Disable boot animation. - Vibrant General

Don't know if you guys know this but I disabled the stupid boot animation and now my phone boots in about 25 seconds.
I get a black screen for about 10 seconds but phone boots a lot faster now.
Edit your build.prop file.

Cool you should post a guide on how to do that. I'd love to try it.

I found it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-923545.html

You just got to delete the file via Root Explorer or a similar root file management app. He's right though. Much faster boot time. I removed the file just for the sake of removing Samsung & T-Mobile's tagging on my phone but it provided some unexpected benefits.

gingerbread sleep animation

can someone that has gingerbread install on their phone while rooted and access to root explore send me the files that control the cool tv shutdown animation. its located in root of the phones os in the sys folder and subfolder power and they are called wake lock and wake unlock. just copy both files then save them on to the sd. i want to try and see if i can make it work on froyo. hopefully i can manage this. its been done as shutdown animation in DJ05 super dark rom. please anyone, it would be greatly appreciated
It's already been tried. Even with the files in place, there's no code that calls for them to be rendered or used.
I had this working at one point. It replaced the Verizon wireless shutdown animation located in /system/media/video (I think). I checked to see if I still have it and it looks like I deleted it. Sorry.

[Q] Taboonay 2.0

Anyone running Taboonay 2.0 and got cell standby off...? How
delete phone.apk and telephony.apk from system/app always works for me. I hear editing the build prop works for some and not for others, same with tabtools app.

Thanks I will give it a try. One warning to other 2.0 user, I added the wifi= thing to the build.prop file and rebooted. Took for ever to come up, lost the splash screen and running 10 times slower and when I touch the app botton at top right to go to applications, the screen goes blank and finaly goes back to desktop. I restored the backup build.prop and rebooted and had the same thing.
The file had correct permission.
Tried other things, but in the end just reflashed.
Thanks for the tip
Update.
deleteing phone.apk locked it up and had to hold power botton in.
deleteing the telphony did not crash anything.
Just renamed both files did not work seems everything in that folder gets run.
The cell.standby icon is still their but its not using the bat.
Maybe erase bat statts..?
Now got to go and see what broke. Im so burnt on roms I could puke, luck Im between jobs and have massive hours to play. Thanks for the help.
using Thor's latest kernel and editing build.prop did the trick for me, with no need to touch phone or telephony.

[How To] (video) Supercharge Ice Cream Sandwich!!!

EDIT: This doesn't work on ODEX ROMs! That would be stock ROMs, as most custom ROMs are deodexed. If it is an odex ROM, you can do the mod, but you have to do it manually (the web app doesn't work). Check out the second post in the supercharger thread for a how-to. But if you are on a custom ROM the method in the video will work!
Alright, so I have been reading about how to supercharge ICS for awhile, but the process looked daunting. However I figured it out, and it works great! This will work on ANY ROM, so try it out!
I have been using this for awhile, and it's just super smooth. I've been using it a lot lately, and it hasn't given me a bit of lag yet! It's just gone!
What is V6?
V6 supercharger is a script that manages the RAM memory. This makes multi-tasking much faster, and it knows when to kill off apps that are taking a lot of RAM. This makes your phone a lot faster and more efficient!
Here is the person who made the script: V6 Supercharger
Here is a dl link to the script: DOWNLOAD LINK
I'm in! So... How Do I Do this?
Well I made a video for you:
Here are instructions:
1. Download the supercharger script from the link above and put it on the root of your SD card.
2. Get an app called script manager from the market. It's free. Open it up and click on the supercharge script from the list of what's on your SD card. Click the SU button, then hit run.
3. Go through the setup. Set scrolling speed to 1. When they ask if you want to integrate it into the system, say yes. You will get to a list of about 30 options after a little bit.
4. Select number 6 (I know I said 7 in the video, but 6 has better multitasking) for this phone, and hit enter. It will go through a whole bunch of stuff.
5. It will ask you to superclean and restart. SAY NO. You'll do that inn a minute. Just hit the home button.
6. Open the browser on your phone and go to : android.mimic.ca and hit the upload button. There will be a popup, select root explorer (Install it if you don't have it already). Go into system/framework/ and select the services.jar file. It will take you back to the website. Hit upload. The page will reload. Now select the CMW flashable zip option and download it. Go to root explorer and move that to the root of your SD card.
7. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, then flash the zip. Reboot. Done! Enjoy the speedieness!

Let me know what ya think!
Alright, so enough questions have been asked that I should start giving answers to them here.
Q. Do I need to re-flash the file in recovery if I want to make changes?
A. Not if you make changes to the the supercharger script (ie. change options). The only time you have to flash it is if you upgrade/change ROMs. Just remember to make a new one, and don't flash the old file!
Q. Isn't option "X" better/faster/easier on battery?
A. Play around with them and see what works for you. I like option 6. Not too aggressive, but it still keeps control. Just use the options that are for your phone (ie 512HP for this phone because it has that much RAM. So option 5, 6, or 7). I also use the nitro-lagnullifier. It makes things even faster!
Q. Does it affect battery life?
A. Yes, in a good way! I get better battery life.
Q. How do I know if it worked??
A. Open up script manager, and go to the supercharger file. let it run, and once you get to the menu with all the options, it will tell you if you are supercharged or not right below that.
Those were the most commonly asked questions. If they don't answer your questions then post 'em!
battery life
so this looks promising but how does it the effect on battery life with ICS.
works great... noticeable difference

This shouldn't hurt the battery. I used to use it on my Epic fairly often especially once the Gingerbread leaks started coming out. There are several different routes to go with the script too. It can also be used to improve multitasking such as when you have multiple apps open at once.

If anything it makes the battery life better. It's really a win-win!
thanks for the quick tut. I was gonna try using it on aokp as well, then i saw ics you had to do something extra and i just stopped looking into it lol - It's much easier than i expected.
Btw rocket, you should try the touch cwm recovery personally I think it's easier to navigate and use

I looked into it awhile ago, and it was even more complicated. The web app made it really easy.
I'll try the touch recovery out. I'll flash it through fastboot in a bit. I'm just used to this one from my EVO.

Sorry I don't. I just use custom ROMs!
just installed along with the KAK
haven't had it for long, but first impression's that there's quite a lot more ram available on boot, and pretty smooth
thanks for your instructions! they were helpful
Thanks for the writeup and video. I tried this on my Evo a while back, but the thread was huge and difficult to navigate.
Just ran the script, so we'll see how it goes.
Awesome. Thanks!

Thank you so much man. The original thread is a mess but you made it easy!
phone went into infinite boot loop.. =[
had stock ics w/ root. tried to do the ics mod. I think odex file but when i tried running the one click script, i think something went wrong when i rebooted
can someone please explain to me why in the instructions it says for me to upload my services.jar file to this guy's website???? That just seems very fishy!!
Why can't we patch the file locally??? Why does your server have to do it for me when an app could easily be written to do it without me uploading my services.jar to some random website I don't trust!

You can patch it manually. Check out the link in the OP. However, it requires unziping the file, opening it in notepad++, editing the code, zipping it back up, putting it back in the phone, and editing some stuff with terminal emulator. It's a bit over most people's heads, and the website makes it easy by making the patched services.jar a flashable zip.
If you want to do it, be my guest. It's all in the second post of the supercharger thread.

I have only used it on custom ROMs. The web app doesn't work for odex ROMs (stock), but it will work on custom ROMs. Try one of them out, it should work then. just titanium backup, flash new ROM, and restore backup. Won't loose your apps!
I can confirm this is working on the cyberg rom...my min ram is 144mb now under performance setting...my phones seems snappier now!

Help needed to remove constant ciphering notification

Hello all
I installed one of the new ROM's based on JB 4.1.2. And I am unable to remove this constant notification from my phone whenever I connect to internet. I search on this forum and internet to get around this issue.
I went through this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167606 and replaced the given apk file. But as the serraxer (who posted) mentioned my screen got stuck at boot screen. May be because I am using different ROM.
He even mentioned to remove by manually decompiling and editing xml file. I searched through internet and found some tool to do that but the boot screen again ran in loop.
I attached frame apk file of my system. If possible can anyone decompile as mentioned and post it here so that I remove the notification permanently

Here is the solution by ZaYAC_ua:
You need to install Safestrap and download a file from 4PDA:

[MOD] Disable Mobile Data On First Boot

What's this?
As the title mentioned above, It disables your mobile data right after flashing a rom through recovery so that your money won't be deducted after boot
Personal Information
For me, I use it because I use a prepaid card and every time the mobile data is enabled after boot. It deducts some amount of money from my prepaid causing me to lose money every time I flash a new rom.
What is modified?
apns_conf.xml which can be found in system/ etc
How to flash?
1. Flash any custom rom that you would like to use through recovery
2. When it's done, go to mounts & storage and mount /system
3. Flash MobileDataOff.zip from attachments below
3. Reboot system and enjoy a safer way to flash roms
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below and make sure to hit thanka if this works for you. :good:
And your really think only the empty file is the solution?
<apns version="6">
</apns>
Just look into this thread. In the script the original conf is restored after the initial copy of the empty file.
And there is a hint that pressing the end call button might help instead (didn't try because I do not need it).

Been there done that. Sometimes some roms have setup wizards which takes quite a while to load. And sometimes for what reason my prepaid decreases from a 2 to a 1 digit number. That's why I decided to do this mod.

yup the reason I made this into a flashable zip is because some people [like me] don't know how to run scripts or adb.
Okay going to update this to include credits and a restore file so that it does the same function as the script

How about removing the sim before flashing...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
well, nice.
i usually insert a spare sim with zero balance (i knw we all hv spare sim cards). this way i setup everything reatore titanium backup, contacts etc. n finally i change my sim to the one which i normally use..
ummm hmmmm??
and NO.. few ROMs out there want sim to be insrted so this might do the trick to fool Newly flashed ROM..
