C:\Windows\Boot\Resources\bootres.dll
Thats the file responsible for the bootscreen. Seems microsoft have switched for a .dll this time round. Will probably be ages until someone works out how the hell to make a custom one.

Why do people care about bootlogo in this day and age of the hybrid sleep mode since Win7? I think the only time I see a boot logo is after a reboot due to Windows Updates or driver updates. With SSD pretty common these days, that boot logo is on the screen for maybe 5-6 seconds.

Agreed. Even on my HDD based system its on the screen for 7 seconds. At the end of the day is 4 blue squares, not particularly offensive to look at.

Agreed on that part. But as a desktop user, I am not used to the sleep mode and do not use it consistently. Though windows 8's booting time is quite less, the plain 4 blue blocks look a bit cheap to me. Even windows 7 boot logo looked quite good. I don't mind sacrificing some seconds for a beautiful animation which rejuvenates my energy and gives me a good feel overall.
Not a big thing but if its there, then why not use it.
Pls again, can someone mirror that bootres.dll given on that website?

We cant mirror it when we cant get the file in the first place, all in the same boat as you.
Tbh, that fish is damned ugly.

Lol. And I thought the op must be having it. But the fish is still better than those four stupid blue quadrilaterals

So does anyone know anything about how this can be done?

yes. swapping the dll I already mentioned.
As for creating custom dll's for new images. No.

I wouldn't bother with the boot logo. It's on screen for less than 20 seconds. I understand that you don't think it's 'pretty', but it's not worth it.
If it bothers you that much, make a cup of tea while it boots.....

found this which may help you.
you cant change the boot logo but you can hide it

Dear Augen Customers (GEN Nation),
Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.

Hopefully someone gets one with some dev skills or just is able to make a custom recovery. Once that happens it's on. I'm wondering if adw launcher can be installed on this thing
I also got one, there's a patch coming tomorrow for the market problem. I can't install apps with APK's in gmail either without a katcher.
It's a sweet device so far. it's resistive touch, I don't think you can turn up sensitivity but we'll see.
ES File Manager comes Pre Loaded.. you can add any app APK to the SD card. and use ES File Manager to install
Installing Quadrant, and some games right now.. I'll post back
I picked this up and I am going to be creating a dev thread on this. I am not an expert on this by any means but I did get it rooted, got Titanium Backup on it (had to install Download Crutch from my SD card than downloaded TB from an APK I found online), and got ADW on it. Runs OK, I don't like the resistive screen and I agree with others that this is a really rigged build on this device. Market issue for me too, can't wait for the update.
EDIT: Dev thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7409528#post7409528
How did you root? I'd love any info you can give. where's your thread
Edit: Quadrant got just below the Moto droid according to there results. it was around 300 or so if i remember right. it was just below the Droid. It got good and smooth FPS during the 3D tests. It has the Mali-200 GPU inside with a texture unit rate of 8 units.
Linpack it scored a 3.962 or something but then i closed it. It's charging right now.. Does anyone know why it says I have Edge service and Roaming? as well as Telelco Loco for the service where my phone says T-Mobile. hjaha

Rom integrated ad blocking...

Im running chris41g(?)s modded stock, and I was wondering if there was a way that I could integrate the awesome adblocking of the big roms myself... messing with i GUESS putting together my own rom, and this is the one thing of all I am missing the most. I guess I am getting old, just want a simple rom theme-wise, but love the tweaks... anyone wanna help? Trade secret? If its something relatively simple like using 7zip and changing a value, or something to adb push, I can do it... just dont know what method you use, and would love to be able to just do it myself. Gonna hit up chris to throw it in his rom, but id like to do it myself too... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You could include adfree app in the system/app location of the ROM. OR, you can use K0nane's method (which I am even unsure how it works.) ha

Im surprised a launch 360 made it that long.. that was one tough xbox. Yeah i have an OG 60 gig (now 320 7200rpm) PS3, from right after the blu drives got fixed... people say I should expect the ylod soon, but Im insane about my gear, most of it is in a server rack. I really need to get back into fallout vegas though, if they made a fallout mmorpg that played like the real game, I would never leave the house.
Anyways, thanks for the time on the adblocking... will try soon...
I put a zip to include adblocking in the op of my rom... its better than adfee because it doesn't block words with friends lol

did you open ad free so it can request super user permissions and download the latest host file? Usually have to reboot once afterwards. Works fine for me.

though it is kinda annoying seeing the .. error loading page errors...
itd be pretty cool if someone would compile a real trimmed down apache or other webserver that only serves up a blank image when being accessed, have it only listen on localhost, and point everything back to localhost (i guess thats done already), to get blank spots, instead of 'error loading'

Whats the point of a big screen if it gets screwed up!!!

Samsung Galaxy II update to increase the size of icons
Even if Samsung were stupid enough to actually do this (and they aren't), you could just use an alternative boot loader (which most of us do anyway).
If you're on this forum, and still using a stock Samsung firmware, then what's wrong with you?
Number of rows on the homescreen is not hard to change, i am sure there will be a mod out within days to change it.
There will also be alternative launchers, tw4.5 etc.

I like it. Shrug. Big icons is some of the reasons people use MIUI in the first place.
OMG! They are giving us the option to have larger icons!! How crazy is that? People with bad eyes shouldn't be using smartphones!!!!!!!!

If you read it properly it says that "HOPEFULLY" the icon change will be optional.It does not in any way confirm that it will be and both links are the same review.

Take it from me, the change is going to be an option.

Maybe its a good thing cos my grandad needs a new phone anyway and the bigger icons will be just what he needs.Now i know what Im gonna get him for xmas
Optional or not. If disliked there are multiple launchers on the market to replace the factory one..beauty of Android.
LCD Density Changer and ADW Launcher is all you need.
Just change the DPI of your screen. 240 is WAYY too high for such a big beautiful screen. It's like running 800x600 on a 24" 1080P monitor. 190 is a lot nicer and more crisp. You can use Rom Toolbox from the market to achieve this. Root required.

Custom boot animations?

I was wondering if there are any custom boot animations that would work well with this device? I can't seem to find any.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Most phone and tablet Boot Animations will work on here, just make sure you put them in the right folder. You can look around in other tablet threads and get them from there if you like. If it's a boot animation from a phone it will only fill up the center part of the screen, but it still looks fine that way in my opinion.
RomToolbox also has a decent collection of Tablet and Nontablet BAs if you want to check that out too. Don't know if you need the paid version or not for those though.

No problem, glad to help
They will, but depending on the way it was made it might get cut off on the edges. You can actually edit the text file in the bootanimation.zip to do a rudimentary resize for the N7 but you can find those instructions in a different thread.
To install a custom one though, just download whichever one you want, rename it "bootanimation.zip" and replace the one in the system/media folder on the root of your phone. When you restart it'll play.
If any of that was unclear let me know and I'll explain it differently. I have a tendency to talk a lot and confuse people lol

[FIX] Another WiFi Fix

Hello
Little history: I bought my phone yesterday, and i'm shocked with de poor wifi. So I back to the store do change the device, but th saleswoman said I can't change it, because of the contract that I've signed with Claro (Claro is one of the mobile operator in Brazil, and I bought this device through a fidelity plan). So I decide to fix or brick this **** and buy another. Fortunately, I think I was able to fix it and my pocket thanks it.
First of all, let's clarify somethings:
1 - I don't know a **** about developing, so don't blame me with don't work. I'm sharing this solution (that worked for me) because I'm extremely grateful to XDA since of my first day in Android. And to fix this **** that Sony makes (haha!)
2 - As if I say, it's worked for me; My Wifi is detecting more networks now and don't disconnect them. Range is better to.
3 - If I can, I'll help, but I don't know a **** about developing (again!), and I hope that the real developers will come here do help who needs.
4 - I'm in 12.0.A.2.254 firmware (rooted) (BL Locked - I'll unlock it later to teste custom roms; just waiting a feel days because of factory issues)
Ok, let's go
I did it:
1 - root following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
2 - I downloaded that Rom for Xperia L (I think that is the same wifi devices on both phones) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419042
3 - extract the file 01_____C_n_T_JB_4.1.2_15.0.A.2.17_V1.zip\system\etc\firmware\wlan\prima\WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and put in somewhere of easy acess
4 - copy to your phone through root explorer
5 - Reboots
AGAIN: I don't know how to developing; I don't know if it will blow my phone or whatever; I just works here.
Thanks to serajr, for his amazing rom for Xperia L (I had one, but a mother****er stole it. It's a great phone. Better camera than Xperia SP)
thanks to DooMLoRD, for allowing us to root this great device
and thanks to you, that you understand my bad english
***If it posted in wrong section, please move it***
***Sorry if I forget someone in credits, just thanks to all of developers involved in XDA***
Greetings
EDIT: Forget do upload the files. Idiot.

At the moment my Galaxy Note II gets 2 bars at 10m distance with 2 walls.
While Xperia SP gets only 1 (or no bars at all) at distance of just 5m and one wall.
Where?
Where exactly should I put this .ini file?
Thank you
Frankly, I don't see any difference. I have the same signal power and the same problems with connection drops as I had before.

Well, in order to fix this problem, I searched the web a lot. I found many fix for it, but none of them works. I found a topic that says to overwrite this files and a lot of peoples saying that works, but not for me. So I tried this way and works.
I think it don't work for all devices, Like the lastest update solved the problem of wifi for a some peoples and not for other. Maybe something related to the region and the model of phone (5302/5303/5306/mh35)?
