Miui users, the new menu arrangement looks poo poo. Can I change it to the more traditional look? To clarify, this is the menu that pops up when you press the menu key. Ragingsheep fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Dec 19, 2010 |

Magnificent Quiver posted:Rom Manager is a pain in the dick a lot of times and you're better off just sideloading the ROM and booting to recovery yourself. I've never had any issues with Rom Manager and my OG Droid. I've used it to backup and restore when switching ROMS as well as Kernels. Up until recently the only issues I've had is the listing of some of the Kernels in their Pro Download section and them not being available.

I quite agree, i've never had any luck with Rom Manager and pretty much bypass 90% of the cool things its supposed to do. The latest was renaming nandroid backups, I found out the hard way they wouldn't restore (for me), their fine if I don't put a custom name on 'em. Anyhow enough bitching, does Amon Ra work as advertised? Does everyone that uses it like it? EDIT: this is through multiple different roms N1 att

I rename all of my nandroid backups when I copy them over to my computer, and I've never had a problem flashing anything. In fact, I was happy (at first) that the root method for my old Hero (which I just got around to rooting) installed ClockworkMod...but ROM manager didn't work worth a gently caress anyhow, so I gave up and just started ignoring it.

Yeah, maybe i'll give Amon Ra a whirl, I'm itching to play with some new software anyways.  Anymore input re Amon Ra or Clockwork gratefully accepted!

Dumb question - I just rooted my old HTC Hero for fun and installed CM 6.1. I was playing around with the sittings and noticed that JIT is disabled. Is there any reason why I shouldn't enable it?

Newest MIUI added: Theme Downloader Split themes (can apply the icons from one, sms from another, overall system from a 3rd, boot animation etc etc) More functionality in built in backup Tracker which works like Stats from the market on crack - tracks usage of SMS/minutes/data, and allows you to force specific apps to Mobile only or Firewall only. Oh, it also lists how much up/down each app has used, and I believe it persists across reboots. MIUI Music got an update. I love MIUI  I wonder how long it'll take for MIUI to start seeing GB builds...

So I want to change the Cyanogen startup from its funny little circle thing to just a list of the starting services, much like Linux. Is there an animation I need to download and install or can I just remove the cyanogen boot animation and thats what it will do?

I found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705064quote:Hey guys, droppin in to add something to the forum real quick before bed..... I got my hands on the newest ESPRIMG.nbh and in messing with it i realized we all flashed that eng build in order to be able to flash custom ROMs etc. Well in doing so we also all downgraded our radio to 7.07.35.02S..... Well i doubt u guys remember but the newest Radio is 7.08.35.04S... Anyways, i built a new "SlideMeRoot3" and included the radio in the installation package as well as apps2sd but need to discuss it with Eugene before releasing it. Soooo i made a quick update package for u guys with the newest radio until then. Install as u would any custom ROM on slide by rebooting to stock recovery, applying update.zip to boot into our temp recovery, and apply .zip from SD. You can do this over any ROM so dont be alarmed, i just wanted to get us back up to par with the release build. So now we have the release ROM AND the release radio. You can expect all the same improvements as having the newest radio on any other device (increased battery life, signal strength etc) But dont quote me on that lol..... CR I can confirm the radio on the phone is 7.07.35.02S. Should I try this radio update? If so, does anyone have step by step instructions? EDIT: Apparently, there's an even newer radio: 7.09.35.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745874 EDIT 2: gently caress it. I updated it through ROM Manager. No speed improvements, but at least I didn't fry the phone.

Negatory. There is a default boot animation built into android and it's really boring.

It's pretty simple to make and install your own boot animations. It boils down to a PNG sequence with a desc.txt descriptor file that controls it.code:The second line is animation, number of repeats, and folder of the first part. So it will animate from the folder part0 once with no pause. The third is the same as the second, only with the second part. In this one, it repeats the animation forever until the OS is fully loaded. I'm sure there's a better explanation for it but those are the basics I understand. Here's one I made for the nook color devs auto-root script:  Of course it's much smoother, this is 30 frames where the actual one is 90. I haven't yet figured the best way to make gif previews of them.  If there is a consensus on a generic but cool enough idea for a boot animation I'll make one for this thread.

You'd have to rewrite the Android boot up to support it as far as I'm aware, because Verbose mode is not supported. The iOS port probably uses a distinct boot method which has support built in. Android is Linux and Open Source, hence the ports. You could make it happen, but I'm pretty much positive it's not as simple as changing a flag somewhere.

My buddy has a Droid X and is trying to root it using the method linked in the OP, http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=40&g=posts&t=553 He has tried repeatedly and every time it hangs up about 2/3 of the way through. I am trying to relay over fb chat because he is in the next state over, any idea why it wont go? he is following the steps exactly he says. Edit NVM theres an updated program for users with the 2.2 update, I sent him the link hopefully that works.

I just helped the guy write the guide to changing the nook color's boot screen, which the instructions I used were from other sites, I just helped put it all in one place Rooting a nook color is terribly easy, especially if you're on the newest update firmware.

Muuuuuch thanks to pokey9000 and the rest of the guys that put the automation scripts together. God drat I am excited to have a tablet PC. Now if B&N makes good on their promise for 2.2, which includes editing google docs IIRC, I'll have more or less my dream device for a mere $250. I seriously cant believe B&N didnt just launch this as a full on tablet. They would be MURDERING the market with a full function tablet at $250 right before xmas. edit: Also they need to support more codecs I hate having to convert everything to MPEG4.

Uhm, swype is part of the stock ROM, not just something you install. So updating the stock ROM, then wiping and installing Cyanogen won't get you Swype. Just get the official beta, they accept everyone instantly now. edit: And yeah, TB everything and you won't lose anything.
