Updated the first post with a bash script to automate the entire process.

Yesterday I've succesfully recompiled the stock kernel and I'm thinking on write another guide like this one on the subject.

The process is a little complicate, i'm looking for an easy way to explain but it's hard.

Anyway I'm working on it in my spare time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SammyC:
That would be great if you could.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] raypou:
ASUS haven't (yet) released the source for the kernel in their latest 3.2 build. If you've updated to 3.2, you can still root and repackage using this method. Just use nvflash to save off the kernel from your running device as per the backup/restore thread, then use bootunpack on that and follow the rest of the instructions
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rebound821:
it's exactly the method used here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198303

If anyone interested, here're win32 binaries of BlobTools and BootTools

Just compiled from git repo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nex7er:
I unpacked a rom with a kernelblob in the root directory, and edited init.rc. Which command should I use to repackage it? If I follow the guide (instead of boot.img I used kernelblob, no extension) I get the EEE Pad logo then scrambled, colored lines all over.

If I, however, install the base rom, then the one where I changed something in the kernelblob, it boots up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Hi, makebootimg.exe doesn't work. It gives error saying: error: could not load kernel 'blob.LNX-kernel.gz'

Tried same files in linux and worked fine.

Can you try to fix this?

EDIT: tried to compile myself but got the same issue. I think is related with the need to change source code to make this run on windows.

Could this method be used to pack a new Splash Screen? (I want to change that annoying ASUS logo to something better) Would I go about the Flash_Image method to flash the image after compiled? (I do Not have NvFlash, but I am rooted with Cwm)

Which blobs would I modify as well, just the EBT?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] serti6610:
Hi Sir,

First of all thankyou for you guide because I did follow you guide and created the insecure boot.image succesfully. I still have one problem, after flashing the boot.image, I still could not root the android device. Why is that? Do I need to change something else in the boot.img?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vysotskij:
Hello all!

This is my first post here, and english isnt my native language, so please be gentle with me ;-)

The last couple of days i´ve been having problems with my transformer! The screen is suddenly not as responsive as before, more precisely at the right hand of the screen, beginning just over the taskbar (when powerbutton is in the upper left corner). This problem after i upgraded the firmware for the dock (european verision, if there is such a thing). Thats why i suspect that ive got some kind of software issue, and not an hardware issue.

Anyone else got this problem? Or any suggestions? Perhaps i should wait for 3.2 to arrive in Europe, some day soon, before i send it in for repairs?

Yours sincerly

[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Is our notification led multicolored or is it just red/green? Now that we have full root i was wondering if we could use handcent to modify the colors of the led! Thanks for the help
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
Unfortunately the only colors we have and will ever have are: red,amber and green. This is a limitation of the phone itself and cannot be changed.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Damn, how hard would it be for HTC to throw in a multicolored LED... oh well, i am def more than happy with the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I'm hoping that the 3d has the 2nd LED light like the Evo 4G did. That was kickass and very convenient for getting notifications when the phone is charging.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get some parts of TouchWiz back on AOSP, well, in my case MIUI.

Thanks to some information in the Galnet thread I've managed to get touchwiz-framework into place and SamsungApps is working, so is TouchWizCalculator.

However, when I try to install TouchWizCalendar.apk it fails with the "Application not installed" and the only thing I see in logcat is: No content provider for:.

And that's it. Since it's not even telling me which ContentProvider it's missing I have no idea how to fix this. My guess is I need to decompile the thing but what then...

I was wondering if anyone here could nudge me in the right direction?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
For anyone unaware, refer here. So a few days ago I was just charging my phone by my desk, and it had fully charged. At that point, I didn't really bother to unplug it as I had no need to use the phone. However, later on (about an hour or so later) when I took it out, it remained at 100% where as if I took it out immediately it would drop to 97%

It's probably not even a fix, just something that may help people if they want 100% battery. I don't know if it actually works for everyone, or I just get lucky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] s30ckf:
Is this a feature right? where the power auto cut while charging reached 100% ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
Yeah it's a feature, just for me sometimes it goes to 100% when I unplug it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] desewer:
apologies for bumping up the old thread

i had JV1/JVP firmware with speedmod kernel installed about 3 months ago. Problem was, the battery would NOT charge once it reached 100%.

i.e. I left the charger plugged into the phone and used the phone to play games, surf the internet (data usage) etc, believing that the phone would stay charged because it was plugged in.

However, after I unplugged the charger (approx. an hour of phone usage) the battery was like 20~30% this was shocking....

at that time, whenever i reached full batt i had to unplug the charger. else i would be getting false 100% batts all the time.

problem solved when i flashed to JVR.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
This morning everything was fine. I was able to receive voice mail's via Google Voice and text through the stock messenger app (on CM7 nightly)

I went ahead and installed Deck's ROM and instead of restoring Google Voice via MyBackup Pro I just installed it fresh from the Market. This is where the trouble began. Fast forward...I restore my Nandroid of CM7 nightly (where i previously had NO problems) and this is what is happening:

1. Text are only coming through the Google Voice app...I can send text through the stock messaging app but cannot receive them.

2. When I pick up a phone call I now get a message stating I should press (1) to take the call or (2) to send it to voicemail!

This is driving me INSANE!!! I have a feeling that this new Google Voice integration with Sprint is what the problem is. I have no idea how to fix the problems listed above...please help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Ok. I went to google.com/voice and logged in to access some options that aren't available through the APP. I was able to disable the "Call Screening" So now phone calls are received as normal.

However, I still can't figure out how to stop this POS Google Voice from messing with my text messages. Now when I get a text I get only a google voice notification and no stock messenger app notification. this is retarded!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggiedarden:
In the Google Voice settings you have to check the option to receive text messages on this phone. If you have that and inbox sync turned on you will get text messages in both the messaging app and GV. It's annoying but it does work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretchwookie:
my only fix for this was to disable inbox sync, but have voice send me texts when i get a new voice mail. its so super annoying...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dthomas03:
There is a workaround. Just figured it out so thought i would share.

Go to phone (first tab in voice settings) > edit settings > very bottom - check you would like to receive text messages on this phone & save settings.

Problem should be solved.

Hope this helped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movingarrows:
Yep, you have to edit the settings for your phone, when it shows what numbers you have under your account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulazki:
Dude, I had this same issue, yes you can disable the pressing 1 option, but i disabled google voice about 50x on my phone, and i did about 5 factory resets, called sprint 5 different times talked to 10 different reps.. I literally tried everything for over a month to fix my texting issue, If i didn't use google voice i couldn't receive a text on my phone.. Sprint literally suggested that i just get a new insurance phone and that they would waive my $100 fee, which i wound up having to do... If you are unable to get text messages on your native app there is NO fix for it.. Don't waste your time trying.. I literally spent hours a day for a month uninstalling and reinstalling google voice, factory resetting, downloading every messaging app, reinstalling the messaging apk's.. Having sprint change my number and reset my phone.. There is nothing you can do.. The only way to fix it is to get a new phone.. Which unfortunately causes you to lose root.. Just giving you the heads up.. I'm in no way a noob and i'm extremely good with my EVO.. I'm rooted and have ran basically every ROM out there, and I've made 100 posts on google voice forums and on XDA and even called every rep at sprint to try and fix it.. To this day i've read this happening to probably over 50 people and Not a single one of them ever found a fix, and ever single post i read the original poster said they had to get a new phone to fix it.. and i'm just another number on that list, as i now have a 2.3.3 unrooted evo because of this= / Sorry man.. stay away from google voice.. They offer 0 tech support or live help and there is no fix for this issue as of yet.

Everyone will tell you, just go to google.com/voice and click 'disable' under the gear in the top right hand corner.. But i did this literally over 50 times and i would install and uninstall google voice over and over and over, and nothing i did would fix my texting issue.. You can try.. but i'm telling you it's not going to fix it.. Even a factory reset and not logging into my google account wouldn't fix it.. I have no idea what causes it, but somehow it permanently blocks your ability to receive text messages without their google voice app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dairugger:
i am also having the same problem. after installing google voice to recieve voice messages on my sprint htc evo i no longer recieve text through my stock messenger. ive called sprint 4 times and been through the steps (resetting my phone, taking the battery out, factory reset,etc) but i still cant recieve text.

ive tried changing the options through the gv browser, nothing! is there no way to fix this??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewskee:
I'm in the same boat. I rooted, flashed a couple find and somewhere in between I wasn't getting text messages or voicemails. I unrooted, factory reset and it was the same. I finally went in to Google voice and made the settings so I can now recieve both cm and texts but even with the Google voice app on my phone telling me that I should be recieving texts through the native app I don't. Not sure if this is a root users problem only or for stock users that never rooted their phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewskee:
Oh and I'm picking up a replacement EVO today to "fix" the problem. I guess ill root it nandroid backup first thing and try a Rom out. Wonder if 3.0-3.5 sense roms are breaking it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dairugger:
ive been on with sprint 3 times now, they are clueless. i can live with google voice on my voicemail, but i want my stock messenger as gv cant do picture texts. my stock messenger can only send but cant recieve.

question is, if i unroot my phone and install the 2.3 gingerbread update will it fix the problem with messenge and maybe voicemail?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtDMonet:
Interesting. I had the same issue, and just as I was at wits end, and changing/editing all settings I got it to work. To review my settings:

Phones Tab:

Google Voice Number: (my cell #)

Forward Calls to: box checked - (my cell #)

- receive texts at this phone (box checked)

- Notify me of new voicemails via text (box not checked)

Google Chat (box not checked)

Voicemail & Text Tab

- Email the message to (my e-mail address) (box checked)

- Forward text messages to my email:(my email address) (box not checked)

- Transcribe Voicemails (box checked)

Calls Tab

- Call Screening (off)

- Caller ID (incoming) Display Caller's Number

- Enable "Do Not Disturb" (box not checked)

- Place missed calls in the inbox(box not checked)

- Send missed calls to my email(box not checked)

- Enable Recording (4), Switch (*) and Conferencing options on inbound calls(box not checked)

- Send calls and text messages from numbers identified as spam by Google directly to the Spam folder(box checked)

There are a few other questions/tabs but none of them seemed to have any remote possiblity of effecting calls/texts.

I also use Handcent as my text default text app

I hope this helps.

I think the google voice settings might conflict - just go reset them (see my post above for my settings). You may need to go to the app manager, click on google voice, and press "clear defaults" -- then the next time you press the message app, you will get the GV/stock messenger choice. You can then mark it as default.

I hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dairugger:
well i unrooted my phone, but it didnt help, seemed to make another problem!, now not only would i not get texts or voicemails from the stock apps or any other for that matter, now i couldnt make calls or recieve any calls.

i called sprint and explained it all again asking for tech service right away so i wouldnt waste time removing the battery, updating the prl and profile etc.. anyway after a hour with a tech my phone is working good as new.

it was funny cause after he told me some things to do to it i started getting a flood of texts from the stock messenger and tons of voicemails from the stock voicemail app. it now works perfect, no google voice needed! he had a hard time getting the voicemail to work at first, he said it was going nowhere. when people called my phone it said the cricket customer! im with sprint! he had me enter some codes in the phone app that he said reset the phone, on his end and on the phone itself.

anyway its fixed! no need for a new phone.

heres the steps he told me to do, i hope i got the numbers right:

dial ##654458#, it will do something and go to another screen after resetting some things.

select edit

then theres two options, select the second number (msid i believe) (write it down first)and change the number to ten 1's (thats 1111111111)

then hit menu on your phone pad and select "commit"

the phone will reset itself.

now do those steps again but enter the old msid number i told you to write down, back into where the ten 1's are.

then hit menu on your phone pad again and select "commit"

the phone will reset itself.

it should be okay after this and you should recieve texts and voicemails from your stock apps.

note: i uninstalled and disabled google voice from both my phone and through the google voice web site settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanstedt:
I had the same issue. When you set up voice you integrated your sprint phone number with google voice. Uninstall gv and reinstall gv. On the first screen it asks you to integrate your phone number with gv. Skip that and proceed with normal install. All your issues will clear up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirollaz88:
Not a big fan of Google voice bit good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanstedt:
Gv is pretty cool. You can set up different voice mail answer messages for different people. I have one for my wife and one for everyone else. Plus it'll dictate messages for you if you don't want folks to know you are checking you're vm.

[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Thanks to NikonElite for the help and show-p1984 for the sick splash screen. :cool:

Feel free to post your splash images and pictures you like! The more the better!

Like you, i know you don't like that ugly white HTC screen. Let's change that shall we? You are going to need a few things though, and yes you will need s-off for this to work:

1. Adb drivers and fastboot set up properly, which you should already since you have s-off.

2. nbimg from here for windows users or here for linux users.

the image you want as your splash screen in BMP format.

The image size you want is 540x960 since that is our image size.

Once you have everything set up and ready to go with the prerequisites i showed before hand, this is what you need to do.

Go into terminal and do

nbimg -F nameofimg.bmp -w 540 -h 960 and yes its case sensitive so make sure that F in the command is capital or it wont work.

Let it do its thing then it should make another picture called

nameofimg.bmp.n0 or something of that sort in the directory where the original image is. Rename it and change the extension to .img

So mines was splash.img.

now that the image is done, lets flash it shall we?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 nameofimg.img

then voila you are finished. :cool:

Image i used:

http://rserver8.de/splash1.bmp

Here is another one

[HTC Sensation] deanesn:
Is there way to do this through root explorer?
[HTC Sensation] Marreboy:
Thanks for the guide. One question though: what does the nbimg program actually do? Never heard of an image format called nb before. Had a quick look at the thread were to download from but did not understand anyway what is going on.. :confused:

On the Desire it was possible to flash the bmp directly as long as you used a specific type of bmp format (which I cannot remember right now).
[HTC Sensation] NikonElite:
no, you cant as you flash into a partition on the phone it needs to be done via fastboot
[HTC Sensation] NikonElite:
if you use nbimg like this

nbimg.exe -w 540 -h 960 -F splash1.bmp | rename .bmp to .img

it also renames it for you...what this nbimg does it make it to the correct format for your phone to read and display.

oh and the bmp format i believe was only 16bit of 24bit..i think

and you could just rename to .img ... that would work but this is a surefire method.
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
I should note that my htc galaxy I got from a thread on here a long time ago for my Desire HD, i simply resized it for the Sensation and changed it to an .img

you have the commands backwards. -F splash1.bmp comes before the dimensions :p

I was wondering if anyone knew the program well enough and could tell me if this program can be used for the sensation since it goes straight to .img (using the sensation's dimensions as opposed to the G2's, of course).
[HTC Sensation] NikonElite:
I would say you could use the same command

but change the dimensions to what you require...then once you have your .img file...how ever you create it

I can only help with this, as thats what ive used in the past - but i dont see why it wouldn't work.

as long as they are resized to the correct resolution your all good.

you make it easy but already converting them to .img for everyone
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
wow that is a bit complicated to me is there a one click way of doing this ?
[HTC Sensation] NikonElite:
The main bit is the convert...and hopefully some people on this thread will already do that for you if you have an image at the correct size...

make .bmp at correct resolution

convert to .img

flash using fastboot command.

The current tools that enable you to flash dont support this resolution size
