[Q] Take an app from a custom rom

Hi!
I used for a couple of week a custom rom, the Galnet Miui.
Now I like to try an other rom, but I'd like to keep the Galnet's dialer and browser.
How can I get that apps? Is it easy?
Can I just copy the .apk in system/app in the zipped rom from a zip file to other?
And again... the browser is easy... browser.apk... but how can I recognize the dialer?
Thank you all!

Yes copy the apk to system/app, backup First cause the apk may not work properly, that's why I say backup, experiment all you want but once something goes wrong you have a backup plan , so just get the apk you want and push to system/app and install
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"

Thank you.
But what's the name of the dialer's apk?

make a backup of whole system folder, then you can test one by one =) DialerTabActivity may be?

[Q] How to change Bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM v10.4

Hey, I'd like to know how to change the bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM as ive already tried BootAni and some other apps and even tried manually changing the Bootanimation in "data" and "system/media"...didnt work.... it'd be great if i could get some help and if possible in a step by step manner...

1. Find a suitable replacement in bootanimation.zip format.
2.check to make sure this isnt an update zip. (do this by exploring the file, it should consist of only files names "part0" and "desc.txt" and maybe "part1")
3.If it is a update zip, unzip it and extract the bootanimationzip inside it.
4. place this onto sd card
5. use root explorer or similar to move the file to system/media, making sure it is named "bootanimation.zip" it should say something like "file exists, replace it?". say yes.
6. now long press the new file and open up permissions in the menu. set these as rw-r--r--
7. reboot phone and enjoy!
bear in mind that kyrillos 10.4 is based on open fimg, so you may have white patched in the boot animation, just like the one preloaded onto it.

In 10.4, Kyrillos has fixed the white patches in SOME bootanimation, like the stock one.

I did ..
On an extra note:
If you want to avoid having white flashes in your bootanimations on any rom with openFIMG you should look for one with less than 75 frames in the part1 folder. Any frames past that turn white...

Tried didnt work!!....

Make a bootanimation in 1080x1920 resolution (be very careful about this, if it is in any other resolution your device will not boot.) and place it in:
Device>Cust>Preinstalled>public>media
Before copying your new bootanimation.zip to this foler rename the existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak (or whichever name you like) and leave it there.
Change permissions of your new bootanimation to rwrr with ES Explorer.
If want your bootanimation sound changed as well, you can save a file in the .ogg format, max 10-15 secs and place it here:
Device>System>media>audio>animationsounds>
* Remember you will have to change all files back to original if you want to install Huawei's OTA updates in future, so be sure to keep backups of the original files.

Thank you verta much!

regular bootanimation
anyone got the regular Huawei bootantimation? (L04? L12?)
I'm on L02, and the China Unicom bootanimation is annoying.
Thanks!

If you have root, you can debrand (change boot animation) using this tool. Wokked for me.

I've tried with My Honor 6 Plus (PINE PE-TL10) stuck at the new bootloader, cust folder missing from TWRP file manager (I made a backup before swap , but no way to restore)
Emergency flash (SD method) end with error message ("Cust folder missing" or "customization failled") but works (it wipe your data).
then a upgrade to Marshmallow (Emirates B510 Version) and the folder is not present on Android 6 !

First week with rooted device and boot animation procedures

It's my first time customizing an android phone, and I have to say, there's a lot to learn. Samsung devices are made to read qmg files when it comes to boot animations, but I'm already making my own boot animations, and I have a lot of questions I hope this post isn't that long.
================================
1- after installing CWM can I UNINSTALL it using odin? Or is there any other way to do it without my computer?
================================
2- I know that you can't UNflash files, so when I flash a zip file (specifically bootanimations4U) what files should I back up? I'd rather back up only the files that will be replaced? Or is there an app to back up files from a certain folder and just bring them back if I want to bing back the normal animations?
================================
3- let's say that my device is rooted, it has CWM installed, and also, has the . zip enabler flashed already and in use. I'm planning to FORMAT my phone in a couple of weeks because I want to use it as if it's rooted with the whole storage available (I don't have storage problems I just want to do that) but my question is...
************************ ==========
-Q3: if my goal is just to delete my data and apps only, can I just use the factory reset from the settings? Do I need to do anything regarding CWM or the zip file I've flashed? Will CWM be deleted? Will I have to flash that .zip reader enabler again? What do I need to do if I needed to reset my phone without any problems?
================================
4- is there a file size limit for the bootanimations.zip files on Samsung files (galaxy s5 android 6.0) and also the audio file size limit?
================================
5- what is the condition in which I have to flash the bootanimation4U . samsungani . zip file and not the other one?

Question Guys, i need help!

Guess who is the craziest person on the planet earth? this is me! So, in short, I wanted to change the font to my custom one. I changed it in the /system/fonts/ folder and there was a file: roboto-regular.ttf In short, I changed this file to another file with the same name, and immediately rebooted the phone, and I started an endless system boot animation (lineage os ) I need your help.

Reflash the rom, just like you would update it.

if you use custom rom like aosp it's so simple to change it. It's under the font settings and you can select what font you will use unlike miui that you need to download the font then apply.
