[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
I've just called a german general customer service.

You can mod your phone, since Android is open source, you may however not remove a sim-lock. Your warranty is void if you flash your phone to unlock it for sim cards for other networks.

So it seems like everything is fine as long as you flash it back to the original firmware, of course this only applies to stock-simlock free phones.

This is only for germany, and i dont know if its completely true, but it sounds good :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Sounds like a load of crap to me, you don't flash to unlock, you have to get a code generated.
[LG Optimus 2x] mikee2185:
All statements "this and that voids warranty" are crap, since when you flash stock rom using SmartFlash, the phone is in factory state - they can't find out what you have been doing with it (not in any easy way).

But I don't know about sim unlocks, whether they are purely ROM thing or some deeper mod of the phone.. can't guarantee you that. Also, when you give the phone to somebody, you never know what he did with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
You dont quite get it.

Everything is fine as long as you dont try to unlock the phone for other sim cards
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I get it just fine. There is no way something done in the correct manner is going to void the warranty. LG's service dept won't know if an unlock code comes from a carrier or eBay, they will be identical.
[LG Optimus 2x] bluenote73:
The problem is the carrier states it will void the warranty if they dont issue the unlock code...
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
Well, if you bring it in for repairs to your carrier (who I understand you bougt it from), they can refuse to help you if you broke your agreement with them. If after a year, when you can get the unlock code for free, there is no reason why they shouldn't help you.

If you bring it to LG, and keep your carrier out of it, there is no reason why they shouldn't help you..
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Exactly. You might aswell just flash the original firmware and everything will be fine.

How to Install:

1-Back up your Rom

3- using Root explorer navigate to System/Customize/resource and rename the original boot animation there(anything bootanimationold).

4- copy and replace the old one.(make sure the new one named bootanimation)

5- make sure to set permission for the new bootanimation (same like the old one.All read/owner Read,write)

6- reboot and Enjoy....

Please if you like it hit Thanks

it is my first time to create such a work.

and believe me it took lots of hours to do this.

Thank You.

hope you like it.

am still working on yours but meantime i made one i think is much nicer....let me know
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] fishykipper:
ive been trying to create my own boot animations, but they never seem to load up.

The zip file contains two sub-folders, one with the main boot animation and one with the splash screen right?

Ive downloaded a few different bootanimation.zip's and tried to edit them around (photoshopped some of the images), but any changes I make result in the bootloader failing at boot.

Is there a set limit on the amount of images there has to be in each folder? Can they not be jpeg files??

Thanks for the help boys and girls

-Fishykipper
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] semsem1969:
Hi, first am not sure what you mean by two folders one for bootanimation and one for Splash screen.

Bootanimation is the second screen after booting the device.

First screen when you turn on your device that's the splash screen

Both has adifferent way of flashing.

The two folders you have one for the main bootanimation and the second for the looping images.(a main part that loops until the OS is loaded)

the image limit number not to exceeded 199 in each folder to be safe.

jpeg or png are fine(you have to set your resolution )

make sure your Desc.txt are edit correctly.

you should be fine.....
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] monkeyrasta.702:
You rock wohoo Thx a lot man

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] fishykipper:
Thanks for the reply mate, I'll give it another go. I must have just been unlucky the few times I tried.

Can you please explain to me the....'Desc.txt' file. I see inside theres some code, but sadly im pretty new to this so Ive no idea what the lines actually mean.

Thanks again for the reply, I appreciate it.

-fishykipper
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] semsem1969:
hello,

am also pretty new to this but i will try to explain as far as my knowledge,

This Desc.txt will include the following(example):

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Let's break down the parts of the file:

Width Height Frame-rate

p Loop Pause Folder1

p Loop Pause Folder2

so in another way:

P 1(loop once) 0(no Pause) part0(folder name)

P 0(loop until loading the OS) 0(no Pause) part1(folder name)

and you can change how you want your loop to look like for my case i have only one folder keep looping until the OS start

so my Desc.txt will be something like this:

480 800 30

p 0 0 part0

if i want it to loop once(graphics will stop at the last frame)

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

try to download boot animation folder(ready to work) and take it as example...

(how to number the pictures,folders,Desc.txt) am sure that will help you more also.

hope that explain it...

take care and Good Luck

It works perfectly, can you explain why??

I know when I view my files in the '.zip' file, the size and the packed size are different. I dont understand why. Am I wrong to be zipping my files in WINRAR??

What do you use to zip your files up? Please explain how you edited my zip to make it work?

Thanks mate, I really appreciate this.

-fishykipper
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] fishykipper:
Ahhhh, I worked it out. You dont compress the files, you just zip them up.

Cheers for all the help, I'll get creating!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] semsem1969:
hello,

what you do is select your folders(part0,part1 and the Desc.txt) right click win rar select add to archive...

change format to zip and the most important step Compression Method has to be store (without it will not boot)

now you should be fine.

and you are welcome....

Good Luck

Many of you must have tried to enable live wallpaper on Galaxy 3 by using the method given by other members of Xda the coding one but I guarantee I won't ask you to write any coding.﻿

1. Just Root ur phone use z4root for android 2.1 and super one click root ur for android 2.2﻿

2. Download Root Explorer. (u can get it free on 4 shared or other site)﻿

3.Download the attachment file (sdcard.rar) and extract it on ur sd card﻿

4.Open root explorer allow super user permission now on ur left hand side is a button named "mount r/w" press it now it will show "mounted as r/w "(go to preference and select sort order name (desc) for convince in finding required folder)﻿

5.Now go to sd card copy "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" to "/system/app/" (check that it is mounted as r/w)﻿

6.Now again go to sd card and select "libRS.so" and "librs_jni.so" using multi select and copy them to " /system/lib/" and then just restart ur phone.﻿

7.And if u have done it right enjoy with live wallpaper on ur galaxy 3.

Sounds like you got a demo phone, and if you have, you should be contacting the person you bought it from and have them give you a phone that wasn't a store demo (and unfortunately, worst case scenario, was stolen).

Otherwise, you're going to have to find a ROM that fits your phone, and you would need to install it. Instructions on how to do this are everywhere, so give Google a try and it shouldn't be too hard.

Has anyone tried the new 3M screen protectors for the Xoom? They seem to come in two varieties - one is a privacy screen that looks like it only operates in portrait mode and another one that's only a screen protector.

Even from other suppliers (see Google Product search) they're about $35 or more for two sheets. Having already wasted almost that amount on protectors from Boxwave, I'd rather not repeat the experience so would appreciate any feedback from someone who has actually used either of these. Interesting that the privacy mode only works in portrait mode - no watching movies in private in a public place :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I would just like to point out the amazing jobs developers are doing in the lead up to Mango. Over the last 2 weeks we've had many official apps people want on a platform and hopefully this will last up to and beyond the Mango release. Also hats off to Microsoft as I'm sure they have something to do with it (close release dates can't just be a coincidence). A few examples of official apps from various markets released only in the last 2 weeks:

- IM+

- NBC Nightly

- MTV News

- Evernote

- FoodSpotting

- VH1 To Go

- Steven Colbert's The Word

- StubHub

- Best Buy

- AmazonFresh

- L'Equipe

- i>tele

- Larousse Francais

- Tele 7 Programme TV

- Telerama

- Dictionary.com

- Allrecipes

- XE Currency

- Photofunia

- KiK Messenger

- Weight Watchers

- National Park Maps

- Qype

- Plants vs Zombies

- Angry Birds

Now if only Mango would come very very soon we'd be a happy bunch :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Yeah, WP7 is really moving on now. Some of the apps you mentioned are not available over here in Germany, but the ones I happened to have tested are really nice. Especially because of the ease of use that the metro ui offers. I'm really looking forward to what kind of apps mango will spawn.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yeah they all seem well made and not just lazy ports from iOS/android. I missed a few too like Gowalla for instance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Yep, the app offering is getting quite better (if we aren't concerning too much about increasing spam).

Feels like all the traction needed for the 'real' launch of wp7 will be there only with the Mango/Nokia binome, though
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
There are a few good apps that do a better job filtering out crap apps than the official marketplace. WP7applist and Marketplace search are two that I have used.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nok_fusion:
yes it's good
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Yep, I know, but the point of building a marketplace _late_ and from the ground up, was -I though- avoiding the errors made by those who arrived first. At this point I'm still uncertain if they managed it, when I see 20 cloned apps floating in the new section now and then, apps that track one single guy achievements in a single game (20x times) and such things. But that's another argument.

I use Top Apps 2, which sorts apps/games based on reviews and not download count and has a nice set of filters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
Very true, and if you really think about it, we only have about 1,000 apps that are worth using. The rest is crap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
I'm not totally against marketplace opening. But it's clear Microsoft has absolutely no policy on app content or rather non-content.

Having an RSS app for every RSS feed out there makes zero sense, but they're not concerned by that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mtb_kng:
I wouldn't mind if they ported all the apps over, then started fixing them.
