Hi.
I would like to know if there's a way to have custom boot animations on android 12 already.
Are there some to download?
I tried old oos11 zips but they won't "play"
//EDIT:
So, I made a magisk zip which flashes bootanimation.zip to /system/product/media but still it doesn't play.
Maybe bootanimation.zip format is different in oos12
//EDIT:
ok... Hmmm...
Original Bootanimation files are under /my_product/media/bootanimation but I can't write there with solid explorer. Also I assume I can't make a magisk zip that writes there...
Boot animations, fonts, emojis, etc. are part of the theme in A12 and apparently cannot be changed by overwriting files like in previous versions. There is a Theme Store app for OnePlus now that has a few fonts, but there's not much else in it. Hopefully they'll expand it going forward and include boot animations like Xiaomi's theme store does, but of course that method will be limited to what's available in the Theme Store.
As far as I know, no one has found another way yet, but if you find anything that works let us know. I'm beyond bored with the limited/non-existent modding in OOS12 myself.

That's really sad. These fonts in the theme store are just bad. Guess we need a bit more digging and hopefully one finds a way to mod at least fonts and bootanimations.
When it comes to fonts, I made a bit progress, it is possible with a magisk zip to change some fonts.
//EDIT:
Here the original bootanimation.zip from /my_product/media/bootanimation/
anyone has a clue on how to make /my_product/.. writeable ?
@toolhas4degrees is there any way you could help out here? I know you have a thread on here of your bootanimations.

No it's their theme engine. Someone will have to download a theme extract it find what is controlled and located for fonts and boot animations in the theme. Then break it apart and build a new theme to apply this. I'm still on a11.but you could try doing what I just said. Reminds me of crappy Samsung days

I tried but I'm not a magisk or coding dev my attempts failed trying to mount that partition in a magisk zip but in not a magisk zip god. It would probably be easier to download a theme. Extract it and edit it.
What's the point really?
I keep my phone is always on so I don't see them really at all.
Boot animations and such are just for kids anyways.

It's personal preference in customisation of your phone and how you like it. Has nothing to do with your age. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't want to toy with my tech

So, I forgot to backup my system & framework apk's before I uploaded them into the kitchen and made a new theme. *I know, shame on me*.
Is there a default/stock for those or are they created based of individual phone information?
What i'm asking is, do I need to re-install the rom to get those back or can I just pull them from above said stock apk's?
Android: 2.3.5
Rom:Cm7(08012011)
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!!
Thanks-

i'm confused. are you saying you dont like your theme and want to go back to stock or you want you want to update to the next nightly but dont want to do the kitchen every time?
I'm not reaaal familiar with the kitchen stuff, I know more than enough to get myself in trouble (changing radio's, roms, etc) but haven't completely grasped the themes yet.
It SEEMS like a couple of things are not changing even if I create a completely new theme (The battery icon, the lockscreen buttons and something else I forget)
My thinking is, there's a generic theme(s) for the rom and when you create a get a new one, it updates certain aspects of it.
If I create a new theme in kitchen and only change the battery, wouldn't all of the other settings revert to the "default" theme?
On a completely different note-
What's the difference between ADW themes and Themechoose themes?

Ah. ok. so what ever you change in the kitchen it will change in the apk. it wont touch the rest of the apk. its kinda like an online apktool. it unpackages it changes the png's you want and then packages it up again using the resources from the apk you submitted. ADW themes are for the ADW launcher so it only themes the home screens. but Themechooser themes the whole phone, or as much as the developer of themechooser allowed it to do.
Great! Thanks
Ive searched the forums for, how to's on boot animation but there are loads of threads regarding already made boot animations and i couldn't find a tutorial.
Hi all helpfull i want to contruibute by making some, hopfully, awsome bootanimations for the sgs2 international version. some quick questions
i have found this tutorial (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide) but i cant seem to find the mentioned bootanimation zip in /system/media
Q0: is this above mentioned guide still up to date and can i use it to learn me hw to make a boot animation for my sgs2.
Q1: wich app can i use to find it? Astro file manager or do i NEED the payed app root explorer.
Q2: i also had cm 7.1 rom on my sgs2 where i found a custumbootanimation zip in a backup folder. when i tried extrating that on my windows based laptop with winzip and also with 7-zip i could not extract it. i got a message saying it wasnt a archive.WHAT am I doing wrong?
Q3: if i finnally get a working boot animation will it work on other devices such as samsung nexus or even more important will it work on future ics ROM?
what i am working on : http://www.4shared.com/folder/R5t_VY7P/_online.html
Q0, it will work
Q1, just get root explorer already
Q2, no idea I have no problems opening the bootanimation files I come across, possibly this particular file is corrupted?
Q3, its all about the screen resolution, if you have a bootanimation it has a specific resolution, the phone you wanna load it on will require that resolution or greater. If greater then it just won't fill the screen.
you need to find a rom which supports a modded bootup animation..
otherwise there will only be a bootanimation.qmg..
you cannot edit that as it is somekind of proprietary video format..
You probably wont be able on stock ROMS.. unless stated in forum

I managed to make a really nice boot up animation incorporating SSF4 with the the fei long character. ( i know i should ask for permission first at capcom side so i cant upload it as of yet, but the animated version looks sweet.)
Q:thing is my pgn images are to large in file size. I took the custom rom CM 7.1 boot animation as a compare my work. those png have a file size of not even 2KB mine are roughly 80KB. i think i should be able to convert it with IrfranView to make it go from 24-bit to 8-bit , and hopefully lose loads of file size. But i can seem to get it to work. So what is the max size for .PNG images used for startup animations.
Thank you in advance

Just thought i'd make a list of themes that were working on our i9305's maybe this could be updated/stickied.
Working/Tested - Stock ROM
None as of yet
Working/Tested - Modified ROM
MotoMoto Blue Theme
Not Working
???
I will update this as i test themes, and other users do the same as of writing this i have only tired MotoMoto theme.
Yes I was just going to let you know that MotoMoto works, Just to be safe I just Removed the FmRadio stuff out of it ZIP just incase it messes something up, but i dont think it would, if it doesnt find the file i think it skips updating the apk, so should be ok
But yeh I Flashed perfectly. No problems at all I actually like this theme
Before you flash it would be better to make sure you look at the updater_script to check mount points and also what script/setup is being used

Could we not make a unified install script based on this one, to work with other themes that "may not" work?
I think it depends how the themer has setup up his mod, if its the same kind of setup type it should be very easy, Well how about who ever is wondering about a theme mod just put requests in this thread and one of us should hopefully be able to look into it for you or who ever
Doesn't belong in dev. Moved to themes.
Can someone please test and confirm if these theme work on XXALI9

This is a cry for help, from me and the other NOOBs out here, new to the theming world with no idea where to begin.
I started out with a problem. I hate the UI on my Note Edge Lollipop, as compared to the stock Lollipop ASOP UI. I started about trying to change the entire UI (icons, menus, fonts, notification drawer, app drawer etc) to stock AOSP Lollipop UI. I am not rooted.
I AM LOST. No idea which guide to follow. Don't want to change my launcher. I would prefer not to root, would prefer not to void my warranty, would just prefer to screw around as less as possible while getting as close to stock Lollipop as possible.
And I know there are others around me. So here I am, on behalf of the noobs, requesting all experts to provide a starting point from where to begin changing the UI - completely, with as little messing around as possible. Not just to AOSP but to any other UI that someone else might prefer. Please explain this to us like we are 3 year olds.
1) Options for those who are Not Rooted.
2) Options for those who are Rooted.
Ps. This will not work if only the experts contribute. Everyone here who has something to contribute please do!
Ps. Mods I looked and searched for days. I know there are guides out there but I wanted something Note Edge and Lollipop specific.
As my contribution. I love the work that this Dev has done for the Note 4. But don't know if this will work on our devices. Also Im not rooted yet.

The new TouchWiz on the S6 has themes. Pray that they port it over to us and any other features it has like they used to do before with those Experience updates during the S3 and Note 2 periods...
Mate, there isn't actually a lot you can do for theming without rooting your device. Most themes replace icons in the system files which is impossible to access without root or without being officially supported by Samsung...
The only real way to theme your un-rooted Note Edge is to change the launcher and theme that...
My wishes seem to have been answered within a week. The new Samsung themes app is all we need. Let's hope we get it fast.

Lollipop Touchwiz Theme
Here is themes app for Lollipop touchwiz http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/touchwiz-theme-lollipop-note-4-t3037891. I tryed and it worked. Just don`t flash the zip (that makes your touchwiz home to FC). Just extract the zip and copy all content of zip`s system folder in your devices system folder as it is in zip, except Toucwiz home. Reboot and all done. Now you can change touchwiz themes as you like

Yes, notifications works just fine. And i noticed that Apex launcher too. I deleted it so i doesn`t have any clue is it pro or not. I`m not the developer of this, I just pointed you out how you can use themes

I am happy to hear of people wanting to learn hints for themselves so I am happy to pass on the knowledge.
First you must be aware of what kind of bootanimation style we have for stock Samsung, which is qmg style.
Now the thing with qmg is that the images inside the file aren't easily viewable or editable.
So the first thing I do is convert my system to read both zip and qmg files. I have created a mod that will look for a zip and use that and if the zip isn't there the system will revert to using a qmg style bootanimation.
There are tutorials for making qmg style Animations around, but personally I find that method a little more difficult as well as it limits the amount of frames you can use.
So personally I always make zip style Animations
There are probably some guides around for making zip styles as well, but I put together a quick and easy guide here
Once you finish making you zip style animation, you will need to use my mod to allow your system for zip bootanimations.
Here is the link, just be aware that there is a version for Lollipop and MM. Select appropriate version for you
Good luck
Thank you verry much for the howto . I wil go mess around with it??
