Completely off-topic but how do you like the micro cell? I was thinking about getting one.
i like it. works like it is supposed to. i live in the one spot of the city that gets no coverage at all and it gives me signal. they only down side is that if you are streaming a video or downloading files it will get very choppy (which is understandable). but other than that it is awesome.

If this sounds like a noob...well it actually is...but what is a micro cell and is it for the A2..?
Basically it is a mini cell tower in your home that uses your internet. So if like me you get no reception at home it will give you full reception.

I tried to replace the two files using root explorer and now my phone just repeates the boot animation. What can i do?

How did you replace them? Root Explorer or ADB? Because if you did it with root Explorer, it would have automatically rebooted when you replaced the Framework.apk, and then continue to bootloop after that. If you did use root explorer, the issue is a result of incorrect permissions being set on the framework apk.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you can chance the permissions to the framework.apk, or push the original back to the phone. I dont know the exact commands to put into the terminal, but hopefully someone here could type those out and list them?
Hope it helps, and good luck!, because what just happened was, your phone was soft-bricked, and until an sbf is released that you could flash, this would be the only plausible way to fix it.
DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET/DATA WIPE THROUGH THE STOCK RECOVERY!
It will get rid of your root permissions, and then there's no hope until an sbf is released .

Your going to have to use adb for this!
1. download the system dump over at the development section for atrix 2
2. you will need 2 file from the dump framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
3. put those 2 files on the root of ur sdcard
4. load adb and at the prompt type this
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /sdcard/SystemUI.apk > /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 755 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
now type this for framework
cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Next type
reboot
That should fix it ......
let me know how it works for ya

Hey guys,
I haven't really given anything to XDA but have taken a lot. So I thought, I'd share this with ya. I think it's freaking awesome.
I flashed it via ADB on my Nexus One, and it works perfectly, and I'm using Rodriguez Froyo ROM, so it should work for most of ya.
Directions:
1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows
2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder
3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system
4. Type in command prompt
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

And that's pretty much it.

I just pushed it right after installing the new Rodriguez ROM with the new paul r17 release and I got this issue, so Im not sure if you did the same, it actually went into a boot loop for me, so I re-wyped everything did another install, rebooted the phone and waited for it to boot into the main screen.
Then I rebooted, and then I pushed it. Then it worked fine.
For some reason it reminded me of the Super Street Fighter 2 sequence when Ryu charges up a fireball then throws it towards the screen. Any Street Fighter fans here know what I'm talking about? Anyway, I'm going ttotry this out. It looks awesome...wonder if anyone could make a Transforming Title, but use the words Nexus One.
Weird, I pushed it using Root Explorer and the bootanimation was the word Android with light shining across it. This happened to me before and once before that it was the word Android but with a Spot Light going back and forth, like the 20th Century Fox scene from the movies.

How can I do this through Terminal Emulator? My device won't remount - ADB has been a pain in the ass for me since FROYO. Can you make this as a simple update.zip like I've seen others do?
UPDATE
Here's the fix for those who can't "adb remount" their device:
adb shell mount data
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
adb reboot
Worked like a charm

Heh, not sure what you did. If you look in the zip the PNG images do not have anything like that . Perhaps, you pushed a different file?

Although, I didn't figure out how to flash it via Terminal.
I figured out what went wrong. There are 35 frames and it loops at 30fps. I deleted the last few frames and it works fine (make it a total of 30 frames per loop).

Easier than terminal its root explorer. Copy, note permissions pre paste and correct permissions.... All set!
Anyone else notice the resolution in the text file is set to 480x854? Which is droid or milestone resolution.
The uploader might want too change it to the nexus resolution, 480 800, if not I will do it when I get off work and get home. Atleast on my phone I will change it.

Using Root Explorer…
1. You have to be rooted in order to do this. Rooting info here and here.
2. Download Root Explorer from the market.
3. Download the Droid Life boot anim: bootanimation.zip (alt link)
4. If you downloaded via PC, mount your Droid and drop the .zip file onto your SD card.
5. Unmount your Droid.
6. Open Root Explorer, tap on “sdcard” and locate bootanimation.zip.
7. Long press on bootanimation.zip and choose “Move”.
8. Hit the back button once and locate the “data” folder.
9. Tap and open “data” and then “local”.
10. Hit “Paste” which should be an option at the bottom of your screen.
11. If there is already a bootanimation.zip file, let Root Explorer overwrite it.
12. Back out of Root Explorer, reboot your phone, and BAM!
13. Enjoy your new Droid Life boot animation.

Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.
Here's what I'm using...
I had to cut it down significantly from my original plan because of the boot speed...but this lines up pretty perfect on my Evo. Here are the links if anyone wants to download themselves:

Can this be installed without adb? And if so how please?

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.
I love this nice job!
you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

Hmmm that is weird...The actual mp3 was just edited from an incredible boot up when the file WAS named android_audio.mp3. Glad that you got it figured out, though.
please help
i dont know what im doing wrong but every time i try to push the bootanimation.zip i get
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' :no such file or directory
and i have both the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file in my tools folder and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Terminal Emulator app in the market will do this.
su

Tried that using beterterminal and I get an access denied error read only???
From adb I get cannot stat no such such file or directory "bootanimation.zip"

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

DONE
Download the zip file to the custom screen animation you want to use to your memory card. Boot up into clockwork recovery. Go to install from sdcard then choose files from sdcard. Navigate to the file u want to use then install it. The next time you boot the phone normally it should show you your new screen animation. Atleast that's how I do it with my rooted epic 4g using clockwork recovery

Use adb push or a file explorer with root to place the bootanimation.zip (from my attachment) in the folder "/system/media" it is the animation from your first youtube link.
If it says something like cannot write, read only permission, you have to type this into a console on the phone or in the adb shell first
"mount -w -o remount /system /system\n"
The boot animation is safe, it either shows, or it doesn't.

Yes dont extract just copy it there.
Either your phone supports this and shows the new animation.
If it doesn't support it nothing happens and you see the old animation.
Nothing can really happen. The old animation is still there.
If it is supported your phone will look at that directory and say ahhh a bootanimation.zip lets use that instead of the default one...

Ok, to know if I have an understanding of the SK4G enough to begin development, as I don't own the phone, I have developed a quick Gingerbread theme.
Full GB theme with accurate GB battery.
This is not a flash. Push the files to your framework folder, test, take screenshots, and report back - please.
I do not have the phone so no screenshots but this is based off my Vibrant ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811
Framework is based off the Dump found in the dev section.
If there is no input, then I will assume there is no interest and find my way back to the Vibrant section.

I'm busy but I made a quick rar for you. Flash it in CWM to push back stock framework-res.apk and tw-framework.apk in case system won't boot. (you may want to clear cache before flashing as I didn't add it into the script Im in a rush)

What are the movement keys for cwm? I booted into recovery once and saw that the correct keys weren't working..
Id save his cwm flash on the card just in case, then use root explorer to push mine in place.
Or right click on his choose copy then paste. Rename the new ... - copy.zip to gbtest.zip. Then using 7zip, open, not extract, the gbtest.zip, navigate to the framework, and drag my framework in and it will overwrite his - now close the zip and save both to your card. You can now flash mine and then revert with his.

I push everything from recovery and save the files I want to push to the tools folder so I just have to use:
cd c:/android/tools
c:/android/tools adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-res.apk
c:/android/tools adb reboot
im a little confused.. i cant seem to access adb. theres no bootloader, so what state does the phone need to be in?
also, i would flash via cwm, but the sdcard wont mount, so im a tad confused at this point.
ok, i figured out how to get into adb, but the files wont push. i get an error:

EDIT: I ended up just using Root Explorer and i put the 2 framework files into system/framework manually. If you need more screens let me know. Also, as you can see in the screen shots, the txt is hard to see in the options and "add to home screen" windows.. i went to the theme options and changed the theme bar colors, which changed the txt to black.
@bburke88 where did you go to find theme settings and change the text to black ?

Hey, I just used the theme changer. Its built into the sk4g. I had my theme set to the default, but when I changed it to the light blue It changed some of the txt on the widget selector menus black. Though, the power off menu is still white, so its hard to read.
Thanks alot, and that could be handled by xml edit to change the text color most likely or change the popup background color.. thanks again though.
Have you tried pushing the stock framework back to make sure it'd work ? I might see if I can change the popup background color to a darker color like black or grey to keep it in sync with he gingerbread theme

Yeah let me know if you get something going. Im waiting for Jellette to get back on so we can figure out what to do next.
By chance, do you have a working recovery? i can boot into it, but the controls are weird, and i cant get my sdcard to mount, therefore it wont let me do any nandroid backups..
Looking at the pics now. But thats what I needed to know, it looks like the themechanger overwrites xml changes in the framework.
Hi There,
I bought an atrix 2 that is supposedly unlocked and rooted. I download a root checker and it says it is rooted. I was reading that if it is unlocked that u can use a different carrier which I have been. The phone was set up at the beginning to use T Mobile with a APN set up for this carrier and it worked fine. To save some money I switched to simple mobile which is also working fine. This might seem petty but the T Moblie APN is locked and i would like to delete it but dont know how. Can anyone help? My phone is running the currant ICS 4.0 update.
Thank you

You'll need SQLite editor for this.
Using that goto settings storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
Open settings.db
Search for and change dun_apn_changeble,dun_enable to 1.
Reboot.

Hey just to be clear before anything else what exactly do you mean the apn is locked???Have you tried adding the apn for your new carrier manually by going into settings/more/mobile Network/acces point name/new apn???

When I got the atrix 2 it was set up for T-Mobile with a tmobile apn. This apn has a locked symbol next to it. All i can do is open it and look at it. Cant edit or delete it. I added a simple mobile apn and the phone works fine with everything I am just wondering if there is any way to unlock the t-mobile apn so I can delete it????
You can still use your new apn even if the t-mobile apn is still there

I know it works I have stated that already I just want to clean up my phone and get rid of the t mobile apn. Man I didn't think it would be this hard anybody got any suggestions. Somebody put it in the phone and locked it there has to be a way to reverse this.
Thank You

If you really must remove it, there is only one way.... I will tell you that it is a little dangerous if you mess up you will bootloop and have to fxz.
You will need the android SDK.
Your phone needs to be rooted.
You need to use adb to pull the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file to your computer.
Code:
adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Now you can edit it with any text editor you want, and you will need to remove the whole block that has the tmo APN.
You will need to mount /system read write:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
exit
exit
Then using adb put it back in place with this:
Code:
adb push apns-conf.xml /data/local
adb shell
su
cp /data/local/apns-conf.xml /system/etc
exit
exit
And do this to set the perms and owner correctly:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chown root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
chgrp root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
Now you can also just leave it there and it will hurt nothing.
Yes some things on this phone are harder to hack, but to me that makes it a little more fun and challenging.

You did not follow my directions then. I gave you every step. Take another look, as you can not copy files directly to /system/etc with out root perms.
permission denied

So Again, you can not just push the file to /system/etc.... follow that above and it will work, I do this all the time.
I do it exactly as u posted.
