How to install boot animation?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] taodan:
Download the zip from the above and then follow the instructions on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1429308
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n1newbie:
first u need to be rooted to change bootanimation.

1.download the zip file and rename it to bootanimation.zip

2. using a root file explorer mount /system to rw permission

3. replace the downloaded bootanimation.zip with the original bootanimation.zip from /system/media and /data/local

4.reboot and njoy

ps- remember to backup the original bootanimation.zip to be safer :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeathlySpectator:
Thanks for all the compliment!:) I'm already thinking of doing another one...:p

OP: Is there any way to make it available for MDPI devices ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tommert38:
Download it, extract the contents, resize images in the folders to 320x480 and replace 480 800 in the desc.txt with 320 480. Zip up everything (no compression) and voilà!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Duranx:
Cant i just Flash it in recovery?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tommert38:
If you make it flashable you could..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Duranx:
It looks cool thanks...

Best buy has a weekly add that shows it as $100 off.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mvan4310:
Yeah, I just bought this at that price. The 8.9 dropped $50 as well. The sale ends the 10th of March.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Some things to keep in mind though...

- The G-Tab 2 is meant to be a replacement for the originals. According to Nvidia they've lost Samsung as a customer so the 1GHz chip in the G-Tab 2 might not be Teg2 (a good thing).

- No Android tablet will sell for more than the iPad (and they barely sell at the same price). The 11.6 will most likely be the same price as the iPad3. The G-Tab 2 will most likely be Samsung's "value" tablet and sell at $399ish in 16GB with the Note 10.1 somewhere in between.

- When the G-Tab 2 is released prices on the original will probably drop further to get rid of existing stock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Live2Follow:
They haven't learned. They will price it high and blame Android. They don't listen to the free market. You will see this at 10.1 2 at 599.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
But somehow, being the most expensive, offering the least number of expansion ports, and having the most expensive accessories they've managed to retain the highest market share of any Market-capable tablet manufacturer. As long as that continues they have no incentive to change their behavior. And if the iPad3 keeps the same pricing as the iPad2 Samsung will be iucky to get $599 for the 11.6 better yet the G-Tab 2.

Doesn't work as wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
I tried to do this to my Note and had problems getting the wallpaper to display correctly. It would do some weird split screen thing and it looked like crap.

I am also interested to see if anyone can get it working.

These shows how versatile ADWEx is.....I don't think this sort of setup is for me....but it's cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
so it works with the int'l version, but not AT&T's? if so, that kinda stinks :-\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
Yes....scrolling is an issue with most Launchers on our Note....aShell launcher is the only launcher I have been able to get scrolling to work.

You could try using aShell for this setup, it is based on ADWEx.

i'll save the $ for now i reckon & stick with Zeam until something visually stunning comes along :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gizhola:
I've got almost everything setup with a 3D UI on my Telus Note using Go Launcher EX. Like the rest of you, the only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling wallpaper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
Scrolling works find on GoLauncher. I had to disable and re-enable but then it worked just fine.

Also at the end of the vid he states that if you add a new homescreen it messes it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] James Harrison:
More info

Can someone describe what's going on when you try and swipe between home screens?

Do the icons move with the adw ex transition but the wallpaper doesn't (stays static)?

Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.

I may have the completely wrong idea but that's what it kind of sounds like..

lol it's a great UI once you get it going, trust me!

My note works fine with the ADWLauncher EX. The Facebook widget works great i just need to get the font like Cold Fustion. Also the Font for the Calendar. The background on these wont go away as i dont see the options to get rid of them. Other than that the scrolling is fine. Just enable the Scrolling Wallpapers and your good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Russll:
Yea wallpaper scrolling is a lot more fluid on the international version. Are you rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shigga:
He wants to make the wallpaper scroll like in the video using multi live wallpaper. And that doesn't work on the US version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] James Harrison:
Any Updates?

Hi there, has anybody managed to get ADW EX wallpaper scrolling to work on their US note yet? I was notified today that this problem is still around.

I just find this really strange.. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmjkxa:
Also when using ex launcher any wallpaper i use (static) zooms in no matter what i do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Donjuanal:
Saurom RCVI fixes wallpaper scrolling in ADW EX and Touchwiz. I use ADW EX and MPLW and scrolling works just like this tutorial. You need to make sure that Inifite loop is disabled or it wont animate when you're going from the last page to the first page or vice versa. Also disable the scrolling cache in ADW Ex and its much smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juggz143:
This is actually pretty simple to do (especially since scrolling is fixed), multi pic live wallpaper is probably the main reason people where upset scrolling didn't work...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Fisher_9511:
Interop-Unlocking is OS-related right ? The issue is to deploy it on some device, so why not apply it on the ROM itself and then flash this ROM to the device ?!

Most of us know that flashing our Nokia Lumia just needs Data Package Manager (or NaviFirm) to download a new ROM (to get the latest version, your country, operator variant...) and Product Support Tool For Store to flash it.

So my question is can't we apply the Interop-Unlock on these files and then flash them to the phone ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] cdbase:
from what i know my friend is that interop is phone side now way to do that like this ,maybe rom with a xap(exploit) onboard but it's good people come with ideas

more ideas more we can do.
[Nokia Lumia 800] spikeymouse:
Afaik you need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom rom

our bootloaders aren't unlocked
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
These ROMs are most likely signed. The phone checks most likely for a valid signature upon install of those ROM thus preventing us from Manipulation ist contents.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Fisher_9511:
That was an idea... and I've seen it nowhere so I just wanted to bring it to you (because I have absolutely no idea of how to do it :D).
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Is there no way to remove the sig from the ROM, then edit the ROM with interop unlock and then sign the thing again with the same signature you remove?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ShotSkydiver:
The problem is re-signing it. Only Nokia has the means to sign a file in a way that the phone will accept it, and it's likely through a unique key generated by Nokia.

Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
There is no way to get that unique key? Or to know how they specifically sign the ROM's?
[Nokia Lumia 800] cdbase:
can u tell me if sth is going to happen soon? 5 best devs got 5 fckn Lumias

and we got 2 months already passed i know that a human person has to eat ,**** and other stuff but lumia scene is currently dead for that moment .NOTHING HAPPENS ONLY **** IDEAS .
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Everything starts with an idea ;) Be patient :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] ShotSkydiver:
I believe that requires a level of reverse engineering that I'm not sure has ever been done on a windows phone. HTC phones are able to flash a custom ROM by bypassing the need for a signed key, rather than signing it through HTC's way. If developers focused on signing them rather than bypassing the signing development on phones would take ten times longer.

Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
I see. And on Nokia phones, can't we find a way to bypass the sig check as well? Or something similar. I remember SSPL from my HD Mini. If I remember correctly, it didn't do anything to the bootloader, it just somehow managed to have a correct check (or maybe no check at all) for the sig and then I could flash whatever I wanted. Is SSPL for Lumia 800 an option?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ShotSkydiver:
All I've heard about Nokia Windows Phones is that they're harder to crack and bypass than HTC and Samsung's phones; not entirely sure what makes one harder over the other.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xsacha:
We can modify Symbian ROMs and flash them in Phoenix. Has anyone checked that WP7 ROMs wouldn't work the same way?

I flashed a new Lumia ROM in Phoenix and the files were deployed in the same way that they deploy on Nokia Symbian devices.

So, ... maybe the Symbian firmware tools would work (with slight modification?).
[Nokia Lumia 800] Chipsaru:
Lumia bootloader will block any unsigned rom, it doesn't work in a symbian way.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xsacha:
I'm pretty sure Symbian bootloader is locked down too and requires signed ROMs (at least the core needs to be signed, maybe not the UDA).

I think someone found a way around it which is why we have custom ROMs on Symbian. Do you think same thing could be done on WP7?
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Maybe we could ask one of the Symbian devs to help us? To take a look?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Briefcase:
I see post with info like 'the bootloader checks to see if the rom is signed correctly' and I agree to that because I have thought about it too and came to the same conclusion. It's just logical to assume since deploying cabs and using resources (registry editing and other high privileged actions) are so well protected by MS and Nokia. (Actually this holds for other OEMs as well these days, for example HTC; v2 drivers are as well protected as the ones of Nokia and therefore as of today not providing us with the exploits earlier versions deliverd to unlock our phones.)

We could blame them for that but in fact i think they are doing a very good job in keeping things safe. That's why I appreciate for example why Heatcliff is releasing the next Root Tools (unfortunately but understandably for already Interop Unlocked phones) with a meganism that allows the user to decide which apps may have the permissions they require and which don't (to prevent malware).

Going back to the roms, has anyone actually tried to alter a ROM with the required registry settings to enable Interop Unlock in the ROM itself? I believe it's only one key that's important: "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install\MaxUnsignedApp" that needs to be set to a value of 300 or higer for the phone to be interop unlocked (AppHub and Chevron Labs set this value to 10, AppHub student to 3). There are also a few values to keep it from relocking, but MaxUnsignedApp is the key key ;-). See http://wiki.windowsphonehacker.com/wiki/Interop_unlock.

The reason why I ask this is because I haven't seen any tools around here that allow the ROM files to be editted. I know most of them are just zip files (rename them and you can look inside), but then you end up with other files that i do not see how to edit.

My point is: As long as we have not tried this approach we cannot confirm our (I admit most likely true hypothesis that the altered rom will be rejected by means of invalid signature).

Also, take note that there are two ways of flashing a rom that we know of:

* Refurbished flashing, which requires the phone to be 'alive', and

* Recovery flashing, which first gets the phone's bootloader in some sort of 'download' mode

This last recovery mode might seem the best way (as in least protected) to start with.

Note: I'm not an expert in this like HeathCliff and GoodDayToDie, I'm just trying to offer some ideas and give a summary for what is my understanding of the current situation by reading this forums.
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Seems a good idea ;) However, I doubt if the phone would accept the altered ROM, not mentioning HOW are we going to change it? My guess: the phone makes sort of hash from the ROM-file and if it's not allright, it rejects. Altering the registry key, would also alter the hash-code. (Or maybe it's just not working that way but I give the key to uncrackable ROM's). Whatever, just posting what comes to my mind... :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] AndrewSpec:
I have an idea - we can install updates from cab. Update cab contains some new cabs and inside them we can find rgu files.

And here's my idea -> add registry settings for interop to the rgu and prepare a new cab with update.

Has anyone tried it yet?
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
I don't think we can upload custom CAB's and a cab file with only registry entries doesn't work anyway. You would have to place a dummy file somewhere.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
AFAIK These cabs are signed as well. So changing them would alter their Signatur thus making them invalid. It all comes down to certificates :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] AndrewSpec:
For the old WM are some tools for signing cabs and dlls. Maybe it will work :>
[Nokia Lumia 800] Chipsaru:
It must be signed with trusted certificate, like microsoft's one. And you can't own microsoft's private key to sign your stuff.
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:

[Nokia Lumia 800] najib82:

[HD2 General] matej.charvat:
Hi,

I had a small accident today with my HD2 :(. It felt from my pocket to the hard floor. It was in the leater pouch, but it hit right on the corner, where is no coverage.

I picked the phone up and was happy at first (no display cracks), but not for long. When I tried to turn it of, grey screed showed.

The device seems to be working, I can turn it on/off with the HW button...but I cant see anything.

As I said, there are no cracks of the glass layer so the digitizer should be ok. I just don't know actually.

Can anybody help me?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
unfortunately you cant make that assumption, i have a hd2 with a badly shattered glass, (same as you, dropped from about 3 feet landed on the corner, shattered all the way to the other end of the phone) yet the digitizer and LCD worked perfectly for at least 18 months before finally the digitizer died, LCD still works fine.

My point being that just cos one part of the three (glass, digitizer, LCD) seems ok tells you nothing about the other two parts.

My guess is either the screen itself died, the connection on the mainboard broke/became unseated, or even that its unrelated to the screen at all and is in fact something else that broke and shows itself as a non responsive screen.

Im not sure if this is possible given that you have no screen to work with, and i guess something would need to be installed on the phone to make it work, but how about some software that shows your screen on the PC? you may even be able to tell if touching it is working.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] klinsukont:
For some reason, all of a sudden, my backgrounds will not scroll when swiping through the homescreen. This is driving me nuts, i have checked all the obvious settings, any other ideas??
[Click General] Mike Percival:
I have acquired a second HTC Tattoo and find that the screen calibration is about 7mm off. Touching the left side of the screen activates something in the centre.

The phone is running the standard android 1.6, nothing added.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is a cure.

Thanks

[Click General] rallapag:
Settings -> Display -> calibration or Screen calibration

And touch the points to get the screen calibrated
[Click General] Mike Percival:
Been there, done that.

Sadly it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks for the thought but I think it may be something deeper than that!

Any other thoughts would be very welcome.

[Click General] enriquettoo:
I think with Froyo it was an app for calibrating screen, with diferent profiles (say, numbers for calibrate).

Try to find it and ...good luck!

Got interest in editing the whole theme on my WT19i.

Few questions first.

What files do I need to edit to change the notification bar, toggle buttons to be exact?

And about lockscreen, how to change the layout? What files?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
A small note.

Do not recommend lockscreen replacements, I have tried these already, my LWW's Walkman button is not blocked. Had a problem today morning, when I suddenly heard music playing, those buttons get clicked quite easily in my pocket.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
all data of notification bar is in System-UI.apk, when you decompile it you will see few xml's open them and you will understand.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I found the .xml files, but these seem in a very strange language, seems like compiled or something.

Is it needed to decompile .apk with decompiler or is regular zipping program good enough?

I already have Eclipse to do the editing, but it can't read the Manifest file correctly, probably due to this strange coding in .xml files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
you need to decompile them using apktool, unzipping it wont work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
You dont need to edit any xml's if you're looking to edit how stuff looks. Inside the apk, without decompiling, you will find the drawable-mdpi folder. Inside there are files. If you take out a .png file e.g. Topmenubar.png and edit it, you can dimply drag and drop it in the apk. Apktool is only needed for when you intend to change something that has been compiled, like .xml files.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
OP said he wants to change toggle buttons. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
So all he has to do is (if there are already toggle buttons in the theme he's got), pull them off the apk, change them and put them back in
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I would like to change the button, not it's icon, but what it does.

I need 2G-3G switch, so I need to place it myself.

And yes, I already have them in the theme, have now decompiled SystemUI.apk and will take a look on .xml files, when I have time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Has anyone idea, where are files about Lockscreen located? I cannot find these.

Also, seems like my sliders are higher than usually...

Could it be because I have edited slider .png files?
