Can anybody help put me on the right track? I'm trying to find information on location/storage/source code/replacement for the boot logo? i'm not looking for boot animation info, just the logo (in the case of my phone, just says 'google')

I've spent the better part of today searching the xda forums and caverns :D, and spent time trying to dig through the sourcecode for my answer, but no leads yet, maybe someone who knows better could enlighten me. I imagined looking at the source would get me there faster, but i can't seem to find anything

i knew how to do this on my og droid (sbf)

Thanks ahead for any leads

----------

-logos are in 565 rgb format converted to RLE

----------

1/4/12 - on hold until i learn more how the gnex bootloader works. been out of coding/computers for so long have a lot to catch up on and learn

----------

1/19/12 - filename "/initlogo.rle", is packed into ramdisk boot.img - i know nothing about this yet, gonna start reading tonight. although if it were that simple, i'm surprised kernel devs haven't introduced their own yet

Any luck on actually getting the Galaxy Nexus boot logo changed? I cannot find one topic anywhere that addresses this other than this post, and it switched to a Xoom topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
i have had no luck. only thing i can find out so far, is the filename is "initlogo.rle", and its stored in the boot.img ramdisk, which i have no clue how to unpack, etc. yet. gonna start reading.

if you find anything please share. i feel there are some dev's reading this chuckling at the newbs : )

Hey guys first topic on this forum hope i posted in the right area.

I recently brought a unlocked Nexus S (9023) and downloaded the official 4.0.3 update manually from google and copied to internal hard drive and installed it.

I really dont like the new android version it is laggy and is draining the battery rapidly!

I have tried to re install 2.3.6 but cant because when I try to boot into recovery it fails showing a dead android figure??.

Please help!!!!

Hello, Everyone.

I am just sharing my UC-Kernel Boot Screens! Please hit thanks if you like them :)

Instructions on how to put on your phone at the bottom. Credits to some guy in zedge that uploaded this wallpaper, i just did minor photoshopping.

From akashsgpogi

First, you have to have UC-Kernel on your phone. Do not flash anything below if you are on different kernel.

UC-Kernel can be found here.

Read below on "how to have your own custom boot logo"

Tips:

1. its /mnt/.lfs/ not /mnt/.ifs/

2. You can use the move command in terminal emulator since .lfs is hidden

3. Save any .jpg to sdcard as "logo.jpg"

4. mv /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg

5. Once logo.jpg is in .lfs, it seems it cannot be overwritten, you need to flash the modification again if you want to change boot screens.

:)

To change bootlogo again without flashing,

Delete the file /data/local/tmp/uckernelbootlogo

Reboot (a few times, till stock boot logo is pushed by kernel)

Then place the new boot logo.jpg to /mnt/.lfs/

Reboot

are you trying to do this on cm7 like me? if so, it's a bit of work to do it 'cause you have to flash other fw to do this and go back to cm7. if you're not, are you flashing the "extra" cfroot from the universal thread? if so, are you getting the image noise like you're supposed to?

I want to convert my Canadian Galaxy Nexus, which is YAKJUUX to YAKJUU.

It currently has the following specs:

I have been reading contradicting posts, one talking about using ODIN the other talking about fastboot.

I downloaded the images from Google as listed. But they talk about a seperate file for boatloader, radio etc. But the file in the google archive is ONE file.

Anyone who has a Canadian phone, please help me out.

Hi All,

I own a Motorola Defy. I am kind of new to android developement. i had 2.2 on my phone and wanted to upgrade, followed all the steps available online for cyanogen 7.1, liquid arc, etc. with all the ROM's i had the same problem. Everything goes fine, until i reboot my phone. The moment i do that after installing new ROM. I loose network connectivity and a pop up msg comes up continously saying android.phone.com stopped responding. From there i have to do the complete wipe once again. i read in some forum about flashing radio, however i dont see this option in my recovery mode at all.

Anybody who knows how to resolve this????????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JmanJavaDroid:
I looked this up in the forums. This applies to going from 2.1 to 2.2, but sounds like it may help you. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947578
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JadhavN:
Thank you for the reply.

However, I was already running Froyo on my defy. I can also go back to that via RSD or by restoring it to the ROM i backedup before i started this testing. My concern is why i am not able to Install this custom ROM and make it working when all others can do it without any issues. I am still running Cyanogen nightly ROM (2.3.7). I also know the moment i restart my phone it will loose network connectivity and will keep getting those pop msgs. Is there a way to curb that.

Appreciate the help... :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gromdroid:
You can look for MIUI for the defy. I have also MIUI on my Defy and it works perfect
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JadhavN:
Thanks for your reply....

I was missing the defy baseband update. Thank fully that fixed the network connectivity issue. Now i am running ICS 4.0.1 perfectly. Except the camera everything is working smooth. Had little issue with restore from Titanum backup. But an unregistered version of TB fixed it.

Wonderful indeed but I am sad and terribly disappointed that Lee did not implement my desired solution.... I want hard buttons on all 4 sides of the Flyer and on the back too, so when I rotate it, they can change colors and make me giggle......

I want them larger and flashing randomly and rotatable 359 degrees.

I am so upset I might revert back to Froyo......

Happy New Years:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
Don't forget the hoverboard feature;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Lee, when you patch the hard buttons back into HC, could you make them larger, put them on all 4 sides of the screen and make the colors like this please

Home: Green, Menu : Purple Back: Black: Pen: Alternating Red / Yellow / Orange /Cyan

I would really find that much more convenient +1 +1 +1

And if you do not , I will revert to Froyo and you will be sad... very sad to see me go.

But if you do and you make me happy, I will send you an Ice Cream Sandwich ...

Thanks so much

Hugs and Kisses

Happy New Year

I am getting the Nexus S 4g in the next couple of days and have been very curious as to the NFC feature. Outside of the advertised features, I was wondering what else you could use it for?

One thing that jumped to mind was possibly using it to replace an RFID card, assuming they are compatible. Has any one tried to do anything like this before? I did some searching and couldn't find any information on this.
[Nexus S General] praveenmarkandu:
i think this is possible. for example an access card for a office. you would have to place your nexus on the access card writer that admin uses to write to its normal RFID cards.

you cannot however clone a card via a nexus NFC capability.

i am not sure if you can actually substitute your stored credit (i.e. public transportation cards) with a nexus. probably not.

I just got an Arduino ADK for christmas.

I followed the guide located here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html which ran me through installing libraries and uploading the default ADK DemoKit firmware to the ADK device.Then I opened the DemoKit project in eclipse and uploaded it to my Android device.

My Android is a Samsung Captivate running Android 4.0

root@android:/datadata/com.teslacoilsw.quicksshd/home # uname -a
Linux localhost 3.0.8-FuguMod #Fugu@Onecosmic PREEMPT Wed Dec 21 16:28:17 ART 2011 armv7l unknown

With the kernel being higher than version 2.6, the ADK should work from what I've read.

I modified the sketch to notify when ADK is connnected

if (acc.isConnected()) {
Serial.print("hi");

When monitoring Serial output from the Arduino ADK, I only see this notification which is generated upon startup naturally:

Start
