[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
I have a couple crazy ideas that would rock. if anyone here knows how to make these please reply... i wanna know whats possible, how they work, are they images or xml controlled or both
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo:
They are images that are frame by frame and usually jpeg or jpg format and then there is a text file that instructs the bootanimation what aspect ratio to display it in, how many frames per second it should move, how many times to loop the whole thing, etc. I don't know how to make the videos into individual frames but I can edit the frames, txt file, and zip it back up where it'll work? lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
are you talkin boot ani? bc im talkin bout when you click on apps, menu button, or the popups animation...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
First question for you. Do you know where the animation file are located?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano0714:
I think there in framework-res in a folder called anim... that was the last I remamber ,but I've never touched those.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
You are correct. I've never touch them myself, but you have to know where they are before you can even start. ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
I've tried many a metamorph for these & they are all boring the twist one is the only one I thought was cool out of all of em. I have no idea how to work on em so I thought id put my ideas out & see what happens :)

when you get to triangle screen you press 'alt' and 'L' on the keyoard to get to the recovery options... but on stock you can only flash official ota update.zip files.. you need to be on 1.5 to root device. than you can flash custom recovery, radio and spl to getetter roms... is youe device US model or UK model?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanlindo06:
I feel all of us have been waiting on a few things to come to light;

will there or won't there be support for FFC? Why not come out and say it? Instead we rely on blurry photos and code snippets.

Is there going to be real time multiplayer or not? Instead we get details on fast sync multiplayer for turn based games.

What of the AAA franchises? Mass Effect, Forza, Halo, etc. LIVE gamers are not iPhone gamers.

This is mere fantasy and not a true gripe, but an API for hardware controllers or interfaces would differentiate the platform well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanlindo06:
Sorry but there seems to be a bug in the app that won't let me view what I've typed past a certain point. I think they really, really need to release some details on Nokia and some new handsets. I just feel like im stuck in a rut waiting to see where the platform moves next.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charaity:
I use the sony erricson thingy to wipe everything. Just connect ur phone and tell it to repair. This should bring your phone to stock 2.3.3 :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistamikel:
Nothing works, I cant upgrade to anything but 1.6 which is why i wanna wipe it to nothing.

Look in dev section for revolutionary. Its the new root for gingerbread. Unrevoked doesn't work right niw
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indirect:
http://revolutionary.io is the website you want. The answers for root lie there. :D

The serial number it asks for shows up when you run the download it gives you so just type it in exactly as you see it as well as the beta key since the key is case-sensitive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icehawk_RA:
I keep getting invalid beta key and I've looked for almost 45min an no one has an answer why :[
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillaHurtz:
Copy the key directly and paste it into another program, like word for example. Change the font a few times and make sure you're entering the correct characters, some of em are tricky :). Goodluck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elwood:
Unrevoked wont work every again imo as they merged with AlphaRev and became REVOLUTIONARY

also make sure you download the latest build of Revolutionary.io which is revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip
[Off-topic] DS1495:
Haha, so this is an honest question.

Can I say "cheers" at the end of an email/post/or whatever, even if I'm not from the UK or Australia/New Zealand?

Or will people from around those parts judge me...? :eek: LOL.

:D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I say yes! It can be used as 'Thank you' or 'Toast your health'.

Others could be Slante or even Bottoms Up, (as long as the person you're talking to isn't likely to think you're giving them an order). :p
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Sure you can.

Cheers.
[Off-topic] juzz86:
I'll judge you...

Unless you put 'eh' or 'aboot' after it :p

:cool:

Cheers!
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Too true. Some people speak proper British English, with proper English.

Cheers.
[Off-topic] juzz86:
Too lazy for that, mate ;)
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
My good chap, if there's anything worth doing, it's worth doing right. And if there's anything worth doing, then it should be speaking the Queen's English like it should be spoken, not like some buffoon that can barely utter a simple sentence without butchering grammar, spelling and structure.

Cheers.
[Off-topic] conantroutman:
wot the bloody ell do u fink british peeple tawk like mate?

we aint got nobody left hoo no's how 2 talk gd and spell cuz the guvment took all da moneys out from the skools and that innit?

it were that bloody thatcher wunnit. place has gn to tha an that dogs yeah....

Dinnae even get me started on the Scots...
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Thanks for that, i feel right at home now! :D

Cheers everybody! Bottoms up.....*

*Not to be taken literally or as an order!
[Off-topic] xaccers:
You're Canadian, as part of the British Commonwealth of course you can say "Cheers" in fact you should use it as often as possible, along with "crickey" "crivens" and "bloody" :)

In return we will fit "Son of a gun" into as many conversations as possible :D (my great uncle moved to Canada and it did him the world of good, at 86 he had a heart attack so they fitted a pacemaker but I think they set it to turbo! He came over when he was 91, didn't look a day over 61, and didn't act a day over 21! Though all Canadian women I've met have been nutty as a fruitcake!)

I remember trading some stock through a US company, and the chap I was speaking with, from Texas I think, gingerly said "Cheers" at the end of the conversation, so it's not true that all Americans don't speak English ;)
[Off-topic] Dirk:
My cousin in Canada is probably as 'nutty' as you suggest, but had the good sense to leave the UK, marry a developers son and now lives in a bespoke, hand-crafted and beautiful home on the side of a mountain that they own, overlooking an amazing lake and away from the urban rat-race! I take the mickey out of her accent but to be honest, she pwned me, big-time! :D

(Her brother btw is the town doctor in a nice rural village where he keeps his own hours, goes skiing whenever he feels like it, has a home provided by the state, and whenever he meets one of the townsfolk in the street they invite him to dinner!

Am i jealous though....?

You betcha ass i am! :D Good luck to them them though they deserve it all!*

*At least i speak English proper. Ahem, proper English..Cough, errr, the Queen English...? (Let me know when i get it right...) :o
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Son of a gun! :D
[Off-topic] DS1495:
Haha, Juzz, it's funny because I do say "eh" a lot. Although I've never, ever, heard someone say "aboot". I've always wondered where that rumor ever came from... Nobody says it. Haha.

The worst is when Americans say "ruff" instead of "roof" lol, that grinds my gears. :p

-Cheers :D
[Off-topic] studacris:
That's weird, I just stumbled on an article a couple days ago about the study of accents and their development (now I wish I saved that link). Apparently the current british accent didn't evolve into what we know of it now until after the american revolution. So the american accent is how the british spoke before that change...
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
No! Because Apple has a patent on the British and won't allow them to patent words. But Apple did patent "cheers".
[Off-topic] xaccers:
I'm sure I remember an aboot or two in Degrassi Junior High.

What gets me is that americans call this:

I made these icons sets for myself and a friend. Its my first attempt at icons, so nothing special. It started with make a nicer looking icon for google+ (and its the only one I personally really like) and I decided to do a few stock icons with a background. Icons are a little big, 400x400, but look nice on a screen. Enjoy.

Screens:

Knowah RoundRainbow

Knowah RoundBlack
[Android Themes] CalicoJeb:
I tested a few - These are great for my theme, and the perfect size when slightly optimized with desktop visualizer.

Possible for you to make a few more that I will need?

If you agree I'll let you know what icons are needed in the RoundBlack style, same size as those here

I WILL show my appreciation :-)
[Android Themes] knowah:
I'll be happy to give it a shot. Just let me know what you want and give me a little bit of time. I'm in school and work, so it might take me a bit to get them done, depending on my free time. I still have the backgrounds saved as .psd, so all I'd have to do is edit the icon you need and apply it.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
It's hard to get leaks, insiders, and sources to come forward. That's why I am posting this. If you are a person who has access to (either directly or from a friend of a friend of a friend) SBFs or OTAs that haven't been released to the public, please get in contact with me. I may be able to help find an unlock for your device (any Motorola at least). I respect privacy and confidentiality. You can find me as The2dCour in a variety of places (email, irc, IM, etc).

Don't be shy, I'm not a Moto spy ;)

edit: please respect your source's privacy and confidentiality by asking them if you can release files to me as well!

edit2: Check out Project Cheesecake and help find files yourself!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Oh please somebody get in touch with this guy.

Karma will be weighed very good for you for a long time if you do
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Can I ask why they have to be unreleased ones and not public files? Doesn't that make it that much harder? I mean wouldn't it be easier to work with what we have, than working with what we don't.

Don't mean to bash or anything, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Double post caused by lag...please delete
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Unreleased, ergo dev builds. ergo unlocked bl's
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
If they released them that means your Carrier approved. As far as I know no carrier has approved an unlock, and no official SBF/builds have included an unlock. Of course this could all change.

You aren't bashing, the guy who responded to my similar post on Droid 3 forums was bashing. Not a good start with relations there.

[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
There could be some sort of monetary gain to whoever comes forward, if you do end up getting the bootloader to unlock, you would get the bounty of over $495. The monetary gain for the leaker: you could perhaps share a bit with him or her?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
Man, do I love pudding.

[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
Oh please find us the pudding! I want to eat it I am starving! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
It looks like an OTA, no idea which one or if it is official or unreleased or unlocked till I look at that file.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
It is a test build. Not sure if its an OTA one or an update you would need to use RSDLite to flash.:D
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
You can tell it is an OTA because it is a zip file with a bunch of other files in it and an updater script etc. sbf files are always(?) .sbf.gz and just uncompress to a .sbf file.

edit: the sbf compressed files are also usually over 400mb instead of 100-200mb.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
Your right it's an OTA update.

On a side note I found out something interesting in RSDLite. You can flash individual files, not just .sbf files. It supports .img and a bunch of other formats. I found this interesting since the screenshot that was posted has a .img file in it.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
RSD may support it, but your device also has to support it. However, I never knew that and it could be interesting to play around with that. Thanks for the info!
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Given that info, perhaps it could be a ton easier to make an unlock for our devices?
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Not really ;) Just might be easier for me to make it. Still have to find the right leaked version.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
So still nothing huh? No one has come forward? :(
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Nada, either a leak doesn't exist or nobody knows friends in the right places ;) I'm guessing the latter.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
I need some help. I may have unlocked the bootloader via an early sbf file for the x2. I ran fastboot oem unlock and cmd prompt said ok. But the phone didn't change logo like "unlocking bootloader can void warranty, bootloader unlocked"

So the bootloader may have already been unlocked........ or in the version it doesn't say that.

So here is were i need help. How do I know if the bootloader is unlocked? Is there an app/command that will tell me?
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
This is great news. I am looking at it in a second. It will be easier to test this out on IRC? Can you come there? #droidx2 on freenode.net you can use an IRC client or just hop in on your web browser.

edit: It's interesting. There is no unlock feature in this SBF at all. It doesn't even mention oem unlock not implemented.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Please let this be happening right now. My adrenaline is pumping ;(
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
I've been in IRC with them, and it's a no-go. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
It was still locked. =(
[Motorola Droid X2] sn1p3r6992:
Aaahhhhh I was soooo excited that maybe something was there. I wish I could contribute something to all this but I have nothing:(
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Aggh ...dang darn dangit...so what had happened? Just a fluke or a close call..

I've just had a feeling something gonna happen with soon. I really hope my spidy sense is right
[Motorola Droid X2] sn1p3r6992:
Seems like it. Devs seem to be finding more and more ways to try to get around the bootloader. Hopefully one of their discovered methods will finally crack it.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Fortunately after looking at some of the sbfs I'm almost positive that an unlock is out there in some unlreleased SBF file. The evidence is this, kind of weak but make of it what you will:

1) The Atrix SBFs I've worked with before unlocked Atrix had no oem unlock code.

2) The recent ones had oem unlock code, but it wasn't implemented.

3) There was an SBF earlier than the not implemented one that wasnt released but had oem unlock implemented.

4) Your Droid X2 follows the same pattern from points 1 & 2, now we just need step 3 ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Like I said. Im getting a tingly feeling and I don't think it was the nachos I ate
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
I'm kinda getting the same feeling that we're getting close. So if we wanted to do project cheesecake, what build would be best to find a unlocked? The VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.5_1FF_01.sbf?
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
I'm am trying this as we speak. I figure we got close with this sbf that maybe there is an interm one that we can get to.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
I'm sure this post will get lost eventually, but I just want to remind people asking me things about DX2 that I am on an Atrix, there are certain things I cannot test/try all on my own.

That being said, I cannot flash files or test for errors. What I can do is test sbf/ota files for an unlockable bootloader, so please check the list in the OP and if you have a file I haven't checked, send it on over to me.

v--- @post below this: cat filename | grep INFOOEM --- If it has the unlock this will show it. *filename = sbf/BL name. The real testing to see if there are any bugs/bricking the phone has to be done by some brave x2 owners after I make the pudding file. I always try to help and walk through enough users and test with a few people to ensure that problems are either minimal or recoverable. Every time there is an unlock some random things pop up: Atrix- International users had to have a RAM fix, recent updates bricked people that tried to downgrade without an unlock. Photon- everyone lost 4g after unlock, but can be regained by flashing a stock BL. Who knows what it will do with your phones o.o;
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Jus gotta say thank you so much for your efforts when u don't even have this phone. And o hope u get at least part of the bounty for ur efforts if u don't actually the one who brings us the bootloader.

But I also have to ask how are you able to check?
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
I found a build under qa4 server but it won't let me download. Arggg!!!!!!! I can't download with wifi or 3g.

Here is the build info

1.2.1480.en.us

1.2.145-1.2.1480

We are close
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Why can't u download. R u blocked from it?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ha ha...maybe it will GIVE us the 4g we deserve. Lol. ***WHACK>>deadhorse

That would be freaking insane and great tho wouldn't it....

I can't wait to see where this goes...
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
No amount of software can activate hardware that doesn't exist lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
But you can modify the framework to say 4g instead of 3g & use your imagination.........
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ha ha...trick my friends by modifying wifi to show as 4g would be pretty funny.
[Motorola Droid X2] urphonesux:
someone should release a flashable .zip that does that
[Motorola Droid X2] DX420:
LOL SERIOUSLY.....lets let the devs keep working on actually making our phones run better....instead of just looking like it lol....4g icon.hahaha
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
Any status of the unlock. Just wondering what the progress might be.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Its probably going to be a while unfortunately :(

Id totally test though!

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Trust me guys, you'll know when it happens. You should never, as a rule of thumb, ask for etas. It annoys the devs and makes more posts to go through in threads.
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
Okay I was just checking. I will have time to possibly help after this month is over but just got to much going on right now.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Actually it doesn't annoy me, I don't have to BUMP this thread half as often ;)

But yeah, you will see a thread in the dev section as soon as I find one (or any one else I'd imagine) and I will ask to have it stickied so will be easy to find.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattchenzo:
The bounty is up to $805, by the way. ...
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Hopefully get some new files to look at today. Will update OP when I know more.

edit: updated OP. No unlock.

I am basically too busy to look around at this lately. Ill still look at any files sent to me, if there is something I will report. Otherwise you are on your own.

[Motorola Droid X2] naviathan:
Interesting piece of information. I think we may be looking at the version numbers wrong. Using the code posted by balltongue (Dial *#*#4636#*#*) I've been keeping a list of the server information for the downloads I've pulled (sadly only two so far). The version numbers are the same for both downloads (1.3.380), but the service information shows a second subversion of the file. The two 1.3.380 files I have are server versions chef.nightly.0.0.230:20111110.1209 and chef-stable.release.31:20111108.0418

Note the 20111110 and 20111108 sections. These look like production dates. Thoughts?
