Hi!

I'm trying to compile Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4 and I got stuck on the same error that I can't find how to solve...

Maybe someone knows what the kind of message I get means, here is the end of my last attempt, it's about variables missing in the file "SecuritySettings.java" or something like that : pastebin.com/5Bgb4KhF

Thanks, some help would me very much appreciated! :)

New Sony 4.4.2 KitKat Boot Animation is out but I don't really like original color...

Then I created 5 alternative colors ;)

Now if you want, you have Black, Blue, Green, Orange and Red variants!

I created them for our Xperia SP (and all XHDPI Xperia 720x1280 screens)

Work on rooted 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 Sony and custom roms.

Always make nandroid backup before flashing anything!

To install bootanimation:

1. Put your chosen zip in your SD card,

2. Reboot recovery and flash zip,

Restart and enjoy!

To uninstall and recover default bootanimation:

Simply delete "bootanimation.zip" located in data / local

To manually install:

1. Extract "bootanimation.zip" from your chosen zip,

2. Put it in your SD card.

3. With a root explorer, move it in data / local,

4. Check file permissions: RW- R-- R--

Save and reboot...

If you want to use my work, just ask my permission...

Bootanimation work. Bootsound dont work for me when I put it to /data/local

I havent tested it in /system/media
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Steph310:
I kept original sound bootanimation in zip but I think it only works on Sony roms (no on CM based roms)...
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] jakoba-1995:
Well i have it in /system/media right now and bootsound actually works.

Very nice work!
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Steph310:
I don't like bootsound but I kept it. Delight it works for you!

Remember that now, in system/media, you will need to put again bootanimation.zip after each update.

data/local is more easier but actually the sound is lost.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] jakoba-1995:
Well Thanks for the reminder, I didn't now that.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] smogf:
Confirmed. In /system/media bootsound works. I wonder why not from /data/local :(
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Androidkeeda:
Can anybody confirmed that it will work on eXistenZ 1.3.7 or not?
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Azev:
Works great with sound on XSP eXistenZ 1.3.7. I choose the blue and it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Steph310:

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Androidkeeda:
Wow! Its working on eXistenZ... And i put it on media folder... No complaints... I dont knw why we should move it to data folder cz i dont know which update all are talking about for data folder and stuff...

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Steph310:
Yes, JPG or PNG using Gimp, Photoshop,...

When I will have time, I will remake bootanimations using light PNG picture format.

Zip will be lighter...
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] pepitoff:

I'm using your colorized bootanimations to make the same but resized to my device Xperia Arc S.

Yes you can (If you create a thread, quote me).

And think to change screen size in "desc.txt"! ;)

shutdown screen

Hello All,

With some helpful advice from these forums, I was able to replace the China Unicom boot animation from my Xperia ZL with a stock version. FYI, this was located in /system/media on my phone.

However, I still have the China Unicom shutdown animation playing on shutdown. Any ideas on where this might be, and how to remove/replace it?

Please help me get this annoying Chinese branding off my phone. I would sincerely appreciate it.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] maxolini:
I just bought an L9 P679 metro pcs

at my local best buy for 99 bux

i carrier sim unlocked it so it can accept a tmobile sim chip and lock in to the network

i will plan to use it as my main phone

current android specs as follows

Android Version 4.1.2

Baseband Version L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1305.00

Kernel Version 3.0.31

Build Number JZO54K

Software Version LGMS76910e

Questions

1

when it boots you see the LG logo Followed by the metro pcs splash screen then the home screen

Changing the bootloader to Tmobile will make the METRO splash go away and instead see the Tmobile splash creen ?

2

I saw Tmobile US bootloader and Some Euro version that many people looks to love

What is the diference between the 2

3

Do i need to Unlock the bootloader to i can install CWM and the install CM10.1

or i need to root only

4

I saw a Tmobile Radio update file

do you need to apply that patch to your phone so it works better, like having better reception ? or

i just leave that alone

the method of rooting and boot unlock the L9 , seems to be more complicated than when i installed CWM and

Flashed my Samsung Exibith 4G with CM10.1

btw

altough the L9 is not a snapdragon dual core, the dual core TI chipset churns nice

i was playing with it and there is night and day speed increase between my Galaxy exibith 4g ( 1 core ) vs the L9 ( dual core )

not to say the bigger screen

but for 99 bux is the poors man Galaxy S2

Thanks for your time guys

Max. :cool:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asenkyr:
Hello,

Problem:

My Meizu MX3 (runs Flyme os 3 based on android 4.2.2) has preset "Camera" in the DIRECTORY_DCIM environment variable. Most of the camera apps respect this setting and they are saving photos in the Camera instead of the DCIM. This causes problems with automatic syncing, because photos are obviously expected to be in the DCIM.

Partial solutions:

I tried symlinking the two dirs, but as far as i know it is not possible in the FUSE used since the 4.2.2.

mount -o bind led to the duplicity in the gallery app and i don't consider it too "clean" solution.

I ended up with modifying source of Focal open source camera not to read DIRECTORY_DCIM env var, but rather just to save the picture into the DCIM directly.

Is there a way to change this variable on boot? I don't want to use any 3rd party apps for simple things like this. Editing init.rc led to nothing, because it is always replaced by the default one from the ramdisk.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Have you tried making an init.d script to export the value you want? I haven't looked at the source code so I don't know if that'll make a difference, but that's the only thing I can think of, short of modifying the API call using e.g. Xposed (somewhat similar to what this mod does.)

You may want to link the SO question you also created, in case you get a working answer there, so anyone stumbling on this page will find the way to that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asenkyr:
The init.d dir was not on my phone, so i tried creating it. Scripts from there do not get run on the startup, which brings me back to the problem with editing init.rc.

I will probbly just keep using modified camera until they release Ubuntu mobile for mx3 - which according to rumors could be soon :)

Thank you for your time
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrayon:
Check if in your init.rc there is something like

service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Then you can edit/create that script and enable running init.d scripts with:

busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

search on this forum for more info ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asenkyr:
Thank you, your guide worked and my scripts in init.d now get executed :)

Sadly, exporting the variable in script residing in init.d does nothing (the script itself gets executed, i tried echoing "test" in file). There must be something, which keeps reseting the DIRECTORY_DCIM to its original value, or else i'm out of ideas :)

Or am i assuming incorrectly, that Java code

Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM

should read env variable settable by

export DIRECTORY_DCIM="DCIM"

?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrayon:
Actually now that you say that I checked my init.rc and I don't have that. Plus if I try

echo DIRECTORY_DCIM

I have nothing, so at least for me it's not set there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asenkyr:
For me echoing the varible also returns nothing, but reading it by Java returns "Camera".

Since it was my only clue, i hoped it could be reset by exporting DIRECTORY_DCIM (since android docs states that

android.os.Environment provides acces to environment vars) I guess i was wrong.

Is there any other kind of emvironment variables, i am not aware of?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrayon:
I checked that variable is hardcoded in the android.os.Environment class.

I can think of three methods to test to change that but I didn't test any:

Use exposed framework to change the call that gets DIRECTORY_DCIM, if that's possible it's probably the best choice.

Edit and compile again android.os.Environment (I have no idea how to do that or if it's even possible)

Make a script that monitors your X folder to move pictures to DCIM folder

I can help you with the last one ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asenkyr:
The xposed is great idea, but unfortunately it doesn't work. It says "unknown option -- c" which as far as i know has something to do with bad (probably outdated?) version of SU. Meizu's firmware is probably more customized android than i previously thought.

Now i'm using the solution you also advised - i am automatically moving media from Camera to DCIM - i was hoping for more clean solution, but i guess this is as close as i'll ever get :) (don't get me wrong, it works as it is supposed to. I'm just a perfectionist :D)

Thank's for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrayon:
np ;) I'm a perfectionist too and it's always cool to learn how things work and can be hacked :p
[AT&T LG G2] Skizzy034:
I just tried flashing AeonFlex and I thought I had bricked my phone. When I rebooted from the recovery after flashing the LG logo would come up for a second and then an all black screen. I couldn't do anything. I tried everything and eventually I got it into recovery and restored the stock backup I made. Is there a problem with my recovery maybe? I used the recovery from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2589950 because I got a G2 with 10o already installed. Is there a specific version of twrp someone can recommend for me also with instructions on how to flash it to this G2 with 10o?

I tried flashing the 2.6.3.3 zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but I keep getting a "failed" result in the twrp that I flashed from the other thread above. Does anyone have a working recovery for the AT&T G2 with 10o that they could post for me please?

I had same issue. What happened to me is when I took ota from 10b shipping build to 10o then I rooted and installed twrp with freege. When I did this it would only put a older version of twrp and would never update. Threw numerous reInstalls and attempts to flash zips of newer version 3.3 at the time it would not update nor would it flash a Rom would be able to wipe backup and what ever else but flash a Rom would end up black screen and would have to flash backup.I tried with cwm and same result.but I did manage to flash New version of twrp. Threw cwm so I thought I was finally good. Wrong!! I tried everything. . only way out is to return to stock period!!!! I got back on stock and installed newest twrp and can flash every rom out there for my device..finally :D happy flashing!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:Hope this long story clears this up.

Hi there,, it seems a tricky one..

i remember when i hardreset my XdaIIi, there was a very convenient button for screen rotating juz on the lower panel of Today screen (together with bluetooth and wifi icon/button aside).

then one day i found the button simply dispeared...

i know i can purchase some third-party software which may provide screen-rotation plugin on Today....juz dun bother to do that and i believe the build-in one usua comes with the best compatibility.

some fd used to tell me that i might edit regidit to fix the problem..but i find the key value is set '1' for displaying screen rotation button on the Today panel, which means it is enabled.

i dun feel like another hardrest coz iv got many important info and soft on my XDAIIi.

I recommend using Fat32, because it plays the nicest with Android across the board. If it won't let you format to Fat32 on the device, use a computer to do so.
[Other SmartWatches] wareynolds:
Can someone clarify something. There are a lot of the phones out there that use a use a GSM sim. I do not plan on using a watch as a phone as I do not want to pay for another monthly fee. I need something that will work as a watch and alert me/vibrate when I get an alert as my hearing is not the best (and phone vibration in pocket does not always get my attention). The pebble does this, but is sort of boring/limited. The Gear is way to expensive and the Sony smartwatch2 is a little pricey.

I am unclear if these other ones like the smartQ and the ZGPAX will work for me if I do not use the built in cellular. Are there other options under $150usd that I should consider?

Thanks

Walt
[Other SmartWatches] at2smithjason:
I do believe that if the smartwatch runs off GSM that a SIM would be required, unless it syncs off your phone using Bluetooth. For the watches that are stand alone units, thats when I would have to say that a SIM is required. If you look at the Neptune Pine, it asks what service do you want (GSM or CDMA).
[Other SmartWatches] ronfurro:
My advice would be to give it a couple of months as this tech. starts to trickle out of CES and hit the shelves. There are tons of models rolling out that will fit your needs, this is quickly becoming a saturated market. I had a chance to play with some and most of the good ones have what your looking and even more, if your willing to pay more. Seems that most are trying to hit a common price point, so there will be many options.

I've been having the same problem with the AT&T G2 on 10o. Besides downloading, do you think this will work for any of those roms?
[G2 General] feldenthorne:
The listed carrier/software variants in the current (Wed Jan 22 2014) CM11 G2 repo's loki_patch.c (and the uploaded loki_patch zip file) are:

AT&T: D80010d, D80010o

Verizon: VS98010b, VS98012b

T-Mobile / Canada: D80110c or D803

International: D802b

Sprint: LS980ZV7

KT / LGU: F320K, F320L

SKT: F320S, F320S11c

If you were to compile the current (Wed Jan 22 2014) loki_patch.c from https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/blob/master/loki_patch.c (sorry, can't post links because of new member restrictions) yourself, you'd get an added compatibility with:

DoCoMo: L-01F

On PURELY SPECULATIVE terms, there's a good chance other versions of the software for the different carriers could be supported if you download the Loki source and compile it after adding another entry (format shown below in code tags) for your specific carrier/software version. But I don't know anything about the code and have no reason to look into it, so I can't confirm this. Plus, I don't own a G2 myself and can't test this method anyway.
