Holy sh*t that's sick as hell! Awesome work! Will def replace my BIOS one
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Download is posted :)

I hope to increase resolution of image and make a bit clearer... When i tried full 1280x800 images bootanimation.zip was 50mbs....

any ideas on how to increase resolution and maintain small file size?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] AndroidFileHost:
Send me the 50mb version :D lol Does it work still at that size?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] manthedan211:
great job! the stock loaded boot images are horrid. looking forward to the high resolution one when you have it!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Try JPEG instead of pngs. Or use pngs at a lower resolution. Upload the 50 MB one so we can play with it. :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
I'm out of town this weekend but will post 50mb one when I get home tomorrow
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Btw. What's up with all the props and no ones hit the thanks button? Come on guys :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
thanks I'm using this as a boot animation now
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
There's no thanks button in the android app else I would. I'll have to visit next time I'm on my PC. I rarely go to xda on my computer anymore.

EDIT: just found the browser button. :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Did some testing last night on the better quality boot animation.

The one currently posted is reduced to 512x320

I tried one last night at full res 1280x800 (jpg) and was only about 15mbs...

when i tested it seemed to start okay but played very slow and only got half way through. sometimes it even boot looped. i had to press all 3 hard buttons to reset and get back up. i test the fps at 24 and 14. Also tried reducing all images over 100kb to less by compressing.. got same results... i have not tested full res pngs, but i remember trying that the first time i tested and got same results im getting now..

its like the xoom cant process the images quick enough??? Any help?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Here is the link to the 65mb full res (png) boot animation

http://www.mediafire.com/?ndj9z4qc258gchz

i have not tested, but let me know if anyone can make it work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
i think the prob is that its too long... But i can see shortening it up. Its only 10 seconds now. All other boot animations ive seen (there are many) have less than 70 or so images. mine has 152. you would think the xoom could handle it.

Any help? would really like to get this full res and correct speed
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Updated with a much better quality version.. Also tweaked it a bit

RE:2.2/Froyo pulled?

Hello,

All the speculations and rumors about the Verizon 2.2/Froyo update being pulled are false, I assure the update is still coming. We are working to make the Android 2.2/Froyo upgrade available to all Verizon users as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Twitter:@SamsungJohn

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the words of Peter Griffin:

"Bull (pause) Crap."

That is all.

IMO
[Fascinate General] phooky:
i just don't understand why that thread had the be locked.. (and stickied!)

there is no new info in that, and it just says the same exact thing that samsung has been telling us since october: froyo will be here "soon" :rolleyes:

is samsungjohn really that scared of our responses?
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
That is why I opened this one. I'm in a ranting mood today so feel free to add your frustrated comments.
[Fascinate General] vudiff:
We have froyo & don't want their bloated version. They need to work on & bring us the latest OS
[Fascinate General] phooky:
i for one would love for them to release their bloated version (even though i wont use it!), because that means we get KERNEL SOURCE!

how i miss my BLN, voodoo sound/colors, undervolted/overclocked kernels!
[Fascinate General] micdawg12:
Well.... I had high hopes when he came a long. But, It has been too long, I will NEVER buy samsung again. It has been confirmed that I will buy HTC from now on. They are fast with updates, and well over all a better company. Buy Sammy, I am going to get rid of this POS phone ASAP.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Yes, Samsung is creating Froyo builds for our phone and sending them to Verizon just for fun, and neither have any intention of ever releasing it. Get real, they may be stupid, but they would never put resources into something that's never getting released.
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Wonderful phone but no more Samsung for me, too... I had the i920 and was always waiting for new releases. fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me....

jv HTC here i come!
[Fascinate General] worwig:
I won't say never, but.......

I bought my device with the OS it had, I don't really feel that I am owed anything else. BUT, The GPS was a fail on mine until I loaded the leaked 2.2 roms. It would take many minutes to lock, if it ever did lock.

This phone charges at about a 300ma rate on USB, and at about a 600ma rate on a high rate charger. Using it in a car as a GPS (bright screen, constant processing) consumes closer to 1000ma. So, while on charge in the car as a GPS, your battery is going dead. That is a failed hardware design.

After using the phone for a time again as a GPS in the car, the buttons (back, home etc.) start blinking and any apps close down. The phone becomes worthless. I need to unplug it, pull the battery and let it cool off for 10 minutes or so before it is useable. VZW and Samsung say 'don't use it like that!'. What? My previous HTC phone would do this for days on end. More hardware fail.

Needless to say, I am not overly impressed with the Samsung hardware or the software. Like I said, I'm not going to say 'never', but this is wearing thin...........
[Fascinate General] theGross1:
I'm a little pissed because when I bought the phone from verizon I asked the rep if if had 2.2. She said, "no all our phones ship with 2.1 but are all have froyo updates that you can do from home." We should all get free thunderbolts for our troubles.
[Fascinate General] FDro:
She didn't lie to you. You can get 2.2, from home, when they release it.
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
I love how my desktop doc user manual says "The audio line out jack will be fully functional upon the release of android 2.2 for samsung galaxy s phones. To update your phone to android 2.2, visit samsung electronics web site at www.samsungmobileusa.com."
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
+1 for free Thunderbolts, although I have my eye on that new LG Optimus duel core.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
It's telling that even the rumors have died down. A couple months ago searching for "fascinate froyo" would pull up speculation and rumors galore. Now, nothing pertinent. This is long past a fail.

I'll decide what phone to get next based on what there is at the time. But both Samsung and Verizon will be at substantial disadvantages in the comparison.
[Fascinate General] midnight93933:
OK now that sammy said so here it has to be

soon

NOTthey have said that it would be coming for seven months. We already have froyo, and ton of roms
[Fascinate General] SnrSuave:
I know we have Froyo already, but how about a version that doesn't have battery destroying wakelocks? I am still looking forward to an official release that will hopefully be less buggy than the Froyo we have now.
[Fascinate General] iviustang50h:
At this point Froyo is meaningless, as it's been seven months since it was promised to be out "very soon." Having source would be great, but it's too late for Samsung; epic fail. They had better redeem themselves with a surprise (and quick...as in ACTUALLY QUICK) Gingerbread release instead of Froyo, otherwise they will lose a ton of customers, including me.
[Fascinate General] spotmark:
With Samsung, it appears to be one jerk job after another. By the time they roll out 2.2, a lot of us will be ready for another upgrade, and guess what, we're going to think long and hard about buying another Samsung product. I like my Fascinate, but only because we have the leaked 2.2. If I was still on 2.1, I'd most likely be using a different phone by now.
[Fascinate General] iviustang50h:
You said it! Heck, we'll all probably be on different phones by the time Samsung releases Froyo, because our TWO YEAR contracts will be up by then. :rolleyes:
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
We want a bloated Froyo so that we can get source code! That's what has been holding us back with development! I'm so sick of all these empty promises. "You'll get Froyo in September. No wait, November." "Er, we meant, before the end of 2010!" And as 2011 began, "it's coming soon!" 3 months later, it's the same empty promise of soon, so they send John to post here and attempt to keep us at bay. Samsung can shove it. It's completely unacceptable, and I am so tempted to submit this to the Better Business Bureau. We can't even use accessories that we purchased a long time ago, because we still don't have 2.2. This phone should go EOL and we should get free Tbolts, as someone said earlier. These are unacceptable practices, and I'm pissed about it. I don't know how Samsung is getting away with it.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
Bought a TB yesterday....love my fascinate and all of the great devs, and I will keep my fascinate to play with, but plainly put Samsungs cesspool of software totally ****ed up a phone that still to this day has amazing hardware....

PS...I already miss the super amoled screen :( but the overall product is 10x better...the TB just works...

And yes I'm typing this on my fassy while my TB charges :)
[Fascinate General] JoshDB:
If anyone has luck complaining their way out've this phone and onto another, newer one on the cheap, let me know. ;) Not planning on buying Samsung again.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Or a free Galaxy S 2 as a replacement(with no contract extension) instead.

EDIT: I'm submitting a complaint to the BBB right now, and everyone here should do the same.
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
Think long and hard about buying a samsung product? I'm thinking long and hard about dropping big red. If LTE wasn't the future I would have probably left already. Monopoly, thats what its called, and big red knows it. Why be good when you are bigger than the other guys. AT&T has only survived this long because of the iphone.
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
Its just wrong, its like when you come home from school one day and your parents tell you your dog ran away but he'll probably come back. So you sit outside waiting with his empty leash in your hand and you walk up and down the block called his name but he never comes back. And your parents keep saying he'll show up soon, but they know d@nm well that your dog got hit by a car and he's dead.
[Fascinate General] MADDAN18:
LOL. Such a heart warming story...yet oh so true :-/
[Fascinate General] theGross1:
Fascinate froyo is like a girl who never says no...they dont exist. If you want it to happen you have to make it happen
[Fascinate General] royalewihcheese:
While Samsung's support has been beyond disappointing, and really convinced me not to buy their products in the future (I chose a laptop last week and did not consider Samsung models that came up), taking it out on SamsungJohn is not really appropriate. Unless it can be proven that he's had full control on whether to release Froyo all along, it's not his bag.

I'd be interested in some show of support from Samsung in the form of replacement phones, or Gingerbread nao, but honestly, it would have to be some shock and awe type stuff to change my mind at this point. The phone is hobbled, compared to what it ought to be.
[Fascinate General] wideopn11:
Nobody is taking anything out on SamsungJohn, he's probably just some PR guy doing what he's told, but since he posted here and decided not to take comments I took the liberty of opening a rant/complaint/opinion thread for me and others to vent. I am fully aware that no matter how many people complain it will most likely have no impact on samsung or verizon and I doubt they have any intentions of trying to win us back.
[Fascinate General] ashasaur:
SamsungJohn posted and locked and stickied his thread because it is simply an announcement, and not meant for discussion. 2.2 is coming AT SOME POINT, but we do not know when.

On that note, this thread adds nothing except further discussion that 2.2 is taking forever and is redundant so...

SHIELDS UP!

RED ALERT!

Since installing RC2 & after my wifi signal seems to be lower than it was. I can be right next to the access point & have full signal strength then just walk away 15 ft & it drops more than half. Any way to really calibrate or fine tune it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, best you could do would be to re-flash RC2, or my better suggestion would be to flash to the latest nightly, as they incldue fixes for gps, wifi, and other things.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m03sizlak:
You do realize that a "bar" is not any type of unit of signal strength measurement? Basically cm7 uses different thresholds for number of "bars" displayed. The signal strength is the same.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broncop3t3:
I compared with a co-workers EVO and anothers G2 and their # of bars was 2x higher than mine. So if that is not indicative in CMod7 than that's fine. I just wanted to make sure that the wifi was still functioning correctly. I wish there was a wifi diagnostic I could run.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Yeah. Have the same problem on Nightlies 19 but if you say the strength is the same then I guess it isn't really a problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broncop3t3:
Just wanted to show an example.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeast614:
no i agree...whenever im on a sense rom or MIUI i have almost full signal and im 20-30ft away...but ever since ive been on CM7 i can be standing or sitting in the exact same place and i'll have one signal bar and sometimes it'll even lose almost all of it's signal for a few seconds...the only time its at full signal strength is when i am right next to it...i just assume it's something with CM7 that still has to be fixed...but i definitely notice a speed difference between 2 bars and one
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
As stated above, use the latest Nightly. Works fine for me. Especially considering I can pick up AP's on the opposite side of a commercial building.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshnaomi:
I am able to download a game, install it, and click on it. Then the screen goes white and nothing happens. I'm sure I did something wrong when I installed gingerbread. What can I do and how can I switch to a different android build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Have you tried downloading other apps to see if your Gingerbread build properly loaded them? There are some apps that currently are not supported by Gingerbread and maybe the game you tried to install is one of them. In regards to switching to a different build. The best way to install is to look at the build you are interested in loading. They should provide you with step-by-step support in the process. There are RAM, SD and NAND builds currently available and each has their own way to load. So check the build thread for the install steps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MT00321:
HISTORY

Purchased an SGS from HK through Chinese version of ebay...taobao. Phone worked for a week then wifi stopped. Read several places, seemed the only option was a factory reset. Performed the reset. Wifi works however the phone service stopped immediately after factory reset

Have tried to flash with JPE FW and JPG FW, nothing brought the phone service back. The SIM works in another phone. Have re-seated SIM many times to ensure it is properly installed.

CURRENT STATE

PDA: I9000ZSJPG

PHONE: I9000ZSJPG

CSC: I9000OZSJPG

Build Info: Tue Feb 8 12:07:00 KST 2011

Firmware 2.2.1

Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [deleted last part, forum sees it as a link]

Network unknown

Service State Out of Service

Mobile Network State Disconnected

The phone shows both IMEI and Wi-Fi Mac Address

No network automatically show in the mobile network settings page

When Network Operators is selected it doesn't find anything

Instead of bars at the top I have the circle with a diagonal line through it

In the pull down menu from the top is shows my carrier but says (No service)

Cannot connect to Kies

QUESTION

Taking the phone in for service in China is a joke. If I can't get it working I'll throw it away. Please help me fix it because the phone was a lot of money to just toss. Is there any additional information that would be useful? Can anyone offer some ideas that might lead me to a solution?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MT00321:
I don't know if it is a Chinese clone. If it is then I think it is a good one. I've been in China for a few years and realize that everything is fake so you must try hard to get the real thing. I didn't buy the cheapest phone of all the ones available in hopes that it would be real. Having said that, it didn't come in the original unsealed box. I was hoping that the reason was the vendor took all the stuff he could resell... spare battery, original hands-free headset, original software CD, etc. It did connect to Kies once before so that convinced me that it was real. Perhaps I am wrong.

I have not been able to find a CSC online that is noted as specific to China nor can I find any references that say that China uses a different CSC than the "ASIA" CSCs listed on samfirmware.com. I am continuing to search the interenet to see if I loading the wrong CSC.

[Xoom General] GhostOfTheNet:
Hi folks,

Strange question I know, but...

I've ubuntu maverick on my Xoom(chroot), I need to patch the kernel and recompile it, and I prefer to need not to connect it to a pc just for this one stupid step. Instead i would like to be able to run fastboot flash boot blabla directly from my xoom shell or just remount a drive and put the new kernel there.

Thanks
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
On the Evo, we use a binary called "flash_image" to flash recovery from a terminal emulator. However, i would be careful on trying to flash boot.img booted up. but if you're feeling brave, give it a shot and let me know how it goes :D
[Xoom General] Blades:
There's a separate binary called tegra_flash_image. It works on my gtab for flashing recovery.
[Xoom General] GhostOfTheNet:
Ok thanks, i'll try. When i do a failure, i can reflash with a clean boot.img from pc so there should be no problem. I'll tell you what happened, but i need to wait until the tiamat kernel sources are updated. Maybe in the evening.
[Desire HD General] JoBu34:
I'm using:

Revolution HD & 4G2.0.14

Froyo 2.2.1

Kernel 2.6.32.29 Buzz Sense

Note: This requires a read/write capable file manager, like Root Explorer or Super Manager. Rooted phone, Radio off, etc. I didn't break it you did, all that jazz. To it:

Wanted the animation found HERE for my boot screen, but couldn't get it to work as noted (original thread for EVO users I believe...) but after some fails, figured it out.

Instead of placing the zip in /system/customize/resources as stated, place the zip in "/data/local" to replace the current zip.

Then reboot. Should work for all Sense ROMs, where the "/system/customize/resource" fails. Cheers all.
[Desire HD General] LawAce:
Will this remove the annoying T-Mobile boot screen I get as well?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] JoBu34:
Yeah, it loads straight to the animation. Sometimes I still get the htc splash screen for about five seconds or so, but I think that's only during a soft-restart.

It should, but I can't say for certainty. If you want to test it first, just rename the old file bootanimation.zip.back - then place the new file and test it. If it doesn't work the way you want, delete the new file and rename the old one back to its original state.
