Cyanogen Mod alien - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

A couple of months ago I flashed CM10.1 and when I did the rom installed an alien logo on the screen when I boot into recovery using Clockwork. Does any one know how I can get rid of the little blue fella?
edit: darn, I thought i was in the general forum!

It's the splash logo of CWM. Can't do anything about it.

I think it's part of the new clockwork, try flashing an older copy and it may go away. I recently flashed the most current version and it showed up.

Has nothing to do with recovery. The splash screen is in the kernel. Can't change it unless you know how to compile kernels.

It's CWM splashscreen. Not the phone's. The app itself has a splashscreen when you boot into recovery.

lol nope

Clockwork added it and it only shows when you boot into recovery. Doesn't bother me to much since I prefer clockwork over other recovery so we just have to deal with it :silly:

Thanks everyone for your input!
I have flashed new kernels and an old CWM... neither gets rid of him (her).
My two cents: We are all here to have independence from people putting crap and bloat on our phones! We want our phones to look, smell and act the way we want them. Thanks so much to the dedicated developers and open source that we have this available to us!
I think that if i wanted an alien in a splash screen, I would put him there... BUT I don't!
So I say shame on whomever put it in there.
That is what Big Red does too!

Get TWRP instead. It's better than CWM for this phone anyway.

Every app has a splash screen. It was put there by the devs of cwm recovery. Not vzw. And my phone doesn't work with twrp. Only cwm.

[Q] Can't flash Custom kernels on NEXUS S 4g

Noob question??
I've had the HTC Evo 4G for the last month and a half, and before I even purchased it, after talks with old friends of Jailbroken iPhones I had decided I was going to jump into modding headfirst when I got my smartphone, and since that day I've flashed, downloaded, backed up, and restored more things than I could count, learned how to swamp myself out of bricks, learned which kernels sucked and which ones didn't, etc...all the typical XDA stuff.
My girlfriend has a Nexus S 4G that she got 2 weeks afterward, and she has absolutely no interested in the development side of the phone, she wouldn't learn what AOSP meant if you paid her a dollar, but she wants her phone to be awesome. I am trying. HOWEVER...I haven't found success flashing a kernel over any custom rom on her phone YET! I have flashed the stable CyanogenMod7.1 as well as assorted nightly builds, MIUI, the one and only sense rom the Nexus can run properly, and that's all went over fine, but every kernel i've attempted flashing thusfar (Trinity, TalonAce, v7 snap kernel, Nexus Netarchy kernel, and a few others) have either stuck me at a splashscreen that wiping the dalvik and cache partition would not fix, or locked me at the initial black screen with the google logo and lock underneath for indescriminate amounts of time...essentially a brick, not a bootloop. This is the first time i've felt I am truly at a point where no amount of research and reading will be able to empower me to help myself so...help a n00b out here?? Am I doing something wrong??
She is currently running a themed MIUI build 110280 with the stock kernel. Anybody run into this problem or one similar yet? I looked and looked for a thread and found nothing..

flash the rom, flash the gapps(if needed), flash the kernel, then boot. be sure its a latest rom build, because most of the kernels are updated to support the latest android versions. also, if it doesnt boot, sometimes pulling the battery for 3 minutes then sticking it back in and booting helps. if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom and gapps, booting, then back into recovery to flash the kernel separately. dont use rom manager, flash in recovery.
Did all of the above before posting this. Trust me if it as something that simple I wouldn't be here lol

have you tried a different rom?
try this kernel, its one of my favorites. and its miui compatable http://morfic.euroskank.com/simka/TEUV-S22-04102011.zip
its underclocked at 880mhz, undervolted for great batter life, and the gpu/bus is overclocked to 220mhz(10%) for performance. this little 880mhz kernel runs like its overclocked to 1.2ghz.

also, flash this dalvik-wiper.zip before flashing the kernel. if you are using clockworkmod recovery, it doesnt completely wipe your dalvik, this will http://goo.gl/lgO1v

Are you guys serious?? Read the OP...
I have tried different roms, yes, several, and different kernels to flash. It's not an issue of performance or anything, just that I can't get the dang kernel on the phone in the first place. The link for the dalvik wiper wont help me either, as, like I've already stated, I am using Amon-Ra

a few things..
first off, you havent stated anywhere that youre using Amon Ra. 2nd, Amon Ra doesnt make a recovery for the nexus s, i know that because hes a friend of mine. next, instead of saying that youve tried it already, try it again, things change. also, you dont have to be rude about it, just trying to help YOU. which leads me to.. see ya, im not going to waste my time and try to help you
Wanna bet? I could take a pic of me in the recovery on Nexus S easily right now.
then post it troll
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Eh, whatever, your posts still weren't helpful in either case...I didn't ask for your rom and kernel preferences, I asked about a hard/software malfunction of some sort. I know what kernel and what rom i'm going for, what I CANT figure out is how to get past this brick wall. Maybe you missed the "impatient" part in the bump, whereas my newness kept my post about the recovery from going through (only 1 per 5 minutes, apparently...didn't even notice). Anyone else that actually went through this problem wanna give it a shot?
@esteway
Never been a troll a day in my life. I've been on xda constantly for the last month seems like, but I've never even been inclinated to join this forum, let alone troll in it. And now the one time I need help no one else either has the problem or knows how to fix it. My recovery makes no difference whatsoever, if I had a modded recovery that isn't either clockwork or amon ra like my cousin has (although I don't know how in the world he got it) my problem still remains. If you can't help me, beat it. You're the one trolling, you weren't even in our conversation.
Youre the one saying u can post the pic so.... prove it. As for your problem I never herd of that issue.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
it could be an amon ra recovery that someone ported or built from source, thats possible. it is open sourced, and most recoveries are based on it. but if it is, id flash another recovery because the one you have would be out of date. since you havent tried that, you should try. both clockwork and twrp recoveries are good.

ANYTHING is possible on these phones if given enough time and attention, and I'd assume anyone who frequents these forums as often as either of you do should know that much, so thank you simms. I've seen a modded or black market version of almost every app i've ever downloaded lol I don't say no to anything being possible in android userspace
Anyway, twrp? I've never heard of that one before. Is it more fully functional than clockwork? I'll be trying it out. I'll try ANYTHING out, I just want this to go away...I feel like the only one who has ever run into this problem
Here's the tread to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196500
It is a bit different than clockworkmod mod but give it a try see if it fixes your problem.

You need to flash a kernel that allows you to change the boot animation. Read the op's for each available kernel.

What an extremely unhelpful and unnecessary reply. Whether you can muster up the understanding or not, people change splash screens on their phones all the time (just check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938988, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/tags.php?tag=splash+screens).

I am interested in changing the slash screen and boot animation.
I would like to change the boot animation of a custom rom I just installed to the ICS one, is there a way to do it without the need of re-installing the rom?
The splash screen is built into the kernel if I recall correctly.
I don't believe there is an easy way to change it. Maybe one of our kernel devs could give some input. I know faux changed the splas screen in his kernel but I do miss the ease of changing it on a whim

Clockworkmod replaced by ext4

Haha I had the same experience. It was ARHD. Totally weirded me out at first, but now I'm glad it happened. 4ext is seriously amazing, especially if you get the paid Recovery Control app to go with it.
Ooooohh, MAN I did not see that in the arhd op, but then again its a frickin novel. Thanks guys. What's so great about it? I don't see squat of a difference from clockwork mod.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I was surprised by this as well. Out of nowhere, my recovery was changed because I installed ARHD. It's not something I would've done intentionally, and it seems like a weird thing to include in a ROM.
I guess it's not a huge deal since it seems to work, but Clockwork Recovery has been around a lot longer and the slightly cleaner interface of this new recovery doesn't IMHO make up for the possible decrease in reliability.
Just so you know, this recovery is based on clockwork recovery and there has been lots if testing before releasing. The developer team is very active in xda as well.

I'm not sure what version comes with the latest ARHD, but you can use the Recovery Updater app to upgrade your recovery to the touchscreen version.
Or if you feel like supporting the dev, you can get the paid Recovery Control, which lets you automate flashes and wipes before the reboot so you never have to navigate another recover menu again.

Most don't NEED to buy the program. Some like I would like to "pay back" the dev for making such a great app for us. Just my .02.
It's only a few bux. Less than starbucks coffee latte.
I had found the same, and honestly was a bit disturbed that it was flashed automatically. I had a wtf moment when I first saw it as I like you have always used cwm since jf 's was replaced in my g1 days and immediately flashed back cwm. After doing some research I am now, and have been for a while on ext4 and haven't had any negative impressions
G1 days? that was all about Amon-Ra recovery! wish he still made them :/, i always used his recoveries, until i got a HTC G2 and only recovery was CWM, and i always had issue with it, till this day the g2 still has Recovery issue,i respect Koush, and his hard work bring his recovery to SO many phones but after flashing 4ext and playing around with it i say i like 4ext better, already has better features, and the paid app is lot cheaper to buy than ROM manager

Lol same thing happened to me.I like the ext4 recovery..the only annoyance I found is that it doesnt mount my SD while in recovery.The option to mount is there,but it doesnt do anything.If they can fix this it will be the best recovery i've ever used.
I use 4ext works great no more using the volume and power button with the touch version seems to restore and back up faster too
wheeeeeellp I'm addicted to ext4. hated it at first, now I'm addicted.

so far no good it flashed but i got stuck on the cyanogen circle..... it may have been my fault for more than one reason
i DID NOT wipe cache, cause i was on magicmod and tried to just upgrade, prob the culprit
recovery locked up on me directly after i opened justinbeanaroma to install inverted g apps, but i didnt reboot first, so could have been that
i installed through cm10 recovery, and there was no recovery after i installed this rom, so i think the data files left from no wipe may have either messed with this cm10 recovery, or this one doesnt have one
i had to rds back to 2.3.6 and just got back to leak 1
im gonna root real quick and install through bootstrap and ill let u guys know whats up
hashcodes name is on this tho, so i think i messed up, and i think this might still work....
edit..... gotta charge up a bit first in case i gotta rds back again lol
hope you will success! waiting for your reply.
ok guys im stupid.... see the "kexec log" at the top? this is for safestrap, explains y theres no recovery and y im stuk on the cyanogen screen again.....

ok folks after a bunch of crap, feeling like a noob for a few hours, then cunsulting with the master of masters mr jimbridgman (next time i think of him or someone smarter than me first.... lol) heres the deal....
these roms are a test so to speak, and as far as i know none of them work, not cause they are faulty, but because kexec is not working properly on our phones, you can install it, you can wipe install and everything else really cool in a custom recovery, but the clincher is, when you try to boot the "safe system" the phone just hangs on a black screen.....
however.....
as a recovery tool only, safestrap isnt bad lol...
so the greatest question of all, can we port some of these to run without safestrap.... ill look into it.... must be possible...

It is possible, if you include kexec and the kernel files in the right location in the ROM that is built from this, then the phone will boot fully, and do a soft reset with the new kernel. I am not too sure that even that will work well. I have not had much luck with kexec in ICS yet. I had it working on GB and even was able to boot my early CM7 builds, but after an update in MAY that stopped working too. So.... good luck.

so.... um.... i kinda got it to boot..... forked the recovery from wangs cm10 and some other files and she lit up.... well it got as far as lighting up the soft keys lol...... im installing gapps now to see it that was the issue, may have forked some files that confused the ol girl, but hey, at least i have recovery lol
edit: ok so this time it made it through "android is upgrading, then it soft booted.... and got stuck at the cyanogenmod splash screen.... im close i can feel it lol
hey daavis, i had sent a mail asking whether this is in fact for the A2.. Got this reply..

My apologies for not having the appropriate threads set up ahead of time. CrackFlasher is still quite new, and the three users that moderate it, all have very busy schedules.
Please find the below threads that deal with your device. And yes, this is for the Atrix 2.
I believe you will need to use SafeStrap developed by Hashcode to flash these Roms, as for we just build them from source, but do not have a valid device to physically test on.
These Roms are development Roms, as in stock [branch] compile from source. Feel free to use these Roms as a base for Custom Rom Development. We would love to see your work, or other's, on CrackFlasher.com.

Thanks again, and feel free to become a member and join the community. It's a slow building one, but we all do have one thing in common. We're all CrackFlashers.
Have a good day.

no, not yet, these build are not ready for users. Someone set these up for auto-builds, that works with hashcode. Hashcode said that they do not work as of yet. I would not use these or even try unless you have some dev experience.

im about to give her another whack, after finally ( fedora 17 doesnt speak well with my video card, ubuntu [eh' i know noob build, but lets face it it runs nice and has tons of documentation] decided it didnt like my wireless card [ ok so it decided to fail installing the firmware and after hours explained to me what was wrong] ) getting my m1330 back together, and running effin wicked fast again, i need to know what files i need to play with to get my little cm build booting....
jim what would you expect was the culprit if she soft boots after building any cache? the log wont show anything through cm recovery, is there a log i can pull through adb or something that will bring a beacon of light to my daavviscm10build dreariness?

Yea, and you have my inverted stuff to help you along. LOL
I want both phoens, just the SGSIII to help me dev for it. Many request from users to do stuff with it..
Oh yes,,,it has saved me the time of inverting it myself! Some of those apps like quick search are a pain in the ass! LOL. I have been out of the themeing game for a while but getting back into it now that schools out for a little bit. I am sure this will be worth the wait, let me know if you need any help!

Wanted to try this theme out so I cleaned installed 5.5.1 and then flashed theme. Now stuck in a bootloop. I must be doing something wrong?
Would this work for new synergy rom or is it only for clean rom.

I am stuck on the "starting Apps" screen. I flashed thru TWRP 2.3.3, everything booted up, it updated all 250 apps, and then got stuck on the next screen.
I went into recovery, re wiped, reflashed and same thing. Eventually restored a nondroid. I really look forward to trying this out.
