Whether it’s for performance, battery saving, or just how looks, you want to customize it from top to bottom. It doesn’t seem possible, but it is and that’s why people root. Root…sounds difficult, but its not, it’s different for every device and is usually simple as running a program on your computer, installing an APK, or by connecting your phone to your computer. Once you root and get that little Superuser app, you own the system. You can mess up your phone or make it blue, purple, green, I don’t know! ROMs, kernels, CPU, what is this/what! on a phone?!?! It seems complicated, but it can be broken into a science once you get the hang of it. Once you do, you can call it your Android “phone.”

Here’s what you’re going to need:

• Android SDK with all latest updates
• HTC Sync (for devices running HTC Sense for drivers)
• A computer running windows

This guide is meant for users running Windows, so the instructions may not apply for all of you. This can harm your phone if you don’t follow instructions carefully, so I am not responsible for any damage(s)!

1. Connect your Android device to your computer, it doesn’t matter what you choose, but choose USB drive.

    

   

    

2. Great! Now that it’s connected to your computer, go over to Settings>Applications>Development, and check that “USB Debugging” box.

    

   

    

2b. Now remember, with that setting on, anything that goes through your phone won’t warn you, so this can be bad and be used maliciously. I warned you!

1. On your computer, download a custom boot animation (it might come with audio), and make sure there are two files: background.zip (animation) and android_audio.mp3 (optional, audio). Drag those files (Do NOT unzip background.zip) onto the tools folder of your SDK (…/tools).

    

   

    

2. Good, good… now, here comes the tricky part, make no mistake and make sure your background works. Open up command prompt (Start>Run “cmd” or on the tools folder, hold shift and right-click, then choose open Command Prompt window here) and type in the following codes:

    

   cd [location of sdk]\tools

   (note: where it says “[location of sdk]” it’s where the SDK is, e.g. “C:\android-sdk-windows\tools”)

    

   adb devices

   (check to see if your device is there)

    

   adb push background.zip /data/local

    

   adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

   (if you have audio on the background)

    

   adb shell reboot

   (reboots the phone)

    

Picture :D

1. Congratulations, you have changed your boot animation, remember to disable USB Debugging!

   Look at the Before and Afters below:

Thanks for reading!

As many of us know, the Droid Incredible, or HTC Incredible has an 8-megapixle camera.
Today, I will be posting about it’s still image quality.
So here are some of the sample pictures, hope you won’t get hungry :)
