[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
seeing as I also used bootanimation factory explains why we both have flickering issue, I am pretty sure the flickering is caused by the fact that not every picture is cut as a whole but a few of them only cut the transitions
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I'll try it with after effects and see what happens
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
if you can share link to after effects that would be cool(always looking for more programs to play with my android stuff)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
This worked pretty well on my G2. It actually cycled through 2x almost perfectly.

Here's a video of it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
definitely better now
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
So just name this boot animation_sprint.zip and place in media after removing the other one right?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
I'm not sure what's going on with your setup. I've never seen 4 bootanimations in the media folder like that. I would be willing to bet you could just add .bak as an extension to all of them and just push this new one to that folder. You should only need one bootanimation file in there.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
The one posted earlier worked except the glitches.. Without moving. Bak at the end.. I moved yours to the folder fixed permissions and gave it the correct name and it gets to wolverine and never finishes boot
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
So you did to this one exactly what you did with the first one and it doesn't finish? Don't know what to say since it boots perfectly for me. Zombie, did you try it out for yourself?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
The other ones that zombie posted were flash able... Was yours? That's the only difference
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
No, but I can make a flashable one if you need it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
That would be great hopefully that will work lol.. It does look awesome
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Okay, try this one. I just replaced the earlier file with my bootanimation that I renamed...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
I don't get it... I flash that one same result rename other two files with bak and flash... Same result.. ????
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
just give me a moment and I will have it up and running
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
Thank you both for your help.. I've restored about 5 times so far lol... I know my phone is like... Uh.....wtf
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Do you both have 4 different bootanimations in your media folder? I only have 1...don't really know how your bootanimation can work like that. The separate parts of the bootanimations should be listed as part folders within the main bootanimation.zip. Like part0, part1, part2...not all these separate boots.

Weird...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
The first one is the lg logo boot i'm guessing besides the sprint one since those other two carriers are sisters to sprint that's why they are there... Are you with sprint?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you can just flash the other flashable animation I had made instead of doing full restores
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
AT&T, here's my media folder
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
I didn't even think of that lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you are on a debloated rom aren't you because usually there are other files in there

edit: just noticed cm file manager
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
And I'm on stock zvc with some extra mods nothing spectacular or that would cause it not to work
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
ParanoidAndroid...but there's never really anything in there even on the AT&T ROM if I'm not mistaken. However, I still think it'd be worth trying to get rid of everything and just use one bootanimation.zip. That's all I've ever seen or used, even on stock ROM's. Except for the uber-crazy Samsung's and their qmg files...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
actually on stock rom there are like 10 bin files and some ecl files in addition to boot/shutdown animations and audio
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
If you look at our desc.txt files you'll see our screen dims and framerate are way different
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
after some testing with the improved images by [MENTION=3130300]Jank4AU[/MENTION] I have got the boot animation working at 45fps which is highest speed accepted with my rom(should be hardware limitation) it goes up to venom now which is a lot more then before since for me it stopped before reaching red skull, links below:

for pretty much everyone-right this way please

for sprint users-follow me sir

sorry took a while because my upload speed is horrible

hey [MENTION=4801393]goast[/MENTION] I urge you to do the following:

download zip and extract then copy all your boots/shutdown animations and zip it up then in system/media delete all animations except the bootanimation.zip/shutdownanimation.zip and flash the non sprint one and if it works no then you can use normal animations if not then flash the zip with your stock animations

I am on g3 ported rom so that will be different to stock
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Wonder if you could get it all to play if you got rid of the LG logo animation...unless you just like seeing it. [emoji6]
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goast:
Worked like a charm thank you
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
if I knew how to remove the stock lg logo that would be awesome but it is a part of rom and I have no clue where it's files are to at least change it to something else
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jank4AU:
Oh, I thought you guys were saying the bootanimation.zip file was that LG logo part...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
I wish that was it, but that is not the case when you first power it on and shows the lg logo that is built into the stock rom with no way of changing/removing it and then after that it is followed by the bootanimation.zip which on att is the white and blue little world, while on the g3 it is another lg logo on the Korean/international variants(that's right they thought one wasn't enough apparently)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbabich17:
Ok, so I've had root for a while now, had safestrap installed and Hyperdrive RLS15 and everything worked fine. Today I tried to flash a custom kernel and I got an error message in safestrap, not really sure what it said. I then hit reboot and all I got was a series of vibrations every 5 seconds or so. I can get into ODIN, with a message in the top left hand corner that says:

"PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545

CURRENT BINARY: OFFICIAL

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30

WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE

EMMC BURST MODE: ENABLE"

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've begun a download for the stock mk2 stuff, but not sure what help that will be if I can't get Odin to see my device.

Forgot to mention that Odin on the computer is not seeing my device, even after I reinstalled the drivers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well by now you've figured out that you can't have a custom kernel on a SafeStrap Verizon S4 lol

Your phone isn't hard bricked either if it can still get into download mode. It's soft bricked.

You'll most likely need to use the full wipe Mk2 file in Odin and if it's not seeing you're phone tureen then you need to re install the USB drivers or try using a different USB cable and you should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Many have found trying different USB ports or different computer entirely helps. .always use provided USB cable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbabich17:
Yeah I was reading on that, some places say you can others say no, decided to give it a shot, clearly the wrong decision xD And I'm kinda familiar with rooting and flashing roms, but this is my first brick, and since it never got to the logo I assumed that was what a hard brick was, good to know thats not the case. And I've tried a few different cables, the only S4 one I have was chewed by my psycho cat so I don't think its working too good. I'll try and dig up a few more, also would it matter what version of Odin I'm using? Running on 1.85 right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Um it shouldn't matter but it may be worth it to try Odin 3.09... That's the one I use and works just fine.

I hope ya get it back working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbabich17:
Well thanks for the help and the quick reply! I'm going to download 3.09 and try with a few cords I found. I guess if that doesn't work I know someone with an s4 who's cord I could use. I'll shout out if I get it working, and probably if I can't as well xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbabich17:
Alright I ended up getting Odin 3.07, worked right away, flashed all the stock files and I'm back at stock unrooted! Time to re-root and salvage my backups that I'm glad I made. Thanks again for all the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Glad you're up and running now

as well and nothing has changed the single ear output... Any assistance would be much appreciated! :(

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x53:
Today I have read this and now I know that a password protection within the lock screen makes no sense as long everybody can remove it within 5 minutes using TWRP (e.g. remove /data/system/password.key using file manager), no computer is required. For that reason I want to know if it's possible to disable TWRP temporay because I want to ensure nobody can launch TWRP with booting the phone and access private data. When I need TWRP for some reasons than I would enable it again e.g. using a root file manager (after I put in my look screen password).

I know there are some drawbacks within my concept (no 100% security e.g. using JTAG, system and data partition isn't encrypted, sbf when current installation fails, etc.). However I even want the same security like with stock roms where you can only do a factory reset without having the correct look screen password. I know there are ways arround too but they are even more difficult conducted especially with no computer in range.

So is there somewhere in the android/linux file system a sort of boot manager where I can (e.g. within an ini-file) disable the booting of TWRP when I press a predetermined (hardware or software) key?

Btw. currently I'm using this CM11-ROM.

Is there any way i can upgrade to jellybean using its Firmware FTF file by flashtool . i try to upgrade throught jellybean ROM two times but both times my cell got softbrick . i wanted a working verison of jellybean . Does i have to upgrade Kerner to ??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gamer649:
There is no firmware for the Miro to upgrade to jelly bean. The only way to do it is to unlock your bootloader, flash a jelly bean kernel (from the custom ROM you want to use) and then flash the custom ROM.

Hey guys!

Is it worth buying the sw2 now? I heard that it had some issues at release with the button on the side and the stability of the firmware. Did it improve in newer firmwares? Is it worth using it with the xzu for quick replying on whatsapp ? Is a sw3 planned? I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys ! I am not sure if I should buy one but actually I really would like to. Just want to be 100% sure if its worth.

I'm planning to buy this smartwatch too and chose this one over android wear because it's just so awkward to talk to your watch lol but the question is where do I buy it... Bestbuy suddenly says this item can no longer be shipped to stores on every single store and I can't really find any other stores that sell it :/
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
I think i am going to buy it on amazon or eBay. Depends on the price.
[Sony Smartwatch] BobDunn:
I have 2 of these Sony's and as much as they have niggles (hardware and software) they only cost £70 each. I couldn't resist the Android Wear so purchased the LG G Watch for more than the price of both Sonys. The LG is going back to Google.

Pro's and Con's of all these devices so only you can decide what's right for you.

But until the beautiful Moto 360 is out, the Sony will be my choice of wrist gadget.
[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
Yes, specially i think most shops around the world they dropped the price of Sony Smartwatch 2, It may not be the coolest and latest watch to date but it got a lot of available apps, better battery life than any smartwatch out there(except Pebble), Design is one among the best,

All of Android Wear LG G Watch and Gear Live(and maybe Moto 360) they don't last more than 1 day, and both of them require lots of swiping to do something.
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
I think I am going to Buy it next week. Very excited! :)
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
I got mine already and it is amazing!! The funny thing is that I went to a random bestbuy store in a random mall and I asked a random person and she was like: oh a Sony smartwatch? We have those right over there! Then I went there and was shocked when I saw that there was only 1 left and it was in the right color and had a metal band xD still can't believe it lol!
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
How is the metal band? Does it fit well?!
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
It's a little bit too big for me but you can remove some of the links to make it smaller and I barely feel that its there
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
I saw that the one with silicon band costs about 100 euro here. But the one with metal band costs about 170-180 euro. That's such a big difference.
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
Yeah I got the metal one for 199 and I see that the silicon one is available for 154 (and that is in Belgium)
[Sony Smartwatch] jadran1:
i buyed my in Austria on Ebay,it is the cheapest buy for metal one 158€ and post cost is free !!! (i didnt get it till now but it is on the way)

[Sony Smartwatch] cetinceki:
Please don't buy this watch i've Sony SW2 and also Samsung Galaxy Gear. Absolutely i can say real SMART watch is Galaxy Gear, SW2's only name called SMART actually its totally dumb, if buy SW2 you got only some changeable wallpaper and watch face. But If buy Gear (not Gear 2) you will got real smart watch, you can develop android apps and you can run apps without phone. SW2, except some very limited things nothing can do without smart phone, because all apps installing and running on the phone. But with Galaxy Gear, you can transfer APK files directly to watch and you can run this APPs on the watch without phone. With Gear you can develope android apps and install them on Gear directly.
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
If you were SMART enough you would've read the bottom line of his post and you would know that he has a xperia z and not a Samsung device so a galaxy gear ain't gonna work

AND pretty much all galaxy gears get sold with the tizen OS on it and that can't do the things you mention and of course you can spend your time on downgrading the watch to android but again something like a watch should work out of the box
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
Bought it today at my local store in silver metal. Awesome :D
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
Nice and if the watch band is a bit too big for your arm it should adjust itself a little bit because it's still a little stiff if you just bought it ( at least for me it did)
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
I was in a Jewelry and they made it for 3euro. Now it fits perfect ;)
[Sony Smartwatch] cetinceki:
If you smart enough too you can google and you will se gear still using android. Not gear 2
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
I read loads of articles and they all say that gear 1 can be upgraded to tizen
[Sony Smartwatch] mhyke13ph:
I'll choose battery life rather than other colored smartwatch available out there
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
Whatever. I am pretty happy with the smartwatch 2. Pretty cool design and with the widget hack it's awesome
[Sony Smartwatch] corrado85:
its a definitely good watch and i admire how sony keeps releasing new features and improvement.

but after moto360 is released, its going to make this thing look like windows 3.1

otherwise, this watch definitely has substance along with style. i cant see myself not having a smartwatch on for everyday purposes, getting notifications when I need it without pulling out my phone. unless i am going on long trips and cant rely on 3-4day battery life
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
Thanks I already bought it :D
[Sony Smartwatch] noahvt:
Unless the moto360 has the same type of LCD as the lg g watch or the gear live cause then it would suck real bad! You can't see a damn thing on those watches when you're outside
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
broke my watch today :(

dropped it on the floor, now part of the LCD is screwed up, doesn't look repairable and since i fixed the loose screen myself, no warranty

really gotten used to this watch, contemplating buying another

but am also waiting for the moto 360, really sucks we have no idea of what it's price will be or when it will be released...
[Sony Smartwatch] lexman098:
It should be out in a couple months or sooner and it will cost 250. Check out some reviews on YouTube. It's huge and gaudy and only does notifications and Google now. I'd stick with the sw2, but one thing I will say about the 360 is it has a nice thin bezel.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
'couple of months or sooner' could be in a week or a couple of months :)

then again, i'm in the netherlands so it might not be released here for quite some time longer, we can't even get the Gear Live yet

the Moto 360 does look like a regular watch though, which i like

and i will want to see it in person first, my wrists aren't that big either

i'm using my SW2 almost exclusively for notifications, no running or whatever...
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
Don't forget the real purpose of the watch too. Checking the time and date and yea even weather without taking your phone out of the pocket (in my case the Sony Xperia Z Ultra). The notifications stuff is pretty much bonus stuff. Still cheaper than some other watches. I like this watch a lot. I love it how good you can see on it without having to turn it on even if the sun is shinning like hell. Oh and let's not forget, Dat design :)
[Sony Smartwatch] lexman098:
What I'm saying is that it does not look like a regular watch. It's humongous.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
i couldn't wait, ordered the silver one

[Sony Smartwatch] lourenspfister99:
One area where the SW2 shines is the widgets on the watch face. Compare that to all other watches and it rules. The metal band looks good and I feel lost without it. I know you already bought it. Get xposed and run the widget overlay module. Read up on Tasker and integrate that into your daily life then you truly live on the precipice of technology. Just my five cents.
[Sony Smartwatch] tr0teK:
I already use the modified sw2 and smart connect app for overlapping widgets on the watch. It's awesome how I can get every information I want and need on my watch now :)
[Sony Smartwatch] lourenspfister99:
I agree, I forgot my watch at a friend's house and felt completely lost, just because my phone is always on silent and I only take it out when I need to.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
that might change when the watch face api for android wear is released....

i'm surprised actually there's only been 2 wear watches released so far
[Sony Smartwatch] lourenspfister99:
Asus is planning another one too. I do feel that I have to state that Android Wear's main selling point is it's integration with Google Now, and as I live in a country where most Google services are throttled or outright blocked, I don't see the point in a Wear product.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
but it does all the notifications, right?

that's the main reason i have my smartwatch anyway...
[Sony Smartwatch] lourenspfister99:
Yes it does, but a major difference between a Wear watch and the SW2 is the integration with Google Now. You can get your Now cards with a 3rd party app(as mentioned somewhere above). The only time I truly experience Google Now(notification cards) is when I go back home. So I never really got used to them. I do however agree with you. The reason I have my Smartwatch is for the notifications. I am truly dependant on my watch.
[Sony Smartwatch] shadeygeezer:
Hi guys,

Really nooby question..

Can you get full use out of these without having a Sony phone?

I saw on the website the email etc 'requires' a Sony xperia phone to work? Or can you just install an app on the phone to get a similar thing?

I dont use my Gmail, so would be something to send notifications for the standard 'email' app :)

Would I lose out on anything else?

Thinking of getting it for use on a Moto G

Thanks for help and advice - and app suggestions to make the most of the watch!
