SoCal Devs has just released a new app that lets you to easily install a custom splash screen on your phone whenever you want with no access to a computer necessary.
The Market page for BootFlash Pro is here.
Also available on the Android Market is BootFlash Lite.
Here is the description from the Android Market.
BootFlash Pro lets you choose an image stored on your phone to install as your rooted phone's splash screen. The splash screen is the image that is displayed on your screen when you turn on the phone before the boot animation begins to play. The splash screen installed by BootFlash Pro will stick across different ROMs, so that you can always retain the splash screen that you enjoy. You can change your splash screen as often as you want.
BootFlash Pro currently works on:
HTC Inspire 4G
HTC Desire HD
HTC Vision
HTC ThunderBolt
HTC G2
HTC Desire Z
Edit: Added support for HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G
and more to come!
Please do not attempt to use BootFlash Pro on any phone not listed here.
Edit: Force close issues on choosing an image have been fixed!

I'm sorry for these issues, it appears as though there was a problem with the APK that was uploaded to the Market. Could you please clarify if this was BootFlash Lite or Pro that caused the problem?
I have just verified that both the Pro and Lite version of BootFlash that are currently on the Market work on my Inspire running CM7, what ROM were you running when this issue occurred?
It was the pro version. Am running inspired ace 1.0.1

Also when I selected refund & uninstalled my refund wasn't granted, so I went back to the market & redownloaded & installed the pro version. But same thing happened, it was granted super user access but after selecting image it will force close. From looking at the market it looks like the lite version was updated but not the pro version. Really like the concept behind this app so anyway you can help is appreciated.

We apologize for all the trouble this has caused this is our first app and we may have released it a bit prematurely. We have identified the cause of the problem and a fix will be released soon, probably tomorrow. Until then, this app has been temporarily removed from the Market. I will post a reply here when we release the fix.
When the fix is released will be just an update or will I have to uninstall & redownload & reinstall? I ask since I already paid for the pro version.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
The fix will be released as an update. Thanks for your purchase and your patience we are hoping to fix it today.
Thanxs for the quick response. Really like the idea of this app.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Thank you for the application. I will have to test this one out and see how this method compares to the other methods of changing your boot splash image. It is always nice to have easier ways to accomplish things.
App Fixed
We have fixed the app and also, we have added more phones to the supported list. These include Incredible and Evo 4g.
It has been re-published in the Market and should be available shortly.
Thank you for your feedback so we can reach our app's full potential.

In this version we added licensing software, so let me know if you have any problems once you upgrade and I can fix it.
Alright I did the update, this time after selecting image & waiting awhile it gave me a not responding error with an option to report force close or wait. First I tried wait which didn't help so I force closed it. Then I restarted the phone & tried again, now It's telling me I didn't purchase the app. HTC inspire running inspired ace 1.0.1

I can't find netflix on the market anymore. anyone else having this issue? I'm guessing this might be an isolated incident. I've had a couple market issues since flashing synergy 6/1 but I thought I had squashed them.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure that it's due to it not working on the official Gingerbread release. I updated my wife's unrooted phone today, and Netflix stopped working. It would start the stream, but it would stop and then go back to the queue.
I just checked market and sure enough, its gone. Maybe good news is just around the corner for us who havent been able to run it.
I just called netflix their words were "Near Future" Which means yes they will fix sense 2.1

I see. That makes sense. Makes me happy! The only draw back to this rom has been not having netflix. Hopefully that will be remedied soon.

After speaking with my Dad who didnt even know there was a Netflix App, decided to download it before it disappeared and the Market said that his EVO wasnt a supported phone. I am under the impression that Netflix dropped support for both 2.2 and 2.3 on the EVO until they can fix it for both.
hmmm i still have it in the market but heres a change
Currently Netflix playback is supported on the following phones:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
• Motorola Droid with Android 2.2
• LG Revolution with Android 2.2
• Casio G'zOne Commando C771 with Android 2.2

I noticed that, and trust your input. I'll never understand why some people just post stupid crap like this guy did. If I'd noticed it was his first post I wouldn't have bothered.
I have an older .apk for the NetFlix app and when I install it and open it, it tells me I HAVE to upgrade to continue, then searches the market and says requested item cannot be found, click OK and right back to the you must upgrade screen.. so it appears that the NetFlix app is gone completely for the Evo until the fix the 2.3 issue. Can anyone else confirm the same?
I noticed that too! This really sucks ! Now what am I going to do at work? Maybe its time to introduce ubuntu to the work place
why wouldn't it work on the new update? it works on cm7 and thats running 2.3.4 -.-

Have you tried running it recently (since the update?) Possibly if you were lucky enough to have the last version they had before they pulled it for the EVO then maybe it will still work for you, but the older version I have doesn't work.
I have the last version. When I tried playing anything it would load and say that netflix had not been activated on my device. Not that it worked to begin with, but that message is new to me.

Guys server side Netflix has pulled support for our phone until they fix it. It will not work on any version

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.
On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?
I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?
So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM
FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).
