Hi people,

first, I don't speak english very well.

I will show you how to change the bootanimation on froyo 2.2 or gingerbread 2.3.X.

What you need?

Root

Stock ROM

Root Explorer

bootanimation.zip is the set of several images that formed a "video" at start of your device.

bootanimation.zip: within this file can contain two folders:

part0 (first part of the animation)

part1 (second part of the animation)

Note: Some have only the folder bootanimation part0

And a text file called:

"Desc"

Within this file there are some parameters:

320 480 15 p p 1 0 0 0 part0 part1

Subtitles:

Red: Size of the picture, regardless of the size that it is within the file "bootanimation.zip" the size of it on the screen of your device will be determined in the field, with 320 width and 480 height. In Galaxy Mini you will use 240x320.

Green: 15 is the time in which images appear, the faster that number, the faster the "video" boot.

Blue: It means how many times the animation will appear in the folder, ie, p 1 0 part0, the animation of a folder will appear as 0.

Purple: The same thing the Blue, but in a folder, ie, the end of the animation.

3 - Understand how to create a bootanimation.zip

1 - you have the image in jpg or png named as you want as long as the end of each name finds the numbers in sequence. EX: 000, 001, 002, 003 ...

2 - Compress images using WinRAR like this:

compct

Filename: bootanimation.zip

File Format: ZIP

Method of storage: Store

4 - Okay, now having bootanimation.zip, copy to SD;

5 - Open Root Explorer and navigate to the directory "system / bin

6 - Look for the "samsungani" or "samsungloop", press and hold over the file, and select "MOVE";

7 - Browse to the folder "sdcard" and tap "PASTE"

Warning: If you have problems with

"Warning: can not've moved because the file system is read-only"

Press the right corner of Root Explorer

"Mount R / W" to be "Mount R / O!

8 - Back to the folder "system / bin" and browse to the "bootanimation"; - Navigate to the folder "sdcard" and tap "PASTE"

9 - Rename the file "bootanimation" to "samsungani" or "samsungloop" (depending on the file that you moved to SD in step 6)

10 - Now navigate to the "sdcard" and copy the bootanimation.zip;

11 - Navigate to the folder "system / media" and paste the bootanimation.zip here.

12 - rename the 2 files with extension. "MGQ" (removing the "g" at the end);

Reboot and enjoy! :D

I hope you like it! ;)

is this fully working,cause i tried alot of tutorials regarding changing boot animation in stock rom,im using XWKTN 2.3.6,rooted..i have backups of samsungani and bootanimation,the last tutorial i did was.changing bootanimation file to samsungani and delete the samsungani in system/bin and replace bootanimation in system/media..i have nothing to replace in system media,ive only see bootsamsungloop.qmg and samsungloop.qmg?i will just rename that qmg to qm?even though i have no original bootanimation ..just palce my downloaded bootanimation in system/media?..i usually ended up in start up bootanimation,its just stuck there in previous tutorial i follwed.so i have to reflash again..hehehe

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thinguy:
I'm on AT&T so don't know about the various TMobile compatibility but I tried all the ROMs right before ICS leaked. I've found Saurom to be very nice. It's stable, fast, nice themes and addons built in. I did add Go Launcher.

I'd recommend trying them all. It's sooo easy to install and run one. If you don't like it switch back to another one.

im hoping im not the only one having this trouble.when i try to conect my one-x to pc via B-T im getting some sort of error about bluetooth peripheral device drivers .when i conect my sensation(also running ICS) doing it exactly the same way it pairs,conects and everythings fine.im hoping there will be some sort of update for the drivers (being the phones only just been released) cause when i checked my pc everything was up to date.if anyones had and solved the same problem please share.thanks,neville(jaibra00).

Ok as its known to arc users there ICS is coming so i had a little peek at what it includes

The UI is the same generally as the S but an idea for developers maybe to add there music lockscreen, fast text on call and the task viewer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJbD...sNYR7XJ8&annotation_id=annotation_433622Video from SonyDev showing there beta so ideas from there maybe useful to any ICS creators :)

Good luck guys have fun!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragontology:
I'm on my third Android phone, and the last two are still "active" (?) in Google Play, on the website. With my first phone, I didn't have to "Choose which device to install on". Now I do, and I want to know how to get rid of the other two devices. I don't have access to them and never will again. I sent the first one to a dev on SDX, across the country. The other one I only had for six days, and traded for my current device. So, there's no reason for them to be up there. (Both were wiped before I got rid of them, so neither of them can even get into my Google account.)

P.S. Is there any way to get Google to forget I ever had an app? I've tried a bunch of apps that didn't work and I really don't like them in my "All" column under My Apps, in the phone app. But that's not as big a deal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
I think this will work :D

Open the Play Store from your PC

Go to Options (right upper corner, a gear icon) and select the option that appear.

Click on Devices tab, and untick the devices that you don't wish to see :cool:

About forget all downloaded apps... sorry, I dunno how do it :confused:

I wil confirm, after extensive past research that beyond hiding the device on play, you cannot remove it, or your previously downloaded apps from play.

It's really annoying and renders the my installed apps thing basically useless after a while...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrock2004:
I find it shocking that you cannot de-associate a device from your account. I wonder if there could be dangers of getting my apps to the next user of that device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstylazz:
No your safe on that matter, as you should be doing a factory reset from within settings options before passing/selling it on.

I believe the reason Google do not allow you to remove devices is statistic based as they are able to make android seem more popular than it actually is by combining both active and inactive devices to increase its market share. (Just my opinion on the matter not an actual fact)..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrock2004:
Well, I did do the factory reset so the data is wiped. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragontology:
None. They would need to sign into your Google account. Factory reset the device before passing it on and there will be no danger of that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhetorician:
I experienced device association issues when I tried to listen to the music I have linked with my Google Music account. To deactivate a device, go to play.google.com/music and select settings. Click settings and then it will allow you to "deactivate" devices.

If that's the case, it would seem I'm a great customer.

Trial&Errors when trying to fix market on my N7A2 left 11 inactive devices in my list, in addition to 2 phones I've sold long time ago, plus the active phone and tablet..

Find it a bit annoying having them there in the list, but atleast they can be unchecked so that they dont appear in the list when you install apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcogger:
Even when you disable a device so it's no longer visible, it's just a matter of time until it comes back again. They don't stay hidden indefinitely :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lellobello:
*************EDIT, this is no longer valid and hasn't been for a while. Google does not allow removal of devices from Google Play at least since 2014**********

I have been looking for a solution for this too.

Here's my findings:

1. if you still have your phone with you, delete the cache and data of Google Services Framework app (just as you do when trying to force an update check), and it will be gone. Of course you need to be signed in, otherwise it doesn't do anything. Yet, dont do anything with google play, otherwise the phone will be reappearing. Just reset it and forget it.

2. if you already got rid of the phone, simply wait 9 months (not one day more not one day less) since your last used date. I have verified and confirmed this time frame with 4 devices now. Took an extra week only for a tablet to disappear.

Solution to remove app from "All apps" on Google Play

Hey, guys!

I found the way to remove an app from the download history.

On your device, go to Google Play > My Apps > All, then tap a gray icon on the right.

(I've taken a few screen shots on my device, but the forum doesn't let me either attach the images or post the links. So I had to tweak the links: they'll work removing the extra spaces.)

Check the images on these links:

All apps > img836. imageshack. us/ img836/ 9141/ googleplaymyappsall.png

Remove app > img607. imageshack. us/ img607/ 4403/ googleplaymyappsallremo.png

Congratulations. You found a new feature that was added in the last play store update. :good: Unfortunately it got nothing to do with this thread.

Yes, it does have to do with this thread, because Dark Reality added a "PS" about it. Since this thread is old, I figured this feature wasn't available at the time of the post, but I posted it anyway because I thought it would be helpful to someone looking for something related to the "PS" in Dark Reality's first post here.

I'm not replying again about it in this thread because I would be just wasting more time. ;)

I just got the same T-Mobile device showing up, and I tracked it down by the date it arrived to the date I tried BlueStacks, so it is pretty certain that this is where it came from.

The question now is - is this harmless or is it some sort of malware? If the latter then I suppose the only way out is to do a factory reset on my Nexus 7 and start again with a new account. Any advice greatly welcome.

When you wipe the phone before trading it in, that assigns a new device ID. To get to your appls you havr to have the deice ID and your google account info. Just do two factory resets and don't worry about it.

I don't see how it helps anyone for Google to refuse to allow me to remove a device from my account that was stolen from over a year ago. I already went through enough grief between searching for it then realizing it had been stolen then resecuring all my stuff. And no, those locator apps never did find it. Looks like they went online with it exactly once, a couple of days after it was stolen. I suppose they could have flashed it if they knew how. Then I get stuck with it on my list forever and they go on their merry way. Doesn't seem right.

Answer

From your cellphone or tablet, open the play store app and go to My Apps>All Apps. When you get there, click on the "x" on the upper right corner of the card of each app. The apps you choose will be deleted from your apps, but you will only be able to delete the ones that are no longer installed on your device. Hope this helps! :cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobBro:
Yes you are right about the way to get rid of apps. For a short time you could do that from your PC in Play Store but every time they "update" Play Store they give some good new feature and take one away. Kinda got to wonder why they make such a simple thing so hard :eek:

As to deleting a device in the Play Store-Some time early this year you could do it-not just hide the device but delete it. Here again when the "updated" the Play Store they took that feature away-it was very hard to find.

Now I have 3 phones and 2 tablets that I flash all the time and almost each time I flash them there will be a new device in my account. At one time I had 30 or 40 devices listed and/or hid.

Now you think a "little' company like Google could figure this out :silly:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoandroid:
Thanks to this thread, I learned that the 2 unknown devices listed on my Play account are references to PC applications. So that is comforting. But aside from the "hiding" option, which I've read several times doesn't persist anyway, is there any way to remove these PC-associated "devices" if we are no longer using the PC app that triggered their existence?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dNik17:
If each devices is created when a new android device id is created without a factory reset first e.g. only wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before flashing a custom rom or official rom from another region etc, then do these 'multiple devices' (same hardware different firm/software) could be removed by using an app such as Titanium Back up that allows you to change (or more likely) restore previous android ID?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spud37:
So if I am reading this correctly you can no longer hide or delete unused phones? I currently have three phones listed and I only use one.

Is there any possibility or am I just stuck with the unused apps and old phones?
