Hopefully its not too much trouble.. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
well, a quick search shows that there are edits needed to the settings.db, and since that would be different for nearly every user it would require pulling the settings.db file from the device automating the edits and then pushing it back all while hoping nothing got borked in the process. It could be done but would be much easier if we had an unlocked bootloader that way i could just have the code do an adb remount instead of having to issue an "su -c" prefix for every single command then i could do the edits on the fly and not even have to pull the db. half the code in the current version could be whacked if i could use adb remount.

I'll see if there are any less painful ways to automate but might take a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
Someone posted a thread on how to do it. I've been trying to reach them but no luck. They provide a couple of links but they're not working :( I'm not sure if they are assuming an unlocked bootloader or not though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
yep thats the db edits for the quick tiles and then the downloads are the sammy car mode apk its the db edits that would be tricky
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
I've actually gotten the quick tile edit.. so I'm guessing I would just need the apk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] carlospr21:
thank you bro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
yes just the apk if the edits are done
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
Now to find out what that would be LOL... I downloaded a T-Mobile and a Sprint ROM, but I can't seem to find a suitably named apk... unless I'm missing something?

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Okay, so I took the S-Voice apk from a Sprint ROM and installed it... if you say "start car mode" or "start driving mode" it comes back with "this device does not support this feature"...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slackwaresupport:
nm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
likely because the carmode apk is missing, i havent had time to look for it tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
Yeah they have it hidden pretty well it would seem..there are driving mode settings in the XML files of the svoice apk.. But they're present in the 900a version too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
I also found this thread in which somehow, the OP was able to toggle car mode through a Tasker task... he's not very specific on the steps though...

I confused on what files are needed for the custom boot animation. I put the .zip file in the media folder but it flashed the google animation. Can someone let me know exactly what files are needed? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slackwaresupport:
is there a mac version? dont use windows.. i can maybe throw up a vm.. will it work through it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BIGG13:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can still hear the stupid ATT boot sound and most of the bloat is still on my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
Yes the attached sound is still there, I have no idea why you would still have Bloatware? Did you try running the script again after update? The op updated the post with an update..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] viperbe:
I am having the same issue. I put the bootanimation.zip in the sdcard/media as readme states and patched the tool with the patch but still google boot animation... What do i need to do to change the boot animation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
If you extract the boot animation it is the google logo from the toolkit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
place your bootanimation.zip in the media folder in the Kooklit application directory, run the app then choose custom bootanimation. if your device asks for root permission through SuperSU then grant it. that's a;; it should take. let me check my code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
no mac version, I dont own a mac. might work through a vm as long as you canget it to recognize your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slackwaresupport:
roger that..

anyone know if it will work in a vm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
do you have SuperSU installed? if you see a prompt on your device asking to grant su to shell accept it, you can watch the process on the device as it will display each step in an su window, and of course you need to be rooted, also make sure you have .net 4.5 installed on your pc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
i replaced the bootanimation but didnt touch the audio, let me look into adding the ability to disable it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
ok, ill add this to the custom bootanimation code for now go to /system/media/audio/ui and rename PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.ogg.bak or just delete it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] viperbe:
That works! Thanks maybe reword the readme to state put bootanimation in media folder of Koolkit application? It just states put bootanimation in media application folder..

This could be system/media or sdcard/media or even percieved as media/application :) im just telling you what i thought. Let me know if you want help with documentation. i can help review...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Haa, Nice catch didn't realize i forgot to specify:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BIGG13:
Thanks, guess I misunderstood and thought I was the only lose that had to hear that annoying AT&T boot audio

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Sure did, but I can always try again. No harm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
make sure your device is not connected through any type of USB hub, best to connect directly to your PC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BIGG13:
Yes I do have SuperSU, I am rooted but I'm not too sure which .net I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
actually your good, im adding the code to diable the sound, for now go to /system/media/audio/ui and rename PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.ogg.bak or just delete it.

[MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION]

do you know how to edit qmg files? the original boot animation on our gs5's are in qmg format. what i would like to do is change the bootanimation so that it only does the samsung one and the bright white at&t one doesnt pop on. i have found that the samsung and at&t one are all one boot animation. so i'd have to edit the qmg file and take out the at&t pics. still trying to find out how to edit a qmg. the bootsamsungloop.qmg file is the at&t logo only file. i've moved those loop.qmg files out of the media folder but the bootsamsung.qmg STILL plays the at&t animation for some reason. the at&t animation has to be a part of the bootsamsung.qmg.

the bootsamsungmini.qmg is the samsung only animation but the pics are not right. the samsung logo is not stretched out enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
there are methods out there on XDA for creating qmg's I never have had luck with them, and the qmg format is somewhat restrictive that's why i chose to enable the standard bootanimation.zip procedures that way you have far more control over what bootani you have. just do a google search for android custom bootanimations find one you like and place it in the koolkit_v1.0.0/media folder then enable bootanimations and your set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jm2k7:
here have a bootanimation, from another thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/galaxy-s5-boot-shutdown-animation-t2694225

works well in our galaxy s5 at&t

is replaced with es explorer in root mode

I have just replaced the files and place permissions rw- r-- r--

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

bootsamsungmini.qmg

bootsamsungminiloop.qmg

restart and go. :good:

no work on win 8 64 through vm.. the phone shows up in device manager fine. using the usb3 cable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JoeFCaputo113:
Can I use this on my SPRINT Galaxy S5?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
You'll need to edit the /bloat/nobloat.txt for sprint applications etc, also not sure if sprint variant has all of the knox installed or not so might want to check that but everything else should work just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] moonmanxo:
My phone can't connect to it :(, help anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
do you have usb debugging enabled? if not go to settings about and click on "build number" several times to enable developer options then go in to settings--developer options and turn on usb debugging. then connect your device.

make sure you have the usb drivers for your device installed.

answer the prompt on our phone asking to allow access.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JoeFCaputo113:
How would I do that? Thanks man! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
after you extract the zip to where ever you want on your PC browse to the bloat folder and edit the nobloat.txt with any text editor follow the patterns of how the apps are named and remember everything is case sensitive,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JoeFCaputo113:
Well the ROM I run is mostly debloated... so what else would work? De-knoxing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:

you probably need to comment out some apks the list that is in there is pretty comprehensive and it is possible you may need one of the files it deletes.

P.S. if you are running on RC1 then it probably deleted a specific file from the knox removal, make sure you are on RC2

Is your phone rooted if no u want to root your device. For rooting device just download framaroot apk and install it and open the framaroot in app drawer and click to boromair for root and then reboot your phone. After successfully rebooted do your steps for installing recovery in your phone....

HIT THANK BUTTON IF IT HELPED YOU...:good:
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] prasad.asr1978@gmail.com:
It is definitely problem with rooting, use latest version of "Framaroot" (like 1.9.2 or 1.9.3) to root your devise. then use CWM or TWRP. You will be succeed. You can also use "Flash Recovery.apk" available in Play store instead of mobile uncle tools, try it.
