Guys, I take no credit for this at all (it's a copy and paste from Rootzwiki from eyeballer, the man in the Touchpad thread). I've tested it and it fully works on 7/9/12 nightly of CM9. My density stays at 190 even after updates, it's awesome. So follow the following directions and edit your "local.prop" to whatever density you choose and save it to /data. For step 2 you can use my 190dpi file I've attached (you can open it and edit it to your liking) this makes step 3 unnecessary as well. Check it out...
(EDIT) for some reason it won't let me attach the file so here's the link to the original thread with the file you'll have to mod.

Mod Type: Mod Difficulty: Very Easy Mod Status: Stable Mod Base: Carrier: Requires Root: Yes Apply In: Other (See Description) Optional: Optional: Android Version:
For those changing lcd density you have to re-apply your edits after each rom/nightly flash. This method prevents that by overriding lcd density by using a local.prop file in /data.
1) Restore stock lcd density in build.prop: either undo the manual edits you did, or reflash your rom .zip to restore the build.prop to stock
2) Get one of these files based on the density you liked to use: lcd-density-120 or lcd-density-132
3) Rename it to "local.prop" and save it in /data (the root of the /data folder) - if you're on your touchpad then use any file manager to do this, or download to pc and adb push to /data
4) Reboot
This should override the 160 lcd density in /system/build.prop and it will survive rom flashes and incremental updates with goo manager for my nightlies (until you wipe /data obviously). Of course you can reverse the changes by simply deleting the file and rebooting.
You are welcome to try to add other mods using this method but not all will work, and for some reason not all apps/games read local.prop.
The files I posted just contain
"qemu.sf.lcd_density=132" which overrides "ro.sf.lcd_density=132" in /system/build.prop.
wow, I thought people would care! Ah well...
Thanks
If I used a different density, I would definitely use this method, but I don't. Thanks for posting it though, it's nice to know!
Hello guys, today i wanna share with you the Android M Bootanimation for the Samsung Galaxy S4.
First of all i have to mention the source where i took the Android M bootanimation >https://plus.google.comu/0/+DustinW...ts/MY9rvYJiNbj, the CyanogenMod team for their Bootanimation binary and VillainRom for his awesome VrTheme script that, with some adjustments, made possible to automatise a backup zip for the Stock Samsung Bootanimation.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
Note: the bootanimation has a 1440x2560 resolution, it may does not fit perfectly your screen!*Note 5Note 4 (All Variants)Note 2 - N7100Note 3S6 - G925S5S4 - i9505Galaxy J5If your device it's not in the list you can try it anyway, my zip automatically creates a flashable backup! if it worked write a feedback! Thank you very much!

INSTALLATION GUIDE
To install it you need a recovery, i suggest you TWRP but other recoveries should go fine too. Should i write the steps? Ok, download the zip and flash it...DONE!*
Note: after the flash a backup zip will be created inside /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/
USEFUL ZIPS
-Do you wanna revert to the original bootanimation binary restoring the Stock Bootanimation? > Flash the autogenerated zip in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/StockBootanimationRestorer.zip
-Do you wanna totally remove the Shutdown animation? >*ShutdownAnimation Remover* https://goo.gl/MCrekq ( Note: this zip just deletes the ShutdownAnimation.qmg file)

I'm working on it. Will take some time though(busy days).
Very cool! Always love a BIOS boot animation.
I'm currently running halogenOS based on nougat. Can I just flash this?

Yes you can. But most nougat roms boot much faster now so I'll make a one for nougat with increased fps.
Update: Added a Nougat version + Optimized all images for a minimal file size(without compromising the quality). Enjoy!

Sorry. I lost my original .psd files when I upgraded my system. You'll have extract the images & edit them. Make some ps actions to speed up the process.
Hi B!Gguy I have a couple of questions.
1. The last firm for OP2 v3.6.0 the boot is more faster and I installed the Nougat version. But the transition is more faster than boot. How can I change that?
2. What program do you use to compile the zip (non flashable). Some time ago I tried to do my own bootanimation, creating the ZIP with power archiver or winzip, but when testing on my OP2 when starting I only saw the black screen

If you want to speed up or to slow down the frame rate(in your words transition speed) you just need to edit desc.txt file.
Extract the bootanimation.zip file & open desc.txt file with a text editor.
What you need to focus here is the number NEXT to 1920. That's the frame rate. For example if the number is 10, it means 10 frames(images) per second. if you increase the number animation speed will be increased. if decrease it then it will be decreased. You can edit this number & find the best one according to your rom's boot time.
After editing, when you need to archive files into bootanimation.zip use 'no compression'(store only) method. Google if you don't know how to do this as this may vary with the compression software you use. This should solve the black screen issue.
Any chance you can update it for Android version 8 too.
Thanks in advance

* Today I mod the Snap camera with 3 icons: Motorola material, Google Camera material, Pixel icon.
* Installation:
• If you running stock ROM, just install as a normal apk.
• If you running LOS 13, LOS 14 or any custom ROM based on LOS with Snap Camera pre-installed, please do these steps to install:
1. Delete the original "Snap" folder in /system/priv-app in Root Explorer
2. Wait for a few second, then recreate a folder with the same name (Snap)
3. Go to "Snap" folder and paste the apk file of the modded Snap Camera
4. Set to correct permission: folder (0755 - rwxr-xr-x), apk (0644 - rw-r-r)
5. Reboot your phone and enjoy the new Snap Camera
