I have been trying to customise my boot animation and splash screen and have come accross a few issues, any help would be apreciated guys :)

1) so the bootanimation.zip is in /system/media/ right? but how do we get the audio to work with it? should it be the same format/filename as other android devices? because the one im trying to use from my DHD wont work :confused:

2) i've been trying to flash a new splash screen, i have an unlocked bootloader, i converted a .bmp into a spash .img but when i tried to flash it fastboot returns the error "partition not found" what is the splash partition called on the play if it's not splash1 :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Sorry to dig out an old thread I'm also interested in making a new splash screen for my xplay and I can't find no play specific instructions.

Any of the free xperia guys fancy shedding some light on this? I like the freexperia splash but also would like to flash my own design.

Sent From My CM7 R800i
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Sony have messed up partition tables compared to other android phones, it looks like there isnt even a splash1 partition, i wouldnt be suprised if, the spash is held in /boot like recovery, meaning to change the splash, we would have to add it to the boot.img and flash that :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Thinking about it yes it will be in boot.img as when you flash cm7 splash screen gets changed to free xperia splash. Ill extract boot image from cm7 and take a look when i get time.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
I'm off to bed, but the file is not in the boot.img and easily modified.. Will jump online tomorrow and help you
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Sgt-Hartley:
Great thanks.

But when flashing cm7 splash screen changes, and its only boot and system img what gets flashed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
The file is part of the system.img

You can replace the boot animation located at

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

Make sure to chmod 644 the file

Were talking about the splash, not the bootanimation :p

Sorry for stupid question but...

I recently flashed current Overcome Kernel and Rom and it works like a charm but Messaging and Phone application are on english, rest of system is completly german, as it should be. ;-)

Can I change this by flashing another phone/modem file with Odin? Could anyone recommend me one? I am on T-Mobile Germany network and def. Need GSM and 3G...

If you flashed 1.6.4 version of overcome. Sadly phone and messaging will remain in English locale as the Alterbridge86 (dev of overcome) wasnt able to merge other locales including German successfully (The Messaging kept FCing horribly and phone had issues). It has nothing to do with the modem.

Question: What happens if I connect a Nokia AC-10 Micro-USB charger, that has an output of 5V, 1200 mA, into the phone ? I'm asking this because inside the phone, on the back of it, where the battery compartment is, it says maximum of 1000 mA.

So what would happen if I would connect the charger ? Would it end up in smoke ?
[Nexus S Accessories] bringonblink:
It depends on what the voltage rating for the phone is, if it is 5v, i believe it should be ok, you may find it actually charges slightly faster, if the voltage is higher thats when you can cause damage though.

I am not 100% sure on this maybe someone else can confirm
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
Phone: 3.7 V, 1000 mA

Battery: 3.7 V, 1500 mAh

Original Nexus S Charger: 5 V, 700 mA

Nokia AC-10 charger: 5 V, 1200 mA

Charge time = battery mAh / charger mA = 1500 / 1200 = 1.25 h = 75 mins

So the NS battery should charge in 75 mins with the Nokia AC-10 charger.

So all the chargers are 5 V rated, ranging from 500 mA (USB cable) to 1200 mA this Nokia charger. For example, with the HTC Desire, I had an 1000 mA charger that worked flawlessly.

LE: Never mind, I found the response. Sorry for making another thread on this matter, but I didn't find the other topic when I first searched the threads. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897935

If a mod sees this thread, please, do delete it, because it's useless now. Thanks a lot anyway !
[Nexus S Accessories] cgi:
Just on a side note: Your phone will not necessarily charge faster just because your wall charger can supply more current.

It depends on the charging circuit inside your phone, too. If your Nokia charger and the Nexus S conform to the USB charging specification, the phone will know how much current the charger can supply by the resistance between data+ and data- on the USB-plug. But how much current it draws is up to the phone.

Also, charging LiIon batteries is not as straight forward as (battery mAh)/(charger mA).

It will (most likely) be charged constant current at first and later switched to constant voltage top off charge. I read somewhere that the faster you charge at the beginning, the longer the top off will take.

So you will only gain time, if the supplied wall charger was too weak anyway and why should Samsung do that?

In any case, if you want to try anything you should be sure to be inside USB specs. I think it is 5V +- 5%, so from 4,75V to 5,25V. Less should not be a problem, but (much) more can and will fry your phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
Good to know, thanks a lot ! Maybe I'll come back here with a comparison between stock charger and the Nokia one (in a couple of days).
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
most definitely not

i'm using a 2Amp car charger, and it charges really fast, even when the phone is ON, full brightness, gps + streaming BT to car audio
[Nexus S Accessories] MarkVis:
i would think that it would charge faster with your nokia charger but your phone will get hotter than normal. i experience this when i use my 1A charger. 1.2A will make it even warmer. i hope you dont overheat your phone.

ps. fast chargers (15 min chargers) for Ni-Mh batteries have 7.5A. those kind of chargers come with fans on them to cool the batteries while charging because it gets really hot. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
Ok guys, thanks a lot, I'll keep in mind all you said. Unfortunately, I've come across a dead Nokia AC-10 charger (don't ask, lol), so I will need to get another one tomorrow. After that I'll compare the 2.
[Nexus S Accessories] markread644:
The charging circuit (in the fone) tries to stop the battery blowing up and overheating by pulsing the charge until the battery reaches 70%+ when it drops off and the charge creeps up to 97% (all values approx) when the carge circuit switches off and we are left with a fone at 97%+ (other threads on this topic itself !)

I experimented with standard Nexus AC (700mA) and USB Wall Charger (1000 mAH) and Laptop USB Cable (500 mA) and 1 am disappointed at not being able to get a FAST charge in the thing. Here is a plot of the AC Charge (700 mA charger). It never gets used a full power !

[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
Ok... something is really screwed up... when I connect the phone via the Nokia charger, the touchscreen goes haywire... If I touch it in one spot, it sees the touch in another spot... It even starts apps without me even touching them... weird. Is it too powerful for the phone, or what ?
[Nexus S Accessories] cgi:
The nokia charger might not be isolated enough from mains. Too much ripple or whatever. It is unlikely IMHO, that it supplies too much current, since it is no current source, but a voltage source.
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:

been using it for over a year now, since i had my old BB and SGS i9000 and kept using the same one for SNS

i use it on a daily basis, as the first thing i do when i get on the car is to plug the charger and put the phone on winshield
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
Interesting enough, another one from the store has the same effect. Also, on my girlfriend's HTC Wildfire it has the same effect. Guess Nokia sucks as this as well. GG Nokia, keep it like this and you'll eventually fall like the rest of them...

I have noticed too that when the fone is on charge, the screen sensitivity is maxed out and phantom touches can occur all over the place.

Anyone found the cause of this annoyance ?
[Nexus S Accessories] rockcruze:

[Nexus S Accessories] autumntree:
I encountered the same situation like you, and I know many people do. I was told by my cell phone supplier that it's all due to the unstable current, which causes magnetic field to influence the scree. Or something like that. My phone even typed words or made calls by itself when charging, I can hardly control it until I stop using the charger. When I connect it to PC with USB cable to get charged or use another charger, everything goes well. So I suggest you stop using the charger on your phone. It might cause damage to it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
Hi. Maybe few words about me first. I'm not a developer, I don't know how to do it and I have to ask more experienced users. Ok that's it, to the point now. Ah, and I didn't know if this thread was proper to be posted in Development sub-forum, so it's here. If it was possible, if the thread meets requirements to be there, maybe it's possible to move it there? I'm not sure how many devs visit those section, so obviously there is greater chance for finding an answer there, but again, I wasn't sure if it was right.

While I was a G1 user one genius known as "Firerat" created very nasty script - it allowed users to manually, by simply creating a .txt file on sdcard with proper values and running a .zip from recovery, resize partitions like /system, /data and /cache on the phone. I don't know if you're familiar with G1 stuff, but previous there was only one way to chage partitions and it was achieved by custom SPL called Haykuro SPL. This modification (MTD part hack) was created because of need for even more space on /data and allowed to shrink /system and /cache to smallest value possible, so /data took up as much space as it was possible. Here is source thread in G1 Development section:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874

There you can dive in details, because my knowledge and understanding in this things end very quickly :o.

On HD2, we have come a great way. From pure Windows Mobile, it was possible to run Linux kernel from sdcard by HaRET.exe, then run Android. After few month team of gods gave us MAGLDR, a tool that allows us to replace Windows Mobile from NAND with Android system. Then after few more weeks someone made Clockworkmod Recovery possible, giving us posibilty to create partitions on sdcard, do a nandroid backup/restore. But one MAJOR thing wasn't done as it should. Recovery in theory should give us possibility to flash ROMs from sdcard without need of computer. And theoretically it's possible, but... Yes, you have to have proper partition configuration flashed by DAF.exe with PC before. Imagine what a great obstacle it is for diagnosed with ORD!

Now you realise what I'm talking about? Combine these two things and bam! I'm just asking, just giving you an idea. Maybe it is possible to adapt those scripts to HD2 and replace old habits (flashing recovery by DAF.exe on PC) with simple script and one .txt file!

Again, maybe it's not possible since we are still using old SPL from WM times. Maybe MAGLDR is build in such way that those scripts are not possible. Maybe there is a thousand reasons... but I've never seen such an idea.

So please, is there one person who are good in this stuff and can explain me wether it's possible or not?

So maybe I can rest assured that I have to cure my ORD

OR

we can move on to work on making this idea reality :).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
cure for ORD....

Flashed from my fingers to your face
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
On a serious note, though, have you looked at clk? It is supposed to be useable without a pc. Therefore you can configure the partition on your phone. Is my understanding of that correct?

Maybe T-Macgnolia can explain this better than I .

I'm still trying to get my head round it, before I commit to changing over to clk...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Hello raven_raven,

This is indeed a good idea and can make our HD2 PC independable. I will support you as much I can.

Though I have some questions for you.

Q1: Is it possible for this script to brick our device?

Q2: Can we choose the partitions which we resize (for example I would like to resize only /system, /userdata and /cache and leave the others as is) and if yes the other partitions /boot, /recovery will be formated or data will be kept as is?

Q3: What the bootloader has to do with it?

Q4: What SPL has to do with it?

For your knowledge in HD2 their are 2 bootloaders, MAGLDR and cLK (cedesmith's Little Kernel) which makes HD2 a native android device.

In MAGLDR partitions are made along with the flashing of CWM with the help of DAF.exe

In cLK partitions are directly managed by the bootloader when flashed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
Tried cLK, but it can't change partitions as you would like it to, you can't change it on the go without PC.

A1: No, it is not possible. Firerat is genius and he does masterpiece of scripting, those scripts are 100% safe. It will of course break you ROM, but simple nandroid backup/flashing a new ROM will fix it.

A2: We resize /system, /data and /cache. You simply put two values in text files, i.e.:

mtd 130 2

First number is how many mb you want to spend on /system, second on /cache. Rest of internal memory is used by /data. /boot and /recovery are not touched by this script.

A3: I don't know for sure, just connected it to Haykuro SPL, which also changed partitions back then.

A4: Don't know for sure, I'm simply intermediate in this stuff, just wanted to pass an idea, I don't have required knowledge and experience to make this idea come true.

I know that there are 2 bootloaders, but I don't know how they work and how far you can modify partitions from recovery by using each of them. HD2 obviously isn't a native Android phone and regarding that either this idea may be impossible to implement or has to be completely redesigned. I really don't know :(.

Just wanted to pass an idea, but I'm terribly dissapointed how little response I received...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Well you would have more people responsed if you were posting in development forum under the label [call for development].

cLK is modified "little kernel" for HD2...

since there is no danger of bricking our device I am going to test it and report.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
Great thing to see that someone tries. Be warned though, I'm not responsible for any data loss and damages or whatever, as always :). Please be sure that you read original thread and understood how this script is working.

Maybe I'll ask a mod to move this thread to Development section...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Yeah i did, don't worry about it.

I have read the original thread, i have compared the different devices mount points (as much i could) and conclude that is the same.

What i have also noticed is that kernel must be patch in order for this script to work and the script checks for a specific bootloader? I'm not sure, i need to restudy that thread.

Anyway, I tried using the script but didn't happen anything.

I formated all partitions except /boot and /recovery

I first created the mtdpartmap.txt in SD root and flashed via CWM the script FR-recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

Then reboot and again to recovery

Flashed ROM and then flashed FR-boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

Reboot to ROM worked fine.

I run terminal

#df

Sizes where the same as before :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
Exactly, first you apply new partition map to recovery, next you install ROM in those new partitions either by flashing or nandroid backup-ing, then patch kernel to work with this new layout.

Huh, it would be too easy to simply run it and bam! it works. Even Firerat made different scripts for different devices. I'm curious what's the problem. Is recovery on a different level than those in native Android devices, which means that it can't change partition size? Or is it just problem of adjusting script to HD2 like it was done for Hero or Evo? I wonder if Firerat would like to investigate, but it would be impossible to achieve it without HD2, and from what I know he does not have one.

What person should I ask to move my thread to another section?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Well, I guess Firerat need to come by and post a thread in HD2 Dev forum since it is his work.

He could ask what info he needs for the HD2 such as partition layout and filesystem in each partition etc... I am sure many people are willing to help with that.

I also think that SPL is locking the partition tables (not sure) and the way we are flashing just overcome that. Else when i used the script should have f**cked up my partitioning.

You can ask an HD2 moderator to move this thread but first ask for Firerat permission.
