[BootAnimation] DroidX for CM5/CM6 (High Quality)

Boot animation for CM5 and CM6.
I redid the original DroidX boot animation as best I could and was very pleased with the quality of the port.

1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on the root directory of your SD card
3. Open the terminal app and enter:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
OR
If you want to save internal space you can replace the original boot animation from /system/media with the new one using ADB or, the easier way, with DroidExplorer (de.codeplex.com)

This was already posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710075

I saw that one but I wanted one that had the same size and quality as the original, so I made my own. The other one was cropped and cut out the sides of the animation.

Nice stuff, Thanks!

Thanks, glad you like it!

Love it would love it more if it was blue instead of red

You're the man! I have a G1 & Aria. Turns out the Aria also uses the same bootanimation as the G1. I was using the Droid X bootanimation but like you stated it cuts off some of the image. Thanks a lot for this!

Not "neon" but Green and Orange.
Make sure you rename to bootanimation.zip

sorry to bother so much about it, im in love with neon colors. one more question. would it be possible for it the boot animation to fade from a neon-ish green to a neon-ish green back and forth a few times?

How to enter in the information in Terminal Emulater??
Kinda of a weird question, but I don't know and that is why I'm asking.
So after I have put the bootanimation.img onto the root of my sd and I open the emu. I type su.... now do I press enter and continue with process or do I just type the whole code or do I press enter to make it look like how you have it?
Example:
su <enter>
blah blah <enter>
bloah bloah <enter>
reboot <enter>
I have a G1 running Cyanogen 5.0.8, have the newest radio, I think I'm pretty much up-to-date as far as my taste goes.
P.S. Thanks and your work is AWESOME!

I went into the terminal emu and after I type "cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/" I get a "not found". So is it cp(space)/sdcard/bootanimation.zip/data/local/? Also do I have to rename the file to bootanimation.zip?
Thanks man for all your help!

just getting board......have you done this?
can you give me screen shots on pc?

OP thanks for the info, i was able to change my provider to another one.
did anybody found a code which accepts all the different sims?
its tedious to edit bml15 every time i want to swap a sim.

maybe we could ask openline phones to upload their bbml15.bin so i can compare the strings on the addresses...they would be on same address

Create a script to automate the process (theory).

maybe you could make one?? but the important thing is the mcc mnc of an openlined bml15.bin

already done that...maybe forum mods might want to move it there

An appeal to upload your "openline/unlocked" bml15.bin
guys, if anyone of you have an unlocked/openline phone, please upload your bml15.bin.. Seriously, this thread booms with potential. You can at last forget about going to a service center just to get your unit openlined.
@devion14
i'll be making a flashable zip if there is an openline bml15.bin uploaded. and i expect you will be the first daredevil to try and attest the validity of this thread
PS. I wonder if bmlunlock will work with this bml15.bin.

Agree. Perhaps in millions of SGYs shipped there is at least 1 who is factory unlocked?

[Q] CM9 & Swapper

Hello
i want to expand the memory a little bit
so tried to use
Swapper - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper&hl=en
Swapper 2 (for root users) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2
then testing with free command on the Terminal Emulator
but it's still showing me that the swap equals to zero
so my question is "does CM9 support swap file"
and if yes "how can i create a working swap files"

If you're using Arco's CM9, then I can say: Yes, it supports swap files. See below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As for "how to create one" ... here's how:
1. Creating a Swap File
Determine where you will place your swapfile* . For purposes of illustration, I will use /xxx/yyy. Remember to change this to the actual directory!
Open Terminal
Enter these commands; do not type the numbers, remember to replace /xxx/yyy with an actual path, and replace zzz with the size of swapfile you want (in MiB)
Code:
su
cd /xxx/yyy
touch .SWAP
dd if=/dev/zero of=/xxx/yyy/.SWAP bs=1048576 count=zzz
mkswap .SWAP
Test the swapfile with the following code, again in Terminal:
Code:
swapon /xxx/yyy/.SWAP
free
Once you see that the swapfile is working, turn it off again.
Code:
swapoff /xxx/yyy/.SWAP
2. Activating Swap File on Boot
Download the attached 99swap.txt
EDIT the downloaded 99swap.txt !! You must replace /xxx/yyy with the actual directory.
Optionally, replace the SWAPNESS value (range between 0 ~ 100)
Make sure you have a working init.d! If your ROM does not support a working init.d, then stop; see next section
Rename the file to 99swap
Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d (remember to mount /system rw first)
Open terminal, and enter the following commands:
Code:
cd /system/etc/init.d
chown root.shell 99swap
chmod 4755 99swap
ls -l 99swap
Reboot your phone, and check the logfile, which should be /data/local/99swap.log
3. Activating Swap File on Boot using Script Manager
Download Script Manager here
From within SManager, find your edited 99swap.txt file, and tap on it
Activate "Root" and "Boot" buttons, then tap on "Save"
Reboot your phone, and check the logfile, which should be /data/local/99swap.log

Cool
One tip : Change the SWAPNESS value to 40. After extensive testing, I think 40 is better than the current value of 20.

thanks for your method, it works very well and I solved the problem with the ram of my I8150 and some related freezing.
I have only a problem with the activation on boot, I followall the steps but in the log file is always explained that "the directory ttt/ttt was not found. Is it mounted ? " (ttt/ttt is the correct folder of the .SWAP file).
I have this problem either on internal and external sdcard (I prefer the internal because it's too quick without lagging).
Can you help me understandig the problem ?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my English.
I run on Samsung I8150 + Cyanogenmod9 rc8 - fully working with 350 mb of swap file on internal sd (reserved for cwm backup and swap, I used the CM9 option for cross the internal and external sd.

Yeah, it seems some ROMs mount the directories late; when the script triggers, the SD cards (internal/external) are not there already.
I have been playing with nohup command, but I just can't get it to run reliably on such ROMs.
So, I suggest going the SManager route instead. It's much more reliable. Besides, you really *don't* want to use a Swapfile during Boot; it slows down things because when the kernel sees that swapfile is available... it starts swapping (almost) right away. You'll need Swapfile during normal usage, so activating the Swapfile after the phone finishes booting actually makes more sense...
(BTW, I'm sorry I can't maintain this anymore... I no longer have my W; it's been handed over to my little-brother-in-law, and I've moved on to a new phone...)

Yeah, it seems some ROMs mount the directories late; when the script triggers, the SD cards (internal/external) are not there already.
I have been playing with nohup command, but I just can't get it to run reliably on such ROMs.
So, I suggest going the SManager route instead. It's much more reliable.

thank you very much for your reply, I understand that is not mine mystake if it'sn run
I will continue to launch the swap file using the terminal emulator and swapon command but...
as the folder addre is too much long and write it anytime manually in the terminal emulator is possible to create some script or anything else to be launched manually without writing anytime all the command line (similar to an .bat file,sorry I don't known linux and on , I'm still a winzozz slave..) ?
sorry for my bad english explaination, and in any case thank you for your interesting and support.
best regards
+++updated+++ I solved in the terminal emulator - left touch for setup - initial command - I wrote
'su' - "press enter"
'swapon /xxx/yyy/.SWAP' - "press enter"
now everytine I open the terminal emulator the swap file starts automatically, so I need only to tap the app and after exit.
too easy,too quick
thanks a lot, you solved my situation. now I link2sd finally check the ext3 secondary primary partition on the sd I solved everything (but it's difficult, I create the ext3 partition resizing the existant fat 32 primary partitionand thisi is a trouble, I suppose...

[Kernel] X11 support in Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Nexus (maguro)

As you know there is no support for X11 in Ubuntu Touch with default CM10 kernel. To be more correct: there is no VT (virtual terminal) devices in Ubuntu Touch at Android layer. So you can install X11 but you can't run it! I decided to fix it and made kernel with VT support. Now it's possible to run X11 server and your favorite desktop environment. However there are some bugs with it: qml-phone-shell (which is Touch Shell) renders at top level and X11 - at bottom. Still you can interact with both of them: Touch Shell on phone and X11 over VNC. Another bugs are green tint on phone display and slow x11 render.
X11 over VNC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Installation:
1. Get Kernel:
View attachment boot.img
2. Flash it with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. And now you can install X11, x11vnc and desktop environment (e.g.: xfce4):
Code:
sudo apt-get install xorg x11vnc xubuntu-desktop
4. Also you need valid config for X11:
View attachment 99-omap.zip
5. Unrar it and put to device:
Code:
adb push 99-omap.conf /data/ubuntu/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-omap.conf
6.Reboot phone
7. Set password for x11vnc server:
Code:
x11vnc -storepasswd <your_passwd>
8. Start x11vnc server:
Code:
sudo x11vnc -dontdisconnect -notruecolor -noxfixes -shared -forever -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbauth /home/phablet/.vnc/passwd
Now you can connect to device with VNC Client.

How does this compare in performance to using a remote X server, as in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161884
With that method I found most applications to perform decent except QtCreator.
Having to render the x server on the phone itself I would think wouldn't perform that fast.

That's true. X Server on phone slow enough and your way is better. Perhaps this one is alternative and require only VNC client or not require client at all. If you stop qml-phone-shell, X11 will be rendered to device. So this kernel is for testing purpose only.

VNC?
Great achievement. Can you run Xserver on its own dedicated VT when VT switching is enabled? What is VNC needed for in this scenario?
I will report a bug at launchpad so that the upstream (ubuntu-touch) kernel enables VT switch.

You mean to use another tty? That's possible, since there lot of them. VNC server and client will be same (e.g. x11vnc and UltraVNC).

The X11 server can't talk to the GPU directly, even without acceleration? In that case you could drop VNC completely.

You can stop phone-shell with
Code:
service ubuntu-session stop
I installed gnome on my SGS2 GT-I9100 (worked without modifying kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188621 ), now I can start gdm with:
Code:
service gdm start
I have some trouble with onscreen keyboard in gdm (onboard), but you can enable autologin in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Code:
[daemon]
# Enabling automatic login
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = phablet
With this /etc/X11/xorg.conf even the touchscreen works (in a laptop-touchpad way):
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen "Screen0"
InputDevice "cyttsp-i2c" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "cyttsp-i2c"
Driver "multitouch"
# MatchIsTouchpad "true"
# Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer" "true"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Rotate" "CW"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/graphics/fb0"
# rotate screen to be in sync with touchpad orientation
Option "Rotate" "OFF" # OFF=0 CW=90 UD=180 CCW=270
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
EndSection
(don't forget to install xserver-xorg-input-multitouch for touchsceen!)
Unfortunately I messed up my packaging system (didn't work because no space left on device, now even apt-get install -f can't repair it ), so i will have to try again i guess...

no VT needed?

Does that mean that I can run xorg on Nexus 10 with the official preview images - if I stop ubuntu-session, which occupies the only virtual terminal? (Sorry for perhaps a dumb question, I don't want to re-flash ubuntu-touch over CM again just to try that).

The X11 works with framebuffer (which is fb0), not with GPU. You can use VNC to view X11 from phone to host. X11 can be viewed on phone without VNC.

I see. This is better than making new kernel, and require only correct config for xorg. I saw few solutions: one from BukaKing,one with Xvfb, mine kernel, and yours is best one!

I've worked around the virtual terminal issue by linking PTMX in the past.
just make a new Virtual Terminal device
Code:
rm /dev/ptmx
mknod --mode 666 /dev/ptmx c 5 2
/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure

Thanks for the info, great thread! I'm hoping to run a single dedicated X11 app, no real need for the original interface. That said, this seemed like a good starting point.
In case it helps anyone, attached is a kernel boot image I just built for a Nexus 7 wifi (Grouper) that has CONFIG_VT enabled. Ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.1.10.
Thanks,

[DISCOVERY] Looking for info to try to support recovery on International honor 5X

If you're in the USA, TWRP and root are available for you here - but only if you have the KIW-L24 model:
[TWRP] for KIW-L24 USA (kiwi)
^^ That recovery is not recommended or tested for any version other than KIW-L24 as of February 10, 2016.
So here's the situation:
We may be able to support other versions for international users
We make no promises
We are providing a tool and instructions for you to give us the information we need about your version
We make no promises
You MUST give the information exactly as we request
No personal information is being gathered - none
We've made it as easy as possible, you don't have to be an expert
We may have to come back and ask you for more information
We make no promises
But we are willing to try if you want to help
Instructions:
Download the attached zip file and unzip it on your phone - ES File Explorer or equivalent is fine
Run the script: find-honor.sh
Copy the contents of /sdcard/found-honor.txt to http://hastebin.com
Post the link to your hastebin here in the thread
DO NOT post the output here - we're not going to manage to that - only post your hastebin.com link, ok
You may run the script however you like:
adb shell or Terminal Emulator
or just use SH Script Runner (instructions on that will come later in the thread)
Shell/terminal instructions:
cd to the folder where you unzipped the script
Execute the following command:
source find-honor.txt
How to upload:
Go to the found-honor.txt file in your file browser
/sdcard, /storage/emulated/0 and Internal Storage all mean the same thing on your phone
Open, select all, copy
Paste and save to hastebin.com
Pictures follow, in my example I use the built-in Files app
Go to the internal storage, tap on find-honor.txt
OK to open Just Once with HTMLViewer
Long press any word to get menu on bottom
Select all, then copy
Goto http://hastebin.com and paste
Find the disk image in the upper right corner to save
Post the link
Your output will look similar to http://hastebin.com/norufikubu.avrasm

Welcome to the forums.
http://hastebin.com/ujotesawow.md
Another 2/16 KIW-L21 - thanks!

@WidosFTW or @racing2410
Per suggestions from the team (shm and Ncypt3d) after reviewing your data, we've decided to update the script because we don't want to take the chance relying on the honor website specs.
Please refer to the following picture from the app CPU-X in the Play Store:
The top of yours ought to be similar and say MSM 8939 HUAWEI KIW-L21 (where mine says L23).
If there is any doubt, please erase the old find-honor.sh on your phone, get the new copy from the OP, and repeat the process for us.
Many thanks!

ok lets see

I'm on the US version but still appreciate that you're working on our international brothers and sisters 5xs. So I must say....this sounds "very promising "! Sorry I couldn't help it.

From what i can tell from the info provided the L24 twrp recovery should work on L21.
Here is the official L24 twrp:
https://dl.twrp.me/kiwi/twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img.html
Stock L21 recovery encase it does not work:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330025737
If there is a error please put as much info as you can get and pictures if possible. Also attach a recovery.log so we can double check everything is working.

ok i will try to flash the recovery after work. first i have to unlock my bootloader :angel:

The installation works fine and it also starts the twrp but you cant use it properly because you get the touchscreen error, which was already described in the US Thread. I dont know where the recovery.log is so I cant post it here. I somehow managed to install root but I would consider this unusable.
Edit:
Found the log, it is in the attachments.

Can confirm. Installing TWRP was fine, but it can't be used (touchscreen does not recognize input)

You mentioned that you were able to use the debloat method on your KIW-L21.
Did something change on the touchscreen usability or can you elaborate for the benefit of us and others?

Someone in the main thread posted that you have to tap the screen extremely fast and that the issue is most likely a bug in the TWRP software (not waiting long enough for user input or something). It worked this way but is extremely luck based. Like I had to try and flash the zip file 10 times before I was able to slide the slider while not having the archive validation checkbox checked.
Selecting the "install" button and the archive itself also took a few minutes. Basically you'll have to hammer your screen at 5 touches per second or something for it recognize

Same with me it took me about an hour to get it working.

We've been discussing the touchscreen among ourselves and your feedback may help - thanks!

Do you still need ppl to run the script for the L21?
