OK, so you're hosed with your request. Apparently, the boot animation is locked until at least Cupcake. So I can get you the Cupcake boot animation no sweat. But when I flashed my G1 back down to stock 1.0 there is no way to run Super User on it. You have root access, however when running something like Terminal Emulator and type "SU" you'll still get permission denied errors even though you have root access. Lame, I know.

So for giggles, I adb pulled every file from the root of the phone. No dice. There is no animations, period. Even searching every friggin' *.png file, there is nothing there for the boot animation. I can flash a new boot animation to the phone, but all that does is mask the original one, which is hidden somewhere in the *.nbh file. However, either I am not smart enough, or there is no way to do it as of yet, but I cannot get into the *.nbh file, period.

So I figured "OK, I'll try an emulator". That also failed, as the earliest emulator I can find is the emulator for Cupcake. So I then tried to use the emulator to flash a different ROM, which failed because as it reboots it goes back to stock Cupcake. Which is lame (they should really have a save state or something).

The next step I tried was downloading an older version of the Android SDK. Again, nothing available to me until Cupcake. I could have possibly loaded it in Eclipse, but I don't have Eclipse and don't prefer to have Eclipse, and I doubt that it would have made a difference since searching every folder in the SDK packs turned up nothing. I even loaded the SDK packs on my Mac, just in case there was a different set of files. Nothing.

Since I'm still on 1.0 I did try to do an ADB Shell, but any command gives me permissions issues. It's probably because of the root issue with the stock image. I don't really know, I just know I can't do it.

So my final attempt was that I downloaded a *.nbh explorer for the Windows 7 phones, but it doesn't work because of the signing issues.

Ultimately, you're not going to be getting the boot animation from me. I've tried and failed :( Sorry man. Good luck though!

You mean the "Glowing Android" bootanimation?

I was looking for it a few weeks ago, and made my own with the resources in the 1.0 build.

It's 800x480, you might have to resize it to 320x480.

Anyway how you can save draft SMS? Its driving me nuts lol
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sure haven't:
Not to my knowledge. And to be honest I'm glad there's none. Sometimes when you're in the middle of writing a text and that person calls, or work calls, or something comes up, etc. It's nice that you don't have it building up in the draft folder, which you have to take the time to go and clear out.

It's honestly like they did a ton of research on what would make a mobile experience realllly great.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace10134:
The way you can use "drafts" is by hitting the back button until you get back to your message you were writing, then your text that you entered will still be there.

So for example: 1) Writing a text, 2) hit Windows key, 3) check email, 4) hit back key twice, 5) continue your text message.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikacz:
your example works of course, but it's not so good :( on android i sometimes used drafts to make quick notes and i could get back to them quickly. now the only way to get back to the message is to hit the back key god knows how many times, because when i do this:

write a text > hit windows key > do other things > hit messaging tile > the message is gone :(

but it won't bother me anymore, i'm going to download a nice notes application soon

anyways, my mozart is by faaaaaaaaar the best phone i ever had :) even with those missing features, but we're going to get them sooner or later
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsheyB:
This is will have to do, many thanks...

i guess like the previous poster said using a note application is one way, the only bad thing about that is copying the text is impossible into an SMS ....

I just wished there was more to messaging, each to its own :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sure haven't:
You don't have to. Open Office and go to "OneNote". It's an amazing note-taker, and you can pin the individual notes to your start screen.

Hello,

I'm looking for any devs that can answer the question posed in the subject with any possible background info. I'm hoping to be find out whether flashing recoveries on an android device in ANY way affects user data?? Also, is the Recovery part of the system or does it reside within its own "space" on the phone? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mastacheata:
Can't speak for all phone models, but I strongly believe it should apply to all systems.

The Recovery System of your phone resides in it's own memory section of the phone's internal memory and you can flash whatever recovery mod you like without changing anything to the "real" system.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vesivoe:
depending on what configuration you had before, but still this is happening sometimes. some people were writing into the official thread some time ago that it is needed sometimes to do "double flash". For example I had to flash 2 times to have all the system apps installed. If everything is all right now, you don't have to worry about it.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msturner79:
Ok, before you tell me to search, I have. For two days. I have looked at everything from forums to youtube videos on how to root the droid eris. The thing I am trying to do the unrevoked method. The thing I can't get past is in the begining. I go to the hboot screen by pressing volume down and power. I plug in my usb cable and nothing happens. I think I'm supposed to see it say hboot usb plug. It doesn't. I go to devise manager just to check and it doesn't show my phone. So I'm sure you can see my frustration not even being able to get past the first step. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Matt

Got it fixed using the 1 click root from the market. Then added XTR Sense rom. Works great.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eriscat:
Congrats and welcome to a whole new Eris!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, congratulations, and furthermore, excellent choice of a "replacement" ROM, I just recently went back to xtrSENSE after perhaps four months playing with Froyo.

FYI, I suspect the issue was you might've needed the Windows drivers for the phone loaded before using the unREVOKED method, but it's just a guess.

Install HTCSync (available from HTC's website) for the Droid Eris and that'll install the correct drivers, which will take a moment to load the first time you plug your phone in via USB next time. Also, give it a moment to load those drivers before doing anything like mounting the SD card to the computer via USB.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
I'm about to take the plunge myself. I use the Trackmaster app for recording lap times. From my research, Sense does not support the SPP (Serial Port Protocol) bluetooth profile. But, I understand that a non-sense (AOSP) ROM will have the entire bluetooth stack intact.

I've been following the tazz and shed GB threads with much admiration. It's just amazing what some folks will do for coffee money. :D And guys, I wish you all the best with your personal struggles!

My plan is to root this week. Make sure the phone remains stable. Practice that Up-Volume & Power Button thing a few times to make sure I can follow the flash procedure. Then grab GB next week.

I've read the rooting for dummies thread, and will use the one-click root app from the market. Free one first. Then if all is well I'll download the pay one.

Successful GB load will get a meal, and after I confirm my bluetooth GPS unit works with Trackmaster, coffee money will follow.

As you may be able to tell from the above sentence fragments (or maybe the straight forward I don't give a sh.t if I violate any social protocol plan) I'm a former Engineer (retired), so constructive advice / criticism is greatly appreciated. And I got the time to double-check everything. :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Alan Wolfe

Many people with less analytical skills than you have rooted, and it sounds like you've done your homework, so it should be a snap for you. The only thing I will add is to re-emphasize what you proabably have already read - that you should:

- check the file integrity of all file downloads (using MD5 sigs or "jar verify" principles for ROM files, e.g. use 'scary alien's" AFV (Androd File Verifier) free market app)

- charge the phone well before any flashing operations (and don't let it sit in HBOOT or Fastboot modes for extended period of time - it discharges rapidly, even if plugged in)

- make a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM. If things don't work out with the BT issues, you can always go back to where you were, little worse for the wear.

cheers and good luck
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
Thanks - didn't have the MD5 crypto check in the plan, but it is now.

I just can't believe how good the work being done here is. I used to contract for much poorer work for much more money! This just proves that passion beats bucks every time!

p.s. I pushed that Thanks button for you, but damned if I can tell if it worked

p.p.s Got the Thanks thing - I see it now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
One thing to add: the Gingerbread ROMs require you to download and flash a google apps .zip file before you restart the phone, unlike many other ROMs that include Google apps as part of the ROM. So, that is one more file that you need to check an MD5 hash, and the procedure will be something like this:

- download and verify the GSB/Tazz and Google apps zip files

- copy them to the root directory of the SD card, and check the MD5s there as well

- root the phone

- restart it to get the root process to install custom recovery

- restart in Recovery

- Nandroid backup what you have

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe Dalvik cache

- Flash GSB (or Tazz, whichever one you choose)

- Flash Google apps

- restart the phone
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
Interesting doogald. I understood that root should be done first before any downloading. Thanks for the above instructions! I had things a little out of order. Would you mind clarifying when the SD card format should be done? I was going to:

- root the phone

- format SD

- copy ROM and gapps

- MD5 check

- restart ... and follow your order above.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Honestly, I think that the SD card format is unnecessary. Unless I am mistaken, it was suggested in part to rule out issues people might be having moving from rooted Froyo to Gingerbread, to erase the SD card's /.android_secure hidden folder - where apps that are moved to SD Card in Froyo are stored. That will not be an issue for you if you are stock Eris.

However, it won't hurt to do it, and that would be the step that it should be done.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
Thanks again. Its nice to get confirmation.

Ignorant question - The one-click root app says to "reboot" the eris. How do you reboot the eris?

I searched forum - read the whole one-click app thread - googled "reboot eris" and got nothing.

NEVERMIND!!! I turned the phone off, vol - & power, select recovery with vol +, then select reboot.

And I got a Superuser Permission... widget now. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I could tell. :) The way you wrote reminded me of myself, at least from time to time. And probably even more often how I think.

FYI rebooting the phone at it's simplest is just telling the phone to shut down the Android OS and then boot it back up. This doesn't have to involve actually shutting the power off to the phone but it can if you so choose. Also, some ROMs and/or through some apps/widgets, you can explicitly command your phone to "reboot" from within the Android interface. I just didn't want you to think that any time a "reboot" is needed, that you have to boot into recovery and choose the "reboot" option from there.

It's just like a reboot on a computer. Actually powering the computer off isn't really necessary to affect a reboot.

Welcome to root and XDA!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
Thanks!

I saw a lot of references to Titanium Backup so I DLed the free version. Its happy now after I enabled USB Debugging and download from Unknown sources. So now that I have double checked I Know I got root now.

Oh, and since I confirmed root I uninstalled the one-click root app and made a donation to the San Antonio Food Bank.

There are two Skype apps for Android: a "special" one for VZW that does not work with WiFi (at least on the Eris it does not), and a real version that does work over WiFi. The VZW version will use Verizon minutes to make calls to phone numbers but 3G for Skype to Skype (and international calls.)

Rooting Problem

I attempted to use the one click rooting app, I rebooted the phone and can get into Hboot, when i click on recovery I don't get Amon's recovery I just get the Red Triangle with the picture of the Eris.

How do I fix this?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
It sounds like you did not reboot the phone before you tried to get into HBOOT or recovery. I know that the steps listed in 1-click are a bit cryptic, but after you run the 1-click app to get root you actually have to restart the phone - shut it down and then restart, as if you wanted to make a phone call - and then shut down and try to get into Recovery. It's when you start the phone as if you were making a phone call that Amon's Recovery gets installed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfrank20:

Yes, you have 2.2 and rooted phone.

Worth a look at the 2.2 or 2.3 roms and themes though as once you are rooted it is just a case up putting the zip in the right directory of your sd card and installing it in openrecovery
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darko1515:
ok. After reading the forum about rooting i have some questions.

I have downloaded from GOT homepage the RETAIL EUROPE (RTEU) fireware. According to the guide...first I have to flash with rds light the GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL and then with 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0' root the phone and then apply custom roms.

My question is that I do not have to wipe data + cache + dlavik cache before applying ANY roms, lik 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' - and this meaning that i have to instal first 'G.O.T OpenRecovery V2.0'.

By flashing with rds light 'GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL' means that I didn't apply a rom?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
SBFs are usually a bit different then normal ROMs. They usually wipe the entire phone and radio firmware and other stuff.

If you use and SBF file using rsd, you are now on a different motorola version/platform.

I would recommend NOT stopping there. The GOT sbf is a useful starting point because it does 2 things at once: the vulnerable recovery and the new radio files. But as an operating system...it is FULL of bugs. It is a motorla leak from something like october.

There have been MANY since then. I would apply CM6 or at the very least a more recent moto leak (the 1-25 nandroid wors very well).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darko1515:
where do I find CM6?

'HO!NO! CM6 mod by HO!NO! (As of now, this must be applied over CM6 as nandroid. Please ensure that the version of HO!NO! complies with whichever version of CM6 you are using. '

or 1-25 nandroid

then use OpenRecovery-3_3 to upgrade 'update-cm-6.1.2-0.07-11.01.28-Milestone-signed' 0.07-11.01.2 and that should be it?

You are forgetting 2 important steps (read the CM6 install instructions)

1) Do a "WIPE DALVIK CACHE" and "WIPE CACHE PARTITION before installing CM

(you can do this from Open Recovery or Androidiani recovery).

2) You need to install the latest GAPPS for CM6 (check the CM6 guide for link) or you won't have Gmail, Market and all other Gstuff.

You need the HDPI version. To install, simply put the zip file in the same folder as CM6 and and follow the same process. (Place in openrecovery/updates and use the install update.zip feature of open recovery.

You will have all google stuff after this.
