Found this on another device thread...thought I should pass it along.
Nexus S Boot Animation... Flashable
I am running Seredipity 6.4 and therefore I can only confirm compatibility with that ROM.

Skype Video Chat "Fix":
Currently until Skype updates its app to support the Bionic you can install the hacked version. In Settings Enable Video Calling and then in the Advanced Settings Check "Use valid preview surface" and I checked Autostart on boot (optional).

Q&A
Question: "I can't see/find/locate files on my SD Card"
Answer: When browsing through the files on your phone, your actual SD Card is a folder named "SDCard-Ext". The folder named SD Card is the "built in" storage on the Bionic. So when looking for say your nandroid backup it will be located in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/
NONE OF THE ABOVE IS MY WORK JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SINGLE LOCATION WITH LINKS FOR NEW BIONICS TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY. OF COURSE EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Awesome thanks. We should get this stickied on here or the dev section.

Needs to move over to Dev section. But i think it will help a lot of people since you did a fantastic job at organizing it!
Just trying to give a little something back. I made a copy of it in the dev section, updated it for the Bootstrap, and created a quick and dirty bootstrap guide. Glad you like!
Good info here! Thanks for your time putting it together!
No problem.

thanks but could you specify the link
this is NOT Carrier IQ!
Hi,
most of you should know the spy tool named Carrier IQ...
Now (told by a reliable german IT news portal) it seems that Motorola uses some similar software on boot of Droid RAZR and Droid 4! The system process is called "qe" and fires on boot... It's used to collect MD5 hashes of the system folder to check changes like new ROMs or if the phone is rooted!
Here's the news link:

non german xda members could use google, if my summery isn't enough...
i even don't know if it's true... but it scares me oO

This DroidForum post by Hashcode is the source of the news articles mentioned above. All of the news articles I could google were in German, and Google translate is more pitiful than useful. Go to the source, especially if English is more useful to you than German.
Executive summary: "qe" is started by init process and catalogs differences between your system and standard ROM. Hashcode's stock ICS leak disables this, so obviously it can be disabled (apparently by removing it from system init scripting).
I'd like to see some guidance on how to disable QE on a stock-but-rooted phone running .219. I suppose I could look into it myself.

Is there a way just to edit the hosts file so it doesn't send?
Hello everybody!
Yesterday I was thinking about a new app for Android, and this app would be able to comunicate with the recovery to schedule things like backup and restore. In 2011 I released "ROM Updater" (not that big success though) which used extendedcommands, an extension to the recoveries made by the team of CyanogenMod (it was indeed created to let the CM updater work).
ClockworkMod Recovery adopted this system, but the author probably didn't want the competition, so started to release the ClockworkMod recovery with encrypted extendedcommands. You can still recompile CWM and redistribute with the unencrypted commands, though I decided to opt for something less rouge-ish (why the hell should I recompile something that already "works"?).
Team Win Recovery Project is a 100% open-source recovery with a new scripting language, called "OpenRecoveryScript". It's just like extendedcommands, but without all the implications of "Premium"* or in any case limited API.
Well, TWRP is not only that, it's a full-multitouch recovery, easy to use. It's being built for a list of devices, and this list will be updated every time someone will compile the recovery for his own device. I decided to compile it for the P7500, hoping it will be added soon to the official list. In the mean while, I'll release the builds right here.
I've built and tested the recovery image for the P7500 (WiFi+GSM) and it's been confirmed that it works on the P7510 device too (WiFi only).
Goo.im GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TechErrata GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TWRP 2.2.1.5 - GT-P7500
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on Goo.im)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on TechErrata.com)
TWRP 2.2.2.0 - GT-P7510 (thanks to MapleSyrup)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-gt-p7510.img
How to flash:
- Copy the recovery into the storage partition (alias /sdcard)
- In adb, as root, execute dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Cheers
*I personally think that Koushik Dutta (the ClockworkMod guy), encrypting the commands with his distributions, played hard: ROM Manager is the "official" CyanogenMod updater (it's distributed along with any CM release even if it's not opensource (and the CM guys worked hard to take the closed-source apps out of their release)), de-facto everybody install the CWM recovery just 'cause it's already there (déjà vu Internet Explorer?). I think this is called "monopoly" and should be fought in any possible way.
I'm all for true open source development, and will be watching your progress on this. Kudos and a thanks to you!

I'd be willing to test for the p4vzw. If you build an image for it.

This appears to work on my Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 (p7510). Although the log says "E: Unable to mount /sdcard" I can access the sdcard just fine. I tried updating to the latest droidbasement.com kernel and it flashed perfectly.
Oh, and thanks for the quick and easy non-odin way of flashing recoveries.
The recovery is already in the goo.im repository
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/gt-p7500
The dropbox image is already update to fix the /sdcard "problem" ^^
Would this work on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi (p4wifi)?
Sent from my Nexus One
According to AAccount yes. Please confirm this, so that I'll tell the TWRP guys to add the repo for that device too and I'll update the title of the conversation here.
I can say without a doubt that this is the best recovery I have used on any device in my 3 years with android phones. Wow! Graphics a bit grainy on the p7500, but functionality is fantastic! Thanks!
Very nice recovery system, good to see other options. HTC users had several choices such as AmonRa and 4ext.
Can confirm that it works on the WiFi only version. Thanks for the options , friend. Been running TWRP on my One X since the boot loader was unlocked, and I was missing it.

At the risk of sounding like a noob.....what is adb, and can someone provide a link so I can school myself on it?

You don't actually need to use adb. Any terminal app should do it. Just tyope "su" before issuing the dd command. I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=nav_result. I suppose a word of caution would be to make sure you have the command correctly. Don't make a typo like mmcblk0p3 or you could be in a nasty situation.
Adb can be found in the android sdk. Google "android sdk" and download the appropriate one. After that have the sdk download platform tools.

An easy and safe way if you have the SDK installed is to run adb shell
Then type su
paste in the dd command posted earlier
Thanks....I went on google and am now learning about Android SDK. Interesting stuff. I know how I will be spending my weekend!
EDIT: In the meantime, I went ahead and used terminal emulator for the commands. I definitely like the touch interface...and it looks nicer than cwm for sure! It is a little slow graphically, but I think that can be forgiven based on the look of the interface.
Confirmed working on the p7510 wifi

Hi
It works like a charm on my 7500.
Thanks for that. Maybe some one could make the install more user friendly, a recovery zip?

I could create an update zip... if only I could remember where I left the signing tool...
This is a really nice recovery, thanks for posting it. And I think that with this recovery I can flash a zip from the command line, this will be really useful for my scripts.

BTW, I'm compiling it for the GT-P7510 (p4wifi), everything works fine, but I don't know how to fix the /sdcard error message, could you please tell me how to do it?
That is a nice one, thank you very much for this project.

^-- this works for the 7510 too
BTW it's just a line in recovery.fstab in the device sources: comment the /sdcard one.
Works great for me although it's a bit slow to boot into compared to CWM or even to TWRP on my brother's HP Touchpad. Also text is a bit pixelated. Other than that though it seems to work well. I use 4ext on my Nexus One so it's really nice to finally get a touch recovery on my tab too
