[Bootscreen] Android Supernova for Hero

Ported apoth's Supernova bootscreen for G1 to G2/Hero format simply because I liked it, and it's a cinch to do as it turns out. The file attached to this post is a signed update zip.
Graphics used with permission from apoth - see this thread for the original G1 version.
adb push bootscreen_Supernova_noSound_signed.zip /sdcard or manually copy to root of SDcard
Flash zip through recovery rom
(alternatively flash zip through DroidExplorer - never tried that myself though)

I initially tried with a higher frame delay (slower moving "supernova"), but to me, it just looked, for lack of a better word, "stuttery".

Its not working on Villain 4.0 beta2

look great... will try it

Not working on the New legendary rom 1.3.5

thanks its pretty cool

The Best!
This is my favorite bootscreen and believe me, I've tried them all!

Hey Everyone
I was having the same problem with the bootimage not loading. A member (papa smurf) was able to help me out. Here is his email (the bootimage is now loading fine):
yeah man thats an easy fix.
if you know how to use adb inside of command promt then hook up phone to computer and make sure it is on sync and debug is on then type this in the comand promt of your computer. to get to command promt go to the start button and type in cmd.
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb shell rm -r /system/media/bootscreen
then you can restart your phone.​
Note you could just do:
adb remount
adb shell
su (not sure if you need the su command here or not I usually just enter it any ways all the time)
rm -r /system/media/bootanimation.zip
rm -r /system/media/bootscreen
After those two files have been removed make copy the new bootimage zip file to the flash drive, reboot into revovery menu, flash from zip

[HOWTO] install and run Ubuntu inside phone

Installed and tested work on:
Azure 0919
Azure 1.0.1
Mdj 0.1
UPDATED script, tnx to TheGrammarFreak
1. Download ubuntu unzip and copy folder ubuntu to sdcard. (632MB zipped take a while, about 2GB unzipped)
2. Download my modified scripts and unzip them to ubuntu folder on your sdcard
3. Boot phone to recovery or fake-flash.
4. Start adb shell
5. cd /sdcard/ubuntu
6. sh ./ubuntu.sh

}
7. sh ./bootubuntu to test if it working, if you got prompt [email protected]
8. reboot phone
9. Open terminal on phone or adb shell
10. With terminal run su first then bootubuntu, on adb shell: only bootubuntu
11. update your system and install some good stuff:
apt-get update
apt-get install tightvncserver lxde openssh-server
set password for vnc
passwd root (for ssh access)
12. install whatever ubuntu stuff you need
Andriod-vnc apk

Sweet, will definetly try this out when I get some time over.
Good job!

Real sweet. I can't see any use for it myself, but that doesn't make the accomplishment any smaller.

Absolutely no use
But I could not resist to give it a go.

Mmmmmm, When i launch adb shell I have :
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Excellent work here snake. Don't see any use for it myself but definitely would impress my friends! Two thumbs up. Another milestone achieve for the Legend.

Did you (by any chance) try to copy/paste that error output into a Google search filed and hit enter??? You would have most probably got a gazillion of hits.

I try and walk =)
It is possible to make a full ubuntu rom replacing the system folder of Android by those of Ubuntu?
Just to see the performance of the phone.
ps : sorry i'm french...

Possible, yes. Of course it is. Likely? No. Unless you start a port.

On the nexus one we can boot from the SD card, why not on the legend ...
But the screen is too small for everyday use.

Boot from SD card? Well, look into how it's done, and see if it's possible on the Legend

I have found that sometimes bootubuntu doesn't work, and that changing all the "loop1" into "loop5" sorts it out... Just an observation

Try this way ?!

ok, will check it.

If we have to work on this, i think is better to try porting meego ...

That would be so nice that we could have both android and meego on our legend ! If you could keep us in touch with your progress, that would be nice ;-)

And just one quick feedback about ubuntu on my phone : I've a problem when I try to use ubuntu with the phone terminal, I've a "chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': no such file or directory", then a few errors with unmount (unpossible 'cause there's no such file or directory), and finally a losetup: /dev/loop5: Device or ressource busy...
Any idea ?
Thank you for your help.

[MOD] Accurate Battery

I was just informed that the hardware only supports 10% increments, has nothing to do with the software.
Project is now dead...
Well, I thought this would be fun to do.
After backing up the entire system, so it is easy to restore if the updates do indeed check all the files, I flashed my deodexed build on and then did this mod!
I am not posting the modded files unless I get a decent response from just this info. Let me know if you guys want this!

well, its not wiping stuff on boot if that is what you mean. I was talking about future updates, someone was saying it hash checks all the files on /system before it allows the update.

[Script][Rom Toolbox Pro][Busybox] Setup AOKP 4.1 to OC GPU on boot

So with the new AOKP builds you can set the gpu speed on the fly. It resets after rebooting and must be set again after each boot.
Well, I used ROM Toolbox Pro to create a script and run that script on boot.

I wanted mine set to 1 after each boot. You can modify the script to run at the faster "2" if you want. I don't recommend this though as it will use more battery and cause the tab to run hotter.
Open Rom Toolbox and go to Scripter in the Tools section.

}
Create a script and name it anything you want. Add what you see in the image and make it look just like this below (its also at the bottom of this post for easy copy/paste)
Save the script and you should see it in the list.
Now tap on the script in the list and select "Set at boot" when the menu comes up so that it runs on every boot.
You should see the icon on the right of the script name like shown below. This indicates that its set to run on boot.
Reboot and enjoy a faster tablet.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox echo "1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

I must be the only person who likes a fast tablet.

I think CM or AOKP always has init.d support.

This works no matter what. I don't need to edit init every time I flash a new build. Which is quite often.

ooo thank you

Thanks for your work on this.. I know it is for a different device, but I tried the code on my NS and it did improve my benchmarks?? No issues or stability problems.. I am using it as an init.d script, thanks..

i think overclock is not good for this tablet?

Need help with device blocks

Uhh... I kinda messed something very much up when compiling CM10.1 for I8190. I have no RIL but everything else is fine, IMEI, IMEISV, Serial number and all that jazz.
I've accidentally overwritten 4 device blocks while mistyping something in source code. Now I need some help here
I need you to pull a few device blocks from your phone for me.
Here is what I need from you:
Open your Terminal Emulator and type in these commands one by one. Once done please upload them for me from you external sd card and paste the links here. You can also zip them if you wish.
Thank you very much, Benz.
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p1.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p2.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p3.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p4.bin

Sorry to hear it didn't work. Anyway, good luck bro.

Thanks. Anyway yeah I've found a problem, the damn thing doesn't wanna mount /efs or /modemfs. I know that because it was supposed to create PERM/PROT and PERM/PLAIN directories on the first boot. Gonna take it to Sammy tomorrow they'll call it emmc bug.

Oh ok, but it does boot? Guess you have tried to restore those blocks as well.
Had problem with mmcblk0p11 & mmcblk0p12 blocks yesterday after a bad flash but I managed to restore them at last.

It does boot yes, but after persistent messing around with it, now I can't see my IMEI anymore.
I've rebooted to recovery, chmod 775 /efs and /modemfs cause they were read only, they actually have to be -rw (read+write) otherwise it won't work. But for some weird reason that happened.

R: Need help with device blocks
Sorry for this question... have you tried to restore an EFS backup and flash a stock rom?
