[Q] CM11 Boot Animation Sound??

So I've been Googling and Googling, but can't find anything on how to implement sounds within CM11 Theme-compatible Boot Animations; is it possible, and do any ROMs for the OnePlus One even support it??
I've tried even circumventing the CM11 Theme Engine completely and just added a line into the desc.txt file to see the OGG file in system/media, but all to no avail.
Any insight into this would be GREATLY appreciated!! I'm trying to see if I can get this to work in this boot animation, and there is surprisingly little current documentation on this that I could find.
So nothing then I guess? Has anyone found anything on this at all?
Did you try to edit build.prop
There a line that disable boot sound change it from 1 to 0 or the upside I don't know exactly

Thanks for providing some info Madkita!
I did see that option, but I was hoping for a more universally usable option, like something that could be loaded in any ROM with an APK, and without a root hack for those not rooted. I think it might just not be possible that way, so I'll have to abandon this after all.
Could you just add a apk file or make a boot animation with it included?
- Samsung Galaxy Ace ii-x CM 4.4.4.
- Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime 5.1
- Samsung S2 CM 12.1
- Nexus 5 5.1
- Nexus 7 5.2
- LG L5 4.1
- LG P690B 2.3.4.
- HTC One

It would have to be an APK file for that to work, or maybe an installer ZIP like the one I use for my ctOS Boot Animation.
Either way, the boot sound file is named differently across ROMs, so without creating a script to figure out if the ROM supports it and what the subsequent file is named, I'm really not sure how to best do this.
That being said, if anyone has any ideas of how best to universally implement something like this, I'm all ears! And if anyone wants to take a stab at compiling something for my ctOS Boot Animation, I'll happily put up a bounty of $20 for the first person who can make a CM11/CM12 boot animation sound work across all devices.

[HELP] Leagoo T5: why is not available any ROM ?

Hello
I've a Leagoo T5 wich use his own Nougat modifiied. TERRIFIC !!!
I'm looking for another ROM wich supporting all feature (also double rear camera and fingerprint reader) because it's impossible to use it.
T.I.A.

You can use "MTK Extractor" to extract system.img and other files, you can then modify them, and flash them using "SP Flash".
I recently uploaded a clean stock ROM (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180116) to Mediafire and Needrom.
I've also uploaded a carepack if you are interested in the new ROM, or even for a custom.
The command for fast boot is: fastboot oem unlock

Do you mind sharing please? I'd love to get a working custom rom on this device.
I still can't add links yet, so you will have to Google search: "MTK Extractor". Download it, and then download the latest official ROM, which I have uploaded to Needrom and Mediafire, Google search: "OS2.1_E_20180116".
Extract the "system.img" file from the stock ROM using MTK Extractor, you can then go ahead and make your customization's. System apks are signed and locked, however they can be replaced.
When you have finished, you can use MTK Extractor to create a new system.img file with all of your modifications (including root, if you add it). The size for system.img is 4096mb.
The MTK Extractor tool uses a slider bar and text input for the partition size, the slider is limited, however enter 4096 into the text box (don't delete the text, it bugs).
Enter fastboot (Power + Volume up), third option, then using ADB with command prompt, type the command: "fastboot oem unlock", and then accept.
Now you have unlocked the phone, you can run your custom ROM. In a factory locked state, ROM's will install, but not run.
I forgot to mention my Needrom pack contains MTK Extractor. If you can make roms, there are 3 stock bugs that I would ask you to fix.
1: If the navigation bar is hidden, there is a window transition blip (bottom of the screen) if you swipe to recent apps.
2: If you select the first (bottom left) icon from the lock screen (voice, usually), you get a grey background.
3: Bluetooth scanning sometimes bugs (MAC instead of name), once paired there are no issues.*
* This may be due to my headset, but I remember my TV also displaying a MAC once.
Also, can you align or remove the 4G icon that shows even with data turned off.
Ok... So far this thread seems to be the only one on xda-dev about leagoo T5, which i just buy.
By the way thanks Ferather for pushing the rom on need rom.

Need help
Hi, could you please share the Mediafire link?
Since the last rom update (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180822 aka OS2.1_E_20181025) I post on needrom a moded rooted boot with magisk.
i have this leagoo t5 running this newest e_20181025 but im getting a problem with my front facing camera only displaying like an upsidedown image of the rear camera. please advise on what i can do to fix this
Maybe inconsistence between differents partitions (like boot and system)
If you know what you are doing I will advise reflashing all principal partitions.
But i don't think the phone came like this when new, so someone must have messed something.

LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20181025.zip -- Original Leagoo T5 ROM
LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_C_20181025.zip -- Custom Leagoo T5 ROM
No issues, other than the one I have mentioned, which is just an app default.
Enjoy!
hey cool rom bro.
Thank for sharing.
No problem, I thought I would start the ball rolling for customization of the rom, since adding ringtones does not work with the stock rom (media storage app issue I think).
You can permanently edit the rom yourself, which I found very easy. If you want to add apps, simply install them from sdcard or store, then navigate to "/data/app", you will find your installed app or update, with odex files and libs, if any.
I created a temp folder on "/data" called "Working" and copied everything into it, and then setup the correct permissions, and renames, and transferred to either "/system/app" or "/system/priv-app", depending on the app.
A better way to do it, is to use "Lubuntu" from live USB or DVD, and then mount the image and edit it as root: "sudo *file explorer*", in this case "sudo pcmanfm-qt", then create a folder in "/mnt" called "ROM".
Next copy "system.img" to "/tmp", and mount it "sudo mount /tmp/system.img /mnt/ROM", now you can do whatever you like, but make sure to "chown" and "chmod" all your modifications.
Make sure you delete anything you will replace when you transfer, else you might get old unused files (folder merged and non-replaced items remain).
----
If you make edits on the phone using an app, and want to make your own "system.img", use the readback option in "SP Flash Tool".
physical_start_addr: 0xe000000
partition_size: 0x100000000
----
Note: Most non-stock apps *do not* support the triple (3x) camera setup, and will either use the wrong camera or crash.
Yeah I encounter problems too to add custom ringtone and wallpaper but i manage to get over it by changing some files permissions
By the way I am "456456" on needrom, the boot img with magisk is from me
I know the time needed to make a custom rom and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one trying to mess with this not-bad-at-all cheap phone
There is a possibility of an Oreo port, there is a Leagoo T8s with the the same chip that runs Oreo 8.1.0. I have checked over the rom and it looks possible (based on my basic knowledge).
Cygwin + Cmder, for Android. I made the pack myself, and thought it might help others using Windows who want various Linux tools.
I added Cmder for better console support and easy admin: ---- http://www.mediafire.com/folder/lzsf7xd2wwsm4/Commander
Quick update, will now self configure "/home", added ADB and Fastboot.

Hi, Running your ROM with no other mods, it's certainly better than original. Just curiousis there anyone working on an Oreo based ROM ?. ... J
Thanks, I did not manage to get the Oreo from the T8 to function, due to hardware changes.

[MOD] Change boot image

Hey,
I modded a little script from the S6 that's meant to change boot image (to an apple one for now). It should work, but it's untested. If someone does decide to test, can you let me know if it works. (also if it does work, I'll make different boot images if you want, I guess ask me).
Thanks :good:

[GUIDE] How to install Android 10 (Q) eOS GSI custom build

My Moto G6 is not my daily driver anymore so I thought I'd try to install e/os on it. My sole purpose for doing this is to get a feel for the interface and overall functionalities with an ecloud account. Would not be fair to comment on performance as it's a generic 32bits build image.
The Moto G6 is not officially supported by e/os and there are no specific custom builds for this phone (yet) so I used an existing GSI posted on their website.
What you need:
#1. VERY IMPORTANT - Pie Stock ROM needed as it requires some 32bits code to work. I reflashed PPSS29.55-37-7-10 found here​#2. Download latest twrp (twrp-3.6.0_9-0-ali.img) here​#3. Download e/os image partition A only (treble check) / 32 bits only from here and unpack the img file​#4. Download Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_04.03.19.zip here - not sure it's really needed. I'm using this version because I had it saved. I assume that a newer one should work.​#5. Put all the files onto a sd card​#6. (Optional) Create an ecloud account at https://e.foundation/ecloud/​
I followed these steps:
#7. Boot and flash TWRP​#8. Format /data​#9. Install system.img into system partition​#10. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt​#11. Reboot​
A few more links for reference:
https://e.foundation/e-os/​https://community.e.foundation/t/custom-build-android-10-q-eos-gsi/19626/143​https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevintresuelo.treble​
First impressions are good:
- Minimal image, nearly no clutter.​- Seems to work as expected and having the ecloud account is nice for syncing contacts amongst other things.​- I don't really like the desktop theme which is very similar to another phone OS but that's a personal thing. I need to look at other themes / icons.​- I have no SIM in the phone so no idea about call quality etc...​- Not tried rooting it yet for examples.​
I'm at the very early stages playing with it. If anybody has any tips please share
Sadly, still in 2023 no official support for the G6 (ALI) from /e/os, even though it was been request several times in the forums.
Is there such a big difference hardware-wise that making a port from G6 plus is too complicated or time-consuming?

[TOOL] Boot Animation Creator for Android

BootAnimations Creator​Simplicity.
What is this?​This is a simple Python script that turns an ffmpeg-supported video into a boot animation. Soon it will also pickup PNG series.
Why was this created?
Why was this created?​I didn't discover any tools that would do this, so I decided to make one.
How can I use it?​Go to https://github.com/MajliTech/bootanimation-creator and check on Releases to download the newest version.
Why is it still in prerelease?​Since I don't have a phone to test this on. My Xiaomi Note 11 is my main phone so I don't want to brick it. However any testers are welcome!
Not a bad idea, but a more useful thing would be a desktop bootanimation previewer.
I might make one, but my boot animation is really boring anyway (and low overhead).
I also thought about this, but the boot animation format is still kinda too confusing for me. I may make a tool like this in the future, but for now this is what I got.
@MajliTech Could you post a sample of a boot animation that this generates? (Any res, any theme.)
Here's the sample.

Nope. It's what I thought. That is not going to work. Your zip file uses compression. It will fail.

Note that the ZIP archive is not actually compressed!

It's a stupid gotcha. Nothing in bootanimation.zip can be compressed (beyond the original PNG compression).

@MajliTech So, did your patch from January 9 fix the compression issue?
