Ok gang, I wanted to post this up yesterday but got a bit tired. I set have these apk files with 3 mods in each. Please enjoy them and please give credit if you use them. I want to give credit to the original app from "mjdev" I took the images and changed them to my liking and I hope you like them as well.

Sorry about that people. Like a knucklehead I signed the zip instead of the files. So its up and running please excuse my mess up.

[Droid X General] Stan04GT:
I've been having a problem with my Droid X for the past week where the dialer is draining the battery like crazy. The other day I unplugged my phone from the charger and 3 hours later it was down to 30% with very little use. I checked the battery manager and the dialer was right at the top using most of the battery. I tried to do a wipe but that hasnt helped at all. I am rooted using z4root. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm not sure on how to load up a new ROM, I'm new to the whole android modding area.

Has a bunch of general info for starting out. I am trying to do an overview of a bunch of the Rom's but have been busy with some testing lately. My recommendation if you are interested in a ROM is to take a nandroid backup. Then go to the droid X android development forum and check out the ROMs there. Read each description and the dev will have install instructions as well. =)

Good luck and post back if you have questions

I just signed up with tmobile and got a Optimus t for free. My last phone was a blackjack 2 so this is a big upgrade for me. I've been reading all the android hacking threads. There was a couple things I couldn't quite figure out.

1. I'll install z4root and root the device. Do I need any other software to remove the pre installed junk from t mobile?

2. I may want to add some roms or change the kernel. What program do I use for backing up my device?

Thanks

new 2 android

welcome to android you will notice a big difference in software and customizability. but i digress . to awnser your question once rootrd you can remove all those pesky junk apps as i think of them such as kindle and blockbuster my solution was root uninstaller but first you will need superuser permissions one suggestion is to get rom mannager from the market and once installed in the rom manager app run whats called fix permissions should just be just a click away the phone will run script for about five minutes while it frees up the permissions by granting all apps super user permissions then once that has happined you can go into the root uninstaller aplication and get rid of that stock junk (note this is without running custom rom seeing as i encountered the same problem due to i recently got the cliq2 and so far cannot run custom rom as of yet to my knowllege)

My Captivate has never been very good. It has a bad AT&T update server thing, it randomly presses the search button for no reason, its laggy and the internet doesn't always work, even if I have a good signal. I'm looking for another android phone, but not a Samsung. I want to be able to sell this

Captivate that is 2.2 and rooted w/ Evo Black Bar mod. It is in fairly good condition and I've had it for 3 months. And using the money I sold it for, for another phone. Right now i'm really looking into the HTC Inspire 4g, but should I wait awhile longer to see if a better phone comes out soon. I've always liked the HTC Sense UI, so I'd want it to be an HTC phone.

Well, got myself a tab just today. Playing around discovered that allshare doesnt display folder structure as its served from my PC via Twonky.

My PS3 and SGS can see structure alright, but tab mashes all my videos into single folder, which makes navigating impossible.

What gives ?

Try skifta from market
[Galaxy Tab General] sliex:
The only client i found to work is AllShare.

Twonky says "Cant start playback" for whatever reason, Skifta, says something like "player not compatible" or "not connected" or some other stuff.

I use twonky server to serve stuff, and my SGS gladly plays anything i throw at it (except MKV, which was expected), so does my tab but only via broken AllShare that piles all the shared stuff into single folder. And there are hundreds of files to scroll through...
[Galaxy Tab General] stefan.lilov:
Try iMediaShare. It is free in Android Market
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
I found that the only working soultion is to use Plex.

It has however three issues: it's not free, dosen't do subtitles, and if you want a folder structure, you need to add the folders one by one. Subtitles aside i'm happy with the result.

[Galaxy Tab General] sliex:
Well, some months passed by, i thought i'd check this thread.

So, anyone figured out how to run DLNA.apk/odex from SGS on SGT ?

I mean i have lloads of devices that use my TwonkyMedia server (v4.4.4) to stream stuff, but not tab, because of its useless dlna app.

Twonky dlna client became paid and it wasnt any good to begin with, plex wants to use its own server, which is redundant, skifta is spotty performance at best...

Would happily run SGS allshare.... Tried again replacing SGT DLNA/ODEX without success. Cannot install post deletion, it complains that "it's a sys app, do you want to replace" and then fails to install.

Replacing manually (in system/app) wants to install...

Out of ideas...
[Galaxy Tab General] absolutab:
I used upnplay and imediashare (both free on the market) with success on my tab. You may need a player that supports certain codecs, like rockplayer or mobo player (there are free versions of both on the market).

These work great with my synology NAS streaming.

Since gingerbread, allshare started working well for me. Before this it showed the server but couldn't see any files.

I was getting really fantastic battery life until today when I installed dolphin hd. I'm not sure why, but the moment I installed that, my battery could literally be watched dropping, even when it wasn't open. Once I got rid of it, my battery life then went right back to being great as it was before. The odd thing is, under battery usage, it wasn't showing up when it wasn't running, yet as it was the only change I made, and the sole factor in the change in battery life, I'm positive that's what it was. I'm curious how many people experiencing bad battery drain are using this browser.

[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I have all these and my battery life is fine, I don't think you get what I said at all. I think dolphin could be the cause of so many people having battery troubles, as once I installed it I started experiencing the same things they said, and then once I uninstalled it the problem was gone. I am back to about 1% an hour drop hen in standby, however with the dolphin installed (even when it wasn't running and I wasn't connected to wifi or 3g) I was dropping about 5-10% just in standby per hour.

freex10 severe Battery drain with latest X10i official SE update.

Running Beta 4 after factory SE updated yesterday on my X10i. I have severe battery drain. 89% after loading the freex10 beta4 with apps zip install and a TI restore of all my prior progs. Left the phone plugged in and charging overnight and this morning it was 4%. I am not using any special browsers. I am using Advanced Task Killer and killed all the programs before leaving the phone. Any ideas??
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I really wish there was a way to dual boot with xrecovery.. that way we could use stock SE during the day because it has better battery life, and when we are near a charger :p we can use 2.2
[XPERIA X10 General] davtfor:
I had the battery drain problem where I was losing 5 - 10% per hour after upgrading to beta 4. While I cannot prove it I think the drain is related to the baseband upgrade and how it interacts with 3g on AT&T. I can't turn off data as this is my work e-mail device. After some experimentation I found that switching to 2g "fixed" the problem. I took my phone off the charger 4 hours ago and with moderate e-mail use, 1 30 minute phone call and some XDA and web browsing I am at 91%. I added the 2g/3g to the power control widget and can quickly switch to 3g when I want/need the additional speed.

One other unintended benefit I found from 2G. For some reason my phone will not drop in certain areas where I drop calls every time I am on 3g.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bryan858:
Possibly due to wifi?

Ok guys so I re-did the OE factory SE update and re-did the xrecovery to redo freex10 beta4. all went well but I was to sleepy to setup the wifi. This morning my phone was fully charged and ready to go. I came into work and turned the wifi on to use on our network. Phones been on standby and wifi is set to be off with the display. Its only been 3 hours and my phone is at 10%. Why is wifi drawing so much power even when not in use?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cebees:
So far I saw many causes in 2.2, check my list here

> Dolphin HD (from this OP? - unconfirmed)

> Stock Email get partial wakelock with exchange server.

> Dialer - partial wakelock (you might not feel it, but it is, compared to 2.1)

> Dialer - drainage when turn 'turn to silence' on (Call setting)

For Dolphin, well as I trusted in android system, I believe there might be something else 'between' dolphin and the battery, I don't think it's the dolphin itself. Since it doesn't report anywhere between spareparts or battery usage, or even CPU usage. I must admit that 2.1 is doing better in term of 'system stability' (not about hanging, crashing - but to handle when something go wrong)

I also must admit that using ATK in 2.2 is likely cause trouble, I used to have battery trouble and there was no way out before I turned to ATK. well, thing got 'weird' (it was not worse) If you feel something wrong, 3G trouble, some stupid force close, try disable ATK.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bryan858:
I never used ATK in the fresh install. Posibly the stock E-mail however I haven't set that up either. Its a shame as the rom is real good and appears stable other than the battery drain issue. I've already tried the Xrecovery wipe of battery stats, cache, etc with no luck. I may just stick with the factory SE rom till freex10 is no longer a beta..

I have been looking for the last couple days for this...

I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!

I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.

I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM

OR

how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??

Any help is appreciated!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.

I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"

I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!

I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.

My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:

480 800 30

p 0 0 part0

which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!

I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??

It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?

Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...

Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.

Problem Solved!

Just want to give everybody a heads up about fastboot on the Evo. First I'll give a little background of the things I have done with my phone.

Root & Nand Unlock

Running CM7 Nightly build #26

Custon Splash Screen and Bootloader

Nothing special about it but it was a work in progress..

Now onto the warning.

I had my phone in fastboot mode working on pushing a different Splash Screen to my phone when I realized that I was late for picking my girl up from work. Looking back now this was a dumb idea, but I decided to just leave and pick her up and I would finish when I came back. Meaning that I left my phone plugged into the computer in fastboot mode and I had the command prompt up as I was typing in the code to push the image. When I returned home my phone was off. I also realized that the charging light wasn't on. I tried turning on the screen and nothing. Tried booting into recovery and nothing again. So i decided to unplug it from the computer and plug it straight into the wall hoping that might help. I was wrong. 30 minutes later still no charging light at all. Not even blinking. Not exactly sure what caused the bricking of my Evo. If it was leaving it in the fastboot screen to long, having it plugged into my computer, having the command prompt up or maybe a combination of all of them.

So moral of the story is don't do this lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Wow, sorry to hear that. Have you tried removing the battery for a couple minutes? then put back in and plug in to charge?

My sisters phone was absolutely dead and wouldnt come on and no charge light. It took several attempts of pulling the battery, re-inserting it before the charge light came back on. (If im not mistaken the phone does not charge in fast boot, so maybe your battery is super dead like hers)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:

Fantastic call!!!! My girl also has an Evo so I stole her battery and put it in my phone and presto it works just fine. So now I have my battery in her phone on the charger.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Glad to help, and glad you got it going again! What a relief for you! Yea, these batteries don't like to die completely, despite what some people say. The fact is, lithium polymer/lithium ion batteries don't like to be drained to 0. But at least it's just a bad battery. Check on ebay, I've heard good results about some of the cheap ones on there. And best buy also has a 1750mah battery, that is the same physical size as stock, but has a little more juice (stock is 1500mah). Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventer289:
You can pick up a brand new OEM battery off of Amazon for $13. I'd go that route before the 1750 mAh batteries off eBay. The tests I've seen show they actually have less capacity than the stocker.

Also, this may be kind of pseudosciency but try putting the battery in the freezer for a few minutes and then popping it right on a charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obrien84:
It's so wierd because my phone was fully charged when I left the house. So unless fastboot drains your battery like "super quick" I am shocked to say the least. I'm willing to try anything with the current battery I have so I might take the advice of "eventer289" and throw it in the freezer and then on the charger. Not sure what I will do yet if I have to purchase another battery but one thing is for sure, my girl is definitely not going to let me keep her battery so whatever I decide I am going to have to do it quick lol. Thanks again for all the advice
