NO, it is not a flashable zip file, you clown you ;).

*To make this work you must be rooted, AND you must have a supporting kernel (i.e. PB&J by IMNUTS)

1. You need to go here: http://bit.ly/pJ1znp and download the zip file which will contain two other zip files, one animation for landscape and one animation for portrait.

**You can watch both previews here (they are only slightly different): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7344-bootanimation-galaxy-nexustron-like-android/

2. Extract one of the inner zip files (or both) and put them on your sd card.

3. Rename the one you want to sanim.zip, and use a file explorer app (I use Root explorer -it's awesome), to copy the renamed "sanim.zip" from your sd-card to the /system/media folder on your phone.

4. Reboot and Ta Da

How can I add audio? (using the landscape version)
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Hey, if u don't mind, I'm going to use your instruction for ppl.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cryptrix:
Hmm..

To add sound on boot, you need a .wav file, you need to rename said .wav file to PowerOn.wav, and you need to put it in /System/Etc on your phone. I ripped the audio file that goes along with this boot animation and converted it/renamed it yadda yadda which I could give you if you really want, it is also available on that link I posted earlier in some format.

HOWEVER, there is still the problem of boot sounds getting cut off after about 9 seconds, leaving about 4-5 seconds of the animation without sound DEPENDING on what Rom you are running [I know Khali was able to get it working for the full length so if you are running TweakStock 1.4 you should be all set]. As for my InfinityRom I'm sure there is some xml editing that could be done to extend the sound for any given Rom but I am not sure what it is yet, I am looking into it..

If you wanted to put a shortened PowerOn.wav file on your phone that would only play for a portion of the animation that would work just fine (might look a little stupid though :rolleyes:).

**Again TweakStock 1.4 should NOT cut your sound short.

No worries, just keep my nametag attached somewhere if ya dont mind ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
Thank cliMAKtic! Got it to work. Just replaced the poweron.wav. It plays during the entire animation. I am running TweakStock 1.4 (dont know if that matters)

Try going to Settings/Applications/Manage apps/, then find Maps, long press it and try to uninstall.

That's true but -- google maps are a privacy leak. I got an email some days ago from google:

Google Mobile Maps Location Reporting Reminder

To protect your privacy we would like you to know that Google Mobile Maps is running on your mobile device and reporting your location. This is just a privacy reminder - if you did not enable this or want to stop reporting your location, disable location reporting in Google Mobile Maps location settings.

[Nook Touch General] grumpygrizzly:
OK, I was attempting to root my Simple touch and apparently I pulled the SD card too early.

Now all I have is the Nook by Barnes and Noble screen flashing every 3 seconds and not going any farther.

I can hold the power button down for 30 seconds and get the Read Forever screen that says Your Nook is now starting up, then it goes back to flashing.

Has anyone run into this problem?? Is there a fix? I'd still like to root this touch.

I was able to root my kindle fire with a little finesse in the instructions and I love the abilities it now has.

I know the touch won't have that kind of capabilities but, I'd like it to have more than it came with.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Then re-root with TouchNooter or any flavour of MinimalTouch
[Nook Touch General] grumpygrizzly:
EdEd333,

Thanks for the qiuick reply.

I'm using the CRM program, I think I have everything in the right place. The NST has booted with the logo, I'm able to move through the menus, get to the part to Choose zip from SD card and it's telling me E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip.

I don't know if it's reading the SD card in the NST as the E drive but, when I pull the card out and check it on my laptop, I don't see any files named update.zip.

Did I miss a file somewhere?

the Alpha-formattouch-2.zip file is on the card as well. I've looked at it on my computer and I don't see an update.zip there either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
You need to select "Choose zip from SD" or something to that effect.
[Nook Touch General] eded333:
Googie2149 is right.

I just updated the instructions on the thread.

This are the new steps for the v2 zip:

Copy the zip onto the root directory of the sdcard you burned the CWM.(Don't extract them)

Insert the sdcard on your nook, and boot it.

On CWM select

install zip from sdcard

Then select

choose zip from sdcard

Select

Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip

, click yes and wait till the process finishes.

Go back, eject the sd card, and click reboot.

will i get the ICS?

Thanks for any help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Flip a coin and let us know how it comes up.

It isn't even out for the International version of the Note. That will come first. Then each carrier has to customize it. That will take some time. Holding your breath is not recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:
Uh go ask Telus. Only good way to find out. Or even better call, cause store representatives are sometimes incorrect.

If you keep it stock, I am sure when Rogers ICS drops, you can download and flash the official update.

If you are rooted, chances are, you will get it sooner. :)

Find the yakju Odin file on xda or Google it. Extract and run the exe. Put your phone in download mode (volume down + power) plug it in via USB and wait till it restores your phone.

Lol transform it into an ATT model? You're kidding right? But yeah, you're cool to install GSM roms as long as your bootloader is unlocked
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
You can't transform the phone from CDMA to GSM since they require fully different chipsets. However, provided that you unlock tour bootloader, you can flash GSM roms at your leisure.

[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
make sure it is formated in FAT32.
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
As kryddan mentioned, thats often a problem with partitioning. Try plugging the SD card in your computer and open up Disk Utility if you're on *nix or Disk Management in Windows and look at what partitions you've got. For best results, make one partition in FAT32.
[Sony Tablet S] pctektgg:
Well it was already formatted from factory to fat32, but I went ahead and inserted the card to a laptop and formatted it again fat32 and sony tablet s still says the message about being damaged to try formating. thanks
[Sony Tablet S] blambo:
Format anything to FAT32, HARD CORE...

Deadly serious business: Know what you are doing. :eek:

Go here and download this nasty little bit of über badness: fat32format.exe

Unpack the zip, then copy the 'fat32format.exe' to your C: drive (the root of C: )

Open a command prompt (Start, search programs, "cmd")

In the command prompt, navigate to C: "cd c:\" - no quotes.

(Quick note: If you have Admin rights, just open C:, then hold "Shift" together with a right mouse click; The drop-down menu will now offer a listing: "Open command window here")

Command prompt now at C:, TYPE: fat32format (space, then your sd card drive letter with a ":" colon)... something like: fat32format f:

Be very very sure of your drive letter, this little executable takes no prisoners. You could accidentally wipe a drive!

FYI: I formatted a 64GB SDXC card to FAT32 with fat32format.exe for use in my Sony Tablet S, and it worked perfectly. Something EVERYBODY says you simply cannot do: Not in Windows, not in Linux, and not in anything else. :D

If your SD card hardware integrity is good, this WILL correctly baseline format it to the bone.
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
fdisk is also very effective at formatting difficult drives if you know what you're doing, but it can be a bit tricky for some users.
[Sony Tablet S] pctektgg:
Thanks this worked for the sd card damaged message i was getting.

Ok now how does the sd card work on this sony tabley s, I thought I read you cant install apps on ii or something, so Is it just for putting pictures, documents, and videos on it for? thanks
[Sony Tablet S] blambo:
Hey good question pctektgg. I don't attempt to place apps on the external SD, if I take the card out the app won't work.

But, I do put lots of other stuff on my external 64GB SDXC card. Such as: Titanium backups (backed up re-installable apps too,) Movies, TV shows, eBooks, eMags, Music, Docs, Text files, etc. And just about anything and everything else that will go into a folder. Amazingly quick access. And, the Transcend 256GB SDXC cards are coming out next month, and are supposed to be even faster. Crazy!

Method: I make "ES File Explorer" folder shortcuts for each of my "sdcard2" saved folders and place them onto the various scrollable Sony App shortcut home panels.

Instant clean access. :cool: Something like this one, it's super easy:

So, personally, I really don't need an external application storage source. I just leave the app where it automatically installs, then use Titanium Backup (religiously) to create individually re-installable items (of all kinds). ;)
[Sony Tablet S] pctektgg:
Cool tips, Im not rooted is that titanium backup app only for rooted? Also so where do you go about getting your movies, ebooks, tv shows and such?

Most other tablet makers have released ICS.

Sony is very slow in releasing it.

I sold an Asus Transformer to buy Sony. Asus has already released ICS for the Transformer.
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Not actually really true. Asus have as they have the release device for ICS on Tablets (Transformer Prime) and therefore have had a while to prepare. Samsung, for example, who have so much of the Android Tablet market behind them, have not updated any of their devices, to my knowledge. Sony is actually doing quite well to have ICS out so soon, particularly for a device with such a customised OS image.
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
Sorry, that's just plain BS.

Honeycomb codebase is riddled with issues and HW acceleration is not fully implemented.

My Atrix (tegra2 so should be more or less identical performance) running ICS blitzes all over this tablet in terms of UI speed and smoothness - and its a hacked together beta. The browser - oh my god what a masterpiece. So I expect same results for this tab. Go over to the transformer forums for example and see how their tegra2 tab has been supercharged by ICS.

My (wife's) Desire developed a GPS problem as well. Eventually I had to disassemble the phone and bend the antenna contacts a little bit to fix the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
So there is no other solution?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rete:
In my case, no. The problem was not software or faulty hardware, but GPS antenna contacts that came loose (probably caused by dropping the phone).

I just posted this under another thread, but here goes again (this was a while ago and I can't recall exactly where all the contacts were that I bent slightly). If your phone is no longer under warranty it is a worthwhile procedure; it will save hundreds of dollars/euros if you can fix it this way. In my case the GPS eventually stopped working altogether - it would never see any satellites under GPS Status, never mind lock on.

I fixed it by opening up the phone and making sure all GPS connections were good. If you are reasonably handy you can follow these instructions to dismantle the phone:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU

The GPS antenna is shown at 2:47 (it has a connector at both ends - make sure that both are snapped into place).

But before you disassemble the phone that far, at 1:49 in the video ("Remove the antenna") try the following: when you have removed the antenna you will see several copper contacts (similar to the two vibrator contacts highlighted in the attached photo). I seem to recall there were 4 copper contacts under that antenna cover. Gently bend the contacts slightly upwards - this will either ensure better contact or (as with my phone) re-establish contact. To remove the antenna is very quick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
Awesome guide. However, since I'm only 15 I don't think I can do it. The tools that are required are currently not available...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rete:
It's not as complex as it seems - to remove the antenna you only need a Torx T5 screwdriver to remove the 2 screws. It will however void your warranty if you're still under warranty. In case it helps anyone else, you need 3 tools to disassemble the phone to the point where you can access the GPS antenna: a Torx T5 screwdriver, a small Phillips screwdriver (the type you get in cheap precision screwdriver sets) and a plastic guitar pick (to gently pry the phone apart starting at the indents provided in the phone's body).

Actually there are also contacts to be adjusted on either side of the camera, accessible at 2:11 in the disassembly video (and not only under the antenna at 1:49 in the video). These screenshots shows all the contacts I adjusted (in addition to the GPS antenna).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
I'm just curious because I just exchanged my transformer in and honeycomb is giving me alot of my apps back that weren't playing nice with ICs (gameloft mainly).

It would be nice to see a deodexed / zipaligned hc rom, because you can't unlock the bootloader unless you're updated to ics and it's difficult to find 8.x.x.x zips now.

Plus the gps toggle in the notification menu is nice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XHolyPuffX:
I second this. A honeycomb rom would make it a little easier on compatibility and what not. Even though some things might be slower..it'll still be nice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Seriously doubt it. No sense in it since ICS is alot better and optimized than HC. There's only like 2 people still on HC and that's for the games. So there's no demand for HC rom. Plus I believe the source code forbore was never released. Might as well forget HC and upgrade to ICS. Plus we got all them same games working on ICS with updated versions.

This should be in general section also. This section for developement only. Meaning roms,kernels n such. Not questions. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
Yup. ICS is hardware-accelerated, and open-source. Honeycomb is neither. No point going backward when app devs will have to go forward if they want to sell apps.
