So we finally have a method to change our boot animations without using the very expensive program to create QMG files.

I am going to give you an E4GT specific tutorial that I have come up with because this method was created and used for the Note II.

Thank you to smokin1337 for posting the Note II version HERE

"Update: As pointed out in the comments, this was also accomplished by XDA Senior Member anbech in his thread originally aimed at the SGS3."

SGS3 Thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897969

Here we go!!!

ROOT is required.

1. Add bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/media

2. Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery of your choice other than stock.

Flash Gears-Bootanim.zip in recovery of choice(other than stock) for generic boot animation. Will also fix a bug of a non working boot animation causing a completely black screen. Even after boot. Just flash this and it will fix your problem.

Those two files are attached.

If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x

Reboot...Enjoy

Some custom boot animations

Kick Ace Boot Animations

12MaNy's Boot animations

You can also use Rom Toolbox found in the market to change your boot animations to any that they have on their server. Some may not work but most do. Don't worry if it doesn't work, your phone will still boot fine. I will go over how to make RTB animations work correctly.

Flash bootanimation4u.zip in recovery

Grab ROM Toolbox from the market. There is a lite version that is free and a Pro version that is $4.99. I highly suggest getting the pro version.

Next you will scroll over into the 'Interface section of RTB and go down to boot animations.

That will load up all of the available animations to install.

Next you will press the menu softkey and a menu will pop up.

Hit the second option for the 'Install Location'.

Change it to "/system/media/" (No quotes) Also do not change the file name.

After that you can install any normal boot animation.

If you want to install Tablet animations you will need to...

Download it first. Do not install.

Click it and select "Resize"

Change the width to 480

Change the height to 800

Make sure the FPS is at 30

Hit ok and then install it as normal

Reboot to view it.

(If you get a black screen with no animation try changing the FPS to 20 if that doesn't work, then the animation most likely wont work, but feel free to try a different FPS)

Thanks for reading guys and I hope I helped some of you new guys and veterans bring more customization to your phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anbech:
hi there,

well, just wanted to add something here.. :)

couldnt help notice this line:

getting black screen is usually caused by bad desc.txt file, or the bootanimation.zip file being compressed..

if getting black screen, try remake the desc.txt file with notepad++, and/or try extract the bootanimation.zip file, then add the desc.txt file and the including part-folders into a new bootanimation.zip file with no compression...

just my 2cents ;)

cheers

It should. It works on GA10 no problem. Just need to slow down the fps on a few boot animations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dvs323:
I didn't flash bootanimation4u.zip because I thought RTB pro would be able to do it standalone. I haven't tried changing the fps though. I'm able to install it on RTB but when I reboot it keeps playing the stock bootanimation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
You have to flash the bootanimation4u.zip

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
Do you not have the ability to flash a zip from a custom recovery? If you do I can recommend this mod download the "Aroma Installer version" it has the option to enable custom bootani.If flashing a zip is not an option you can always push the files to the system. It's only 2 small files and the bootanimation.zip you want to run. If you have questions let me know.Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kchannel9:
Was trying to avoid having to flash a custom recovery, cuz FL24 is a tricky build but I managed to hunt down the right Agatz Recovery and now it's fine. So now I'll just use Rom Toolbox Lite and then reboot to recovery and then flash the zip from OP?

Also, what happens if it just hangs at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" screen.....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zak9494:
How’s it going,

Today I’m switching over from an iPhone to a Galaxy S3. I was wondering what would be the simplest way to transfer things over from my iPhone to the S3 such as contacts, pics and if even possible text messages. I am using a MacBook Pro

I am used to iTunes for my backing up and syncing music. I use iPhoto to take pictures off my iPhone and sync them to my computer.

I was also wondering if there was a simple alternative to iCloud, using an app for everything to sync up wirelessly between my MacBook and S3 such as email, bookmarks, calendar events and new music added in my playlists.

Any advice is welcomed whether if it’s a cool app, tweak or helping me adjust.

I am planning to root my S3 so any apps or tweaks that require rooting are as well welcomed.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
You can transfer contacts, pix, and al of your info from iPhone to S3 by Samsung Kies . I use Google account wittch is simmilar to iCloud.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawheat:
Kies sounds like a better option, but when I switched from a 4S to my S3, I just saved my contacts to Google Contacts in iTunes and copied all my photos to my computer via USB.

When I setup my S3, I then synced it with my Google account and all my contacts were restored. I didn't bother putting photos onto the S3, but you can easily copy it to your internal or external SD card.

I used iSyncr to keep my S3 synced with my iTunes library - though I didn't have much DRM stuff (most my my music purchases were done in Amazon and moved into iTunes).

I also use Google cloud services to keep everything in sync.

Other misc stuff:

- I purchased the full version of Boat browser b/c it felt most like Safari in usage (bookmarks option in the bottom toolbar, etc).

- I use Nova Prime as my launcher and to the amusement of some of my colleagues, I have my screens setup in a very iOS type layout. Great level of customization available - I enjoyed tweaking it to exactly how I like

- I personally use MX Player Pro b/c I have a lot of ripped HD movies on my computer and I loved just copying them unconverted and uncompressed onto my 64GB SD Card

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fanbayer:
Hello,

the following problem appears when i try to unlock the phone after some hours: i can see my home screen, but the screen stays extremely dim. When i try to start an app (e.g. browser) the screen turns black. I can unlock it again, but the screen stays dim. after some unlocking the screen becomes normal (normal brightness) and also the apps are startable.

i am using autobrightness, the stock firmware, 4.1.1 (i9300xxdlih) power saver is not turned on.

thx, i hope you can help me solving this problem

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8Fishes:
I have just seen the same issue on a friend's S3.

Anyone else? I feel like this is a very big issue that is still lurking in a lot of devices.

I tried it myself and I toggled the power button to turn the screen on and off.

It doesn't take long but sometimes when the screen turns back on, it's super dim and you can faintly see the lockscreen image.

You have to cycle the screen several more times to get it to the 'correct' brightness, and no it is NOT a brightness setting.

It's some hardware issue in the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barfa:
Sorry for the necrobump, but I only found this thread. I have this problem too since about a week back. It makes my phone useless at times. I first thought it was a software issue. I have an app (called Twilight) for dimming the screen more than normal settings and also toning it, for nightime use, and I thought that was the culprit first, but nope. I have flashed rom, recovery, wiped all caches I can think of. Still happens, just now I was in the middle of installing android revolution hd, and the screen ultradimmed on me so I can't finish the process :(

Thing is, a few months ago I managed to crack my screen by way of gravity and concrete. I let the samsung brand service centre in Stockholm repair it for me (it is out of warranty) and this issue with the dimming never happened before that. Then again, it didn't happen directly afterwards either... but still. So, I am thinking: either me dropping it caused more damages and this is because of that. Or the service center did a bad install of the new screen. Or, the replacement screen that was installed has a defect in itself. I am leaning a bit towards the third explanation... maybe different batches of screens?

Does anyone have any ideas? If I am to contact the service center and complain about their work I would like to be able to point towards a "known problem"... :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Take it back, if it didn't happen before then the new screen is most likely.

[HTC One S] Sanderth:
Hello everybody,

I've got a friend and his HTC One S is stuck in a bootloop (happened like two weeks ago and it isn't fixed since), now I've got a little bit in the HTC Android scene and downloaded an RUU file already.

I'm using this tutorial to fix it, but I can't open the RUU file, since it's an .img, I think the RUU file meant in the tut is an .exe

Now, does somebody know if I even have the right RUU file (radio-1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L)? And if so, does anybody know how to use it?

Thanks in advance,

Thank you for the response, the problem is solved already. I left the phone at my home for the night, tried to start it this morning and found out it worked again. I guess it has something to do with automatic backup. The phone reboots like it should and works like a charm again, anyways thanks for the response :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nukeboyt:
I'm on a rom that has a very dark colored mouse pointer arrow. (You know the mouse arrow that appears when you use a Bluetooth touch pad or USB mouse). It is very hard to see the arrow from across the room when i have my Bionic connected to my flat-screen TV, using Slingbox. I would like to change the color of the arrow to make it easier to see.

From my initial googling, I think that the file I need to change is pointer_arrow.png located inside framework-res.apk. But every time I change the picture and push the framework-res.apk back via ADB, it still is the old arrow. I see that there's also a file framework-res.xml. Does this also require some modification? What else do I need to do to get this to work?

Obviously I'm no Dev, so I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockwaverider:
I've got a very definite hard brick situation going on. A few weeks ago I was using my phone, browsing Tapatalk and downloading something with the Dropbox app, and the phone went completely unresponsive (screen on but frozen, no response to any touches), came back after a few seconds, then froze completely. I powered off and tried to reboot, it hung on the boot animation. Not a bootloop, just hanging there. I powered off again and booted into CWM and tried to restore from my backup. It threw a couple errors which unfortunately I don't remember much about, and honestly, I can't remember now if they came up before or after I started the restore. It started restoring, but got hung up restoring system. After waiting what seemed like forever but was probably more like 10 minutes I very hesitantly powered off and went back into recovery, this time attempting to reflash the rom I was using. More or less the same thing, it started but just hung up during the install. I powered off again, intending to put my phone into download mode and try to flash something via Odin, but the poor guy had had enough and wouldn't even power back on. I left it charging overnight, but it never came back on and I've since bought a new phone. However, if it seems to anyone that it would be worthwhile to try a jig or jtag service, I wouldn't mind keeping this phone as a spare. Truth is, I actually miss it.

I was running WanamLite 12.5, which is XWLPX, 4.0.4, with SpeedMod K3-32. I had tried out a couple of what were then pretty much new JB leaks just before the bricking, I know I tried out Omega and Disaster, but I only kept them on for a few hours each time. All of the kernels I've used since 4.0.4 have been considered "safe".

Anyway, again, based on what I've described does anyone think there's a chance of unbricking my phone without replacing the motherboard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Firstly, there is no such thing as a "hard brick" for same reason there is no such thing as a "soft brick". There is just "bricked" and no in between, your device is either bricked or it isnt.

What n00bs call "soft bricked" is just when they cant figure out how to get system to boot. Your device is bricked when it wont power on or if it powers on you cant use download/recovery to flash working rom/kernel.

In your case it sounds like you have had a hardware failure and thus will need to get the part fixed/replaced or maybe whole board. To answer your question though, yes you should first try a USB jig to see if you can get device to wake up in download mode and then try again to flash kernel ready for restoring backup or flashing new rom. If this fails then you will need to get it fixed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
yada yada yada I've heard some developers use "unbrick". Go tell 'em there's no such a thing.

And stop worrying about semantics.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockwaverider:
Thanks for the replies. I understand that a so-called "soft brick" isn't really a brick per se, but when even articles in the XDA portal throw around the terms "soft" and "hard" bricks, I would say that the genie is out of the bottle and these terms have, for better or worse, entered the common parlance. I do, however, appreciate the input and quite possibly this is simply a hardware issue, although I will, when time allows, try to wake the phone up with a jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
BS!

If thats the case link me one single post where any respected dev refers to a system boot issue as a "soft brick".

The only conceivable time they would refer to that is simply to try and help a n00b and it was quicker to refer to it in that way then to explain things.

You can only "unbrick" if your device is "bricked" and having a rom or kernel issue resulting in a system not booting is not "bricked", Its as simple as that.
