[Q] Matrix boot animation?

So I know I've seen a matrix style boot animation for other phones but is there one for the Dinc? If not is there anyone that wants to make one or port one from another phone =) ?? I have no idea how to make one or port one myself. Also I don't know if it matters but I am on Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 (are all boot animations compatible with all roms?).

I like this idea. I think it would be great if someone could make one.

Yes, any boot animation made for the Incredible will work no matter what rom you have on it. The only differences are the file locations for the boot animation & sound on 2.1/2.2 are different from each other.

perfect. thanks!

Awesome, I got those files downloaded but I can't figure out how to get them to work... I looked in the forum at the thread that says to put the zip file in the /system/customize/resource using root explorer and then rebooted but it just reverted to the previous boot animation i loaded from rom manager ... ???

You need to put the file in /system/customize/resource and rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip

It depends on your Rom as to where you put it. I use SkyRaider 3.0 RC3 and I have to put it into /system/media and you also need to name it bootanimation.zip

Prefect, thanks I am using sr3 rc3 so that's exactly what I needed!

So for those who want the set up like I have it, get which ever color you want from the link above (I use the blue) and you can also grab this audio file (matrix theme song I got off of mabilo ringtones app) and put them in your /system/media folder.
**Note, this is for people rockin the sky raider roms. Also make sure the zip file is named bootanimation.zip and the audio file is android_audio.mp3 (not sure if it has to be that for the audio but that's the way I tested it and it works).

Is there anyway to combine this with the new Incredible boot animation? I think that would look so cool with the red matrix boot, then the new Incredible boot. Excellent job by the way, the animations are top quality. I've attached both animations for anyone who may know how to do this.

Anyone have functional bootanimation installed on dinc2?

Does anyone have a functional boot animation for the dinc2? The reason I ask is I have created bootanimations for other android devices but am having major trouble trying to get one to work on the dinc2. If you have had success with this, maybe you can help.

I am using one I used from my Inc1 just fine.

Can you give me a run down of the steps? I used note++ to edit the desc.txt file and zipped the files using "store" compression. Am I missing something?

why are u editing that.. it's just bootanimation.zip..

Well you have to edit the desc file to tell it how many times to loop/play etc.......

I put in one last night that I found in another thread, on my rooted stock FY. Make sure to put it in /system/rcustomize/resource and name it VZW_bootanimation.zip, if that's what you are using

ill try that lowfire. Thanks

[Q] How to change the boot sound?

Hello All,
I know this question was already raised by many but I dont see an appropriate answer to this.. I searched the whole forum but I didnt get a proper method of how to enable the sound file(mp3) saved in the bootanimation.zip. I got following thread which was quite useful but not totally..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22773156
Can anyone give me a proper method of how can I enable and change the boot sound please?
I saw some nice thread for moto droid but it has different format than that of Arc. So please we need similar kind of procedure for arc.. thanks..

Boot Animation Changer LITE - Market
Here ya go. It worked on my ZTE Blade, but the volume is extra loud.
It's not the same though.

the media folder has the files in it .. just change it to whatever you want

No, you are not getting me.. The application u told has in built list of animations but I dont want the animations.. I already have many animation zip files but I want to know how to add a sound file to it and how to enable it.. ?

Dude... Check it out... The name of the app is Bootanimation Changer, but it can also change the sounds!

Ok.. I understand that it also changes the sound but I wont to set my own sound n not the one which comes with the built in bootanimations in that list of the app.. I hope u got me now.. I dont see any option in the app where I can set my own sound..

if you are rooted then navigate to system/media find the bootanimation you want you use.
unzip file
insert sound files.
rezip
This might help not 100% sure.
I have not tried it dont know if it will work.

I think you just put a mp3 file called "bootanim.mp3" inside the bootanimation.zip file: -
* Extract the file some-where on your pc.
* put bootanim.mp3 in the same folder as desc.txt (this is the root of the extracted file).
* re-create the zip file called bootanimation.zip BUT you must use "store" compression.
* put the new bootanimation.zip into the /system/media folder of your android device (requires a program like "root browser")
That should do it...

Change S3 Touch Sounds

Hi Everyone! So I just rooted and debloated my T-Mobile S3 and I was wondering if anyone had gotten around to changing the stock button press sounds(blip) and touch sounds(water droplet). I've been creeping the internet and I can't seem to find a credible and sure fire way to do so. Anyone able to modify it? Thanks in Advance! :laugh:

I don't know the exact file names but they should be in system/media/audio/ui. The file names will give you some idea of the event that triggers the sound.
Sent from my SGH-T999

How would you get the .ogg format from say.. an mp3 or something? If you can do that you can probably give it the same name TW_Touch.ogg and it should play the new sound. I agree it would be nice to replace it. I bet someone on here knows how to get that format. :good:

Audacity is a free sound editing program that lets you convert your WAV/MP3 to .OGG
what is the path directory to the sounds? I've been looking through it and I can't seem to find it. I must be blind.

I really like audacity. I used to use it to make my ring tones and notification sounds and looks like I'll be using it again!

Hi Everyone! So I got it working! super excited with my new interface sounds
Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Have a File Explorer with ROOT access
2. Navigate to system/media/audio/ui
3. Choose the sound you want to replace (I edited S_HW_TOUCH.ogg and TW_TOUCH.ogg)
4. Save a backup of the sounds and replace them with your unique .ogg sound files (use a program like audacity to convert your sound file to .OGG)
5. Restart your phone.
6. PROFIT!
Happy Modding Everyone. Thanks are appreciated! :highfive:

Can you post your new sound? Where did you get it from?

The only one that upsets me is the water droplets lol, I need something else. I was going to go with a CM9/10 but nothing I like really... maybe the SGS II has some nice ones?

I really dislike the water droplets as well. Those were among the first i've changed. I believe they are the LOCK.ogg and UNLOCK.ogg

I'm on my phone so I can't search very well. Did anyone find where the dialer sound was?
I looked in the phone apk and only found two sound files, neither of which was the dial pad sound

[MOD] Custom Boot Animations

Hi All,
These are some custom boot animations for our S6 / Edge, These are not my work
I have simply re-packaged them, with our stock Samsung boot and shutdown animations so they are ready for our devices and can be flashed via a custom recovery, or even just copied via a Root file manager.(see below) I have also made a boot sound disabler and re-enabler.
Samsung decided to use a propitiatory file format for their boot animations so we can not use standard boot animations that we would normally use......
Fortunately there are some great guys here on XDA who have made some .qmg boot animations for us
All Thanks should go to Kachowpow, he has compiled the most comprehensive list of qmg based boot animations in his Thead which is where I found most of these.
He has a S6 now as well, so we can expect to see a new thread in here soon with all the boot animations he has created and hopefully some new ones
If there one you like on there and need it packaging let me know, or even request for new sound(and maybe animations)
I will try to add more plus some images in the morning if requested, but most can be seen on the original thread and theres no point repeating them as some of them are huge(250mb+) unless someone want a flashable version like the ones attached,
If you don't have a custom recovery, simply extract:
qmg's to system\media
ogg's to system/media/audio/ui
and set the permissions
(I would back up the originals first if I were you)
SantinoInc said:
Dude I cracked the case! I finally found the actual boot animation file for my Sprint Edge:
XAS_bootsamsung.qmg
XAS_bootsamsungloop.qmg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tip: Some of these have both boot and shutdown animations integrated in them, so if you are wanting a different shutdown animation flash this second.
Also sprint normally puts a spr_ prefix before the file name so you won't be able to flash these and if copying manually put the spr_ before each qmg file name.
Due to our high res screen some animation may look distorted or pixelated, we just need to find/make some higher res ones.but some have speculated this would cause massive slowdown..
Hopefully this will just be the beginning of customizing our phones.
Any question, let me know.
As always this is dedicated to all of you and your hard work that makes this community great.

A quote from the original poster - You need to go thank him if you use any of these:
KachowPow said:
A few notes to start, there are 4 files that I tend to use within the Bootanimations which are:
1) Bootsamsung.qmg = this is the large file that holds/starts the bootanimation
2) Bootsamsungloop.qmg = this is a rather small file can either loop or end the bootanimation
3) PowerOn.ogg = this is file that plays sound during the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg.
4) Shutdown.qmg = this is a mid-size file that plays a bootanimation as the device turns off, best way to activate is to select Power-> then reboot
While shutdown.qmg’s can be customized to work on different bootanimations, I have developed some bootsamsungloop.qmg’s to function separate of the bootsamsung.qmg, this allows the ability to fully customize the bootanimations that you would prefer to view. These QMG’s are listed in a Category called Intermezzo’s as they are Interchangeable without interrupting.
​A few things to keep in mind.
A custom Bootanimation works best with a custom ROM, it simply does, Stock ROMs do not finish the same, often times the System will perform an “Apps Update.”
There is usually a delay between the loading of the Bootanimation and after the Safestrap loading screen appears.
QMG files have limitations some will not be as clean as Flashable Bootanimations, while others will present better.
Bootanimation’s require the use of both bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (using one without the other will produce undesirable results.)
Please, give credit where due, there are many Bootanimations here, if I left someone out please let me know, if you want to post my work, please extend the courtesy.
CREDITS:
I give credit to xessus for his instruction and guidance with the Samsung Theme Designer program and QMG Formatting. Also, a Special Thanks to JaeKar99 who is the "Original Bootanimation Designer" that created large portion of these bootanimations seen here, I have reformatted them for our viewing pleasure!
With so many Bootanimations it is often hard to remember all of the sources that I pulled them from, the largest source Developer that does simply incredible work and is simply known throughout the Android community for his work is JaeKarr99 which most of the Bootanimations that appear in this LiBRaRy KoLLecTioN are his, I have simply accepted the challenge of using a difficult themeing system and configured it the best I can to keep these Bootanimations in the best form possible. This was done through the guidance of xessus as his walkthroughs and many many countless hours of attempting this work is hopefully showing a positive. Other themers I will mention are Crakanug with the Black Ops II Bootanimation, CyanogenMod with CM, BKJolly, and the many others, if I fail to recognize I apologize it is not intentional nor out of disrespect, please forgive me.

Pritt much any video file cane be made into a boot animation and sound file can also be converted to work with it . I've tested that one as well. It pretty cool.
Let me know if you have any requests

I could definitely try , the problem with this device is it stats up so fast you only get about 14 seconds of animation.

Another nice thread man. There is a "Marvel Avengers Sequence" bootanimation on the second post from the thread that you link to. All I have to do is replace the QMG files and that's it? Does it have to be edited somehow to better fit our screen?

Nothing needs to be done to it, all you have to do is copy over the QMG's to
system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
- shutdown.qmg
- bootsamsung.qmg
and sounds to :
system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg
all boot animation are automatically stretched to fit the scrren by the device
distortion will depend on the aspect ratios, if its 16:9 it will look really nice(with most of the ones on that thread are 1080 so will be perfect)
let me know if you have any problems.

I noticed that in System/Media/ I also have:
bootsamsungmini.qmg, bootsamsungmini2.qmg, bootsamsungminiloop.qmq, bootsamsungminiloop2.qmg and BST_bootsamsung.qmg, BST_bootsamsungloop.qmg and crypt_bootsamsung.qmg, crypt_bootsamsungloop.qmg
Should I just leave those other files alone? I'm guessing that the bootsamsungmini is probably Sprint's gay bootani?
Something didn't work properly because I didn't get the Marvel bootani. Now I have just the Samsung bootanimation w/o the Sprint bootani. If I had to guess I have to delete the bootsamsungmini and samsungmini2 files?
I'm afraid to fuk with it too much because I don't have TWRP and really don't want bootloops. No time to Odin back to stock ATM.

Yes, originals had the same name. Originals I renamed to xxxxx.bak.
If you have a chance take a look in your system/media folder and look at how many qmg files have the word "boot" in them. I'm seeing a bunch.

bootsamsungmini.qmg
bootsamsungmini2.qmg
bootsamsungminiloop.qmg
bootsamsungmini2loop.qmg
cryptbootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
shutdown.qmg.cover
have you tried another boot animation? just to make sure its not corrupt.

VMU & XAS bootsamsung are two others I have. The file I d/l wasn't corrupt because the boot down animation worked (once)

I want to wait till we have a solid root/recovery method before I get to far along with this stuff but I decided I couldn't hurt too much by renaming PowerOn.ogg to .bak and seeing if that would kick the annoying boot sound to the curb and sure enough it worked without a hitch.
Good thread btw, I'll be back along to revisit this after things get more solid with the fundamentals on this handset.
