I realised when I ask questions, I always lump them into one paragraph, so I thought maybe I number them.
These questions are about boot animations.
1. What are the risks of installing/flashing a boot animation, if any?
2. For the I9305, where are the boot animations located? (I'm rooted, I searched for the files in Root Explorer, and there were some, namely bootanimation, bootsamsungloop and bootsamsung)
3. Can the boot animations that are made for other devices work on this device?
Thank you to those who answer my questions.
1. As far as i know there are no risk on putting custom boot animations since it won't replace any system files.
2. I don't know where it is really located on i9305 but it should be the same... on mine it's located on systemroot/data/local/.
(Custom boot animation requires a custom kernel by the way.)
3. I'm not quite sure on this but it may work since custom boot animations are just zip files.
OK, some more questions,
1. Do you need a custom kernel to modify the status bar and stuff?
2. I read more about boot animations, it seems that you can flash them through CWM without a custom kernel. Is that true?
3. What are the benefits and risks of flashing a custom kernel?
Hit thanks if I helped you! Sent from my awesome i9305!

1. Nope. You need a custom framework such as Jkay's framework to modify the status bar. I just don't know if jkay's framework will work on the i9305 you can try searching the forums for a custom framework for the i9305 and see if you can modify the status bar.
2. Oh right you can just flash them through cwm. Kinda forgot sorry lol.
3. Risk of a custom kernel? Hmm... i think there are none, in fact custom kernels are way more better than stock kernels in my opinion. I've been running a custom kernel 3 weeks after i got my s3 and i've not encountered a single problem so far. Benefits of running a custom kernel really depends on how you configure it.

Jkay's framework works like a charm, but with Samsung based ROM's (JB 4.1.2).
Ok, one last question (hopefully)
If I flash the stock Samsung ROM (if I feel like I want to), will all my mods I've flashed be erased, and returned to stock Samsung? Like, if I have installed boot animations, status bar mods, root, custom kernel, will all these be gone? Will I return to stock Samsung ROM like out-of-the-box? (I understand that if you flash a ROM, that is either the same ROM or an updated version of it, you wouldn't have to erase data, wipe cache to install the ROM right?) I know that CWM will not be gone, I will have to flash stock recovery, but this i'm not 100% sure.

I'm not quite sure what you mean but i think i've tried it once. I was on EMMA2 firmware and I upgraded to EMC2 via Mobile Odin Pro. I think it only kept my apps, settings and some mods but i encountered some problems so what i did it start from scratch and restored some apps by using Titanium Backup. And CWM won't be gone as long as you don't flash another custom recovery or the stock recovery.
My point here is if you want everything to go smoothly is...
1 Backup everything via Nandroid.
2. flash the stock rom
3. root it
4. Install any mod you want may it be a custom kernel, rom, framework etc.
This way you won't encounter any problems while flashing a new stock ROM. But hey my understanding could be wrong Better search the forum deeply since more users might answer your question properly.

As far as I know, restoring/flashing stock ROM will erase everything on your internal memory, cause flashing stock ROMs are trought/with Odin (*.tar or *.md5 file). So, be careful what you're doing!
But what I understand is if you flash a ROM that is an update or the same version of the ROM that you are on, your data doesn't wipe, oh well, I learnt something new today.

I used this boot enablemod install to get them working and just flash the boot files

More info here aswell, i think if the animation is not compatible you just get a black screen.

nah, flashing with odin doesn't wipe data. but you'll need to do it manually anyway, same as flashing any rom
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions! (basically everyone who posted in this thread-except me) But I have read from many places (on XDA, AndroidForums and many other places) that if you are upgrading from a ROM, or flashing the same ROM, you do not need to wipe data unless the developer asks for a wipe.
yup, I was talking about flashing a different ROM.

Do you know a good custom kernel that supports custom boot animations for i9305?
check the dev section
Anybody knows a stable custom rom for this model?

You can check the Android Development section of the forum for this device, and under the Index there are many.
What i have done in the last 24 hours:
1. Updated to 4.3 on stock ROM
2. Unlocked bootloader on my Z1
3. Flashed "PhilZ Touch 6" dual bootloader (idk what "dual means" :S) (Dec 3 2013 version)
4. Used the built in root tool in "PhilZ" to root my phone and installed the corresponding app "SuperSU"
Questions:
Does bootloaders come with a custom kernel?
My bootloaders "About" says its made for the "Z" (not Z1). Did i **** up or is this incorrect?
If i flash kernel (for my device) via CWM will i break something?
Does roms require a certain kernel?
Can i flash .img files via CWM or is it required that the file is .zip?
I see kernels on the forum that advertise being 4 kitkat, do i need to flash that kernel WITH a kitkat rom to use that kernel?
Why shuld i flash a kernel?
As CM is not officially supported on the Z1 yet is there a cool alternative rom i can use?
Thats all the Q's i came up with, hope you can help me answer my ridiculous questions and wish me luck on my first android phone! :good:
bump
I won't get my device until tomorrow, but there a few things I could explain:
Some ROMs need to have a specific kernel. You cannot use Stock kernel with Cyanogenmod, or vice versa. Custom kernels are often a good idea to flash if you want some extra optimizations, you can get extra performance and save battery life with an enhanced kernel.
As for an alternative ROM, why don't you just check out the dev forums? There are Cyanogenmod ROMs, they're just unofficial.
Also, did you back up your TA? Otherwise, you'll be in for some real big trouble.

****, i did not backup my TA. What does that mean for me?
I read in some threads that TA only gives you the option to revert back to absolute factory defaults. As i am having no problems i dont see why i would do that.
Edit: Thats wierd, my TrackID still works after unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery and rooting. Am i super lucky?

It's mostly needed for Bravia engine stuff, as well as the BIONZ image processor. I guess if you don't care too much about that, and you don't have any reason to have to go back to absolute factory settings in the case of a warranty return, then it should be fine.
I can't seem to find a recovery that will flash a rom for MY phone. I have the MetroPCS version/variant of the sgh-t599n and I really want to be able to flash a custom rom to my phone, but I can't seem to find anyone with (codinMetroPCS) files for it. The only reason I say that is because when I finally got CWM 6.0.3.2 downloaded and working, tried to flash beanstalk rom and it told me "THIS ROM IS FOR CODINALTE PHONES NOT CODINMETROPCS PHONES" Is there a different rom for the Metro phones? Or am I doing something wrong....Im rooted through cydiaimpactor, well, i guess technically through the pre-rooted stock rom I had to flash through Odin...BTW-Over the last two weeks I've learned that flashing a rom on a samsung (at least mine) takes a custom recovery, which needs to be flashed via Odin (something I didn't know how to do at the time)...I almost feel like Im starting to get confused with all these different programs needed to run or flash or download this or that....I'm not sure if the info is even in the correct order in my head......could someone please walk me through this? or call me! lmao...this is giving me a headache. lol....but I REALLY REALLY want to know what Im doing.....ANYONE?

Just flash the recovery listed in the BeanStalk thread.
There's 3 variants of the phone; T599, T599N, T599V (codinatmo, codinametropcs/codinanewcotmo, codinavid) they're pretty much the same exact phone, there's just slight differences in proprietary files - so the developers decided to unify the all of them into one (codinalte), as it's easier to build for one phone then three seperate times. The recovery's responsible for the phone; which is why the recovery plays a key-role, basically the recovery you have right now can only accept roms that are specifically 'titled' as codinametropcs, and by flashing that recovery, you'll be able to flash any of the 4.4.x roms (BeanStalk, Vanir, OmniROM, CM, AOKP, and soon pure-vanialla AOSP).
ok so....

Thank you....now....I think I've actually gotten this far already.....had cwm installed...then tried to flash beanstalk with cwm and I got the codin error saying "this is not for codinmetropcs" ...if I get that problem again...is there something conflicting with it in some way? Or where did I go wrong? do i have to have twrp?

But just saw that the cwm I downloaded from the beanstalk thread says its for kitkat builds only. My phone is running 4.1.2..does that matter? or does that mean I just need a 4.4 rom to be flashed with it? Sorry if these are dumb questions

It's cool; it just means you can only flash 4.4 roms, so you cannot flash cm10.1, cm10.2, and pac. It doesn't matter that your phone's running 4.1.2.

You need to provide a lot more information if you want some help. What firmware are you on? What version of SafeStrap did you install? What ROM did you try to install? What steroids did you take? Which modules did you flash? Does your stock ROM boot?
Always provide as much information as possible, it will increase your chances of getting help.

Let me try, because I think I have the same issue. I'm running 4.4.2, and I used safestrap 3.73 to create a rom slot and install Hyperdrive. I wiped everything it said to before I installed it, and installed the latest masterpatch after and rebooted. When it rebooted, it appears to have gone into my stock ROM. Everything is the same, except my network doesn't work because it says my SIM card isn't inserted. Any ideas?

You cannot use ROM slots with SafeStrap 3.73. You have to install ROMs to your stock ROM slot overwriting your stock ROM. So make a backup before you flash anything. The developer of SafeStrap took a new job and had to abandon development before he could fully implement ROM slots on 4.4.2. I know it's difficult to find but the information is there. Thank you for trying to find it before posting.
EDIT: just so you're aware, I'm still on 4.2.2, so I haven't actually had any experience with SafeStrap on 4.4.2. I'm just relaying information I've read. So definitely do some reading before you do anything in case I'm wrong. If you have more questions I'll do my best to answer them, but make sure you fact check me because i wouldn't want to brick your phone.

Yeah, if that information is out there, it's pretty deep. Like, Mariana's Trench deep. At least now it'll be up front. So basically, SafeStrap is a custom recovery in itself, bypassing the need for an unlocked bootloader?

SafeStrap does not bypass the bootloader, it loads after the kernel loads so there is no way to install a custom kernel. This means that you can only use ROMs that are compatible with your stock kernel, no AOSP ROMs and no CM. You can only use TouchWiz-based ROMs.

That is the way it was intended to work, but Samsung changed some things in 4.4.2 and the developer didn't have time to reimplement ROM slots before he left.

I got it working. I have the 4.4.2 kernel and the Graviton ROM flashed after using Safestrap to make a backup. After I flashed the rom, I wiped dalvik and cache, flashed the master patch v.2, wiped again, and rebooted. Everything works except the stock camera app, which I'm currently looking for a fix.

DONT TRY OVERWRITING YOUR STOCK ROM SLOT WITH HYPERDRIVE ROM. YOU WILL LOSE SAFESTRAP AND IT BREAKS CAMERA WIFI,basiclly your phone wont work. Ive done it ant now have a s4 active paperweight. Ive tried odin and all the tar,pit and rar files you can find. NOTHIN WORKS. Before any1 says take it to bestbuy....i did. Kies and all the merry samsung reps culdnt put it back together.

You need to flash the modules after flashing the ROM to get everything working again. Make sure you do it before you allow Hyperdrive to boot for the first time.
Also, in order to use Odin you cannot have Kies installed.

stock non rooted, then flash the factory image. besides that, there wont be any unrooted stock roms. most real roms are made with aosp, not stock. since thete is no usable code to build stock. so, they take stock roms, take them apart, and add supersu to it and other stuff. they dont actually "build" stock roms.

Because I need to install as multiboot I can only install a zip file in recovery... I can only use fastboot for the primary rom which I don't want to touch...
To be honest I don't care if the rom is stock or aosp as long as it's not rooted... That's all that matters.

well, there are many aosp roms, the majority of them are not rooted until you flash the supersu file as well. terminus is my favorite one. one question, why do you need a non rooted rom? if its for a business or for an app, you will appear rooted until you flash the factory image.

So you are telling me even if I install this terminus rom and I don't root I won't be able to use the app?

since you are on multiboot, i honestly dont know. i do know that many have to unroot to use certain apps, so the get rid if root. but the apps usually think they are still rooted, until they flash the factory image. anyways, good luck!
You could try using a root cloak.
Problem already resolved.
