[LG Revolution] vaelek:
fwiw I looked this over a bit and drm.play is "called" from libnetflixmp_jni.so packaged in the app. The omx "libs" in the lg dump don't seem to be compatible with the evo, probably an architecture issue.
[LG Revolution] Ep3n3wp:
Booo
[LG Revolution] wdfowty:
My apologies. It's kind of a long story :)

I'll keep out of this thread, don't plan on developing this.
[LG Revolution] leenypost:
The point was not to port the whole ROM.. It was to try and get Netflix on our EVO's...

Val already has stated it won't work so then it is a dead issue.. I trust in what he says.. If it is not compatible we will wait for the next phone that comes out and get that system dump... The Revolution was just the first phone with it so it was worth looking at even if just for the experience to know what to do when the first HTC phone drops that has Netflix...

The architectural differences though make me start to think no matter who the manufacturer is... It won't work.. Because it is about the CPU manufacturer and CPU architecture, not the phone manufacturer.

Thats what I was also thinking when I was looking at it when decompiled. If there was only a way to decompile .so files, we might get a clearer glimpse.

There is a way, you just need a disassembler (like IDA) and some knowledge.

[LG Revolution] vbetts:
Biggest issue is the DRM that Netflix depends on. Netflix will only work on netflix certified devices, basically this is another selling point for certain devices. I've tried running the netflix apk on my Evo and Moment, I've tried pushing the drm from the dump to my Evo since they both use the same SoC, but nothing. It could be based on device activation too, I don't know. I'm not a developer so I haven't looked into it really.

Surprised noone has mentioned this. My buddy has a Dinc and the streaming still works despite the crackdown.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
My understanding was that the architecture of the CPU came with the DRM partially embedded. If this is the case, no amount of dumps and reverse engineering of the software will allow Netflix to work.
[LG Revolution] shadowdude777:
I don't follow this closely at all because I don't use Netflix, but I think we've gotten it running on the Droid 1.
[LG Revolution] Veritas06:
the apk from the market has already been modded to work with any device & Netflix even lifted the check that was performed by the app.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
7-zip complains that the system dump is not a valid archive. Any thoughts?
[LG Revolution] mrfyisms:
Ok, this thread should be dead now. Go to the market and get the working Netflix app. It only works good on fast phones.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txdeathray:
Since screen consumes a good chunk of the total battery percentage, I've been reading some things on the internet and it seems like people are saying black color theme consumes less battery power than other colored themes, but only on a certain type of LED. If so, does the MT3GS has that type of screen and does black color theme really saves more battery for our phone?

some other odd stuff: first one is what happens when i leave my phone on in a lecture hall for an hour... second one is just my screen going weird.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
That is for AMOLED screens and you have to use a mod that uses true blacks and what that is, is instead of using backlit blacks it just doesn't use those pixels and so that increases battery life. (And AMOLED is used on higher end devices so no the MT3GS doesn't have it.)

Nice! Would this work on the showcase?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
donno. I will talk with phidelt and i will see if it will.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Very cool. If you want to play it safe, download the StayAwake app from the Market. Doesn't give you the option back in the menus, but it allows you to choose in the app whether or not to keep the screen on when plugged in or not, or to keep the screen on all the time (don't know why you'd do that, the battery would be dead pretty fast).
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I (and a few others) have already tried this, so if you don't want an extra app taking up memory - use this mod, it works great :).
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It's something that was previously there and was removed. He just added it back in. The reason a developer, or anyone, would want to do this is because while you have your phone plugged in to the USB cable and are working with it, your computer, and many other things at once, it gets annoying having to keep turning the screen back on and unlocking your phone.

As for killing your battery, if it's plugged in to the USB port and charging but still going dead, I believe you have a problem with your phone. While charging, you should never lose battery power..... that's why it's called charging.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
The app has the option to keep the screen all the time, regardless of it being on the charger as well as just keeping it on while on the charger. What I meant is that if you have the screen on all the time and aren't charging the phone the battery is going to die in a pretty short amount of time. I really missed that option in FroYo, so I'll probably flash this when I have a chance to. Thanks to everyone, it's really nice to get this back in the OS options.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
This is a handy thing for those who use there phone as an alarm clock. Screen stays on so when you wake up you just have to look at it to get the time vs. Looking for it an fumbling for the lock button when you half a sleep.

Hi people

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader to root my nexus s 2.3.3 for 2 days now and have tried everything i can find in all the related threads but my computer wont see the phone when in fastboot mode.

Im getting really fed up as i do not know what to try next.

Anyone had this problem before?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Nexus S General] Andrew421:
Have you tried the PDA.net way to install the drivers for fastboot? Google: PDA net
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Yeah I've tried that too but computer does'nt see the phone in fastboot mode so i cannot update the drivers at all.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
What do you mean by it cannot see it. Also, what OS are you running? Often times the phone is detected via fastboot when ADB fails (this happens to me all the time).
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Hi, when i put the phone in fastboot mode the computer doesnt see the phone in device manager but it does see it when not in fastboot mode. Im running windows 7 64.
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
Hey man, I had the same issues. It took me a total of 12 hours to root my phone and I tried everything . I was stuck trying to unlock the bootloader for hours. The problem for me was that the driver couldnt be found. I tried the pda net and it kept saying that the drivers were installed. Assuming your using windows, go to devices with the phone plugged in and you should see the device named something different with a yellow exclamation mark..... right click and hit update driver software. Then find the file pdanet and point it to update with that file. If this doesnt work, theres a file in there I believe its called android_usb or android_winusb and you push "have disk" and force install from that file . then it should see your phone. this was the only way i could get it to work was by pushing have disk and pointing it at the actual android 1.0 driver becuase the google usb package didnt have it (at least at the time). Im new to the forum, so bare with me if my directions aren't too great, just thought I'de try to help you out bc it was so frustrating!. Also, here is a good link in the xda forums for you to check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875580

also,,,are you getting the "waiting for device" message when you type fastboot oem unlock? these instructions are for if you are experiencing that... Its basically not found becuase there is an android 1.0 driver that you have to force to update. good luck!
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Thanks for the replies am now downloading the sdk onto the wifes laptop as hers is win 7 32 so hope there is less issues. fingers crossed.
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
i did mine with win 7 64 i tried 32 as well but my 64 worked better for me.... i looked at the driver details with my phone plugged in to see what drivers are on there .. you need the wdfcoinstaller , the winusb coinstaller, and the winusb.sys. if you find the device when plugged in to your computer and goto details and then hit update driver and then point it specifically at the android_usb.sys file in the pda net for android folder then it should work. the google drivers thru sdk don't contain this one file and its the one that makes the whole process work. Let me know if this works for you
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Have the same drivers installed but computer still doesn't see the phone when in fastboot mode. It worked perfectly on win7 32 on other laptop and I managed to root. still trying to get it to work on win7 64 as this is my main OS.
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
glad to hear,...just out of curiosity, how did you get it to work on the 32 bit version?? Id like to know for future reference,,, and also are you getting the waiting for device error in fastboot mode?
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
also, you did make sure to dowload the google usb package and get the right sdk version correct? I cant see any other reason that the phone wouldn't be recognized. I also believe you need usb debugging on
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786 check out this post... VERY good guide and this is what helped me on the 64 bit 7. it sounds like your missing the fastboot driver which allows the computer to see the device in fastboot mode
[Nexus S General] noj78:
On win7 32 it was really easy once all the necessary programs and files were downloaded I first connected the phone switched on in normal mode with USB debug on and installed the drivers. Once in fastboot mode the path for the drivers was already there from the previous driver install I just selected the bootloader driver and the rest is history ;)
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
which one was the bootloader driver? did you get it from the google usb drivers or the pda net ones?
[Nexus S General] noj78:
it was the google usb drivers when i went update drivers on my system the path is

C:\android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.

Then go to option 'let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer' Which brings up three options:

Android ADB Interface

Android Bootloader Interface

Android Composite ADB Interface

Choose the Android Bootloader Interface hit next and yes to install.
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Ok so on my win7 64 system i think that somewhere along the line i installed the wrong driver and broke the link although i can find the device in fastboot mode in devices and printers\unspecified but there it no option to upgrade drivers :confused:
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
If you can see the phone in fastboot what else do you need?
[Nexus S General] noj78:
deleted!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus S General] noj78:
I can see it in fastboot mode but not in device manager where it should be.

I can only see it in devices and printers where there are no driver options.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Okay, so put it in fastboot mode and try to run a fastboot devices real quick.
[Nexus S General] noj78:
No it doesn't work I'm sure I've installed the wrong driver somewhere and broken something.

I tried a system restore to before I installed the drivers but it failed to restore :(
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Ok so by ejecting my phone from devices and printers I was able to bring up the driver info and install another driver. Now the phone is showing up in device manager again but not as android phone it now shows as ADB interface. Is this normal?
[Nexus S General] mattdub1:
yes, this is how mine showed up I believe
[Nexus S General] noj78:
Ok now I have managed to get it to work in fastboot mode on win7 64 by messing around with the drivers.

Thanks everyone for all your help!:D

I have this ROM: Inspire 4g Stock ROM Optimized--Root, Deodex, zip-aligned, HSUPA, non-market ap....

Is there an easy way to kill the AT&T boot animation when it starts up? I like the stock rom, and I like all the crapware has been removed, but the AT&T Rethink Possible silly animation on this ROM drives me nuts. Any way to remove it?

thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Bella, this thread will likely be moved as it's a question and not development. As your other thread was moved.

Second, it's in System/customize/resource. I wouldn't recommend deleting though, replace it with something else. Loots of boot options on XDA.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
OOPS! Sorry I didn't mean to post in here again... my bad. Apologies to the mods.

Can you give me a link to what boot animations I can easily replace it with?

Also, I think related, any way to get rid of the reference to AT&T in the app store? I hate knowing this is an AT&T phone, hehe
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Check in the themes and apps sections, they're literally everywhere. Yes you can get rid of the at&t reference in the market but it requires a lot of editing in the build.prop. There was an extra step too but I forget...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Having a little difficulty applying these. If I power down, then press POWER and VOL DOWN to boot into recovery, do I have to wipe or clear cache or just apply zip or how do they work?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
Mudknot made it easy for us. In that thread he linked to, download the bootanimation you want from the list that IS flashable through cwm. Boot into clockwork and choose to install zip from SD card. Find the bootanimation zip, select it and then answer yes to the "are you sure" question.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If your using ginger bread then it won't work.. If your using froyo all you will need to do is flash it. You don't want to do a full wipe because it will erase everything. Cache and Devlik are entirely up to you

It won't work on gingerbread because I haven't had time to flash gingerbread, and update the update script.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Not using gingerbread, just the ATT stock rom rooted. Flashing the rom in the above post didn't work... is t here a manual way to replace the animation file?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Just to make sure your using the correct one. The bootanimation.zip files will not flash through cwm. If you are trying to flash them use the ones that say flashable through cwm should be post Number 4. If you want to manually do it. You are going to need a root explorer (ie. super manager, es file explorer, root explorer) you will need to make sure root path is selected and that you have the build mounted as R/W. Copy the bootanimation.zip you want to your sd card (do not unpack it), and copy it with root explorer. From there you are going to want to go into your build (rootpath) and go to data>local>, then you are going to want to past it, agree to overwrite the current bootanimation.zip. Then do a full reboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I tried the latter and it didn't work. I'd already tried to flash with the flashable one, so after that didn't work I tried the non flashable, and copied it to that directory, but it didn't change the animation. I'm using the TPC Inspire Stock Rom and even when I followed the above process I'm getting the annoying big TPC boot animation.

I wish I could get around it :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Give me a few minutes Ill see what I can do.

I'm currently not able to flash the rom, but I am going to unpack it and take a look see if I can figure out whats up with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Do me a favor, in root explorer go to system>customize>resources and tell me if you see ATT_bootanimation.zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yes its in there. Y?

I removed the 4 screws underneath the rubber feet and was wondering what was the easiest way to open up the exterior shell without damaging anything. I understand, by reading the tear down thread, there are 3 clip on each side. Any detailed instruction on how you did it and what you used would be greatly appreciated.

Im currently trying to fix the headphone jack that only outputs through on channel and causes various programs to think that headphones are being plugged in and taken out. It also prevents any sound to escape the exterior speakers unless pressure is applied. Since I'm use my Gtab to take notes for school so I can't part with it for 3+ weeks.

Also does anyone know if the drivers for the hardware are natively in android or are they baked in by the manufacturer?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2k-inc:
When screws are removed, try pulling by hand in each coiner to see which one comes loose, when you got one, use a plastic opening tools and pry the back out slowly, if you don't have a tools, use a credit card (the expired one is better ... lol) will be fine.

for me, the easiest way was to open the flap for the microusb slot (and full size USB port location) and pull apart from there. That point gave me the best leverage to get it apart and then I moved around the tablet to open it up.
