i currently have a rooted 2.2 Droid Incredible, and i want to install a custom rom but i dont want to lose all my apps and settings so i downloaded an app called Titanium backup, but the problem is i have no idea how to use it. so can someone tell me what to do, i want to use this app to backup all my apps, settings etc. so i dont have to go and redownload everything after i install a custom rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
Hit Menu, then Batch, then select what you want to backup.
[Droid X General] Fireplug:
I haven't seen anyone else with this problem yet, so sorry about the new thread.

I have a Droid X that came straight from Verizon with 2.1, and was delivered a the day the official OTA for 2.2 went live. I always intended to run the leaked version of 2.3.15, but out of curiosity I went to the update page on the phone and asked it to check for an update just to see what it said.

It of course said that an update was available and then started a countdown saying it was going to begin the update momentarily. I hit the button to cancel the immediate update and then proceeded to go through all the steps that ended up with me having a phone running the leaked, rooted 2.3.15 version. It was supposed to be the DeOdexed version, but because I never formatted the system during the update the Odexed files remain. THAT I know how to fix.

My problem is that apparently because I "started" the OTA update process, Verizon wants to STILL update, even though I am already running the leaked 2.2. So multiple times a day now a little window pops up telling me "Download of update failed" and there is nothing I can do but back out of the window. I can't stop the update process anywhere, and if I go to the "Check for updates" window again it says "update in progress"

Anyone have any ideas short of clearing everything and starting all over again (which I will do if I have to, but this seems like an interesting unique problem that some of you might want to know about or tackle.)

Thank you
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
Look on your sdcard for a folder named "cache" and delete it. That MIGHT fix it. This is just a guess.
[Droid X General] tdrake2406:
couldnt find it. any other ideas?
[Droid X General] dr154:
How about you SBF back to the 2.1 and then update to OTA 2.2 and check this thread out here for - OTA 2.2 Deodex'd
[Droid X General] tdrake2406:
so if i downloaded the 2.2 ota update in rom manager i can still sbf down to 2.1? just wanna make sure its ok before i brick my phone. lemme know thanks
[Droid X General] senormoll:
Hey man, I'm completely a guide-following noob here, but I've got to tell you...I'm not sure you can do that.

I know the OTA changes the bootloader, which means if you sbf back then the efuse will be triggered and brick you. I'm not sure how far the update has to go before it makes that change. It doesn't sound like it's done anything on yours, but I'd ask some more knowledgeable people here first
[Droid X General] dr154:
If you have the official OTA 2.2 then no you can't downgrade back to 2.1 though the means of SBF because OTA 2.2 changes the kernel and baseband of the device which are not compatible with 2.1.

Question to everyone worried about receiving the OTA 2.2 and keeping the leaked 2.2, your getting better performance from the OTA 2.2 then the leaked 2.2 version, just my thought.
[Droid X General] tdrake2406:
if only someone had the answer!!!!!
[Droid X General] groovejedi:
Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me with 3 unfortunate issues I've been noticing since I rooted last night. I rooted 2.2 on my Droid X and backed up everything with Titanium backup. I removed a bunch of bloatware but I made sure that everything I renamed from .apk to .bak was "safe to remove" based on messages I read on multiple forums. I am also running Launcher Pro Plus. Here are the issues I'm seeing.

Every time I power down the phone and then turn it back on, I'm seeing the following 3 issues:

1) WidgetLocker - the Alarm Clock v2 tiny clock icon that I have on my lock screen disappears. Also, the Switch Pro Widget (Size 4) that I have on my lock screen also disappears. I can put them back no problem but as soon as I power down and turn the phone back on, they're gone again.

2) Folder Organizer - I have several shortcuts on my homescreen with custom icons. For example, I have a shortcut with an icon that looks like a pair of headphones. Tapping on this icon opens the Folder Organizer shortcut to reveal my music player, Pandora, FM Radio, etc. Everytime I power down the phone and then turn it back on, all of the icons revert back to the default Folder Organizer icon.

3) Anytime I plug in my phone via USB to my computer, Folder Organizer and Widget Locker fail with a force close. This happens regardless of whether or not I have USB debugging checked or what mode it's on (PC Mode, USB, etc).

I tried reverting a few items from .bak back to .apk but it didn't fix either of these issues. Anyone have any ideas? I would GREATLY appreciate it, thanks so much!
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
Have you moved any apps to the sd card
[Droid X General] groovejedi:
Strange! I didn't think I had but they were on the SD card when I checked. Just moved SwitchPro, Widget Locker and Folder Organizer back to the phone and it looks like it solved all 3 issues!!

I can't thank you enough!!!!!!! :)
[Droid X General] zsg1313:
could also try rom managers fix permissions.
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
glad I could help, keep any apps with widgets on phone. I've had that problem before too.
[Droid 2 General] driverx125:
When i try to do a adb remount i get operation not permitted.:confused::mad:
[Droid 2 General] walcs:
It looks like you dunt have superuser
[Droid 2 General] chrstdvd:
See if your phone is asking to allow superuser permission. It does not stay on screen very long, so just glance at it and see if it pops up and then push the grant permission button.
[Droid 2 General] driverx125:
i got it. i just had to put the bootstap on it.
[Droid 2 General] facelessuser:
Without bootstrap you do not have a constant root adb shell. In order to get root in adb shell, you would have to type su. Bootstrap patches adbd on the phone to allow for a constant root adb shell.
[Epic 4G General] num1rbffan:
when ever i go to adb shell it comes up and says:

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device offline

I have tried deleting all drivers and Samsung Kies and reinstalled all of them many times. The phone is already rooted and is running a Clockwork recovery. I have tried different data cables. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Tried a different USB port? I assume you did turn on 'usb development' in the settings, right?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Disable your antivirus network protection or add an exception to the drive the epic comes up as. For me Avast was blocking data transfer to the Epic and adb kept reporting it offline shortly after plugging it in. Added an exception and I can adb shell into every single time now.
[Epic 4G General] num1rbffan:
yes usb debugging is on. Ive tried different ports on the the computer. I even uninstalled the antivirus and nothing
[Epic 4G General] Jackalo:
I had to switch USB ports to get mine to be seen.
[Epic 4G General] <3me:
are you trying to do it from recovery?

that was my problem you do it on the home screen
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Have you tried the wifi adb? those apps work pretty well and no need for a USB cable or drivers. You just need root.
[Epic 4G General] num1rbffan:
yea it is weird it worked then I rooted my coworkers EVO and had to do some weird driver changes to do and I have uninstalled and reinstalled all my drivers and still wont work. But i will try the wifi adb and see if that works
[Epic 4G General] num1rbffan:
i tried it on the WiFi adb and it still says offline
[Epic 4G General] stever5:
Buy a new usb cable of all else fails. I thought it was a joke when my cable works fine for multiple htc devices but I had about a dozen cables around so tried.. found a couple cables that showed offline randomly, usually after a few k of data.

Figured it out I went to the big boss rom and didn't have mms so I went back to my stock restore point when I reflashed back to the big boss rom it now works. Weird but it works and that is all that matters
[Epic 4G General] R1pTheJacka:
had the same error as you, fixed it later, the stupid reason?

phone was set to disk drive instead of charge only

if this isnt the issue i dont know what it could be
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phazzdaddy:
Keep getting this message :[

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
After you installed Kies did it say that Kies had an update and proceed to update itself before updating the phone software???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurricanes52:
what is the ''kies'' you guys speak of?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Kies is a software tool from Samsung for working with your phone. It is not released to the US market yet but you can download it for another country.

So here's my bootanimation I created. I've never really done one before, nor do I have much 'photoshop' experience either, so go easy on me! I truly have mucho respect for those that excel and are efficient with these programs.

I had some strange issues creating a transparent background for the red and blue version, so they have a full screen black background. Also, by not having transparency, I can save in jpeg format which is *MUCH* smaller, and noticeably snappier. (UOT who has this converted it to png)

Here it is in the OG green :D, but it has a white backgound and doesn't fill the screen...It's black on top and bottom, similar to a letterbox look.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Flashable zips for recovery

(will be placed in /data/local/)

Red version

Blue version

And the OG green :D

OG-bootanimation.zip

Hope you all like it!!!

A fellow enthusiast has customized this a little bit for MIUI, adding "MIUI France" logo at the bottom. Please see this post for more info.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daveid:
That is pretty nice, any chance of a blue version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Haha..that's tight.good job you should do one of enoms devil characters doing something.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
Looks good, but since it's so long, it runs slowly the entire boot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
With my feeble photoshopping skills, I'm afraid not any time soon. It took quite a long time to get this one to look half way decent, and now I'm behind on other work (gotta get caught up on my statics homework, lol :p)

Well, I wish I were able to. When contacting the creator, I learned that the character was built, rigged, textured, lit and comped by a team of people. I doubt I could create anything nearly as good from scratch. Those that can have my sincere admiration.

At least I got it red, though :D

Hmm, it runs almost perfect on mine. For a 'normal' boot cycle (after the rom has been loaded, and dalvik all set up), it runs for one complete cycle slower, then on the subsequent cycles it speeds up. It's 112 frames long, which is certainly within a normal range for a boot animation. Just turned my phone off/on and it ran through a good 4 cycles.

Now if I stop the core to push a file into the system partition, it gets chopped when I start core again, but that's different.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikra44:
Nice one, fits perfect for flavoured ice dark cherry theme on Enoms rom ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khanh1289:
I would love it if the robot is a bit more shiny and green :) original android :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yayramen:
I can run a simple batch file to recolor it if you'd like. It takes literally less than a minute for me to recolor this. I can make a new one if you'd like. For example, I made a blue one with a diffused glow for effect:

(Sorry, can't make an animated gif)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I like the green, too! Here's the first version I did that's in the original colors, and with a white background. **The white background does not cover the entire screen, there are black bars above and below**

And in a recovery flash file:

OG-bootanimation.zip

I've changed the folder placement to /data/local/, as after reviewing AOSP, it looks like it checks there first anyway, so unless your bootanimation command has been altered. I'll update the Red version here shortly as well.

You're right it is easy to do a simple hue change. However, where I ran into difficulties was in the black background. For some reason, I had trouble introducing strange artifacts that only showed on the phone, not in the individual images. Here's a highly compressed/downsized example put into a gif:

But when I put it on the phone, it looks like this:

Had similar problems with the red version. I think it has something to do with how I changed the background, as I never really had too many problems with the original version. But since you got me started on it, I'll try to get it finished :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scgolfer7:
Nice Work! looks good fellow Tulsan!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madj42:
I really like this. Keep up the good work. Would be awesome to have the green version in a black background.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Oh wow, hey wassup? Nice to know there's another xda'er here.

Thanks. The green is my personal fav, too..I think it shows his texture, and 3D like qualities better.

Ideally I'd rather have a transparent background, which I would think would show as black. But having him on a transparency like that would make it easier to do other things later. I just haven't learned my way around the image editing stuff very well...but I'm learning.

I've got a couple other sections of video I *think* I might be able to isolate with some work. Some of this stuff if pretty tedious though (for me anyway). That android guy I put in for an avatar earlier... I had to reconstruct the right 1/3 of his head as it was covered by something else on the screen. And as long as I spent on it, I'm still not near as good as what the original creators did.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khanh1289:
i just pushed the green version with white bg, it woulda been fine but then now the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of screen is black and the mid part is white :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Oops, my bad...I guess I didn't really explain that. Yes, that's the correct display. The area of video that the base work was lifted from was a 16:9 aspect ratio, and our phones are like a 9:15 aspect ratio the other way. As that was my initial piece, I was more concerned with getting the animation smooth sized right. But after seeing it on the phone, I actually kinda like it the way it is.

I'll update the op so that folks are aware ahead of time. Work is planned for the green guy for sure...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khanh1289:
and when everything smooth out you should add strobe lights for the robot to dance to :D or music notes... something in the background.. idk.. lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _PeTiT_:
:(

am I the only one having issues installing this bootani?

I tried with AmonRa (1.8.0.1) with error "no installation script" or something like this.

Then I copied the bootanimation.zip file directly into /data/local

both 2 methods didnt work for me... :(

help me please...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. What rom are you running? I know one of the desire ports is putting it in /system/customize/ or something similar..can't remember.

Try pushing the file to your /system/media/ folder and see if that works...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Ths is really cool!

Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
hell yeah some rave lights would be a nice addition lol

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bboy_201:
o yes!

it's working now!!!!!!:D

Htc evo?

Will this work for htc evo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Never messed with any other android phone besides my N1. That being said I'd think it would work. The resolutions are the same. You just need to double check where its supposed to go. The first downloads will put it in data/local. If you need it somewhere else, pick the last download
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] medi88:
Hi,

When i tried to flash the zip file, the recovery froze on me. i haven't tried to reboot the phone yet.

i was wondering if anybody had the same problem.

btw, am running cm 6.0 on nexus one
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bboy_201:
not working for me!

the 1st download didn't work in /data/local and reboot is was a black screen

the 3rd download i out in system/customize/resource and i just heard the boot sound

i also tried the 3rd download in system/media and in /data/local and a black screen with no audio
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
amazing!

Can't wait to flash this!

I've never flashed a boot animation before, is it just like flashing any other update.zip or does it need to be pushed?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
Does this work on CM 6.1 RC2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Back from the dead!!

Lol. I've actually seen this showing up in some customized versions for other roms, which is cool. (wish they'd mention me in the credits tho, :()

One thing to note, didn't realize this until fairly recently, but the UOT does offer the OG green version. But they made the whole screen white. It looks ok I think (I even tried doing the same to mine), but they changed it to a png file format and made it over 5 times as big!! I really should contact them about that I suppose....I have some other things I'd like to mention to them anyway.

Anyway, it should work just fine for any cyanogen. Let me know if you have any problems :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Omiclops:
Mate I just get a black screen then it boots up... I put it on SD card and did 'install zip from sd card' it still booots up but I have a blackscreen then it does. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT - I did the green one and renamed it bootanimation.zip , I don't know if that makes a difference but it worked :) I don't like how there's the black bars and white background though :( might try the red one and rename it see if that works.

EDIT 2- Okay renaming is uneccessary it's just that red one just doesn't work on the latest CM :/ or maybe it's not signed... I have no idea but I know it doesn't work properly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks for the report. Try the red one now. Just flash in recovery. Sorry about that.

either scan or click code-**Rom Manager has the option to install rom via qr code works great!

I guess I'm in the minority on the green android with white background. After playing with a couple different options, I found that I preferred it with the black bars on top and bottom. Maybe i just never found the right background for it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] marvinhemstock:
hi would really like this but i am on sgs 2.2.1 rom from docs, would this work ok as 2.2.1 boots very fast, i will keep an eye on this thread thanks in advance\

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sparksco:
Do you mind if I port these over for the DS devices? I will give you credit for them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No, I don't mind at all. It's truly a compliment to be asked, thanks.

And thanks for the courtesy too, it is appreciated. This very boot-animation has been found on another rom that did NOT give any credit, let alone asked.

ps, I'm sorry I'm drawing a blank here...what are DS devices?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] l0uisz:
haha this is AWESOME!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] alisabki:
i flash it but nothing happen.

on MIUI-AU ROM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JOMOID:
This is not working for me; When I try to flash it it says all this stuff about clockwork recovery. and then says Installation Aborted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry about that guys, I hadn't updated these with Edify scripts yet, so yeah the new clockwork wouldn't work with them. They are all fixed with Edify style updater-scripts so the zips should work now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] duryard:
Am I the only one who can not see the green one??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry about that. Have no idea what happened to my gif I made, lol. So I just made another one. I don't know what it is about chrome and safari, but those 2 browsers really lag in showing those animated gif's. FF and Opera, no problems.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kornolio80:
Hi, same here... but I'm using MIUI-QND 1.7.8V2, maybe it's just a "location" problem... not sure, though.

I wish I could have this bootanimation on my phone... it's really great!

bye! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
This is about all I care to do right now since I'm not around my computer, but here's the OG-green version in a MIUI theme file(created the mtz on my phone :D). I would've done the black background version but for some reason it's got a strange yellow line showing up on my screen...could be something weird happening on my phone. I'll check it out when I get back in a day or so.

Copy the attached file to your phone in this directory: /sdcard/MIUI/theme/

Then, go to your theme manager and select Edit Theme Settings. The first option should be for boot animation, and if you put the file in the right place, you should see it as an option. Select it and you're done!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtprince94:
how can i flash this to my epic 4g, i tried everything and nothing works
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Inside the zip files, you'll find a file named "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes). Take the bootanimation.zip file and using a root explorer app copy it to /system/media folder. Or you could copy it to /data/local folder as well. Copying to /data/local will keep the bootanimation if you get an update for your rom. It will still be replaced though if you either switch roms, or wipe data.

ooh! was looking for something like this!!
