[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I think they removed the automatic option for some reason, I beleive it was in version v.3 and now v.2 is back up. I was looking for that option for someone else early yesterday and noticed its not on the Wiki anymore, unless I missed it, but Im prettty sure I didn't. So I think were back to using the "dd if=/sdcard/partition7-relock.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" command.

Update: On fattire's thread they said they took down v3 because people were having problems with it and are now advising using v2 and the old restore method.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niiceg:
Where to get that file if i already formated the card?!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
There is no where to get the file if you erased/formatted your sdcard without saving it somewhere else, the instructons on gfree tell you to do this:

"gfree created a backup of your original partition 7 at /sdcard/part7backup-<time>.bin you might consider copying this to a safe location on your computer."

So if you didnt do this I really dont know what you can do. I have my part7backup but I dont know if its specific to my device or if anyone can use it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niiceg:
Well, What device you have? Z or G2? I think that it's not specific, because all phones are the same ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Look at http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF

Scroll down to the bit that shows you the usage message for gfree and check out the "-s" option ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The latest gfree 0.03 had problems, yes, so they went back to 0.02 in the Wiki. But as my previous post shows, you can still un-do things with gfree 0.02.

The only reason to use the backup of partition 7 that I can think of is if you don't know what your original CID was to reset to, or if you want to SIM Lock your phone again (there doesn't seem to be an undo option for the SIM Unlock).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Ok, I see the option for sec-flag on/off but does that also restore the sim lock?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
No it doesn't as far as I know, but that's why I said restoring SIM lock was the only real use for that part7 backup that I could think of.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I wasn't sure myself, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niiceg:
Okey, can you tell how to do everything? Because I don't know anything with that gfree... And there is no instruction... Please, help me get the S-On
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I have PM'd the author of gfree about an option for SIM re-lock, because that would be useful. I guess you will still need some sort of carrier string which it needs re-locking to though ? Would be handy if perhaps gfree told you what that was before you unlocked it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bildo:
Im in the same boat as niiceg, I cannot find my backup and have had no luck in my searchs. Any Idea's what I can do from here?

Thanks in advance..

ps I'm guess my next step is to re root and do

su

cd /data/local

chmod 777 gfree

./gfree -s on

sync

???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, you just need to run "gfree -s on" as root to go from radio S-OFF to S-ON, no need to find/restore that backup.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salbanys:
can someone help me out, if i open a downloaded rom on my desktop with winrar, click on "system" then on "app" scroll down to the mms.apk, can i remove that file and add a different mms.apk. When i do this will the mms.apk i placed in the folder be what gets flashed to my phone. I am currently using auxora 2.2 and its a great rom i tried eugenes gingerbread clone and i am at a loss becuase i am very partial to the stock vibrant mms app so if i could add the mms app that i downloaded to his rom and remove whats currently there.

any feedback is appreciated

thanks!

"salbanys" on twitter!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick Chase:
i asked this question last week here and the short answer is yes.

although its worked a couple times for me with different roms,i've been trying it on axura 2.2 (removing lots of apps i dont use) and now when i go to flash it, recovery says it can not open sd/axura22ve (bad). so i guess its yes and no.

if anyone has any hints on why it wont flash after editing, pleaase help. i delete all apk's in data/app and some stuff in system/app.

edit: i also move launcherpro.apk out of data/app and move it to system/app and delete launcher2.apk, is that doable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salbanys:
Thank you for the reply I was trying to pull the mms file from auxora and. Add it to eugenes gb clone but when. I removed eugenes mms apk and added the auxora mms apk it wouldn't allow some failure in the zip file so I've been searching for a good post on using root explorer found one and followed but still no luck so if anyone reads this any help would be appreciated

[Captivate General] ronandi:
Anyone else get 50% time without signal in Cell Standby under Battery use? I've always had reception and no problems. Cell standby sits at 10% and I've had no battery problems. Im guessing this 50% is garbage, since the time its been unplugged is wrong. 50% of the time is wrong, and 50% of the time without signal is wrong I guess... would this be safe to assume?
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:
I have this problem every time I reboot the phone. It's resolved by putting the phone in airplane mode and then turning off airplane mode. I usually notice my battery life is worse when this happens.

Usually the time unplugged for me is double what it's supposed to be when time without signal is 50%.
[Captivate General] ronandi:
So its just inaccurate right? Its not actually losing signal 50% of the time right?
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Right. Happened to me a couple times when on some custom ROMs. Rebooting generally resolves this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Johny_G:
I am developing simple widget with some music controls on it. I was able to control both Android and HTC music services using bindService(), .Stub.asInterface() and 2 separate IMediaPlaybackService.aidl files (for both packages accordingly). However, I have not succeeded in searching for the .aidl file for Samsung player. It is my understanding that it should be somethig like ICorePlayerService.aidl using ICorePlayerService interface. Since I have not found any, I tried to create my own using the same function names that Android and HTC use; however, it did not work.

Have you any idea how to control Samsung music player from own app? Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Yes, the name of the site says: xda-developers and yes its an Android Development section, but I guess there arent many people here knowing Android API.. I know a little, but not to that much extent, especially when it comes to proprietary software.

Consider this a shameless bump!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Pure music widget author already did it, so I guess its possible (though he said before that its not).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Johny_G:
He did, but I guess I cannot actually ask developer, how to code features of his paid application :-)).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Case_:

Well, it has been a long time, and still no reply from the dev :-(. Is there anybody who figured it out?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
I went on the search for a boot animation and came across the Android BIOS versions available on the web. The only problem was the pictures weren't full screen, they were all for other devices and they were always in portait.

So, I decided to make my own. It is made specifically for the G-Tablet. All the text is correct for the unit. The screen size is correct and it is landscape.

Install:

copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ and restart tab.

Please click the "Thanks" button if you like this. Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Bad@ssGtab:
Nice touches...

This also works pretty cool......

Now if I could get the RED EYE Live Wallpaper to work....

I tried to copy the droid animation to /system/media/ but I get a copy failed message. Is there something special I need to do to paste into this folder?

Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FateZero:
@rayden25 very nice, I had one like this on my G1 and X10 and have been to lazy to do it on my G-tablet. SO I will use the one you made, great work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Bellz:
Ah, I figured it out after a bit of hunting. Seems that mine was located under /logodata/. It works now. It shows the Droid name, melts, and shows the Droid Red Eye.

Do some tablets put their system files in odd locations?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
That is the Droid Red Eye, not the one I did. The one I did is in the first post.

It works in either directory. You need to switch the /system/media/ directory to read/write from read only.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] acuralegendz:
Thank you, I liked this boot on my dinc and just loaded thesame one on my gtab, I'm glad we now have one customized for our slate, thanks again
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] WickedStyx:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] felizf:
U using adb? If not gotta use root manager mount the filesystem read/write instead of read only. I had the same issue.

BTW, in the screenshots, you spelled slave wrong on screen #2 (though it doesn't detract from the awesomeness)...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
Oh man... I can't believe I did that! That's in the animation too! LOL! I'll get around to fixing it one of these days.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] original G:
Thanks guys! Both files are awesome. Placed them in logdata and all is good! Now it feels like an android device.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ksporry:
I installed it too and it look awesome!

However, I do have a question: Each time I (re)start my gTab, it first pops up with that ugly white screen with those viewsonic birds. This is the image I would preferably remove and replace with something fancier. Any idea how I do that?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
There are two threads here in this section on how to do that. Both titles start with [Guide]. They should be on the first page.

Dancing Droid bootani

Has anyone tried the bootani from:

"http://droidpirate.com/category/tablets/viewsonic-gtablet/" , the one with "dancing" Droid? I tried it follwing their directions with RootExplorer and my Tab would not boot past the animation, which btw was very laggy! :(

Had to restore /system in CWM to get it to boot back up.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] linesma:
Well, I tried to apply it, but I could not do it. I know I need to change the file permissions, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it. I brought up a terminal window, and went to super user mode. Navigated to where the file was located, and typed: chmod 777 (the file name). None of the permissions changed. I heard about using adb, but I do not know how to access it, and where it is.

I apologize for the stupid question. If I missed how to do this in another thread, then please direct me there. I searched for it, but I was unable to find one.

Thanks for your time,

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
If all you are trying to do is change permissions of a file, the easist way is to use root explorer, and long press on the file, and choose permissions from the menu.

However to be honest I have been unable to change my bootanimation file without using adb to push the file to the tablet.

adb is in the android SDK download it from androiddevelopers, it includes all the tools require to get into the guts of the OS, including DDMS to do screen prints etc.

If you want to just use the sdk and not do any development download the zip as the exe will complain about the JDK requirements, etc, and does not work well in 64bit windows.

There is a thread on how to setup ADB once you have the sdk on your machine.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] linesma:
Thank you for the information. Please excuse my ignorance, but where is root explorer? I will also check out the thread on ADB.

Thanks again and sorry for all the questions.

I have tried downloading root explorer, but I get a FC every time I try. What do I need to do?

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
root explorer is a file manager that allows users to edit files. It is available in the market, If you are getting into the guts of how android does what it does, it is an invaluable tool, it is however not free.

If you use adb to push the file you can avoid using root explorer.

Hello. This looks great and would love to use it but I must be missing something. When I replace the bootaniamtion.zip (currently working) with this one, all I get is the word android and it boots.

Boot eye animation

Thanks for the boot animation.

The first one is working fine.

When I copied the eye boot animation to logodata, I rebooted nothing happens. What am I missing gentlemen?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mantara:
here is another boot animation

This is the dancing droid boot anim.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...and replace it with a super sweet XDA logo :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] w3ili:
Thanks OP! Worked perfectly on VEGAn 5.1.1.

These were the steps I used to change the boot animation:

1. Downloaded and copied bootanimation.zip to SD card.

2. Purchased Root Explorer from Market.

3. From Root Explorer, long pressed the bootanimation.zip, selected Permissions, and checked the Read and Write boxes for the User row.

4. Navigated to root folder, pressed the "Mount R/W" button at the top.

5. Moved the bootanimation.zip file from SD card to the /system/media folder, which for me had only an "audio" folder.

6. Now you should see two items in your /system/media folder, one is the "audio" folder previously mentioned, and the other is the bootanimation.zip file.

7. Reboot and enjoy!

[Captivate General] micjenks:
I apologize for starting a new thread for this but I'm dying here! I have been reading all the bricked captivate tales of woe for 2 days straight and I have tried all the button combinations till my fingers feel like they are going to bleed. If somebody can help me with this mess I would gladly donate to the beer fund for their trouble.

This is my second go round with paperweight style captivate but I'm lost now. The first time I was visited by the phone-!-computer image but I had no problem getting it into download mode by removing battery,sim, and external sd then replacing battery holding down both volume buttons down (no power button) and inserting usb cable(odin one click was already running on my pc). I flashed back to stock twice with this method and no issues. The first time was to load cognition and the second time was after messing with some mods my phone started lagging horribly bad.

I guess I got a little cocky this last go round and was messing around with ninja morph(no issues there) then I loaded a market app called Galaxy S Tweaker. I made a few tweaks with the app and went to reboot, subsequently my phone will now get stuck on the white ATT boot screen.

As previously stated I have tried all variations of button combinations to no avail. The only 2 screens I see are the battery charging screen and this dreadful white AT&T screen.

Is there anything I can do to get my computer to recognize my phone and/or get into download mode.

Please and Thank You!!

I have tried several times I just end up going back and forth between the white screen with AT&T logo and the battery charging screen

What you did originally should work again, keep trying, if you had usb debugging enabled try the adb reboot download method. What error is adb giving you anyway?

uninstall the sdk completely. Reinstall it into a folder and do not move anything out of the folder. I keep mine in C:/Users\[user name]\sdk.
[Captivate General] unlistedhero:
Hey there, im pretty new to Android myself and had a very similar issue :S

It seems like you have lost your three button combo, which was exactly what happened to my poor Captivate, the "USB jig" was the only method I found that could put my phone in to download mode, if you search the forums there is a pretty decent walk through on how to do it!

Basically, as long as you have some skill with a soldering iron and a micro USB cable to cut up you can do it pretty quickly. I bought the resistors from a local computer store (you need 301k resistance) and used a scalpel to cut the plastic from the end of the cable, then soldered the resistors to the 4th and 5th pins in series. Once you have done that, plug the cable in to your computer and fire up Odin, the connect your Cappy and presto, download mode!

Honestly when I saw the instructions to build the jig I was skeptical, but since I exhausted every other option first (and had already voided my warranty obviously) I decided to give it a shot and it worked like a charm!

Give it a try and let us know how it goes! :)
[Captivate General] micjenks:
should I remove it from the environmental variables path first and then replace it? do I need to remove it from eclipse as well before I reinstall it?

ADB keeps telling me device not found
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Try a different usb port, preferably ones at the back of the motherboard.
[Captivate General] micjenks:
I have done that, initially I had to move to the back to get it to work with odin

Edit: Can anyone link me to the solder jig how to? I found the solder-less i-go thread but wanted to look at both before I head off to radio shack and potentially the liquor store depending on how this goes..... going back to my BlackBerry sounds about as appetizing as a warm bath and razor blades. I've had my Captivate for 2 weeks and I'm already spoiled on Android goodness
[Captivate General] unlistedhero:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872476

This is the solder-less method, however the only difference is that in the above thread, he didn't use solder to connect the resistors, it should work exactly the same! Otherwise you can simply solder the resistors in series to the exact same spots and you are good to go :)
[Captivate General] micjenks:
