[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
A radio is what communicates with the towers. Newer radios typically are more efficient and give better reception and quality and performance. It is safe as long as you follow directions. EXACTLY. Not all radios will give you better performance and quality a lot depends on where you leave.

For instance, when I had the HTC Hero I kept getting poor reception and battery with the newest radio they would put out so I flashed older ones and got better everything. I don't advise you to do this but on the Hero I actually used a Verizon radio because it gave me a crazy amount of improvement than the Sprint radios did. But what I mean here is experiment with radios in the Evo forums till you find one that gives you good everything.

Please don't go flashing Verizon radios. LOL.

Any one who knows how to create a bootanimation, can you help me out? Please. :D

I'm no good at this stuff. But I had an idea for a boot animation for the Vegan ROM.

I wanted a bootanimation that had the 3rd evil ex from Scott Pilgrim? You know, Todd Ingram (the Vegan).

I found a couple of animated Gifs and as I understand it we can also use youtube vids. Can anyone make me one? :D

Thanks in advance

I made this one at Gifsoup. It's not the greatest but that last second where his hair is glowing looks cool or even the part where he's lifting up scott pilgrim.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rayden25:
Open up a boot animation zip file and look what's in there. Nothing more than a .PNG file for each frame of the movie. The description file shows the frame size of the movie and the frame rate in fps. The folder part0 is for non-repeating animations and the part1 is for the repeating part of the animation.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Hal0053:
Here is a good link to help you out.

http://www.androidmobilesupport.com/tutorials/bootanimation

I put the bootanimation.zip into /data/local and reboot!

Worked for me. This is what I made for mine :) http://goo.gl/xtNBZ

I can upload it if anyone wants to use it. I take no credit for creating the initial .gif but I extracted it to .png

Make sure the desc.txt is made correctly!

Good luck.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] witkowskipe:
I am intrigued by the prospect of making my own files...the informational link in this thread is broken, can someone elaborate on the specifics of the desc.txt file mainly the values before part0 and part1? Also, does the framerate value in the first line mean that it will go through 10 of the files in the part0 folder every second? Lastly, I am assuming that the size of the png files should match the resolution listed in the first line of the desc.txt.

Hey Guys,

Just noticed that of the Dual Flash LEDs' the top pne does not turn on fully when taking a photo or and not at all when using the torch app.

Can you guys check whether this is normal behaviour as with your HD7s or my one is actually faulty.

Thanks guys.

[Nexus S General] annndrewww:
So if (when) I root my Nexus S, if I don't do anything except root it (no custom roms etc) will I receive all updates just like normal from Google no strings attached? In essence, it'll be the exact same process just superuser status, correct?
[Nexus S General] Michael.B.:
In essence you are only adding two files, the .apk and the su file. I would think that you would still get updates, but just an educated guess.
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
The only way you'll lose updates is by flashing a custom ROM AFAIK. An update might break your root (not sure), but you should still get it.
[Nexus S General] Kalimdor:
Nah ... then if we flash our GNS with custom rom we can't update firmware directly from google ? It is reversable reversible ... it is ?
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
You don't get OTA updates with a custom ROM, but you will if you flash back to a stock one.
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
I am not sure you can install ota updates with custom recovery either right?
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
As long as you have a stock ROM, I think you can.
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
Don't the ota updates install through the phones recovery? If it's not the stock recovery, how would it work? Maybe I am wrong though
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
Just did a Google and apparently you can download the OTA update but not install without a stock recovery. I assume you can then install it "manually" with your custom recovery.
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
I think you can only install the ota from stock recovery also because of the way it is signed. Although I am sure someone will come up with a flashable zip as soon as, if not before, there is an update. So I would not worry :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] HCTerrorist:
Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a page indicator app for spb Mobile Shell?

In detail, an app that show on which spb MS lifestyle page you are currently.

If, for example, you have 5 lifestyle pages, the widget would show 5 dots with one highlighted as being the currently viewed page.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Clarion:
Install "HTC Pure" theme. The highlighted dot should be as a widget or part of menubar and other dots should be on your wallpaper.

New version with a few less (useless) applets. Also correctly uses symlinks whereas prior versions were installing but making copies of busybox with the same size :(

Sorry about that.

To upgrade to this version you must manually clean out your xbin folder. Delete all files that have the SAME size. ~1.93mb.

[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Titanium backup pro says 1.19.0. If I go to problems and get latest working version it says 1.16.0. Is TB pro not updated yet, hence the manual zip package?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Tibu uses its own copy of busybox. If you nuke it...it will use my version.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Sorry but could you share a little more detail, I've been digging through the app but I cant find it reference to busybox.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
If you click "Problems?", it will download a Busybox install:

To verify whether or not you have it downloaded, check here:

If you delete the Busybox file shown above, it will use the one in /system/bin or /system/xbin.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, however I'm using Astro and I cant see anything in the data folder. Are you using Root Explorer? Maybe its time for me to switch.

The auto update in TiBu downloads 1.16.0 so thats no good.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
I believe Astro has a "view hidden files" setting. Is your's turned on?

So yes, TiBu downloads 1.16 if you hit "Problems?". Adryn's is newer, so don't download the TiBu one. It will then automatically use Adryn's.

I'm kind of confused... are you actually having a problem? It sounds like you have the newest Busybox installed, and Titanium is confirming that.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
View hidden files is turned on, so not sure if astro (free verison btw, I like to test apps or get valid feedback before buying) is giving me me full access. Thats why I was asking about Root Explorer. If it's truly better I don't mind purchasing. I'm trying to narrow down if my app is the problem or something else I should be looking at.

I can verify that the busybox 1.19.3 is on my phone, but I have yet to figure out why TiBu isnt using it. Not a problem with my phone per say, my problem is the "why is it not" and "how" to get TiBu to use the version I specify.

I'm trying to bring myself up to speed on android as fast as I can so every bit of in site from more experienced users like you is appreciated. I come from xhtml, xml and java so I'm figuring out the way android works pretty fast, but little details like this just bug me until I get it to work. Thanks for the previous advice and hopefully a little more.

Edit: So I just picked up Root Explorer and its much better. The interface, ease of operation and better access makes it well worth the 4 bucks.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Ok, I think I see now what's up. Originally, you said that Titanium showed that it was using "1.19". This is what it should say. The ".3" was added by Adrynalyne to differentiate it from his previous two builds that were based on the "1.19" source. The version that TiBu reports will not reflect this (though it should say something about adrynalyne's github).

If you can verify externally that you have busybox 1.19.3 installed in /system/bin, and TiBu says its using "1.19", then you are in perfect working condition.

Sorry for not realizing this sooner.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
No worries, thanks for the follow up. I know the .3 differentiates the build, I kinda thought it would show up in the menu also so when it didn't I started digging deeper. Everything is working and Root Explorer is much nicer to use, so forward progress.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
i think i lost root or maybe just busybox.. maybe posting back here soon

edit: this link doesnt work... if i just reflash sc 2.9.2 will i be rooted again idk how this happened but it wont let me dl busybox in TiBu so i thought root was gone... re-rooted (1click method) and still cant dl busybox anywhere therefore i dnt have root rights to TiBu (i need it to backup my apps so i can flash EC01 and give it a try... also i need it for metamorph to work as i like butchs dark glass swype metamorph ovr nitro's honeycomb themed swype keyboard)
[Fascinate Android Development] M00NEY:
If you re-flash SC you should get busybox (I think).

Looking at TB, mine says:

Root access: OK (BusyBox 1.19.0.git. adrynalyne from system)

I have never falshed BB alone, so I have to presume it is included in teh rom. I am using my very simple powers of deduction here, and those are not to always be trusted. Just be aware that I am full on guessing here.
[Fascinate Android Development] Bubbadogg14:
well ur guess plus me thinking i remember seeing somewhere that it does include it= a flash 2 test n c lol

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] g30rg10u:
We ve all noticed that builds made from HD and EVO are of higher resolution than the ones from Desire / Nexus One.

Once you try them (evo/desireHD) you think that you ve got a higher resolution.

All are 480x800, which means the res its the same for the screen, but i think not for the build.

LCD Density is a workaround, but truely ? it sucks when the keyboard becomes tiny and everything else as well.

Is there any way to have CM6 based on DesireHD or EVO or even more builds from EVO instead of Desire as base?

I know that desire's is the most compatible but it sucks if you compare it with HD.

Even in WinMo6.5 graphics looks a bit better.

We have bought a 4.3" display phone because we like having big screens. :) Not because we are blind :P:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
There already a couple of dhd and evo builds, why is that not enough for you? I'm glad we have this variety here, not everyone likes sense.

And no CM is never going to have a sense release. It's not based on desire by the way, CM is its own base.

hi

my omina 7 of 1 month is broken.

A few weeks ago it wouldnt boot and gave the screen indicating

the phone needs to be plugged into the pc, it then booted ok.

Yesterday it gave the same message but by the time i got it home

the message was gone.

Now it will not boot, it simply cycles through the samsung logo, the three network logo , then back to the samsung logo.

Will be taking it back to the three shop tonight.

is there a way of hard resetting the phone using the buttons?

I have only found info on hard reset from within the OS, which obviously i now cannot get to.

has anyone else had this problem

The only similar problem i found was with a focus

was on the windowsphonesecrets website under the heading restoration error
[Omnia 7 General] robnewton1:
to hard reset the focus press the power, volume & camera buttons all together. that might do it.
[Omnia 7 General] 001mic:
Have you tried taking the battery out of the phone? Heard from someone that that solved the problem...
[Omnia 7 General] skate88:
yes tried taking the battery out

tried it without the sim

let the battery completely drain and tried again

the hard reset button combination didnt work either

just constantly cycling between the samsung and three network logos

three have now sent it off for repair ....
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
I have a very similar problem. My phone randomly rebooted itself but now it sticks on the Samsung Omnia 7 logo. I've tried removing the battery but nothing.

Is there a Safe Mode I can boot into?
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Damn looks like I have the same problem.Was playing a game.Phone rebooted on its own, all I get is the Samsung Omnia 7 screen.

Tried a Hard Reset. I get the options pop up for about 2 seconds asking if I want to format.If I am quick enough to press the Home button nothing happens it just switches off.
[Omnia 7 General] Erwan960:
Did you try to flash the ROM ?
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Me?

No?

Download mode was the only mode that seemed to be recognised by my PC.If it wasn't in warranty I would maybe have tried that, but as it is in warranty I will let T-Mobile deal with it.
[Omnia 7 General] skate88:
my repaired samsung was returned mid january

a few weeks later and the same thing has happened again...

phone froze, switched it off , now will not boot again

it is definitely the same hand set or at least the same outer casing

the bill said it had some parts replaced
[Omnia 7 General] manny84:
I wonder what caused this issue?
[Omnia 7 General] hcusto:
I had similar problem and this is how I solved it:

Make sure your Device is switched off (remove and reinsert the battery)

1. Press and hold the Camera, Volume Down, and Power buttons simultaneously.

2. Release Power when the phone vibrates, but continue to hold down Camera and Volume Down.

3. Release Camera and Volume Down when the Format prompt is displayed on screen.

4. Press Windows key twice to confirm the hard reset.

Enjoy your phone now :)
[Omnia 7 General] djboo:
add 1 to the list, mine is doing thin, formatting doesnt help, reflashing doesnt help.

unless i can find a fix, im without a phone for 15 days while tmob plays with it :(
[Omnia 7 General] JPDB:
any progress?

Since applying the update that Samsung release yesterday I'm having the same problem...

Format didn't work, installing 'older' firmwares (I8700BSEJK1, I8700XENJK1 and I8700DBTJK1) didn't solve any issue

Anybody with more ideas?
[Omnia 7 General] Tony.Montana.:
I've also had this issue... I think it was caused by forcing the nodo update. Now I've updated it normally using this guide

[General Topics] stevenroose:
Hi,

I just bought an HTC Desire and I dislike HTC Sense, before experimenting with Cyanogen or such (which I have on my G1), I'd like to test regular Stock Android like the Nexus One has.

Are there any simple ways to change the full Desire's interface to Stock Android (not only by replacing Sense by another home launcher)?

Any ROMs to install a Nexus-like OS?

And, when such a ROM installed, will updates be handled normally?

Or, another possibility, to install all the regular Google Apps on it, like Messaging, Contacts, Calendar,... and let these replace HTC's?

Many thanks!

[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I've been having the download problem too, but then again, I've always had serious problems downloading from the Market. It used to be that downloads would just hang on "Starting" without ever actually downloading. This start-and-disappear thing, however, is new to me.

The end result is the same though -- it's probably about 50/50 for me whether something will actually download and install or just hang or disappear. Honestly, the Market's dysfunctionality (yeah, I made up a word) is the single most annoying thing about Android to me, and the one thing that's legitimately made me consider switching to another OS and phone. It's unbelievably frustrating when you just can't download apps sometimes, no matter how many times you try. And no, I've never found a fix.
[Fascinate General] imneveral0ne:
Well, I unrooted my phone and now everything works fine. I used Super One Click Root to do it and maybe that just doesnt work for this phone....

I had this issue also. I fixed it by using root explorer to set permissions. You can do this by opening root explorer-system-app-tap 'Mount R/W' at the top until it says 'Mount R/O' and find and long press vending.apk-permissions-check every box for User, and only check read for Group and Others. Then tap ok and reboot. Hope this works for you
