Did not see a thread like this so thought I would start it.
long time reader first time poster was wondering if one of my betters could make a Mass Effect boot animation please.
@AcerSnowman..... There is a thread ("Publish your A500 boot animation efforts here") currently on Page 2 here. That thread deals exclusively with boot animations. I do not have a copy of Mass Effect myself, however if I have time in the next couple of days I will search around the web and see if I can turn up some images which I could make into an animation. If I do I will post it in the above mentioned thread.

hi all,
Not sure I'm in the right section... please move the topic as needed.
I'm a little bored with the traditionnal boot animation and I think I would actually like having the android log displayed instead.
A bit like when booting a linux OS with a verbosity 3 or 4, you know?
One of the earlier speedmod kernels did show some of this stuff (partition checks, etc) while booting, but it was replaced later on with the first boot image (Samsung Galaxy S, in white on a black background)
It would be cool to see all the services start and the phone actually boot until getting the sim unlock pad and the launcher..
Would anyone know how to do this ? -
Reminds me of the old WinMo days where boot animations were the sh!t
Please search a little bit, there are a couple threads already discussing it. I know it's possible to customize it, whether you can show logcat style output I'm really not sure though.
oh well, I thought I had searched ^^
will try again, thanks for the advice!

Doc's online kitchen now has tons of awesome boot animation choices in case you're still looking or didn't notice those yet
Edit* - Moving to correct forum... sorry about that. I didnt see an option to delete... if any Mod's want to - feel free.
Hey all,
This could be a quick answer or hopefully something more. First off, I appreciate you reading this - and all XDA does. It's really nice to see development for the Android system.. so thanks for sure.
Deal is, is that I have a Galaxy Tab with build something like gjj7 - I didnt write it down before the flash.. ugh. Anyway, the post i was reading was installing Clockwork Mod, and recommended the forum below (on XDA)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I used the CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3 because the thread talked about using the JPy file if your ‘Build Number’ wasnt listed.
Odin3 looked great - no errors, all green. Tab did not reboot itself though, just hung. I rebooted, and now it doesn't look to start. If i keep hammering away though, it will show the Galaxy Tab intro screen, but then stop again.
I've seen the battery logo come up a few times too - looked grey - though it was a full charge before the flash.
I did check a Google search and went through all the posts I could on XDA, but just didn't see what I'm looking for. Is it indeed bricked, or because it 'kinda works sometimes not really" is it gonna be ok?
THanks for any replies,
-Kenny
Two questions that i dont know the answer to .
One does the Galaxy Tab not have a forum as its not the SGS I9000.
Two does Odin actually work with a Galaxy Tab .

In the themes forum, there used to be a tutorial about creating boot animation.
The problem, is the file size. If you try and create a bootani from video, it will be honking big, and mega frames. So it would take forever I think, just to load.
Generally, most boot ani's run in 2 phases. 1. the initial ani. Then, because every device is different, a 2nd loop, which basically runs repetitivley, until the system boots. It's a fine line.
Try with an avi converted to what is essentially an animated gif. 5 seconds of avi, turns into 1000 frames.
And the bit depth...
If you can keep it to about 3mb, and 50- frames, then it's possible.
The boot animation you saw, was probably from Taboonay. If you open the boot animation.zip, then you will see how many frames there are. Probably 16bit depth. And you can get it in 4 different colors.
@Tib44 - The attached is courtesy of JaeKar99 who ported it for the A500, I believe from the Fascinate. I have amended it slightly so that it runs through 5 times before ending on it's looped final frame. JaeKar99 has written a HOW/TO treatise on building boot animations, I believe it was in July 2011 and it is posted in the "Themes & Apps" section. If you want to see further boot anims check on my thread in the "Themes & Apps" section, the thread is "Publish your A500 boot animations here". If you use this or any other custom anim, remember to save your present one or it will likely be overwritten and then copy the new one to either of these two locations.... (1) /system/media..... or (2) /data/local
@Tib44 - In addition to above if you want to capture any video from PC screen with a view to breaking it down into frames to build a boot animation, you could do worse than use the capture program "Frapps".
I have some bugs for the Express Rom, maybe someone can shoot it to one of the guys, since I cant post in the dev group.
In landscape mode, click (touch) on the "people" widget and the mail widget will open, if you have a widget next to the "messages" widget, touching the messages widget will go to the app next to it.
Also in Landscape mode looking at the People Favorites/4G widget, the 4G widgets need to be re-sized, as the white blocks are covering the people favorite apps (top left corner)
In "all apps", touch menu button popup you will see weather options, touch snowball and you get a FC
lol was going to post photos but cant do that either lol
how many to go till I can?
ok well those things are minor but thought I would post them
First, I would like to post this in the dev thread but like the OP I am in "10 post purgatory". I am enjoying the ROM - it is the 4th or 5th that I have flashed on the EVO and hands down the best.
I was a little scary waiting for the install to finish 30-35 minutes but patience is a virtue in this case.......
I am running the Express ROM 3.6.1 and had a couple of issues:
The HTC bookmarks uninstall/install issue I fixed by installing the apk posted in the dev thread with root explorer into the data/app_s folder and then changing the permissions to match the rest of the widgets in that folder. re-booted and re-installed the widget - worked perfectly.
The lockscreen apps/weather bug is still a problem for me - even after wiping 3 times, using the wipe.zip, and re-flashing. Tried various wipes and re-flashes and nothing worked, yes I followed the instructions posted in the dev thread for Personalize, Rosie, then Short Cut Lockscreen, then back button and power off, power on - waiting for the RC to fix this.
Have also had issues with ending calls that are answered from the lockscreen or originated in voicemail.
Also, haven't seen anyone else complain of this but the voicemail icon doesn't display the counter with un-viewed voicemails. The mail and messenger icons do have the counters however. Has anyone else seen/fixed this one?
I would love to see some options for modding the clock on the lockscreen - even if it just to change the color.
Edit: forgot to mention I installed the calculator widget on one of the home screens and it centers on the screen. After re-booting it moved to the upper right corner of the screen, uninstalled and re-installed and it goes back to the correct position - odd.
All in all, a great ROM - many thanks to the developers for all the work and the support going on over in the development section.
Hey,
The express rom is a great rom but just like many of the roms out there it is a WIP and the devs know that there all glitches and they are working their buts off to get us amazing roms because the evos developers just take care of us so much better then so many other phones and we are really thankful for them. But since they are still working on it we just need to give them time to work all the bugs out and when it is all done we will have one heck of a rom! We just have to be patient but that is the least we can do for out devs
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks!

As far as touching a widget and having the app next to it open up, that's what the OP for the rom is referring to when he says 'much resizing needs to be done'. I believe it's because of the resolution differences. Editing M10s is apparently very frustrating and time consuming, as this ROM (or variations of it) has been being worked on for roughly a year , since The_Platypus started it. (There was also someone involved at the very beginning, but I forget who)

sac23 ported the Flyer originally, I believe, and then justinswidebody was the first one who tried the Express (after my incessant begging, lol). The platty jumped on, if I recall correctly.
Bingo. Yeah, I remembered justinswidebody shortly after posting,....but completely forgot about sac23

only bug ive seen is the linking people together from my other accs ie facebook twitter tango..... btw dont get the themed one they suck because its someone elses style...so get 3.6.0 and run it with the anthrax og evo4g kernel...ftw
after 2 weeks on the ROM....
The install has started to become somewhat unstable - I am getting random FC's and screen lockups that require me to remove the battery and reboot. After it was first installed, it ran very smoothly except for the known bugs..
At some point I will probably go thru the wipe procedure and re-install to see if it happens again.
I did notice one other issue (probably a re-sizing issue) with the calculator widget. The display truncates in the portrait mode. It displays correctly in horizontal mode, but then the keyboard has the problem of when you push the far left or far right keys, it rotates the display to the next home screen......
one more thing.....
I guess I should re-iterate what I said in post 2 that I love this ROM (3.6.1 themed) and appreciate all the work going on in dev forum. I am just posting these notes because I know that work is ongoing on the RC release and I hope someone will stumble over here and see them.
So here is another observation - The Bluetooth link to the hands free system (Argos) in my MBZ has been acting strange for the last week. It always pairs reliably when I get in the car but it sometimes will not transfer the audio to the vehicle's system (even though the phone and the car both say they are connected. Lately, I have had to manually cycle the Bluetooth off and then back on to get it to work. I have run a few other custom ROMs and not experienced this. For sometime pryor to installing this ROM I was running the Kinged Shooter and then the rooted stock 4.53......
The Argos is Bluetooth 1.2 - not sure if that matters though.
Thanks again for all the hard work.
Hi everybody,
First of all I want to say that this is not the first thread about this but there is a lot of new comer at XDA since the SGS3 is(was?) the most sold phone in the world and a lot of people don't know about this.I could not find the old thread so I decided to just make a new one. EDIT: Original Thread can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735283 It's nothing new and (almost) all old users know about this.
Samsung wants us to see how beautiful Android can be, so a lot of useless features are turned on by default when you buy your phone. All these features takes Batteries / RAM and CPU. First thing all new android user should learn is how to turn them off.:laugh:
LET'S START!
Go in your phone Settings
Go to Developer options
Go to Windows animation scale -> Turn it off
Go to Transition animation scale -> Turn it off
Go to Animator duration scale -> Turn it off
***You can also turn on "Force GPU rendering" but SOME applications don't like that, so you can try it, but if you find you start having problem with some of your aplications, turn it off.
That's it! Now try your phone and see how much faster it is.:victory:
I can already see old members writing to say it does not make the phone faster, it only turn off the animations. Well for me the result is the same whatever the technical reason is. No (useless) animations = Faster phone
XDA is a sharing information forum so I'm just sharing. This info is intented for the new SGS3 user.
Thanks
Have a good day
<- Please don't forget to hit the THANKS button if it helped you.
useless!
i try this in my device and it give you a pretty sweet feel of speed
You posted a thread a while ago with the same thing. Why just bump that? I bumped it recently as well for folks who didn't know about it. Anyhow, it's a great tip.
