Hey all,
Just upgraded my att s2 to a tmobile s4 and currently in process of customizing it deeply. It is already rooted and I already changed the boot animation. However, im a bit stuck on the shutdown, as the folder all state at media\shutdown does not exist. There is no shutdown folder on this tmobile folder but found the shutdown qmg fike in the bin folder.
How do I change the shutdown if this model doesnt point to it as the source? Flashing zip or manually creating it doesnt do anything.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks for reply. That is mainly for the boot animation, which I already have changed. My problem is that most threads on this state to replace the shutdown files in media/video/shutdown. However, I don't have the /shutdown subdirectory. I just have the shutdown.qmg file in another directory.
Can't seem to replace the shutdown animation as a result.
Thanks,

the /shutdown directory all threads keep referencing. I don't have that and as previous post stated, I only have that qmg file there and no directory. So I guess my question now is how to I generate a qmg file out of an animation? The animation consists of the 26 image files they all state to replace in the /shutdown directory that does not exist.
Thanks

Ok. Do this. Go to the the Android section for roms. Find Insanity V4....scroll down to mod section. Look for Sick Boot Animation. Download it and flash in recovery.
Im at work and cant give u a link.

Yes I read the post.
You cannot mount mmcblk0p4 (param partition) on the SGS3.
Mount gives an I/O error.

Uh...not what I asked. The boot logo is on the param partition (mmcblk0p4).
How do I mount mmcblk0p4 so I can change the boot logo. The method for the SGS2 does not work - it uses /dev/block/stl6 which does not exist on the sgs3.
Can somebody post the boot sounds for power on and power off (shut down)?
Thanks.

What do I do if its not Odexing my ROM after I use it?
Perhaps you should read up on what Odex is.

Click to expand...

Stock Android implements an odex file structure, with odex meaning “optimized” dalvik executable file. As your likely aware, Android apps on your device are packaged as .apk files. That all being said, what this means is that for pretty much all of your apks there is a corresponding odex file. This goes for the framework files in .jar format as well.
For instance, on a non-rooted phone you’ll find
system/app/Phone.apk
as well as
system/app/Phone.odex
But what exactly are these odex files?
Well, when the Android OS needs to run your apps or utilize framework components, it has to parse (read/interpret) the compressed data stored in the .apk and/or .jar files. Having an odex file structure expedites this process by utilizing another file, the .odex file, which includes only the most critical data in an uncompressed format so the Android OS can quickly interpret that important information before parsing through the rest of the data held within the compressed .apks and .jars. Therefore, not all of the components of an app or framework are present in one file in an odexed sile system. I’ll elaborate on why I stress that in a moment. The goal of this scheme is to boot up faster, and generally load applications more quickly and smoother.
Ok so what is deodex?
The odexed file structure works well as an optimization tool, except for in the case of theming. Odexed apps and frameworks present a unique problem to those wanting to theme because the aspect they want to theme is broken up into two files. Typically theming involves swapping out images for home made ones, however this is simply impossible in an Odexed environment. The solution is to DeOdex the file system and reunite all of the uncompressed critical data of an app or framework back into the compressed .apk or .jar file.
Thought that would help you alot better then just telling you to read up on it because i didnt know myself
Maybe this will give you some insight

Just copy the bootanimation.zip file to system/media and set the same permissions as other files and reboot. Search for the boot animation zip files in the forum and change rename it to bootanimation.zip and do as I said.

Are you making your own or using some downloaded animations? Have you checked the compression level - it must be store, or it won't work 100%.
Process:-
Open /system/app with root explorer
Copy existing file keyguardwidget.apk to some where else
Replace/copy the attached one
Change permission (Please google if you do not know how to change permission)
Reboot
If clock does not show properly. Remove and add it again.
This one is made by me but used some other existing file. Credit goes to them as well. It is perfectly working for ML4 but should be working with all 4.3 firmware
Added the font file if you want to use it. I foget from whom I collected this file. No credit to me.
Process:-
Remove the .txt from last of the file and save it
Take back up of old file under /system/Fonts folder
Replace & change permission
