[Q] EF02 Custom Boot Animations

So I know we don't technically have custom kernels for EF02 yet but how did Marcusant get the Droid eye boot animation in Anonymous Rom i3.... I've looked in the bootanimation.zip and there's only 1 PNG file in there (a solid black image).... I'm guessing the bootanimation is in a qmg file and if so how did he edit that type of file....
I'm not the only one pulling my hair out about this and would like anyone's insight on this matter.... Thanks In Advance =D

the boot animation is prob specific to the rom and can't be changed easily...and yes i am aware of the operation to change a boot animation!

I wish he was still here to tell me his magic spell for customizing it cause this is hurting my head lol..... do you think its in the qmg file and how would I unpack the qmg?

not a clue on how to unpack it and why isn't he here anymore?

I don't want this thread closed but he didn't ask permission to modify someones software.....

Its because its no just a bootanimation.zip file, its the stock one, just rom another phone and it already supports stock ones so it was just a mater of switching out stock animations and not a custom one.

???so the Droid eye animation is stock to another phone and that's all he did.....

Yup its stock to the droid charge so its a port.

Do they work with stock roms? If not, how to adapt them? I really like the minimal blue one

The update files were meant for Lulz/Tegrak kernel so those files wouldn't work with stock rom. I also have yet to try those script on CWM as well.
The easiest path right now is to install the Lulz/Tegrak kernel via odin from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118918
Question, are you familiar with ADB? Odin? Rooting? Is your SGS2 still stock?
p.s i like the minimal blue one also

Coool! cheers!
Your boot animation package is also available with any other custom kernels that support /system/media/sanim.zip

You can also download the file unzip it copy the sanim.zip and overwrite the sanim,zip on your phone /system/media
You can use either ADB or root explorer to do this.

thx morph!! its working now without reflashing kernel..

The boot animation itself actually will work with most phone but these has been packaged to work with sanim.zip boot animation.
You can check your /system/media see if you have boot animation.zip or sanim.zip and just extract my sanim.zip to replace the file.

[Boot Logo] My custom Galaxy S III boot logo.

I just wanted to share my first custom boot logo for anyone that would like it. I know the model number font is wrong but I could not figure out the right one to replicate it so I gave up and decided if faking a new phone I can say that Samsung tried a new look.
To use this on your phone follow these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136699
Although I had to replace the mount line with this one *in the .bat file
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/.lfs

If you find the appropriate font (I also don't know what it is off by heart) then I think this will give it a more "official" look, and then it'll look 10 x better.
Thanks for sharing

Hopefully someone can tell me so I can make it look better.

why dont you just edit the images from the official android boot animation.?
I think it should be possible by finding the stock bootanimation .zip file under /system/media with root explorer. copy file to your desktop/laptop ect. then open en edit it with GIMP.
... hmmm i think.
let me know good luck

The boot logo is separate from the boot animation, but either way I was editing the originals. But that does not change the fact of creating a 2 when you don't know the font settings to use and don't want to brute force it.

Why don't you guys go the Apple way of doing things and have a Galaxy S 2S/2.5?

The closest font I found for you was Myriad Arabic. There's only very minor differences in the font. If you search the 'myriad' collection of fonts you may find it, or one event closer.
See attachment. All i've changed is the number 2, and i've copied the 'II' to make a 'III'.
The '2' could do with being a tiny bit bolder.

how do I make a shutdown .qmg file

Hello,
I have a series of png files that I want to make into a shutdown qmg file
How do I make this into one
thanks,

I am new to this too, but I came across this site that hopefully will help you.
Start from Samsung Theme Designer.
http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/overview.do?platformId=13&nacode=uk

From what I have read, .qmg is a proprietary format and you can purchase the sdk to decompile and compile your own for like a thousand bucks.. That is why you do not see any custom .qmg boot animations and why a lot of devs enable bootanimation.zip files in their roms instead of using the stock .qmg boot files. That is done from the init file on the kernel ramdisk. Hope that helps someone..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

This is probably the reason why nobody is making qmg files!

[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.

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.

bootsamsungloop.qmg
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.
