I realize that now, I only had it set to zero the very first time I tried to render (have tried at least 4 times since then starting at 1 and most recently at 30). I will try next extending the duration to 80 maybe. Oh also i have gone back to look at the files and I did start with 000 although I believe this to be necessary only so you can drag and drop the images into the software and have them still be in order.
[Android] bogarty:
Yeah, name doesn't really matter just the sequence. The duration will probably always do better higher than 30 I think too unless you have a very low number of frames. How many frames do you have for each animation btw?
[Android] Koognod:
4 for some 2 for the rest. Theres only 30 frames in all

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

So 80 didn't work, still bootlooped =(
[Android] bogarty:
So, you have about 15 frames for bootsamsung.qmg and 15 for bootsamsungloop.qmg then maybe? Are you duplicating some of the images like I mentioned above or is each one different? Do you want it to loop at the end or just hang on a final image? You can go as high as 5,000 duration if you just have one or two images that you want to hang on in the bootsamsungloop.qmg, but I found that that doesn't work as well as just duplicating some of the images and providing a lower duration(ie. frame rate). Also, if you have a significantly low amount of frames and/or duration too, it may be that it's happening but it's just flickering by too fast. :)
[Android] Koognod:
No sorry, I only have made one folder so far because I was only focusing on getting the beginning animation working. so 30 frames for the total sequence. Also, if it were flickering by to fast my device would still be able to boot all the way, I could imagine, which has not been the case.
[Android] bogarty:
It's true it would just kick to the standard samsungbootloop.qmg after your animation if you only did the first part and only replaced the bootsamsung.qmg. I would say first though maybe, just put back the originals to make sure it still boots fine, then try making it work. Also, remember that the more complicated your animation is, the more complicated this process will be. Make sure your permissions still say that they're "rw-r--r--". Make sure that resolution is right and everything else is too, etc. Did you download the newest theme manager too? The link I provided should be fine. Also, if there's any steps you skipped because maybe you already did some stuff, maybe try starting from the beginning(except the image creation of course), but once you get it working right I think it's pretty easy to make more from here on out. Maybe try the animation emulator in theme manager too on the home tab. It won't show you the whole display, which is normal, but it will show you the rate of change between frames and whether or not it seems to be working. :)
[Android] Koognod:
It plays in the emulator. Also I have been restoring system from saved recovery in order to replace my custom animation in between flashes. My permissions have been set proper as well. Resolution too it says 480x800. It really confused me as well that my animation not working caused my phone to bootloop but as I've said I really can't find a step I'm missing.
[Android] bogarty:
Yeah it should be working if you followed those steps. We have the same device after all. The only thing I could say is maybe try making a super simple one first and get that working, then slowly build on it with more images as you go along. I rebuilt these files while I was making this tutorial to make sure I didn't miss anything and it still works fine. Also, you don't have to reflash the whole rom everytime to go back. Just copy back the originals. That's why I definitely always prefer copying over moving myself, as that way you always have the originals somewhere on your device.
[Android] Koognod:
Oh snap, finally saw a glimpse of it!!

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

Think I might have maybe figured out the issue.

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

I believe the culprit was maybe the fact I hadn't picked the same device in samsung theme manager you recommended. I had read previously it didn't matter. Once I tried again following your guide more thoroughly I got it to boot.

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Thank you again, sorry about giving you such a hard time. Especially since your tutorial is on point.

Could this also be accomplished with Gimp photo editor?

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

also can they be made to 60 frames instead? for smoothness purpose
[Android] bogarty:
Not sure what Gimp photo editor is, but probably not as the QMG format is pretty exclusive to Samsung. Why wouldn't you want to use the theme designer?

You can use as many frames as you want though. My last animation had about 200 frames. It just depends on how much you want the animation to change. The example I gave in this tutorial was just a simple one to make it extra easy to learn. You can do up to 500 duration btw to make the frame last longer, but if it's still not long enough, then you just have to duplicate some frames. :)
[Android] drago10029:
I meant can I use GIMP instead of photoshop? it's a open source free photo editor. Photoshop is like a lot of money that some people don't have :(
[Android] bogarty:
Oh shoot...haha! Sorry. To me the term "Photoshop" is a specifically universal term for just making decent images. It won't matter where you make your animation, but it will matter for your Core Prime that they are exactly 480x800 resolution. They should probably be PNG format too if you can produce that. Also, obviously, the names of each frame must be numbered properly.
[Android] drago10029:
cool thanks, and is there anyway to make a bootanimation run 60 fps instead of 30?
[Android] bogarty:
Well, 30 was just the number of frames I used total for each animation in the example. Not the frames per second. If you had 60 frames per second for a 2 minute boot animation, then you'd have to make 7,200 images, so you don't want that. It doesn't do that anyway though. The animation is more like a gif than a video, where each frame lasts awhile. The speed is altered in "duration" too, but I believe it's in milliseconds, which isn't very fast. That's why you might have to duplicate some frames to allow for enough time so that each image can be seen.

For instance, in my DOS animation(linked in the OP), I used about 185 frames(which was 36 images duplicated) for the first animation, but only 20 frames(which was only 4 images duplicated) for the second animation(ie. the looping part at the end). In other words, I had to be duplicate each image 5 times and put the each animation at a duration of 450, so that it would last long enough to appear at the proper speed, as I don't think the duration goes higher than 500ms. There's an emulator in theme designer where you can preview your animation too, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to show the true speed, so you may have to just make the animation a few times and test it out each time until it displays at the speed you want. Anyhow, I hope this helps. :)
[Android] Casper5point0:
How's it going, so I've started playing with creating custom boot animations on my SCH-I545 running on OF1.

Instead of using a photo shop program I've used a video to jpg converter to create image files from some anime vids then built them into qmg on Samsung Theme Designer.

I've also have successfully created sound clips to go with the bootup. I use a free online ogg converter. I've had full success with this process.

Its just a matter of tweaking the fps/duration to get "my desired" play out length. Once I get this down I'd like to share my animations. Could you direct me to the best thread to post them to.
[Android] bogarty:
Cool. Yeah it's fun once you get started. My last 2 animations also contain sound too. If you'd like to share your animations btw, then the best place is probably in the "Themes" forum here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/themes

You can just create a new thread in that forum, either for all your animations(and just keep updating it with new ones) or make individual threads for each one. If you're making one specifically for your SCH-I545 though, then it should probably go in the forum for that device somewhere instead. I did the same with mine. My animations that were for all devices I put in the "Themes" forum and the ones for my specific device I posted in the forum for my device. The links for my animations are at the bottom of the first post if you want to see where I put them or if you want to look at an example for some ideas of maybe how to format your post. :)

Where in the directory should we put the QMG files again?

[Android] ShinyMK:
You sir are a mother ****ing LEGEND! :D
[Android] Ronald Dwk:
Was looking for this :good:
[Android] FazPhantom:
So I was making a boot animation in After Effects and then I decided to save my animation as a PNG sequence. I get a folder with ~800 frames in it. The problem is that the Samsung Theme Designer can only take 255 frames. So I'm wondering if there's any way to go past this limit. The help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Android] bogarty:
Whoa 800 is a lot. How many frames per second is that?(ie. 800 divided by how many seconds long the animation is.) Probably doesn't need to be any more than 30 FPS to look good, so you can probably take out about 600 of those for a 6 or 7 second animation that repeats. Otherwise it might be a pretty big file size for people to download too. Too many images may even cause the animation to lag on slower devices. I don't think there's any way to do more than 255 though, but you can do 255 for both bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop if you want.
[Android] FazPhantom:
I made the animation at 29.97 FPS - so nearly 30.
[Android] bogarty:
So that would be 26 or 27 seconds which would be too long really. Not sure, but I think if the animation is too long it will force the device to take that long to boot. Either way you may have to speed up the animation to ensure that the whole thing is seen properly. I think that all happened to me once too. I had to subtract a bunch of frames and speed up the animation so it would display in a good amount of time.

You really want the animation to be short(maybe like 6 or 7 seconds at most) and either repeating or hanging on a single image at the end until the device boots. Here's an example of some short repeating ones I just made for a non-samsung device recently if you feel like checking the gifs out. :)

[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bethnesbitt:
For weeks now I have been trying to unbrick the LG G Pad V410, there is no V410 support here on XDA, so this was the closest I could get.

I have tried everything, and what I have found is that if I take a SDCard and partition it to match it to the EMMC of the V410 then use WindowsLGExtract to extract the KDZ/DZ. Next I flashed all the .bin to the sdcard, inserted in into the GPAD then hooked to my computer. Now it goes from Qualcomm QDL mode to LG Electronics. With the partitioned semi flashed sdcard, while holding down power, it shows the battery at 0 and tells to charge it, while doing the same on charger, it only shows at 0% but does not charge.

Only problem, no charge, no charge no KDZ flash possibility using LG flash tool :(

Was curious, so did a search and found a modemst1.imq and modemst2.imq for the LG G2 and flashed those to the SDCARD. Now when using the read phone information via LG Flash tool now, it now tells me that the imei is not valid, did not exist before.

I'm trying to create a flashable zip that executes a shell script when it's flashed. I figured that the Edify Script command was this:

run_program("/path/to/shell/script/file.sh");

I've tried this in my flashable zip but it doesn't work. Am I using the wrong command? Any help would be appreciated!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Did you set permissions to 755 on the script after it was extracted? If not, that is probably why it didn't work as zip files won't preserve file permissions, so it would have been extracted at 644 most likely, making it unexecutable. What you have listed should work though. Here is a decent reference on the updater-script.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beakhole:
Yeah I set perms to 755. Here's the exact code I use:

show_progress(0.99, 30);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d/FixGSv4.sh");
run_program("/system/etc/init.d/FixGSv4.sh", "execute");
show_progress(1.0, 1);
unmount("/system");

Not sure what else to do to make it work. Do you think that it might be because the code in the shell script are commands like this?

#!/system/bin/sh
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.location.places.ui.aliaseditor.AliasEditorActivity

Can pm commands not be run from recovery?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Try running the commands via adb shell and see if it works that way. Also, why do you have "execute" in the same line as the script? That may be the issue as well, but it should just throw a warning. Also, is there anything in the recovery log?

I recently purchased a Samsung Blackjack, my first smartphone. Personally for someone who has never owned a Palm/PocketPC/Blackberry this is a really good beginner phone and I am satisfied so far. The only questions I do have are, I have done a lot of research and the official WM6 Update has not been released for the Blackjack, but when I search on these forums I see all sorts of ROMs? Are these just beta ROMs re-programmed by users here? Because from what I know WM6 is not official for the Blackjack yet.

And also one more thing, I know the blackjack has a microSD slot. Spectec is in the process of creating a Micro SDIO 802.11b/g WiFi card, it's not been released yet but I tried to contact the company no response. Does anyone here know if any other companies make this card or if you have heard any news on the release date.

[LG V10 General] porscheoscar:
Correct if I'm wrong but I don't see V10 review videos from the top two YouTube reviewers with well over one million subscribers each. I know they reviewed LG's previous phones like the G4. You would think with the aggresive LG promotional offer that these two reviewers would have had an interest in informing the public that LG were throwing everything and the kitchen sink behind their first V series phone, both in terms of features that touch on many of their favorite topics like audio (32 bit DAC) and photo (full manual controls on video) and the unique second screen feature as well as the marketing. Was there ever another flagship phone that gave away $250+ in accessories? I can't think of one. This phone and it's launch has more than enough to distinguish it from most other phones in the flagship category. It sounds like there is either some politics or payola going on. There's no way they aren't aware of this phone and it's unique position as the last combination of SD card and removable battery.

Again apologies if I missed their reviews of the V10 but I subscribe to both and didn't notice a notification for the V10.
[LG V10 General] kgbeezr1:
I don't have anything particularly noteworthy to add, other than the fact that my impression is also that the V10 has been a little (oddly) overlooked in the press and media. At least compared to other phones like the Note 5 and S6 models that pretty much every site and reviewer covered ad nauseam. I also noticed Mobile Tech Review didn't touch the V10, that's usually the first Youtube review I hit.

It's strange considering not only the promotion, but the fact that the phone has no glaring flaws, excellent specs with a lower than average price (with T-Mobile at least) and includes 2 things many are still demanding in a phone - a removable battery and SD expansion. LG deserves extra respect and acknowledgement for not trying to nickle & dime the customer with ridiculous storage upcharges. Not sure about conspiracies, but considering that most "reviewers" are beholden to manufacturers for review units, it wouldn't surprise me. The only reviewers I really trust anymore anyway are MTR, Erica Griffin, and Max Lee. I noticed Erica posted some video taken with the V10, so I would assume she has a review coming soon.
