Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a seperate wallpaper storage other than the gallery for miui? I only ask because I wanted to share my current wallpaper with a buddy of mine, but the pic is not in my gallery. I've checked the zedge folder, and hd wallpaper folder. Any help would be much appreciated.
Good question. The only way would be to take the .mtz theme file itself, open it via 7-Zip, and remove the wallpaper from the "Wallpaper" folder.
If you upload the theme (.mtz file) as an attachment I'll gladly extract the wallpaper for you.
Thanks for the tip. I found the backup of my current theme, and extracted it from that. Strangely enough, when i tried with 7-zip i kept getting an error about unsupported compression type. I changed the extension from .mtz to .zip, and had no problems extracting with winrar.
Hello friends, i'm wondering if i can use the animated logo (while starting the phone) in some of the rom it has a cool animated picture, can i use it as a wallpaper for the phone?
and if it is possible..where can i find the file on the device so i can select it ?
thanx alot
have a gr8 day
you can use any moving gif image with some program from the market called
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2&hl=el
or any similar program
but the bootanimation ist only a group of pictures (*.png)... so i think its not so easy to use it for livewallpaper.
bootanimation.zip shall be found in system/media or system/customize/resource/
Bootanimation is located in /system/media/ as zip file. Copy this bootanimation.zip file to your PC and extract it. You will get a few png files. Rename these png files to 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, 4.png... Copy these renamed files to SD card, for example to sdcard://mylivewp folder.
Install from market LWP Creator and in the LWP Creator set the folder path to sdcard://mylivewp.
okay, i don't know that it is so easy... thanks!
thx it's really cool
i've just fund an app, which allows you to use a bootanimation as a wallpaper...

Hello
How can i get back "AllShare Play" for my Galaxy S3? I installed another firmware and a rom and don't really know when it was deleted. I tried to find a solution but I couldn't find anything to solve the problem.
Cance
Go find a Stockish Rom that still has the bloatware........and just extract the System/app folder and put the apks that you want back into your current system/app folder.
Yeh useful tools are bloatware
Thanks for the fast answer but I don't know how to extract the folder when I have a ROM with the needed APK. Can I do this on my computer or do I have to do this on my phone?
Download the Rom to your phone or Computer.
Extract the Rom using a File explorer on your phone or a 7zip/winzip program on your PC and go through the folders...Find the
System/App folder it will be filled with every system app you can need......pick out the apks you want to add into your current set up.
save them to a folder and put them back on your phone....or if on your phone just copy them from the extracted location and navigate back to your Local System/App folder, make the Folder R/W so you can add and remove the system files.....and just paste them back in your current system folder overwriting the current ones. and set the premission to match the rest of the folder most of the time i think its rw-r-r
and reboot. sounds long.....but it only takes me 2 min to copy and replace the files and reboot.
its really simple once you do it a couple times.
hope this helps
Thank you very much, didn't know that it is this easy. I never opened the zip file of a rom ^^
What's the name of the apk? I don't see an obviously named app?
Hello everyone
So lets get to the point.
I actually want to know of a kernal with which i will be able to change bootscreen. Ofcourse i could have found myself but there are sooooooo many kernals to test.... Its almost impossible to find one. I currently use siyah. So if anyone knows please tell me.
No kernel supports bootanimation,you have to do a small edit to rom level to get it to go..

Ok i like messing with complex things. So, what file do i need to edit?
First of all serves:
- A sd card ( to save the file)
- the files of the boot animation taken from another rom or firmware ( to put in our sd before you put it in cellular!)
- root permissions
- a file manager (type solid explorer , astro file manager etc..)
If you have done all of this then we begin opening our file manager: By 'phone' go to 'SYSTEM' and Entered in the folder 'SYSTEM' we go to the subfolder called 'MEDIA' ! In Here we will find or 2 file format called QMG bootsamsung. and QMG and bootsamsungloop. QMG , or a zip file called boot animation.zip ! Then copy the files and paste them from your phone to 'SD' . So in case we have problems conversely from there. For this to mean we go back to system and go in the folder SD CARD. in the 'SD' we stick on files ( or by creating a folder or we may put them where we want! Glued the files back to system , always in the folder " MEDIA" and we are cancelling the two original files.
In this , we return back to the sd card, leaving system and copy the two files that we have brought in sd and that we would like to put as the boot animation . Copied the files and go system / MEDIA and here paste the file! Now by clicking on file , there will be a menu' , just go to 'PERMISSION OR PERMITS ' and put the checkmark on READ WRITE-READ- READ ! And restart your mobile phone.

Ok thanks i did as you said but there is no change. The mod contains only bootanimation.zip. Please tell me a way. Here is mod forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
The bootanimation is composed of two files: a .zip file that is located in system/media called its own bootanimation.zip (that and the video) and a .ogg files that is located in system/etc called PowerOn.ogg (the audio part)
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21749971&postcount=5
P.S. Dates even a glance at google,there are many! Small piece of advice: if you read that they recommend to flash the bootanimation does not go ahead.If you follow my guide to the letter you'll never problems!
Installation procedure :
- Download the bootanimation
- if the package that you download and flash then from pc pull the archive and look for the system folder/media. Inside you will find the file bootanimation.zip , grabing it(without extracting the content) on the desktop and then copy it into the sd's internal phone.
- Always if the package is from flash, from the pc pull the archive and look for the folder system/etc and copied the file PowerOn. Ogg in sd's internal phone(in some bootanimation the sound file there is! It makes no difference)
- once you have copied these two files we have to enter with the rootexplorer in the system folder/media, rename the existing file to bootanimation.zip in bootanimation.zip.old (thus the store)and copy our new file being careful that it is appointed as well, i.e. bootanimation.zip
- if we also file PowerOn. Ogg then always with root explorer we enter in system/etc rinominiamo the existing file in PowerOn.ogg.old and copy our new file always careful that it is spelled correctly, i.e.: PowerOn. Ogg
- if we have not the audio files but what we have we don't like it then to delete just rename the file to .old -once copied files, reboot the phone, and enjoy our new bootanimation....

THanks for links.
I did as you said that is,
renamed bootanimation.zip in system/media to bootanimation.zip.old (in internal phone).
Then i put modified bootanimation.zip after extracting it from the archive i downloaded and put it into phone in system/media.
Restarted phone.... no affects! no change! its default!

if you want to put other bootanimation cel.dovete edit the info file inside the zip file.
estarete folder bootanimation
usually you will find two files
part0 folder (containing pgn files or jpg)
and the configuration file named desc
This latter open it with Notepad
you will like this:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
The first line corresponds to the size with the frames per second
The second line:
P corresponds to a new command
1 corresponds to the number of how many times you want to see your bootanimation (on gs3 if you set 0, is in a continuous loop)
the next number would be zero, specifies how many frames to wait before moving on to the next command
maybe if you have different caretlle
ie part0
part1

That's what i am exactly thinking. Does omega 12 supports boot animation change? Although there is a boot animation option in kitchen but it's only for restoring original boot animation. Please help me.
*BUMP*
Anyone?
im same with you, im use omega v24 galaxy s3, can't change bootanimation,as i know because in system/media, if format for file support bootanimation is .qmg ur phone cann't support bootanimation in .zip file.

Wrong wrong wrong stock Samsung boot files are QMG format always .
They have no bearing upon a custom boot animation .
Custom boot animation is in a ZIP file and requires a kernel capable of running custom boot zip .

I couldn't find a clear answer for setting up UCCW so I'm hoping someone can explain exactly how the widgets created should be inside the UCCW directory...
some of the new clocks, battery bars, etc. I downloaded come with just a "UZIP" file, some come with a UZIP file & an image and some come with a whole directory that has weather images, fonts, etc. inside.
In the posts & threads I found previously that didn't really explain how to set up the new widgets, they just said "put everything inside the UCCWoutput folder"....
now, if one widget I download unzips to a folder with all that widgets' contents inside should I just put that folder inside the UCCWoutput folder?
or do the fonts go into the "fonts" folder on the SD card and everything else go into the UCCWoutput folder?
right now I have almost everything placed in the UCCWoutput folder...no folder for images or files or font or separate folders for separate widgets...everything is just kind of in there...and only a few of the widgets show up when I try to add one to my screens...I thought maybe that each widget should have it's own folder but from what I read in previous posts I found the explanations were pretty vague...."put so-and-so inside the UCCWoutput folder"....that doesn't explain anything really since some widgets have 1 file and some have a UZIP file, a font file and a bunch of images...
just trying to get this straight so I can use this correctly....and I searched for a good hour & a half without finding a somewhat clear explanation on how to handle all the images, fonts, etc...
all help is appreciated!:laugh:
no one has any input on setting up one of these widgets?
just trying to figure out if each widget gets it's own folder or not because like 5 or 6 widgets in my directory have different names but they're all the same thumbnails...
the uccwOutput directory is fine but the other one is the one acting crazy...

Well.. Mine is kind of a mess too but I do know it helps to create a folder on the root of your sdcard ( or whatever internal/external/sdcard0/sdcard1 ) labeled fonts and place the fonts in there not the folder for the font. I do not have anything in my uccwoutput folder I have just been putting all my uzips under the regular uccw folder, opening uzips from there, then the folders are created in the same directory where the uzips are. hope this helps let me know if you need anything else
