Hi,

Unfortunately I was born both lazy and stupid :P so is there any way any of you gurus could possibly write some sort of script so I basically can just...

a) load pic into Microsoft paint

b) trim to the right size

c) save as "x"

d) run script

e) select custom boot screen "x" (enter in filepath)

f) select ROM (enter in filepath)

g) sit back with tea can biscut wait for "finished" message

h) flash new ROM

??

Help Needed

All the Tech Gurus,

Can any one throw some light as how to inject the splash file into the nk.fat and then make it ti nk.nbf....pls help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
You need a hex editor like WinHex or UltraEdit-32.

I used UltraEdit-32.

Verify that your splash file is exactly 614,400 bytes.

Open your splash file in UltraEdit-32.

Select all bytes by pressing Control+A, then copy it to the clipboard by pressing Control+C.

Open your NK.FAT file in a new window.

Click on the Go To Line icon and type in 0x3F00000.

The cursor should be blinking on offset 3F00000H, the first byte of the splash image area. For me, the Qtek 9000's image's first byte is a 1A and the previous byte is FF.

Go to Edit, then Hex Functions, then Hex Insert/Delete.

Select Delete, and enter 614400, then click OK.

Immediately paste the contents of the clipboard, and it should insert-paste the new image file.

Save the modified NK.FAT file.

If you file is short by 20 bytes, this is how to duplicate the last twenty bytes in the file:

Open your splash file in UltraEdit-32.

Press Control+End to position the cursor to the end of the file.

Hold down the Shift key and press the Left Arrow and/or Up Arrow until the last 20 bytes are highlighted. See the bottom-right corner where it says "Bytes Sel: xx."

Press Control+C to copy the highlighted bytes to the keyboard.

Press Control+End to position the cursor to the end of the file again.

Press Control+V to paste the bytes at the end of the image file.

See the bottom-right corner to make sure it says "File Size: 614400."

Save the splash image file.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] hdubli:
Thanks

Thanks man...But a simple logical question...can we create splash.nb from the nb tool as we used to do to change the splash screen on 2003se devices using...Oh yes...I just opened the splash1.nb made earlier in Hex Editor and found that it is exactly of the size 153 kb...so it is possible,,

But there is splash2.nb also..so how to go about it...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
As I stated before, the original NB Image Converter only works with 240x320 files. Hence 153K won't fill the 600K of the VGA image file area of the decrypted ROM file.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] buzz_lightyear:
@anyone

I know, that BeyondtheTech already said this at the beginning, but it is never enough to say it once again:

IF ANYONE IS UNSURE, WHAT TO DO, DON'T DO THIS!!!

YOU CAN PERMANENTLY BREAK YOUR DEVICE!

Hi,

I guess this thread is the one talking about the image convertor..

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=66133#66133

Is it possible to get it modified for the Universal?

Buzz, wouldn't a reflash of the ROM restore a failed attempt? Or is there something more sinister about altering this?

Regards

Michael
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
I take it you didn't actually read the first post of the thread:

If you don't read through, you might skip out on some important details and really screw up your device. I suggest you don't do it then.

As for the flashing, if you mess up the NK.NBF file which I believe contains the bootloader, and flash it, there's a possibility you may not be able to flash again if the bootloader gets corrupted. AFAIK, as long as the bootloader is alive, you still have chance for recovery from a bad flash, but let's hope you or anyone else never gets to that point.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] buzz_lightyear:
@BtT

NK.nbf must not necessary contain the bootloader.

But it is always better to triple check that. Even if it contains a bootloader, it is usually not flashed.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tonyx3:
I can't get my HTC One to send music by bluetooth to my car stereo. It pairs just fine, but when I look a the config menu for my stereo in the bluetooth devices menu, it only show the phone profile, not the music(A2DP) profile.

My stereo is A2DP capable. It's a Pioneer DEH-X6600BT, for what that's worth.

Am I just missing a step here?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] intense98rt:
If you look in the bluetooth settings on your phone. Does it show it connected as phone and media device?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tonyx3:
No, just as phone. How do I make it connect as a media device as well?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tonyx3:
My brother just paired his Nexus 5 with my car stereo and it worked with music without any issues. Is this just a problem with the HTC One? No matter what I try, I can't make it pair as a media device, only as phone audio. I've tried both stock, and CM11 roms....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
It's always worked for me except on cm11.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tonyx3:
What brand of car stereo are you using it on? Mine's a new Pioneer. Media audio works flawlessly from a Nexus 5, and an iPhone 4, but my HTC One will only pair with phone audio.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Mine is a new pioneer too. The the FH-X700BT.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tonyx3:
So weird! It's getting frustrating. I wonder what is causing it.. Has to be the phone, since the stereo works fine with other phones...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Try EclipticONE, it's the only rom besides stock that's worked for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] LightAeterna:
It might not help you at all but I was having issues with my stereo and bluetooth and found an updated firmware for my stereo on the company's website. Once I flashed it to my stereo unit it fixed everything. It might be worth a try to look and see if you need an update.

[HTC One V] MillCreek:
So I was reading about the WinDroid HTC One V toolkit. I am on VM in the USA. I was hoping to find an 'idiot's guide' to using the toolkit. Can anyone point me to one? Or do I literally just connect my phone via USB to my PC, run the toolkit and it takes over from there? I am trying to find out what preparatory steps I need to do or what information I need to have on hand before running it. I don't want to get halfway through and discover that I should have done something first to prepare. Thanks for any help.
[HTC One V] noisy_boy:
First you have to know what will you do to your One V with that toolkit??

Is S4 mini GT-I9192ZWAINU MHL compatible?

How to stream video from S4 mini GT-I9192ZWAINU to TV set using MHL/HDMI/USB?

I dont have a Samsung TV set, hence solution should be workable on all TVs having HDMI /USB port. The specification sheet on Samsung India website does not say anything about the compatibility with HDMI/ MHL. If S4 Mini is MHL compatible then I can use MHL to HDMI adaptor. Please confirm MHL compatibility.

I can confirm that MHL and USB connectivity does NOT work on the S4 Mini.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] knite75:
Get a "smart" watch like Pebble, Sony Watch, Samsung Gear, etc.

Recently, I got a Pebble watch as a bday gift. I notice that the battery life in my Ultra last almost twice as long.

Emails and texts display on my watch, which negate me from the need to turn on my phone as often. Hence, less battery usage.

If you look at the battery stats, at least 80% of power consumption is by the display. This is especially true with any large display like the Ultra. Simply, if you minimize turning on the display, you'll greatly prolong your battery.

Previously, I thought these "iwatches" are gimmicky. Now, I think otherwise.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Another tip: Turn your Ultra off and you'll save even more battery :p

I like to use my devices, so that's exactly what I'll keep doing. Thanks for the tip though!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Save battery? I am not on stock, but on CarbonRom and the stock rom is a bit of a batteryholic but I use internet all day and play music with bluetooth headset, make calls, use my GPS about four times a day and keep my screen on for three or four hours and I have about 40% +/- left when I come home. There is no need for me to save battery, I need to waste more battery ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
What's up with battery saving? If battery life is important to someone they shouldn't buy a smartphone IMO.

the same as being an exotic supercar and when driving complaining about fuel economy.

Anyways, thanks for sharing.

NEVER INSTALL A ROM THAT'S NOT FOR YOUR DEVICE! you will end up with a brick.And no,we can't suggest.Try yourself out some ROMs made for your device.
[Sony Xperia L] Waledac:
This method works on both locked and unlocked bootloader devices!!!

1. Make sure you are running Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Build 15.3.A.0.26. Go to Settings > About to verify this.

2. Enable USB Debugging , Go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options, now Go to Settings > Developer options to enable Enable USB debugging mode.

3. Enable Unknown Sources. Go to Settings > Security and check Unknown sources.

4. Download vRoot from here - http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

Yeah it is in Chinese, so bear with it :P , download it and install this software just click next next like u install any other software :P

5. Open the vRoot and Connect your phone Xperia L to your PC , you will see a green Root icon in vRoot, click on that to start the rooting process. See the below screenshot.

6. When it is finished your phone will restart automatically and vRoot will show something like the below screenshot.

7. Congratulations your phone is now rooted :P. To verify see the Kinguser app , see the note below to replace it with SuperSU.

Note :- If you want to change the Kinguser (Chinese Superuser app) to SuperSU , just download SuperSU from Playstore , open it , it will ask for Root Permissions , grant it , then follow the screen instructions to update the binary. Now open SuperSU , go to Settings and click on "Install SuperSU into /system" . Your phone will reboot and Kinguser will automatically get uninstalled :)

OR

Download this file - LINK

Extract it somewhere and run 'runme_win.bat' .

where you will see "app" and "framework" folder delete all files in there and put the newly created deodexed files from universal deodexer into that and follow the instructions which you followed to deodex your previous build ;)
