Weel takes more than just unlocking a bootloader. You need to rip apart the kernel in order to be able to optimise it, and dont forget, its a sony device, so its a bit more complicated to "hack" than an HTC device per say.

Hint: You posted in the wrong section :P

Hello

I changed my boot animation, and its a lot faster than it should be...

Its not the first it happens to me...

Currently on Insert Coin, s-off, cm7r2.

Any answer will help... Thanx
[Desire General] elliottg61:
Ehhhhhh?
[Desire General] shaked1:
I mean...

The original boot animation that came with Insertcoin ROM (1.1.3), was fine, right speed, but I changed it today to a new boot animation, and its running at very fast speed... Frame rate, or png rate are very big, its running crazy fast.

Am I not clear enough?

I know its strange, and its not the first Time its happened to me... No one else had this issue?
[Desire General] danarama:
What's the framerate set as in the boot animation?
[Desire General] shaked1:
How can I check it?

Which frame rate should it be?

And, how can I change it?

Thanx a lot...
[Desire General] danarama:
It's in the desc.txt file. What's in the file?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
try running the zip through the preview - although i find it still appears faster on my phone than it does on the preview

[Desire General] shaked1:
Lothaen ;

Very nice software, the boot animation is running good there...

rootSU ;

Also in the desc.txt file, and also in the above software it says 24p (frame rate)

Its running much more faster on my device...
[Desire General] shaked1:
Up up up

Try changing to lower fps

[HTC Sensation] lorddart:
So I have been using this phone the last day or. Two and just noticed this. There what appear to be a couple black dots under the glass of the screen not sure if they are dead pixels or if it's dust or what the hell it is. Anyone have a clue and if there's anything I can do about it? I also did buy this phone used I dunno if that limits my Options.
[HTC Sensation] kwiggington:
I keep exchanging mine at tmobile this phone is starting to suck dust and dead pixels
[HTC Sensation] lorddart:
Do I need anything besides the phone for the return?
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
if a pixel is dead would it be black? what if one pixel is blue? That's what wrong with my phone, there is a tiny blue dot on my screen it annoys the **** out of me when the screen is black,

is there anyway to fix that? or would i have to return it?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I had exactly the same, tried to make phone S-on to return and bricked it so def had to go back. swapped it for another one and its fine. Dead pixel can be any colour, mine was blue too, and yes it is annoying. if its under warenty id try and make it sound worse for them to swap it if its quite new. good luck!

oh btw there is no way to fix a dead pixel.

[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
This isn't so much directed at just WP7 but perhaps all the mobile OS's.

For me, the biggest (by far) downfall to mobile phone gaming is that the controls absolutely suck. The hardware can absolutely run nice games smoothly (The Harvest is a great example) but it's the weak touchscreen controls that kill it.

Why hasn't anyone come out with a bluetooth controller (not a Wiimote) that is targeted at mobile phone gaming? Imagine if you will, a $40 controller that fits in a large coat pocket, and comes with a download for a semi-decent FPS game that was designed with the mobile screen in mind.

To me it's a no brainer. But all that being said, there is a PSP phone now and I little desire to have it. Now a PSVita phone, that's another story...
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
I am loving my Sensation, but I was going to upgrade to the Galaxy S 2 because of the camera, but I am noticing that the HTC Amaze has an amazing camera as well.

But its too close to the Sensation, I am wondering what does HTC have next in their line up that isn't a sibling of the Sensation, but still retaining the sensational power of the Sensation brand.

second question is, is there a place that we can download the movies in hd already wether they are paid for or not doesn't matter. it maybe easier to just pay for em then covert some of them.

thanks.

I am looking into my gmail account to see if the data backed up to it can be exported/imported to excel format since I have 3+ years worth of texts stored there form the backup programs. If we could run the program and then simply take the data directly from our gmail label that would be nice.

[LG Optimus 2x] dros74:
I am using the awesome Topogigi ROM 1.9 ROM with the great Horse Power 2x extreme kernel and I thank both Topogigi and spica1234 for their great work.

Although I am very happy with this setup, I don't like the stock notification bar and the oversized icons. I made some simple modifications to it on UOT and I am sharing the framework to others that might like it.

This was only tested with Topogigi's 1.9! It wont probably work with older versions.

Edit: I have changed a few things to make colors a bit darker (and better contrast in the battery icon so the percentage is more visible) and added a 2nd download link and screenshots below the first ones.

What was changed from stock:

Taskbar is now black

Battery mod: Enhanced

Emoticons: Original Droid

Honeybread taskbar Icons

Several statusbar color changes

Popup windows blue glow

Volume bars and sliders are blue

Boot animation: Android Particles

A few other color tweaks

[Version 1 - Lighter Blue and Lighter Statusbar]

Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ssilst6mxpsg54c

The file should be flashed in recovery.

[LG Optimus 2x] dros74:
Did you look at the screenshots? The % left on the battery is there!

I know the numbers have a low contrast because the color I chose is a bit too bright, but its definitely there.

Actually I am using an updated version myself with a darker blue on the battery icon and a few other changes (mostly darker blues all around and darker status bar) that I can post if you want.

I currently some how got the rooting onto my samsung capivate. It's fully rooted just without clockwork recovery mod. When ever i try to flash it on the device it says successful but when i reboot into recovery it just show me the same recovery as before it was even rooted.

So my question is when flashing a custom rom on the device do i have to use odin or can i use clockwork recovery directly?

Thank and much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepypheonix18:
If you have recovery 2e you can simply install clockwork mod. If you have recovery 3e install a kernel that has clockwork mod built in using Odin. From then on you won't need Odin to flash a custom ROM. Simply use the install from zip option in clockwork.

After inserting the sd in the A500

Hold the volume down button and continue to hold while powering up.

Once you see a few lines in the upper left of the screen you can let go the volume and let it do it's thing.

Takes about 5 minutes or less to install.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:
First of all,i am really happy to announce (for those who came across with my desperate threads trying to solve my battery drain over 3G network issue) that flashing XXJPU Rom + Removing the partitions (swap + external extra storage) of my SD Card solved my problem. Battery is not draining anymore,and everything is working just fine with the stock rom.

The question is : Can i partition my SD Card again (to add internal storage,since i´ve came across the damn "Internal Storage is Nearly Full" message) ?

If yes,will i have to reflash the rom or , do anything else then just creating the partition using the Minitool software ?

Thanks in advance,and thanks again for those who tried to help me !
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
No need to make a new partition, extend the current one by minitool/gparted
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:
I have o only one big partition used to store normal content. I need to make a new one to use as a extra internal storage space.. So i do need to partition it, all i need to know is if it will work and if i will have to do something else after partitioning it
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi_xman:
What can we do partition in our stock rom which would use as internal storage...? How to do it please teach me..
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:
If you create a partition on your SD Card as EXT2 ( i guess its EXT2 ) ,your OS will use it as internal storage.

Doing this,will solve the low internal storage issue.

I Just dont know if it works on stock roms,it does work on Kyrillos, inDroid, Sumee etc.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
@OP i though u already had one partition when you said partition again

if your sd is as it is(just one partition)

then do this

flash g3mod

reboot into recovery

and partition

its the fastest way to get a partitio

then you can use an app2sd/data2sd script (system/etc/init.d)

Or if you have a card reader

use minitool/gparted to partition

shrink the existing one and make a new partiton(ext4)

and yea backup ur data, just in case!
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:
Thanks for the reply : )

I will use minitool since i know how to use it.

After creating a EXT4 Partition,what will i need to actually tell my OS to use it as internal storage ?

Will i need to reflash rom ? Run any script (like Data2SD) ?

Also, is the Kernel or the Rom that actually recognizes the partitions and use them ?

EDIT : Hey @cdesai i just partitioned my SD using minitool creating a EXT2 Partition for internal storage upgrade.

Following again,this tutorial here : http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning

Titaniun backup is not recognizing the extra space,what do i have to do now ?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
Hmm.

ext4 would be a bit better but ext2 is also ok

now keep an a2sd script in /system/etc/init.d

there is a thread in dev section by kyrillos with the script and instructions, use it

or flash a custom rom which already has it

and yes you need a kernel with init.d support, but every custom kernel has that feature(cf-root,fugumod,g3mod,simplicity,etc.)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekmishra:
use a custom room like indroid, kyrillos etc & enjoy after partition, set the restore location as "internal" in the titanium setting before restoring apps :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
Thank you, I will read up on your links here. I hit the thanks too.

BTW I have some pictures of what I am seeing and hopefully the link will assist me greatly.

Does it matter that the Dell Streak is an Engineering Model? lol sorry if I didn't mention this before...Just found out.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It makes a huge difference. Read this thread. The TL;DR version: before bricking his unit, the user rooted the phone but could not install any ROMs.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Engineering models are in general not compatable with retail roms. If it stopped booting it might be a full brick now.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Which would be rather tragic. While I know I wouldn't be able to update an Engineering sample, I wouldn't want to anyway. I'd love to have one simply because they're scarce.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
If it wasnt for the fact it was bricked and the rom nuked I would have asked for details of the pre-installed rom as eng streaks are exceedingly rare in working condition now seeing as the streak is (in phone years) very old.

Unless he finds a magic way to make it boot again it's likely completely worthless now. The amount of work to find out why it differs from retails streaks and porting a rom over would be much greater then buying another streak/phone
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
Well damn, I'm glad that I still have it but I Never said it was bricked. :)

Actually,

It is fully functional with everything original from the the engineering desk with all the Dev apps!!!!

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
I've accidently assisted in helping brick a few eng s5's before trying to flash a retail rom on them.

Good thing you didnt go though with (or at least get far enough) bricking it :D

Would you be willing to dump the rom? While you cant run any custom rec on it, you could use an older root tool (or newer one if it works) and root and manually dump it.

Just like previously stated working eng s5's are really rare.

I dont recall if i have that rom, I will check later today
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
Tears...

oh well, I was really hoping on gutting it inside out.

Don't mind dumping the rom but there has to be some way to push the file to the device and have it install automatically because there are issues with the D.S.

I'm sure you know this but this device is not a stable model, it's really sensitive and I wouldn't be surprised if it had split personalities :)

There are Errors!

We're talking- app errors and os errors. I got the streak like this and this is why I wanted to flash it.

I've tried installing apk's to the device and I get an error "No activity found to handle intent"?

This is on every file I try too open using the file explorer.

Either way let me know and we'll see what happens...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Wouldnt be surprised if the rom was feature incomplete. It may very well not have a complete set of frameworks/stuff since it's not ment for general use.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
Does sound like the situation here....

Wonder if there's a way to even implement a fix or patch to address that issue...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
If it was true it would require working on the code, which is what happened towards a release rom.

As an aside I checked and I do not have this rom either. Unless you're willing to spend years working on getting your eng s5 to work it's a waste of time.

As the retail streaks arnt even fully cracked when it comes building it from source, then multiply that by the fact eng ones are different and noone else owns one, much less would be willing to port a rom to it.

There might possibly be a simplier explanition in the rom, but without all the details it's somewhat hard to call
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
Like I said before, if you explain to me how to do a dump then I'm sure we can find out but I'm in no way savvy to software coding/writing...I wonder if a call to them would help? lol (if only it was that easy)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
You will first need to root your device, i would recommend using one designed for 1.5/1.6 like universal androot or something for that era
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
slight problem, did you notice the apps in the link?

there's no Market app, I also mentioned that I get errors when trying to install from sd....

Unless there is someway to cmd or adb into it and manually push it then I'm SOL
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Well they wouldnt be available on the market anyway, you would have to sideload it manually even on a normal functioning device.

if you have adb set up it's: 'adb install <path to apk>'.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilrepo:
