[Q] Custom Boot Animation not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I created this boot animation for use with CM7.2, but it doesn't work (nothing is displayed, just a black screen).
What have I done wrong?

I can't check the zip for you now. Did you create the zip file without compression? Store only I think it's called.

Yep no compression, "store"

Anyone?

I found your mistake. There needs to be a blank line after you do all of you typing. So just press enter after your last line of text. And also you had some formatting issues. I made some corrections to your files and have uploaded them. Download here http://db.tt/khZ5paoN. I can not test to see if this works due to miui crap. Hope this helps

When I attempt to extract your edited .zip file, 7Zip gives an "unsupported compression method" error.

Ok, I went back and recompressed the zip file. This time it is actually compressed not in the store file method you need to have it work. Download it here https://www.box.net/shared/mvn3hqfk1saape6tlgq7. This is actually a good time for me to start using some of the 50 gb that I got for free from box. So after you download it you will need to compress it again.

[HOW TO] CRT-Effect only

This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself
DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root
1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)
2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)
3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too )
4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".
5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one
You must reboot to make it work!
*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.
If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine

Would you like to explain step 5 a bit further? I'm a bit confused. I'm using apk manager and it asks me a bunch of things and you don't tell me where to overwrite the arsc-file, etc.

Ah, so sorry.
Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file
If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.
Not trying to be rude, I'm just in a little hurry
I'll ask a mod later if he can move on of my posts up, and then I can perhaps create a more user friendly guide

I read your thread, and know what you posted.
What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.

Hmm...I don't have a res/values folder (just res, there is no values). There is also no Books.xml anywhere in the apk. I'm on stock rooted KE7...Is the value somewhere else on my version? Am I doing something wrong?

And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc
do i have to do that?
also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file
original apk file size = 8.05 mb
complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb
is that normal?

[Q] Anyone knows how to make the bootanimation play in landscape mode? (fullscreen)

I'm trying to create my own bootanimation and was wondering if any of you guys know how to make it play in landscape mode?
I'm not aware of any way using the desc.txt so you'll probably just have to rotate the images.
Yup. Have to rotate images.

ok, i have another problem. I been reading different tutorials on how to make my own boot animation but when my bootanimation.zip into the system/media. I restarted the phone and the animation is just blank then the phone just loads up. I had the files as .png but it didn't work so I changed them to jpg and still nothing.

Without downloading your files, (I am at work and don't have the time right now), I would say you probably did not zip the files correctly.
1. Download and install 7-Zip.
2. Highlight your boot animation files, (CTRL or SHIFT and left click).
3. Right click on selected files.
4. Select 7-Zip > Add to archive.
5. Set Archive Format to Zip and Compression Level to Store.
6. Name your zip file accordingly (e.g. bootanimation).
7. Click OK.
Your bootanimation.zip should now be zipped correctly.

OK, I did the work for you. It was the way you zipped the boot animation up. Here is the working animation:

I found that editing the desc.txt file to make sure that there is a 'return' after the last line cures alot of the issues, and making sure you're zipping in 'store' mode..

Crashing after modifying fusion.apk

Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?

Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.

Sorry I am total newbie at this. I downloaded the zip file from the dropbox link to my computer. I unzipped it. Inside I see two folders and three individual files but non is with an apk extension.
The two folders are named: Meta-Inf, and Res. The three individual files are AndroidManifest, class.dex, and resources.arsc.
I also tried to put the entire zipfile into my phone's memory and install from there. But since it's a zip I had to open view it with ezfile. Also no luck from there.
Should I just change the zip extension to apk?

[12/20/2013] Updater Script / How to for flashing aroma based roms

Updated 12/20/2013
I have had some people ask about how to use an aroma based rom with our safe strap recovery. I have attached a zip file to the post that contains the "meta-inf" folder that goes into the archive of your rom. In theory, this should work on any SM-9005 rom or T-Mobile rom.
Prerequisites: Root - Busy Box - Safe Strap Recovery
Choose your Rom Slot and prepare it before starting ( build the system.img and userdata.img ) Instructions are HERE
Wipe system and data from recovery. Data is optional. If you wipe date, you will have to change your APN settings, network mode, time and region settings,etc....
1. Open your "Rom".zip with 7zip. Do not extract, only open!
2. Delete the "meta-inf" folder from the archive.
3. Take any apps in the aroma (maybe called something different i.e. xnote) folder that you want to keep and move them to the system/app folder in the archive.
4. Delete aroma folder from archive when finished.
5 extract the attached zip that contains the new "meta-inf" folder. File is here The extracted zip folder is named the same as the folder within the zip. You need the folder "meta-inf" folder INSIDE the zip, not the extracted folder that was just created. I know this is confusing!
6. Copy this folder to the rom with 7zip.
7. You should now only have 2 folders ( system and meta-inf ) inside the archive. Close archive and copy to phone to flash.
8. Download this file to phone. This is the second file to flash. It fixes all current issues in one package.
9. Flash Rom.zip first and then flash file from step 8. No need to reboot between flashes.
10. Reboot and let rom load.
Everything I have tested now works including NFC, WiFi, BT, All SPen functions including snote, screen write, and action memo. Bluetooth Tethering with Gear is working. Also corrected the music bug and Video chat on hangouts. By not wiping data, proper APNs are saved. If you need to wipe due to problems, you will need to load your APN settings manually.

So in the case of using x-note 6.0 which folders would i actually keep from the x-note folder? Im assuming i dont need the recovery and kernal folders but im not sure about the others. Hope this isnt a stupid question.

When you're done you will have only the meta-inf folder from this post and the system folder. The xnote folder is for aroma. You will need to take what you want out of there and move to the system/app folder.

Sorry I probably should have clarified alittke better. Say I wanted to keep all of the aroma features which one do I save out of the folder. I don't actually see a folder titled "aroma".

Try this, when you pull your pen out - it shows the little pie menu for things you can do. The first one is the action memo thing I believe.
Make the note come up and write a number down. Then click on the action button, "the one that selects whatever you wrote" then try to message that to a contact, If your Spen apps are working, you wont get stuck on "Recognizing" forever..Does that work for you?

I have the same problem. Perhaps a bug? Quick Google search showed this thread with same problem not related to this rom.

Was able to fix this issue on x note 6.0
Handwriting Recognition works now
The en_US folder was missing from the VODB folder which is the language settings for handwriting recognition.
Extract the zip attached and copy the en_US folder to :system/VODB
Set permissions same as other folders and reboot.

Installing Xnote 6.0
Here is how i installed Xnote 6.0 using SS by @Hashcode
Make a back up of stock rom before starting. These files will be flashed to the stock rom partition.
I recommend starting from a fresh odin with root and safe strap installed.
Wipe system from recovery but do not wipe data. this will retain your APN settings, etc....
1. Open your Xnote6.0.zip with 7zip. Do not extract, only open!
2. Delete the "meta-inf" folder from the archive.
3. Take any apps in the aroma (maybe called something different ie: xnote) folder that you want to keep and move them to the system/app folder in the archive.
4. delete aroma folder,It is called Xnote.
5 extract the attached zip that contains the new "meta-inf" folder. File is here
6. Copy this folder to the rom with 7zip.
7. Open system/VODB and copy the folder "en_US" from this zip file.
8. Close archive and copy to phone to flash.
9 Download this file to phone. This is the second file to flash.
10. Flash Xnoterom.zip and then flash file from step 9. no need to reboot between flashes.
11. Reboot and let rom load. go to xnote settings and then to update and download the fix for music and games from the dropbox link in the update app.
12. reboot and go to safestrap recovery. Install the downloaded fix file.
Reboot and profit!
Dont think i missed any steps, if something is not right, please let me know!

No problem, if something is not working right just let me know and i will troubleshoot it for you. Ive been through it a couple times and seems pretty stable for me. Flashing to the stock rom partition is the way i always did it in the past on every other device, so just back up and flash away as far as i am concerned. :laugh:
Glad to see this is working for you, what about language and settings?? Does screen write with the spen actually save a picture how its supposed to and not FC?

Alrighty then. I'm home and about to do this this

Confirmed, everything works perfect doing this method. I tried earlier with an Updater script from an international stock rom, and that did not go well...
Anyone want to put it all together and have a download link? I won't be home till Saturday and would love to flash x note much sooner lol. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?
Stickied with my post-it-note 3
Does everything work? Ex. Language and input settings?
