This mod will allow the use of bootanimation.zip files that we are so fond of. Here are a few notes on the matter.

1) The bootanimation.zip file must be properly formatted for your device and placed in /system/media. If no file is present , It defaults to the generic Samsung/Android boot anim.

2) Any sound modifications need to be achieved by deleting or replacing the corresponding .ogg files

3} the QMG animations remain on the device. They just aren't used.

4) It can be reversed (manually) by deleteing the file bootanimation located in /system/bin/ and renaming bootanimation.orig to bootanimation

5) As far as I can tell This only works on the NE5 Rom Odexed or DeOdexed

And Finally..

This mod is simply just a binary replacement. I didn't do any real work other than the installer script and this post. I *think* I used the bootanimation binary from the SAMTASTIC Rom. I'm not trying to claim any credit for it. This is just a quick mod for people like me that want a clean Stockish phone but can't seem to live without just a few bells and whistles.

Enjoy...

Thats fine if you pulled it out of my samtastic build, hope it helps.

I know most are still trying to figure out the Qi vs PMA thing. I have converted to PMA and I am wondering if this is normal. I place my phone on the powermat overnight and wake up to only 96-99% charged. What I have found is the phone fully charges but then will stop itself from charging and drain. When I had a Qi charger on my other phones they stayed topped off. It seems this is a protection mode but I am wondering if it is necessary. My hope is a custom rom can disable this and we can keep out phones topped off on PMA chargers. Anyone else seeing this as well? Thoughts.
[AT&T LG G3] Enddo:
unrelated and I'm sorry for the off topic. but I am interested in the PMA charger and just don't have any experience with them. how does it compare to Qi. particularly I am interested in heat generation and charge speed. maybe in relation to USB charging as well as Qi charging
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
Well, I have seen it compared to VHS vs Betamax and that is the truth. If you are old enough to remember that battle then you understand. If not, I would say it this way, Qi is VHS and PMA is Betamax. Sony and betamax had a much better product but VHS won because more companies jumped on board. I have used Qi charging on my last few phones. Its easy and works well. Overall though, PMA charges faster with higher voltages and I do not find my phone nearly as warm. It also has magnetic centering to keep the phone in the middle of the coil. There are some quirks, like the one I am asking about in this thread. I never had this problem with Qi. Its more of an inconvenience as in the morning, I have to take my phone off the charger and replace it. It will re-engage and charge to full again. I really think this is a protective measure.
[AT&T LG G3] imstill@g:
This would seem to be a serious issue as well considering this and the lgg2 spend an hour plus at 100%.I really don't want to move to PMA, this may actually be the show stopper thanks for posting
[AT&T LG G3] Skizzy034:
If PMA is better then why are so many against AT&T using it?
[AT&T LG G3] droidiac13:
I don't give a hoot which is better or not. The effing problem is that there isn't crap for options when it comes to PMA. If my only choice is that flip case, then I go without wireless charging. It was ridiculous of AT&T to go in this direction when NO ONE else supports it. LG didn't even bother to make a charging back for it. That's what bothers me the most. If i had to buy a new PMA charger fine, but give me something to put on my phone.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
Stinks you can't just buy a replacement back, but you can remove the charging circuit from the circle case and install it in your original back. It's a tight fit, but that's what I did. Also, it stays topped off at 100%.
[AT&T LG G3] midrake:
No problems with losing charge here. In the morning it's full 100%. Took a few times to find the sweet spot on the powermat but I am happy. First time using wireless charging btw.
[AT&T LG G3] droidiac13:
Let's see that how to video! Just kidding. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go that route, but I guess I will. Can you throw up some pictures of how it looks? I'd like to see how you laid the coils in there.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
It's a tight fit due to the metal disc located in the center. The circle case has an indentation for it where the stock cover doesn't. Had to reposition the bottom part one time so the cover would snap on.

Just took my time. Heated with a hair dryer. Peel a little. Reheat and peel a little more. Rinse and repeat until I had it all the way off. The glue is pretty stubborn.
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
What king of chargers are you guys using. I have those Duracell Powermat with the iPhone 4 cases AT&T was closing out at $10. Maybe that's my problem. I'm using the same case so it just about has to be that. I'll buy a different one if needed but mine definitely stops charging at 100% and then drains. Another weird behavior is before I had the PMA and used a USB, the phone would alarm over and over when it got to 100% telling me to disconnect the charger. Anyone else see this? I thought this was weird too but I was using a 2.1 wall usb charger and not the stock one supplied in the box. It doesn't do this in my car though.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
I'm using the Duracell Powermat in the pic below.
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
Ok that's the same one I am using accept it had an iPhone case. Mine definitely quits charging when it hits 100%. Are you sure yours doesn't cut off as well? Even when I am charging the portable battery, the mat will quit charging when it is full. The little light on the bottom of the mat turns off as well showing it is no longer charging. I have 2 of these mats and they both act the same way.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
It's always 100% when I pick it up.
[AT&T LG G3] cbb77:
Ok, so was kind of perturbed that AT&T went this route as already have a few Qi chargers that I invested in. Am thinking of still moving forward with the upgrade as it appears the PMA chargers are cheap at the moment. For those that are using the PMA charging, how's the charging rate / how longer does it take to fully charge? Also hows the heat when charging? This is one issue I do have with my Qi chargers in that if I do not place my S4 in the "sweet spot" the phone gets excessively warm.

Also question to americasteam, how's the bulge on the back of the phone now that you have transplanted the PMA coil. Can you still fit the phone into a standard case or is it too big now? If possible would be great if you could post a picture of the side showing the increase in size. I mention this as I went thru this with my S4 and and had to search for a "thin" Qi adapter that would still allow use of case. Most caused to large a bulge and prevented certain cases from fitting. Since there is presently only one PMA Coil available, like to know how well the transplant worked (size wise).

Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
The case looks like it might be slightly raised where it meets the volume rocker on the volume down side. I have no idea if it was originally like this or if it's caused by the charging coil. Also, I don't use a case so have no idea what effect it would have.
[AT&T LG G3] Skizzy034:
Man, that white looks nice. Looks more premium than the grey that I got =/.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
I had grey at first and exchanged it. Didn't like the black and white face in vids and pics, but love it in person. IMO, the white back also has a nicer texture. Especially with the PMA charging coil installed. ?
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
I agree the white looks better. I tried to take my grey one back to Best Buy but the dont have the white in stock. WHAT IT DO SKIZZY.lol Nice to see a familiar face from the Note 3 side.:D
[AT&T LG G3] droidiac13:
Skizz is in all the forums!! LOL He changes phones as often as I do.
[AT&T LG G3] Skizzy034:
Lmao!

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

I really like the white but if I exchanged my grey one for it then I would probably wish I still had the black lol.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
Not really sure what you're asking here. Are you wanting to know if it'll charge with a case on it?
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
Yeah, I'm considering doing what you did and buying a PMA folio circle case and transferring the sticker to my stock back. But I like to run a case on my phone
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
I'll see what I can find tonight.
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
Only thing could find is a game case. Opened up Mario Kart 8 case and placed the solid plastic piece (it's not all solid) over the charging area on the powermat. Had no issues getting the phone to charge. As always, YMMV.
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
I get my circle case tomorrow. Can you please tell me exactly what I need to put the coil on my regular phone back plate. Do I need to take the regular two coils off the original back plate? Do I need extra glue? I'm New to this experiment.lol

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Went ahead and took a hour drive to a best buy and traded the grey one for the white one. Lovin it!!!lol
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
I gutted my Circle Case as well. It was very easy but you do have to be careful. First of all, use a hair dryer and heat the inside and the outside of the case up. I heated mine up really really hot. It was almost too hot to touch. Needless to say, be careful but I don't think you can really do any damage with a hair dryer. I started from the bottom. This gives you full leverage. What you will find is there is a layer of metal sheilding. This is the black top coating. You can peel than away a decent amount and you will see the coil. The NFC coil is surrounding the PMA coil but they are on the same layer. I took a small swiss army knife and lifted the coil layer. Mine was heated enough the first time, I never had to heat it again. It peeled away easily. When you get to the top edges be very careful. The left side has nothing under it and should peel away easily but it will tear the easiest. The right side has your pins so give that special attention. Overall it is very easy to peel out with a decent amount of heat.

With mine, the magnet disc stayed stuck to the coild. I peeled it away and put it on my grinder being very careful not to grind away too much. I thinned it out enough and stuck it back on. Once in the back, it still makes for a tight fit. It actually helped me though because my back had started creaking a bit. The extra snugness stopped that. It will take a bit more effort to snap it on but you cannot see any bulges or deformation. I read where one member took the metal shielding off of his and this helped with the thickness. I prefer to leave mine on just in case.

As for charging, I do notice the charger picks up my phone easier than with the Circle case. It also charges faster and kept it at 100% charge all last night which is the reason I even started this thread. I think the thickness of that Circle case does make a difference. I ordered a Spigen Slim Armor so I will be interested to see if it hinders charging at all.
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
Thank you for your help. Question..

So what about the two prawns on the back of the original back do I take those off or do I put the four charging prawns on top if it?
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
Been out all night. Thanks for the explanation. This is what makes XDA a great place!
[AT&T LG G3] plastik46:
Just a heads up to the people replacing the inside sticker with a wireless charging one.... I did this with my first g3 and after a day or 2 I noticed that the screen was bulging out in the center and coming off the frame in the center a Couple of centimeters... Luckily I got it replaced. I noticed the screen is right against the battery. Most phones there frame is in between them so this normally wouldn't happen
[AT&T LG G3] americasteam:
You take the entire circuit out and replace it with the one from the circle case. The 2 connections are for nfc.
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
In your opinion how would you stop that from happening?
[AT&T LG G3] plastik46:
i am thinking about getting a blank cover from ebay or amazon and cut a square hole in the cover the size of the whole coil (not were the ribbon cable extends up to the pins) just the thick coil part. then get thin adhesive vinyl to cover the back and inside.

i always have my phone in a case so it wouldn't really matter about the back..... also with my first mod and a spegien hybrid case it would not charge due to the thickness but it would in a thin case it would so i think removing the plastic would help there too.

[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
I am seeing the same issue. See my post from the other thread.

Just as an FYI, I just received my Spigen Slim Armor. I love the case but it will not allow PMA wireless charging. I have the coil in my OEM backplate and it charges fine without the case, fine with just the TPU portion of the case but when adding the hardcover layer, it will not charge. If you are doing this mod, it looks like we will need to stick with TPU cases and nothing with a thicker cover. I also tested my Spigen slim snap on case just like the one above and it will charge but its very finicky on placement. I have noticed that the charger does not activate unless it has the magnetic pull. This makes me wonder if a Qi coil would work for PMA if you used the magnetic disc to activate it. I am pretty happy with my setup now but maybe someone out there will want to try this.

I really think this magnetic disc may be a key to getting our phones to work with a Qi coil. I am not suggesting our phones will work with a Qi charger but just use the Qi coil to charge via PMA if you have a magnetic disc to activate it. By testing the 2 cases above, The Slim Armor will not work and I cannot feel any magnetic pull when placing it down on the pad. When I take off the hardcover, I can feel the magnet and it works. The Spigen Slim case is a hardcover as well and it reduces the magnetic pull a bunch. If I slide it off the center even slightly the charging pad will immediately quit charging. This tells me that the magnet is the key. Now I wish I had not sent the Qi charging back to the eBay seller and could try this with a magnet.
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
How hard would it be to cut the folding portion off the circle case and using just the back portion? I wonder if it would fit inside a Spigen slim case.
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
Did you do the mod with the shielding layer left on top of the coil? Your post got me worried and so I removed my shielding layer. The gray plastic coating is still covering my coils. When I removed the shielding layer, the back fits perfectly now and there is no extra pressure applied. This alleviates any screen separation issues but I am not sure if there will be heating issues while charging. I have never noticed my phone hot at all while charging though. With Qi I remember phones getting warm but that was usually because they were not centered on the coil. With the magnet on PMA, I think that is not an issue.

Update: When taking out the shielding layer, my phone will not charge. I put it back in and all is fine.
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
I was just about to post that.lol I was looking at my phone like " I just did all this work and you wont charge"!!! I was going off in the office everyone one thought I was crazy.lol then I put the shied on and heard those wonderful beeps of the wireless charger. I warmed up the back of my battery cover pretty good I was hoping that the metal indents itself into the back cover so I wouldn't have the screen issue you was talking about. I'll see how it goes in a couple of days. ALSO the Spigen Hybrid case wont let me charge the phone wirelessly but the little thin TPU CASE I got from Best Buy will.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Tried it today. It's to thick to fit the Spigen Hybrid case.
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
Well, I may be way too anal about this but I think I finally found a good solution. It reduces the thickness of the coils and it still charges. I pulled the shield out again and to a x-acto knife and cut the area out around the disc. The disc leaves an impression in the shield so you have a template. Then just stick the shield back on to the coil and all is good. As I stated earlier, without the shield, the fit is no different than when you have the NFC only coil in there. The small metal disc adds a touch of thickness and so does the shield. Together I think it does put too much pressure on the screen. Although mine is not separating, I could see a difference with the cover on or off looking at the profile and edges of the screen. With the cutout, the cover may be very slightly tighter but its really hard to tell. It snaps on just like normal whereas with the shield not cutout, its harder to snap. Again, I may be way too anal but I would prefer not to have to go back to AT&T and do a swap.
[AT&T LG G3] memtenn:
Just did it. Ima see how it goes over the weekend. Thanks..

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

For some reason it won't charge with my slim TPU case like it did earlier before cutting the hole for the magnet. Strange...
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
Mine charges fine with my Spigen Slim hard case.
[AT&T LG G3] Buddy1065:
I wonder if anyone has considered sanding out the inside of the back cover to provide closer connection for wireless charging. In most instances there is a degree of allowed tolerance for thinning surfaces without critically weakening the item, whatever it is.
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
Has anyone tried using a super thin neodymium magnet? It will definitely have the pull. These are 1/64 of an inch http://designer.realtimedesigner.com/magnetking/catalog/index.php&p=cGM9MTI5NiZwYzI9JnByPTQ0ODQz

I have that same charger that i got for $10 dollars and it always stays at 100% you might want to try and exhange the charger cause the backup battery does stop charging but my phone does not
[AT&T LG G3] awtryau89:
I have finally moved away from wireless charging for now. The described behavior is still intermittent with me and I am on my second AT&T G3 and 3rd PMA charger. Also on my second unit when placing the coil in the originally back I noticed it causing my screen to bulge from the extra pressure. Finally you cannot use any case with any thickness to it since it will not charge. Its just not worth it for me. I grabbed a couple of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D8OI5MU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One for my bedside and one for my desk. They work great with the G3 and if you disassemble them and modify the area around the usb, it will work with any case. I did see a very neat mod with the Quick Circle and a bumper case on the main forums. My problem is I have moverd to a white phone and prefer that look over the black now. I couldn't do that. My final option may be the Slim Guard case and add the coil to it. I will wait to those get more availability and possibly go that route.
[AT&T LG G3] bolillo:
Hopefully in the future there will be an actual casa without the quickview cause my brother wants to try out the wireless charging but he doesn't want the flap to cover the screen and for 59.99 for the cover its a bit expensive to just go and tinker with it
[AT&T LG G3] eelton:
I did. See this post.
[AT&T LG G3] jdsemler:
I got brave this evening and transplanted the sticker from my circle case to my back cover. It took 3 tries to get the pins in the right spot. It seems you have to go a bit higher than the emboss leads you to believe. I transplanted everything, including the magnet.

Charging works about as well as it did with the circle case. I didn't notice any trouble lining it up or with bulge on either side. I also tested NFC and was able to beam a web page from a Nexus 10 to the LG G3 like normal.

I attached a thin case that I got from eBay. It is able to wireless charge through that.

I put the old NFC sticker into the circle case for now. It probably will work fine as a circle case without Powermat charging, but I did not bother to test it before putting it into the original box and putting that into a drawer.
[AT&T LG G3] jdsemler:
Just an update. The phone will charge off the single and the double Duracell Powermat charge plate, but only the double charger will charge it with that thin case on it. The single charger simply will not charge until I take off the clear snap-on case.
[AT&T LG G3] adsbar:
PMA charging fails

Just reporting my experience. I have found a few other reports of early failure of PMA charging on AT&T LG G3. These are being reported in the generic LG G3 forum. I have asked the moderator to move the thread over here, as all the issues are with the AT&T LG G3 variant, and not the others.

Got my Quick Circle charging case online from AT&T about a week after I got the phone. Did well for at least 4-5 days, then stopped charging on my dual Duracell Powermat. The included PMA batteries continued to charge fine.

Brought my phone to the AT&T store, and my case will charge a new G3 just fine. Was told to call the warranty line. After over an hour of discussion and troubleshooting, they sent me a refurb. Tested it out, charged fine wirelessly. Wiped my old phone and returned to stock. Rechecked - still cannot charge the original phone wirelessly.

One day later, the replacement phone is exhibiting the same behavior.

It seems this is a more common problem than I thought, but it is not being reported under the AT&T section.

Is anyone else having this problem? How long have you used the PMA wireless charging without a problem?

Alan
[AT&T LG G3] jdsemler:
I had this problem. I pre-ordered my phone, and within a week, it stopped wirelessly charging. I was lucky enough that the AT&T store swapped me out, and the new unit has been fine ever since.

I'm having the same issues. I thought it was something that I took off the phone from bloat but it wasn't. I want to return it but I have the phone running the way I want it to. Still debating if I should return it or stuck with no wireless charging. Maan this is all bad.
