Hi everybody!
I just looove my Xperia. I love every detail of its software. The startup screen is wonderful, but I was wondering if I could add some sound to it?!?
Anybody 'got any idea how to do this?
Yea just make a custom rom
lol never been easier )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
otherwise u might play with rom files and configuration, and if you are lucky then u can not only set custom music but u can load any pic youd like
if you get it done, let us know
I thought about working on a custom sound, but the x10 does not use the standard 1.6 boot loading for the images and not quite the bootloader.zip that 2xx plus use so its kind of off. I might look into when i have more time.

You don't need a custom ROM to change your bootscreen.

Mine's already rooted and debranded. i was looking for the directory of the boot things. They're in a completely different directory and there is no sound file there. Even a blank one. I tried to put one there and rename it prerly, but nothing happened. It looks like the phone itself is set to not recognize sound files when booting up.
hi
as the Title says... don't do it...
i've done it... now black Screen...
But no change to edit it back with droidexplorer or adb shell...
file is emtpy...
i'm running with Froyostone V1 maybe someone can send me the build.prop file of this build...
i don't want to restart from scratch...
thx

The quickest way would be to load up another clean version changing the original to froyo boot it up & go to astro copy the build from system to SD or to the froyo version & restart then delete new version and paste the build into the original froyo & reboot
so i got my froyostone back to working
have pulled the build.prop from my shubcraft build... and pushed it to the froyostone build!!
hopefully the trick will work without that problem on my hopefully soon arriving android tablet
Next time, try backing up the android folder on ur SD card before changing anything.. that way a quick format and a trip to ur computer will get ur phone working again..

Can you share this file here? i got the same problem that many applications can't work with full screen, and i didn't backup this file...
thx~
Sorry for my Englisch.
Problems with the screen in fullscreen games.It is easy to change it.
Open the file with a text editor Build.Prop and edit the line of "ro.sf.lcd_density = 220" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
Followed the instructions and did this mod.
I sorta of like it. Didn't encounter any problems at all. It's hard to tell the difference. Some apps will support it, Sense UI does not.
The bigger question is. Does this impact battery life. I am still testing this..so right now that's debatable.
I set dpi to 192 and love it. Most apps show more info on screen, a few games are not clever enough.
After using WinMo for 2 years, I'm used to high precision "touching" :-D
A tip: download Spare Parts and use it to turn off compatibility mode.
i just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765639

Not exactly.
The app works but doesn't really make any difference to build.prop file nor does reboot the device.
Your can manually make the changes.
I set it to 200 and I use adw launcher to make usage of the extra space.
Black screen from changing build.prop
So i really wish I found this thread before i tried to change anything. So i also have the black screen when loading android after changing build.prop file, I did copy the file before I changed it. Now i just dont know how to get into the system folder to change it back because when i load android its all black. Can anybody help me here?
im using mdj 2.3 clean and S6 kernel.
ive done 2 things and android dont go past black screen and HTC logo.
first i put the new build.prop to fix the green camera, while in windows mobile, inside SD/ANDROID/ROOT/SYSTEM/build.prop
i didnt boot android yet, i created a folder inside SD/ANDROID/ROOT/SYSTEM
called FRAMEWORK and i put framework.jar for RTL inside:
SD/ANDROID/ROOT/SYSTEM/FRAMEWORK/framework.jar
now i tryed to boot android and no success.
what i did is remove all changes but still android wont boot.
what might be the problem/solution?
im trying to save my build here cus i did alot of changes and i have no backup.
i think its the build.prop that wasnt compatible, what can i do to fix it?

I had something similar happened to me as well...no changes yet it won't boot all the way anymore. Stuck on green HTC screen. I suspect file corruptions so I redownload the clean build, move my data.img to it, fix! You can give that a go. Good luck.

im doing it right now
EDIT: im trying replacing the rootfs only maybe this will solve it.
EDIT: replacing rootfs with original solved the problem
Some PPL on the development forums were asking how to boot $auron's UrukDroid out of bubu's openAOS Boot Menu. Since i can't post there yet, i'll post here.
I looked at bubu's initramfs/init script and it should be fairly easy to boot any partition as well as any rootfs.img.
the menu.lst syntax is:
Code:
{NAME(has to be unique)}|{DEVICE(leave blank for img)}|{IMG}|{INIT}
A special thing is putting 'ARCHOS' into {DEVICE}, because that will boot from ARCHOS' stock SQUASHFS file
so adding this line to menu.txt should let you boot UrukDroid from sdcard
Code:
UrukDoid|/dev/mmcblk2p2||/sbin/init
I have to add, i havn't tried it myself yet, because i haven't put bubu's loader on my A70IT yet.
I would really appreciate you letting me know if it works!
Greetings Oro

First:
Thanks for your work
Would this also work, with on internal installed urukdroid?
You would have to get the device name of your root partition
since mine is a sdcard install i can only provide that information.
but if you can boot into uruk right now you can do the following to get the device node:
Open any terminal emulator and type:
Code:
cat /etc/mtab
then search for
Code:
<device> / <fstype> rw,noatime,barrier=1,nodealloc,....
in my case that is:
Code:
/dev/mmcblk2p2 / ext4 ....
take the first one (<device>) and put it into the menu.lst line:
Code:
UrukDroid|<device>||/sbin/init
still i haven't tested any of this. it's just the result of my looking at the bootloader's init script

I cant i installed the openaos boot menu, so urukdroid is gone...
I really want to have uruk again, i hate the stock firmware
I know these steps, but is there no way to compile a *.img from uruk?...
i compiled one but these dont worked...
first of all IMO putting Uruk into an image file would be stupid,
second you'd have to either find a way to run the installer on your computer, or ask $auron what exactly it does and put a working rootfs togehter manually or dump an existing thing
your best bet would be to boot openAOS and dd Uruk's Root Partition into some img file. But since you don't know which yout Uruk Root is and i don't either, only thing left would be to ask $auron where he installs it. and if you know that, you can use my method just as well

Okey, i`ll do
Then i have to install urukdroid and after that install the openaos boot menu?
Nope
if you've got the device node of yout Uruk root you should be able to put it into that menu.lst lint i showed you where <device> is.
Just to mention it, I don't know if $auron provides a working live-initramfs, but if he does you should be able to simply flash that through the sde recovery menu.
by live-initramfs i mean one, that doesn't launch EasyInstall but run UrukDroid directly.

i aksed sauron per pm
Hmm.. how do i explain.
It's like this:
the device node is like a link to the partition.
If you put Uruk on a Partition, you have to tell the bootloader which partition is the right one, the one with Uruk on it.
The bootloader then searches for an init-file there and executes it
so bubu's menu is the bootloader in this case, so you tell him where he has to search for Uruk by putting the right device node into the menu.lst.
hope you understand it a little better now

Yes, so first i have to install Urukdroid, because if i dont, bootloader doesnt find anything or not?

Yep, thanks
I´m still a bit new in booting
Nope, because you installed it already.
You said you had an existing installation on your internal memory, didn`t you?
You just have to find out where it is. And tell that information to the bootloader.

I had have a Urukdroid installation, before i installed the boot menu i completly wiped my archos for a completly frsh install
Okay then youre right. If there's nothing he obviousli cant execute anything.
So if yuo installed it again, would you be kind enough and report back the device node?

another question: any idea how to get the menu booting instead of normal archos android?
(Sde instead of archos, like sauron did at urukdroid)
What exactly do you mean?
Like switching between custom and stock?
That'd be for hold voldown while the archos bootscreen shows up and selecting SDE or Android.
And the SDE entry will launch whatever you put there through the SDE recovery Menu
Greetings
TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
No, he mean booting on it not by going in the recovery menu, just on pushing the "ON" button.

Yep, this will be helpful, when i have urukdroid on my boot menu, because then my normal use will be uruk, until cyanogen is ready for saily use..
Any hints on that?
I don't really know, but doesn't it remember your last choice?

Hi,
I'm bored of the loading animation, I would like to see the shell output what the OS is loading and what it's doing and to delete the CM9 loading animation.
Is that possible?
Best Regards!

P.D: I sorry mi english is bad

What will happen If I remove the bootanimation.zip from the media folder, will rom work as It should? And If not where can I find some small bootanimation (small size)?
