Hey Thundervore,

There's two ways that I like to update the bootanimation.zip. There's probably more but here's the easiest for me.

Method #1:

- During recovery, you can use the command below to rename the existing file and then push the new file.

- adb shell mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.bak

- Then just adb push the new bootanimation.zip.

Method #2:

- Inject the new bootanimation into the ROM (.zip file) of you choice. (I've found that using a minimum or no compression in Winzip works best.)

- Via Clockwork, install ROM from SD Card.

- Make sure NOT to wipe data if you want to keep your data intact.

Hope this helps. There are also a few posts for the exact syntax for Method #1 online if you are having read/write issues etc.

Something to think about -- your download speed will only be as fast as the device can handle processing it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bowtieguy:
I am thinking of swapping my Aria for the Captivate.

I have rooted, unRevoked, and Liberated it.

How do I wipe this thing and make like it is new in box if I do decide to exchange it?

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] darkstarinc:
I've heard if you re-flash it with the stock ATT Aria ROM, it will fix all of it.

[HTC Aria Android Development] domin8:
question of the day is....to root my aria after work, or get the captivate this sunday :/

so it looks like i just plug the phone in and run the pkg in OSX? seems simple enough. I love this little phone so far, the battery is meh at best but i usually top all my phones off after work anyway before i go out for the night so it isnt too bothersome. i think i'm goign to root it, i dont need the larger screen or anything for just texting and occasional maps usage
[HTC Aria Android Development] bowtieguy:
the answer of the day is "have you used either yet, and it depends on the size of your hands"

I really enjoyed the Aria but it is hard for me to use the keyboard on it, and for the price difference I would rather get the larger one.
[HTC Aria Android Development] domin8:
while i dont want to clutter this thread as its my first few posts and it IS off topic, i will say that i dont mind the size because i use slideIT with one hand for texting 99% of the time. it also fits PERFECTLY in the little key pocket on the waistband of 90% of basketball shorts so its a great gym companion out of the box.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
Would it work to just copy over the replacement zip file via some root explorer like Android Mate?

Would the G1 bootlanimation.zip files work?
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
I haven't used Android Mate but if it can copy files into the system folder (i.e. get around permissions), then that would do just fine. The Bootanimation.zip is all inclusive so replacing the old one with the new one on the Aria would work just fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Thundervore:
Tried method 1 but get no such file or directory.

Tried second method and just get a black screen and no boot animation.

:confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
Hey Thundervore,

I'm sorry to hear that you're still not getting it to work. For Method #2, what compression program are you using (i.e. Winzip or Winrar, etc.)? I used Winzip to extract the files, copied the new bootanimation.zip over the existing one in the system/media folder, and then recompiled the zip with no compression. Then I proceeded with Clockwork to flash from SD. Liberated B005 with the updated Bootanimation.zip is about 180MB (uncompressed in this manner). If you are seeing a black screen and no boot animation, it could be that the bootanimation.zip has been compressed or corrupted. The file should be 990,132 bytes (~990kB) when viewing through an Android file manager (such as Astro).
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
So I am very interested in rooting this to my phone. However, I don't understand what Bash is and how important it is to the phone.

Can someone explain to us supernoobs what is missing from this rom? I just want an Aria rom without ATT crapware and the ability to load apps from my computer (which I understand isn't available automatically in this app just yet). Thanks for the help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] joker96:
hi

i am new in the android comunity after being a symbian user for years, and iphone for the last 5 months enough to be tired of it. i would like to know if theres a tutorial on doing stuff to my new aria wich i love and plan to upgrade to captivate asap. i want to flash it with the liberated rom, am not even rooted so any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
If you are going to go to the captivate why bother modding the aria? Aren't you going to return it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] joker96:
nope i like it size wise i like phones lol i got many
[HTC Aria Android Development] sluzi26:
Hey all, quick question.

Tried adding in the b5 after using Clockwork to achieve root, which I believe was successful.

Clockwork is in and when I tried to run the b5 update I got the following error:

Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport

Failure at line 9:

symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/bugreport

Installation aborted.

So, I hit it again and now It's hanging at formatting SYSTEM. At least I believe it is hanging.

How long should it be at formatting? How do I kill the process short of yanking the battery if it is failed?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
Joker96 go to the webchat like from any of attn1 signatures.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hashbrown:
Used unrevoked^3 tool and rooted/recovery in 2 min flat! Flashed b005 w/o first saving Nandroid (yikes).

1) Can I use a different card to store a nandroid backup? One w/o the Aria_liberated.zip?

2) Also, I noticed that even though the AT&T bootscreens were not present at boot, the HTC "quietly brilliant" booted reallllly slow! Is that normal?

Special Thanks Unrevoked and Attn1 and all others that made this possible!!!

Edit:

When i nandroid backed up to diff sdcard this message came up:

"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage. Backing up cache... No sd–ext found. Skipping backup if sd-ext. Generating md5 sum... Backup complete!”

Attn1,

This is a trivial issue, but when I have more than one email in my gmail account and i click on the notification, instead of opening up my inbox, it opens up the most recent email received. Its just slightly annoying. Any ideas for a fix? Running beta 5
[HTC Aria Android Development] Thundervore:
Thanks, recompressing the file with no compression worked :D. New boot animation installed and loving it

ADB issue: No permissions

Hi,

I am new to Android and just recently completed a root on my Aria and loaded the liberated_B005 rom successfully (I think).

My issue is that I am trying to ADB to my device but am getting "no permissions on device" error anytime I run anything on it. I am on linux. I have confirmed I have the superuser app and I have usb debugging on.

Below is a sample of what happens when I try. Please help.

$ sudo ./adb shell

error: insufficient permissions for device

$ sudo ./adb devices

List of devices attached

????????????	no permissions

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lieberman54:
This worked for me:

sudo ./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb start-server

then proceed to:

sudo ./adb devices

and

sudo ./adb shell

as you wish.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dfroot87:
Holy crap. You're a genius. Works great now. Thanks so much!
[HTC Aria Android Development] arsinic:
help! i think i bricked my phone... i tried to install the update from the sd card, it tried but says:

E: Can't chown/mod /ssytem/xbin/busybox

(No such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 76:

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/busybox

Installation aborted

now whenever i try to do a nandroid restore it says:

Checking MD5 sums...

MD5 mismatch!

at this point, everytime i try to do a reboot, it goes right back to clockworkmod recovery mode. what can i do to to have the rom installed or have it recovery back to it's normal rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Joesalad21:
Did you put a space in the name of your backup? If so remove it and the md5 mismatch is gone!
[HTC Aria Android Development] arsinic:
no... i didn't put a space in the name... i can't seem to get anywhere other than the clockwork recovery screen...
[HTC Aria Android Development] arsinic:
phew... nvm, i re-downloaded the b005 rom and it installed properly... thanks for trying to clear things up, joesalad. ;D
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Unplug the usb cable and see what happens. If you can get into clockwork, the phone is not bricked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
Hey Thundervore,

I'm glad it worked. Enjoy.

will OTA updates run on B002/B003 liberated Aria ?

as the subject line says, if ATT sends OTA, will it apply or are the signature checks disabled to it will *only* download but not make any changes to device?
[HTC Aria Android Development] sd73ta:
Instead of starting a bunch of new threads about that rom why not ask in that thread.... just sayin
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
question is not specifically.....äbout thät rom... but any rooted device

if you know the answer, why not tell ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] FFXTDS:
i would like to know to
[HTC Aria Android Development] sd73ta:
"will OTA updates run on B002/B003 liberated Aria"

Is what you asked thats the name of a specific rom. Rooted devices with a stock rom will recieve ota updates but custom roms are rom specific. take cyanogen his roms still get them as far as I can tell by searching and reading
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Ok, I am rooted and can get to clockwork. I also have a program installed called Rom Manager. I can see the Liberated b003 rom that I downloaded on the phone..I have created backup of my current rooted rom. I can see the backup in clockwork as well as Rom Manager. As I can b003. Am I supposed to a data wipe before installing b003? Is Rom Manager ok to use..it seems a little easier to navigate as opposed to clockwork..Can I just install b003 thru rom manager without a data wipe...

how would you reccomend installing b003?
[HTC Aria Android Development] djmaddogfreal:
Quick question, where can I go to check for updates?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
The first page of this thread will be updated when new versions come out with a change log on what has been changed/fixed.

Regards,

[HTC Aria Android Development] ratman69:
Now that I've rooted and "liberated" my aria, I was hoping to see some extra space after the ATT apps were removed. I also removed a few others that I would never use, but I have not seen an increase in the free space under Settings . . . SD & Phone Storage . . . Available Space.

Do the apps under /system not count toward that free space?

Thanks!

Alex
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Not that I know of. It's normal annoying behavior.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sentinel79:
I think it would be nice if there was a way for it to open immediately into "view labels" mode ... so you can see at a glance if you have messages in inbox or whatever folder you have things auto-populating in (via filters in google).
[HTC Aria Android Development] toxickiss27:
Okay I'm using b003 and I was wonder if it's just me, but my phone no longer vibrates when I get a text. I was just wondering if I was the only one having this problem because when I set my phone to nothing but vibrate it stays silent when I get a text message.

EDIT: Nevermind I used Sound Manager to fix my problem, dummy me. :rolleyes:
[HTC Aria Android Development] djmaddogfreal:
I could have sworn that android 1.5 would open the inbox view when there was more than one item in gmail and you clicked the notification. Is it something to do with android 2.1 or is it the custom rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Hmmm.. My gmail works fine. When I hit the icon, it opens and shows everything, the last 25+ emails. The ones I havent read yet are not shaded like the ones I have read. I can choose what ever mail I want.. not sure what your problem is

Can't flash ATTN1's rom, what am I doing wrong???

I'm rooted but I'm having problems flashing attn1's b003 rom. I select install zip from sd and it goes to maybe three steps then takes me back to the main screen. And when i reboot, I get the AT&T/3G boot logo. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Merging this post with the appropriate ROM thread. As the announcement clearly states at the top of all Aria forums, you are required to post questions in existing threads, if one is available.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Thanks man!! I just switched over to the Aria after owning the iphone 2g for years, couldn't be any happier.
[HTC Aria Android Development] beazie0885:
Anyone having any issues buying apps from the market after root? Just wondering. I'm having a authorization issue. And its not installing. Hope I'm in the right place to ask this. I Can dl free ones just fine. Any imput would help. Thx
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
shad0wf0x just spent like 3 hours helping me root my aria. I suggest using the webchat for anyone needing help or not wanting to dive into this by their lonesome.

He took me through it step by step and looked beyond my noobness. I am not rooted, liberated, and very happy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
Space??

I am in the same boat. Before I rooted and installed b003 i had 115mb of free space. Now that I have installed the b003 rom I have 104mb of free space. I thought that removing the at&t apps and installing the rom that is 10mb smaller than stock rom would have freed up space. Any thoughts? I did not perform a wipe before installing as the post said you wouldn't have to coming from stock.

2nd question. If you wipe all your data or do a reset back to stock rom (not rooted), do you keep your phone data? I mean the data that sets your phone up to receive calls, text and data. Is this stored on the SIM card?

3rd question. If one would do a reset back to stock rom (not rooted) and then root their phone with the revoke method. If you would then download Titanium Backup and install busybox from there. Would you be able to remove AT&T apps with Titanium backup this way? I read on a previous thread that this may not actually remove the programs.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cnflemon:
Any help?

:confused: Still need help... someone... anyone!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Are you picking the correct option? Make sure you're not hitting Apply sdcard:update.zip.

You have to pick Install zip from sdcard, and then Choose zip from sdcard, then select liberated_aria_b003.zip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cnflemon:
@hi2u2 That's what I'm doing and it runs through maybe three commands (2 secs) and it just redirects me back to the main clockwork screen
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
Make sure that you copied the rom straight on the sdcard without putting it into any folders of any kind. Just copy onto the sdcard. I read where someone else had a problem and this solved theirs.

Any responses to my above questions? It would be much appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Yes, the data should still be intact.

The other two questions I'm not sure about.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
Any one else have any answers to my above questions? Especially the space issue? Maybe attn1? Or did everyone leave to the captivate thread :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] hocplyr98:
Ok, so I downloaded b005, since I was on b003 and flashed it. Before that I used Titanium Backup and backed up all my apps, data, and info. Ok, so I followed attn1's instructions on flashing ROMs (backed up current, wiped, then flashed). When I went back into Titanium on the new, blank ROM. The same stupid error that pops up when I go to install 3rd party apps comes out, and nothing is restored. Any way around this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dowtort:
On the space issue... user apps are stored in /data/app. system (and at&t) apps are stored in /system/app.

/data and /system are different partitions. different buckets. taking apps out of one creates space there.. does not affect the other.

hmm.. could we install apps to system? or install normal and then just move apk file from /data/app to /system/app?

too bad you can't do soft links.. need more linux like linux on there. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
So is there something that I missed when installing the b003 Rom as far as the space issue goes? Should i have wiped before installing the rom or would this not have helped either?
[HTC Aria Android Development] vesperwillow:
Liberated B005 Issue? : Slow interface overnight & Gmail 'Mark as read' disappeared

Hey all, new poster, but been trolling for quite awhile now.

I rooted lastnight thanks to the helpful guides, it went without a hitch. I put B005 on there. Amazing how much of a difference a clean rom makes! The interaction seemed faster in Sense, and everything simply ran faster. Also the battery life already seems doubled.

Here's a couple of things I'm noticing this morning. I rooted the phone yesterday around 5pm, all seemed well. I used the phone a little here and there for light browsing and texting. Around midnight plugged it in to be charged. Woke up around 6am and tried using the phone. She was close to being locked up.

By that I mean, very, very, very sluggish response, as if the chip was at 100% of its usage. I had to keep "sliding" the lock off, and it very slowly drew it--I could see the lines being drawn on the screen. Took me about 4 minutes of agonizing "slowness" to get the thing properly powered down. Rebooted the phone, all is well now.

I suspect a memory leak in something? I didn't have anything running except what comes up by default with B005. Only other thing would be gmail and facebook. Haven't had this issue till now.

The other thing

Also I just noticed, now that I went to B005, when I'm reading my mail, the option for 'Mark as read' has disappeared. The only option in its place now is 'Mark as unread' whether or not anything is highlighted or checkmarked, and whether or not the message is read or unread.

I get tons of email every hour, so that kinda blows.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vesperwillow:
Update: I re-did the mail widget and it's working again. Weird glitch.

Still curious about the overnight issue with it nearly locking up :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dowtort:
Personally I don't see a space issue.. You weren't going to gain any space due to removed apps, since they were removed from different, read only, filesystem.

you probably want to clear your dalvik cache. see toward the bottom.

Yes, you lost 11meg.. but /data doesn't just hold app binaries.. open adb shell and wonder around...

if you're not familiar with unix, you just need 3 commands: cd, ls, du

cd /data (change to data directory, and later into any other directory you want to explore. cd .. goes back a directory)

ls -l (long view of direcotory contents. if 1st character in the line is "d", it's a directory, not a file... so you can cd there to dig deeper.

du somefile-or-directory - tells you how much disk (size) somefile is using..

so to check out how much your apps use (binaries alone):

cd /data

du app

ls -l app

du app will give you total of all files in app. ls -l app will give you size of every file in app.

one more command: pwd (present working directory).. tells you where you are. :)

oh, and "exit" to exit.. yeah, i know.. it's not something obvious like "start"...

after exploring /data, it looks like after app, directories that hold most data are dalvink-cache (48meg) and data (yes, /data/data, 28 meg). I don't think you want to mess with data, but cache seems extreme.. especially since i see files there for apps that were removed (att software)..

i just cleared my dalvik cache (boot to recovery/clockwork. in clockwork, advanced, clear dalvik cache, wait, back, reboot. wait 2-3 minutes for phone to boot. after going through this, my free space went from 25meg to 33 meg. du shows /data/dalvik-cache went down to 40meg..

based on what i just read about that cache dir, it's probably a good idea to clear if after you removed a bunch of apps... probably wont' do much if you didnt delete anything...

note that i'm a total andoid noob, so you might not want to take any of my suggestions.. but i'm pretty comfortable with unix and know how to google/search. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
I'm not sure what it could be. I've been using b005 for quite a while and have had no such issues. I leave my phone on overnight regularly. I've been going back and forth between nandroid backups of b005 and intruder for a while with no issues similar to that in either Rom. Perhaps something with Facebook? A lot of the time Facebook apps have trouble syncing automatically. Perhaps try closing Facebook overnight and see what that does?

[HTC Aria Android Development] drwatson1234:
If I may, can you give a quick description of how you flash between either ROM? I'm running b005, with all my apps & now with wi-fi tether. But, I really want to try Froyo for a day and come back to what I have. Do I just:

1. Boot into FastBoot

2. Nandroid Backup

3. Wipe cache/etc.

4. Install Froyo.zip from SD

5. Wipe cache/etc.

6. Install Nandroid.zip from SD (of my current b005 ROM)

Thanks! I want to make sure I don't lose my current settings prior to flashing Froyo. I'm new to all of this and really love the ability to test everything out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Chr0nicDreamz:
I myself have been running b005 since it was put out. Thnx

Attn1 and I have had no such issues either.

My phone is on 24/7 except for when update/backedup/ rebooted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Have also been on b005 for almost a week now...NO PROBLEMS. And I never wiped cache or data..
[HTC Aria Android Development] vesperwillow:
Yeah I'm guessing it was a quirk. Tonight I'm going to make sure all apps are killed and nothing is running. If it acts up again I'll let you know. If not, I'll run some apps the next night to see what makes it hang (if it hangs at all).

Great support guys, and thanks to all who made this possible! The phone is faster, and the battery lasts about 50% longer now, almost keeps up with my blackberry. Awesome!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
Yeah, just make a nandroid backup, take note of the backup name, wipe everything and install the froyo Rom. Make another backup of that after you have it set the way you want it. Rinse and repeat.
[HTC Aria Android Development] beazie0885:
Can anyone tell me what will happen if I do a factory data reset on the liberated aria b003 rom? Will it revert back to stock or delete all of my data and keep liberated rom? Thanks in advance for any input. Need answer asapy!
