[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtadams89:
PS, where ever you ask, be forewarned that no one will EVER agree with your build. In fact, every person you ask will suggest you switch out at least one component. One thing I have learned from building my own (and customer's) computers for the last 10+ years: as long as all the parts are technically compatible, and no individual part has a major problem (like a high failure rate, exceptionally low performance compared to similar parts, etc.), you can't go too wrong.

System Upgrade 1.39.709.1

Turned my phone on this morning and saw this notification. What is it for? I bought my phone yesterday and rooted. Thanks!

Btw phone is unbranded. I think it is asian release though, seeing as I purchased it in Taiwan.

I got curious and did the update...it restarted my phone with a little blue android and has been sitting there for quite a while...is this normal?? It said don't turn off or take the battery out...am I going to lose root or brick my phone? lol.

How long should i let it sit before i pull the battery and restart?
[HTC Sensation] innerspace:
what state was your phone in when you applied the upgrade? Rooted? S-OFF? Custom ROM? Like in your sig?
[HTC Sensation] greves1:
yup, s-offed and rooted yesterday, as per sig. still on stock rom though.

anyways, after about 10 minutes i figured it wasn't doing anything so i just pulled the battery. phone turned on fine and asked me if i wanted to do the update again. this time i just turned off the updates ;) think ill just stick with community updates from now on!

anyways, what was all that update stuff about anyway? and why didnt it even work?
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
What improvements did it say when it asked if you wanted to update?

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] greves1:
It said something like 'new features and software update'.
[HTC Sensation] {ParanoiA}:
Your best bet is to not take any ota's if you are rooted or planning on customizing your phone. They can sometimes be patches to root exploits and whatnot. Just get your stuff from here. Ota's are for stock unrooted people

Could you upload your OTA files?
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
That was fast for htc to close up any exploit for s-off but when we ask for s-off it took months for them to release it.....
[HTC Sensation] sunnysideup:
Same thing happened to me this morning...S-off and rooted last night...then received a notification for an OTA update.

Tried installing but it just hangs after reboot with an exclamation mark and an android figure. Did a battery pull and decided to screw the update lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekow:
Hey guys i flashed my phone back to stock to send back to vodafone. I unrooted the phone previously with 1 click. It upgraded the firmware through KIES to 2.2.

Now the phone shows the right info , super user is removed but it now says

Kernel Version

2.6.32.6

root@SE-S604 #6.

Any way to change this back to stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] slaphead20:
That doesn't mean the phone is rooted, so don't worry :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekow:
i thought so but i thought when i had my phone the first time it says like a different user name so ok i wont worry. They think the phone isnt working anyways.

Hello,

did somebody find driver sources for the FM transmitter in the BCM4330?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-tweako:
"Other things of note about the BCM4330 is that support for Android and Windows Phone is built right in, so this chip is just plug and play"

Hmm, maybe looking for other phones that use the fm transmitter part?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
what do you need the source for?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OskarW:
:-) Maybe we could use it for a sound transmission (music) to the car radio.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medzed:
Yeah if any dev would find a way to activate it that would be great awesome

[Android Themes] Keuka79:
Yeah I'd like to change the text to a PNG file yes. I've seen raadius and others do it before but they are graphic designers so.
[Android Themes] GANJDROID:
Nono, its not the carrier name, its an app which has an icon constantly in the status bar. Take Advanced Task Killer or WidgetLocker, back it up, change the extention to .zip then change the notification.png (which is in res/drawablehdpi) to any .png you want.

[Android Themes] JaysWorld:
Actually it's the actual Carrier Logo they change , some of the designers do mod the apps such as Widget Locker , Task Killer , & Phono but Raadius replaced his Carrier Text into a .png , I do have this code where you place in the statusbar.xml to do this . I'll post it up when I get home later .

Ill await your xml.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Android Themes] JaysWorld:
Try this...

Edit status_bar.xml (it's in res/layout/ (systemUI.apk)

Replace the line that references the carrierlabel with the following :-

<ImageView android:background="@drawable/status_bar_switch_apps_bright_on" android:id="@id/carrier" android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

(Replace the @drawable reference with the drawable of your choice.)

Compile and push to your phone.. That's it.. I've attached a screenshot.

There you go guys , sorry i'm two days late. If you guys want me to post my statusbar.xml or my systemUI.apk , let me know & I think this only works for MIUI.

How to replace the stock boot animation with a custom boot animation:

1. rename the extension of the current bootanimation in system/customize/resource to .bak (just skip this if you never want to use it anymore)

For unbranded phones this is bootanimation.zip

branded phones have bootanimation.zip as well as a boot and a down/shutdown animation from the provider.

Vodafone:

VF_bootanimation.zip

VF_downanimation.zip

TMOUS:

TMOUS_bootanimation.zip

TMOUS_downanimation.zip

You only need to replace the two VF_ or TMOUS_ files. As far as I know the normal bootanimation.zip is there but not used for anything for branded phones.

2. rename your bootanimation to what the bootanimation on your device is called. Copy the file to system/customize/resource with root explorer

3. in root explorer hold your finger on the file till the menu pops up. Tap on "permissions"

Owner: read & write checked, execute unchecked

Group: read checked, rest unchecked

Others: read checked, rest unchecked

4. restart and you're done!

How to create your own boot animation:

1. create a folder called "android" and place the frames of your animation in that folder in PNG format.

2. name them as follows:

NAME_01.png

NAME_02.png

...

NAME_xx.png

3. create a text file called "desc.txt" containing for example:

540 960 15

p 1 1 android

explanation of the desc file:

Width Height Frame-rate

p Loop Pause Folder

width: width of your animation

height: height of your animation

frame-rate: how many frames to be shown per second. If your animation has 30frames and you enter 10 then one replay takes 3 seconds

p: just stands for play, don't alter this, just put it there.

Loop: how often to loop the animation before pausing on the last frame. If you enter 0 it will loop indefinitely until the device is done booting. 1 will play the animation once, 2 twice etc.

Pause: For how many frames to pause the animation after every loop. The actual pause time depends on the frame-rate you chose above. For example a pause of 90 with 10 fps will translate to a 9 second pause

Folder: the name of the folder we created above.

4. add the desc.txt and the folder with your png files to an uncompressed zip file

You can do this with 7zip. Right click the files, 7zip -> add to archive -> for "compression level" select "store"

5. sign the zip

not sure if this is necessary although I simply sign everything that goes into my system folders. You can use ZipSigner from the market. (For "key/mode" select "platform")

Here are some qHD HTC quietly brilliant bootanimations that I made for good measure.

blue, dark blue background, qHD

green, black background, qHD

blue, black background, qHD
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
followed every step to the letter not sure how or with what to create a text file so took one from another bootanimation but still not working for me blanc screen.
[HTC Sensation] falsinho:
Can you make me one with green HTC letters? Thanks in advance. :D
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Did anyone notice in the T-mobile Sensation there is a TMOUS_bootanimation.zip, bootanimation.zip, TMOUSdownanimation.zip & a downanimation.zip all in this folder? Which one are we replacing?

There is also a T-jingle.ogg & a writeon_jingle.wav file. Would those be the boot up & shutdown sounds?
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Following another guide, what worked for me was, changing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak and then pasting the bootanimation.zip you want to be your new splash screen.

Then, renaming that to the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip

So in the end that's the one you want to replace.
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
There you go mate!

green, qHD, black background:

[Edit: moved to first post for cleanliness]

@gilbert11231123 you must have either added compression to the .zip or made a mistake with the desc.txt or didn't sign the zip correctly or some other thing. Can't tell from here, sorry!
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
I have a Vodafone branded Sensation. I only have to replace the VF_bootanimation.zip and VF_downanimation.zip ... I replaced the bootanimation.zip as well but it was not necessary.

the VF_downanimation.zip shows when shutting the phone down. VF_bootanimation.zip shows when booting.

Edit:

here is also a clean blue one with black background. The one in first post has a dark blue background and the "quietly brilliant" is also somewhat blue.

[Edit: moved to first post for cleanliness]
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Ok so I tried making on but it didn't quite work. I tried using it for the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip & the TMOUS_downanimation.zip

For the bootanimation, it was just a blank black screen. For the downanimation, it was correct but it had a quick white flash in it. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at what I did & modify it for me. Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
your .zip is definitely not signed or it would have a META-INF folder in it. Also, in your desc.txt you have a blank line after the first line. That probably screws things up as well. Lastly, your .zip does also seem to have compression so it doesn't seem like you did anything I described above :D

Oh and about the white flash - Image 11 is transparent on top and has a white stripe and image 13 is almost entirely white. Suppose that is your white flash :)

for the shutdown animation android seems to be more loose on restrictions. When I had the compression wrong the downanimation also worked for me but the bootanimation didn't even though it was the same file!
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Just tried doing it again & this time they switched. The bootanimation had the white flashing screen & the downanimation had a blank black screen. I don't know what I am doing. Think you could whip something up for me with my provided zip earlier?
[HTC Sensation] dcrin3:

Any advice on how to change the boot sound to go along with the animation? The other walkthrough guide references things that don't exist (init.local.rc) on the Sensation. The guide was in the Desire HD forum (I think).
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
never added a boot sound myself but after asking brother google it seems android doesn't support playing boot sounds as it is. One or more system files have to be altered to get boot sound support such as bootanimation in system/bin ..

http://androidforums.com/liquid0624/234917-gingerbread-bootani-sound.html

at least I could change it from "quietly brilliant" to "loud but ok" :)
[HTC Sensation] kicknik:
I think I'm gonna try and make my own boot animation but have a few questions about the desc fle-

1. How do u know what to put for the frame rate? I see OP put 10 but what does that mean..? 10 frames per second or what?

2. For loop OP put 0, so does that mean it plays it once, 1 loop would play twice, 2 loop play 3 times etc...?

3. For pause OP put 90? what does that represent like is that 90 ms? How'd you pick that?

4. What did you use to make the images?

Thanks for anyone that can help and for the great guide OP.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
I am talking about the build-in battery status

(Settings> About phone> Battery use)

I forgot starting from which rom,

that battery status does not show any app battery use.

What it shows is only the Display, Voice calls, Cell standby and Phone idle

As I remembered, it is supposed to show the installed app too like gmail or web.

I thought this is the Trigger 3.2 problem then I switched to project-V,

but still, no apps are shown there.

Today I take my fds G2X and look at the battery status,

it shows only those 4 items only too!

My question is, is Google changed that starting from Froyo?

or only the roms problem?

I dont want to install other app to check this status,

I am using Battery mix to check and find out Battery mix itself used the most battery which is not making any sense.

First, it is not a misleading title. The thread was for people with no experience sifting through all the jargon to be able to have a place to look for updates for their Evo; a "Glint of Hope" so to speak. Wasn't XDA originally designed to help people like that? Now it seems as though it's just a bunch of pricks like you who like to tear down anyone who tries to provide help or asks an inexperienced question. Second, there is no "us". It is you, skatrwannabe3, to whom I am referring to as a ****. If you don't like my thread, then get off of it. End of story. I reported the thread anyway so it will hopefully be deleted soon and free up space on your precious forum. This is my last post on this thread.

Now that the dust has settled, you can PM a forum mod if you still want the thread deleted. Pick one: toastcfh, rolfd, or josefcrist. If you want actual discussion, you might repost this over in General or Q&A and hope for the best. :D
