[Verizon Droid Charge] futurejohn:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but BAC lite isn't working for me. When I open BAC, it says it can't find the boot animation file. It says if I've recently applied a fix (which I haven't) I can hit a button that says 'fix' on it or I can manually specify the boot animation file (I've looked and I can't find it).

Is anyone else having this problem? I'm on pbjt 730 for reference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Holy crap, that worked PERFECTLY. My phone boots up like it did its first time all over again :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Hit the button that says you've recently applied the fix. Then choose any of the animations and you should be set, however with imnuts new kernel I think whatever animation you choose will be the boot animation since that kernel supports changing it. Not to sure though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] futurejohn:
That fixed it and I'm able to change my boot animation. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Np
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rominucka:
Ok, so I reduced the width and height of the images, saved them as jpegs and reduced the number of folders from 11 to 5.

Now there's no lag. BAC Lite helped very little.

My problem now is that the animation is too fast. HAHA. Also it doesn't loop at the end. I'll figure that out.

This is a real pain in the ass, I'll tell ya.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
That happens to me, when I choose one of the new animations is stays that new one, and won't let you backup since it isn't traditional bootanimation.zip for our phones. Imnuts is working night and day to get this fixed for us, hope he has time for job...
[Verizon Droid Charge] ssmaster:
Sorry I don't have the animation. In fact I am looking for it as well, if it is available. Someone please pass it along. Thank you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
Pm me, ill try to get it to you tomorrow
[Verizon Droid Charge] bama9393:
original droid charge animation

Could someone please send me the original boot animation for the droid charge. My backup it corrupted.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
sure. where's the original located? i don't see anything in /system/media nor /data/local.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bama9393:
d-loko

Make a backup with the app 'Boot Animation Changer LITE' and look on your sd card. It will be there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tysdad08:
Has anyone got the stock bootup yet I really like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
Ill get them posted for you in a few
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
place the two qmg files in system/media

the wav file into system/etc

DO NOT INSTALL WITH CWM!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tysdad08:
Thanks dude.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tysdad08:
Ok so that worked I'm back to stock bootup but now it's all laggy guess I can't have both can I.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
Trying this tonight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
Downloaded the app with IMNUTS new kernel, and ended up switching the bootloader screen. I would LOVE to have the original back. I downloaded the files, moved them into the correct folder using a File Manager. Yet it still uses the "new" bootloader. How do I get the original back after copying the files?

Edit: Went into #Charge in andirc and they helped me out.

Hey man, i just installed multiling keyboard on 2.3.3 official, but i cant use it.

I cant found any option to change default keyboard to multiling.

Is safe if i uninstall default SE keyboard from TB? And which file i should remove (i mean what the keyboard name?)?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I just applied an Anti-Glare Screen Protector to my G2X with Screen-Bleed, and it's become much less noticeable. A lot of people complain about screen bleed, personally, I don't mind it, but the screen protector helped a bunch!

All you really need to do is buy an Anti-Glare Screen Protector, and apply it. I bought 3 for $2.99 on eBay.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Would you submit pictures?

It doesn't seem likely that screen protector will minimize the screen bleed...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I never said it minimized screen bleed. It just makes it less noticeable. If I post pictures, it's not going to prove anything. I'd have to remove my screen protector to compare the results.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intense21:
Looking for the newest OTA with the latest radio. Also was wondering what the MD5 hash is for? Also how do I know if I have S-OFF.

Sorry for the newb post there are just so many post with different info.

my phone

original root, HTC thunderbolt stock, no OTA updates original baseband radio

ok I am trying to use clockwork mod recovery to apply /sdcard/PG05IMG.ZIP

Finding update package....

opening update pagage.....

Installing update.....

Installation aborted.

Signature check failed.

???

what am I doing wrong.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorcycle:
latest radio OTA is MR2 OTA radio, 1.170.605.0, 1.39.00.0627r, works with MR2, GB, or Hybrid roms

MD5 Checksum is for validating your download so you don't try to flash a incomplete or problem download. Google for a MD5 App.

You can check for S-Off through hboot.

1. Power off device.

2. Hold down volume.

3. Press power to turn on.

4. Release power, hold in volume till at hboot.

White screen with the android skaters at bottom. top of screen tells if S-on or S-off.

Are you Rooted? You say original root does that mean stock rooted, or?

You have to have Root access.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intense21:
thanks for the info. I rebooted into the H bootloader and installed the radio MR2, now I don't have any cell reception at all. I didn't wipe the Dalvik cache, but how do you wipe if you can't do it from the H-boot??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
if you are on original firmware, I think you need the MR1 radio or you won't have signal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intense21:
Ok I downloaded the dedexed stock Rom 1.70.605.0 with radio. and installed radio under h boot and ROM under clockwork mod. Seems to be working good. Thanks guys.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
ok, first of all I'd like to state that I am not in fact trolling. This is a serious question from one dev to another. I have been devving on android for almost 2 years now and have been devving on wp7 for around 3 months. Studies have shown that despite the clear difference in market share that people who are developing the same app for each OS are making quite a bit more for wp7 and even more for ios of course due to app pirating. I understand why all these rooting and rom apps and over locking apps are made but why would anyone spend all the time to develop a game when the security is so minimal that any app could be either just stolen or given a crack without issue. Its sad really to see developers hard work go unrewarded but app pirating is way too easy. You can go download a folder with 10000 apks of all these different games on a torrent site in about a minute and honestly its sad. I really don't see how android devs survive without ad support.
[General Questions and Answers] jags_the1:
lol... there are bad people in this world.. and everyone can become a bad person.. so everyone desires to be one? so everyone becomes bad.. nope

k do this.. go to your android market.. search for robo-defence..look at its price.. and look at its downlaods, it will say >500,000 and it cost 2.90 dollars

i think ill do the maths

thats around 1450000 dollars ...

obviously developer actually dint make this much .. but u get my idea.. he made a lot of money .. and if for instance he thought like u .. he would have not made all that money. he dint allow negativity to take over him.

and people who look for un-faithfull means.. find it.. and there are many who know about piracy but they have human values , they always pay.

and trust me there are so many who wodnt even know about where to find these pirated apps .. they actually dont care . These people pay
[General Questions and Answers] saurabh88:
You are absolutely right my friend.even though I know where I can find those pirated stuff I bought talking tom, fruit ninja, file downloader plus from the market.respect you in this aspect that people pay
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
well I'm on wp7 I i understand paying for apps. I've bought 13 Xbox live titles. Robo defense though has been around since my g1 was still a big device, pirating android apps didn't really start til after the Verizon droid came out and android went mainstream, sure it was there but it wasn't so easy. My stepmom could not navigate Facebook on her computer but she knows how to pirate apps, its made too easy. When I paid 9.99 for zenonia the day it came out and my friend pirated it for free 3 days I i was pretty peeved. These things are just far too easy on android and right now I'm considering if it's worth porting my new RPG over to android or not...
[General Questions and Answers] mrrick:
Are you trying to say that you cant pirate wp7 apps? Or that wp7 users have better morals than us droids?
[General Questions and Answers] aFo3262:
Every platform has piracy. Apologies if it's not right to discuss it here, but jailbreak WP7 and you're free to sideload XNA apps at no cost. Not ethically right, but possible. Exploits will always be found.

It has to do with the user base. As a mass market platform, the vast majority of Android users don't know or care about sideloading applications. You overestimate the lengths people will go to to save one or two dollars. If the right app is available for one click downloading, the convenience outweighs digging around for the right apk file. Same reason why iTunes was so successful in combating music piracy. Make piracy the less appealing option.
[General Questions and Answers] simaka:
When I was a young poor student I was going to the torrent sites for all the software i use. Today i use linux at home( i'd buy a legal os otherwise) and buy all my apps from the market.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Exactly, why bother going to the effort of hunting around the net, finding an old version of the apk, risking warez sites throwing malware etc at you, just to save $1.99

Yes there is piracy of WP7 apps too, and with such a small market share, there's the potential for it to hit developers' incomes far greater. So perhaps the question should be "Why develope for WP7 when piracy can have a greater impact?"

Think about it, if you've got a large enough market share that 10% piracy still leaves you with a large income from legitimate sales, then although it's a pain, it's still making you lots of money, where as if your sales are low due to the few users who own the device you're developing for, you need that 10% to make a reasonable amount as you can't have the same number of sales as the more popular operating systems.

If I sell $100,000 worth of bananas and it turns out $10,000 was actually stolen, then that still leaves $90,000 in my pocket.

But if I sell only $1000 worth of bananas and $100 were actually stolen, then I've only got $900 in my pocket.
[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
I guess because the majority of users will stay pay for a game or app that they want.

It's the same with PC software and games...many people crack and download them for free, but the majority will still pay for them.
[General Questions and Answers] rogier666:
You have to jailbreak iOS and WP7 to sideload apps. That means that >90% of iOS/WP7 users will have to pay.

You can sideload apps on Android straight out of the box without rooting, which makes piracy just as easy as on desktop operating systems.
[General Questions and Answers] dardragon:
And yet people are still making computer programs.

To some developers the trade off is worth it even when you factor in piracy. Look at how many indie games don't have drm making an app is pretty much the same. There are enough people who will buy the app to make a living off of
[General Questions and Answers] Klemzy123:
ok, that is very interesting
[General Questions and Answers] rogier666:
Of course.

Piracy is just a bit of background noise. Most pirates wouldn't have bought the app anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Tricky-Design:
What I get from the people around me, is that if the app is good enough or do fit their needs, they're willing to pay for it.

I like to see it this way:

When I get hungry I go to a vending machine a buy let say a Mars or something for 1 euro.

When I'm bored and I have to wait for a few minutes, I look on the android market and buy a funny game for about that same amount of money.

I hope that other users see it the same way. The amount that an app or game will cost is so small, that most probably will spend more in the weekend on a beer.
[General Questions and Answers] rogier666:
An app is not a Mars bar.

Candy bars are not free. If you want a Nuts or a Bounty instead of a Mars you'll still have to pay.

For every paid app there's a free alternative. Usually there are many free alternatives, and the market has a built-in feature to find the free beer.

The Android Market has a "related apps" link. What other markets force their merchants to provide free advertising for their competitors in their very own market stall?
[General Questions and Answers] mrrick:
Spot on.

Ive paid for damn near every app on my phone. I appreciate the work and am more than willing to contribute. And still, all in all, ive spent maybe 15bucks total in the past 4months. Seriously, apps are one of the more affordable ( and not to mention hella convenient) luxuries in this day and age(and in this economy).

Try and go see a movie these days? How much?

Go buy a board game at wal- mart? How much?

Go to the arcade? (if you can find one anymore) how much?

Go buy a book at books a million? How much?
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
you should really look at the general profit margins from OS to OS, even your average developer makes more on wp7 than android because as someone already stated, there's a free version of pretty much everything on android and what's not can be pirated. Then there's the fragmentation for every app that was made for 2.1 plus. Sure, you CAN pirate on wp7, its a long, complex process that doesn't work fully on Xbl games and actually requires some knowledge, its not androids out-of-box pirating or iOSes one click jailbreak with everything done for you. Its the only OS that adds some level of complexity to doing such things and that little bit is more than enough for your average user.
[General Questions and Answers] KrisHilbun:
Next OS ; WHY CANT I MAKE AS MUCH ON WP7 APPS random_os001 makes more WAHHHH

[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
Hi, I have searched and read the related threads in the forum about SGS2 charging issue. It is true that the phone charges really slowly compared to other phones. I just tried playing a game and charging at the same time and the result is the phone was barely charging, which I think is a ridiculous. It means the power consumption when playing a game is almost equal to power being charged.

How about everyone else's charging time? I read before it seems Samsung capped the charging rate at 700mA. Not sure if it's true.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Being a high powered phone, it consumes a lot of battery power when being used and very little when in standby. So if you want to charge it at full rate, don't use the phone at the same time.

Without using the phone, my average charging time has been 3 hours and 43 minutes to get from totally flat 0% to 100%. Normal daily charge from about 20% to 100% takes 3 hours.

The charging rate is capped so that the battery and phone does not over heat during charging. An overheating battery will expand and possibly explode, thus potentially causing phone damage and user injury. That is why the charging rate is limited.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Same as posted before zero to full about 3 hours .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Same here...more than 3 hours for 0-100%...even this reduced charging heats up the phone..
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
KE series of firmware charged really slowly, but it was fixed after KE7 I think. With the latest KG3, charging from 0 to 100 is done in 2.5 hours with wall charger.

Also don't forget that this phone has a 1650 mah battery. Don't expect it to fill it up at the same time as a 1300 mah one found in most other phones.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
i usually charge at 20%. i also get about 3 hours to full charge
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
I still think someone should increase the charge current and see how it fares. It's all about tweaking and testing.
[Galaxy S II General] SherlockR:
Charge the phone turned off, that's the fastest way to charge it.
[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
Well personally I think it's kind of counter productive if the phone can't charge properly when you use it at the same time.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
So why don't you do it yourself and tell us how it goes?
[Galaxy S II General] JamesHillyer:
Bump

Would be nice to see in Cog or Vill :)
[Galaxy S II General] Cofalik:
So how much truth is in statement that you can't use navigation, listen to MP3s and charge via car charger because your phone will be discharging anyway?

Now that most of us have s-off and custom recovery, we need some customizations to hold us over until the roms start flooding in.

I saw a Portal 2 boot animation and got the bootanimation.zip from the teaser thread, but flashing it did a whole lot of nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
I want that boot animation too

E3D
[HTC EVO 3D] walkingcorpse:
I'm anxiously awaiting some boot screens tailored for the 3d too. Cant wait
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
You can use existing boot animations here is how:

Find the one you want and download it

Rename the boot animation to Sprint_bootanimation.zip

Use root explorer to go to /system/customize/resource find Sprint_bootanimation.zip copy it to a safe place

Get back to /system/customize/resource and delete Sprint_bootanimation.zip(in root explorer you have to mount r/w)

Then copy and paste the new Sprint_bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource

The stock animation is 540 x 960

I have tried a few and it works fine, but i'll be waiting for some 3d anim.
[HTC EVO 3D] blaz4me:
http://alpharev.nl/bootanimation.zip try this one yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] smokin1337:
I just did works fine, looks like a star wars scene mixed with a blue droid eye. I'm gonna use it for a while.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
I'm running the gingerclone rom and went ahead and let the update do it's thing just so that i'd stop getting the damn notification. I'm well aware that the update doesn't actually work when rooted/rom'ed/etc.

my question is; how do i update (after odin stock, etc)? do i just go to software update? is it even possible to still update after i already (technically) did it?

my goal is to flash the new kg2 'rom' sdu posted

thanks boys.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The rom I posted/am posting won't actually look any different to you, as it's stock, it just has some backend changes called deodexing, that basically allows for theming and customization by the rom creators. If you used the odin stock KG2 from ayoteddy that was recently posted, you are already on the new update. If you only used the old KD1 odin post, then you can either download and flash my update, or just use ayoteddy's KG2 odin.
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
Im trying to find a way to push the stock android dialer stock contacts, and stock calendar to my phone. Is the only way to do this to install a rom??

I dont mind waiting for cyanogen but honestly "for me" my phone without the bloatware seems as fast as I need it and I dont really need all of the extra options. But having the stock dialer, stock contacts, stock calendar would be really nice.

From what im finding so far is that the only way this will happen is with a whole rom flash.

[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
Google wireless tether pre14, always worked flawless for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
This one is working for me, but only on 4G. I haven't been able to get it to work with 3G. Barnacle won't work on 3g for me either though, not sure why. Although thats okay, I'd rather it work on 4G than 3G anyways.

You need to go to the settings on this, and check the box that says "Routing Fix". After that, you should be good to go for tethering on 4G only.

If anyone knows how to get it working on 3G, please let me know.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
I also tried Barnacle and it works fine. Speeds are kinda slow (prob my signal) otherwise it was painless.
