[Gen8 General] dalton1091:
Hey guys i bought an archos 101 a while ago and until recently have been pretty unhappy with it lack of google apps intergration took forever to get flash have to tweak everything just to get it to work decently but thats besides the point my question was really concerning hhgreg and their psp warranty. The tablet will still function fine im listening to pandora on it now but the screen wont always come on it takes at least 20 presses of the power/wake button to get the screen on,when i bought it from hhgreg they sold me the psp warranty which was 130 dollars when the tablet was 300 but they said they covered accidental damage and basicly everything even if there was a newer model out and something went wrong with mine during the two year period that they would give me the new model. Im 5 months in and the screen wont come on and the gen 9s are about to launch ive dealt with hhgreg before with mp3 players years ago and they were great about replacing them, i was wondering if you all think they would give me the gen 9 if i waited to make a claim until they launched and make good on their offer or if they would stick me with another gen 8. Has anyone dealt with hhgreg? and how is their customer service? thanks guys

i know you have to edit an xml file but i'm not sure which one, where and what values to look for. any help, please??

See instructions further down in thread...

Here is a new one...

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
the file is in the Bin folder I believe... but I suggest you don't do it!! I think it hard bricks your phone. I THINK!!!!!! otherwise, I'm sure naven and dragonz woulda changed it in their bootups.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Ya thats what i was thinking...i looked in the bin folder, nothing but i figured if nothing was out there and i looked really hard, then don't mess with it...lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Changing the splash screen is definitely possible. It doesn't hard brick your phone, and I changed it many times on my tbolt. It just isn't in the same spot on the dx2 it seems.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
I have done this quite a few times and it's not that hard, nor will it brick your phone. If you mess up the worse that will happen is that you'll have a black screen instead of the actual logo. These steps are exactly like the ATRIX and can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1187337
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Ya i was reading that...but does it work on X2? Has anyone tried it?
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Why don't you do it yourself? Worst case you get a black screen and have to fix it. Just make a backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I have found very little info about the subject i looked a lot so i figure there might simple way to change it without it being a BFD i was just seeing if threre was an easy way to do like just replace a picture so im just waiting to see if anyone has done it or has an more info about before i dive in...that's all

I'm pretty sure we need s-off to change the M screen
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Motorola phones don't have s on and off
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Guys please read my post. I have done this on the X2 and can confirm that it works.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
So the atrix method works on X2, have you done it recently?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Hey it worked...right on but one thing was it says to delete the last two bits in file but when i do that it throws the size off instead of being 1036820 it becomes 1036818 so i left the two bits in and it stayed at the proper size, fastboot flashed and it worked. Whats the deal with deleting the last two bits?
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
So it worked great thanks dragonzkiller, im going to attach the file i made in-case anyone wants to change it using the directions from the link below.

The attached image is just to show you what it looks like you need the bin file to flash it which is located in logo.zip below, also i found the fastboot method provided in directions was super easy and worked no problem where the CWR zip method did not work i think because the zip template they give you is corrupt or something it acts weird if you try to edit or unzip it. Just use fastboot method super easy.

Dang. I just got took to school. I did not know that.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Page not found. I just tried doing this in another thread, wouldn't find files thru CMD. Anywho I'll try again later, after I make a custom one.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I fixed the link...you have to download the fastboot.zip from link and unzip it like in c:/fastboot then go to command prompt go to that directoy and run the commands. You also have to copy the logo.bin into the fastboot directory.

In the link posted over at the atrix page there are a bunch of other ones people made that you can download and install.

Its easy to make your own you just have to use a hex editor to tweak the finished image which seems very scary at first but its really easy you just have to be very carefull.

I use Hxd Hex Editor... http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

I will also say that in the directions it says once your done editing hex the size will be 1036820 bits it says to remove 2 bits from end of image but when i did that the size changed to 1036818 bits, 2 bits lower then what it says so i did not remove the last 2 like it says and it came to the correct size of 1036820 bits so im just saying it says to take delete 70 bits from beginning then 2 from end and i did not remove the 2 from the end because it threw off the size, do whatever you want but that's what i did if it helps.

Did not work.

Got this::

E:ERROR(Status7)

Installation aborted

That's not.exact but is pretty much what I saw. If u need me to I can write down and post exactly what ibsaw if it will help at all. I didn't try to boot after seeing that. I just restored nandroid since I can't sbf until tomorrow night if I would have had to.

Thanks for the effort! I will test if u try again. Its not a huge deal. Just nice to change something like that easily. Especially if it can get changed to many color choices that easily or maybe even different pics to show up would be awesome. Like replacement with the eclipse bootanimation orb I see after moon covers the "M".
[Motorola Droid X2] dajmanjt:
changing the startup logo sounds like a winner to me.... i would love to flash the atrix port start up logo onto my eclipse rom
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I think you are thinking of the boot animation this is the red M you get right when the phone turns on this one isn't animated it just before animation.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Ya you have to use the Fastboot Method, its super simple...

Download Fastboot --> FastBoot

Unzip into C:\

Copy logo.bin into c:\fastboot

Put your phone into fastboot method but shutting off then restarting holding power and volume up, till you see a message in white text then scroll with volume keys until it says fastboot then press power button, it will say fastboot mode.

Now goto c:\fastboot in command prompt CMD enter these codes..

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot

Thank you! ^^

Good job, your rom work well, but the new radio is bad for battery...:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Found this while searching around google. It's a leaked RUU for the HTC Pico "explorer" which is a light version of Sense 3.5 on android 2.3.5 or most commonly known as "sense zero". I thought I would post it up so that you'll can start porting over to the hero.

The Pico specs are rather similar to our phone so it shouldn't be to difficult for someone to port it over, it's also mdpi so no resizing will be necessary.

If you are already considering taking on this project then more than likely you already know how to setup a flashable rom from a ruu but in case you need some refreshing the following will help:

Instructions:

- dsixda kitchen will need to be installed prior to starting.

1. Run RUU and leave open

2. Type %TEMP% in your computers start menu search bar.

3. Search through the folders in there with the long names with numbers and letters, you'll find a zip file named "rom.zip" in there.

4. Place the rom.zip in the original_update folder located in the "kitchen" directory

5. From there follow the steps on the kitchen menu to setup the rom.

6. Then proceed to porting to the hero. :]

- Download Pico RUU

Also, just a heads up, this thing may be running a new kernel, so it might not boot on first port with any of the kernels currently available to us. Someone good with kernels should be able to help out if this is the case?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:

I'm actually in the process of getting one off of my employer, they lend out old refurbished phones they have in storage in case our personal phones need replacing or what not. I already submitted a report claiming my phone is having some problems, so hopefully by Tuesday I should have a hero again for a bit.

Most people go for some of the newer phones they have in stock but I asked for a hero specifically lol. They're really cool about trying to get you the phone you ask for and since no one asks for heros anymore I'm pretty sure they'll loan me one. =]

Thanks for the offer though griffin, if for some reason I don't get the phone I'll let you know to see if we can work something out.

Continuous boot loops currently. Doesn't even get far enough for a logcat

私のEVO 3Dから送信される
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Have you checked the log of the flash process? Maybe there's something going wrong with the installation.

Do the following:

1. Flash rom

2. Right after the rom flashes start up an adb shell

3. followed by: cat /tmp/recovery.log > /sdcard/recovery.log

This will copy the recovery log to your sdcard. Check it to see if there's anything wrong with the installation. If everything looks correct then more than likely it's the kernel. I unfortunately have no experience with kernels, maybe jaybob will see this and help out?

You've got to be kidding me. A Sense 3.5 port? For the Hero? GOD I miss that little device. I might follow this thread to see where it will go, I can't believe this is all still going. Makes me happy and sad at the same time :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
I am also stupidly interested in following the development of this... and by this I mean:

I have always liked Sense in the way it looks and most of its extensions/widgets.. but its "FAT"... Since this is billed as Sense "lite" I am very interested, especially for my old (no longer on a carrier) HeroC

The Kernel, something new always comes out of investigating likewise device kernels, I can always hope for miracles!

And of course, I take the classic "profiling" of a redneck in the fact that its new and "SHINY"!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
sorry 10char...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
I sent this to a buddy of mine a couple of minutes ago to test for me, and he said it wouldn't boot for him. He dumped a log of his recovery and everything seems to have installed fine, all apps/framework installed which is a good thing.

So I'm thinking the problem is with the boot.img, it might not be the kernel but more so the ramdisk? Problem is a logcat is not possible since the the phone won't even boot on the .35 kernel far enough to start the log.

Anyways I'm going to post it up in case some brave individual comes along and figures out what's wrong with the boot.img.

As stated before, this won't boot so don't download with the hopes of it booting on your phone. Only people who know what they're dealing with here should download to work on.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Looking forward to your help on this Tazz. Your work (on the Eris?) always seems to trickle down to something good for the Hero. Nice find FlashingLights. Would live to run Sense on the hero, especially if it's light enough to run quickly! Thanks for your continued support despite the fact you don't even have a Hero anymore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
I feel like our problem running sense roms is gpu rather than cpu. So even a lighter version such as this will still feel rather sluggish. P.S. this isn't based on facts but on assumed knowledge

[Hero CDMA Android Development] youdug:
Same here. I tried the first night. I dont know what im doing but i figured id try. Followed a porting guide i found. Tried to replace everything with stuff from the wildheroc rom since theyre both sense. Replaced the boot.img, usr folder, vold.fstab, and the lights file in the lib folder. Didnt get past htc screen. Tried everything the same way except replaced the zImage with the one from the sept 10th .35. Same result. Like i said, i dont know what im doing, wanting to learn tho.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
You'd have to do more than that. You also need to trim down the system partition size to fit onto our phones. I've done that, but just can't get it to boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Need logcat to see whats happening

self proclaimed XDA resident prick
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Direct port over won't boot, like dastin said some apps need to be removed for it to even finish installing all the drivers/libs.

I know others in the legend and mt3g forums are having problems with it getting to boot aswell so it's not just us.

Just replacing the boot.img boots phone back into recovery and replacing only the kernel bootloops the phone on the splash screen, which leads me to think the kernel works but there's something wrong with the ramdisk or maybe even our bootloader? I really don't know what it could be.

I asked nfinitefx if he could help out this morning and he said he'll try to take a look this afternoon, hopefully he can tell what the problem is.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] flashinglights:
Thanks for pointing that out jiee I didn't even notice that, well I guess that means a full 3.5 rom won't be happening any time soon. Maybe a hybrid is possible though, like tazz says. :]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JieeHD:
I think a hybrid is possible but obviously the launcher is a no go at this stage. We could start by porting the music.apk and adding the beats feature ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jles1693:
I have been looking at this too, and have made some progress, checked files for difference between RC2.2 and Pico, and It looks like most are similiar, some of the files in system/app and system/framework are more recent.. I am going to update files and zipalign using the hero fw and files that are currently in the RC2.2 rom when I get home tonight.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rast4man:
Despite not being able to put a 3.* launcher on this, it would still be cool to have a hybrid port. We could just use TW Launcher or Zeam and Agile Lock to at least give it somewhat of the appearance of the Honeycomb look and feel. *shrug*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
This has probably been asked, but I haven't seen the question or answer... So here goes. Would it be possible to upgrade, I.e. replace the processor of the hero for an ARMv7. Just curious. I'm sure it would be very difficult, but with all that I've seen, I don't think it would be impossible.
