[Q]. Halo reach boot - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I was looking at the main page of xda and saw that the evo had a halo reach boot up. I was wondering if I would be able to use the boot for my epic?

Try and let us now. Personaly I've used boot animations from other devices my self
Android Creative Syndicate- From spontaneous ingenuity, comes creative brilliance

It should probably be fine as long as you have a ROM that allows custom boot animations. Give it a shot and see what happens.

There is a Black Ops boot in the themes section. Someone asked the OP if he can make a Halo ani. He said he might at some point.

Thanks every one. I will try. But I think I am going to wait till the 21 to see if the update comes or not since I just got this phone. Its my 3rd. Epic so I wanna start fresh with it. I really like the Frankenstein roms. And the viper sboot and shutdown. But that will be the first download after I get my phone back rooted

Anyone know if the boot screen will work over the Bonzai 3.0.1 ROM/kernel? I don't have my data transfer cable to re-flash/root in case something goes wrong. If someone can test and reply it'd be much appreciated.

This is what he's talking about. I'd love to see the puzzle lock screen ported too. I wish I knew how to dev so I could do it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I don't know how to port it but you can find it here at xda in the fascinate themes and apps section under the thread called (MOD) stock lockscreen and the file is enable_glass_lock. Also the captivate keyboard is there in update.zip format. Hope this helps someone maybe get the lockscreen ported over.
Hi:
Any word on this, or something similar? I have a Captivate, and after raving so much about how great it is, my boyfriend just got the Epic.
It's a great phone, but the lockscreen is very annoying. Does anyone know of a lockscreen replacement where you can swype in any direction like the Captivate, even if it doesn't have the puzzle aspect? I have found a couple of replacement locksreens, but they all seem to be iPhone style, slide to the side.
Thanks!

Or have any devs taken a look at this?
I want this so bad.
I am very interested in this as well. *fingers crossed*
I've tried a few times to no-avail. It seems while the remnants of the code are there, the full code is not. I'll look more into it after Official 2.2 releases. Until then, it would be quite pointless considering it would have to be redone for the 2.2 release.
Hey, any news on this? I came from an Evo Shift to the Epic a day ago.

Like I said, its a crazy thought but history is important. Just taking a stab at this since you wanted a bootanimation from the heydey. What do you think?

Is it possible to boot something like Ubuntu?

Can't you just take any old version ubuntu arm edition build, put
an android kernel in and boot it? Drivers are built into the kernel right? Other than there being no way to receive calls and texts unless, it don't see why it wouldn't work. You could probably make programs that allow you to send and receive calls.

The devs are working on it. They are under no obligation to develop for us and expect nothing in return. So either do something about it or shut up.

Yes i believe only HTC does that feature but.
IMHO, its not worth it because they don't properly shut off and start to lose battery life. My mother's EVO will say its been running for 118 Hrs but yet she only has the stock battery and it drains crazy even with Juice Defender. And when you shut it off it takes only 1 second and usually anywhere from 2 to 8 seconds to boot.
Ill take Cm7 and have my Boot-ani disabled so it boots fast enough.

Hence why i said its different pretty much and idc for fast-boot seeing how it screws up their phones, hence again why i said ill take my CM7 and have the boot-ani disabled so its can boot fast enough for me.
We can do whatever fastboot can do with kexec...I believe your talking about htc's sense "fastboot" which has nothing to do with fastboot in the google android sdk...

We won't have too many ROM options, besides AOSP and TouchWiz, until CM10 is officially released. It's out for the international version, but only time will tell how long it takes to reach our version of the device.
If you want to take a giant risk, go ahead and flash ParanoidAndroid for the international version, but it'll probably hard-brick your device.

Hard Brick? If this were Wikipedia I'd tag that with [Citation Needed]
I agree it will probably make it non-functional, but I find it hard to believe it's something that restoring an original sprint partition wouldn't fix.

Maybe so, but I've heard stories of people hard-bricking their devices by flashing kernels made for different devices.
If anyone really wants this type of ROM, go to TMO GN2 forums and look at DaGR8s ROM. Or join #saurom on freenode. I asked if he could bring it over but he would rather have me maintain it but I know zero when it comes to modifying stock roms, smali, etc lol.

I think today im goona mod back case for wireless. Im also coming for htc (evo 4g) and note 2 samsung is like beyond super user friendly.

No offense, but I don't understand what you're asking. I say this because Android 4 is the same on phones and tablets. I have ASUS Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and this phone, and both are running Android 4.1. The difference are more device specific about screen size and particular hardware.
The mods I've seen are more about squeezing more functionality out the device, such a WiFi tether and mutli-app. They don't bring a more tablet experience than what the device already is in my use thus far.

Your cruelty knows no bonds. Making me search, LOL. Took me a while to find something that showed it. Most just videos on found on Youtube left in the ROM(s) in phone phone mode. This one showed it best that I was able find first.
But yes, I get it now. The sad part, only a few apps I use really have tablet interfaces. I like a similar interface across devices if possible. Although, it would be nice if K9 had a tablet UI. But I digress....
Haha sorry.
Yea I meam to me with 5.5 inch screen its more tabletized to me so why not exploit it more. **** if you advertise it as a "phablet" then why not send it with the optionm?!

I like the idea of picking some apps to use in Tablet form. NFL Game Pass has a good tablet app; but I believe it's designed for 10" tablets, not the small ones such as Nexus 7. I like Chrome's interface on the tablet over the phone as well.
I have the ASUS Transformer Inifinity. Needless, some apps are interesting with their user interface.
Unfortunately, most apps on Android are still designed for the phone interface. As Android tablet get more popular, we'll see design interface incorporate the larger screens.
At the moment, I'm just happy to have a larger screen so I can see without having to zoom everything.
I hear ya but im constantly in settings and everywhere else hitting the back button a lot. Would be nice to have it all on 1 screen. Im gonna try and port PA. I would of bought or stayed with my evo. I want to see just how far I can take this lil big thing.

Yea, the settings is a nicer setup on my tablet. Switching tasks is a lot faster too. I just hit one button instead of holding it down. But I like this phone's recent task list. It actually closes the programs. I really like the clear memory option too. Why they can't incorporate a clear cache, is beyond me, but something I would like in that menu area.

not 100% sure, this flashes through recovery so if you have a custom recovery then it should work
The last time I looked into this I realized that a custom rom is actually needed because Samsung handles boot animations differently
