Yeah, it's quite easy with any of the various root file manager apps. Just navigate to /system/customize/resource/ and rename (or delete) "ATT_bootanimation.zip" and "ATTSonicLogoNoSnap_Retail.mp3" to get rid of either/both the AT&T boot animation and the sound.

First thing I looked for with Root Explorer after gaining root access :D

Works like a charm. Gives me a small silver android animation.

Hello everybody,

I'd like to change my lock screen but when I tried to install Go locker it says the same as other apps " this app is not ^%%*$#( with your YP-G70 :( I'm going to burn this device :o anyway, I'd like to install a free lock screen apps that you recommend.

and also If anyone has a solution for this issue " This app is incompatible with your Samsung YP-G70."

Any help will be appreciated

:P
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fgcu340:
You have to side load go locker.

there's also milocker or magiclocker

It works ok but my Settings menu seems to be stuffed up! Accounts & Sync is no longer there? Anyone having this problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maxesxp:
mine is... im using hfp 2.2, which is based off cm7.2 rc2, and he didnt make any changes to it as far as im aware...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
I don't think hfp is based off of RC2, seeing how the RC2 like just came out a few days ago.

But yea I'm using it and I have that option. Wipe cache and reinstall.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
It is based off of CM7.2 RC2 :D he released an update a few days ago.

As for the OP, try re-flashing the ROM with a full wipe, maybe that will fix it. If that doesnt work, try re-downloading the zip and flash tthat one, maybe you got a bad download.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] syl0n:
This was resolved after a FULL wipe. Must be something weird on my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
Maybe Gapps was corrupted or needed to be reinstalled?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Try scrolling down the entire menu. If you don't see Accounts & Sync anywhere then you probably installed a corrupted ROM. Either the original download was bad or it got damaged during your download.

I went from CM7 RC1 (Oct 2011) to CM7 Nightly #225. Solid as a rock.

I've heard of problems with RC2. Install CM7 Nightly #225 over your current ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DrLagos:
Ditto

#255 is solid! RC2 caused me many issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
RC2 is giving me less problems than the previous nightly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bripod:
Hi all,

I'm still on the fence about rooting my t989 and so I'm looking for advice. I got the 2.3.6 update and I really want ICS but I'm willing to wait for it though. Also, I'm pretty conservative when it comes to risks such as rooting due to warranties, bricking, and losing functionality. However, I'll be traveling for a while and tethering could be handy and titanium backup has always been attractive to me. But what happens if ICS comes out? I think I loose root if I update OTA, but I should be able to get root again. I'm not a big fan of real 3rd party software because I don't want to work with bugs so if I got a new ROM, it may only be CM9 or similar as reliability is important to me. And then I don't want a new ROM if it doesn't use the Linux Kernel since Ubuntu is developing that OS to share that Kernel. Do I even need a new ROM? I think touchwiz is fine. Pages of apps are better than scrolling through them IMO.

So any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Root it unless you plan on running stock ics. Chances are the ota will be releases here before it hits your phone we have a couple really nice ics roms right now. Don't know what your waiting for lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
If you want to root, root. More than likely you will be able to download the stock ICS rom from here before you get it on your phone. As soon as one person gets it, our awesome devs will be on it like flys on ****, and we will see a stock rooted rom almost immediately.

Rooted mine several weeks ago. Tired of waiting for official ICS from T-Mobile and Samsung. Once the official version is released, the devs will have a rooted version available for flashing so you won't have to un-root.

My suggestion is to root. But don't sweat CM9 it is pretty buggy right now because its still beta and isn't officially supported on our phones. But there are plenty of stable ICS roms now and even if u don't care for the few bugs that some may have, there are also some amazing GB rooms out there too.

Just my 2 cents.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bripod:
But I don't NEED a new ROM do I? Doesn't it just change the GUI? Basically I just want tethering and freeze bloat apps and ads, but a battery life boost would be great. How much does it change under the hood to expand capability? From what I can tell, root apps are the only thing that expands features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diego9016:
Root and install a rom... If you think your phone is good, with a rom you'll see your phone is just great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bripod:
Sorry for all my questions but is the kernel held within the ROM? And whatever ROM I choose, I can just flash to different just like that huh? Like it's an easy process?

My brother has Juggernaut, it didn't look any different than touchwiz except for flashy little things like the screen turn off and stuff. I just need function, not flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diego9016:
Some roms com with their own kernels, like TDJ's ones... You can flash a rom and then change it for another, but you have to wipe your data for a clean install (there's always the option to backup your info)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] animaleyez:
I for one will just wait. I don't see anything at this point that's worth me rooting the phone for. Maybe some battery improvements but I don't think it'll be that much of a difference.

Not only that but if they can add some of the newer features in the S III then maybe I'd root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
No offense, but if that's the only thing you see rooting useful for, you should do some more research before you do ever root. There are so many advantages that I wouldn't even know where to begin. And seriously, don't take my comment in a bad way, I'm just saying you won't enjoy it until you know what you can do with it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Karakoram2:
Just root it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bripod:
Ok, I'm planning on rooting, still don't know about ROMs yet. Juggernaut looks best right now though as I want stability and function/usability. If I flash another rom, I essentially have to back up everything, which would primarily be applications, to where I can relatively quickly get them back on my new ROM correct?

Also, is there a ROM that can read/write/type arabic correctly, as in, with all the letters conjoined? I'm not sure if it's a system, font, keyboard, or application issue.

Also, what does a kernel do and why would I use a 3rd party over stock. Are 3rd party kernels still based on linux?

update: I just rooted and it's pretty awesome so far. No new ROMs yet but I have titanium pro, tether, wifi tether, and set cpu will follow soon. It was easier than I thought. I guess all the "YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE" talk intimidated me a bit.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Frank_C:
If you're thinking about a Gingerbread ROM like Juggernaut, the Malice ROM from Deficient Dev works pretty well.

Last time I checked, none of the ICS versions allow for backlight notification. So if you'd like that feature, you'll have to wait for Samsung to release the ICS kernel and one of the devs can add that in.

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's not really a comparison.

The GN has the worst AMOLED display Samsung's ever created, a crappy camera, ****ty battery life with the standard battery, and an outdated SoC. It's only outstanding feature compared to any more modern phone is that it's pure Google and will always get the latest updates. That, and at $349 U.S. unlocked, it's a great value. I passed on it when it first came out because of the h/w specs and reviews and now that the next-gen SoC's are out I'm glad I did. Software comes and goes, h/w is forever.

Personaly i think it is a little early to talk about next Nexus.

And there are to many variables. Google took Moto so i guess they could build on that.

From this looks like there could be multiple Nexus devices in the works which would be rather superb.

Am I correct in thinking that this would make more drivers available for the latest versions of the OS thus making it easier for the community to support other hardware with custom ROMs?

i.e. the S2 doesn't get JellyBean but other phones with the same hardware are released with JellyBean, resulting in the drivers for the hardware in the S2 being released and as a result the community being able to release a JellyBean ROM for the S2.
[Android General] ATHORNFAM2:
I personally wasn't impressed with the nexus and google tracking my info so I got a thunderbolt instead
[Android General] eksasol:
It is true that all mobile phone is a massive data mining device, whether its Android, Windows or ESPECIALLY iPhone. But that just doesn't make "Sense". First off you are using Android, its an OS by Google, they are notorious for data collection. 'Sense' by it self has lots of data mining, then there was the whole debacle with HTC and CarrierIQ. I do not know if Verizon had CIQ on their HTC devices, however, haven't you heard about Verizon and how they release your private info to the fed (all carrier are required to that anyway).

The fact that the Galaxy Nexus is an international unlocked device, if you have the GSM version, ATT don't have its IMEI in their database and it don't have Carrier IQ installed.

The only way you can stop any smartphone from scanning you is to buy a device with no internet, gps, phone functions at all. Completely offline. I said especially iPhone because its a closed OS and you never know what Apple does to you, they actually tried to patent things like the phone taking your pictures and send GPS location when you jailbreak it. At least with Android, you have the SDK to work with.

[Android General] Jimlarck:
The Sammy Galaxy Nexus I didn't like, shows potential but vanilla looks too dark. Why'd you think I have an HTC Evo 3D white with a White 3600mah battery. And sense doesn't show too much dark. I don't know why. I can't stand going through my brother's Epic 4G with CM9 for more than 10 minutes.
[Android General] lowandbehold:
Honestly, I highly doubt that any CDMA carrier will get another Nexus device. I am just speculating so don't go crazy here. But the fact that Google had to drop AOSP support to Sprint and Verizon devices is not a good sign. And the fact that Google now sells their own devices also supports that fact. They haven't sold their own since the Nexus One...and if you can find a CDMA version of that phone, you could make alot of money.

[Android General] inadequate:
Apparently up to five different OEMs are going to be used for the next Nexus phone. And there are not going to be any carriers for the next Nexus phone..so everyone's going to have to dish out the full price of the phone.

[Android General] ET3RNA4:
Anyone else think this is a bad/good idea? Let's say I buy a GN today from the Google Play Store ($349), and use that until the next nexus get's announced (November) Which I believe is quite far away considering we're only in July ( still 4 + months), and once the new Nexus get's announced I'll be able to sell my GN that I bought for atleast $300 if I keep it in good condition (It'll only have been like 4 months so hopefully no damage) and sell my current phone (G2X) for even $150, If I put down another $100-200 I could get a brand new Nexus phone unlocked directly from the Play Store. That way I'll have an upgrade for now (considering my g2x can't even properly run ics) and for the next 4+ months, and if the new nexus phone doesn't look good (God Forbid) than I'll just stick to what I have which'll be a Galaxy Nexus :)

But then, Samsung took over...and didn't let go.
[Android General] chaki-:
Come on man. I think that is not even worth mentioning........:rolleyes:
[Android General] Allanitomwesh:
Save your money. Look at it this way,you have $350 now,and 150 in your gx2 (which is a neat phone that'll work fine for the next 4 months.) So basically your at $500 and have only

to save up $100 in 4 months.By buying the gnex you will be buying a loss (it will depreciate in value in the short period you own it) and you'll end up with more to raise ($50-100 more depending on the condition of your now USED phone)

Google won't rape you on price like a certain company named after a fruit. $550 you're good, save more if you want the car dock and fancy extras,or just a massive 64 gig memory card to prove a point.
[Android General] topched:
I am kinda debating the same thing almost. My contract expires soon and I've had my iPhone 3GS for 3 years now. I was thinking about renewing my contract and taking the G Nexus, but it seems like a waste when Google offers it for $350 in the States. Canadian mobile providers are still charging at least $550-600 to buy it outright.

I was also considering getting the Nexus from Google, and then renewing my contract whenever the next iPhone comes out so I can sell it immediately. Then wait for the next Nexus phone that I really want, and buy that. I think I might just end up using the 3GS for now, then upgrading to an iPhone so I can sell it, and then buying a Nexus from Google.
[Android General] Allanitomwesh:
By all means renew and sell. It's free money. Google Play prices are sweet. Very competitive. I have no issues with the shop.
[Android General] Lesicnik1:
I'm going to get the Galaxy Nexus next months, off contract (Not enough money for a stronger phone, but I think it should last me :p), then my carrier has this deal, if I don't buy a new phone after two years, I get 10% off my monthly contract fee :)
[Android General] ET3RNA4:
hmmm...That may be true about the depreciation price of my GNex, but wouldn't the price of my G2X also go down 4 months from now? And, the major thing is I'll have the Gnex in my hands in like 5 days...If I do end up waiting 4 months, and there's no new announcement of a new Nexus then I basically lost on both ends...I'm stuck with my g2x for another 4 months, and I'll ultimately be late 4 months to Jellybean as well. Another contributing factor is I'm still on a contract till April! So the Gnex is perfect for me cause it's cheap and unlocked so I can use it until April then upgrade to whatever I want with a contract...However there's also rumors flying around about the next Nexus device to also be sold GSM unlocked (I'm on T-Mobile BTW), and that will take away the whole contract part entirely!

So I'm really confused on what to do. I can either;

1. Buy Gnex right now, then when new Nexus phone get's announced sell Gnex and G2X and buy new Nexus Unlocked with some extra cash.

2. Stick with G2X for 4 months till Next Nexus phone get's announced and buy that unlocked, but if rumors aren't true I'm screwed...
