[BOOTANIMATION] DukeOS Bootanimation (Duke Nukem Forever) for Samsung Galaxy Tab (7")

Hey guys...
Thanks to despotovski01's thread "How to make your own bootanimation" and a little magic (thanks to the pre-release demo of Duke Nukem Forever), I was able to create something awesome... the DukeOS Bootanimation. You need your tab rooted for that to work!

I may borrow despotovski01's instructions (sorry pal)...

Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone

ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot


it is available in both lo-res (takes less space and loads way faster)
and hi res versions

I hope my dear friends from gearbox software aren't mad at me for that... It is just another promotion for the awesome upcoming Duke Nukem Forever (10th July 2011 International, 14th July 2011 US)!
I don't own any of the rights on the graphics!

[+HOW-TO] Gingerbread for Samsung Galaxy Tab (7") is finally rolling out! (and rooted!)

The long awaited firmware JQ1 is finally rolling out and already available for you to flash!
Just jump to the thread at XDA Developers -> here (thanks to xda's Chainfire!) and download all the tools you need to get the hot stuff :)

It is currently rolling out over Kies starting in Italy (started today) so it could take a while until you get the official update.
It is a GSM Rom (I guess) for the European unbranded Galaxy-Tab (GT-P1000whatever), the branded ones still have to wait for their bloatware-infested versions.
I have already tried it and it works! (use the version WITH the bootloaders... they might be signed, but they are unprotected and work with unsigned kernels!)

I'll try to root it and will report later if it worked!

The instructions for flashing the new Firmware worked for me with Clockwork-Mod Recovery and Overcome ROM and the ext4 filesystem, so you should be safe to go, no matter what you've poisoned your System with :)

EDIT: Rooting worked with CF-Root and Odin -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734 use the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip File to root the tab with Gingerbread!

EDIT: Google Talk+Video works on it, but not flawlessly

HOW TO: Make an iPad that doesn't look like an iPad but Apple might sue you anyway. [Part 2]

Now it's time to ward off some lawyers.

Tools you need:

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab (mine has a slim-case, I never interact with Apple without proper protection)
  • Apple Stickers of the Macbook you don't own anymore
  • a ruler (maybe)


The stuff you need.

Carefully peel the sticker off the carrier-sheet.

Use a ruler to verify that the used fruit is centered.

Apply pressure.
(and don't forget to wash your hands later :-/)

It still doesn't look like an iPad.
It looks a little bit like an old iPhone though. Ewww!

And now: Sue me! (Nah, please don't)
