I installed a new ROM last night and everything was working fine until this morning i couldnt open my messaging.

I read about deleting a folder of inbox.xxxx but i cannot find it on my storage card.

I really need some advice on how to fix this guys, help!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
I have made a nice bootanimation that is similair to some of my splash screens

If you can't see it in action, you may want to see it here.

Install

If it doesn't work for you, read this post by dtechnology.

Flashable splash screens can be found here:

- Small version, Gray: *HERE*

- Big version, Gray: *HERE*

- Big version, Green: *HERE*

- Big version, Cyan: *HERE*

UPDATE 1/9/11:

Made a cyan version too:

If it doesn't move, use the direct link instead.

Download here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
Dude you ****ing rock !

Any chance of a cyan one :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dtechnology:
Pretty slick, thanks!

[edit]

Maybe a stupid question, but do you need to extract the zip or not?

[/edit]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jase33:
I did not extract and it did not work. Trying with it unzipped.

EDIT** Extracted BOOTANIMATION folder and did not work either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
How are you trying to flash it ? The bootanimation.zip is for android not WM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jase33:
I didnt. Just copy and paste like the first post said.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dtechnology:
Doesn't work for me either, tried both:

1. Put the zip in /data/local/bootanimation.zip

2. extract the zip to /data/local/bootanimation/

So with 2 you get /data/local/bootanimation/desc.txt etc.

Still getting first my custom splash screen, then magldr, then DFT splash, then HTC animation.

Using the DFT "Stock" Desire ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
ASAP... ;)

1st way is the correct way ;) For HTC Desire the path may be:

You may want to backup the original file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dtechnology:
There was indeed a bootanimation.zip and I replaced it, but then the screen just went dark for a time before booting (after the DarkForcesTeam splash)...

I tried chmodding it to 775 (because it was 070 or something) but that didn't work.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
Found a helpful post for you here ;).

Cyan version finished:

If it doesn't move, use the direct link instead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dtechnology:
Solution provided by warrie87 didn't work for me.

[edit]

I just tried it with my brother's HD2 who uses a different NAND Sense ROM, and it worked there so I blame my ROM/messed up config :P

[/edit]

[edit2]

To clarify: this will NOT work on the origional DFT "Stock" Desire ROM You will just get a black screen instead of a boot animation. This ROM also had other issues too so I advise to try a different ROM, e.g. prj's Clean Desire or any of MDJ's fine ROMs (no Sense)

[/edit2]

For those of you who want to try it:

Step-by-step guide for for HD2:

Make sure you rooted your phone if your ROM isn't rooted by default (z4root should do the trick)

Download a terminal emulator like "Android Terminal Emulator" through the market

Make sure it is set to request Superuser permissions if it has that option

Put bootanimation.zip into /data/local/bootanimation.zip using a file manager (e.g. Root Explorer or Super Manager).

This should be enough for non-Sense ROM's

Execute the following commands (do not enter *, that is for notes below the code)

su (you should get a Superuser request)
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system *
cd /system/customize/resource/
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip.bak **
ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
ls -l (to verify ***)
exit
exit

*

/mtdblock1 might be something else in your ROM, check the output of `mount`. There should be a line like this:

/dev/block/mtdblock# /system yaffs2 ro,relatime 0 0

The # is the number you need to replace 1 with

**

This is only necessary if you want to backup the origional animation. You can also remove the file with `rm bootanimation.zip`

***

There should be a line like this:

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-xx-xx xx:xx bootanimation.zip -> /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Close the terminal app and you're done

If it doesn't work then you should check if there is a bootanimation.zip in /system/media. If there is, you can create a symlink there in a same way:

cd /system/media
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip.bak
ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
Thanks! Added a link to your post in FP ;)!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chris1212:
Hi, I like the bootscreen you've made.

Can you tell me in a few simple steps how to change it? I'm using the following android "MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0"

I also have the "splash_HD2_big_green" you've made. How ca I apply this screen so that my HD2 has no WinMO/HTC screen anymore?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dtechnology:
You can follow the guide two posts adbove yours. Keep in mind that since you use a SD ROM you will always have the WinMo boot-screen and ROM. You can flash a NAND ROM to delete WinMo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
Follow the Tutorial by mskip for flashing a splash screen.

Use a program like root explorer to copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local. If it doesn't work, use the steps suggested by dtechnology.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chris1212:
Ok, for the bootanimation.zip it is clear I will give it a try.

But how to get the splash screen embedded?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
Use customruu just like flashing a wm rom :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chris1212:
is it also possible from SD card (that's the way I flash new WM ROMs) ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
Haven't tried yet, but I think that will do the trick too ;).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chris1212:
Just tried.. didn't work (I renamed the file to LEOIMG.nhb, then booted into bootloader, nothing happened for >4 minutes)

Or should I rename the file to someting else? When I look into a ROM LEOIMG.nhb with "htcRIE_0.7.0.19.exe" I see that the splash file is called SPLASH.nb

I will customruu.exe later today. that should work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
Sweet Lord !

Thanx a bunch friend :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KillaHurtz:
For those having trouble finding the correct location for this file, try /system/media/ thats where mine is. Also if that doesn't work, use a root explorer & search for 'bootanimation' when you find it's location remember it and paste this one from SD.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bartju94:
No problem ;) ! Just saw MDJ is using my splash screen as init.gz :D. I tried to create an init.gz before, but that didn't work. Thanks to MDJ the whole experience is complete now :D : Splash, Init logo, Bootanimation :p.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] T-TDraigh:
Unfortunately, the bootanimation isn't working for me :(

Did exactly as dtechnology but I simply get a black screen.

Any way to get it to work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Weltevreden:
Could someone please upload the original Android bootanimation. I want to switch back but I accidentally overwritten it. Thank you so much!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovoRei:
Im already rooted+soff+eng hboot and having trouble understanding the whole process.

I need to backup my stock, wipe, then flash ROM.

How do i do a backup?

Whats is Nandroid, Clockwork, Recovery mode, ROM Manager and how to use then?

Wipe and flashing is done through recovery mode?

Is there specific recovery images for each ROM?

Thanks in advance.

------------------------------------------

If i understand correct, a recovery image need to be loaded so i can use the typical recovery options(flash, backup, wipe).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamder:
- first thing you'll need to do, is install clockworkmod rom manager from the market. it's free, but you should donate for the pro version if you like it.

- once you're in it, you'll need to press "flash recovery." it should flash the 2.5.1.2 recovery on your phone. do this twice as for some reason, doing it once doesn't get it done.

- after that you can then boot into recovery mode.

--you can either boot into recovery mode from within rom manager, or,

--you can boot into the bootloader (power off your device, and then hold the volume down button and hold the power button, and then let the power button go but keep the volume down button until the bootloader shows up) and then choose "recovery" from the menu

- once you're in recovery, you can do backups, restores, etc.

- a nandroid = full backup

- a full wipe/factory allows you to completely wipe your system so that it's ready for a new rom

- a wipe cache and a wipe dalvik (and possibly fix permissions) is what you'd usually do if you're just doing an incremental upgrade to an existing rom

- recovery 2.5.1.2 (installed from rom manager) will allow you do work with all roms except for cm7/gingerbread roms. those roms require recovery 3.x.x.x

feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, and hope that helps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adius1234:

[G Tablet General] 2manytoys:
Hey all,

I finally got a chance to test the HDMI from my Zpad Dock (I'm using a Zpad T2 / SMB-A1002-3G)

I tried two different monitors (LCD TV's) and the quality is BAD!!!!

I've already got computers connected to these TV's and the quality is very good from the computers.

The video was ok'ish but the text and home screen was so bad you wouldn't use it.

Is there a way to change the resolution to the HDMI port like on a Windows computer?

Cheers, Mal.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Did you try an hd movie.,..mine worked very well
[G Tablet General] digger44:
It looks to me like it's doing a very poor 720p upconversion. Videos will always look better than text or graphics when upconverted... but I suspect its still being upconverted from tablet screen resolution.

I'm disappointed with the quality. Maybe a future kernel or driver update will help. I also suspect this is the reason that vs didn't have (and still don't) the docks on sale next to the gtablets.

**edit**

GO JETS!!!!!!
[G Tablet General] 2manytoys:
The HD Video looks ok, but text was a much better test for me. I wanted to have a larger screen because I run RDP.

Can you adjust it anywhere. The other worry is that I somehow removed the HDMI settings when I reset my Zpad a while ago (I lost a few other programs that were not installed on ROM, eg Flash).

Thanks
[G Tablet General] digger44:
I have no settings relating to HDMI or video out at all. TNTLite 3.1.4, lagfix & clemsons 10.9.8 kernal.
[G Tablet General] byerlyblunt:
I just got my Zpad and i hooked up the HDMI and It didnt do anything. Do I need to change something in the settings? Im running Vegan-Tab. but then I pluged in the power supply and it worked fine.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Power to the dock is needed to run the HDMI. That's why a cable for HDMI out hasn't been made yet for the zpad or Gtab.
[G Tablet General] 2manytoys:
What does the text quality look like from yours.
[G Tablet General] Mrwoodchuck:
I can tell you that I have mine connected to a 1080p monitor via hdmi,

the visuals in whole look grainy, like it needs antialasing.

I just saw a video of the xoom on youtube and that guy had it connected to a 52" and I did not see the same grainy look.

I think it has to do with the resolution, ours is set at 1024 x 600 while the xoom is 1280 x 800.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the output resolution and not the tablet resolution?
[G Tablet General] 2manytoys:
Agree, it would be very handy to be able to do that.
[G Tablet General] apacolypz:
Well I had grainy text and picture issues once I received my dock. Upon replacing the hdmi cable with a high quality cable did I notice a huge difference in picture and video quality. My HD movies look great, screen size (using a projector) is beautiful and the sharpness. The screen improved ten fold. Sound, picture, resolution, 1080p! all with a 20 foot HDMI cable. Even 3D support looks great!
[G Tablet General] k2mahajan:
HDMI cable

Well, guys, where to get a good quality HDMI cable from? And does the same cable work without dock as well?
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
If you're planning on running an ICS build, i would stay away from the cable as it does not work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] listnc:
My Desire HDs cpu is always at 99%. I downloaded watchtower and saw that Settings Storage was using between 50% and 75% and htc sense normally around 20%. I've already tried a factory reset which worked for a few days then the problem just came back today.

Went into running services and stopped the 'Immediate Mode Service' under HTC Sense. This seems to solve the problem temporarily but if the phone is restarted the problem comes back. What is this Settings Storage process and how do i find a permanent solution??

Any help greatly appreciated!

Did you try enabling USB debugging? If not go to Settings -> Development and then tick the USB Debugging box.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homerr:
If you are syncing with HTC Sense, remove the account from sync and reboot

Should go back to normal.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlekhThapa:
Thanks so much. Been searching around for ages to find a fix.

Android system was showing ~70-80% CPU usage and HTC Sense ~20%. Removed my sense account on my DHD and rebooted now Android System showing <10% CPU. Will have to wait and see what impact it has on battery life.

USB debugging seems to be a fix for the /init process consuming masses of CPU. didn't haven any effect on my problem. Seems my problem was HTC Sense.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
I have the same problem.

CPU is always at 99%.

According to Watchtower, "Settings Storage" / "system_server" is using around 75~85%.

I have USB debugging ON, and I do not have HTC Sense sync on. Never have.

Restarting the phone seems to fix it for a while, but it inevitably just comes back.

Any ideas?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
Yeah, I know the debugging thing was a fix for the INIT problem, not this, but I felt I'd mention it anyway.

It seems most people resolved this problem by disabling sense sync, but since I don't have that turned on to begin with, I am not sure what I should do...

I've only had the phone for a few days now, but so far I have had to restart it on a daily basis to keep it running snappy.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
I am referring to having an HTC Sense account set to sync in the "accounts and sync" settings.

My vibrant was on the charger yesterday, when I heard the connect disconnect sound coming from my phone. I unplugged it and realized the cable was burnt and my port smelled burnt as well.

My phone was rooted and I have [ROM] Stock JK2 Froyo Flashable ZIP (built from eugene373's Odin 2E). Can someone please help me restore it to enclair 2.1 before I call t-mobile, and ask for a replacement?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
This has nothing to do with the ROM ........

Based on the information, makes me wonder if you had some sort of power surge on your charger, it is not on the phone side. Get a new usb cord (DO NOT USE THIS ONE) plug into your computer with it on and see if it recognizes, if it does, then you can Odin back to stock (read up on the sticky bible in the gen section)

If it does not recognize see if you can get into recovery. If that does not work (Assuming the phone is not fried) then you will have to go step by step and check the phone out. There alot of these diagnostics in the bible you have to read up on them. There is not enough info to really help you........:::

1. See if the phone works.............. if it is fried..........easy return

2. See if the computer recognizes------if it does reflash back to stock

3. See if you can get into recovery---if it does reflash back to stock then you should be able to reflash back to stock... this will take a bit of research and testing on the phone to see if there is damage

Hope that helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMONTER:
Thanks for the advice, I was able to get my phone back up and running. But It seems to get hardware locked when I try to get into download mode. I haven't had a chance to buy a new data USB cord to check if it connects yet.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MadBob:
I can lock my SIM Card and I can screen lock the phone (password, pattern, pin) but none of these actually lock the handset! am I being dim or is this basic function not available?

I want to lock my SIM (no problem) and lock my phone so that any time it is booted or rebooted it asks for a pin for the phone and one for the sim.

The only option I can find is to lock the lock screen, which would mean entering a pin/password/pattern every time my phone locks. I don't want to enter this 500 times a day just once when I power up.

This means my phone is completely unsecured, SAMSUNG please fix in next firmware release.

Every other phone I have had (including Samsung e.g. D780) can do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Are you serious? The phone auto locking after a set time or only when it is turned off then on? If I lose my phone when it is on I want it to time out and lock so no-one can easily access my info (there is a more serious security issue in that you can re-flash it to access). The auto lock may give me a little time to inform my network so they can ban the sim and then I can also use Samsung to remote wipe my data.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cbdrift:
Steam Kernel in the dev section has partition encryption to lock the data away and it cant be accessed without a password - even if you flash a new kernal - if you do that - you cant mount the partition - so you can only wipe it if you dont have the password.

only works on 2.2 - not 2.2.1 according to the notes

if you cant install a kernel - then its not for you as he does mention its beta software pretty much - but he did do the original lagfix - so he knows what hes on about :)

go search in the dev section
