[Nexus S General] SimonSezz:
I have had a Nexus S 4G for a while and I'm getting a lot of notification noises whenever the 4G signal is lost or acquired and just getting random notification noises overall. Is there a way to turn these sounds off on the stock ROM or is there a ROM that allows control over all notification sounds? It seems like the stock ROM only allows one notification noise for everything pretty much.
[Nexus S General] 309041291a:
Have you tried going into each individual app and check everywhere in your settings app? For each app and section (most) there should be a place to check/uncheck notification sounds. You could also try a market search for something relevant :\?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Hey guys :D!

Okay so has anyone noticed that the ICS boot logo running on most ICS ROMs looks VERY washed out on out Nexus S's? Well I have. To make it truly nice the colours need to be deeper and more rich than they are right now... Does anybody agree with me? I feel like it's too bright at some points an overall a little faded.

So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get an ICS boot logo with 'better' colour. If not, can somebody please make one :)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean1984:
here is boot from galaxy nexus. i didnt make it i found it around the forums :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitch16:
Completely agree with you. I really don't like the look of the new boot animation so I usually run a custom one. Doesn't affect any performance aspects but it just looks cool :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iGoogleNexus:
=\ I went to Verizon and turn off the Galaxy Nexus and turned on.... =\ the boot Animation Looks the Same as the ones on the ICS Nexus S... I was disappointed =\

-Google
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
If I use that the colours will still be washed out, won't they? I want a custom ICS boot animation with richer colours, not the washed out one :p

Yeah it down right sucks. The Nexus S boot animation was better IMO
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitch16:
I have the boot animation for GB if you want that. I've gone back to GB because I keep getting terrible battery life on ICS :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Lol thanks but I used ROM Manager and put it on already :-P. Actually my battery life is freaking amazing and I always use my phone. I send about 500-600 texts per day, 30-60 min of gaming, 1-3 hours (usually 2) of internet, and 1-2 hours of music will get me by my day. (About 16-19 hours)

imo looks much better

default nexus s and galaxy nexus bootanimation are way too bright and show too much color banding look horrid

edit

added flashable zip
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Going to try it out... one second

Put it in there and nothing happened. Maybe the ROM Toolbox boot animation I installed is interfering? Or I don't know what I'm doing lol

Both are identical. And they get the job done :). THANK YOU BOTH IT'S AMAZING! I will +1 you both when I'm off mobile! This needs to be put into the custom ROMs over the boot animation they use now... I recommend either one to anyone. This thread needs a bump :)

last time i help his unappreciative ass

now that i an open your images just like i though not "identical"

My images are larger, darker and are jpeg

Okay dude calm down. Not once did I post a "smart ass" remark. I had thought I flashed both because they were both in the same folder. I made a mistake that is all. No need to go flaming and start up with nonsense like you were doing. You need to learn to control yourself. Honestly there was no reason to get so worked up over that.

Here's the stock bootanimation for LG phones that are 4G. Not very flashy or anything but I actually like it.

Download the zip file

Place on sdcard

Copy/Paste to /system/media

Reboot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckang008:
with stock battery, i've been getting extremely horrible battery life around 6 hours maximum with tethering. I think most people using this phone in this forum is getting the same problem

Went to amazon.com and found a 3850mAh Extended Battery for Skyrocket made by QCell. It have the highest mAh rating among all other manufacturers.

Product arrive 1 day from purchase. The seller seems to ship out pretty quick. I charge the battery for 8 hours prior to use and now with this battery, I can last full day without charge.

The cover that comes with the battery is in reflective black. Matches quite nicely to the phone.

It's better idea to buy 3 pack of knock off batteries with charger on Ebay for $10. That's what i've done and i've had the batteries for 2 months now.. The knock off batteries last about 80-90% as long as the original. I always keep two charged and swap them whenever needed and bam back to 100% and no oversized backing in which no case can fit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djarpit:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Redhead518:
Most of the extended batteries I looked for were out of stock and I don't want to go to the larger back if possible. I did find these in a 2 pack with charger for around $25. Anyone have good/bad to say about them. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Skyrocket-Battery-Charger/dp/B0062D3UI8/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] helio2k:
Seems interesting but how is the quality on these batteries :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silkshocker:
I got those and they worked ok. Don't last as long as the OEM but you have an option of switching the batteries when waiting for the other to charge. They take a long time to charge from 0 to 100%. Still a better alternative than getting stuck with 1 battery. For me they last about 4 hours with listening to the radio on LTE and with everything else running in the background. This phone does suck a lot of juice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarienA:
I have this one, unfortunately I haven't had to check it out, I'll try to fire it up this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] helio2k:
Thanx let me now if it's worth the money and also if the thickness does not kill the looks.

Cheers ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackraven1425:
Sounds like its not even close to 3800mah, or even 1800mah. Cheap batteries are notorious for overstating their actual capacity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Girn:
If u guys read what I wrote you would only have to spend $10 and get 3 batteries along with charger.. One of the batteries lasts a decent amount of time. I've been running on the Ebay battery since 6am and its now 152 pm. And I'm at 30% with decent data usage. I got my stock battery fully charged and ready to go for when I run out.. And I have the other two batteries as back ups if one of the batteries decides to fail. That beats having an oversized backing anyday
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackraven1425:
It depends on whether you carry a briefcase , are around a single place regularly, or have neither apply to you. I'm all over the place without a bag daily, so batteries in the pockets makes no sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] helio2k:
Same here that you need the battery power last you the whole day. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
Looked at extended batteries but didn't want to add thickness. Found an external battery pack (8400mAh) that works great, especially since I use a tablet. Gotta carry an extra device, but that works for me. Can get smaller capacity for about 1/2 the price of the one I got.

Can't post links since I'm a noob :o. Search Amazon for Anker external battery pack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarienA:
Finally had a chance to run this battery through its passes the last few days.

Let me describe my day.

I run an IT shop so I get lots of status, info, newsletter etc emails throughout the day. In addition I get text messages regularly, email on my gmail account, facebook updates and hourly twitter updates via plume.

So my phone comes off the charger around 7am(on home wifi), I start dealing with work emails at that time.

I do a commute of about 40-45 min where I'll listen to music that is stored on my phone pipe through my cars audio system in the morning. Get to work(go back to wwifi), then the phone will be on on sound notification for text and work email throughout the daily. I also run NoLED for notification.

Lunch time I'll come off wifi as I head out but I'll the phone will see increase usage as I'll browse various apps, play a few games, etc.

Back to just status notifications for the rest of the work day(back on wifi), then an evening commute home listening to music again, and back on wifi at home.

With that in my the stock battery will start at 100% and by the end of the day as I get in my car to head home be at about 15%-17%.

Yesterday the extended battery was at 45% when I got in the car, and by about 10:30pm was still at about 15%.

Today I didn't use my phone as much today (limiting it to mostly status updates which still come regularly) and my phone right now is at 65%.

This will work for me. I really only have an extended battery for periods where I'm not going to be near a charger... basically a day when I know I'm going to be out and about, as oppose to at work or in my car.

So with that being said I'm happy with the purchase.

edit: I also own an Energizer XP18000 which I can use to charge my phone and my Xoom 4G tablet that will come in to play when I head out on business trips for IT conferences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackraven1425:
So, you're gettng a 30% increase from a supposed 1950mah increase in battery capacity over the 1850 mah stock. That sounds like a 2400mah battery rather than a 3800mah battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarienA:
My testing was very unscientific and this is really only the first day of usage. I vaguely remember that with many of these batteries folks have commented that the increase gains fairly quickly over a short period of usage/recharging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] helio2k:
I hope that the battery charger will increase over time as this in ok bit not ideal for the price.. ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarienA:
oh I agree its definitely pricey, but I'm ok with it. It accomplishes what I need it to, if it gets better then ever better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gstyle40:
I will NEVER use an extended battery again. Had my nexus 1 for 6 months, was listening to music from phone via bt thru car speakers when all of the sudden my phone just died. Battery was still good, but phone was dead. Got home and started doing some research. What I found was that these large capacity extended batteries are notorious. For bricking phones. A little buyer beware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Share this research, specifically as to HOW? From an electronics perspective, it doesn't make sense. A fried board or chip makes sense but brick? Unless that's what you meant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sur2eaL:

Hey everyone,

So I was extracting the framework-res.apk to replace the battery .pngs. Everything was going fine but when I was replacing the framework-res.apk in Root Explorer the nook rebooted and thus has sent me into a bootloop. I tried reverting to stock using the sdcard method but it boots into CWM. Not sure if the acclaim_update.zip can be used in CWM i tried anyway getting the error "asset failed: (ro.product.device") == "blaze"

So basically I am extremely stuck. Any suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Get in CWM and plug your device to the machine you used for root or working nook drivers, in CWM go to mounts and storage> and mount /system, take the stock or custom framework-res.apk and put it in C:\ntroot ( where adb should be) , it will look like this C:\ntroot\framwork-res.apk , open CMD as administrator and run:

> cd C:\ntroot
> adb devices (Check if your device really gets recognized)
> adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

Good Luck!

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
I went through the process and after a reboot it now is going into a faster bootloop. So I was researching a bit deeper and came across your post on the same process for the /system folder with the acclaim.zip. I went through that process also replacing all folders and still am in a bootloop. I know the adb is pushing properly. Sorry, Im still learning. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Maybe format /system folder and start from strach in CWM? Also what exact folders need replaced?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Well you just messed up with framwork-res.apk which is located in /system/framework folder so that means only the framework folder. Unmount system, wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions i CWM or in adb you fix permissions like this

adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/*.apk

and change owner like this:

chown root /system/framework/*.apk

Good luck!

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Still not working, just constantly rebooting. I am honestly so stumped. Is there any way I just can restore?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
When you installed CWM did you make a backup? possibly if so try making a restore, if not then try a hard factory reset , thought i don't know if that or the acclaim_update.zip might work with the CWM we have. I personally did not installed CWM and won't because of this kind of things still for me is not fully tested perhaps not really a must for now. I have tested the adb method while in CMW in my smartphones there is still things to fix in the nook tablet.

Bed time catch you tomorrow, wish you luck!

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Yeah silly me, didn't create a backup in CWM. Also I cannot do a hard factory reset as the bootloop is so fast, it barely reaches the 'read forever' logo. I honestly do not know what I can even do at this point until wait for a custom ROM to flash over everything in CWM. I also PMed Zapcorns who is having a similar issue. Regardless thanks so much thus far and hopefully someone has a fix.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
I forgot to tell you to try a wipe data too in CWM, cross fingers. Hopefully that makes it

Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Sadly nope, still stuck.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
Well, if it makes you feel any better mine doesn't even loop. It boots to the "read forever" and then just stays there. I'm going to try flashing the acclaim_update zip because that's the only thing I've read so far that might fix it. If it works I will let you know...but I have a sinking feeling I'm screwed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Can you boot into CWM? If so I think your far from screwed. If you don't have CWM installed you should be able to revert to stock via the sdcard method. I just feel stuck in limbo as I can not revert to stock recovery nor can I flash a ROM as they dont exist yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
I can get to CWM recovery but now it's just a matter of finding a flashable zip that will undo what my stupidity has wrought. It's encouraging to hear I may not be totally SOL.

Edit: I think we may be in the exact same state. I can't do the factory reset either. All I can do is boot to CWM for now. I did manage to experiment with Indirect's gapp zips and get those to flash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Did you make a CWM backup when you installed it? or you did not too, the last 2 options that you guys have is try to get a clean CWM backup from a user(Still could simply not work) or try Goncezilla sdcard method to flash stock recovery so bye bye CWM and then try to flash the acclaim_update.zip.

Good Luck to both of you, and hope you learn the lesson and don't mess up around without be cautious.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Asking for boot.img might be a bit much, plus you said it still has a possibility of not working. I was looking over Goncezilla's post but not quite understanding how to do the process with stock recovery instead of CWM? And also worst case scenario I am assuming when ROMs start coming out I can just flash one over this mess?

Once again thanks and this has been quite a learning experience.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Have you tried the CWM backups from this site in the ROM's sections - they are NOT flashable zips!

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] heric1:
Never been so happy to see my homescreen! Worked perfectly. Thank you so much for that link and your patience.
