[BOOTANIMATION] Animated G2 logo boot animation

I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

Very cool! I like this because it maintains the stock look but is much nicer than the static boot image. Also not too goofy or flashy like others I've seen. Downloaded and copied to /data/local/ with Root Explorer, reported, and worked great! Thanks !

You can do it 3 ways... through adb, terminal, or root file manager.

Made this real quick while waiting to be unloaded. Tested and works. Put .zip on root of sd, open file manager (have su permissions and mounted as rw) copy and go to system/media, paste. Enjoy! "Rooted!!" will flash. I think it's cool so I share.Peace

That's not a bad idea. I personally like the T-Mobile version, but I can try making a version with an HTC logo. Any preference on color? Should the HTC logo be green or the same grey as the G2 logo? I should have time to make that later today.

If I put this in data/local, then choose to delete it at some point, will I encounter any issues?

Absolutely not . If you want to go back to the stock boot animation
just use root explorer to move the bootanimation.zip folder from
data/local back to your sd card , Reboot and back to normal .

New Transparent Google Market 2.3.6

Here's a nice version of the Google Market, based on the latest Market version 2.3.6. It has a blue theme with a translucent background, so you can see your homescreen wallpaper through the Market App.
Just over-write your vending.apk with this one. It's either in /system/app or data/test/froyo/system/app depending on how you installed Market in the first place.

Yeah, some parts didn't come out correctly. I pulled it from a custom CM7 rom, and the text background doesn't show on my phone, but on Archos the text color is inverted. Strange, but still better than the stock version.

maybe I am doing this wrong or missed at step but it didn't work for me. I downloaded opened with Astro file Manager tried to upgrade and it failed installation. I am nonrooted running stock Archos 70IT software.

You need root access to do this. You might be able to copy the apk to the data/app directory, or data/test/froyo/app, if you don't have root with R/W access.

seems pretty~ but any other color?

Probably somewhere, but all I have is blue.

Yikes... I can't seem to get this to work. I am rooted and tired using Astro but it won't let me replace it. Oh well! It sure does look pretty.

You will need to use Root Explorer or ADB to replace it. Astro doesn't use root permissions, so even if you are rooted, Astro is not.

Edit:I'll try root explorer.

Sorry, for gappinstaller it should be in /data/test/froyo/system/app

Yea,i placed the vending.apk in the wrong directory and it crashed the market,now i cant get it working again,it keeps crashing.I even formatted and reinstalled everything and still no go.

Um, you did a full reformat, and you think it still has something to do with it? There's no way. All you had to do was delete the apk that you put in the wrong place, besides, there's only a couple places you could put it that it would even be recognized.
Sorry for the trouble, but it's unrelated to my apk.

nice!
no more boring market!

OMG ! Thanks dude !
It worked ! OMG !
THANKS !
Hitted the "Thanks" button btw

I tried it, but when you open the detail page of an app, some fields are white. So I like the normal market more, but it's a nice idea.

Should be

libganril.so
libkineto.so
lib_htcril.so
lib_ril.so
EDIT:
Big whoops I thought this was one s not one x

Don't know why Tmo can't write a standard app for this, have it work like Skype does and ask if you want to call over wifi

Hey guys,
Backup your rom (nandroid) and test the link in my signature for wifi calling for aosp for sensation in my signature.
As far as i know everything should work for you, except mms.
If you get to have some issues - here is what you should do:
Use root explorer or adb to copy your libhtc_ril.so from /system/lib to your sd card. Follow the instructions in my signature. After that use root explorer or adb to copy libhtc_ril.so back to /system/lib. Just try that as a third option, aside from the 2 options in my signature. By the way, option 1 from the post in my signature shouldnt work anyway lol so just do the second one. If it doesnt work - third one i just told you. If that doesnt work eiyher - stand by for more ideas
Let me know if that worked out for yall.
PS - please note that this is ONLY for CM9/AOKP/MIUI(ics).
Good luck, and let the force and the wifi calling be with you lol

But...but...why would you do that to your phone?
Just playin (not really), just download the file in the sensation forum, the one for Sense, and follow step 3 from my little guide-wanna-be from my last post. It should work the same. The only problem might be with libhtc but if you get any issues with it - just restore your old libhtc and see if you still get issues.
Edit: dont forget to backup before you follow any of my advises

I flashed the visionwifi calling zip first, did the fix permissions thing. No luck
then i flashed wificallingics.zip and running fix permissions. No luck. Bootloop
Could you provide specific instructions? I copied the file to the SD as you said. I just want to make sure there weren't any more instructions i missed..

They can but you have to change a few files to make it work. A custom kernel that supports it is recommended. However if ur on a stock kernel,
Go to /system/bin/ and find the file called "samsungani" and delete it. Then find the file called "bootanimation", and rename it to samsungani. Place the downloaded bootanimation.zip in /system/media/

[Q] Trying to change water drop sound on phone dialer - failing

I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712215
Within that thread is a link to Nexus4 sounds, I've managed to change almost all the annoying TW nature sounds except for the damned waterdrop on the phone dialer pad. When I play the S_HW_Touch and TW_Touch oggs they play correctly, that is they're not waterdrops, but the dialer still plays the damn drop sound.
Am I replacing the wrong files? Any suggestions appreciated.

For the Doink sound in the dialer you have to decompile the SecContacts.apk and replace a file in the raw folder. I was able to do it this way. The EXACT file location is: SecContacts.apk/res/raw/touch.ogg For some reason just replacing it via a VR theme just causes the contacts to force close. So just replacing the touch.ogg for the dialer is not as easy as with the other touch sounds

If that doesn't work PM my your email and I'll invite you through dropbox.
Thanks for doing this, very cool!

Give me a few to upload it but I made a stock lk3 SecContacts.apk with it already fixed with a different tone/click sound.
Here you go http://d-h.st/8ee
1.Just download it and use Root Explorer to move it to system and paste
2. Long press and set the permissions to rw/r/r
3. Long press again and MOVE
4. navigate to system/app and paste
5. Hit yes to overwrite
6. Reboot phone
If you cannot do the above steps let me know and I will make a cwm flash able zip

Thanks that totally worked! This really makes switching to a different ROM less tempting. Question on that however, if I make a nandroid now with the custom sounds and restore to it I will have the same custom sounds? I know that should be the case but I just want to be sure.
Again thanks for making that .apk, very cool of you!

It is the SecContacts.apk for UCDLK3 so it is a complete .apk so it will only work as long as your using it on the same firmware. So if you switch to a different firmware it probably would not work. As far as performing a nandroid then yes if you restore a nandroid it will still be there. But if you switch to something like aokp,cm10., or another Sammy based firmware it won't work. One would have to be built from whichever firmware you are using.
