How do I use a custom rom boot.

I would like it if someone could tell me how to get/use a custom rom boot cause I really want one and haven't the slightest idea cause I'm tired of seeing the sprint 4g start up lol.

Well if you are rooted, then go donwload one of the many custom boots on this site. Download the bootanimation.zip (and sound file if its included) to your phone. Then go grab a program like astro or root explorer and copy and paste the 2 files into /system/media. I've done it this way a few times and have never had a problem. Next time though you should use the search feature im pretty sure theres a whole thread dedicated to it.

I searched for help first but they didn't explain it the way you did. I'm going to try your method. I hope it works, I wonder if someone could make one for me..

Do a search for UOT Kitchen they have boot options and they have flashable zips

Then you shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place if you don't know at least ONE of those.

I haven't tried either, all I know is that one uses the computer and the other has something to do with terminal and a bunch of codes, which is easier and I rooted my phone just fine, I'm learning..

it all depends on what you have I have the evo with froyo 2.2 android on it and was told it cant be rooted but i followed a video on youtube and got mine rooted you don't actualy have to flash the whole rom to get a new animation booted... just root your phone depending on what you have... i used the unrevoked method follwing a youtube video of course with windows i had to install the hboot usb thing on my evo anyways i got it rooted and the unrevoked site is just one click i got the software from unrevoked dot com... download the unrevoked 3 for whatever operating system your running on your PC... hook it up to your PC watch the youtube video tutorials they will help... don't just watch one though i spent a whole 2 weeks reasearching everything i could to root it... just incase i failed i knew how to undo it from my research... the unrevoked method worked for me... and i havn't been limited to anything i got the free tethering got full premissions i have custom lock screen and boot screen.. anyways go to the site download that theres several other files you will need like the hbooter software if your rooting the evo.. i'm not giving a tutorial on this because i spent to much time myself and knowing what i know would take this whole website to type up. ok so
back to the boot screens.. the site unrevoked is just one click... litteraly start it up with the files all ready and it'll do the rest including rebooting your phone and loading into recovery everything, now you will not loose everything, i did the root and lost nothing but just incase because there is always the chance of errors... get an app called astro... to back up all of your installed apps and an app called MIQ to backup your contacts, calandar, notes, everything basicly on your phone besides apps... on a website create a profile to upload too and then get one more app called SMS backup to backup all of your text messages outbox and inbox and you can restore it all later if for anyreason something is lost.. these are all free apps... now after it roots your phone it will install the clock work rom or w.e. i guess it does flash your phone with a rom but its pretty much the same exact thing and when i did it i lost nothing everything was still installed. if you have the correct files on your computer in the C drive on the root of the C drive... the directory you should have for the files you need to download are "C:\android" and thats it.. anyways again just root the phone then download an app called boot animation changer lite....
with boot animation changer lite all you need to do is have a rooted phone.. scroll through what you like and preview them and if you want it then tap it and choose your screen for me on the evo i chose "480x800" i don't know if thats the wrong one or causes problems but it hasn't failed yet its working good and looks fantastic

I used the exact same way to root my phone, I too used a youtube video and did a lot of research before doing something crazy. I got the app your reffered to me and it worked pretty good (thank you!) But now I want to figure out how to use adb or how to push boot roms from this site onto my phone and 480x800 was the correct size..I think. Your help was very descriptive and I like that. So can anyone help describe the adb method and or the push method so I can learn how to use the boots from this site? Please and thank you in advance.

First - Do you have the EVO drivers, and the Android SDK installed on your computer? This is needed in order to utilize ADB.
If not:
ANDROID SDK
Some of the bootanimations have been made available in a flashable zip that you can install from recovery.

If you are talking about the ones that were installed during the root process under /android then yes, so how would I go about using that to install the boots?
Sent from HTC EVO 4G via xda app

OK then.
Place the bootanimation.zip, and (optional mp3 file)
Open a command prompt and cd to wherever you have your TOOLS folder in the SDK.
ex) cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools
Then you mount the device, and can push the files to your phone to this directory:
/system/customize/resource/
ex) :
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource/
Then simply reboot through adb:
adb reboot
NOTE: If the bootanimation you are switching to DOES NOT have sound then you need to remove the SPC_animation_final.mp3 from /system/customize/resource/
DONESIES!

I need help with roms

I cannot flash roms or kernel. It won't boot recovery!!! I have stock rooted shift. How do I make a custom recovery? And install roms and kernel

Probably the easiest way is to download ROM manager from the market. The first option in the app is flash clockworkmod. Very fast and automagic. Have fun! Happy flashing.

I have that and kernel manager. Flashed it twice after it didn't work the first time. It hangs up on the HTC boot logo after I try to boot recovery

turn off your phone
power it on while holding vol down.
does the first line say S-OFF or S-ON?

S on I didn't do nand

I've tried a few more things. I used visionary to root my phone. Was that the wrong thing? It all works. But I can't flash. Lol

Yeah if you want you can use terminal emulator on your phone just open it up hit su get your super user permissions then start the commands the first time I rooted I did it using adb the second time I rooted I lost my adb and just chrome to phoned all the codes from my pc to root it from my phone
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Alright!! Thank you all who have been helping. I have only a few more questions because I'm a little slow ^_^ ok, first. From the emulator I typed Su and gave permission.... now what? I looked for the commands in development and couldn't find. I'm trying to turn s off. I don't care so much about perm or temp root right now as long as I get that annoying s on to be s off. Lmao. I need commands please!!! Assume I have no access to a computer!

Check out the development subforum. It's a sticky thread by bcnice20.
i dont need a signature

Alright I have that, now its not explained there but in order to do that via the terminal do I need to dl the framework and sdk to my phone? I do not have a running computer right now. I had a crap amd system which is officially dead. It's now all spare parts. So doing the shell on a computer isn't going to work for me :/ yes, I'm difficult. Lol

the commands given in that thread is the exact ones you would need, but since you're using a terminal emulator in your phone, you don't need adb.
do step 1
skip step 2
do step 3,4,5 via your terminal
do step 6
extra points:
once you're perma-rooted, you can go straight to installing Rom Manager, and flash clockworkrom that way.
then reboot your phone to recovery, and do a nandroid backup.
once that's done, you're all set.

Thank you dude!!!!!!! That rocks!!! I'm at work and I'm doing it right now. This is way more important than work ^_^ anyone else addicted to Android?

When the perm root method was finally developed I was at work with no access to a PC. I ended up rooting via phone terminal just because I couldn't bear to wait a couple hours until I got home.
^ Shift Faced

Could someone explain step 1 and 3 for me if I'm using android terminal emulator. I tried it but nothing happened. My device is temprooted. I download the file into the download folder. I use root explorer to extract it... where?? I tried a couple places even the root folder (Its not in SD card) then once its good how do I check the md5 from the terminal. I type Su to get permission then what? The string in the post doesn't seem to do anything no matter how I type it. Or maybe I just don't know the command. I'm fairly new to this kinda thing. :/

That's awesome. I'm feeling the same way. I don't want to wait for a computer it might be a few weeks I'm impatient now lol

Wait, I got part of it. I just need to know how to save the file to the root of the SD card and then how to check the md5sum. Once I know that I'm good to go

[INFO] Perma-Temp root that sticks!

info below pasted from source:
http://forum.androidspin.com/showth...e-Dissappearing-SU-Binary..?p=22493#post22493
Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root!!!
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
If you have trouble with the Superuser.apk, uninstall first & reboot then run the .bat file again..
What is installed?
Busybox w/ symlinks
Superuser.apk
SU Binary
Fre3vo
sqlite3
What's Removed?
slackerradio.apk
TMOUS_Navigator.apk
Transfer-pyramid-8.30.0.26-S30.apk
Protips.apk
IdleScreen_Stock.apk
HtcTipWidget.apk
com.htc.TrendsWidget.apk
com.mobitv.client.tmobiletvhd.apk
FusionStockWidget.apk
Stock.apk
So without further ado, the link!

Used and it works like a charm..

Thanks! It works nicely.

Eugene is a great dev...I hope like hell he has less trouble from people in the Sensation group then he had in the Vibrant forums.

Awesome ! Thank you ! Will try in the AM

Great job posting this. I'll definately try this on my sensation. Post this in the evo 3d section as well.

Man freedom might come even sooner now that eugene might be working on it maybe teamwin and eugene should help each other get s-off alot faster that would be awesome!

Works great. I originally grabbed it when he posted on twitter. I actually forgot to remove SU prior to trying the first time and it failed, but after removing SU it worked like a charm.

so i was gettign issues, but i will try to run without su installed

Reboot your Phone before Running. worse case, do a Factory reset to clean out the old temp root files.

I know this is a sensation forum, but it seems like most of these root methods are interchangeable between the EVO 3d and Sensation. Will this work on the Evo 3d, or would something need to be modified? Thanks for all the work.

[How to] Disable CarrierIQ on the Atrix 2

I am posting this in the Developer forum, because it is still a little more than a In-experienced user can handle at the moment, and the potential to get into a bootloop is a little higher if you are not familiar with what you are doing here.
If you are at all new / uncomfortable with Android, UNIX/LINUX, this phone, or adb, then: PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
If you get into a bootloop I am not responsible for this, nor is this the place to complain if that happens. You can ask for support here though if this process has caused that.
If you do get into a bootloop, then try and help me out, with providing as much info as possible with what happened (any output or screen prints are VERY helpful). I am also posting the original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file here AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. That way if it does all go wrong it is here to grab. So don't go asking for it someplace else, or even asking here for it.
You have been warned!
Now with that out of the way, on to the good stuff.
1) Go grab some kind of bloat freeze program, from the market. I have used bloat freezer from the market with great success.
Just download and install it, don't run it just yet, if you already have, and frozen the "Device Health Application", then unfreeze it, and reboot, before doing the next step.
It is VERY important that it is done in EXACTLY this order. The reason is, if the Device Health program is frozen when you let the init script run, it will not work exactly as it should and these services will restart, since part of it is frozen when it first runs, and it all has to be disabled in the proper way, so that it can not be restarted remotely, or we will HAVE to use cron to run checks. Cron is an elaborate hack, I don't want to have to do, unless we HAVE to. If you do it in the exact order noted here, cron will not be needed and this will not restart.
2) Go get the init.goldfish.sh file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh.tar
push this tarball to your phone:
Code:
adb push init.goldfish.sh.tar /data/local/
End code
Now is the command line part of this hack.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
tar -xvf init.goldfish.sh.tar
cp /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh /sdcard/init.goldfish.sh
cp ./init.goldfish.sh /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chown root /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot
End code
Now when your phone comes back up:
3) Open your bloat freezer program and freeze the "Device Health Application"
Your phone will freak out, and tell you that Device Health has stopped and it will keep asking you to FC, all you can do is pull the battery.
Put the battery back in the phone an boot it up.
Now CarrierIQ should be 100% disabled on your Atrix 2.
As promissed, here is the Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file in a tarball, just use the same code above to put this back in place.
DON'T USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY THESE FILES INTO PLACE!!!
Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh-orig.tar

LOL....
Hopefully I have not scared everyone from trying this.... I just want to let all the newbies who just got this as thier first android phone yesterday, and rooted it today, and now think that this is a good hack to try, that this is not the best thing for them just yet. It can and will bootloop the phone if you get too excited and don't follow the directions exactly... I got mine in a bootloop testing this all out, and finding the exact steps, but it was not hard to get out of, because it gets into android enough to let you adb in, if you screw up...

quick question: Why would rooting followed by freezing not work for that application? I think I did that when I got the phone. I don't see anything called Device Health in my running or installed applications.
Is carrierIQ still running on my phone? Have you got a string I can look for in the 'ps' output in the Terminal to confirm? There are 100000 processes running on these phones these days, most with cryptic names.... I miss the G1 days....

No just freezing the device health app just stops the collection process.
The part where you run the commands to stop the services in android are where the data can and will be sent to CIQ or AT&T, there are other things collected that att does not care much about (ATT only wants what is collected with the dev health app), and that goes straight to CIQ, so the services at the OS level are VERY important to stop. There is really not a way to see them running, but I have found that these can and will restart if my instructions are not followed 100%. To find out if CIQ is doing anything take a look on youtube there is a video that explains how to look at the system logs and see what is being collected if anything, and what is being sent out. After a lot of trial and error, I found this is the ONLY way to stop it 100%.

Hey Jim. sorry I've been out of the forums for so long on this. I was going to dig around my atrix2 and see what I could find wrt carrieriq. I got stuck on missing shell tools and you gave me some advice wrt paths and such. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for fixing up my env when I shell in? I also don't seem to have grep anywhere... odd.
YOu mentioned doing some of the destructive work in an emulator, and I would like to try the same thing, but I've no idea how to get the atrix2 ROM into an emulator. How did you accomplish this?
I followed the instructions above precisely and verified that my init.goldfish.sh is indeed modified correctly with the carrieriq stuff, and have suffered no ill effects. I have not, however, attempted to determine if carrieriq processes have stopped running. I did notice that after having frozen and unfrozen device.health.monitor a few times, it doesn't ever register as a running app... wonder what's up with that.
thanks for the help.

I was wondering....could this be made into a handy dandy flashable zip?
Then after flashing just freeze the app?

NICE! you really are a jedi master!

Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.
You will still have to freeze the device health app as in the OP.
This is just a test right now, once someone other than me tests this, and reports back, that all is great, then I will update the OP, to this method.

That does not perform the hack, only detects if it is running. The voodoo ciq detection app works much better though.

I just rooted my phone, applied the hack and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Device Health App but I didn't see any FC.
Although when I opened Ti Backup, it told me that my su right are wrong. They are 4755 instead of 6755 or something like that and TiBu told me that it will fix it. I fixed it then froze the app and no FC or nothing. Phone is running fine but not sure if it worked.
Is it really necessary for the app to FC in order to show that it worked?
Should I try it all over again?
Thank you.

It seems a few application detect that the phone is rooted with the presence of su. Can someone be root on a device, using one of the available exploit, without having to push and use 'su'?

You need SU to do anything in root. May want to read the what is root threads, they are really informative and even may surprise you with some info you hadn't come across yet

Actually one can have root access with out the superuser.apk there's a thread on the g2x section about it, it's in the app and theme section. I reccomed that one fully understanding the implications of not having SU before they remove it though.
