Successfully Flashed Splash Screen in Fastboot

I have! I just used AlphaRevX to get S-Off yesterday and while I was at it I installed a new splash screen! :) I was reading several threads in the desire forums and played around with it til i could get mine to work. :)

(Original Thread) [HOW TO] HTC Desire Custom Splash screen

Just use the thread listed above with one exception. With the Aria you need to be sure that when you save your BMP the resolution needs to be 320x480, not 480x800. It would probably be a good idea to change the values when you use nbimg too.

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 320 -h 480

Even though i didn't notice it make a difference when I did it.

Hope this helps out anyone else with an Aria who wants to change their splash screen. :D
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] panpjp:
Try these:

1.)Put update.zip of cwm recovery onto ur sd(If you don't know how google it!)

2.)Power off ur Aria(Uncheck Power> Fastboot in settings first)

3.)Enter Fastboot.(VOL DN+POWER)

4.)Select RECOVERY

5.)You will get a warning signal, ignore it, just press VOL UP+POWER

6.)Navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" or something similar

7.)Reboot

8.)To check, power on your phone and type into terminal:

su

reboot recovery

9.)You're done!

I don't know if this will work or not(I owned a Desire, not Aria)But try if you have time!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjakie2.0:
Hi everyone,

I've been reading these boards for a while now, and THINK I know howto flash my phone now. (HTC Desire GSM)

However, I've bricked a phone before (HTC Magic) and I'm not looking forward on doing so again, so I'm taking caution ;-)

I've tried to follow this how-to:

HTC_Desire_GSM:_Full_Update_Guide

(Cannot post the URL, but it's easy to find)

But I get stuck at step 2 already! It says to use the 'unrevoked method' to root my device, which looks pretty simple, but just doesn't work for me.

If I boot in HBOOT, my PC doesn't recognize my phone in any way, also my phone doesn't display 'USB PLUG' or whatever it is that's supposed to appear.

If I connect my phone while it's turned on it DOES get recognized, but when running the unrevoked software it gives me an error after comfirming I want to run the program.

Also, I cannot install the custom USB driver, Windows just tells me the driver is already up2date.

Wonder what I'm doing wrong here..

Also, nearly every single tutorial tells me to make a NANDROID backup before I do anything. But I need to flash a custom recovery before I'm able to do so right?

Any advise or answer is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Sjakie
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Why does everyone get confused on the 'HBOOT USB' bit??

If you read the instructions you'll see that seeing HBOOT USB on the screen as an option is ONLY FOR THE EVO 4G - everyone else will see it AFTER they connect the phone to the PC

Other than that it's a driver issue so go to the unrEVOked website and follow their guide
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevAmiga:
"Also, nearly every single tutorial tells me to make a NANDROID backup before I do anything. But I need to flash a custom recovery before I'm able to do so right?"

Yep.... nandroid is part of the CW/AmonRA recovery. Essential if you ever want to roll back to a stock setup.

Hi,

Is anyone willing to sell an Unlocked "Dell Venue Pro" - If you are anywhere near seattle i can pick it up.

I am an indian, and the phone sells for $750+ over here.
[Venue Pro General] BerryCodes:
You won't find it unlocked. But you can unlock a locked one. Look at this thread in another discussion:

Hello people,

I just came across following amazing win 7 theme on I9000 forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910918

I was wondering if it is possible to port on captivate and if yes, which ROM will support it?

thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sold1erjjt:
On the page it says' for Doc's or Darky's. I'd try a JS3 or JS5 ROM to be sure, test it and let me know how it is. Also it says you need Launcher Pro + to re-size icons.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Wondering if anyone has a solution here, AVI and MKV have issues playing. The MKVs are 720p HD tv shows, and the audio is great, but the video is choppy\slow-mo. Has anyone managed to find a player or a method to resolve this? I know this has been discussed in other forums, but related to different phones, so curious if there's a specific fix to this phone, or if a 720p is just too much for the Inspire 4G to handle. I wouldn't think so since last year's iPhone 3G and 3GS and 4 can handle it just fine.... I'm thinking something is wrong or I'm using the wrong app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I don't think the stock video player can do it, so you'll have to try some third party apps like VPlayer, RockPlayer, and Act 1. Let us know if any of those three get the job done. I'm curious too. Otherwise we may need to convert videos.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
VPlayer - Same

RockPlayer - Same

Act 1 - Same

None of these seem to work. I wonder if it's the way my videos are encoded? I sure hope not, because all the MKV files I download from the torrents of tv shows I miss are formatted the same way. They always played fine on iPhone

Anyone else experience this issue and find a resolution?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
maybe the class of your SD Card, for anything above 720p a class 6 card is needed
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Oh really? I don't see any Class 6 or higher on Amazon. Mine is a class 4. Can the Inspire 4G even benefit from class 6? I'm able to watch them off the memory card on my class 4 when plugged into my computer just fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
the desire hd can support all class cards including class 10, so i cant see why the inspire cant either.

Yea class 4 should be ok i would think? Have you tried different size files?

Is anybody else having trouble like this ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I have 2 inspire 4g devices, and have tried both a Class 2 and a Class 4 card. I ordered a Class 10 from Amazon (they only had up to 16gb, not the 32GB like my class 4), so I'll report back tomorrow when it arrives.

The file I'm using is a 1.09GB MKV file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rruckster:
I have yet to purchase the Inspire and this problem is one of the reasons that I am waiting. FWIW I have read many complaints from users having this problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] andycai:
I have the same issue

It happens on G1, Streak and Inspire. However, cheap Archos doesn't this issue. Isn't that ironic? I was trying to copy the Archos player but no success...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Clearly it's either the way my video is encoded, or the lack of proper decoder on the android. I am at the end of my rope trying to resolve. I didn't like my iPhone because it's incompatibilities, and everyone with Android said "get an Android cause it'll decode anything" ... lol... wonder if we'll ever have a solution to decode a mkv properly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yareally:
You do realize that your phone is only capable of show video resolution up to 400p? MKV is mostly used for HD rips because it ends up having the best quality after compression, but your phone is not HD in the sense that it is over a standard definition television vertical wise (watching it in wide screen format).

Anything bigger will have to be scaled down by the player, sucking up battery life and you wont notice a quality difference. Aside from that, forcing your device to play something higher res will suck the battery life as well because it will be more intensive on the cpu. Why dont you just use xvid rips in avi format? Everything that's ripped in mkv is always ripped in xvid as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah that's what I'm going to do is just rework the files. Any suggestion on an easy program for MAC to convert MKV to avi?

Thank you much!
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
I am using avi format xvid and it still can't play anything in hd. My captivate plays the same files fine wtf.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Nevermind vplayer works for xvid avis I wonder why the stock player won't play any of them....
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah, the processing power is certainly there so I guess it's just an issue of improper codec execution :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] yareally:
Not sure on a player to watch them on android. I would just go through the top ones on the market place and do trial and error :)

I dont have a computer with osx on it currently, but VLC (the PC/OSX version) does convert file formats as well and it's free.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah none worked. I think it's just the issue of the MKV file. They don't work on iPhone with any of the players either, I think it just takes more power and video processing to handle them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] idanoclo:
Try xyflash, i used this on iphone. Android market has it also so i tried it. It plays 720p mkv bleach videos and sub titles work using mkv sub extractor. Not the best but it does the job i think
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Did you guys try lower resolution files but coded in mkv?

Will the Atrix be capable of running 720p mkv files?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I don't even see an app by that name on the market. You realize that not everything for iPhone is for android, and vice versa, right?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoonyheim:
So!

Today I tried to make it through a day with the stock battery over my normal daily driver battery, my seidio 3500 battery.

Here's what I got.

I am a pretty heavy user, using music for a couple hours a day, browsing the internet and xda forum app a couple hours a day, youtube, and alot of other miscellaneous games and other apps.

After school (in which I don't have the best service, during one class I even have to put my phone into airplane mode due to lack of service in one building) I had around 25% left. Normally with my 3500 I'm around 60-70 depending on if classes are boring or not. Normally in chem, c++ and differential equations i'm on my phone (so roughly 5 hours of use) and then I have a break where I use the phone as well.

It's now midnight and for me my phone is at like 5% and although I made it through the day, had I not been plugged in for flashing the night build #40 for CM7 I'd be dead easily.

So what's the point of this thread?

Just to sort of give my experiences with the stock battery after using the giant beast for around 5 months.

Any questions about the battery I'll try and answer!

was running cm7 39 today and also using the incredikernal with smartass on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_live_lee:
I'm a pretty heavy user as well. I have 2 stock 1300s and a Seidio slim 1750. I had originally considered a 3500 but I couldn't bring myself to fatten up my phone. I work 12 hour shifts and I usually burn through one stock battery between 4 and 6 hours into a shift, then switch to the Seidio, which usually carries me til I go to bed (around 8 or 9 hours). Or if its a late night, I can fall back on the other stock battery once the 1750 gives up the ghost. I know it seems like a lot of batteries to carry around but, I have to say, I feel like its worth it, considering that my phone is comfortably pocketable. I usually keep the spares in my lunch bag or my truck til needed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoonyheim:
definitely i can see most peoples reason to not get the 3500.

I got it cause I don't really have a problem with having a bigger phone, and I kinda like the way it feels with the larger battery cause i have really big hands and so the stock back + battery just feels to small in my hand =(

I just am glad that the incredible has alot of battery options =)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I use an 1800 battery and when that dies i switch over to my stock. Its not too bad carrying an extra battery and i rarely use it the 1800 usually gets me through the day.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_live_lee:
I can definitely see your point regarding the feel of the thicker phone in your hand. I had never thought of it in that aspect. I have large hands as well. If I find myself in the market for a new battery in the near future, I may try a 3500 out. :-) On a side note, and not trying to hijack your thread but, I noticed you're running CM7 as well (I just flashed it yesterday). I've had a few fc issues but over all, I'm loving it so far. And I do think it may have had a positive effect on my battery life, over CM6. I've been running my Seidio battery for about 8 hours now and I'm only down to 50%! And it's definitely on its way toward MIUI in terms of built in features.
[HD2 General] laurafmoirut:
Is there any new fixes to this problem? I cannot do anything on the Android side of my phone because this error keeps popping up. I deleted facebook off of it via the windows side of my phone. I really do not want to have to wipe the phone, (it is not letting me do that even!) I really need some help with this badly, so if you can help me that would be great but please word it in a way for a novice to understand as I am new to the world of cell speak. I tried looking for my contacts but could not find them on the SD card. Plus if I wipe the SD Card out, how do I get my Android functions back? I love the android portion of my phone, it just sucks that this happened! I am so upset I just wanna cry if I loose my phone!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Are you stock? Rooted? using a different launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Overclock (if rooted) and less widgets might help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jchap808:
i am perm-rooted with gingervillian 1.5 running. Using setcpu really didn't help, thanks for the suggestion, anything helps. More suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Don't think there's much you can do. I see worse performance changing orientation on my home screen that has 2 widgets vs. other screens with just icons or 1 widget. I'm overclocked to 1017mhz and its definitely better than it was at 806mhz.

If you're using ADW launcher try out the stock one or Launcher pro, they can sometimes offer faster orientation times.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jchap808:
tried Adw launcher, it was good but I just recently switched to launcherpro plus, and i was hooked. But other than that still wish i could improve the speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I use launcherpro plus too. Go into your preferences>advanced>memory usage settings and try setting the memory usage preset to high, and put a checkmark in the 'use homescreen caches' checkbox. I've got the Homescreen cache type set to normal, which I believe is the default.
[Atrix 4G General] toogle:
Hi all,

I am not in U.S. and want to buy an atrix.

I asked one of my friends in U.S. to buy one and hope to unlock it to use it.

But my friend told me the ATT web page only showed on-contract price(499-300=$199) to him, which is same to me. We cannot find the off-contract price page as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952384

He also called ATT local store but was also told currently there is no off-contract atrix.

But I do see so many friends in the forum pre-ordered off-contract atrix.

I don't know what is wrong.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] panflute:
The Atrix wlll be available at AT&T stores this Monday the 21st. Off contract price is now listed at $499. Best Buy and Amazon should have them soon also. Of course it remains to be seen if it can be unlocked. You may want to hold off until people get a chance to play with it although I know it is difficult to wait. I hear they are working on quadcore and much faster processors for next year. I hope to have my Atrix on monday.
[Atrix 4G General] ceno666:
Same here, iam living in Europe searching for a way to get a new nextgen android device asap.

...currently comparing atrix and sgs2.
[Atrix 4G General] toogle:
sgs2 release one month later than atrix.

However it seems not stronger than atrix.

sgs2 has gyro 2.3rom, but no hdmi

moto has fingerprint reader, but locked bl, no gyro, 2.2rom

hope update to 2.3 or 2.4 soon

really hard to choose

currently I prefer atrix. as I guess tegra 2 is more powerful.

hope to see benchmarks of sgs2 for further comparison
[Atrix 4G General] mrabcx:
$499 does not seem to be that expensive at all. The Nexus S is still at $529 at Best Buy, who will then buy that ?! (OK, you get 2.3 and unlocked bootloader) but from a hardware point of view the Atrix is probably much better off.
[Atrix 4G General] toogle:
I also agree that $499 is not that expensive. But I am afraid not everyone can get an Atrix in that price.

From the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952384

, it seems only Premier users of att can pre-order an off-contract atrix.(at even lower price).

But the $499 price atrix does not show to other users in ATT web page. at least, I can not see.
[Atrix 4G General] ceno666:
Ok, the price for nexus s is too much now.

What i didnt liked at sgs is the cheap look and feel with this hardware. Maybe similar at sgs2...atrix seems to be the winner here.

Did anyone read about which camera wins in this battle?

What you guys think about the display comparison?

CPU power is not so important i think, anything dualcore is kind of overpowered these days.

What really sucks with the atrix is this encrypted bootloader.

I wanna use current custom roms without apps that no one needs, or at least the option to use things like launcher pro.

[Windows Mobile Themes] lumisab:
Hi

to make the taskbars transparent

you have to prepared to DUMP you ROM, or you can go to the HTC web-side and download the new ROM for you device,why? because you need 2 files from the ROM to change it with the hexeditor than cook it back to the ROM after that flash the new ROM to you device,you will everything delete on you phone with this procedure,because you have to flash you altered ROM to you phone, is it worth for you?? let me know
[HD2 General] spajker:
I had stock 1.66 and I tried install 3.14 stock. I download ROM form HTC page after giving serial number.

All flash process on PC was done correctly, on PC was that flash is finish (it goes to 100% and then I can put only Finish) but on phone I saw only SPL 3.03 after a longer while I decided to reset phone but after reset there is still only SPL 3.03, when I tried install ROM again but it always goes to 1% (HTC logo on Phone is strange, has strange lines on it) and I have error on PC Invalid Model. I tried install older versions but situation is the same.

Is there any possibility to force install ROM in this case or phone is permanently dead now?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
on bootloader screen, what does the model ID read as? (top line)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
It kinda sounds like you downloaded the wrong stick ROM. Who is you carrier? And what model HD2 do you have?

Pardon my ignorance, but I was wondering if there was a way to get the gps button in the notification pull down to toggle all three location services. (vzw, stand alone, Google) it seems silly to only turn off standalone.

I'm currently running black hole 4.2 and blue steel SE. I haven't done any development (although I want to) so I'm looking for simple solutions or just planting an idea for further development. Thank you all in advance.

[Fascinate General] zombie1991:
What I do, and this is NOT what you are asking, I leave my GPS off most of the time. Normally when I open a program that uses GPS it will tell me to turn it on or toggle something to improve accuracy. It will then just bring you to that menu setting where I then just check the check boxes. I know it's not handy or one click but it's the easiest way I know of. Sorry if I don't know a better answer.
