1. make sure you have proper drivers

2. make sure you have adb for the command module

3. download bootanimation.zip

4. plug in your xoom

5. open up command module, type in cd C:\[file location of adb]

6. type in adb.exe

7. after you have activated adb, type 'adb devices' to make sure your device is connected.

8. type in the following codes

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local (this sends the file to the local folder, under the data folder of the device.)

adb reboot

if all has gone correctly, you should now have a shiny new boot animation :)

now for the splash animation, which is Xoom specific, just download Team Eos's splash flasher on the android market. just search for "eos splash". it's idiot proof
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mscott998:
how did you change the splash screen?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Cubanluke88:
By supporting Team EOS.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dokted:
Youcan also very easily just dl the zip, and use root explorer to put it in data/local
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mrlokoo:
how do you go back to stock?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mjamocha:
I sent mine in for the 4G LTE upgrade. I did the factory data reset, unrooted, relocked the boot loader, but I forgot to change the splash back. It's no big deal. I sent it in for the upgrade . They do not care about the boot splash. All they care about is the boot loader being relocked, the original sys images are back on the device, and that the Xoom is unrooted. They are going to wipe your device clean anyway, and restore the Factory Boot Splash when it's done. Factory data reset, unroot, lock the boot loader. Let it go. You can go from thread, to thread with the same question and this will be the answer you will get from others that have gotten the upgrade. If you are really bothered about it, use the EOS Xoom Boot Splash market link that was sent - Hope everything works out for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
If I use Dredz method of partitioning my SD card, do I still need to flash the DT a2sd? Or will my partition work just fine without it? Also, could someoen go into detail the difference, and maybe benefits of each? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
it depends if the rom comes with any type of a2sd(most roms do) then you shouldnt have to flash dta2sd with the rom. With dta2sd it gives you more features like you can move dalvik cache to sdcard,external,and cache. You can move all your apps back and forth from your ext to internal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
So with just dredz method, I can just move apps 2 sd, and nothing else?

Which I think thats All I will need. I am on warm 2.3 with low internal mem right now, so just trying to make some space.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
Warm 3.5 comes with cma2sd so you don't have to do anything. All you need is a partitioned sdcard and the Rom will do everything on its own
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Partitioning your card doesn't automagically give you the ability to move apps to the ext partition, you will need either a rom with the mod baked in or a script such as DTa2sd and terminal emulator to manage the ext partition

[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I used to use Handcent quite some time ago but found out that it was causing some problems with people receiving my messages and pictures. In addition, it started hanging and would generally slow down. Lastly I was told that it does not necessarily play nice with some other applications, namely LightFlow.

When I eventually put Eclipse on my DX2, I simply did not re-download Handcent and was just using the stock SMS until today, using CM7 and still, the stock SMS.

What does everyone else use, are there any decent alternatives to the stock SMS and if so, what makes it a better alternative?
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
All I've ever used is handcent, seems to be working nice for me, never used liteflow though.
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
I'm a huge fan of chompSMS. I've tried Handcent and GoSMS, but I always end up coming back to chomp. The only thing I wish they would add is the ability to multi-select message threads to delete, instead of having to do it one by one or deleting them all at once. I emailed them and suggested that and they responded that it was planned for an upcoming update, so maybe I'll get my wish.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
I use GOsms. Works great for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
/filler +1
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I have used Metro Messaging Beta for a while. It was when I was going through my WP7 phase. lol. I actually liked it though. It didnt have any cool features (it was actually very limited) but with how simple it was, it was nice to use. I have recently just gone back to the stock sms app though. I also use SMS Popup so when I get a message, I dont even have to open the sms app.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
I too, use GOsms. I like the customization and different themes it offers.

Just make sure to manually go into stock notifications and disable. Other wise you will get multi notifications at some point. It will ask you at setup to disable, but for some reason you will still have to manual disable through stock app.

You could always give it a go!
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
+ 1, exactly what I was going to say. Love the customization.

Sent from my CM7 ICS Themed Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I like the customization of Handcent better, can change a lot of things for individual contacts in handcent.

I just delete the SMS/mms apk in every ROM and put handcent in system/app
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
So I guess it's +++++++1 for GO SMS. I use GO SMS on mine.

:D

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
GoSMS here BUT the MMS sending on it is whack. I have it set up for 1.2 MB and preserve image resolution yet when I send a pic it'll degrade the picture image. This is for pics under 1.2MBs...
[Motorola Droid X2] lbroksle:
Any one use a different phone/call app besides the stock one?
[Motorola Droid X2] jwats1973:
GO SMS is what I use, I like how it pops up a window without you having to swipe notifications, and the overall customizability of it. As Elite49 said, you cant go over 1.2mb in size but it just let it shrink my photos to fit and it works just fine. Be sure to get all the plug in for it too, there are tons of themes and emotocons etc...
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Does yours degrade the pics when their not over 1.2MB? I find it extremely annoying seeing a pic thats under that somehow look like crap when I go to send it.
[Motorola Droid X2] helloterence:
Another vote for GO SMS here!
[Motorola Droid X2] jayfromtenn:
handcent is definatly the best imo. only one ive ever used on a rooted android
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
goSMS for me too!
[Motorola Droid X2] blackangel104:
Go SMS Pro!!!!!

When life sucks I just enjoy the head :)
[Motorola Droid X2] moparfreak426:
touchpal contacts. for answer to above q. and go sms is by far the best sms app out there
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Never had a reason to try anything but Gosms, it works, and you can make it look however you want. all i plan to ever use atm
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I've only ever used Handcent and Go sms. If I had to go back to one (I'm using the stock cm9 app) I'd choose Go Sms. The customization is fantastic!
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
Quick tip: Many of you may already use an app similar to this but if you download Mighty Text, you can type your messages in your browser while at your computer. Nice to whip out texts with your keyboard. I hate typing on the touchscreens.

GO SMS is coming out with a service similar to this in the near future. Or maybe it's already out?
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
Something that keeps me on ChompSMS is the ability to long press the search button (from any screen) to open a quick compose box. Is there any other sms app that can do that?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Wow that's a nice feature...I actually used Chomp for a week and the whole experience was horrific - texts sent to the wrong people, not receiving texts for a whole day and constant freeze ups. I was ready to eat my phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
Strange. I've used it across three phones (Droid, X2, and, now, my GNex) and have nothing but good things to say about it.
[Motorola Droid X2] taz1458:
I like Go SMS. Seem to have fewer duplicating messages coming through(none vs at least 5 a week vs handcent) I also like how much you can.customize with it. Strongly recommend that, even though handcent isn't too bad either.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mathiii:
I use handcent too. Quite happy with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] JStiner:
+1 for Go SMS

I like that I can import my wallpaper and make it all match, ebony hardwood floors.

-side bar. Is there a way to sync SMS from my Dx2 onto my tablet? (Samsung Galaxy tab wifi only) or text from my tab as my phone. I hope that makes sense.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Tablet Talk
[Motorola Droid X2] Drunkula:
Chomp is the only non-stock app I've used and I've had zero issues with it. I like it. Actually I had an issue but a minor one. I was making my own theme and had everything just about right except the background pic. Though I was using a perfectly good wallpaper file the background looked like crap. It was like zoomed in and real blurry. I emailed the developer to ask what the dimensions/resolution should be for good appearance. I got a response rather quickly. He told me to download FishBowl application from the market (free) and set the background in Chomp via FishBowl. Looks good!
[Motorola Droid X2] aditneh:
Run go sms on my dx2..nice..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frsg:
Hi all,

Since I use the browser for reading stuff in landscape mode alot, I miss the auto-hiding of address bar in IE9, something that doesn't happen anymore after Mango update (Samsung Omnia 7 here).

Is there any way to make it auto-hide or disable altogether again? I can't find it in options or settings anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] missaellpzchvz:
So I was looking through the developers site located HERE: http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra-250-tango-development-kits & found this;

"In certain power saving configurations, touching the screen or "Android buttons" at the top of the device is not adequate to wake the device. To work around this, try inserting or ejecting the SD Card to wake the device. Failing that, you will need to reset or power cycle the Tango. Alternatively, please set the screen timeout to 30 minutes (Menu->Settings->Display->Screen Timeout)."

Seems like the BSOD issues are in the 'Tango' version of the Tegra 2 processor & this (which was located in the Known Issues section) is Nvidia's solution. So I plan on testing this workaround (re-inserting micro SD) to see if this can replace a battery pull. As most of us know the other way of preventing BSOD is by setting the sleep mode to never & this seems to work for some & is recommended by Nvidia. So if you can give this a try, Plz let us know the results. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Does never sleep, effect batt life or conflict with set cpu?

Thanks for your informative post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
I just reboot my phone before I go to sleep. It's a lot easier and is more of a preventative option.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] missaellpzchvz:
No problem. Yes it could, depending on your settings for both SetCPU & how your charging your phone. The thing with setting your phone to not sleep while charging is that it's only a workaround so that if you charge your phone overnight your phone will have less probability of turning off during the night so that you won't suffering from the alarm never going off & or you having to battery pull. Charging overnight is never recommended for Lithium Ion Batteries but for some people its the only time they have to charge their phone and so this trick is useful to them. So unless you potentially need this then by all means use it but take notice of your SetCPU settings & how your charging your phone so that you don't have even more issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
set charging profile in SetCPU to 400-500Mhz
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacko147:
I was getting the SOD while charging quite frequently only after I rooted, not once did I get it before root. I did the never sleep trick about a week ago, no problems since, still have my fingers crossed, as this is my alarm clock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cguilford:
I just start the clock and put it in "Night mode" before I goto bed and never have any issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I set to never sleep and have not had a BSOD since, thank you. Now if I could just stop the random reboots. This phone is frustrating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] missaellpzchvz:
I can't really solve your random reboots but I can give you a suggestion. I recommend a complete reset of what ever rom your using (data, cache, clean system, ex: no themes, apps & or just a fresh install) then install one by one each app, unless you absolutely need an app, maybe an app install per day or every few hours, this is to pick out the app that might be the cause for random reboots. A fresh install might even solve your issues. Also, refrain from using titanium backup batch restore or even app data restore unless it's absolutely necessary (ex:game data, logins or settings you absolutely need). Lastly here are some apps that I have found that have created this reboot issue on my phone and that you may what to test first: seekdroid (or any app that request administrator permissions), large games (mostly games that rely on sdcard files to run), and system modification apps (apps that ask for superuser permissions & modify system data).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GALDIR:
thanks

Thank you very much for the information. Ill start testing 30minutes timeout now, this way locking the screen using the power button to save battery.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I have found on several occasions that the music on the "internal" drive is suddenly completely missing. Cannot explain it; obviously, can't "pull" the internal card, haven't flashed anything recently.

Anyone with a clue why this happens. I have had images periodically vanish from my EXTERNAL sdcard, too, but this seems to accompany pulling the card.

I've been switching batteries and I'm starting to wonder whether part of the internal RAM is not genuinely nonvolatile or something.

UPDATE: I believe I have figured this out, it's related to flashing a new recovery. See post #13 below.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Are you not seeing it in your music player library? Any chance you changed a setting for where it looks to see the music? I don't mean to insult you ;), I just ask because there was an issue before of dupes showing up in the music library and it was happening because of those settings.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I likewise would have asked that question first (Occam's razor and all that). No, I don't see it on mount to PC or in my file explorer (and I see everything else on the drive.) It's as if something went in there and wiped the directory.

Dumped into the innertubes from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
some PB98IMG.zip files will erase internal memory in install.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Are you just doing a battery pull or are you actually shutting the phone down before swapping batteries? I've had hard times with SD Cards(and flash memory in general) without shutting down the phone first. I know it's an extra few seconds but it may save your information.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Good point. I'm pretty sure I haven't pulled the battery ever when the device is on (except when completely crashed, which hasn't happened in a long time). I never used to pull the battery with the power on EXCEPT that once in a great while the phone boots normally when I was trying to get it to go to bootloader and I pull it as soon as I see the splash screen. I cannot tie any data loss to doing that (this stuff vanished after I flashed a new ROM with the 4-in-1 power menu enabling reboot to bootloader, obviating the need for a battery pull altogether; and I haven't had any crashes on the new ROM/kernel, and besides, all this stuff was there after the flashing).

Do you think in that moment internal memory would be affected in such a selective way?
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
What he said. Installing a new kernel will cause the internal sd card to get erased, so if you are installing a ROM that requires a new kernel, that would explain the vanishing trick you are seeing.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I haven't installed a kernel yet that touched the internal sd card. And I'm on ICS right now which requires a kernel install...
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yeah, the music was there *after* I flashed my ROM and my kernel. And I always remove the .zip file so that the bootloader doesn't actually try to re-run it. The one thing I have noticed since before I rooted is that occasionally after any battery removal, something comes off the internal (and sometimes the external) memory. The only things that typically disappear though is music and/or photos, i.e. media.

I just can't figure that part out.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
That's almost scary. You don't use HTC Sync do you? I'd hate to think an underlying process from Sync was doing you in.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nope. I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to connect to PC. I actually have a spare 32gb card and a spare 16gb card and every Monday I use MS Synctoy to copy my external memory and internal memory to hard drive, thence to the external backup cards (I know, it's belt and suspenders, but it also means I never lose anything ever).

The only commonality I can come up with is the battery. Saturday I tried out my 2750 mAmp battery and kept the device off charger all day, then Sunday I switched back to my stock battery. Monday the music was there, at some point yesterday it simply wasn't (and I hadn't touched the battery).

Have had these type of issues since I got the phone. Can't quite put my finger on the cause, but since I back everything up, and since otherwise I love the thing, I'm just trying to find a pattern.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I had the exact same problem, one day, none of my music was there anymore. I finally rebooted and it was all back.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I believe I have figured it out.....when I update my recovery (as I have done every time drelisdee improves RA Vigor) it happens. I just happened to read on another thread about the CWM recovery update for the Rezound that running the PB98IMG wipes the internal memory (as somebody above in this thread suggested).

It's possible flashing kernels this way does, but clearly flashing a new recovery will mess with the internal drive.

Good to know.

Thanks everyone for helping to solve this.
[HTC Rezound] Robert235:
By any chance did you use the make more space option in the storage card settings? Using that option support erase cache,but on the stock rom it end up erasing my pictures and music.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
BINGO! Yup, I just happened to do that, thinking it would only clear cache, and that was shortly before I discovered the missing music. I am running the stock ROM, only it's deodexed so I can put mods into it. That must be the explanation.
[myTouch 4G General] allendon:
I hope somebody can help me with this little anomaly.

Been trying to downgrade htc panache with gingerbread 2.3.3.

I was able to successfully execute the commands listed on the guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912) however, when i try to downgrade the misc_version, I get the "PERMISSION DENIED"

Here is how it goes:

> adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version

> adb push flashgc /data/local/tmp/flashgc

> adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*

> adb shell

> cd /data/local/tmp

# ./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0: PERMISSION DENIED

According to the guide I should have seen something like this (--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.00.000.0

Patching and backing up partition 17...)

Please help
[myTouch 4G General] dzeedroid:
I've been following (or trying to) the same guide. I ran into the same error. From another member here, "aDeQ666", I found the following:

To be entered in adb

cd /data/local/tmp/misc_version

chmod 777 misc_version

./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

sync

Fixed my problem, but the next step, "./flashgc" , give the permission denied error. Still looking for answers ....
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
Type in

su

to gain superuser permissions before attempting those commands
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
They're most likely working in temp-root shell, where there is no su, and they don't need to call it explicitly.

The first case is solved, AFAIK.

The second case has some problems:

1) The first command is wrong. It should be:

cd /data/local/tmp/

2) A command is missing before running ./flashgc:

chmod 777 flashgc

3) You don't need to run ./flashgc in any case. You don't need a goldcard for downgrade, unless you have a Panache - and if you have and follow Panache guide, you'll see that a goldcard is already prepared in another form.

I purchased this game two days ago after trying the demo version because it was really captivating to me, however, when I attempt to download it, it simply says "starting download" and never actually downloads.

I also checked my Google wallet and edited the zip code, which was wrong at first and I still can't play. Does anybody know how I can fix the game to install.
