Why my phone don't read the bootanimation files zipped by me?

Did you manually placed the zip folder in /system/media/ or tried to flash the zip folder through recovery mode ?

I placed the original bootanimation.zip in system/media or in data/local. It works. If I unzip this file and zip them again the phone don't read this .zip.

The bootanimation has to zipped in "store" form, and not"compress" form...
If you compress, it won't work...
Typed using a small touchscreen

How can I make a zip file without compression? I've zipped automatically with winzip or with Root Explorer.

Use a tool called Boot Animation Creator !
That's much easier
Cheers

Thank you. I've resolved all. With Root Explorer must create a tar archive without compression and rename the file .tar in bootanimation.zip
With winzip must before specified "none" on compression setting
Thank you again!

Sorry, with root explorer it's not possible. Erroneously I've placed another .zip.
But with winzip it's possible. I made a custom animation with a personal movie. It works great!

Installing fonts from zip file

Ok this is a silly question but I downloaded and unzipped a font file for the Vibrant using file explorer. I extracted the fonts but don't know where they go to use them on my phone.
What folder do I need to put them in?

[Q] rar files being downloaded as .bin

Whenever I download a rar file, it just shows up as a .bin on both the notification bar and in root explorer. Is there a setting I need to change to allow rar files tobe downloaded?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
There's no reason why you would need to, usually just changing the extension works for me.
*note* there has to be something in front of the .bin for it to work in a lot of cases "randomname.bin" for example

You shouldn't even have to change the extension. I use unrar pro, point to the file using estrongs file explorer and it extracts the contents.

You need a file manager capable of decompressing RARs, like AndroZIP:

Sorry, you can't unzip a rar file, just unrar it. You can however unzip a zip file.

Copy "BootSamsung.qmg" "BootSamsungloop.qmg"
to your pc. change the file extension to .zip and then open with Winrar . You will see a series of numbered images. Edit them or replace them with your image inside winrar. Save it .
Now change the extension .zip to original .qmg and transfer them on phone. set the permission .
