[Q] wanted: waving boot animation

I used to have a boot animation that I really liked - it was a black screen, with the green android robot appearing at the edges and poking his head up, followed by the nexus one standard 4 colours mixing.
Anyone know where I can get hold of a copy?

I think this is the one you want, just rename to bootanimation.zip and adb push to desired location, either /system/customize/resource or if you have already linked it, /data/local

[Q] Changing Sense load splash screen (white backround with green htc letters)

I'm trying to put a custom splash screen in place of the default.. (NOT the boot splash, black HTC Evo 4G with white background)(NOT the boot animation, yellow sprint 4G) but the one that comes up right before sense loads up (as described in the title) you can see which one I’m referring to by going to:
settings>applications>manage applications... click the "running" tab and find and click HTC Sense, then click "force close" button, and finally press the home button and there you have it.... Help me replace that and I will be very grateful to you... Thanks in advance fellow geeks!..

[Q] [HOW TO] temporarily freeze current screen to show others

I often find myself wanting to show someone a picture or current screen display, but when I hand them my phone either touching the screen or one of the buttons or making that gesture suddenly changes the screen, or moves the picture. Is there some way to freeze the screen on purpose so it can be passed around safely?
I know about screen capture programs (Screenshot, Shootme) and the screen capture built into some ROMs Power Menu, but those don't keep the resulting scene on the screen (one needs to use a file program to find the graphic, which is clumsy and time consuming).

I agree, i always give my phone to my relatives or friends and they always press the back or home button somehow -.-!

One solution , would be to use a transparent lock screen with a very small unlock toggle ...
Lock it , hand it to them ...

Screenshot would do

This sounds just right, but is there such a lock screen available?

I have that program, and it works well, but after taking the shot one needs to recall the complex name and directory, and once found the viewing program has all the buttons active. I have a shortcut to Astro opening in the directory, but even with a half dozen thumbnails, it isn't clear sometimes which one I want to show. I don't see any option to freeze the view.

I don't have the link, but search around , there are some threads on transparent lockscreens ...
Not sure but you may be able to do it with just a transparent .png and setting that as your lockscreen background, but that is just a guess ....

New splash screen?

I just rootet my phone with Oxygen and my splash screen annoys me. It show is the "Unsecure Kernel" splash screen.
Are there any places where there are some cool splash screens to the Galaxy S2 and perhaps a relatively easy way to install them?

Not really what I was thinking about.

There are two kind of splash screens when booting.
Firt the unanimated screen followed by an animation screen.
On a rooted SGS2 you can change both screens using market apps BUT your kernel also must support it.
To change the still splash screen i use "SGS2 Bootscreen Changer" by Hellcat.
To change the boot animation i use "ROM Toolbox" by Jared Rummler (JRummy16) (Interface -> Bootanimation).
Hope i could help and greetings!

which splash screen are you talking about? If your talking about the "Samsung Galaxy S II" one with the yellow triangle then you need the usb jig to get rid of the triangle, once you have gotten rid of the triangle you can then you can change that first screen with the above mentioned app (sgs2 bootscreen changer). If its the animation one you want to change however, that's simple enough. there are heaps of forums giving you step by step instructions with new ones to download. You just need a root explorer, i like ES File Exporer

[Q] Setting the default homescreen on the One X

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is something really silly and simple that I'm somehow missing, but I'm unable to change the default home screen on the HTC One X. Is this not supported on the stock ROM without installing a 3rd party launcher? I'd really like to be able to change the default homescreen. When I say default, I mean the one the stock launcher takes you to upon pressing home.
I've tried looking all over but haven't found much. I'm guessing the feature exists because when I zoom out of my homescreen, one of the homescreens has a home icon on it, but I don't know how to change it to some other screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

have you tried to get all the homescreens on the screen together and just press the one you want and move it around? what i mean you get all 7 of the homescreens together. if you press on one you can move it in the order you want..so you have the homescreen the main one in the middle the one with the home icon well you can move it to the top and that will be like page 1 starting from left to right.. hope that helps

I understand what you are saying but I think you are misunderstanding his question
if I have 7 screens and say for instance I want to make screen 6 the home screen how does one do that (so that when you press the home button it will go to screen 6 and not to the middle screen [current home icon])
I have searched for this feature as well to no avail

Move all the features that are on screen 6 to screen 1. Duh. You're thinking in reverse. Think forward. Best o luck to ya.

I think you got it backwards that is alot of PT simple put how do you make another screen the home screen
it was simple with my Moto Milestone you just selected "make this the home screen"
I am thinking this is a limitation in Sense 4.0
not a biggy, but fundamentals are missing

Solution?
I might have a solution. I accidentally changed my home screen so everytime I pushed the Home button on the bottom it went to the wrong screen. The way I fixed mine was doing a restart from the screen I wanted to be the home screen. Once the reboot was complete, my home screen was set correctly.
/update Nope, somehow it randomly got changed again, tried what I thought fixed it above, doesn't work. This is stupid, obviously there is a way to change it, shouldnt be this difficult. I have exactly 9 days to return this phone, I am considering it with all the issues I've had.

I just saw on the SGS3 review that the home screen can be changed easily….
Each screen as an icon on it when in fan view. One is designated as home, to change, just click the icon on the screen you want to be home. Whatever tiles/widgets/apps are on that screen, its still home.
With the One X, you can have any of the 7 screens as home but the tiles/widgets/apps move with the home page (by dragging the home screen around and changing its order)
The only way to do it would change home screen and then manually change all the icons/widgets after
