Hey guys,

Maybe you've noticed that CM10 Preview's bootanimation is exactly the same as in CM9, since updating it is obviously not a top priority, so, I quickly modded it with some jollybean for anyone who cares to change it. All I did was overlay the official JellyBean jar mascot image over the old number "9" in most frames, and then zipped it right back up.

Download #1 for ClockWorkMod & TWRP flashable version is here: CWM-cm9_720x1280_bootanimation_jboverlay.zip. This CWM version also installs to /data/local/bootanimation.zip instead of overwriting /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Download #2 for manual install is here: cm9_720x1280_bootanimation_jboverlay.zip. Install it manually by simply renaming it or copying it as bootanimation.zip and then placing it @ /data/local/bootanimation.zip (it will take priority over the default /system/media/bootanimation.zip)

Preview frame:

How I did it (with the maaaagggggical power of linux & ImageMagick scripting):

$ adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip
$ unzip bootanimation.zip -d cm9_bootanimation_jboverlay
$ cd cm9_bootanimation_jboverlay/part0
$ for i in CM9_720x1280_08[1-9].jpg CM9_720x1280_09*; do convert $i ../../jb-new-logo1b.png -gravity southeast -composite $i; done
$ cd ../part1
$ for i in *; do convert $i ../../jb-new-logo1b.png -gravity southeast -composite $i; done
$ cd ..
$ zip -r0 ../cm9_720x1280_bootanimation_jboverlay.zip .
$ cd ..
$ adb push cm9_720x1280_bootanimation_jboverlay.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
$ adb reboot

Note: : This won't work for stock TouchWiz. Boot animations "just work" on AOSP ROMS (CM, AOKP, etc), but Touchwiz requires extra prodding to support custom bootanimations. In summary, for Touchwhiz, you have to first backup /system/bin/samsungani (to .bak), then copy /system/bin/bootanimation on top of the old /system/bin/samsungani, and then it'll work, ALMOST. You also have to remember to mod every single bootanimation you want to use on TouchWiz in order to disable infinite looping on its last part# sequence, otherwise you'll never be able to finish booting your phone, because samsung's stupid bootanimation binary won't break out of the loop when it's ready to show the lockscreen. (A more detailed touchwiz howto is here)

Added a ClockWorkMod flashable version to the original post to make it easier to flash in CWM right after updating the ROM...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
Very nice. And thanks for showing how you did it with ImageMagick. That will come in handy. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
NP. Good to know there's more people out there aware of the ImageMagick swiss army knife. (Photoshop? what's that for? :) )
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
thank you for this even though I am not using this I needed this zip file to put my boot animation in
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yeah that's what we all do - build off someone elses older CWM zip & scripts.

It still baffles me that there's no official GO TO source for official CWM templates or even official edify scripting docs (google results almost always lead back to XDA posts :) )
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ak789:
Tried installing on stock rooted rom there is no bootanimation.zip and manul move doesnt work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yeah, sorry, custom bootanimations won't work on a rooted Touchwiz ROM until you backup /system/bin/samsungani (to .bak), and then copy /system/bin/bootanimation as /system/bin/samsungani. Also, even after you switch, bootanimations on Touchwhiz look crappier for some reason, as-if only 32-colors are being shown, so there's a ton of banding.

Here's an old post where I fully detail how to do this (before I switched to CM).

edit: updated the OP, but... I haven't also provided a modded version of this bootanimation that'll work with touchwhiz, so heed the warning, and only use it if you mod yourself to remove the infinite loop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ak789:
i was able to install it following the link but still looks like infinte loop was seen and mod was the only thing i see on screen but when i put the phone in landscape mode somehow it went away and i was able to access my icons again....some crazy stuff hihi
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Wait, what? Rotating the phone to landscape mode breaks out of the infinite bootanimation on Touchwiz?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DeaDman594:
I am trying to figure what you mean by "(to .bak)" Please could explain. I am also stuck on boot loop.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
A backup filename. As in, rename foobar to foobar.bak. That way you can restore it later if you want to go back to the standard samsung bootanimation

(And if you're stuck in a bootloop, it's because you didn't heed my Touchwiz warning to MODIFY every bootanimation to remove the infinite loop in desc.txt. If you're still stuck, let me know, as I have a CWM script you can use to fix it. Basically, all it does is delete /system/bin/samsungani in order to bypass the animation. Also, FWIW, some guy above mentioned that if you rotate your phone to landscape it breaks out of the bootloop. Try it and see.)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomcat5:
So... It's just that. This phone is fried, quite literally. I was fixing up a rental apartment and plugged my phone in and then turned it on. I walked away after the Samsung logo popped up. I went to go lay/cut some self adhesive tile and came back after a half an hour or more. The phone was screen-up on a cardboard incandescent light bulb box. I had one of these batteries in the phone. I've been swapping them out for about a month and a half with no problem at all. When I came back to the phone to check the time (it's pretty much my watch LOL) I pressed the power button to wake it without picking it up. Nothing. Then I held the button it thinking it might have just randomly shut itself off. Again, nothing. I picked it up and pretty much instantly dropped it. The back cover must have been over 170 degrees. I ripped the battery out about as fast as any of you would or could. Long story made a little shorter, it is dead. Super dead. I can only imagine that there were little pools of solder and glue on the logic board. What should be my current course of action? I left the job late and couldn't find a Sprint store. The stores in my area are complete ****. Should I go ahead and bug the crap out of those stores, should I call Sprint for hours until I get someone who is willing to help me, or should I open up the phone and look at the innards? I have never opened up an Epic before. I'm just mad about this situation in general. It seems the SD card and its data is intact, which is good because pretty much my life is on there. Advice? Would I need to pay the TEP deductible for this retardation? It's not water, it's not in pieces, it's not lost, and it's not stolen. If anything my aggravation should BE the deductible. If this isn't covered by insurance then I'm going to raise hell anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Just take it to a Sprint store and see what they say..batteries go bad so they may just get you a replacement phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Yep what kenny said, if its obvious to them the battery caused all the damage they will most likely replace it... but don't take it apart.... sprint won't have to do anything with it if you do....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomcat5:
Okay, thanks guys. I'll probably get there within the week. I hope I get another Epic, these forums are like my home.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgocards:
Okay, so here's the deal.

Bought my international S3 new off eBay. I had problems and it lagged on the lockscreen and when scrolling through apps randomly. It's odd because my device scores up to 5700 on Quadrant with no mods but it still has random spurts of lag, where it seems like the processor just quits for a bit.

Anyway, I've wiped the data, reflashed the stock firmware, and now I'm on a custom Jelly Bean ROM which is the smoothest it's been but still has slight delays. Call me picky but slight delays bug me on a 600+ dollar phone!

The seller on eBay will charge me 25% restocking fee for a replacement so that's a no go, and when I call Samsung US they say they can't help me because it's an international model. So where do I go to get help? I can't be stuck with a lemon forever, so I just want to know how to get a replacement phone from Samsung really...

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Any non US service center i would guess or the suppliers source .

Users who bought from outside the US have returned the phone to source .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
You will either have to send it to someone outside to exchange it, or resend to seller (and pay that ridiculous fee).

Another option is trying to fix it yourself, the S3 should have NO LAG in the UI whatsoever.

Flash the latest available international firmware for the UK, factory reset, then install apps one by one and hunt the one causing the lag, it might be a widget/app sucking your CPU and RAM...

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Deus.Icaras:
Hey XDA

I'm having absolutely HORRIBLE battery life with my GIO. I've gone through extensive testing to find the root of the problem but nothing seems to be the cause. So far i've had to charge twice, maybe three times a day.

So here's the story. A couple of months ago I noticed my Gio's battery was dying quicker so I flashed another rom [Particle Mod] over it. I was happy, until I found out the problem persisted. Then I flashed a 2.3.7 Cyanogen mod, the battery still wasn't lasting and the battery life was only slightly worse owing to CYMOD.

I then flashed the GALAXYICS beta, and it's getting even worse. I've even bought new 1600mAh batteries to see if it was the battery's fault. Apparently not, so I went back to stock for a day or too to see what it was like, and I was still lucky to get 12hrs out of it with featherweight usage.

I simply do not know what to do, I've tried numerous battery mods [flashable zips etc] and they've only done a tiny bit. Lately I've been playing with clockspeeds but it seems to only make a difference if I raise the minimum speed, the extra top end performance is nice though.

So, what I'm saying is this normal for a Gio? Is it a hardware fault? software? 4th dimensional? I'm at a loss, and I think the infamous Samsung cell standby drain is to blame.

Attached is screenshots of general battery screen, Cell standby and the Graph. I've been switching between 2G and 3G, Airplane mode on and off, and listening to music for an hour or so and It seems to have utterly crippled the device doing simple tasks, and I've done EVERYTHING to minimize the drain by lowering screen brightness to %0, turning off vibration, animations, wifi, GPS, BT, radio, everything except google contacts sync and a couple of root things in between like deleting the batt stats.

The new batteries help somewhat, but I still can't last long enough for a single school day... FFUUUUU!

I really don't want to have to buy a new phone, I'm only 14 so I can't work to get one, and I can't just ask my parents because then I'm just being a spoilt brat. I want to make this phone last as long as possible [Until I can work for a Google Nexus or something] and the battery isn't helping.

Thanks for reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] oregondave:
Yeah you're a spoiled brat. This is not great but not extraordinarily bad. My epic 4g touch spends the day on the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
Well, it seems to be all right with your battery. And your '1600 mAh' battery was just a fake. A lot of people get scores like this
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Deus.Icaras:
What I am worried about is not so much the capacity, it's the RATE at which it drains. I see a lot of "stair steps" on my graphs so I'm not so sure, especially when checking the other phones in the house "a Galaxy Ace and 2 HTC Incredible S's] they seem to have a more consistent curve, I notice my batteries will drain by as much as %5 in half a minute, which is either a reporting bug or inconsistent strain.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Kapricornus:
Have you tried to do a wipe and test it with no installed apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Vilo76:
Do not trust the "stairs", it is just bad reporting (as you said).

In my case when I switch on 3G or WiFi, it happens that the battery drops by 10% instantly.

The only value that is relevant is the total duration between a full charge (100% charge + several hours still plugged) and the "low battery" indicator.

According to my own experience, the things that drains the most are :

- 3G network : this is the main factor, by far.

If you can, try to stay in 2G mode most of the time, switch to 3G when needed, and as soon as not needed anymore go back to 2G.

- WiFi / BT

If you switch On/Off very often, or is always On and you moves very often (changing hotspot), then WiFi / BT will be a very important battery drain factor.

- Multimedia

Videos / MP3 drains battery a lot.

If you can, switch to "airplane mode" or switch off the phone during night.

Finally, with 3G / WiFi / Multimedia usage mix, a "One Day" autonomy is good.

I'm sorry but you will not find any smartphone that can pass "One Day" with that usage type.

With my own usage (very few calls, sms, wifi) and with above tricks, my Gio lasts 4-5 days.

PS : As you mentioned, available ROMs are very unequal as far as battery drain is concerned.

Stock ROMs (and moded ones like Adrenaline) are the champions of battery life, while ICS ROMs are the worst.

CM7.2 ROMs are in between.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alexx890:
I agree with Vilo76. When you don`t have wireless or 3g, or play any music/games, you can actually get a few days of life from your phone, but if you do some of the stuff i just said, the battery life is going down like crazy...

The only think you can do to get some bit of juice out of your phone is if you format your battery, but actually that is just for a better battery reading, not actually extending your battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Vilo76:
By the way, I can't figure out why phone manufacturers don't use more long lasting batteries ...

There are many many examples of batteries that are about the same size as a phone one, but deliver way more mAh.

Among others :

- House wireless alarms keypad batteries are the same size but can be as much as 3000mAh ...

- Classic cylindrical AA or AAA accu can be as much as 4000mAh ...

While a typical phone battery hardly ever exceed 1500mAh.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Deus.Icaras:
Okay, I'm back and I have some results for today

3G Is DEFINITELY using more in Australia on idle, while 2G is a bit less brutal

There is something cause my phone to wake intermittently, I've turned sync and location services, and killed any apps that may be checking the net etc, but it's still waking up with screen off.

---------------------------

Today I decided to do something bit extreme, I ran the phone an airplane mode all day with the original "dead" battery, I only lost %20 all day with 1hr or so music usage, phone standby is up but Cell standby isn't there at all [Obviously].

Something's telling me that's it the cell radio and whatever is waking my phone up is causing the suck. I'm upgrading to GalaxyICS CM9 beta10 today with a full dalvik, battery and cache wipe, so we'll see how that goes

In my entire experience with Cyanogenmod, I think I had two SOD's. It comes with a lot of features like swipe to remove applications and it's themeable.

I don't think you need to worry so much about Cyanogenmod, I really doubt you'll brick your phone. Just flash it and give it a try.
