[Q] HELP wanted to install custom boot animation after doing SRE root

Can someone please help me out? I am wanting to install a custom boot animation. I downloaded one from this forum and renamed it to bootanimation.zip. I place on my memory card then used Root Explorer to move it to /system/media. I rebooted the phone but no animation comes up.

Galaxy S phones don't use bootanmation.zip they use a proprietary format QMG or something.

Thanks for the quick reply.

any luck??? I have been all over different forums trying to figure this out with zero luck....

negative.. Gunnyman stated it perfectly.. I researched for hours trying to figure out how to decode the QMG format into frames.. and met with no success.

I'm digging into QMG tonight. If there are mac tools for editing them I'll work on it.

please do, I would really like the boot animation from jh2 (not the S breaking into pieces and rebuilding, but the blue and purple shine that runs though it a couple of times.
super sexy imo.

I'm sure you could purchase the tools for several thousands of dollars from the proprietor, Quram Soft.
The price isn't even available on their web site, http://quramsoft.com/solution_e/qmage.asp
The name of the QMG format is Qmage, I've been unable to ascertain if our phones use Qmage or Qmage - F.
See Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736412 for all the information that we have on boot animations, shut down animations, and sounds.

actually, you can do the bootanimation.zip, one of my co-workers was messing with it today... you probably need to set the permissions on the zip correctly.

i know how you feel my poor phone is only 4 days old. day one 1.2.2a, day two 1.2.3, day 4 1.2.3a lol

Try this Custom Boot animation

Here is a custom boot animation I put together of the Galaxy S boot up screen without the verizon logo/bootup. Load it on your phone and tell me what you think.

So basically you just removed the VZW portion of the boot animation. Wouldnt deleting that file sorta do the same thing.

Try it and see, Verizon stuff is deleted and galaxy S looped a couple of times.

Yea I opened and played it on my pc. But like I said, same boot animation but without the VZW crap. Nice job though.

Just curious, how do you play it on a computer?

For me, I just open the part0 file, ctrl a, right click and select open. Windows pic viewer will open them all in order and it looks like it does on the phone, with a bit more lag of course.

A lot of ROMs remove the bootup sound because a lot of us find it annoying. You can use any sound you want, as long as you can make it a wav file. Name it PowerOn.wav and place it the /system/etc folder

[ROM] Adeo

Decided for fun I would call this a rom, Adeo (A deodexed rom).
This is the full retail system dump, deodexed. Nothing more, nothing less.
What is the point of this?
So you can modify the APK's in a deodexed environment or apply some of my mods
taken down for now
In the mean time I will be working on a better script that executes on the phone rather then thru three bat files so you only have one SU request.
Disclaimer: break your ****? Don't ***** to me about it, you know the risks.

Downloading Now! Thankyou Designgears

Awesome job making it super accessible for everyone! Now we can all have deodexed systems.
Looking forward to the battery mod as well as the shut down options one.

That is pretty hacky, but it works
working on a shell script so I can push everything to the phone, and launcher script, accept one SU request, reboots, and done.

crappy, not sure why that would happen unless the deodexed files didnt really copy over

So I am trying to write a script following your instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11585851&postcount=1
Now sure why but no luck. And time is a factor. LOL
I PM'd you the script so you can let me know my error.

Hey, just a thought, boot into recovery, do a factory reset..
making a script too if you want to wait to try that first

Seriously, while you wait for the fn thing to reboot, it seems like it's forever. But trying to type everything in a command prompt, the time speeds up to reboot. FML

will try and see if that works. Do you have a script you can post since you said you have used the recover method before?

I have Nfc in System/apps. So am i renaming it so it doesn't replace the original, or DO i rename it to match and replace original?
Thanks for the help and apk.

You want to replace it.

doesn't work on cleanrom

You took the one I posted and replaced the one you have and rebooted?
I have used it on 3-4 different roms.
Make sure the permissions are set correct.

Does not work for me. I get a never ending, looping error message"Unfortunately, NFC service has stopped" and making my phone unusable because of the message. always poping up and not allowing to navigate to reboot. I had to re install my backup when I finally did get the phone to reboot into recovery.
On the positive side.... I am an idiot, I am using the d3rpONE rom and one of the rom features is "NFC works with the screen off."
I knew I saw it somewhere, just didnt relieze it was the rom i was wearing LOL

Man.. Sorry you had an issue.. Works for me with no issues on viper.. Timber.. Bowers rom.. Glad you got it all figured out..

AOSP lock screen on RaptorRom

Hey everyone. Just decided to post this for anyone using the wonderful RaptorRom by LarryBoyG that would like AOSP lock screen for whatever reason.
Get a root enabled file manager such as ES File Manager
Go into system/priv-app
Rename HTClockscreen.apk to HTClockscreen.apk.bac
Rename HTClockscreen.odex to HTClockscreen.odex.bac
Reboot system
There you go aosp lock screen

tried it and got a bootloop.

I had no trouble doing it. It just booted right up with the AOSP lockscreen.

Anyone else?

Look at step 2 it will show you what to after the renaming. I did this too maybe that's why it worked for me?

I am waiting for my wife to bring back home my cable. We have two but apparently with the one thats home I cant get adb to recognise my device. She took mine to work yesterday. Im sure thats all it is as I got in the other day. Kinda pissed but,,,,Ill for sure report back this evening when I give it a go. Very hopeful. Thanks

What are we gunna do with the women.... haha

Well thought I had it. Got all the way thru till the end after changing file names, running file and all but after all is said and done, nothing changes. Yes, I do have Lockscreen widgets ticked under settings-security. Bummer for sure. Thanks much for the help and guidance buddy.

Did you reboot right after changing file names?

I did, but that was a couple of days ago. Also, I noticed I actually have 3 files
1)HtcLockScreen.apk.bac (the ? kind)
2)HtcLockScreen.odex.bac (the ? kind)
3HtcLockScreen.apk_bac (the ? kind)
the first one (apk) I changed to.bac
second on I changed odex.bac
the last one (#3) was there like that and I left it as is
Not sure why and not sure if I should get rid of one and if so which one. Hmm
Maybe I will switch back, and try again from the beginning. Bummer

Did you ever back it up with titanium maybe?
When you rebooted 3 days ago did you have the AOSP lockscreen but with no widget support? You should have.
try deleting the _bac one
and running the setupwizrd again?

NO, no change the other day.
Im going to try what you suggest. After remnaming files, reboot then connect to computer, run commands laid out in the article and Bam I hope.
Now earlier, the setup wizard started but I got a "google servers failed, blah blah notice" I tried several times again after and never could get the setup wizard to start again. I know Im close, I can feel it.
So after the wizard runs, then what......reboot or should the lockscreen just change. and how do I go about adding the widgets to the lockscreen or are they just on by default?
Appreciate you sticking with me buddy, either way it turns out.:good::good::good:
