[Q] Touch screen not working in Android

In my HTC Touch HD touch screen not working in Android and ringtone as weel. please help...

which version and phone are you using?
delete a file called ts-callibration and then boot haret again. during the boot screen with all those text that scroll by, there should come a point when a white box with cross hair will come up in the middle of the screen. This is the calibration points for your screen. do that and your touch screen should work. hopefully that will help.
otherwise it just froze on you.

i am using 2.2 and HTC Touch HD.
how to celibrat screen?

boot into windows mobile.
go to file explorer and delete file ts-calibration in the root of sdcard if there is
such a file. if there isn't then dont worry.
now boot android by running haret.
look carefully during the linux script boot.
at a point in time during the scrolling script text you will need to calibrate the screen. (this is done before the boot animation comes up. if boot animation comes up then you have gone too far and will need to do steps all over again)
calibrate by touching the points of crosshairs. once done your touch screen should work. and it will load into xdandroid animation boot screen and into android froyo.

Boot screens, shut down screens, and animations

So Ive found another boot animation I love and have put it to use. Issue is the boot screen doesnt match. Im hoping someone has the PS skills to match them up. Id like to see the boot screen with a black background and change the HTC to a regular blue and the Incredible to a Cyan.
The boot screen to match in reference is the Helix boot screen.

Secondly anyone know where the shutdown screens belong in the ROM? I know where the boot screens go, but not a clue on shut down screens or what to name the file.

Do you mean the boot (turn your phone) off animation? That is in the same folder as the boot animation. If you mean screen off animation (tap power button with phone already on) I'm not sure where that is, I've never known anyone to mess with it.

That is the animation Im referring to. Its not in the same folder as the boot animation in Redemption. I was browsing in there this morning. For the boot animation it goes in the System/Customize/Resource folder.

Oh, that is odd. For the few roms I've changed boot animations (Nils Business Gingersense 2.1, 3.0, Synergy, Optimized Shift, Hybrid, etc.), the down animation was always in that same folder. So whatever the boot animation is titled that is included in the rom, give the down animation the same title.
Example,
Nils 3.0 Gingersense boot animations are titled hTCbootanimation and hTCdownanimation, I rename my boot animation the same thing. I know the title is case sensitive.

Im aware of how to do it. I have no issue using Root Explorer or ADB to push the files to their location.
I just have no idea where that location is or what its supposed to be called or if it even exists.

There is nothing in that folder.
The Redemption Rom uses the OEM boot names: VZM_bootanimation. There is no shutdown animation.

Edit- never mind, I thought you were asking a different question.

[Q] The Unbreakable Bootloop - Am I bricked?

The Device:
Nookcolor Refurb - came with stock 1.2 installed. Rooted with CM7 - initially had boot partition problems and went back and did the fix for it. (was using an old CWR, so had to redo that, too). Worked mostly fine for a few weeks. Had a little trouble installing the recent cm7 stable update. But after clearing and redo, no problems. Then I updated Adobe flash to 10.3 through the market. bad, bad, bad. (I've discovered). It has gone into a bootloop, but it doesn't even get in far enough to bring up CWR either internally or on a bootable SD card. It brings up "loading" - whether in CM7 or CWR - then shuts itself off. I have tried the 3 button salute and 8 interrupted boots, but neither works in any way. Is there something else I can do?
Also, a side note, the device will not charge to green light - even if charging overnight. At first I thought it was a battery issue, but after a day of combing the boards, I'm thinking bootloop from hell.
Help!!!!

Are you running CM 7 internally or from a card? If internally, try making a bootable CM 7 card and booting from that.

I am running it internally. The device will not boot from a card or internally. It doesn't get far enough into the boot before it loops for CWR to start up - either internally or off the sd card. I can get to the boot menu (hold down n when it starts up), but it doesn't boot off any of the options there, just goes to black screen.

What happens when you do the 8 failed boots?

Nothing really happens with 8 failed boots. I think it terminates the boot process before it gets far enough along for it to "count". Loading comes up, I count one thousand one....all the way to one thousand seven. Then it shuts off, often reboots itself. Same deal with CWR. Loading comes up, count to 7, shuts off. I can get to the boot menu in CM7, but I it doesn't respond when I request any type of boot from anywhere. Either hangs or restarts.
I'm trying ADB, but it won't stay connected. Flicks on right at the end of the loading process and then shuts down. It really sucks.

Shelly, shoot me a pm... i'll give ya my phone number and we'll work on getting it going.

Sorry if this is redundant, but in very basic troubleshooting have you tried charging your Nook? It probably is more complicated/serious than a low battery, but it wouldn't hurt to rule it out.

I finally did get it to charge to green light. Didn't make a difference. I can get it to hang sometimes when it's trying to get into CWR. And it will stay on the Boot Menu.

Just a side note, I have another NC that I've had since Jan. Autonootered, Manual Nootered, CM7ed, brought back from the dead many a times.
Dizzy Den - am shooting you a message shortly. Thanks.

Has this been solved? If yes how?
Could you find a solution to your problem?
I'm having the same issue now. Bought a Nook Color in November, Autonooted, flashed recovery from ROM Manager, flashed CM 7.1.0 internally from downloaded ZIP files via ROM Manager, was working just fine for a week, stable, fast, perfect. Overclocked to 1200 MHz after a few days which made the experience even nicer.
Then installed and started Google Maps which didn't work - the Nook turned off on launch of Google Maps app.
I had set Wifi to "stay on all the time" beforehand (which might have been bad because it creates Sleep of Death syndrome as i now know).
Now when i turn it on it shows "Loading" for 7 seconds and then the screen turns off. This is when booting CM, when booting the internal recovery (shows "loading recovery" for 7 seconds) and when booting from any SD card image (i've tried at least 10 different bootable SD card images, different cards and different card readers).
It recognizes and tries to boot off SD cards - i get different "Loading" screens depending on the image, honey-colored for a honeycomb image, with two skulls for a recovery, ... So that works.
The nook seems to be in some kind of "on" state because i need to hold the power button to turn it off before i can get it to boot again.
I can get to the boot menu as you could, but booting from there doesn't do anything at all. So the hardware seems to be OK because the boot menu itself works well and for more than 7 seconds.
I can charge it and it goes to a green light so it's no battery issue.
The nook does not show up on USB - well once it did for a second but that was it.
I even tried to let the battery run completely empty so internal registers can get reset - didn't change anything.
Help! Is it bricked now?
Going to a B&N store isn't an option btw - the next one is 6500 km from here.
(This is the first time i ever ask for help on a forum. I am running a ZTE Blade with CM7 just fine, and I've been stuck often enough but always found a solution myself...)

Have you guys tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308304
Or completely restoring it to stock:
http://mrm3.net/nook-color-recover-any-bricked-device/

Tried, can't get far enough
Kingdruid, thanks, yes i've tried both of those links - sadly they don't help at all because i can't even boot SD card recovery images...
I tried various recovery images including the newest clockworkmod, but i am still stuck They all work for 7 seconds only.
So yes, a nook can actually be bricked it seems.

When you overclocked it, did you notice it getting hotter than usual? I wonder if it was due to the overclocking. All the users I see with unrecoverable nooks is after they overclocked.

No, i did not notice much heat. And it was working well in its overclocked state for a few days.
Do you think it's CPU is fried now?

I own 4 of them so I would prefer the term "Unbrickable", but at this point I'm not really sure.

Try 8 failed boots and see if you can get into recovery to reset to factory.

cant get it working
so first noob post
i used this thread to root my nook color
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

how did you write the image to the SD card? you can't just do the write button in winimage, you have to use the "convert virtual hard disk image to drive" or something... really should be mentioned in the n00b guides.
Sequence in winimage:
Disk->Use disk (whatever your sd card is)
Disk->Restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive (select the image you're trying to write)
Click ok on the warning and you should have a boot disk
"Write disk" is prominent but just copies the files to the disk, not resize or make it bootable.

Nope - no change
DizzyDen, nope, 8 failed boots does nothing. Just fails 8 times, no restore.

Android boot loop...and can't revert!

...my effort to install Android on my new NOOK Color went smoothly until it started to boot and the boot screen just keeps spinning.
Read many posts appearing to address this issue but reverting to a stock reader seems to require various apps only for a PC. Being a Mac weenie this leaves me out in the cold.
...is there a Mac-centric reader here who can help me return my NOOK into the reader it originally was?
I'm a bit gun shy now of making the device both an Android tablet and a reader! Thanks much in advance.

...addendum!
...playing around with the NOOK I was able to raise a reboot option which, to my surprise, cured whatever fault was behind the boot loop. A couple of spins and CM7 in all its glory appeared.
...but now I can only reboot into CM7...seems to be no option to boot into the original B&N book/magazine reader.
What am I missing? What's the "open sesame" to choose the reader? Tnx again.

One thing your missing is giving us information regarding your setup and what you want and/or are expecting.
Is this a SD install of CM7? If so... when you power it up... press and hold "n" button to get the boot menu... selecting eMMC / Normal boot will boot into stock.

...thanks much for the quick response.
...yes, I did an SD install of CM7 with all the Google apps, etc.
My objective is to be able to toggle back and forth between the B&N reader and the Android tablet. If this isn't possible I'd like to go back to the reader.
Unfortunately I can't get the boot menu with the "n" button when I power up. Andoid mounts and a white screen offers only "power off" or "re-boot"...no other options.
...following the instructions I used from the web for installing CM7 I removed the SD card before I formatted, etc. Is this an issue?

Looping Problem
Okay so I think I may have the same problem hopefully someone can help. So first I install CM7 and then it gave me when I tried opening the market so I was like okay... so then I downloaded and install manuelnooker and now im boot looping .. So I insert the SD and turn it on but it doesnt boot up to recovery. I only see CM7 and then it boot loops into Nook Color With the big N on top and the small android bottom right corner. Can anyone help me out on what is the best way to get back into recovery. I know if I turn it on while holding the N its says CM7 and in the bottom it shows recovery but never goes to it. Much help please..
Okay so I finally got into CWR but now it gives me an error formatting data when I select mounts and storage and select format data? Im trying to revert back the nook color using nook complete restore 1.0.1. and I try doing it format data in the opening screen but I flash the zip and boot loops. any help is much appreciated.. Thanks

...some progress!
...less sleep but some progress.
...after several unsuccessful attempts I finally got the NOOK to restore to factory specs with the "8 interrupted boot" sequence [can't post the URL because I don't have eight posts yet :-( ].
Wasn't necessary to do the second step described in the post...NOOK automatically did the restore after zeroing the data and my B&N account can be accessed without more.
...but now I no longer have Android capability. Is there any way to install a simple toggle mechanism for both on the same tablet?

You never fully described what you did to begin with. Did you follow specific steps on a site? If so, let's have the URL.....

Mi.com displayed on bootup screen on cyanogen is 13.1 android 6.01

I did a factory reset on my phone recently and now when I bout it up it looks different. Instead of having "cyanogen mod ready" on the boot screen, now it says mi.com ... Is cyanogen somehow affiliated with miui?

If it's displayed before the boot animation it's probably the splash screen which you can restore to stock using fastboot and the correct file.

There's not much of a boot animation. Just the screen with the OnePlus logo and the "powered by android" on the bottom. After that, is a mi logo, and android on the bottom with some scrolling ellipses, them my home screen.
I did install a theme through the built in theme app, but I don't think that could change boot screens.
It was taking over 5 minutes to boot before and now it's under 20 seconds, probably having something to do with me using 63.3 GB out of 64 available... So I'm not too concerned about it, just curious as to how it could have gotten there.

Its definitely due to the theme you installed as i said earlier. CM themes have the power to change your boot screens. you can change it back to default by going to themes and customize the selected theme.
