Hey everyone. The old flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip that worked with 4.4.2 no longer
works with 4.4.4. Just shows a blank screen.
I've been unable to find a working confirmed flashable that can renable boot animation zip functionality
for 4.4.4 and above. Does anyone have any idea how i can modify the old mod or know of a already existing fix?

You could try the bootanimation fix I posted for android L, but backup first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57221888&postcount=115
Probably worse case scenario is this will kill your bootanimations but its worth a try.
Only flash the 5.0 bootanimation file from the bottom of the post.

For those who might like to revert to the original/stock boot animation on their Samsung Galaxy Tab, here is a flashable zip patch
Quite straightforward...
Copy the zip file to your device
Boot into CWM Recovery
Install zip from wherever you placed it
Reboot
The patch has been repaired and now has no known side effects so flash away if you prefer to stock boot animation
Thanks to alterbridge86 for the hard work

File updated.
Please check and let us know
Nope still black screen. Problem is prolly in my tab. Something got messed up maybe?
EDIT pushing the bootanimation the thread i posted gives me android animation and no problem. Flashable zip gives me blackscreen after samsung splash. Is it cause i removed the previous bootanimation?
To add. I tested after another fresh flash of overcome.
Updated
The file in the first post has been updated.
It now works without the blank screen
Thanks to alterbridge86 for his help
Thank you and alterbridge86 for the great work.
Thx MK and Alterbridge86 to.
Stock in the beginning and stock at the end.
In between runs the great Overcome...
Haha... Great indeed!

Maybe it is coincidence but after flashing the bootscreen via CWM my wifi stop working.
It stays at waiting for ip-adress and all my apps which needs root access could'nt get root access any more.
While Superuser has granted them the access.
btw i did also wipe my cache.
Just to play with my luck i flashed the 1.6.4 update file.
After flashing the updater Wifi works again and all my superuser works again also.
@ MK
I will report my finding on converting the notification sounds to you this evening.
To be sure i restocked and flashed the restock-bootscreen again.
Same thing happens as written above.
Yes I can report the same. I did a fresh flash though after to get things working. Guess its weird samsung engineering like camera app related to the email lol.

Yes a few of us are having the Wifi problem...
Not sure if it's related to flashing the bootanimation but it is being studied to death as we speak
I dunno if its bootanimation. Adb push like you described when you first started this thread causes no issues. But an extra step is to delete bootanimation.
I have removed the file as it apparently breaks Wifi and causes some instability with root privileges...
Another update will be posted with a fix later tonight
Edit: First post updated with ADB commands and a working .zip that has no negative side affects. I will flash a CWM flashable zip once issues are resolved
Original post updated with a repaired CWM flashable zip
Thanks
Thanks, this is just what I was looking for. Worked perfectly for me.
Yep worked great here on overcome gold rom
Thanks a ton for the stock bootanimation I always prefer it over custom ones Had a request if its possible...I notice that the sound is missing from the start up...there was a nice tune to the new gingerbread stock animation in the stock rom...is it possible to get a version with sound up? Hope its not a big bother!
Thanks & Cheers!
Can anyone confirm that after the latest jelly bean update 4.1.1 the wifi notification is back. I used sqleditor and returned the 2 values in the db secure and system to 0 and rebooted just as it worked before. This time its not working. Has anyone experienced this when rooting from 4.1.1?

Its there, but the old fix does not work. The new fix requires .png's to be removed. Most custom ROMs have this disabled as well.

Is this what we must do for the new mod? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784615
Update: i have tried doing the above method using link above. Page 2 actually contains a zip file you flash an .apk file that supposedly does everything for you. I did this and settings crashed. I read somewhere about deleting an odex file in system/app... i did this and after reboot phone would not get past verizon bootscreen. Fortunately i had a nandroid backup. Anyways Im still searching for a fix that i can do myself. I am looking for mods because I prefer using the stock over modified Roms.
I tried downgrading my Beanstalk OS (4.4) to Unofficial CM 10 (4.3) but got the Status 7 error. I found out that you can bypass the error by editing the updater-script file and removing the assert code. But I also learned that you can brick your phone if you do it wrong. I want to make sure this will work.
Is this the best way to downgrade and avoid the Status 7 error?
I need help on this too.
I was about to flash back to stock until I saw this thread.
Anybody could find a solution for that? I have a similar problem.
status 7 error means ur recovery version for 4.4 and 4.3 are diffrent.
I don't know how to overcome this because I was stuck in same problem.then I try to do it by odin for 2.3.3 stock rom.
at that time my phone get stuck in loop then I go to samsung store but they also can't fix it.
then I search on net to recover it.
I use some random technjque and finally got succeess

If u cannot go back to 4.3 flash an old recovery which is compatible with 4.3 and then try if this does not works then it hardly takes 10/12 mins to go back to 2.3.6 and from there to 4.3.
Restore a previous backup of a jellybean rom. It worked for me.

Can anyone confirm we can downgrade from 4.4 straight back to 4.2? KK is still so bugging for me.
Yes, you can remove the assert in the edify updater-script, but in doing so, you must ensure that the ROM you are flashing is exactly right for your phone. We are talking same the same target kernel and if it specifies a build number you need to be in, don't glaze over it.

I've tested. We can go from 4.4 to 4.2 without any problem.
Just wondering if anyone knows a solution for this. I have 4.4.4 factory image flashed and backed up. Then i flashed the downloadable 5.0 ROM backed up. If i am using the 4.4.4 ROM it works fine. When I use the other backup to 5.0 i cant save files. For example from hangouts like a picture someone may have sent. Any ideas why and how to correct this? Thanks in advance.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong section.

If root can even be obtained this might be an option, otherwise your probably out of luck
Sent from my Nexus 5
Root has been obtained @ShapesBlue
Nobody has created a ROM for i535PP users yet(the i535 roms run but no wifi/data). And you're correct about having to use safestrap to flash it.If you're comfortable with a bash terminal you can try using one of the various tools found around here to modify the stock rom. If you're not then I'll see what I can do this weekend and try to get something for us i535pp users (after a day or so of testing)

Ok, there wasn't really a need to mention me in this thread. Everytime someone does that I get an email. And just because root has been obtained doesn't mean you can flash roms via safestrap

Flashing via safestrap appears to work fine on my i535pp. The only issue I ran into was wifi not working with roms meant for the i535. And sorry for you having to receive an email for that.

Its cool. Good to see safestrap works on the prepaid version also

I'm not sure what a bash terminal is unless it's the same thing as the terminal emulator. I tried using that rom that's called paulpizz or something like that. I used some other rom to. The paulpizz one always failed to install even after downloading it a third time. The other one i can't remember the name but it installed but wouldn't start at all. It would just go black and bootloop and goes into stock recovery for some reason. I came across the nf5 module when i found that paulpizz rom on the goo server they hosted it on. So i got the module and i figured if i were to flash the module over the i535 rom that it would fix the wifi an data problem but never got an answer because it always failed to start up properly and would just bootloop into stock recovery. Ugh Verizon is making things so difficult with modding lol. As of now I'm just using xposed to get at least some theming in and tweaks. I couldn't get any deodex program to work. Whenever i used the deodex files and pushed them to the system of apps and framework, it would restart and just stick on the Verizon logo. So i had to flash the firmware to fix the problem.
When i was on 4.3 with this phone safestrap worked and i got the wifi and data sim error. Now that i got it replaced I'm running the kernel of July 22 2014. Everyone was saying I'm out of luck but i came across kingroot and got the most recent version and it worked. I have root. Installed safestrap for 4.4 and it runs fine but can't get any custom roms to boot. I only managed to find one 4.4 touchwiz rom unfortunately

If you're going to try flashing an i535 rom and then the i535pp modules let me know how that goes, can't test as I won't be able to do anything till the weekend. If that's the case then there's no need for roms for the pre paid version. Cyanogenmod was also bootable but very buggy.

I'll let you know how it goes and thank you. How is it that you were able to boot CM? From my understanding being that the bootloader is locked and has Knox for extra security to make the unlocking like impossible. But a genius came up with safestrap so we are able to use some custom roms but the down side is that it has to be the same Android OS and has to be a touchwiz based rom. So how are you getting lucky with all this? I love CM and I'd pick CM over any custom rom any day but i gave up an lost hope of ever getting CM because of the locked bootloader

Safestrap 3.75 had support for AOSP roms (wifi/data didn't work for them either) and 4.0 dropped support for that (there is currently no point). Read the thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314
Ok i wasn't using safestrap 4.0. I had 3.75 B05 which i thought was the latest version they had. I'm updated to 4.0 now and about to test the modules on the superlite rom
Update: i have tried the super lite rom using safestrap. The boot animation won't work during start up. When it gets to the welcome screen it freezes. It still does it even without applying the nf5 module. It freezes and will keep popping up that system isn't responding. System just keeps freezing and prompting me to wait or force close. So not sure why my s3 has a problem running it but yours don't

I'm running the stock prepaid rom, not superlightrom, sorry if there's any confusion there.
When I tried out superlightrom (quite some time ago) it appeared to work fine (excluding wifi/data and nagging about no SIM card being inserted, nothing like what you're describing) and I went back to stock.
Oh ok. Well it seems that the prepaid version or the s3 in general is dead. That's unfortunate
