The I/O performance is due to how the partitions are mounted. Most are done in a way that increases reliability and logging with the trade off of it doing worse on benchmarks, while others are the opposite. It shouldn't really effect anything other than benchmark scores either way.

i just noticed that the Skyrocket doesn't have a dock mode that i can see...am i missing something?

i'm running the Super Stock rom, but all of the documentation i've read so far doesn't seem to indicate the Skyrocket has a Dock Mode on any flavor, stock or otherwise...

can anyone point to any tutorial in making a backup? having a hard time looking.. or can anyone explain.. :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] szuladam:
i learnt it just now how to do that. beacuse i didnt find any step by step for it.

so:

1click here and download the exe file from the first comment.

2 enable usb debugging and connect your phone to cumputer

3 than start the dowloaded wfs managger.exe

4, type 1 (root and install recovery)

5, w8 until it finish (about 3-5 min), turn off your phone (but first u need to disenable fast boot) and push vol down + power button

6 from now its very easy, just follow this movie

i hope this is waht u looking for :)

hi all,

I have followed MikeyCiggz's post:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233154&page=2, thanks MIkeyCiggz first!

But I cannot find a suitable bootable recovery image for evo 3d:-(. I have tried twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, twrp 2.0, it seemed that twrp image file is not bootable. I have tried:

dd if=./twrp-1.1.1.img of=/dev/mmcblk01 bs=1M

but the sd card it not bootable.

I have searched google but find nothing...so anyone can give any hints that where can I download the bootable recovery image, both twrp and cwm is ok. thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
I don't have the answer to your question but, I don't think you should put ./ in the if= section. Your not executing the file.
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
./ means the current directory, ./twrp-1.1.1.img means twrp-1.1.1.img in the current directory
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
Anyone tried twrp 2.0 with bootable sdcard? please share your success story, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Never heard of copying the recovery image directly onto the sdcard and then booting off of it.

As my understanding of the boot process goes, recovery mode will only load the recovery image for the specific recovery partition. Recovery mode doesn't search the device for recovery images in any random partition.

The link you provided had no directions or evidence to support it being possible. Perhap if there is more information on this process, it might seem more feasible.

hope that helps! good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] subaochen:
I think a bootable recovery sdcard maybe the same as the command:

fastboot boot recovery.img

the above command should boot into recovery despite of the recovery partition on the inner storage of the phone. Is that right?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
The above command will send the recovery.img located on the host computer, through the host computer's fastboot binary and USB connection to the device which is also in fastboot mode and will then temporarly booted into the transferred recovery image on the device.

Never heard of fastboot boot a full sdcard?

Not sure how that deals with sdcard ..

Step 1 :

Place the files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin

Make sure these files have execute permission (-rwxr-xr-x)

Step 2 :

Place "sanim.zip" in /system/media

This file contains the boot animation. You can use bootanimation.zip file from other threads but they should be renamed to sanim.zip to work properly.

ex thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053250

Step 3 :

Remove "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media

As a standard good practice, you can keep a backup of these files somewhere on your sdcard/pc.

Step 4 :

Reboot and enjoy ! :D

Note : This works on my Samsung Galaxy R with 2.3.5 stock rom.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
That's when you don't copy the right sanim.zip to your system/media/ folder.

First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) THIS file must be renamed to sanim.zip and copied to your /system/media. IT must work if you followed other steps above. I'm pretty sure it works on every FW!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] zerocool_rkl:
In my phone there is no bootanimation.zip . There are some bootanimation.omg files. I googled them up an found that they r samsung's propitory format.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Dude...read tutorial and that what I wrote one more time. Nobody said you have bootanimation.zip on your phone. Guide works like a charm!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] zerocool_rkl:
"find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local."

Told by you
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Then you should cite the whole sentence :)

" First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) "

I was talking about one of the custom boot animations package ( that can be found e.g. here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053250 ) even localization I mentioned concerns the .zip file not the system folder of your device.

Of course we don't have bootanimation.zip in our stock, we have sanim.zip instead. Which is written in OP's tutorial above.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KitsumiMaru:
LOL Kochan - this guy ain't getting it.... maybe he should just download 'ROM Toolbox' and change the boot anim's from there.....much simpler for the newbies :D

No offence meant at all, sometimes it's just easier to have a program do these things for you ^.^
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gumsle:
Change boot animation ardatdat 1.6

Can't figure it out, it doesnt work - no way. Followed the Tutorial exactly and tried different things. Finally i tried the sanim.zip from the first post in this thread. Black bootscreen but with the crappy Samsung sound :mad: :mad: :mad:

Firmware is stock XWKJ4, with ardatdat kernel 1.6

Could the kernel be the problem??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Of course it works. I've used XWLA4 as well. Worked like a charm. It has nothing to do with kernel.

1) Have you downloaded packages, extracted (custom booting.zip )and replaced stock "samsungani" and "bootanimation" (in /system/bin) with those u got from package?

2)Have you removed "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media?

3) Have you found a proper bootanimation.zip, renamed it to sanim.zip an placed in /system/media?

If you accomplished all steps above...your bootanimation.zip (sanim.zip) must be corrupted. Remember it's NOT a flashable package.! If you found somewhere a flashable version (it works only on AOSP/AOKP/CM roms) it must be extracted and then the right file must be copied to /system/media.

And one more thing. Bootanimation has nothing to do with bootsound. Wanna change bootsound, go to /system/etc and replace PowerOn.wav (this stands for bootsound), 1_Power_on.ogg (if you ignore this you won't be able to switch bootsound on/of together with setting you phone profile silent/normal) with your preferred ones.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
You have to remove samsungani , then place bootanimation.zip

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gumsle:
@m.kochan10

1. yes

2. yes, but there is also a file called "odeanim.qmg". Do you know what this is?

3. after fiddling around with my own files did`nt work i finally downloaded the sanim.zip from the first post here. I did not touch it and put it to system/media. No success! Of course my own animation also did not work. Tried to generate the animation with this Boot Animation Creator from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1234611. No success!

:(

So there is no bootscreen now, i only see the Samsung GalaxyR letters then straight to homescreen. Thanks for the tip with the bootsound. Thats going to be the next i try. But first i need to change the animation.

Few questions:

a. does it matter if i take jpeg or png?

b. the pics of the animation need to have the resolution of my screen, right? 480x800

c. or do smaller pics just show up in the middle of the screen?

Thanks 4 helping!:o
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
2. Leave odeanim.qmg alone ;) It won't help you by any means.

3. I attached a working sanim.zip just push it with root explorer to /system/media and reboot. We'll see if it work.

I'm sorry I cannot help you with your questions about creating bootanimation files. It's not my field (yet ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gumsle:
I give up!

-tried your sanim.zip - nothing.

-downloaded Custom Booting.zip again, unpacked it this time with Winrar instead of 7zip and copied them to system/bin (checked permissions-ok) - nothing.

There are not so many chances to f**ck this up but still it does`nt work.

Running out of ideas what to try out anyway. :confused:

So i just wait and hope for ICS, CM7, CM9 or whatsoever and give it another try then.

Where is the thread where i can ask for ETA of these roms? :D

(just joking...)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I don't own the device so I cannot verify what goes wrong.

In worst case, since you've got nothing to lose, you may try to flash (sometimes you will have to flash several times - i don't know why, but I remember that sometimes I had to do it 8 times in a row before I managed to change a boot animation, you may even try wipe cache/dalvik cache) these zips:

a) Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D - Boot animation (I cannot promise it will work with first flash, but try few more times, it should work)

http://www.mediafire.com/?3kodfmmaxm1le3u

c) Stock One (If you totally give up and wish to revert to stock; same here)

http://www.mediafire.com/?jh76pi7fj6pmr2z

DO NOT EXTRACT: THEY ARE FLASHABLE via CWM!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gumsle:
Since Stock One was no option at all to me: Flashed the Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D once with with wiping cache and dalvik - works perfekt! Gonna try to change it to my own animation soon.

cheers man...

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Will this work on stock kernel??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
this method is for Stock ROM only, so try it should work flawless with stock kernel also....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
That works like a charm man....thanks to thee...:D:D:D

This is the best way to go about changing your stock boot animation I must say. Let me add a few points of caution though:

1. Backup the following files:

A."samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin(and note down their stock permissions) before overwriting them with the new ones.

B."bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media before you delete them. In case anything goes wrong you can still get back to stock things:p

2. Change permissions of "samsungani" and "bootanimation" that you copy in /system/bin to (-rwxr-xr-x) as mentioned. I'm telling this because not many will bother to check the permissions.

3. Finally rename the bootanimation.zip file to sanim.zip only before you paste it in /system/media. Make sure that sanim.zip contains only part0, part1 folders and a desc file.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] HippoMan:
This doesn't work on a number of other Samsung devices, because the compiled bootanimation program in this bundle refers to non-existent shared libraries on certain devices. Here's how to check if that's the case on your system:

1. Install the bootanimation file from this package into /system/bin/bootanimation.test

2. Make sure it has 755 permissions (rwxr-xr-x).

3. Use a terminal emulator program to go into su, and then navigate to /system/bin

3. Issue this command:

./bootanimation.test

4. If you see any errors referring to "reloc_library" which end with "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE", then this bootanimation executable will not work, because it refers to one or more non-existent shared libraries on your device.

Suggestion: relink this new bootanimation executable as a static binary and resubmit it here. This will ensure that it doesn't try to run any shared libraries on the current device. I don't know if this kind of static linking is possible under Android, although it's a technique that often works to solve these kinds of problems under Unix/Linux.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Another issue with this method:

On my phone (Galaxy S Relay 4G) and probably also on other Samsung devices, the system overwrites /system/bin/samsungani with the original version upon every reboot. This prevents the altered samsungani executable from running.

Thank you very much! But will Ardatdat's kernel (mentioned in that thread) work with a rooted Galaxy S Relay 4G (T699)? This is a newly released phone, and I don't want to brick it with an incompatible kernel.

... or is Ardatdat's kernel not an essential part of this process?

PS: there is now a confirmation in that thread that Ardatdat's kernel will indeed not work on the T699. I think I'm just going to have to wait for a custom ROM for this device.

Be aware that if you install this app and setup the visual voicemail, it will take quite a bit of work to get it reversed back to normal. I liked the idea of having visual voicemail but I get too many sms messages daily and there's no way to avoid having this app notify you each time in addition to your main sms app (GO SMS being mine).

I've called AT&T 3 times tonight and I'm awaiting a call back after the lady I spoke to said she's contacting her upper level support. None of the 3 reps I spoke with had any clue about this app.

I've fully uninstalled the app and now it reverts back to a 'Please enter the mailbox number' message when calling to get my VMs.

[EDIT] And like magic, as soon as I posted this, the rep called me back. She was quite helpful and they removed the VM service or whatever that this app setup and put my basic voicemail service back on. They need to allow the reps you first contact to do this. So I'm a happy camper again but it was still more trouble than it should have been.

Proceed with caution...

Hello All. Its me again. This time I bring you a long awaited solution. I'm sure you can remember changing your LCD density and then going to install an app which has always worked only to find that the market says its incompatible with your device. Well wait no more, This little hack will make you able to set any density and not be limited in the market.

EDIT: NOW A FLASHABLE ZIP

Process:

Download the zip and flash in recovery. (MOUNT SYSTEM FIRST)

/system/bin/density (YOUR DESIRED DENSITY)
reboot

Thats it. With every boot, the init.d script spawns the marketdensity script and it waits 45 seconds for boot to complete... Then it swaps the build.props so the market sees the correct one.

Have fun changing your density and not being limited.

Wanna help pay my bills???? Consider Donating:)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atc3030:
Yes you can do root explorer. Idk the perms they need through that but if you use chmod in terminal, the perms are 775

It worked this time mounting system like I should have, lol.

But where do I enter the density? In place of the $1?

Gonna try this out

m.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emmdub:
No Joy.

Out of the box, the density script wasn't running, failing on the mount command.

I made a few changes to get it to run:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "Setting Density to $1"
# mount only runs as root, so execute 'su' before 'mount'
su
# mount was failing without specifying the device
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system
sed "s/^ro\.sf\.lcd_density=.*/ro.sf.lcd_density=$1/" /system/build.prop > /system/.build.prop.hack
# not sure if this next mount is needed, but it makes sense to me to remount as ro once we've made the changes
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system
exit

After those changes, I was finally able to run density, and it does everything its supposed to, ie it creates /system/.build.prop.hack and the density is set to what I want there.

However, when I reboot, the changes are not applied. I'm guessing that the 98density init.d script is not being called.

I'm running a Telus SGH-T989 with Juggernaut 4.1 ROM.

Any thoughts on how to get this last piece to fall into place?

Clever idea btw, we really need something like this (:

Question: the 98density file in init.d is it suppose to be 755? cause all the other files in init.d are like so

I'm getting an sed:command not found. To fix it I had to write:

Busybox sed etc ....

this also needs needs SU

--EDIT-- just noticed a user above me had similar tweaks I wrote below (now striked out).

BTW for the mounting.. I think it will have to depend on your device..I got mine to mount by

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system

which I believe is different per device. I'll try the script again by changing that part of the code

After all the changes and no error. after reboot nothing changed.

very excited though :)
