See where it's like "Checking Systems", It would be awesome if someone (Hell, or maybe even me if I study how to do things like that) to add more things to be 'Activated'
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
you can make these yourself what you would do is take a animated gif and decompile it into many png's then replace them in one of the boot animation folders i might make a thread on that but i was working on shutdown animations last night and my internet went out so im behind right now...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tyler0309:
Dang man that succs. i hate when my internet even slows down, but thanks for trying it and take you time its no rush. the one i was looking at was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM4-3RKJXFc

but if you have any other would also like to see them as well. keep up the work
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
thats actually the one im working on right now.

i think i can figure it out by sometime tonight so keep checking back

could we maybe get this android particle animation?? (the one with the rotating circle on andy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
done enjoy(:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rinxx:
Thank you for filling my request!! But I seem to be having issues launching a custom skin.. after moving the renamed file to system/media under the name bootanimation.zip it boots up a dark screen and plays the samsung default boot song with no picture. Any help would be really appreciated.. running gingerbread clone
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
move it to data/local not system/media
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rinxx:
still not working

i also left out that im using supermanager instead of root explorer could that be the issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Did you enable root from the settings in super manager ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rinxx:
yes i did..i actually started the whole process again using root explorer.. same results samsung jingle and a black screen till interface comes on
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
can you try a different one and see if it works maybe the animation was screwed up
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rinxx:
Tried the rage, red , and green particle still no results :/ I appreciate everyones help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
go into system media and rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak

copy the file into data/local and rename it bootanimation.zip
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Thebacon:
How did you figure it out? I'm getting the same problem. Its saying its a read only file and name can't be changed.. help:confused:

What are the commands for flashing a rom in fastboot?

Ive tried

fastboot flash ----.zip

?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george1234567890:
Am doing this cause JOKERDROID4.2BUZZ.zip wont flash in clockwork mod 3.2.0.0 or 4.0.0.2. It flashes in 2.5.1.7 but boot loops. I am coming from cm7 what do you think?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
You can only flash a particular partition with Fastboot, like /system /data, Recovery, boot etc. AFAIK, You cant flash a Zip ROM as is the case with CWM.

You can check the list of Fastboot Commands here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot

Also, you got 2.5.1.7? Where? AFAIK Wildfire only has 2.5.0.7. Anyway, you can use Fastboot to replace your CWM 3.x or 4.x with 2.5.0.7, then try flashing Jokerdroid. Also, make sure you are performing a wipe (Factory Reset / Wipe data in Clockworkmod)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george1234567890:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Try Redownloading the ROM. Or, if you search the thread, there is one version which is clocked at 648MHz. Try that. Probably the high CPU clocks are not suiting your device.

EDIT: Scratch that. Its clocked at 710, so shouldn't cause an issue.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george1234567890:
Well after boot looping 5 or so times it rebooted cwm then rebooted system and bootlooped once but the powered up? Wierd!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex25288:
if you want to flash a .zip package:

fastboot update filename.zip

if you want to flash an img. file:

depending whether you want to flash a new recovery:

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

or a new ROM:

fastboot flash system filename.img

I do however strongly recommend erasing you current recovery before flashing a new one:

fastboot erase recovery

and do a full wipe (this will erase your data, recovery and system partitions)

fastboot erase system -w
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vladokapuh:
So i flashed my Desire with 'Reflex S v2.1.7 GingerBread 2.3.3 - Sense 2.1'

Everything works good, it's really fast, but i encountered 2 problems: (actually more, but i dealt with them..)

1. Email app (com.htc.android.mail) does not work. It Force Closes whenever i try to open it, or Sync All.

2. Contacts app (i think its HTC People in English; com.android.htccontacts) does Force Close when i do anything but watch them, or call. When i try to send message through this app it does FC, when i try to edit something, it also FC, same with creating.

Full wipe and re-flash doesn't solve it. (I restore apps and data through Titanium Backup, but it doesn't work even before i do.)

I'm new to forum, i hope i gave all info you need, in proper section, with proper title. I also hope my English isn't bad and you understood my problem.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I know you have tried already but re-download the STOCK reflex rom....

Full wipes as usual...

Neo said in the thread that Amon_ra is better recovery to use but I have never had problems with CWM

I'm a bit stumped, I did have to try 3 times on 2.1.6... no reason it just never flashed right.... 3rd time it was perfect

I'm gonna try tomorrow, cause i'm totally busy today :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vladokapuh:
OK. Wipe and reflash didn't solve these problems. For some reason few hours after wipe, Mail app stopped crashing, and now works! But still problem with editing and showing contacts.. still gives me FC :|
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan39:
It's strange but I've read something similar in other forums with the Reflex rom, as you can see in my signature is what I have. They have always solved these problems with full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache and flash again.

I really works great but it´s true that sometimes trying to change the Lock-screen I have to spend several times the files to finish doing what I want.

Hi i was just looking for some quick clarification if anyone is willing.

Boot into Clockwork Recovery. -DONE

Navigate to "mounts and storage". -DONE

Select "mount USB storage". -DONE

Copy /usr/src/tegratab/boot-custom-kernel.zip to the mounted filesystem. -HOW?

I tried adb push /usr/src/tegratab/boot-custom-kernel.zip /sdcard I dont believe it worked since nothing actually happened. I didnt even get my command line back. Im just waiting though, its been about 10 minutes though, I really dont think anything is happening. Actually it just finished, and now my tab is locked up. After I fix this I hope someone will be able to tell me how to properly install this. Also when I go into the android system then turn on usb storage device and try and drag and drop it says its going to take 3 hours?

I cant seem to figure out how to copy my file to "the mounted filesystem" I dont get a filesystem that I can drag and drop my zip into, I dont see or know of a command to do it through the terminal. So how can I accomplish this?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Need details--

Whose kernel is this? Is it for the gTab? Where was it compiled from (source)? Is it stable? Has it been tested? Why is the guy telling you to copy the zip file onto the internal SD via ClockworkMod when you can do it more easily by other means? Can I have a look at the contents of the zip file?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
really? in order to install it you have to know all that? The zip file is over 1.5 gigs.. How do you propose I get it to you?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
This kernel better be able to sing and dance for you if it's that big. What the hell is in there? I want to see what's in there now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
This is why I asked you for the details. A compiled kernel for the gTab, along with the most useful modules, plus the installer program, is about 3MB, max.

The complete Linux kernel source, uncompressed, is around 450MB. Compressed, it is ~100MB. A compressed 1.5GB file would therefore contain a heck of a lot more than just the kernel sources. What were you expecting to happen here? Ram a boat-load of source into the tablet and it should automatically compile and install everything for you?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
Actually no... I followed a link and followed directions and I actually thought I was doing well till I saw the size of the file... Im actually going to work on recompiling the kernel again. It was a version of pershoots but I think the tutorial I was working off of is incorrect as are most of them on the net. Im learning but sadly not at the pace I would like, Im new to linux and android. Thank you all for the help so far. I'll post what ive done here in a lil bit and I was wondering if I would be able to get advice on how to install it... Ill even link the tutorial I follow. Here it is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916198

Now that Ive gone over it again its an issue in the zipping... For some reason my 28.7M file zips to 1.6gb WTF? Here is the command I used

From inside the file where the contents is to be zipped zip -r /usr/src/tegratab/boot-custom-kernel *

Yes evey time I zip it it comes out to 1.6 gigs. The system file is is pretty small but after its been ziped it actually takes most of the 1.6gb... Could I possible send the meta file, kernel file, and system file? Or maybe someone could tell me how to correctly do this? Ive followed the directions in that link and thought I was getting a legit output but I guess that im not even close.

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY! I can save you 15% on car insurance...

Actually I was able to figure out what has happened... There were some symlinks that didnt get removed so it grabbed everything in that link and zipped it as well... after I fixed the issue it zipped correctly and I was even able to get it to install... Sadly the prolific driver for the 2303 is still not included even though it shows on the kernel menuconfig as being included, I guess Im going to try again and make it modular and see if I can get the driver file to install that way.. Ill let you know how it goes and also upload and link it if I can get it to work in case someone else wants to grab it and build off it. Im also planning on helping out the forums a little bit...

Thank you again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Attach the .config (kernel configuration file) so I can look at it.

Does running dmesg on the new kernel show the driver loading/initializing?

Are the /dev/ttyUSB* device files present? Are the permissions for those serial devices correct? I'm not sure what they ought to be, but try making them read+write for all--at least while you are testing things: chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB* as root.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
Here is actually the zipped kernel file. When it compiles it does show the drivers being installed, I just cant get the device to recognize the Prolific cable. Ive tried including them, Ive tried modular, im not sure how to make it work, or if there is something im missing entirely. Thanks again.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nil9bh3spu6sp78
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The binary is no use to me--I don't have your hardware. The .config file is what I need.

The real test is the dmesg output, not whether the driver is being compiled in.

However, I think your problem is that you've compiled the wrong driver. What you need is the driver for "Prolific PL-2301/2302 based cables" which is included by enabling:

config USB_NET_PLUSB

which depends on

config USB_USBNET and

config EXPERIMENTAL

The module will be called plusb.ko, I think.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
Sorry for being really uneducated on this. But I can not find any of thoes that you listed in the kernel. Also I cant even find the config file. I know where im targeting it from command line but if I try to move it it says file not found, and if I try and go there visually the file isnt there.

Id love to be able to upload what you want to see, and Id love to be able to add in the items you just suggested. But alas. neither seems possible.

Its honestly odd to me.. Ive been reading a couple different posts on the net that say you install this driver for the Prolific 2303. But not the PL2303.... So why is it included when it doesn't do what its supposed to do? Ive tried a lot of different methods and none of them work. It sucks cause I see people using it. Maybe Its not the kernel and its the android OS? I really have 0 clue at this point and about to just give my resignation at my employment.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The .config file will be present in the kernel's main directory (/usr/src/tegratab/gtab-2632/.config) if you have already built a kernel.

It looks like there are 2 drivers for Prolific hardware in the source tree. One is for host-to-host cables with Prolific chips (which is not enabled by default, and which, I think, is what you want), and the other for a Prolific USB serial port adapter (which is already enabled by default).

To build the module for the first, do a make menuconfig, then select:

Device Drivers > Network device support > USB Network Adapters > Prolific PL-2301/2302 based cables

However, you should verify what you have before you build the module. Do a "lsusb" then check the USB device IDs against the USB ID database in /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids on a regular Linux machine.

Hints:

0. See pershoot's hints to another user here and further along in the same thread.

1. Make sure that you have downloaded the correct pershoot kernel: froyo or gingerbread.

2. You don't need to include all the modules in your kernel zip file. Just overwrite the kernel proper (zImage), the wireless driver (bcm4329.ko) and then add only the prolific driver module. Otherwise you're just wasting space on the /system partition.

3. Sign the zip file after creating it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
Thank you so much for the attempt.

But my .config file is not located where you have directed me. I checked there before, I could send you a screen shot showing you this.

Thank you for showing me where the driver for the cables where, I would not have checked network adapters looking for USB.... Alas, this has not solved my problem. The cable is still undetected by the OS. Although almost EVERY other usb is detected.

Im really not sure why this wont work. It installs 100% fine I have 0 issues on this, but the Prolific 2303 usb to serial cable will not show up in log cat or anything.. Although when i adb shell and do lsusb I see it and it has a device ID and everything.

Thank you again for the help..
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
It is created in the kernel's top-level directory (ie. the same directory as the file REPORTING-BUGS) after you do "make menuconfig".

If you still can't find it, do,

find /some/path/ -name .config

after you've finished "make menuconfig". Replace /some/path/ with your kernel source dir (or / to search everything that is mounted).

If the driver is built as a module then the kernel will recognize it only after you have loaded the module. Load the correct module first, either plusb.ko or pl2303.ko, depending on your hardware, then check for detection/initialization messages from the module by issuing a "dmesg" command immediately after the "insmod /some/path/driver.ko" command.

Still lacking details:

1. Did you download the correct kernel--Froyo/GB?

2. Are you sure you're running the new kernel after flashing the zip file?

3. Did you insmod the correct module?

4. What is the USB device ID shown?

5. Did you run dmesg--not logcat--after you insmod'ed the correct module? Can I see that dmesg output?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKS1282:
I can not find a .config file anywhere on this computer. it just does not exist.

Yes I am using a gingerbread version.

Insmod does not install anything for me. Although I installed the modules before even packaging the kernel. Ive verified this by checking in the the correct driver files once installed.

I dont remember the device Id exactly but its something similar to 067b:2303

I didnt run dmesg, honestly, this is way beyond me. I have absolutely no clue what im doing at all... I wasnt even hired for this job.. I was supposed to create an app that will use this specific cable on this specific device, although they did not give me the device able to use the cable... So now I have to figure out how to do this, and im just going to resign and tell them im not a hacker im a developer. Thank you very much for your effort but I am turning in my resignation here now at the end of the day. Thank you again and I'll give you thanks.

You had asked a while back if dev/ttyUSBx has shown, and I did get that to show last night. its dev/ttyUSB0 Ive tried to use a usb to serial api but the app couldn't open the serial port... Im guessing because android does not support that (since they dont really support anything) I personally dont even understand why these things sell... Its a giant useless phone that can not make phone calls. Im in the wrong business I need to sell useless products to consumers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You a) didn't search correctly, b) haven't built the kernel yet, or, c) done a "make mrproper" and cleaned up.

Which ROM?

You cannot be vague about this. Run a Terminal emulator on the gTablet (download one from Market if needed), then type in the command in bold:

$ [B]lsusb[/B]

Send me the output of lsusb.

Steady on, mate--we'll get you sorted: Just send me the lsusb output and I'll build a kernel for you--if the current kernel sources include the driver code.

Does the app have permissions to read/write the device? Use the chmod command I gave in an earlier post to give permissions.

Next: once the actual hardware is connected to the Prolific cable, is data appearing on /dev/ttyUSB0? Run,

$ [B]hexdump -C /dev/ttyUSB0[/B]

to see if any data appears.

But, this depends on the device. Some devices need to be triggered, either electrically or by sending commands to the port, before they will send anything back. Other devices will spit data out as soon as power is applied to them.

Which kind is yours?
