Ive got a bootable backtrack cd, would that suffice? I run VM but not sure how to transfer the files once done in vm to my win7 desktop?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] megabyte2365:
Whoa, this stuff is deep. I am happy just figuring out today how to change the boot animation....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
Yeah it's too bad that the knowledgeable ones quit supporting this thread. This is one of the specialized tweeks that's a bit more in depth. I wonder why this hasn't been made a sticky?

I asked a couple of my friends if they could do it, but they couldn't figure it out. So looks like us Calkulin guys are left out.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] revned911:
I made one for calkulins 1.1 that says "Don't Panic" in large friendly letters. I will link to the boot.img as soon as I'm back at my PC. That's all I got. Stay tuned. See the image at denverlancaster.com. Shameless plug for my blog? Kinda. Img coming. I promise.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
SWEET!!!!! I like it and will install it Dr.

Image

The boot image will only work on Calkulin's 1.1 ROM.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2018847/gtab flz/boot.img

This is the boot image I put on my gtablet - but I still don't know how any of it works. I'm just a monkey punching keys on the keyboard. I flashed it to partition 6. It's apparently risky to do, so if you ruin your tab, I'm not responsible. Use at your own risk.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
Thanks very much for this.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rbansal2:
how did you get past the premission denied part....i m currently stuck at that part

i tried chmod 775 mkbootimg and that didnt work either
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] revned911:
right clicked on the file and went to the permissions tab and set everything to allow every conceivable permission for everyone. Never have been very conservative.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rbansal2:
did that and it said no executable file ./mkbootimg ...its acting wierd
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
I made one last night for the Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo Combo with the tegra2 / andy bitmap.

I'll post the boot.img file when I'm home tonight. I nvflashed it to both images and am now free of birds and A N D R O I D :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] brothersfan:
I look forward to it, thank you!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ninditsu:
could somebody compile the boot.img with the black nvidia tegra 2 boot logo screen for VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?

thanks in advance
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wd5gnr:
You mean to replace the "birds" screen? You don't need boot.img to do that. The only reason you need to mess with boot.img would be to replace the "GTabsDev" screen. The VEGAn flying V screen is a boot animation and you can change that easily too -- just need root explorer or something.

So not sure what you want here.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
When I install this on Calk/Clem's, it kills my Wi-Fi. It says WI-FI:error. So something is not right here. Any ideas?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
Oh shoot... I completely forgot about this... ill be sure to post my verified good boot.img for clem+calk tonight.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
ONLY APPLY THIS MODIFICATION TO V2 OF CAULKLIN+CLEMSYN ROM. IT WILL BREAK WIFI ON V3

Linked are two different flavors for Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo Combo adding the tegra2 / andy bitmap.

The first is just the boot.img zipped up. With it you can pick up at step #22 in post #1 assuming that you've already downloaded and configured nvflash and the associated bootloader.bin.

http://www.shellware.com/projects/Clem-Caulk/boot.img.zip

The second option is a full repack of the ROM. You can use the typical CWM update to get it loaded. Just bear in mind that you may end up with a "clean" rom going this route -- aka factory reset -- although assuming you haven't done anything crazy with the rom you may not need to factory reset / clear cache(s).

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
Your boot.img seems to work fine. Thank you very much!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
Glad I could help. Sorry for the delay on posting it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ninditsu:
Sorry I am quite sure that is incorrect. The viewsonic bird screen is what needs the boot.img which is the first screen. And the second screen is the gtabsdev boot animation.

I already done this for vegan 5.1 but I'm trying to use the new ginger edition.

So an updated boot.img with the black background and tegra logo is what I want for the first screen. And i don't care about boot animation.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
Nope. Birds is part of the bootloader. .. gtab is part of the roms boot.img... the cool vegan Ginger animation is a bootanimation.zip
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ninditsu:
what the freaking ever sorry. my request is the boot.img. i don't care what changes, i want the tegra logo with black background please for vegan rc1 ginger edition

thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cotangent05:
woow.. :) thanks!! that did great on my gtab.. lol
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
I just realized this afternoon that Clemsyn has been busy releasing updates to Caulk-Clem. The above boot.img will only work with Caulkilin-Clemsyn V2 and the repacked rom will revert you to V2 if you're on a higher version.... so be sure you know what version you're on prior to proceeding.

If you're using V3, do not use my stuff. Clemsyn also indicated he may roll it into his next release which would make this pointless moving forward too!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jhreid1969:
Kind of unclear what the full repack ROM contains? I understand it has the boot.img integrated into the ROM, but what does this ROM contain? TNTL, Vegan or what?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
Caulkilin+Clemsym V2 --- Clemsyn's original re-release of the Caulkilin ROM.

Isn't it great? we've got repacks of repacks of repacks? :) :) :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FarSight87:
I currently have a custom bootlogo and bootanimation and am running CM7.0.3. I started following this guide to change the 2nd boot screen between these ones ive modified.

All going well so far up until i have to "remove and save" the initlogo.rle file in the boot.img-ramdisk folder. The problem is that it doesnt exist in this ROM. i have a "init" executable file, a "init.goldfish.rc", "init.harmony.rc" and "init.rc" files, among others (with no ref to init). I obviously cant just take a stab n remove one of these and create a new one with its name, cause it will be re-named with file extension .rle which would not b read by the ROM.

Has anyone else encountered this on the CM7 rom yet?

cheers.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] generosity21:
I am also interested in this. I have already replaced the birds screen, but I don't really like the GTabsDev screen either, so would be nice to have a VeganTab boot.img with a more exciting boot screen. The boot animation is fine for me.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FarSight87:
Anyone know how to change the 2nd logo screen on a cm7.0.3 install with cwm08? Currently has a yellow/white word "ANDROID" on left center of screen n that's it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chr2303:
Can someone do this image for me
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FarSight87:
Are the steps in this guide still a valid way of changing the gtablet logo screen? I have tried twice now with BL1.1 CM7 ROM and the BL1.2 GtabComb 3.3 beta ROM, to no avail.

Just today i tried the GtabComb rom and was getting errors in the terminal at Steps 16 & 20. Any help much appreciated.

Cheers :D

CM7 viewsonic bird replace

As I understand all these instructions are specific to ROMs. Has anyone successfully changes those viewsonic birs with their custom image. Damn, I hope those birds flies soon out of my tab. Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tjsooley:
which one will work with flashback HC 7.0
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rajeevvp:
It's very easy to change that 2nd splash screen on any ROM. See this post for a zip file you can flash using CWM.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FarSight87:

I 2nd this method. worked perfect on GtabComb ROM BL1.2. More detailed steps here for anyone struggling.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] igorv:
I have a bunch of different logos posted at slatedroid. Each of them are in their own update.zip so you can choose which one you want and just flash it using clockworkmod.

I would post a link but not allowed since I am new here.Just check out the Gtablet themes section at slatedroid and you will find it
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] patne83:
i really appreciate what you guys do for all the android commiunity, there is no video out there to follow ,and i will love to change those stupid birds. did you know another more simple way to do this, i only use nvflsh to bring my tablet back to stock.

I will appreciate any help
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Prime85:
i am stuck at the repack, hopefully someone can help me. I am using ubuntu 11.04 this is the message i get when trying to repack.

i have tryed many different things and i have run out of ideas, any help will be appreciated.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rajeevvp:
If you just want to change /initlogo.rle, you don't have to unpack and repack the boot image yourself. I created a CWM flashable zip file some time ago which will do most of that work for you. Just unzip my zip file (see this thread or post #81, above) and replace the initlogo.rle file in there with yours. Zip everything up again and then just flash it. You don't even need to sign the zip file since CWM doesn't check signatures by default.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Prime85:
thank you i will try it when i get home.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Prime85:
Man you are a genius THANK YOU!!! :D

worked perfectly, ill never know what went wrong with the repacking but i guess it doesn't matter

Boot Logo

A much easier way of doing this is actually just replacing the bmp image file under your partition 6 table. I am not taking credit for this as I found this online. I attached a zip file, either use this to have a new boot logo or replace the image file with another 24 bit bmp 1024x600 picture. After you edit, archive the three files together again using your favorite program. Move the zip file over to your sc card either internal or external. Open up recovery upon a restart/shutdown. Once CWM recovery is open find your zip and install it. After about a second your new boot image should be complete. Just reboot and see the difference. This is the easiest way of making/changing your boot image. Other suggestions which are just as easy would be to NvFlash the files which would be incorporated with your recovery or new rom installation. Whichever option works best for you :)

Just wanted to type up a easy guideline for those noobs who hate reading techy paragraphs.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rajeevvp:
1. This is the wrong thread for that zip file. This thread is for replacing the /initlogo.rle file which is the 2nd splash screen (which by default is a gTablet logo) shown right after the 1st splash screen (the 3 birds).

2. That zip file is originally from right here on XDA.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0adki111:
Hi guys, I am a tmobile user so I don't have a captivate, but I do own a vibrant, nexus one, and nexus s.

I rooted my buddy's captivate a little while back. No custom rom or anything, just root, custom recovery, and such.

He just called me today and said he has a notification for an update and wants to know if he should get it. I told him no for now and I'll find out what it is.

So any of you captivate users get an update notification today 12/16/2010? What is it? Froyo? Is it safe to update with root and custom recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
No update afaik. It's probably jh7.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0adki111:
Ok so I just called him and he has f*3 I think he said? I don't even remember what he said but it was f something. Not jh7.

I guess would bring me to the question of whether we can just let the ota run it's course or if i need to take him back to stock first. Any thoughts? I'll call back and find out what exact version he is using if I need to. I'm kind of tired right now and forgot what he said.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
Stock would be jf6 and the only ota the Captivate has received is jh7.

Edit: You should just flash a froyo rom imo.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0adki111:
Ok that's probably what he said, I just texted him to ask again. I knew it had a f in it though.

Do you know if i need to unroot and go back to stock recovery to update to jh7?

Ya he has jf6, just heard back from him. What is a stable everyday use 2.2 rom I should suggest to him? I'm guessing 2.3 will be ported soon too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0adki111:
So no one knows if I have to unroot and revert the recovery to stock in order to get jh7 update safely? Currently on jf6 rooted with clockworkmod.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:

[Nook Color General] edison:
Hey guys,

I examined the warranty a bit closer today and I can't find anything that would indicate that rooting voids your warranty.

First of all, take a gander for yourself here.

Notice the warranty only covers the standard "defects in workmanship or material" and that in several places they specifically state that the warranty only covers the hardware. In on paragraph, they state specifically that it doesn't cover the software.

The have the standard disclaimers about damage or malfunctions caused by abuse, neglect, Vogon poetry, etc. not being covered, but nowhere does it say that modifying or configuring your NC automatically voids your warranty. If such modifications cause the damage or malfunction, that's a different story.

So they could say that overclocking your CPU voids your warranty but only if it's the CPU that is damaged, however. If you overclock your CPU, they would have a hard time demonstrating that that was the reason why you have 18 dead pixels.

Then again B&N is a big corporation with nearly unlimited resources and you might lose if it ever came down to a fight. But there are a number of laws in place to protect us, the little guys. It also would be worthwhile to investigate whether your state has extra automatic warranty coverages.

That said, you'd probably be safe to factory reset your NC before trying to return it or get it serviced under warranty - especially since you won't get that specific unit back.

Or you could shell out the $55 for the 2-year extended warranty that covers everything.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] limsy:
Hi everyone. I went thru quite some posts but am still unsure because of the many different devices & models (I'm not sure if mine will work or not and I'm scared that I will brick it).

I hope someone can give more general advises like:

1. How do I know if I can root my device or not (be it 2.1 or 2.2 and etc...)?

(eg. a tool/app that we can download and run to get detail version/system info?)

2. How do I know if my device can be upgraded to 2.2 or not?

My device ... http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.47008

All I know is its 2.1. I would like to root it (so I can safely back it up b4 playing around with it) and to install apps in the SD card. Help?

I saw quite some threads on the how-to for the above but am not sure if my device is compatible with the methods. Thanks.

Any processor will run more stable at a given speed with HIGHER voltage. The byproducts of increased power are less battery and more heat. You'd have much more luck hitting higher speeds at 0 or + voltage, but be warned, too high of a voltage is a very dangerous thing, so at your own risk, baby-steps, all that jazz.

Ok, any FB user knows that the page will go on forever, just click "older posts", well when my HD2 was stock (2.13) it would work, now it wont with NRG or any other ROMs, just sits there stuck on a short page.

Also if I go to "messages" it takes me to the mobile version, never did that as stock.

So my question is, did FB change things or is it just the newer versions of Opera in the NRG ROMs that have caused this change in behavior. I don't wanna go back but I will to make the "real" FB page act like it does on a real pc.

I have been messing around with google maps 5 that just got released and it does not have pre-caching, tilt maps, nor 3d. Is it because of the software limitations or is it just me? I can probably opprehend that 3d wont work, but what about pre-caching the maps? Oh yes, I was wondering if it supported vector based rendoring. Sorry if I am in the wrong spot, anyways, merry christmas.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
I have all of that on my eris.

remember: the 3d buildings are only in 100 cities or so, go to new york and you'll see them.

I THOUGHT you were supposed to be able to change the angle/degree of tilt by using two fingers, but alas, that is not working for me if that's what it's supposed to do.

precaching takes time, it uses your most-traversed areas, it learns the areas where your most likely to use it, and then caches it during periods of downtime when you arent using your phone, but still have an internet connection (like the nightly charge). Going off what google says, I suggest you connect to wifi at night when charging too, apparently it works better for the caching. give it a week or two of use and I'm sure you'll see it start to save your locale. you might want to even start over using your gps: get directions for wherever you're going, even if you already know how to get there, it should learn where your most often to use gps even faster.

and yeah, this should definitely go in the apps section.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macman159:
Yea I was a little late on where I was to post this. It does 3d, but it does not do 3d tilt. When I meant pre-cache I was talking about the place where it is supposed to be which is menu>cache settings<pre-cache options. I want that so it can cache over 3g rather than only on wifi
