If you don't have adb, take the bootanimation.zip and using es file manager, root explorer, ect, move the .zip to the folder: /system/media . As for the splash you need to simply rename that zip file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader, accept the terms, then reboot.

It says can not complete copy.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You have to make sure you have r/w enabled for both root explorer or es file manager.
In root explorer, the button is at the top, in es file manager, go to settings, then scroll down.

Still no go. After reboot

Verified that you have s-off, and the bootanimation.zip is good?

Yes on s-off. How do I verify zip

Well you could use an md5 checker...but more importantly, the zip was from a reputable place, and its known to work, by other people downloading it.

Is the file named bootanimation.zip , just like that?

Make sure its named bootanimation.zip, also if using root explorer to copy paste after you pasted it on system/media, go ahead and long press it and select permissions, give it full permissions just to make sure

Weird..Make sure its bootanimation.zip and not bootanimation.zip.zip cuz that's what happen to me I didn't pay attention to detail

{TUT} How to Odex your APKs.

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute
--x----x------x
--x-----------x
--x-----------x
I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)

Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.

....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom

Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.

4.2 emoji keyboard

Does anybody have the emoji keyboard 4.2 file?

Have you checked the zip to seeing there's an apk inside? You may need to manually push it to /system/app and set permissions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Just out of curiosity, do you have to be rooted and running a custom rom to use the Emoji keyboard? Also, Will this allow you to see Emoji everywhere they are use ei Twitter, instagram?

Yes the zip has an apk inside but I didn't push it to system because it also has libs and other files inside that I don't know how to install and where to put.

I don't think they've worked all the kinks out of that cam for all roms yet. Current workaround is to tap to focus before each shot, or shoot in action mode. See if that works for ya.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Working fine here on my end. Very nice too. I dig it.
For those of you having trouble flashing... just extract the two .apks from the zip with a file explorer, and also the lib file... we'll make this simple and I'll tell you just copy all files to the directories indicated below:
Copy the two apks to /system/app/ directory...
Now copy the lib file to /system/lib/ directory...
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions.
Success.

same here, using es file explorer i allowed permissions and downloaded the zip file. I changed the zip file to bootanimation.zip and moved it to system/media and then changed the permissions back. Basically toggling es file explorer off so that it doesn't have write permissions and rebooted. The animation looks great. Now that i know how to do this i want to find more to try out lol.
Now if we can figure out how to change the tmobile power down animation.

I modified that boot ani for the note 3 and added an extra animation within it. Runs smooth. Try this out

You just need to change the FPS in the desc.txt file from 10 to 15 and save and re-zip it up using store compression.

I changed the desc.txt file from 10 to 15 frames per seconds so it works on faster booting phones. If you need it faster, I can change it to 20 just let me know. http://d-h.st/1m1

Flashable zip or push it to system?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium

Push it to system\media. If you dont feel comfortable doing that, then you can download the app "Boot Animations" from the play store. Select local and browse for the zip file and then click on it and you should have the option for install.

Looks awesome,
I am running wicked 5, it's boot is using qmg, how do I install this?
thank you in advance

What I had to do to deactivate the qmg from being the boot animation was download and install this boot animation from kevinrocksman:
http://goo.im/devs/kevinrocksman/Bootanimations/Note3/Sprint/Flashable/BiosFlashable.zip
This install is an aroma installer so you will install it through recovery. No need to clear cache or dalvik. I know this isn't the boot animation you want, but it does something to deactivate the qmg boot. So once this is done and you reboot, you should be able to copy your bootanimation to system\media. Just make sure the name of the file is bootanimation.zip and set the permissions to (rw-r-r-) and reboot. Should work now.
