[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?

Generally by pressing and holding on the file and selecting permissions but it depends on what app your using

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...

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

you can prolly overwrite one of his boot ani with your and just flash yours.

You guys are once again life savers. Appreciate all the help.

Changing CM10.1 bootanimation

Hello guys,
I want to change the Andromadus CM10.1 (build 12) bootanimation with the R2D2 bootanimation in this link (http://androidbootanimation.com/category/800x480-boot-animations/page/2/)
I have renominated the stock bootanimation.zip in bootanimation_old.zip and copied the one from the site in /system/media and renominated bootanimation.zip
Although it seems I have done something wrong because when i reboot the phone I get stock "Android" bootanimation in boot. I have read many threads but it seems that apart from sense rom, the procedure is just the same.
Is there anyone that can help sort it out?
Thank you

Use a file explorer (such as ES) select the file's "Properties" and change the Permissions to RW-R-R
Swyped on a JellyBam'd, Hotcakez infused, everything's bigger in TX SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 via xda premium

Some bootanimations work for me, and some dont, is it the file problem or what? Both are the same animation, one has the loop section, and I zipped 'em with winrar with store mode, why the loop one doesnt work? I have changed the txt

[BOOTANIMATION] Animus BootScreen

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to this forum (well posting ofc). So if I did anything wrong please instead of giving insulting replies which will teach me nothing, just PM or remind me here. I'll appreciate it.
After I got my GNote and flashed AmniX's Custom Rom, I wanted something else as bootanimation.
Since i'm a major AC Fan, I have decided to port the bootscreen I've used from my Animus PC Interface and put it here.
Screenshot IS Located at the Attachments
This bootanimation will work with any kernal that supports it.
But this will NOT work with ROMs that uses .qmg file as their bootanimation instead of a .zip file. (eg. Stock ROM)
WARNING - DO NOT FLASH THIS IN RECOVERY
Steps in installing:
1. Download the zip file,
2. Copy the zip file into your internal storage of your phone or the external SD card.
3. Using a root explorer or browser, navigate to system/media
4. Make a backup of your bootanimation.zip located in there (Just InCase it does not work for you) and remove it from the system/media folder. - IMPORTANT
5. Copy the bootanimation.zip that you have downloaded into system/media
6. After you have copied the zip file into system/media, change the permission of the zip file to rw-r--r-- (thanks projeto56 for mentioning)
7. Reboot and enjoy your new bootscreen.
Just a heads up, IF the bootscreen did not work, you will have a BLACK SCREEN during bootup, its nothing and it will still be running, just without an animation displaying there.
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE. READ THE INSTRUSTION CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING IT.

Nice one
You should also mention about the permissions of the bootanimation file. They should be rw-r--r--

Hey awesome work
Just wondering what about the boot up sound ?
Is it not present ?
Or is it just my issue ?
Note n7000 - Carbon ROM v1.8
I think it has a cm kernel by default being a AOSP ROM

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

There were no boot sound since I don't know what to put there, so its not just you, I guess its everyone
Thanks for the credits. I appreciate it
Also the speed is the same (its around the speed of the gif file), if you want it slower I will need to redo the entire bootanimation again.

Nope, i like it... Was just curious that's all :thumbup::thumbup:
Good job
Btw the abstergo spelling is misspelled
In the animation text shows absterbo :what:

[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.
Howto ?
- download & extract sound mod to your phone
- 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-
- Reboot.
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

works great with speaker and in-call volume on jamal2367's Google Edition RC2 rom. thanks

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

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
