Boot animation ready

[MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION]

I've made a RC for the boot animation now, I could prepare it in all resolutions you need (from 240 to 1600), it looks like this:

[YOUTUBE]M7AKYEPfEJU&hd=1[/YOUTUBE]

Do you like it?

I just need a hint for audio: I can't yet get the audio working during the boot, I will figure out why hopefully already this Sunday.

Install guide for users:

unzip attached zip file: you will find bootanimation.zip in 720x720 and for this moment you can ignore two audio files

use root browser (or root explorer) to paste bootanimation.zip to: system/media (it will replace the CM boot animation)

if you want to save the CM animation, copy it before to any other place on your storage

set the permissions of the attached boot animation zip to: rw-r--r--

enjoy BlueLigtnings :)

For the people who are not familiar with the permissions, so should it look like:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sms2000:
OK. Build succeeded.

Thanks.

[MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION]

EDIT:Guys, I have rendered the animation to all formats you need, bootanimation zips are ready to merge to the next builds. You will find in the 7zip file also the sound samples for the animation in two formats. Would be great to enable sound if possible.

I have PM'ed to both of you download links.

Looking forward!

bug report

I can't get su access neither in the shell, nor with the terminal emulator.

After entering "su" the SU access prompt isn't comming, no answer.

I've tried reflashing SuperSU-1.65 and re-installing of the busybox but no success yet.

I've noticed it on 20140126 then flashed cleanly 20140201 and restored only data from the last backup, still the same problem persists....

Logcat attached.

After installing the latest BL I have problems with Google Play. It cannot connect (No network) either with WiFi or 3G all the same.

Could anyone confirm the issue?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Darkje:
what do you consider latest BL... I sure not hope you installed knox
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sms2000:
Oops, not the Boot Loader. The Blue Lightning. Confusing...

I received 1/2/14 update and installed.

1. "Google Play" cannot connect.

2. "Android Weather" has an issue: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY.

Seems to me the update broken.

Dropped back to 26/1/14, everything is OK.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Machiel187:
Same here, no connection with Goog play aswell after using OTA update.

Going back 1 version aswell. Perhaps take the ota offline.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
Also for [MENTION=2293545]Machiel187[/MENTION]

It isn't an issue, you have to flash Gapps after the ROM, then it will work again.

(EDIT: deleted workflow for the boot sound, isn't working)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Machiel187:
[MENTION=5051515]tetakpatak[/MENTION]

I did reinstall Gapps, latest PA Gapps package, still the no connection issue.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
Try these instead:

gapps-kk-20140113.zip 83.47MB

http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener/GAPPS

I would reflash the ROM, then Gapps, then SuperSU
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Machiel187:
Yeah I thought it might be something related to the gapps package. Was already downloading this version. Thanks for the tip though, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rytterbomb:
lots of crashing as well

Just to say I'm having the same issues here. Play store will not connect and most other apps are crashing when starting. FYI, I just flashed the new zip over my existing install and wiped cache/dalvik. Will hope that doing the same with the previous version will restore the epic win, best ROM out there currently! Must be more patient and run a backup next time! Numpty.. :)

Edit: Just saw the post left while I was leaving this and can confirm re-installing these 3 zip has resolved all issues on the phone. Happy face!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
Boot sound

[MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]

It looks like the CyanogenMod boot.img has only the scripts for running the boot animation but not for playing the sound.

Can you check if it is correct?

If the script can be added, we will have the lightning sound. If not, no.... only in the video... :(

I did whole the procedure to make the boot sound to work, but it wasn't possible, look here how my "fight" with the scripts looked like:

Calendar Issue

Hi

Installed last night. Initially could not get my calendar to sync to Google. Installed Google Calendar from Store and that worked and fixed the Calendar app. as well. ????

I don't like the messaging application. Looks weird.

What about Note 3 features ? I liked the pen functions, drawing on pictures etc... can that be incorporated somehow?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sms2000:
Same here exactly.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Could we investigate how the Boot Animation sound works for stock 4.3? Is it a kind of kernel incompatibility?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
No, it isn't kernel compatibility- much smaller problem.

If the boot.img has no scripts for boot sound, it simply can't perform boot sound.... at least not before the scripts get merged to the boot.img :D

I'm curious if ThdDude will ever answer this. Maybe it is only two of us who would like to have a boot sound.

BTW, it is maybe even better to skip it.... first day when I was rendering the boot animation and heard the lightning sound often, I had a nightmare in that night and dreamed that I was killed by a lightning! .... it's frightening....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sms2000:
It would be nice to have an option to run with/without sound according to, say, last Multimedia Volume value.

Silenced mode - no sound when reboot. Plain mode - reboot with sound...

I used to have unstable ROMs which rebooted periodically at night frightening my wife. I was boycotted for nights every time the phone made such a noise at 2am.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
LOL :D

My wife would also give me a hell for that!

BTW it is never a problem to disable the sound. Either with scripts or simply by turning the volume down to zero.....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tetakpatak:
Boot animation sound solution

We are getting closer now:

Inside the ramdisk of the boot.img is a file called init.rc.

Inside init.rc is where the bootanimation is triggered.

There is no bootup sound portion in init.rc.

service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
class main
user graphics
group graphics
disabled
oneshot

[MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]

Can you merge the script for bootup sound to the init.rc?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elosogrande7076:
I did and everything worked just fine. I just switched to T-mobile today and got a new note 3. Read about the Kingo here and decided to try it out as I didnt want to trip Knox. I went through the prompts and saw that it said 4.2 but kept going and didnt have any problems with the remaining installation process. Im fully rooted and everything looks good! Just follow the prompts and you should be good Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rlee008:
im rooted on 4.3 with kingo without any problems. just go ahead, follow the prompts and you'll be rooted in minutes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PTJunkie1975:
this method works fine, but in my case it tripped Knox...it asked me to install an app called Mtkcamera, I declined, Kingo kinda froze, then rebooted, when I went to check the Knox counter it was tripped....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iandy1:
Think I dodge the bullet. I declined also on the Mtcamera but it continue working until the warning of a custom recovery

being installed. I had to cancel. I got no root yet and checking download mode, Knox still 0.

People that were able to root successfully without tripping knox, also got the custom recovery being installed warning?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Troy1:
Well at least you the warning. When I used Kingo I saw no warning and the next thing I knew I had cwm on my phone and the knox warranty was tripped. .. crying lol... But it's okay. Probably would have put a custom recovery on it eventually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rlee008:
did you guys go to the kingo website and use their latest software? i didn't get any of that mtkcamera or cwm installed on my device. my knox is still 0x0. i wondering if you clicked on an outdated link to kingo's software
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iandy1:
Sorry about that. What version of Kingo root you use and from where you downloaded it?

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Mine is version 1.1.8.1835 from c-net's download.com uploaded on 1/10/14.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Yep, thats what what I got and it worked well, I just don't remember where did I downloaded it. Another possibility, however remote, just came to my mind: did anyone, who did get the flag tripped, play with Knox? It comes partially preinstalled, but if you run it, it will download and install some more files. I was speculating, maybe that caused Samsung update some extra files that trip Knox, they already patched anything above MJ7 and even if you uninstall Knox some new things are left behind. Just a crazy idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
Root De La Vega is a bit safer. Lots of spyware/IEMI stealing rumors about Kingo. Thaat said if there was no other way I'd have used them too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elosogrande7076:
I was able to successfully root with Kingo. I remember getting the warning about installing MTK camera app but I accepted it. I did not get any additional warning during installation and I am rooted with Knox still at 0x0.

I received the latest version of the software 1.18. I saw something on their facebook page stating that it can use custom recovery as a way to gain root. Im thinking it some how uses the camera app to gain root and if you decline it, then it has to use the custom recovery option.

My Magician is a standard MDA Compact from T-Mobile UK. It is a year old and I updated it with the 1.11.00 WWE BigStorage ROM a while ago. I'm looking to sell it, and just wanted to return it to it's standard T-Mobile settings for the new seller.

Do I also need a card reader for this upgrade?

Actually nevertheless everything stands in the description of T-Online in it. What is the question?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Yes you can use that update. It's a so called shipped-rom & needs to be executed on your PC. Just connect your magician with usb to your PC and allow act.sync to use the usb connection. Then execute the update program & follow what's on the screen.

But before you use this update make sure you got >8MB data in your storage folder otherwise you'll loose this folder completely.

This sounds like a permissions issue that a lot of 3rd party apps are having.

Due to Kitkat's security features only apps that are signed correctly & have the right permissions can use internal/external storge. They are allowed to read but not write. Until the app you want to install is fixed to be usable you won't be able to install it as it needs write permission to install on the sd card....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh_james15:
Simple Fix

I've had this problem, best way to get it working is to:

1 - Ensure app is not saved on SD card

5 - Remount SD card
