So i have a rooted Samsung Continuum, And i want to change my boot screen and since i dont have a recovery option right now i cant flash anything.
So i have to place the boot animation zip on the phone, Well heres the problem i cant find where im suppose to place the file?? Any help would be great.
Yeah, i tried doing the same...
But i learned the hard way that you need to have a kernel installed on your phone that supports changing the bootscreen.. Which continuum users do not have yet.. What we need is Clockwork, which there is development going on to get it So, soon
Ahh ok
Looking around i did find bootsamsung.qmg
and bootsamsungloop.qmg
No idea what those are lol.
Its coming tomorrow a pre-rooted, init.d supporting, custom boot animation packin' 2.1update1 kernel with ext4 AND rfs support. (;

Just looking at the /system dump files, they are .qmg files. Which I know nothing about, I was also hoping it was just a .zip file in the system media folder. I guess if you find a way to read the .qmg file, and create a new one once you dissect the old one.

Well not many people have this phone so there isnt much right now, There is a dev getting one of these phones so hopefully in a couple weeks maybe longer we should have some cool stuff.
Just a matter of waiting.

Well, the Continuum has been very odd about that... Most phones that are going to get pretty big communities, get them pretty quickly. It really is just a matter of being patient and not having devs rush things.

So, I'm loving CoreDroid, but it bothers me that it says DesireHD in the Phone info screen. I found the instructions to change it (and made the change in my coredroid zip file), but do I really want to set my phone up for a second time today just to change one entry?
In reflection, I think I will just check this particular entry in all future ROMS
Since it is the same rom and version, you should be able to flash right over top of it with out a full wipe.

Don't quote me, but it should work just fine actually what you could do is just delete everything and reflash the files you want to replace, this is how a theme is flashed.
So put the .xml file I need replaced in a zip in the proper folder structure, delete the file from the phone, boot into recovery and flash my zip?
I'll def be making a nandroid first, but thank you so much!
Speaking of nandroid. Does a nandroid capture EVERYTHING (apps, app data, call logs, etc) or just system state?
well what I would do (like you said) place the xml in the correct file structure, and then just delete anything else inside the zip that doesn't need to be flashed.
you shouldn't even have to delete it from the phone.
yes everything on the rom partition.

It also replaced my coredroid boot animation.
And it didn't fix the Model number in phone identity.
GRRR!
I did read elsewhere that this has to be fixed before the initial flash.
Oh well, next time I flash a Rom I'll make sure to change it.

Yeah. I just looked at the default.xml file and it was flashed properly.
Like i said in my edit, I did read that this has to be changed prior to the first flash to take.
Also, I'm kind of digging the Leedroid boot animation, and it fits nicely with the CoreDroid theme.

You have to name it as "boot.zip" and put it in /resources/customization (sorry if I spelt that wrong). If it still shows a black screen just give me your boot animation.

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

I will give that a go, thank you very much for the advice. I will check in to let you know how it turned out.
Also, how did you flash CWM? If the answer is anything other than "NVflash" stop what you're doing and search in the dev section for NVflash

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!
Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850

Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:

Its not a joke. If you're not going to be helpful don't comment. I know what a boot animation does and I know why we have them.
