapers?

Hahahahahahaa great idea
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JeffsXoom:
I am trying to use one of these but it is not centered correctly it the pic needs to move to the right about a quarter of an inch while lookoing at my xoom. Any suggestions?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MitchTank:
have no doubt I can make this, my question is how to make my product into a flash able zip in cwm. If its not obvious I'm no dev, got I gotta start somewhere right. Any push in the right direction would be much appreciated.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] KyuubiD:
You can with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper but this template probably won't work with it since it doesn't crop the same way.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] richysayz:
nice guide! thumbs up
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MitchTank:
would be very greatful for some direction. I got the background aligned, but don't know where to go from here, what file type do I save as, is there anymore steps besides alligning and making all other layers transparent
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MitchTank:
also when I take an image from my gallery for a wallpaper, after sizing it never fits, I know y'all know what I'm talking about, know how to fix? Could use that advice as well.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] goofballtech:
Quick and easy one i made to use as a guide to try and get a template set up for multipicture live. I wish it would let you set a wall paper for each orientation... that would make it super easy to rotate designs to look sweet....

*Edit. Posted second version of that lock screen image. Pretty much just a screen shot of the xoom with the gradient... that's what multitouch's resolution is. Maximized.

Still no idea how i can make an image that rolls with orientation.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Neo3D:
I think you can now with 3.2
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidXFTW:
My LAWs

While these are quite simple, I am open to suggestions and requests.

Also, this is my first post so be nice ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bassdj427:
Could someone edit these wallpapers for this use? Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidXFTW:
Try these out. Let me know if i should make any changes.

I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem. I've tried setting it as wallpaper from the browser, i've saved the images and tried from the gallery, can't seem to figure out what im doing wrong to make it fit.

anybody care to clue me in, i'm assuming its a stupid solution i've just overlooked :eek:

Edit: and now with multipicture live wallpaper, still can't figure it out. it's maddening.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rabidturtles359:
Great job. But in 3.2 its about a quarter inch low just thought i should let you know:-D
[G Tablet General] y2k-inc:
i really don't see the utility of the phone icon in there, why they are not putting some other icon, like email and such? I know other after market allow you to change it, but if a firmware have been modded why leave the phone icon there?

:p
[G Tablet General] Cannibul:
I've wondered the same thing.
[G Tablet General] chili_red:
It's easy enough to change with the Launcher Pro app.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
The launcher is an app, they would have to recode the launcher app. Most firmware customizing is changing the framework, adding apps and/or replacing them. Stock launcher has the phone icon/shortcut. Most don't recode the apps that are included with the rest of the AOSP pull.

If any one has an animated gif they want turned into a boot screen, I'll make it for you. All I need you to do is give me the gif and I'll make it, and put it in a zip for you. If you want sound I'll experiment and see if I can make one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Here are the three from the second post

*These ARE flashable through cwm recovery!*

for anyone that's curious I am making an Ubuntu boot screen.

Here is a "black stock boot animation" I made upon request.

I used the generic one, worked great! Thanks a lot!

I am glad you liked it :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] DownTheCross:
Man, could you make this into a boot for me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
This is flashable through cwm if you are using an inspire 4g. If you are using it on another phone let me know because I will have to adjust the resolution.

Great man, I appreciate it, but when I tried to flash it, it failed, and when I manually did it, it just shows up a black screen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I flashed it earlier. I had to wipe restore and then flash it again and it worked. If you made a nandroid back up restore and try to flash again. I promise it works and looks good :).

I like the Generic Inspire, except for the text change from "Inspire 4G" to "Loading..." IMHO, would be better if it just kept repeating "Inspire 4G."

Either way, thanks, it looks great.

Glad I could help :D!
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Hi,

Could you make a boot animation using this image?

This is from a free wallpaper site.

I don't want it to be a flashable file. I need to manually replace a bootanimation file in a specific directory myself for the ROM I'm using.

I think it looks cool, and I'd love it if you can do this.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
To be honest with something like that since its not an animated .gif. I would have to use illustrator to vector it then animate it. It would take a while to do. Even if I made it with my 3d program. If you could find an animated gif I would be more then willing to convert it for you and give you the zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
BTW..... You have some killer Sig Tags buddy. You weren't lying when you said you change them often. Just thought I'd put that out there. Enough gravelling?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
I was using a program called virtuall dub. it was the only (free) program i could find that could convert mp4 to png files but imm shure theres more out there. and yes, i have all the png files now. there just not in 8bit format i guess...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Thanks man. I appreciate it. The grovelling is appreciated also, lol. If you want, check out the first page post graphic for Cstayton's StarDroid 3d rom. I think that one came out nicely. Great rom also by the way. I did not forget about your flashable file either, I have just been swamped. Hopefully I will be able to post it here in the next few days. I will pm you when it is up. (You will be there one day for sure. Keep practicing.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Zip them up and post them and I will bring them into Photoshop, check them, and run a batch script to convert them all if they need it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Hey no worries! Now that I have it down, its as fast as flashing anyways, or close enough....

I almost don't want to admit this - but the reason I wasn't able to get it working and had trouble was Root Explorer not being checked in file expert.....

Yah. I kicked my arse.... It also explained why I wasn't able to see my data folder to wipe my battery stats, among other things. Keep it up bud.

Ok, so i finally got the bootanimation i was working on to accually work without bootlooping and crashing my phone but unfortunately, its to big to post and share.

(over 30mb) but it works and loos half decent.

Iff someone can host the file for me I'de be happy to share it with anyone who wants it.

its from the movie tron legacy the disk wars battle.

I allso have a .gif file thats too big to share as well...

ill keep trying to upload

You can sign up for dropbox and host it through there.

Hey guys I really want to get the sega genesis startup from sonic the hedgehog 2 as my boot animation. Can somebody here help me with that?

I tried doing it myself and compiled 25 screenshots/frames, but I don't know if the quality is any good...you tell me. The whole point is to have it with sound (when it says "SEGA") so I recorded that as well and will attach them below.

If you think I did wrong or think it won't look right when you put the png's together just let me know. (I saved the png's at 480x800)

And if you can zip it for me that would be awesome!

Also if you think you can come up with something better here is a youtube video of exactly what I would like for my boot animation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs_7RX9XpAg&feature=related
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
Iff im not mistaken, only certian roms support bootanimation audio. Ill try to help you iff i have time tho.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
Sonic Sega

Here ya go. SEGA Sonic boot animation rite here 4 ya.

Had to make it from scratch cause there wasnt enough frames. should run smoothly.

Dropbox link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39644504/bootanimation.zip

As far as sound, see if you can use one of the bootanimation utility apps from the market to find the sound binarary or find one floating around the forums.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
here it is slowed down. the last number in the first line of desc.txt is the frame rate. dropping this number will limit the amount of frames/sec and therefor slow it down. In this case I changed it from 15 to 5, slowing it down to about 1/3 of the speed you had it. I started at 7, it was still too fast, went to 3 and was too slow. 5 looks pretty good though
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
I did it over from scratch and fixed it myself by adding more frames so it runs smoothly instead of just slowing it down but tnks tho lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yes - that's certainly the RIGHT way to do it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
yah... i hate laggy bootanimations... lol tnku for helping tho. I hit urr tnku button ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
Man you guys reply faster thank sonic moves across the screen lol. Thanks for taking your own time to help me out! I don't like the black bars around the bootanimation though...sorry dark_angelfighter17 :(

I actually used the youtube video as a simple reference. I wanted the best quality for each frame so I downloaded a Sega Genesis emulator, loaded Sonic The Hedgehog 2 rom, stretched it to 480x800 and recorded the screen with BB Flashback Express Recorder. I set it at 15fps. If you think I should up it 24 or 30 let me know...idk how you guys are testing it (if you can tell me that too that would be awesome!)

Anyway here's the new bootanimation I came up with. Tell me what you think and if you can please zip it for me that would be great. Thank you :)

As for the audio, either of you know how I can get that to work? I read in another thread that all you have to do is place the file in the same folder as the bootanimation. Is that right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudcat242000:
Hey guys I ended up making it myself and got the sound to work too!!! :) I'll post exactly how I did it later. It loops like five or six times though. Any way to reduce it to one or two times?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lazarus65:
Any way you can add all the bootanimations to the first thread with a screenshot? I just want to be able to see what kinds of bootanimations there are. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
There is a txt file inside the bootanimation.zip you need to change the numbers in it. I believe, if you read back a few pages in this thread, ull find how to

How could I get this to work on the MIUI 1.9.30v2 rom. I have downloaded the bootanimation.zip file. I can replace the old bootanimation.zip in my /system/media but that doesn't work. MIUI has its on built in theme manager and the boot animations are in .MTZ format. I can't seem to find a converter of the battlefield .png's to this .mtz format.

If you could help me out, many thanks and I would be greatly appreciated. I already am cause you made a battlefield 3 bootanimation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Thanks for downloading my bootanimation... I am looking into this right now... bear with me :)

EDIT:

I made you an .mtz file... so this should work now. You can download it here.

Grab it and put it into "/sdcard/MIUI/themes/" after that, you should be able to enable it via Settings>Theme Manager>Edit Theme>Bootanimation.

Unfortunately I have no way of testing it... so give it a shot and let me know if it works for you :)

~cheers
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Thank you so much, you are a pro. Testing it out now. Will let you know how it goes.

EDIT: downloaded the file, placed in /sdcard/MIUI/themes and set the bootanimation.

I rebooted my phone and just got a black screen for the bootanimation. Phone rebooted and is working. Just the bootanimation didn't show anything.

Could this be because it wasn't in the correct fps? I read the thread and saw that could be a reason to why they don't show anything. Or is it because its not the right resolution?
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Hello again... I can see a couple things being the issue:

Resolution - I have this at 480x800

FPS - though this one is set to 6fps

# of .PNGs used... I am kind of pushing the boundaries with this one since you are supposed to have less than 100 and it contains 212

But you were able to set the boot animation properly, yes? And what is your phone model?

Let me look into this some more :) I will be back with you shortly...

[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
I hate for this to be a problem for you. You don't have to worry about it if you're busy. I can wait. It's not a top priority thing lol.

Ha thanks for this. Now any doubts about my nerdiness can be resolved before my phone boots
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Ha... no worries shugga101... debugging is fun :)

Just trying to see if it is the # of images used, try this one... it is another boot animation... but I limited it to about 60... prolly still too much but we will see.

Let me know what happens... I will be back online shortly.

Are you talking about Starcraft II or Battlefield 3? Or possible none of the above :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
This one works now. Its very slow and seems choppy, but hey it works... Also its the starcraft one that you linked. But thats fine cause it still works. At least now what could be a possible problem.

I'm studying computer information systems at my college and I personally don't like debugging because I hate sitting there for hours to get something to work and when you do you realize how simple the problem was. In a perfect world, coding is perfect everytime.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Well... at least we have something to go on... I will try to make you a custom boot animation for BF3 with less than 100 images; it's gonna be choppy... BUT it will be BF3.

As for debugging... where I work I write my own C# applications, not because it is my job, but it makes my job easier... debugging my work-related stuff is definitely NOT fun...

Stay tuned... I should have this done tonight.

EDIT:

Alright... here it is... we are looking at 90 PNGs with a smaller size and a smaller render (lower quality). This should work. If it doesn't, you can try to step down the images yourself, probably in increments of 10. .mtz is actually just a .zip. To edit it, you can simply:

rename the file from .mtz to .zip

open it with any archiving program (WinRAR/7zip/etc)

navigate to /boots/bootanimation.zip/part0/... and remove as many images as needed (remove them in reverse not the 0001 0002 etc)

update both zips insuring NOT to use compression (WinRAR calls this STORE and 7zip NO COMPRESSION)

rename the top layer .zip back to .mtz

But hopefully... you won't have to do any of that, because:

~cheers
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Thank you for your work. It works perfectly. It cycles through once then like just a little bit of a second time when i reboot my phone. And the second time it ran smoother but that's typical.

Love it.

Thank you for the info on .mtz cause now I can try and make my own themes for MIUI etc. You've been very helpful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Glad I could help!

Good luck with your studies!
