I have been trying to customise my boot animation and splash screen and have come accross a few issues, any help would be apreciated guys
1) so the bootanimation.zip is in /system/media/ right? but how do we get the audio to work with it? should it be the same format/filename as other android devices? because the one im trying to use from my DHD wont work
2) i've been trying to flash a new splash screen, i have an unlocked bootloader, i converted a .bmp into a spash .img but when i tried to flash it fastboot returns the error "partition not found" what is the splash partition called on the play if it's not splash1
Sorry to dig out an old thread I'm also interested in making a new splash screen for my xplay and I can't find no play specific instructions.
Any of the free xperia guys fancy shedding some light on this? I like the freexperia splash but also would like to flash my own design.

Sony have messed up partition tables compared to other android phones, it looks like there isnt even a splash1 partition, i wouldnt be suprised if, the spash is held in /boot like recovery, meaning to change the splash, we would have to add it to the boot.img and flash that

Thinking about it yes it will be in boot.img as when you flash cm7 splash screen gets changed to free xperia splash. Ill extract boot image from cm7 and take a look when i get time.

Great thanks.
But when flashing cm7 splash screen changes, and its only boot and system img what gets flashed.

The file is part of the system.img
You can replace the boot animation located at
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Make sure to chmod 644 the file

ok. I got an htc inspire 4g from a friend. when you look at the about phone in the settings menu, it says: model # htc inspire 4g. but when i go into android assistant app and go to tools>system info>platform info i get: device info: Manufacturer: HTC, Model: Desire HD, Device:ace, Product:htc_ace, Brand:cingular_us,Version:2.2.1.
does this mean that my phone has been rooted before or what?
No. There are many information pieces that state the name Desire HD. The Inspire is basically a Desire HD with a few differences.
The only major difference is the radio and audio chip.

The Inspire is identical to the Telus Desire HD. Other than the firmware of course. They both also have 2 mics to aid in noise reduction. This is different than the European Desire HD which only has 1 mic.

I used bubby's to root mine, but I needed the zip from attn1 because of an issue with CWM not working right. Worked fine after that. I've since changed from CWM to 4EXTRecovery.

Hey, Sasquash. What method did you use to flash 4EXT, flashing thru recovery or the installer? Did you uninstall CWM beforehand? I'm thinking about making the switch myself.

I used the one that you flash through recovery. You just install it from SD in CWM and it'll overwrite CWM. You don't have to unzip anything.

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way i can change the model number? My Inspire 4g shows up as Desire HD in the phone identity section...
I read about editing the build.prop file but is there any easier method?

Download Absolute System from the market. It has a very easy to use build.prop editor. And it auto backs up every change you make. Change it, reboot, and you have an Inspire!

Use the ace hack kit. Very easy if you follow the "effen manual". Lol

I agree the hack kit is the way to go. Very easy. Just make sure the SD card is formatted the right way.

Hi I'm new here, been a iPhone user for years, and jailbroke every iPhone I had. I'm no expert but I can manage my way around most computers or gadgets. However I downloaded revolutionary and initiated it, but when it tried to install CWM it crashed my question is how do I get clockworkmod recovery on my phone now!? As it won't let me re-do the revolutionary app, just says your phone is not supported! The s-off has worked just not sure where to go from here? To get my phone rooted and get CWM on my phone! Any help would be much appreciated!

Get ADB working for your computer then from there flash CWM through fastboot if you have any questions from there use the search bar or google.
G2X and Sensation 4G I love both

Yes you can, or install a custom rom, they are faster and more optimized.

As i said before, i would recommend You to flash a GB ROM version to begin with. Flashing ROM is very easy.
Here are the steps:
Place the ROM on SD card
Place a Wipe script on SD card
Boot in recovery mode
select install zip from sdcard
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Wipe script (DON'T CHOOSE REBOOT!!!)
select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the ROM
After flashing is complete, reboot the device.
Good luck
Honestly.....read, read, and then read some more. Before I ever rooted for the first time on my trusty og Droid, I read information for about a week. You shouldn't flash anything until you feel comfortable doing so. If this comes off rude I'm sorry, it's not my intention, just some friendly advice. Good luck and happy flashing.

Sync your contacts with gmail account and when you boot new rom just sync again with gmail and your contacts will be back.

When I got my first android phone, after years of Nokias, it took some time before I realised how much simpler it was with synced Gmail contacts.
