so you just plug your phone in and your computer has internet right? thats pretty cool. It doesnt lag much? Have you noticed any issues with it so far? Did you see that i put your facebook picture on there. lol

haha yeah i saw the fb pic. but thats why i asked if it was 32 or 64 bit cause i had to install the right version for my computer. yeah just plug it in and hit connect and your good to go. doesnt cost anything if you have a data plan. not much lag no. anyways... lol. back on the thread subject. i really dont know but it doesnt look that hard to be able to get this to work. if we can then i think this would be awsome. great find!!!

if i just new where the init.d folder is on our rom, (i cant find it) i would make an androidupdate.tar to push the 10bootanimation file to that location. Then all you would need to do is create a folder on your sd card called bootanimation.

so, i guess the question would be where do we put the script file...

Firstly you should edit the file, we don't need to mount and umount the sdcard.
make it easy and just add the call to the sysinit.rc and put the sh file is /system/bin.
I'm going to put this in my next ecliar build..

[Q] AmeriCan Android game resolution is too small!

I have the updated AmeriCan Android build and I downloaded Live Poker from the market. Screen looks fine until you actually get to a poker table and it's too small and cut-off. Would this be a problem with the build, the phone, or the game?

The right place for this question would be the thread of the build you are using.
There you have all the people that use this build and the developers of the build.
They would advice you to read the first post, thoroughly, and the FAQ to wich you can find a link in said first post of said thread.

Hey. Are you stalking me? Trying to undermine my neverending quest to teach people to use their head for what it's intended for insted of relying on others to wipe their behinds?

Well, me too. We are just taking different approaches.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and it will feed him all his life.
But you may be right with the stalking. I spend all my time searching for posts like this. When I find one, I give the TS an answer that will surely give him a headache. Then I wait around the corner for you to turn up.
Next time you find one of those posts, shaking your head in disbelief, wait a second before you start typing the correct answer. Quiet. Listen closely. Maybe you can hear my sniggering.

No, don't do this if you like the resolution for normal use.
Open the drawer and look for Spare Parts. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode". Now reboot and all your apps will run fine.

It's a bit easier, although the other way isn't that hard.
It depends on what you like. If you like the smaller status bar/icons so you've got a greater view (what you have at the beginning), then do it the way I explained.
If you prefer the bigger status bar/ icons, do it on your way.
Both ways will make the apps work in full screen, but they'll change the viewing experience.

I have the similar problem with this build [JUN23] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB234 CM71|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:ACA512-1].....however, I check all all the posts at where I got this built and found no help. I followed your advice to copy and paste the root folder to android root but after reboot, the problem persists. In fact, my main problem is: all of the icons are really small in and out of the app drawer.
Thanks for your time and help btw

Maybe you have to cut and paste not copy. Cutting it works for me, i.e. 240buildprop is empty.

[REQ] Galaxy S LWP on Atrix

With all the hype with the new 1.83 update just about over, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out with something?
I have been searching around trying to find a way to get some of the Galaxy S LWP's to work on the Atrix. Particularly the Ocean Wave with the ripple effect. There are a bunch of apps on the Market by ProSama that are very similar but all claim not to work on the Atrix. Why is this?
For some reason these LWP's don't actually manage to load or for that manner get past the "Loading Live Wallpaper" screen.
From a bit of searching around it looks like possibly one of two things. Either the resolutions are all wrong or the Atrix is missing some library files to make things happen, maybe the "libmnglw-0.8.2.so". Possibly a combination of both plus root access. New to android so I have no idea which.
I have attached all I have and was wondering if someone might have the time to look through them and find out why they may not be working on the phone? The library files are in the zip folders if anyone wants to have a look.
Thanks for any and all help.

I've loaded the lib file as it is required for the wallpapers. You will get a Force Close without it.
No joy though.
I suspect it's an issue with the resolution. I'll have to wait until I get home to dig into one of the packages.

You looking for these from the S2? Just download and install like any other app. They are very nice but they are not quite long enough for landscape. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/25/download-two-live-wallpapers-from-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/#

Ok... I see why they won't work.
First, the were written for Android 2.1 devices.
Second, the resolution is all wrong for the Atrix, they're hard coded for 800x480 screens.

Kinda what i was thinking. I'll spend some time maybe trying to replace the image with something to test it out. Any thoughts on the library file? Possibly needing root and pushing the file to the correct system folder?

Yep.. you need root so you can push the .so file to system/lib
As for the LP, you'll need to do more than just replacing the images.
The whole rendering is coded to 800x600.
There are several java components that will have to be updated and at least one xml config.

I managed to get the lib file in the correct directory. Used gingerbreak and gladenable. Then root explorer.
Played around in the apk resized the image. But that's where it ends for me. I'm a noob when it comes to Java sdk and signing the apk for that matter. I really do appreciate the help thus far.
I guess no time like the present to learn something new.

Monitor running app's code? IS-IT-POSSIBLE?

Hi!
I have spent like hours on google trying to find if there is already something like this out there, but so far I havent found anything, so thought I'd ask!
Think of the PC program, InstallRite which monitors the system for files & registry entries added, modified & deleted when a setup program is running; is it at all possible to find or even make an app that can "see" what is going on behind the scenes of a running program?
An example: say I was to download something random, not knowing anything about the file or what it does (yeah pretty stupid I know, but just using this as an example) and run it only to find its malicious and has screwed around with my operating system making it almost useless, wouldnt it be real usefull if an app was running that displayed everything it did, every line of executed code so you could see what it did!
Does anybody know of such a program / app that'd do this?
I eagerly await your replies!
Arty.

It would be so beneficial to me as I am always interested in how things work, what they do and why, so if there was such a thing i'd be in my element hehe
I just hate it when trying to google stuff like this, its not practical to hunt through over a million results just to find stuff thats not relevant to what I wanted to search for

Wouldn't you just use logcats for this? And kernel messages? That usually tends to show you everything your phone is doing...but I may be wrong.

Anyone know how to replace it or remove it? I got my unit a bit ago and rooted it already but I can't remember how I killed it on my note 3.

If you mean during the bout sequence/splash screen then you just have to replace that file .gif.... I wouldn't be able to help you with how though as I don't have a clue where it's located on the note 4....
Most custom Roms replace this for you, I'm sure some developers will have some sweetness for you soon.

On my note 3, I put my phone on vibrate before rebooting.

Use a root explorer, navigate to root/system/media/audio/ui and find poweron.ogg
You can delete it or do like I do and just put an "x" after the ogg, that way if you want it back you can just delete the "x" and it functions as normal.
Hope it helps .

It was confusing people cause you assumed people would know it was the start up screen jingle instead of ringtone. More detail would eliminate this issue.
