[Q] Boot Animation

Okay, so I have been able to get a bootanimation.zip that i want. I placed it in /data/local... I reboot and it still shows the old swirling Samsung logo...But it does play my custom boot sound (awesome)... I haven't really seen any SGS4G specific threads...and the ones to other phones kind of run me in circles. Not looking for a hand out, just a heading...any idea? Something im PROBABLY missing...
Oh and i gave the bootanimation.zip god privileges...not sure if it matters
Running on 2.3.5 KI3 from Octiane V2.0 (awesome ROM BTW)

at the moment our gingerbread kernels do not support custom boot animations. I'm sure once we have a source to work with, will have full support.

OK first try with this app. I rooted my girls stock gingerbread droidx (if u need help rooting it stock gb droid x u can email me.)then u can download root toolbox and they have a section for boot animation, select one u like and install it. with this app u can even change splash screen and battery icon but for icon u will need pro version. u can just go to ipmart and download it for gree. anyways..... if this does not work u will have to do it manually which may seem scary but its quite simple. first get the bootanimation.zip u want and rename it(if u r with verizon) VZW_bootanimation.zip then download super explorer and then go to ur phones internal system /custom/reasourses and first want to go to that location and copy past the original bootanimation of phone and save to soundcard incase u want to change back to it in system/customize/reasourses and delete ,it will be names VZW_bootanimation.zip. now the custom animation can be added. go copy the custom animation go back to system/customize/reasourses and paste new animation a boom it will work I promise. note if for some reason when u restart phone and no animation is there dont worry nothing is broken the animation isn't allay compatible so just find another on and follow all the steps again minus saving the boot u had added u can just delete it.. now what I desperetly need help with is adding custom sound. I have tried many different thing with no results but negative. ive tried deleting the old sound file and renamwd new sound as old one and placed in system/customize/reasourses no sound , I even went into system/customize/cd/default.xml and changes the writing that tells the system when to play music to autostart="part0" /> no go ,="part1" /> no go. neither worked. I even unzipped the bootanimation.zip and renamed the folder VZW and changed back autostart="VZW" ect which was the original setting and no go. ive tried renaming file and placing it in system/media and pasteing no go, ive tried copying file and pasteing it in system/meadia/notification like some direction have said and no go. im at a lose of what to do. I have a thunderbolt running stock gb and want to customize the sound for bootanimation so if anyone can help please email me [email protected]. thanku and I await ur response

Considering this is for the Samsung galaxy s 4g, you technically are in the wrong forum. Our phones use a qmg file for animations as far.as I know, so bootanimations.zip will not work, I've already tried the method you posted, without success.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

there's a few custom ones in the theme section. You just have to push all the files manually.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

then its quite simple just rename ur new bootanimation exactally as ur old one a boom there u go. its not that difficult and if that doesnt work try something simple and download romtoolbox and install if from therr. if it works on the droid x it should that one

also u probably not only have to name it correctly u may have to try androidzip and change it to that kind of file type if not that do so on ur computer. were Theres a will Theres a way. also make sure ur permissions r correct

I will try that. If the qmg file is truly a zip file with its own custom file extension, then it should work, if its not, then it will display nothing. I'll back up just in case, but I was told by a developer on this phone (I believe raver), that it wasn't supported by the kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Let me know if that works, i'm out for a few days...I'll try when I get home. However, the second response to my post was that it's unsupported... But if there is a work around, that would be sweet.

hey rabid panda how did u get your custom boot sound to work thats what i am trying to do with mine but it doesnt play.

it's pretty easy, just take the wave file that you want to use and move it to /etc. rename it poweron.wav and reboot...all Done
you might want to make sure the permissions are set...I just checked all of mine.

Rename your wavfile to PowerOn.wav and push to system/etc
Make sure you name it exactly PowerOn.wav, matching the upper case P and O is necessary to make it work.
Edit:Got beat to the punch by a Rabid Panda lol

thats the problem im having i did that but no sound when i turn it off the shutoff sound works did i do something wrong

Sniper
try a smaller lower quality sound file... mine are no more than 16hz

You could just download a rom that has it and extract the zip file. Pull the apk from system\app or whatever the directory is and find the right apk, then transfer over to your phone. Not sure if it will work tbh, but won't hurt anything to try.

This works, I added weapon's email.apk to bionix this way.

Awesome, got it to work. I used EB's music since it is from gingerbread. The ICS music player crashes constantly on ICS roms, pretty sure it works well on stock ICS phones...but not phones flashed with ICS.
Anyway, i disabled the music player included with the Hellfire ROM, so it doesnt show up in the app drawer any longer, also did this with other unnecessary items that i dont use...how do i enable them again if i ever want to? When looking for the apps i just disabled, i cant find them anywhere in the Manage Apps list or anywhere else.

Why didn't you just download the GB music app from the market. The one in the EB rom is not the newest player. Just do a google music search and it comes right up.

Well, if you looked at my previous post, the newest ICS player (with the headphones icon), doesn't run well on my phone.
It's a glitch with the ICS roms.
I'll give this one a shot, though.

Deleted: Sorry I read your original post wrong. I didn't realize you were running HellFire ICS and not GB. Sorry about that

its fine, I still need to find out how to enable things i disabled!! I got rid of the stock Browser, Voice Dailing, and something else i dont know.
I dont NEED those things, but i want to know how to bring them back.

[Q] Stock Skyrocket Calendar and Clock app

I recently just flashed my first rom on my phone and I love it. The only thing I dont like is that its pretty much stock ICS. Problem being I don't like the calendar app and the clock app, the touchwiz version was much better IMO. I have an unzipped version of the stock rom but I can't even find the two in there to extract. I need some help.. :\

Anyone?

Use root explorer and look in the stock .zip system/app for twcalendar.apk, twcalendarwidget.apk and such. Copy and paste to your current system/app (change mount o to w first) and fix permissions after. I'm not sure exactly what else you may need but bear in mind that touchwiz widgets will only work on touchwiz. Make a nandroid backup first because I just gave you some shoddy-ass instructions.

Unzip the file then copy it out of system/app.

Ya, like Hechoen said, unzip the /data/app/semcmusic.apk and copy it to /system/app of other roms...
BTW, Ringer doesn't work yet so, don't ask me on this more, I'll take a look on it at the weekend

Normally you can clear the cache for the play store in manage apps and it will fix that error.

Watch a youtube video showing the S-Memo on the GS3. It's wicked. If I can find it somewhere, I'll see if I can get it to work on this rom.

Hi
Why did you base RemICS on CM9 and not on Erikmm's Nexus S ROM?
Erik's ROM should be pure Sammy ROM and S-voice must work there much better with all Sammy stuff.
Just asking/suggesting, not trolling.

Looking for blackbean themed keyboard - any help?

I like the black keyboard in blackbean. Is there a way to make my keyboard black like that? or could someone post the keyboard from blackbean so I could install it on my s3.

all you have to do is drop the LatinIME.apk in your system\app folder....replace it, fix its permission then reboot...after you try to use the keyboard, it will pull up the voice keyboard...close it then do it again and you should see your blackbean keyboard....i use it with whatever ROM im running at any given time
