Flashed Revolt for a friend of mine. He didn't like the bootanimation of the Droid Bionic on his revolution, especially since it was really laggy. So I made this flashable zip to replace the boot.img animation with the stock LG Revolution one.
Thought I would share rather than keeping to my self. Kinda lame that you can't change the bootanimation by putting it in /system/media. *sigh* Oh well. Flash this using recovery.

Thanks! It is laggy this should be good

Awesome. There was one posted in another thread somewhere
I like the bionic boot.. didn't notice lag but haven't seen actual bionic for comparison

Anyone want to make a Nexus Prime CWR zip boot animation?

Started working on it yesterday lol. I'm afraid the images are too big though

aww man that sucks Thanks for trying though!
Ya, with it being embedded in the boot.img makes things difficult. There is only a certain amount of space to work with in the boot.img and unfortunately there isn't much.

Thanks - as much as I liked the Droid one, it was too laggy
The whole boot animation is just 1 example of why this phone sucks. Without being able to use any boot screen you want, you can't truly customize your phone to your tastes.

Looks legit for sure.
Yeah not fully excited yet till it actually does something after getting into the custom recovery. It is one large step forward though.
That's so awesome, I cannot wait!!

Looks awesome and very user friendly. I wonder what the chances are for a port for the Revo?
http://m.androidcentral.com/first-look-teamwin-recovery-project-twrp-20
That is awesome...
It's only for Honeycomb Tablets though
It has already been ported to some Android phones i.e. thunderbolt been using it for months especially when that buggy clockwork came out and backups weren't working

Yeah, I noticed that it was ported for some phones. Would be nice to see it make it's rounds to ours, but this would definitely mean some "near brick experiences" would be in order.
Unfortunately, our guru in this field has been AFK for a while...
I would like to see it as well it is definitely faster

Looks nice - would certainly be a plus to have that for the Revolution
So tonight I found out why I loved my Droid so much... I installed the newest cm7 via ROM manager, first time using it pretty nifty, went and installed a new oc kernel that oced to 1.25. Ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and the revo only does 200 points better... I miss that old hunk. If it had a 4G radio I would still be on it lol

CM7 is no promise that your phone will suddenly be perfect. The revo will also need to be added to the official device list to truly make CM7 on the phone awesome. Then we will get real dev support (that is not a knock on anyone here or Cubed just have the actual cyanogen guys supporting the device is preferred)
What's better the Droid RAZR or the RAZR maxx?
I've been Supercharged and Gingervolted!
Ever thought about the rezond?
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Yes. But I wanted to go back to the Droids again.

I have done a lot of research and I think the Razr Maxx is the way to go. It is the only 4G Big-Screen Android that comes with a battery that will last all day without charging.

They're basically the same phone except the battery, and now there is a $118 kit for the Razr to adapt the MAXX battery, so why not save the money and get the MAXX right off the bat.
Or get the last developer phone Verizon will likely every get.
Galaxy all the way.
Rezound!

Tell him to use the face unlock. Or there's a pattern or pin# method too. Yeah I've ran multiple benchmarks and stock vs. vs stock, I always beat the nexus. Definitely happy with this purchase.

shiiiiit maybe if you don't turn the screen on, or get any phone calls, or even look at the thing Mine lasts all day with the extended battery
Need input, guys.
I've got a Bolt and a guy off of Craigslist is offering to trade his two day old Revolution with extended battery for my Bolt with extended battery.
What do you guys think about that? How does your phone compare? Is there good development for the Revolution? I only saw a couple of active ROMS on here.

There's mainly one ROM creater, MT, but the thunderbolt is getting ICS and prolly has more devs. Its up to you. But LG support for this phone sucks. If you like the t bolt stick with it.

This is my opinion but keep the Thunderbolt. I was gonna choose that phone over the Revo but I chose the Revo and I'd say it was my biggest mistake since I like the Bolt more but the Revo's community is quite nice and welcoming not so sure about the Thunderbolt's.

Haha. Yeah there are some prima donnas on the Bolt message boards. Well he's agreed to give me his Revolution with 3000mAh battery plus $40 for my Bolt with 2 extended batteries (2400&2600mAh) and Trident Extended Battery cases.
Are there any recommended extended battery cases for the Revolution?

There are no cases for the revo that fit the extended battery. Sucks

As of right now the only way to root it is to manually flash it with ZV7. You can then use MT's tools to root it, get your update to ZV8, and finally flash the Broken Out 1.1 ROM (which is awesome by the way).

Got it. So just downgrade to ZV7 and then root.
Cool. I'll mess with that in a couple of days. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum please feel free to post and ask questions, there are a lot of supportive people here that make the revo shine.
The downside is theres only a few rom devs the upside is the commun. While small its personal and you get the help you need quick. No cm7 yet but the roms we do have are solid and get updated quickly and often.
Well the guy backed out on it but I appreciate the positivity. Definitely lacking that on the Bolt forum.
