[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
I have used debootstrap to do other things done, but i dont't know how to use fastboot to boot my kernel with initrd or debian's. My hboot is 1.49.0011, I use htc dev way to unlock it, but still s-on, rooted and has a recovery.

Someone told that me that fastboot boot zimage initrd -c $DEFAULT_CMDLINE root=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 , but fastboot can't accept -c part , without it, i only see HTC logo.

Please tell me how to.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
or i can use its zimage to boot it？but where it is
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
I have been told to use abootimg to do that, with an empty initramfs.

BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x48000000

root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootwait noinitrd fbcon=rotate:1
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but if it's flashing a ROM, "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery.img is the actual name of your recovery image, which needs to be in your folder with fastboot. Hope that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Well first. What recovery mod do you currently have installed?
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
on,I want to boot a debian in sdcard,but now it is kernel problem sd_blk_issue_rq.

It is no concerned about recovery

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] andrey22vl:
to use my mp3 files as ringtones and notification sound i just copied the mp3 files using root explorer in system/media/audio/notification or ringtone folder... then restart your phone and you will find your mp3 files in ringtones and notification list
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] MisterX86:
Hello, I am a new user of xda but I follow another forum related to android and I was wondering if I can bring your guide on the site Androidiani giving all due credit of course!tnx
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CtrlAltDelIrl:
There is absolutely no point in doing this.

OGG files are not "ringtone files" for a start. They are the equivalent of mp3 files except that the codec is free to use and has better compression and audio quality than mp3 files.

MP3 codecs, just like JPEGs are a proprietry format (evil)

OGG codecs, just like PNGs are free to use (nice)

Non-proprietry codecs are one of the benefits we get from being based on Linux.

In the conversion from mp3 to ogg you will suffer quality reduction, not by using oggs but through the conversion process itself.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CnC-ROCK:
Yup..that does the work.no need to convert to ogg..

Agreed bro..

The best way here would be.copy the mp3 in sd. open music player and then set as ringtone. No need to even copy in system/media/audio/ringtones..or whatever folder it is.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] rizaljr:
helloo all

Thanks, thist my first .ogg file. just want share. :o :)

beloved forum
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] bal1971:
---------------------

CtrlAltDelIrl has already explained why it's .ogg that plays its best part in android.

i'd not even blink a sec if i have to use ogg for my music. mp3 is on its way out.

and by the way, copying the ringtone file into /system/media/audio/ringtones ensures

that the file won't show up in your music player. copying to any other place makes

it visible and prone to deletion (by many music players in play).

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DenusAndre:
Thanks, this was quite helpful!!! I watch movies using VLC, but i used free audio converter by dvdvideosoft and converted them on my PC, then uploaded to my phone. The toold is quite helpful (i got it from here), but your trick will save my time! Thanks again.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CKKnot:
How about this?

TAudioConverter - Home at Codeplex

Usually I'll download flac & push it directly to phone. If I got time, I would convert it to Opus or AAC-HE.

I use rockbox to play music:D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DenusAndre:
Another good & clean tool, almost same as FAC, thanks!

The idea to do this in VLC right on your android phone without copying it to the phone hundred times is much more timesaving though :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CKKnot:
How about this? It is based on FFmpeg, so its mainly on software but some in hardware too :fingers-crossed:

Its not clean, you'll need to learn to make own command line if you want to customize it more (quality or bit-rate wise)

But but, it still have some present included ;)

FFmpeg Media Encoder
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] bal1971:
thanx a ton zapapro!

i was able to get a customized PowerOn audio, convert it to .ogg by your method and then place in /system/media/ui for a change powering on my note3.

delicius!!!

After having spent several days attempting to create a boot animation, I have finally had success. Attached is my first bootanimation of possibly many. First I want to say that all I did for this one was recolor lfaber's bootanimation in his SC_V5 Rom.

If anyone has any requests or ideas, I will be more than happy to create them!

Instructions:

Download attached file (bootanimation_sepia.zip) to SD Card

Using root explorer navigate to the sd card (/mnt/sdcard)

Copy downloaded file to: \system\media

*Optional, to make a backup copy the old one out to the sd card

Delete out the old bootanimation (bootanimation.zip)

Rename bootanimation_sepia.zip to bootanimation.zip

Reboot phone

Watch new pretty colors

If anyone has any problems, please let me know! I can provide a copy of Lfaber's original one if needed.

If anyone would like this as a flashable zip, I could try and do it, but will need tons of help from someone who knows how to do it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I found this new chrome extension that allows you to download any app from https://market.android.com/, regardless of if its "officially" compatible with your device or showing up on your market app. I don't have my Nook tablet yet so I can't test it but I tested a couple apps that don't show up on my Xoom's market and shows incompatible at the website but was able to sideload the apks that I downloaded with the extension.

Now this is of course not a guarantee that the app will work with your Nook tablet (or other device); this is simply a way to get the apks and test (if I remember right, Facebook was one of the popular apps that wouldn't show up in the market and needed to be side loaded).

The extension requires your google login + device ID (there's an app to help get that ID) and that guide explains why your login is needed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hensley1971:
Great application. I'm in japan and nice not to be stuck with bad app selection
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
After I clicked "Ok" after this step,

Switch to “Shortcut” tab. In “Target” field, insert [space]--ignore-certificate-errors at the end. Once you have that finished, click “OK” .

It will look something like this: C:\…\chrome.exe --ignore-certificate-errors

Close Chrome and open it again with that shortcut

it showed an error "The name 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrtome.exe --ignore-certificate-errors' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."

Did anyone run into the same problem? I assume my Chrome is the latest version since I just downloaded and installed today.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
It's 17.0.963.56
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ACL3:
What you want to do is make sure those quotation marks are not around the --ignore-certificate-errors

they should stop at the chrome.exe"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ACL3:
Tool Bar (under the X, if you're using windows) and then about google chrome.

Or right into the url bar: chrome://version/
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
I found out the problem. The --ignore-certificate-errors must be outside the " as shown below:

suggestion

guys I'm using this extension : codekiem(dot)c*m/2012/02/24/apk-downloader

and it supports the new Google play ,,

but the bad thing is I can't download apps unless there are compatible with my device ,,, and it can recognize my device via device Id

so my suggestion , is we post our device name and device Id , so If anyone wants to download an app that is not compatible with his/her device ,, he can change the device Id from the list that we shared

I hope its not a security threat !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] leej:
Thanks Cubanluke88, :D awesome find. Working so far with my NT. After following all your instructions all apps that otherwise tell me that are "not compatible to my device" will install. From what i can also tell because i can install them it lets me update those apps.

Once i download wanted app all i do is get it from my download folder and copy to dropbox. From there it installs via dropbox app on my NT.

Not yet tried it with paid apps though. I will see what happens there soon!

I just bought a Samsung Continuum for my first android powered phone, and I was looking up how to root the phone when I somehow ended up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203597.
