boot animation problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem changing the boot animation on my note 3. I've done something wrong and I don't know what to do. First it's a sprint note 3 rooted running 4.4.2 stock, with a build that ends in NC5, es file explorer, cwm 6 recovery. I first tried to load it with boot animation, root and all that happened is that the sprint part of the boot animation went black since then trying different "flash able" boot animations I've lost the Samsung part of the boot animation, so now it's only the Samsung splash at start up the black then the phone starts. I did however manage to get one of the shut downs at the end. I've also tried to do it manually by extracting zips into the download folder and moving the files to system/media and changing the permissions to RW R R with no success. Different resolutions, downloaded software to try to do it from my pc, Now I'm ponding my head on the desk because I can't figure out what to do. Can you advise me on what I can do to get this right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ed Howard

first off you need to be rooted, i'm guessing you are.

and i own a verizon note 3, but i think for the sprint note 3, the files might be named differently.

Hello, one of my Android phone (not present on xda) got its LCD damaged apparently. Strange cause i don't remember hearting it ever, and it's supposed to have last gorilla glass.. Anyways, there are like very tiny vertical invisible lines which makes text & everything looks pixelated.

This still let you use the phone, just can't read small text. But after ~20' with screen on (any use) one side + other parts of it while really get fuc*** up more & more. Turning screen off & then on just after will make issue go.. Until next ~20' use.

If i push a little hard on a specific place, then lines will comes and go, once again after on/off. Sometimes they'll stay for a while, listing "ghosting" (or maybe it's not that word?). Any ways to "repair" this without disassembly?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Not likely without dis-assembly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Nothing to be done about that without replacing the LCD. Gorilla glass has nothing to do with the LCD, for future reference. The Gorilla glass is only for the top glass.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
I know that of course.. What i meant is : how could the LCD be damaged this way if 1/ i'm cautious 2/ it has gorilla glass.

Could this be a bad LCD that started dying only after days of being ON? I'm planning on getting same phone but i'm worried..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Just depends on the phone. Nowadays many of the phones are so focused on being slim with tiny bezels that it doesn't take much to break the LCD. I've known people that broke their phone just from being in the front pocket. Never dropped or hit anything, etc. I own a little repair shop and have seen it more than once and have read about others online with similar issues. And sometimes parts just go bad. Just like any other tech based thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
I see.. Ayways, as said i can still use it, things will just get bad after a moment, i'll just turn off/on and all's gone.

Will it goes on like this forever? I mean, unless accident happens, it won't get worse? Better either i guess..?

Hey guys, back giving it another shot at a bootanimation. this time i got a little creative because i'm having trouble thinking of ideas. but i was downloading some HD wallpapers for my note pro 12.2 and came across a few images i liked and got the idea to create an animation just by doing a pan across the still image. it actually came out pretty nice. so again, these are just from still images, it kinda looks jittery, i did the best i could with it. i'm sure some of you fans will appreciate it. i don't even play the game, lol. let me know what you guys think. thanks

[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
Search my friend..this question has already been answered earlier..to drop a clue (i don't know the whole stuff) edit build.prop to enable ro.network.mode and also change operator name..but beware changing operator name had consequences..search
[LG Optimus G Pro] laith1234:
thanks my friend for your answer but the problem it that i have searched a lot and i've got almost nothing, the problem is that when i found what i was searching for i have done exactly as it is mentioned and it did not work, even that after restarting the phone the setting was still changed to "Enable" but it didn't work

anyway thanks :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] cell.freak:
same here.

i think build.pro method not working on stock kitkat . earlier same was working on jellybean.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Justin92:
To enable network selection mode for lg kit kat e980 edit build prop using root explorer change the following line from ATT to OPEN root is required for this.

you gonna lose the mobile hotspot function.... and just by curiosity I have play with the build.prop and I"m unable to write more than 3 letter when trying to edit to open...it give me "OPE"...can add the "N"
[LG Optimus G Pro] Justin92:
Yea thanks forgot it disable mobile hotspot but to add OPEN hit backspace by the first # to add the last letter.

This "upgrading" on boot only happens if you wipe dalvik cache. Try to flash some other rom here from xda as if you do something wrong then you can brick your device. One possibility is flashing his efs partition to your device. That would probably be a hard brick.
[Xposed General] Maxr1998:
I'm having problems in creating an Xposed module, especially in importing the XposedBridgeAPI in Android Studio.

Since the development tutorial is made for Eclipse, I don't have any reference points...

At first, I tried to import it the "normal" way in gradle build script, with different locations for the XposedBridgeApi.jar, first in libs/ folder, then outside the project folder, both times including it in build.gradle with:

compile files('libs/XposedBridgeApi-54.jar')

It built successfully, and I could install and activate in Xposed Installer, but after rebooting the module didn't work and I got a "java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation".

I googled it, and found this: Same problem, @rovo89's answer.

So I tried to find a different way of including the XposedBridgeApi, without including it into the apk, and found this: Link

Sadly, it didn't work, I couldn't do the last step with compileSdkVersion, it said the this target isn't available...

So, is anyone successfully using Android Studio for making Xposed modules? Anybody having same problem?

Cheers, and thanks in advance,

Max

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mke1973:
I'm seriously considering ordering this phone, the specs are great but what's driving me is better battery life. I've got a Moto G, which is very nice; however, my battery life has never been good. (My first Android phone was an Huawei and I like the brand very much--my little ole Huawei is still running strong and serves as a cordless VOIP phone in the house.) Has Huawei made any announcements about rolling out KitKat to this phone? TIA
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] elpcmaster:
Huawei Device USA will not give a date because the big boys in China will not allow them to. But I know the Chinese Version of the HAM2 is already on KitKat.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
kk isn't a deal breaker for me.

Right now, the Mate2 is performing without issues, lockups etc. Once/if kk is released, I'm going to hold off until reports

come back. I am getting to cranky to deal with bugs.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mke1973:
Thanks for the info. The lack of KitKat isn't a deal breaker for me, I was just wondering. I really want decent battery performance, good specs and a decent price and the HAM2 seems to fit the bill. The build quality of my old Huawei was good and from what I'm reading in reviews, this phone seems well built. I'm just about to pull the trigger on Amazon once I decide on color. (I suspect it will be the black one.)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
Unless you watch video over LTE 24/7, using it as a phone, web browser etc....I get 2-3 days EASY on one charge. That, and the price are what

sold me.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
As elpc has said, there is a KitKat version but it's for the Chinese model at the moment.

When I read the phone reviews on Amazon, one of the reviewers said he was told by Huawei reps that KitKat for the US models would come in either July or August.

I don't know if we'll get it, or when, but I do hope we get L!

Some friends of mine said you bought a Huawei? Yuck, it's a Chinese phone, they have spyware that sends stuff to China.

I simply answer...what ISN'T made in China, and what company, government DOESN'T spy and send data to someone?

I bought it do to the value, the battery life and the screen. No bloatware, unlocked for $300. Bang for the buck, that's what

I look for.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Exactly this. I'm pretty sure Apple and Google do the same thing. In fact, Apple just admitted to storing data in its Chinese servers. And some guy was arrested for illegal pornography in his Gmail account as well.

Hell, there's the US and German secretaries phone call spying thing too. Everyone spies on everyone nowadays. You can't avoid it.

Samsung $700? Battery sucks, went to downtown San Francisco 8am before even 12 from full battery to low battery warning, I returned it the next day it is been to me for a week so battery is well charge up.

HAM2 I tried watching Netflix yesterday just to test the battery over 4g, it sucks that I just got almost 10hrs may be 15mins short before battery is 10% left and it is just $299, did I made the wrong choice?

But if they don't update to KITKAT before September 11 I will consider returning this. Good thing I bought this on amazon, they pay back shipping you can't go wrong on what you buy.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] gierso:
I entered a chat support from Huawei and they told me KitKat was on the way :) but they coulndt commit to a date:(...

Aand as for L they toldme they would make an statement when its out :/

Really hope we get L afterwards. If not, hopefully we'll have custom ROMs by then.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] abczhou:
First , I am a Chinese, so I am supposed to encourage you to buy a phone made by Chinese company, BUT I don't.

Why? Because Huawei is really not a company to support , if you speak chinese, you can get a lot of negative messages from chinese forum about how they do business, bad business ethic, bribe everywhere,etc. You will know how we dislike Huawei.

China development bank provides a huge financial support to huawei , so that they can offer you a smartphone or network devices with very low price, the money actually is from all chinese people,

of course, it is your choice ,but as for me and my friends, we will never buy any products from Huawei in life.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I'm Chinese too, I didn't know that; I'm sorry about that.

If I knew that I would've picked something else.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
It's funny, I never even gave this phone a thought when I saw the specs, but (now here is the really funny part) after reading reviews of it on the OnePlus One user forum, and the price, I bought one and was really surprised how well it works for having "substandard" specs. It's fast, screen is bright, snappy, no lag, works quite well and that 2-3 day battery is REALLY nice. I could give two hoots if it has the latest greatest OS. JB4.3 is good, not buggy and works. Smartphones are my lifeblood for work and 4 weeks in, this thing has yet to let me down.

I use about 1500-2000 minutes per month on the phone, lots of web use, email, text and photos, and it's great! People are getting hoodwinked by thinking they "have to have" a device with the 2k screens, latest OS to do anything, but all they are doing is wasting money and getting 1/2 a day battery life. Hey, it's your money, but me, personally, I'd rather have some value for my money.

Recently, HuaweiDeviceUSA posted this picture of Emui 3.0 (KitKat) on Instagram and I asked them which devices it would be coming to. They told me we'd find out "soon". Seeing as Huawei only sells the Mate 2 in the US, I'm guessing our phone should be included. Why would the Instagram account for Huawei in America post this if KK would go on any phone but ours? It's kind of like Mercedes advertising a car in the US that isn't even sold in the US. This is purely just speculation though.

Here's the link to it if you're interested. It shows off some of 3.0's new features.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
I hope they change the damn Android soft buttons back to a black background like they're supposed to be. Honestly, I love this phone except for that gray background on the soft buttons! So annoying!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
In the Instagram picture, the screenshots show the black background, so fingers crossed.

And I know this is a small detail, but I also hope the status and navigation bars are transparent on the home screen.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
It also looks like they're using the Android 'L' style navigation buttons, which is pretty interesting given that this is supposed to be Kitkat based.... hmmm....
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] yfnew:
I know Chinese people love rumors, but as a ex-worker from Huawei, I would say a lot of those rumors are nonsense. True, Huawei currently does not really know how to do business directly with consumers yet because it already gets too used to do business with corporations. But Huawei is the last Chinese company I would believe that would bribe others. Now, as a consumer, do you really know how Huawei does business with corporations? If Huawei bribes, it would never have any business oversea, or are you actually suggesting that European govs accept bribery as well?

Also, even Chinese banks won't "give away" money to a company for free, so how come Huawei is wasting Chinese people's money? The bank is actually making a lot of money from Huawei. Furthermore, Huawei's products are almost twice as expensive in Europe than in China.

Still, it's your choice to choose Huawei or not. Also, this thread is about HAM2 not Huawei company.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
Quite frankly, I don't care IF they update to KK. Personally, JB4.3 runs GREAT, and IT IS STABLE.

You know that if/when they release KK, it's going to have to be patched a few times, to make it

stable. I'll pass on KK if it does officially come to the HAM2, UNTIL multiple people guinea pig it

a while. STABLE is what I like, this thing is my life from 8am-6pm, and I don't have time messing

with reboots, lock ups and lost data.

I refused to update my old Note1 past 4.1.2 for a couple reasons. 1. There was no official update

2. All the custom roms that were available, had this glitch or that problem.

I'll take stable over bleeding edge anytime.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] gierso:
thats android L !!!

looks like that is the android L style in buttons (play station style only missing the X)

i hope they get Kitkat on the mate 2, at least, but L will be wel received as well
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I do hope we get L! Maybe they think that is too much to ask for, so I hope we get KitKat, at least. And of course, root. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
Hi mate, If you go to Settings-Display and scroll to the bottom, put a tick in "Hide the notification background"

Your status bar will be transparent. This worked on 4.2.2, so i'm sure it should work for your US version.

The navigation bars are transparent on Home Screen of 4.4.2

Regards!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
No such option in Jelly Bean, or at least in EMUI. KitKat introduced transparency to Android.

Anyway, I made mine transparent using GravityBox!
