1. search "pimp my rom" and with that you can turn off the boot animation...there's probably other ways u can do this too though

4. camera apps in the play store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
#1, #3 and #4 depends on the ROM and so suggest ask on the respective ROM

discussion thread in General.

I'll go on a limb here and suggest you might find your answers already in chris41g's CM9 thread in the General forum.

#2 I believe is by design and will probably be fixed in the ROM. Again, double check on the respective ROM

discussion

thread (Not the release thread unless the dev specifies to ask there).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krynos:
I didn't really use CM9 but all of the other roms I've used have been about the same. If CM9 doesn't have an option or mod to disable the boot animation or if you can't find an app that's compatible, there's something else you can try. Using a root explorer, go to /system/media/bootanimation.zip and delete that file. Create a new blank file and name it bootanimation.zip in the same directory. When your phone starts, it will try to run the splash, but there won't be anything there and it skips it.

I think that the CRT OFF animation is modded into the framework. You would need an unmodded framework to shut it off. Check CM9's forum to see if they have one or ask there.

From the way I understood it, your third problem sounds like your media scanner isn't running on boot. Download an app called Development Tools from the market and run the media scanner to see if that helps. If not, check/ask on the CM9 forums for help.

There are a lot of good camera apps on the market. Some of them provide cool effects such as Vignette, Paper Camera, and HDR cameras.

Hi

I would like to ask if anyone knows any application that allows access to certain apps/functions only. Like windows professional where you can allow users access to only basic functions from the desktop screen.

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
Something like SwitchMe? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
[Acer Iconia A500] troufitos:
Not exactly...At work I can access the pc but only specific programs are available to me (No login is necessary)e.g Word, access etc. Everything else is locked by the administrator.

Something like the app you are suggesting but without the user account screen...

The properties of the file will have the date and time of creation. As to adding it onto the picture, I'm not sure as I personally hate pictures with time stamps. Maybe something that an app could do after the fact.

[HTC One X] Gralgrathor:
Don't know whether this forum is the proper place for this post, but few other places concentrate such a number of experts and enthusiasts, so here goes...

So I too have borked my HTC 1X. Mine drowned in 1mm of water while I was doing the dishes. It started to endlessly reboot, and I couldn't get it to stay off, and didn't want to take the thing apart just yet (I'm all thumbs, and things aren't likely to get better once I start poking at them) so I did the only thing I could think of and put the machine into a bag of rice next to the radiator and left it to dry for a couple of days.

After a couple of days, the thing wouldn't do anything anymore. Completely dead. That's when I figured that I couldn't make things any worse and so got a chisel and a hammer and removed the casing. I took the machine apart, hammered every part for a bit, then put it back together (I was glad for having a hammer; that casing is really tough).

Now the machine works, boots up, recognizes the SIM-card, connects to wifi, retrieves my e-mail and all - only I can't get at it because the screen's become unresponsive to touch. I'm guessing that this is the part that smart people call the "digitizer", and that it's broken.

Now I've got a chisel, a hammer, a soldering iron and I can probably get my hands on a screwdriver. Question is, is it worth it to open up the machine again? Or should I just wait for the X+ to come out and send this one away for expensive repairs? Anybody got any useful advice?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Could be water damage, or it could be that the continual beating with the hammer dislodged the digitizer cable.

You can't replace the digitizer on its own, you have to get the LCD too, all in one unit (yeah, you can buy it on its own, but you can't install it).
[HTC Incredible S] @di:
Hi Guys,

I just have a small query.

Till date I have tried following ROMs on my phone:

a) Codename 3.5.0 jelly bean with gaaps zip

b) Nik project 4.1

c) ice cold sandwich by kaijura

d) CM 7.2.0

There has been absolutely no problem in flashing these ROMs, However every I time, I install a new ROM, I see different types of files, left out of previous ROMs, in ROOT of my card such as ( -_Codename-Android-3, ._gapps-jb-20120726-signed) when I moved from codename to project X 4.1, .apdisk, .config_c38, recovery.log, superwipe.log, ._.Trashes....etc.... These files are not causing any problem to me, but I feel these files are trashes of the old ROMs.....

My question is, Can I directly delete this files from my root? will there be any problem, If I remove these files?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Its fine to remove them, no problems.

I just like to keep something on my phone, like a ROM zip or backup in case I'm out and something goes wrong.

Hello all, I need to sync folders between my phone (Galaxy S2) and my Infinity... I use to do it with my PC but it's time is up, CPU failes... The folders are my music and photos folders, I would like to do this over the wifi in my house. The app must basically compare the folder contents on both the phone and tablet, and if there are any additions to either, they must be coppied to the other device. For instance if I take a few photos with my phone during the day, the app must detect that there are new files in the Camera folder and send those to the tablet, or if I put a mp3 file on my tablet it must be sent to my phone as well...

Are there any apps that do this? I am more than willing to pay for this functionality

CHeck here:

Basically, if your phone and your tablet are on the same wifi, you should be able to click the LAN tab, and then scan the LAN. It will show all the IP addresses of the devices on the network.

For PC-to-Android folder synchronization (only one-way at the moment) I developed a free app which does not require external cloud storage services (like Dropbox or SugarSync). It's called GammaSync, and it's available on the Play Store. Maybe you'll find it useful ;)

Does it work directly between two Android devices, without requiring to upload everything to the cloud from one device and downloading again on the other?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mikew29:
Syncs with the cloud.

Esexplorer will require you to copy/paste between devices. Foldersync with dropbox/box.net may be your best bet.

Foldersync allows scheduling of sync with cloud via wifi only or data plan. Its the best 'set it & forget it' option I've found

I just got my first Android phone and its a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. The first two days I was getting around 4-5 hours of battery life and then started reading up on this forum and did a bunch of suggested changes like turning off NFC, location services etc. Also, downloaded Juice Defender and now the battery life is around 7 hours. My usage is very minimal and I was thinking the battery life should be much better than this. When I look into my usage, it seems Google Maps is eating out all my battery life. I have turned off all possible location services to stop this but nothing seems to work.

I have attached some of the relevant screenshots also from my device.

Any advice on how to get this sorted is much appreciated. Thank you.

What you can do is root the phone and then install Titanium Backup and freeze maps. Then it will never be able to start again.

I went to my friend and compared it with Motorola Atrix 4g and it is twice louder than my XP, i remember that on stock rom without all that Xperia S Goodies (stock player , stock audio effects etc ) it was loud same as my friends Atrix.

Atm im using NXT Rom 1.3 (only rome that dont have issue with XLoud, other roms plays sounds louder on speakers with this option turned off )

btw Xloud affects only build in speakers :D

Kernel Lupus v5 GB, my questions is , what i can do to make my play play as loud as on stock .

I testet all equalizers in market or almost every one and few players and saddly no difference i think its some audioeffectserver.apk issue or maybe other audio related apk in system. Only volume boost i noticed after I installed beats audio from market.
