[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ril1:
aboot is the bootloader partition, laf is the download mode.

The bootloader is the first partition that starts the phone.

It has the particular role of checking that the result of the boot can be carried out.

Following, the boot continue with the kernel (or recovery). The bootloader checks before the kernel can be launched, watching it bears a signature that proves its integrity.

if the kernel is not the original, it does not contain the desired signature and the bootloader does not start it (security boot error).

So we can't have custom recovery or custom kernel, without bypassing this method of verification, included in the bootloader.

The first solution was loki, but it just worked with JB bootloader. LG had patched loki on the KK booloader. So, when KK arived, we had to downgrade aboot (bootloader) for being able to boot a KK lokified kernel (and lokified recovery).

After, another workaround was found by the team codefire: bump! Bump can add the original signature to the kernel (and recovery). it worked with the kk bootloader and JB bootloader but no more with LP bootloader.

So for continuing to exploit Bump! with LP, we have to downgrade aboot (bootloader), like we did for loki in KK.

So for LP, we have to downgrade aboot (bootloader) to a KK version, bump recovery, and bump LP kernel for injecting inside the KK signature that KK bootloader is waiting.

I don't think original twrp is bumped, so don't flash it with a kk bootloader.

Note: loki is generally made on the fly (the process is made during the flash). Bump can be done before the flash or during the flash (live bump).

Last note, bootloader check if the download mode is correct too (laf), if its version is good, and doesn't start it if it dosen't match. So if we downgrade bootloader, we have to downgrade laf too.

boot is the kernel partition.

Today, in the light of what I just explained, no other rom than original can start with a LP bootloader.

Hi!

My English is not perfect, so I want to be sure that I understood everything well.

For the moment, if we want to have custom recovery (bumped TWRP) we have to downgrade bootloader (aboot) and laf (download mode) and flash bumped LP kernel. Is that correct?

The answer is that if you are on a d802 rooted stock LP, yes (downgrade to kk, i don't know/test to jb even if in theorie jb could work too)

[BOOTANIMATION] QHD Moto X with Nexus Logo and Nexus 6 Trailer <Updated 10/04/15>

Hello XDA,

I always liked the Moto X Boot Animation when i had mi Xperia Z Ultra and Note 3, but i never get to used it since they was a Sony and a Samsung, so no M logo for them.

But now with my Nexus the history is diferent, and since i never liked the google's Boot Animation (only the Galaxy Nexus One) with the X or the coloured dots spinning around, i've decided to update it with a cooler one.

i was triying to use MP4 videos as Boot animation, but seems like it only works on 5.0.x and not 5.1, so i decided to build a QHD version of the regular (using images) Moto X Boot Animation, and later i've decided to include the nexus logo in it.

I used the Boot Animation version from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/motorola-moto-x-bootanimation-t2391927 and upscaling to 1440x2560, and include the nexus logo in the bottom of the Motorola Logo.

Here you will find the bootanimation.zip that i've made and the original one in case you messed it up.

just rename your old one to .bak and copy the new one setting Octal 644 permissions or rw-r-r and thats it.

Moto X Boot Animation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8mccIIJvIWnNWUtaWhnS25kTnM/view?usp=sharing

Stock Boot Animation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8mccIIJvIWnb3lwRXdjeV85M1E/view?usp=sharing

i was going to make a .zip version to install via recovery, but this is almost idiotproof, since if you mess it, it wil either go black during boot, or just show Android logo.

[YOUTUBE]B9aauqaUVjc[/YOUTUBE]

Some Frame Images Attached

Update...

Well i was looking for nice BA to port for Nexus, but most of them were in really low resolution, so when you upscale them the result was all pixelated, so i start working to convert videos to BA, and this is my first attempt.

This Boot Animation it's extracted from the Official Nexus 6 Trailer, and ends with the word nexus breathing while the X goes and comes. its in landscape mode, but the result is pretty good.

[YOUTUBE]wk-PY2dBKaA[/YOUTUBE]

Remember to rename your original BA to .bak and then push the new one. In case you mess it up, just get into TWRP, mount system, then get in to advanced and file explorer, navigate to system/media, delete the BA.zip and rename the.bak to .zip and thats it.

As ussual, just push the zip to System/Media to use this BA, and set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r)

I was thinking the Same, but i couldn't find the black version. i was trying to change the white version to black, but since it has a lot of details around the logo, it was a titanic task to change 303 images one by one.

found one, but i still dont like it... it has like a white holow around the logo because of the objects.

tell me if it worked
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] clothednblack:
The one with a black background would be awesome for sure. I'm still trying to get any of these to work. Rooted, unlocked, Chroma rom, moved to system/media, named "bootanimation.zip", permission set 644. All I get is either "android" or no animation at all, just the Google splash.

Edit: it decided to work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] welshandy2322:
Make sure you delete the old boot film before copying the new one over
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] TheLoverMan:
for some reason i did not have a boot animation in the folder, so did not need to rename anything.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Lesser Version:
[MENTION=3056161]****[/MENTION]motions I downloaded the original Moto x BA zip with the Nexus at the bottom and applied with no issue. The updated zip just gave me an android with no bootanimation. I tried to download the zip two posts above this one, however it was a very large download, so I stopped and deleted it. Just trying to figure out if there is a broken link or(me) user error. I replace BA all the time and it is very easy. Checked and set permissions. All the same routine. I just went back to the original for now, which is great by the way. Thank you!!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dave2metz:
OP is sort of confusing as to which link has what boot animation. Great job with the animations though.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] KnifeSkills:
Alternatively, you can get the mp4 video as bootanimation to work by copying over /system/bin/bootanimation from this thread (or from one of the Moto devices that use mp4 bootanimations by default) as well as the mp4 bootanimation.zip and changing permissions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] clothednblack:
Anyone get the black version finished or working?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] dave2metz:
I was thinking the same thing. A black version would be really nice looking.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kikemotions:
You can see a few post before the black version Gif. it is a poorly version, that cuts most of the objects around the globe, even the cloud gets black because of the color change. there are objects with gradient to white and since you cant change the gradient color if you dont have the original, it will look prety uggly.

Check the GIF and if you want i can try to port that one, but it look improvised to me.

Check the difference between boot versions
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] xterra91:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Hououtate:

One of the principle advantages of an AMOLED screen is that it can save power when black is displayed. Many websites and app interfaces (e.g. the default messaging apps) and even the settings menus have light backgrounds however. What's the best option (that doesn't increase the load on the processor by e.g. inverting all colours) to optimise use of the screen/battery?

I haven't rooted my phone because the ordeal to do so without tripping Knox is diabolical.

Thanks!

[Samsung Gear S] Ashton_Durkhun:
Ok, little background here:

First, just to clarify I am not afraid of rooting my phone and have rooted all my android devices to date and JB all my Apple Devices.

Second, because Sprint/Samsung announced the Note2 was compatible with the Gear S I decided to try to set it up with my N2... Things went very badly... I spent two weeks and almost returned my GearS out of frustration (Glad I didnt, but...) ultimately, I gave up and used my upgrade with sprint to get a Note 4 since I was having some hardware issues anyway (mic was dieing). I'm loving the new phone, but am missing some features I had on my N2 because I've not rooted my N4 (and the "no root required" alternatives are... awkward, at best, and don't have most of the features I want). The main worry I have is that rooting it might somehow break compatibility with my GearS, which I use every day very heavily and spent weeks getting working.

Short version:

Will rooting my phone (Sprint Note4, android 4.4.4) cause any problems with my GearS?

I am not planning on loading any custom roms or kernals, mostly just want backup (Titanium Backup) and tethering (Galaxy Tools) possibly in the future adding an app that lets me use a BT gamepad like PS3 or Wiimote... Not planning to even remove any sprint bloatware apps since N4 lets you hide them from the app menu.

I'm pretty sure it wont affect the GearS, but after all the hassle I've been through I'd rather not risk it and decided to ask first to be 100% sure.
[Samsung Gear S] Ashton_Durkhun:
Wow... (as of now) 61 people viewed this thread and NONE of them have a rooted phone... on XDA... that's amazing! -_-*
