k3ksik, i find bootanimation you uploaded are very brilliant!

i'm trying to make one on my own, but i noticed that if i increase fps a little (15-20 instead of your 12) to make the anim look a little smoother, my X8 doesn't show any animation(black screen) on boot but still continues booting sequence. can you explain why?

And then can you explain the meaning of the line in desc.txt?

i don't really understand what the numbers following p are!

thanks for everything
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] LuisDias:
Just move the bootanimation file to the folder system/media and replace the other.. simple as that xD

Don't forget to mount r/w

really appreciate!! nice job..thx!!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] xewl:
Here you go Edinhox!

Didn't test it though, but it should work, I used the same method with my own animation, and that one worked fine.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Edinhox:

a question: is there any way to speed it up?

[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I know this is an Aria forum, but I have a tablet question. Are there any Aria/Liberty/Gratis/Intruder users in this forum that also use Android tablets? We are considering gifting one and wonder how they perform in terms of reliability. A friend has the Coby one and gets force closes often and AppsLib sucks.

My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Funny... I was searching on ebay for one of those a minute ago. I believe they operate reliably. But I would deffinitely go with one that runs Froyo, less chances of finding bugs.
[HTC Aria General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I am using my Gtab to send tis, as my Aria Tethers me to a connection here in the mountains of the Poconos. Its ony at EDGE speeds, but it works for now. I love my GTAB. The hardware is impressive, save one item. Its downfall is the LCD screen. It has bad viewing angles in Portrait mode. Other than that, I have since turned my laptop on twice in the last two weeks since I got the Tablet.
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
I used to live in the Poconos. Well, in Gouldsboro, Pa. :)
[HTC Aria General] greenmonsterland:
I have a GTAB too. The thing is junk out of the box but killer after switching to a different Rom. Look in the G Tablet forum on here and do some research. I like it because I'm already familiar with the Android system and how it works.
[HTC Aria General] Frrrrrrunkis:
This is exactly why I went with the gTab. Plus the cpu makes the gTab a device that will be around for a while longer than most portable devices running Android
[HTC Aria General] tayytayy:
I have a Coby (rooted with gapps and the new android market installed).. It is a little slower than what I'm use to, but i have not have many force close issues or than with ADW themes..
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
What did you guys pay for your G-Tabs? $400? Did you get it locally or from Amazon?

I'm pretty interested in it, but with all the newly-announced tablets at CES, I'm wondering if I should hold off.
[HTC Aria General] kevina90:
I'm going to wait for a suitable htc tablet, like the so called "htc scribe"

I like htc :)
[HTC Aria General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I did get it locally, but I only paid 319.99. Heh, I was able to negotiate the sears rep at the store down from 400 by telling him I was just going to buy it online and pick it up since I could get it for 380. He then did some numbers thing and viola! It was on m receipt for 320

Yeah I have a Nook Color with launcher pro and the Android Marketplace and it works very well with almost no crashing...EVER!
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
i would get the Nook Color, but i'd like to have camera and GPS for road trips. would be nice to play around with Google Maps and navigation on a tablet.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I was all set to buy a Nook Color for rooting, then a friend on another forum told me that he had returned his because the edges of the screen were not sensitive to touch at all. That worries me... you had any issues with that anup?
[HTC Aria General] anup111:
Sorry for the late reply... I don't have problems at all with touchscreen unitl my hands get sweaty (I know it's gross). When that happens the screen becomes unresponsive and I have to lock and unlock the screen. Then it's all better!
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I ended up getting a Nook color yesterday. Had it rooted within 30 minutes. I'm using Zeam as my launcher and I really like it. This Nook has to be the best Android tab for the money if you ask me.

I am glad you got the nook color... I think that for 250$ it is the most sensable choice. Let me know how you like it!

I have tried opera mini, skyfire, the stock android browser, UC, and Fenec, all of them cant' play streaming mp3 from website.

Any other android browser has this options??? Anyone knows???
[Android Apps and Games] schiphol:
Hi!

I got myself in a real predicament here. I just love this Miren browser (v1.2) from the market. It's actually so unbelievably good, I feel as though I need to make the following request to the community before A LOT of others and myself are totally hooked to it.

So here's the problem, Miren is relatively unknown and from China. Now let's be clear here: I don't have anything against china but I think this does merit that someone takes this thing apart and take a good look at it before we all start punching in our passwords by the thousands. I have fruitlessly spent hours searching online for any info on this browsers integrity. As I unfortunately don't know myself how to e.g. wireshark the phone and check for security flaws, I had hoped some smart linux person here is willing to invest some time and check it out. Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
thats a valid concern, the only way to be really sure is

1) find an open source browser and build it yourself

2) go through the code looking for back-doors/root kits/triggers/trojan/keylogger etc

Some choices:

-Firefox mobile

-Default android browser

-Chrome (coming soon I hope)
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
I see your concern but where do you stop?

What about those "free" apps people mindlessly install? Some have been proven to send data behind the scenes with "rights" loopholes.

Plus, I see you say its "not that its from China..." but... you do seem to have a concern that it's from "China", why not pick on Dolphin Browser?
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
Good point mentioned by everyone. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
Once you have doubt then just stop using it.

You can try Xscope 6 version. It's fast...

Actually there are so many apps that leaking your information regardless if the apps are from China or not. I think all the users should pay attention on the security issues when using smart phone with easy internet access.

Sign into your account and change the email. That should work.
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
Here is an easy way to run commands after each boot.

In the init.rc file, the file /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh always gets run after a successful boot. Since it isn't trivial to change the init.rc file, we will use clrbootcount.sh to run commands after a boot. Since people are having issues with modifying clrbootcount.sh, we will choose a safer method.

clrbootcount.sh will always attempt to call /data/boot_complete_hook.sh, which doesn't exit. We are going to create this file and use that to run commands.

Create a file named boot_complete_hook.sh with the following contents (On Windows, use Notepad++):

#!/system/bin/sh
##################################################################################
#
# File boot_complete_hook.sh
# Description	Run any commands that you want to be run after boot
#
##
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
echo 68000,1024/70/200/40,600/10/11/10 > /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings

Save and close.

Now, execute the following commands to put the file on your nook:

adb push boot_complete_hook.sh /data/boot_complete_hook.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/boot_complete_hook.sh

Note:

Before you reboot verify that the file will run properly. Open up a shell via adb shell. Inside that run the following:

setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 1
getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto

You should see 1 as the output. Now run:

sh /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh

You should see an output similar to:

4+0 records in
4+0 records out
4 bytes transferred in 0.010 secs (400 bytes/sec)

Now run:

getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto

If 0 is printed out, exit the shell.

If 0 is not printed out, something went wrong and the file will not be run properly on the next boot. If you do reboot in this state 8 times, the boot count won't be reset and you will hit the factory reset. While you are trying to get the script working, you could always manually reset the boot count by executing (from a shell):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4

Now reboot:

adb shell reboot

As you are rebooting, run:

adb shell getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto

It will return 1 since the init.rc file sets it to 1 explicitly. However, once you are fully booted it will return 0.
[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
Didn't work for me.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
Wouldn't this screw up the 8X "back to stock firmware" sequence since that depends on having the boot counter increment up to 8?
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
The script file is already there and already being called after each successful boot. The 8x boot counter logic happens with 8 failed boots. Regardless, the instructions just show you how to append a custom command to be run after the stock commands run, no other booting logic is affected.

What didn't work? Run the following and paste your output:

adb shell cat /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh

adb shell ls -l /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Awesome, thanks for the tip! Been wondering how to put in my own stuff into the init, I'd love to modify the path but I suspect this won't be the way, but regardless it's good info. :)

BTW, I have found that disabling this USM property seems to disable the SD card automounting but the Nook itself might still automount... But that's for another thread I suppose ;)
[Nook Color General] alphahere:

There seems to be a little confusion over at the refresh rate thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901294.

To be explicit, if you want to disable auto-mounting as well as change the refresh rate, you would edit clrbootcount.sh to have the following contents:

#!/system/bin/sh
##################################################################################
#
# File clrbootcount.sh
# Description	Clear the bootcount variable to 0 on successful boot
#
##
# Run potential hook first.
/data/boot_complete_hook.sh
# Zero the boot count
dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
#run other commands
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
echo 68000,1024/70/200/40,600/10/11/10 > /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings

If you don't want to disable auto-mounting, just remove the line with

setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0

[Nook Color General] >DARKMAN<:
I lost my backup of clrbootcount.sh

and now it won't reset the boot count.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
always returns 1 during and after complete reboot. The echo command for screen does not persist. Have followed your instructions super letter by letter multiple times and leading up to the reboot everything is exactly as you say.

Right now, I am most concerned that whatever I have done will not reset the boot count since it stays at 1 and does not go to 0. I've already lost my entire setup twice and had to start from scratch trying to make this work. At least I know how to reset to 0 with the line command script but how do I ensure i don't need to worry about it?

I think this process may be a bust.
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
I am on 1.0.0 and have been using this since I posted it and both the refresh rate and automount values are sticking between reboots.
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
I am assuming you are using the new method, which would mean you need to post your /data/boot_complete_hook.sh
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
The clrbootcount.sh file that you posted is the default file. I will post it again:

#!/system/bin/sh
##################################################################################
#
# File clrbootcount.sh
# Description	Clear the bootcount variable to 0 on successful boot
#
##
# Run potential hook first.
/data/boot_complete_hook.sh
# Zero the boot count
dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4

Also, the original post explains how to manually reset the boot count. Here it is:

If 0 is not printed out, something went wrong and the file will not be run properly on the next boot. If you do reboot in this state 8 times, the boot count won't be reset and you will hit the factory reset. While you are trying to get the script working, you could always manually reset the boot count by executing (from a shell):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
[Nook Color General] JoshMiers:
It appears you are running Windows, so I am hoping that you did not use Notepad to edit this file.

Since you are running 1.0.1, post your /init.rc file.
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
Thought I may have been doing something wrong since I used notepad but downloaded Notepad++ and created the new .sh file. Still no go. Screen still flickers and USB still automounts. Maybe 1.0.1 just is not commpatible with this process. Only difference I can see.

The getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto also indicates 1 after full boot and not 0. Pretty sure this will wipe everything out after 8 boots, going to wipe it all out now and proactively prevent it.

Hello Everyone,

I have noticed from my stock ROM to every ROM i have used on this device that there is problem when we send mails from the Gmail App. It sits there eternally and finally gmail deletes it without sending mail. Googling pointed me to thousands of such posts everywhere on net. I also found only one thread on google forum where a Google Employee acknowledged this issue and then told everyone that a fix has been pushed, after which the thread was closed for further commenting.

Now, I use JBoogie ROM which has a Gmail App which says version130 on it. Is it possible to get the latest and updated app for this so that all those disasters are avoided?.

Thanks to all in advance.

Suggestions Anyone????

I have two G-Tablets and am working with Android for the first time.

Lost a cell phone today and may have to get another. Have not gone to smart phones up to now. Interested in Android but still plan to use G-Tabs for most of my e-mail, etc. Verizon (used to be Alltel).

What would be a good phone to use with the G-Tablet. Something which is not too locked up and could be used alone or possible tether with tablet. Some of you know the possibilities better than I do.

Thanks for any input.

[G Tablet General] Nospin:
I liked the feel of the Droid Incredible, though it is becoming dated. You really can't go wrong with the droid family (or so I hear, I'm on t-mobile), but if you want to wait I would pay attention to CES, some crazy phones being revealed.

Note on tethering, you need to do your homework. Some networks lock down their phones pretty good and make you pay. You can get around most with rooting, but just fyi.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you wanna go cheap and not have a contract. Get a Droid 1 off EBay. Easy to hack and overclocked at 1 Ghz runs well.

I was thinking of getting one but am waiting till march.

I am with AT&T and they are locked down on the tethering thing..i hear Verizon lets you tether though?

Can someone verify as i may go verizon/droid (from my old iphone/AT&T set up) in the spring if thats the case.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Thanks folks for your replies.

I am a little disappointed. I thought since the Android phones have been so successful lately that quite a few people would be able to tell me what to watch for and what to avoid.

I expect to get a new phone, but haven't been involved with smartphone enough to know the advantages and disadvantages of the hardware and software.

Still would love to hear from other about current options?!?

well im on at&t and im using the captivate and i love it! its rooted with axuras rom on it presently. tethering is enabled and i used it all the time.

the phone is faster than my g tab... seems faster.

ive played with the droid x and i prefer the captivate... dad has the x, it seems odd in the hand and i dont like the physical buttons.. the soft buttons have grown on me.

but any of the top smart phones are close..
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Thanks to those who replied.

I found several Droid-type smartphones I liked -- but the plans that come with them wound up being too expensive and too limited to be practical for my use. Please I have a network of computers, a laptop, a netbook and two G-Tablets to get mail, download, etc. I just couldn't convince myself I had to have a smartphone!!

Wound up simply buying the wife a new phone she liked that had good visual features that will help with her visual handicap.

So all's well that ends well.

Again, thanks and best wishes for a blessed New Year.
