[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
There are plenty of boot animations in the wild if you don't want to watch an ugly yellow sprint (or I guess boost mobile when the time comes) logo.

1) Download a boot animation that's 540x960. You can easily find them http://lmgtfy.com/?q=boot+animation+540x960

2) Rename the bootanimation.zip (or whatever it's called) to sprint_bootanimation.zip

3) Move the newly renamed file to whatever folder you have adb in.

4) From the command prompt (already navigated to the folder where adb is, you can hold shift and right click to "Open command prompt here")

Type:

FOR INTERNAL SD: adb push sprint_bootanimation.zip /sdcard

FOR EXTERNAL SD: adb push sprint_bootanimation.zip /mnt/external1

And press enter.

5) Type adb shell and it'll put you at a $ prompt in adb, now type su and press enter. The $ should change to a #.

6) Copy and paste "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system" into the adb (Without quotes) and press enter

7) Now to move the boot animation

FOR INTERNAL SD: cp /sdcard/sprint_bootanimation.zip /system/media

FOR EXTERNAL SD: cp /mnt/external1/sprint_bootanimation.zip /system/media

8) Type reboot and enjoy your new boot animation.

Tested with both a batman eating a hotdog logo and the CM10 logo

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherms24:
Hi guys. I have been reading up on the forums for a couple days trying to figure this Root Unlock stuff out and it has me a little confused. I recently had a Samsung Galaxy S and rooted it no problem. But it seems that was much simplier than the things over here at HTC. So i have a couple quesitons. I am trying to unlock the phone from T-Mobile to AT&T. I understand that i could go to T-Mobile if my account has been active long enough, but sadly it hasn't.

1. I have found a couple guides on here explaining how to root and unlock but most of them seem overly complicated compared to rooting the Galaxy i used to have. Is this just due to it being HTC or have they just gotten way more complicated since then?

2. If i root it, then i should be able to unlock it so i can use it on AT&T by using the S=OFF guides i see around here right? I ask because i am not entirely sure what S=OFF even means, let alone what it has to do with unlocking the phone.

I have read a couple guides and it seems if i get it rooted it should be no problem to unlock using the S=OFF method, but it seems like rooting is a chore. If it is fairly easy then i will go for it no worries. And i understand that if anything happens it is my fault, i am just looking for the easiest method of unlocking this phone to AT&T aside from the unlock code from T-Mobile!

Thanks!

My advice would be just to go ahead and root that bad boy, in the process of rooting it will be the option to unlock it. The thread is in the sticky section of the dev section. I'll post a link in one second.

Its pretty straight forward just follow it without shortcuts and you'll be fine.

So I just got this device and rooted the phone. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get into recovery when turning on the device and holding Vol Down + Power. It always goes into Download Mode. I have Clockwork installed via Rom Manager and am able to boot into Recovery that way (also if I use the Nexus Root Toolkit, when the device reboots, it cycles through recovery). I tried flashing ParanoidAndroid and it's been stuck on the loading screen forever (about 20 min). I've tried rebooting and letting it go, but it's still running. Now if I try to reboot into recovery, I cannot since it keeps going to the download screen. Am I not waiting long enough or did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dascjb:
Hold both vol up and down at same time with power button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nocode99:
ahh didn't realize I could hold both and had to. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedygonzo:
In able to get in to recovery, you need to press vol down, vol up, and power. Then use the volume keys to navigate to recovery.

Read the above 2 posts and also can people stop posting "Best ROM" threads, its getting really annoying...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colomob:
Can someone please let me know how to do this. i have search everywhere and no one says anything. they only provide a link but it does not provide step by step nor links to do this. my Gnex is unlocked but not rooted. I would like to go back to stock so that i can update to JB. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well if you're only unlocked, and not rooted, have custom recovery/ROM or anything, you are completely stock. Just unlocked bootloader... OTA has nothing to do with unlocking bootloader. Also root doesn't stop OTAs. Just FYI... Only flashing custom ROM, custom kernel or custom recovery or a change to a system partition stops the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colomob:
and thats where my problem comes. i cant find a stock rom. im on a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Ohhh ok... But you're not rooted? Strange...

Anyways, here is the link. Whenever efrant tells you to either "fastboot" or "adb", just put ./ in front of it. That's the command for Mac and Linus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colomob:
i found that way but im an idiot i guess. i read it and re read it and i dont understand it.. :/

any way someone can simplify that and post it here?

or anyone have the stock Rom i can flash and ether flash the update or get it OTA???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes you can use that guide for toroplus (i.e., Sprint) devices as well if you have the images. But since you don't have the userdata image (and therefore you skip that step), you may need to boot CWM and wipe /data and /cache, but only if you experience a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colomob:
So in recovery I have to flash each image? That's the part I don't get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
You cannot flash image files on any recoveries. You need to do those in fastboot mode using command prompt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That's not at all what I said.

Follow the guide. But for the userdata image (which you don't have), boot into recovery and wipe data.

I was searching for Anker battery on Amazon and saw this first. I never seen this battery until today and no ones posted a review on Amazon. Its only a bit stronger than Anker but I was thinking about purchasing these just to see how it goes. I've used the Anker batteries before so I'd feel more comfortable buying Anker other than EC, but still wondering if anyone bought these before. Comments?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Only Loki:
I bought some EC 1800 batteries and the universal charger and they are OK they last a little longer than my stock battery. They say they don't work with NFC on the nexus but not sure about gs2 because I never use it.

The problem I'm having is that Odin gets half way through the process hangs and then fails to complete. Anyway to get ICS and make Odin complete the process?

EDIT: I disconnected the phone and rebooted to view an error message that said to restore is in Kies. Since Kies couldn't detect the device I used Odin twice to flash ICS which worked on the second try.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theXperiance:
After many privacy protectors, mirror screen protectors and matte screen protectors that didn't work properly

I put a privacy protector on my XOOM and to my surprise, it worked properly!

The privacy protector on the XS left lines very visible and made the screen almost unviewable, the mirror protector on the XS was horrible and left a rainbow tint on the screen and was VERY unviewable and finally the matte protector made the screen seem like there was water or oil all over the screen because of those colored dots everywhere. And to my shock none of those appeared if put on a Motorola xoom. I have come to the conclusion that the xperia s has a very weird LCD screen, does this happen to your XS? Is there any way to stop this?

All of my complaining was due to the xperia s being weird and not because they supplied a faulty protector -_- but they should've tested it before they started selling it!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raddy:
Hello everybody

It has not even been 6 months since the HTC One x release.

I have bought a HTC One x last week in the hope that it would be the flagship product for HTC for next 6 months.

Alas all my hopes was shattered few days back by HTC One x+.

I have seen the rumors even before I purchase the one x.

But at that time it was said as a direct competitor for Samsung galaxy note product.

So I assumed it may not supersede HTC One x.

But recent reports are terming the one x+ as more of a successor to one x than competitor Samsung galaxy note.

In that case our mobile phone would soon become a step child for HTC from a flagship product position that too merely within 6 month of a product life cycle.

I.think nowadays mobile phone product got a short span of life cycle.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
That's how it goes. Thank Apple and their yearly release cycle.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cupps:
I could be dead wrong, but a)aren't the specs of the X+ on marginally better (same RAM, same battery, same form essentially... with a slightly better CPU?) and b)isn't the X+ looking like T-Mobile, which would make it like the Evo for Sprint. Not a "successor," just another version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. I love the One X and don't image it will be difficult to stick with it for 2 years.

...no matter how tempting the Lumia 920's PureView camera may be...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
New phones are always going to be coming out. Did you think HTC would never release a better version of the one x?

I don't think the one x+ is coming to AT&T so you don't need to worry.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Agreed.

Contrary to popular belief, when a newer phone is released, your devices specs DO NOT change. They will remain the same thru its entire life span;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I don't care about new phones. I just want this one to get root!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ZeroRilix:
Remember, there is still the Evitaire info from early august. The One X+ is codenamed Endeavor C2, that one should be for T-Mobile. Considering the AT&T One X is codenamed Evita, I'm sure the the Evitaire is for AT&T and is the One X+. We will know for sure on the 19th.

This happens all the time. When a new device is released, people feel hard done by because a newer model is about to be released. It's just the way technology is nowadays.

And as others have said, the + isn't a massive improvement anyway :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raddy:
Thanks everybody for your clarifications on the One X+.

Moreover many of you have not understood my concern correctly.

I am not such an immature person to think that the mobile phone i have, would never get a successor.

Not only Apple offers a one year window before releasing a successor to it's products, But it also offers 3+ year support for it's existing products.

Expecting our investment (valuation) to be secured at least for one year is wrong?

I think, people should not complain about product support for more than one year if they didn't buy an Apple or Google Experience device.

Anyway let us hope the HTC One X+ be a T-Mobile centric mobile phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
In Android phone arena, a phone can barely hold on to its status within 3 months of release. By 6-month time, it is defintely last gen. If you always want the latest and greatest, be prepared to buy a new phone every 6 months or so. HTC has no choice. If it didn't refresh its hardware in 6-month time frame, other manufacturers will leave it way behind. There is no such concern from Apple because no one else get to release another iPhone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raddy:
Still you didn't understand my point correctly.

Using latest and greatest mobile phone is not my point.

I want the mobile phone i purchased should receive first hand treatment from the company at least for one year.

Apple, Google and Samsung does that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
How many Samsung phones you owned in the past? Samsung NEVER treat its current released phone as 1st class. Typically you only get important updates after new phone releases. That's why I switched over to HTC after so many years dealing with Samsung. And I don't regret it at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raddy:
Wasn't Samsung Galaxy S2 a successful and well supported mobile phone on it's times than HTC Sensation ?

And would HTC Sensation receive a Jelly Bean update ?

Samsung Galaxy S2 going to receive it.

Moreover Samsung Galaxy S2 had never received a successor on any of the operator within a full one year gap.

Was the same with HTC Sensation ?

HTC Sensation XE and XL been released merely within few months after the release of HTC Sensation.

I am not trying to cause issues with this post but to point something out and ponder WTF is different.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
My wife's 2 year old HTC Inspire got an update last month. Will it ever see ICS? I doubt it.

With Google going to a yearly software release schedule like apple I suspect my One X will see Jelly Bean but not Key Lime Pie, or Karmel Korn, or whatever they decide to call it.

You buy a phone for what it can do TODAY. Since you're on a site which is all about developing custom roms and tweaks and such, a company's official software release schedule shouldn't matter all that much anyway.

If by some bizarre chance I still have this phone in two years I'm sure CM11 or CM 12 or whatever will run on it just fine.

The dual core S4 is already capable of running everything except the hardcore games like a hot knife through butter. Android apps are a long way off from maxxing out what our SoC is capable of.

In a nutshell chasing the latest and greatest is expensive, there will always be something better on the horizon. Always buy the flagship and if you can, buy the unsubsidized unlocked version. That will keep the average XDA user happy for at least a year.
