[Motorola Droid 4] slimmbanditt:
I recently purchased a Verizon Droid 4 from the previous owner with intentions of activating with my current service provider, a local prepaid store. I can't even access the launcher, as I am greeted upon powering on the device with a prompt to insert a sim card.. I was told by an associate at the local Verizon store that they no longer carried these due to their being outdated...? So my question is, first off is there any possible way around the purchase of a micro-sim (available on Verizon's site) and if not then will I be able to get service through my current prepaid carrier? The confusing thing to me is this required micro sim, to the best of my understanding, serves the sole purpose of providing Verizon's 4g LTE service.. My carrier obviously doesn't offer 4g, so must I obtain one of these micro sims simply to get past the prompt? Tanks in advance for any help and input...
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
To my understanding this is (in the US) a Verizon only phone.... There is a trick to get past that prompt tho..If you search around the forum here you will find it... Like 24 or so topics below this one....
[Motorola Droid 4] slimmbanditt:
re

ok, anyone know anything about the sim requirement? possible workaround? Assurance Verizon MicroSIM wil be compatible with prepaid carrier?
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
you shouldn't need a SIM at all to bypass the activation screen....

touch left of screen right under the status bar

touch the right hand side

bottom right (right above the buttons)

bottom left

keep doing that until it activates itself, may take a couple of tries but it will work

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Seabottom:
Hi, I want to know a few things about this.

I've got Sony Xperia Z with newest firmware and it's rooted

I have made my own pictures of the same resolution and file type as the OP's. How many files can the phone handle? I've got 269 files because I figured that the phone would cut off the sequence after it's ready to boot, and it's just that many in case some really long boots happen.

Will it display these in sequence?

Can I just edit the desc.txt file to this and put put the sequence in generic 1?

1080 1920 24
p 0 0 generic1

There doesn't seem to be anything in the ani folders, can I just edit the desc.txt_cust to this?

1080 1920 24
p 1 0 generic1

Basically, I just want only the picture sequence to be shown during boot. Resolution is 1080x1920 and are PNG files

Furthermore, how do I install it? Do I just copy my modified "Modified_Z_Boot_Animation_Ben_Ling.zip" to the SD card and reboot for an auto-install?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Ben Ling:
Hi,i also don't know about these as i only mod the Xperia bootanimation.

As i know,the boot animation won't work if you just edit the desc.txt.

You will need to use Boot Animation creator to make the boot animation,search it at XDA...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Seabottom:
It's actually much simpler than I imagined. Just make a folder called bootanimation. Add a desc.txt file with information that fits the sequence files and replace it on the phone.

However, I experience extreme lag with the animation, something like 10 fps but I put it to 24 fps in Boot Animation Factory. I see other people also experienced lag with no solution apparently. I will now try and lower the resolution to see if it helps.

I can see that my separate files are about 1 MB in size vs Xperia's default of 65 KB, maybe that's why?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Danny-Leung:
Weird problem...

Hi i just tried both flashing the zip and replacing the bootanimation.zip these 2 methods too. Both are giving me a very lag animation at the first flow (flow for about 3-5 sec), then it start looping the rainbow flow animation continuously and i can't enter the launcher. What's wrong with that? Thanks a lot!

Hey can you upload on dropbox? I can't download from mediafire on my phone, have no idea how to fix it :/

Lesson learned. I apologize; I come from a forum that posts all root/advanced discussion in the development subthread, assumed this would be the same. Mods please move thread as you see fit =)

I went from scratch and found that if I followed another user's suggestion (cannot recall to give credit, 4:30 AM with a 6:30 wakeup time =/) in combination with the "+" trick, I got the APK to build with warnings about the translations:

Instead of removing all 4 lines, replace them with a single line:

<string-array translatable="false" name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />

Put [MENTION=651413]layo[/MENTION]ut instead of [MENTION=651413]layo[/MENTION]ut in 6 locations:

res\layout\keyguard_screen_password_landscape.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_password_portrait.xml

What kind of source are you using? I mean are you using FLAC files or mp3 at 128Kbs. To test it, take a music DVD known to be well recorded and rip it into a FLAC file then listen to it.

Files taken from the internet can be misleading. Some people will take their old 128Kbs mp3 and repack them as 320Kbs so the files seems very high quality but there is no difference between the 128 and the 320 since the 320 comes from a 128Kbs
