Where did you put a bootanimation.zip? It should be in /system/media
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
yeah that's where i put it. now when it boots there's no ATT boot logo but it's just black screen till the apps load.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Sounds like you're using a bootanimation not compatible with our resolution. Look in the Themes&Apps section for a boot animation to make sure it works. I can't upload one right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I got it from the serendipidy 8 thread. shouldn't that work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Well let's debug, have you tried reflashing the latest experimental build of the kernel, and REMOVING the bootanimation.zip? Is the AT&T logo still showing up if there's no custom bootanim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
- Deleted bootanimation.zip (now there is no file named bootanimation.zip as before)

- Reflashed 10202011 DD

- AT&T default boot animation is back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Now throw in a bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ and make sure you change the permissions to rw-r--r--, or chmod 644 if you're using adb. That's important.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Which check boxes on the 9 box quadrant should I use in ROM manager when setting permissions? All 9 are checked. Just getting no boot animation again on boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Set those permissions. Still no animation just black. 2000% improvement over ATT, but still wanting to figure out the animation issue, hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Maybe use a different bootanimation? look in themes/apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There is a thread in this forum with Nexus Prime boot animation, the same one that is currently included with UnNamed rom. Also, look at the link in my signature for the android scribble bootanimation. These animations are 800 x 480 so they fit our screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Sorry to be a pain in the arse, but I can't find the ICS referenced one, can you help by linking me? :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
^ Just edited my post with a link.

btw: the op says it is the wrong resolution, but the actual file has already been formated to 800 x 480.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yay that solved it, it's working. Guess the one I was using was just a bad one.

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Turned out to just have been a bad animation. Thank you very much for your assistance is getting it working!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThugEsquire:
Apple just open sourced the Apple Lossless codec. With this in mind, would it be possible for a ROM maker to incorporate ALAC support so that all music apps could play the files?

http://www.appleinsider.com/article..._audio_codec_project_becomes_open_source.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
We can play almost any format. Alac "only" for apple. Flac is for computer, hi fi system, or anything including android. I have some flac as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThugEsquire:
Again, ALAC just went open source. What would it take to roll ALAC support into an Android ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Why not you use flac as it can be used anywhere?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] frescoraja:
For those of you that like the colored status bar and notification icons that m00nman posted, you will be able to find them here from now on, since it seems he doesn't have the time or desire to keep them up to date. I plan on continuing to update these as weaponx also updates. I am by no means a developer or modder; this is my first "project" of this type and m00nman did most of the work so thanks to him. This is mostly for my own amusement and learning. If you have any problems or suggestions let me know and I'll do my best to address them.

Anyways, here is a flashable ZIP that will install the aforementioned icon pack to your weapon x 3.0 r1 ROM.

Thanks to jcbofkc for the zip, I didn't know how to make one until he provided it.

Let me know if you like it, a simple thanks will do!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Will give it a try. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RL72:
Love it! Thanks!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Thanks. Will be upgrading to 3.0 and will include this.

Sent from my G2x running Weapon 2.8
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrZoth:
so this won't disable the quick-panel toggles like the old icon pack? sweet!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I am happy to see a couple people like the status bar.

frescoraja, did you post the version with the color notifications included or the other version? I am still using the one I posted in the old thread with the color notifications, so I have not downloaded this one yet. Did you have to make many changes? If you did, I would like to know what you had to do, so I can help on future versions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Thanks for the good work. I like the icons a lot.

Just a suggestion-can you guys make the battery colour when fully charged to be green(it will match the weapon G2x default theme better) and not that dark blue.

Thanks again. Keep it up :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I am sure frescoraja or I could later today, but you can do it yourself using UOT kitchen. It is very easy to use. I am a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, but I was able to figure it out. You can change the battery to whatever look you prefer and keep everything else the same including the kick ass toggles. Under the battery option there is one that is green the majority of the time until it get low and tuns red.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Thank you! Will give that a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frescoraja:
I posted the same one from my post in the other thread. I thought that mine included the colored notification icons that yours has (minus the big alarm clock icon, and maybe a couple of others).. But now that I won't be using the g2x, I am going to change the OP to include your icons.

what i do is really simple, first I use 7zip or winrar to extract the apks from the zip files. Then I use apk manager to "unzip" the apk's and then just replace the png files in the weaponX rom apk with the corresponding png files from m00nman's apks. Then you "zip" it back up in apk manager (leave the apk unsigned because they are system apps), and then i just paste the new apks over the old apks in your zip archive.

I just got an HTC sensation as a warranty exchange for my g2x, so I probably won't be updating these any more. I think you're more than capable, jcbofkc but let me know if you have any questions.

In case any one is interested, in many ways i regret getting the sensation (qHD display looks like ****E compared to g2x's lcd, and the thing lags like crazy compared to the snappy g2x), but i know i can always sell it and buy another g2x with cash left over. The main benefit to the sensation is the amount of roms to choose from, and the HTC amaze's camera app has been ported to the sensation. If LG announces plans to update the g2x to Ice cream sandwich, I'll be back in a heartbeat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Thanks frescoraja, I will keep the thread updated. Might even try a couple of other versions for those that want to keep their rom "as is" plus a little nicer status bar. I will see you again after the ICS update.;)

So I have .MOV video...and I have tried everything from "All video converter" to "Xillosoft"....all of them give me error half way through... Even youtube is giving me errors...I feel like something about the video is messed up. But I am able to play this video in QUICKTIME and VLC but in the middle of the video there is a 3 SECOND DURATION where it just gives me blue screen and flickring...this is probably the problem...

Now I think the only option is to record my screen using some GOOD PROGRAM and play the video....THIS VIDEO I HAVE IS 1080P @ 30fps GREAT MUSIC VIDEO

So anyone has any suggestion on a screen//desktop recorder that can record at equally good quALITY.....please help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aratheba:
I've just bought the Galaxy Note (wonderful indeed!) and the lockscreen doesn't have the lower end shortcut to 4 different apps, as I saw in some video previews last month.

It was something very similar to HTC sense 3.0 to be clear. I have version JK4, did Samsung remove it in my version not to have any issue with HTC?!

Anyone else owning the GN can confirm the lockscreen has only the meteo widget and nothing more?! Anyone with the previous JK1 version can confirm the lockscreen had the shortcut feature??

I do really hope someone can extract it from the older firmware version, it would be great!

It was a very useful feature! :cool:

UPDATE: I saw in the video I wrote you about that the firmware version having the lockscreen shortcuts was an old JHA! I do really hope someone can dump it in order to extract the lockscreen! :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LaroCroft:
I was just wondering about the same issue and I wanted to open my own thread for this as I see yours.

Maybe you should rename the thread title in "Starting apps from lockscreen" or something like that?

I really want to have these shotcuts on my homescreen to as I am changing from HTC Desire HD an I really miss the possibility to start application right there.

Of course I could use widget locker and something like that but I would prefer to have the original lockscreen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I don't have the note yet (soon!), but I am pretty sure the lockscreen with the icons is only an Ice cream sandwich thing.

I have not seen any videos that mention this in the stock Note, nor does the manual mention it.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
don't know if this will help or not, but doesn't Widgetlocker work on the note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
That's different.

Yes, you can put app icons and allow them to work.

But the advantage of the ICS method is that it is almost impossible for you to accidentally activate anything if you are say, trying to find your keys. I use widgetlocker but I disable interactions so I don't accidentally, say, call someone.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
You can create multiple application sliders with Widgetlocker, too. It's not as elegant as the ICS or Sense implementations, but it does the same thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aratheba:
I'm talking about some previews I saw during Ifa back in September. It couldn't be icebreaker sandwich for sure, even because the os shown during those preview was gingerbread 2.3.5

Just look on you tube for galaxy note preview made at Ifa by, for instance, HdBlog and you'll know what I mean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Donolaz:
I got my Note a couple of days ago. I'm very happy with it: superb screen, as smooth as my SGS2, a lot more portable than expected :)

I also immediately noted the absence of these app shortcuts on the lock screen, and after trying every option in Touchwiz this feature seems indeed to have been removed in this version (N7000XXKJ4).

Has anyone tried to run the leaked KJ1 ROM, to see if it's activated there? Or did Samsung remove this utility indefinitely for patent-related reasons?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] walda:
Look at beta of go locker. Ics style but still beta.

sent from my Galaxy Note via T*patalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aratheba:
Of course I know about go l know about go locare or widget locker but I'd rather have the default system lockscreen already with shortcuts indeed! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aratheba:
I modified the starting post: the version having lockscreen shortcuts is JHA
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbfoto:
Now I could be totally wrong here, but this is what I saw on the Tech News Today (TNT) video podcast.

Apple won a court case concerning a patent they have for the lock screen gesture/swipe action. Basically, they have a patent on the gesture for the lock screen where you start at a specific point "A" and swipe to another specific point "B"! So any other manufacturer or OS cannot have a gesture to unlock the screen where your finger has to Start at a specific point on the screen, and then End at another constant point on the screen, such as the way the iPhone unlocks.

That is why you now have to start (or place) your finger ANYWHERE on the screen, and drag or swipe to any arbitrary area on the screen to unlock it. There can't be any point 'A' to point 'B' gesture or swipe because it violates Apple's patent. :(

Notice that AFAIK it has only been the Manufacturer's Skins or UI/UX's that have implemented these gestures...e.g. Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, etc.

I'm not sure, but I think that Apple's case was only against Samsung and "Touchwiz", so Google & its pure Android & ICS as well as HTC may be safe from this (for the time being)! In fact, I think this is the reason for the new lock screen gestures, and Face Unlock, in ICS!

Check out Tech News Today Video Podcast #358 starting at 22:50, or search on www.9to5mac.com

So just be aware that if you download any upcoming Stock or OTA manufacturer UX, Gingerbread, or even Froyo updates, you may lose your precious lockscreen shortcut gestures!!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy0x2A:
Hi.

My brother dropped his phone in the water. After letting it dry in rice for a few days, we tried to turn it on. All we see is the I896 SAMSUNG logo. It does not get past this logo screen. adb does not list it when we connect it to my computer. I know that it is most likely dead, but the fact that we get that logo is promising to me.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it to work? What is the key combo to get into recovery mode (if possible)

Thanks,

Andy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Where do people get this rice idea?

Remove the battery

Drown the device in 90% rubbing alcohol

Disassemble

Dry with a hair dryer.

Putting it in rice takes days upon days to work. My method takes 30 minutes.

[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
official support

After some requests and promises that it works on virtually all ROM's for this device, I've added official support.

HERE IS THE NEW RELEASE POST, which is found on all other officially supported devices. Have a read if you like.

NEW VERSION(S) OUT!

v2.2 is updated. There were bad ZIP links for which I apologize for. Further, I added some new BUILDS. These builds can work on all phones no matter what your manufacturer is. However, some manufacturers provide SUPL data for their hardware. I'm helping you take advantage of multiple SUPL SERVER providers.

v3.0 is here! What does this mean for you?

I provide you with my very own xtra.bin file. This has led to some beta-testers having INSTANT locks. I can't promise that, but it works wonderfully for all testers except one person in China.

Guess what!

It costs me money to provide this.

Donations would be welcome to cover hosting fees should this work for you.

What's next for the 3.x trunk?

You should see v3.1 in a matters of weeks depending on reported success of v3.0. I intend to create my own NTP servers and NTP pools. This may cost a few dollars a month, but should be worth it for all of us.

Other flashing recoveries may be supported. Right now, I'm only providing for Clockwork Recovery. But, there are two other easy installation methods available aside from CWR in Method #3.

I've added more notes. Read them if you have issues before posting.

I've added more information to Method 2 installations.

Finally, click thanks on this POST if you truly enjoy and appreciate the work! ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] harpss1ngh:
Guys,

I've been testing this patch for our good friend here over the last few months and let me tell you it really works and it works so well!

Just today I was driving somewhere new looking for a Hospital and lost my way and I just fired up the standard Google Maps/Navigation app and in less than 2 seconds the GPS locked on and I knew exactly where I was going!

Also using the GPS Status app from the Market I get around 7-12 satellites locked on and usually between 8-10m error and sometimes even 4m error, depending on the location! I have also managed to get GPS locked indoors in places even my TomTom can't reach!

Give it a go guys and provide feedback! Remember - when you run an app that uses the GPS the first time you run it, it can take longer to lock on but then after that it should start locking on within seconds!

Also,

I've tested this on all the current GSM ROM's and Radios and it works just as well on each! I'm currently running MDJ's Virtuous Shooter ROM and the 10.59.9020_00U_10.15.9020.06_M Radio.

will this fix it?
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
Ought to...if I understand your situation properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] runeazn:
That rdnt MAC much sense.

I meant that when i update my current location it shows my last update location
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
Can you explain this further?

1. Did you install this patch?

2. Did you read the notes?

3. Did you try without a case?

4. Is this just one app, or multiple apps, with the issue?

Give me details to work from.
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
Crypted. Is it really necessary to mount the system parition in cmw if the phone is s-offed. Don't really see why that is needed since it is a flashable zip file
[HTC EVO 3D] runeazn:
that was before flashing.

ill test it out somewhere in the future, this "bug" only happened when i traveled long distances.
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
It depends on how your phone is setup. I had some people who didn't have root enabled by default and I spent countless time trying to figure out their issues, only to ask a question I thought silly... So for sake of that, I tossed in the part about ensuring you can read/write as ROOT on system for Method #2.

Ah, okay! Lemme know.
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
I just added a new flashable ZIP to both current versions. Some users are reporting issues flashing with CWM on the X8.

Thanks eagleeyetom for your help as always!

I placed this update on all threads so others who may not have had flash success can try it out. Feel free to send me a private message with what recovery app and version you're using, the phone model involved, and whether flashing anything worked.

Method 1 seems to be the best bet for anyone without flashable abilities with these ZIPs. It's a quick adb push script...

v3.1 is still in the works I promise. As stated previously, it'll be a bit longer before I get it out to the public. I hope to have my beta testing community trying it out in a week or so.

Again, v3.0 has all gps.conf variables grouped into sections with small discussion on what they are for. I'll try and replicate this into the v2.2 ZIP files in the near future.
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
Just thought I'd post an update. The Notes section has been revamped, added, and the Notes / Still Having Problems sections have been consolidated.

I considered adding checksums to the thread. But, I really don't see the need. If people prefer not to trust this, heck with 'em. They can pay $300 for a good standalone GPS unit.

3.1 is still on track.
[HTC EVO 3D] kin24173493:
Can I still use fasterfix for changing the ntp server?
[HTC EVO 3D] harpss1ngh:
No there's no need. The point of this fix is not to use anything else to make changes to the GPS, it just works fine by itself. I do not recommend using Faster fix, it screws the GPS up again. The NTP server in the fix is not the same as the one provided in the stock ROM. Changing the NTP server will screw up the fix or make it less effective. I had much better results not touching any of the settings.

Just flash it and use GPS Status to let the aGPS learn. That's it.
[HTC EVO 3D] kin24173493:
i can only found max. 9/9 satellites in the open wide area.
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
And this is bad? Hong Kong is notorious for tall buildings obstructing orbital view. I'd say you're doing okay?
[HTC EVO 3D] harpss1ngh:
"Only"? 9/9 is very good, a lot of people are lucky to get 5 let alone 9!
[HTC EVO 3D] crypted:
Version 3.1 is released. If you didn't think it could get any faster, well you may be surprised. Beta-testers are swearing to instant locks. My magic tricks sure do pay off!

Pay off? Speaking of that... There have been 30,000 downloads of v3.0. My server has served over 100,000 xtra.bin downloads. And even though I stated that this costs me money to provide,

there's been zero donations

since v3.0 was released. A few bucks really can help defray the hosting and provisioning costs I incur to keep y'all running top notch. If each user gave $0.10, that would be worth a whole dediated server for a year. Just sayin'.

Devs: I request that you notate your threads with which version of my patch you're using. If you include v3.x, please note the cost to your user base. Send me a message if you're using the patch so I can keep track and keep you in the loop of any impending changes.

With that, let me know how well this performs for you. I'm interested whether users see an increase in performance over the amazing speed that v3.0 provided.
