Bootanimation Q: - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

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

The GS3 doesn't support the traditional .zip bootanimations. It's a specific file type called .qmg. You can Google .qmg, and look into a way to try to re-package, but you won't be able to use any of the traditional ways of changing bootanimations, and I have not yet found anything in here supporting changing the .qmg animations.

[How-to] Change background of smart cover window of Find7a; flashable zip included

DISCLAIMER
Flash at your own risk.
INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone, This is my first time posting my own thread, I've been lurking around these forums since the release of Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) ,my first android phone. I've learnt to flash custom roms, root devices, etcetera. This is my first time I've extracted and repacked an apk file.
Anyways, I've learnt how to change the background wallpaper of the Smart Cover app whilst the cover is on the phone. I've used this site as my source; http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/m...-sfondo-per-le-custodie-easy-cover-etc.17149/
Credits goes to the author for the original apk and zip files. I am no app developer neither am I proficient in creating custom scripts or apk files. I just repacked the apk and zip files and replaced the jpg files located here:
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-hdpi\window_bg.jpg
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-xxhdpi\window_bg.jpg
​The first 3 flashable files were created by the aforementioned author from the linked forum.
INSTRUCTIONS
I flashed this using the custom ROM, Kulay OS v1.1 on my Find 7a X9006, on CWM Philz Touch Recovery 6.42.2.
I believe you will not face any problem using the stock ROM on any Custom Recovery.
First download the attached 7zip file, then extract
Choose your preferred flashable zip based on the attached screenshots in this thread
Copy it in the internal/External SD card of your phone
Reboot into recovery
Perform a wipe cache and Dalvik-cache (you will not lose your settings and apps installed)
Select the zip file you downloaded earlier and flash
Reboot the phone

Gesendet von meinem Oppo Find 7
Hi leihuwan,
Thanks for the fine work. Working fine on my 9076, but it doesn't wake the screen when i open the smart cover. I have to double tap to wake it. Although not a big problem, would be nice to see a fix for it.
Once again thank you.
P.S tried four of your mods and the problem persists on all of them.
Hey,
I love this, thanks a lot! I always use BG 01, it's perfect.
However, it does not wake the device anymore if you use the new ColorOS 2.0.0i
Will you fix this? I'd love to continue using it, but if it prevents the device from waking up I can't
Thanks for this !
Each one of them, so much nicer than the stock one...
Great job.

What version of ColorOS are you using? Have you tried setting screen lock to None at Settings > Safety & Privacy > Screen Lock?

I am terribly sorry. Truthfully I am not a programmer and my knowledge in coding and packaging APK files is very limited. I only translated the instructions I've discovered at oppoforums seen at the link at OP. Maybe they changed something in the apk of the official ColorOS 2.0 release. If someone more knowledgeable than me is present, feel free to chime in.

Alright, thanks.
I read what you did and fixed the problem myself since it's pretty easy.
I took the original OppoLeather.apk of ColorOS 2.0.0i and modified the background of it and put it in your .zip
This works without problems for me and the device now wakes up properly. Yes, they did some changes to it in 2.0.0i.
If anyone else wants it, in the attachment is a working flashable .zip for ColorOS 2.0.0i with Background picture 1 of the original post.
please help...

Find the oppoleather.apk (it's somewhere in the /root partition of the phone)
copy it to your computer
rename it from .apk to .zip
you can now open it with any zip browser.
Replace the window_bg.jpg in /res/drawable-hdpi and /res/xxhdpi with a picture of your choice.
Make sure your picture is also a .jpg, has the exactly same name and resolution.
After you replaced the pictures in the .zip you can close your file browser and rename the file into .apk
Your apk is now modified.
To flash it:
Download any of the flashable .zip's the creator of this thread put up.
when you have a flashable .zip open it.
In there will be the OppoLeather.apk and some other files. Replace the OppoLeather.apk with your modified .apk.
Make sure your apk has the exact same name as the one you're replacing it with.
After replacing you can close your file browser and copy the modified flashable .zip on your phone.
Now you only have to flash it (see instructions in first post).
Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I have a question concerning this little mod. I recently got the N3 and since the cover had a square window, the default easy cover window of the OPPO N3 is a circle.
So, I decided to flash one of the modified packages provided by the op and they work great. However, there is a slight misalignment - unsurprisingly - due to the resolution and size differences between the 7/7a and the N3. What I would like to know, is whether it is possible to to decompile and modify the apk, in order to place the small window screen a bit higher. I have decompiled the apk myself, but I haven't yet figured which string to modify.
A small help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can do it manually with a root enable file browser.
Find the OppoLeather.apk in /system/app/Oppoleather, copy it into your phone storage then transfer it to your computer, open the apk with 7-Zip, navigate to find window_bg_circle (.png or jpg), extract it, modify the picture while keeping its dimensions, put it back into the apk, transfer the apk in your phone storage. With the file browser, change the suffix of the original OppoLeather.apk into .bak, copy the modified apk into the /system/app/Oppoleather folder, modify its permissions according to the old file (i.e. rw-r--r--). That's it.
Thanks on behalf of many owners here. It's rare to see someone reply to something in such a helpful manner and in plain english instead of abbreviated jargon

Eden of the East Boot Animation [SAMSUNG PORT] [Requires Root]

Many of you know that to get ZIP animations working on our phone (SM-G360T1) that we have to go through hell. So instead of going through the hell, I've simply followed a guide and managed to port Eden of the East boot animation to 480x800. Remember this requires root guys!
[INSTRUCTIONS]
1. Download bootanimation.zip and extract files.
2. Move downloaded files to /system/media and overwrite existing files
3. Change permissions to RW ~ R ~ R
And that's it! Congratulations you now have the boot animation.
[ADDITIONAL INFORMATION]
I'd like to thank @bogarty for his awesome guide to make QMG boot animations. I'd also like to let people know at request at may or may not port your boot animation to samsung QMG. Even if it's the wrong screen resolution I can port it.
thanks for sharing this dud but a screenshort would be better if u share it

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??

Question [A12] systemless boot animations possible?

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
