[Epic 4G General] Jmax0420:
Uber thanks for the laugh I had a rough day and you cheered me up.....

But I must agree with the OP.... My little epic is a beautiful little piece of hardware backed up by an awesome group of devs. I think this will be my phone upgrade or not until they come out with a true predecessor :cool:

[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
You miss the point. Law of diminishing returns. How thin is thin enough? How thin is too thin to not feel good in the hand? I'll take something a little thicker with nice curves that cradles in my hand better than something that is ultra thin just because it can be. How light is light enough? A slider will always be a little thicker and a little heavier than a similar slate. The question is, at what size/weight is the trade off worth it to have the extra functionality/productivity of the keyboard. At the time, the evo was a squared off brick, the epic came in with a smaller footprint and lighter plus it had a keybosrd. But it was a little thicker. That was two generations ago. The droid 4 is pretty damn thin, and with some well used samsung plastic would be even lighter than it is. That's is an easy trade off for me over a gs3 or oneX.

Everyone in here has some love for a hard keyboard or why would they be in here? Then they seem to care more about what slab they'll get next. I prefer to hold off and keep lodging complaints/requests with sprint for a new slider. Then again, I held on to my i500 longer than most until I couldn't take not knowing who was texting me any longer. I just don't see how faster processors and bigger screens make me more productive than the keyboard, because so far they haven't outside having an extra icon row to play with on my photon which was easily negated because i needed the toggle widgets without the toggle inthe drop down menu.

Ha aha you got sucked into arguing with lost soul. Let it go. Your wasting your breathe
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
My bad. Don't pay much attention to who's worthwhile to banter with and not.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Predecessor means what came before like the moment, successor is something that comes later, like the epic two. Not trying to be grammar police, but thought it may help. I definitely agree though.
[Epic 4G General] Jmax0420:
Thank you for correction. I have four kids and worked 12 hour shift. I hope it was understood what I meant. Oh yeah and my day started with a special guest visiting my work to notify us that the new parent company that bought us in November and promised us that we will be open for years to come is shutting our doors in October. Been kinda rough day for me. So point is this is a rockass phone.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I am so sorry. I understand what you meant and shouldn't have corrected you. That sucks.
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
+1 he's right arguing with lost soul is a lost cause!
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
It would be nice if there was a successor like that. GS III with an unlocked bootloader, large 4.5" super AMOLED plus, quad-core Exynos and a 2K+ Mah battery with a 5-row QWERTY with an overall profile as thin or thinner than Droid 4 (salivating). Unfortunately, Samsung (or HTC or Moto) don't seem to think that KB is where it's at these days, and it is likely their market research supports their decision NOT to manufacture such a phone for the minority that would want it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
This is the SD card extension which apps get installed on when you install apps... if you don't have any on it then that's why... if you do them it wipes it. Its nothing to be worried about.

That is a normal error. People partition the sd card sometimes for certain apps to move apps to it. Only the few that have made that partition wont see that message.

My step moms old phone is bricked from OTA gingerbread. My friend is in need of a temporary phone and i want to loan her this droid 2. I've SBFed my phone (same DROID 2 bought same day) using Linux on a virtual machine and TBH Triple Threat FULL SBF for 2.3.20 . I cant seem to find the old SBF file (probably because it went away when i deleted the virtual machine) and i want/need it back! Id rather flash to FroYo than GB, and i cant find a SINGLE link that works! Can someone please point me to a working link or email me the sbf a chewjh412@gmail.com? Please!! I have dropbox too if you want to share a folder.

NOTE: Ive also tried using a .iso that an individual wrote. They took linux and wrote it to just flash an sbf on ones phone. So i burned the .iso to a CD (and DVD, both single writes :/ ) and cant get my 2005 Sana Rosa (sp?) Mac to boot from the freaking disk i made..

Is there a way to change that ugly ASUS boot splash logo screen whatever you wanna call it thingy? I'm sbkv2 so no nvflash.. but I'm rooted. Is there a file somewhere in /system/ that I can replace? Or?

Thanks for any help/guidance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Not possible then?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saav:
To the best of my knowledge, you don't need nvflash to change the boot animation. Just get a new one, rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/local. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I think he's talking about the splash screen, the one that appear before the bootanimation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
He is correct, I mean the splash screen, :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
I know it's gotta be possible! I just can't find an image in /system anywhere :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
The splash screen is in the bootloader/EBT. You can mod it and flash it through the staging partition. Whirly eyes has a thread in the dev section. I think it's much easier with nvflash since you can test it before writing it.

How would I go about flashing the new blob with the boot screen without NvFlash though, I have cwm I'm just a tad unsure and don't want to be accidentally flashing over something important... Thanks for the help
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You can pack up just the EBT partition as a blob and flash it through the staging partition. It will only overwrite your recovery if you include an SOS partition in the blob. The relevant threads are in the dev section.

sent from my transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Awesome, so I can just flash certain sections, doesn't have to be all. Thanks for the help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Okay, as far as which source to download, does it matter? Since I can't use NvFlash to extract mine I want to be extra careful.

I'm running AOKP Build 35 with Guevor v20 kernel or TestyMehIcs kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
I have a blob with just the EBT and the new screen made. It just says blob (not .EBT)

If I make this into a .zip and flash it, will it overwrite EVERYTHING or just .ebt? This is very important :/ I can't nvflash a brick and really want this to be clear. Should I rename it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
First off, there are no guarantees! As you said, without nvflash, you're screwed if you make a mistake, and it will be a real brick, not one of those, "help I turned off my tablet and I think it's bricked!"-type threads.

How did you pack the blob?

blobpack your_blob EBT blob_mod.EBT

You don't need to pack it up as a zip, you can just flash it through the staging partition. Not to sound condescending, but be sure you know what you are doing because the consequences are real. I truly think that it's great that you are heading down the Android! journey.

EDIT: I think I see where the confusion is coming from- most people think of the splash screen as the bootanimation. In this case, the splash screen is the Asus/nvidia logos without the spinning balls. If you change the bootanimation.zip, you will still see the splash screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Gah this is incredibly scary, damn Asus making Sbkv2 -_-!!

Sofar I havn't packed with blobpack, I've just used that spash image creator gui pointed to EBT then save as blob.

What I've done to this point:

Downloaded BlobTools.

Downloaded Latest .24 US

Unzip, Unzip, Copy blob

Use Blob unpack on blob

I did NOT get a blob.header for whatever reason? Or am I misreading something?

Found blob.ebt

Used This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232410&highlight=splash Splash screen patcher to open it.

Patched

Save as blob

I have a blob with no extention.

Did I do anything wrong? Now what?

Thanks!

Edit: Also the filesize of the blob before the patch and after is exactly the same. 1421KB
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
file extensions are a false indicator- what matters is the data format inside. A properly packed blob will start with msm-radio update, some blank space, and then some hex and text that indicates partitions and their size that are included in the blob. Take some blobs apart and see what's inside of them. Get a calculator and check the file sizes of the blobs inside. Then repack them to see if you get the same thing/order.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
This is a screen of the EBT blob that was saved by the app, MSM-Radio-Update, some 0s, then a whole lot of gibberish.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
That looks like a packed blob. I guess whirly eye's program packs it up for flashing. Notice the EBT part in the second line, and the fact that there aren't any other partitions like SOS, LNX, or APP.

sent while running with scissors
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
I unpacked just the EBT blob that I unpacked with blobunpack and opened it with his patcher then edited. Should be fine then I hope, if nothing messed up. :D

Scrolling through the rest, it just looks like EBT, I saw whirleyes left a watermark in quotes about the patcher before the image, and a section with the display text "cold-booting linux, unsupported bootloader, error, wipe data" (The options stuff) rest was blank or gibberish.

Is this primed to flash then? You said to flash through the staging partition, how would I go about this in Cmw Rouge xm recovery, do I need to pack a .zip, or what is the command to run?

Thanks majorly for all the help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
to flash using the staging partition- you need either terminal or adb access.

the commands are:

su

dd if=/your/blob/here of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 # the last chars are zero pee four

reboot

Use adb or file manager or magic to save your blob somewhere on your transformer.

As it reboots, you should see a blue progress bar to indicate that it is flashing. It will reboot again and hopefully you will see your new splash screen.

search around the forum for the staging partition- there are dozens of posts. Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Awesome all set! :D

While flashing this was a serious, "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!!!!!!!!" moment, since it took around 3 minutes. It worked perfectly though, and although the top logo is very slightly cut off, it's so much better than that non-customized company branding crap.

Thanks extensively for all of your help, and everyone elses!

Heres a screen of my new swagger:

I've also attached a .zip with the blob I used in it, you can modify it with the boot splash patcher programme if you're feeling adventurous, it flashed just fine using the above command! :D

Note: blob is from latest .24 US version. .EBT only.

Now the phone is not powering on. I did let it dry. Put it in rice and all that. I have lot of photos of my daughter on the phone and I was wondering if there's anyway of physically accessing the internal memory to get the photos.

Is there anyway I can retrieve the photos?

I would expect these things to survive a brief pool-dunking. I suggest you let it sit in the sun for a while with cover off and all cards out. If it is still dead, I suggest sending it to the unbrickable mod guy. If he can't bring it back, probably no one can.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
Oh but before you waste your time chasing ghosts, i just realized that if it is just a dead screen, you could just 'turn it on' and plug it in and the comp should say something about found hardware.. just make sure you have it completely off, ie take batt out for a couple secs, then put in and hold power button for a reasonable ampunt of time.

Good luck

Oh and one more thing, as a last resort, you can try booting uup the phone wwith the least amount of part plugged in.. the water may have damaged aa part which may now be shorting it and inhibiting boot. I would say that if possible, boot it just mb and power button and usb port (idk if its a separate module)... maybe if youre lucky, you can do what i said with the recovery-> mount usb storage like that

The unbrickable mod guy clearly knows vibrant hardware. If he can't get your data from the phone, then it probably can't be done. If you sent him two phones, he could probably move the flash memory chip to the live phone. Maybe Samsung could also do something. Probably cost more.

Update 2012\05\16

Removed blank bootmenu folder

Cleaned up init script, removed unsupported lines, added supported lines

Included SD Card Cache Tweak with 2048 value, to match io tweaks

**The lines weren't supported on Bravo Froyo Kernel, added new lines from /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched**

**If the removed lines are supported on GB Kernel, let me know and I'll make a zip for each kernel.**

**Just remove the last 2 lines of the init script if you don't want\need the SD Cache Tweak**

Update 2012\05\15

Removed Undervolt settings -- makes zip universal for Defy, Defy+, Bravo, and Milestone

SIO IO Scheduler now properly loads -- no market app needed now.

Original Post

I made this for the Motorola Bravo, but it should work just fine on the Defy.

This CWM compatible zip will install the DroidX smartassv2 and BOOSTEDassV2 cpu governors as well as the SIO Kernel Scheduler. While I've only tested this on CM9, it should work on ANY rom with init.d support and Defy 2nd-init Bootmenu....meaning all CM7\9 and Miui roms. I'm unsure if MS2Ginger and Stock Froyo have init.d support. It also undervolts the rom to 300@20, 600@40, and 1000@54. Those values work fine with CM9 on my phone, meaning no fc's due from being too undervolted.

To install, simply flash the zip in cwn and you're done. Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache isn't necessary.

To use the Governors, select the governor in the CM Performance Menu and select apply on boot, or use a CPU Governor program from the market. I recommend No Frills CPU Control --- its free, no ads, no bs permissions, and you can select the io scheduler.

To use the SIO Kernel Scheduler, install No Frills Cpu Control from the market and select SIO (or noop) from the bottom menu.

I haven't used SIO very much (5-10 mins now), but it seems to be working well. The noop scheduler works great, and is what I normally use; but I've always read good things about SIO (and wanted to use it), so I thought I'd include it as well.

I'd give thanks to the authors of the Governors and Schedulers, but I have no idea who wrote them....I only found them in Beanstown106's DroidX Miui V4 rom and they happen to work wonderfully on the Bravo.
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Testing...

Edit:I don't know what these two governors do... but I see them in the app...

bootmenu script entries are missing I'll try to edit...

[Defy Android Development] Hairo The Blue Mage:
They flashed fine?? as in the OP is says that it was tested on a bravo...
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I'm curious as well. I've tested the zip on Quarx2k's CM9 2012\05\12, and adb push tested on CM9 05\06, 05\09, and CM7 05\06 with no problems; but they were all done on a Bravo.

I also had damn good battery results with the BOOSTEDassV2 governor overclocked to 300@20, 700@42, 1100@55 on CM9....they were better results than the stock settings undervolted with Conservative governor. I suppose it was due to CLK2 being used efficiently in my real world tests; I usually get around 60% usage in CLK1, 25%in CLK2, and15% in CLK3 --- not counting Deep Sleep Mode.

@nogoodusername

bootmenu script entries are missing I'll try to edit...

I'm not sure how to edit the bootmenu entries, or I would.

I also have the InteractiveX Governor, but its for the GB kernel only according to what little information I can find. Could never get it to load on the Bravo.....but the Bravo is a Froyo Kernel only device. I've attached it to this post, just remove the .txt extension....
