Although I've searched for a while i was unable to find anything about changing the boot animation in cognition 5 v2. not only that searching via android is not working for me. im also unable to post on the development section at the moment. I've tried using root explorer to swap the bootanimation.zip with the .qmg but no luck. if anyone can help or has any input id appreciate it. thanks, Matt

Hi,
When I try copy an apk file from data/app-private to my SD card nothing is copied!? Why is this? Do I have to change file permission somehow first? They are "rw-r-----"
Thanks

Root Explorer also seems to work differently on the Hero.
I've not managed to get it to do any of the things I know it did fine on my Magic - maybe another app that needs a specific Hero version?

Good...not just me then!
resurrecting a dead post but
I just searched here, and this came up.
I've used:

and it works fine on the hero
ok, so i am very new to this metamorph thing. I have recently dl the paid version, aslo have dl andexplorer. i am currently using a
samsung galaxy spica with i570xxjce(2.1) with LkMod v. 2.5.1
of which has root (su) and busybox.
The problem i am having when attempting to load the Metamorph app is, i'm being told that "some file could not be extracted and set up. please make sure you have enough free space in /system and that busybox is installed."
I have installed Root Explorer. Deleted many different stock apps and ringtones. Still the same message. I am trying to figure out this using connectbot for terminal commands. Ive google'd the snot out of everything and still nothing. I have read many forums and still nothing also. Is there anything else i need to know?
Please help me
Thank you,
Len

FIRST OFF, MORPHS ARE SPECIFIC TO ROMS. you MUST HAVE THE ROM INSTALLED THAT THE MORPH IS COMPATABLE WITH. thats NUMBER ONE. since most of the most COMMON MORPHS ARE FOR CYANOGEN/SUPER D, that is ONE reason why its not working. i am 99 percent positive you CANNOT load a super d/cm rom on a samsung.
well i appreciate the reply. But Stephan is working with me to get his program to work with samsung.
I have samsung galaxy spica rooted with leshaks 2.02, is there any chance I could use Buuf 2.51 theme on my Spica. I really love this theme and dying to get it on my mobile.
I'm not sure if this has been answered or not. I searched through the forums but didn't find anything about it. Can you change the boot screen on this version of the rom?
You just need to replace the "bootanimation.zip" package in /system/media
hmmm, i tried to do it with a root explorer. I may not of done it right, ill try it again
I used super manger, I realized at first that it wasnt using root permison. fixed that, coppied it there, reboot, and still didnt see the custom animation. any thing else im missing?
well i retried it, and copied to some /local directory and vala it worked! thanks guys
I want to further u dressed what I'm doing wrong in changing lock.ogg and other sound and animation files. I understand that the qmg files are made in a way to make it more difficult to change but I'm doing something wrong. Even completely deleting the stock mini loop animations with my root browser has No effect. They aren't their but they continue play on every boot. I recently flashed a lollipop animation that is working but upon looking at the way the the files were done using .Baker did not work for me. I just want to understand what exactly I'm doing wrong. Existing file rename with .bak place new file in required location renaming to Samsung miniloop etc. Change permissions to match making sure the root browser is in r/w. AND NOTHING.... I really want to understand r/w and later decompose/recompile but this first hurdle with file changing is really messing with me. Any help is appreciated

Maybe you need to not leave that renamed file in the same directory?

I tried deleting them altogether and they still play. And this really isn't matter of just having a custom boot animation because I can easily flash a zip file but I want to do it myself. Is it really necessary to use the Samsung theme to recreate a working animation for my phone

I would recommend downloading a boot animation that works on this phone and see what files you have to modify. I know for sound it is 3 of them.

I did with a custom matrix boot animation and went and looked at all the files and tried my best to recreate what had already been done but all it did was take the animation away completely and put me in bootloop

Link me to this and I will see what is up. I know of only one boot animation that was made for this phone. I could be wrong but let's check

All of the boot animations and the certain shutdown animation work flawlessly on my sm-n910t running on hyperdrive RLS3. I used that lollipop animation until I found these it was jumpy but better than stock

If these work what is it that you are trying to do? I think I missed something.

In the original post I inquired on what issue I'm having with moving/changing/renaming files and their permissions. I have tried everything I have seen on the the forums ie. Renaming original ending with .bak placing new file within the directory and renaming to match the original file. Changing permissions then reboot into recovery. Wipe dalvik and cache (even tried not wiping) reboot system anf either nothing at all or the original samsung boot. Ive tried boot animation changer and six different types of file explorers (2 paid versions) hours and hours of youtube videos and thread after thread to find my solution. I see that qmg files most likely can only be exchanged with qmg files created via samsung themer. Im currently using an sm-n910t on the hyperdrive rls3 rom and just recently flashed the bioshovk kernel in the hopes that it would support .zip boot animations but it doesnt quite work like that. I tried the starkissed kernel and the nadia kernel to end in softbrick. I am extremely interested in all of these things and eagerly look forward to decompile/recompile but as it stands im stuck at unchangable boots lol. Im really hoping to see possibly a video of the changes being done on an actual note 4 not an s5 or anything else. As always any info is greatly appreciated
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so excuse me if this isn't the right section to post my problem.
so I tried to change the theme of my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 after I install a custom ROM in it, so I installed ROM toolbox Lite and I tried to change the phone's theme from there but it didn't work, after that I searched for some apps (I thought that my phone needed those apps to apply the themes from ROM Toolbox Lite) apps like : Theme chooser ,Theme changer, Theme manager and I kept rebooting each time I installed a theme thinking that what must be done so my phone can load it. but nothing changed, so after some searching on google I found a topic in this forum that has some APK files to choose from to change the phone's theme and it must replace Touchwiz30.apk in the System/app directory and give it the permission to write , read and read but I didn't find it with that exact name ,in my case it was called TouchSpaceWiz50.apk so I deleted it and went and tried to replace it with the one I've downloaded except I couldn't give it the permission and I got an error message that says I can't change some system files permissions.
so I ended up without the file TouchSpaceWiz50.apk in my System/app directory not to mention that I wasn't able to go to the home screen.
so I turned off the phone and on again only to find out that the phone is frozen on the boot animation screen, it doesn't keep rebooting just stuck at the boot animation that keeps playing.
I was able to fix this problem by re-installing the custom ROM from my SD-Card. but the main questions is why I wasn't able to change the theme via ROM Toolbox Lite when I have a custom Rom that includes ThemeChooser? and why the other apps didn't work as well? and is there another way to install themes? because I wasn't able to find any. and thanks in advance.
I am sorry if my post is so long I just wanted to explain what happened in details.
