i have some file bootanimation.zip. but i do'nt know how to use with this rom.

Using Root Explorer go to System/media.
Then after turning on Read/Write in Root Explorer replace the current ZIP with your choice. Set the permission rw-r-r and reboot.
Sometimes you need to name it sanim.zip instead of bootanimation.zip

That's how I changed mine in zeus. Of course you need to fix permissions, that's assumed in the process.

You also have to rename it sanim.zip per Dman.

And yet my bootanimation went back to stock after a week of using Zeus. I ended up having to manually rename the sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip to get the custom boot animation back. Bottomline, search and try to do things yourself before posting a topic. A boot animation is simple, so the flashing should be harmless to your phone if you have a general idea of what you are doing.

[Q] Boot animations

Can anybody direct my to a good thread on how to use jrummy's boot animation app? Or a good thread on changing boot animations period? Thanks everyone.

Changing boot animations is easy
1) Get a root explorer app (es file explorer is free and you can enable root under settings)
2) download boot animation
3) paste it in /system/media using the root explorer
4) make sure the name matches the previous one
5) make sure the permissions are rw, r, r
6) reboot and enjoy

Thanks much. So there isn't an app that will do this?

So in step 4 do I make sure it has the exact same name as the previous or just the same suffix? And how do I change permissions on it?

trey...you have to read the advice given.
read mg's instruction again.
review this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437548
there is a lot of info there...may need to read it several times

I've read and applied all the steps as written but still am just getting the Samsung then nothing where the at&t bootanim used to be..
Be Real or Don't Be

Permissions are typically RW,R,R aka Read Write, Read, Read
most ROMs have the animation named as bootanimation.zip, but some are sanim.zip
Also...many people have difficulty changing animations on rooted stock...I suspect it has something to do with the kernel
Lastly...idk about any apps that can change the boot animation for you...but they probably do exist...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Mg.. You are correct. The stock kernel does not run the service that plays these boot animations.

[Stock] International Note 3 Bootanimation

Hi guys I have tried to get the stock international note 3 bootanimation along with the stock boot animation sound of the international note 3. I have tried on mine and it works ok. Remember to make a backup copy of the files you will replace in case you something happen or you dont want it.
Directions
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, bootsamsungmini.qmg, bootsamsungminiloop.qmg on system/media folder ( Make sure you correct the permission)
3. Copy the PowerOn.ogg on system/media/audio/ui (Make sure the permission is correct)
4. Reboot and no more At&t Crap bootanimation
UPDATE: Added shutdown animation of stock international
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the shutdown.qmg to system/media folder Make sure the permission is correct (now on at&t just removed the shutdownloop.qmg not sure if that file is present on t-mo but you can remove it or just transfer it to your sd card)
3. Reboot and you wont have the loop circle animation when you shutdown your device

Thank you sinichi21! Works perfectly. Finally rid of the last att crapware on my Straight Talk device.

I don't have T-mo but I added on the op the shutdown animation of stock international you can try it and see

Verified that this does not trip Knox!
Thank you sir! I was trying to get rid of the AT&T boot animation before through Rom Toolbox but it just made my lockscreen flash on/off. This is a cleaner solution.
I opted to not use the sound file, but renamed the stock one to PowerOn.bak and now I have a silent boot.
Thanks!

Yes it sure does if you install the shut down portion mentioned in the OP, works like a charm. Thanks a lot for this!!!!

This worked great. Thanks!!

Works great on my Verizon Note 3. The stock bootanimation was bright enough to sear retinas and induce seizures. Thanks for sharing this

Long press the .apk you just pasted and select PERMISSIONS and make sure you change permissions to match the original such as rw-r--r-- in this case. Make sure you do this for each .apk you paste so it matches permissions for the apk you are replacing.

wow it works awesome.. I just tried it on my bro's note 3.. thank u very much...

Wow thanks for the post, always thought this would be a little trickier. Don't know why people risk flashing "unknown" .zips to try and do this when all you gotta do is move a few files around but I digress. Thanks again for telling us the correct files, and for the ones you gave us it works perfect :thumbup:

As a quick side note, for anyone wanting to ditch boot sounds, the 'poweron.ogg' file can be renamed to 'nopoweron.ogg' or even removed to avoid boot sounds with any animation

[MOD] Volume boost for s4 with Kitkat 4.4.2

old Volume boost by boterkaaseneieren mods is locked and doesn't work on kitkat so i had a look at the new soundfiles and i created new sound boost mod.
Howto ?
1 easy way :
----------------
- download & extract sound mod of your choice to your phone
- Open a filebrowser that supports root
- Go to \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\
- IMPORTANT : copy to a safe place or rename snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 before replacing with the modded file so you can restore if my default settings file don't work for you. If there exist no such file, then this mod is not for your phone
- Set permissions to rw-r-r-
- Reboot.
You now should have louder volume
2 Do it yourself way
-------------------------
i will explain for speaker, all the rest goes the same way
1 Copy snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 from the directory system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ to your pc and open it with notepad++
2 search for 'speaker' (it is somewhere in the middle of the file) and after that look a little lower for 'digital volume' -> it will probably be somewhere around 65% by default
3 Change from (+/-) 65 to 70-75% depending on your wish to have louder or super loud speakers (don't go over 75% as it is very loud and might break your speaker !)
It is the same way for every sound option, search for the digital volume for the option you want to change (these parameters are all somewhere in the middle of the file) and change from 70 up to 75%
4 Once you have saved you must copy these files back to your phone and set permissions to rw-r-r (easy done in root explorer) and reboot to see if it worked.
Don't put at maximum volume with the Super Soundboost if your music is recorded loud allready, you and only you are responsible for your ears and device so use with caution
​
Let us know if it works on your device also (Kitkat only !)
Credits go to eheinzeiii for showing me what to look for in the soundfiles.
This post was created to make speaker louder
Post 4 has updated files for people who want Everything (except bluetooth) louder
FOR PEOPLE WITH i9506 try this : POST 51
FOR people who can't get louder volume with any off my mods please try this : Post 57

When i flashed the old Volume boost by boterkaaseneieren mods on my kitkat rom it resulted in having no sound while making a call so i had a look at the new soundfiles and i created some new files.

- Open a filebrowser that supports root
- Go to \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\
- Rename or (copy to a safe place) snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 and replace with the soundmod of your choice.
- Set permissions to rw-r-r-

If all goes well you should have louder volume, both in speaker and in earpiece.
Tested on my Samsung Galaxy s4 GT i9505 Probam 1.2 kitkat 4.4.2
Please Test this & let us know if it works on your device so i can update op with more working devices

Using this with omni rom, seems to be doing the trick whereas flashing the old zips crippled Google voice search and sound search.

Changelog :
added sound boost for remaining channels such as VOIP & earphones.
Bluetooth i cannot find how to make louder

Thanks for the update, I've replaced the original file aswell as updating the nightly on omni rom. Works fine for me, but I've only been able to test it on music through the speaker and a phone call through the earpiece and also speaker.
All seems to be working and nice and loud. Btw I'm using the medium loudness file, loud enough for me.

Can you or someone else test it and share toughts because i have no i9500.
If you make sure that you rename the original file to .bak in the end before replacing it with the new file there will be no problem to rename it again and revert to your original files if something goes wrong and you get no more sound. Other then that make sure you follow the other guidelines also about setting permissions and reboot after every replacement
