I had a small breakthrough last night that may explain some of the issues I've had testing shutdown animations. As I made adjustments to the quality (fps) and attempted to add sound, I somewhere along the way made my first working animation quit working. I've had it "installed" for a couple of weeks now, but it would not play. All I was getting was a "shutting down..." popup message.

I've been meaning to compare it to the stock file on a bigger screen and finally got around to it. Using Notepad++, the only difference, other than my edits, was that the document was encoded as "ANSI as UTF-8" or UTF-8 BOM, versus the stock UTF-8 (without BOM). From Wikipedia, "the Unicode Standard neither requires nor recommends the use of the BOM for UTF-8. The presence of the UTF-8 BOM may cause interoperability problems with existing software that could otherwise handle UTF-8." Some Windows programs, including notepad will add the byte order mark at the beginning of any UTF-8 document, which I assume happened with WinMerge. I've only edited the file with Root Explorer > text editor, Notepad++, and possibly WinMerge.

So, having converted in NP++, Encoding > Encode in UTF-8 without BOM > save, I copied over to phone, rebooted into TWRP, mounted /system/, then replaced /system/customize/CID/default.xml. I'm not exactly sure what is necessary, though I also went into terminal from TWRP, chown to root, chmod to 644, then wiped Dalvik and cache. I've done all of those steps in the past, trying to fix things, so I'm fairly certain the encoding is to blame. The next reboot confirmed it worked, and my shutdown animation is restored.
[One (M8) General] Pacattack:
This was mod I did on a ICS Sense 3.6 rom with no shutdown animation or sound ..

As Down anmiation does not use the desc.txt

The size of the images(animi) had to match the screen res.( this is not the case with Boot anim.. )

The frame rate and any sound has to be added to Default.xml in CID folder.

<ShutdownConfiguration>

<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/shutdown.mp3" useAudio="1" image="" fps="14" />

</ShutdownConfiguration>

Hope this Helps :)
[One (M8) General] dased14:
mine is similar and I have been doing it this way since htc evo

<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio_out.mp3" image="" fps="10" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>

and

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>

and have never had a problem with sound on boot or shut down sound
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
Thanks so much for the info! I knew the desc.txt wasn't being used, and assumed there was some sort of default.xml edit (if available) but was unable to find that info in my searches. Obviously, this has been around for a while. I was able to find mention of this from over 3 years ago... so easy to find, NOW :laugh:

I must have tried at least 20 different configurations trying to find the hidden switch to enable audio. I know I tried something similar to this, but I definitely did not have "useAudio" with cap in it.

This (shutdown audio) is working for you without the use of useAudio="1"? Yours was the first config edit I tried for my phone (HTC One M8) and did not work. Are you on an older HTC phone?
[One (M8) General] dased14:
Yep has worked flawless on every phone i have used (using a sprint m8,m7 at the moment)

Sent from somewhere
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
I don't know why my verizon phone would be different (other than V likes to troll its customers.) Adding the path to audio, just as with the boot animation was the most obvious solution, but didn't work with the audio file located in the same directory. I also tried other locations, including /data/local/ and /system/media/, with no success.

I had a friend testing for me as well, and this didn't work on his Verizon M7. :mad:

I'll try again, without "useAudio=1" to be sure, as I was having some formatting issues from editing with Root Explorer > text editor. I figured out SwiftKey was at the root of those issues, due to auto-entry throwing random trash in the file when I tapped inside the txt file to choose where to edit. No telling how many of my blackscreen issues were due to trash characters in the file. I had to use Notepad++ twice to figure out where the unwanted characters had been thrown in there.

Edit: Ah, just saw your edit ;)
[One (M8) General] dased14:
are you only changing that line in the default xml or both it and the vzw one

(because I'm curious to know what is the differences in sprint,vzw,att,tmo)
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
I left the verizon and htc animations alone, and simply placed my own and modified the /system/customize/CID/default.xml.

This is my current, working animation with "useAudio=1"--my words about previous failed attempts were identical, but without the useAudio bit. I've had the animations working and sound working with the boot, but the shutdown audio was my last issue there.

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>

<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio_down.mp3" useAudio="1" image="" fps="12" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>
[One (M8) General] dased14:
how many xmls are in your CID folder?
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
For one, I'm aware that Verizon (ATT also) has a custom boot animation, which is not called by the default.xml. Verizon's is identical to the stock animation, hTC_bootup_one.zip, but adds an infinite loop with animated verizon logo, some flare on it, named vzw_bootup.zip.
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
Just the default.xml, originally, but I have kept the stock, named "default.xml.stock," and most recent edit, "default.xml.bak" made by Root Explorer. So, technically 1 .xml files and 2 other files.
[One (M8) General] dased14:
never mind I see
[One (M8) General] djakrse:
Yeah I never had any other files. I've wondered how the Verizon animation was called.

[One (M8) General] dased14:
is what's in stock rom

[One (M8) General] djakrse:
Interesting. I assume Verizon has another way to call the animation, or perhaps I have similar files in a different location.

[HTC Wildfire S] LS.xD:
which cm10.1? Do you use int2ext script? The gapps are fine, BUT not compatible to the rom. Manual solution is uninstalling all keaybord + dictionary apps and install any other keyboard app manually :) Or use compatible gapps.

[HTC Wildfire S] 4everwfs:
Come on man do your magic!RC2.1 (RC3) and the file in ATTACHMENTS...steps???? :)))))))
[HTC Wildfire S] LS.xD:
I have no clue about it. Most gapps like to crash on marvel with cm10.1 , thats why i used the gapps provided by the dev of the rom. I just flashed RC3 + gapps = works without errors.

You really should perform a FULL WIPE before flashing the new rom if your actual system has errors.
[HTC Wildfire S] 4everwfs:
Sorry for being stupid my friend...i will have to wipe everything and after flash GAPPS to my existing ROM?
[HTC Wildfire S] LS.xD:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] hajime_android:
Hello,

1. There are many cases that has a front cover easily opened (e.g. those iPad-like case and the Samsung book cover, Samsung cover with keyboard, Logitech Pro). My question is when dropped or during drop, don't these covers open automatically and leave the screen/front of the device unprotected?

2. Given the Samsung Keyboard and Logitech PRO keyboard, which one do you choose? Ideally if automatic on/off function is available.

3. How good is the Samsung cover compared with the Samsung cover with keyboard?

4. In general, is it better to buy a case with the keyboard than to buy a separate case and a separate keyboard (choose the best from each world).

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] wingdo:
I cannot answer all of those, but I do prefer using an all in one unit *if* I am going to use a keyboard. The logitech is the best "feeling" keyboard out there, and no it does not have on/off capabilities. The Sammy one however is very thin, but offers no folio, it's also a great keyboard. Zagg vs. Samsung is no comparison, while the idea is the same, the Zagg can't compete with the Samsung at any level.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] hajime_android:
Thanks. Is the logitech one noticeably heavier than the sammy one? Note that sammy made two cases for the PRO 12.2. One with a keyboard and the other without.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] wingdo:
There is no comparison, the Logitech keyboard is considerably larger than the Samsung. It is a folio and the Sammy is not. My biggest complaint with the Sammy is that the tablet doesn't fit in the case glass side up. So when using the tablet with the Samsung case if not using the keyboard, it's just the tablet on its own. With the large size and plastic back, there are a couple spots which "creak" when pressing on them. I am certain it's no big deal, but it does make the tablet feel cheaper than its price.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] *Omnipresent*:
I got the Zagg keyboard cover case today from best buy and have been very pleased with it so far. The BB store reps let me try all 3 cases. The Samsung, Zagg and Logitech case. The Sammy is $30 more than the Zagg and seemed a little flimsy to me. The Logitech seemed a little to bulky compared to the other two cases and $30 more as well. Imo the Zagg was the best compromise for me, in terms of price, thickness, protection and quality.

Edit. The Zagg keyboard allows you to fit the tablet in the case, glass side up or down.

AUGUST UPDATE

*******************************************

Most people are reporting that LiDroid is successful, I can confirm that it works well. I have occasionally encountered errors when installing apps from Play but they are not common or consistent. Note that when installing LiDroid the user may choose English for the language, but beware that the later Customer Service Customization menu selects the data network, thus if you live in China you should choose CHIN and not ENG at this menu. This second menu has no effect on the phones default language.

This is a rom that someone made based off Shohat's ROM, it includes Google Play Store:

I flashed this rom and it seems to work fine, but changed the model number of my phone to 900F, not sure why? Also, let the google play store update services and a few other files and afterwards it seems to work just fine

You don't have to use the Baidu downloader, just press the GREY button BOTH times. =D

As far as how to flash, it's just like any other ROM. FYI, Shohat said he is working on making his version support the 6V so keep an eye out.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
It is still working.

The first dialogue box, with a space to enter text, is for the password, though if you enter it once you won't have to subsequent times you visit the page.

If you're not in China, Baidu loads super slow. If it's too slow to download the 1GB file then you'll just have to wait for Shohat's rom next week. Should be better anyways. =D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elbretzel:
Using this ROM should decrease the differences between the Chinese version and the "western" one, am I right?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
Your question makes me think you might want to read a bit on what ROM is (don't worry, I don't reallly know either, but we can always learn more), but ultimately yes, this ROM contains some of the Google services not included in the China Unicom version.

Please be careful and understand that this a temporary fix, this ROM is a bit buggy. Keep an eye out for other XDA roms that will work for 9006V models. You will certainly want to flash something new later.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Queueyou:
Nice job of putting it all together in one shot. Still haven't quite done it on my phone, but will be doing it soon. Maybe I'll wait for a ROM until the one you mention by Shohat comes along. Really would like if we could get some english developer love too. I know there are things available in chinese, those alone should have like 90% of the work done for those wanting to do a version for english.

Dear Sir, after trying whole day and night I am able to download the the rom which include play store. but it is a Zip file.to flash this zip file I need to install cwm recovery on my SM-G9006V.

how to install cwm recovery on SM-G900V?

please give me the link!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
I used this post:

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html

BUT:

I think that the only thing that really helped me was having the drivers, which I got through the long way, by installing 豌豆荚 on my computer and it automatically installed drivers. Windows couldn't find them. I've seen the drivers on that forum listed above, so if you don't want to install that app (it is kinda annoying, but helps sideload APKs).

One other thing to note:

I also got really thrown off by one part of the above instructions, to enter CWM after you flash it with Odin you need to press Vol+ + Home + Power, not volume down.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Queueyou:
SOLVED

I was NOT pulling the battery immediately after odin popped off the restart. pulled battery and usb and then booted directly into recovery and worked just fine. I am now in the CWM recovery... now if only I spoke chinese....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Queueyou:
Ok.... for english speakers....

Once you are in CWM recovery after yanking the battery last second and loading recovery on the next boot cycle (or you have to do it all again)... You will be presented with options... crazy options... select the first one, then select the second option (it says some english about install-recovery.sh). This will disable the recovery script that keeps writing samsung's recovery over your fresh CWM. Then I chose the 2nd option again after that, thinking it meant something about rooting the phone. Not sure, but the phone rebooted and everything was fine. CWM still intact.

After that, I installed supersu as linked on the chinese website shown previously. you can see english for ZIP and from there see ext.storage or internal, just point to were you downloaded it and click through to install.

I downloaded a copy of gapps for 4.4.2 and did the same thing as I did for supersu and BAM.... now I have google play and it's working.... Finally the phone i was wanting it to be, at least until a fully english rom becomes available.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlfCheesey:
I must be missing something here. I finally downloaded this file from the second link, which is called 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip'.

I ran Odin v.3.09 to flash this ROM (just like any other ROM), and obviously it doesn't recognise this file, as it's a zip file. So I extracted it to a folder. However, all I get is a lot of folders such as 'data', 'META-INF', 'system', 'tmp', 'tools' and two files 'check_data_app' and 'romconfig.xml'.

Odin also doesn't recognise this, as it's looking for .tar or .md5 or .smd or .gz or .tgz file extensions.

I've tried renaming the original zip file to .tar.md5 but this doesn't work either.

Could you please explain further, or even step-by-step exactly how you are supposed to flash this ROM? What software do I actually need to flash it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
ROMs are .zip and installed via Recovery. You can use ODIN to put recovery on your phone. Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM), TWRP are both recoveries.

Once recovery is on your phone you can enter it using the volume+ / power / home keys.

If you're still unclear on this process just look at any of the roms in the dev sections, they all include a short how to for installing a rom from recovery.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlfCheesey:
Thanks ddxv, and sorry for being stupid - all my previous phones I simply flashed from within Windows using ODIN.

So step-by-step guide should be as below?

1. Download Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM)

2. Download ODIN 3.09

3. Download 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' from your second link

4. Copy 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' to a MicroSD card and place into phone.

5. Reboot phone into Download Mode

6. Start ODIN

7. Click on 'AP' (was 'PDA') and find CWM recovery file

8. click Start

9. Once finished, the 'Pass' message will be displayed.

10. Reboot into recovery mode

11. Choose Wipe Data/factory rest

12. Select install zip from SD card

13. Flash phone

14. Reboot
