text mode boot? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just found the boot video of a BIOS/Text mode boot, awesome btw. Is there any way to do away with the videos all together and just have my phone show the actual text of the boot sequence? does android even display text during boot like my linux desktop?

Kernel doesn't support a verbose output.

Thanks for the info! I'm still learning about all this.

Safe Mode Menu keeps appearing

Everytime my XDA Ignito boots it says "Safe Mode Menu" and asks if I want to enter Safe Mode to tap one of the keys, else it'll time out and boot into "Normal Mode".
Any idea how to stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.
Mmmm...
Sounds like you've got some third-party app showing its' face. I used to use an app that would offer to boot in safe-mode. I think it was spb Pocket Plus. Do you have anything like that installed?
Thanks mate, it was SPB.

[Q] Custom shutdown animations

Does anyone have a custom shutdown animation they would be willing to share or know of a site where I could find one? My google searches haven't turned up anything of quality..
That Verizon shutdown animation is pretty lame. I'd like to replace or remove it as well. I'm sure I can, I just haven't had time to mess around with it.

Check this post out, I am using it for now until something better turns up (meaning it is not the best quality IMO), I suck at this kinda art work, else I'd make my own.

Yep, better than the stoopid VZ one, however still searching for something better myself, besides just had to do it to see if it worked
while it's nothing mind blowing, the quality seems okay for me, and it's FAR better than the lame verizon one.
those verizon animations make me feel like i'm still using my chocolate circa 2006
thanks guys.. I'll give this one a go for now.. anythings better than the awful stock verizon one.
For what its worth I made my own.
Its of my son so none of you would want it but I made it with gimp and just replaced the stock one. Works great.
Weird thing though, when I view the pics in root explorer it shows the verizon pics instead of mine.
Still plays mine but in the file it still looks like the stock pics.

i noticed that as well, i think root explorer just doesn't clear the thumbnail cache for some reason
That messed with me for a while. It wasnt til I shut down for something else I noticed it took.
Must have replaced the file 5 times thinking it didn't work.

Although the stock galaxy s shutdown animation isn't the greatest, I have to say its MUCH better than the stock Verizon one. I'm not going to be around a computer for a while, would someone mind posting a silent shutdown.ogg so we could get rid of the stock shutdown sound straight from the phone? Thanks in advance, guys!

here you go, let me know if it doesn't work.
just rename the file to shutdown.ogg

If you are not near a computer and just wanna disable sounds at start and shutdown give this a try:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer clear out previous number and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *#<code>#
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.

That is rad! did exactly what I wanted to do, and without meddling with any internal files.
What are some other hidden tuning menus?

[Q] Boot animation sound

Hey guys I need some help regarding boot animation sound. I am currently running Andromeda 2.0 which comes with SGS tools. It says that if I place a .wav file in SD/sgtools, that will play during boot up... it is not the case though. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.
Ps: I've tried putting system volume up before rebooting but that is not the problem...

I think that the file needs to have an .oog extension
sent from my Cap using the app.
.ogg is for shutdown sound I think.

I think you mean .ogg ...Oog is a town in Somalia.
Make sure you have to set the file to play as the startup sound with sgs tools as well, then tap apply. Just putting the file in SD/sgtools and rebooting isn't enough.

Gif feature

I apologize if this is a duplicate, I did the search and couldn't find anything. Has anyone tried the gif feature. I have 2 issues with it.
1) whenever I create a gif, the auto focus is in the gif (yellow circle). Anyone know how to get rid of that? It doesn't stay long, but just enough to be annoying.
2) Sharing- no matter how long the gif, it's too large for sms. I tried standard quality and I believe it gave me the same message. And it looks terrible in standard. I had to actually upload it to Google Drive and send a link.
I would appreciate any feedback.

1) are you sure that ring isn't for face detection
2) Try making a gif in standard quality and keeping it under 1mb in size. Send it to yourself to see if it goes through, I believe gif are sent as mms
Sharing GIFs on Instagram and Facebook/Coming out as a pic???
Hello,
I just recently purchase my Note 7 and it is great! However, my issue with the GIF is sharing ANYWHERE. I have tried to share on Instagram and Facebook and the GIF comes out as a picture only. Can someone tell me why please?
I'm not sure why this happens but when I create a gif and attempt to send it right away it always sends as a single shot image. If I wait an hour or so before sending, it sends as a gif. Go figure.

[App] SystemUI Tuner - By Zacharee1

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!
I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!
My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

ADB went smooth and I was able to tweak the pull down toggles but volume warning still happens, and it was switched off by default? This is what really bugs me and I want turned off!

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.
Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.
This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?
I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.
Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.
It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?
