[Q] Trouble making a boot animation - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Moment/Epic/Nexus1/NexusS Ringtones

First I want to thank to ptfdmedic for posting the zip for the Nexus S ringtones!
I haven't seen this yet, and I'm kind of a ringtone whore. I made myself an updated zip with the tones from the Moment, Epic, Nexus 1, and Nexus S.
Just thought I'd share it in case anyone else would like it.
I removed all of the personal ones I've thrown in over time. If I missed some I apologize!

Fixed the script, so it should be good to go!

Ah. It might not be clearing the dirs properly. I'll take a look at it in awhile.
I checked it out. It looks to be an issue with the naming of the new files. For example I have
No_limits.ogg
the zip adds a file called
No_Limits.ogg
leading to duplicate ring tones. There are quite a few of those and a few rings that are faulty for whatever reason and don't make any sound. Overall it's a nice zip but you may need to go through your system/media files to remove dupes. Still, I really like the new notifications sounds.
Thanks!
Yeah, it's because the script isn't clearing the folders properly before it adds the files.
I renamed them all to be "uniform" because I'm kind of a freak about that. I didn't get time to fix it last night, but I will tonight for sure
I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.
Thanks, been lookin since the rom I'm usin only came with 4 rintones

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

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.

XOOM light sensor screen lock/unlock

Help!! Haha i had seen an app a while back that some dev had made where the XOOM could lock upon light sensor being covered and awakened when uncovered but i can't seem to find it now! Should of just bought it back then. Anyways if anyone knows of it or a different similar app that uses light sensor info would greatly be appreciated thanks!

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

I was able to install it yesterday from the link I posted. The apk is there under the market link and video. I decided against using it, but you can give it a try.

I've done a bad thing with my homescreen. Any help is appreciated.

Ok... I made a mistake.
Playing around cleaning things up after flashing new rom (venom, viper) and deleted two orphan data files through Titanium. Normally I'm pretty careful, but threw all sense out of the window... didn't look what they were...
Turns out they're pretty important, as now my home screens look like the attached (I hope they're attached, I'm on my phone)
Anyway, everything works, including the icons where the dead space is, where they would usually be along the bottom... but theyre just not showing.
Should I just reflash the whole rom, or does anyone know what the two orphan files are that have sent my home screens out of whack...
Any help would be amazing.

If you reflash the ROM without wiping it'll put the files back. Without erasing data unless the ROM auto wipes.

looks like a LCD Density issue to me,
You could first check the LCD Density in the Venom Tweaks maybe you canged something there..
otherwise just reflash the rom without wiping data

Personally I would just flash the rom again, I wouldn't delete anything to do with sense either.
If you want a senseless rom then go Google edition, removing bits at a time will just end up with something broken, it also looks like from the screen shot that you may have a 4x5 screen, could that when you removed whatever it was that you removed it messed that up too.
Reflash, no biggie.
Just wipe cache and dalvic.
Looks like you're having a bad day Cheer up

What is the purpose of those two files anyway? I've noticed them in Titanium Backup, listed as "orphaned data".
Nope.... I deleted those files but just fixed it with the LCD density, as suggested above. I don't remember playing with it, but I could've knocked the slider when going through the tweaks.
Anyway, glad not to flash again and reset settings. Thanks all for your answers and not just calling me a douche

Final Fantasy V

Has anyone gotten this game to load? I'll touch the icon to launch the game, it'll sit there for a minute and then exit back to the home screen. No error message or anything. I sent a customer support email to Square Enix, but who knows how long that will take. Thought maybe someone here knew of the problem and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Exposed is actually the problem. The newer square Enix games check for it and don't work if it is found. Not really sure why they do, but it started with version 1.0.3 of final fantasy dimensions, and it is also present in all versions of IV and V. You have to disable all modules and reboot for it to work.

I actually want to get the game on another device without re-downloading it. I bought the game on my phone because that's the only way I could get it charged to my AT&T phone bill, but I really wanted it to play on my Nexus 7 tablet. I just can't download the whole game again because my wifi sucks at my house. I don't have xposed on the Nexus, but I have Titanium Backup. I transferred the 3 TiBu files from my phone to my tablet and even the obb folder and put it in the obb folder under Android. I then ran Restore App + Data on the tablet. Now, whenever I tap the FFV icon on the tablet, it just hangs for a second and then goes straight to the home screen. I've used TiBu many times before and the method I just described has worked for every other app I've transferred from my phone to my tablet. I'm just confounded why it won't work with this app. Any other suggestions? You've already been a big help!

I think it has to do with the extra data the apply needs to download on first run. Titanium backup will backup the apk and save data, but it doesn't backup the usually 100+mb obb file stored on the sd card.
You could copy the file from:
sdcard/Android/obb/ com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP
to your computer and then transfer it to your other device and it should work.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I did that. I have the folder: com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP in Android/obb and in that folder contains the 140.43MB file: main.105.com.square_enix.android_Google play.FFV_GP.obb. I also have the apk.gz, properties and tar.gz files in the TiBu folder. I then ran Restore App+Data in TiBu. It then goes through the install process and then when it's finished, I hit Open, the screen goes blank for a minute and then exits to home.
Like I said, I've done this with many games and apps before and it's never given me problems like this stupid game is right now. Who would've thought it would be so hard to try to relive a small piece of my childhood?

Do you have xposed installed?
Fix I found for it to work
I have had the same problem stated, Xposed installed and FFV black screen and returning to home screen.
Xposed is the problem, the fix I found is to move Xposed as a system app and any modules.
Works for me.
Had the same problem. The game worked fine stock ROM but stopped working i flashed the ARHD custom ROM for HOX+ loaded with exposed. Coudn't fix the issue. Now playing it on my DHD.
