About following wiki, just like hacking a PSP or like rooting my previous android, what I always do or try to ;)

About being scared of command prompt, the whole point of me trying to root it is to get a proper command prompt with all linux functions (instead of an emulator which just has cd ls and some basic commands)!:D

Edit: I need to root the phone/not necessarily mod it!

Also, which is the best mobile tv of the lot? (If it won't work with EDGE, I can still use with Wifi)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptesmoke:
id still recommend rooting with the wiki, id also recommend cm7 still as well, but if you just want to be rooted on stock, follow the wiki then flash the stock pre rooted rom in the dev section. id also put eng hboot as well because with it and cwm recovery you can pretty much rest assured your device will always be recoverable.

cant comment on mobile tv as i never use it. i heard crackle is a halfway decent free mobile movie app tho..

Hey all, I snagged some sweet Helix Android boot animations from THIS thread.

Here are some previews:

All I did was download the .zip files and extract the actual boot animations. What you need to do is download the TMUS_bootanimation.zip file and place it in your /system/customize/resource folder and it will replace the existing boot animation. Then long-press on the file and change permissions to rw-r--r-- (hopefully that makes sense if you done this before.) That's all you need to do. Then reboot and enjoy!

Files:

Red Helix Boot Animation

Green Helix Boot Animation

11/11/11

I decided to update the green boot animation cause I reinstalled it on my phone - I lowered the FPS from 45 to 20 so it runs really smooth and nice. Here's the link:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
good find!!!

I was using the "Sky Raider" from UOT Kitchen but I'm switching to the Red Helix right now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Hey I really like the Red Helix. However, it seems to run through the animation sequence awfully fast on my phone (way faster then is displayed when viewing the OP through the link you provided).

pmcqueen posted White Nexus boot animation and noted that you could: "modify how fast it goes by changing the third value (framerate) in the desc.txt file"

I tried that earlier today on a bootanimation.zip that I downloaded from UOT Kitchen. I extracted the desc.txt file from the zip, edited it in Notepad++ by just changing the 3rd number to a lower number and then replacing the original desc.txt file in the zip and it worked great.

For some reason the same method doesn't work on the Helix bootanimation though. I extracted the desc.txt, changed the fps from 45 to 30 and replaced the desc.txt in the zip file and then proceeded to replace the current boot animation with this one following these steps posted by pmcqueen:

"Instructions for installation:

(using file explorer like root explorer)

download the zip, place on sd card.

find the zip in your file browser and move it to /system/customize/resource/ (overwrite existing bootanimation file)

change permissions to rw-r--r-- (read/write owner, read for group/others)"

Instead of getting a slower frame though, I just get black screen during the time when I should be seeing boot animation.

Is there something different about this file that I can't change the framerate or am I not doing this correctly?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
My guess is that you compressed desc.txt when you made the changes. Make sure you aren't compressing any of the files in the bootanimation or you'll get the black screen. If you use winrar (or any other compressed archive viewer) it should tell you whether or not the file is compressed. Make sure any changes you make are put back in the archive as "store only" (ie no compression). Good luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Thanks I did get to work.

I ended up slowing the Red Helix down to 20 FPS and it's running through the boot sequence at a good speed now. It seems like every boot animation I've tried so far runs faster than intended on my phone though which I find strange.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah I noticed that, too. I wonder if it's because our phone is actually faster at processing the graphics and that's why it seems so fast specifically on this phone? When I get some time I'll slow them both down and add a link. Thanks for your input!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymtee:
My rooted Nook color automagically downloaded and updated to 1.3.. In order to try and get google things going again, I applied MN 4-5-15 and 4-6-16, although it only makes sense that just 4-6-16 is needed.

Now the problem is that the Nook will not boot back up unless the usb cable is plugged into it. Pressing and holding the power key does nothing. If I let it boot from the usb cable, all is fine... (well, I'm still having market problems...)

Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymtee:
I ended up reflashing stock 1.2, updating to 1.3, and then running MN. All back to running now.

Hi!

I am looking for a way to forward ports through a http-proxy, which use authentification (username/password). Specially for the androidmarket to update my apps.

I am in hospital right now and all ports except 80 are blocked.

I use the lightning-mod 5.0 with the Samsung Galaxy S2. Searched a lot but found nothing working for me.

Got my mom a nook color about 6 months ago, been running fine with CM7 on emmc. Yesterday she said it would not turn on. Plugged in, and tried to power on and got the graphic that the nook need to be plugged in. So let it sit for 20 min and it powered on and showed battery at about 2%. Left it charging with screen off over night and after 9 hours the USB cable was green showing charged, but when I turned on the screen it as only at 48%. Unplugged charger and plugged back in and it started changing again.

Any ideas if it might be a battery problem, charger problem or what?

Thanks for any help.

I personally use Miren browser. I just love the smoothness of it all as well as the quick bookmarks home screen. Now that the MIUI browser does the same thing I switch between the two. However, unless you use a MIUI rom you won't get that browser so Miren is your next best bet imo
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I use the stock browser on CM7. Does what I need it to do and never crashes or breaks.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I have been using Dolphin Browser HD until I bought my Desize Z but I generally can't download apk files from filesonic server. It tries to save it like an htm file, as a result i can't install it. After these problems i decided to try other browsers but i couldn't read good feedbacks about opera and firefox because of they don't both have flash support. So I can't know how to download apk files without any problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bharakrama:
I use the stock browser but when I was using MIUI, I found the stock browser on that to be really buggy and slow. During that time I used Dolphin HD and it was pretty fast, but I'm back to using Cyanogenmod so I'm using the stock browser again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusuriurikun:
Personally, I use Dolphin HD because (so far) it's the one browser I've found besides Opera Mobile that actually handles bookmark folders properly :D

(Yes, I consider this an essential feature that is sadly missing with the standard browser. It's something I've been spoiled on since "dunce-phones" like the LG Fusic (and its version of Opera Mobile); almost all Windows Mobile browsers handle bookmark folders, and it was one of the things I BADLY missed from WinMo (and at the time Opera Mobile for Android was not quite ready for prime time).)

There's also some nice plugins, not quite as many as with Firefox Mobile (which is nice but IMHO also Not Quite Ready For Prime-Time) but including at least one implementation of Adblock (again, something I do consider essential due to malware being distributed by compromised banner ads).

I've also found occasionally that some wifi hotspots with "AUP logins" (requiring you to accept an acceptable user policy before using the free public wifi) don't work properly with the stock browser but do with Dolphin HD.

That said--the stock browser ain't bad. :D I just happen to be a bit of a power mobile user...

My choice as well. I've been using opera on my home computer for years so it was a no-brainer to go with it on my phone. Having the ability to sync every bookmark no matter what device I'm using is key for me. It's fast, as fast if not faster than any other, and it just works well. I tried dolphin for a few weeks but never liked it, and I feel like the stock isn't as fast as opera.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolocabra:
for me it depends. if i want to use flash faster than the stock i use skyfire and if i want to download an file on another folder than download i use opera mini or the mobile both are great for downloads because they have download managers.

Radio
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.28.25.img (or radio-2.22.27.08.img)
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system -w

should be sufficient to get the "ram-hack"-combo.

The img files must be located in the directory from where you are calling the fastboot command.
[G1 General] pkilla:
Clockwork recovery wont let me flash these files only the radio

And I don't know how to use fastboot to flash
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
How does Clockword relate to fastboot???

You need to boot your phone into fastboot mode (back + power on), you connect your phone with your PC and then you enter the commands I wrote in my last post on a shell on your PC and after that everything is fine.

Edit: if you need intstructions to use / set up fastboot you might have a look here

My phone heats up too when playing (I got max 40C), don't know if it's related to the Wi-Fi, but I think it's normal.

About the error, what message it gives? Just force close?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Yes it's absolutely normal when cpu and wi-fi chips gets hot when they are long used or in hi speeds. So don't be stupid and when it feels like it's doing harm to phone - switch it off game/wifi and give time to cool.

Heat also bad for battery too. Battery should be in room temperature not 50c.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
Once i had error like that too with stock rom. But never with custom roms (Cm7, Oxygen or MIUI)

Do you added your wi-fi to wi-fi settings? maybe you're using wi-fi N? or some kinda of super security :DD try wpa2

Also as i see you use stock rom, they are BIG HUGE ****. Use Cm7 and franco kernel.

BTW - i think bluetooth is integrated with wi-fi chip so if bluetooth works than your wi-fi chip i think is good, software related error you just getting.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rodoo:
i already added my wifi settings in ip-config manually and doesn't work, my password is only WEP. i already read about that the bluetooth is integrated with wi-fi chip, and yes... my bluetooth works perfectly, i used CM7 with franco kernel, is the best thing to this phone :D but only when i active the wifi it goes hot for something else... if only i put the bluetooth on, nothing happens. the phone is cooler itself, well, the only thing i did not is wipe battery stats... for me it's driver issue... in my phone (chinese U8800) i think that the wifi chip is broadcom in this phone and the bluetooth is the generic one, because the chinese market i think, i need the broadcom wifi drivers to override the default ones and test it...

Well, this is offer for who is going to help me.

I will give $30 for who is going to help me and $20 for return shipping fee to Thailand (you just have to ship via any service with tracking number, so you will get more than $30).

It isn't a nice offer but I really need some help.
[Quantum General] GT247:
You need to make sure what "they" mean when "they" say they have no international support before you decide to send it to someone to send it in for you....I'll explain...

Suppose you were a US citizen out of the country for a month or so...perhaps on business, or perhaps maybe in the military on a longer stay away....It wouldn't make much sense then for them to say "no, do not mail us your device, you're in another country and we don't support your device"

I'm trying to ensure that mailing it to someone here will solve the issue you're having as opposed to finding out afterwards it didn't matter where the device was mailed to them from, or by whom
[Quantum General] timberwo1f:
Thank you for your help. I'm quite sure that it is possible to do in this way, because LG customer support in US suggested me to do like this. Also, they said that I just can't mail my phone to repair center directly, but I can mail it to someone (actually, they said mail to friends or family) who live inside the US and ask him/her to send it to repair center.
