this guide shows how to change the boot logo, not the boot animation

boot logo is the logo that is shown before the animation​

Tools required:

1. LogoBuilder --- http://d-h.st/k96

2. Stock logo.bin --- Get the file from your device (/dev/logo)

3. Required boot logo files, in png format

4. Common sense duh!!!

once you have the required files, extract LogoBuilder

Rename the file from your device (logo) to logo.bin and proceed to the next post
​
[Micromax A116] blackbeard:
1. Open LogoBuilder.exe

2. Click Create New Project

3. Select the logo.bin file you extracted from the device

4. Make a new folder for the project, any name will do

5. Select the folder and click on OK

You will see a progress bar running down. After finishing, you will get a whole bunch of images in the above selected folder
​
[Micromax A116] blackbeard:
1. Open the folder containing all the images

2. Make a note of the sizes of img1.png and img39.png

The desired boot logo file must be a png file having resolution same as that of img1.png

3. Delete only img1.png and img39.png

4. Rename the desired boot logo file to img1.png and paste it in the folder

5. Make a copy of img1.png and rename it to img39.png

6. Click on Make button

​
[Micromax A116] blackbeard:
In the selected folder, you'll get a file named update.zip

Flash that file using cwm and enjoy the new boot logo

Messed something up

Hello, I know this thread is about a year old, but I hope I can get some help here. I was trying to change the logo on my MTK device and I did not pay attention to the part where you were supposed to flash the finalized file with CWM, I instead just extracted the logo.bin file from the Update.zip and then just pushed it to /dev/ but before doing that I rename the original file to logo.nn Now my device won't go pass the original boot logo. I can get to adb but only to sideload. I've tried the update.zip generated from the LogoBuilder_v1.4 and still cannot boot up. I do not have the image for this device to just flash it and restore everything to factory. I have tried to clear cache and factory defaults thru stock recovery but it still doesn't boot up.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
[Micromax A116] ArticK:
How I can change bootanimation inside repack folder logo, I already change the image inside there as default image (see picture number 1) with my custom image (see picture number 2) but after the folder is rebuild to logo.bin an flash it, nothing change except img1.png and img2.png.

I hope somebody can solved this issue

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpk:
(I tried to ask this clarification on the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069727, but being a newbee, I have to come here!)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 obtained in India, in 2011.

Recently I rooted it, and flashed with Cm10. But due to some problem it ended soft-bricked.

I recovered it with heimdall (oneclick.jar), and restocked it using Odin3 v1.7, with firmware obtained from another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881981) on xda-developers. (I have not gone on to the overcome part, since I was doubtful about the phone/modem file to be flashed!)

Now the tab shows:

Firmware version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: Unknown

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEP-52 #2

Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1

So my doubts are the following:

1. Which of the modem files/ firmware listed in this thread should I use to get the phone/3g connectivity, which I was using?

Should I use the JPZ or JP4 or some other modem? How to determine this clearly? (or can I use the reply "priyana - 4th May 2012, 01:21 AM" to Ganesh2606?) on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069727

2. Will the tab be bricked if I flash a wrong modem file? If it is not bricked and if the first one is not correct, can I flash another modem?

3. The Serial number, IMEI, IMEI SV numbers, and WiFi, Bluetooth mac address are all currently blank/ 'unavailable'. Will it be OK once I install the correct modem?

Just bought 2 kindle fire HDX on craigslist and one ended up on the stolen list!!! This sucks as it was my sons christmas gift. I contacted amazon and they said just keep it but it cannot access amazon services. Is there anyway to bypass it? I know you can sideload apps but i cannot install a file manager. I tried contacting the person that sold it to me to get a refund and also tried returning to amazon but both came up empty. Any help would be appreciated as i have tried to do the right thing. Please let me know. My daughters kindle is fine so i need to try and get this one working.

Hi can anyone tell me what there camera in video mode is like as mine really bad wondered if something wrong any help
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brildenlanch:
You can up the quality in the settings. I'm sure you already know how but Camera>Menu>Settings then click the camcorder. Make sure you have at least 1920x1080(16:9) selected. If you're not satisfied try upping it to 3840 but watch out because the files it creates take up a lot of space. I almost think that the screen is just so great you notice static and such much more than you would on a lesser quality screen.

Also do you have a Samsung Flip cover open so the plastic is covering the lens? I have to take care to not do this as it does create considerable noise when you are taking video.

to root it you would need to unlock the bootloader.. use advanced stock kernel by doomlord and then flash the supersu_fixed file... then flash the stock kernel again and relock the bootloader if you love the "Bravia Engine"

is this possible in uk.

eg call a 3g mobile and have video call from a pv

when do you mean ?

do you want to call a 3g phone with your 2g phone and do a video call ?

do you want to call a 3g phone with your pc and do a video call ?

do you want to use wifi to connect to the internet on your network

and access a 3g phone that way ?

I need to make a 3g video call from a PC and record the video on a PC.

Also recive a 3g video call on a PC and record the video.

well

much like you cant just call a normal cellphone over the internet without some sort of portal like skype

you cant do it with 3g

maybe when skype or a service like it do a skype out/in with video streaming you could do it

another way would maybe be a pcmcia 3g card if it have software which support video calls too

Stupid question time:

Can a device such as the Xda Exec offer its Mobile Phone (shall we call it) 'capabilites' as a 'service' over say Bluetooth or USB or whatever?

If it could and this service set up on a COM port, then any connected PC (or whatever) could then connect to and then use this service and hence do as requested? ....

Or am I completely off track here? :oops:

[Networking] Rudegar:
not sure about exec but as i understand

the other older htc devices seem to have their

pda and gsm modules somewhat devided

which is one of the reasons software answering machines dont seem to be able to work on them

so i'm not sure if it's possible for the device to redirect a audio/video stream to the in the case with the exec it's UTMS module

or gsm module if we talk about old 2g devices

but i'm not sure this is the case with the later modules with 2.5G and 3G

and before long i guess video calls with messenger will be possible with

3g phones and or skype

and when such programs are more real general programs streaming audio and video to and from the device running those applications would be much more easy to handle
[Networking] cliffai:
These services aren't available in the UK yet.

It is offered by SingTel...

I think there would be far more demand for Fixed to Mobile video calling than the current Mobile to Mobile offering.
[Networking] kevino:
Isn't it more the case that the functionality wasn't in the Microsoft API's rather than the fact that that Windows Mobile is not a realtime OS so dual processors are needed to run the radio and OS independently?

The reason for me thinking this is that you can use Wireless Modem.

I bought the nexus 4 recently and I've been in love with it ever since.

But.

When I play music, the on screen volume controls don't work. The physical keys on the side work fine.

But the on screen volume control defect vanishes when I'm on a call. When im on a call, I can vary the volume on the screen itself.

However, in the settings, I can change the master volume and that's it.

What can I do to make the on screen volume controls work again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
Just curious if there are any fellow Note 3 users of this app: Cellcrypt

And if so, what your thoughts are on it? This is the first that I've seen with voice encryption.

It seems pretty legit, but it's interesting how there's an office in the state of Virginia. :rolleyes:

Just thinking outside of the box: If I was one of the three letter gov [MENTION=477569]GenT[/MENTION]cies and wanted to create a platform to lure in those who's wanting secure communication, wouldn't it be proactive to create or have your hands in with a company who develops these kind of things?

I just have a trust issue with big companies and the you know who's being so nosy. Heck, I don't even trust our carriers...

So the big question is, for those who need secure communication (encrypted) what would be the best way to go? :confused:

Cellcrypt uses your data pipeline.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] the-Mike_D:
Your common sense already gave you the answer to your question. It may be nice encryption for general privacy but the big 3 letter gov agencies will surely have access to anything you say. If you don't believe it then try the men in black litmus test. Say something naughty that you know people dare not say and see if men in black show up to greet you ;)

Knowing all this I still sometimes use redphone and textsecure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iunlock:
Granted, using a VPN with Cellcrypt or RedPhone would make it a heck of a lot harder for intruders.

The only way I see it possible for anyone (carrier and them) to get anything from you is obviously from the carrier themselves being in bed with "them," to sell themselves out upon their request. (Logs etc...) However, with your phone connecting to the tower and the data being encrypted along with a vpn (already encrypted data within a vpn encrypted tunnel), I'm still having a hard time comprehending how the data can be cracked? We're talking some serious encryption that would even take super computers thousands++++ of years to even 'not even make a dent.'

Looking at it from a birds eye view:

Phone -> VPN -> Cellcrypt or RedPhone App -> Encrypted Data -> Tower -> VPN exit server -> Encrypted Data -> www/sms/voip

The only point of interception is the companies themselves..ie..Cellcrypt / RedPhone etc...

But, even then how would they be able to crack the encryption? (Probably because they hold the encryption keys?)

It would be interesting to get some insight on all this from the fellow members who are well versed in this stuff....

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcma:
Hi - I'm new to these forums and was hoping someone could offer me some advice.

Recenty the only way I can get my S3 mini to work correctly is if its connected to a power source. The device has started to power itself off whilst using it and then it tries to reboot many times unsuccessfully. It seems like it is caught in a restarting loop.

A number of people have recommended I get a full software reset installed, I've used the Samsung Kies to update/reinstall the software but the issue still exists. I was wondering if I went down the route of flashing my fone would this resolve the issue? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Um that's kinda the HF theme to it. You can change it but you'd need a root browser and a new image.

The slider we opted for our HF logo. Yes we want center clock too. That's on the list to be added.

For nav bar, does it do anything? Like the option gets checked then unchecked? Can you be a but more specific please.

As for LCD density not working, how are you attempting to change it?

Have you rebooted yet? Also how's your data connectivity?

Really looking forward to trying this ROM

Hi,

My phone is stock Verizon rooted, debloated, and running TWRP. I installed the LG Verizon United drivers, and my computer recognizes it great with or without USB Debugging on when the phone is powered on, but when I boot into TWRP, and plug it into the PC my computer on sees it as an "Other Device G2". When I type "adb devices", it will not recognize the phone, and I cant flash the ROM or other files with adb push or adb sideload. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times. I have also tried going into Device Manager and pointing it to the driver, but it still will not recognize it. I also tried rebooting the PC with the phone still plugged in, but that didn't help either. Of course I have tried different USB ports and USB cords with no luck either. I even tried installing the entire Android SDK, and pointing the "other device g2" to that driver, but it will not recognize that driver either. So, when I wipe my data, system, and dalvik, if I've put your ROM and gapps in my phone storage, wiping data will erase them, leaving me with a factory reset, rooted phone and no ROM to install. BTW, I am running Windows 7, 32-Bit, and of course I have installed all the latest updates.

Any suggestions? :confused:
[G2 Android Development] gusly:
Why don't you just do it all on the recovery and not through adb?
[G2 Android Development] ki4lhl:
If I wipe System, which is recommended when installing the ROM, I will be erasing the ROM off my phone, so I can't flash it from the recovery.
[G2 Android Development] gusly:
Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Erase the previous ROM, then replace it with whichever custom one you want?
[G2 Android Development] ki4lhl:
If I store the Hellfire ROM & gapps on my internal storage, then I wipe data, I will be wiping the Hellfire ROM & gapps! And I can't copy it back to the phone, because my computer won't recognize it. For what it's worth, I am using TWRP 2.6.3.3. Do I need to be using 2.6.3.2 instead, or does this even matter?
[G2 Android Development] gusly:
When you're wiping with TWRP, you can choose to not wipe internal storage :P There's also a 2.6.3.4 now which wipes the cache a lot faster, so I would suggest getting that.
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
I normally keep a few Roms in internal I know.work that way if I download a new ROM and it won't flash because it is borked I will.have back ups. Never wipe internal unless you like pushing Roms via your computer.

I couldnt find 2.6.3.4, but I did see that you were correct, and you can set TWRP not to wipe internal storage. I also found the problem to my adb while in recovery issue. I just had to download Koush's universal ADB driver: http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver
