Tired of the old Sprint Ahead animation...replace it!

This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!

you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.

Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E

how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?

can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything

Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.

I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.

use total commander

worked great thanks

Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.

Deck1
Deck2
Just copy the pegcards.96 to your windows directory or install the cab file

Deck 2 works like a charme
Thanks
Can someone see if deck 1 works to?

Gee...what made you try out Deck 2 over Deck 1 first?
But yeah...I'll try both of them....

lollll it's nice idée, thank you very much

I dropped the dll in my windows folder and then even restarted the phone but it was no good.
I noticed that the current dll in windows is pegcards.dll and not pegcards96.dll will that have something to do with it.
Maybe I have a different version of solitaire.
I'm using a T-Mobile Wing with Aserg's Rom v12

thankssssssssssssss

I have these on my fuze and enjoy these greatly, but one quick question. Is there anyway to get the cards separated just a hair? You know like once they are flipped face up.
For example in the top pick. The 4th row from the left, the queen, jack. ten. Is there anyways to get the cards separated just a tad more so you can see the under lying cards better? In this case the queen and jack symbols.

Much better then the standard.
Keep'm coming!
Do you have an tutorial ready yet?

Any chance of getting a VGA version? I like deck2

Can you post a VGA pegcards.dll or PM it to me i will try when i get time
Also someone asked how this was done well you need a few tools all availible on this forum (Unsigner,signer,reshacker,search for file suite
1:
Remove any Attributes from the Dll you want to edit ie.. read only,hidden ect..
This can be done easily in windows by right clicking the file and unticking all the file attribute boxes
2:
Next you must Unsign the file you want to edit! Just go into the Unsign dir and drop the file over UnSigner.exe.
A Command Prompt Window will popup for a short time, saying the file is now unsigned! (if this fails go back to stage 1)
3:
Now you can edit the file make your changes to the Graphics or Text.
4:
Now you must resign the file open siggner.exe. Then choose the file you edited and take the "SDKSamplePrivDeveloper" Certificate.
Press "Start sign process" a text file should be created with the name of the file you just edited ,Read this text file to make sure the file you edited was signed successfully
5:
Remember to replace the attributes (read only,ect...) for the file you edited make sure that you do this stage last and not before trying to sign the file or your signing will fail
Thanks to schreda for putting together all you need in one package

Are you on Windows? You have to reconnect your Desire and enable Mass Storage to see it.

Works great, very nice one dude!

My fault, i had put the files in the folder on my sd card.

It's really nice!

if u modify the autorun.inf on the icon part to say icon=whateverfolder\HTC Desire.ico
e.x ICON=resource\HTC Desire.ico
Then you can have the icon in whateverfolder you want, and it will still be read when mounting the device (if your like me and dont like more than neccessary in the root directory of the SD card.

here http://iirojappinen.deviantart.com/art/HTC-Desire-icon-163467079

mmm.... seems that when i copy the autorun.inf and ico file to my sd on the desire.... it deletes the inf file!!!

Thanks for that tiny but nice icon mate

Same here.. if i disable and enable mass storage the .inf file is gone

maybe anti virus software delete it

Don't have such a thing

Its the same for me, even if I make the file read only....

Yeah, it has nothing to do with antivirus s/w ...... my antivirus s/w didnt quarantine anything, or flag the autorun.inf file.... i even disabled the av... and tried again... same issue...!Oh well...

Simple but very good idea! Working well on my desire! Just used the alternative icon with the display on and looke awesome! Thanks!

Thanks ! looks great now and with a personalized name

Tried this a while back, autorun.inf just gets deleted from the SD card when I enable Disk Drive mode.

Absolutely great taste, A+

Same here, since I upgraded to Froyo using the HTC update with sense it kicks off the *.inf from the SD-Card, saaaaaad.
PS: I have no antivirus or else active by the time I tested it.

Installing stock ROM from shipped-roms.com?

I went to the download page at http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision and there are a bunch of .exe files there. My computer (Win7) was originally installed in Chinese, I have since changed it to English. BUT the installer detects Chinese somewhere in the system, and displays all of the install menus in Chinese, so I can't read it. What do I have to do to install? Is there a set of screenshots anywhere so I can follow along? Does the .exe just dump installer files on your system, or just write directly to the phone over USB?
I'm returning the phone for warranty repair as there is an area of the screen where the touch doesn't work. Anything else I should do? Do they check to see if a cooked ROM has been installed, or if they see it's stock, just proceed with the warranty? I suspect I'll get an entirely new phone.

Saw it, but the roms from the linked site are not Asian, can't use them.

The exe extracts the rom.zip and the tools to flash it (adb, fastboot) to %temp%, you could go there and flash the rom yourself, or you can just click next on the exe a bunch of times, with your phone plugged in, on fastboot usb mode.
-Nipqer

Why do I need my phone plugged in? I don't want anything to install, I can't tell what it's doing. I just want to extract the files.

You shouldn't need your phone plugged in. Just open the exe,so it extracts to %temp%, then drag it out of the way so you can find the rom.zip

I finally got it to display in English. Here's what the installer screen was saying (that I couldn't understand as it was in Chinese):

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to proceed? I'd rather extract the files and flash using clockworkmod than use this weird installer.

well you can't flash an ruu through recovery so use the installer or find a pc10img to flash through hboot. make sure you are to flash the proper stuff or you will have a brick

Install apps over ADB
Install apks on any Android device running any Android version over ADB!​
Hi all,
From a long time i was fiddling around with a problem of installing/downloading apps after installing a new ROM.
Thus i came up with an idea of a Batch File to install all of your apks from your system
to your phone in a few tips and taps. Hah! Found my solution .
How does it look?
To see some screenshots, please click below.
Tested on
The script had been tested on Nexus 5x, Nexus 5, Moto G4 but should work on any android device.
Downloads
Google Drive - Here is the link to Drive.
Link Below - You can also find the file below.
Installation instructions
Prerequisites
1. Platform Tools for Windows (ADB),
2. APK files,
3. Target phone connected to PC and
4. A cup of COFFEE or TEA as you like it.
Process
1. Download it from the attachments below or from the drive link above or here.
2. Copy the file to the ADB folder.
3. Execute the file.
4. You can either place your apps in "D:\Apps" folder. (Sllloooowwwww.....)
OR​Change the folder location in batch file itself. (Requires some Coding Skills)
OR​Batch file will ask you to change the location, if required. (Easy Installation, Pick Me!)
Troubleshooting
I don't think it's needed. But even then if you get any problem do write. I'll be happy to resolve it.
Enjoy, and also don't forget to write anything (Good, Bad or Thanks etc.)!

thank you so much if works like a charm!

Been locking for something similar.
Is it possible to take that script to next level, and make it as, a list of apps, and for them to be downloaded on the phone. I mean give order through ADB for each apps step by step, instead of folder, to be downloaded.

how to add online option like google drive folder in to the script
