[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
didn't seem to work for me...

just black screen till it finished booting... so i went back to my Stargate animation :)

[edit]

hrmmm seems like it's a different method than my other animation to get it to work...?

I just read the install.txt ha, meh bad... I'll give it a shot in a little bit and see if it'll work.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikeeg02:
I have the origional android boot screen, I would like to have back. Any way you could make that work?
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
Should be able to replace the bootanimation.zip in the

/system/media dir.

I renamed the existing bootanimation in case i ever decided to go back and left it in the folder.
[Motorola Droid 3] IronFists:
send it to me ill see what I can do .. 'I dont like to over write the file in the system media easier to fix is something trips out using the /data/local/...
[Motorola Droid 3] mikeeg02:
here ya go.

BTW Seiryu's method worked aswell. No issues using that exact file.

Thanks to both, and cant wait for your method aswell, to help other less brave (or stupid, which is me lol) people from doing this before we have SBF lol
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
where did you get the stargate animation?
[Motorola Droid 3] IronFists:
As requested Droid boot original for the D3 i added the droid sound.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
awesome. simple, yet elegant.
[Motorola Droid 3] Seirÿu:
Sorry for the slow response, forgot to come back and check this thread :P

I can't remember exactly where i found it, it was a few weeks ago now... I attached it to my post though, just rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. There's no audio on this one... but should be pretty easy to add. I'll see if i can't add it later today if I get some free time i've just been lazy :P
[Motorola Droid 3] ubermetroid:
Looks nice! I will test it out later!

Thanks!

Droid prime animation

I am new to this stuff and recently jave rooted my phone and have learned how to put boot animations on. However i am trying to get this one on my phone and it works but its too big and i have tried adjusting the size in the desc.txt but then the animation no longer works. Can someone please help me convert it so it fits my mytouch 3g slide. 320x480
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Boot Animation. Absolutely love it.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
this is simply beautiful. i like the fact of nothing getting officially overwritten so it accounts for a safe/fast add or delete with no problems. A+

[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
Hey guys,

So I just bought a 2month used Infuse 4G originally locked to AT&T.

I've been noticing some issues and will try to explain it as clear as I can. Supposedly the person I bought it from said it was an OS issue...Hope you all can shed some light!

So pretend you're using your lovely android Infuse 4G and you're texting. All of a sudden you find yourself at the home screen, interrupted from your messaging. A couple of "huh's?" and "...wtf"'s you resume re-typing your text message.

Later you're on the highway driving to a new joint. The GPS signal has finally locked and you're cruising. All of a sudden, your GPS asks you if you want to end navigation. You look at your phone as if its a zombie and you quickly tap the 'cancel' option. Moments later, you notice the phone is back at the home screen and Google maps navigation is running in the background. You bring it back up. A few minutes later, the menus at the bottom come up. You tap the screen to make it go away and keep driving. This happens many more times while you drive even though you've already taken off the phone case.

So it seems like a ghost is touching the capacitive buttons. Not just one of those, ALL of them (Menus, home, search, back) while using the phone. It's not very frequent, but its enough to be aggravating.

Please advise, thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Is there a case or screen protector on the phone? if so try removing and see if the problem persists
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joshf2:
No offense but maybe when you hold your phone in landscape mode your palm touches them. Happens to me all the time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aussti:
Most likley a kernel issue.Go to your about section and check your kernel and rom version....if your already on a custom rom/kernel, then you might have to Odin back to stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
It's not an O/S issue .... well, it may be on YOUR device but not a general issue. If you do an Odin full restore to stock and still have the problem you now know why the guy sold it after 2 months.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
There is and I've tried removing it. Not the problem, but thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
None taken! I've actually left the phone w.o a case on a table. Its pretty scary to see your phone randomly show the menu from the home screen as if you pressed the button and then close that menu itself as if you were to press the back button...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
Firmware 2.2.1

Baseband I997UCKE3

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Buil FROYO.UCKE3

I hope its a kernel issue and not a physical....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
Not sure what an Odin full restore is, but i'll look into it and give it a shot. Not surprisingly, my Infuse 4G is also among the few that have a GPS signal issue. The phone locks after 30 mins if Im lucky...

I didn't pay $434 for a phone that doesnt work properly/involves tweaking just to make simple features work...*sigh*
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
Hi,

subpsyke, sfortier and I have been trying to get FM working on this device.

My FM app (see sig) otherwise works on subpsyke's CM port, but no audio can be coaxed out.

I bought a GT-I5500M (Canada) today; At $79 from Loblaws/Presidents Choice, the cheapest of 7 Android phones I've bought. Seems nice so far.

The GT-I5500 is supposed to have a MAX8899 Audio chip (which also does power management). I hope this Canadian M model has the same. I need to find out how we can enable FM audio routing.

Thus far the phone isn't rooted. Out of 6 other phones I've never once successfully gone back to stock. I REALLY want to be able to go back on this device. AFAICT there are no Canadian ROMs or Baseband radios downloadable.

I'm guessing I'll root, install CWM, do a nandroid backup, then perhaps try the Motafoca ROM, then CM7. And hopefully at any point I'll be able to go back to stock or close to it.

Every new phone requires me to read MANY threads before I have a reasonable idea of what I'm doing. So I'm new to this phone and just starting to learn. But I'm an Android dev with hardware and kernel skills.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome... Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] psyke83:
Hey Mike,

Let me get you started quickly with your I5500M... ;)

1. Here's a guide on how to flash ROMs using Odin. You'll need this in order to flash stock ROMs or ClockworkMod (a.k.a. CWM), but for CyanogenMod and custom ROMs, Odin is no longer needed since they are CWM-compatible zip packages. Here: http://madteam.co/wiki/index.php?title=Howto:_Flash_a_Madteam_ROM

2. If you need to get a backup of your official ROM (flashable via Odin, and very useful in case you need to get a warranty repair in the future), see this guide: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-europa-5/321656-manual-device-cant-updated-workaround.html and also the FUS check website: http://fus.nanzen.se/#top

3. CWM can backup boot (stl8), recovery (stl9), /system (stl12), /data (stl13) and /cache (stl14), but it doesn't support Samsung's RFS format properly; it can backup these partitions in RFS format, but can't restore RFS-formatted partitions properly (at the moment). Basebands can't be backed up, either. This means that CWM is not useful for stock ROMs.

4. When reverting from a custom ROM to stock, you need to remember that custom ROMs will have reformatted /data and /cache as EXT4 format, and stock kernels are not compiled with EXT4 support, which will result in a boot-loop. To resolve this problem, flash this package via Odin after flashing the stock ROM itself: http://www.multiupload.com/U52BMXNHOC - it will flash /data and /cache with a blank RFS-formatted filesystem.

5. For testing the FM radio, just use Motafoca's Froyo ROM. It's 99% identical to the stock ROMs, with superficial changes that don't affect the operation of the FM radio. It's also CWM-compatible, so you can quickly switch between Froyo and CyanogenMod via CWM's nandroid backup/restore. This is Motafoca's latest Froyo ROM based on Android 2.2.1: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(beta-released)-mad-rom-2-4/

6. Although all stock ROMs will contain a baseband, you can flash any version that you want via Odin. For CyanogenMod, I recommend the JPE baseband (irrespective of your region). See this thread: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/basebands/

Let me know if you need any other assistance. Your first step should be to download your official ROM via step two, and then you can decide the next step to take.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
Thanks subpsyke ! I'll do some reading.

This dmesg line seems to indicate MAX8899. Can't find any such clues anywhere else, not even looking at the kernel symbols:

[msm-audio:snd.c:snd_ioctl] snd_max8899_amp_off 0

I guess the lack of clues is because the MAX8899 isn't controlled directly by the kernel running on the apps proc. It uses an RPC mechanism to I guess the radio CPU...

I've done a bit of testing on the stock Android 2.1. Since this has been so difficult, I think the stock or Motafoca ROM is the best place to start, since the stock FM app clearly works.

If I can run the stock FM app, and get my app working to switch FM audio off, or on to speaker or headset, I think that's a good first step.

Are you using the Samsung kernel ? Or the Samsung kernel with source modifications ? Or is it a "purer" kernel with some Samsung mods ?

The first interesting audio related line in logcat when starting the stock FM is:

09-01 16:52:01.486 V/AudioPolicyManager( 1147): setPhoneState() state 3

I think the state normally only goes up to 2 (For in call), so I think this may be a special FM state.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] psyke83:
Edit: double-post, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] psyke83:
For CyanogenMod I use a kernel modified from Samsung's source with some additions and backports of 2.6.35 code (e.g., for the GPU drivers and USB switch interface).

See: https://github.com/psyke83/europa_kernel - branch 2.6.32-galaxy5. The "Initial upload" commit is identical to Samsung's original source, and the commits that follow are the customizations used in CyanogenMod*. Alternatively, you can find the source on http://opensource.samsung.com (I can't hotlink to the archive, sorry).

The max8899 is referenced in a few files:

Original versions:

https://github.com/psyke83/europa_k...c1e6c47c09ca258/arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp5/snd.c

https://github.com/psyke83/europa_k...a258/2.6.32-galaxy5/include/linux/msm_audio.h

Current versions in CyanogenMod (sfortier's modifications):

https://github.com/psyke83/europa_kernel/blob/2.6.32-galaxy5/arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp5/snd.c

https://github.com/psyke83/europa_kernel/blob/2.6.32-galaxy5/include/linux/msm_audio.h

There's an FM Radio test applet that's accessible by dialing "*#0368#" on a stock/Motafoca Froyo ROM. For service mode and other diagnostic functions, see the list here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781149

*If you install the "overclocked" Froyo 2.4 update, that will use the same kernel as CyanogenMod. The stock FM radio works fine despite having some (non-working) modifications from sfortier in the sound drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
Thanks...!

It appears very simple to control FM audio on the stock ROM. Numerous actions and log messages result from just one AudioSystem API call. Tried this successfully from my app without root, while stock FM is running:

To start FM (to headphone by default?):

setPhoneState (3); // 3 = PHONE_STATE_FM ?

To stop FM:

setPhoneState (0); // 0 = PHONE_STATE_OFFCALL

To switch to speaker:

setForceUse (4, FORCE_SPEAKER); // 4 = FOR_FM ?, 1 = FORCE_SPEAKER

To switch to headset:

setForceUse (4, FORCE_NONE); // 4 = FOR_FM ?, 0 = FORCE_NONE

But I guess it's the resulting dmesg output that's more useful for determining what's needed for non-stock ROMs:

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
Thanks but Guide and Check FUS don't help.

AFAICT nobody has ever uploaded a Canadian ROM or Baseband. Nothing Canadian on SamFirmware either.

Perhaps I can backup manually using dd.

I'll get root, temporary or not, and see if the /dev/msm_snd IOCtls I see in dmesg work.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] psyke83:
CheckFUS can download any firmware that's available on Kies. There's a preset for Canada Virgin (VMC) on the FUS website; I'm not sure if that's your network operator, but if it is, the preset is not returning a valid response. This means that the data entered is not correct, but you can input your exact details from your current ROM to get a valid download link. You can only download the most recent ROM (Froyo), but the point is that it will be a 100% official ROM for your phone's network code, and is therefore valid in case you need to return for warranty repair. Edit: ok, I see the problem. It seems that Virgin never released an update via Kies, so there's no firmware available for you to download via this method, sorry.

I highly recommend that you don't go dd'ing partitions randomly. While the system and user partitions are safe to backup, basebands and others (such as EFS) when accessed can cause the phone to become bricked. This issue is common to all the Samsung msm7x27-series Android phones that use the Flex Sector Remapper drivers.

As a matter of fact, I hard-bricked my phone today when trying to restore a backup of my EFS partition (stl5/bml5). I took this risk only because I already needed my phone to be repaired (missing HSDPA functionality and MAC addresses due to faulty ClockworkMod builds that flashed to the wrong partitions), and I wanted to do some tests before sending it in for repair.

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828534
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
Exactly. My super discount carrier PC Mobile is an MVNO of Bell. Virgin Mobile Canada is also a Bell MVNO and now owned by Bell. These 2 and SaskTel are the only Canadian sellers of the Galaxy 550 and all 3 advertise as Android 2.1. I don't think any will update this inexpensive phone.

Thanks for the warning. Seems strange that just reading a partition can brick a device. Sounds almost like a security feature. I try to do the riskiest things before the 14 day full satisfaction guarantee expires... :) Once a device is bricked, the guys in the store have no clue why.

Using psneuter for a temp root and chmod on /dev/ttyHS0 I've gotten close to getting my app running on the stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
My app seems to run OK now, but sadly no audio, even after various mods such as using the Broadcom volume register (0xf8).

The BETTER news is that Shawns13 has figured out a strange way to get audio on the Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M, which seems to have the same components.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17243645
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
There's a new version to test at http://www.mediafire.com/file/wzw86h6z3qh4xtl/Spirit_FM_Radio_v110904.apk

- 2 new Audio Methods:

GT-I5500

GT-S5660

These may fix or improve audio on several Samsung devices that use the BCM20780 FM/BT chip.

On my GT-I5500, starting the app/FM with Bluetooth ON results in a hard hang. Leave BT off.

Starting with other Audio Methods (such as when re-installed and default sfu_sdcs is set) can result in longer delays when starting, stopping or changing Audio Method. Just be patient for 30-50 seconds, and switch to SamsungDarky, GT-I5500 or GT-S5660.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This version doesn't produce audio (normally) on my GT-I5500. The logcat and dmesg messages indicate it's doing everything that seems to be needed.

So I think there is a Broadcom register setting or 3 needed. I'm able to kill -9 the Samsung FM app and btld and then I can run my app (in a special test mode that doesn't re-init the BT.)

I can then start and stop my app with no problem; Audio works on headset and speaker. If I allow my app to re-init the Bluetooth (via /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state), the audio stops working.

So I think this is now a Broadcom chip setting issue. I compared register dumps, good and bad, and identified a few changed registers. But nothing I've tried writing so far fixes audio on my device.

However other Samsung devices may now function OK with audio.

seriously wtf....

just use google talk and dont waste your friends and family limited texts.

seriously... wtf good is this app... none... if i cant make VOIP calls with my GV account then there is 100% no reason.

its the same reason why i never used GV on my phone... what the f** seriously...

it servs no purpose other than to make voip calls.

hide my real phone number?

jesus if you are that paranoid then maybe you shouldnt have a cell phone to begin with.
[Xoom General] RMarkwald:
You can check voicemails, get your facts straight bro. Sometimes people will call/text my GV number, so if I'm in a spot with no reception and my Zoom is on wifi, I can get the message at least and call back from a land line if it's necessary. I don't need to call from my Xoom, not why I bought it. It's free, and if it wasn't I would only use it on my DInc.

If you don't like it, cool. I'm still going to use it though.

From XDA App on Infused v2.1.0 OCed to 1.6 GHz
[Samsung Infuse 4G] snoopdaclown:
or download root tools and use the ones they got, click on the one you want and it will download and install but then you use root explorer and then you can put any bootanimation in the root tools folder in place of the one that was downloaded then you go into the roottools and hit the one that you swapped out and then it installs and there you go you got the one you want now...

It depends which scripts u prefer. They are different in some ways...and u may need to delete parts of conflicting scripts or entire script itself. I saw some people had problems when trying to do that. Just make ur nandroid before trying to be safe.

U could just push the scripts into init.d folder u want to use and fix permission/owners.
[Motorola Droid X2] rkuhldude77:
So the scripts from these two guys are named differently, does navens have the script that helps battery or can I just add that specific one from overmind into navens zip file?

If so what is the name of the script?

Sorry again I am a noob and am just trying to figure this stuff out
