Yet another boot animation.

This is a simple image morphing from android to a honey bee.

I am not an artist nor a designer :p, just want to share creation for our phone.

Positive feedback are welcome.

Screenshot: (background image is bluer on P500 than this screenshot)

I don't think it is necessary, but to be safe, do nand backup before doing following steps:

get attached file

reboot to recovery, choose 'Mounts', 'Mount /system', and 'Mount /data'

connect phone with your pc

on your pc, open command prompt and check where original file 'bootanimation.zip' is located

try 'adb shell ls /system/media/bootanimation.zip' or 'adb shell ls /data/local/bootanimation.zip'

type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/system/media'

otherwise, type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/data/local'

reboot

1. Touchdown for tablets is great for email.

2. Some sites might not have updated their pages yet.

3. Apple always gets the third party love but more and more products are coming online everyday check Amazon

4. Being this is Google's flagship devise you have to believe this will be supported with updates and the file types should change
[Xoom General] richardjr:
OK, first off, I agree with alot of what you have said, your right the software is a bit buggy at this time, again at this time. What you have to consider is that that this is an android device, and by that I mean it does not have all the overage that alot of companies put out on top of the overall software that make it look nice and neat, to include custom apps and infrastructure, but this also means that it is much easier to update. Half the time lost between when an actual Android update comes out and the time it takes for your device to get that update is due to all the crap that the company puts on top of the original Android infrastructure.

Give it a bit of time and I am sure that most of your problems can be worked out to you satisfaction due to them being software and not hardware problems.

Also take into account that since Motorola chose to use this clean interface it makes it much easier to modify by the hacking community , which is definitely something that an iPad cannot due.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Any CPU/GPU can play video so long as it supports the right codecs. Have you tried transcoding to a supported codec?
[Xoom General] codeman05:
Well said.

+1 for Touchdown. It is fantastic for exchange, I use it on both my Evo and Xoom.

If this wasn't a Google Experience device, I'd say your complaints would carry more weight.

However, Google has always done a good job of keeping their GE devices updated and at the forefront.

This device only just came out, I'm fairly sure they will get things handled fairly quickly.

As far as the apps/widgets go. This is still a new device and platform. All android tablets are going to suffer from the same right now. However...again... this issue is largely due to the limited time the device/platform has been available. Within a few weeks...I'm sure we'll see a lot more apps/widgets (even the ipad had limited selection out right). Just think of what it'll be like in a couple of weeks/months with more custom apps/roms/kernels etc...

I had buyers remorse for the first evening...not for any particular reason...and now I can't put it down. Not to mention my wife (who has an iPad), won't shut-up about when she is getting her Xoom ;)

So I would say hang on to it, but that's just me. Do what makes you happy ;)
[Xoom General] ixobelle:
I've come to the decision that I'll be taking mine back on the 13th day.

I've tried to really give it love and get use out of it, but tablets just don't really fill any niche except "web browsing on the couch".

I'm a sysadmin by day, and although I've carried the Xoom with me every time I step away from my desk, it just hasn't served a single purpose on the job. I had imagined it would be neat to dial into servers using RDP, but the interface is just horrible. I'm much better off just dialing into the server in question at any desk I'm in front of. I'm never more than 8-12 feet from a desktop machine, so there goes that.

Pulse news reader is basically the killer app, but is hardly worth 1000 (799 + tax + extra charger + 129 protection plan against drops for 1yr + case).

Motorola certainly hasn't won me over on the price especially considering I prepaid for it on the first day I could (at two different best buys just to cover bases), and then people who *DIDN'T* do that had a chance at 200 dollars off that was honored in the end. Ridiculous.

I had intended to pick up android development for tablets eventually, but I can hold off and stick with honing my Python until these come way down in price or offer some more functionality.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
That's too bad, this has taken over as my laptop and let's me have a mobile office so to speak
[Xoom General] richardjr:
For RDP I use Remote RDP light and it works credibly, but if your looking for true RDP functionality then you have to have a mouse and keyboard, and guess what, you bought a tablet with a touch screen interface, you can buy a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you want, but that just means more devices to carry around. A tablet, any tablet, will not be the proper interface for RDP, it can't, it is not a PC with all the perifials. A tablet, as far as RDP is concerned, is a device to do what you have to do when a PC is not around and a cell phone is impractical. As a network administrator I can do some of the emergency things that I need to accomplish while out on the town with my tablet, reading a book, surfing the web, commenting on a blog, watching a movie, all without lugging a laptop.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Yeah, unless you wanted to leave the mouse and just use the tablet as a touch screen with a keyboard your better off with a laptop. But like you said in a pinch its tough too beat
[Xoom General] Usmc7356:
Keep the tab. U will love it in 6 months when everything is revamped
[Xoom General] ixobelle:
I don't imagine I'll walk away and never look back, but now I know what they're good for (and not good for) and when the price wars drive these down to 400ish I'll scoop one up again. : /
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Not all tablets are create equal, and sometimes it takes having one first hand to validate all the information out there and how it applies to your situation
[Xoom General] gogol:
Return your Xoom and buy it in 6 months for cheaper price :)

Or probably there will be a new kind of better Honeycomb tablet at that time.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I downloaded the free version of Touchdown this morning after reading this thread. Could you explain to me why it is so great? I haven't had time to use it extensively but maybe you can quickly list some advantages over the stock mail client?

Thanks!
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I understand your frustration and you ultimately need to do what makes you feel most comfortable. Most of your issues are software related and you know things can only get better with updates. Google has a lot riding on Honeycomb so I expect updates to come fast and often.

1) The Tegra Processor - Seems like your issue is not with the Tegra but with how the codecs handle Divx. Software update could fix this but also developers can do wonders.

2) The Browser - Software update again. The browser is a great starting point and, with some minor tweaks, will be fantastic.

3) Accessories - As more Xooms sell, more 3rd parties will have a business case to make accessories for it. I'm thinking that when the Xoom wifi and Xoom for Europe are released (indications say that will happen at the same time) then we'll see a flood of new 3rd party goodies.

4) eMail - Software update. ALTHOUGH, I'm not 100% sure this is a priority for Google. People complain that they wish the AOSP phones went a step further with their Exchange implementations. Still, the chances are you'll be ok moving forward.

5) Widgets - This is a microcosm of the entire app market right now for Honeycomb. Devs need to start updating their apps with Tablets in mind. Again, more people owning Honeycomb, more reasons for devs to get on it.

The point I'm trying to make is the only way for the Xoom to go is up. As more people buy, more attention the aftermarket will pay to it. If previous Android versions are any indication (and they are,) this is a snowball effect. It'll just get bigger and bigger.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
As to the RDP: I use the XtraLogic Remote Desktop app and it works wonderfully, completed designed around the touch interface.

Between Remote Desktop and ConnectBot, I've found a million uses for this as a sysadmin. I don't know how you haven't found a single use for it.
[Milestone XT720 General] hjutt:
I have a Wind Mobile Motorola XT720 and I was following this tutorial to install Dexter's Froyo for XT720:

youtube . com / watch?v=KvU1CptOe14

I was at the 10:40 mark when it prompted to wipe all the data. I was not ready to do that yet, so I skipped that step and proceeded to Reboot the device. Now, when the phone turns on, it goes to the Dexter's XT720 Froyo loading screen and it says loading for 5 seconds and then the screen goes black for a few seconds and then the loading screen pops up again. It stays like that forever. I need a way to get out of this. I can access the Boot Loader menu but thats about it.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Hold the volume up while powering on, that should take you back to open recovery. From there you have to do a wipe data / factory reset.
[Milestone XT720 General] hjutt:
I did that but it gives me a screen with a yellow Exclamation mark inside a white triangle with a picture of a phone in front

Edit: Well Open recovery popped up! Ill see if wiping the data fixes it.

EDIT 2: Thanks alot! worked like a charm!
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
hello, a few days ago I checked into this forum, just bought an XT720, and these days I've been reading about changing the ROM, and I need your help. I am a rookie with all this in adb and codes. Right now I have some doubts, I hope I can help and not cause inconvenience.

To change the ROM need my phone is in the following conditions

Factory Refurbished (yes or not)

Partitioned SD card (yes or not)

then do the following

1. root access

2. install OpenRecovery

3. Restart phone

4. Nandroid copy the folder to the root directory of the SD (which is the root directory?)

5. the SD mode is NOT part of Mass Storage space

6. OpenRecovery run

7. Installing a Recovery (how?)

8. Recovery Boot Press

9. Restore backup "stock22xxxx" (I guess it's a file that I have to download called Stock221v13-bugfix-1)

10. Clean factory reset

11. Restart

Doing all this, my phone already have 2.2.1 running Froyo

Another question I have is whether to funcioanr all applications, for example, gps, telephone, 3g, HDMI, cameras, sensor, etc.

my phone details are as follows:

Version S / W STR_U2_01.1E.0

Firmaware version of the 2.1-update 1

GAS_ASIA_USAS config firmware version and various numbers

Kernel version 2.6.29-omap1

be compatible with this ROM?

I have to make some modifications to ADB codes?

Thank you all and sorry for so many questions

Greetings from Guatemala

(Google Translate)
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Someone can confirm me?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
no need to partition the sd card

just watch the tutorial video

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943368
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Factory Refurbished -Yes

Partitioned SD card - it's not necessary unless you want to use the apps2ext feature

then do the following

1. root access

2. install OpenRecovery

3. Restart phone

4. Nandroid copy the folder to the root directory of the SD (which is the root directory?) the top directory of the sdcard

5. the SD mode is NOT part of Mass Storage space

6. OpenRecovery run

7. Installing a Recovery (how?) Run the install option in the System Recovery app

8. Recovery Boot Press - Another option in the System Recovery app

9. Restore backup "stock22xxxx" (I guess it's a file that I have to download called Stock221v13-bugfix-1) - If in step 4 you if you copied the Nandroid folder to your sdcard this is the option you'll see in Nandroid >> Restore

10. Clean factory reset

11. Restart

Doing all this, my phone already have 2.2.1 running Froyo

Another question I have is whether to funcioanr all applications, for example, gps, telephone, 3g, HDMI, cameras, sensor, etc. - I believe the only two (minor) issues are that the gallery button (next to the shutter release) doesn't work & the volume buttons don't function in the FM Radio.
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Thanks! will initiate the changes, I think the volume buttons on the radio does not matter, I've never used, the gallery button does not matter.

One more question, sorry for so much trouble, you can make a nandroid bacukp my original ROM 2.1 and if something fails or was not happy, I can return to the original eclair 2.1?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Yes. When you go into Nandroid >> Backup you'll want to select all the partitions except Baseband, Bootloader, Logo & Device Tree & then backup selective.
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
ok, Thanks for the help, already done. In theory it means that I have saved my Eclair 2.1 ROM if I wanted to return to it?

After backing up nandroid gave me the following message:

cdrom: Generating MD5 ... done

ext2: skiping

Now I have a question, do I have to uncheck Baseband, Bootloader, Logo & Device Tree.

Greetings!
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Friends Thanks for your help! Already installed Dexter's ROM V 1.3, I will start with its use and I will be discussing. It really is not difficult, it is the first time I do something similar, but with the help of you and what I've read in the forum and the tutorials I was not complicated.

Greetings!
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Why should not make these choices? could someone help me? I am about to upgrade to the second patch for the Rom of Dexter's v.1.3, stock221v13-bugfix-2_signed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12152371 # post12152371 , and I want to nandroid back if something does not work, in order to restore the phone after the first installation of the ROM v.1.3

Open Recovery will error out on those partitions. I haven't had any problems restoring a nandroid with out them.

Thanks! I encourage her to do this backup, update with the second patch, and hopefully not have problems.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ghorrocks28:
I have and HTC evo and I tried to root it following the guide i found at gizmodo that claimed to be idiot proof, but apparently its not. I followed all the steps exactly as it said but after step 22 i could not reboot my phone to normal.

when i boot it using the power button, it gets stuck on the white screen that says htc evo 4G, but doesnt go any further no matter how long I wait.

I can still get into the boot menu. I ran the PC36IMG.zip and i came back with three errors. it bypassed the bootloader, it came back with Fail-PU on the Radio_V2, it skipped the first TP and after sometime Bypassed the second. Also, at the bottom it displayed the message: Partition update fail! Update Fail!

After this, when i try to reboot, it brings me back to the same white screen displaying htc evo 4G.

please help as much as possible, i really need my phone for work and school as soon as possible.

-thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Hello all

I'll be getting my first smartphone in a week (the Inspire 4G of course) and I had a question regarding family plans.

When getting this phone I will be buy a data plan also; no one else on the family plan will have data, just me. I know the data plan will be $15 a month extra for just my phone, not anyone else.

My question is, will there be any "other" costs that will be added to the plan, just for updating a phone, or for getting a smartphone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
You will have an $18 upgrade fee, but thats about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:

internet and u will have the other phone 9.99 etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
There are no additional costs for a smartphone other than the required data plan.

Yep, just the data plan costs per month, and the one-time upgrade fee (unless you complain and they take the upgrade fee off your checkout).
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Ok great, so just to be sure if there are extra charges, they were put there without my consent?
[HTC Inspire 4G] denco7:
.........and taxes and 911 fees and other misc. crap, but data does not include texts or tethering, those are separate plans. And the $15 plan is only 200Mb. that goes really fast. My 14 year old uses almost his entire 2Gb from the $25 plan every month, just diddling around at school and with his friends FBing and tweeting even with WiFi at home.

i got 200 MB

im no where near going over

but im on wifi at least 80 % time
[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Thanks for the help, I'm not too worried about the 200mbs. I'm always around wifi and when I'm not the most my data would go towards is a few emails.

Sorry for the stupid questions but please bear with me...

First of all i have my epic with an deoxeded eb13/ rfs/ with genocide kernel and i want to put SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 on my epic.

However i have a few questions:

1) right now i have an epic with clockwork 2.5.1 i think and rooted it with

oneclick 2.5.5, so i dont have ext4... so i was wondering if i could still flash

this rom without much problems

2) i heard that there is a nasty bug that wont let you charge your phone while

it is off with some phones with clockwork 3.0.0.6 (or something like that) and

ext4... and i was wondering if that was the case with this rom?

On a side note... does the can't charge while off bug affect all phones with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and ext4?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
You have.to use the one.click root with cwm6 and boot onto it so it can convert you filesystem to ext4. Then you can.flash the syndicate rom. That rom seems to be.the.only one that has the.problem with the phone.locking up when turned off on charge. I'm on bonsai rom and it doesn't do that.

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] for_ever:
wait so bonsai with ext4 and the new clockwork on eb13 works fine and doesnt have this problem with the battery charging? -thats the only reason why i havent converted to ext4
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
1. You need to odin to eb13 using the eb13+ext4 odin

2. Yes. You cant charge while the phone is off (you can while it is on or locked)

3. It does effect all roms

Steps for eb13 syndicaterom

1. Download odin and ext4+eb13 and follow those instructions

2. Before booting into clockworkmod (vol down, power and camera), load syndicaterom onto the sd card

3. Boot into cwm, it should do alot of gibberish. When it is done, make sure the text is orange

4. Wipe data/factory reset. Do this three times

5. Wipe cache once

6. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik once

7. Go back and go to install zip from sd, go to choose zip from sd and choose syndicate, choose yes and wait for ot to finish

8. Reboot and have fun!
