boot animation

So I have searched this thread, and I can't find if I can change the boot animation. I have been a rom whore for a couple weeks trying to get this thing running good, and this rom does it all. It's awesome. I will not use cm anymore. The only one thing(I can live with it) is that the boot animation is not my favorite. Does anyone know of a way to change it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cougar11:
Any way to change the dpi of the homescreen...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GT247:
there are...

there are ways to change it but..........

I suggest if you can live with it to just wait for the next release and we'll see if ptmr3 makes adjustments to it

the way the build is set up changing the boot screen can be done but it's not an easy one click deal

some of th guys here have made the power down yoda animation their boot screen......which is apparently easy....and also pretty cool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
Is their a way to remove the what your connected to for wife on drop down. The other thing is I keep having issues with default programs. Specifically my keyboard and launcher. Now I fixed it before the upgrade by doing titanium backup trick but then it started to revert again. I can't uncheck all keyboard options either anyone else have anymore ideas on how to fix the defaults. And thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
if you want to make the shutdown animation also the boot animation, this is how you can do that...

1- go to system/media and rename the bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak

2- then go to system/media/video/shutdown and copy the shutdown.qmg

3- go back to system/media and paste the shutdown.qmg there

4- rename the pasted shutdown.qmg file to now say bootsamsung.qmg

5- REBOOT

also before doing this you want to make sure you have a backup just in case.

IMPORTANT: to do the said steps above you need to be in a root browser and when you are renaming files you need to mount the tab to R/W, and before you leave the root browser, mount the tab back to R/O.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GT247:
what....

what exactly do you want the end result to the home screen to be? as in what are you trying to accomplish by changine the dpi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
as far as changing the bootanimation like you are probably used to, like putting a bootanimation.zip into system/media, well...just don't try coz it wont work...im sure ptmr3 knows that some people like to change em, but for right now, this is good enough for me (changing the boot with the shutdown). it sure beats the AT&T logo, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Its frustrating because I recently came across a thread that gave a flashable zip I think, or some kind of fix, that will disable the qmg animations and let you just drop in a regular bootanimation.zip..I thought I bookmarked it but I cant find it >:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
Are you talking about the "bootanimation4u"??

I wonder if we can make a .qmg and paste it into system/media and call it bootsamsung.qmg???? anybody...???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cougar11:
I guess I got used to 240 dpi in other roms...this just looks HUGE lol

"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
ehh I honestly dont remember.

You can change the dpi of the rom, but the launcher wont look right at any other dpi than 320. If you do change your dpi to 240 or whatever you like , make sure to go to per app dpi settings under jedi tricks and change the touchwiz launcher back to 320 dpi. then using the icon changer, you can make all your icons on your homescreen smaller as if it were240 dpi. as well as change the font size to small under display settings. It a tedious task to change all the icons but I made my homescreen look ALOT smaller
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GT247:
welp...

I played around with the xposed app settings, and you can adjust the dpi and it will adjust the touchwiz home screen BUT it shrinks the entire launcher and so not what you're looking for

This may not be what you want to do but if you use nova launcher you can set the sizes of the icons to your choosing but you "might" not have the tw widgets (which I don't use anyways)

another option is to install an app called "big font" you can adjust the size of the font throughout the device and it will change the size of your launcher icons as well but it will be a system wide change affecting lots of things but if you don't mind smaller fonts it's a good way to go

I personally use big font for bigger fonts but a lot of people use it to shrink them

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RickHenry:
Use ROM Toolbox. Very easy, hundreds to pick from, even on the free version. Or you can use it to install a boot animation you have in a local file. Free version on play store does almost everything the pro version does, but is such a great and versatile app you really should throw the couple of bucks at the dev.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
rom toolbox will not work for this rom as far as changing the bootani. this base uses samsungs exclusive .qmg files. if you read a page or two back I have a walkthrough of how to change the bootani to boot up with the current shutdownani

SUCCESSS!!

FIRST off AndroidMechanic dude I love you, lol the thread you linked me to WAS the one I was looking for, and Im proud to say I'VE HAD SUCCESS CHANGING THE BOOTANIMATION. 100 thanks to you if I could. Will post how I did it for everyone in a sec]

For Those Wanting to Change ATT .qmg Bootanimation on Stock based touchwiz rom

First off special credit goes to Androidmechanic for pointing me in the direction of the thread to do so located HERE

The thread has some pretty clear instructions, but apparently some people still had problems with getting it to work, so here's what I did:

1.) Download Busybox from the playstore, open up the app and follow the instructions to install it. Even if you already have busybox from a previous time, a clean install of a fresh one will make this process work.

2.) Download the Bootanimation4u.zip AND Bootanimationzip4u.Samsungani.Only.zip from the thread linked above.

3.) Reboot into recovery and flash the Bootanimation4u.Samsungani.Only.zip FIRST, then flash Bootanimation4u.zip (I'm not sure if it is needed to flash both, but this is what I did to get it working.

4.) Reboot. Then paste any existing Bootanimation.zip files that you may have into /system/media through use of a root browser (ES File explorer, Root Browser, etc)

OR

You can download Boot Animation from the playstore and download and install from a PLETHORA of bootanimations. If you choose to do this follow these instructions, courtesy of XDA user ReelFiles

- install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.

- Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.

-. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)

- Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 800x1280 30FPS.

-Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.

You don't have to delete the .qmg files that Samsung uses for their bootanimation for this to work, but if for some reason this doesn't work for you, try deleting them and see what happens :)

Once done your bootanimation should be set! Happy Flashing!

Ok... so you don't have to look through 370 pages::

I fixed my music this way:

Root--->System---->build.prop----->lpa.decode=false----->lpa.use-stagefright=false

Don't forget to reboot afterwards

Default music player (walkman) works.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
I think I forgot to put me a busybox in...I'm such an idiot. I tried once and had no luck so I said screw it. I been looking into turning old bootanimations into bootsamsung.qmg files. To make it easier for the rookies...

Ill let you guys know when I figure it out....(if I ever figure it out,lol)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidmechanic:
Ok the bootanimation can be changed. I just did it! Follow Inspired's EXACT instructions on pg 370. After you place your bootanimation.zip (of your choice) into system/media, reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Reboot. You should see your new bootani. :thumbup::D:thumbup:

Two things.. I had to push the bootanomation.zip file that he has on like the 4th page(and change permissions like he has listed) to replace the one already in our rom. Also the suggested free boot animations root file from playstore is locked down version of what is in Rom Toolbox. Rom Toolbox is much easier to use. Ok 3 things... DO NOT resize before you install the bootani from Romtoolbox. After install it is no problem. Anyway give it a look, the dev gave pretty good instrctions, just read the whole thing thru... I love this rom just that much more now that I can fli##p bootanis, hope this helped someone..:laugh:

Anyone know how to get the 5x6 layout? I chose the option during the install, but the launcher looks like the standard TW 5x5... Do I have to go in and change my DPI? If so, am I going to get a corrupted play store?

I used to use Apex when on CM at it allows changing the grid easily. I was trying to stay with TW on the stock based rom.

Try disabling the ripple effect in lock screen menu. It did the trick for me in the initial release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] infamousvincci:
hi guys!

i need a little help... can you guys tell me which governor is the best in terms of battery life at the same time, performance?

thanks guys! im kinda noobie in tweaking the OC/UC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
this is highly subjective based on who you ask honestly. Yes the governors all behave differently but unless you do some real advanced tweaking with like voltages and stuff as well, you won't see major differences. But good governors that are good for a mix of performance and battery life would be wheatley, Smartass V2, and according to some people, Fantasy gov. is good too. My best suggestion for you is to do trial and error. Everyone's phones react differently under circumstances, so what works with my phone may actually not be good for you.

But hopes this helps :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GT247:
why....

why are you asking? are you experiencing poor battery and performance with a particular governor?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
I had been using fantasy for quite a while but I think smartassv2 seems to be a little better for me. The speeds are more varied while fantasy spent more time at maximum.

Oh and deadline scheduler seems about right on my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boyboy1222222222222222:
Same here, like the screen will freeze up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
thought I was the only one also. lag a little more than just lock screen though.

I did as suggested in disabling lock screen ripple and that instantly helped, but its back.

just finished my weekend shift, gonna shuffle back for some more reading tonight and see if I can tweak tomorrow.

my values in the tweaker are not sticking, thought I had values locked, but I am probably wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sqb:
Another thing is governor. On demand will work good for awhile then slowly start locking then full blown slow down. Only governor I really have much luck with is smart ass v2. With tweaker did you press menu then set on boot?

Ok peeps I think ther was a major discussion going on and my post got pushed off. I have 1 major issue that I feel could be fixed but I dont know how. I did the titanium backup trick and this fixes my swiftkey issue BUT not my default launcher. I cant get defaults to stick on either really. It only seems with this rom has this ever been a issue for me. If anyone has any ideas please let me know thanks

I also get a error on uninstalling apps something dadt cant access whitelist sound familiar to any
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
you did get put on the back burner didn't you. that was like 5 pages back. I think they were in the middle of a boot animation discussion.

I am sure that you weren't intentionally ignored. I am sure you know that people here aren't like that. probably just got side tracked.

sorry that I cant really help, cant say that not being able to uninstall an app is something I have ever heard of ????

with your Tibu trick, you didn't restore data did you? known to cause problems from what I understand. I don't use anymore. I use app2zip

stumped here, but that's no surprise.

haven't heard of launcher issue either BUT, maybe just another post on subject will draw attention and get someone who has.

My default keyboard selection never sticks after a reboot. Never tried an alternate home launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ipprof:
I restored all my apps with tb, data and all. It takes me literally weeks to fix the damage done when I restore just the apps alone. But I've had no problems. Tb has a special atomic uninstall option, virtually guaranteed to work. I forgot the name but scroll down and you'll find it. Of course if it's a system app you might not want to uninstall such a protected app but I do believe tb's atomic approach will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
No problem I didnt think it was intentional

I can uninstall any application just the error appears even though it still does uninstall. I did backup and restore the app plus data i will do it again and skip the data it was only for the 2 apps as sson as i reboot it keeps saying go to applications all and clear defaults will stick till next reboot

In the very first screen scroll down and find your launcher and long press it rather than tap it. Then scroll to the last option.

After that just reboot and set it default and hopefully it should stick.

yes, I hit the set on reboot everytime, then reboot.........does the frequency profile HAVE to be named ???

I have also ranted , ranted and regretted, but those were on real non related personal request or issues already answered.

If your xmas list is not under this tree, buy another phone which has them. Severeral people on several threads have already explained problems with some of your request.
