[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallaceb:
if it can be proven the camera does not function then they can let you through.

i thought of this, but what about programs such as Price Scanner or Camcorder that also use the camera? will removing the camera app make all of those stop working as well?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
No. They activate the camera on their own.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallaceb:
That is what i thought, and figured i should ask if it is possible to disable the driver or other underlying code that controls the camera.

Thanks

Hi!

I know it is possible to connect my Samsung Galaxy SII to a PC and mount the file system of the SD card (either in debug mode as two removable Windows volumes or, without debug mode, as a phone device). However, I would like to have the phone more as a USB stick, i.e. having only one partition (so that Windows can see it properly) and, more important: being a USB stick even when not yet plugged into the host, i.e. the host never seeing anything else than a USB stick.

Why do I want that?

Because I tried to connect the phone to a DVD player that has a USB port, so that I can watch photos directly on TV (via DVD player). The player would offer to display media from USB stick.

However, nothing I tried worked. When I plug in the phone, the player sees the USB device plugged in but does not see a file system, saying that the media is not formatted or supported. When the phone itself offers to go into USB connection mode, it is too late and the player refuses to see it still. The phone simply offers USB connection mode too late.

So the question is: is there an app capable of doing this? That would be an app that I start and which puts the phone into USB connection mode *before* I plug it into the host. If I could define a directory that will be seen as the root file system of the stick from outside, this would be great. If I could put that file system into read-only mode, it would be perfect.

I found many posts about the phone being a portable drive, connecting USB sticks to the phone and so on. But nothing fits that use case I described.

Any hints?
[General Questions and Answers] JoHnNy08PL:
Hm, today I thought about it :P

But my DVD Player as yours, say USB Device Unsupported.

I'd really like the possibility to connect to DVD Player as normal pendrive, and play movies.

[General Questions and Answers] pcbilski:
You can try the following:

Open ‘Menu’ on your Android and tap on settings. You can find ‘Wireless and Network’ option in settings, just open it and it will now show you various options. Select ‘USB Utilities’ and you will get the option ‘Connect storage to PC’ as shown below.

Now it will ask you to connect your phone to PC using USB Cable. When you done with that you will get an Android symbol and message ‘USB connected’.

Everything is done now and your Android has turned into USB storage device. Transfer and manage files as you want.

Hi!

The hints from mikedavis120 and pcbilski actually look like they could work. Unfortunately it is not my DVD player but my father's and he is on vacation now. Will take two weeks until I can try :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] JoHnNy08PL:
I have tried both methods on two DVD players, and both failed :(

pcbilski's - 1st player when in standby, gives power to USB so when I connected a phone it popup a message to mount sdcard. Mounted SD, and started up a player and... nothing, it doesn't load, doesn't say anything.

2nd player doesn't give power to USB so when I turned it on, my phone found a connection. So before phone mounted SD, there was error - Unsupported USB. When it was mounted, choose other source, and back to USB and nothing, like on 1st player :(

mikedavis120's method - both players didn't saw any USB Device

Sorry for my english, but I think it's readable :P
[General Questions and Answers] svenk:
Yeah, figured as much today. Problem is that before the phone accepts to becomes a USB drive, you have to plug in the cable, wait a second, and confirm the popup. But until then the DVD player already sees the phone and thinks it is not a USB stick, refusing to accept it later. A hen and egg problem.
[General Questions and Answers] fredrik8:
Any news on this? My USB-stick just broke and I need to update my TVs firmware... ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Sadra..:
Hopefully this will work for future readers. :)

It is actually for installing OSes(I think, atleast that was my use.), but I think it will work. Create a blank image, and copy the files to the blank new drive from a computer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] skydeaner:
Can we format our sd cards as something other than fat so that I can store larger than 4gb files on there? Does a custom kernel have to be written to recognize it and make it work as it usually does?

Thanks in advance to whoever can answer this question for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
This is vanilla lockscreen for KPH:

Just overwrite the original files in /system/framework/

Only for deodexed.

For Vanilla Lockscreen use only android.policy.jar ( you must exctraxt the attached zip)

For CRT Effect use only framework-res.apk

For CRT + Vanilla lock use both
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
maybe u can add mod battery icon with percentage number inside
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iming88:
good..while waiting for 5 lockscreen XXKPH
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
XXKPE framework is compatible with XXKPH, so you can use all themes of XXKPE:p.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
But space mentioned it would cause reboots suddenly, I wanna use the Settings.apk but then there are a few new options in the XXKPH Settings.apk :\

@Skin, Thanks again for your hardworking efforts with this :)! Great Job! +1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
plz add overscroll glow effect also. I think we should build new themes with new apk of xxkph insted of taking themes of xxkpe.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
If only it were easier as you say it is. It's actually a tedious job and you need to know/familiarize the system.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
no bro...i never said its easy job. As u also mentioned that xxkph settings.apk has new options as compared to xxkpe then if we take xxkpe & directly apply then i think we will not see xxkph seeting's new option. I appreciate ur work bro & I also know how much theming needs a lot of hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Almost the framework is the same, the apps however differ in a few ways, Maybe that can be looked into. Thanks vishaal

There are no issues when using this, However when flashing a new rom, you are required to recalibrate your battery for best usage.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Copied the framework-res, reboot the phone but didnt get the old CRT. I am running xxkph

Edit: My device is deodexed...

Suggestions please
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Copied? No. You should replace. What did you use to replace?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Try flashing this with CWM

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31715666/SkinXXKPHCWM.zip
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
sorry for the confusion...I replaced the file and I am sure it was replaced because framework-res.apk contains a default wallpaper and after replacing my wallpaper was changed.

I used root explorer first and them adb command. Rebooted the phone after each replacement

Edit: @misledz: used your zip and installed it through cwm. Got the vanilla lock but no crt :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Then I think skin made a mistake :O
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
have you enabled the animations?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
CRT Is part of an animation? :O I always thought it was by default :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Yes...the animations were enabled but I used spare parts to speed up the windows animations. On bringing windows animations back to normal, it is working great.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Here are some splash images that can be flashed to the htc evo view. It should work on the flyer but I don't have one to test on.

** Credits go to the original creators of these images. Unfortunately I don't know who they are :p **

splash-hand.img

splash-android.img

splash-androidpissonapple.img

splash-droideatingapple.img

godzson.zip

** Your device must be s-off (nand unlocked) in order to flash/install this image **

Installation instructions:

1. Download nameofsplash.img

2. Reboot your device to bootloader.

3. In a command/terminal prompt enter

fastboot flash splash1 nameofsplash.img

4. Reboot your device and enjoy your new splash screen.

=================================================

-- Instructions to make your own splash image for flyer/view --

-- For windows --

1. Create an image with the dimensions 1024 height 600 width. Save your image as splash.extension (splash.bmp for example, png works, jpg may but I haven't tested it).

2. Rotate your image 90 degrees counterclockwise (windows image viewer is the easiest/fastest).

3. Download splash.zip and extract to a location of your choice.

4. Open new-splash.txt and edit "splash.png" to reflect your image extension (splash.bmp for example).

5. Save the file as new-splash.bat.

6. Move your image (from step 1) into the directory with the .bat and ffmpeg files.

7. Double click new-splash.bat. You should now have a file in the same directory named splash.img

8. Flash the image via fastboot and enjoy!

** Some Notes **

You will notice two files called pull-480x800.txt and pull-1024x600.txt.

These two files are essentially the same except for the size dimensions.

You will want to save these files as .bat (just like in step 5) after editing the size dimensions and image output extension (bmp instead of png) inside the text file.

After pulling you will have a file named splash.extension in the same directory.

The files use the name splash.extension (splash.img, splash.png, etc.) when pulling/creating

When creating a splash.img, the .bat file will look for an image named splash.extension (where extension is what you specified in step 4)

When pulling an image from splash.img, the .bat file will look for splash.img, rename it to splash-orig.img, and output the image according to the size dimensions and extension specified.

I hope this little writeup was easy to follow. If not please feel free to ask any questions!

Heh.... Cool! Just wish I had a View right now....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rrk:
Is it works with flyer 3G too???
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
The device doesn't matter - the fact that the Flyer is displaying "evo view" is the problem.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
I can make the .img files if you provide the image you want. I'm not the best graphic artist but I can make the splash.img with no effort.

I stated evo view because that's the device I have and test on.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MagicalSandwich:
Can you make this an .img file for me?

Can you make these into splash for me? would be much appretiated. are you using photoshop or what to create the .img file?

FYI the splash-android.img file won't download in your link

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ovigt71:
can you replace the HTC EVO 4G with HTC Flyer in the first image? I would like to install on my flyer. Thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
I'm not the best graphic artist. If you can find someone who is a photoshop pro to edit the image I can make the splash. Sorry :(.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triscuit1983:
Can I ask how you made these? What tool did you use? What size image?

I've been using nbimg.exe to make these for all of my devices, but everything I make for my Flyer looks completely distorted when I flash. I've successfully flashed all of the .imgs you've created, so I know it's not my device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
here's a good tutorial -

Edit: link broke :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You can also use any of the splash screens or boot animations from the Nook Color and there are a bundle of them out there if you do a search. The Nook color and HTC flyer /View screen are the same size.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
I will try to have a write up by the end of the week of how I make the splashs as well as the files I used for anybody who wants to try their hand at making splash screens for this device or any other device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Cool.

Also, I have a question. The splash screen is the HTC screen right? Once the quietly brilliant comes on it is just boot animation.zip correct?

So those who use fast boot this won't work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
You are correct. Whenever you shutdown the tablet completely the splash screen is the first image you see when it powers on. For people like me it's nice to change it since I don't use fastboot in the event I need to get into recovery or bootloader.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Once I get a really good splash I will stop using fast boot then.

:P :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
Can you tell me if this is the method you're using..?

Create image 600 pixels wide and 1024 high.

Save it as a 24 bit bmp file called splash1 (any name works)

Put the bmp in the nbimg tool directory.

Open cmd and cd to that directory then run command:

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 600 -h 1024

Take the output file and change the extension to .img

Make sure device is in fastboot and run command:

fastboot flash splash1 C:\nbimg\splash1.img

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Answers are in red. I would like to add pics to my write up if I have the time for it. Otherwise it will just be simple text.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
Much appreciated! Got it working correctly now :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triscuit1983:
That's what I was missing? Rotating 90 degrees counter clockwise? I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the info, just what I needed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Should I still create a writeup with the files I used or will my answers above be enough to get others going?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triscuit1983:
It could be helpful. If you've got the info and the time to write something up, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. You helped me by informing me of the rotation. I've been doing everything else correct since I had prior knowledge of what to do, but not everyone has done this before.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
nbimg works just fine.

I tested it. Photoshop->your image->1024x600 -> rotate CCW -> save as Windows BMP 24 bit.

Go to nbimg route.

Rename flile extension to .img.

Use fastboot command.

What's the tool OP uses?

That's only question I have.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Ffmpeg with clickable batch files. One batch can pull the image out of existing splashs for editing and the other creates the splash.img from an image. I believe java is a pre-req but then anything android dev related does.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Thanks.

Waiting for the details.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Writeup has been added to the bottom of the first post along with a link to download the files I use.

I hope the instructions were clear enough.

I understand it fully. Thanks for the help on this. :D

Edit - I figured I'd show off why I was asking for help. This is the splash I created.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkmagician419:
*Mods, please move if in wrong thread*

I am developing a ROM for a major company, but I have a few questions, probably for very advanced developers...

1. Is it possible to develop an app, and incorporate it directly into a rom, almost as if it were a setting? So, instead of the user clicking on the app, can I make it as a built in function of the ROM?

2. Since I'm developing for a company, is there any way to disable installing any other app, even from the market?

3. Also, is there any way possible, to have a centralized "server" for the rom, to see where all of the devices are (gps), and be able to update the rom from the server?? Kind of my own OTA updates..

How would I go about this? Where to begin?

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you in advance
