Originally posted by spork Wow. I have to say that this is the most retarded misfeature I have had the displeasure to encounter in any piece of personal electronics. "I know what will make our product appeal to the masses! Every time you turn the phone on, we'll have it play a jerky logo animation at about 1.3 Hz. While it's doing this, we'll play merry-go-round music at maximum volume, even if the phone is set to vibrate! Then, just to make it sound even more like a $350 piece of equipment, we'll cut the tune off abruptly just before it ends! While you're in there, can we have it do the same thing on shutdown too? And my 3-year old son likes hot air balloons, so paste random pictures of them on the outer display while all this is happening. WAIT! I have an even better idea! Let's not just make it the default...let's NOT LET USERS CHANGE IT! We won't even let them buy an alternative through Get It Now!" Does Verizon have a room full of monkeys salvaged from amphetamine toxicity experiments to whom they entrust major branding and presentation issues? Do they really think they can sell this phone to PROFESSIONAL ADULTS? Good lord. I saw a guy walk into a corporate store a few weeks ago all ready to buy a 2000-minute America's Choice plan. He said "Show me your best phone". The rep pulls out an LG VX6000. He looks at it for about 20 seconds and walks out. Why? The LG looks like a toy. There's a reason Motorola keeps selling the v60: it looks and acts like a TELEPHONE. I may have to suffer with AT&T TDMA for a while longer if this is the best that Verizon can do. My 6360 might be ancient, but I can see who's calling instead of a big "VERIZON WIRELESS" banner, the display font is readable, and it doesn't make merry-go-round noises when I turn it on or off. The Vox looks like a serious phone; I am chagrined to find out that it is not. |

Originally posted by Waruwaru Well, by diddling around with the file in the db directory, I was able to change the shut-down animation. But I wasn't able to change the annoying song it plays. I am wondering if the song is embeded in the Verizon software/firmware. |

Originally posted by spork Waruwaru: You and Zaediex rule. What happens if you replace (for instance) default_ani_off.txt with a copy of default_ani_idle.txt? Or a 0 length file? (Seems smarter to mess with the off animation so the phone will still turn on if it's screwed up.) It would be so cool if the animation was gone, because all it does is make it take longer to power up/down the phone. Then maybe the phone would be powered down before it could play the music! Please let me know what happens if you try this! |
I hex edited some of the stuff in the file itself. When I screwed up and try to select the new anim record in the menu as shut down animation, the phone would start "ringing" and wouldn't shut up. When I shut down, I got white screen with a big box and a cross in the middle, but the darn music still plays. 
I havn't tried the 0 length file yet (don't want to freeze my phone 
). Base on the above observation, I am thinking the sound isn't kept in the file itself.
