im using the latest ruu leak (ics) and everytime i open the keyboard to type the input keyboard icon shows up in the statusbar... anyone else have this problem? how can i fix it?
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
anyone
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Mine does this as well. I just thougt it was an ics thing.
[HTC Rezound] Tweezydak1d:
It is an Ics thing nothing u can do about it without a mod
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
They got rid of the long press on text box to change input method...its in a pull down on status bar now
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
Ok, thanks.. thats lame tho lol!
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
From what I heard is that if you only have 1 keyboard enabled then it won't show up. For me though, when I only have 1 keyboard enabled sometimes the icon will be there and sometimes not...buggy.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Its probably because HTC sense screws with ics too much
[HTC Rezound] archalon:
FWIW - It doesnt happen on SlimRom with the default keyboard, but does happen with the TouchPal keyboard.....
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
good to know. im planning on flashing slimrom in a couple days after the verizon engineers heck out LTE in my area
[HTC Rezound] *Madmoose*:
I could be completely wrong about this but my understanding of the keyboard icon in your taskbar was happening because you have an "installed" keyboard. It's not stock. The keyboard application is what is putting that icon there.
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
Well, lets just say Im not going to use the HTC keyboard.. I installed the ICS keyboard from the market, and am using it until, I decide if I wanna flash a new rom (aka slimrom) that has the aosp keyboard built in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickeds3:
I must humbly ask for everyone's help. I bought a Galaxy S3 (Sprint) today and rooted no problem. I downloaded font changer and Rom Toolkit. I changed a font and clicked "reboot" and the phone hung on the reboot screen--after the sprint logo and says "Samsung" with the blue light going up and down in intensity.

I tried a cache clear and data wipe, neither of those worked. I also tied reflashing the root ROM. That didn't work.

My most recent steps were to flash the stock recovery and stock ROM. It still hangs. I can get to recovery and am able to flash with ODIN. What should I do next?!

If nothing else, is there a way to reset the flash counter so I can maybe get Sprint to fix it? The only way I saw is to download an app, which won't work.

Any help is appreciated, I've tried all that I could think of.

UPDATE: Maybe there is no ROM installed anymore? I'm downloading the full Omega ROM. Anyone have a link to the sprint stock rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
My only suggestion is to do a full wipe again (not just cache mind you) and then install the latest ROM for a Sprint phone one more time. Did you not do a nandroid backup that you could restore? Always do a nandroid backup before messing with any part of the phone for this very reason. I'm not harping. I'm just saying in the future it will save you from this issue.

P.S. This is the International thread. You better not be flashing your Sprint S3 with an International S3's ROM. That's a big no-no...

UPDATE:

*sigh*

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 Android Development Thread

Omega doesn't have a ROM for the Sprint version. You need to pay more attention before flashing your ROM's. Get a ROM from the above link, and never do anything without doing a nandroid backup first. Seriously.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickeds3:
I think I'm screwed

I reinstalled the Sprint software twice before I tried the other rom. Nothing worked. The Omega rom has me completely bricked.

I ordered a jig to see if that helps and will take it to a cell phone store in town (not factory) to see if they can get it into download mode. I have the sprint .tar bootloader thanks to this forum.

This was my first root and I never heard of the nandroid backup. I hope I can fix this for a $100 bucks and it isn't a $1000 mistake.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
1. Do you currently have the stock recovery or a custom recovery (e.g. CWM)? If you have stock recovery go to question 2, otherwise go to question 4.

2. Are you able to flash custom recovery via appropriate steps? If yes go to question 3, otherwise I think you're screwed.

3. Flash custom recovery.

4. In custom recovery do a full wipe.

5. Download THIS ROM to your SD Card and then flash in recovery.

6. See if the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved that's fantastic. If the issue is not resolved then I'm pretty sure you're screwed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickeds3:
Thanks

Thanks for that! Tomorrow I'm taking it to a custom cell phone repair/unlock store to see if they have a jig. If they do I'll try these steps, if not we'll see if my carrier is understanding...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apisfires:
I think moderator in development section should make compulsory to any developers make very big warning to anyone who read development thread. Many case carrier based phone come here to ask and flash ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
The developers can't make it any more clear. The user is already clicking on Samsung Galaxy S III I9300. That isn't the phone they have. The developers can't be held responsible for users that refuse to read.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I've done a couple custom bootanims for my G1 back on like Cupcake, but the format changed a few times and I lost track. This is pretty cool though... I love throwback stuff... And I never'd have thought of a BIOS ... cool!

I would have two humble requests....

1) If you're going to have a throwback to PC bootup, perhaps an OS "scrolling progressbar" style logo after the BIOS bit in lieu of the pulsing MT4GS text (something like what Windows does, and admittedly I haven't watched a Mac boot up in a while, and Linux style bootup can be had with logcat live from Market). Maybe a throwback Andy, but without the whole circle animating like previous CMs... just a Windows style progress bar under it :)

2) Can a landscape version be made?

But even still, cool as it is now! Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
That's a great idea!

I'll come up with an OS scrolling style progress bar or something similar soon, I'll try to make something original (or let me know if you want the plain windows one instead, whatever looks better.)

I've never seen a landscape BIOS boot animation for Android before, I'll look forward into making one, it's definitely possible and shouldn't be too difficult since I already have all the resources.

I'm also going to update the graphics in BIOS boot, and make the letters a bit sharper :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rilla1620:
nice really like this reminds me of old school Dos 6.22
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
A "Loading" like feature has been added on the extras, let me know if you prefer the old windows slider look.

I'm still looking into the landscape version.

Also, if anyone has an interesting concept for a boot animation, let me know!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Thanks for these. I've always liked the BIOS boot animation, and the cm9 touch at the end is slick.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
whoa! those are awesome! you can use mine old ones if you want lol! nice work though, seriously!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Could you make a bios bootanimation (the first one) compatible with stock roms? I am running Bulletproof. Also is it possible to make it so it doesn't say CM9, since I am on Bulletproof. If this is too much to ask, I understand. These are great, thanks for the work!:D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm currently uploading a landscape version, and a version that should work with stock. (untested)

also, I updated the BIOS animation to make it look a bit nicer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Thanks for this! I like v1.1! Looking forward to the landscape version.

Question: even though it's obviously mt4gs could this possibly work on other hardware that's running cm9? The file format should be the same across devices and this would make it appropriate for tablets as well, being landscape.

I did this boot animation on the G2. If audio works for boot animations on the MT4GS, this would be fun to show off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
I uploaded a version that should work with stock (And the CM9 text is removed there), let me know if it works!

Thanks! I haven't had the chance to look at your old ones, but I'll look into porting them.

I liked the CM9 loop at the end too, I had the idea in my head and BAM there it was. Anyhow, the stock version has the same loop except that it doesn't include the "CM9" branding, adding that to the OP now, lol!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
I have a TF201 Transformer Prime and I was considering making a BIOS animation for my tablet as well, it'll look super nice.

Also, I uploaded the landscape version and bumped the version number to 2.0 (the second screen looks a bit cleaner now.) This boot animation should work on any device that's running an AOSP-based ROM (correct me if I'm wrong) since the location of the bootanimation is defaulted to system/media. The only thing that might not work is the Flashable due to the fact that different devices may have different mount points.

The resolution is 480x800 for the portrait one, and 800x480 for the landscape one. A device with a lower resolution might struggle displaying the images, a device with the same resolution would do just fine (but remember, it's MT4GS branded.) And a device with a higher resolution would probably play it smoothly, but it'll look a bit ugly, small, or stretched.

Anyways, thanks for the awesome feedback! :D

Sweet! I'm going to try to get it running with Audio, I'll let you know if I figure it out ( I haven't seen a boot animation with audio on the doubleshot before.) I believe enabling boot audio is ROM-Specific, I'll look into it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
audio in bootanimations will work for cm9 and aokp as long as you put them in system/media and name them android_audio.mp3

Thanks! I can't wait to start messing with these: http://www.soundjay.com/ :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
This reminds me...

I had one with audio for my G1, where it had green text appear on the black background one character at a time, but fast. With each character was a little beep. It was similar to the techie computer text effect that Hollywood loved so much in the 80s and 90s.

The text was like "owner info" mixed with "in case of emergency" but the trick was getting the audio to sync with the characters. I never quite got it to match up. In the end, I gave up on sync and just made a generic sound at about the right time, and later it occurred to me that the bootup was never the exact same one time to the next. Near the end of the anim, the audio was always quite noticeably out of sync.

I wasted days on that project. The concept is simple but it is so much work!

Ha, that first one is super cool. Love it. Thanks! :o
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
That concept sounds amazing, if me or anyone could get that to work that would be sick. The problem is, some ROMs boot faster than others, and a Hot Boot is about a quarter faster than a regular reboot. A working, but boring solution, would be to make a boot animation where the cursor is constantly moving so that Audio would always match no matter what.

I am really digging these HTC ones! I've never seen them before but they are really great! Thanks for bringing them to our attention and making them flashable for folks here;) I tried doubling the time on the logcat one (looping the first part twice on V1) but it didn't agree with me lol!

For those wanting ones that are for stock, ICS, CM9 etc... you can just pull the bootanimation. zip and place it the in the appropriate folder /system/media, data/local, system/customize/resource, etc... might save the OP some sanity;)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
The boot animations *should work for every ROM as long as the bootanimation.zip has the right name. I had to add htc_ infront to get it to work on MikXE but it was simple enough with root explorer
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
These are both correct. The boot animation does work with every ROM, However for some ROMS the name has to be changed as well as the folder in which the boot animation is located. For example, in CM9 the boot animation is located in system/media, and named bootanimation.zip and in Stock it is in system/customize/resource and named TMUS_bootanimation.zip

I'm guessing that in MikXE it's in system/media but named htc_bootanimation.zip? Let me know so that I could update my thread and let users know :D

Glad to know it works, thanks for the feedback! :)

Haha, love it ! I'll be adding this boot animation to the OP, as well as the others mentioned a few pages back, soon. I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't been able to log in as much, but I should be able to update this thread soon with these and hopefully others. Thanks!

I have a silly question. The BIOS one is pretty neat and I was rocking that for a long time, but I've upgraded to CM10 now. Is there a way to change that so it says CM10 instead of 9 now? :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
I have even better idea: how about making a "universal" BIOS with proper phone's specs? (not with some overclocked MHz CPU info but the actual info, and without any specific ROM's version informations).

@overhauling - thanks for taking my old request and making a BIOS Boot for MT4GS, I really appreciate it.

I've been using "BIOS Boots" on all of my phones since the very first one appeared in 2008, IMO they are the most apropiate Boot Screens for "smartphones" (since they all are basically a mini-computers with added phone).Just FYI: usually they all had actual "factory" specs being displayed, which made them pretty much universal for any ROM.

I hope it is not too much to ask for the same in your BIOS Boot Screen too? Now that I finally rooted my MT4GS I would really like to have a BIOS Boot Screen on it too...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
I've been having very busy days lately, but hopefully I can satisfy both requests this weekend. It will be done. :)

For the making of the universal BIOS, the only thing that needs to be done is the fixing of the CPU speed and the removal of ROM brandings? Let me know if you find anything else that's off.

No problem, got to always help the community however I can :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:

CyanogenMod-Based ROMS: (Yes, Including AOPK) Rename the .zip posted above to: bootanimation.zip , and place it in system/media (Replace any other boot animation there)

OR Flash this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18858783/signed_BIOSGENERIC.zip

Stock ROMS: Rename the .zip posted above to: TMUS_bootanimation.zip , and place it in system/customize/resource (Replace any other boot animation there)

MikXE: Rename the .zip posted above to: htc_bootanimation.zip , and place it in system/customize/resource (Replace any other boot animation there)

Will update OP once somebody confirms that the animations are working, happy flashing :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
Tried this with CM9.1 R8, worked fantastically. Didn't flash it, just put it in the folder you said and renamed the old one. Booted up and ran normally.

Truly impressive - thanks very much.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iceolate:
I flashed the cm10 one. Works great, thanks :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
In my system/customize/resource (stock ROM, rooted) there are both hTC_bootanimation.zip and TMUS_bootanimation.zip (also there are two sets of _downanimation.zip too).

However for some reason I can't delete or overwrite any of them (tried OI File Manager, and File Explorer), so I can't tell you yet is it working. But I did open the universal file and I inspected all the jpegs inside and IMO it all looks good :) Will get back to you once I figure out why I can't overwrite or delete files there.

/edit

:o of course the problem is S-ON.

Darn, just when I thought I'm done futzing with my phone, now it seems I will have to go through the whole "wire trick" process to get S-OFF just to install BIOS Boot Splash... it's always something with them smartphones, isn't it ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
Don't know about those two, but in Root Explorer you have to select "mount r/w" before you can modify anything. I didn't think S-on was a restriction to this sort of thing - plenty of people flash new ROMs and presumably get a new boot animation while S-on. Hope you sort it out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
I'd love to see a blend of HTC version 1 & version 2. I tried it myself but didn't have any luck which is strange because I've made them before with no issues:confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Stock ROMs will use the TMUS_bootanimation.zip, CM-based ROMs use the HTC_ name. If you are rooted, you need to enable R/W permission, default is R/O.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Thanks for info.

But to clarify: this is what I have in that folder (among other wallpapers and other files):

hTC_bootanimation.zip (452kB) (yes, it is spelled exactly like that)

hTC_downanimation.zip (784kB)

TMUS_bootanimation.zip (2MB)

From what you guys are saying, I gather that I shouldn't have both HTC_...zip and TMUS_ ...zip, is that correct? Or I misunderstand, and I should have both, but because I have stock ROM I need to replace only the TMUS_ zip (and don't touch the HTC_...zip) ? ? ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Having both in there isn't going to cause any problem (other than taking up space). The stock ROM will use the TMUS file, a CM-based ROM will use the HTC file. I've never seen them mix the case like hTC before, not sure if CM looks at case or not. If it does, then using lower-case "h" would probably disable the use of that animation. That's just a guess, though, it could be case independent.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
The case is right and it is posed to be hTC_

That's all I know about boot animations. Hell I can't figure out why paranoid has a ugly white box at the end
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ryotaru:
Hi overhauling, can you make a stock compatible of the HTC Boot Animation (either version)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
When I run any CM rom, I've put my custom animation in as HTC_bootanimation.zip and it works perfectly. I tested it with lower-case "h" and it didn't work, booted up with the default CM animation. I've tried it with CM9.1 and CM10. I have the same file named TMUS_bootanimation.zip for use on stock-based roms.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
It's also ROM specific to so we are both right. I'll see if i can find all the PM's back and forth of someone telling me I was wrong on the case only to see he was
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
You are correct, it is definitely ROM specific, that's why the stock-based ROMs will use the TMUS files.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
Has anyone managed to get any of the BIOS boot animations to work with the latest AOKP release? this is my first time trying to run an alternate animation and it seems no matter how I try to do it I keep getting a default android boot animation Looks like:

I have tried flashing the downloaded .zip, and have tried placing the bootanimation.zip from within the download to /system/media using ES File Explorer. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Try extracting the bootanimation.zip and copying it to /data/local

Alternatively, AOKP should have an option under ROM Control [General UI] that let's you set up a boot animation from the source bootanimation.zip file.

Also, if you're going to copy it using a file explorer make sure to set adequate permissions.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
hmm well I copied the new bootanimation.zip from /system/media to /data/local (didn't extract the bootanimation.zip containing the images, was that correct?) and had no luck still. I've also tried to use the AOKP boot animation selector in settings, but it seems all it does is make a backup of the current bootanimation.zip in /system/media and not import the new one.

As far as I'm aware my ES file explorer has the right permissions. it seems to successfully edit things in the /system directory no problem, and the changes stay after reboot.

THANKS for your help so far. This issue is rather trivial, but it's interesting me!
