[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortizdupri:
So, I'm attempting to create a custom bootscreen for my EVO, and was trying to find out if anyone knew how to get a copy of the initial "htc EVO" logo with white background that comes up? I've gone through the file system a few times, but haven't managed to find anything in there (and I've read from other phones that it's some strange hidden file that can be changed, but I'm not looking to change it, merely to a copy of it in a readable format to incorporate it into my own bootscreen animation). Is it hard coded into the phone itself somewhere magically? Any help would be great.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
I may be wrong but I believe it's built into the bootloader.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortizdupri:
Yeah, that makes sense. I managed to find instructions on how to change it here:

source.android.com/porting/customization.html

But that's not necessarily so helpful in getting my hands on the original image.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastcfh:
It's the splash in the Rom.zip I believe. Or like said above it part of the bootloader

Thread moved to general

Edit please move this to evo general. I accidently moved it here. Sorry
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortizdupri:
Yeah, I think it's splash1.nb0.

Now: google isn't helping me here, how does one unpack/open an nb0 file?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortizdupri:
AND ok solved this (after a good hour of searching). If anybody wants it (in BMP format, straight off the phone), it's here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That0neUser:
Were you able to change it? If so, could you point me to how? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmh033089:
2 years and that question is still not answered.

Still curious.
[Desire General] jacobtc:
Hi!

I'm gonna follow the tut on MoDaCo called "14/Jun r6 riskfreeroot - HTC Desire rooting guide - now with HBOOT 0.80 and OS to 1.21 support"

However, when I have done that, I end up with a generic rom.. right?

So how would I get a custom ROM on my phone? I'm really now on this area and I've only had my Desire for two weeks now, but root access is already itching :D Anyway, what would some must-be things to do, after root?

Regards

Jacob
[Desire General] emdzej:
The simplest way is to use ROM Manager from the Market and use option to flash ROM from SD card after you heve rooted your phone using Paul's method.
[Desire General] jacobtc:
Oh, I thought it was harder to flash a custom ROM, isn't it impossible to do it while the phone is booted? I thought that /system access wasn't possible when the phone was booted...
[Desire General] rolfd:
Basically, once you are rooted you can download rom manager from the market. Find yourself a rom that you like from the dev section and download it then put it on your SD card,

Go into rom manager and select the option to install a rom from SD card. Scroll to it and select it. The rom manager app will then boot your phone into recovery mode and install the rom for you. It's all very very easy now! I'd just suggest that you use the rom backup feature in it as some roms don't always work or you may forget to wipe before install etc. The backup is a nice fallback :D
[Desire General] jacobtc:
Made a root stock restore! :D anyway what else should I do with my phone now, when it's rooted? :D

EDIT: Also how do I make my MicroSD compatibly with Apps2SD? :D
[Desire General] rolfd:
You need to create an 'ext' partition on the card. Normally 512mb. You do this via rom manager or recovery.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You will also need to install the Apps2SD zip ONLY if the rom you have currently flashed comes without Apps2SD installed into the rom.

Right now I'm running the DeFroST 0.9 ROM :D Having alot of fun! I will try to partition my SD later :D
[Desire General] abc27:
You cannot run any EXT partitions on FroYo.
[Desire General] lisboapcs:
I want to root my desire with riskfreeroot but I have some doubts. Do I still need a pc to root or can I put the updatef.zip with the test image and load them with the bootloader?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You can run the RUU from your PC while the phone is connected and then flash your chosen ROM without connecting to the PC via USB (safer) using ROM Manager.

Basically, once you are rooted you can download ROM Manager from the Marketplace. Find yourself a custom ROM that you like from the Android Development section and download it, then put it on the root of your SD card.

Open up ROM Manager and select the option to install a ROM from SD card. Scroll to it and select it. The ROM Manager app will then boot your phone into recovery mode and install the rom for you.

I'd just suggest that you use the ROM backup feature in it also incase something goes wrong, e.g. ROMs don't always work or you may forget to wipe before install, or forget to partition your SD Card (if necessary) for example.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kristinstokes:
I have upgraded from the Touch Pro to the Touch Pro2. On the Touch Pro when I was composing a message using T9 and tried to enter a word my phone did not recognize, I could add the new word and continue on with my message. On the Touch Pro2 once I save the new word, I still have to re-type it into my message. So everytime I need to add a new word I have to type it twice in a row. Is there any way around this little annoyance? I am familiar with phone modifications like registry editing, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] idool:
Hello all,

I've a HTC Touch Pro for a long time and I learnd a lot of these forums. This time I have a big problem...

My HD broke so I had to install a new one and setup windows ect. ect. I installed Active sync 4.5 to synchronize my TP with my PC. I had to make a new 'relationship/profile' between my pc and my TP, because I was already syncing my TP with two pc's I had to delete one (there is a max of 2) I do not have 2 pc's and I never synced with any other pc than my own. Because I didn't recognize the names of both of the relationships/profiles (whom already exsited) I deleted both..

Very stupid, but it happend. Now I lost all of my contacts but one. The contact that I last added 'lived through' this whole thing for some reason.

Please help me, I have but one telephone number left... And I have no backups!

ps: sorry for my poor English.
[Desire General] nanux:
I have problem with my wifi connection (probably defected hw) and I just want to ask if there is any way to connect desire to notebook via USB and get connection from pc?

Thanks
[Desire General] darkpride:
Did you try installing the HTC Sync software?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which quite frankly is very annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.

Anyone knows how to get a Portuguese T9 for android, or even if it exists? I've been googling for it, but no luck until now.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I have been looking at some of the zips of the ROMS that are floating around on this site, and it seems like /system/app is where all the apps that are on the system partition are.

Is it just as easy as unzipping the zip file, putting the .apk file in the /system/app folder, rezipping and flashing using fake-flash?

Or would I need to re-sign the zip, and if so, is there a tutorial for doing this?

Could this cause any problems further down the line?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zyexx:
I got the above mentioned program on my phone. Its not in English and I have no Idea what it does. Neither can I remove it. Anyone else can say what it does?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rogeriok:
Where Did u find this program?I can't find it in marketplace

prefixo automatico is portuguese=automatic prefix
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zyexx:
After I de-branded and updated it...it was there..now I cant get rid of it
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRulas!:
That's because you used the Brazilian Generic Version.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bongd:
Bingo, it's not debranded. Hence the big CLARO startup screen and stock Brazilian apps. It's a faster FW but in my experience the battery has been very poor.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zyexx:
If that is the case where do get a unbranded X10a Firmware I can load? But btw I dont have a Claro logo...no logo at all
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRulas!:
You have the unbranded Brazilian Version, dont worry. Prefixo Automatico is an app included in the REGIONALAIZED version, not BRANDED.

This means SE included that as part of the firmware for the Brazilian consumers, and not by a Carrier specific settings/mods.

I understand you, its annoying to have an app you don't use and can't delete. But if you want to use the most up-to-date firmware that's the price you have to pay.

Cheers!
[HD2 General] edmi:
hey all

i have hd2 rom with rom Elegancia v 8.0 wwe , manila 2.5.2012412 , and radio 2.08.

i have installed on my sd card S2U2 to lock the screen and so , and i also installed ( like stupid ) pocket shield. i didnt take into account the fact they gonna work together ( :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: )

i removed the pocket shield, but in a way , its still there , and i dont know how !

by saying its still there - i cant lock the screen during call , the call menu is totally have changed , i cant call directly from my favorites but i have to go around and around .

do u have any solution for me ???

( i even removed the s2u2 and nothing ) .

tnks in advance !!!
[HD2 General] joker.mn:
try hardresetting your phone.

warning: you will lose all data! its like a factory reset.
[HD2 General] elburna:
I still cant understand why people install system-relevant or deeply integrated programs like s2u2 on sd-card....
[HD2 General] edmi:
mmmm

tnk u very much for answering !!!!

it means i'll have to install the new rom again, reinstall the softwares placed on the sd card and more ? ?

can u give me a less violent way :D..... ?

tnks in advance.
[HD2 General] edmi:
ill explain:

im quite new with the phone. probably logic isnt my strong side , too .

:p.

anyway, i'll take your mark , and i'll install it on the main memory .
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I wouldn't bother, I install everything to my SD card, I always have and I will continue to do so. It's never harmed my phone.
[HD2 General] elburna:
Then see what happens when connected to PC as Flash Drive and you lock the phone with S2U2 ;)
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i totally agree!

thumb rules:

1. any software/application that the system uses or that the system invokes autonomously should be installed to main memory. this includes items such as lock applications, alarm applications, even your ring tone!

2. any software/application that you start on your own (such as a music player or browser or game) can be installed to the memory card. as always, there are exceptions to this rule but there are no exceptions to rule number 1, i.e. everything always works fine from main memory while some things may not work fine from the memory card.
[HD2 General] edmi:
ok ok ok !!!!!

i dont wanna be a baby buuuuuuuuuuuuuut

lets come back to the real problem :D !!!!

how can i fix it ( without hard reset !! ) ??????????!??????

tnks !!!
[HD2 General] M3PH:
A little piece of advise here. Apps belong on the phone. Data belongs on the card. Don't mix them and never forget.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bj67:
Hello,

I've got a problem with the screen of my Qtek 9090 as it doesn't seem to be displaying colours properly and there are lines going across the screen and text at times.

Would someone have any idea of what the problem might be and if it's fixable?

Here are a couple of images of what I'm getting. Quality isn't great but I hope it shows the problem well enough.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
that looks like a hardware defect, you can use the htc service manual linked in my signature to disassemble the device and look for problems with the display's connectors, cables and possible pressure on the display/digitizer or anything related to the display. a good way to test that would be to take away any housing and start the device, that way you can carefully bend the cable in normal angles and see, when it happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldchillen:
anyone feel like theyre being throttled by tmo? im in the socal region and i dont even have 500mB used for unlimited data. i think i read somewhere they will hold your speed back if youve used over a gig or two, but 500megs?

btw, i usually get >2mb/s, but recently have been getting .5mb/s..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccunningham83:
No throttling in Dallas. I tethered my laptop to download a ~700 Mb file this past weekend (I don't usually do that, but I needed to). Still pulling anywhere from 2-4 Mb/s
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Possibly network upgrades happening.

(Give them a call and find out)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
Bandwidth can be throttled by the number of users, more users less bandwidth to go around.

hopefully there are network updates/upgrades being done. this has been the case since friday.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakraider:
yeah, it's not throttling. they would push you below 500 kb/s if that were the case.

in my city, 500 kb/s is the most we get on T-Mo's 3G.. oh well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djunio:
I use around 5 gbs a month, no throttling here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Wouldn't they just shut off your 3g and force you to use edge speeds?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobbie13:
Same issue here - Chicago area. Dropped calls, no service, Emergency calls only and lousy 3G coverage. On G1 and N1. Hoping it's an upgrade....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I seriously doubt t-mobile is throttle speeds. On ATT in la I pull down 2.5 mbps though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldchillen:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
i doubt it... tmobile has half of the subscribers that ATT does and has just as good of a network... they have no reason to throttle people...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
i would say they are better, they know they have android power users and treat us as such, not like childish data wasters like AT&T has done. They also have been recently updating their network that surpasses AT&T soon enough.

^agreed, their network upgrades makes my n1 worthwhile, also I've been with them for about 6.5 years because they're the cheapest and they've got pretty good customer service

With Touch Tools i got it to work, to only stop screen rotation for single apps.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
Anyone live in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas? Since I switched to Sprint this month my 3G hasn't been faster than 600kpbs (on an extremely lucky day). It is more common to be between 100-300 kbps and I think that is a ripoff with an Everything Data Plan.

Anyone share my experience or have better numbers to provide?
[EVO 4G General] dukins:
Wish I knew out to check it, but dont know how. Im an android newbie. I can say this, every since switching to Sprint from both Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, I have actually received better 3g signals and coverage at the workplace. If you show me how to check I will check.
[EVO 4G General] rkn2903:
I am receiving better 3g than before.
[EVO 4G General] Rhys'Droid:

[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
That is normal in alot of area's, I know I get between 600-1.7 down and always around 700 up.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I would kill for those speeds? Where are you at Dukins if you don't mind me asking? I live in Carmel and work over by the Pyramids so I'm mostly always on the North side.

I am lucky to ever be able to get 600kbps, I'm more likely to have 300kbps down or even 130ish. I have no clue why my 3g is so slow.

Edit: I just ran a test and got 95kbps downstream and 734kbps upstream.......
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:

I work on the southside of Indy by Lilly's and live on Westside of Indy Pike Township area.

Yep SID is 4135. What is this information used for?
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
SID is the ID of the tower you are connecting to.
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
I work in Indy and have been trying to figure out what is going too. I was wondering if it was my custom ROM or because I updated my radio? Or if it was just the EVO itself.

The speed I'm getting is killing me right now! I know my speeds aren't as slow outside of Indy where I live.

Kind of annoyed that I'm paying extra and my download speeds are slower on my EVO than they were on my Hero. :mad:

Was wishing to have 4G....but hell I'd be happy with a decent 3G at this point!!!
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
I get crap speeds anywhere in Carmel/Westfield; bad Sprint towers in northern Indianapolis.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I talked to a Sprint Tech Support Rep who gave my phone a "network refresh". Sounded like bullsh*t, but afterwards I've been getting great speeds where I have a good signal. I've been getting up to 1.4mbps in downtown Carmel and in Broadripple.

Also she said we are getting 2 new towers on the north side of Indy, one off Hazel Dell Pkwy in August, and another in Westfield in December.
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
Well, I was a couple of miles from downtown this morning sitting at standstill in pouring rain and traffic. Did a speedtest and got around 1.5 MBPS down! I was happy with that.

However, when I was back at work...it was under 400k. Guess maybe it could be my office building? :(
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I get similar speeds around my office (and nearby restaurants). I work up by the pyramids on the NW side of Indy.
[EVO 4G General] Estimated Prophet:
I'm getting 1.4mbps down and 321kbps up on the north west side right now. I tested last night around the kessler/meridian area and got ~600kbps both ways.
[EVO 4G General] bigdogdan2:
What did you do for a network refresh?
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
It was all on the tech's end. I was complaining and she was like "let me try a network refresh for your phone". It sounded like typical csr bs, but immediately afterwards my speeds got dramatically better and have stayed that way for the most part.
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
The question is have the speed improvements "stuck".
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I did say "and have stayed that way for the most part" meaning that in areas with good signal I still manage to get good speeds. I get around the same speeds at my work, but when I'm out and about it's not uncommon to get over 1 - 1.5 mbps.
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
Sorry, I meant to say...let us know if it sticks after several days of use. Thanks. :D
[EVO 4G General] Estimated Prophet:
I'm guessing she pushed a new PRL or PRI to your phone.
[EVO 4G General] 11sec_lx:
From my work desk in noblesville, i just got 35kbps.
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
Yeah, I got 58kbps yesterday...but yet if I load something on my browser it seems faster?

Thought maybe it was my speedtest app? However, I just went to mobilespeedtest.com and twice got speeds under 100k. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] 11sec_lx:
I ran some tests and noticed that i seem to get higher speeds on the 2nd test. I tested four browsers and opera mini got speedsas high as 5633kbps on a 500kb test. It is far and away, much much faster on my phone and a co-workers blackberry on evdo. I just wish it had pinch zooming or a means for us to zoom.

Has anyone else heard that wimax is coming to indy, 4th quarter 2010? Sprint Sero told me that a few weeks before i got my evo.

Thanks...
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
God I hope so! Just to have a tentative date for 4G is better than nothing at all!
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I know for sure it wasn't a PRL update, and I don't think it was a PRI update. I talked to Ecare (chat support) and they did some kind of reset that popped up a little dialog box on my screen and I had to reboot.

With whatever she did, there was no dialog box and no reboot required...it just worked.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blisk:
I'm going to try after my test in school and give this a shot as I'm unrooted and on 2.1. However not being familiar with the nexus root method does anyone think that the incredible root method just simply unlock the bootloader anyway? Has anyone tried the incredible root method on their phones yet?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orangeandblue302:
I dont think the root method will have any bearing on the N1 due to the Incredible being CDMA and the Nexus being GSM.

Im not totally positive, but if I remember back When us CDMA Hero users were trying to achieve root the GSM way was unable to get us there.

If im wrong let me know, dont wanna spread around false info.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blisk:
Oh I didn't know about that. I guess we won't know until someone tries. I want to root anyway and if it does work and unlocks my bootloader.. oh well I tried. It's a busy week so i didn't want to waste my time, but I wanted to try before the official 2.2 update comes out just in case it doesn't work for 2.2.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TFJ4:
This is actually a really good idea, think this could work. Don't see how CDMA/GSM factors in here....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Rooting =/= unlocking the bootloader.

Rooting == getting root privileges in OS.

If achievable, it will get you root permissions in OS. It might not give you write access to system partitions, and might not allow you to flash custom images.

The difference between GSM and CDMA is that they're sporting different Snapdragons, thus running different baseband builds, a bug in one doesn't say anything about the other.

Anyway, please update, how did it go - interesting :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFan319:
Tried this for 3 hours yesterday w/ a dev from XDA. He's still working towards it, but its a timing issue. It has to be within a half second timespan with no way of telling when that is. I ended up just breaking my bootloader after I realized I'd rather have root then have us keep trying all day...
