[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] sunflash72:
A boot animation themed like the newer ubuntu ones.

If anyone has any suggestions for improvement let me know

EDIT: I just realized that i should probably post how to install this...

for CM7 and a couple other roms put it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

and for the stock rom/sense based it goes at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

I've read that for sense based it may need to be called VZWbootanimation.zip or something along those lines just replace whatever is there.

permissions need to be set at rw-r--r-- or an upside down L on the left side in root explorer if you don't understand that.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
so i cant just Flash it on Clockwork?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] sunflash72:
this is just the actual boot animation file that goes into the file system... you can just put it there with root explorer or the like.

doesn't get extracted by the way. you just need to rename the zip file
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] miketoasty:
I would think not.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
thanks just making sure
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
hey just want to let you know that it works for me but i dont get the dots on the bottom of ANDROID like a loading look.

i get a Android logo u have used
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] sunflash72:
the android text or an actual android?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
the txt, it looks similar to yours, but when its says the txt android its has a glaze about it and it goes back on forth.

if u cant tell im having a hard time describing it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] sunflash72:
what rom are you running?

I'll mess with it and see if i can't duplicate your results. I tested it on CM7
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
das bamf 1.6.1 non themed. i put the file into the correct place, replaced it with the old bootaninmation, thats all i did
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Pithism:
ahhhh i fixed it, thanks for your help

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prakashraobs:
Hi guys,

From yesterday I am finding the Google search behaving strangely. Any text entered are displaying it as food (like password). I am not sure what's the problem is.

I got this problem with rcmix 0.9, leedroid 3.0.5 , insert coin 15, then I came back to leedroid 2.4 which I was using and was having as a backup, but no change still same problem. I have checked this with default browser and with dolphin and with opera on all Roms specified above , still same problem.

Has any one have same problem?

Is it a virus?

Is something went wrong in updating roms?

Not sure why?

I request for the help from experts.

Thanks in advance.

My guess would be that Google made some changes to their mobile site, and accidently made the search box appear as a password entry box. Probably nothing you can do, it would have to be fixed on Google's end.

Also other people reported this with Stock NON-rooted phones and other devices, like Wildfire, Thunderbolt.

Download Super User and Titanium from the market. Try to freeze some of your bloatware. If it let's you, you are rooted.

Dead give away to if you're rooted is that when you flashed the second PG05IMG.zip the top of the screen would have said "s-off".
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] higabyte:
This will tell you if you have root or not:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result

Also, if you download apps like Titanium Backup, it requires root to function properly, so you'd know then too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kak1004:
Some of the programs that you would want is kernel manager and clockwork manager. Read through dev. Forum and decide which kernel and rom u want to be running. If ur rooted why stay pn stock.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMTesla:
If you power on your phone while holding the volume down button, you will load into the bootloader. At the top it should say "MECHA XD ENG S-OFF" at the top. You are rooted.

As the others said, install ClockworkMod and TitaniumBackup.

TitaniumBackup will allow you to freeze (Or uninstall) bloatware that was put on your phone. I usually just freeze the apps because uninstalling can sometimes cause issues. Look at the app in titanium and tap on it, which will bring up a menu. Hit "Freeze" and it will stop the program, remove it from your app drawer and not load it in the future. TB also allows you to backup your apps (And sync them to your dropbox if you have one).

Clockwork mod is what you use to flash ROMs. ROMs are customized UI's for your phone that can add or take away a number of features. I personally use Das Bamf 1.6, which is amazing. A ROM that retains the "Sense" UI will still look a lot like the native HTC screen, keeping many of the features. A "Desensed" screen removes HTC's UI, causing it to be the more native Andoid phone OS (Think Nexus 1).

ROMs can also add features such as over/underclocking the processor, different animations (Startup, etc) and adding modes like "Hibernate."

To install a ROM, first backup your current ROM.

Open ClockworkMod>Scroll down and hit "Backup Current Rom">Enter backup name (Usually the date, but you can name it whatever)

It will ask you if its ok to restart into CWM recovery. Hit yes. The phone will restart and Clockwork will back up your settings. After that you can restart the phone and it will start up your phone like normal again.

Now that you have a back up (In case you hate the rom you install or something goes wrong) you can install a ROM! To do that we go back to ClockworkMod.

Hit the button labeled "Download ROM." This will bring up a number of ROMs that have been linked into CWM. For this example I will use das BAMF. Hit das BAMF and you will see many different versions. If you hit one of them, it will download the ROM and CWM will flash it. CWM will ask you if you want to clear all data. Adrynalyne says you do not need to, and I have not needed to, but if you have problems, reflash and wipe all data first with the options.

Kind of a quick an dirty. There are much better guides here on the forums for doing all of this. Search the forums. Read carefully.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markkal123:
thanks for the info. with your help i am indeed rooted.

a stickey regarding this would be helpful and appreciated. included would be whether or not a rooted thunderbolt could possibly be "bricked" with any verizon/htc updates. are there issues with manufacture updates of rooted phones?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmin9012:
Congrats on being rooted! I rooted my Thunderbolt within 2 hours of buying it! A little observation I have made is that my Thunderbolt loses 3G more often after updating the Radio. I have tried everything to remedy this situation, ie all different assortments and variations posted here on XDA.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpmeroot:
I've rooted and S-OFFed my desire GSM and i'm running CM7.0.2.1. i want to use the alpha-rev internal memory partition table for cm7 but i saw that it only has 5mb of cache.

I read somewhere that the cache limits the size of apps you can download (if you have a 5mb cache, you can't download things more than 5mb from the market). Is that true? I guess there'll be a drop in performance if you come from a 40mb cache system, correct?

*EDIT just found that thread about making your own custom partition sizes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321*

I'm also thinking of making a custom partition with 130mb system, 40mb cache (same as stock), the rest for storage.

in that post, it says, "Create mtdpartmap.txt on SD card with size of system & cache, the example provided sets system to 125MB and cache to 5MB, this will depend on your ROM: echo "mtd 125 5" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt"

does that mean just make a .txt file and inside just write a line that reads "mtd 125 5" ?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
I have cm7 hboot and download big apps like angrybirds (over 10mb) without problem despite the 5mb cache, only limitation connected to small cache i know is inability to flash radio from Recovery(you must do it from fastboot)

as you can see: if you use cm7 partitioning it uses the same partition for download cache and data - so there is enough space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpmeroot:
thank you!

Is there any noticeable performance drop when you are going from a 40mb cache to a 5mb cache?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
I went from stock (40) to oxygen (10) - there isn't any change to performance, if you mean speed, responsiveness etc. because of the partition itself.

My phone is faster because of the rom and kernel though!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpmeroot:
thanks. I'll flash the CM7 partition tonight

*edit*

i feel that the alpharev's way is too complicated (installing fastboot and things) and i end up doing the custom partition size way

now i have:

130mb system

40mb cache

267mb data

restored my nandroid backup, and everything's working. HURRAY!!!

thanks again everyone!
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
Whats goin on guys, I havent posted in a long while mostly due to being busy as all hell and the fact that my TP2 is modded to the teeth and I was pretty much done, HOWEVER, after an epic 4 hour battle with ATT today I scored an Imagine for $50, nice.

Apperently ATT thinks they're smart and blocking WiFi tethering. I read the other posts but just to be totally clear, This DOES NOT apply to rooted devices correct?

My TP2 wireless tether works perfectly fine tested 5 mins ago and getting the inspire without wireless tether for free is a total deal breaker
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
There is a thread a little ways down that tells you how to do it on the stock unrooted rom. Any rooted ROM should already have it, as it is just an apn change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
oooh dude I have every intention of hacking the daylights out of this phone... So rooted im gonna have no problems at all then?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
None at all. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
lol... God damn it I love you guys.

So hows the inspire perform? I havent worked with android yet but my buddy has.

Looks like CM is nice, there's an OC kernel too, experiance, suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Namuh:
I moved from the Atrix to the Inspire and I haven't looked back since. It feels just as snappy as the atrix did through the menus and installing or launching of apps. I've been running the CM nightlies and this device hasn't failed me yet. A few bugs and quirks here and there but nothing I couldn't fix or bypass with help from these forums. The Inspire is a great current generation device, and with the power user options to root it, overclock it (1.5+ ghz- screams through fancy screen transitions, games, and movies), underclock it (245 mhz-saves battery when the phone is in my pocket), and really just customize it as you see fit. It's a really good choice if you want those types of options available from your device. I really like my Inspire and I think you will too! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mace1370:
Did the atrix really feel snappy? When I tried it out in a store it was super slow just scrolling between home screens. I assumed this was due to MotoBlur being a steaming pile, haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
Dude I originally got excited about the Atrix and the Tegra but then I saw it at best buy next to the inspire and I was immediately drawn to the larger screen.

Im pretty HTC loyal now, their devices are ass kicking, root ready, and well constructed. Ive dropped my TP2 down a flight of concrete steps and it just bounced and laughed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
Every atrix I have used was laggy as a mother while navigating android, but applications them self ran really fast (aka angry birds). adw and lp dont help it all that much either in my experience.

Just imagine what that thing could do with the right kernel and rom though :mad: The phone has such potential but is crippled by its maker.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmarrale:
nice i had a 3 hour battle with AT&T and got the inspire for 15 dollars i was a cappy user. decided to try out HTC still stock not yet rooted i did make my GoldCard. am having a slite hiss in my voice audio and not sure. i am going to stop by the store and see if a replacement has the same issue oh and the battery really stinks..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Namuh:
Yes the Atrix did feel snappy but only after I rooted it, installed Titanium backup and then froze motoblur and other bloatware apps. Installed Launcher Pro and it flew. But it wasn't enough. I moved on to the Inspire and I don't regret it at all!!!

starting just today I stopped receiving SMS on my evo. I integrated my sprint number with google voice a few days ago and didn't have any problems, and today I upgraded form mikG 2.1 to Virus B3 and haven't been able to receive a SMS since. I nandroid back to MikG, reflashed Virus, and even went back to stock and updated my profile/prl through the settings menu, but nothing has worked. I know I'm supposed to be receiving messages because I'm getting the texts in google voice, which is now the same number. Is anyone else experiencing this lately? Does anyone know of a way to reset this sort of thing?
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
I tried both Paul's version and the latest clockworkmod recovery from ROM Manager, but both of these would put wrong backup dates in the backup image files and folder. What's wrong? The phone or the recovery program??

It's a bit inconvenient, since if i rename to the correct date/time, the MD5 checksum would be wrong, so I need to keep the wrong ones as well.

What I observed is that the month is always +1 and the time is always using UTC timezone.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i am definitely noobie, so i could be totally wrong. please anybody correct me if say something totally absurd.

md5 checksum is for individual image files, not entire directory. for example mine is

# cat nandroid.md5

ee5f9313d30caa0956a8a6b24f75ddfa boot.img

8786667ac7d45546156b2e19bc0168cf cache.img

4b3fda00aa2255e2314fbbd20fa22d5d data.img

d4de133f5d712f7164151f319cebb728 recovery.img

93c71d12eab5c13d2a66e08a1b346696 system.img

i don't think renaming the directory will affect any md5 checking. sure, it is a bit inconvenient, but not the end of the world, i guess. maybe you can copy whole directory, rename it, and do recovery see if that works.

i agree wrong date is probably bug, and should be fixed.

as for time, i'm guessing (and i'm totally guessing here) that system is using UTC and get timezone information from network, so that clock is always correct even though you travel other region, instead of using local clock and figure out UTC. another reason i can think of is to use android market. i don't know why market checks time and date, but lots of people reported not being able to use market when date is set wrong. since market (or any other google servers) is kind of global, it is just easy to use UTC and then apply local time zone.

you may be able to disable getting clock from network by go and uncheck "Settings > Date & Time > Automatic" and manually set your local clock might do the trick ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
I have the same problem, its really annoying to restore several backups before you find the latest. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] cagra:
You can easily rename backups through ROM manager

I currently have backups named MCR14 and CM-nightly. I have them both on SD and internal memory due to CM switching them around.
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
yes, that's what I thought. But when I restore the whole backup (not individual img) in the clockworkmod recovery, it was not allowed. Then I renamed the folder to the original date/time, it passed. So, maybe the recovery program actually did check the files's dates against the folder name then? if not, then probably my new name was a bit long.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Did you put a space in the new name? It doesn't like them.
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
oh yes, then that's the reason.

now i use rom manager's interface, and it defaults the folder name to the correct date & time, that's good enough (although the actual file date/time still wrong)
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I have this issue as well and its bloody effing annoying. Makes it more of a hassle restoring your backups.

Please fix ASAP.
[LG Optimus 2x] withoutwings:
Not only that, but it sometimes changes the system date when flashing a new ROM to a month in the past as well...

[Captivate General] Vivified:
The home haptic feedback function is found in the phonewindowmanager.smali that shows up after decompiling the classes.dex from within the framework-res.apk/framework/android.policy.jar. In the past, making the needed edits to phonewindowmanager.smali, recompiling classes.dex, placing it inside of android.policy.jar and then either pushing this to system/framework with Root Explorer or a new flash would get the job done. I have also seen that some users are simply copying the phonewindowmanager.smali from MikeyMike's ROM to the decompiled classes.dex of other ROMS and then recompiling them to get it working as well.
