hmm.. what zip, exactly are you referring too? ive double check the whole thread and my inbox, but cant find anything..

thats good news :)

well, your animation consist of only 63frames.. and ive calculated some time ago, when i was on ICS, that it would be about 160-180 frames at 20fps, for the ui to show... so, i made it show two times, as you else would have 3-4sec black screen before the ui starts to show..

the framerate is set at 20, because i find that the most reliable to work with, but feel free to edit your desc.txt inside the bootanimation.zip.. remember to use notepad++, and when putting it back into the zip, make sure it doesnt compress the file.. :)

EDIT:

and a thanks would be much appreciated ;) :p
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
You're right, sorry. Thanks very much!

Any way to avoid those black seconds? If not, that's OK. Thanks again!

EDIT:

I have included more frames, now there are 126. but again, I only get a black screen. For the future, could you tell me how to solve these errors?

My new file is attached.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
create your desc.txt file with notepad++, and make sure the "part0" is the exact same as the folder "part0".. and when packing it down into a zip, make sure that it isnt compressing the files.. use winrar or 7zip for that.. some people have succeded with winrar, and others with 7zip.. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
What you mean by that? And about the other instructions, I believe I've done them the right way. Can you check my uploaded file and see what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
extracted the zip, packed it down without compressing with winrar.. choosed save-method..

havent tried it, but should work.. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
OK, I see the no-compression option, but what is save-method?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
should look like this.. its a danish version of winrar, but you should be able to figure it out, what i mean :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
Yes, I got it, thanks ;)

I've finally make it work! Now, one last question xD any way of avoid the stop motion effect? I mean, can I do something to the animation so it will look smooth like a normal video? Do you know what I mean?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
great :)

well, the phone is heavy loaded when booting, thats why it isnt that smooth.. the same reason why i stick with 20fps..

if you loop 2 times, youll notice that the first time, is lagging a bit, while the second loop is running very smoothly.. thats because its loaded into the ram, and then it isnt needed to process the sequence, as its just using the already made one..

a "solution" would be to set the bootup process on pause, play the first loop, and then continue the bootup process, while looping the already processed sequence... but this would make the bootup time longer... and dont know how to do it, so cant try it... :P
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
Don't worrry then. Thanks for all your feedback.

I just remember, how come that these animations doesn't produce that effect I was talking about? Also, the stock animation plays smooth as well...

I think my problem is when i edit the dsc. Txt. I didnt use notepad++
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
youre welcome mate :)

well, try lower the quality of your jpg's.. and since they dont use that many different colors, you should be able to lower the quality a lot without loosing too much details..

and try set the the fps rate to 15fps, as Kryten as done with the ones you are referring too..

otherwise, try make them as png files, and optimize them with this tool:http://psydk.org/PngOptimizer

and to un-optimize them all again, for editing purpose, i can recommend my tool.. link in my signature.. :)

yea ok.. hope it works out well for you :)

What's wrong with my Desc file or something else?

After a bunch of trial and error with /data/local vs /system/media (could only get it to work in the latter), and chaning zip files to rw- r- r-, I finally got this one kind of working, but need a little help:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20788-bo...-xhdpi-classic-old-skool-arcade-title-screen/

While it loops on the 2nd folder (part1), I get about .04 seconds of a white screen.

Anyone seen this? Theories? Ways to tweak to get it to work?

720 1280 15

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

I'm not sure what other GS3 user boot screens are like, but on JB/Sprint, I have the 'new' purple/swirl samsung logo for a handful of secs followed by the Sprint white screen logo animation thing.

So, my theory for now is that while RAM is loading/busy reading/executing the 'p 0 0 part1', a bit of the Sprint logo pops in/runs till it gets 'trumped' by each successive loop?

Should I work on changing the frame rate so that the heavy RAM use can loop better without the specks of white screen I am seeing between successive executions of 'part1'?

Anyone have any ideas/experience here?

Thanks for any help.

I can get your test bootanimation to work, but none of the other one's will work when I load them into my system/media folder. Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirSparkles:
I just went through this myself the past few days, and just got it 'working' for me.

maybe I can help

1) Make sure the bootanimation.zip you're putting into system/media has been changed to rw- r- r- read/write linux access. Most of what I was pasting in and/or nature of the folder browser I had been using, put the .zip in there as rw- - - . If you're not familiar with this, read earlier in the thread for help (or when in the file explorer, long hold the .zip file -> properties -> change some check boxes and see what it does, each file explorer might be a little different here, i used ES File Explorer)

2) Also, I think you might (but not certain based on the OPer statement) that you definitely should flash the diasble.zip before placing a reattempted bootanimation.zip, and finally flashing the enable.zip I think I ran into an issue were is was just trying new boot.zip files and just trying to flash enable again (over the top of previous one kind of thing). Get back to your stock/original animations before trying new ones.

3) Or as others have said, along with the author, that it might truly be the .zip file you're trying to implement. I'm having trouble, I think, with the Desc file. Changing numbers in it, even with Notepad++ results in semi blackouts, full blackout, or mostly working for me without changing .zip folder .png image files, just the Desc file. If you're wondering this, read post #5 to see if it's proper, and ensure you're using Notepad++ when mod'ing the Desc file.

I think all of these facets are in this thread, but not summarized together anywhere as a troubleshooting guide.

Maybe these tidbits will help?

Maybe not

Hope it does, good luck.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
@SirSparkles, great that youre helping out, as your both are using Sprint devices :)

the thing about permissions to be set, is that ive never had problems with that, but maybe its different from rom to rom.. or maybe because im using RootExplorer, and that could perhaps set it for me, without my knowledge about it..

ill add a hint about it in post #4 , as youre not the first one stating it.. :)

the enable flash zip ive made should only be used once, but (and thats a big BUT) its a good thing to have them both on the sdcard, while changing bootanimation, because if the animation corrupts the startup, its very easy to flash disable flash zip..

so, the enable zip just makes it permantly enabled, and the disable zip, disabled (return to stock).. hope that makes sense.. :)

@dvine1, when you say "your test animation", you do mean the black one, with white text on, right? some people think its the green "android"-text, but that one isnt custom, as its androids standard bootanimation..

you should try set the permissions, as SirSparkles stated.. it could be the rom or because its Sprint device..

but, if the test bootanimation ive made did work, then i would say its the other bootanimations you tried..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirSparkles:
Yeah, I've been using ES File Explorer vs Root Explorer, there easily might be a setting or difference between the two. Since day one with ESFE, I've noticed any paste typically inserts as rw- - -.

On the 'enable' vs 'disable' use....my experience has been the following with the stock Sprint JB ROM:

from a scenario with stock animations

(ba.zip = bootanimation.zip)

1 install ba.zip into system/media and ensure rw- r- r-

2 reboot into cwm

3 flash the enable zip

4 reboot from cwm

5 see if it works (if you see something, but not optimal, most probably guessing it's a Desc tweak need)

6 if it doesn't work (pending on the 'type' of doesn't work, where you can see a screen)

7 delete ba.zip from system/media

8 reboot into cwm

9 flash the disable zip

10 reboot from cwm

11 should see stock animation

12 try new ba.zip by placing in system/media and ensure...(pickup at step 1)

I"ve wondered all along that if I don't do exactly the steps above, that it CAN cause problems for me.

Aka, I've tried to, at my step 5, where it doesn't work, to just delete the 'bad' ba.zip, and place a new one in there, reboot and flash the 'enable' zip again.

When I've done this, it seems, from my experience, that a 'good' ba.zip that works, will not work sometimes, when flashing 'over the top' of a bad zip that isn't working.

I'm kind of under the impression, even if trying a new ba.zip 'over the top' of an already good/working ba.zip, that I need to run the disable.zip prior to trying anything new.

Maybe it's because I've tried this 10-15 times, and can't remember which version of a Desc I've been using in each ba.zip :)

Anbech, can you clarify?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
well, it shouldnt be like that..

after flashing the enable zip, the changing between animations should be as easy as changing the wallpaper....

its should be like this:

- flash enable zip

- copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media or /data/local

- Reboot to see changes take effect, and if youre not able to get into UI, then reboot into CWM and flash disable zip.. and then replace the bootanimation.zip with a working one, reboot and flash enable zip...

so, disable zip should only be used, if you cant get into normal boot showing the ui, and not everytime you change bootanimation.

but, as i stated earlier, i dont know anything about Sprint devices, so cant tell if the procedure should be different..

it could also be the kernel you use..

i will pm you 3 different bootanimations, and a how-to in what i want you to test..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dvine1:
Anbech,

I've tried 5 different ba's only to get the green android logo now... Not sure what else to do at this point...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
well, did you try the test animation ive made, link at post#4? asking you again, as you havent really answered me on this...

you could try go through SirSparkles small guide/howto at the previous page, and see if that works for you.. otherwise, im pretty sure that he will help you out, as youre both having a Sprint device and using the same rom..

its kind of hard for me to help you out, when its not a device that im familiar with..

when you see the green android text animation, it means that its activated/enabled.. could you pm me some links to those animations youve tried, so i can check if its something with those, that needs some modifying to be able to work?

hope it works out for you mate, i really do, but i need more details about what youve done and so.. it will help me more, to be able to help you more.. ;)

take care mate
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dvine1:
Anbech,

I tried your zip in post #4 and it worked, I also tried SirSparkles method but it didn't work. I just sent you pm with the link that I got my zips from...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
that is good news mate! :)

if the animation ive made works for you then it should work with others as well, with some slightly modifications..

check post #5 to see what to edit/change..

if you need assistance, then please feel free to ask.. :)

Edit:

Sended you a pm ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dvine1:
I got your pm and it worked... It would play then go to white screen then play again (about 4x) then finish boot process....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
hmm.. SirSparkles got the same bug about the white splash right before the looping part begins (he have a Sprint device as well)...

and we are trying to figure out what is causing this, will report back when we know a little more about it :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonumb:
Is there any mod or fix or even any news at all on how to get wifi roaming working on the s3?

For anyone who doesn't know - if you have multiple routers/access points then when they overlap they do not transition correctly. You have to disconnect and reconnect to get onto the most appropriate router.

I have a router upstairs in the back of the house and downstairs at the front so I can get coverage in the garden etc... if I'm downstairs and move upstairs it'll hang onto the signal from downstairs even if low when the signal from the other router is much better. you have to disconnect and reconnect to get a better signal.

It's the only really annoying thing about this phone!

Edit spoke to samsung uk technical and they said they are aware and it should be fixed in the next firmware but tbh I think they were just bull****ing me.

When I leave my desk and fetch a coffee at the meeting point, the S3 should switch to another AP.....So, staying at the meeting point with the coffee but no WiFi...:( After switching the WiFi off and on, it works again. Coming back to my desktop, I have to switch WiFi off and on again....really anoying bug....

Any solutions? Or maybe Custom ROMS?

[Nexus S General] lionhe:
Hi everybody,

I'm running JellyBelly 1.0.0 with a stable thalamus kernel compiled by madd0g.

Recently my phone began to freeze relatively often, with the screen on. I have to remove battery

in order to make it restart. adb recognize the device, but it does not respond to any other command

(neither logcat nor shell)

At reboot I also noticed that a screen snapshot has been taken. In jelly belly by using the power button

a menu appear allowing, among other things to take screen shots. That's why I think that maybe the power

button is failing. As I do not see the poweroff menu, it may be that my hypothesis is not correct.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Lionhe

EDIT: I found that in the SD folder bugreport a bugreport file have been generated with exactly the same time of the freeze. I've read somewhere that by simultaneously pressing vol up and vol down in jelly bean such a report would be generated. I though that I found the cause, but unfortunately I am unable to reproduce it.

EDIT2: The trouble occurs when volup voldown AND powerbutton are simultaneously pressed. I will look if this behavior occurs also in other ROMS

Such a trouble also occur if I give the command adb bugreport

It does not happen in AOSP chocolate

I have weird bug like that that keeps turning Bluetooth on! What Rom are you running? One reason data will shut off is if its not available. Have you tried another radio and ril? That might help. Never found what's turning on my Bluetooth? Very strange. But I do know with data it will shut off when not available.perhaps it's signal issues. You can try a new radio and ril and see if issue still persists. It's worth the experiment. Could solve the issue.

[HTC Sensation] ShAaShAy:
Funny thing is, since I don't completely use to phone to myself, it's 100% stock. And it's really weird for a thing like this to happen on stock.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes it is strange, because you are stock it even more so confirms it might be a signal issue. Some solid advise. Call your provider and let them trouble shoot your device and See if your signal is getting disrupted this would cause the shut off . If so, make them do something about it! If possible. I have T-Mobile and I know they will trouble shoot a signal if need be. That's the only thing I can think of that's causing the data to shut off. When I installed a different radio/ril to my device I had the very same issue. I solved it by flashing a different more compatible radio and ril for my Area. But since you're stock, see what if anything the provider can do for you. Or you can root and try to change things yourself. If that's not an option take it in for warentee exchange because a device won't work without data and something needs to be done to solve the issue! Really hope this helps. Best wishes.
