I'm trying to make a backup of my current rom and when I go to Rom Manager and choose Backup current rom, it then says can't mount system. I then tried going directly into recovery to try it from there and it says the samething. Anybody else having this problem or is there something I'm doing wrong? When I first rooted my G2 I was able to backup my Stock Rom but now I can't.

I'm running GingerVillain 1.4 if that's any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] zainqaiser:
Its bcoz u have old recovery...u need to flash new clockworkmod recovery 3.....coz gingerbread uses ext4 system....which old recoveries do not support
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] zainqaiser:
U just have to download the new recovery.img file which u can find in this forum easily....put that file in the root of the sd card....then open terminal on ur phone n type these commands:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

reboot recovery

Thats it....n remember to rename the file to recovery.img if its already not that...coz that makes it easy to type n remember...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] zainqaiser:
Then u'll have the new recovery....and u can easily backup and restore ur gingerbread roms....for froyo roms u need the old recovery...for that the easiest way is to flash recovery via rom manager....hope this helps...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gibi310:
Thanx guys! It works now. I didn't know there was CWM3 but after flashing the new recovery img it works perfectly

after flashing android revolution HD 2.0.9 and the recommended radio Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF , i noticed more cpu usage by system process suspend , and its draining battery so far i've looked everywhere and couldnt get any helpful answer.

i installed after full wipe flash , cleaned everything possible but still i have toe same problem.

i faced this once when i applied the 1.72 OTA but it was resolved after factory resetting the phone twice (dunno why it didnt resolve after the 1st reset).

please any help from the experts is much much appreciated. thx

Have you reset battery stats?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
i did wipe batterystats with CWM recovery , or u mean manual batterystats.bin delete ? will it make any difference ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
Solved

Im sharing my humble experience with battery and cpu usage in this rom , well suspend process and battery/CPU usage went normal now thank god, i was getting paranoid about it. (used to be around 10%-30% usage on idle and draining battery).

What i did was charging the phone full to 100% till battery monitor widget stopped recording charges,then i wiped battery stats using CWM recovery. so after a few hours of monitoring i noticed idle cpu usage is around 1%-3% no more

battery drain is around 1%-2% per hour now.

I do still have 3D gallery and htcsense account active.

ROM : Android revolution HD 2.0.9 (2.2.1 based)

Radio : Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF

SetCPU 245-1228 ondemand governor , no profiles.

Wifi + mobile network + gps active + autosync + 4 email accounts syncing

Using many apps and widgets syncing at 1hr-4hrs interval.

I recommend anyone facing same problems to do as i did.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yoopyoop:
Compared to stock out-of-the box Coby tablet? Yes. But compared to a rooted w/ market stock ROM, not really.

I love CyanogenMod, and I've been running it on my Droid for quite some time now. But the CyanogenMod ROM for the Coby tablet doesn't really improve much, and it actually hurts functionality in a few areas. I believe it is slightly faster than the stock ROM, and you gain a few custom features, but you pretty much lose all video playback including Youtube.

I'd recommend just rooting it and adding the market as explained in the "Getting the most out of Eclair" thread.

Need Help with Coby 7015a

Can somebody help me ! I have the Coby 7015a model. I downloaded the update from Coby and I don't know if it was the old update or the new update ! I completed all the directions from newbie friendly guide for rooting and google market install on windows. I got to the part where the "su" is entered and the $ is suppose to change to #. Didn't happen ! I get the message about superuser, but the symbol is still $. If I type in the flash_image info, it comes back with flash_image: permission denied. I very frustrated and this is my first exprience with one of these so I am definitly a "newbie" ! My sister bought this for my 90 year old mom who loves to read but is starting to have trouble seeing. She can read with this but I haven't be able to download any books ! Any advice will be greatly appreciated !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yoopyoop:
What it boils down to is that Coby made it slightly more difficult to root this latest version. Your best bet is probably to go over to the Androidtablets.net forum and read through the sticky posts at the top of the Coby forum. Especially the post titled "New update.zip from Coby (build MID7015A 1.6a 1/26/11)". It should have all the details for you.

So I am in need of some willing individuals that wouldn't mind taking some time to make a stellar guide to top all guides for first time users and veterans alike. After searching for hours for something that I thought was simple and easy, I decided to do something about it. I came up with a great idea, but can't do it alone.

The format will have a wiki feel to it, but allow the user to narrow down what they're looking for a lot quicker without having to scroll through a giant wall of text to find it. Eventually, many main topics will be integrated into my choose your adventure video project currently in the works.

As there will be main sections to this "guide", we will be working as a team to create a unique experience for us here in these forums to make the information flow user friendly, evolve with the time, and be right at our fingertips. I have some great people on board already and we're excited to get started, but here's what we're looking for:

-1 individual knowledgeable with the Mac OS for vibrant/android integration

-1 to 2 individuals very familiar with ADB and commonly used commands as well as rooting in general

-1 to 2 individuals familiar with the extraction, compilation, and signing processes for theming

-1 to 2 individuals for general app help/reviews

-1 to 3 individuals to help with general info and maintenance of the guide

In addition, all individuals should know their way around Microsoft Word (pref '07+)

If you think you fit the bill, the best way to let me know is to shoot me a PM with your qualifications, or you can respond below and I'll do my best to keep an eye out. The initial time investment will probably be in the neighborhood of 1-3 hours depending on how we decide to arrange the layout. After that, it should be minimal to maintain unless you feel like going overboard.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Trying to make it flashable through recovery, and I think on 7zip I used normal, but i'll check into that after I get home.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
After creating your bootanimation -- You need to make sure that a couple things have been done correctly for the bootanimation to 1) Work and 2) Be able to be flashed via recovery.

1) To make the bootanimation work

a. Make sure that after creating the animation itself that the .zip you create has NO compression -- (e.g You use "store" mode, instead of "normal" -- both 7zip/Winrar have this feature)

b. Make sure the desc.txt file is properly formatted and has the correct folder names inside the file. Also make sure you have a carriage return (press enter) at the VERY last line of your desc.txt file

c) Make sure the .png filenames are somewhat sequential and organized. (e.g. BootUp001, BootUp002, BootUp003, etc)

2a) To make a flashable package

a. First create a folder to house the bootanimation and you'll also need to explicitly define the folder names that you want the animation to be pushed to. (e.g -- Inside lets say the "MyBootanimation" folder -- you should have three folders; they're names respectively are:: system/customize/resource

Inside the resource folder is where your newly created bootanimation.zip will go.

2b) To make the package flashable and work in recovery; you'll need a update-script file which should be in a folder called:: META-INF (ALL CAPS); inside that folder should reside, three more folders:: com/google/android/. The update-script file will go INSIDE the android folder.

I've attached a simple update-script file that will make your package flashable. Unzip the "Extract-ME" file and you'll find the file.

So, to get this to work, you'll open the "MyBootanimation folder and inside it should reside to folders (system (and it's subfolders); which houses the bootanimation and META-INF (and it's subfolders); which houses the update-script). You need to select both files and zip them up in NORMAL mode, not "store" mode. This will create your new package, which you then need to sign via whatever method you use. I use command line and I'd like not to explain that if I don't have to.

here's the file i'm working on if someone wants to take a look at it and tell me what i'm doing wrong that would help me out a lot.if you can i would like to know what is wrong so for future use and the knowledge.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/bootanimation1.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
Lemme know if this helps...

Two noticeable things:

1. Your images are 850 x 400 (resize all to 800 x 450)

2. Your .zip file is not arranged right.(look at my attached file, should give you an idea)

Your file is way too big to upload here so attaching the base file here for you to work with.

- First, zip the android folder,part2 folder and the desc.txt file as a storage, and name the file bootanimation.zip.

- Second, 7zip my file and navigate to customize>resource and replace the file there with the one you created in the previous step.

- Close and flash the file (This is in amend so you might want to use clockwork 2x (or equivalent RA) to flash it. Feel free to change the update script if you wish)

I tried this on my myn RLS5, works like a charm. Might want to change the desc.txt to match the image dimensions. (800 x 450)

I hope this helps.

PS: I Like the minion animation. :)

here's a working one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/minionsdisco1.zip. how do i speed it up to play more like the movie.

ps thanks to pseudoremora,theidlemonk for helping me figure out what i was doing wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
pm me your email...I'll send the file over...i am having trouble uploading it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
First and foremost -- I don't know whose method recommended that you leave the "system" folder out of the flashing process, but that's a very incorrect way of doing this.

I've stated earlier that you need THREE folders -- SYSTEM, customize, and resource. You only have customize and resource. Your customize folder (and it's subfolders) needs to be placed inside a folder labeled "system".

Secondly, the command you're using in the update-script, while it will work now; will not work if someone decides to change the structure of your package in the future. The update-script I uploaded earlier allows for future flashing because anything placed inside the "system" folder (which Android 100% relies on) will always be flashed, as long as the structure is correct within the system folder.

You should remove the update-script you have now and place this one inside it (if you decide to use the method I've stated above). I've attached the file below (extract first).

Lastly, quite frankly; I've never seen a 60MB bootanimation before and to be honest, that's just unbelievably huge. You need to figure out either how to shorten your animation or to compress it in a manner which will lower its size.

Also, the native resolution for the EVO is 480 x 800 and not 450 x 800 for future reference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
ok thanks,how would i compress it to make it smaller? and i want to speed it up to run more like the movie. i have it working it just runs kinda slow?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
Not sure if you are on windows, but if you are then pngoptimizer does the trick (should be able to do multiple pngs at a time) and its free online. Also on windows I had an issue with the bootanimation.zip because windows kept adding the thumbs.* file in the two folders other than the desc.txt...that made my animation choppy. Just 7zip into you file and delete if you see it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
thanks for your help on this, i'm looking for any ideas on how to compress this to make it smaller in size(without losing any animations) i have been usiing 7zip to compress it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
pngoptimizer as theidlemonk recommended should be used for each PNG file and hopefully should bring down the size a bit. Otherwise; it really comes down to cutting the animation.

I'm not saying you can't push a 60MB file onto your phone as a bootanimation; but I think it's huge waste of space for such a thing. You have to remember; we're only talking about the bootanimation here and quite frankly, the EVO tends to boot up rather quickly, so trying to show a clip from a movie really shouldn't be your goal -- if anything, you can take bits and pieces from the clip and use that instead.

Personally, I try to make my bootanimations minimal and light. The important part of the animation is actually the looping; so concentrate on that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
i'll look into pngoptimizer, now would i set eveything up the same for loop(with fewer animations)like i said this is the first one i have ever tried to make(i hope i get better as i do more) how would i add sound to one. and thx again guys for putting up with me and for all the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
I'd advise you take a look at this post and this one also. I wrote that quite some time ago, however it's still very much applicable today.

Edit:: It's actually probably good to read the posts from pages 15, 16, and probably 17 as well in the links I've posted above.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
what would you guys say is the best png optimizer to (less loss, better compression)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Both of us just told you.

Use pngoptimizer. The program itself optimizes each png, taking away any erroneous data and leaves everything else intact; thus giving you a smaller .png file. Doing this for EACH .png file will result in a smaller bootanimation file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
PNGs can be optimized just so much, I would rather think more on the lines of what pseudoremora said: Cutting down animation to keep it minimal and light. Looping will also be a big part as you have over 300 images. Looping would reuse images and allow cutting of parts. (I hope I made sense).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Ok I wasn't sure if that was the name of it or a program type, Googled it and got a bunch of different ones just wanted to make sure. And yes I know its a large file and I will take both of your advice and cut it down. Again thanks for the time and help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crackanug:
Hopefully this is a helpful tidbit, you can use .jpeg file format for the pics. I was under the impression that you had to use .png's too, but by accident I saved my animation frames as .jpegs unknowingly and they worked just fine. In fact the Halo boot animation I created is all .jpeg This cut down on the overall size and sped up the animation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
heres one i made if someone wants to take a look at it and help me fix any problems, i need a fresh set of eyes. Thx http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/minions2.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
I've finished editing the bootanimation.

Download the file and flash it via the recovery. Note that this file was specifically created to work on a Sense ROM (/system/customize/resource).

To see what was changed, pull the bootanimation.zip out and extract it; then look at the changes I've made. Every change that I made was stated earlier in my very initial post.

Again, I can't reiterate this enough...you need to concern yourself with the LOOPING and NOT the initial animation. As it stands, your bootanimation will play very slowly and then before people can even have a chance to see the loop; the phone will more than likely already be booted up.

Also, consider the size your png files. Instead of 450 x 800 -- make them smaller; it can be more fluid. Consider resizing the png files to 480 x 480.

Lastly, look at the changes made in the file I've created. Look at not only the structure of how it's packaged but also the bootanimation itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
cool thanks, tried the loop must have done something wrong it keep looping. so smaller will help with the speed. and i switched to jpegs thinking that would help with file size and speed. but i will open up the one you made so to see how it should go together. thanks again
