Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
That is awesome!
Now, if only we can remove the "old TV turning off" bit, and put it in the place of the stock "NOKIA" logo when the phone is powered off…that would be even more awesome.:)

O M G those videos ROCK!!!!!
This Maemo community is full of highly talented people! I can't wait to reboot this thing. Haha. Thanks for the fantastic work!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
Could someone please provide an alternate download of the short video. I can't access it. I've enabled all the scripts on that page, but it just keeps sending me back to the download page and never actually downloads it. It is probably blocked on our network. Thanks if you can.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
rm42 send me your e-mail.
If it's possible to change that logo with video while the device is turning off i can make a really short video (3-5s) with TV turning off effect. So, if somebody can tell us how to do it, and if it's possible to do it, i will provide another video just for that.
Thanks guys, i really appreciate it. Will try to make something new as soon as i can. Enjoy. ;)

Got it. It is beautiful and a lot more discreet sound wise. It is a keeper. Thanks a lot!

PS: You are very talented. :)

Thanks!! I really like the short version. It's very well done and has a very professional look! Just modified my boot video to it!

Did you substitute new vid name for the original video name?
Also, not sure if it's necessary, but I inserted a dash character in place of each word space in the video title.

Ok this is what I did. I renamed the n900 short 3.avi into n900short.avi.
Changed the values in the default.conf to:

[hildon-welcome]'filename=n900short.avi'

copied both files via usb into my document folder. Disconnected the usp.

opened x terminal and typed the following:

sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcome.d/
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/n900short.avi /opt/
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/
ln -s /opt/n900short.avi n900short.avi

closed x-terminal

rebooted device....
result: no vid playing

Why do you type /opt/? just put the file in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/

Just type mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/n900short.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/

kopte3 2010-02-03 03:52
Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
romanianusa, :D

slotti, try again to type those two last commands, it didn't work for me too in my first attempt.

Btw guys, a surprise for you. ;)

Just followed the instruction on the other post of how to change the boot vid. Smarter now. But I checked the location, and the new vid ended up where it is supposed to be, right next to the original. So this wasn't the problem

Tried about 5 timed....>no luck. I have a question on the default.conf file. The file that I dl'ed from here has this weired symbol, which is a square rather than just a " ' ". Can somebody post how this file should really look like. I found in another post that it should actually be 2 lines under each other. Mine looks like this:

[hildon-welcome]'filename=n900short.avi'

the other post shows it like this though:

[hildon-welcome]
filename=n900short.avi

any idea

Try without ' ', it works for me.

Ok by doing so, I managed to get the original vid back.
guess I'll have to delete all instances of the n900_TV version and will try to uplaod it back. At least now I know what I am doing and I might actually get it there a lot faster. installed leafpad, which helps as well. This way I can just alter the dafault.config right there.
I'll keep you guys posted if it works.

romanianusa 2010-02-03 04:19

I guess the idea behind this is not to fill up your memory for apps, since this way it is simply linked into the apps folder rather than taking up space.

Don't use leafpad man....use Mad Developer and WinSCP!! You just open up your computer and go to any folder...drag, edit, whatever you want to do with the file...so much easier.

Will check them out. Meanwhile, I did get it going by just copying it directly into the '/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/' folder. For some reason the linking into the opt/ did not work for me. I thought ln -s would create this? So I had the file in the /opt/ shouldn't
'ln -s /opt/maemo.avi maemo.avi' than create that link (the file did show up...). Weird I'll have to try it again some other time.
Wife has been calling me to come home for dinner ;-)
Thanks all of you guys for your help.
The more I get into this, the more I love the n900. I am not saying 'phone' because the phone is the only part that pretty much sucks about it ;-)

I try what you did by creating a shortcut linking to /opt/...it works for me. Wow, i saved root space by doing that...i DID NOT KNOW THAT! Anyway, i typed exactly what you did and it created a shortcut in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/ and it works. I also notice it LOAD MUCH FASTER TOO!!

So don't put the file directly in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/ like i did before, it doesn't save root space and it doesn't load as fast. I don't know why your not loading....so did you see a shortcut in the /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/??

slotti 2010-02-03 06:20
Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
I will try the short cut again tomorrow. Getting late here and I still have to watch yesterday's 24 episode.
Thanks again.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
I did everything as slotti... Same results. I can see the shortcut in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/
I want to delete the videos and start all over again but I don't have permission. How can I delete them? I tried with mc.

You have to be root (before running mc)...:
Code:
sudo gainroot
(requires rootsh installed)

And be sure to use the AVI file (wmv files won't work).

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
I didn't also get the "ln -s /opt/video.avi" link to work, so i made folder "/opt/media/" and put the startup video there. Then in mc went to "usr/share/hildon-welcome/" and i deleted the "media" folder and all is left to do is link the "/opt/media" to "usr/share/hildon-welcome". Thats how i got it to work, i did all this from mc. Hope this helps.

While i did this i also optified my sounds folder and some other stuff and gained extra 10mb of space in root :D

Don't use Notepad to edit that file. It is a long story. Just use a different plain text editor. If you don't have one you could do it right on the N900 with Leafpad. (I always use vim, but it takes a bit of a learning curve. Well worth learning it though.) Download the file again and edit it afresh. Let us know if that works.

Nokia should pick this up as the official boot screen

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
YEEAAHHH!! I finnaly got it to work! I combined all the advices here on the thread and joy joy :)
I downloaded everything again and edited default.conf with leafpad (not notepad as previous). Put the video in /opt/media/ (created media folder)
And ln -s /opt/media/video.avi video.avi and ta-da! :)
Can't say what made the difference... but it's all good! Thanks guys!

How do you tell which folder or apps are in root??

franny87 2010-02-04 00:14
Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
do i need to use the default.conf from here as well?
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40803

so it will be default.conf + n900 short right?

kopte3 2010-02-04 00:44
Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
Before you use it you should edit default.conf (open it with notepad and change the name of the video).
Or if it's easier you could change the name of the video from "n900 short" to "maemo".

after i input: mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/maemo.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/

It keeps telling me No such file or directory. Any reason why? i can't get passed through this part >.>

i have the video name maemo.avi like you said

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 
You have to put the video in Documents folder.
