Hi I have a problem. I changed my ROM to Cog v2.4. This ROM delete the original s galaxy bootanimation.qmg factory and replacement with another bootanimation.zip

Question: I can reconfigure a bootanimation qmg as had before?

I tried deleting the bootanimation.zip and drop these files again:

/System/media/bootsamsung.qmg

/System/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

/System/bin/bootanimation

/System/bin/bootaniamtion2nd

But only the text "andorid" appears animated.

Is it possible the return to the original bootanimation qmg? What files and modifications need to do? Could you share with me the files needed to return to the original bootanimation?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Cog's kernel doesn't support the *.qmg animation support, instead going for an option that is more user-configurable. And no, there is no known process for altering a *.qmg into a *.zip format; but, fortunately for you, if you truly must have that "Galaxy S" logo for bootup, feel free to use this: http://cid-11d05b676a3170c4.office....lic/Android/bootanimations/samsunggalaxys.zip and rename it to "bootanimation.zip" and put it in /data/local or /system/media

WOW thanks for your reply and I did not know this. Try bootanimation.zip test you recommended me but does not work. I note that the bootanimation.zip with png images not work for me. jpg images of bootanimation.zip to work perfectly. Why? Does anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] granbosteron:
converted png images to jpg and still does not work. I see that some bootanimations with pictures in jpg to not work and others work fine. Could it be? this means that no matter the images of bootanimation. My problem must surely be another.

[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
anyone else out there have stuck pixels on their device? i have a single pixel that likes to stick itself green from time to time. a minor annoyance.. but interesting nonetheless.

am i the only one?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
There was a thread on here the other day with someone complaining about the same thing. I don't think it's a very common occurrence, though.
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
you are not alone...I have one stuck pixels as well. I am reluctant to exchange the phone because this is my 4th unit that finally works well. The first was laggy and kept rebooting, the second one had a faulty buzzing earpiece, the third had a home key that didnt work.

I love this phone and as a result have been willing to live with all the exchanges. I was finally given a unit without the prior 3 issues, but now am stuck with a unit with one tiny stuck pixel. I am willing to accept this minor annoyance because it is bairly noticeable and i am tired of reinstalling all my apps again.
[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
agreed that its a minor annoyance. i chalk it up to the hiccups of relatively new technology. one pixel does not bother me. as long as it doesnt turn into a huge patch later.. :P haha
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
Try getting Color Flashlight from the market and run the pattern "Rainbow"

I'm not sure about SAMOLED, but flashing different colors has been known to unstick LCD pixels.
[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
ah HA!! yes.. good idea.. i remember that from the LCD days way back when. ;)
[Vibrant General] captain_awesome:
just an update here.. after flipping through the various colors available on color flashlight, my pixel remains stuck. it virtually disappears on the blue and green screens, barely visible on the amber screen but totally black on the red screen. the red part of the pixel must be dead. :( ahh well.

cest la vie.
[Nexus One General] dudekiller:
i want to end my contract with att but i dont want to pay 175 dollars is there a fool proof way to get out of my contract?
[Nexus One General] hbkmog:
Actually I have a question here, too.

I'm eligible for upgrade next January. Does that mean I can get out of the contract by that time or do I still need to serve the full 2 years in their prison?
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
Are you on unlimited data? You could try to use an enormous amout of data... I don't know if this will work though, I have seen people's bill who have used 15-20gb's with no notice...

That's one reason I'm not hesitating on my data usage... I'm probably going to hit 10-12gb's this month and I don't tether at all, I wonder what I would use if I started tethering ;)
[Nexus One General] walie:
die

works every time
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
i would imagine that the tiered data plan would have been a great loophole
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
what do you mean by this? :confused:
[Nexus One General] jose540:
No, having an upgrade doesnt mean you're out of contract. Unless your two years are up, you will still get an ETF. But at least its prorated.
[Nexus One General] verboten:
I have heard that if you tell them you are leaving the country they will let you out of your contract without paying the ETF. Maybe tell them you or your family got a job in Europe or something.
[Nexus One General] d00mz:
you signed a contract, how about you honor it or pay the ETF like you said you would?
[Nexus One General] ManticoreX:
Sometimes I have heard that if you are moving to a new cellular company, you can convince them to pay the fee for you if you sign onto one of their contracts. Going from one contract to another, but if you wanted to switch to Verizon you might be able to get them to pay it for you.

(Notice: I have never done this nor know anyone who has tried it. I read it was possible online so results will vary. Also depends on who you are dealing with I assume)
[Nexus One General] dudekiller:
i didnt sign it my parents did i want my own contract im moving to tmobile so if anyones in the oc and wants to trade a att nexus for a tmobile one give me a call 714 900 3930

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Joe333x:
So I took a chance and ordered these http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Screen-Prote...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f01947c05 and they ended up being just what I was looking for simple easy to install no solution or water needed screen protectors. Its great that you get 10 in case you screw up putting it on but I actually got the first one on without any dust or bubbles and now have 9 others to use when the current one gets scratched. The same seller also sells them is 3s or 5s but you save more if you buy 10. Just thought I would post this since I see all these ridiculously over priced protectors that require a spray or water to install and say that they are made from "military grade" material lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] tangrams:
Those look good, I'd love to find some that cover the buttons though because of the dust under screen issue.

Hi There,

I'm trying to extract the contents of system.sin.

I've used jerpelea's guide and used dd to extract the .sin file to system.img

I then downloaded and compiled unyaffs from its google code website.

using gcc -o unyaffs unyaffs.c

compiles without issue

as soon as I attempt to use unyaffs system.img

I get Segmentation Fault appearing on the console.

I'm running the latest ubuntu distro on an x86 machine.

I realise this isn't stricly android devel, but its related to it, if only I could get past these initial stumbling blocks there's so much more to learn :D

Thanks for the help in advance guys n gals.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dangerzau:
Have also tried the windows version thats floating around of unyaffs and get the same segmentation fault type message there as well :(

***UPDATED FILE TO REFLECT CRICKET IP ADDRESS CHANGE***

Okay so I am not going into detail about Cricket/Metro EPST settings (##3282# and ##778#) or how to use QPST right now. There are plenty of forums which detail everything you need in order to get that setup. I am specifically NOT posting links to these, since they all differ and are nothing more than confusing. The important thing is that you set your user-name to your10digitnumber@mycricket.com and the password (or secret) to "cricket" (without quotes). The MSID is a number which will be assigned to you once you have a Cricket/Metro account setup. You can call them and ask them for this number.

1. Please keep in mind that I did not do anything word-for-word from other tutorials. This setup does not require any proxy shortcuts with Anycut or Bettercut. Also, This is much easier to accomplish, especially if you are not computer savvy, using Root Explorer (download this from the market), rather than ADB.

2. Download this package (Cricket) or this package (Metro), depending on whether you are on Cricket or Metro. Unzip the RAR - It contains the 3 files which will be used.

3. Put these 3 files anywhere on your SD card.

4. Using Root Explorer, copy "u2nl" to root/system/bin/

5. Using Root Explorer, create a new folder within root/data/ and name it "opt" (without quotes).

6. Using Root Explorer, copy "autostart.sh to root/data/opt/

7. Download "Autostart (Root)" from the market.

8. Download "APN Backup and Restore" from the market.

9. Open APN Backup and do a backup of your current APN (for safe keeping).

10. Using APN Backup, delete APN's.

11. Using any file explorer, move the cricketAPNs.xml to the APN backup folder on your SD card.

12. Using APN Backup, restore APN's and select the cricketAPNs.xml as the file to restore.

13. Reboot and you are done.

Metro users, please note:

A few Metro users are saying that Metro does not allow the EVO on their network. I am not sure of this but, if you are a Metro user and want to get your EVO working on their network, you may want to verify that they allow it.

Also, in order to get a phone working on a particular network, you will need to update your PRL file to one that is for that particular network. This tutorial is not going to cover this because there are different PRL's for different areas and different providers. Search around and you should have no problem finding a PRL for your network.

Feel free to email me at synthaxxx@gmail.com

God I wish I was brilliant like you guys :(

Everytime I read one of these tutorials I want to do it sooo bad but I don't know if I am missing anything not covered such as when someone asks "how do you get your esn added to metroPCS since most reps wont do it for you?". Questions like that scare the hell out of me into thinking that I am missing something so I will end up doing all these steps and then finally get to a missing step not covered at the end which ruins everything.

Is there anyway that someone could do a 6 minute youtube video from ground zero to full internet? pls pls pls :):):)

Thank you so much Synthrax for this tutorial. I might be able to try it but even if I'm too scared of missing something I still really appreciate you taking the time to post this tutorial thank you =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] theboundless:
If I'm not mistaken doesn't this process only give one internet connection and apps? Since it doesn't give you the ability to make calls or sms, isn't the title of the thread "everything but mms" a little misleading?

I know you said that you don't want to go over everything already said in the threads about setting up the qpst settings, but I think at least links would be helpful especially for people reading the thread and expecting to actually find directions on setting up everything but mms per the title.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
There are two reasons for this...

1. I am not familiar with Metro and I will not post a link to one of the hundreds of differing tutorials, only to have people entering the wrong values in EPST.

2. This thread is within the "EVO 4G Android Development" forum which is for people who have enough knowledge to root their phone and typically much more. Should I also link to a "rooting" tutorial?

I will do what I can to post some of the generic EPST settings when I have time. I would love to write an all-inclusive guide, from start to finish, on how to buy the EVO, unlock it, install a custom ROM, provision EPST, update the PRL, and then get data working on Metro/Cricket... But, until I have time for all of that, you will have to do a little foot-work of your own to find some of the steps missing from my tutorial.

This tutorial is in direct response to all of the people who were looking for it. The title is not at all misleading, as this is the only known method for getting everything working. Yes, it assumes you have the phone on Cricket/Metro and voice and text are working... Anyone can walk into a Cricket store and get a phone flashed - this tutorial is for getting around the Cricket/Metro proxy, and it works :)

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] theboundless:
Thanks for posting more. I currently use and evo on the metropcs network in los angeles, and I think its a great option for those who want to have a great phone but don't want to pay 70+ dollars a month in carrier charges. I used the terminal method to modify the autostart program but next time I think I'll try out your method with the root explorer program.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhcp011235:
Hey,

I'm sorry I just wanted to add my comments here.

You can get any CDMA phone flashed to metropcs but, you need to check here if its possible for it to work.

Link: http://www.metropcs.com/coverage/

You will notice it will say what type of phone it is. 'dual ban' or AWS. NYC and a few other places do not support android phones. So, if you do it in NJ and you go to NY for dinner do not expect your inet to work or anything except voice/text.

If you want to talk to someone at metro - 800-901-6266 , this is their tech line. You may have a problem getting your ESN added to the network because they dont allow smart phones atm. Same goes for boost. and cricket. You may need to call 30 times and keep giving the IMEI/ESN/MEID and try to trick them.

This is not an easy process. and to be quite honest. its not worth it.

As for the PRL files: http://www.corolada.com/prl/

My advice if you want to save money. Do as i do. Get a GSM android phone. Make sure the freq is compat with tmo. And get mysimplemobile.com. Its 60 a month unlimited * including intl text. its owned by TMO.

Anyways, I hope this helps you guys. so you dont go run and buy a phone and think its going to work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumpman6235:
Dont go to a corp store to get your ESN added, not gonna happen... search phone forums or ebay, people will add it for $50
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhcp011235:
Even if you DO get it added. it will not work right. I dont care what anyone says.

But, have fun :) Metro is not the way to go.

Boost you can get away with it. but you need a hookup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
I'm hoping so cause I'm on boost. Just got back from a walk up and down the street. Anyone know of any ideas? If I have to go with a new TP2, I guess I can, but if I could get into the EVO I wouldn't mind. I've got backups of this phone, but don't know if they'll be any help. Really bummin right now and trying like hell to find the silver lining. PM me if you've got any ideas or maybe a TP2/Evo with bad numbers? I miss it already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] badutahboy:
Do widgets work with Cricket? I used to switch WM phones to cricket all the time, but I've never done android because (previously), widgets couldn't work. Has anyone figured out a system-wide proxy to get widgets working reliably?
[EVO 4G Android Development] theboundless:
Um, you're wrong. I AM on metropcs with my evo, and it works great, I got everything but MMS working, which is for me the least useful thing anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SYNTHAXXX:
EVO works fine

The EVO works on any CDMA network that will allow another provider's phone on their network. The tutorial I posted works and, compared to all the others out there, is quite simple to follow.

This solution provides full internet - this is the "system-wide proxy fix". By following this tutorial, everything will work, except for MMS. The MMS issue has not been resolved yet, even with the correct settings in the APN.

To make a long story short - if you have questions, ask them... if you have comments, share them... but please do not post about how something doesn't work just because you can't figure it out. All that does is waste space and confuse future readers, which is why I moved this tutorial over to a new thread in the first place.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
i had internet, facebook, etc working except incoming mail. i tried doing your solution hoping it would work, and in worst case, it should have left me where i was. now right away any program that requires internet access gives a connection error. i tried restoring the apn that was backed up prior to installing metropcs' and still no luck...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlogix:
Strange update...i have all of the instructions on this thread down to a T...until today i couldn't send or receive mms...then i updated to the new 32100 PRL and sent two messages one to my phone number one to my email....neither errored out and i'm still waiting on a message to my phone and in my inbox. will report

...(his code you dirty mind!!!)...

...and I am wondering...I like to mess around with the MMS stuff on the Evo to see if where the code is that resizes the images before even putting them in the message..

Would it be possible to get the java (precompile) version of a dev's ROM's MMS? Not sure if I am even asking that right but my first attempt to even understand Davilic code just left me cross-eyed. I'd like to offer support to the community and MMS is a big issue for me...so I'd like to try to cut my teeth on looking through it.

Anyone able to point me to Evo 2.1 (or 2.2 I guess) MMS? (Not the apk because decompiled it is not returned to what you see in the SDK.

Barring that...a secondary/replacement question...do the custom ROMS have the same issue with MMS resizing? (I am talking about the

first

resize that is done ON the Evo...when you attach it...

not the second

resize that happens on sprints servers.)

That is the messaging app, but what you are looking to do might be in the framework (I haven't looked into it enough) maybe here: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base

There are some other framework packages as well.

I worked on a tool I wanted to use at work, where I'm tied to Windows, so I did some development on Windows, and used github. There is actually a pretty decent git setup for Windows as well, I think it is similar to the Tortise SVN client, but for git.

[Vibrant General] JasjarMan:
I will have a droid x tomorrow as it was a replacement. In the mean time I bought a vibrant. I love the V but I also love the X!

I know this is V forum but I will also post this in the X forums to see if anyone there had to make a choice like mine!

If you had to choose, which one and why? WHY did you choose the V?
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
I assume that by being on XDA you'll want to play around with the phone and custom roms, the Droid X's locked bootloader will dampen the fun. Who knows when people will crack it, might be a month, might be a year.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Agreed with what tissimo said. In addition to that, Vibrant offers Super AMOLED Screen (colors are amazing), and 1GHz Hummingbird Processor. Which are pretty much the best specifications for an Android phone at the moment. Not to mention but its rumored that Verizon will be killing "unlimited data" in the future, so T-Mobile has the upper hand if Verizon goes on with that plan of going on capped data plans.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
The screen of the Vibrant is perfect. I think 4.3'' is too big. It feels bad in my pocket. The screen of the X is very close to the edge of the phone (scares me). the semi-blur UI sucks compared to TouchWiz. Having the ability to change settings on the notification bar on the Vibrant rocks (and music controls).

But like everyone has, and will say.... Motorola pissed off the android world when they locked their bootloader like it was the holy grail. I would never buy a phone that I could not flash a custom ROM... and you saw how long it took them to get eclair on the droid, laughable. THANK GOD those with a droid could flash a custom rom (yeah Motorola, that helped you a lot, all of these wonderful developers doing your job).
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Well I think the Vibrant is just about the perfect screen size. The Droid X just seems too big. Also, the Vibrant will almost assuredly have CM6 before the Droid X, if the X even gets it at all!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ sadly, it will not.
