quick question, this was working fine on lite'ning 1.2, just flashed 1.4 and now the boot animation runs as per normal, and then when it would normally finish it goes twice as fast running the animation over and over (similar to a boot loop without the reboot), it eventually sorts itself out and loads the OS and sometimes i can break the loop by pressing the home button, not sure if this bug lies with the 1.4 or the animation, but yea, anyone else having this issue ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AFK_Matrix:
Mmmm weird did another reboot just now and it now plays the sound.

And I too got your issue snowsire when I first installed it had to press the home button to get it to stop. Now it doesn't need the home button pressed but I do get the animation speeding up just before my lock screen appears.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Hey guys,

this is not a bootloop and have nothing to do with my bootanimation.

It´s normal after you flashing a new ROM,

that the bootanimation takes much longer.

You dont have to push any button, just wait!

And the speed up thing is normal too:

The bootanimation is longer tha the system allows to be.

So, the last 20-30 .png´s (last 1 second) is playing much faster because the system wants to start and force the bootanimation to end!

Hope this lets u understand, this is not a Bug, it´s just a gimmick

:p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] snowsire:
i figured as such, any chance we can trim the animation to fit the systems timing ? i mean if its possible to find the rough timing the system takes to boot (as it obviously differs) btw, it was roughly 20-30 seconds the first time i rebooted with 1.4, now its approx 5 sec,

but yea , i hear ya. :)

still use it, still love ya work BMWpokerAce

@BMWpokerAce

Its running on 1.5 from litepro? :)

P.S. I am tested. Its running perfect.

Thanks.:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DerMoeJoe:
i tried to install/flash this nice featured programm. via cwm the install was finished. after rebooting the sgs2 the bootsound comes but i'm always with the stock samsung boot animation. is there any option to made this completely? i also retried this 2 times and tried the option with copying the bootanimation.zip to the data/local folder but without any reason. is there something i should forget?

ps: i'm using the lightning 1.4 rom with cwm 4.0.0.5
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nurettinozturk:
I installed this Bootanimation. (I was using Linghtening 1.4)

It worked. But there was a yellow caution sign every booting.

I uninstalled via Remove_Litening_ROM_Bootanimation+Sound.zip

yellow caution sign was there again

I upgrade to Linghtening 1.5

yellow caution sign is there again.

I hate this signbords...

How can I solve this problem?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
this is because you are using an insecure Kernel. has nothing to do with your ROM really. if you flash an official Samsung Kernel, the caution sign will go away.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nurettinozturk:
Thank you for answer.

I'm new to Android world.

How can I flash my phone?

I didn't note the old kernel number. But it was actually XWKE7.

Now it is writing;

Kernel version

2.6.35.7-I9100XXKF2-CL253204

se.infra@sep-35#2

Build number

Lite'ning Rom V1.5 XXKF2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DerMoeJoe:
after flashing to lightening 1.5 the bootanimation fully works... and during the flash of cmw 4.0.0.5 the boot animation woudn't work again. so the main failure is the incompatiblity with cwm 4.0.0.5. after reflashing cwm back to 4.0.0.2 the boot animation works perfectly again!

i'll hop this would help someone
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Skyline92:
Very nice :D Could you also create on for the Cognition Rom? :)

Flashing kernel

Hi....

I couldn't solve my problem yet.

How can I flash the Samsung original kernel?

Thank you...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] diehard2222:
Man this animation is quite bad... I'm sorry to say it but unfortunately it really is.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
That´s easy to say!

Please make a better one and than we can talk again

:cool:

Gr8 job m8.

It looks awsome with the lightning ROM.

Installer by copy/past in ES File Explorer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cicku:
seems great，I will try
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] safeelhd2:
Just flashed this, works great. Thanks.

Just one suggestion:

Remove the lightening bolt from the backgroud itself, then your lightning effect will look better as there will only be one animated bolt of lightning.......

instead of one still bolt and one animated bolt over the top it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Everythings:
Flashed it !!

Working perfectly and I like it !!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adz63:
hi folks i downloaded this and flashed from phone sd not external and the bootanimation is the same as the original apart from i can hear thunder ...

tried flashing again and same thing
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adz63:
any suggestions bmwpokerace
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] eeliah:
Im also getting only the thunder sound but stock bootanimation, need halp :eek:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ibb1982:
Me too, does it have anything to do with being on latest Litening 4.1 ROM?

I've tried re-installing 4 times now from main directory via CWM. Have re-transferred zip (including re-downloading) into main directory from PC, just incase previous transfer's got corrupt somehow. Still no luck :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Im pretty sure its because of the new Kernel that LitePro has implemented in his new ROM.

Please try anyone to flash first the CF-Root CWM Kernel and then the bootanimation.

If this works, you know the issue.

To try, you can take any CF-Root Kernel, for example for KG2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adz63:
thanks alot mate it worked . its so awesome .. if i put the nin kernal back on will it disappear.

also can you make splash screens too i would love to see a liverpool fc logo with lightning for a splash screen

post one thanks clicked
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] businka19:
Would this be also the reason why I dont seem to be able to remove the animation? Flashed the remove.zip several times to no avail, flashing different bootanimation also doesn't solve the problem.

edit: flashing different CF-root kernel solved the problem but it's a pain in the ass to remove the BA;)) Anyway...thanx for your work
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] carlos67:
Guys, i think it doesn't work with ninpo's kernel because his kernel does not allow flashing of files from External SD card through CWM recovery. Maybe try flashing from the internal memory (SDCard folder).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
I remember this boot screen for my old desire and for the sgs 1 ..

Nice to see it again... :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hotkingcol:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adz63:
If u read a few posts back it says you need cf root kernel for this to work . Then put nymphet back on afterwards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
True words ;-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] skimminstones:
wheres the preview on the first post? id like to see what this is before flashing
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] snowsire:
thanks for including the remove as well, could just overwrite it for some reason, still a good animation !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
The problem is, it was a free Hoster where i have uploaded the .gif Animation and now it have been deleted by them.

The new Animation .gif is 13MB and at the old Hoster is just 10MB max.

Any Idea where i can upload it for free?

(Imageshack dont support animated gif´s on free account)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] adz63:
What about photobucket. I'm not sure but worth a try
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Very good mate,

it worked and i will update the first Post now :cool:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] joeadams:
im trying to flash this on 4.2 and like others have said i only get the sound due to having the wrong kernel. would it be possible for somone to post a link to the kernel i need to use have? googled it but dont really want to install the wrong 1 as iv only ever installed the roms that litepro has made. any help would be appreciated:)

i'm using too litening 6.0 and it doesn't work too..could you me send a link to the root kernel for this bootanimation works please?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Punchlinegott:
I'm on Litening 6.1 and the boot animation doesn't work just bootsound works.

I flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip, then flashed the bootanimation but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pyushgupta87:
same problem with me. On litening rom, Speed Mod kernel. Only the sound works, the boot animation does not work for me.

Is there a solution yet?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Punchlinegott:
I flashed bios bootanimation to see if that works. It does with sound an animation. Why does Litening bootanimation not work?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] imranmcse:
Only sound, no animation. Same problem like others. Any idea?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Punchlinegott:
I've got the solution.

1. unpack Litening_ROM_Bootanimation+Sound.zip -> you have to copy the following three files to your device:

PowerOn.wav

1_Power_on.ogg

bootanimation.zip

2. flash bios boot animation (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=671410&d=1312044405) via recovery and reboot phone

3. open root explorer and copy the bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ and overwrite existing file

4. copy 1_Power_on.ogg and PowerOn.wav into /etc/ and overwrite existing files

5. now reboot your phone and enjoy litening bootanimation and sound

I know it's a bit awkward but it works.

EDIT: I managed to edit the original cwm files. You can now flash the zip file as usual via recovery.

BUT BE WARNED I'M NOT A DEVELOPER! I JUST EDITED SOME FILES AND TESTED IT ON MY PHONE AND IT WORKS!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] imranmcse:
No my friend, I tried your manual method, also tried your provided zip file. But still only sound, no animation?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Punchlinegott:
Which kernel do you use?

I flashed Ninphetamine 2.1.3 via recovery...

speedmod t27
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Punchlinegott:
As mentioned before I am not a developer and I don't have much knowledge about this all. I just played around a bit and for me it worked.

Do you see the bios bootanimation when you only flash this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=671410&d=1312044405

and then reboot your phone?

Hi, Im running Lite'ning Rom 6.1

I have flashed the ZIP for the custom boot animation via every method I know, Recovery, CWM... Nothing, no change.. any other ideas?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Thunderica:
Same problem here. Flash it via recovery and only change is the sound. :confused:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] chmsalman:
Same trouble....

Hey, I'm on lite'ning Rom v6.1 with ninphet 2.0.5.

Im having the same issues as everyone else about only the sound working and not the animation. you posted an animation (in the above quoted area) and asked if the bootanimation works when i only flash with that zip. YES IT DOES.

I posted this because the other member didnt respond to your question. Does this help with you finding a solution to the lightening animation everyone is having troubles with?

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

DISREGARD MY OTHER POST! Thanks so much, your method works like a charm! im running lightening 6.1 and followed your directions (manual method) and it worked great. no need to flash other kernel, etc like others suggested. this works!

I tried to make my GPS better and have made it worse. Is there any way to reverse the GPS fix that I have installed from my sd card. I now get no GPS satellites at all. Before I could get a lock w/in a minute. I'm just wanting it back to normal. If it's not broke don't try and fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I could be mistaken, but reflashing your rom should take care of it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Or just revert back to a nanddroid backup...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Not to sound pretentious, but this is why every dev post says to make a nand backup before following their instructions.

[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Funny, cause I think his fix makes my gps worse as well. With a case on the phone, and his fix flashed, I'll get accuracy around 150-200 feet. Without a case it works great.

If I don't flash his fix, accuracy without a case is the same, but with a case will be in the 25-30 foot range.

So I recently rebuilt this phone. Got two phones, one bricked one cracked, took the screen from the one phone and put it on the good one with a cracked screen. Phone fired right up worked great, charged the battery up all day, creeped the messages and pictures in the phone lol, then did a factory reset after the phone had been on roughly 6 hours. Fired it up bypassed activation and formatted the internal memory and sd, and turned the phone off. I was carrying the box I had the phone in and felt it vibrate and took the phone back out, must have pressed the power button. Waited for the phone to boot and rosie was in FC hell. I did a battery pull and still the same.

I booted into HBoot and did another factory reset and all seems well. I want to sell this phone but I am not a scammer and will not sell a phone without 100% certainty that its 100% and full disclosure on the whole screen repair thing. This is not a for sale thread, I just want to know if this is a common issue with these phones or if anyones ever seen it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldnikon:
Hey guys, I'm a new Nexus S owner coming over from an Evo. On my Evo I rooted it and put a custom rom on it and such, so I'm not completely new or wet behind the ears when it comes to doing things with your phone.

Here's the thing: I went and put custom ringtones on my Nexus, but the one I use primarily only rings once. I look at it and see it vibrating and still receiving a call...but the ring-tone does not loop. It rings once and that's it. So far it's the only problem I'm having with my phone. Anyone having the same problem or have a fix for me that I can use?

Thanks in advance for the help!

btw: I put the custom ringtones on my phone by making a folder in the SD card titled media/audio/ringtones. I did that and the tones showed up. Is there another method that I can use that will make the ringtone repeat itself, because this whole 1 ring thing is not going to work, lol.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
someone else asked me about this exact same thing right before you posted this. I tested, and ringtones on your sd dont loop :/ I made a 4 second ringtone to test and it rings for 4 seconds then stops. i know this wasnt the case on other phones and dont see why it is now. but just letting you know thats your issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I don't find this to be true for me. I've got the same setup and mine loop. I don't know how to help troubleshoot it for you either. I'm running stock rooted. I will test this later and let you know if I was wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldnikon:
Yea, I'm running stock rooted as well...I don't understand why this would be an issue at all. It doesn't make any sense. I would hate to have to just make the ringtone longer by looping it manually and then replacing it on the phone, there has to be some other reason behind this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I just made a ringtone, placed it on my sd, and it only played once. I was asked via gtalk by another NS4G owner about it, so I tested. Maybe your ringtone is longer than you think?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I am having the same issue. I took the stock ringtones off the last rom I was running on my Evo and they don't loop on my nexus. I even tried placing the ringers in the actual ringtone folder (/system/media/audio/ringtones) and they still did not loop, I just gave up. Any one have any ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowmanwithahat:
Are you guys using google voice integration? I found that it started only playing ringtones once after integrating with google voice.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
That could be it. I remember when I first got my phone the ringtone would loop. Sometime after GV/Sprint it stopped doing it.

I did integrate after getting my phone, and it use to loop while it was integrated I think...but then I turned the integration off after a while, lately I started noticing that the ringtones weren't looping.

I use music files for my phone that last until the phone is answered I never noticed
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I've done a bit of investigating with this and have yet to find a definitive answer. The ones that will repeat are on system media ringtones. They are all ogg. I was playing with Vespa.ogg. I made an ogg file and tried to disguise it as vespa. I made sure the audio file characteristics were similar. Permissions and ownership were copied too. I even changed the tag of the file of it's name and composer was the same. I copied my file on top of the real one in system and made everything ro and rebooted. None of that made any difference, it wouldn't loop. I opened up music app and played files. The original would loop but the imposter wouldn't. The only differences I still see is my file is 3k smaller and not the same date as all the other ogg files in the system folder. Other than that, all my theories of what is causing this behavior have been wrong.

Could it be md5 signatures? Date and time (I don't know how to change that only using the phone and gui)? Other than that I have no frigging clue. Anyone else motivated enough to figure it out? I can't think of anything else and don't know cli enough to agamgm things in a terminal window or emulator.

If I copied a file from system to sdcard, it would loop out of it's native folder. I don't know if a ringtone editing and assigning app would make any difference. It's too late and I'm too tired ATM to do anymore detective work today.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Its the gv integration. Do the same tests after you disable it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Are you picking one of the ogg files of ringtones that came with the phone? If you play the file you chose in a music app, how many seconds long is it? I just said to hell with it and found the ringtone I like and copy paste in an audio editing program on the computer enough times to make it 30 seconds long. Problem not solved but taken care of.

Grasping at straws now but anything is possible. If I remember, zedge you can download and has a built in trimmer and can assign stuff too.

Could you point me to what you might have used to edit the ring tone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Amadeus on mac. Adobe audition on windows could do it too. That might be a little overkill for the average person though. I forget the name of that open source audio editor out there. I remember I didn't care for the layout and lack of what I was wanting to do. Wave form analysis and normalization I think. That was years ago.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwald:
Anyone come up with a solution other than re-recording the ringtone to make it longer?

I'm having the same problem. Ringtones that worked fine on my EVO now will not loop on the NS4G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
I've also posted about this but got no answers.

I currently use a ringer I got from Zedge called "Business Ringer_49" which is on my SD storage and it loops fine. Others however don't. So the SD storage theory goes out the window.
