Hi, I would like some help with changing first boot logo that I understand is in the kernel, also I would like to know how do you change the animation when you reboot or shut down your phone, if some other phones have similar, same instructions I would like to know which phones or just pointing me the right direction would be much appriciated. Because I have seen quite few threads around the net about similar things, but they are not for XZ.

If this helps - im running

C6603 with Unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijav:
Boot Splash Logo Is in the kernel! (That big Sony Logo appear on first screen) for modify you need linux as you need to modify ramdisk and you need to create a raw file for your device, for boot animation (which will apear second and is that flying colorful) is in the /system/media/bootanimation.zip as Jpeg sequence it can be easily modify and you can put it back afterward just don't forget to look at the text file in it and also don't forget to rw-r--r-- permission after you put modified bootanimation back. (there's bunch of tools and tutorials about this one) good luck ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eLbor11:
I know about, the second boot animation, but I need a full tut about the 1st boot logo, and linux is not a problem, but what about restarting and shutting down animation?

Stock not rooted

Latest firmware

_____________________________________

Ok so everyone knows that you should be able to install .apk if you set to allow. I'm able to with other .apk and don't have issues normally.

My question is, do I need root to get the 4.4 keyword, launcher etc to work?

Ideas on steps I can take while still stock. I have no problem rooting. Just haven't got around to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
So launcher won't work as Google search keeps crashing when I attempt to enable the new 4.4 launcher.

So I'm going to just root it and go that route to enable it that way. Keyboard isn't working either while stock and not or rooted either.

Hello guys,

i've tried to unlook the bootloader via Wug's Toolkit (and other methods) but everytime my device boot into the Bootloader menu, where you can select "yes" or "no" to unlock the bootloader, my device hangs up if i select "Yes".

So i can't unlock the bootloader, can someone help? Alls drivers are installed and my nexus LTE has the latest update.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] OreBoySwaggin:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Spacket:
i can't even flash a factory image: FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.). My device freezes everytime i want to unlock the bootloader. WTF?!?!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
I just got the LTE version, build production date August 2013. I was able to unlock the bootloader (unlock icon shown on boot up).

What production date is yours? Also, did you install the necessary drivers and have Wug downloaded the necessary files to perform the bootloader unlock?

If you're still within 30 days from buying the device, return it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Spacket:
my device is a D90 production. I think it's october/september. I have all necessery stuff installed. Like i sayed, it freezes when i try to unlock the bootloader. So it has nothing to do with the drivers.

EDIT: Is there a possibility to reflash the bootloader?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
Hmm.. not sure what happened then. I remember I HAD to uninstall the Samsung Driver on my Windows 7 PC or else I cannot unlock the bootloader for my old N7 2012. Don't know why, but that's the only solution that worked for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Spacket:
but it can't be a driver problem, i think it's a device problem, or do the Tab need something from the computer, when i select "yes" to unlock the bootloader
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
Then it's your device. I can unlock the boot loader just fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Spacket:
I even hard resetet my tab right now, no effect.

Last chance: reinstall all drivers and other stuff. If this has no effect, i will bring the tab back.

[Moto X Q&A] gueszman:
Basically i cant move apps to System/app folder, or change permissions of applications. Even i cannot change build.prop with modifications. Any change i make, return to its original state. Im using Root explorer and I always set R/W permission to do any change.

[Moto X Q&A] drksilenc:
are you remembering to boot in recovery mode i think that is required.
[Moto X Q&A] gueszman:
You mean... Stock Recovery? .... Holding volume down and ppwer right? ...let me try

[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
after you do that you need to press volume down to put the cursor over recovery then pretty volume up to select it and you will be in recovery and your changes will actually remain set after reboots.
[Moto X Q&A] gueszman:
Ok...I did it like you say...but Recovery does not start. Is like when i reboot the device... :/

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] bigv5150:
I can't believe people still don't know how to do this or understand how this root works. When you boot into recovery it boots into R/W permission off. You no longer have stock recovery after you make changes then reboot normal and the changes will be permanent.

What the heck! I swear, I've been looking for this answer for the last day. No guides I've read indicate this needs to happen.

Just tried this three times and no dice. build.prop get's overwritten every time.
[Moto X Q&A] bigv5150:
Ok try another file manager I use es file explorer mainly but it is finicky even though you have root it doesn't let you change certain things. I have Rom toolbox pro and use the root explorer works every time. If this doesn't work for you then you may not actually be rooted download a root checker and make sure.
[Moto X Q&A] mcgrathpatj:
I did exactly this. Tried it with both Build Prop Editor and it wasn't working. Then root explorer, saved, and exited the program. that time it worked.

And, as soon as I did that, got everything up an running at 260dpi. Looks great, but, active notifications doesn't work any longer. Shame. Now I gotta figure that out!
[Moto X Q&A] bigv5150:
If I had to bet change the screen resolution messed with the active notifications they may require a certain DPI.
[Moto X Q&A] mcgrathpatj:
Tried setting specific DPI to that as well and no dice.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
ps es file explorer works with root but you have to select root explorer and turn it on in the settings. Even after you tunr it on, you have to select settings after that (by clicking on root explorer again) and scroll down to remount r/w then change all the diretories to rw. Then it won't be finicky and will let you do everything you want to.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00313:
I have tried to Google this issue with little success. What happens is I used to have the Xperia Ray (GB 2.3.4) where apps like ZDBox can detect my Samsung 32GB microSD and moved apps to SD without issue. Now with the SP, it cannot see the ext SD at all (but Cleanup Master still can). Another issue is that SD Tools was able to display the Samsung SD ROM data on the Ray but can't now with the SP. Also, SD Booster used to recommend 2048 for 32GB SD on the Ray, but now saying 512 is optimal? I am so confused. Is it a SP or JB 4.1.2 issue? Both are rooted BTW.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Because the Sp has internal memory mounted as SD card you won't be able to move apps to SD card.

To move apps and data a lot of people use link2sd to move apps to ext SD card and apps like folder mount to move game data/obb files to ext SD card.

Only works if rooted.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themacboy:
The problem is that link2SD din't move the /data/data/x folder to the ext2 Sd partition, then if you have a lot of files there (like music temporal files of Google Music) the benefits are poor.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
It will not move it. It will mount it in this point.

Link2SD can move data to other partition. But. You have to had two partitions on sd card. First one in FAT on wich you hold any files (music, movies...) and second on wich you will move app data. With new version you can have on second partition ext2, ext3, or fat filesystem.

You need to have root of course. You can try make only one partition in sdcard, but in this case you have to make ext2 or ext3 partition on SDCard and I really dont know if it work. I didnt see option in link2SD where you can set your data partition so it will try to find second partition on sdcard.

I use 32GB sd card with 16GB with FAT filesystem and 16 in ext3 to move app data there.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
To create 2nd partition you need to use PC and a partition creating tool I use easeus maker.

You need to create partition and make it primary,if you use fat32 it will be supported by stock ROM.

Once done put card back in phone start link2sd and it will find new partition and ask how to handle select format that matches yours.

Then you can link all the apps you want apart from system apps.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themacboy:
I usually use AParted to format all my partitions on SD card from my phone.

As I said before, in my phone link2SD din't manage /data/data/x folder on second partition (ext2, ext3, ...), only manage /data/app/x and probably others.

Then if you try to move to ext2 partition (link) any app with a lot of data files stored, alll this files din't point to ext2, will remain in internal memory.

For exmaple:

Try to download Google Music app, link this app to ext2 partition. Now in app make ready a lot of file in offline mode. It will store all this temp song files in /data/data/com.google.andorid.music folder.

Now check in Link2SD and with any filebrowser, you will see that this files are always in internal memory because link2SD din't manage /data/data/x to link it to second partition on external sd.

:(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Sorry I can't help any more as I dont use that app you said. I do use link2sd and have no issues when linking the app to the ext SD card.

Remember you may see info still on data/app but the contents are sym linked.

But if you are sure you have set 2nd partition correct to primary and using fat32( stock supports this)

I can't help you further :( sorry
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00313:
I ended up just using Clean Master moving 19 apps to SD. There are many can't be moved but not too bad consider it is far more convenience than Folder Mount. I also removed SD booster which was tested to offer no speed advantage. Next will be battery drain problem. Boy I feel I have spent more time tweaking the android than actually utilizing it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smogf:
Now I'll check that once again (I had to buy new SD Card) and you have right. Link2SD move only:

APK File - /data/app/*.apk

Dex files - /data/dalvik-cache/data@app*.dex

Libraries - /data/data/*/lib/app_libraries

And other things from /data/data/ stays there. Only libraries are moved from this folder :(((

But Its a solution. Just use FolderMount from Google Play :) It works awesome.

Hi,

the latest builds don't seem to have the right mapping for "Deutsch (ß auf B)". Multi-pressing "S" still results in "ß" like in the standard German mapping, multi-pressing "B" doesn't work.

Is this something that can be fixed on the phone by editing some file? I'm currently on the nightly build 20131031 by Skrilax.

Thanks!

Karsten
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] motorowner:
It seems the counter of the country selection menu ist wrong by -1. So if you select "German (ß on B)" it results in "German (standard)"

If you select the country below "German (ß on B)" you should get exactly what you want.

I'm unable to look what ther name of the country to select ist, since I'm on CM11 official (w/o that feature).

The touchwiz drawer on my Galaxy S4 makes it difficult to rearrange apps ie. you have to move the apps one bye one to your page of preference. On top of that you can't rearrange pages in the drawer (you can do that only in the home screen).

Hey guys, do you know any good battery case that is fair in price? Because I don't wanna spend 100 dollars on a mophie juice pack, as I can get an 7000mAh battery from zerolemon for at least half of it, AND I don't consider the zerolemon in first option because of the big additional bulk.

So, can you help me guys?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deadh0b0:
Well, a battery case would make as much bulk as the ZeroLemon (If not more) and would be less protection than if you bought the ZeroLemon and the Rugged case that they have made, it is honestly not much bigger than an S3 with an OtterBox. They also provide pretty good protection for the phone and battery.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reVhAheqKvc My review of the Rugged case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rafael_lf:
My preference for the battery case is the possibility to put it only when I need and without having to turn the phone off, just carry it on my bag and only have the extra bulk when my battery is low
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deadh0b0:
If you are talking about like an external battery with a charger attached then that is a battery pack, not a case. Make sure you know which one you're talking about when you post stuff about this so people don't get confused.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rafael_lf:
I know what is a battery case, it seems like you didn't understand my post. The battery case you can put when you want, like every other case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deadh0b0:
Why would you carry around a case and not have it on all the time? You could just buy an external battery pack and have more battery power.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rafael_lf:
Because it's easier to me this way, so I won't have the bulk all the time. And I'm always with my backpack, because I need to carry other things, so the battery case would be only one more thing on my backpack :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] codemonkey98:

This is terribly inefficient. You're effectively charging 1 battery with another battery. I could see using one if you had no other option, but the gs3 has a removable battery.

If you have all that extra room in your bag, why not just keep the Zero Lemon in it instead? The added bulk doesn't look to be that different.

i don't think battery case will be your solution, i suggest you buy a original battery+external charger to your backup..

There are many competitors such as qcell4200mah, 5star america which is slightly smaller when compared to the Zerolemon 7000mAh battery & cover. Personally i use zerolemon it does add a very noticable girth to the phone but i work and travel for long periods of time away from my desk so it is the most suitable method of increasing batterylife for me. If you're crazy about going long periods without charging your phone i advise Zerolemon. If not just get a couple spare standard batteries.
