I'm a GT-19082 user as well, but my Stock ROM does not contain any bootanimation.zip in System>media

Instead these are the files I get. (pic attached below)

could you please help me out in this?

Thanks. :)

Hello Saudkhan75..!!

Stock ROM doesn't have bootanimation.zip. in Samsung stock ROM it will in .qmg format like bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg these both file will work has bootanimation.zip...:):D

Hello!!

(I'm new to modding, so please don't mind if I say something wrong.)

I already got the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files in my Stock ROM.

My question is how will I convert them to part0 and part1 to edit?

also, is it important to for those files to be in .zip to run?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jackeagle:
Actually There is no way to convert the .qmg or open the .qmg file to get part0 and part1 folders...even the software which makes the .qmg files can't open it:D:D Its kind of closed -source algorithm...;):D

2) YES they are very important these folders contains the images which later combine to form an animation without those folder and command the zip is useless...READ the guide carefully if you wanna know more about these folders...:D :D

Always Feel FREE to ask any doubts you have...:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] saudkhan75:
Thanks fpr the reply. :)

In your bootanimation.zip file I could see 2 folders and a txt document.

I got those .qmg files with me, now, how can I make a bootanimation.zip of them like you did? :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jackeagle:
You need to do it on your own either u have to make animation images...Just search in google for animation tutorial videos using photoshop or u need a video using which you can get the frames from it so that u can get the images directly and use it in project...:D Read my guide carefully.:cowboy:

Dear Rudegar,

Thanks for your reply. I knew your suggestion, but that's not what im looking for. There must be a patch that i can use for select MP3 files as ring directly without conversion, if XDA II mini can use MP3 files as ringtone by selection, then someone out there must have known how to patch it. Please help !!!

Thank you.

I just rooted my phone. I can't make changes to my phone because it will randonly reboot. Especially when I use TitNium backup to convert a user app to a system app. Can anyone tell me why this is happening please and how to fix this.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 03orlandor6:
If you have unlocked the bootloader, and are S-Off you still need to load either a ROM with a modified kernel so you can write to the directory or just load the modified kernal. If you dont everytime you reboot the default apps will reappear.

You can try VIPER or you can just load a different kernel like Badseed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sleepycloud:
Yeah, I'm s-off. I used Firewater for that. Okay, thank you for that info. I completely understand. I'll do that later today. Do you have a preference of one over the other?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
Or you can stay stock and add the wp_mod.ko mod to your phone. It's in the original development section in the international m8 thread. That's what I use. So far I've noticed a modified kernel on this phone has been making Bluetooth skip randomly in my car, but an all stock kernel doesn't.

I have mac at home and just wondering how easy and more importantly does the Sony Mac bridge actually work to transfer files when connected.

I have just bought this tab but haven't had a chance to play with it. I mainly use tabs for watching movies when travelling and didn't want the iPad as the aspect is all wrong on iPads for watching movies.

Can you also transfer files from the micro USB card directly onto the device or does it all have to be transferred by the mac bridge? Basic questions but I don't use a PC and hoping Sonys mac bridge will work just fine. Anyone use a mac also and can confirm?

mass storage

connect device in mass storage , not in mtp mode
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Is the file size larger 4GB ? Either you sdcard is formatted with Fat32 filesystem with a maximum file size of 4GB per file OR the format is not compatible with MTP. Have you tried connecting the micro sd card to your computer via adapter or cardreader?
[General Questions and Answers] vinaygarg:
This time Yes.. But the error came out even on smaller files exceeding approx.100 MB..

It appears every 2 seconds during the copying process..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You'll have to connect it in another way. Either mount as mass storage instead of MTP OR use a card reader for the micro sd card OR convert the video files to a compatible format.
[General Questions and Answers] vinaygarg:
There is no 'Mass Storage mode'.. But converting video files looks like appealing.. Let me try out that..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
O stock rom there is no "mass storage" mode. BUT why don't you connect the micro sd card directly to your computer??
[General Questions and Answers] vinaygarg:
Who does that??

I mean first

1. Open your Phone Cover. (Reduce Life of Cover)

2. Eject SD Card (Increased Risk of Damaging Card)

3. Put it in Card Reader

4. Copy Files with USB 2.0 (No benefit of USB 3.0 support)

5. Put it Back into Phone

6. Close Phone Cover.

and The whole process is time consuming and annoying to me..

Moreover, What you expect from a USD 750 Phone??
[General Questions and Answers] vinaygarg:
Ok i have checked whether it transfers data files other than video files..But no success:crying:. means there in no format related issue at all..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:

Yes, as i said connect the micro sd card manually instead of using the phone for it.

Its not a fix..its an alternative..

But it's much faster, too. MTP provides lower copying speeds.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Okay, it's a stand alone mod that flashes S5 apps over your current S4 settings and apps. What recovery do you use? Did you wipe dalvik/cache? I'm assuming you didn't make a backup before attempting this? Of course not, well you could always flash a custom ROM over this to fix or flash a stock ROM. If you want the S5 settings(you obviously do since you attempted this) I suggest trying out Insane KitKat in the Android development section of the T-Mobile s4. The dev has given you a choice to flash his ROM with s5 settings and even some apps including the browser, download booster, the calculator, etc. Let me know what you end up doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
So I just flashed the zip, wiped cache and still got a force close. I do not want to flash a rom because I have 3 gigabytes of space left, and soon I plan to do the jump program and get the htc m8. Is there any other tips you can possibly give. Thanks so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
You're device is rooted, you've already tripped your flash counter. This would be void through JUMP unless you go back to complete stock using one of the tutorials here on XDA. I'm glad you mentioned that because I am a employee for T-Mobile. When you bring in the device, we'd do a software check. It checks the build, baseband, kernel, and flash counter. So what you really need to do at this point is return to full stock

So is anyone using their phone without a protector and do you have any scratches yet? I remember using the original galaxy S for an year without one and I sold it with basically perfect screen (maybe some micro scratches). So how about the G2, do you thing it wiol scratch easily if kept in pockets?
[G2 Accessories] revan17:
I couldn't find a protector which fits properly so I'm running naked. No scratches here in almost 6 months. But I'm rather careful with all my phones. Phone always goes in an empty pocket.

after my Gnex got scratches from my keys (and I tried my hardest not to keep them in the same pocket) I got one for my G2. The Zagg hd is good if you have a case since the parts not covered are covered by the case

I removed the protector as it wasn't applied properly. I'm going to put a protector again, but it really feels much smoother without one. The funny thing is my Canon digital cameras both have 3" glass screens and no protectors and yet no scratches.
[G2 Accessories] Tikiflame:
Carried a note 2 without screen protector in an OtterBox for a year, 1 small scratch in top right corner.

(had something else in pocket with phone - this is a no no.)

Carrying G2 for 2 months no case or screen protection, but I do recommend a case without screen protector.

the choice is yours, its a piece of expensive candy.

[G2 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
While most metals such as car keys are softer than Gorilla Glass 2 (6+ hardness) which is on the LG G2, quartz (hardness of 7), which is typically found in sand and rock, will definitely scratch it. Rock has been shown in controlled testing to easily scratch even Gorilla Glass 3. These are facts and are not in dispute. Net of it is that if you get a little bit of sand in your dedicated pocket and it rubs against your screen or on your finger that is used to swipe the screen, you will get a scratch.

Given that I can't tolerate scratches, even little ones, I normally swap out plastic screen protectors after a couple of months of use. Today, I use the iLoome Flex Glass which is rated at 8H. It is, by far, the best screen protector I've ever used. It is completely unnoticeable, and supposedly not susceptible to scratches from common materials.

#2	Gypsum

#3	Calcite

#4	Fluorite

#5	Apatite

#8	Topaz / iLoome Flex Glass

#10	Diamond
[G2 Accessories] tursoke:
8H does not stand for 8 on Mohs scale, but rather is a reference to the graphite pencil test, meaning it resists scratching from H8 graphite pencil, which basically means it is a BS value that usually misleads the consumer, and it is no harder than any window glass out there, or rather it is actually softer, because most normal glass is at least 9H(and that's still ways off of anything the hardness needs to be to resist sand).

8 on Mohs scale would require some super special glass, of which I am not even sure they make(sapphire glass is Mohs 9, would love to have a screen protector made out of that) and that the iLoome is not, unfortunately.

The main and almost only real scratch danger for glass screens is common sand(no matter if it's gorilla or not, Gorilla glass doesn't protect you from scratches any better against sand than any ordinary piece of glass), so if you frequent areas that you might pick even a single grain of sand from, ALWAYS clean your pockets well before putting the phone back in there if you want to be absolutely sure of not scratching the screen, and check your palms for any grains that you might put in there on the same go, because you WILL have sand on there even if you think you haven't touched any, I have sad experiences of this from multiple accounts.

If one just frequents urban city areas with no real access to sand, one rarely gets any sand in one's pocket, thus having a very low probability of ever scratching their screen; so it is not really about luck, it is what kind of areas one frequents, and how tidy one manages to keep their pockets :)
[G2 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
Thank you for the clarification. In fact, I just had an email conversation with iLoome where they all but admitted that this is an H8 graphite pencil test, which is pretty much useless as you pointed out. That said, it is holding up better than plastic protectors I've used in the past. Not worth the price tag IMHO since it won't protect against grit, and there is no lifetime replacement warranty.

"Thank you for your email. KEEP YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM THE BEACH! I actually use ziplock bags personally at the beach for extra protection."

Regards,
[G2 Accessories] tursoke:
Aye, they are tons better than plastic protectors. Only plastic protector I have yet to scratch without intentionally doing it, is the Invisishield from ZAGG, but I really dislike the grippy feel it has, making sliding the finger on the screen surface jumpy. Even the HD GLASS LIKE version they sell is no where near glass in feel or look.

This is the reason I prefer a tempered glass, or no protector at all, on my screen(s). I usually just go with no protector, as I am still waiting for the era of affordable sapphire glass protectors :)

And I truly hope manufacturers will ditch the Gorilla Glass in favour of sapphire(GG has said that it has no plans of switching to sapphire, and they have said that "sapphire can be dangerous because it shatters in large sharp pieces and can cut you" as their only real defence against it. And who knows, maybe they will develop a coating that is actually so hard that it can fend of sand). Only real selling point with Gorilla is the good shattering resistance, but I'd rather ditch that over the practical unscratchability of sapphire. And of course, Gorilla is still somewhat cheaper than sapphire, but I would surmise it is mostly because there is not a large enough demand for sapphire.
[G2 Accessories] unrated87:
i'm using from the first day a screen protector and case. protected me several times :)
[G2 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
Yes, sapphire would be great. In the meantime, best option is tempered glass assuming you can find one that properly fits the LG G2's screen. Have you found one that curves properly without lifting at the edges? Didn't think such a glass existed, so I went with the iLoome Flex as an alternative not quite as good option.

[G2 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Correct me if Im wrong but another disadvantage of Sapphire glass compared to Gorilla is transparency, apparently it requires greater brightness, meaning more battery drain.
[G2 Accessories] tursoke:
Aye, Gorilla blocks less light, but the difference should be negligible.
[G2 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
From an article: http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/i...ass-which-will-apple-use-in-iphone-6-3505553/

Sapphire Glass costs roughly 10 times more than Gorilla Glass. (Machine tooling is much more expensive and production about 4,000 times longer than Gorilla Glass at a much higher temperature)

Sapphire Glass is roughly 1.6 times heavier than Gorilla Glass.

The manufacturing process is not environmentally friendly because it takes about 100 times more energy to generate Sapphire than Gorilla Glass.

It transmits less light. This means either the screen will be dimmer, or it will have to use more power.

While scratch resistant, Sapphire breaks under less pressure than Gorilla Glass (according to a Corning test, therefore this is questionable).
[G2 Accessories] axlastro:
Well, when it comes to watches, you know what they use... They are however much smaller and usually weight is not an issue. I suspect rumors about Apple ditching GG for sapphire are unlikely, but if they do, they will need to up the manufacturing cost. The same goes for android phones. I personally think, that in the not so distant future we might see more polymer based screens.
