Is there a way to reverse this process? Take the bootsamsung.qmg and using the Samsung Theme designer, convert it to a normal bootanimation.zip to play on AOSP ROM's?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anbech:
not possible, im afraid.. not that im aware of though..

;) Hey guys ! Thanks for the tutorial but am running Win XP home edition and even can't choose non touch phone ! just got an error message , something like , tranlated from french :" sort order selected is not supported by the operating system" ; so then can't create a new theme since every boxes are empty , no choice possible only the " cancel button " ....??? :confused: ..any ideas to help ? Thanks !

..managed to change my bootanimation.zip and poweron.ogg on my galaxy s 2 but can't do the same with the shutdowns files so i would like to try your method ...

;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
hi :)

(

i really dont know what happen with your PC but try updating or installing more windows frameworks services (windows.com) try uninstall restart and reinstall samsung theme designer, if this didnt work you should think about update your windows if you want to create this png files

its already tested with the shutdown.qmg + PowerOff.ogg so i hope you fix the pc problem soon to try it

:good: GL!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Tubular Tos:
Thanks for your reply Xessus !

My XP is updated ! So no problem with this i guess ! Maybe ST Designer is the only problem since every folders are in place but when i run it it show me like if a folder in "showcase" was missed ! ...i mean the default non touch phone is in the showcase folder so why i can choose it in the program !??!

I took an eye in the samsung forum about ST designer and it seems some people got the same problem on XP but the team didn't found much solutions for the moment ! They ask to update windows , uninstall ST Designer, clean registry and install again !

Everything is ok in my Galaxy ( rooted Siyah and Jelly bean official ) , only shutdown.zip and shutdown.ogg don't work ! ...i even managed to unboot the siyah eye logo at startup ( i thank him for his kernel but his logo is really awful ! lol ) ! lol

For the moment i replaced an official shutdown.qmg but i would like to get a personal one ! ...and tried a lot of solutions for the sound but still doesn't work !
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Tubular Tos:
;) Thanks again Xessus !!

i've found another solution .. :rolleyes: didn't remember i have a laptop running Vista that i don't use anymore ,the screen is broken in a corner but it still works so i installed ST designer on this one and managed to do a shutdown animation ! And it works great !!

..now i have to found a solution for shutdown.ogg that i can't hear .

;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
Nice. The name is PowerOff.ogg

S4 Active

Trying to use this with my SGS4 Active (Since there are no ROMs for it yet, bootloader still locked. ;) )

I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing this wrong, but for whatever reason I can't get the resulting files displayed on my phone.

It seems kachito was on to something, so I tried simply using two frames generated by screenshots taken on the device 1080x1920.

I've attached the source files for your perusal (I'm intending on converting the nexus7 boot animation), see if I'm doing anything wrong here.

I know that the original boot animation I'm trying to convert probably isn't of the correct dimensions ( 512x256 != 1080x1920 ), but as to why merely using screenshots from the device itself don't work kinda baffles me.

Funny thing is, the original bootsamsung.qmg is almost 30 Mb in size (for apparently 13 frames of AT&T animation :/ ), so I'm thinking it might be uncompressed bmp data?

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
hi Tsaukpaetra, welcome :)

ill test tomorrow but only kachito and anbech success with the qmg in bootanimation, so i hope to got some luck :good: and answer you a good news!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Tsaukpaetra:
Thanks! :)

After a little research though, it seems as if this phone doesn't use the "samsungani" executable found in other samsung phones, which partially explains why I've been having so much trouble. Attempting to use other bootanimation executables from other phones usually results in a beautiful white square in the middle of the screen (noanimation or anything), and sometimes a link error in the console (if run manually).

Issue with P6800

hi to all, i have done everything right and created a qmg. But i have problems with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6800) stock rom 4.0.4 with root.

Rootexplorer tells me i have no rights to write in the /system/media folder. i have tried ti manage the rights with it, but same error again.

is anyone able to help me please?

Ah. Thanks for the hint. Now im able to R/W in the folders. Next probelm i have is my tab skips my self-made animations but the original works fine as always. :S
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] robcop19:
Aqui

ill put the zip here from the pm. i had to add .zip again
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] 666Shadow:
i think i have some issues with this problem mentioned in the first post.

my original bootsamsung.qmg and the shutdown work both fine on my s3 and my tab 7.7. they only skip my custom ones...

i think its because i have the stock rom installed on both phones and the samsungani in custom roms are modified.

has anybody experience with my problem and is able to help me?

PS: qmg files are made correct and the R/W settings are also fine...

[MENTION=5139272]xessus[/MENTION], Hey mate I tried to make my ROM's shutdown animation using your guide but I am stuck in a weird problem here... now after creating shutdown.qmg and placing it in system > media > video > shutdown... if I restart or turn off, I still see the stock samsung shutdown animation not mine.... so any idea why this is happening?

My shutdown animation has 100 pictures in 480 x 800 resolution....
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
:confused: noup... are you using stock rom and stock kernel? that problem happens but with bootanimation, never with the shutdown :confused:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
Um no, stock firmware (UBLPH) and CoCore E 7.0... I tried it a couple of times, no matter what I do, my phone still plays stock shutdown and boot animation... if I delete them, all I get is a blank or a black screen after the Samsung Logo and then my lockscreen... I just don't know why my phone ignores my shutdown.qmg and bootanimation.zip :confused:

download you "Chuckybean shutdown animation (qmg)",is the same.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Marcus Suridius:
First wanted to say thanks for this thread, its fantastic.

I have used one of the New Future v2 shutdown animation which works and is excellent, I tried making my own startup animation and did it with the Samsung designer. I did everything said on the tutorial including taking the qmg file and sending it to my phone, I placed it in the right location but when I restart my phone it still shows the Samsung default animation (which I sent to my pc for a backup) and then deleted it from the phone.

I have no idea why it stills shows up the old one cause I can't find it anywhere on the phone, I have attached screenshots to show the settings on the theme manager and were I placed the file.

**Forgot to add its stock rom, only have customer kernal installed.**
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
I have the same problem.... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Marcus Suridius:
I just tested the boot animation I made to make sure its setup correctly, I used it for the shutdown animation and it showed up perfectly. Size and everything else was perfect.

Im uploading it here incase anyone wants to try it, its only for those over 16 as it contains a curse word slagging of Apple.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
Is there a way to extract the bootanimation from Samsung and make it into a zip?

Could someone do it for me?, or tell me how I can do that

I like sammy's animation, and I would like to make it work on other devices using cm

Can I use this tutorial to put qmgs on other phones that have qvga display??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] xessus:
Hi, there is no comercial software to open - recompile qmg files.

Yes you can use it. But many people have troubles with stock roms. I recommend you to read the full thread. You can fin some answers and tips

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] biglil1:
You have to make two parts: bootsamsung and a bootsamsungloop.

So lets say you have 50 images altogether; open new project in frames type 28. Make your smt file then when you pull .qmg from the created folder rename it bootsamsung. Open new project again and use the remaining 22 images. When that one is done rename to bootsamsungloop; place in system/media and your good to go.

Thats how I got it to work on my S4.

Sorry about the terminology I'm not on my pc to see how its actually worded but hopefully you get what I mean

Hey guys!

AWESOME WOORK!!!

I don't know what the images' resolution for i9505 should be...

I followed this tutorial to the end with 480x800 images and with 720x1080 and none worked...

Am stuck :'(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] shut_down:
Your phone has 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] boydee:
Ah, sure sure!!

Thanks.

I presume i should go ahead with remaking the custom boot screen then.

The other problem I faced was that the .qmg I got was huge when i was rendering for 720x1080 [about 15MB].

Is there a size limit for the bootscreen .qmg file or will fixing my resolutions solve the problem?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] shut_down:
I am not sure about size, you can try - just put your screen resolution.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anbech:
The only thing ive encountered when making qmg animations, is the limit of frames.. Im not at my pc right now, but i believe its around 255 frames.. Cant remember exactly though.. Hope that helps :)

QMG Files

Very nice tut. I finally got the hang of it and am generating many QMG's for Galaxy S3/S4/Note/2/3 for my friends. If anyone here can't figure it out or wants custom boot/shutdown QMG's, hit me up. Also starting on icon QMG's.

Free to XDA friends! Make take a little time as I am throwing together a couple of APK's for the Play store but requests are welcome.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I found that 960x540 also show up nicely bit 1920x1080 also works just huge files..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] DrPixel:
Not enough

It took awhile for me to get it to work also. I finally ended up with 20 images at 480x800 and used jpeg files for the first one to actually work. I ran the same with png's but it wouldn't run. I don't know why. Just kept experimenting. My QMG file is 1.20Mb and it runs smooth on shutdown.qmg or samsungboot.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] boydee:
Hey, do you think there's something wrong am doing?? I have followed the tut to the dot but i can't seem to get mine to work :(

I did a short video in AfterEffects [1920x1080] and exported it as a JPEG sequence.

I have the set of 151 JPEGS that i make into the .QMG using the theme maker software but to no avail :(

How did you go about with yours???

:( :(

I simply copied my edited IdleBgAnimation.qmg to system/media/ and replaced the bootanimation.qmg that was there, then changed the permissions to RW-R-R

I also tried taking it to /system/media/videos/ and replaced the shutdown.qmg file that was there, but that one also didn't work.

On both accounts, the screen stayed black [didn't display the boot or shutdown animation]
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] boydee:
Have the same problem on my i9505

I don't know why. The stock samsung bootscreen qmg works perfectly however!

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Tried it exactly as you specified, but it hasn't worked..

I have 151 pictures. I used 91 for bootsamsung and the remaining 60 for the bootsamsungloop.

Am on stock rooted 4.2.2 on an i9505

What could be the problem??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] fred_up:
I have a i9305 (Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE) running stock rom with Pegasus Kernel.

I have went through the instructions/video but have a couple of problems:

The shutdown.qmg plays as the phone shuts down, but the images are showing at the wrong scale with overlapping (roughly 4 overlapping tiles). The actual pictures are 720x1280 jpeg (same resolution as the phone). EDIT reduced the amount of images to 100 and the frame duration of to 40ms (was 33ms) and the scaling issue has gone.

I used the same file to replace the bootsamsung.qmg (left the bootsamsungloop.qmg alone) files. When the phone boots up I get the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo then blank screen (where the T-Mobile animation should be). The Samsung logo which normally comes next doesn't appear and finally the phone is booted up. EDIT reduced the amount of images to 100 and the frame duration of to 40ms (was 33ms) and the scaling issue has gone. Also the bootsamsungloop.qmg appeared.

There is no difference in time between original and changed systems in booting up and shutting down. So I assume that the bootsamsungloop.qmg is not appearing as the animation I created is about as long as the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg combined.

I will do more tests to find out if it was the frame rate being too high (this was taken from the original bootanimation.zip that I am using) or the amount of images.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] biglil1:
The only thing different that I did was my image format is PNG. After that I'd say try to shorten the amount of images per file. I'm still learning this type of bootanimation as well. Hope it helps!!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] boydee:
thanks!

After a bunch of reading around, it turns out that the people on STOCK kernel [like me] are the ones who encounter these problems sometimes.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] biglil1:
I made this one from a request: Diablo 3 it's a zip just extract and then place on your phone in system/media set permissions to rw-r-r . I tested this one multiple times on a stock kernel. If it doesn't work rename the Shutdown.qmg to Shutdown.qmg.bak then reboot. After looking at mine I don't have a shutdown.qmg enabled. There was a reason why I did that but I can't find the site I was reading that explained it and I don't want to be misleading so I don't even want to try to explain it.

Hi everyone, I wonder is there any other way to partition the sdcard to move app to SD card other than link2sd. Because whenever I install a room cook,I always flash my X8 to room stock,then root,xrecovery, and partition the SD card to install link2sd (I used 8GB class6 sdcard) . But I also know that if I partition the sdcard too much it would be harmful for the sd card. So I want to know is there any other way to have more space to install app to X8 without partition the Sd card? Or if anyone know how to install another room without having to wipe everything including the data (which means I have to partition the card again) ?

sorry about my English grammar. It's not my first language
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagger:
The answers are.

1.No there is no other way to increase your internal memory without partitioning your SD card.

2.if you don't want to install all apps again and again then either use the batch feature of titanium backup or first make. Nandroid backup of your ROM after installing all the apps.

now when you switch to another ROM then go to recovery --> backup and restore--> advanced restore and then click restore data..

Hope that it works for you.
