How do I replace the 2.1 green htc w/white background to the original 1.5 htc hero silver w/black background and same for the hero logo from the original stock to replace that welcome to now ulgy animation. I have the image files and sound file for the 1.5 stock. I just don't know the commands and if I need to do anything special like rename files etc.
Two different processes - the first screen you see is your splash screen. In order to change this you need to run eng spl....you will find that if you search the forums....it involves setting s-on to s-off and enabling fastboot....
The second thing you see, the animation, is your boot screen...you can replace that with your current one by making it the same name....just remove the old one and put your preferred one in its place....you can do this via adb or with root explorer....
I don't remember the location of the bootscreen zip file in 2.1 because I haven't used it in a long time and I know its different than 2.2...but I am sure someone that uses it could tell you or you could prob find it by searching sense boot animations

For the boot animation, it's /system/media. That's where mine is.
EDIT: oops, that's on 2.2. Sorry.

Will rage thee cage method work now that my n1 us unlocked?
Is there a noobs guide to rage the cage? Also I haven't done much research on the radio. Would I need to download something for it? I'm lost as hell. THNKS FRG83
It will still work, but if you're unlocked it's pointless. Flash a custom recovery and use that in install a rooted update.zip (ChainsDD)

I flashed amon-ra's recovery and once I rebooted I got an android with a "!". The guide I used was on nexusonefourums. It said that if I got that symmbol that I was not rooted. I used modacos frf91 superboot to root. I was told it'd work. Apparently not.
O and now my wifi doesn't work at all. It just says error under settings-wireless.
Easiest way to see if you have root is to download a flashlight app from the market that requires root, and see if it works.
I always understood that the exclamation android guy was because you had stock recovery (I'm sure someone will correct me).

No need, you're spot on. Unless you remove a couple of files, the stock recovery is re-installed.

There is. "Root FRG33/83 without unlock" contains the thread with the explanation, and "SuperOneClick root app" is simple to use. Both in "Guides".
To the OP: Read the Wiki, for God's sake. The questions here come over and over again, and the interesting threads and questions all get lost in the maze of "how to root my phone". There's a guide for flashing recovery, read under "Recovery", and it says - "for unlocked bootloaders". That would save you the trouble of trying to root through rageagainstthecage method, because with unlocked bootloader you don't need any of that. There's also a guide, called "Flashing custom ROMs", at "Guides and Tutorials". That would cover everything you need.
N1 torch asked for super user permission and the full brightness is now working. It wouldnt work without root. So im rooted.... hate to ask it but.... now what? do amon-ra again?
Looking to add CyMod... and whats the deal on the updating my radio? do i need to? I hate being ignorant, but I gotta ask to learn.. Or I could brick my 500 dollar phone.
Pretty sure you're still on stock recovery, so yes, flash Amon Ra or Clockworkmod (if you're on an SLCD screen, only Amon 1.8 or 1.9 will work).
The wiki has instructions, or use Clockworkmod ROM Manager (but read the wiki either way).
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Good heads up danger-rat. Downloads most recent radio and updated. I used rom manager and flashed most recent clockwork recovery. Now my next problem is getting cyanogenmod to download through Tom manager. It got 95% complete and said "rom download error. Google Apps: (outside link I can't post because of being a new member)" in my notifications.
Found a manual download site for gapps hdpi. Hopefully I can install it correctly

sounds like if this would work or be possible that this would definitely go in the DEV section because it would help fix our bootlooping phones when they happen and it will happen to some if not many before an sbf or cwm is available. if i am wrong please move to proper place. Sorry
NO i am not bootlooping yet but was wondering if anyone was (stuck on a bootloop) maybe they could try this method below and confirm that this BP tools when boot looping does or does not work for bionic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236465
I have tried it in every mode recovery fastboot sfb bp only bp****** and BP tools
and none of them apparently let me have adb access but as soon as i reboot and go back into the phone normally i have adb again
I am sure that most of you would see the potential to get this working so we can correct mistakes when we make them and it would make modding the system a lot easier considering we could correct it if it bootlooped on us.
Please MODs with experience does this have any merit as being possible on the bionic
Thanks
Ive been bootlooping every time i reboot im tired of wiping mu phone and reseting everything.

I have a bionic which I replaced my app folder with a non full system app dump and because of this my phone is now bootlooping. Do we have a fix for this yet?
For those that have a boot loop bionic please try the steps in the thread in first post and see if it works for you and let me know
If this can fix a bootloop then we can do a lot more changing to our phones without being afraid of it screwing something up.

I am stuck in a bootloop right now and can try this out. I haven't used adb before or the terminal but am familiar with how it works.
Which directory must I navigate to in the terminal before spewing those commands listed in the link in the thread of the OP?
I may be completely off here but if I understand bootloop correctly(the device goes to the droid screen, then the eye, then back to droid,then eye, repeat)I've ran into bootloop twice if that's what it is. The one thing that got me through this was actually to pull the battery, hold both volume buttons then power to get into the Boot Mode Selection Menu and select the first option which I believe is Normal Boot. This worked both times to go from looping on those two screens to a perfect boot. Have no idea if this will help but thought I would throw it out there.
If you're bootlooping, SBF (or FTZ? now) - problem solved. You will never find an app or whatever you are looking for that will prevent a bootloop. We root our phones and play with system files, replace frameworks, etc. That comes with the territory. If you want to avoid bootloops - don't root and stay stock.
And post questions in general. Questions do not belong in development. You just (and consequently myself) bumped an actual development thread down.

I can not since it is to large of a file to upload to xda's .zip attachment system.
It won't let me download, can you dropbox it?

Not at the moment but tomorrow I might be able to do so.
Can anyone else download and upload to dropbox so end users can download straight to their Zio?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
Believe it or not, I just had someone offer me (sum too much to speak of) for my Zio, so I just sold it tonight.
Ironic, eh?
But, the good thing is that I can go get another one since Cricket is still selling them for only ~$50 but I have to wait a few weeks till I actually have enough to get the first month of service (wish I could just buy the phone but, whatever).
Anyway, so while I won't be participating at this precise moment, here's my contribution - the first ROM uploaded to Dropbox as requested. I haven't used my Dropbox account since I created it, so I have no idea how the hell it works to be honest (signed up so a friend got more space or whatever, no idea). I believe this link will get the download for anyone, but I'm not sure about the bandwidth potential and it getting throttled or capped or whatever.
Regardless, here ya go:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019338/v0.1.zip
Hope to be testing this thing soon but, it'll be a while.
So I've flashed the rom and it has plenty of extra memory, I'm not seeing much difference in ram. Also the cricket mobile web app is not needed since it is only a shortcut to the browser, and since there is no browser you can get rid of it and some of the other cricket stuff.

The cricket's apps appear for you? O.O
On my phone they are not there......
Which one's are still auto-installing themselves onto our phones?
I have a script that can remove those applications from our phones if they are still appearing for some of you.
The ram difference isn't available yet due to my init.d script not working either because of the kernel or my permissions or something else.
This is no where near finished yet

So far my experience with this phone is that the wiping dies not erase anything. So the stock apps will not be gone unless the end user removes them. I installed a custom boot screen over the cricket one and it has never been removed. Even after I restored the stock image it was still there.
I will be installing vbox on my laptop's windows 7 OS later and unpacking the kernel stickied on the forum and the one in open zio to see why init.d scripts aren't working and what are the differences I'll maybe have an updated release of the rom next week....

I noticed that myself, as I can't get the cricket stock apps to re-appear but I have a script for you all to run if you want those apps gone. It wont work though until I figure out this init.d startup script problem. As for your "boot screen" do you mean splash image or boot animation?

the boot animation. before spaz created his rom the only way i could install a different boot animation was to overwrite the stock images with alternate ones for a custom boot experience. I removed all the cricket apps right after I got the phone plus half of the google junk that i dont use.
edit...
hey i just installed your rom. only one small issue you should include some kind of file browser so we wont have to push one onto the system to access our data. also it would be nice if you could add the reboot option like spaz did.
It's because I didn't do a wipe of the data partition. I figured the updater script would do the wiping.

Mattix nope it doesn't wipe the data partition that's why I instructed to do so
As for jlmancuso I have never added a reboot option to the end button long-press options. But I can add a file browser Is ES File Explorer okay? Or would a different one be better?
I use ES file explorer myself. Though any browser of your choosing would be perfectly acceptable. I like the stripped down style. Keep up the good work.
I'd say root explorer but it's a paid app... I can also make a backup of gapps and upload a zip.

were the force closes due to not having a browser at first boot of the rom? or when you have a browser downloaded from the market does it still force close?
if so in both situations i may have pulled to many apps. i'm still working on them rom atm

So far l know uber kernel boots on M but flashing su results phone not booting so would appear needs a little edit somewhere?
There was an article I saw yesterday, forgot where, said if you use 2.46 you could get root. Obviously wrong but screwed up some I bet.
+1
If some of you guys have more time than me, they could implement root for Android M quite easily.
But in order to do so, you need to know how to unpack a Kernel, modify the RAMdisk, repack the kernel and flash it.
Early Android L used the same method. The procedure itself is not that complicated but requires some time and worst case you need to perform some "reverse engineering" by unpacking a already modified Kernel in order to figure out, how exactly it works.
Depending on your skills, it might be a work of 1-2 hours.

Someone got root on M by disabling SELInux by adding androidboot.selinux=disabled to the kernel command line.
I tried that, it booted fine, but flashing SU resulted in a bootloop. He said that replacing the init file (and replacing it with a one from CM) in the ramdisk allowed it to boot, but I've tried that also, but the phone didn't boot (when I flashed SU, it booted otherwise fine).
I'm pretty sure SELinux hasn't been disabled from the kernel command line (with that command), so there has to be a different way (that idk of) to disable SELinux from the ramdisk files.

The boot animation is displayed but the system didn´t start yet. Maybe it´s caught in a boot loop. I´ll give it some time though because I also cleared the cache & Dalvik cache and the first start of Android M also took a while, before the system booted.
