/system/bin/bootanimation is the program that actually displays the bootanimation.

Normally it plays the contents of /system/media/bootanimation.zip, but it can also be hardcoded to play a fixed animation or designed to play a completely different format. (Such as on Samsung devices, where it only plays Samsung's QMG format until you replace the program.)

Here is a file of some interest, it it looks to be encrypted because it would be of interest.

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

.p files are encrypted .m files. Not sure if anything exists out there to crack into that one, but I am sure it would tell some very interesting information and possibly allow hi-jacking the factory restore process?

Anyone familiar with .p files (pcode files) ?

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Also of interest are some .xem3 files under /system/lib/ducati

base_image_app_m3.xem3 --- 57 mb

base_image_sys_m3.xem3 --- 1.5 mb

I think could be system image files possibly from the little bit of research I have done. Due to the size of one of these (57 mb) and the name of the file, I was thinking maybe this is where the restore was getting it's base image from, but until I dig further I am not sure of that. The size of the file is what got my attention, much larger than other files in lib. That's half the size of CM7 in just one file.

Edit: These now look to be possibly drivers/firmware/images for Ducati and/or Pandaboard ? That's a large driver file....

The .p file is very much of interest I would think.

It looks like the normal XML files are not controlling the layout and it is done through the smali files to get the custom actions and layout. A separate app to access development may be best for now, as we have been doing.

Unless someone edits the smali files of course, that's possible but will prove tedious and time consuming unless you have a lot of experience with these.

If you review the logcats from going into settings, you will see which smali files are involved.

How-to

1. Get root

2. Run terminal (enter su if symbol $ -> it will be changed to #)

3. Execute command mount

4. From list of partitions search for /system

Example: /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /system ext4 ro,relatime

5. Dump it to sdcard with command dd

Example: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/sdcard/system.img

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gojimi:
Just so you guys know and if you wanted to try and play with any of it..... though I recommend only experienced devs do atm..... the bootanimation is actually contained inside the framework-res.apk file in system/framework. This is a quite common practice for Android devices though most use the .zip file calls that we are used too there is usually a fall back basic animation inside framework-res.apk in its assets/images folder..... well on the nook inside its framework-res.apk there is another folder assets/images/nookcol_512 which contains all the PNGs for the main boot animation. So at this point changing that animation will require decompiling and recompiling the framework-res.apk.

based on what I could gather by hexediting the bootanimation binary it acts like most other devices where it looks for data/local/bootanimation.zip first then failing that it goes to system/media/bootanimation.zip if that isn't there then it loads images from the framework-res.apk.... and in this case it looks for those in the nookcol_512 folder.

Hope that helps you guys!

next on, i wanna know what else i should customize, like what are the best settings to optimize it even more (battery-wise and performance-wise)

also, what are the usual recommended apps/widgets for everyday use or apps with cool features ?

btw how can i limit internet access to my apps ? (like turn inet off or on)

thanks.

Hi..

Video - I use MoboPlayer. It plays most video formats flawlessly.

Music - You cannot go wrong with poweramp, althoug I use the stock music player of CM7. But poweramp has some nice features like showing album art in lock screen and many others.

PowerStrip - the default powerstrip in the notifications menu is rich, but if you need more then, you should explore Quicksettings .

Launcher - By default, CM7 comes with ADW, but I love GOLauncher. The screen transitions effects are awesome.Do try it out....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premaca:
For internet control of apps, you can use Droid Wall or LBE Privacy Gaurd. I use droid wall and is good. I have used CM7 for about a month then tried other ROMs like MIUI/WIUI/MS2G etc. Now I m on MS2G back since it has 720p recording capability and great battery backup. If you use phone, more or less every ROM eats the battery same way, but the standby time each ROM consumes battery differently which makes the difference. I found ROMs based of CM7 consume 1% for every 35-40min but MS2G consumes 1% for every 2.5-3 hours. I use LG camera app with 13-20Mbit/sec rate for 720p recording and the video quality is jut good.

Use Titanium backup and freeze moto services. You may give a try and see with MS2G 720p capability you can enjoy for some time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
I'm sending duplicate texts every time I reboot the Skyrocket. There's no record on my phone that I sent them, but one or more of my latest texts go out again as soon as I re-boot. I figured out the culprit is the Motorola app "My Motospeak". Uninstall the app and problem gone. Seems like that's the answer, but I REALLY like the app. If I get a text, I'm asked if I'd like to listen to it, then after it asks if I want to respond, by voice recognition of course. It all happens totally hands free. It seems like It's got better voice recognition that Google Voice Actions too...

This problem did not exist on my inspire with the same app.

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this, or another app that works the same?

Thanks!!!!

So, I rooted my NT, got gApps installed and tried to use Titanium Backup to transfer all my apps from my NC to NT. However, some apps they just didn't restore at all, I mean, the screen became frozen. Anyone experienced the same thing?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
I am very surprised that worked at all.

You are talking a different processor, different display resolution, and different storage layout.

If the app has cached any details about the hardware, it is going to wind up very confused...

Do folks normally use Titanium Backup to transfer apps from one Android phone family to a different one?

Yes we do. All the time. I don't repay for apps I already bought.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
Why would you ever have to repay for an app? Unless you are using a different google account.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
When you brick your phone and flash back to stock and then a new rom, you lose your apps. Other than TiB, how do you get them back? Please don't say android market backup/restore, it sucks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] goldiefish:
Well, yeah, the restore sucks, if you can even call it a restore. But you don't have to pay for the apps you've already paid for...as long as you're using the same google account the market knows you already paid.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I'm guessing it's because sometimes some apps aren't available for a different device.

In my case, I couldn't find "TuneIn radio" for my NT in either google market or amazon appstore for install. It's normally in those markets, but not when looking for it on my NT.

So I pulled the apk (free version, btw) from my phone with ES file explorer. And side loaded it on to the NT.

That's totally proprietary. The phone that that is made for probably doesn't even have a 3.5mm jack.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Prankey:
Well.. sorry to be a troll. However, you started this thread conveniently assuming that Headphone output through MicroUSB port of Note will work? Its not an HTC phone which has headset support.

May I know the reason for your ASSUMPTION that it would work even if you get the cable?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Sjael:
Your best bet for a single plug into your phone would probably be to use an MHL>HDMI adapter, and then get another adapter to convert from HDMI audio to 3.5mm.

That would be rather clunky though. HDMI > Anything (that isn't DVI) converters are going to run you at least about $40 for a start, and they aren't small either (probably not much smaller than the phone itself :P .) And they are externally-powered, so you'd need to provide power to both the MHL dongle and the HDMI converter, so it'd be super untidy.

You could do it though. :rolleyes:

But you're probably better off using Bluetooth. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] biggy83:
My assumption comes from the fact that there is a "docking" option in the system settings of the Galaxy Note, meaning that there is support for docking stations and probably audio output for them.

I'm not saying that the Note is the only and first phone to have it, I'm just wondering if there are such cables out there and if such thing possible to be made through Micro USB.

I had an iPhone almost 2 years ago and such cable was available easily and it did really help in my car setup, and since the Note has the same slot setup of my old iPhone I would really like to know if a cable like that is somewhere out there. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gordonshowers:
Well, looking at this car docking station...

(Link not allowed. Search for "Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note Vehicle Dock - ECS-K1E1BEGSTD" on MobileFun)

...it clearly shows a "speaker line out" socket in one of the photos, with only one connector (i.e. the micro USB connector) attaching to the phone.

So it is most certainly possible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] berwhale:
Hmmm, the both the official desktop dock and car dock have a 3.5mm audio out. It seems unlikely that there would be a USB DAC in the docks themselves, which suggests that analogue audio is being piped out the microUSB port on the phone itself.

Of course, the OP could just buy the official car dock to get nice tidy cabling...

It is obviously possible as the destop & car dock do this.

The only way is, for someone with some electronics knowledge to pull one of these apart to see how its done. It would be interesting to see if it is straight audio out, or if there is a "Digital to Analogue Converter in there"

http://www.all4cellular.com/product/motorola-mini-to-micro-usb-adapter.html

OK, so I can't say it would work, and you might have to use your old G1 car charger to get power to the adapter, but for about $7us for both, I imagine it would be worth a try, and not *very* bulky.

I'm wondering if there are other mini-to-micro adapters that might be wired slightly differently (I had a bit of a time finding the right micro-to-composite video cable for my Vibrant when I got it, there were 3 different wirings).

Just an idea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jabab:

[General Questions and Answers] Suomalainen:
xdadevelopers,

I'd like to learn and understand the capabilities of NFC tags. Essentially these tags are containers for information. However, there are 4 varieties of tags that enable certain functionalities to occur.

I was under the understanding that some tags can contain o/s so that when "tapped" certain functionalities could occur.

For example, you go to the circus and at the circus there is a poster. You tap the tag and a "like" is placed on the Circus event Facebook page. Then a Mapquest email goes to your contacts showing how to get to the event and a Google Wallet coupon is sent to your Friends wallet because not enough people are attending the event.

So, can NFC trigger all this at once?

If anyone knows any other NFC forums other that "NFC forum" where such questions can be asked your input well be much appreciated.

Thanks
