No, you must have access to the Media folder, and the only way to do that, is to root, so you will have access to the System folders.
What stock ICS intro are you talking about? I'd like to see... You got a YouTube link or something? Not all stock ICS intros are the same, as different manufacturers use different ones, so I'm curious as to which one you're talking about.

He has a 3.2.x, but wants to use a bootanimation.zip from some ICS rom. But to use it, in any device, he will have to have root access. Hope it's not a bootanimation from a phone, should be interesting
No you don't need root access. You can use ADB to push it to /data/local

This one. Looks nice on my my touch4g with creamed glacier rom.
Just a example. Of course we need something in the higher resolution.
Maybe people can reply with some links or suggestions here. I am sure I am not the only one interested.

Sort of the long way around. But if you post all the steps and prerequisites, I'm sure he'd appreciate it
Eventually, he'll root. They always do
yeah all my android devices are rooted. I am pretty good at following instructions and using adb. I just have no need for it as this device uses a pretty vanilla version of android -which I am happy about.

This is true.
Though I avoided rooting for a while and when I made my bootanimations [in my sig] I was doing the adb routine which is definitely more involved than rooting. Well, more involved than rooting GB/HC 3.1 anyways... *nudge nudge*

I know what you mean. Problem is, it's been 2 yrs since I used adb on my Desire.... and I'm ashamed to say... I forgot how to use it!!!
Nifty little tool, is JRummys toolbox. You can copy about 50 bootanimation.zips and swap them at will. Of course you need root, but hey....
Probably some other apps that do the same thing.
For me, I only re-boot my tab, when I test a rom. So boot ani's are sort of not needed. No offense Gamma
Those are some nice animations. I will probably use one of them.
Maybe I will root if someone comes out with a ice cream sandwich rom

Well, there is 1. 90 percent working. It's an ASOP build, which means, it doesn't have 500/501 specific drivers for it. (camera doesn't work, nor 3g for 501).
I have a 501, and I use skype for business. So I need cameras and 3g.
Yeah the camera drivers seem to be the problems. I was running the creamed glacier rom on my mytouch an issue with poweramp (my favorite music player) and went back to cyanogenmod .
Off topic sorry... how do you move the cursor while typing with no directional pad or cursor keys on a tablet? It is difficult to get it just where you need it!
The cyanogenmod team said due to the camera drivers most likely there will not be a fully working cyanogenmod 9 rom out for any phones until the carriers release their updates for the phones. : (
As far as using adb..
I found a windows program that i use from time to time.. QTadb .. LOOK it up.. IT HAS Some of the built in adb commands with some drag and drop features..
There is also another one i forget the name that is even more..
do a net search FOR GUI ADB Windows program .. or something similar.. Its like buttons for dos.. 20 years ago... Call me a Cheater if you like But remember im Blonde...

Just wondering if anyone had tried porting it or anything like that. That would be neat.
Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it works out for you...
I'll try and fiddle around with it.
There was a thread about it and someone was working it, but its under all these topics. Would be nice to have though.

I don't think any true "porting" would be necessary. If we were to push/pull the right apks/libs, it would probably fire right up. They have a system dump of the Motorola Enzo in the general Android development forums that I was looking at last night... the system/app directory seemed to contain multiple apks related to the blur interface...
I didn't look to far into it... unsure if it'll run on 2.1 currently. I'd rather work on porting Windows Mobile Classic.
I attempted and got it booting, but didn't have time to fix the issues.
Once we get FriendStream I think blur is useless.

Maybe, but FriendStream honestly kinda sucks compared to MotoBlur in my opinion. Not as feature rich.
do they even have motoblur yet running on anything 2.1? Don't think the droid has it...
If you are going to try. Go download s_blur on the G1 forums, it would give you a good starting base, then take it appart pull its kernel out, put our kernel in.
I had to stop when I was having issues with my linux liveCD and using CPIO. Can't unpack/repack the files with out that. and for some reason it just wouldn't work for me. I was going to try again one day because it would be cool.
But anyways:
Once you get our kernel in it, it will boot. but just about everything force closes.
Where do you get FriendStream?

?, I haven't found it to be anymore feature packed (From what I tried on the Moto Backflip), FS is more compacted whereas MB is split (widget wise).
I think its better split up cause if you follow a lot of people its hard to manage that with FriendStream, I dont know.
if it was possible to port onto the HTC Touch then its possible for our phone it just requires a dev with the knowhow and the demand for such a rom. lets be honest as much as our devs love to tweak their phones they also need some love in the form of donations because this work isnt easy. I was building my own roms for my Touch before the Hero came along and it was tedious work. That said if its ever done I will try this out as I just bought my girl a Moto Cliq and she seems to LOVE it. I honestly tho will never buy another phone that isnt made by HTC
I was fiddling around with this too. I got it to boot and connect to Sprint.... but that's all I got it to do.

You act like that's a bad thing. I know nothing about building roms, but a start is a start. Anyhow, a blur rom would be awesome to have. I personally like the look of motoblur.
I had this running on the touch vogue when it first came out. It's ok but sense is way better for me and really don't do the social networking thing. Now if it had anti-social networking I'd be using it right now.

he says that its still worked off a temp root, so we still need to find a perm root for it to be on there over a reboot
Did you see how fast that was running? I mean I don't know what it is bout the G2, but the thing flies. I really like the move of this. Hope to see more, and that's only with temp root for now.

What I'm doing is bringing in all the necessary modifications to *userspace* to build from source and support all the hardware. This is not simply pushing files around. There are a lot of changes for 7x30 required since much of the audio and video output works completely different than what we (and AOSP partially) currently support.
It's not a step forward towards a real root, but a step forward towards having something you can build from scratch and do whatever you'd like with.
Because of cyanogen's work, when the real root happens we will have his amazing rom to use =D

I think that summed it up! Oh and great work Cyanogen
May not be progress towards root, but it's progress towards having a stable rom as soon as a permanent root is available.
Keep up the good work Cyanogen.
They just hate the fact they have nothing to contribute to "forward movement" whay cyan is doing is far more productive than "why I don't has root yet"....
I have nothing "real" to contribute besides my gratitude and as soon as the "code guru's" who make these phones so much fun do crack the root issue I will buy my G2....

Two things...
Why are the new gingerbread ROMs (OMGB and Evervolv) themed and modified to hell and back? Why can't someone just import things (one by one) to build a stock vanilla gingerbread ROM, and then work from there? I don't want anything altered from the basic vanilla ROM but here we are, dealing with all these customizations and different themes already applied and apps thrown onto there (other than the basics like SU). I don't want any music app on my phone so WHY FORCE ME TO HAVE ONE? I don't want to only have to choose between 2 ROMs to enjoy gingerbread this early. This ultimately leads me having to alter things to GET IT BACK TO A VANILLA ROM.
Also, why must all themes have to be rainbow-eccentric and have no "flowing" colors? Most of the themes are just an eye-sore and make me think the "designer" is colorblind and leaves me to theming everything myself. No, the app doesn't look good if it has a STRONG RED next to a DEEP BLACK, with STRONG BLUE somewhere mixed in.
so, if you dont like whats being offered by the devs, step up and make your own ROM's. if you read through the threads, most users do like what is being offered and that is why they are so popular. personally i cant stand the vanilla android experiance and am currently rocking Nils Biz-sence rom...

ROM developing
step 1 - get a computer
step 2 - learn to spell "definitely"
step 3 - learn to program in java
step 4 - learn to use linux
step 5 - learn extensible markups and the android os
step 6 - cook a rom
step 7 - post it on xda and ask for donations for step 8

Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

It really depends what you want, doesn't it?
If you want something stable where everything works, you're not going to flash ICS on it, are you? Me, I wanted to play around with something that I knew was still in the alpha/beta stages of development, so I took the plunge. I find that the 02_09_Hashcode build on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895 does all that I need it to at the moment, so I'm happy with it. If you follow that thread, though, you will find people that don't like it, people that want HW video acceleration, people that won't run it until it runs netflix... etc. It all depends on your desires/needs.
Sure, I'd like to be able to have the original reader on it - the margins on the reader app are so big a single sentence spans multiple pages. But if that was too much of a bother, I'd go back to stock wouldn't I?

CM7 SoS. Solid as a rock. HW accel works, hd video, and ad hoc wifi works. Good sh*t. With ICS theme, ADW EX, and the removal of a few unnecessary APKs, it's BY FAR the best out right now.

CM7 SoS. Solid as a rock. HW accel works, hd video, and ad hoc wifi works. Good sh*t. With ICS theme, ADW EX, and the removal of a few unnecessary APKs, it's BY FAR the best out right now.

Hi, what version of Android does this ROM show up as? There are some apps that I want to run that require 3.0+.

KindleFireUtility is pretty easy to deal with if you're not comfortable running adb shell commands. It will install the most recent version of BurritoRoot and TWRP and does many other things as well. Just be sure to read the instructions in the thread well or you may end up posting one of the many "bricked my KF while trying to install TWRP with KFU" threads you'll see around here

The best way is to use KIndle Fire Utility, which can be found here

It depends on what do you expecting from your ROM.
CM9 builds are more polished and tablet looking than other, but don't have video HW acceleration support and netfix.
CM7 builds are bit more laggy (if we are talking about UI animations) but you can play videos from webpages.
Barebones are looking similiar to ICS UI, and is very fast but you have to install everything on it (it's just naked system).
I didn't using MIUI/Kand ROMS so cant tell anything about them
Cm7 sos I got flash to work =p

CM7 SoS is what I keep coming back to. I've tried a little bit of everything. As a side note, I love the KF subforum, bunch of great people.

Got to have my Netflix account up and working. CM7 SoS is just great. Still, I can't wait for CM9 to get video working. I understand they're almost there.
For me, the MoDaCo rom is the perfect fit. You get the "stock" experience- probably the best app compatibility you're going to find. In addition, you have several tweaks and the Market preinstalled.
Having been around the block a few times on other tablets and Android phones, I love the bleeding edge ROMs. But if a device is your daily driver, stability and compatibility are important. The MoDaCo rom gives that.
Now, give ICS a few more months, and it may be a different story.
Everything everyone said about the ROMs here is correct and good advice.
I'd just add if I was starting out with CM7, I'd try the barebones version. That wasn't yet out when I installed it and I had to uninstall all the unneeded apps manually. If I were to start now, I'd use barebones, for sure.
Otherwise they are the same.
CM7 is very good. You will like it, I bet.

Similar experience here. I was on CM7 sos, then tried ICS. In the interim, Barebones came out, so I rolled with that.
I prefer what I'm used to with Android, so CM7 is a good fit for me.
Someone did mention that the UI was slightly laggy, but I've had a better experience with CM7 using Raven's kernal than I did with ICS with whatever kernel came with it.
