Hi....First of all let me say I am not an expert in tweaking android, but regarding bootanimation I searched and got some little knowledge.....

The boot animation is made using a serious of images. I have tried it using .png files and .jpeg file. Both were ok.

What you have to do is, you must make the animation in two series of pictures. The first part must be put in a folder and the second part (The part which will be looped till the phone starts up) must be in another folder. Next you must make a new text file with the name "desc.txt" and with the following content:

320 320 24

p 1 0 part1

p 0 0 part2

First line indicates that the pictures are of 320 X 320 pix size and the animation must be done in a speed of 24 fps.

Second line indicates that the pictures in the first folder ("part1" is the name for the folder in which the pictures for the first part of animation is kept) must be looped ones (The one after p is given for that).

In the third line, in the place of "one" a "zero" is given so the pictures in the second folder will be looped infinite times (till phone starts). Here part2 is the name for the second folder.

Now you have two folders with pictures for the animation and a text file. Now add these three to a zip file with the name bootanimation.zip. while making the file make sure that the compression method is selected to store only.

Now copy this zip file to system/media/

Reboot and enjoy.....Hope it will work!!!!! My animation worked!!!!

I have attached a sample file for your reference.....

All the best.....:D

Regarding rom cooking...Its not a simple process to make a line by line guide....I am also searching for the same from day 1......I have searched a lot and obtained very few things regarding rom cooking....Not even enough to cook a new rom....

What I have done is installed virtual machine, installed htc kitchen, selected rom made by some other guys, used it as a source rom for the kitchen and just added a few new applications to the rom, then repacked it and installed it....

for these things you can follow this link..." http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246 "

Also tried change some other features of the rom but didn't succeed....:D

Anyway from the search what I understood is that using kitchens the level to which you can edit a rom is very less.....you must follow the procedures given in this link " http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html " (it is an ocean) to install a development platform, other software required, and finally develop new roms...some knowledge regarding java and xml is also needed to do the task... I have tried my turn in that site but i reached no were.....still trying to get something....:D

Anyway hope you will understand something....all the best!!!!!

I still have a large amount of invites left so if you or your friends need any just post below and I'll try to get as many as possible as fast as I can.

Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button. ;)

If you get the email saying you've been invited but still won't let you register, keep trying every couple hours. The demand is pretty high so they're only allowing a certain amount of registrants at once.

Thx Joy,

That was quick, painless and mostly interesting to be on G+. I do have a huge concern with the Android app for G+. Nowhere in the Android app settings does it indicate the permissions granted for linked Picasa albums, although the web version of G+ does indicate that you can control access to your Picasa albums. That may be a potential Google Buzz type faux pas. Any thoughts pipl?

[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY

First off, huge props to Bierce and Oostah for all the searching and then providing me the info on how we might be able to enter DIAG mode on your phone while on CM7. All I did was manage to get it to work, and taking a leap of faith by trying to change my prl while using CM7 :eek:

Something we never thought was possible

...​

Second, this isn't exactly for the faint of heart. QPST can really mess up your phone if you don't know what you're doing (read as: venture off and mess around with the program). Also, since I literally just did this this evening, there obviously hasn't been extensive testing with it. So "continue at your own risk".

Personally I haven't had issues with it and I've changed my PRL about 5 times to make sure it works. But still, it goes without saying: I'm not responsible if your phone gets FUBAR

What you'll need:

MSL -> (msl reader app)

Diagnostic Drivers (htc) -> google it for now, but I think these are the correct ones you need LINK

QPST -> Get the latest version here​

install QPST

Get your MSL

Install the Htc Diagnostic Drivers (if needed)

Connect your phone to your PC

Open 'Terminal Emulator' on your phone and enter the following:

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable

This enables Diagnostics Mode, which enables us to use QPST :D

Open QPST Configuration

Select the "Ports" tab

Click "Add New Port"

Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only"

Click on your device and hit OK

Highlight your phone on the "Ports" tab

Open up the "Start Clients" menu

Click on "Service Programming"

QPST Service Programming will open up and a "Phone Selection" window will appear: Click your phone if needed, and press OK

Now select the "Roam" tab and click on "Read from Phone" button

Enter your MSL, OK

Click on the "Browse" button and select the PRL file you want on your phone

Click the "Write to Phone" button next to the "read phone" button

Wait for it to finish writing to the phone. You might (read as most likely) get an error box, click OK on it.

Once all that is done, you can reboot your phone and enjoy the changed PRL without nandroiding, nand-restoring/flashing, etc. etc. :D

I just want to mention that the first time I did it, I lost my Mobile Data connection (3g) and after a reboot it was stuck on 1x. After another reboot, it was back to normal. But I believe that it was because I tried a verizon PRL that drops my service to almost 0.

End results​

Yes, I know the status bars are 2 different colors. I have the Orion theme on my SDcard at the moment so it takes a little while to load up. But I assure you its the exact same CM7 rom and everything.

NICE JOB man i found the same thing was coming to tell you about the

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable

and to disable it

echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_disable

it may be echo 1 then > /dev/qct_diag_disable

i will test then edit post
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
it would be:

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable
echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_enable

to turn diag mode on and off, respectively

/dev/qct_diag_disable doesn't exist :)

You can check that with terminal emulator...

su
cd /dev/
ls
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Thought I'd mention that I've used this method easily more than 20 times between my phone and another hero with ZERO problems.

I know in the OP it might sound a little scary, the warning is mostly for screwing around with QPST in the areas not talked about.

When I click ADD NEW PORT, my phone is not showing up.
[Hero CDMA General] wrenched:
I am running Windows 7 Professional on my computer. For whatever reason, while trying to install the drivers and HTC sync, I could never get my phone to connect. I tried manually updating the diagnostics drivers to no avail. I fought with it for about an hour before saying forget it(not exact terminology). I am not sure if others have encountered this, but I will post my work around. I searched for a virtual machine solution with no results, so also not sure if its been talked about in other threads.

My job is programming controllers for building automation. I know a few pieces of our software will not work properly with W7. We have to run a virtual machine on our computers. Microsoft has been so kind that if you are running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can download, for free, an XP Virtual Machine. I'm going to assume, since what you guys are able to do with phones is over my head, you know what a Virtual machine is.

I apologize about the links, since I am a newbie, I can't post outside links, if you need the links, PM me and I will give them to you.

Here is the link to Microsoft's site where the VM ware is(I could only get IE Explorer to work, I normally use Firefox but it wouldn't work with the microsoft security): Google "XP Mode" The first link should be one to microsoft's website.

Go through the steps and download the xp mode and virtual machine. continue with the installation. With this, I installed Sync 2.0.40 with no problems. No additional drivers to install.

HTC Site: Under the downloads section on the HTC Site for the hero

Hooked up my phone. Everything worked as it should. I've now switched between a few different PRLS. I've been running CM7 and just switched to Jaybob's AOSP 2.3.5.

I'm not sure if this will ever help anybody, but I thought I would at least post it.
[Hero CDMA General] dirtsky:
Great guide man. This helps alot with changing the prl. I really got tired of flashing back to stock then back to cm7. 2 thumbs up.

edit: Well i tried this little tutorial and it didn't do crap for me.
[Hero CDMA General] tayzer522:
Nice guide, but that seems a lot harder than just doing a nandroid backup, flashing a sense rom (fresh in my case), updating PRL/Profile/etc, and restoring from your original backup.
[Hero CDMA General] xraypipeliner:
Im stuck on 1x data with the PRL 21081. Should I try updateing to fix this? Also my Wifi says error all the time and wont turn on if that has anything to do with it. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] hareofthedog:
After some initial difficulty getting setup (the main issue being the diagnostic drivers (vista drivers) listed in the link didn't work on MY 64 bit win7 setup. I did find an alternate source that worked, I'll link it here if I can track it down...) I was able to get this working, and once setup, it's a breeze. Definitely easier than going back to a sense rom to do it.

It was only the initial setup that was a pain. So, my hero took a couple hours of mucking around to ultimately update the PRL, BUT, took about 5 minutes to update my son's, and the bulk of THAT time was getting msl reader on his phone, and rebooting after the write to phone phase.

Awesome.
[Hero CDMA General] bdbc:
Yeah, if you can find the link to what worked for you with this process that'd be great. I had the same problem you mentioned when I attempted this with the wife's phone. But I never found the right drivers. I would be eternally grateful.
[Hero CDMA General] hareofthedog:
These are the ones that worked for me, found them here, of course, :o

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801570
[Hero CDMA General] bdbc:
Unfortunately this didn't change anything for me. I am trying to update the prl on an evo shift though, so that may be the ultimate factor after all. I may just have to give in and revert her phone back to stock temporarily to update it. I've used QPST many times with updating my Epic, so I'm certainly comfortable with that aspect. I thank you for your assistance nonetheless. Hopefully it will be the determining factor for someone else in a similar position.
[Hero CDMA General] codygs83:
will this method only work with cm7??
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
It should work with any ROM that has /dev/qct_diag_enable.

Use shell, terminal emulator, adb, root explorer, etc to check the /dev directory for it
[Hero CDMA General] arehm:
For whatever it is worth, I was able to do this with no problems. Thanks all.
[Hero CDMA General] XiXoXiXa:
Alright, I'm stuck -

With the awesome help of this forum, I was able to flash CM7.1 and make my hero awesome again.

Since then, I've been having network issues - seems like wherever I am I'm not getting the service I was under the stock ROM. Researching around here, I figured I'd give a new prl a shot, but for the life of me, after 3 hours of trying, I can't get QPST to see my phone. Rebooted machine and phone several times, hopped on one foot, hoped really hard, and still nothing.

I'm running Win 7 Ultimate (64bit).

I humbly submit to those much, much smarter than me for assistance.
[Hero CDMA General] Sh0wty:
i am having the same issue with CM 7.1 and a machine running Windows 7 32 bit. QPST will not find my phone at all..
[Hero CDMA General] wrenched:
have you attempted to run QPST in a Virtual XP Machine? When updating the PRL on my Hero, I found that for whatever reason, my computer would not see my phone while in W7 mode. I opened and installed my QPST on my Virtual machine(WXP), and everything worked just fine.
[Hero CDMA General] Sh0wty:
I will give that a shot. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA General] hareofthedog:
Hrm...I had used this method successfully before, attempted it this morning and can't get my phone to show up in QPST active phones (so retried add new port but nothing shows up there either).

So I rechecked /dev and there was no qct_diag_enable in there. (I'm running cm 7.1, maybe I did this originally before I switched.).

If that's really the issue, that might explain the problem for some.
[Hero CDMA General] AcIdSaMa:
This one or using the command

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable

has never worked for me when I go and check the enable file it says 0 even those i'm setting su or running it as a script in Gscript
[Hero CDMA General] I_69_98:
This worked after some many hrs......Evo 4g:D
[Hero CDMA General] cytherian:
I'm not able to get this to work, either with "echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable" or "echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable". The hash mark appears in response with no other indications and nothing happens. I tried this through adb shell on my computer as well as terminal emulator on my phone.

It used to be when I'd run QPST with my phone in diagnostic mode, I would see my phone on COM16. But my phone does not show up in devices, except as a drive letter (F:/) which does not appear in Windows Explorer (as I would expect since I don't have USB drive enabled).

I'm running CM7.2... is there something else I need to do? I don't understand how others are able to do it.
