Well good tutorial but can´t test it because the coderom isn´t downloadable in the thread the download is removed because of the root explorer thats a paid app so no chance to get on that coderom :( But does it only with coderom works or is there a chance to get it working without coderom??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] tr.supradeep:
Oh thats sad that coderom link has been removed. It was among the best right now. Well anyways if you have applied any of the new themes or the default theme(i.e. on first page of the post) and then continue with the procedure then it will work on yours. Only thing is that it should be 2.3.3 or above. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] neophyte1983:
Nope i installed the default theme form the first page and made the # in the .prop file but there is no crt animation i think only with coderom is it working.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] neophyte1983:
If i am on stock 2.3.4 and install the default theme from your first post is then crt animation working? how do i apply the theme when i installed it on reboot i get asked if i will use launcher pro or normal start?

sorry for asking i am new in that materia, but want that cool crt animation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] izador:
when the phone is booting there is a white screen after i changed the build.prop.

crt animation work great.

does some else have white screen while booting ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] neophyte1983:
Yes i got the white screen also but my crt animation was not working so i made restore with clockwork. i can´t get that **** crt animation to work i not want to flash the coderomv1 better the stock firmware but it must be a way to get that fuc*** animation working under stock 2.3.4 rooted with clockwork.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] izador:
its working just enable the full animation in settings>display>animation and select full animations.

im using 2.3.4 stock.

but i want to figure how to enable bootanimation.

*ok, i managed to fix this prob and also success to enable bootanimation in stock 2.3.4
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] djsky2011:
I placed the hash in that build.prop file, rebooted. crt works fine but i get white screen when i'm booting the phone, anyone knows the solution for white screen?.

stock kph deodexed + root
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] neophyte1983:
Now is it working by your phone on stock 2.3.4 you got the crt animation and the samsung bootscreen hell that is all i want tell me please what you have done to get the crt animation and the samsung bootscreen not a white screen.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] djsky2011:
I have managed to get all working, if u r using kph deodexed u need to ignore the system/media folder and focus on data/local instead. Copy the provided samsungani to the system/bin folder and then copy bootanimation.zip to data/local, nothing else should be in that folder apart from a tmp folder. Reboot phone and all should be well, also note that bootanimation.zip should all be in lower case.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] MadWax90:
I'm using stock 2.3.4 KPH, i've installed the coderom_Default.zip theme, i've modified the build.prop file, (reinstalled the theme one more time), activated all animations, rebooted phone, etc... Still nothing has changed, any ideas?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SjPedro22:
I also edited the prop file on stock KPH 2.3.4 and all I got was smoother and faster animations and a white screen on boot. No CRT animation. If anyone can figure out how to edit this in another way to enable the animation I think I speak for a lot of us when I say " we will thank you" :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] tr.supradeep:
For people like SjPedro and others, if your CRT animation is not working on KPH, remember that your framework-res.apk is not edited due to which CRT animation can never be unlocked. I suggest you people to put any one of the themes available in this forum and after applying edit the build.prop (or vice versa). Only after you put the new theme your framework file is replaced by another which has the right edit to enable CRT animation (It is actually just a Boolean variable change). Thanks:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SjPedro22:
thank you! that cleared up a lot ;)

maybe i'll find a way to just edit that Boolean variable. Shouldn't be too hard ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] tr.supradeep:
Well changing the boolean variable is very easy. If you want i can tell you the way to do it also. But the problem is with the compilation. apktool compiles it wierdly and hence i get into a bootloop on rebooting.

2. Copy to root of SD card. how to do this ? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] chinoyray:
copy the file to the sd card.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dokiace:
i've do that. and i've update the zip from cwm, but nothing happen after that.. :confused: :( someone

i wanted the miui theme >.<

and my rom is coderom.nexus ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] chinoyray:
try to mount /system first if you are using CWM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dokiace:
so, mount first. then update ? what's the risk ? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] chinoyray:
Flashing anything to your phone is already risky. What more risk can you ask for? :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dokiace:
Hmm.. i mount my /system then i flash the miui, reboot.. but no thing happened, except My notification are gone. :( help :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] chinoyray:
did you do a factory reset? Also, if your status bar is gone, you need to reflash the whole ROM again through Odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dokiace:
no, what will happen if i do factory reset ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] chinoyray:
most of the time, a factory reset or data/cache wipe is necessary for flashing since some apps/data causes bootloop and other problems.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] urnamu:
What do you mean of "but after edited 2 lines of that code and apply coderome default...it works"

CRT in Gingerreal 1.4

Anyone know how to enable CRT animation in GingerReal1.4??

It was working properly in 1.1 but seems its been disabled for some reason.

I tried editing build.prop and it still doest work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] adil_:
Have you tried enabling animations?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] easswar:
Yep, first thing I did.

Anything else I might have forgotten??

Thx
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] scoffyburito:
It has purposely left out on 1.3 and 1.4. You will have to enable it by a theme or following the instuctions on the thread "Enabling overglow for advanced users". Search it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] easswar:
thanks!!

just for the info, do you know why it has been left out??

I can't enable bootscreen logo...

First Hello to you!

After 12 hours i managed to make Crt effect to work on a Galaxy Ace

v 2.3.5 stock KS9 with modification of "build.prop"

and

"framework_res.apk". But until now i haven't manage to get rid of my black (sound without logo) bootanimation. The think is:

In my phone there is nowhere a bootanimation.zip. Only in "/system/bin" there is two files "bootanimation" and "samsungani" . In "/system/media" there are two files, "bootsamsung.qmg", "bootsamsungloop.qmg". When i erased them the white bootanimation screen went to black. I read in a lot files that i have to place in "data/local" the file "bootanimation.zip" which i can obtain it from internet but still again nothing happens. In another site they said to replace the "bootanimation" name with "samsungani" in tha same folder. As a result was to see a green logo of "ANDROID" which i had never seen before(or downloaded it) but then the phone stuck there and kept loopping. I am so close to make it real and bugless the "CRT animation" in stock rom.

* I know that the easy solution is to install a custom rom but i am furious and i want to modify this restricted Samsung Rom.

Every help will be useful!!! :)
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
Sorry guys I'm a complete noob to these frequencies. I've read through the forums and it seems that the general idea is the R800i wont receive 3G. My question is why won't it work? I'm not familiar with att frequencies so an explanation on the frequencies would be hugely appreciated. Sorry for not knowing much guys. I hope your expertise will help with my simple question.
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
You have to flash R800a firmware, AFAIK AT&T uses frequencies defined in R800a baseband.
[Xperia Play General] PhillipJ:
R800i supports UMTS (3g) on 900MHz and 2100MHz. R800a supports it on 850, 1900 and 2100.

AT&T use 850MHz so that's why your R800i won't work with 3g. It'll still work with voice and probably work with GPRS.

It's hardware, not firmware, as far as I know. If not I could have bought an R800i for $150 less and just flashed a generic R800a firmware.
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
Hmm... did you actually try it? I know that flashing R800a will "instruct" radio to use the "a" frequencies, but I'm not sure about HW limitation... unless it's in TA as well (would be worth investigating).
[Xperia Play General] nattnet:
no...and pls try not to give the advice from ur guessing (no offense btw)...it could easily confuse ppl who doesnt know abt radio chipset and may lead to wrong purchasing decision...a lot of ebay sellers still misquote the spec and sell R800i saying it would work on 800/850/1900/2100 3G -_-''

basically, the R800i has got a chipset that would work with HSPA on 900/2100 only while the R800a/at got the one for 800/850/1900/2100. it's purely hardware stuff...i'm using mine (R800a) flashed with R800i UK generic firmware...it's showing a R800i under 'About' but it works on 3G 850 MHz and never work on 3G 900 MHz...this's not abt software level at all

i'm pretty new to this android scene so i'm not 100% sure abt the software architecture thingy (i.e. kernel, OS, baseband and stuff) but radio connectivity is largely chipset-dependent with different design on antennae as well
[Xperia Play General] Blagus:
User in development section reported that he flashed R800i firmware on R800a phone and 3G worked fine. So it is on software level. I know that too, since I was testing basebands while collecting (for X8).
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
That's what I did and works perfectly fine but im using canada rogers phone service.
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
So this is a software issue? So I can buy a r800i and flash it to act as a r800a? So confused.
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Flash with what? r800i firmware with r800i firmware? (no rogers firmware to flash) :p It's all hardware based. You will not get it working on at&t srry bud.
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
Thank you for your answer. I was about to pull the trigger on buying the r800i but now I'm going to wait till the r800a is more readily available.
[Xperia Play General] PhillipJ:
So I (accidentally) flashed my Rogers R800a with a UK R800i firmware (to get root) and it's still connecting to Telstra's 850MHz network. So, as expected, you cannot change the phones radio with software.
[Xperia Play General] bongajushe:
just bought a R800a from ebay. Thank you guys for directing me in the right place.
[Xperia Play General] nattnet:
so u r saying that R800a owners who flash with R800i firmware can get their phone to work on 3G 900 MHz?? that's not the case because i've tested here but not working...mine (R800a flashed with R800i UK generic firmware) only work on 3G 850 MHz but not 3G 900 MHz...those who get their phone works on 3G must be on the standard band I 2100 MHz

on testing baseband, can u pls enlighten me a bit on how the software architecture of this thing is like? as i said, i'm pretty new here but want to learn more
[Xperia Play General] JosePato87:
This answer is in part correct, as baseband feature is related to hardware, and firmware is software. It doesn´t matter if you change the firmware, the hardware won´t change.

The solution is to buy a R800a if you are in America. :cowboy:

HTC ChaCha/ AT&T HTC Status, 1300mAh Slim Extended Battery

HLI-A810ESL

For HTC ChaCha/ AT&T HTC StatusLi-ION 3.7V 1300mAh

This item will be in stock on or before 31 August,2011

- 12-months Warranty

- Shipment within 7 days
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
50mAh won't give you anything actually. The difference is so small that you can barely see it. Basically what we need is a 1700 mAh battery, that should give us another 12 hours (probably less, around 9 hours) or so uptime.
[HTC ChaCha] EpicEric:

[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Hm.. About ChaCha battery... havent seened yet any change in performance comparing to original.

About Desire Z battery... little better performance.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
I think, better solution for us will be using JuiceDefender to extend battery life instead of buying some replacements.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
The package for 1600mah clearly states 1250mAh. Something's not right, either the photos, either the site is lying about it. I wouldn't try it.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
I have got something like that:

That is good!

[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Any word on the extended batter? wish HTC would come out with their own extended battery for the HTC Chacha
[HTC ChaCha] hockeyfan:
I ordered this battery and finally got it yesterday. Charged it up, and after 12+ hours of background syncing, a few phone calls and texts, and some browsing, battery life is still at 90%! So far, I'm very impressed, and I hope that I can extend the battery life even further with additional charging. :)
[HTC ChaCha] hermex26:
yeah,me need a better battery too,
[HTC ChaCha] danuzor:
I have a question too. The firmware/baseband update will make my battery life run better?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Possibly. The kernel should make improvements to battery consumption. I suggest using 1.52 stock, or a custom rom based on a higher version.
[HTC ChaCha] aligrafix:
which battery is best

Hockeyfan, which battery did u purchase? can u give a link please? and also which set? HTc chacha or any other. I am dying to get a better battery, Even after OTA update, there is no change in anything. everything is just fine.

My usage is : 350 sms daily, browing 3 websites on wi-fi for 20 mins, brightness at 20%, all background data off, everything omptimized and installed task killer. but still the batter life is max 13 hours maximum. Even on no use, only calls for total 20 mins, the battery goes down.

Standby time is even 13 hours.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Hope some one now give a proper link.

I am using stock android.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
350 SMS?!? Really?!? I'm surprised that your phone even lasts 13 hours :)

Honestly, even on my Nokia phone the battery drains faster when I'm writing/sending SMS's.. I do not recommend this "extended battery" as it's poor quality.
[HTC ChaCha] aligrafix:
this is what i said

Yes ofcourse, I use to send minimum 350 sms a day, 2 hours of call, maximum 20 mins of wifi usage, the main problem is, it is the dialer in "Battery status" which eats more than 95% of battery.

My battery lasts for only 10-12 hours. Honestly, if i dont make any call or sms or use it, just my GSM SIM is installed, on standby, it gives maximum 13 hours. I have checked it. Battery goes down 10% per hour
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hmm, something's wrong. You have some hoggers up there. Can you double check all active applications/connections?

Facebook apps are always on, background sync, gps active.

If I let the phone in stand-by mode with GSM only active I lose about 5% in 12 hours. 10-12% in 24hours.
[HTC ChaCha] aligrafix:
Yes i did

I had stock 1.52 and battery problem was same, then i upgraded to 1.18 via OTA, the problem still persist. Can you give link of the battery which you have purchased?:(

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

Yes ofcourse, I have turned off facebook background app, all mobile data access like GPRS off, wifi off, only SIM inserted to make my number on to receive call and sms but i dont use that SIM (like once a week for call).

Also, i have turned off all haptake feedback and animations.

Still it gave me 12 hours of standby time.

But i did a trick.

1. Turned off the phone

2. Pulled out battery for 10 mins.

3. Put the battery in and turned on the phone at night and then i slept.

4. After 9h in morning, it was only 5% used.

5. It lasts for 2 days but as i make the call or receive SMS, there is an application "Dialer" who eats up all battery. The battery usage of dialer is 97% and after that, the battery goes down to 0 in 12 hours.:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

If you have checked it 5000mAH for HTC chacha, if you charge your battery with it, it lasts for more than 3 days?

Did any one tried this battery? It is for HTC chacha and what battery increase noticed? thanks

[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
"I had stock 1.52 and battery problem was same, then i upgraded to 1.18 via OTA"... You cannot upgrade from the newest version to an older one.. I'm using the stock battery, all the other ones kinda suck.

The "pull out battery for 10 minutes" is called a soft reset. I don't know what apps you're using or what your settings are unfortunately.
[HTC ChaCha] aligrafix:
Yes, i have tuned off all background data off, only sim call & functions are working. I only turn on wifi just for time i need, while all other settings are off. brightness at 20%.

And sure it again did good with soft reset for 15 mins. but again within 35 hours, after using wifi for 3 apps, "notepad, robo defender", 30 mins of calls, 180 sms, battery died in 20 hours.

what do u guys say, i plan to flash froyo rom in my htc chacha? & which ROM shall be the best?

1 more thing. can i flash Android Froyo Rom into my HTC chacha, i bought this phone to save battery life bcoz of its small screen but it is behaving just like HTC Desire Z & other big screen phones. i think, i shall never buy HTC phone again. its my 3rf bad experience becoz i like android. i shall buy my next phone of Nokia E series touch & type phone.

they are best sets.

Can you tell me your feedback about bought 1700 mah battery for cha cha ? I'm thinking to get this one for my cha cha. What's the difference in comparison with stock one ?

I have purchased and ordered this battery,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-CHACH...ps=63&clkid=4356988706166234319#ht_1179wt_906

It is out of stock, I was the 2nd last customer to book it. if u wana open this page, paste the url in your browser and as it opens, press esc key, it will automatically redirect you to the list and u cannot see this product.

I will receive it in 7 days and then i will write here about the progress. However, after ordering this battery, i got my chacha giving me stand-by time of 2 days 6 hours luckily. All i did was to turn off and pulled the battery out for 15 minutes and then it was ok after doing the other stuff which is mentioned in above posts. Please! read my above posts
[HTC ChaCha] Soo__Fuego:
I just started using one of those 1700mAh batteries and its life is much better than the oem. Obviously the first couple of days it sucked but after charging for 10+hrs for about 4 days it gained its full battery life back.

Im tempted to buy one of those 2000+mAh batteries but my concern is that the 1700 barely cleared the battery cover. I would assume the 2000mAh extended batteries that are on ebay would be even bigger. If they are the same size as the 1700mAh they might not be truly 2000+mAh.
