Vibrate? [Solved] - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated from slim 6 to 8 and lost vibrate as an option in my phone com pletely. using hardware keys it goes from ring to silent straight and I cant find a setting to do with vibration in the whole phone. WHere did it go?
Solution: flash new kernel and/or big mem patch.

When I installed slim I had the same expierence. I think unjust stopped building on it and is all pac now

Use a root file explorer and go to /system/lib/modules to see if vibrator.ko is in that folder. If it is there, make more room in /system and reboot

I deleted prettty much all the media files found. And my system apps are already at a minimum. Still no viberation tho. This is the weirdest thing I've ever encountered.

Even after a reboot? If it's not working after that, all I can think of is fix permissions in recovery or try a different kernel.

Try getting root explorer from the market. Then you can get to it. Once you got that its in system/build.prop and make sure you mount r/w

How to put your own bootanimations on device with rouge kernal

Can anyone help me figure out how to put bootanimation on this device or at last change the sound? I'm using rouge kernal el29 now.... And I have a bootanimation.zip in system/media.... When phone boots it just says Android in silver and then sound goes DUH duh duh DUH duh..... Boring! Help?

If you are on EL29 the bootanimation theard in the themes section of this forum should be enough to get you up and running.

Thanks, the one thing didn't work, downloading ROM toolbox now
*EDIT* room toolbox is awesome! But it didn't fix boot snimations to anything else either
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well I'm fresh out of ideas, I made a thread about changing the bootanimation and got an answer but that works for ICS and I do not know if it works for GB.
VeNuM said:
Here's your fix. If you are using a stock rom but a kernel that supports boot animation (and you are rooted), using rootexplorer or a similiar app go into system/bin. Find samsungani and rename it to samsungani.bak. Now find bootanimation in system/bin and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Thats it. Now all bootanimations correctly placed in the system/media file and named bootanimation will work upon boot...

Have you tried Absolute System Root Tools, I've been using this app for a while (on gb & ics) it comes with a lot of bootanimations and makes changing them easy
As far boot sound look in /system/etc for a file called PowerOn.ogg rename it to .bak and place your desired file there just name it PowerOn and it should work
Hope this helps

SD Card won't read on Epic 4G

I turned my phone off and on and now my SD card isn't being read. My phone says it's mounted and I can go into it with Root Explorer and mess with anything and everything, but when I go into Apollo or Google Play Music, no music is shown, and when I go into gallery, no pictures are shown. How do I fix this?
Check for a .nomedia file on the root of your sd card.

I found it and deleted it, but no luck. Still can't find music files and pictures in Gallery.
Did you reboot after and verify it was gone? Also look in your music and picture directories for that file and remove it. Then reboot.

just wipe cache partition and reboot they should be gone or reinstall if they are missing. That happens to me alot.
Just reboot. Since you removed those bloatwares, after you exit the app you used to remove them with, your app drawer looks like that. Just reboot.
I rebooted in to cwr,flashes super cache wipe and rebooted back into ics,but the problem is still there
Edit: I kinda fixed the problem. I disabled them trough settings--application

That could be your problem. You have to uninstall, not just delete the apk's. Try uninstalling thru titanium, ROM toolbox, or the ROM. See if that makes a diffrence

It will work on stock (odexed), you have to delete the .odex file first tho. (/system/app/SecMms.odex) Then clear the Dalvik Cache so it can rebuild it at start up.
If you leave the .odex file there, then the new classes.dex that's now in his apk won't write to the dalvik cache. Then when you launch said app, it passes by the Dalvik and goes for the .odex that's not modded and crash.
I'll play with this later, but this is a much needed mod. Thanks OP
