Is there an app available that will take a given bootanimation.zip file and preview it on the phone?
Edit: Never mind, it's on the market. Not sure how I missed that.

I just installed the incognito theme and love it but was wondering how to switch the font back to stock. Is there an easy way to do this?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm also intrested in changing up a few fonts? And font colors too. I've browsed around most of the apk files to see if anything stands out to me but no luck... Mostly .png image files. Which ive successfully modified. But can't seem to find straight forward answers floating around for fonts in the any of the forums.
Any help pointing to the right files locations??
Why would you want to go back to the old font
If you wanna do that, the best way is to repackage the Incognito zip file with the fonts you wanna use. You can do that by:
1 Extract the files in the .zip file to some location on your computer (there should be 2 folders and a file, I think).
2 From your extracted files, go to the font folder located inside the system folder
3 Replace the fonts in that folder with any fonts you want (in your case, you'll have to download the stock fonts from somewhere) and make sure that the fonts are renamed to match the ones before
4 Once that's done, repackage the files/folders as a .zip file by jumping back out to the location of where you originally extracted the files, selecting all 3 files/folders(ctrl+ click each one), right click and "send to compressed folder (zip)".
5 Put that file on your sd card and install it the same way you installed the theme the first time.

Hello,
I know that bootanimtions are just uncompressed zips containing the images that make up the animation, but I recently found this http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1100&news_id=944. In it, in /system/media, there is a file called "bootanim480p.3gp" and "bootanim.3gp". There is also a file "BootAnimation.apk" in /system/app. I was wondering if this update might hold the key to using movies for bootanimation. It is beyond my skills and was hoping someone more experienced could take a look.
Thanks,

Hey, I just discovered a way to get a theme's default wallpaper without asking for it to the developer, I'm sorry if this is obvious for you and this thread is completely unnecessary, but I think it's an interesting point to look at
Ok, let's go
- First, open the zip of the theme with winrar or something similar
- Without unzipping, go to system>framework and unzip only framework-res.apk
- Now, again, open the apk extracted with winrar
- Look for res>drawable-hdpi and there you will find the default_wallpaper.jpg
Unzip that, put it in your phone and enjoy
NOTE:If you don't find in that folder the wallpaper you wanted, you can also look for it in another folder in res called "drawable". Look again for default_wallpaper.jpg
Hi, thanks for this useful post. I know this is an old one but i didn't want to open a new topic.
I want to get the other stock wallpapers of i9003 itself has. (For example, the green one). What should i do? I found only one wallpaper in that directory, not all of them.

Use a root file browser in your phone,
Go to system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk
View the files, go to res/drawable-hdpi
All the stock wallpapers are in there. Extract the wallpaper you like.
I used root browser.
Edit: if you're not rooted, you can use astro file browser. It can copy from system without root.

If only I knew it earlier. Thanks for this usefull post, now I know.
So, I'm trying to grab some images from an APK, and I renamed it to a .zip file and accessed its contents. In the 'assets' folder there is only the splash screen and a file named "game.droid", 2.5 mb. Seems like it was made with "YoYoGames Studio" or something. Is there any way to get the images? This is an abandoned APK that was taken down the app store and the dev seems to have abandoned it.
Hey guyzz
Can anyone decompile apk for me because I'm not a developer , so I don't know how to decompile
Can anyone help me ???:what::what:
Hello There.
Found a Bootanimation thread on the S6 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/mod-enable-zip-bootanimation-aroma-boot-t3205320
I was wondering if its possible to use that same zip to get rid of the qmg file extension and be able to just start making and using standard android zip boot animation files.
Any dev interested on looking at the "source" to see how it´s made? What to "mod" in our S7? Something to flash, or just a line to change on the config files.
According to my knowledge and experience, you need to change bootanimation file in system/bin

You are close... here is the thing:
You can have custom boot animations on your galaxy, just with root access and changing the right bootanimation files that are inside system/media.
The thing is that those files, if we are on Samsung devices, have the extension qmg (bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg).
All the other android phones have a file called bootanimation.zip
The difference lies in the type of file. In order to make a qmg file you need to do a lot of tricks with an outdated samsung application, that converts jpgs into compressed qmg files.
On the other hand, if you want to make a standard android boot animation zip, you can just use the images and zip´em (there´s a little more than that) or you can use any gif to convert it to a bootanimation.zip file with online free conversion tools.
You can even use youtube videos to convert them into hight quality gif and then use a gif to bootanimation converter to get your file.
That´s the deal.
Now, the trick is how to make samsung to "read" the original bootanimation.zip files instead of the propietary qmg file.

No, you still dont understand.
To make samsung read bootanimation zip, you need to change bootanimation in system/bin
Bootanimation file in system/bin is diffrent with the system/media

Ah... Now I see what you mean.
The system/bin/bootanimation file has some lines (some unreadable but some that you can actually read) if you open it like a text file, that have some references to the boot animation file.
There are a few interesting lines:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootvideomain.mp4
So guess what you pointed out!
You can use any mp4 video as a boot animation video... just copy the mp4 video to your system/media, and name it "bootvideomain.mp4". Then rename bootsamsung.qmg to something like bootsamsung.qmg.old.
Be sure that the permissions on the mp4 are "rw - r - r."
I have just tested it with really ugly results, but it worked (video should be made on portrait. I placed a "landcape video from whatsapp, so it was compressed to 8mb and unfortunatelly, sideways".
Gonna mess around more to see...
So at the momment, I haven´t changed any file. Just playing with the bootsamsung.qmg and placing a bootvideomain.mp4 on the system/media folder.
It seems it takes a little longer to boot, and the video only plays for about 5 seconds...
Using the same system/bin/bootanimation file.
I´m not a programmer, but it seems like there´s a list of what kind of animation should the
