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..

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!
Rooting Galaxy S 4G & Deleting Fota Files
Hi guys - I wanted to shared with all of you the methods that I used to Root my phone and getting rid of the FOTA files and "Bloatware" which free up ALOT of space.
****I want to thanks "Theshadowman" for the Fota files and to the developer of SuperOneClick, the awesome tool that makes rooting possible.****
Before this fix I was getting the "Internal low space" message.
Let's get started
Programs and Files you will need:
-Samsung Galaxy S 4G Drivers 32-bit: http://rapidshare.com/files/456420295/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.rar
-Samsung Galaxy S 4G Drivers 64-bit: http://rapidshare.com/files/456420354/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
-SuperOneClick 1.7 (To root your phone)
-File Expert (to Unzip files)
-Super Manager (Access to /data/fota)
-Fota.zip (Files that will free up all that space)
Additional Files
-Bloatware (Thanks to Chadster)
http://db.tt/RFzd364
***Note:*** You will find all the files you need attached at the end of this post with the exception of Root Checker and Titanium Backup. You can download those by simply doing a search in the Market.
How to Root your Galaxy S 4G
1- Download Samsung Galaxy S 4G driver and install it. Make sure you know what version of Windows you've got. (I posted links for 32bit and 64bit)
2- In your Phone, Go to Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging.
Note: You will have to check USB debugging or else it will not work.
3- Download SuperOneClick 1.7
4- Open SuperOneClick 1.7
5- Under exploit MAKE SURE you select "rageagainstthecage" and then click Root. Let it do what it needs to do Note: the whole process will take between 5-15 minutes
6- Download Root Checker from Market
7- Run the test and it will confirm you that your phone is Rooted
How to Delete Fota files
Step 1: Download all three files in your computer and send them to your email and open them from your phone.
Alternative method: Download them directly to your phone.
Step 2: Install File Expert
Step 3: Install Super Manager
Step 4: Open File Expert and navigate to the directory aka folder that you downloaded the files to.
Step 5: Press and Hold the fota.zip file and select Unzip files
Note: File Expert will unzip files by default in same folder.
It will create a Fota folder with two files fota_delta_dp1 and fota_delta_dp2
Step 6: Open Super Manager and then open setup and check the "Enable ROOT function" then press menu on your phone and switch to r/w (stands for read and write)
Step 7: Navigate to the folder where you have the 2 Unzipped fota files (fota_delta_dp1 and fota_delta_dp2)
Step 8: Select both and cut them
Step 9: Navigate to /data/fota and paste the 2 files in this folder
Step 10:Reboot phone and WAWAWIWA! between 150mb-300mb of free space
If you want to get rid of Bloatware - Download Titanium Backup from Market open it and uninstall every app that you don't need.
Warning: Becareful with what you uninstall.
Hope this helps and let me know if have any questions.
damn dude that worked! thank you, this helps the phone a lot right?? Hey man I was also wondering if you know a way to fix the lagging for this phone?? I've heard of oneclicklagfix thru superuser once u root the phone, but I can't access it because, like I was told not too long ago, there isn't a oneclicklagfix available for the sgs g4 right now. any pointers? thank you
Worked perfect. Have 400mb free. I'm also wondering about the a lagfix for this device.

now you've tried using that titanium backup app...now how would you know which bloatware you can removed and which you can't.
Just in time omg!!! Lol just got the galaxy s 4g today for $280 ahhhh yeahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its safe to say that if you didn't read about a lagfix in this forum, then there is none yet. I would only attempt tools for other phones if your an advanced user.
If you have the bloat zip file, use that as a template to delete apps. Im not that experienced.

If you use the paid version, you can freeze the app first to see if it causes any problems.(trust me, it's worth the money)
If not, just do as fknfocused said. Download chadstet's bloat zip (in the themes and apps forum) and use it to see which bloat can be removed.
But it is pretty basic. If it ooks like 3rd party software, just rip that sucker out of your phone.

I'm glad this helped. No lagfix yet for this phone, but once you get rid of all the bloatware you should experience less lag. I'm pretty sure it will come out but I am giving it time.

The fota.zip rocks! It was driving me crazy that I was removing the bloatware, but not gaining any internal storage. It went from 24M to 356M after your fix. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
If we replace the fota (firmware over the air) are we not going to be able to get our firmware updates over the air?

Quite likely, without restoring them, if you've used the space freed for something else.
The files aren't really replaced, but the "placeholder" files that reserve space for FOTA have been truncated to zero length.
Removing the files completely will likely allow them to be regenerated, assuming you have cleared the space for them on the internal storage, should you want to get any FOTA (which, unless you're running stock firmware or are a dev and need the new firmware, is an open question).
=D my memory storange application space is at 318 mb now =D

Well, since no one has mentioned this yet, hope has returned for the quick computerless root, via apk!
This is not my work, it is Chainfire's apk, with Android Exploid Crew's gingerbreak binary inside... brought to you by the makers of rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin... anyways, here's the xda post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Note: this only installs su with superuser.apk, and not busybox, from what I've seen, I tested this with stock EC05. I'm glad busybox is not included, since it would be broken, due to the limited space of the stock EC05 system. So for most using this, the first steps, after rooting with this, would be the following:
Edit: new instructions, for installing rooted kernel, and Clockworkmod 2.5.1.0, all without a computer:
* on the phone, goto menu > settings > applications. Make sure Unknown sources is checked. Goto Development, and make sure USB debugging is checked.
* Install the following apps from the market: SGS Kernel Flasher, ROM Manager, Astro File Manager, and Dolphin Browser HD, all available free from the market, the names here are market links, for your convenience. If opening the links on the phone, make sure to choose the market, when opening them.
Note: Astro File Manager is for ease of locating and installing the gingerbreak.apk on your sdcard. Dolphin Browser HD is recommended, so that downloads don't get the names truncated... The stock browser has been known to do this, especially on my kernel zip downloads.
* Grab the gingerbreak.apk from here (I used the 1.2 version of the apk). either tap the apk download from the dropdown menu, or use astro file manager to locate the apk, and install it. Now close astro file manager, and any other apps that may be using the sdcard.
Now it's time to open gingerbreak from your applications, and choose, "Root Device". It may take up to several minutes, before the phone reboots itself. If all has gone according to plan, you will now have a very basic root, with the Superuser app, so that you can control what apps have root permissions. If for some reason you don't have superuser in your apps, or the gingerbreak has frozen past 10 minutes, reboot the phone, and run the gingerbreak app again.
Note: I am not directly linking the apk here, out of respect for Chainfire, who developed this apk... I wouldn't do it without his permission anyways.
* download DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.02.zip and put on your sdcard
Original kernel post with sources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053252
* Open SGS kernel flasher, and be sure to give permission when the superuser prompt appears. Tap "choose kernel", tap .. , locate DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.02.zip on your sdcard, and flash the kernel. It should reboot the phone when done. You'll now be running a rooted stock kernel, with some nice added features.
* download cwm2.5.1.0.zip.
Original ReRFS Stock ROM and tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
Note: It's a really good idea to download ReRFS Stock ROM, in case you need to stock the phone, in a jam.
* open ROM Manager app, and Tap "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Choose the Epic 4G.
The following message will appear:
"Epic4G does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod recovery manually?"
choose yes, and select ClockworkMod 2.x.
Next, tap "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to, and choose the cwm2.5.1.0.zip on your sdcard.
Tap OK at "Reboot and Install", and be sure to give permission, when the superuser prompt appears.
Presto... rooted kernel with full busybox, and Clockworkmod, with no computer needed, for the epic!
Note: Here's cwm3.0.0.6.zip, if you're ready to plunge into ext4. Make sure you have an ext4 compatible ROM ready to flash, on your you sdcard, before converting to ext4. The stock EC05 system will not boot after converting to ext4. Also, be warned, that as of yet, no posted Epic kernels are ROM Manager compatible with ext4, though I am quite certain that tanimn is very hard at work, doing his best to make this happen.
Anyways, I figured all this would be welcome news, and gives me hope again, that an all in one apk can be mustered for the Epic.
I know some are you are saying, "But this is all so complicated, can't you make this any easier?" Well, I say, having dealt with driver and cable issues galore for months, supporting one click root adb scripts... that this is, in fact, no more complicated at all. It may even be easier.
Maybe with some luck and a little skill, I can do a custom apk for us in the future, but for now, this *will* work.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
It's been mentioned in "themes and apps" where it belongs not here in development.
OK, I did look there first (in the Epic section, anyways), but I must have missed it...
Some of the devs in the irc channel didn't even know, so I thought it was worthy of mention here, as much as a one click root is stickied in this very section.
If this thread needs to be deleted, so be it, I thought I was doing a service, calling people's attention to it, and outlining what steps should be taken, after using it.
Edit: now I see a post in the apps section, but my notes here are still very pertinent, to anyone relying on the gingerbreak.apk
theimpaler747: do what you will on this thread, it was intended as a public service announcement, and just might affect the development of the epic, especially since it'll most likely become the new root for gingerbread. I leave it up to you and your judgement.

First off, I suspect any one click scripts for gingerbread, would have to use the gingerbreak binary, also listed and linked in the Chainfire post.
Hopefully, before GB is released (and hopefully a patch hasn't been, for rooter's sake), we can make an apk that flashes a proper recovery in bml8. (Preferably, in my opinion, to cwm 2.5.1.0, until the user decides to convert to ext4, which can be done with a subsequent cwm zip, like the cwm3.0.0.6.zip in my ReRFS Stock ROM post.)
joeykrim has made a kernel flashing apk (FlashImage GUI, in market), but at my behest, left out the ability to flash bml8, due to the fact that if a corrupt kernel is flashed there, odin or heimdall is required to fix it, once a 3 button boot is attempted to a corrupt bml8 flash.
For now, I would recommend a manual bmlwrite bml8 flash for a known good recovery kernel, for anyone using the gingerbreak method.
Also, some kernels, like my Clean Kernel, have reboot recovery to cwm 2.5.1.0 if RFS, and, can be flashed with the free SGS Kernel Flasher apk from the market. Once reboot recovery is achieved, cwm can be flashed to bml8, using the zip tools in the ReRFS post.

Actually, you can convert to ext4 too, with the cwm3.0.0.6.zip posted in the ReRFS ROM thread... just flash it through cwm 3 button boot, or from reboot recovery with the kernel... keep in mind, that reboot recovery won't work for ext4 with the Clean Kernel, at this point in time.
but anyway, there's still nothing you can't do without a computer!

Also, almost all the links are phone friendly now, especially if you use the Dolphin HD Browser to download files, and the app names, are now market links, in the hopes that will make installing them even easier from the phone.
The only link that is not a direct link, is to the actual gingerbreak.apk itself, which is contained in an xda post, that requires xda registration to see. I respect that and the original dev, and will not give a direct download link, without Chainfire's expressed permission. I do think others will understand this.
Anyways,
Hope you all dig it!
Is there any app on the market thank can handle doing it because I downloaded the ucki2 or l2 (dont know what it is) leak, and I have no access to a computer and I know in dmans post he had a password and I can't extract the file on my cell with root explorer it says they are encrypted...

There is a mobile Odin but I don't think that it supports the infuse.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
You can either ...
A. Download rom to your SD card then flash from recovery. Or...
B. Use either Odin or heimdall from a PC.
Big Dog Infuse I997 ICS CatyRom
like was said. mobile Odin could in theory but it doesn't support the infuse. follow chainfire on his xda threads. ask for it. beg for it. see if there is a hack or work around.
I didn't want to clutter up the dev thread with these questions, but I've never used any CM build on any phone.
I unzipped Bryan's CM7 build to see what was inside and noticed it didn't seem to have a launcher and didn't seem to have any market app. Ok so does that mean you have to pre install Google apps from the SDcard to be able to access the market?
In reading the instructions, it seems like Bryan's CM7 build uses the same kernel as his regular beta kernel thread but that can't be right, can it, with the discussion on the thread....
I noticed that the Google apps were all modified for CM7, so does that mean that ordinary apps won't work unless they're modified?
Can I still use the TW4 launcher on CM7? Used to it.
The business about USB storage not working in Android. I assume that means you can't put anything on the SDcard using the USB cable after Android has booted up so that you have to push everything on there with ADB, is that it, in recovery mode?
1. It does contain a launcher; Its called ADW Launcher.
2. Yes, you would need to flash the google apps. I use this one
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
and this one http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip​
3. You flash the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file then the gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip google talk with video chat support.
4. Its a different kernel. CM7 is using the MTD version. While regular stock roms use BML.
5. I believe you can use the google apps on those files on any rom. But most roms already bring them integrated.
6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.
7. As mentioned in 6, you cannot use TWLauncher on cm7.
8. Yes you would have to push everything through ADB in the meantime. Pushing/puling through adb does not require rebooting to recovery though.
Can someone make a video on how to install the rom?
Just follow the written instructions on the thread and you'll be fine

Honestly they confuse the crap outta me. A video would dumb it down for me and im sure a few others.
IDK how the heck I made my efs backup.
But if anyhow, you manage to make some sort of a tar file with your efs files, you should be fine.
After that,
do the erase_image
and mount /efs
and cd /efs
and tar xf anybackupname.tar
you will install. That is if you get your.

My suggestion is to wait until the install procedure is easier.
In the CM7 OP, Bryan said (twice) to re-read OP after updates.
Making a video will give you proper instructions for this build, but if Bryan updates the install procedure users following the video are going to have a mixed bag of results, and possible bricks.

You need to follow Bryan's instructions EXACTLY, a in use the heimdall command prompts

OK, I think I'll stick with VB, I'm not this tech savvy.
I'm going to make a video guide tonight hopefully, but of course I'm going to leave the explicit direction that noobs should not flash it

I have a question as well. Yes, I know that this isnt exactly high priority, but I'm wondering if later there will be a build with Wifi calling. I was trying to install it myself, but it kept force closing, and I don't wanna try anything that'll mess up my phone any worse than I have before.
Wifi calling is basically a must for me since I basically live in Smallville, KS. I get little to no service here, and without it, it usually takes forever to get anything. And yes, I've tried every modem I could, KG4 works best, since I can sometimes get one bar.
I'm trying to complain or anything, and I thank Team Acid for bringing us CM7.
Neo I'm sure at one point bryan will get that working.

6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.

So does that mean that NONE of the apps will work unless modified to run on CM7? Or are you just talking about certain Samsung issued apps? I'm in the middle of an old Tarzan novel on my e-reader program on the phone...
I have a question with the process flash boot.img with heimdall...when i open heimdall front end and put boot.img into the flash local package..i get a error the tar header contained an invalid file size..on the flash tab, it only takes pit files..also when i just use the heimdall ..a black screen happens similar like a command prompt and just exits..
how do i flash the boot.img with heimdall?
This is using fbs instructions that I am using and i am stuck on step 7. flash the latest boot.img from bryans op..

Are you on windows? If so open command promt. Cd into the heimdall suite directory. Put your phone in DL mode and connect to usb. From command type "heimdall detect". Should say device detected. Then just put the boot.img in the same directory and follow the OP.

That's just Samsung-specific stuff like TouchWiz that require Samsung's modified frameworks and extra libraries.
Just use FB's install guide instead. I was going to wait until it was installable through CWM, but this is essentially the same thing with a few extra steps.
