[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Hi guys,

I've ported some bootanimations from my own bootanimations from Legend, practically just a re-size and editing the desc.txt that manages the animation...

So here are those animations I deemed worthy :p

HTC Quietly rooted

DOWNLOAD

SNAKE bootanimation :)

DOWNLOAD

BIOS Bootanimation

DOWNLOAD

All these zips should be renamed to bootanimation.zip and placed in the apropriate folder:

most ROMs in/system/customize/resource

in LBC MOD in /data/local

And of course hit that THANKS button if you like it :)

Hey,

Could you make a "Quietly Rooted" bootscreen w/ white background (also stock-like :D) ?

Thanks!

Does anybody have the oem HTC boot animation for desire s
[HTC Desire S] DiaJee:
Hi, I have done but when I want to root file in a folder /system/customize/resource overwrite new so I will write a file read-only. How do I delete or overwrite?

edit: I figured it out. I have to do it via Explorer Root

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac1974:
Before I ask my questions, I know there is a strong possibility that this issue has been discussed. If so, I send my apologies in advance.

First I truly appreciate all the time and effort that the devs put into making our phones way cooler than boring old stock. I am currently running the Muiuwiz rom with the Otb kernel, and I have to admit that this is the first time that I've had a custom rom run this smoothly. So thanks once again. Now to my questions...

1. Is there any way possible that someone can turn the boot animation sound back on?

2. If the answer right now is no, do any of the devs think it will ever come back?

Personally I like the fact that we are able to change our boot animation, but I think it was so much better when the sound was working...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Can it be brought back? Yes. Will it be, probably not. No one is completely sure why it isn't working, and given that it is not a frequently used item, only there on boot, it's priority is fairly low. If someone can figure out what caused it to stop working, it'd be much easier to fix.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaeKar99:
The only thing that I can add to this discussion is: When any/all boot animations in zip, qmp, qmg format have been removed from the phone. The PowerOn.wav file will play. With the animations in place the wav file will not play..

Not much to go on but that is all I can gather from experimentation.. it as though there is a competition for resources and the animation takes priority...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac1974:
Thanks for the info. I thought it was something that was turned off in the kernels for a reason. I guess my next question would be is there really that big of a difference between the current batch of custom kernels, and the latest stock kernel? I mean other than the lagfix, and OC & UV...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac1974:
Thanks. The only reason I posted this question is because of all the hard work that's been done in putting a ton of boot animations in one single post. There are some great ones on there that would go great with some kind of sound.
[Xperia Arc General] J@CKY:
Hi all,

I am new to Android device. So sorry in advance if this question appeared to be too stupid...

I understand that I need to unlock the bootloader if I want to install custom ROM.

My questions, do I need to unlock bootloader if I want to flash my device from one official ROM to another region's ROM? Say my device has UK Stock ROM, do I need to unlock the bootloader if I want to install HK stock ROM instead?

Also, I believe there is no hardware difference among different area releases (e.g. UK vs HK). So can I assume it is safe to flash the ROM to another area release?

Thanks!

:D
[Xperia Arc General] itskapil:
I'd NOT recommend you to unlock bootloader on your Arc as there are no custom ROMs made for it yet, and maybe developers here could make ROMs that'd not require you to have unlocked bootloader. So you should really wait because if you unlock bootloader -- there's no going back -- you can't re-lock 'em. And you void your warranty too.

You don't have to unlock bootloader for flashing another region's ROM. You can flash other firmwares using "flashtool" (a program originally developed for Xperia X10 by Bin4ry for flashing original firmwares, but updated to work on Xperia Arc also) You can get it here.

And as you're new you should first read this thread.

Also for newbie step-by-step guides [with videos] for flashing ROMs, unlocking bootloader, etc. visit the link below:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tag/xperia-arc-hacks/
[Xperia Arc General] J@CKY:
Brilliant,

Thanks for he information.

Can anyone confirm that there's no hardware difference between different region's release? (LT15i, LT15a are only different model numbers due to region?)
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
That's simply not true.

There mere act of unlocking your bootloader does not void your warranty.

There is potential for you to void you warranty if you then were to flash a custom ROM but simply unlocking the bootloader won't void it.
[Xperia Arc General] FrAsErTaG:
Wrong section
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
It is possible to relock bootloader - if you have taken TA backup before unlocking, if you restore it bootloader will be relocked. I'm investigating TA Misc area to find out how to relock bootloader on already unlocked devices without TA backup.
[Xperia Arc General] itskapil:
Actually SE asks you to insert your IMEI No. to get the secret key for unlocking the bootloader, and since unlocking bootloader is obviously meant for flashing custom ROMs, SE will put fingers on you only if you damage your phone -- as they have your IMEI registered under their systems as bootloader unlocked. Below are the warnings they've stated on their blog:

and

And @blagus man that'd really cool :)
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Just because someone has retrieved their unlocking key, that does not mean they have unlocked their bootloader, so there's no way SE will refuse to honour a warranties purely on that basis.

This is further evidenced by the fact that it is possible to retrieve unlocking keys for network-locked handsets which, as things stand, cannot have their bootloaders unlocked.

Also, you may want to re-read what SE have actually said:
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
To further support Step666 - unlocking the bootloader in itself does NOT void the warranty.. LEGALLY SE cannot waive their obligations to warranty because someone unlocked the BL... it's the installation of custom ROM/ Kernals/ bootloader changes that gives them the right to refuse support...
[Xperia Arc General] waz000000:
no it's not possible see here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14019729&postcount=16
[Xperia Arc General] itskapil:
Buddy my point was NOT just "retrieving unlocking key" -- this is very obvious that SE won't blame a customer just for retrieving an unlocking key, but if you unlock bootloader too -- that explains your interest in using a custom ROM on your phone.

Now if you're thinking that someone would just unlock his phone's bootloader, and never use a custom ROM over it, then simply that kind of effort is not worth it as there won't be any fun in that. Right?

See I understand your point, and you're right, but it just doesn't looks practical to me.

[Galaxy S II General] RADLOUNI:
hi guys

After bouncing back and forth between the SGS II and sensation forums, i decided to buy the SGS II

SGS II seems more powerful in terms of performance and has better hardware, while the sensation seems to be better in terms of it UI (sense 3.0)

The SGS II has not been released yet where i live so i'm gonna buy it from expansys or handtec and get it shipped, and i have been hearing about SGS IIs faulty on arrival units (circles on screen and stuff like that)

So my question is how frequently are people facing faulty on arrival units. It will be a hassle for me to get a faulty unit and then ship it back to the UK and pay for shipment (around USD 50).

Which online store do you recommend i buy from ?

Thanks for the feedback

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sf1nkxxx:
OK. here goes. after recently (in the last 24 hrs) upgrading to froyo, rooting my phone, soft resetting then hard resetting my phone, i think iv hit a massive brick wall and now my phone has had it. The reason i did the resets was to try and free up some internal memory so i could use OCLF, only to find out after everything got deleted and the apps that weren't were now all screwed, that voodoo is supposed to be much better. So naturally i downloaded the voodoo update.zip and went to apply it in recovery mode only my phone would enter recovery mode, and the up and down volume buttons would not work so i was unable to select anything. I then downloaded ROM manager and tried to enter recovery mode using that, only once in recovery mode the screen froze and wouldnt do anything for 15 mins. At this point i pulled the battery out and put it back in, then after the white AT&T screen loaded it would automatically take me back to the 'frozen' recovery mode screen without me having to even press anything, and i cant get past that now too. What can I do from here? Has anybody else had the problem of unusable up and down volume buttons?? Is my phone totally screwed or is there some way for me to get download & recovery modes working (along with the volume buttons)? thanks in advance

ps. just to make things even worse, androidSDK wont install properly on my laptop either....

You may need to make/buy a jig and put phone in download mode then flash back to stock Eclair 2.1 using odin. That would be my suggestion.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Xperia Play gets Android 2.3.3 upgrade and deep Facebook features next week

By Mat Smith on Thursday, 19th May 2011

(UPDATE: A spokesperson has been in contact to tell us that it will actually be Android 2.3.3 coming to the Xperia devices next week.)

We’ve just come back from a presentation with Sony Ericsson, who said that the very latest edition of Android, fixing those pesky security issues, will arrive alongside the new Facebook inside Xperia features announced last month.

Both the Xperia Arc and Xperia Play will get updated to Android 2.3.4 2.3.3 (still called Gingerbread), and gain the new deeper Facebook integration next week. (Providing UK phone networks have okayed the update.)

Facebook inside Xperia will add a handful of new features to Xperia handsets. Liking music currently playing on your phone will send an update to your Facebook feed, which can be clicked through for more information via Sony Ericsson's TrackID, whilst photos can be uploaded and now downloaded and kept on your phone.

Your Facebook calendar will also sync to the phone, and your Google account, meaning we’ll have no excuse for missing birthdays ever again.

Contacts on your phone can also be more deeply connected to Facebook profiles, and you’ll be able to see their status updates, interests, and more.

Calum MacDougall, Head of Web Service Partnerships at Sony Ericsson told us that Facebook inside Xperia was not about making a ”Facebook phone” but “enriching the experience” of using the phone alongside Facebook’s features.

MacDougall also said that these embedded Facebook features would be an ongoing project- but that it would focus on Sony Ericsson’s strength in entertainment, and vowed they wouldn't look to replicate features that already worked well on the original Facebook app.

Any Facebook-phobes will be glad to hear that these Facebook features can be switched off, either individually, or all-together, although we're waiting to hear back from Sony Ericsson on how much space your giant Facebook photo library will take on the phone.

Facebook inside Xperia will come to all future Xperia models, and all phones released so far this year. Expect to find the new features on Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini, and Xperia Mini Pro later this year.

Will all that Facebook crap bloat the software and bog down the phone?

Currently using stock Rogers and it runs so smooth I'd hate to see S.E take a backwards step to how they have got the SEXPlay performing currently.
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
How I understand it (I think it was mentioned in a comment on FB or inside a tweet), you can disable all the facebook features. Besides, as we have root, we can probably just remove those added apps.
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
I would love gtalk with audio and video. Love to delete off vtok.
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
I had 2.3.3 for awhile on my AT&T developer phone and the facebook features can be turned off. It's not that bothersome but to a facebook fiend it can be ok i guess. It integrates new pictures u take, phone numbers etc. into ur contact lists etc.

No update for me in Canada. I still have to Root my phone. I'm just nervous that if I remove the bloatware and something brakes that I won’t be able to restore it. I have asked if I can back it up before I do it but no one would give me a proper answer. :eek:
[Xperia Play General] danieljamie:
I just like to hope that people are working on hacking the phone more rather than intentionally ignoring anyone :)

I can respond to you though: Root with gingerbreak, works a treat on 2.3.2.

And as for bloatware, you can get stuff back from this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036249

I was scared at first, but you can safely remove some stuff. But DO NOT REMOVE SONY ERICSSON HOME, SE HOME, or whatever the original sony launcher is called. Especially without installing launcherPro first or an alternative.

Hmm.. interesting, when I try to do an OTA update it says cannot connect to servers.

But when I try with the PC.. it says I'm on the newest firmware but doesn't mention anything about me being rooted. Maybe try unrooting with gingerbreak and check again?
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
i beleive gingerbreak has a button labelled "unroot'

But can 2.3.3 be rooted again?

And will an upgrade be affected by the fact that some bloatware has been removed?
