splashscreens

BY BRADLEY129

So here it is im a noob and got tired of using other peoples work and not contributing and being a noob this is the best i could do.

These splash screens are for popular touchwiz roms and i will take requests.

Im Sorry if they are no good i have no good as i have no professional software.

I hope i am not breaking any rules.

All contributions are appreciated, good work. Wow my ROM just came out the other day and there are already quite a few splash screens... Awesome.

No links? [emoji26][emoji22]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah it might be a good idea since XDA converts them to jpeg, hence they don't work with dkp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
Sorry haven't had internet for a couple of days ill upload them to dropbox when I get home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Question: Where do the splash screens go, meaning where in the kernel? For example, I know that boot animations go in system/media, and you can change sounds (i.e., charger connection) system/media/audio/ui.

Thanks in advance!

Man for some reason this thread never showed up in my participated sorry. Anyway these are to be used with dkp you drkp them into the splash screen section of the dkp folder just click the pic and download the .PNG from photobucket.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
To answer your question, the way it works is that the init binary inside the boot.img ramdisk loads the initlogo.rle file to display as the kernel splash

To change the splash, you need to find a png that is sized correctly, convert it to an rle, and then replace the initlogo.rle inside the boot.img ramdisk with your new rle image

There are zips floating around that will do the bulk of the work for you...taking your new rle and then unpacking the boot.img, replacing initlogo.rle with your new rle, and then repacking and flashing the new boot.img

So then you only need to convert your png to an rle and flash it inside one of those zips

Good Day XDA! My Galaxy pocket wont turn on.Last 4 days I dropped my phone on our pail full of water on our garden. I didnt noticed it.I keep searching for it in our house but no hope. Last 2 days I found it and tried the rice technique to make it dry again. Today It wont turn on and I cant charge it. I borrowed the battery of my friend's SGP and thankfully my SGP turned on. But I tried my SGP battery on my friend's phone but my friends phone wont boot.Please Help Me!

My Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300)

-Stock Firmware

-Rooted

-with CWM recovery

the problem is on the battery any help?will i need to replace the battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jom_o1:
whaha

i got mine drowned on a 3ft swimming pool.

The Rice technique worked.. though i replaced the battery because it's not holding anymore charge.. try to replace.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Does your friend's battery charge while in your phone? If not, possibly the port was damaged as well. If that is the case, you can just buy a couple of batteries and an external battery charger, so whenever the phone dies, just pop the freshly charged battery in so you don't have to worry about being plugged into the wall all the time. Not sure what kind of options you have to buy stuff, but eBay typically has decent deals on batteries for Galaxy phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
Hello! My Galaxy Note 3 Exynos SM-N900 is now officialy a brick, so I guess this thread will help others to not do the same as I did. Here I go:

As you guys know, Exynos version of the Galaxy Note 3 doesn't have a lot of custom roms, so, I get tired of waiting for the kitkat update, donwloaded the Crisktelo rom 4.4.2, and flash it. Nothing wrong. The problem get with the camera, it works but takes so poor quality photos.

I tried to get back to stock, I get the Panama's TBA 4.4.2 stock firmware from Sammobile, because I am from Costa Rica and my Sammy is unlocked carrier free. Flashed as usual using Odin but the phone was the same no data was deleted, just the firmware changed. I wanted to get full wype to start again, backup everything and make factory reset using the menu on the phone. I totally forgot that the security option using Samsung Account to prevent theft was enabled. So I get to the screen of Samsung Account and get the ERR_0000 (Processing Failed) when I put my email and password for my Sammy Account. Aparently there is no way no get my phone back, this error is very weird in forums to happens and tried everything, from changing my password, by unsuscribing my account and enable it again. Flash the stock firmware several times, and as you know I can get the warranty because of the Know counter.

So maybe some of you are thinking to use that security feature, I guess if you use custom roms is a bad idea, but if you use stock there is no problem, even if your phone gets stolen, neither the thief or you can get it work again.

PS: I know ther is a thread similar to this one, but the difference is I KNOW my password and user, and this error is in the equation. So maybe I can get help or get help to others. Either way, I'm looking for a new phone, HTC One or LG G2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exprxp:
As u can see Processing Error means -> wrong email/account has been entered.

Please use the correct account fro N900 otherwise u need to perfrom EFS clear

Also, can you check REACTIVATION LOCK in download mode and post result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlatifolia:
That is surely an expensive lesson. I guess Samsung Service Center can help you out providing that u can bring prove of purchase and be prepared for some financial charges as this kind of thing is surely out of warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
I read the whole thread but apparently is not available for end users just for Samsung Support... I think that is the solution but I can`t do it. But thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
Indeed. My note 3 is just 3 months old, I have the invoice, I will send the phone this saturday to them, if they charge me more than $200 to do that I will let the phone as a loss and buy a new one. I'll update this thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exprxp:
Noone will charge you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0xp:
You're not alone here, and I can tell you that this problem has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you're using a custom rom, because my phone is on the stock 4.4 rom, and has never been rooted, wiped (until now), or tampered with.

This is not an "Expensive lesson," or a mistake on your part.

This is a broken feature of the note 3 device, and I have been on and off the phone with samsung all day.

So far there is nothing they can do from their end. And for those of you who are wondering, yes, you can log into your samsung account from your PC or whatever, but the activation lock will not let you in. I'm still working on resolving this issue. I think it's a problem with Samsung's login gateway to be honest. I experienced this last night at 10pm, and so far it hasn't been fixed.

So far I have this:

10pm - 7am EST: "Processing Failed.(ERR_0000)"

7am - 9am EST: "Unfortunately Samsung Login has stopped."

10am - 2pm EST: Processing failed

Between not letting me in and crashing, everything else has been pretty useless. Don't waste any more time formatting or wiping.

I CAN tell you that the minute I get back into the phone, I'm returning it to stock and putting it up for sale.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
Thanks! I try to spread this info to as many people as I can, Google+, Twitter, Facebook... People need to know that Samsung is doing this, and I know that this "feature" is not well implemented, I will go to the store and try to get a replacement. If Samsung is keeping this Knox and other security "fails" features, they are gonna keep me away from their products. Please keep updating if you get your device back working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
I have had the exact same experience. A guy from tech support in the US said that mine may be trying to authenticate in the US, but since it is from Panama, it is conflicting and causing the error. He also mentioned a seemingly universal unlock code that can be provided from Samsung in the UK. I have already spent 10USD adding Skype credit in order to contact them, but they were closed when I called. I'm going to attempt it tomorrow. I will be destroyed if I have to send my phone to Panama or a similar place; the wait and customs can be aggravating.

The phone was so awesome (minus the volume warnings and skype vs call app default selection not working) before I upgraded to KitKat. I just wanted to factory reset it to make it stable :/

We should warn people not to select that Samsung Account option; it is certainly not stable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0xp:
Yeah, that's definitely not a bad idea.

If you find out anything about this "universal unlock code," be sure to post it here for the rest of us!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
Will do. If you can beat me to it, here is the "elevated tech support" number US: 1-888-987-4357 and this is the number in the UK that he gave me for the probable pipe dream code lol 4401932454358.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
I talk with the support in Panamá today. Because I Live in Costa Rica, I can call them for free. They didn't tell me anything about the universal unlock code. But only I have to take my phone back to the store and they will reset it. I Was wondering about what you say, how they can give you a unlock code even if they can't verify from distancie that you are the true owner of the phone?

I read in another thread here that Samsung support guys can only reset the phones verifying the true autenticy of the owner. If you wish, i can call samsung support in Panamá today and así if your phone using a firmware from Panamá needs to be sent there. I guess not but I can ask.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
That would be so helpful. Please ask them about it because my Spanish sucks lol. And please report back about the reset experience.

As far as that code, I admit that it does sound fishy like most things Sammy reps say. I thought they would investigate the processing failure instead of exploring the possibility that it wasnt really my phone.

I hope all goes well with resetting yours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0xp:
It really does give me great pleasure to announce that this method worked for me as well. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the rough, official fix for this issue is as follows: (you'll get more detailed instructions on flashing and using Odin elsewhere, typing this quickly at work)

1) Download XXUDNA9 4.4.2 firmware for the SM-N900

2) Download Odin 3.07 (it is reported that the note 3 doesn't play well with 3.09)

3) connect your phone to your pc, open Odin and select your md5 file under PDA

4) allow it to complete the flashing process and then log into your Samsung account

Thanks to everyone who helped in trying to figure this out. I'm gonna check back and make sure everyone's phone was fixed.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
Well, finally I can join and tell that my phone is back and running as before. Thank you guys, this method is the real fix for this issue and as always, I can find better support here than the official one.

7 days without the phone was horrible, because I had to use a laggy, crashed screen iPhone 4 with those little keyboards. God, no. I repeat Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben_albertoo:
I had the same problem, but after doing the procedure described before is working as well, I must say thank you to give us a solution, everything is working as before with my phone. thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
I know this is off topic, but do you guys know of a real backup without root? After I reinstalled kitkat and restored the backup, I was not impressed; Kies is a joke
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JosHeron:
I never do a "real" backup, I just backup my photos on OneDrive, Dropbox and Google+. My sms and whatsapp chats always get lost and the others like Telegram have sync. But do you ever tried Helium?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
Helium looks like it could work. I lost my subway surfer progress after I fixed the phone. With kies, it only saved text messages, photos and music, and some other useless settings. I think I may have backed up incorrectly with kies. When I selected apps, I don't think all of them were actually selected.

Anyhow, I'm definitely going to try helium. Some people in the comments said that it backed up the kind of data that I'm interested in.

Thanks.

have you any solutions to switch off reactivation lock when the phone is blocked?

I am on 4.4.2 rom.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lagoboss:
This thread was about people that know their Samsung account password, but they get a processing error when they try to setup the phone after a reset.

If you know the password, the remedy would be to reflash the version of kitkat for your phone using odin, connect to the Internet, and then enter the correct Samsung account details. After that, you can go into settings, security, and then turn the activation lock off.

If you do not know the password, you have at least 4 options.

1) Change your Samsung account password.

2) Attempt to get the password from the original owner.

3) Send your device to Samsung with proof of purchase.

4) Find some exploit; this is probably really difficult considering the reactivation lock is an anti theft measure.

Edit: in this thread, they are discussing the steps it would take to bypass reactivation lock, but I'm sure it would void your warranty and possibly brick (break) your phone if you don't understand how to do it. I know I'd break mine doing it LOL

Note 3 SM-N900 Acore process stopped working

Guys this worked for me like a charm, however when I finally re-flashed my phone I received the following message: "android.process.acore has stopped working..."

DO NOT panic! Just turn it off again, follow the procedure to reset it again:

1. Turn OFF

2. Press and hold VOLUME UP+HOME button and press the POWER button, once the screen shows the Samsung logo let go the POWER button but keep holding the other two buttons.

3. Once the small android appears on the screen you can let go the VOLUME UP and HOME buttons.

4. Select the option to wipe, factory data reset and select YES

5. Select the option to clear the data cache

6. Restart and you should be good to go and start setting up your phone again.

I hope you find this useful.

Hi all,

How often do you backup your Nandroid? Frequent? Before and/or after every major change (assuming stability)? Only once (with the stock ROM/kernel/efs/etc, before any major change)?

I've just received my Nexus. I plan on backing up the nandroid frequently but most likely not the efs - I do not plan on messing with the modem. Probably will stay on stock ROM and Franco so not many changes on that end.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
I only nandroid when I'm doing something that could potentially result in a bootloop. (ie: flashing ROM updates, kernels, mods, playing with system stuff, xposed, etc.). I never really make them randomly or on a set schedule.

And when I make nandroids I usually only include /system, /data and /boot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1.8matt:
What Chromium said. I myself only make a nandroid of my stock rom and EFS partition right after I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the system and moved them to my Dropbox. Even if I'm going to make drastic changes that could result in a bootloop, I don't really find the need to make a backup since it doesn't take long to set a rom up for me from scratch. But, better safe than sorry, if you feel more comfortable, make a nandroid as often as you like. Keep in mind, unless you use compression like on TWRP, most backups take about 1gb of storage (give or take depending on what you're backing up), so your going to be better off keeping the most recent one on your phone, and transfer any others to a computer unless you don't need them anymore. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your Nexus :)
