nice- can't wait to see what JF can do with this!! i noticed there is a built in pdf reader too...

0_o
ooooo...I'm excited for this, what the outcome will be.
^-^

PDF Reader?
Interesting, there seems to be a PDF reader in there, and an FTP client. Did you install these on your phone, or were they supplied with it? It'd certainly be nice to have pdf capability in the new cupcake update for the G1...

We may get a taste of cupcake early depending on what JF does with this.

NOTE:I'm tired as crap cause I stayed up for 48 hours but I'm so happy cause of this. Excuse my errors.
I'm gonna be the risk taker here and try to apply this on a G1. I should be able to use my backup from nandroid if anything happens. So all this is the system "partion" as fastboot seems to describe it as? So basicly I have to mount system via recovery and replace it?

This was all in it.

I may get this to work by making it into an img file(nandroid backup file)...How would I do that....on Windows 7?
EDIT: IDEA! Install the latest cupcake build from andblogs.net and try installing all of this stuff manulaly

Could you just copy say, the PDFReader.apk onto your sdcard and install it from there? Or drop the apk into an update.zip?

I tried to install the PDFreader but it fails due to missing libraries. How do I load this firmware into the emulator so I can mess arround with that one instead?

Crazy idea. Take the latest JFrc33 update and overwrite any file in the update with the magic system files...should atleast boot

Lots of HTC stuff

Yeah, to be more precise it's missing all the HTC framework stuff. Doubt you would get away with just adding that stuff to your install:
Package com.htc.pdfreader requires unavailable shared library com.htc.framework; ignoring!

Somebody should change the subject to HTC Magic System Folder.
Then more people would go to the thread.

pdf reader, etc
hmm, i tried copying the frameworks into system/framework and then installing the .apk file, but that didn't seem to work. Do additional frameworks need to be registered, i wonder?

Changed to HTC Sapphire/Vodafone Magic
Cause officialy it's from the HTC not Vodafone.

Tried my update idea...boots to recovery...atleast it boots now.

HTC Framework stuff

Yup. See the bottom of /system/etc/permissions.xml
Thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if the android build this thing expects is newer than your current one, with assorted changes in the API, and if the HTC framework stuff depends on more HTC stuff lower down the stack (I notice there's a "libhtc_ril.so" for instance in /system/lib - not looked into what exactly it contains tho).
As a result it'll probably take a bit more than just dropping things into your current installation. That said, I'd love to play around a bit more if I weren't at work

Stop update your phone using these file. These file is made for Magic, not Dream. It has driver file for Magic, not Dream. Wait for JF and stop doing stupid things.

[Bootscreen] Sushi Animation

You guys thank you so much i've been asking for help all day and no one has offered to help.
Do whatever needs to be done to it as long as the quality remains the same. Can't wait!!!!

Updated post.

Fixed the problems mentioned earlier, boots perfectly.
You do not have to worry about deleting the bootanimation.zip file inside /system/media folder. I've taken care of that. I've edited the google script to delete the bootanimation.zip first and then to flash this boot screen.
Enjoy.

pseudoremora said:

In order for this to work, you need to first remove the bootanimation.zip thats inside the /system/media/ folder, otherwise even if you flash this, the original boot screen will still take precedence.
To do this:
1. Open Command Prompt
2. CD into androidsdk\tools
3. Run following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
exit
exit
Enjoy.

Download root explorer from market. Mount the sd card and delete the file. Iv never used it though.
But youll always want adb.. It will come in handy in many situations.

Don't do that, I've taken care of it.
I've updated the bootscreen and created a new flashable zip file. All you have to do is copy to your sd card and flash.
I modified the google script to delete the bootanimation.zip before flashing your bootscreen, so the removal will be done automatically when you flash this. Enjoy.
I'll update the original post.

Or that also works... Never hurts to add something to script and save the headaches of people not knowing how to do things themselves (or just havent learned yet).

Indeed. Simplification is always good.

Darn. I was too anxious and did it in adb instead of the easy flash. Oh well, I'm liking it though. Great job!

Learn Linux is what needs to be done. Dual boot if you can and start messing around. Linux and Android go hand in hand.

I think it needs to have more frames, it seems too jerky.

Love this boot screen. Every time my phone boots I tell my gf to look @ it and I grin. She gets pissed.

Woww, this is nice, I will try it myself Cute GUI TOO THANKS DEV

Tools like this are always welcome, thank you.
Just one request, the title is deceiving, could you change "Boot" to "Splash" or "Startup".

Quick bump for the updates. Hopefully this will help people out.
mind you this program install everything in the /system/media directory and gives it 755 permissions.

nice work as always amoa

glad to see you're still around amoamare. awesome stuff..
i remember you back from the mobile-files(R.I.P) days.
i had no interest in bothering to change my boot animation but since this is now so easy.. i'm thinking.. "why not!"

tried this but did not work no idea why great tool

I've seen a few boot animations, but, is there a repository of them somewhere?

I tried to unpack the rar file using androzip but it failed...how exactly do I set this up?
***EDIT*** Just saw it had exe files...i guess this needs to be done via cpu...any tips?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Works just fine, but I have a question.
This doesn't change the boot up animation of the Sprint logo, how do you actually do that?

Good Job man, this is a really useful application. I can change boots sleeping, in a coma, but this is sick for those who cannot do it themselves yet. Keep up the good work. devs like you are what makes xda awesome​

Well thanks guys, I just seen that it was on the main page. Yes i will include a way for you to be able to have a silent start up.
Basically just a check box that says "Silent Animation" or something.
Im up for any suggestions on this as well. I will be updating this again in the next few days until then. Here is a screen shot of my current project
This is for cricKet specifically, this particular one is not for release.
This is a screen shot of how the one that will be released will look like.
Basically where it says "Install CKT ROM" will just say "Install ROM" and you wont have "Provision Phone"
This program is designed to help you "Root", "Nand Unlock", Install "Recovery" and Push a "ROM" to your SDCard while further more giving you instructions along the way.
Of course its not for you "Advanced" users who can do this. It's for anyone looking to modify there phone but dont quit understand all the adb cmds.
BTW This is just a idea that I might release it. I haven't thought entirely if i should....
O and about the thread title, i cant change it haha so if a mod wants to change it to something more suitable thats fine.

lol, dont do it, ur tool would make it all too easy!
j/k, great job man as always

It's good to finally see a dev who cares to do a project like this. I wish I had the time to contribute. Maybe after I'm done with univ and fail at trying to find a job I will. Thanks for all the hard work anyways.

So I'm running CM7...
sh debian.sh seemed to complete just fine. (I even went step by step to confirm since there's a 'clear' in there).
but...
sh debdroid gives me:
# debdroid
function: not found
modprobe: chdir(2.6.37-cyanogenmod-01174-gaa3cf65): No such file or directory
debdroid: 47: Syntax error: "}" unexpected
#
I'm decent with linux but a noob with bash (or any coding). It seems like a function is missing (or I did something wrong).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do I see gentoo around ther corner?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

easy1600, from the way your output is, it looks like you're not in a bash shell, but just the su sh shell. exec the command bash then exec debdroid. Thank you for trying it out.
As for Gentoo, I've been using Debian for years and never messed about too much in other distros other than arch. Though if you can get an ARM Gentoo img this method can be tweaked to work with any ARM img really.
Update: Here's a WIP of the Debtop software which will allow basically the same functionality of the Motorola Atrix Webtop software.

Same exact problem here. =/

Aerodynamix: Type 'bash' then try again.
OP: What is the simplest way to copy a .cap file from debian to anywhere I can access it from my laptop? If I can just get it to android /sdcard/ I'm golden. Or if I can just send it anywhere that I can reach it...

Well, you can utilize the unionfs script which is supposed to mount the sdcard and debdroid or you can open up a file manager on your phone like astro and nav to /data/local/debian while debdroid is running.

The problem i am having is that when I type Bash im getting "bash: not found"

You should grab the BusyBox tools from the market if you haven't already, I'm almost positive it comes with bash.

Yes I just installed busybox from the market on my phone and still getting the "bash: not found"

I got everything working, thank you for your help

My /data/ directory is empty (debian is running). Unionft script doesn't seem to work at all.

[GUIDE] CMD or ADB at school!

im sure most people wont need adb at school but some people might not know how and want to use adb at school if needed.
so at school (high school for myself) we don't have admin rights so we are unable to access cmd which is "sort of" needed for adb here is a quick guide with my very little knowledge.
1.How to get CMD:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as shown above if you where to try to open the admin has disabled it. now what your going to want to do is this
right click on desktop and open a new text document. (it can be notepad or another program not sure if word will work with it)
open it and type this into it:
@ECHO off
command
comand.com
pause
then hit file, save as: Start.bat to the desktop as show in this image:
now on your desktop you should see a new file called start with some cogs on the icon and if you open it your get our honorable CMD.exe! (note, they disabled it for a reason dont be messin with school computers)
2.How to get ADB:
now the process to do this as well is not very hard, now we all know adb is a few hundred megabytes and we will never be able to
download it in time. we don't need all that sdk crap we just want to good ol adb. download the zip from this users thread here:
Be sure to give her a Thanks! : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926486
now your going to want to unzip it and when you try to open adb:
Dang it school why you do this
Now after your done sobbing its a pretty easy and simple fix, pretty much did what you did last time. instead, right click on RunMe that's in the miniADB folder and hit edit. (if you didn't extract it, it wont let you edit it) and type in what you typed in last time only deleting the cmd.exe in the line, you can keep it there but when you run RunMe it will say its disabled but when you hit a key on your keyboard, it will get rid of that.
there we go, now that we have adb start hacking away! happy Flashing!

Mine!
