[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
OK, I've posted some bootanimations and those don't look so great when the splash screen is the white one...

So I've pieced together a bunch of tutorials and findings and came up with way of changing it in the Desire S:

What you need:

1.) mspaint (or other bmp editor)

2.) NBIMG tool by pof (big thanks)

3.) cmd line

4.) zipping program (WinRAR etc...)

To start with, pick an image you want as a splashscreen, resize it to 480 x 800 pix. and save it as a 24bpp BMP file.

Now you need to convert it to the format HTC understands. To do that use NBIMG tool:

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

This command is to be written in windows cmd line where splash1.bmp is the file you have created/resized in mspaint :)

The output file has to be renamed to splash1.nb0

Now normally you could have flashed the file as an .img file via fastboot tool, but I wasn't able to do that for some reason although my fastboot drivers are OK (the phone has rejected the flashing procedure...)

So I came up with a way that might be used even by S-ON users although I'm S-OFF so I can't try it.

OK, so to actually get the splash to the phone, you need to mask it as a critical update and flash it via recovery:

Create a android-info.txt file and put following code in it (for EU phones):

modelid: PG8810000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__J15
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: HTC__032
mainver: 1.28.401.1
hbootpreupdate:13
DelCache:1
DelDevlog:1

Or take the file from your corresponding RUU file from THIS COLLECTION !

This file will tell your phone that it is a critical update :)

Now take these two files and zip them in one PG88IMG.zip file.

Now go to recovery where you will be prompted to install the update.

You can download my SplashScreen corresponding with my QuietlyRooted bootanimation HERE

Big thanks also goes to TheGrammarFreak whom I partially ripped off:D

Those are great! Just a quick note - that utility will work with the ENG S-OFF and if you have fastboot drivers... In the time I posted this, there was no ENG S-OFF, so I've devised a method to change it without that ;)

[HTC Desire S] kodanarmada:
Yes, I can confirm this one does work with Android Flasher 1.8.0. Upgraded from the Desire to Desire S a week ago and thought I'd give it a shot.

Had to boot into bootloader (not fastboot) and accept the update manually on the handset after user using Android Flasher to choose the splash screen.
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
I know its easy enough to change boot animations but can we change the downanimations I really want to remove the operator boot and shutdown screens with oem HTC
[HTC Desire S] ffodi:
You can change the downanimation as easy as the bootanimation. For example in Virtuous Unity rom you can find it in /system/customize/resources called downanimation.zip(in this rom the bootanimation.zip is here also). Just replace it with an other animation and you're done. You have to have root to do this........
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
Thank you I'm rooted and s off I did try this earlier I read you have to change permission to r-r-rw I did this removed the originals but all I got was a blank screen on shutdown and operator followed by android on boot
[HTC Desire S] ffodi:
I simply replaced downanimation.zip with ES explorer(with allowed root options). First time I had black screen too, but I've found out that the files must have the same name in the zip file as the originals. For example in unity rom with orkorolevs blue theme the file names must be like this: power_down_60_XX.png (XX are numbers from 01 to '"how many files you have").:)

Using galaxy ace and my current stable OC is 921 MHz (quite hot when charging and using wi-fi at the same time) using paranoid android ROM galaxyics kernel ver 2.6.35.7

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterex567:
What do you really want to do with overclocking. and risking your phone. 800 mhz is slow, I agree, but its not bad enough for daily use.

The highest stable you should risk up to is 883 mhz.

Even 921 mhz is stable.

But higher than that is just overworking the processor.

If you really want your phone to be fast. Its not only done by overclocking. You should look over to scripts like Adrenaline Engine and stuff. Maybe even setting up zram, to up to 18%.

But risking your processor. Nope. Don't do it. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespurnama1:
I am really interested in Overclocking, and rather than making a new thread i'll just revive this thread

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

940 MHz is safe, but when my ace lags, it reboots (i was playing fruit ninja in multi-tasking with browser)... So i'm trying to find out why... I've set the min and max at 940 MHz, so the CPU is stable at 940 MHz...I'm trying to test 960 MHz, but it shutdown eventually and didn't gives me a bootloop when i set to 960, please be aware that i'm using maclaw's kernel and his ROM... I'm not responsible for any damage if you did what I did, but if you want to try do a NAND Backup then try it... if it goes with a bootloop simply wait, a few boots and the CPU will be back to 800 MHz, if it didn't simply reset it...:D

*update* gives me bootloop after a few minutes :(

[Legend General] alexhtclegend:
I'm currently using data2ext with B 0.8, and I have a 2gb ext4 partition. I tried performing a backup using BlaY0's "Customized CWM 3.0.1.3 fake-flash with ext4 support". However, I get a message saying something along the lines of "Couldn't mount sd-ext. Sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device."

Any ideas? Is it unable to backup a ext partition larger than 1gb? Is there any alternative to a nandroid backup?

EDIT: Damn, is this cause I cheated when partitioning the SD card?
[Legend General] BlaY0:
I guess the problem is in ext4 feature huge_files. Even tho my customized CWM has ext4 support, it lacks huge files support (files over 2TB). This feature however is set by default when formatting ext4 partition. It can be turned off using tune2fs. Consult mr. Google on how to use tune2fs.

fixed my problem:

i had reverted to using CWM 2.5.0.7 gui / update.zip which does not support ext4

Just dunno how to use blay0s version with rom recovery gui, but no biggie

Hy there

I've been member on this forum for some time now , really like the stuff you can find here and learn about things....

ok the reason i started a thread is because I've searched the Net for 2 days for a reason , or something that would explain why my diamond won't display a solid white light on a full charge ..

i've bought it second hand and the battery was pretty much wasted (lasted only for 6 hours (without any use at all maybe 10 min max of talking) it charged to 99% most off the time sometimes it would stop at 75% or 82% ....

(even after a whole night of charging)

no problem , I've replaced the battery and it still shows me 99% on a full charge (even after 4 hours or a whole night of charging) , I've never seen a solid white light since i have the phone or a battery that is at 100%

I hope that some people out there, have some suggestions or possibly know why this is happening, and are willing to say a few words to help me

I have the exactly same problem.

When I put the phone to charge overnight (8hrs) in the morning it has reach 66-74% top. Interesting, but "tbattery.exe" shows 4.18V. When at this moment I restart the Diamond it shows 100% charge at the battery... I tried 2 batteries, 2 different chargers and 2 cables (one OEM, and one mini-USB). I looked at google, but no luck. Any ideas?

BTW the phone connects via active sync and syncs normaly.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
Right. I think I know what happens when you do a 'factory reset' but the manual doesn't make it absolutely clear so I'd like to make sure I have all my ducks lined up before I start .....

The manual says "... This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on. ....". Now this implies that it goes back to the state in which it left the factory. E.g. I've just updated to Gingerbread but a factory reset will return it to 2.2. I'm pretty certain that a reset will just return the "settings" to factory defaults but Gb will still be installed. Correct?

It also says the SD card won't be touched - so no need to download music etc again?

Ta in advance.
