Hi Guys!
Now that finally the devs arrived with some amazing ROMs, I change these ROMs a lot every day. But I experienced some problems because I often do that at work where I don't have adb shell available. So I created an xRecovery zip-file to install Android Terminal Emulator before booting into the ROM the first time.
That gave me the idea to offer you some zip-files with useful (free) applications you perhaps want to have pre-installed on any ROM before booting it.
I also attached two blank zip-files where you can easily add your own apps, perhaps a preferred keyboard in your language or whatever you want to push onto your phone via xRecovery.
If somebody's interested we could turn this into some kind of collection for universally usable xRecovery files.
How to use the blank zip-files:
To use this method, you need to have the app available as an apk-file, of course.
If you have the app already installed on the ROM you're looking to replace, you can just use a root file manager like Root Explorer to copy and paste the apk file from \data\app\ to your SD card.
If you cannot get the apk file, you can request it here or send me a PM and I'll try to prepare the zip-file for you. Don't ask me to do this with paid apps! This whole method is meant to be used with free apps and I will not add or support warez in any form!
Okay, now let's start. As you can see, I attached two blank zip-files: blank_data-app.zip and blank_system-app.zip. Why two of them?
There are basically two locations where you'll want to install your own apk's:
\data\app\ --> contains all non-system-relevant user apps and should be your choice in most cases. If you install here, you can easily uninstall the apps later if you don't need them anymore.
\system\app\ --> contains system-relevant and pre-installed apps such as vending.apk / phonebook.apk / Email.apk / Gmail.apk / Calender.apk / etc.
Only install here if you want to replace one of these apps with a themed one or if you want to force-update market for example! It's not possible to uninstall anything you installed here the usual way! You'll have to use Titanium Backup or another third-party app.
Only overwrite existing apps in this folder if you know what you're doing!
So, just choose where you want to install your app, open (NOT extract!) the corresponding file with a zip-file manager of your choice (I'd recommend 7Zip or WinRAR) and drag the apk-file you want to install into data\app\ (for blank_data-app.zip) or system\app\ (for blank_system-app.zip. pretty obvious, huh? ). Confirm to copy the file there and close the zip file.
That's it. Now you just have to give your zip-file an appropriate name and push it onto your SD card to install it via xRecovery-->install custom zip-->choose custom zip from sdcard.
__________________________________________________
Some comments on the zip-files attached:
- Android_Terminal_Emulator.zip:
This is useful if you installed a new ROM and experience problems like flashing homescreen or no GSM/data connection. In that case, open ATE and type the following:
su (confirm SuperUser rights)
busybox killall servicemanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart the phone and hopefully solve your problems. (I know this mini guide seems not to fit here, but perhaps someone reads it before spamming the dev thread with questions that were answered a thousand times )
- JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip:
all KUDOS go to zdzihu. Make sure you visit his thread to always get the latest version of JIT Enabler.
Note that you only need this file on 2.1 ROMs where JIT Enabler isn't pre-enabled! On 2.2+ ROMs JIT is always included.
- New Market V2.2.11.zip:
Make sure to sign into your google account and open market once (accept licence agreement) before you update to the new market. Many people experience problems if they don't do this!
- TitaniumBackup-3.6.7.1.zip:
You can also create this file yourself. If you open TB and tap on Settings-->more... there's an option to create an update.zip
- XDA_app.zip:
Useful for any kind of problems of course
__________________________________________________
So, not much of a collection at the moment, but perhaps there's interest for something like that. If you know something that will come handy to have it preinstalled, just tell me!

i like that point of view! well i only found one for creating a whole update. zip for a rom with android kitchen I can explain some of the basics inside this zip file this evening after work. a zip just for installing apps is created quite easily. it gets more complicated if you have to set permissions and things like that.

good idea!
thanks
Great! thanks a lot for this useful guide, I will use it.
Just one question in the same line like mezo, If I already have a rom zip file and I want to add to this rom the apps, would it be possible? and Could you explain us? or its just copy the files inside the \data\app\ folder?
Thanks again for your help.
Great idea, thanks!

As long as the apps aren't system-relevan, it's as easy as that, yes
For all of you willing to learn more: I'm quite a noob, too, but I'll try to make a tutorial on how to create recovery zip-files as soon as I can.
Won't be today though, because I'll go out to party into my birthday this evening
So long,

You can use the Android Kitchen to create custom zip files, I use the Cygwin method as it makes file management a little easier imo.
Great idea man, a lot of thanks!
1 zip - several apps
Is it possible to create one zip to install several apk's?
Maybe I have a few "stock" apps, the ones that I always need, and want to install all in a single step.
Can this be done or I have to install one by one even using xRecovery?
Thanks!
Great tuto and thank you for sharing

Hello all. Ihave a problem with xRecovery 0.2 (the last release) when I reboot my phone holding the back button a few moments after the SE Logo appears, it doesn't work. I've installed it with the xRecovery installer and with the FlashTool with BusyBox 1.17 installed. I'm on a X10 2.1 Generic . Thaks

Firstly, the xRecovery depends upon its version of busybox. In the version I use it is 1. 15. 3
So re-install xRecovery(just in case).
Secondly, u don't hv to keep the back key pressed but tap it a few times repeatedly during the screen with "Sony Ericsson" logo.
Hope this helps.

sorry, backup and restore only works with stock se rom and mods based on it (like kx10 or blue sparks,...). it's impossible to install on any 2.2/2. 3 or 2.1 AOSP rom.

hey im having a problem.
I know that you will say "this belong to another thread" but since this way i can trick the thing and install again the system apps like the Package administrator etc, i need to know what to do in mi case with this method:
mi BETA3 was working smooth!
iv been using the BETA3 a long time but some days ago, suddently i couldn't install apps anymore (thouse that are in mi SD or frome the market...not even Applanet...nothing)
The screen shows the "barber shop black and white" bar rolling and rolling and never stop.
Mi USB detection is not working, that means that mi PC is recognazing the phone (it sound like a UYSB is been conected) but never apear the folder of the SD. nto even options of debugging usb etc in the notification bar of the device.
and when i get in Settings> runing aplications, all aplication are in "calculating..." mode. so they say 00 mb. and never stop triying to get the numbers. its so odd.
the other aplication (that came installed with the BETA) works fine.
I have tryed, erasing the firmwares and isntalling them from the beginning and everything worked fine with old firms like 2.0 and 2.1 update1. too!
then i do the root (first z4root, then busybox, then xRecovery) and make xrecovery work. install the beta 3, and again i can't do anything.
i triyed installing the BETA4 but never stop rebooting so i just yield and stick with BETA3.
any idea..plzzz!!! i really don't whon't to use Eclair...it's just so ugly!!
it's not working on mi xRecovery. i put the apps insinde app folder of thwe .zip and put it in a random folder of mi SD, then do >the Recovery > install custom.zip>Choose from SD card>confirm install the selected "blank_data-app.zip".
and it say:
Finding update package.....
opening update package.....
E i asume E means Error!) can't open blablabla/blblabla folder/blank_data-app.zip (bad)
installation Abnorted.
i asume iv done something wrong...!?!?
PS: BTW can somebody sen me the original .apk of FROYO bwecasue i can't find them , to use the system-apps.zip
thanxxx!!!
Hello,
I decided to write this because I had a hell of a time finding out how to do this - all the information is here on the forums but not all in one place so you can just read and install the custom ROM.
The ROM that is available that I have successfully tested is CM7_RC1_X8_004
You will need the following programs:
SuperOneClick - to root your phone
Busybox - from the android Market
Xrecovery
Super Manager - from the Market
X10 Flashtool
and your ROM
Rooting
~~~~~
So First we want to root the phone, we will need to set the USB debugging mode to on. Go into settings - applications - Development and click on the tick next to USB debugging to turn it on. Plug the Phone into the PC via the USB Cable.
At the end of this post are files download SuperOneclick and extract it into a folder on your desktop then run the exe file called SuperOneClick.exe and click on root, it will scroll through a load of things then come up with a message that says "Root files have been installed would you like to run a test?" To which I always say Yes then it says "A su command will now be sent to your phone please hit allow in superuser" (there were no messages on my phone so I just hit OK on that message) Then a message comes up asking you to donate, so if that utility is handy for you feel free to donate to the makers of SuperOneclick!
You can now turn off USB debugging.
Installing BusyBox
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to settings - sound and display and set the screen timeout to 30 mins I have found it to keep locking while installing Busybox as it takes a while to do.
Go to the market and search for Busybox and install and accept permissions on it. once this part of the application has installed you need to run it as it has only been copied to the phone - now you have to actually install it.
So run the busybox app and say OK to the message from the developer (reading it first of course) then it will ask you for permission which you say yes.
Next we see a screen saying Status: Working, Your phone is Rooted, amount of free space in system is 10128kb, Busybox not found. (we haven't installed it yet.)
The first time I did this it took ages to get anywhere and ages to install so just be patient and wait for it. Choose Busybox 1.17.1 but change the location of the install to system/xbin (the drop down box at the bottom of the page.) Then Click Install. For me this time it failed so lets try v 1.18 and the default location. back up and then relaunch busybox installer.
I found I had to change the settings a couple times when I installed before to get it to install, you might not find that. Sure enough this time it installed fine using v1.18 and the default save location.
installing Super Manager and Xrecovery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First you need to download the new ROM files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973753
Go to the third post and download the rom: (currently
http://hotfile.com/dl/109568508/3381b40/CM7_RC1_X8_004.rar.html)
Once it's down extract the files to another folder in your desktop and you should have the files LiveWallpapers.zip, Update.zip, changelog.txt and a BASEBAND folder.
Then connect your phone and copy the three files and the folder to a new directory on your SDcard. (I called mine ROM) Now remove the cable from the PC not forgetting to unmount it first.
Then you need to download Super Manager from the market and install it then run it - choose File explorer - click on the favourite icon at the bottom(the picture of a folder and a heart) and choose SD card, navigate to your folder where you stored the files and click on all the ticks next to the files and folder and then when they are all selected click on any file and hold it till a menu appears and choose copy (This is to copy the files)
Then Click on the favourites one again and choose root path. Then go to System and then Bin and then click on one file and hold the button till the menu appears and scroll to the bottom where you see paste and click on it and this will paste the files into this folder.
X10 Flash tool
~~~~~~~~~~
Next we need to use the X10 Flastool so download it from
http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
(The thread I got this from is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746).
Once downloaded you need to extract the files and run X10FlashTool.exe.
Then before you plug the phone back in you need to put it into USB debugging mode again. Go into settings - applications - Development and click on the tick next to USB debugging to turn it on. Plug the phone back into the PC.
In the X10Flashtool click on the button that says ask root perms and press allow on the phone when it comes up and in the FlashTool it will say "INFO - Root Access Allowed."
Then Click Optimize and it will then reboot your phone, let the phone come back up and then in x10 Flasher click ask root perms and it should say Allowed again after a short time.
Then click on xRecovery. Power the phone off and wait for 20 seconds and then power it back on. As soon as you see the words "Sony Ericsson" appear on the screen start hammering the back button. Then the phone will boot into xRecovery.
Backup your phone
Use the sound volume up and down buttons to move up and down the menus and the home button to select the option (I think the back button is back as well). Choose the backup/restore option, then backup to backup your phone to the SD card (First the system and then the data)
Then when it's finished it will say complete and you can go ahead and put the new rom on the phone. Choose install Custom Zip, then choose custom zip from SDcard. Navigate to the directory you put your ROM in and choose update.zip it will ask you if you are sure so choose yes and it will update your phone.
Once it says Install from SDcard complete hit backup then choose the top option reboot phone.
Your Phone will then reboot into Android 2.3
Good job on this
Restoring your Phone to It's previous working state
To restore you phone back to how it was before you started all this all you need to do is Boot xRecovery by hammering the back button once you see the very first Sony Ericsson which takes you into xRecovery.
Then use the volume up and down on the side of the phone and choose backup and restore and you can choose advanced restore to restore a different component or just do a restore to do the whole phone back as it was.
I have just restored back successfully!
is there a big risk that i will damage my phone in case i will do everything in #1post step by step with instruction?
I don't really think so, but there is always the possibility when flashing your phone that you might Brick it.
I didn't break mine and I will do this to test every new firmware that comes out and because I've done it once most of the hard work is done which was installing xRecovery.
In short I offer you no guarantee this won't brick your phone what you do is at your own risk, but I had no trouble.
Yeah i know this that im doing it on my own risk, im only asking of probability of breaking phone cus i want root and install custom rom but i have a little bad luck
OK,
I don't know about failures - I haven't seen anyone complaining about destroying their phone and it didn't happen to me, that's all I know sorry.
super manager isn't copying and pasting files. i follow the guide and when i click paste, nothing happens.
edit: it just says "prepare to copy" when i try to copy the files, then nothing when i paste

In supermanager open the folder system and then select the folder Bin, you have to change the folder from read to read and write first before u can copy anything.
thanks, realized i hadn't given super manager super user permission. what do i do differently when installing Rachts Roms because they don't come with an update.zip?

When u have Xrecovery and make an backup it will create a folder in SD card "backup" after u download the Rom from racth u put the folder on the backup folder, then in XRecovery u go to backup then restore, u will see the rom there, just press ok and it will do the rest like the zip file.
to the OP thanks a Lot i appreciate this Guide!
and on the same vein as the others i am having some problems pasting the contents of the ROM. i have given Super manager root prves. but it says not enough free desc space which seems right to me cus there is only 128Mb storage on the phone.
i feel like i am missing sumthing basic please assist me, Thanks!

Just need to be well prepared!!!!
Based on my experience.. I didn't really know what I've done that make my phone cannot boot... it's all because not really prepared... Need to do some research and reading 1st..
Luckily, when done some reading, I manage to boot the phone after flashing with SEUS..
And after that... I prepare to do checklist... Now.. Everything seems OK...

With your phone did you get a 2GB SD card? I did with mine and that's where you need to copy the ROM files to(you need to copy the files in windows to the SD card). The only thing I was copying with super manager was the xRecovery files. (and I'm not sure I needed to do that since you kinda install xrecovery on the flash tool, I just posted exactly what I did)
mss_2212, yeah using the SE repair might get you out of a few scrapes, it's good that they offer such a utility to completely flash your phone back to the latest SE update!
Well, V6.0a is now out I am downloading that as we speak.
^^ how is it running? i see BlueTooth not working.
i realize my error you were talking about copying the files for Xrecovery i thought you were referring to the ROM files.
Thanks for the help! I hope I success for the install of the last custom rom from CM 2.3! If it's good, it will be translate for the french forums! ;-)
I'm still setting it up to how I like it but so far so good - it's nie and stable for me and WI-FI works which is a dream.
Don't forget to make a backup first of your old ROM though!
Thanks
Hi!
I tried to install the last 2.3.3 CM7 with this guide, but I get a problem with the X10 flashtool... In fact, I don't understand if I have to lauch the .exe in my phone, or in the PC. Because with the phone I can "ask root perms" but I get an error (it says me to use usb debug the phone and install...) but I think that I've followed the guide And since the PC, there is no file in the "firmware" fold...
So I install the custom ROM, without that step, and it success, even if I get another problem, but I think, because of the instability of the rom (no market, and no possibility to dl by internet)
Thanks for the help!
Hello,
Not quite sure what you're getting at, I will try to help if I can (I'm still a bit of a noob really myself)
You need to run the x10 flash tool on the PC with your phone connected in usb debugging mode before it will work.
"Then before you plug the phone back in you need to put it into USB debugging mode again. Go into settings - applications - Development and click on the tick next to USB debugging to turn it on. Plug the phone back into the PC."
The Market and other applications are included in the latest version(.6a as of this writing) in a zip file called gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip to install them you need to boot into xRecovery and choose install custom zip and then point it to that file which is next to the install.zip. Then the market will work.
v.6a is really nice but ultimately I had to revert because I needed to take some pics but a lot of stuff is working well!
As the title suggests, this is a thread for all the HyperDroid ROM discussion or questions.
The idea of this thread is to keep away all questions from development thread, which do not belong to.
This way Team HyperDroid can get to work without having to answer the all so annoying questions that get asked over, and over, and over again.
Please do only post at development thread, if you have considered the following words from Pongster:
If you're having trouble with anything, the only way we can find out what's causing your Issues is If we have complete information.
The logcat/wakelocks/dmesg will do just that...
Simply reporting something doesn't work, will not help... we all have different devices, different setups, different device manufacturing dates, etc...
If everything is set to default, everything works on our devices.

Hyperdroid user question in this thread!!!
We need to encourage all users of Hyperdroid, who are NOT contributing debugging information to the development or testing team to use this thread to discuss their issues and experiences (positive, negative, or otherwise), and most importantly, post their functional questions here.
Posting to the development thread questions that are not development related or that relate to development related enhancements is placing an unnecessary burden on the Team.
Let's try to support each other and keep the bandwidth low on the development thread. Let's help the development and testing Team by keeping user related discussions alive and vital here...
[UPDATE] Hyperdroid FAQ
Hi Hyperdroid fan user,
We are compiling Q&A post on the Rom in this thread. Its purpose is to trace the Q&A that for now are recurrent in the dev's thread and hopefully later, in this one ?
For those experiencing problems with sound or silent alarm or "no beep beep" when calling with 6.0.8 , DOC have published a fix, here's the post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=463
Fix is included in later versions
Questions often asked on the thread
Q: Why is base rom always full wipe?
A:Only when base is full wipe, it is (almost) sure, that users do not complain about issues, which are introduced by themselves. If you are an experienced user, you are able to change the updater-script on your own risk. But then you can propably handle it. This user effort of full wipe is little compared to the questions, which dev's are faced with a no-wipe.
Q : Is the ROM "RTL friendly" ? does it support RTL ?
A : Yes the ROM does support RTL. You can activate the RTL patch within the Hyperdroid Part application. Open Hyperdroid parts, go to Androidmeda tweaks > Personalization > Right to Left Patch confirm you want to apply the patch and voilà !
Q : What's the difference between Redpill v5 and v6 ?
A : To make it short : V5 base is XXKL1 and includes JKay, V6 base is XIKL2 and doesn't include JKAY mod. Detailed change log between V5 and V6 can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21767096&postcount=2
Q : Why v6 doesn't includes JKAY ?
A : Because JKay only develop with version he got (mostly XW and XX), if a XI version appears, then it may be integrated later ... or not
Q : Does vert's ics theme work?
A : Latest version is now hyperdroid compatible. Thank the man for taking time to do it.
Q : Where can I find Themes
A : DOC's Surgeon and themes can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21778696&postcount=96
Other themes / surgeons will become available via the OTA tool, please be patient as it take some time for the Devs to upload all that to the servers
Q : After I installed xxx's surgeon, apps won't install on market, it says app incompatible with device
A : If you or the surgeon (most do it) have changed your DPI you will have to set it back to 240 or 160, clear market cache, and reboot. You can do it all from HyperDroidParts
After reboot, restart market, install your applications, change DPI back to what you like, reboot again and voilà. Blame the sloppy application's developer for not supporting multi dpi
Note : in some cases, it seems that the reboot is not enough. If it happens for you, try restarting the phone instead
Q:I've a bug with the rom, should I post to the dev's thread ?
A :If you want the dev's to be able to help you, give them a logcat from just after/before the issue happen.
if you're not easy with how to get one, there are a few apps on the market you can download which will do the trick.
Post it in the dev thread along with the complete description of your issue and detailed steps you made to get the issue.
As a general remark, and because sadly things have to be repeated continuously :
Before posting, you should try to reproduce it with only the base installed.
if you can't, then it is an app or theme issue don't post it in the dev's thread. Ask here for help of other users if they can, they will.
if you can, then post all the info in the dev's thread
BTW, don't bother to post in the dev's thread if:
you use another kernel
you haven't tried to reproduce it on a full wiped base
A usefull link with details on how to fill bug reports from pongster itself : How to submit Useful Bug Reports
Q :I want to have my apps flashed with the rom as described in the changelog, how can I do this ?
A :Note that this is an advanced feature. if you modify the rom this way and get any problem, flash a base first before posting any "bug" Here is a short how to :
1- extract the archive on your HD say into a new directory called "hyperdroid". Just under that directory, you will see a folder named [data]
2- add a new subdirectory to data called 'app'
3- put in it the application you want to be installed as user applications. Be carrefull though, user app apk got renamed when put in this directory, i.e. Titanium apk has to be called "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro-1.apk"
4- rebuild your archive
5- copy on your phone and flash through recovery
if you got all the files needed by your application, then you should see it installed in the app drawner and working.

You must check if your favorite application is using dependancies (library or anything else). Put these library under [System/Lib] (if the lib subdirectory does not exist create it)
You can do the same for system applications (launchers or paid app keys need that sometime).

missing feature in v5 & v6
Hi,
I have try to add my apps into /data/app inside the zip before flashing it but unfortunately I didn't found a folder named "app" in /data in both zip files (HyperDroid_Androidmeda_v6.0.0_signed.zip or Hyperdroid_Androidmeda_v5_XWKL1_signed.zip).
Is it the wrong way to do this?
Hi,
Can you add the sure fire way to use non fully compatible market dpi to work properly in first topic! I know 160dpi is too small for some, i found 192 to be perfect and i saw someone mention it but i forgot the procedure, it was like clear market, set it to 160, accept market, change to whatever dpi, then change something (forgot) then use market...
Anyone know what I mean, im sure this would help a lot of people as a first post guide
#Randomfact using Rixsta's ics keyboard mod(theme in Verts thread) works perfectly with petsasj's modded keyboard found in his and doc's surgeon

short answer : yes you're doing it the wrong way
long version :
Although you can do it, if you modify the ROM, nobody won't be able to reproduce any issue that you might have created by adding your apps. Instead, you better goes the surgeon way.
Create a surgeon that will install your apps (you can even add the data related to them if you want). You will then flash the surgeon after you flash the ROM.
For more information on surgeon read this !

Yeah, I'll update the Q&A section with that one.
Thank you
For those who want to wake the S2 with the Homebutton, just edit the sec_key.kl at system/user/keylayout
It worked for me.

missing feature in v5 & v6
I would like to install titanium backup by using the new feature discribe in v5 & v6
I'm refer to what D.O.C put in thread #2 of "[ROM]-HyperDroid Androidmeda v5 & v6 RedPill Kernel inside-(24/01/2012)":

updated time zones to version n
Fujutweaks 4.0
Tweaked sqlite libs

Deodexed
Zipaligned
AND rezipaligned on every boot for system/app, data/app, framework/app (Just to be sure for all your other apps)
Pre-Rooted for your convenience
here -> /data/app folder inside zip for auto installing preferred apks on boot (Simply copy apk's there and it installs... easy peasy)
Enable of BLN for stock Samsung SMS application (montymintypie/no.one.writeme)
appwidgetpicker for widget display ala cm7 (boombuler)

Removed vibrate icon (OP)
Build.prop tweaks (OP)
Stock themed
Market 3.4.4
Calendar now supports mdpi
Incall dialer now supports mdpi
Music supports mdpi
FM application supports mdpi
At boot removed welcome screen due to incompatibility with newest google maps.
OK, I've had a look at the ROM files. heres a short how to :
1- extract the archive on your HD say into a new directory called "hyperdroid". Just under that directory, you will see a folder named [data]
2- add a new subdirectory to data called 'app'
3- put in it the application you want to be installed as user applications. Be carrefull though, user app apk got renamed when put in this directory, i.e. Titanium apk has to be called "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro-1.apk"
4- rebuild your archive
5- copy on your phone and flash through recovery
if you got all the files needed by your application, then you should see it installed in the app drawner and working.
Advice
You must check if your favorite application is using dependancies (library or anything else). Titanium needs a file called libtitanium.so
Put these library under [System/Lib] (if the lib subdirectory does not exist create it)
You can do the same for system applications (launchers or paid app keys need that sometime).

Thank's for the great job, i will give feedback when i'll make the install! for now i'm testing the yakkasrom hopping the battery life will be better with the hyperdroid V6..! again big thank's!
After installing v6 and DOCs Surgeon i reverted back to v5, but the DOC Bootscreen (a static one) is still there for a couple of seconds after that the androidmeda.gif is shown.
How can i remove this image?!
EDIT: It´s the image which is stored in the boologo folder in the surgeon. but how can i remove this image?

Change the image with the one you want (find the stock one if that's what you want) place it in the bootlogo folder and flash again and it'll change.

Thanks for your answer.
But now i am back on version5 so i cannot flash surgeon v6.
In the normal Hyperdroid v5.zip there is no such folder, where i can place another image.
BTW: I like the Androidmeda Image.

I'm not at home so can't look at the zips but I'm pretty sure the standard VRTheme template has the bootlogo folder in the root of the zip so I'm sure you can add a bootlogo folder and then put the image you like in there. If you don't want to try it I'll have a look when I get home tonight. You can look where that folder is in the surgeon and use exactly the same path as that as a surgeon is just a mini ROM so to speak.
Thanks,
in docs surgeon there is a folder called "bootlogo" at the root of the zip. There is a jpg and another file.
I take a jpg (the last one 126) from the standartbootanimation and vertumus ics theme. There i create a bootlogo folder at the root and put in the jpg and the other file from doc and flash it.
But the bootlogo is still there.
It would be great, if you can make zip for me (no hurry, take the time you need)
1.whats the difference between wiping data, cache, dalvik cache and wiping data, cache, dalvik cache + format system, data, cache. When should i use the second method and when the first?
2. when to use samsung ultimate cleaning script, whats the difference if i just wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash new kernel without cleaning script?

Hi,
2- Never used the ultimate cleaning script so can't tell if there is a diff.
1- Wiping deletes the content of the said directory IIRC where Format will erase the whole partition. If you format your system, you won't be able to boot until you flash a new rom.
So if you want to clean, wiping is enough.
PS. I've just looked the code for the script. in addition to wiping cache and so, it also clean the /system/ect/init_d directory. BTW, in this script, format and wiping call the same command : delete_recursive, so it is basically the same operation done twice
i was reading some where and they say that XILA2 (v6) (using doc script) should have a new lockscreen......
i dont even have a lock screen on v6 only pass-code pattern
only me ?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has made a swipe sensitive wallpaper like the one on Xperia z5 for redmi 2? I've been searching the whole Internet and all I can find is the Xperia z2 wallpaper. I'm surprised no one has even made anything close to the Xperia live wallpapers, cos I really like the experience flow or cosmic flow wallpapers. The only ones I can find are wallpapers that sparkle on touch but they don't move when swiped(by "move when swiped" I don't mean scrolling wallpapers). I hope someone will bring the z5 wallpaper to other phones soon
Si
@Newbdroidd So, first things first - Wallpapers dont need to be custom made for all devices. If you can fool the original apk into believing it's installed exactly 'where it should be', then it should be no problem getting it to work normally.
Now, the drill
Q1. Are you rooted, buddy?
If yes, Q2. Are you on Stock MIUI ROM, CM or which one?
If AOSP-based (CM/Bliss/AICP etc.), proceed further and follow these steps --
(You can try them on MIUI as well, I'm not sure if they'll work or corrupt your MIUI installation (So make sure to make a Recovery backup if doing this on stock ROM.) )
now the steps --
00. Download the file: http://d-h.st/zUJR
0. Inside you'll find the apk.
1. Try installing normally, then reboot. If it works, great,, and if doesn't proceed as below -
2. Install 'Root Explorer' from play store. Open it, grant root permission when asked, and then go to the folder '/system/priv-app/' .... create a folder named 'Experience Flow 2 Live Wallpaper' ... long press the folder, and set permissions as 'rwxr-xr-x' (0755).
3. Inside, copy paste that apk file from the link, rename it to 'Experience Flow 2 Live Wallpaper.apk' (as inside quotes, no changes) ... set permission to 'rw-r--r--' (0644) and reboot.
4. Try setting it as Live Wallpaper now. It should work.
5. DO make sure to revert here if it worked or not!
All the best!

Hi thanks for replying... I'm rooted and i'm using Temasek CM13 on my redmi 2. First i tried installing the apk normally but it says problem parsing the package. Then I followed all the steps you listed except that i used root browser instead of root explorer cos root explorer isn't free. Rebooted but it doesn't show up on the list of live wallpapers
OH waiit i forgot to rename the apk.. Trying again now hopefully it works
Renamed it but it still doesn't work D:
Shocking

Well... I've used both Kumajaya CM13 and am currently on Blisspop ROM CM13. I've used this method successfully on both these ROMs. I'm currently having it set as my wallpaper as well.
P.S: But I suppose the source of the file I've used in my case is different from this.
Okay, just wait till morning, I might be able to upload that file here if the internet speed favors me.
Then you just have to repeat the procedure with the new apk.
Please make sure to restore from the backup you created, or fully remove and uninstall the apk used earlier for this method to work.
@shanx_verma
Here's a vid of my phones folders just in case i did something wrong. How do u like the blisspop rom? I like res remix the best but it had a few bugs so i switch to my current one
