[Android Apps and Games] Yougli:
I don't know about Cyprus Live Wallpaper, but concerning "Live Wallpaper Optimus Prime", don't you mean "Shake Them All! Live wallpaper" with the Optimus Prime skin?

If so, you can find the APK (or QRcode to market) on the official thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=643313

Or on the website there:

http://www.shake-them-all.net

Then you can download the skin from the app itself, in the Settings/Skin Manager.

When I'm flipping left and right on my home/widget screens this short cut/jump to screen pops up on the bottom. I can't figure out how to disable it!! I try to go into my drawer/all app list and end up jumping to another home screen. Please help
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You could just use a different launcher? I've moved to ADW Launcher and I'm loving it so far. Lots of options/tweaks.
[Droid X General] dr154:
Drop blur & just use an alternative home launcher such as adw or launcher pro.
[Droid X General] Corales:
Just downloaded new launcher. Good info thanks y'all.

[Droid X General] mavermc:
I use launcher pro (plus) the beta version is free, basically i turn off homescreen rotation (like it is in moto, which i agree with i'm only gonna hold the homescreen one way)

and i enable 5 rows in the homescreen Gives so much more room to have widgets. as well as icons, it looks kinda messed up if you go landscape homescreen.

It just makes sense to me and wish more wide phones (which is about all the new phones now) should come like that
[General Questions and Answers] envoykrawkwarrior7:
quite often my backflip which ive had for about 2 months will just stop running the homescreen, like it will go completely black, but all the apps on the screen will still activate and if i get alerts i can still go to those, just the homescreen will be black till i restart it, any idea what could cause that?
[Captivate General] wgpeter:
Sorry for the book but...Has anyone else had any issues with their screen going black, except the top status bar? This happens when changing apps sometimes & always when using any downloaded task manager. Sometimes for a second, other times it has required shutting the phone off. As for the signal loss, it is rarely above three bars. My old P.O.C. phone in the same locations would have full bars. Anywhere in S.F. today had average of 2-3 bars & dropped call twice. Argh! Thank You!!!

We all aware of it, all Samsung galaxy s phone suffer the same stall, lag. Lets hope for firmware update to fix the lag asap.

I am using a t-mobile unlocked phone...I am using Energy ROM...

I have set a password to open up my today screen..simple 4 letter password.

But when I enter it in the locked screen it is not responding...

I am not able to do anything now...I can receive calls..but I cant make calls or read sms...It is locked :(

I am sure I have used the exact lock code.

I was trying to do something through my PC...But that is also not responding as it is locked...

I cannot even flash ROM now :(

I removed battery

Can anyone help...

Is there any simple way to
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
hard reset your phone. to do that pull the battery, put it back on, and power on your device while holding BOTH THE VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP KEYS. follow the on screen instructions from there and you should be all good!
[HD2 General] appoos:
thanks for the help...it is fine now..
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
Do not use a password through the phones stock security. It WILL happen again to you. Its a well known problem, HTC knows as well as T-MO. They havent put out any fixes though. Just beware...

Also out of curiousity... did your password by chance start with "9"? Ive heard a rumor about that being the cause, and Im curious because my phone did this as well and my password began with 9.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skater4690:
something that would keep the recovery but replace everything else a stock rom is perfect cause the recovery image one has problems and i cant seem to go back to stock any advice will be welcomed as well

[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
Hey guys, I want to disable my data and leave mms enabled.so I am going to use the app called toggle data. Since the app disables the apn that includes both data and mms settings, how can I set up a separate access point just for mms?

I just don't know what field to fill under new apn settings.

Edit: I use these settings in the 1 apn that I have.

Name: Rogers Internet

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

Proxy: Not Set

Port: Not Set

Username: Not Set

Password: Not Set

Server: Not Set

MMSC: http ://mms.gprs.rogers.com

MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 720

APN Type: Not Set
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
bump or solution
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
When you use "Toggle Data widget", you will get an option to keep MMS enabled :)
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
Yes but by that it means it will not disable the separate MMS access point.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
APNdroid is my fave.

Same result

Boom...!
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
I have tried it, it still disables my MMS
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Hmm, odd... Works a treat for me... Maybe it's a network issue... If your provider use the same APN for both data and MMS, then that would probably be the issue...
[XPERIA X10 General] omgsigh:
When you set an extra access point make sure everything is exactly the same except for "APN TYPE" simply put mms. If you did it right, the mms access point will no longer be selectable.

this method works on AT&T
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
nice stuff thanks for the post.

The startup/shutdown sounds are so annoying, this is a great start.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
I was already looking into this yesterday, u beat me to it ;) What I'm trying to do is get the galaxy S 19000 shutdown animation on the vibrant. I seen it in a vid someone posted about odin3, where I noticed by quick glance that the shutdown animation was similar to the galaxy S boot animation (with the cool blue chips rotating to form GalaxyS) I got a hold of a 19000 dump so i'll be looking into it
[Vibrant Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Shouldn't that be:

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

to mount rw

and

mount -o ro,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

to mount ro

??

Maybe I am missing something
[Vibrant Android Development] Zyxwvu44:
thanks! worked like a charm, i can't wait to change my boot animation to android peeing on apple :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
What you guys don't like all that pink nonsense floating around? :D

Droid gets the cool eye and we get the love, hugs, kiss's, or whatever the heck it says. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
They both work and seem to do the same thing. This is the command I've always used to grant the rw permissions in the system partition and its always worked fine. If I were to guess(and it probably is wrong), the yaffs(yet another flash file system) points the the rfs as a generalized pointer(in case something decides not to use rfs???). Anyway, both work on the vibrant from what I've tested :)
[Vibrant Android Development] gravis86:
If you actually do this, let us know! I totally want that on my phone!
[Vibrant Android Development] Zyxwvu44:
i had it on my droid. when i get home i can post the image files, but i don't know how we would load it on to the vibrant. all i had to do was update.zip for the droid, we may have to wait for a recovery to be working
[Vibrant Android Development] basataom:
is there a similar process for startup?
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
boot process handles its animation a lil differently. There are 2 animations (tmo & galaxy S) that reside in /system/media/ that are called by 2 scripts in /system/bin precisely bootanimation and bootanimation2nd. shutdown is alot easier to replace and mod because it's handled by a dedicated shutdown app that processes the .png's as long as they're in order in sequence of shutdown_.png In order to mod bootanimation, we need a tool that can read .qmg files. I'm pretty sure inside the .qmg's files are png's also as aosp's bootanimation.zip for eclair contain .png's
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
Ok so a little on my progress:

I'm not able to delete the whole /shutdown dir and copy it over from the sdcard it gives me this error cp: 'omitting /sdcard/shutdown' so instead I did:

mkdir /system/media/video/shutdown

cp /sdcard/shutdown/* /system/media/video/shutdown

and it copies, however, it gets all mixed up and out of order. The result is the shutdown animation appearing but not running, it gets stuck obviously because the png's are out of order. Any idea as to how to transfer the contents into /shutdown without the system screwing up the order?? There's 60 png's for this animation btw
[Vibrant Android Development] Zyxwvu44:
here is the droid peeing on apple boot animation for the droid. the desc file tells it the resolution, how many times to repeat, the lag in between switching sections. i dont remember the specifics of that file, but im sure its different for the vibrant anyway,

well, these pictures could be used at least :)
[Vibrant Android Development] elopez2808:
Its cause Tmo loves us! They have to give us the hugs and kisses somehow :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
I haven't tested it, but I formated your files so you should be able to transfer them and give it a go :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
Looking into this as well. I have the files copied over...I'll play around with it when I get a chance and update when I find something new about it
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
you have the galaxy S shutdown files? I can upload if you need them. I also have the files copied over, however, like I mentioned earlier the order is all screwed up. When I shutdown, it shows the galaxy S logo and about to start the animation but stops and the tmobile audio plays like usual then shuts down. The audio for the shutdown anim. is in /system/media/audio/ui
[Vibrant Android Development] bubonik:
You can also delete the entire /video folder.

Startup sound: /system/etc/PowerOn.wav

Shutdown sound: /system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg
[Vibrant Android Development] ekeefe41:
I remember there was a time that the remount command was shorter for some ROM's on the g1.

Is

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

the only option for remounting system as rw?
[Vibrant Android Development] campy888:
Thanks for this. I used root explorer to make my changes. Now to find a better shutdown audio file.
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
is there any reason why when i attempt to modify /sdcard I get an error

# cp /sdcard/sd/shutdown /system/media/video/shutdown
cp: can't stat '/sdcard/sd/shutdown': No such file or directory

or

# mkdir /sdcard/animationbackup
mkdir failed for /sdcard/animationbackup, Read-only file system

these are just two arbitrary commands I tried executing
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
Make sure U put the shutdown folder in sdcard/sd/ (external sdcard) your system is saying there's nothing there. also you have to mount your phone's system to have read/write access. That's why you're getting read-only system

type this is terminal

mount -o rw, remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
[Vibrant Android Development] srqt:
Works great I love it!
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
does that only mout the /system directory on the phone?

I had been mounting it

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system

and/or

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system

with the same problem:

cp: can't stat '/sdcard/sd/shutdown': No such file or directory

even though the folder does exist
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
would this have anything to do with the fact that I am on a Mac and need the USB Debugging option on?
[Vibrant Android Development] Greenarcher707:
worked like a charm. thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] bradycl_84043:
fstab should already know the filesystem type and location, so a simple

mount -o rw,remount /system

to go read/write

or

mount -o ro,remount /system

to go read-only

should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Cool thanks, that t-mobile animation is annoying.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
that doesn't work. I've already tried that before to remount /system but it fails
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
anybody?

# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mk# dir /sdcard/animationbackup
mkdir failed for /sdcard/animationbackup, Read-only file system

still not sure what is going on
[Vibrant Android Development] setzer715:
so I deleted both bootanimation and bootanimation2nd from the /system/bin folder and it changed nothing, all boot animations ran the same so I do now know how they are related. I also removed samsungboot.qmg from /system/media and now neither the TMO or Galaxy S animations come up so they are both tied to just one file. We'll have to figure out how to edit the .qmg in order to be able to change boot animation.

P.S. Thanks for the instructions to remove shutdown, much nicer, now just gotta get rid of the bootup junk!
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
your system needs to be mounted to have read/write permissions in order to write (create) new directories.

It's failing because the system is read-only, meaning you can only see what's going on and cannot modify anything. that's whats going on
[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
This may be of use :)

unable to replace shutdown audio/video

hey guys, i created my own shutdown sequence, but cant seem to get it to play during shutdown. i first backed up the /system/media/video/* and also /system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg and then deleted them from the system. i then created a shudown png sequence named shutdown_x.png (x ranged from 01 to 29, set to 320x240 resolution) and created an audio clip renamed to Shutdown_128.ogg. i then put those files in their respective places in /system/media and tested shutting down after a reboot. i didnt see the animation play at shutdown =( any ideas why???
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
I guess my question is why it works for the OP but is not working for me?

Even when I am just trying to copy items from /sdcard/ to system, the phone gives me that "can't stat" error.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
galaxy S's files system isn't yaffs, it's rfs.

again:

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

make sure you're putting the shutdown files on the correct sdcard partition, and most importantly that there's anything inside the directory
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
I want to be sure that I am saving the folders to the correct sdcard.

When I view my storage using Astro, I can see that /sdcard has a bunch of files and folders like downloads and downloaded applications data.

When I try and list the contents of /sdcard in terminal I get a blank

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /sdcard
# ls

[Vibrant Android Development] Tydiz:
Its because you are starting with 01...it should just be 1
[Vibrant Android Development] lou0611:
this wasnt working for me, so I just installed them using typical Unix commands, IE cp mkdir, etc etc.. didnt have to mount, the shutdown animation is great, I used the Droid on the Apple.

PS just adb shell
[Vibrant Android Development] lou0611:
make sure the usb storage is not mounted. you have to unmount when using the cp command put busybox in front of it.
[Vibrant Android Development] lou0611:
Moderators let me know if this post is ok, just trying to help.

From adb shell

su

1.. type pwd, you should see / if not type cd .. until you get to the / prompt. the way to check this is by typing pwd

2. type ls

# ls

ls

dbdata

data_tmo

userdata

sqlite_stmt_jou

config

cache

efs

data

sdcard

init.rc

mnt

3. # cd sdcard

cd sdcard

4. # cd shutdown

5 # ls

shutdown_6.png

Thumbs.db

## busybox cp *.* /system/media/video/shutdown/

this was all done from adb shell and make sure you first copy the shutdown folder to your 12+gb drive, then you have to unmount from phone.

make sure you remove the current files out of /system/media/video/shutdown/
[Vibrant Android Development] skeeedup:
"Its because you are starting with 01...it should just be 1"

thanks, trying it now
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
When you say unmount from phone, I am assuming you mean Settings > SD Card.... > Phone Storage (unmount phone storage)? Even when I do this I still cannot even list the contents of sdcard

# cd sdcard
# ls
#

Very strange, shouldnt be this difficult.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
is your sdcard even mounted? I can't think of anything else why the files aren't showing up
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
I know, very strange. When I plug my phone into the comp I get the /sdcard and /sdcard/sd mounted and can look through them and see the files but trying to navigate and see any directories or files in /sdcard through terminal leads nowhere. I have tried this with /sdcard and /sdcard/sd mounted and unmounted to no avail.
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
ok well I just reverted to youneek's unrooted nandroid and install superuser and now I can access /sdcard. all around strange but hopefully everything works now. Thanks for everyones help.
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
worked, now just figuring out the out of order png problem

EDIT: installing clockworkmod is actually what is messing it up for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
I got around that error by copying everything inside the directory like this into the dir in /media/shutdown

cp /sdcard/shutdown/* /system/media/video/shutdown

It copied and all but the order is all screwed up.. Kmobs told me order shouldn't matter as long as the png's are labeled correctly but the animation starts and gets stuck
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
So this has to be 14 images or is there a way to make it longer? I found a good bootanimation in the nexus forum but its 20 images
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
no, it can be shorter or longer. The original i9000 shutdown animation i'm trying to port over has 60 frames, while the current has 14.
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
I have a 20 png animation and it only seems to get anywhere from 13-15 frames in before it stops. I wonder if the script that points to the shutdown folder limits the animation to 14 frames?
[Vibrant Android Development] lou0611:
Make sure your putting the shutdown folder on the higher gig partition. Ie. Not the one that has the movie folder.
[Vibrant Android Development] s3gfault:
When you say it starts and then gets stuck, does it stop at frame 14? this frame limit could easily be hardcoded special in the vibrant, is my thinking.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
yes, i've noticed it stops at frame 14.. I've also come to think the same. on another note, I've successfully been able to remove the tmobile bootanimation and replace it with the samsung bootanimation playing with the original i9000 boot sound. I've also got the i9000 shutdown audio playing. The only thing needed to be complete is the i9000 shutdown animation! Idk why it stops at 14, i've replaced the shutdown.apk with the i9000's and still stops at 14.. soon as we can get this worked out, I'll upload everything needed to get boot/shutdown animation with correct audio just like i9000 with complete instructions
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
there's gotta be something that's limiting the shutdown animation to 14 frames. It isn't the shutdown.apk.. It seems like an easy quick value change would do the trick, it's just a matter of finding where this file resides to be able to mod it. I have checked everywhere in /system, in /etc, in /media, in /bin but with no luck
[Vibrant Android Development] imthekuni:
For everyone who is attempting to alter the shutdown sequence, do any of you have clockworkmod installed? It seems to be denying me access to /sdcard whenever its on my phone.

EDIT: After uninstalling my apps 1 by 1, its doubleTwist that seems to be giving me problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
yes I have it installed.
[Vibrant Android Development] srqt:
How did you manage to change the bootanimation? I changed my bootup sound but have had 0 luck in altering the animation.
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
I just swapped it out with the one from the i9000.
[Vibrant Android Development] srqt:
can you link/post the files, I hate that stupid pink block thing...
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Here ya go
[Vibrant Android Development] yvyv:
Can anybody explain why in terminal after entering "su" I keeps asking me for password "the screen is unlock" I dont even have a password set up in my phone ?

Thanks much!
[Vibrant Android Development] GameOver69:
Have you figured out how to get more than 14 frames yet? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
