[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IVXX:
I tried something new and made a yaffs.img backup then tried to restore, my phone rebooted to bootloader screen but wont boot up and i cant get into my cmw recovery either...anybody got any ideas how to restore so i can boot up again? I have rebooted bootloader,factory reset,and even placed every ".img" i can think of in the root of my sdcard and still no luck any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Have you flashed the RUU in hboot? If you can't get into recovery I guess you'd have to use a card reader to get it on your SD, but hopefully you can try that.
[HTC Desire S] gr3yh0und:
Can anyone tell me the best custom rom for our DS Currently S-OFF and rooted I tried the Virtuous Unity, its good but there is something I don't like.

Is there anyway to backup my custom rom and come back again after flash?

Like if I change my Virtuous Unity to Coredroid and come back again and do it many times
[HTC Desire S] MoneyFist:
None are really best. It's all preference.

However the Saga LBC rom is the first DesireS rom released and seems to be the most up-to-date with regards to tweaks and fixes.
[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
if someone like me uses Launcher pro, and doesnt need any of the HTC sense stuff, which rom would be more ideal?

i just want it to be fast, smooth, save battery, and have everything working (including adhoc wifi)
[HTC Desire S] gr3yh0und:
@thunder9111

We almost got the same preference, I like to customize stuff and put tons of apps too. I'm currently using Virtuous Unity, So Far so good. No Problems at all. But I'm afraid I got a high mem usage like 400MB Plus is it normal or the same as other roms?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
there is no ideal rom cause we dont got CM7 yet then

anyway i would use a sense 2.1 rom cause it takes less memory then sense 3.0
[HTC Desire S] rotem:
Another thumb up for the SAGA LBC! Its fast, beautifully and everything is working!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightmastertech:
I recently bought a MyTouch 4G from someone on Craigslist. It came with the stock rom on it and I could access the web using my "Unlimited Web for Phones" service. I rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0rc1 and can't access the web anymore unless I'm on Wifi.

Does anyone know what apn settings could have been used that would have worked?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
Use the search feature. Look in the cyanogenmod dev thread. Search Google. Look in the stickies in the dev section.

All of these will give you results with 10 seconds of effort.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dung8604:
This exact same thing happened to me. Your sim card is not configured correctly to take advantage of the 4g capabilities. take the phone and sim to a t mobile store and tell then what's going on and they should give you a new sim and configure it correctly
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightmastertech:
I don't think my area has 4g coverage, just 3g. I'm gonna take it to T-Mobile tomorrow to see what they say tho.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
Or you could just go to the coverage map on T-mobile.com and check yourself.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pheer6224:
I just ordered my SK4G, and after trying one out, am itching to get the bloatware off. Would it be possible to remove the FB/Twatter shortcut with Metamorph?

I am planning to run stock 2.2.1 w/SuperOneClick & CWM (until a good Cyanogen port hits), and have at least some experience dealing with franchise device bs. In-depth h4x much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, 31337 of XDA
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gearhead27:
Settings > Display > My Social Network Status

Unchecking that will get rid of the update pane in the notification panel, but you lose the pane with the toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, and auto rotate.

I leave mine checked and just swap to the toggle pane when I start up the phone. It doesn't swap back to the status update pane unless you turn off the phone, so it doesn't get too annoying.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pheer6224:
Groovy. I suppose I can wait until that little frivolity is patched along with Gingerbread, unless Cyanogen hurries up, what a weird place to put a setting like that... 0.o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pheer6224:
Thanks, the fix worked fine. Btw I'm using Widgetsoid in place of it for customizeable settings buttons.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad1810141:
Guys,

I have been flashing roms for a year now and as stupid as this sounds I want to go 100% stock bloatware the lot with telstra, on my gt-i9000t in australia, every link I find is either dead or when I have flashed it is just a base rom, none of the telstra stuff is there, does anyone have this and is able to post it all up or does it even exist?? I have literally tried every rom you guys have built and loved them all in one way or another but until I can learn to do it myself I just want to go stock... anyone! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duck44:
*bump*

Brad, I am also looking for stock telstra I9000T FW, either 2.1 or 2.2 will do :)

Hoping somebody has them!

Thanks.

*Important*

This thread is for discussion of the boot animations linked below - questions, complaints, comments, feedback etc.

If you have an idea for a boot animation or request? > Post it in this other thread only please <

Android [GEARS] *NO TAGS*

Preview Video <v.2>

Android [GEARS] is a replacement mod for the stock ANDROID loading logo animation with a touch of Honeycomb colors and flavor.

Android Recovery animation - but flashy!

Animated Gears and eye candy! *heart pounding android luv (v.2)*

Tinted HC blue to be different than "recovery green"

Loops until tab is fully loaded

Should work on any cousins of the a500 running HC @1280x800: eg Eee Pad etc. Use at your own risk, however.

Android [GEARS] v.1>video by HarshReality<

Starting at the smallest size @4.2mb :

>Preview a single Android [GEARS] v.1 frame here<

>Download the Android [GEARS] v.1 boot animation attached below<

Android [GEARS] v.2 *with added snazzification*>video here<

A little fatter @4.7mb :

>Preview a single Android [GEARS] v.2 frame here<

>Download the Android [GEARS] v.2 boot animation attached below<

Want something different!? You have another option here: Acer a500 Boot Animation [CombBar v.1]

And three more here: Acer a500 Boot Animation [v.Clean, v.ACER & v.Full]

I hope you enjoy these (or at least the one you use) - I welcome any feedback. And if you have a moment, tell me which one you're using and why. If you're not an XDA member, sign-up already!

Sweeeeeeet dude! You're fast! Very nice one mate!
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Thanks man (: Glad you like it.

I'm going to be using this one for a while - I'm digging it the most (;
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Just tried it, it's very nice it lags a bit in the first second or two but then it's fine.

Very nice work bro!

Can any one please provide me with simple step by step guide to apply these bootamination for my unrooted HC 3.1 Iconia A500?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Updated OP:

removed dropbox link and added Android [GEARS] v.2 as an attachment.

I dropped the bit depth down to 256k which cut out almost half the file size (from 9+mb down to 4+mb) Result = a much faster load with little noticeable difference in quality - (some might notice it but it's barely perceptible for the rest of us)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Im sure ill notice it ;)

Cheers mate!
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
No. You can use a file explorer with root permission to place the file in /system/media.

You can also try placing it in /data/local.

[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I was using one of your other boot animations (the Acer A500 Clean) but after seeing the gears, I had to go for it. Completely awesome, and a very easy way to give the old tablet a bit of a personalized touch. Thanks, you rock!

P.S. the extra snazziness scared me, I didn't know if I could handle that much awesomitude at one go, so I went for the V1.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Awesome! Thanks for the video - I'll add the link to the OP (:

v2 is essentially the same but has a more of a double-pump /heart beat effect with a touch more zip and *does jazz-hands* Pizzazz!

v1 is definitely the 'toned' down version.

Thanks for all the kind words everybody - I'm happy to hear you're digging it (:
[Acer Iconia A500] JaeKar99:

Sorry..

I would also like to apologize to gammaRascal for intruding on his thread..
[Acer Iconia A500] Anrio:
Thx! Very nice bootscreen.
[Acer Iconia A500] [XRSIST]:
Works great thankyou OP.

For people without root, remember to enable USB debugging for ADB to work.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yet another great job!

IMHO adding this one to the end of your "Frosty" animation, instead of having the static Droid would be awesome!
[Acer Iconia A500] gamualexander:
If I delete it from these locations - will it revert back to default?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
As I understand it, by adding a new bootanimation.zip file, like the ones I've released, you overwrite the vanilla version (stock android bootanimation).

If you delete the bootanimation and there is no bootanimation, I think it will just be blank as it loads. (cant confirm that)
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@gammaRascal thanks for your previous tips re boot animation. My first attempt is attached, it's not all that good but one has to start somewhere! In answer to what you raised, I have found that if bootanimation.zip is in /data/local and you either delete it or disable it (re-name) thereby having no boot animation file in that folder then my A500 boots into the standard "Acer" screen followed by the "android" screen and eventually starts. Should anyone be tempted to try my animation then the "bootanimation.zip" file is placed in /data/local. If you already have one there just re-name it to save it and you can put it back when you've messed about with mine.

STOP PRESS - can't upload the file it's too big!!
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
I see the max size for a zip file attachment is 8Mb - Mine is 41.5Mb
[Acer Iconia A500] tnkoh22:
I have tried using root explorer to place the zip file under /system/media, reboot but it does not work for me.

Tried /data/local as well. What had went wrong with mine?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
metpolds, what are you trying to attach that is 41+mb? A boot animation of your own?

That, to me (and this is by no means a qualified opinion) is too huge for a boot animation.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Which file are you using?
[Acer Iconia A500] tnkoh22:
bootanimation_v2.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Make sure you rename it bootanimation.zip and haven't been just putting bootanimation_v2.zip into the directory.
[Acer Iconia A500] tnkoh22:
Got it, thanks for questioning my noob question.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Deleted - wrong thread
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Removed not the right place
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@gammaRascal - My apologies, on re-reading this complete thread I realise I was confusing it with one of your other threads"What Would You Like To See In A Boot Animation". In that thread you had given me some pointers to creating an animation and I now realise that it was most improper to dump an amateur animation in this thread of yours. I am going to delete it and possibly start a new thread where posters can submit their bootanimation efforts. Once more my apologies.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Thanks for that consideration. (:
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Beautiful

V2 beautiful and entertaining to watch at boot up.

For those of you needing a file manager with root access for free: try ES File Manager; don't forget to go into the "root" section in settings and turn on both choices before trying to copy the file into the system/media folder though.

Great job Dev! :)

[Acer Iconia A500] mayhem1983:
thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] jhearrtot:
EDIT: I managed to make it work. Used root explorer and navigated to /data/local and pasted here bootanimation.zip even if there's no old bootanimation.zip to replace/backup in this location. restarted and voila! :)

thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Do I flash these boot animations with CWM?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Heya Agentfazexx .. I'm not sure how to answer that since I'm not familiar with CWM or flashing... I'll defer to your experience and just say that the bootanimation.zip just needs to be in /data/local - if you downloaded bootanimation_v2.zip - rename it and remove the _v2 part so it only reads as bootanimation.zip.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Thanks. And I presume that removing this will revert back to the "android" boot animation?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
No idea. Someone said it will revert back to the stock boot animation but I haven't done this so I couldn't say.

If your concern is about updates, with a custom boot animation installed, then don't worry about it. The updates (as far as I know and I've gone through OTA incremental and 3.1) don't pay any attention to the boot animation. When I rebooted, it

wasn't

overwritten and it updated/booted fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] popoyaya:
Awesome! Best boot animation for Android.

Any chance you could do a version for 1024 x 600 tablets?

Also a 480 x 800 portait mode for phones?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
All you need to do is edit the desc.txt file inside the zip to your dimensions ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Loaded v2.......Looks real good. Best so far. It should come with a WARNING

--NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY--
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I just picked up an LG Optimus T from T-Mobile - I will definitely be doing a bootanimation for it but whether its a redo of [GEARS] or something new, I don't know. Rooting and tweaking first.

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:

Modified Animation Not Working

Sorry if this is considered necro-ing.

I tried to modify your Android Gears v2 boot animation to work on my OnePlus 2. I modified all the images so that they were all 1080×1920, and then changed the first two numbers in desc.txt to 1080 1920. I compressed the file with store, moved it to /system/media, and changed permissions to rw-r--r--.

I would attach the .zip file I modified, but I can't find an "attachment" button.

Is there something I did incorrectly? Could you please help me by making a version for my phone? Thank you!

EDIT: I was able to make a version that worked on my phone using the Bhoot app. It's uploaded as "Android Gears" and this thread was listed as its source.
