yes it is possible, but it's not easy for non developers.

The logo is in the u-boot in rle format.

But there is something else too, maybe some of the users of

my pac man rom (4.2.2) have recognized that the rainbow screen

between the time lg logo ands and bootanimation starts, there is

the pacman logo twice. That logo is in the boot.img in rle format too.

Maybe it is possible to change some code in u-boot source to load the logo

from the bootimage or somewhere else
[LG Optimus 3D] VfBStuttgart27:
AW: [Q] Can we change the boot logo?

Do you think you're able to do this? That would be great:D
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
I know this is more then 1 year old, but the idea of changing the silver logo just popped into my head...and the search lead me to this thread.

Is this the "rainbow" screen you mention ? Was it made like this intentionally ? Or is the pallette messed up ?

On 1st boot I thought my device will die xD

So the LG logo and this "Rainbow...thing" are both in the boot.img as RLE format ?

I think "simple" hex editing/replacing the RLE graphic isnt the solutuion here ?
[LG Optimus 3D] DiveNNN:
Acura changed boot logo in his kernel maybe you can ask him
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
I found this for now :

http://www.imajeenyus.com/computer/20130301_android_tablet/android/customising_graphics.html

But I have to google more before I stuff a 32bit/24bit BMP into the nanda partition of a boot.img, just hoping that it wont brick. :angel:

Some other links say, it doesnt matter if the size of the boot.img differs afterwards, but it better be smaller Id guess.

Probably the image will get slightly stretched, as its "only" 350x735. (p920 has 480x800).So it might look different.

With "flashfy" from the playstore you can even flash boot.img, recovery.img and zips from within the ROM : :eek:

Still, I wish for an editor like "Select BMP / PNG graphic you want to use in boot.img" :D

But I will try to have a closer look at the tutorials.
[Nexus 4 General] beuh_dave:
I have created what I would like to consider a pretty complete tutorial for the Nexus 4. It is an 8 part guide and I just uploaded the final part. I tried to make it as newbie friendly as possible. There are plenty of images and screenshots, so it should help newbies understand what's going on. I discuss (in great detail) how to install drivers for the Nexus 4, how to unlock, root and install Clockworkmod using the Nexus 4 Toolkit, how to install CyanogenMod CM10 nightlies, how to install franco's kernel, how to permanently enable LTE on Android 4.2.2, how to permanently fix wifi tethering on LTE, how to revert back to 100% stock and finally, I discuss how to maximize the battery life of the Nexus 4. I hope that someone finds these guides useful! I had a fun time writing them :)

The definitive guide on hacking the Nexus 4

Part 1: How to install ADB drivers for the Nexus 4 on Windows 8

Part 2: How to unlock, root and install Clockworkmod on a Nexus 4

Part 3: How to install a custom ROM on a Nexus 4

Part 4: How to install a custom Kernel on a Nexus 4

Part 5: How to permanently enable LTE on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2

Part 6: How to fix LTE wifi tethering on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2

Part 7: How to revert back to stock Android on a Nexus 4

Part 8: How to maximize and optimize battery life on a Nexus 4

If you have any questions or require any clarifications or have any suggestions, please let me know and i'll update the guides.

The part on battery saving tips for the IO schedulers was the best ;) never seen such a simple explanation hehe. Anyway will try few of the tips as didn't know that Talk is signed in by default so signed out already as I never use it. But anyway I'm getting over 4hours screen on time with a bit more than 25 hours of moderate to heavy use and its all stock. But installed greenify and Qualcomm apps, auto brightness, all syncs, GPS always on, Google now on, but mostly on WiFi and maybe they are doing something to help me

[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
I installed ParanoidRom and everything was going fine till my phone did not start and went into bootloop.I'm really worried,i don't know what to do.

I've gone into recovery and wiped everything from cache to sd card but nothing seems to help.I have tried re-flashing boot.img and recovery.zip files but nothing works.I tried downloading stock RUU for my device but could not find the right one.

I want to flash another custom ROM but i don't know how to do it without access to SD card.SD card does not show up in my computer.It shows up only if i start my phone and change from "charge only" to "disk drive" but since i can't boot into my phone that option is closed.Is there any way to install the ROM from the zip file on my computer?

I have tried extracting the contents of the ROM zip file to the fastboot folder and flashing the boot.img but it gives a BootMagic check fail error.

Is my phone bricked,is there any hope,i can't lose my phone.
[HTC One V] sohamssd:
Yes there is hope, so don't worry:)

Go to recovery, Mount SD card, transfer ROM to phone and flash:)
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
But how do i transfer ROM to phone?
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Get into recovery->advanced->mount usb storage. The pc will open your sd card. Just paste the rom then on the phone do unmount
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
When i go into recovery,the phone opens the clockwork mod recovery and under it's advanced menu the only options are :

reboot recovery

wipe dalvik cache

report error

key test

show log

fix permissions

partition internal sdcard

go back

There is no option to mount USB storage!
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Oh sorry I use twrp recovery. In clock work there should be a mounts and storage option, then mount usb storage
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
I did that but the sd card does not show up in my computer.
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
Ok i managed to copy the ROM zip file to SD card but when i tried to flash boot.img it gave me a BootMagic check fail error.What do i do now.
[HTC One V] killbubble:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Why are you still trying with that rom?

Custom roms are sometimes bad, its happened to me 2 times one after the other....theyre just too buggy to work.

also putting stuff on microsd card from phone is kinda....stupid. just use the microsd card adapter for pcs they always hand out one along with the micro.

Download ANOTHER custom rom (there are many better ones than paranoid...foxhound or rootbox are good. Not cyanogen they still need to make a complete version for s3).

And FACTORY RESET/FORMAT EVERYTHING and then flash from rom package. Why bother flashing boot image?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Plus theres no reason to be worried if ur phone is stuck in bootloop. Bootloop saves phones not kills them. If it can't run the os (custom rom)....well it just can't. Take off the battery and re insert, at least it wont run out of battery life.

Then when uve got everything ready along with rom on sd card just boot in recovery mode and do what i told you earlier. If sdcard is a problem i remember there was an option in clockwork to have the rom pushed to the phone from the pc just like what happens when u root with odin...
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
I'm trying a different ROM.I'm not using Paranoid ROM i'm using PAC ROM.I don't have a microsd card adapter but anyways i was able to successfully copy the ROM zip file to the sd card.

I have downloaded PAC ROM but i can't install it.If i install it by flashing the boot image in fastboot folder it gives a BootMagic error and if i try to install it via CWM recovery it aborts the installation and gives some weird error.
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Boot magic? What boot.img are you installing?
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
I'm using the boot image found in the zip file of PAC ROM.When i flash this boot image it first sends boot but there's and error when it tries to write boot.

I was using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img but that was giving an error so i tried using another command,fasboot flash system boot.img and there was no error this time.So i typed the command fastboot reboot and went into recovery to open CWM recovery and chose install zip from sd card,i chose the zip file but it gave an error and did not install.I don't know what to do.Looks lik my phone is done.
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Don't do that stuff without asking! I don't think it was a good idea to do fastboot flash system.. But it may be fixable. I've never used that command so just wait that someone that knows what to do gets here.
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
using that command didn't do any damage.The problem is that i cannot install from Zip file on the sd card,it gives an error :

E:Error in /sdcard/Winzipfile.zip (winzip is the name of the ROM file)

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.
[HTC One V] killbubble:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Are you going mad? What the hell is pac rom? Are you fixated with paranoid android? All they have are.dropdown windows like tablets...not really very useful. Get a MORE popular rom, and more stable. Try aokp.

And dont flash just the bootimage. Flash it ALL. Reset everythung to factory and install FULL rom...at this point its obvious.the problem of the paranoid rom doesnt rely in bootimage...maybe its kernel.

So:

Intstall new rom + new kernel(just to be sure its not kernel problem).
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
How about googling something before calling someone else mad?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1911478

PAC rom is quite popular.

And only image files can be flashed and there is only one image file in the zip file called boot.img
[HTC One V] killbubble:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

dont get sensitive i was trying to help. What i meant was:

"Good sir, would it not be wiser to stop flashing bits of roms and instead flash all of it through cwm?

It does, in fact, seem to me that your downloaded rom/roms appear to be broken or somewhat buggy, perhaps flashing some evem MORE popular roms that the already very popular pac rom would fix the problem, thus liberating all of us from the madness you cell-phone is causing and making it's user happy once more"
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!

Try to change rom, or copy it again, maybe the file got damaged
[HTC One V] Hallucinogen-X:
I downloaded Cyanogen Mod and successfully installed it however the phone is still stuck in bootloop.

When setting lower screen density the 4 icons at the bottom of the screen is not on the correct position.

All other icons and folders are ok.

The holo launcher is ok also.

Not sure wht this thread is for.

Are you reporting a bug? If so some SS would be nice.

Are you suggesting a fix to a bug/ If so, which bug and what is the fix?

Which Launcher is it? Your title suggests stock Xperia, but then you mention holo launcher.

Other information which would be nice is

Which Phone model?

Which ROM?

Which FW version?

Which Kernel?

Without this we cant make head or sense of your post.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] POWER1FM:
Its stock jelly bean rom and stock xperia launcher.

The settings page is not displaying correctly to when setting a lower screen density so never mind.

It need a lot of work i guess.

Strange is that i find a version that works at all density values but its a little bit luggy.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] POWER1FM:
New version here that works awesome!!!!

The only issue now is settings page.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Can you show a screenshot of the bug as I still do not know what your issue is?

Is the stock launcher from the stock JB rom from the same phone? If not, then of course there will be bugs
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
I've seen what he's talking about. It's the stock JB launcher from Sony, it does not play well (like Sense and others) with custom DPI settings. They design it for a grid of certain size and call it good. Basically, when you lower the DPI, the icons are off their normal axis a bit, and it looks wonky. It's not a bug, it's built to handle one DPI... I think this can be closed unless it's a request to tweak it.

I've not used the custom Xperia Launcher... I always go to Nova.

R: [Q] Best kernel for underclocking

i have no idea why you would buy a high end phone to underclock....i gues u just wanna test it and see how low it can go before crashing(ur lucky cpu master has the option not to set cpu at startup).

My guess is...it will crash easily ciz touchwiz requires some perfornance to run smoothly.

Anyways i would guess the best for underclocking is also the best for overclocking...my kernel is syiah...try it.

If u f**k up something...u can still get the same low-end feeling of your underclocked s3 on a windows phone :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
It really doesn't matter what kernel you use to under clock....1.2GHz is 1.2GHz.....regardless off the kernel, likewise, if you set voltages, it doesn't really matter what you do it with, add long as the kernel is capable of oc/uc.

I suggest doing some research before you start messing with stuff you don't understand
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubby65:
Buy a cheap Chinese s3 copy no need to underclock :D:D:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naggar_12:
I guess i phrased the question wrongly, my phone heats up very quickly and the battery runs out real fast, so i thought maybe i should underclock/undervolt... or should i just buy a new battery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Something is causing that problem, most likely an app or the media scanner playing up, you need to eliminate all those things before you start looking at kernel side fixes

R: [Q] Best kernel for underclocking

Yeah that sort of problem is caused by instability not overclock. Ive got my s3 overoverclocked(more than samsung's stock overclockment XD) and i dont get any heating.

Like the other dude said it's a problem within the system options...wil be difficult to find unless u installed something weird recently...

Only way is flash new rom and more stable/different kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmar21:
Try Boeffla Kernel, best one IMO. Easy to use and very customizable.

But if your phone gets hot for no reason you should have it repaired. Mine had a similar issue, it heated until reboot. Sent it to be repaired, according to samsung it was a motherboard issue.

Hey XDA,

My battery life is completely terrible, I get around 2 hours with screen on and down to around 50% after 5 hours on deepsleep standby.

I'm using the Opticthrust ROM and Kowalski kernel. What's the best combination for battery life? Prefeberly JB but ICS is fine.

Thanks,

ZePotatox
[LG Optimus 2x] puffingman:
How old is your battery?

Are you using the newest Optithrust? I'm pretty sure it gives decent battery life to other users.

Try recalibrating your batter and charge it to full. - Turn it off, remove battery, put battery back, plug in charger, wait for a battery charging animation to appear, turn your phone on. Check if this make any changes.

As for ROM im using, Im using the one from Civato CivZ_FLEX-ICER rev4.5 and his latest kernel. I can get to 2 days easy.

Moderate use - texts and few calls, no games, wifi sometimes, only on 2g network.

Well, I just got the dev rom loaded and this is really great... Although my problem is still this...

I am fairly certain my GSM radio is still CF'd... The unit runs slow (probably due to phone related issues) and when I goto bootloader mode, I am still told that the GSM Error is still existing...

Has anybody managed to use XDA Rite to either put the TMobile RSU on their unit or the ATT RSU on their unit...

I understand you can't go backwards, but I am not sure the ATT RSU ever really went through...

I certainly seem to be seeing the end of the tunnel somewhere...

As always, any help would be appreciated...

Why don't u try to load att image again? Problem is there is no way to backup GSM rom, so u must use RSU upgrade from the provider. run the att rsu upgrade again and it will load the Radio stack.

Suppose you want that a text should change it's color when you put your finger on it ,, like you want your carrier label to turn blue when you keep your finger on it and white when you remove,,, This is common in pngs, but what about text,, well theres a way for that too

This is a very easy mod,, all you need is to use your brain, information and search skills to find the right xml with the right string

Let us begin with an easy one,,, Open your status_bar_tracking.xml if you have bottom carrier label text and status_bar_expanded.xml if you have it above

now ,, search the line having

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel

and add an android:textColor="@color/carrier_text" ,,,

Save and close

now let us begin what we need to do to make it blue when we keep our finger on it

Open note pad or note pad ++

Paste this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<selector

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ddff00"

<item android:color="#ffffff" />

</selector>

save with the name carrier_text and add xml as extension in plce of txt to make it an xml file,, now make a folder named color in SystemUI.apk/res

and recompile.....

And then you got it,, white in normal state and ICS blue when pressed.

:D

NOW SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE LIKE A FLU!!!!!!

The android system has a lot of possibilities and if you had seen the lidroid-res.apk or framework-res.apk's xmls in colors folder (or Mms.apk) or just saw its amazing matching with drawable xmls (just replace drawable with color and all image paths to color codes :P)

NO NO NO bro,, the extensions of xmls and pngs are never displayed ,,, that is the job of the tags (android:textColor) to do the job,, if you write,, u will only face an error while recompiling,, i have already studied it bro,, if you dont believe just open tab_indicator.xml in Contacts.apk/res/layout-finger......
