G1 Please, I like that alot

That looks great yeah please could i request for mdpi devices to please (G1,Hero,Eris<legen etc.).
Thanks

can someone with an mdpi device let me know if the animation loops for them?
on my nexus the letter drop animation loops properly (i.e. n-e-g-o-n-a-y-c repeats), but when i installed it on a g1 the animation plays once through and then a black screen appears.
thanks ^^

Nice.. Any sound? Maybe the gas cling cling sound?

Need help with boot animation on N1

This is my first rooted phone so be gentle. Im trying to change my boot screen to the matrix one I downloaded from droidboots.com
I followed this tutorial(How To Change Motorola Droids Boot Animation HD) to the letter from here youtube.com/watch?v=WIBk1-NB_ZM
But when I reboot it still shows the normal N1 X animation.I also tried the Boot animation app from the market(boot-animation-changer-root) and get the same result
Am I missing anything?
Thanks
Do you have adb installed? If you do, run this command:
adb remount
adb push C:\(location)\bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
That will replace the current x-animation with whatever animation you want. Make sure it is named bootanimation.zip. If you don't have adb, try root explorer from the market to push the files from within the phone, or ask the maker of the animation to create a flashable update.zip for you.

cant flash these in recovery
you use can use adb
place the bootanimation.zip on to root of sdcard
open command prompt
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
reboot phone
or use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system
top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w
then copy/paste bootanimation to /system/customize/resource
it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes
then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions
user needs to be ticked as read and write
group needs to be ticked as read
others also ticked as read
press ok
reboot
these folder locations are for the sense based roms or stock
for cyanogen/aosp just need to place the bootanimation in /data/local/
any chance to get the bootanimation sound file ?

beginners guide for new members"NooBs"

i chose to start this thread as an educational and informative way of answering simple question so new questions arent repeatedly asked.
first off try to use the search window as much as possible before you post a question, chances aer your question has been asked before, so you will find the answer somewhere.when you do have to post a question be patient, the answer will come either in the form of an informative response or with a link to an informative response.
in every thread or be it for a rom ,a mod a theme etc. there are instructions. follow them to the letter and you shouldnt have any problem.
most importantly, be grateful to the devs or members which might assist you , at least say thank you and hit the thanks button, and donate if you can. these individuals work very hard at what they do here to provide you with the information and freedom you need to do what you want to do with your HEROC.
say thanks,,,its not that difficult.
Root your HTC HERO200 CDMA...
there are many different methods of rooting your device, it depends on your particular device.
they all work you simply have to find the one that works for you. for instance myself i use the regawmod one click method. (thanks regaw) when
i tried to use it on an associates device it didnt work...you have to find the method that works for your device.
youll find the files and programs you need to perform whatever procedure you choose to try on the developers page.
make sure you read the instruction completly before you begin. when you do begin follow the instruction to the letter and you shouldnt have any problem.once again, dont get piussed at the dev because it didnt work, its not that the procedure doesnt work, it just didnt work for you...simply search for another method and try again.and you will succeed.
i was going to post some of the methods but dont have permission from the devs to do so, so for now youll have to search for the precedures yourself. if or when i do get permission ill edit this thread or post the link in order to help yo on your way,,,ehhh for now itll be good practice for using the search window.
method 1.
hhttp://www.gadgetsdna.com/how-to-root-htc-hero-cdma-stock-android-2-1/3628/
The HTC Hero 2.1 exploit is based on the EVO rooting method. Rooting HTC Hero Android phone provides full access to its system files allowing you to modify the phone’s firmware and install third party apps, themes and custom ROMs. You can then spruce up your HTC Hero handset with number of third party applications.
How to Root Sprint’s 2.27.651.5 Release for CDMA Hero (Stock Android 2.1)
Note: If you already have the Android SDK and HTC Sync set up on your computer, skip to Step 4 now
Step 1: Download the Android SDK.
Step 2: Extract the Android SDK zip. Move the contents of the extracted zip to C:\
Your Android tools folder path should now be C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Step 3: Download HTC Sync 2.0.33 here. Run the installer, and reboot your computer when it is finished. Skip to step 4 once rebooted.
Step 4: Download the hero-root.zip. This zip contains everything you need to root your Hero.
(md5: c6e5058ed14f71c68fb099e10be142fb)
Step 5: Extract the 3 files inside hero-root.zip to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder on your computer.
Step 6: Make sure USB Debugging is ON (checked) on your Hero. Navigate to Settings > Applications > Development > and make sure it is checked
Step 7: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, Make sure that the connection type in the Notification Pull-Down Bar is “Charge Only”, not “Disk Drive” or else this won’t work. You may restart your comuter when prompted to do so.
Step 8: Open a Command Prompt window by clicking the Start button and typing cmd into the search box and pressing enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
Step 9: You enter the commands followed by pressing ENTER, one code at a time.
1 cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
You should now see C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>
Now type
adb devices
You will now notice your HTC Hero phone’s serial number. If you get “device not found” error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.
You will now push the files needed to gain root to your sdcard in your phone with these following commands one by one:
adb push unrevoked /sdcard
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push boot-patched.zip /sdcard
Now we run the exploit. Be patient, this may take up to 40 seconds.
adb shell
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
You should now see output that says this:
UNREVOKED
============================================================ unrEVOked: root for HTC evo and hero (http://unrevoked.com)
Now, on your phone, go to your app tray, and you will see that the Superuser Permissions app is in it, which is only possible on rooted devices.
Open the Superuser Permissions app. You will see a blank screen.
In the Command Prompt on your computer, type:
A prompt will appear on your Hero asking you to give /system/bin/sh privileges. Click Allow.
Go back to your command prompt, and you should see
$ su su #
Now Type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Flashing the recovery may take many seconds to complete. Wait until the # symbol returns to proceed.
You should now see
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
#
This means it was a successful flash.
Now type
reboot recovery
Your phone will now boot to the custom recovery image you just flashed. In the Recovery Menu on your phone, choose the option:
Flash zip from sdcard
Then Select
boot-patched.zip
and press the Home button to apply. Once Recovery says “Install from sdcard complete” select “Reboot system now” from the menu.
Voila!! You now have full root access on HTC Hero 2.1!
Thanks to the guys at xda-developers and gadgetsdna
or, you can try regaw's one click root method. you can find it here on Xda, just use the search window,,,it's easy
both of these methods have worked well for me in the past, im sure one of them WILL work for you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flashing a ROM (from clockworkMod)
this is the method i use and i "never" have any problems
download the ROM of your choosing and move to the root of your sdcard
follow the devs instruction for installation which should be something like this;
1. do a nandroid backup
2. reboot into recovery
3. wipe data
4. wipe cashe
5. choose advanced, wipe dalvik
***OPTIONAL***
6. choose mounts and storage
7. format system
8. format data
9. formatcashe
10. go back. and choose install zip from sd card
11. choose, choose zip from sd card
12. find the rom you want to flash and choose yes
13. when its through flashing choose install zip from sd card
14. find the gapps you want to flash and choose yes
when its through with the flash the screen will return to the main menu and choose reboot system
the first boot will take a little longer than usual this is normal. setup your google s#@ts as usual and enjoy your new ROM.
follow these instructions and you shouldnt have any problems, if you do, go back to the thread you downloaded from post a reply to report it to the dev so they know theres a problem and they can determine if its a problem with the rom, a problem with the way you flashed or a problem with your system.
15. "ONCE AGAIN" most importantly, be grateful to the devs, at least say thank you and hit the thanks button, and donate if you can.
these individuals work very hard at what they do here to provide you with the information you need to do what you want to do with your HEROC.
say thanks,,,its not that difficult.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
themeing your new ROM
1. make sure the theme you choose is compatable with the rom you have flashed
2. since alot of the themes have a different procedure for installation,"READ AND FOLLOW THE DEVS INSTRUCTIONS"(sorry for the caps)
they are there for a reason.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
boot animations
1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows
2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder
3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system
4. Type in command prompt
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
or (compliments of user7618)
Boot animations are easier to change by sliding the .zip into /system/media or /data/local. That way, there is no need for adb commands, just a file explorer like root explorer. Make sure that it is named bootanimation.zip.

Change sprint insignia (ON AOSP) to whatever you want
1. Download eri.zip
2. Unzip the file to wherever you please.
3. Right click on eri.xml and choose "Open with Notepad"
4. Once you open the file you will see "Sprint" in the 5th line.
5. Delete Sprint and place whatever you would like in it's place. I believe you have up to 16 spaces to work with if need be.
6. Save the file with an .xml extension. Important: Make sure it is eri.xml and not eri.xml.txt. This will cause issues.
7. Place the eri.xml in your /androidsdk/tools directory.
8. Pull up your Command Promt/Terminal/Etc
9. CD to your /androidsdk/tools directory and:
adb remount
adb push eri.xml /data/eri.xml
adb reboot
or, (thanks to user 7618 )
I threw together a simple app to change the Carrier Name in the status bar/lockscreen to whatever you want since my alot of people seem to ask how to change it. Feel free to use it. Tested on Incredible and Eris. Dev's feel free to thow it your roms if you want. No ads and free just a simple tool to change the text. Thanks to the great Eris community.
Currently only works for AOSP roms such as cyanogenmod.
V1.3
While trouble shooting some radio issues on a rom I realized there's no need to reboot the phone to apply the new carrier name. I only needed to cycle the radio so I changed the app to toggle airplane mode on and then back off after you input your text so the change should take place immediately. This should make it a little easier to test and try different things or just change it more often.
I also added some shortcut buttons at the bottom to quickly add the text for the ", < and > signs so you don't have to type it all out. Only tested this with cm7 but should still work with any rom's it worked with before. Again thanks to Psiphon for pointing these symbol fixes out.
http://www.multiupload.com/RO6RZUUL16
V1.2
Fix for phones that don't already have an eri.xml file there
Added version number to bottom of screen so people can be sure what version they are running.
http://www.androidphiles.com/files/g.../ccname1.2.apk
V1.1
Fixed force closes when using symbols.
You can now use symbols except for double quotes. Apostrophe (single quote) seems to work fine.
Some usefull info if you want to use quotes....
Originally Posted by Psiphon

" (quotation mark) use "

I hope this helps!
Added Toast popup to let you know the name has been set.
If reboot button does not reboot phone just reboot the phone manually
http://www.androidphiles.com/files/g.../ccname1.1.apk
This app does one thing. It takes the input text you type and creates and eri.xml file and puts it in data/ folder on your phone. Then you can reboot for change to take effect. You can uninstall the app after you change it if you want or you can leave it on there(it's pretty small) in case you like to switch it every now and then. If you flash a new rom you will have to rerun the app.

hopefully there will be more info in the future to add to this thread that will make things easier for everyone all around.

Nice beginners guide.
Also, an easier way to change the carrier banner:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960099
Instead of all that goofy crap with files and whatnot.
Boot animations are easier to change by sliding the .zip into /system/media or /data/local. That way, there is no need for adb commands, just a file explorer like root explorer. Make sure that it is named bootanimation.zip.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
Thanks man ill keerp adding, i really hope this helps some folks
Kudos. Good guide.

How to change the boot screen?

Preqiously I had energy android rom on my HD2 and then I switched to cm9 android.
Problem is that I still have energy logo when I am booting my OS.
How to remove/change it?
With root acces, you can change it here : system/media ==> bootanimation.zip
PS : Sometime here : /data/local
Need superuser, with terminal
Download boot animation from internation, rename it to bootanimation.zip place it somewhere on sdcard
On terminal type
cp /data/local/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.BAKUP
cp /<pathToDownloadedFile>/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Restart. Voila.
This is great! Thanks!
