Does anyone know how to make my own splash screen, to go in please of the incredible/now unrevoked one? I just got NAND unlocked.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ouikikazz:
pretty sure this belongs in themes
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mattguyver:
I had found a splash screen creator program, but its only for older android devices. I too would like to be able to create custom .img files. Anyone know how?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mattguyver:
original splash screen

So far I have had no luck in making my own boot screens, but I did manage to make it so we can re-enable the stock boot splash if it was changed to the unrevoked custom.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mc_88:
Any update on this?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tcberg2010:
Search how to create splash. There's a how to in this thread I used works great.
[G1 General] lolmensch:
Hi there,

there is already similiar thread to this where ppl discuss about the g1 going to the phone graveyard.

I always used the newest roms with the newest features, starting at jesusfreke's roms til cm6(also nightly builds)

From time to time we all recognized that our phones are not natively built for the firmwares we were able to use thanks to thos great devs we had and have.

Anyway we could help us with ramhack, JIT, Swap, Compcache, DangerSPL and much more.

Although there were huge efforts in making it usuable it never worked totally.

For Examlple:

A new script to prevent certain apps from being shut down, FireRat's -he said - "simple" but revolutionary and effective scripts/patches along with lbcoder (who's always a bit angry and annoyed by those newbies around the forum (as well as me :D))

BUT I was never completely satisfied with Eclair and FroYo on my rom. It always ran somehow sluggish. Then phone.apk was killed because deskclock was still in memory and you have to wait for 2-4 seconds till you can accept a call or whatever.

So in the end, although there were so much efforts I went back to donut and it feels so snappy after a long time....

Now I wanted to ask you all: Do you think that our phones should stick to Donut (perhaps even cupcake) and being developed in this way instead of always porting the newest stuff?

I know that especially FroYo has some really nice goodies which don't exist in Donut and I really miss them as well as some apps. (I paid for LauncherPro Plus and can't even use it right now)

But I want a phone that shoud be able to work flawless.

Perhaps we can build new Donut roms with some goodies from Eclair/FroYo

Therefore I've created this thread. I would like to know your opinions concerning this topic...

Where's my option for android 1.0?

Really!!!!! I never grew fond of auto-rotation or video recording anyway XD.

hmm. i can't remember 1.0 anymore. I know that I had it. Do you want to make a rom? :D

I think it would be quite difficult to make one.. ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] digitalpressure:
Hi Guys,

Just got my hands on SGS I9000 a week back, now running on Eclair 2.1 with JG4 Update. Pretty satisfied with TouchWIZ 3.0 too :)

Am getting GPRS Service from my provider - Vodafone, India. The real problem for me is Vodafone does not provide EDGE (True 2G Packet Data Transfer) Service other than iPhone and Blackberry users.

Am not able to log in to GTalk and other Google applications so as can not enter Android Market as it's obviously asking me to log in with Google Account.

Have browsed thousands of web pages for the fix, which does not exist as of now. No manual settings to enable EDGE from Vodafone. Am feeling handicapped without Google Services and Android Market :(

Any help from here??? Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twisted_mind:
Vodafone does indeed have edge plans mate. Give them a call and get it on your account. Seems u have one of those "wap" plans like "airtel live". Those won't let u browse the internet or connect to market or anything on the SGS.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
could this replace those popular launchers out there, like launcher pro, plus and adw , etc

give it a try

Remember is still in beta stage 2.

Visit http://www.mappn.com/index.php for more info (im not the developer)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Badious:
aHome has been around for a while now, and it's always a slower software then the other launchers..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
yea i notice that too but i just try this version of ahome and even though is still in beta a runs pretty smooth on the evo compare to other ahome versions.

its seems this version is heading for android phones with 2.0 and higher devices.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NovaFox238:
I'll give it a shot, why not? :P Downloading...

Quick update:: Just a real quick first hands on of this version of aHome, and must say.. not bad. Compared to past versions. It's actually quite smooth. WIsh there were more options, but not a big deal. Also wish the app drawer was a bit smoother, but I am keeping in mind its still a beta. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Yeah its not bad at all. I'll keep my launcher pro for now, as you said some things are a little less fluid then lp, but still a beta yes.

[Desire General] well0549:
Something funny, don't know if anybody has seen this....

On my main screen I have the WiFi & Mobile widgets from HTC.

on the third screen (swipe to the right) i have those widgets in exaactly the same location.

But no wthe funny thing..... I was having trouble with my mobile data connection so i wiped the phone. Then i put the widgest on the same place and everything is working fine. I try to repair my mobile data connection in various ways so plenty of reboots.

Then i decided to see hwat's going on inside and i installed logcat. After doing this, the widgets didn't respond anymore. I could tick them but they would not change. However i could see wifi coming on in the status bar so every thing seemed to work execpt for the widget itself beeing updated.

Getting bored with the widget I decided to remove the widget. But after removal, another one (on the same position) was still visible. I removed that one too. Exactly the ssame happened with mij mobile widgget.

I have seen this "stacking of widgets on top of each other" so far with the contacts widget, agenda widget, wifi widget, and mail widgets......

Has anybody seen this.

So my phone was in working order again couple of reboots later i decided to install bugreport to again see what was going on insid ethe log...

Same behaviour.....

I Deinstalled them and have not seen this behaviour again..... but i wonder what's causing this behaviour
[Desire General] dgattenb:
some times when I close services / apps etc.. system ones.. I get wigits on top of each other on one page , I thing scroll to the next page .. lock my phone ,,, and unlock it.. everything is back to normal ...
[Droid Incredible General] mattjacobson:
Hey, so I'm not really sure where to post this, but here goes nothing.

To my knowledge, the incredible is not marketed as having a magnetic trigger (a la the Droid), but I have noticed interesting behavior when in close proximity to magnets.

The backstory- I am working on a stealth (looks stock) magnetic mount for my Inc. to connect to my car. (Actually just finished installation and testing... will post more on that later). Anyhow, when I have magnets in the back cover, it seems to disable the accelerometers, thus keeping the device orientation regardless of movement and positioning.

Not sure if this is a hardware deal wherein the magnets physically impede the accelerometers, but using a logging app, it seems that the sensors are actually disabled.

Anybody want to weigh in if I am missing something?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] hometoast:
It makes sense that it would at least mess with them if not totally disable it. I'd also wager your compass will be unusable.

What *I* want to know is if there is a way then that the device could determine if it's a magnet. Could use that to trigger a car-dock type of mode?
[Droid Incredible General] mattjacobson:
Well I assumed that it would affect my compass (weighed the consequences, but I hardly ever use it).

The interesting thing to me was that it didn't just throw everything off, it seemed to disable the sensor's output.

You bring up a good idea tho, perhaps turning on a program based on the sensors not returning values (given that my earlier speculation is accurate). My plans thus far was going to have a tasked widget activate my "car mode", but this could be interesting.
[Droid Incredible General] hometoast:
Couple of tests with SensorsTest and GPSStatus apps and yeah.. the magnet does for sure disable the compass (locks it on East). And definitely breaks the orientation sensor. BUT I wonder if GPS nav needs the magnometer reading for heading anyway.

Even a little whiteboard magnet put just below the speaker on the back cranks the magnometer readings to fly up to 1000-2000. :eek:

I should get my ass in gear and see if I can't write a "car dock" app like we're describing and have it not break anything. :cool:

I should also contact HTC and see if prolonged exposure to a "strong" magnet will break the sensor. :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chris_barsoum:
Hey guys,

I've got a rooted Telus Milestone with app2sd installed.

I've got a small problem with my physical keyboard. Whenever I try to input a ? it enters a ; instead

even when i press alt + ? it still appears as a ;

if anyone has heard of this issue or has a solution for it, i'd appreciate it.

I've tried to search but i couldn't find anything

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] [ L ]:
Two solutions to this problem:

1. You are hitting the ; key on accident and not realizing it, so you need to work on that.

2. If that's not right, then maybe you should start using a digi keyboard instead.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggajoe506:
I am regretting that I updated to Froyo from sprint because now when I open up an App that involves music a few things happen. First if I open slacker and close it when I'm done then later in the day use the mp3 player app (stock/or from market) slacker will start while the mp3 playing and vice versa. Another thing that really grinds my gears, is that when using the mp3 player (stock or after market) The song will speed up really fast and go through 4 songs in like 15 seconds. This is really flustering me because I want to sell my Itouch because I have this phone but know I am not sure if i really wanna do that. Any suggestions or should I just do a little searching and root 2.2 so I can flash a different version a 2.2 that you guys have provided?

Thanks in advance,

jiggajoe

P.s. If someone already reported this issue sorry I tried searching before posting but did not find it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
firstly - check the sticky at the top of this section. There is no way to root 2.2 yet.

Having said that, I don't think what your describing is normal, even for stock froyo. If you're still within your 30 days, you might want to think about trying to exchange it.
[Desire General] elziko:
I have upgraded from my rooted 2.1 to the rooted official HTC 2.2. However to avoid having to reinstall things and setup my phone I did not wipe the data & cache before flashing the ROM.

Is this a particularly bad idea for some reason? Everything seems to work OK... so far!
[Desire General] kmetek:
hm, did you do nandroid backup + titanium backup all data etc?
[Desire General] elziko:
yes I have a full nandroid backup of my original ROM should anything go wrong. I didn't do a titanium backup though because I thought that not wiping the data & cache would be easier.

If it doesn't work out then I can revert to my nandroid backup and start again, this time WITH a titanium backup.

I'm wondering what sort of problems I should expect?
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
The problem issue of not wiping data is kinda random... Sometimes when you flash a different ROM despite not wiping data it would work and sometimes it wouldnt.

When upgrade your ROM and flash the same ROM but with different version, you can do it without wiping. The impact should be minimum.

When you flash a different ROM that the currently using, there is a chance that not wiping might result in a boot-loop or the ROM not working as it should be.

The main guideline should be to flash any ROM and do a full wipe if you get a boot-loop or find any issue with the ROM. Doing a full wipe when flashing different ROMs is also recomended.
[Desire General] elziko:
OK, thanks. Since I have all the backups to go back if needs be I think I'll carry on and see if I have any issues.
[Desire General] dezborders:
Personally, I think it's a risky.

However, wait until you get problems, then do a full wipe, including Davlik cache and do NOT restore apps from a backup after.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carhigh:
I have 2 hd2's ive been playing with DarkStone build on. They both run great but every time i download and install battery monitors or widgets from the market, i start to get the black screen of death and have to do battery pulls. I remove the apps and the phones run great again. No freezes!!

Ive ONLY been playing with these android builds for 2 days and i have tried several of those apps and ive figured this out. But durring my searches, i have heard nothing about these apps doing things like this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vegito168:
I've got a similar issue. I like to use System Tray Monitor, and Advanced Task Manager, but both of them force close every time. I actually don't get a BSOD, but I do get FC's. They install no problem, but FC as soon as I attempt to open the app. :(

I haven't been able to figure out why. Hopefully DarkStone or another experienced Dev can look into this. At the very least have a battery widget or monitor would be nice to have running. Guess we'll just have to be patient, and hope that they are aware of the issue and find a way alleviate it.

I'm a new too, but I don't think you need it. If you install a custom recovery and select 'Recovery' from the bootloader, it should launch your custom recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horiveira:
I personally like the AmonRA recovery because of the easy navigation using the few buttons we have. Others prefer Clockwork; though with that one, some have noticed that when wiping,the recovery doesn't exactly wipe completely (or something to that effect, I could be wrong). Try downloading ROM Manager, from there you can flash Clockwork or an alternative recovery, which would be AmonRA. Otherwise, go to the Development forum and search for how to flash AmonRA recovery.
