An idea (always dangerous)

So, this is a clear way of explaining things, and even though I did get to this same point via the LONG route, here is what I would LOVE TO SEE:

There are a

lot of great 640x800 graphics floating around, some truly beautiful.

It kind of bugs me that the only access we have to replacement of the initial splash screen and really, just about everyone (everyone that's SANE, I should qualify) wants to kill that Pink "Stick This" T-Mobile screen! I mean, when I 1st got the phone, I used to hide it while this screen was in, LOL!

What I am wondering is this:

1. How difficult is it to embed/tweak/modify a graphic and then package it with RUU to create these? If its complex, a tutorial or write up would be really great.

2. Are there limits on the graphic, as in file size, DPI etc? Like a lot of techies, I am pretty handy modifying and converting graphic files. All I need at this point is the process, since there seem to be

extremely limited choices in this area

None of this is intended to dis the graphic presented in this thread. In fact, it is really nice. But it's

someone else's

you know? I want something unique, if I can make it my own, I would be happy.

Anyone care to explain whats needed to make that happen? Thanks to any and all that contribute to this.

Thanks to all for the instructions, I have made my splash screen and did everything to the T, atleast I believe I did. Anyway I've made a splash screen and converted in to a 24 bit, bmp file. I've used the nbimg-1.1 win32.exe to make the .bmp.nbh file which I used to flash on to my hd2. I went to the process of flashing but when the hd2 restarted the same pink stick together was still there. I don't know what I did wrong. The only thing I can see is that I did not used HSPL3, I have HSPL2 on my phone already and thought that would be ok. Does anyone know if using HSPL3 is mandatory for this, like I said I have HSPL2 on my phone already. Also if I flash with the HSPL3 wouldn't that completly erase my phone again, kinda like a hard reset?

Thanks

when you enter bootloader, it should say 'x.xx.hspl' next to spl, so long as it does, then its flashable. doesnt matter which.

Here's what I now have as my start up splash, I got tired of the full on white pink but rather enjoy the Stick Together slogan.

Maybe someone else will like it haha =P

Includes the bmp and nbh but you really only need the nbh.

Thanks Demaxmeister for the LeoDroid Ubuntu wallpaper and icon.

Another Big Thanks to the devs for making LeoNdroid possible. :)

i cant get mine to flash this nbh file, i used 2 cards so far, reformated to fat32, hold down vol down + pwr button, and i dont get the option to flash :( and im on hspl...

nm, i got it :) guess the file name has to be lower case nbh, not NBH, weird...

[HD2 General] DJTJ:
I cant get it to work, I tried like 10 time, I reformatted my cards, and made sure the name was right, tried Serial, and usb, but It gives me no flash option.

i flashed HSLP3

any body? [FALSE ALARM]

Edit: Had to try 4 different sd's...4ths the charm
[HD2 General] Gromhelm:
HardSPL3 is telling me, that it will delete everything on my phone. Is that true? Just for changing the boot screen, I have to install everything again? (ie. contacts, programs, files, settings..)
[HD2 General] fflakes:
Worked out great thanks! I was pretty sick of the pink logo.

fyi, when pressing down volumedown and powerbutton, leave your finger on the powerbutton only after awhile, I was holding down on both and the bootloader quit because it thought I was cancelling the flash

Here you guys go it does not get any easier then this.

The two zip files I have included bellow can be flashed to you HD2

just as you would a custom ROM (don't worry does nothing to your ROM

just changes the boot screens back to stock T-Mobile "Stick Together")

As stayed in the title these are the 1st and 2nd T-Mobile USA Boot Screen - I will be adding the 3rd (animated) screen shortly

hi. i followed everstep but i couldnt have done it. it says:

5. Follow the instructions in bootloader (POWER to go on, or VolDown to abort).

but when i press VolumeDown and RedPowerButton 3 color screen comes and i dont see any instruction saying press power or voldown...

could you tell me where i make mistake...
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Have you done anything to the phone like apply a custom ROM or is the phone still all stock? Do you have HSPL loaded on the phone? If yes to the first two do you have the file with the proper name in the root of the sd card? Also did you try reformatting the card to FAT32 before trying this(it will erase the card so back it up) sometimes it works some times it doesn't. Some cards just don't work for flashing I usually have a 1 gig card I use for doing it. As much as the phone can see it while on or in sd mode it just doesn't see it in bootloader so try another card or follow the steps that I linked you to in your other thread. It uses the RUU style while plugged into the computer via active sync.

Also you can't do the SD card method if you are leaving it plugged in to a usb cord.

HD2 AmeriCan Droid splash screen StickToGetHer

:D

Here's what i'm sporting now, with a bonus for fans of the stock hot pink, I see this TmoUS thread is now merged into the main HD2 General thread, they'll work just the same in any HD2.

Reminder: you must have HSPL4. This is only the first static Splash screen. Flashing LEOIMG.nbh via microSD will not erase anything in your phone, but it is always wise to do a full system backup before any flash. If you need the 2nd splash screen, use the included images in the folder and follow samsamuel's instructions linked in first post. If you ever need to go back to stock, see post2 (link) . I'm still using the one on post15.

[Nexus One General] kooli9:
Hello all,

This is my 1st post so bare with me.

I bought a 2nd hand N1 that had a custom firmware on it and was rooted and managed to upgrade it to FRF50 and keep the root usomg a post i saw on here (cannot remember which one).

I would like to upgrade to FRF83 and keep my root but am a bit confused.

1. How comes i never get the OTA updates (H3G UK)

2.Will the stock firmware work on my phone or do i need a rooted version

3. I'm not 100% on the process other than sticking the zip file on the sd card (possibly renaming it) and flashing the zip from the menu you acces by hold the trackball when powering up.

Any help/advice/guides are greatly appreciated

regards

Is it possible to pull apps from a newer rom on the magic (say a customer 1.6/2.0 rom) to a older more stable from (1.5 in my case)?

I would like to replace the browser and gallery apps, as well as add the vpn service or add spare parts.

Some apps install via a file manager (using the apk files) and others just say this cannot be installed on this phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] siddharthsai:
i dont think thats possible!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] silvertag:
Technically yes.. but will it work? not really. Many of these new apps use new library files not compatible and not available on older rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] theskillster:
Thanks, Shame really.

I'm getting fantastic battery life, on a old 1.5 custom rom, but there are so many handy and much needed apps included in other roms which aren't on the marketplace and wont install on 1.5.

How do I install it

Secondly to flash a rom over fresh without wiping like "aloysius"

I know the basics how to enter recovery reboot Etc just not sure what I can do from my laptop with the phone mounted or what I can and cannot do directly from the phone. I'm coming from an iphone jailbroken am moderately tech savvy so it doesn't need to be totally dumbed down, just what mode my phone needs to be in, what order I do these installations in.

Thank you for any help you may offer

Can I ask you a question. I've been having problem for almost a week now, and it's driving me crazy. I'm using the latest DamageControl ROM, with Aloysius Theme. Deodexed. Theme works perfectly, but every time I've tried to include his Clear Taskbar or Black Taskbar, Connect to PC causes a fast quickboot. Either from pulling out my usb cable or choosing an option from Connect to PC, freezes then fast quickboot. I've tried numerous methods, with no answer. Do I need to try via ADB then?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
this is a software problem. i have seen many posts about it. there are also random reboots, not just when you plug into usb.normally its a rogue app or a mixture of apps along with current rom. Unless you did not wipe before flashing your newest rom, then that could be the culprit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
there is also an app called root explorer in the market, that will allow you to edit the os from the phone itself(one of the most useful apps out there). I think thats what i use most once its on the phone. before that i just edit the rom before i flash it. also, if the mod is not based on the rom you had previous, i would HIGHLY suggest wiping, to avoid problems. Good Luck, its not hard, if you need further assistance feel free to pm.

[HD2 General] drunken_prozac:
Hey guys & gals,

Prob been asked many times but I can't find the right answer anywhere.

My friend has a HD2 on O2 network in the UK, we have installed SPL 2.08.HSPL

We then set the Radio to 2.07.50 as stated in the 'energy' rom thread.

We downloaded the Energy Dinik Glass ROM but every time we try to install this ROM we get 'error 244 "Invalid Model ID" '

Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

thanks

Darren
[HD2 General] :
wrong thread sorry
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
double check you 'really' installed 2.08.hspl. Many people choose '2.08.0000' in the hspl dropdown instead of 2.08.hspl

.0000 means stock.

.hspl means hacked

Boot into bootloader and see what it says next to 'spl'.

If it ends .0000 then hspl isn't installed.
[HD2 General] drunken_prozac:
Removed, wrong thred responded to
[HD2 General] drunken_prozac:
Yup definatley 2.08.HSPL, I checked this morning because I didn't believe he had done it by himself (hes not technical minded & gets me to do all his dirty work)

After HSPL I changed his radio as it was runing something like 2.07.51xxxxx

:(

I was thinking maybe its a American ROM and he has a UK phone?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
wouldn't matter, tmous roms work fine on euro leo, just not the other way around.

not sure what to suggest. if anything occurs I'll be sure and post it.

in the meantime, i think I'd go back to stock (stock rom through sd card) and start over.
[HD2 General] drunken_prozac:
ok,

I downloaded the standard energy ROM and that worked first time! :)

he wanted the Glass version so I will look into it.

Thanks for your help and I will let you know if it is the glass ROM

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
If you need some web space, I can give you just that. I have unlimited HDD space on my hosting account, so I can offer you up to 5GB for storing android ROMs via FTP. This is a great offer, as you can backup your ROMs, knowing that you won't have them expire on websites like RapidShare and MediaFire.

The best thing is, it doesn't cost a penny to you! All you need to do is PM me and I'll set things up and get everything rolling.

I offer storage space of 1GB, 3GB and 5GB. If you're lucky, you can get 10GB, only if I'm in a good mood. If you really need more space, pop me coffee money and I'll give you 25GB. That's enough to make dozens of super fast ROMs.

You'd get a URL like: http://cdn.coburndomain.net/android/<YourXDAUsernameHere>/ .

Current List of Users with ROM Storage:

Kiljacken - 10GB

So yeah, there you go devs! Let the requests flow in! :)

Information for Chef's

UC_NET v0.6

2010/07/07

option to run on any boot you like

you can configure wait timeout

you can set any folder as root folder (not only XDA_UC)

you can display your own Welcome Message in any language.

see attached readme.txt for more details

UC_NET v0.5

2010/07/02

put UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk in your StartUp folder if you want run UC_NET.exe with these arguments

/CreateShortcuts

/CopyDirectories

/CopyFiles

/DeleteFiles

registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\Delete]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup\\UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk"=""

will delete this UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk link after first boot.

registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\AutoShortCut]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\\UC_NET Customize.lnk"="\\Windows\\UC_NET.exe"

will create shortcut for users in programs menu.

command line parameters

/CreateShortcuts - creates shortcuts for all files listed under

HKLM\Software\XDA\AutoShortCut

/CopyDirectories- copies all directories (including all files and subfolders) listed under

HKLM\Software\XDA\DirCopy

/CopyFiles- copies all single files listed under

HKLM\Software\XDA\FileCopy

/Delete- deletes all files listed under

HKLM\Software\XDA\Delete

read more about XDA_UC commands format here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562568

UC_NET extends XDA_UC

You can use variables in your commands

and it will work with any localization of windows.

for example, this key will delete UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk from Startup folder.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\Delete]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup\\UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk"=""

IMPORTANT - UC_NET doesn't show GUI to user if started with command line.

I think this is the most confusing part of original XDA_UC - your ROM depends on something that user will do on first (second) boot.

Therefor I disabled GUI - If user wants to use customization he will start it from start menu, and of course in this case user will know what's up. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Another difference from original XDA_UC - UC_NET will not install all cab files from windows folder. I can add this feature, but I don't know why Chef will put cab files into his "perfect" ROM. The same with reg files - what kind of chef needs to import reg files AFTER the ROM is ready? =)

please, post your comments and requests!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:

UC_NET extends XDA_UC with portable commands:

UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts

UC_NET_CopyDirectories

UC_NET_CopyFiles

UC_NET_MoveFiles

UC_NET_CreateShortcuts

UC_NET_Delete

UC_NET_Run

UC_NET_Execute

UC_NET_BackupReg

Just create text file (UTF8 and Unicode supported), fill this file with command arguments and put it to any XDA_UC folder (to root, or to root\1 and so on).

UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts, creates shortcuts for all exe files in given folder and its subfolders.

base filename UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts format:

create_shortcuts_here=folder_with_exe_files

create_shortcuts_here=folder_with_exe_files

...

base filename UC_NET_CopyDirectories format:

to=from

to=from

...

base filename UC_NET_CopyFiles format:

to=from

to=from

new in v0.9.3.1 - You can use "*" and "?" wildcards in UC_NET_CopyFiles, (if you are using mask, destination parameter should be a folder name, as you cannot copy several files to one file)

...

base filename UC_NET_MoveFiles - new command v0.9.3.1, works exactly like UC_NET_CopyFiles, but moves files. You can use it to rename files as well.

to=from

to=from

...

base filename UC_NET_CreateShortcuts format:

link="target"

link="target" params

...

base filename UC_NET_Delete format:

file_to_delete

file_to_delete

directory_to_delete

...

You can use "*" and "?" wildcards in UC_NET_Delete -

for example

StorageManager.Profiles.SDMemory\_test_del\*.txt

will delete all txt files in my folder _test_del on storage card.

base filename UC_NET_Run format: - new command v0.9.3.1

each line of such file is a path to your application (or script, or anything that can run). UC_NET will start program and wait until it finishes. You can pass parameters to your program. In this case Use quotes around path and then place a parameters.

for example:

"notepad.exe" my_text_file.txt

this will start notepad.exe and pass my_text_file.txt as parameter.

base filename UC_NET_Execute format: - new command v0.9.3.1

works exactly like UC_NET_Run, but doesn't wait for complete and continue with next customization step.

UC_NET_BackupReg - new command v0.9.4.0, uses FS_TaskMgr.exe /regxpkey feature.

format for this command is

filepath=[regkey]

filepath2=[regkey2]

...

See attached examples. Tell me if it's not clear how to use this feature.

You can have more than one file with parameters - just add something to base filename. For example UC_NET_CreateShortcuts1.Settings.Advanced will be parsed as well as UC_NET_CreateShortcuts.txt

-Would like to backup these icons in the exact order and every app should be installed, so each quick launch icon should referr to that perticular app.

After every install of any new energy ROM :D it is so much work to order and fill in the 3 home screens quick launch icons and apps :(

Where can I put folders and files to have automatically copied over. In SASHIMI, you put them in the Auto/Root folder

For example:

\Storage Card\SASHIMI\Auto\Root\Program Files

The folder and all it's sub-folders and contents would be copied to \Program Files

I tried naming a folder within the XDA_UC folder CopytoRoot and DirCopy and neither worked. What do I need to do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
name it Copy2Root

not CopyToRoot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
I have an idea for next v0.5:

I see it's not very clear how to create shortcuts with XDA_UC.

Imagine this - you can create shortcuts for all *.exe files in folder (and its subfolders). Just

1. create text file named like UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts.txt in your XDA_UC folder

2. add parameters to it

destination folder=source folder

destination folder 2=source folder 2

and so on.

for example if I add

Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\My Utils=\Storage Card\MyPortableUtils

UC_NET will create folder My Utils in Start Menu and then it will create shortcuts for all programs from \Storage Card\MyPortableUtils in this folder.

What do you think? =)
