[Q] Trouble making a boot animation

I'm currently done making an alternative boot animation for CM7, but I just can't get it to show up on my phone.
Here is the .swf for what it is supposed to look like (unlooped)
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1296673506
I also attached the zip of what I have. If anyone could go through it and give me some pointers on how to make it work it would make my day.
Thanks.
Update: I changed the filenames to what I thought was correct. Still getting a black screen after the nexus logo. Phone boots fine though,

How did you zip the file?
You have to use a non compressed format...
I'll play with it, and see what I can do.

It's most likely compressed. I had no idea it wasn't supposed to be, makes sense though.
I'll do that and let you know.
It did the trick. Thanks.
Only thing is that it doesn't take up the whole screen. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Update: Thanks, managed to fix everything.

Great!
...I got distracted!

Columnar File Manager 0.1.2 Released 3/27/11

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bauxite.columnar&feature=search_result
UPDATED 3/27/11
Mostly just bug fixes, and file operations should no longer block the ui.
0.1.2 - fixed a rotation bug I introduced
It's my first app ever, so be gentle
Post any bugs found here and I can fix them, any comments are welcome too!
It doesn't support modifying root files, but it will eventually.
Thanks!

Cool! I'm downloading right now to check it out. Thanks!

Definitely a good start. Very clean and intuitive. One bug I found is after going a few folders deep in the sdcard, then using the back button to get back to / pressing the sdcard folder again doesn't do anything.
If a press another folder and then press sdcard it works.
I can give you logs too if you'd like.
Also, there is a typo with rename in the tool box. It shows "renam-e"

Thanks, I will look into that bug.
The rename icon is supposed to be cute.

this is great thanks for this app. This is pretty much the type of file manager I've been waiting for.

nice! Now you just need a smb client so we can drag from shares to our Xoom.

I have now permanently given this app a home on my device. Can't wait to see more features. Please ask if you would like to see anything specific tested out!

excellent
Thats a great app. Thanx for putting it together and sharing it with us.

This is great! Thanks.. How about file renaming functionality?

It's got that, open the Tool Box and drag the Rename icon to whatever you want to rename... it's a tad buggy, it may not show it being renamed right away until you reopen the folder.

Has anyone here had issues opening the app after first installing it? I got a one star review (probably the first of many) that said someone had issue with it.

It is planned, however I want to ensure the file operations are rock solid before enabling it. The last thing I want is something to go horribly wrong on someone's system folder.

Problem I'm having is with the Market download. I'm unable to download the app to install it. I can download other apps yes.

Installed it today, installed just fine. Seems to work ok, good start and thanks for posting. I like the look, fits in well with honeycomb UI.

Very nice! Just installed and it works fine.

Will be trying this today. Very excited.
ASTRO betrayed me, the week I paid for it, it became abandoned (though three Android versions and eight months later, Metago still claims its not abandoned and updates are coming)

Bauxite:
First off, a very nice first iteration!
Now, the things that "appear" to be missing which are keeping me with a copy of ES File Manager - feel free to tell me if they are in here and I just didn't find them:
1) Zip File Extraction into a folder named the same as the file (except for the .Zip of course)
2) Rar File Extraction into a folder named the same as the file (except for the .Rar of course)
3) Ability to see my shared drives on my home LAN and copy files back and forth
4) Integrated Image Viewer
Anyone familiar with scanlated Manga will understand where this list comes from

Looking forward to new updates

Anyone care for a Faster 3D gallery.apk, Credit goes to bosina in vibrant forum

Ok, I was browsing the other SGS forums like I usually do and I stumbled across this. So I downloaded it and was surprised just how fast it was.
I have alot of images saved on my phone. From my theming stuff.
This gallery loaded all of them in under 15sec. My original gallery took around 2min to do the same. Anyway check it out.
I take no credit as I didnt create it, I simply found it. I will upload link to original poster if/when I can find it again... I know it came from i9000 gingerbread leak.

I just pushed it and you are not kidding it is way faster. Nice Find

Just downloaded and it makes a big difference. Opens the gallery and folders instantly. Thanks!

This may be a stupid question but does this improve the media scan at bootup?

Nope, just faster load time for the gallery. Awe...some, thx!

I don't know if this is happening to others, but when I open an image then hit the back button, instead of taking you back to the gallery it closes the gallery. It does load a bit quicker.

I know this is a noob question, but here goes: I have never attempted to adb push anything since I always just flash things through CWM. How would I go about pushing this to my phone? I downloaded the android SDK(do I need to download anything else?)

Im pretty sure this is the same one that's included in.the comm rom. I.have about 500mb of wallpapers on my sdcard and they load in about 5 seconds with both of them.

Weird, but it actually seems slower to load than before. But does anyone know if the old Gallery let you set a specific lockscreen wallpaper separate from the homescreen wallpaper(long press image-more-set as)? If so, I never noticed. If not, cool new option!
Edit: reboot helped speed a lot.
Edit 2: Set as lockscreen wallpaper doesn't seem to work... So as far as cool new option goes, not so much.

dammm ive never saw this post lols.... media scanning ive herd also? for media scanning you guys have to get a init.d fix... search for sd speed and it should show upp..
btw bringing an old post is good... others can enjoy lols

Jesus its a gallery on crack! Definitely Impressed
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

sorry to bring this from the dead,but would this work on the g1 or should i hold off? the apk size definitely seems a tad larger then what i see in the g1 roms.

Is it as fast as QuickPic?

Lock & Unlock MGS Codec sounds.

Just some codec sounds I found then tweaked to be quite a lot quieter for phone use and changed to .ogg format (originals are included in case you want to alter them yourself).
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1219291954/codec_open+close.zip
To install them you can use an app from the Market called Lockscreen Sound Change.
Forgot to add, this requires root.
Or you can install them yourself.
The locations of each file are
Lock.ogg
Unlock.ogg
at 'system\media\audio\ui'
You can probably replace them using Terminal commands (haven't tried it myself), or you can add them to the ROM before you flash it.
Hope this is of use to anyone, I think it really goes well with the on off animations.

These sounds awesome. At the moment I am using a transformer, transforming sound as my unlock sound and reversed it for my lock sound. They're longer than these tones but still good, also lowering the volume makes them bearable for longer lol
Good work on sharing these and i'll probably use them when i get bored of my transformer ones.

Can you please share the transformer tones, please.

But my cousin loves transformers and it'll really be sweet if you can hook me up.

Build. Prop fix for cyanogenmod?

Just discovered the market won't let me download my gameloft games. Googled it and it seems I need to change my build. Prop. I really suck with terminal commands, anyone got a cwm flashable idiot proof fix?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

Looking for a fix as well. Surprised a definitive answer hasn't been posted yet unless I missed it. One Guy posted his build.prop but I don't know exactly what to change

Well I imagine someone eventually well help us out. I'm going to keep googling in the meantime. I found someone who had the issue on the vibrant and someone had a new build.prop to give him and it worked, but he didn't say how to install the build.prop. Just said "Swap this one out with your old one"...and? How exactly do I go about doing that?

It can be done with root explorer

No terminal commands needed.
Get a root file explorer
Navigate to /system
There you will find the build.prop
Open that with any text editor, or copy it to your sdcard and use NotePad on your pc. It's just a plain text file.
Once all edited. Save and reboot.
Make sure your system is mounted r/w or it won't let you change anything in that partition.

Cool, so I have another stupid question : what do you change the build.prop too?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Kind of depends on what ROM you are running and what in the build prop is incorrect. Sometimes when running i9000 roms your build will be written to reflect your phone as no longer being an I897. It happened to me many moons ago. Luckily the rom thread had an updated build prop posted. Search for the Market Fix apk in the market. That allows you to change your signature that the market views your phone by. You may also try Market Enabler there's a few different versions to choose from, just a temporary ID changer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Ok but what do I change EXACTLY to have it recognized by the market as a Samsung Captivate? And why don't these cyanogenmod developers fix this? It's a common issue why ignore it? Arghhhhhhh I'm getting irritated. A guy on the cyanogenmod forums said to use root explorer and change manufacturer to samsung and model to nexus s. I did that and only freaking difference is my XDA app says I'm using a nexus s. The market is still the freaking same and i even freaking cleared the cache and rebooted. Yeah I'm irritated. Just bought Modern Combat 2 and can't play it because of this stupid problem!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Finally figured it out, the stuff I was told to change has nothing to do with market access, changed 4 other entries to "GT-I9000" and that fixed the problem. Wasn't mad at anyone just frustrated

To get everything to recognize it as a Captivate you need to chang eANYTHING that says Gt-i9000 to SGH-i897 and anything that says galaxysmtd or something like that to captivatemtd or whatever stock shows it as( I cannot remember what stock shows at this moment). But if you make these changes then xda app and the market and anything else will recognize it as a Captivate
