Really...that's just ridiculous...

Bootanimations is just collection of pictures with a txt file needed to tell resolution and what to play...

There's absolutely no chance at all that bootanimations cause navigation bar errors.

Flash clean ROM and bootanimations and you'll see there's no problems.

I was using same ROM and same animation for month and - that's not possible.

You first have to understand what's bootanimation, what's systemUI and how they are working...

If you understand that you would never say something like that...

It's totally fine with me if you don't like it but to claim you have status or navigation bar problem because of bootanimation is just insane...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] guybrush2099:
I'm completely agree it's strange, but I'm not the newest in Android world. For some reason if I flash it on this kitkat rom it causes this problem. Other firmwares are always ok.

We have to accept it, as absurd as it may seem...

It could be caused by the playing time or something else we don't know, something introduced by kitkat on z1 or modules etc

It simply happens, so it's not impossible :P

Awesome work buddy..

I was wondering if you can make it for xperia go(320*480)

If you'll then in place of honami can you put Go there in the sanme font and texture plz.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
I promised raw files so you could all build your own animation with a text you need.

I'm working momentarily on something what's very important and I'm kinda late with it - so I'll have to finish that first.

But I'll try to make that happen - this weekend.

I'll open thread in cross section.

You'll have

1. Tutorial

2. Apps/ Programs for (editing, resizing, building bootanimation and previewing bootanimations)

3. Shell of flashable ZIP (empty folder for your animation and META-INF folder) so your job will be easier

3. Fonts (original DOS fonts)

4. PSD files for animation (already finished pictures with all text except device name and device specifications) - you'll just have to enter few informations and save files in PNG format.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
Awesome animation!

I had a biostar bootanimation for my old Milestone and it was always my favourite :D

Unfortunately this gags at the end for me and freezes up on the honami screen with red lettering and reboots.

So I messed with it a bit... heh.

I also really like the stock wavey thingy so what I did was...

1. Cut the honami part at the end.

2. Added the stock sony wave

3. Optimized the size of the jpegs.

4. Made the framerate much faster but tweaked it so that the first 2 parts actually last longer while the sony wave is faster than usual.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
If you want to make your animation using parts of mine - it's OK, just please ask first.

I'm not talking for this, that's OK - it's here on same thread.

I'll fix and improve animation (probably) today...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] BlackSoulxxx:
Re

The problem with Kitkat rom are real. The nav bar just gone, along with Notification bar. Also the bootloop too

P/S: Sony Kitkat update is s*ck, first camera problem and now sound problem...etc :silly::silly::silly:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
oh it was just something I did for myself to make it work how I like.

I'm not getting into theming lol
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
You can use my themes (not only you, but everyone), that's not problem...

Just if you opening new thread - tell me and give all credits...

That's all...

We need new themes and animations so if you have so time - that would be great...

;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
Nah I got too much other stuff to do.

BUT did you know you can add a bootanim.mp3 to the zip and the sound will play automatically?

I just got it to work LOL

Sound volume on boot is determined by:

/data/property/persist.sys.boot.sound.volume

I'm having trouble getting the setting to work in build.prop tho...

persist.sys.boot.sound.volume=50 won't change the contents of the file mentioned above.

Changing the file manually doesn't stick after reboot either.

But this works... in terminal or via ADB you type:

setprop persist.sys.boot.sound.volume 50

And the setting will actually persist after reboot.

Boot sound volume is determined by the media volume setting.

Anyway... I uploaded the new one...

I hope you like guitar riffs... heh...

BIO_Star_Wavey_Honami_w_Sound.zip

http://d-h.st/uiF
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Yeah...I know that...

Somewhere on giant xda sea is one of my first bootanimations - called Crytek.

It's logo from Crisys (game) and it's with a sound...

Basically you can mute or low volume in settings/sounds/volumes (first slider) it'll stick even when you restart device...

But, it'll affect all other apps as well...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
Oh hey thanks!

The media volume seems to be the only reliable way to set boot sound volume.

I was messing with the persist setting but it wasn't working as expected.

I haven't had a boot sound since forever.

Plus your awesome work I'm really liking it alot :D
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
I just cant get it working :( it just bootloops. I read on the internet & many users ending with bootloops after flashing custom bootanimation, dont know why :c

Now i am on kit kat 4.4.2, CriskeloRom V5 and Doomkernel V12.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
Try the one I modified. Original bootlooped for me too.

See quote below.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] guybrush2099:
what's your recovery version?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
All i get is installation aborted.

CWM based recovery V 6.0.4.7
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
oh crap I didn't make it flashable... I'm so used to doing/installing stuff manually.

If you can just replace the bootanimation.zip inside the original flashable zip with the one I made(rename to bootanimation.zip) and flash that.

Or you can manually put it in /system/media and set permissions to 644 as shown here http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/09/23/install-the-new-xperia-t-boot-animation-guide/

Uh.. or I can make a flashable one if ppl want :p
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Haha oh crap & i thought it was for flashing :D ^^

No problem m8, i can do it without flashing, just thought it was made for that haha.

Will try again then ;)

Thx

Edit- Yours is working ! :D Well, nice! Many thanks.

Can i just slow the bios part down a littl bit for myself -manually?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
You can lower down fps in desc file but that will affect on whole animation.

The best way is to double or even make more copies of same pngs inside bootanimation so it'll last longer in slower animation.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
See below...

Actually there's a workaround to make some of it play slower than the rest...

1080 1920 30
p 1 8 part0
p 1 8 part1
p 0 0 part2

The 30 on the top line makes the animation 30 fps (I made it faster than the default 24 since the stock wavey part is a bit slow for me lol)

The wavey part is on the last line (part2)

If you change the 8 on the part0 line to 16 (the bios part of it), will take twice as long to play back.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Thanks, so as i understand all i need is to Change from 8 to 16, in Part 0,to double the bios time, am i right? Thank you for Quick answers.

Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
yes that's right :)

So it would look like this

1080 1920 30
p 1 16 part0
p 1 8 part1
p 0 0 part2
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Well, thank you, nice! :D will try it out when i come home.

would it work if i would write 24 or 32, would it become 3x- 4x slower ? :)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
It should.

But I just read that there might be maximum of only 10 allowed :p
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
Well I tried and it didn't work as hoped.

Since you asked, I removed the honami part and doubled up the bios images.

Luckily I didnt have to rename all the files.

I did a simple bash command to copy all the files with a dot at the end of the file name so the copy has a ".jpg." extension... and it works as is LOL

If you don't like the sound, just delete the mp3 from the zip (again non flashable)

http://d-h.st/4kr
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] LLars_PL:
Thank you very very much for taking your time for doing that for me !!!

I appreciate your work, thanks!

I can enter the pin code and unlock the phone but the home button has no function. I've tried to restart the phone but the powermenu was empty because I have disabled all options of powermenu when device is locked, but it isn't locked... :/ Restarting "system.ui" fixed home button and powermenu but after rebooting the same issues again :( for my luck I've made a backup ;)

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Just replace bootanimation.zip from system/media or delete it and add another one...

It's not possible that animation do something like that but OK.

Actually, you can totally remove that zip (bootanimation.zip) from your system and system will still boot, without animation but it'll boot.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] BlackSoulxxx:
Any chance of KK version? :D

I love this bootanimation...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakatomia:
Hi and million thanks in advance for any help, and excuse my english im from Venezuela.

First i can say that i read about EMMC problems, i want to be sure because i leave my phone with a technician and the conclusion was a EMMC problem or some kind of hardware problem, he tried with several firmwares.

I read that on EMMC problems or sudden death, when you are in download mode, product name doesn´t say GT-N7100 like this:

Odin Mode

Product Name: GT-N7100

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Knox Warranty Void: 0

Rp Swrev:

Before this happens the phone get many forced restarts, it was on Jelly Bean 4.3, sometimes just froze at random times, then i get into recovery and wipe date, after that the phone starts like new but where i was reading the steps to wipe the phone properly i read that i had to wipe cache too, so i entered recovery again and wipe data then i wipe cache, when the phone restarted it just stay on Galax Note logo, i waited like 45 minutes and remove battery.

When i tried to enter recovery again i couldnt, i was happy that the phone entered download mode so i get a new 4.3 firmware, downloaded odin and tried to install the firmware, odin failed to install and said Theres no pit partition.

Appreciate the help that anybody can give me, i even didnt care if i have to install a custom firmare with custom recovery, i dont have warranty here in Venezuela and i think technicians are sometimes clueless with thins kind of problems.

Have a really nice day.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakatomia:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hzyn:
I think that you have to install the new bootloader mj5 by Odin from the download mode

Try it and tell me what happened.?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentvisitor:
Never flash your phone untill you have read all the possible problems and their solutions

Anyways, here's what you should do :

1) Download PhilZ or TWRP Recovery to your PC. You need tar.md5 extension files

2) Download some good custom ROM like Ditto Note v3.2, Phoenix v17, DrKetan v6.1, JellyKat v3, etc. Keep it on your External SDcard.

3) Flash any Recovery that you downloaded (PhilZ or TWRP) through ODIN. Put file in PDA tab and UNTICK Repartiton and Auto Reboot.

4) Remove phone from PC when ODIN says PASS. Remove battery. Re-insert battery and start phone in Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power)

5) Now wipe data/factory reset

6) Flash any Custom ROM that you downloaded and placed on External SDCard.

7) Reboot System

8) You should be good :good:

Good luck !!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakatomia:
Thanks

Thank you very much for your kind response i was feeling alone around here hahahaha

I already tried that method but everytime i flash something, CWM, Philz, TWRP, Pit File for N7100 16gb, 4.3 jelly bean Bootloader, i get the same There is no pit partition error.

I kinda lost hope right now but everytime that happens i remember again that one of the requisites of the nefarious SDS sudden death, fried EMMC is that in download mode Product Name should be Empty, so theres is a ray of light in the end maybe.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakatomia:
Hi and thank you, i tried that specific bootloader but still the same There is no pit partition again, i dont know what to do but still i have hopes about product name not blank

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mebbez:
Hello!

I've had a search of my issue but so far not been able to find any related answers

I'm wanting to try the other kernels that are available, Trinity, Elemental etc However, when i flash the different kernels it leaves the UI of the current ROM installation corrupt and I can't even get past my lock screen. Status bar is at the bottom and the rest of the UI is shifted up. Reflashing franco fixes the problem and the ROM returns to normal.

Is this simply a case of needing to reinstall the ROM, and I'm just being lazy and expecting kernels to be swappable like this?

Many thanks for any help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
because you are on franco kernel, you will need to dirty flash your rom first(without wiping anything). franco kernel also changes system files. dirty flash your rom, gapps, and new kernel, then boot up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mebbez:
Thanks a lot for the fast reply. I'll give it a shot!

Does dirty flashing the rom have an effect on the overall performance? Is it always better to do a clean install when trying to get the most out of your device?

Thanks again.

na, doesnt affect a thing. i dirty flash nearly 100% of the time :)
