Minimalist Boot Animation

So saddly i spend about an entire day making a boot up animation for my rooted GS4 and after finishing it i realized that i needed CWM to flash it onto my phone. which is something as of right now is eluding me because the MF3/MK2 updates and their locked bootloaders. well i figured that i wouldn't want this to got to waste just because i cant use it so feel free to download it if you like. i went with a mat red with white lettering on top and a shadow drop off the lettering (Inspiration was the Vine App Logo) its a functioning boot animation from my stand point.

(ill give fair warning that this is my first boot animation and i have ran it through Boot Animation Factory and tried to make sure it all ran fluently from my end and from what i can tell it will work just as expected.)

Disclaimer: if you do not know what a boot animation is or know how to flash one then stay away from this file. NEVER step into something that you dont know what your doing. Read extensively about the subject before attempting. It is not my fault if your phone bricks/ Forever bootloops.

here is a gif of the animation

The Dots at the end will repeat untill bootup is done.

if you cant see the gif then here is the link to the picture

Minimalist Boot Up

Ill also attach it to the post.

also the sound added was the sound i wast going to add to the boot up sequence for added effect so i will link both the .ogg file and the .mp3 file als well as the animation. i hope you enjoy the animation. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CZ Eddie:
You don't have to flash it in CWM to get it to work.

Besides, that wouldn't have worked anyhow since you need to use QMG boot animations, not zips.

This thread might be able to help you convert your boot animation into a QMG boot animation. It worked great in 4.2. I suppose it'll work in 4.3 also but I've not tried it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Age135:
Well theres a file out that allows for zips to be used again on samsun phones it was founs on the note 2 and they claim it will work for all samsung phones. So no a zip ahoukd work. But ill look into making a qmd. And Ill be honest ive never flashed a boot animation b4 so. Yes I may have a lack of some knowledge but im willing to take risks being that its my phone, But just because I will doesnt mean people should just follow suit because I did it. When im not knowing if it will damage my phone. Also thank you for the link.

Hi guys. I'm using the 2.6 version of TWRP. It seems whenever I restore a backup things always seem to go wrong and the OS reboots the first 24-48 hours before things are eventually stable. Do I need to factory reset and wipe system, cache and dalvik cache before I restore a backup, or should restore simply take care of everything for me already when I'm switching from one ROM to another?

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
One of the reasons I don't backup.

But, yeah I suppose you would want to clear data and cache before you flashed a backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: restore

You should always wipe cache, data, system, dalvik cache and do a factory

reset before restoring a nandroid backup or flashing a new or different rom.

Doing a factory reset before restoring a nandroid backup will not make

you loose anything at all because the nandroid backup contains all your

settings, apps, mms, contacts and anything else you had in your rom

prior to making the nandroid backup.

It would also be best if you went to the play store and download the free app

"Goomanager" and use that to make sure you have the latest version of TWRP

for your phone.

Good luck!

Is it possible to use Themer while having CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Galaxy Note 2 ?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Absolutely, unfortunately Themer doesn't support custom DPI settings just yet, so all we ask is for you to set your DPI/resolution settings to default for Themer.
[Themer General Discussion] xforsakerx:
Thank's very much :) i wanted to ask before i started using it :D i see some themes that i'm really gonna enjoy
[Themer General Discussion] truthkillszz:
Any plans to support custom DPI's and just allow us to realign anything that is out of place? For example I have a note 3 and now that cm11 is out I need my phone running at 400 dpi instead of 480 plus my navbar. Might it be possible to create a sort of section where we can enter our phones actual dimensions, our current dpi and the size of our navbar?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Custom DPI support will come in the future, but right now we just don't have the resources. It would require the whole team to spend a few weeks implementing it, which right now is being used to improve the overall performance/remove bugs and add in some much needed features. Once Themer is more stable and we have some more resources, the dev team will look into custom DPI support :fingers-crossed:
[Themer General Discussion] hispanico957:
....we love THEMER but also CM... and we hope to have DPI at soon at possible... :)

Hispanico
[Themer General Discussion] truthkillszz:
Odd thing is that when I was running a stock rom on my Note 3 I changed the dpi from 480 to 400 and it worked but I just needed to reorganize the widgets. But on cm I don't even have a chance to apply a theme
[Themer General Discussion] diiacoo:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
On the BBC radio site where is has a link that says listen using stand alone real player, right click and copy that link to your wizard. Clicking on that file should open real player and begin to play your broadcast.

RealPlayer Link

Here is the link to download the CAB file so you can install Realplayer on your WM5 device without activesync.

http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7160593

Copy the file to your Pocket PC and click on it to install.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nssrac:
CAB files within the exe file

If you start to use the realplayer executable file while connected through Activesync but do not complete the install process ie while the install screen is still open go to

START/RUN and type %TMP%

This will open the install directory. Look for a sub dir call ~rmsetup. Within that sub directory you will find the REALPLAYER.CAB file you need. Just copy into your temp directory on wizard and run as usual. It works for both the basic Realplayer and Realplayer with video beta downloadable from their site.

Hope I've explained it clearly enough.

There is also an explanation of how to make the exe file work with activesysnc on the Realplayer forum but I found the above solutions easier.

Wow.. Just wow... Looks like your speaker grills haven't been put in properly.. Did he replace only the LCD or the LCD+front housing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroInfinity:
Most likely a bad speaker placement. It sounds to me that the "technician" didn't place the speakers properly and it probably is now always in contact with the aluminium grills. That will cause weird audio creaking noise as the speaker vibrations are vibrating the aluminium grills as well. That's why if you press on the speaker grills, it will stop that extra vibration from the speaker grills. Beats Audio will just make more vibrations in the speakers and worsen your problem.

I suggest you find another "technician" because the one you went to is clearly stupid.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fujisan582:
Thanks for the replies!

He replaced the full front housing to make sure we would not have problems fitting the speaker grills again.

Sounds like you are on to something. I got a similar answer on ifixit where I posted the issue.

Will get the guy to open my one up again and make sure the speaker is properly in place before ordering a new one. These suckers are $2, but shipping from HongKong is $23!

Thanks again for your help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Hi Zero, probably should start a new thread for this, but I've noticed this in all the Ones I've seen. What happens is the Upper speaker has good amounts of bass and treble but very low midrange. On the other hand, the lower speaker has good midrange, okay bass, and lacking treble. That's exactly why it sounds uneven. Can you please make a mod to solve this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fujisan582:
For anyone interested in an update - the issue doesn`t come from vibration on the grilles. There is a small rubber around the speaker to prevent that and we doubled it to see if it makes any difference. It doesn`t. We realized that the noise was coming from some kind of short circuit whenever we pressed the daugther board along the top of the phone (we could hear a small buzz each time we pressed it). Next stop = electronics technician...

Hi there!

I have a Samsung Galaxy ace plus S7500 (vodafone Portugal).

After my phone battery discharged, when I tried to charge it back it didn't boot. And now my cellphone is in a constante boot loop. My phone has not any root. It appears the samsung logo, then my model and then it boots again. I Have already wipe cache and made a Factory Reset.. Any idea how to solve it whithout taking the risk of voiding warranty?

Thank very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
but for wiping cache and factory reset you need a recovery so your warranty is already void...

anyway flash stock through odin v3 (i dont know if v4 works well), it will not void your warranty, it will even recover it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] edgar1985:

No, I used the recovery from the original rom through the combination of the buttons. I didn't installed any other software to do it. Thanks anyway. The cellphone was already sent to the repair center of samsung, and they have already fixed it. Problem Solved :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
Hello everyone, I am in need of serious help. I have the Verizon Galaxy S3 4.3 and I have hardbricked the device. The phone is completely unresponsive.

I will attempt to give all the details of how I came to this without boring everyone to death with inane facts. So here goes; I first rooted the phone around November. Used Odin, had ClockworkMod installed and even managed to teach myself (with the help of folks like you all here), how to circumvent Verizon's pesky bootloaders (both unlocked and then relocked). Everything was running smoothly until I had left my phone unattended and plugged into my computer. The Verizon updater forced 4.3 on me leaving me scrambling to figure out to to regain root access. I did manage to gain the root access (although, I'm not 100% sure how so) and once again, everything was fine.

I began using TitaniumBackup to starting removing some bloatware and moving system apps to the SD card. I decided that I had no use for the "Samsung Link" app and I removed it. Once I returned from the reboot, I noticed that the icon for the bootloader was on the screen indicating that it was unlocked. I the did a quick search and app file for the "EZ Unlock" app. I installed the file, ran the program, did and reset and DEAD. Nothing. I've sat at the PC for the better part of the last 24 hours, have read hundreds of posts and tried more methods than I care to count. So far nothing has worked.

I'm desperately hoping that I will be able to find my answers by reaching out to the community as I have no funds to send my phone anywhere and I am past the warranty period. You guys are probably my last hope. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. It means a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Ok, Can you boot to Odin mode (dowload mode)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I doubt you'll bore us here, after all we dwell in the minutiae and tiniest of details for fun. Hmm, from what I see you have a bootloader hard brick since you tried using EZ Unlock. TW 4.3 prevents downgrading the rom to pre-4.3, flashing an unlocked bootloader, and installing a custom recovery using 4.1.2 methods. Your best option will be to try the steps detailed in this bootloader/hardbrick thread by SpyroDazee.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
No. Once I used EZ Unlock, I was bricked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
I've looked at this particular guide the most. Where I fail there is the post calls to use Win32diskimager with the unzipped debrick.bin. I cant get Win32 to recognize the file and get error code 5: need permission (or something like that) and I run the program in Admin mode.

The only file I've found so far that Win32 does actually write to my SD card is Debrick-i535.img. http://angelfirenetworks.servegame.com/XDA/S3 Debrick IMG_s/

And then I can seem to make that run either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Always_Jonezen:
I also have bricked S3 different circumstances but still hard bricked. Nothing I've tried here on xda or anywhere else has worked. I'm going to try this http://www.ebay.com/itm/281217379767?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 . It is probably the cheapest and easiest way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It usually takes a few tries to get it to work, but if you really can't then you can always send it in for a jtag repair.

Mobile tech videos will do it, and there's someone on eBay who will do it for $30. Not too expensive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
So I just downloaded the debrick.zip and Win32 program from my link onto my laptop. I saved the unzipped debrick folder onto my desktop and found the debrick.bin once I switched the "Files of type" to "." then I just wrote the debrick.bin to a 512 mb sdcard with no problems. I'm not going any further cuz I have no need for this though. Are you saying that Win32 doesn't find the bin file at all?

Edit: I just ran it again and it worked a second time. My backup laptop is a 2006ish (maybe older) with a very outdated version of Windows and my sdcard has been unused since 2008. I don't know what else to tell you but it worked surprisingly well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
The Win32 program finds the debrick.bin file when I switch to "." as well. But when I click WRITE, I get an error message and the file doesnt't write to the sd card. I'm using a HP Windows 7 Pro (2009) and I have a 32gb, class 10 sd card. I will run it again to double check.

Follow Up: I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was attempting to pull the "bin" file through Win32 and should have been pulling the "zip" file instead. I was able to write the debrick.zip file onto my SD card but wasn't (on first attempt) able to load my phone. Are there any other steps I may have misunderstood or overlooked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you tried formatting the sdcard and running the program again? Set it to Fat32. I'm thinking it may be the sdcard and not the program itself but I'm not certain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
VICTORY!!!!!!! - I made several mistakes in getting to this point but i have successfully retrieved my phone from it's previous HardBrick status. The steps it took me to get to this point were, make sure the sd card is formatted (FAT32) and

empty

, unzip the debrick.zip file, run the Win32 program, select the unzipped debrick.bin file and upload it to the F drive, then click Write. So, more or less, exactly what the instructions told me to do. Sometimes, it's the simple things that we're most often missing or not understanding.

THANK YOU to everyone and especially SlimSnoopOS for talking me through it and SpyroDazee for making such a comprehensive guide to work with. (although, it's simplicity was too complex for me. :) ). :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Always_Jonezen:
What is your phone doing after you inserted your sdcard and what size card and class were they. If you got it to go into download mode or some call it Odin mode by pressing volume down, home button and power button then your off to a great start to bringing your phone back from the dead. If only it worked for mine:(

Where did you get the debrick.zip file? Every time I download the file it comes as debrick.img not a .zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
Edit: My SD Card is a 32gb class 10. Once I got Win32 to extract the file properly, I put the SD card back into the phone, put the battery in, and plugged phone into computer. Pushed the power button and the phone came back on.

When you go to download that file with Win32, change the file type to "." - then you'll be able to select the debrick.zip

All files were obtained here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Always_Jonezen:
Thanks I hope it works too. Am I supposed to change the file type of the debrick.img to debrick. and or change the file type in win32
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
They did exactly what I posted, which was: unzip the debrick.zip, open Win32 and change the file type to ".", find the unzipped debrick folder and select the debrick.bin, and write to the sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Always_Jonezen:
As stated earlier when I download the debrick file it downloads as debrick.img not a zip file am I missing something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Did you brick BEFORE 4.3? I hovered over this link in SpyroDazee's post: "Debrick if you bricked before 4.3 OTA" and that's the only one that would download as an IMG. Press "Debrick if you took the 4.3 OTA" and it will download as a zip.

Or change the browser that you're using. I downloaded it using Chrome on my MBP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Always_Jonezen:
I did brick on 4.1.2 and I am using chrome as my default browser
