I'm using a ROM and it doesn't have the standard wallpapers that come stock with the D-Inc. I've tried installing the apk file but it already exists. Does anyone have the image files extracted?
Hey there. I'm new to XDA, but have experience in "playing with" my Hero
So today I flashed a custom ROM which is FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock.
I like the rom. But, unfortunately it doesn'd support my native language fonts. I mean Armenian language.
While I had my original android 2.1, I managed to replace the stock fonts with some other Unicode ttf, which had the armenian support.
So I tried the same method now. (just copied new fonts in the system folder). But after reboot I got stuck on the "android" screen. Well, reflashed the rom....
So my question is: Is there a way to replace the fonts with some other? DjView_fonts for example.
Solved
Used the FontPack-DejaVuSans.zip from this thread. Just flashed it through recovery.
Well, on the developer's page there is an update called custom fonts. I downloaded the zip file and changed only the ttf fonts with my preferable ones. But when I tried to flash the zip, it said "Package verification failed on DroidSans-Bold.ttf".
Am I doing something wrong? How else can I replace the fonts? PLEASE HELP...
I have been searching on xda for some time now and here is a question. I am looking to change my bootanimation on the s3 as I am not happy with the verizon animation. When I had the droid bionic, all I had to do was change the name of the animation in system/media and place the new one and change accordingly. I saw two posts in here that did not exactly answer the question completely. If I flash an animation with cwm do I need to rename or move anything in system/media beforehand? Can the animation be extracted and just placed in the system/media folder? What is the best way to do this? I am rooted, stock with frozen bloat and some inverted gapps.
If you are rooted, you can use ROM Manager to change your boot animation quickly.
I have tried with rom toolbox however it did not work and I believe it mentioned something in rom toolbox about how it will not change if samsung uses a qmg format. Basically, I am asking for directions on how to change the boot animation once I have the new bootanimation.zip on my sd card. Is it even possible on the stock rooted s3?
I just used rom toolbox, found the one I wanted and installed it. Then went to recovery and flashed it, it showed an error, but I just left it alone and rebooted, and now I have a dancing droid! I would also recommend buying the full version so you can use the randomizer, its a fun feature.

I have the full version but changing the boot animation definitely does not work on a rooted stock ROM setup.
The bootanimation.zip support is dependent on a custom kernel on Samsung devices. In stock form only .qmg format will play. No one to this point can edit or create .qmg files, they are proprietary to Samsung devices and their Bada OS. If you want to change it you will need to flash imnuts' lean kernel (assuming you are stock rooted as it is a touchwiz kernel). On a side note i personally think the boot animation from the droid charge is pretty BA and is floating around the net in .qmg format, don't know if it would work or not though due to differences in screen resolution. Here it is if you want to give it a try, just unzip and rename/paste the files where they need to go. It also has audio, place in system/media/audio/ui.

Like i said,i have no clue if it will actually work or not but you could try ..... or just flash the kernel and use whatever lol. It's not my fault if it breaks stuff. Sorry for the long winded answer.

Thank you. I just changed the animation to the stock Samsung one that I believe came on the i9300. Nothing special, but it is 100 times better than that Verizon boot animation.
Did you flash the zip file in recovery? If you use the randomizer I don't think you have to flash the zip though.

I did the same thing. I also swapped the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files for files with no sounds so the boot up and shutdown are now quiet. The replacement audio files may be found in this thread.

You can edit the .qmg files. You have to use Samsung's Theme Designer to view the .pngs. From there, you can edit the bootanimation how you like.
can the png sequence be extracted now? I wrote off using the theme designer a long time ago because i could not extract them

I presumed that if elreyden was able to change the animation to the i9300 stock one, that I should be able to do it also. The animation that he refers to won't work with a stock rom (contains jpg, not qmg files), hence my confusion. I thought I must have had found the wrong link.

Not sure what your particular situation is, but try putting the bootanimation.zip (not a flashable file. If you have one of those, extract the bootanimation.zip) to /data/local/ instead.
Tried it and it didn't work. I've given up - there doesn't seem to be a solution for stock rom. I will wait and probably flash a rom when they've had a chance to get solid.

I'm on a stock rom and changed my VZW animation to the I9300 w/o any real problem, other than locating the qmg files. I've included to 2 files that I used in the attached zip so you should have it pretty easy To use them simply extract the files and put them into the /system/media folder using Root Explorer or whatever root based file utility you prefer. I simply renamed my existing versions and then copied these into the folder and made sure the permissions were the same. Once done I rebooted and the VZW version was nowhere to be seen.
It's also possible to replace the audio files. I wound up using "empty" files so I no longer have to listen to startup/shutdown sounds either. :good:
ETA: Here's the link to the thread with the silent startup & shutdown sounds. Scroll down to post #9.

Thank you. I did this last week and it worked great. Stock Samsung bootanimation is less annoying than the Verizon 4glte one.
Update Package for S7/S7EDGE 9.0 FE PORTS - APP & PRIV-APP FOLDERS + S10 UI Sounds
This package contains updated app and priv-app folders (07.04.2019) with the latest working version off applications (tested all by me) for Galaxy Note FE ported S7/S7Edge roms.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397934954
edit!: S7 users shoud remove samsung boot and bootloop .qmg files in media directory.
you may also want to skip SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk since devs made modifications on them for rom control.
R: For the future updates.
Nice thanks a lot.
In the media directory i found also the samsung boot and bootloop .qmg files, can i overwrite mine with those files on my nfe pie s7 port rom ? Without ending up in bootloop?
Maybe i can also find the s10 bootsplash that wa.

They are original s7 edge files. only sounds changed. but as you say I remember I should delete them for S7 flat users. I'm updating more apps in the rom I'll remove them next release.
how do i flash to my phone please?

That's not in flashable form. Ypu need to replace your FE port rom's folders before flashing the OS.
Ty so much Rrory good ideas
So as you guys probably know , Samsung's OS is a bit different than other roms and and therefore I can't install the specific boot animation I want , because it requires QMG and the boot animation I want is a ZIP file , if anyone can help me to convert it from ZIP to QMG or just do that for me , it would be much appreciated , thanks in advance

Google can be your friend on this one. You need to make them image by image in png format. Then use whatever Samsung uses it does. You can't just convert a zip to qmg.
If it was absolutely that simple every one would be making them. There are guides out there. But tedious work.
I tried googling but this stuff is complicated for me and it could be cool if anyone would do that for me or atleast help me with that cuz I didnt really understand everything

I used to have a zip file that enables the use of boot animations in .zip format it's old coming from Lollipop era try searching the file name Lollipop Bootanimation Zip Enabler in Google you should be able to find old posts and links about it
If you decide to do this always remember to backup everything since you'll be flashing a zip file in twrp to enable the option to use bootanimation.zip

I've seen that, pretty outdated and I think has some issues on the Android versions not mentioned on that post. What I noticed is that all that zip does is replace the bin/bootanimation file. If my crazy noob logic tells me something, I'm thinking that it may be possible to get a bin/bootanimation file from AOSP and replace it on current Samsung firmware to try to bring back bootanimation.zip support. It prooooooooobably won't work but it's funny to think about

Hi,
I've been looking for a while now to flash custom boot animations. There are tutorials, but I don't dare start well. Unfortunately, not many, if any, custom bootanimations are in qmg format.

I also searched behind a Magisk or Exposed module, which could fix this, but I don't think there is one.

Is there no safe way to do this? I have replaced the qmg files but nothing changes. I've deleted the files and they come back. Kind of afraid to flash the marshmalow bootanimation.zip support since its quite outdated. Would love to know if someone managed to use the zip instead of the qmg on a s9+ with oneui 2.0
Thanks in advance
I forget which Samsung galaxy I did this on but I simply renamed bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to another name and then copied a bootanimation.zip file into that same folder (/system/media) and it worked.
You also have to make sure permissions are set correctly

I tried this on my s7 with Floyd v7 installed and it didn't work but it did stop the boot animation from displaying
