[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Ok, I figured I'd make a super detailed howto on how to do this, so here it is:

First off, download the following file:

http://jamezelle.com/myfiles/split_bootimg.zip

Now, unzip that, it's a pearl script. (split_bootimg.pl) Copy that, and your boot.img to a directory. Type the following:

./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

This will create 2 new files in the directory, boot.img-kernel, and boot.img-ramdisk.gz. The ramdisk is what you want. Now, inside the directory you created and split the boot image, make yet another directory (I'll call it temp for the purposes of this howto)

cd temp

now, type the following:

gunzip -c ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

Now, inside the directory you have successfully decompressed the ram image. (Which on my other post I refered to as initrd.gz, same thing, different phone in this case :))

You'll see a bunch of files there, the one you are interested in for the init boot logo is called initlogo.rle. THIS is the file you need to edit to change the boot image to whatever you want. (If you are unsure how to do this, google rle editing, or something similar, not going to go into that here.)

After making all the changes that you want (also a useful tip, the init.rc is a very useful file as far as android booting, if you take the time to learn android's init script language you can do some cool things.), go up one directory. (cd ..)

now you should be back in the directory that has the following:

boot.img, boot.img-kernel, boot.img-ramdisk.gz, and split-bootimg.pl. I'd highly suggest copying your boot.img-ramdisk.gz that's in that directory (which is the original) to another folder, then delete it. (Otherwise you're going to overwrite it anyways). After you have done this, go back into the temp directory that has all the files you changed.

Type the following;

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz

This will create the boot.img-ramdisk.gz in one directory level up (It's important to do it this way, otherwise you'll end up packing a ramdisk file inside another ramdisk file).

Ok, almost there, now you just need to repack the boot.img file

To do this, you'll need mkbootimg, which i highly suggest compiling from the android repo. (Google it, again, not going into that here.)

Copy the boot.img-kernel file and the boot.img-ramdisk.gz file to another directory, so you don't pack uneeded files into the boot image. Go to that directory, and do the following:

mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o boot.img

If you have done it correctly, you'll see a boot.img file in there. You're done. Replace this in the cwm zip, and flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Ok, one more little helper (because I'm in a good mood today :)), here are the files you'll need. I have included bootsplit file and the mkbootimg file, so you don't have to bother compiling them (the bootsplit is the same as the link I gave in the post above, but I figured to be nice I'd pack them both into one easy zip file.) With this, no mkbootimg compiling required. (Keep in mind this is compiled for x86, since that's what I use. For x64 you'll have to compile it yourself.)

Good luck everyone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] britishtq:
Oh man, thank you. Ill let you know how it goes tonight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidFiend:
i found a thread here

http://www.g2xforums.com/t-mobileg2x-rooting/(splashscreens)-by-maco-designs/

has ready to flash splash screens look into the zips to help you replace the files you will need for splash screen
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Isn't that for the HTC EVO 4G? I saw that thread about 2 weeks ago, and I tried swapping the files. I would've tried them out by now, but I wouldn't be able to revert it back to the stock Splash screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidFiend:
I highly doubt it because it is in a tmo g2x forum and in a tmo g2x sub forum for rooting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Why don't you give it a try? :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
I opened up a few of them to see, and they don't have any cwm scripts. My guess is you need stock recovery to flash one of these.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Speaking of the 2nd boot logo. Has anyone figured out why on 2.3.3 it is a blank screen instead of the animated green bar LG logo that 2.2 had? The first time it booted after the OS update that blank screen gave me a fright!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Yup, because the initlogo.rle file is missing from their ramdisk. Faux's test kernels have replaced the blank image with one that works. LG really can't do anything right when it comes to software. Yes they make nice hardware, but without proper kernels, drivers, and decent software the hardware doesn't really mean anything.
[Omnia II i920 CDMA] ak21:
Hi, I have bought an unlocked Samsung Omnia 2 i920 online, I was told I can insert my fido sim card, however I don't see any sim card slot. I have looked everywhere. I was wondering if you guys can tell me if there is a sim card slot somewhere hidden or somewhere i did not see, please take a picture if you have one. If not then how do I choose a network to go with other then the current Verizon network if its unlocked? Please let me know. Thanks.

[Omnia II i920 CDMA] ak21:
I saw your image, though mines doesn't look like that (is that when you took the battery out from the back?) mines the i920, I think your's the i8000. Anyways the tech support called me, since i sent the person a message about the sim slot, and he told me there isn't a sim slot in my phone however i can exchange it for another one that has one (i made a thread about it). Thanks for helping though.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
So, I have an issue and just trying to figure this out.

I'm running Gummy and the battery runs as most of you probably know in 1% increments. Well the battery that I am trying to modify it to only does 10% increments.

I pulled the apk and did all that jazz but when I push it back it reverts back to having all the 1% increments and the only like 10, 20 and so forth are changed to the other battery.

How would I go about fixing that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Bump for help.
[Atrix 4G General] jonttu:
Hey, I think this may be my first relevant post here *excitement* Anyways, I recently got back from Europe and on the way back at the airport I saw one of these:

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a

pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

When I get a better camera Ill post some pics.

Wow, wicked cool.
[Atrix 4G General] lexxu1:
This is exactly what I was looking for, I'll be awaiting your tutorial. haha.
[Atrix 4G General] Banditlol:
awesome! do you have the name of the product or model number so i can search for this on amazon?
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:

[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
Pretty cool! Why can't they start making stuff like that more ofen for androids? I guess they change so much. Hopefully they stick with the design for the atrix for the next few years and there will be more of a market for our phones.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Am extremely interested in this. Its the one thing I missed from my old tilt.
[Atrix 4G General] davewuvswaffles:
It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.

Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.

Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months :)

Bah cant post links... if you search amazon for this B004Q3PYIU it will come up...
[Atrix 4G General] Toaster Strudels:
So does it fit? Could someone please post pictures? Also, does everything work? Like EVERYTHING?
[Atrix 4G General] dragunbayne:
Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
[Atrix 4G General] acsterf:
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?

Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?
[Atrix 4G General] dragunbayne:
I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
That doesn't seem so bad now. Waiting for OP to post his instructions.
[Atrix 4G General] rickriego:
i bought one for $70 for my iphone 4 but gave it away to my brother since I ditched the crapple for the atrix..never thought to keep it for the atrix..wish I did!

[Atrix 4G General] jonttu:
Well it's been two days and there is some bad news :( after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Well, that's reasonable! Thanks for looking out for us!
[Atrix 4G General] netter159:
question @ OP: if you somehow bind a bluetooth keyboard software wise and the Atrix knows it's connected to a bluetooth keyboard and then you select a textbox with the touch, does the on screen keyboard still pop up, or not? I wanna make sure it doesnt
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
im going to take a wild guess that the keyboard will still pop up. you may need to change the default input device in settings. just turn off android keyboard and it wont pop up.
[Atrix 4G General] netter159:
wat?

I mean how do you turn off the android keyboard, and then later have to retoggle enable it when your not using the physical keyboard. OP can you provide a real answer from actual experience and not something made up?
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
im not making anything up. go to menu>settings> language & input> and toggle android keyboard.
[Atrix 4G General] netter159:
oh I believe that part, but as far as user experience with this physical bluetooth keyboard, only the OP actually can answer.
[Atrix 4G General] Javi97100:
So im guessing no instructions on how to do this?
[Atrix 4G General] Riggzo:
Sorry to bring this back up but has anyone heard anything on this? Just got an Atrix 4g and would love to try this out!
[Atrix 4G General] TNTantoine:
I'm interested too, i miss my Milestone 2 keyboard ! :(

Is there any other product like this one but stronger ?
[Atrix 4G General] lewishnl:

Please can you give more details on how you made this. Thanks for the info you gave so far, really interested in this mod.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rizaria:
Yeah, actually thought I'd update my firmware today. Re-rooted and all, but missing my battery mod from before. I much prefer a number up there. None of the themes I see fit my firmware number though.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I have been running ACS 1.2 for quiet a while now with no problems, Journaling on. Tonight I started experiencing force closes along with on my physical keyboard letter R,F, and C not working at all. So I decided to odin back to stock and start fresh. I have done this multiple times with not a hitch. Anyways my problem is I can not get into download mode no matter how many times I try, it just boots into the ROM. Also, has anyone else experienced their RFC keys just stop working?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul627g:
Have you tried booting into download mode with your device battery removed and connected to your computer via USB?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
Yes, it just shows the battery charing screen and flashes on and off.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
Your suppose to KEEP battery OUT completely. plug in phone to usb via Computer. Then Hold the "1" and Power Button.

all this WITHOUT a battery. Once its in download mode. u can put bak battery
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Make sure you press and hold the "1" key first then add the power button. If you booted into the ROM then you pressed the power key first.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaculop:
I'm 100% sure I hit the "1" first then the power button. Not sure what the heck is going on. Tried with battery out and usb plugged in, tried with battery and usb unplugged and holding buttons, while putting the battery back in...nothing. I have done this many times before and never had this problem. =\
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Damn...I have seen other users report similiar issues. Try keeping the battery out. Hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge the circuit, then try plugging in to computer and get into download mode with the battery out. Try other USB ports and even another computer to verify it don't work. You said you had a good cable right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
you had usb plugged in, wheres the part where its plugged to a computer via usb?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
I saw you said that you "hit" the 1 button. I assume you meant that you are holding it.

But what I really wanted to ask was- are you sure that your 1 button isn't broke as well?

[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
There are 18 Sense ROMs and counting. Coming from the Vibrant where ROMs varied somewhat... I feel like these Sense ROMs hardly differ. I can't really see too much difference. With that said, maybe I am missing something.

I have noticed there are some well established developers creating the Sensation's Sense ROMs. But still I flash these ROMs and i find not many differences. It may just come down to the ROM with the least amount of bugs.

So, especially those who tried all the ROMs and are aware of the reputations of the Devs.... please let me know what which Sense ROM you think is the the best and why.

I forgot one the Virtuous ROM in the poll... sorry!
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Without a doubt Virtuous Sensation with the stock kernel (and it isn't even in your poll).

Why? Because everything works and the battery is great.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
Depends if you're from Europe or USA--I've had very crappy luck with European ROM data speeds (Obviously TMOUSA here)
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
Virtuous Rom 1.03 w/ Stock Kernel. Blazing fast. Super stable.

I like this rom because I used it on my dhd. And I count on the developer that this will be a really nice rom without any bugs soon.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
They are all pretty similar except for the 2.3.4 based ones. I noticed a big speed difference on the latest InsertCoin.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
the latest insert coin 234 and the RC mix 234 are basically the same rom , both are great and fast as hell but esentially the same
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
+ 1 ...all roms are basically same with minor tweaks, so stick with the one which suits you best. As far as speed goes both insert coin and rcmix 2.3.4 based roms outperforms every other rom.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
True. What I meant was the 2.3.4 based ROMSs are differentiated enough from 2.3.3 ROMs because of the speed. But yeah, once there they're all the same.
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
Thanks guys! Between the two polls you can see what the more popular ROMs are. Which is helpful for me. Sometimes having so much to choose from sucks...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giltwist:
I have a similar issue near my left speaker. However, it is only an issue if I press too hard. My guess is that its difficult to get a perfect glue job on a unit this thin.

What are some emulators you guys are using for your Atrix, for what games, what systems, etc. I'm going to start trying a ton but thought I'd fire up a conversation here on which emulators people prefer (if any for that matter) lol.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] whatsaqazza:
I use oid emus like gameboid (although they're not in the market anymore, I installed it with an apk) but it works great and can overclock... the Nintendo DS ones I use always seem to lag but works ok. By the way these are for Pokemon and Zelda games. They don't eat up too much power either, at least in my opinion. About 20%/hour of constant use.

[LG Revolution] hilong08:
When I downgraded, the data stayed intact. However, do a backup anyways.
[LG Revolution] hilong08:
I believe the users that have a failed downgrade had a problem with the .TOT file being downloaded properly and they probably had the phone in CDMA mode only when the phone should be in LTE/CDMA mode.

But if anything, they may have unplugged the phone before the program finished because the phone looks like it's done being flashed but the flash program says it's 80-90% complete.

Make sure you DO NOT unplug the phone until the flash program say it's safe to do so.
