[Q] 02 Boot Animation & Preloaded App Removal in Oxygen ROM - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

My first question here guys so go easy
I've flashed the Oxygen Gingerbread ROM to my Desire and as near perfect to what I want as it is I've got a couple of questions and you lot seem like a helpful bunch!
First of all, can I remove the 02 boot animation screen I get before my replacement boot animation launches? Not a big issue really, but I'd prefer it not to be there.
Secondly, is there a way to remove the GMail app, I prefer the generic Email app and don't see the point in having both.
I have searched around on Google and on here, however if this has been asked and answered else where please let me know where and I'll have a read.
Also, if any further details are needed please tell me which so I can provide them - still learning so don't know what else could be required.
Cheers in advance.
Edit: Should of also said, if you who know the forum better than me feel this would be better in a different section, please move as you see fit.

Welcome to the forum
This was a job that could've been found by searching or looking in the WIKI, but I'll guess you didn't know the right terminology, so didn't know what to look for:

Afraid you can't delete/remove the splash screens, only change them. You could flash a blank pic as the startup screen, then replace the Welcomehead96.png file with a blank .png to get the same effect, but you can't delete them altogether.
ok thanks, tried downloading splashtool but whenever i try to open image converter i get the message mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependancies not correctly registered

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks
Scott
Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

How to android tmobile htc hd2

Ok i may be wrong for posting this thread but i have searched for 3 days to find a app to android my htc hd2 by tmobile. I'm no expert but i've tried every site i could to find a app. That being said i'm looking to add tikl to chirp and whatever else the android app will allow me. If there are any "good" suggestions please let me know.
Next i have loudtalks which i would love to remove from the phone all together, don't ask cause i wish i didn't install. Neither of my friends have the app which makes it dumb for me to even get so please guide me????????
Look on HD2 LEO area
I found a link that had a combo that flashed Chukky on the winmo side and installed Froyo2.2 on the sd It works without errors. There is one thing that is quirky about it you have to load every time you turn on the phone into winmo then there is a android icon and you restart to android. Otherwise, when it goes into sleep mode the phone won't wake up. The other thing I found was that the flash can get corrupted if you run the battery dead. FYI. I am trying to remember exactly how I found the flash.. I think I got directed to a link that was Chukkys actual site and then from there I found the link that provided the Android. hope that helps...

[Q] JellyWiz Stock keyboard...... Want It PLZ

I ran JellyWiz for a few days but there were a few things I needed that I couldn't get ( I Know due to the T Mobile Base.) I need the Verizon usage widget to work along with I was missing NFL Mobile... I know I read in the right thread (I have to post here since I have never posted on this site but am rather experienced with Android..) that you can possible change the build. prop to get the verizon apps available in the Play Store.... But my reason for all of this is I REALLY want to keyboard he used in this ROM.... (Stock Hybrid not custom.) I have searched the net high and low looking for what version it is... I tried to extract it from the ROM and installed it but it kept crashing... I am assuming because the build.prop was for 4.0.3 and I am wanting to run it with 4.0.4 Can someone point me in the direction of where to locate a working .APK for 4.0.4 or get me going in the right direction.... Like I said I can pull it from the ROM but am not sure what all I need to change in my ROM to make it work.... Thank YOU for any help..... I am going to go browse through this section and start answering some questions here so I can build my rep up and be able to inquire in a more appropriate location... Thanks Guys and Gals have a gooden!!
Please ignore this... After further flashing I now see that it is all just the stock Samsung keyboard... It had been so long since I set up any emails on my rom that I noticed the "@" and ".com" buttons on JellyWiz and really wanted them on mine... I have them more or less already... The layout is a little different but when typing in an email address field it brings them up automatically..... I do feel very schmucky for this........
