[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Yes, that's what I did. Good call btw! I wrote the guide in a hurry just before heading to work and knew I would miss something. :D

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] srivers33:
u could use root explorer to place the gfree file in data local couldn't u?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Yes you could use root explorer. I am going to revise this as soon as I get time. I'm at work right now.

As for the optional steps, you wouldn't need to do them if you already followed the other permroot guides successfully b/c you should alread have hboot 0.85.2007 installed.

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrpanic7:
so is the 0.85.2007 is the one we want to be on?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Good to go. You have the engineering hboot.

Should work from either one as long as you have some kind of root access.

But ... Keep that one. :D

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrpanic7:
sweet thanks, and the whole talk about subsidy unlock and flashing other device roms, is that part of the hboot im running, or the gfree file ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
@mrpanic7, no its part of the gfree patch.

@topgun303, what kernel version are you running? Stock?

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrpanic7:
sweet thanks will test tonight and comment when everything is done! how do we know if hte gfile goes thru successfully? since im already permarooted
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
Kernal version: I have not flashed anything other kernal yet. This is what came with my phone.

Hey grankin01 I dont have adb steup, can you provide workaround for that. Meaning without adb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] srivers33:
Awesome man. Great job. Just to be clear. After unzipping the file, all of them need to go in the data/local folder yes?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
So we can use root explorer to oaste the file, then the termunal steps?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
You should be able to use root explorer and yes put all files in /data/local including the hboot_dhd.nb0 file if you are going to do the optional steps.

Edit: Added mention of root explorer method between steps 4 and 5.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
hey grankin01 my phone is on engineer bootloader right now. what are the advantages of engineer bootloader vs bootloader version 0.86.0000?

Also if i flash bootloader version 0.86.0000, can i go back to engineer bootloader.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wadie:
u r the maaan

after trying everything i got s=off thanx to you...but 1 lil isue the root did not stick for me after checking hboot to see if i got s=off
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
Eng hboot will let you flash anything you want. Stock hboot will still limit your choices.

Yes you can just do the optional steps from the OP to go back to eng hboot. Actually having stock hboot will let you see if it worked without having to do anything special. :)

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grankin01:
So this did work w/stock device and kernel?

Try running visionary r14 and doing permroot option. Being a stock rom you may still have to fiddle with it a little. Not quite an exact science. :D

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] topgun303:
So the bootloader version 0.86.0000 provides simunlock correct? If i read correct from the first page of op. For now i think i will stay on engineer hbootloader.

Also one more thing op, I found a great video on how to setup adb. I have already got my adb setup using this. If u like you can post it in the op section. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctkatz:
i want to update my vibrant. i'm a patient guy and i can wait for samsung and/or t-mobile to come out with the official release but some of these mods intrigue me. there are some variants i like. i note most don't have touchwiz.

that's a problem. i actually LIKE touchwiz. i have tried other launchers and i find myself going back to touchwiz. i'm not really into those other launchers. so here's my question- i can follow directions and install a 2.2 mod upgrade from 2.1 ji6 without an issue. how can i extract touchwiz so that i can install it after i install 2.2? and as a bonus, are there any 2.2 mods which still have touchwiz as a part of the pack?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
There are several versions of 2.2 that include TouchWiz. Pretty much any of the "stock" ROMs will have it. Several of the previous Axura versions include it and both Eugene and Team Whiskey have ROMs that remain mostly TouchWiz.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You can use ODIN to flash a stock 2.2 that has root enabled... its the ALT METHOD in my noob guide.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ilaf0106:
Pretty much what I'm asking is there a way to get customized ringtones in a text to talk format?

Like I text "you got mail" play it back save it as ringtones or set as! I would love that. . Do u know if this is out already or something and something like sombionix girls voice they have in their roms.. Thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
I'm not sure if linda or millie are available lol I dont know maybe go to the market and try robot voice or google it

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kusotare:
market probably wouldnt work well. best bet is to google for things like that if you have specifics (like you've got mail or whatnot). but if you want customized ringtones (like "jeff is calling" or something) then your best bet is to record it yourself on a computer using a free voice synth program (theres about a thousand out there that will do anything from a fairy princess to darth vader) and then push it to your phone with adb.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Or maybe zedge

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ilaf0106:
Koo thanks!!!
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Dunno how long it's been out for, just giving us non-senseUI (the only real way to use a Hero :p) users a heads up that it's available.

Edit: oh yea, and for the sense users that don't check often..

If you update and it gives you ****ty (my bad), worse service or whatever go HERE and look at either the OP or the 2nd post for links to download older PRL versions.
[Hero CDMA General] aqualls:
Must be relatively new. Wiped back to factory and rerooted on Wednesday. Did all the updates 3 times to be sure and mine is still at 60671.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
did you really "reroot", cuz going to a sense rom should not cause root loss :confused: i keep a nand of sense (nfx's rom) and just restore it, update, fastboot to recovery, restore CM and I'm good to go...

to the OP: have you noticed "****tier service"? or any difference really, usually prl does nothing noticable for me.... let me know
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Service in my calc class went from 105db(basically none) - 100db. otherwise it's all relatively the same. Maybe 5db more in spots.. but nothing worse nor a drastic increase :)
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
thanks for that, no need to do the 20 minute process for me then :)
[Hero CDMA General] urwrstfear:
The comment about nonsense being theonly way to use ahero isn't true anymore. The new Sprint ruu that nfx modded is better than aosop. Cm and all the rest. I've tried them all. Runs faster.no fc. Better batterylife. And has all the sense goodies. No lag at all.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Mine runs plenty fast, no lag, no fc's ever. I'm running a custom compiled CM6.1 rom. Battery lasts longer than I need. More internal space as compared to sense for installing apps. LauncherPro's widgets look nicer and run smoother imo, I can set it to have only 2 homescreens without the extra bulk UI on the phone. Native a2sd. Slicker stock keyboard.

CM addons/settings are a plus too. Notification power control widget, lockscreen controls, UI color edits, etc.

umad?

:p

But to be serious and all that; I'm partial to aosp mainly because I can compile it relatively easily and the android SDK is aosp. So it's practically all I've used for the past 8 (i think) months.

As you said - it's not particularly true anymore since there are senseUI roms that run extremely smooth and quick. It usually comes down to what exactly a person is looking for in a rom. :)
[Hero CDMA General] urwrstfear:
I still use lp over sense with the new ruu. But I ran cm and aosop for about a year. And I never went more than an hour without some kind of problem. That's why I was so happy that the new Sprint ruu runs so great. It even has aps2sd. And launcherpro adds some extras that you get from froyo. I honestly can't tell the difference. Not to mention my iheartradio would not work on cm or aosop. I'm so happy to have rovers morning glory back. I'm not mad. Lol. Just letting you know that there is a better Rom out there for heros than the cm6.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppeccin:
Can someone give me a simple answer?

I'm getting a little confused with all those releases, all with codes starting with JP, AFAIK they are beta, not official release codes.

What happened to all that fuss about the official release date, mid November, etc?

We are in December already.

Thanks,

Paulo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
The JP versions are official. Why do you think they are not?

Depending on your product code, they have been available via KIES for some time now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sog-1986:
Depends on the region, I'm living in India & I have got an official update via kies. If it shows up on kies than its official dude....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticiano:
If this Froyo versions we're getting from Kies are the final versions than this is a big shame for Samsung. This ROMs just sucks and they are laggy as hell. The Samsung dev guys should come to XDA foruns and learn about Galaxy S ROMs... What a waste of a good piece of hardware... Shame on you Samsung!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
Had to update my Kies to get the Froyo update! Legit 2.2, Optus Australia.
[HD2 General] hugojungle:
First off:

I own an HD2 with original HTC StockROM 3,14.

additionally I have installe Manila Birthday.

The device is synced with 2 PCs.

1) the birthdays from the (Outlook-)contacts are transferred automatically to the calender as "complete day" appointments.

2) with Manila Birthday you can also transfer the birthdays into the calender

Problem:

At first I have removed all of the original entries from the calender (see #1)Then I got all birthdays transferred by Manila Birthday.

But, whatever I do -- after a few sync cycles the originial entries reappear. This means I have now 2 entries for each birthday in the calender.

=> it's a nuisance, but not critical.

The difficulties start on travels. I am regularly on business trips to UK (1 h time shift). Now all the 1 day Birthday entries become 2 day events. (grrrr...).

When I return from the travel, this does not swith back (still two day events) (grrr no. 2.) But really irritating is, that also the data in the contact become manipulated. Meaning: all birthdays are either a day earlier or later. But NEVER correct. If you call then the jubilee - well you are always on the wrong day (and you look really stupid...).

Question:

1) is it possible (with ManilaBirthday or the HTC calender or the contacts) to set it up in that way, that the original entries to the calender are no longer made?

2) How can I manage that the Birthdays in the contacts are not manipulated during travels?

3) since I didn't find anything about this points... am I really the only one who experienced this problem????

Hugo the JungleDyret
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I've noticed this as well. I'm using EnergyROM and everytime I update and then sync with outlook, I get 2 entries for each birthday. If I don't delete them from outlook before a new sync, they can start to build up. No idea how to stop this though apart from only sync either your contacts or calendar.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
known issue with outlook happens on other platforms as well
[HD2 General] 4tune:
I've got another situation, but it adds up to the same problem.

1. Original registration of birthdays is done in Outlook.

2. Synced in WinMo using activesync.

3. Synced WinMo with g-mail account.

4. Booted into Android, synced agenda and contacts with g-mail.

5. Changed Android build and synced that with g-mail.

By now every birthday is shown twice, some are quadrupled. :p

Don't really know how to solve this.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
was playing around a bit with the build-in dell boot screen. since i want my own i tried figuring out how.

in system/media there is a file called bootanimation.zip

i tried many different pictures and such and all i get is a black screen.

no idea what is the problem. i altered the text file on the phone itself. did this on windows but it seems that additional characters are added.

in the end i found out that 72dpi 24bit 480 800 16 color files should do.

but over and over again i get black screen. in the end i tried a bootanimation.zip from a friends G1 that runs this droid x r2d1 theme. and guess what.. it works ??

attached it down here.

anyone got any idea what can be the problem with this bootscreens ?

as soon as i change the zip file it wont work anymore but if i leave it as it is it works fine, allthough it has different screensize and such.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cue_32:
use 7zip... set it to STORE and no compression. Make sure you dont have any thumb files in there after and retry
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
template for bootanimation.zip

was using winrar for it. on normal compression. im gonna try what u suggest :)

edit : that worked :) used winrar and set it to STORE instead of NORMAL compression.

it seems the bootanimation.zip should be in /Data/Local/ as Android operating system looks here first and then when it doesn't find it there it looks in /System/Media/

it doesnt have any problem with different bootanimation.zip in both dirs, it just loads the one in /Data/Local/ first.

use this template zip i made for your own creations :)

desc.txt file :

480 800 16

-> size of screen 480x800 and FPS that the stuff should play @

p 1 0 part0

-> p is for part dir. this lets android know which dir to use first to show the pictures. the first number 1 is 0 or 1 repeat on/off. the second is pauze time. part0 is foldername where pics are to be found.

p 0 0 part1

-> p is for part dir. this lets android know which dir to use next to show the pictures. the first number 1 is 0 or 1 repeat on/off. the second is pauze time.part 1 is foldername where the pics are to be found.

If pause = 10, it will show the last frame and then it will sleep 10/fps seconds before continuing with the animation.

you can add as many pictures as you like as long as they follow up in numbers . i.e. yourname_0001.png yourname_0002.png yourname_0005.png yourname_0025.png .. and so on. as long as the files have increased numbers its fine.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
awesome, thanks!

now we cant start debranding this thing
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
any idea about boot sound?

I thought I saw bootanim.raw

and part1.raw

and part0.raw

in root explorer

any ideas?

I managed to change it, but I am unable to change the first dell logo splash screen that pops up.... grrr...

can we change the splash screen yet?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
droidpiss v1 bootanimation

I made my first conversion of a bootanimation i found somewhere on a forum :)

it is called : droidpiss v1

shows my appreciation for apple :D

installcode for adb :

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
splashscreen is in loader in the firmware/bios

i found somewhere where to put the audiofiles..

/system/customize/resources/
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
I have /system/customization..inside there is an MMs and a Wallpaper folder

no /system/customize/resources.

should I create it, what should the bootsound be named bootsound.mp3? or .ogg?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] bigfoots1:
ya know whats weird, is i bought an at&t version from bestbuy and i have yet to see any sort of branding at all aside from the network block...

nothing. no logo on the phone or boot screen or menus etc..

i entered an unlock code already and as best i can tell its the same as the unlocked dell version other than i can taked it back to best buy for 30 days and get a new streak as opposed to sending it back in for a refurb which is what you get straight through dell.

of course after 30 day thats what i have to do as well..send it back in for a refurb...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
i dont see the bootsound service in init.rc so i presume there isnt going to be audio until there is a script playing it.

in the desc.txt add these line

s bootsound.ogg

and add a bootsound.ogg in data/local

put the bootanimation.zip also there and delete all other instances of the file.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrisrotolo:
didn't work for me, added line at end of desc.txt, and bootsound.ogg in /data/local and removed any other my backupanimation.zip from the /local folder..

nothing...

I would just be satisfied to get the first splash screen changed without too much trouble.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
yu, it requires a service to play the audio file, which isnt there. so it wont play any sound. maybe someone with some android knowledge can implent it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pandabanana:
It started happening a few days ago, when I connect to msn through ebuddy I can connect but my contact list doesn't load. Tried reinstalling as well as other I'm clients it did'nt work. It works ok on my pc though. Does anyone have the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] astarrk:
Hi, I'm looking to see if there's a way to change the bootanimation on my T-Mobile G2 WITHOUT ROOT. I rooted my nexus one, and ended up with all sorts of problems, and i dont want to go there again. i was wondering if there was a way to change the file without root. (using adb, maybe?) thx.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] merkwa:
I dont see this being possible with out perm root bc your rewriting the bootanimation with ur custom boot animination which you need root access to the fone
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ZeroSX:
adb push replacement-bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

restart.

If it doesn't work it's because /system/media/bootanimation.zip takes priority over /data/local which means no changes without root.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bunu:
yeah, you gotta push to /data/local/ a bootanimation.zip that you like.

I'm guessing you messed up on a step when rooting your N1. The only problem with rooting I got was when I forgot to flash GAPPS and the phone wouldn't boot
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Rohit99:
you cannot push the bootanimation.zip to /data/local , bcoz Google revoked the access to /data/local in Android 4.0 and above
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] demkantor:
And being this thread was from over 4 years ago my guess is that it was for a froyo ROM....

Either way what's an android without root...

I do not have a PC Reader, so I can not install Kernal 8.5.1, is there build with at least 8.5 built into it? Every build I have tried so far, drains the battery really fast, even when I just text all day. I heard that the build's with sense drain the battery, but I can not find a Froyo build without Sense UI, can anyone help? I wish I could install this Kernel without having a PC Reader
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] robkoehler:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gv2004:
That is not very specific. I have Hastarin Kernel 8.5.1 on my Desktop right now, but how do I install that kernel onto my phone, also are there any builds with 8.5.1 already built in? Please give step by step instructions, I have my phone plugged in via usb, but I do not know how to go about installing the Kernel.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Don't you think you should be asking this question in the thread were you got the kernel from? Instead if opening up a new one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Give him a break, it's the Q&A section after all.

@TS: boot into WinMo, and just transfer the kernel files to your SD card with the usb cable. More info on which files should be moved where, check the first post of hastarin's thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gv2004:
Thank you Stephan. I found a Build desire HD2, by Cedesmith, it seems the build already has Kernel 8.5.1 built in it, I could be wrong, please verify that, because I would install that build and just be fine with it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Just read whats in cedesmith's thread, I'm really not gonna check that for you. Most people here are glad to assist but you're gonna have to learn to figure some things out for yourself.
