Hi guys,

Today I've made a boot animation for my Samsung Galaxy S II plus, but after I did everything right, and I'm for sure I did it right, it doesn't work at my phone, and the standard android booting animations shows up. Does someone know what I've done wrong? My animation zip is like this:

Bootanimation.zip --> Part0 --> Image000.png [...] Image139.png

Part1 --> Image140.png

Desc.txt -->

480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1

I've followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852621

Please let me know what I did wrong.

Kind regards, Rick

Yes, download rom toolbox, go rom installer and rom extras. Download bootanimation fixer zip and flash it in cwm. S2 plus doesn't overwrite stock bootanimation so u need download that zip :)

And you need place it right folder. My custom bootanimation is in data/local
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] xR13Tx:
Ah well,

I did what you said, thank you! Don't know if it works yet, I will move the zip now.

-Rick
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] xR13Tx:
Nope, I'm sorry but it doesn't work at all. If I reboot my phone now I'm seeing the Samsung Logo and after that my phone turns black, untill it is booted and I can use it. I've flashed the ZIP you gave me, and rebooted my phone. After this i copied the bootanimation zip to the location you gave me and the standard location. Got another idea? BTW, I'm using android 4.4.2, maybe that's the problem?

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
I needs a modified bootanimation file wich is located in system/bin wich we dont have
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] rs tony:
Oh well thats gonna be problem. Try this: go rom toolbox-> interface-> bootanimations. Then download and install one of them. I got that matrix bootanimation installed. Try that and tell me does it work. If it works, go root explorer and search that file where it is. And ifvu don't have same permission than that screenshot, set them and try again. You can also try system/media folder, there is orginal bootanimation.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] rs tony:
Or maybe hi is right. Don't have 4.4.2 but 4.1.2 it works :p
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] xR13Tx:
And which file is this?

I'll try this imediatly, thnx for our help!

I can't find anything like this. I wake up this morning to a call and upon hanging up, the hang up sound is a lower tone than normal. I think nothing of it since I'm still out of it. Later, I adjust the phone volume and the beep that it makes is the same lower tone. At this point I try putting on music and it sounds like it went down an octave. I'm kind of freaking out because this is a MAJOR problem for me. It does the same thing when I plug headphones in so it isn't just the speaker. How in the world does this happen and what can I do to fix it? Was there an update this morning that may have done this?

Factory reset your phone via recovery, or flash official firmware via Odin
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinkerwerkz:
Thanks sir for the response.. can you help me how to flash the official firmware? And also i checked on the knox my knox was tripped 0x1 will it be back to 0x0? Sorry newbie question.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekasulaberidze:
Your KNOX will always 0x1, so at first download official firmware from sammobile.com than download odin, in AP choose your extracted firmware md5 file and flash it after successfully flashing it must say PASS! when your phone finishes booting go to recovery and factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinkerwerkz:
Is there a selection of firmware which I will download or I will just select for the Note 3 9005? Since this is the first time doing that kind of flashing and rooting.. BTW after I flash the firmware and factory reset I can proceed in rooting?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekasulaberidze:
yes go to firmwares and choose what region you want I have n900 but on n9005 I preffer BTU britain firmware, after that you can root your phone using cfautoroot

Hello guys i am newbie here from Turkey Istanbul

I used note 10.1 original one and then updated to 2014 edition because there was no update after 4.1.2

now its a de javu... my question is , is it clever to root and flash custom rom or stick with stock rom and wait for official updates?

I would like to flash custom rom but if there will be an official update that makes exynos works much more efficient and with new touchwiz i will devastate.

So guys i need opinions with clever reasons...

thanks a lot....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] KwestJones:
Why not do both? You can always go back to stock after rooting and it is likely the devs will get their hands on any release before it comes out officially.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] highfb:
Yess right but i use my note as a pc do all my works and my media on this tab so it is always hard and painfull for me to reset the tab.

I know no one has opinion about the date of official updates but it will come in a month i can sti k but if it will take decades i'll flash rom immedieatly

and also read that with custom roms we can use 4 multiapp function am i right.

and last question what is the best custom rom for our tab? Any opinions¿
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] KwestJones:

I flash new custom ROM everyday)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Medy89:
From my expirenece custom roms are totally unneccary on up to date devices.... if you want customisation get xposed installer .... stock rom gives you stability & all features .... debloat with titanium and youre totally fine .... get your neet extra features with xposed isntaller & gravity box / wanam exposed modules...

its funny when i ask ppl what their custom rom gives them .. they cant name a single feature I cant get on stock ....

if you have an old device with outdated firmware its another story

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] megamanDJ:
You get these notifications through the gallery app? Are the messages showing up in the notification tray? And last, does it affect the app in any way, or just annoy you? There are apps that have the function to block all notifications broadcasted through individual apps. I use Android Tuner to do that. There is a setting when selecting an app in the app manager through the app that allows you to do that. You will also find an unbelievable amount of things you can do to your phone with this app as well.

Hello.

When I go to Settings/Memory space I have this:

- Aplication memory

- Internal memory

- SD card

Internal memory is almost empty, SD card is also ok - still enough space (all my apps are there).

But I have a problem with Aplication memory partition. I m not sure what that means???

It s almost full - 1,65GB/1,91GB. I can t find a way to release space there. The only option my phone offers to me is to uninstall aplications. But why should I uninstal apps if they are all on SD card???

So please tell me what can I do?

Thanks for help.

My CX-919/Measy U2C-D/Belkin Ethernet/USB 2.0 Hub combination: "Frankendongle"

I have been tinkering around with my CX-919/Measy U2C-D dock since I purchased them and wanted to show off my results thus far.

I wanted to add features while keeping the whole system as compact as possible. I also didn't want to block any of the connectors or ports so that I could maintain maximum flexibility and usability in the system.

The CX-919 has its own Micro SD slot and the Measy dock adds an additional full-size SD slot as well.

I would call this system 99% complete, as I'm building a custom cable that will bring power to the USB hub via the micro USB connector on the dock.

I'm using the coaxial power connector next to the micro USB connector with a 2.4-amp adapter for power. The two are hardwired in parallel so by utilizing the micro USB connector for power I can fully power the USB 2.0 Hub.

When the cable is finished the system will be considered "complete".

(I have the pieces here at home. but the "good heat shrink tubing" is at work so I'm waiting in order to make a better looking cable.)

I present for your entertainment: Frankendongle

The system:

*CX-919 Android Mini PC -modified with Finless ROM and copper SOC heatsinks. (A very fast and stable runner)

*Measy U2C-D dock -modified to allow full horizontal rotation and a layer of Velcro for mounting other devices

*Belkin USB-to-Ethernet dongle -modified with Velcro to secure it to the U2C-D dock

*USB 2.0 Hub (make/model unverified -eBay purchase, but any Android-compatible hub that fits the space will do!) -modified with a longer USB cable to allow for use with this system and Velcro to secure it to the U2C-D dock

Top view showing off some of the system's footprint and copper SOC heat sinks.

Front and rear views.

I wanted one free USB port on the rear for use with a USB hard drive.

The dock acts as a USB Hub on its own, and I wanted the Hard Drive and Ethernet adapters to only go through one USB hub for better performance. It's for this reason they are plugged directly into the dock itself and not through the additional USB hub .

Currently the system is being used with an iHome wireless keyboard/mouse for which you see the receiver plugged into the 1st USB port on the hub.

Side view.

This shows the Ethernet connector as well as the USB Hub's coaxial power port.

When completed, the custom power cable plug into this port to fully power the hub and allow for compatibility with the widest array of USB gear.

I use the system as a secondary one for surfing the web and watching videos when I don't want to fire up my big Windows PC. It also works great for retro gaming which I'm fond of.

It's certainly not the prettiest setup, but like I stated earlier it is very compact and works well for it's intended purpose.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] mpwalters:
Looks neat. Were you able to complete the wiring with the heat shrink tubing? Not that it needs it, but was curious.

Hi all!

Today I have noticed a very strange thing.

After 300+ hours of uptime, the volume keys stopped working.

I couldn't turn the ringtone's volume up or down, however I could take a photo with the volume buttons using the camera and I could also take a screenshot of the homescreen, but I couldn't turn the volume up or down.

This also happened a few weeks ago, after about 200+ uptime...

After a reboot, everything works fine!

I am on FULL STOCK 4.4.2!

Is it a software related bug or a hardware?

Has anybody face this issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] Rafe:
Hello friends!

I'm new here, but I bring a novelty that can cheer us, the owners of the Z1!

It is known that the Doomkernel V11 allows you to calibrate the display of our Z1 and this together with the White Balance, can greatly improve the display quality.

What we need?

1 - Unlocked bootloader

2 - Root

3 - V11 Doomkernel

4 - KitKat

Step 1: Set the White Balance with RGB values ​​to your liking, I use 255 for everything;

Step 2: Install Faux123 or Pimp Z1, so you have access to calibration setting of the display.

Step 3: Set the RGB values ​​in one of the APPs cited above (I prefer the Pimp Z1) to between 70 and a maximum of 150, the choice you prefer

And voila!

The display loses the yellow dye, gets saturated colors and angles of vision far superior!

Sure we lost a bit of the maximum brightness of the display.

Do your tests and come back here to comment!

Thanks all!

(Forgive my bad english!):good:
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
So without DooMLoRD v11 kernel is not possible the calibrations? Withe Balance only..
[Xperia Z1 General] Rafe:
Exactly! Only the white balance is not sufficient, it is necessary the gamma calibration of the DoomKernel.

Hey guys, don't forget to press thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] Paradelle:
For what?
[Xperia Z1 General] Rafe:

R: 115

G: 100

B: 126

The Sony's TFT isn't bad at all. It's just a matter of calibration. We have some TFTs in the past like Xperia Ion, Xperia TX and Xperia V, all having good calibrations on the display.

[About XDA developers] dstarfire:
xda-developers.com is listed as one of the sites affected by the heartbleed bug, but testing tool now shows no vulnerability. A quick search shows no

Why aren't you bragging about patching this bug and how awesome you are at protecting our data?

At the very least, a notice about what's being done to protect xda and how it affects users would be much appreciated.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
I'm curious what site it was listed on?

Just for anyone who is interested...

As soon as the severity of the flaw was clear, we began updating our machines. Some services use pre-built packages and others use custom-compiled software (using the flawed openssl version). We updated all of our services within 30 minutes or so.

The xdaforums.com hostname uses a 3rd party service who was still vulnerable to heartbeat after we patched our internal services. We opened a ticket with them - I'm sure by that point they were aware of the issue and a fix was already in the works. About an hour after that they had patched their services.

This is definitely one of the worst security flaws in the history of the internet - you pretty much have to assume that any communications thought protected by https have been compromised unless there were other protections in addition to SSL.

Unless there is updated information that I was unable to see, your SSL certificate is showing as being from 7 months ago. Shouldn't it be updated since that was part of the information that was vulnerable to Heartbleed?
[About XDA developers] wto605:
Are there any plans to replace and revoke the SSL certificates that were on the vulnerable servers? Since there are no logs it is impossible to know if anyone was able to obtain the private key for these certificates, and until revoked xda remains vulnerable to stealth MITM attacks.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
New certs are in process... the CA's are a bit backlogged.

We are vulnerable to stealth MITM attacks only if someone has recorder/intercepted our traffic, and also if someone was able to decode our private key. Of which both are unlikely (but possible). So while we do work to replace our certs, the priority is "hey, we are doing this" and not "hey, let's shut down our ssl services."
