[Q] V for vendetta Boot animation for DS5 - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I am new and for the first time tried to make a boot animation i checked various links but somehow doesnt quite seem to get it right.I have attached the zip file of the video can anyone please make a bootanimation for DS5.
Really appreciate your help.cheers

First, you need to get a better source. This FLV file is a widescreen image compressed to 4:3. Ideally, you want the DVD to source from.
In any case, assuming you have the DVD you need to rip the chapter of the DVD that has the dominoes into AVI format using a program like DVD Fab, then use a program like Video To Picture to convert the AVI into a series of PNG images. Delete the images that you don't want to keep. Finally, you need to use a program like the Bulk Rename Utility to rename all the remaining files into sequential order (001.png, 002.png, and so on). One optional thing you can do to reduce the size of the file while not appreciably impacting the quality is to resize each of the images. From there the tutorials on creating boot animations should help create the ZIP file.

Time to play VOB files (DVD) in your hands!

Hi, I searched a lot, to find a way to play VOB DVD files (mpeg2) and FLV files in my HD2. Here is how I did it:
1- download TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4.1.CAB then install it.
2- download TCPMP.zip and extract it to the tcpmp's installed folder, and overwrite every thing. (This pack includes my own collection of plugins)
3- copy and paste your vob file to your storage card. Now you can change the extension to mpg, or you can set TCPMP to play .vob by a file explorer like resco or total commander.
NOTE: the skin files witch are included in this zip file, are compatible with wvga screens (hd2). to load the correct skin you must download a compatible version skin for your own. I found this skins good! (iphone skins) you can download them in a zip file.

If you couldn't play vob files in your device, I don't have any answer for it I just did the same in some hd2 devices and an Omnia without problem.
Thx,i try it right now
does it work or not!? tell something...
doesnt work on my tilt2
Didn't work for me either and I have an HD2. It now doesn't say it can't play mpeg2 but there is a load of green lines over the image. FLV says video not supported by codec.
I have tried associating VOB - opens but green lines and dual picture
I have tried renaming VOB to MPG - opens but green lines and dual picture
I have tried MPG (mpeg2) - opens but green lines and dual picture
I have tried FLV - Video not supported by codec
ROM: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE

Use Raw FrameBuffer or GDI, or set the direct draw to RGB, the green lines must be fixed.
my flv files are flv1, i don't know about other versions of flv. try open a flv file by navigating it through tcpm open file menu.
Thanks that worked but unfortunately I can't view some of my other videos now and TCPMP sometimes just closes itself when I select a file it doesn't like. I'll have to look at ways of getting TCPMP to include all codecs that I need but I just don't have time at the moment Thanks for the files though they did work as you had explained but not as I had wanted.
I've also noticed with the process of removing my installed version and installing this version then removing this version and reinstalling my old version I've lost about 15mb of storage. Probably a poor uninstall process for TCPMP or I am doing something wrong.
kevlah, would you email me one of these videos you cannot play with this tcpmp? let me check if I could find proper codecs.
and also one of those files that cause tcpmp close itself.

[Q] Restore Zero Byte File?

Hey Guys,
I recently recorded a video about 4GB with my Galaxy S 2 (mp4 file format with h.264 codec)(stored on the device aka internal sd). I'm pretty sure the video worked fine until I copied it onto my netbook which ran out of battery at 95% of the copy progress...
Since then, the video is listet at zero Bytes on the device.
The not fully copied file on the netbook is filled with Hex 0's at the end (where some important data is stored in mp4 files) and I'm not able to watch a single frame of this video (tried with VLC, Virtual Dub, some "fixing tools") (but the file is still in it's original file size)
Does anyone know a way to restore a zero byte file on android 2.3.4(/w su)?
I've got ~95% of the old file to look for and the exact original file size, but I don't know how to read raw data from the hdd.
I think the file system should be ext3 so as far as I know I should look for the lost inodes to restore the file.
Can anyone help me out or is there a tool out there for problems like this?
Thanks

[Q] .pls/.m3u woes

I have a problem with my mp3's on my harddisk, or rather, the problem occurs when I try to copy them to my phone (on the sd-card if that matters). My cd's are ripped and for each cd, the is a .pls file indicating the order of the files (the files are not prefixed 01, 02, etc.).
My problem is that I have found no player on android (S2) that can use my .pls files (they are just text files with 1 file on each row, relative path) and the .pls file is placed in the same folder as the mp3 files. Then each cd has their own folder.
I have tried winamp, poweramp, builtin prog, video players and more. No program can understand the contents of my .pls files, but many do accept .pls files. How must the files be built in order to work? (format)
I have also tried with .m3u files and .m3u8 files, but it is the same story as with .pls.
I am at a loss. How do I transfer playlists from my pc (.pls or .m3u) to android?
Also, why is it that winamp cannot even see my mp3 files? Is it because I place them om the SD-card? It only finds a couple provided by Samsung.

You might give AudioPlayer a try.
- free version has ads, but runs ok without internet connection
- available on SlideME (direct download apk file, no google account needed) or Market
I tried AudioPlayer 1.10 on Android 2.3.6 (Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2). It will read m3u playlists with relative paths, whether opened directly in player or passed from file manager.
Playlist editing is limited. You can't view the list or reorder items, but you can remove the current item. Saving a changed list seems buggy. When I saved right away in the directory that comes up, I got relative paths. But when I back out some levels and come back to that same directory and save, then I get absolute paths that begin "../../../../../../../../sdcard". So it seems like it works best if you already have your playlists made.
I also tried renaming the m3u list to .pls (and added .pls as a playlist extension in player settings). This .pls list worked if the player opened it directly, but not if I went through the file manager.
For now, I'm keeping it as one of my installed players. It is simple to use. I like it for what it does. It has multiple seek buttons (you can set the time interval) which are handy for navigating long sound files. And it opens the now obscure RealAudio format for me, once I added .rm .ram file extensions in the settings (though this decoding might be dependent on hardware).

[Q] Language settings, JP audio w/EN subs and text, Final Fantasy IV

Hello all. I recently bought Final Fantasy IV and was disappointed to find there was no language setting in the game that I could find. Ideally, I would like to play with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Launching normally under USA locale plays English vocals and subtitles. I was afraid that the Play store variant would only come with English audio, but I found by changing my Nexus 7 language settings to Japanese, that it would in fact contain and play with JP audio and JP subtitles. I can't understand why , this being the case that there isn't an easy in application language switching option that I can see.
All the components are there. Does anyone know how I could somehow edit the files to play JP audio and English subs? Copy the JP audio track to the English version of the game seems the most straightforward , if I could figure a way to do it. Anyone have ideas for this process? Programs I will need to unpack the apk or game data and edit what needs to be etc...? Thanks.
To th ebest of my knowledge, it appears that I'll probably need to unpack the .obb file somehow. The .apk is small. Does anyone know of an suitable utilities to unpack and repack/sign if need be .obb an/o .apk firles?
I've seen a few posts on the forum suggesting that I simply rename the .obb to .zip, .rar etc... and it will simply be able to be extracted. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case. I've been attempting to use 7zip to extract the archive with a number of renamed file types and every time it claims that it doesn't seem to be a valid archive etc.... Others have suggested 7zip works for this in other cases, but I'm not sure why it is failing now. Do I need to use a specific program to see if it is a valid archive?
Edit: I also tried with WinRAR and to no effect - the same problem where it reports that there is no archive present etc...
At the moment I'm trying this with an edited/sideload ready version of FFIV 1.2.3 (which has both the .apk file of a few megabytes and the .obb of a few hundred megabytes), at least until I can pull the exact copy off my device. I'd really appreciate any insight. What do I need to open/extract the .obb and why is it not appearing with 7zip? Thanks.
I'm going to try and get another copy of the files from another source (pulled directly from my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4) onto my Windows PC etc...

Huh... I'm not sure how to help you too. Just a simple beginner. But using .zip or .rar worked for me. Just that the file names were all long and weird. Also, every file appears as a .file extension
open obb file
Hi,
did you tried to open *.obb using "jobb" application from Android SDK?

MX Android TV box firmware repacking/rezip

Hi guys im a noob to the forums and to rom customization in general looking for some help
I have a generic MX dual core, and have been supplied a flash firmware and image from the supplier. This image is basic and has a lot of bloatware apps which i want to remove and put some of my own
The image supplied is a zipfile and contains:
factory_update_param.aml
hd18d_mx4.zip
recovery.img
I am able to successfully restore my box with this image (so I know that the image is working fine).
Within the hd18d_mx4.zip there is:
Directotories: data, META-INF, recovery, system
files: boot.img, bootloaded.img, logo.img
I can see the all the system APK files within the system/app folder. The problem is when i try to add another APK file into this directory within the archive (in this case videomix.apk), I am not able to restore the image to the MX device.
Can anyone help me with a noobies guide to do this. I have read that the apk file has to be signed, and the zip file has to be signed also?? But im not quite sure what this means, nor how I go about doing it.
Any help or tutorials will be much appreciate. I have downloaded the APK-multi-tool but dont have a clue what I need to do
Look forward to your replies.
P.S. Im using a windows 32 bit machine
anyone???
