So first off I know that the smasumg decided to turn all the boot animations from zips to qmgs. Which has made it impossible to install custom boot animations.
I also know that qmg files are owned by some company, I forget there name, and I assume that its a very expensive program because they don't list the price of this program on there site.
I assume that qmgs are compressed archive file of some sort and it contains all the pngs of the boot animation.
Then I got to thinking. That there has to be some decompiler or emulator of some sort in android or dalvik. Can this be?
Has anybody been able to hack or decompile/decompress these qmgs yet?

No

Thats exactly what I was thinking, that Android must have a decompiler or a way to read these QMG files.
Unfortunately, if you wanna decompile the qmg files, you'll have to buy a program that does it, and it's not cheap.
Good Luck

We've all looked for it. It's available at a corporate level, for purchase. Not a single program known to end-users have the qmg format. I've looked all over for it. Most people replace qmg for a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip
I'm guessing this program doesn't work then?

I have a small problem that i wasnt able to solve though i read all the possible forums and sites for the last three days. So here is it: our browser isnt able to upload files. When i try to upload something for example my files for UOT it opens something called upload but it says no files found. Is this a folder where i must put my files for uploading? If so, where is it? If no, is there a way to enabling these uploads thingy?
Please help. Thank you very much.

I've had some problems uploading some time ago. I think the issues was that the file manager was returning corrupt file addresses with too many slashes. So either try installing a different file manager, double checking that the address is formatted correctly or moving the file to upload to the root of the sd-card.
Think this may have something to do with the flash installed on the phone. I am not sure if the flash on the phone supports all the features that is supported by the desktop version of flash.
just do the uot thing from your computer instead.
I did my UOT from my computer of course buy it seems stupid for me to have a smartphone that is able to do almost anything and not one simple thing like uploading a file

My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright

It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!
I need the files for the default kindle fire launcher so I can help port it for other devices and if you don't have it how do I obtain it
Do your research. There is already a thread regarding the KF Laucher port in the dev section. There is no need to open yet another thread.

Ok this is the Apk from the stock kindle firmware
If you get the files you need, how long would it take a certified hacker such as yourself to complete such a port?
probably going to need a lot more then just the apk. could probably just download one of the stock Roms on the forums and extract the zip to get all the files you may need. It would be nice to port over a few more stock apps into other Android versions. I personally have spent more than a few hours trying to get the stock email and contacts app working on CM7 and is not as easy as I thought it would be. I also suck so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
The APKs are encrypted. You cannot just go into it, pull out code, and easily port it over unless you decompile them first.
It's just garbled junk when you extract it.
The OP has no idea how to do this, and it's already something someone else is currently trying to do and even they're having a few issues since it's pretty much just images and fancy shader plugins that make up the entire thing. Not even the bookshelves themselves are images either.

question?
How am I able to extract Roms and then push files from the extracted Rom to my device? Just curious as I do this all the time. Nothing major, did this with things like the bootanimation.zip from cm9 and a few apks from zips of Roms for my phone. Most would not install if I just put on sd partition and hit install but for example I am writing this on the stock keyboard I took from the prerooted stock 6.2.2 Roms zip. Extracted the zip to my desktop, used that qadb thing floating around to overwrite the file with the same name in CM7 on my Kindle and was able to use the keyboard after rebooting. Like I said just curious, do understand it's not always as easy as putting an apk in a directory and rebooting but I use files from extracted Roms all the time.

This is an educated guess, but I think it has to do a lot with whether or not an app is tied to the framework, or to the specific device ID.
Its not that hard i downloaded the email client from the kindle fire on my xperia play all what i did was go into root explorer and make a copy of the apks on my sd card

Stumbled upon a really nice app today while rummaging around the play store. Basically, you can change your boot animations on the fly by downloading various zip files through this app, re-sizing them, and that's it. It allows you to modify your desc.txt file through the UI for the image to screen sizing. Please be aware that if you do not check to resize the image, you will likely go into a boot loop. Know what you are doing when you do it to avoid issues, and any bootanimation.zip you download and install, check it's resolution.
Here is a direct link to the play store. Highly recommend the paid version of this as it allows previews to the boot ani.
Have fun
App is by jrummy, same guy who does ROM toolbox.

Downloaded and wanted to make a backup of my stock bootanimation but the backup function doesn't seem to work. Any hints?
Edit: Figured it out, needed to browse to root/product/media for installation location and give the app root access. Gonna give it a shot now.
Edit 2: was able to make a backup but app is unable to install new bootanimation.zip no specifics
