Ok so just got my nexus 7 and decided to unlock/root and install cwm after that got the goo app to install TWRP got the CM10 rom and the gapps wiped devlark and every thing but now im stuck at the little boot screen with cyanogenmod logo? I suffer from a brain dis-function and find it hard to understand so maybe im missing something please can some one help me been on this for near 3 days trying to fig it all out and now have come to a stop as iv messed it up some how

Do i need to factory reset and do system wipe aswell maybe thats the answer?

Well i did a factory reset along with the other wipes and has worked but now i can not get the keyboard to come up it just says it has crash

could it be that i may of installed the wrong gapps?

Well i came to the conclusion thats installing the gapps was where i was going wrong. I now have it working and keyboard works fine now trial and error prevailed prob risky but hey figured it out in the end. I now have CM10 4.1 running on it if there any known issues maybe someone out there (if there is anyone besides me lol) would b kind enough to tell me and maybe advise me on another ROM or a better ROM to try. I just want to get a really good look and feel to my already great nexus 7. Kind Regards Sirus2012

Probably not spam. Translation maybe?
If you try flashing CM10 and you can't accomplish anything because your keyboard is force closing, it's probably your gapps.
You need the 4.1 gapps, not 4.2. CM10 is not 4.2.
That is all.

yeah..check your version..
google helps

Cheers for that sorted it now was using 4.2 lol deeeerrrrr what's the best kernel for cm10 for performance and bat life? I can I install it through recovery mode?

Yes, you can install kernel zip files via recovery.

Bootanimation sound?

I've been playing with bootanimations past day or so, (including making one myself, which I scrapped because it sucked.)
My big question is, does the Nexus 5 allow for boot sounds? I've found a wicked sick bootanimation that has included sound file that is also wicked cool, but of course, no idea how to make the sound work.
I'm running rooted, stock rom, TWM.
Cheers!

I'm curious about that too .. Hope we have some luck :good:

Hey, author of that popular BIOS animation here. According to some users in my thread, boot sounds are absolutely possible. I haven't had time to research them yet, as I'm in the middle of finals, so I have no idea how they work or what's involved, but I definitely plan giving it a look ASAP.

This would be pretty cool. I'd definitely use it. I'd like to be able to add a sound to any bootanimation (even stock - which I like).

Mu understanding was that you would need to edit the desc.txt file in to boot animation and list where you would like the sound to start. Then import it to /system/media/audio or /system/media/audio/notifications but neither worked for me.

Has anyone tried this?
Hello!
To get a custom sound you need to place the required audio file(mp3) into system/media/audio/ui named as Bootsound.mp3

If not try naming it to bootaudio.mp3
Worst case scenario... Ask @evil1art. He's a brilliant touchwiz dev in the Samsung galaxy forums. His Wicked ROM on the s3 had boot audio and shutdown audio.

I've tried quite a few different things. From what I've gathered, it's not possible on stock AOSP because the kernel has to support it. So if we can convince a kernel dev to try to implement it, we might have a shot.

I tried the bootsound method (and a few variations of it) with no luck. Had the bootsound binary and everything. Looks like it only works on Gingerbread.

Yeah, it works on TouchWiz because the kernel supports it, from what I've read. Maybe if an AOSP kernel dev has the time to check out the TouchWiz kernel source...
Edit: Or vice-versa, as the case may be.

Now someone needs to come up with a boot animation changer so you get a different ani every boot.
Anyone??

Someone did that in the N4 forum. I think it was called Boot Box. I don't know if it would work on N5, but you could try it.

You have to set the correct permissions on the boot animation. See what all the other files in that folder have as permissions and set the same for the boot ani.

Yup....you can change the png image on part1..with another with the same resolution...just one image with the same name...feel free to share it after that

I'd personally like the default Nexus 5 bootup animation to start going after instead, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I couldn't figure out how to change the size of the Nexus 5 animation (it's a very small size compared to the glitch animation). If you'd like to give that a try at some point, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I cannot post links unfortunately, as I am a new member, but searching Nexus 5 boot animation download gets you several options.

Can you make this one?

[BOOTANIMATION] Cataclysm Rom

Hi
I've been using Cataclysm Rom since its JellyBean days. It the first and the last Rom that I always use as a daily driver on both my N4 and N5. Now I've retired both the devices and have bought a OnePlus2. Although I don't regret buying the Oneplus2, I surely miss Cataclysm. And it goes without saying, @atl4ntis has created a 'Gem of a Rom'.
Here is my take on the Cataclysm bootanimation for the Hammerhead. The sequence is at 60 fps. It has 3 parts to it. The beginning (part0), a loop (part1) and an end (part2).

Flashable zip coming up soon!
P.S. I’ll be uploading one for the N4 (Mako) and N5 2015 (Bullhead) as well.
Enjoy!
Thank you @scoobyjenkins and @sewer56lol for guiding me through the process of making my first boot animation for the Oxyslim Rom on the Oneplus 2.

Excellent work!

That's a cool animation. I haven't tried it yet so it might already work like how I'm about to describe. But the latest Android Boot animations have had three parts to them. A starting animation, a loop animation that loops until everything is loaded and an animation right before it ends. I think this would be cool set up in that way. the first would be the logo and text coming in. The second would be the flickering just looping. And the last would be the screen off effect before it boots.

Why don't you download it first and give it a try.

This is cool, but what if I would like to switch back to default Android M boot animation ?
Update: replaced on default bootanimation.zip on Cataclysm Jan 5 Stable release, working like a charm, thanks

Very nice animation, thank you!

Good job, thank you @Andro1d

Totally unnecessary, flashing the zip would be more work than just replacing the file in root explorer...most people would want to backup the original boot animation.

You don't need the device to create a flashable. Just have the script extract /system/. As long as the file names are the same and in the proper place, they'll replace each other.
If you want, I could whip one up. [emoji14]

Dirty Unicorns 11 is the first built from source custom ROM for Google Pixel

Outstanding.
My favorite ROM is possibly just hours from being released to the public.
This ROM is typically soooo stable and features tons of customization.
I imagine we'll have to wait for all the usual features to be added.
I mean, it is the FIRST to drop.
This is still a fresh ROM and will likely have some ironing out to be done but that is what the ROM world is all about.

I have no affiliation with the DU team.

Yaaas!!!! So excited about this too! I hope a Marlin build is close behind.

Wonder when the XDA thread is coming. For anyone wanting to flash now they have it posted with instructions here

Yes. Seems fine, a little laggy compared to stock imho. And camera is lacking. I went back to stock as I couldn't get the official camera on play store. I've extracted the apk and will test a other day. Lazy.

Seems snappy for me. Got this error FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist) when trying to flash the vendor, but it still booted and works fine (gave me a an old vendor error on first boot, but doesn't seem to have affected anything

Well let me know how it goes, I'll flash it again if you have good news. Let us know if your able to root as well.

I wonder if I need to flash the vendor if I'm already on NMF26O?
I flashed the full 7.1.1 to both slots. I wonder if I could dual boot this on one slot and stock/root/Elemental on another slot.
EDIT: Just had a thought. Since both slots share userdata, wiping to flash would this rom would wipe my other slot as well. :-/
