If you want to flash a rom which is not based on Sony ROM, you'll have to unlock your Z3(like CM based ROMs). But if you want a Sony based custom rom such as ExistenZ, Moonwalker vs. you don't have to unlock your bootloader.

MotoBlack Stitches Boot Theme / Animation by xpmule 2016​

This is the default Motorola Marshmallow "Stitches" Boot Logo + Animation converted to Black.​

What you get here ?

- Flashable ZIP for the BootLogo

- Properly packed BootAnimation.zip

- A new simple dark / wide Wallpaper 1080x960 based on the Stitches Background Texture

Why ?

I installed Marshmallow and i did not like the White background on the Boot Logo & Animation.

So i converted them all Black retaining the original colors.

What ?

Quality.. i went to intense lengths to make this as high quality as possible.

I also wanted this to be a theme set of sorts. (i already shared the BootLogo on another topic)

How ?

I dumped Lossless images for every single frame in the original video animation..

Then applied a Photoshop plugin filter effect and saved each frame.

I had to carefully edit 456 png images totaling 531 mb's

Then i examined the original video animations and copied the format / encoder settings 100% exact with FFMPEG.

SO i carefully took apart the original animation changed it then rebuilt it the same as it was.

The original animations was just under 10 mb's and my Black one is a hair smaller than that.

Which meant i had to optimize the quality and file size as much as possible.

Best way to do that i figured was to just copy what Motorola did 100% the same.

Install ?

Copy the 3 MotoBlack Files i shared to your SDCard on your phone.

- BootAnimation Setup

You need Root access then go to this folder.. "/System/Media/"

Rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak (or similar)

You can do that with many tools but i chose to use RootExplorer.

Then replace the bootanimation.zip with the new one you got here.

I had no need to mess with permissions when i tested it so it should be working fine.

- BootLogo Setup

Either extract out the Logo.bin file from the flashable zip and use ADB to flash it.

Or just copy the flashable zip to an SDCard etc and flash it via TWRP

- Wallpaper Setup

I hope i don't have to tell you all how to put a Wallpaper on your phone ;)

Quick Notes:

There is a lot more info + Source on the Boot logo and the custom menu text graphics on my other topic.

I also got a few other wallpapers that look good with this i will share later.

I don't want to load this topic with too much info or Pictures..

[E 2015 Themes and Apps] xpmule:
I will keep this reserved for some updates but i had a question for you all..

Can someone tell me if the 2nd part of the animation shows up ?

Let me back up a bit..

All the official Moto-E 2015 "Surnia" Boot animations (i seen) are made up of 2 video files + a config text file.

The First one is always just a clip that is meant to run once.

And the 2nd one is a super short clip meant to loop for as long as it takes to boot.

Note:

The OLD Moto-E "Condor" use Images not Videos so don't use the Animations i share with the old Moto-E

I don't "think" the video format ones will work.. and the image kind tend to be a problem on the new Moto-E

Ok so here is the problem guys..

My phone Boots too fast.

So i have not actually seen the 2nd part of the animation run.

The first part of the Animation is 15 seconds long so if you boot up in less than 15 seconds..

you will never see the 2nd part of the animation.. see what i mean ?

So if someone can tell me if they seen the 2nd 1 second long *looping* video clip come up that would cool ;)

(It's the blue Moto Logo with some stitches that circle around the logo)

EDIT:

I plan on deleting the comment above later.

I also added a Wallpaper now to match the BootLogo i made MotoBlack "Earth"

But i noticed as i am adding the attachment it's saying it's a 100 kb jpeg not a 600 kb png.

Jpeg's are garbage low quality crap.. i am trying to add a png for a reason.

If i want jpeg's i will encode them myself with MY settings using my tools.

SO i have added 2 wallpapers so far but if this is what happens to them i am deleting them

and resharing them as zipped png's or something.

Anyway lol ;)
[E 2015 Themes and Apps] xpmule:
Been doing some testing and i am suspicious Motorola made some mistakes.

For one thing the quality of the Video's are super high.

Also the frame rate is 24ps and the Lollipop one was 30fps.

What i shared was 99.99% the same in EVERY way as the original MM Animation.

Which is a problem..

- File size is super mega high, almost 10mb's (Lollipop's was less than 1mb)

- The Stitches time / duration is way too long.

The original is about 4,000 kbps bit-rate.. but it only needs to be about half of that.

(Lollipop's was 600 kbps)

The MM video needs to be higher though because of the new background texture used.

Putting the bit-rate too low will cause excessive flickering in the animation.

On Lollipop it had a simple solid white background which allows for getting away with far lower bit-rates.

I did a LOT of quality testing and i think the best bit-rate for Stitches is about 2,300 kbps

But i also changed the frame rate too.

Why ?

I suspect Motorola may have meant to use 30fps like on Lollipop (but used 24 instead)

Using 30 fps will make the quality a little better and also shorten the video time slightly.

It seems to be running better now at 30 FPS. (looks normal to me)

Here check out my break down of stats..

Lollipop - 10.977 + 1.735 = 12.712 seconds (864 kb) - Stock 600 kbps / 30 fps.

Stitches - 15.0 + 4.0 = 19.0 seconds (8.64 mb) - Stock 4,000 kbps / 24 fps.

Stitches - 12.13 + 3.204 = 15.334 (4.04 mb) - My new black 2,300 kbps / 30 fps TEST.

So following this guys ? LOL

One thing i am saying is the 2nd part of the animation is never shown..

It takes 15+ seconds to get to the 2nd clip in the animation.

I made a test version using only the 2nd clip and checked my boot time.

My phone *visibly* runs the part 2 loop 3.8 times = slightly under 12 seconds.

So was this the intention by Motorola ? I highly doubt that (why bother making it if no one will ever see it ?)

I will add my test version so guys can try it out.. it's actually cool just on it's own i think.

In the meantime i am thinking of what to do with the part 1 video to shorten it.

I think i would either have to cut some part out or speed it up time wise even more.

Another option is to drop the 2nd clip entirely and optimize it's quality and frame-rate and set it to loop.

Since it's too long the majority of people would never see it loop even once anyway.

(This would make the bootanimation.zip 3.29mb's instead of 9.26 mb's)

So i am adding the Hidden-Clip#2 Looping Test version as an attachment here (it's 769 kb's)
[E 2015 Themes and Apps] xpmule:
- Uploaded NEW Optimized Version -​

I mentioned on my last post i think the animation should be optimized but i never uploaded it.

I sort of forgot to share it hahaha

What i will post now is simply the Marshmallow Stitches Animation "black" but fixed up as best i can..

I explained how it's improved on the previous comment.

So this is 30fps / 2300 kbps / a bit shorter time duration @ 4 mb's

What i uploaded has the Intro part then the 2nd looping forever part (like the original)

This newest version is half the size of the original but the best quality i can do i think.

It also has both parts.

In case people did not know the Stock animations from Moto are *usually* 2 video files in a zip + 1 text file.

(I was discussing earlier if it would be good to drop one etc)

I know this all is a whole lot of word salad so sorry about that people.

For those interested in the details i was hoping to just put it out there.

And of course what ever i share is fair game.. do what you want with it all people.

I repeat this is just a mod of the stock Marshmallow Boot Animation with a black background.

(i put the stock Marshmallow Boot LOGO converted to black on a separate topic AND on the 1st post here)

Lastly i added this new "best version" as an attachment and i also quickly retested installing it and viewing now.

(It looks like the animated preview on the 1st post)

The idea is so your phone boots up and it looks like the stock marshmallow stuff but with a black background now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GlocksNL:
Hi guys,

I am having trouble with LTE signal on android 6.0.1. I bought the phone in Malaysia when my old phone died on holiday. Now this s6edge was running on a modified android 5.1.1 which claimed to be a 925f model but it was a modified android somehow. Root check showed root access but no modified bootloader or supersu apps. 4g did work but a lot of other things did not work properly (because csc was CHN).

I found out I had a 925p model after failing trying to manually flash the phone to a Dutch marshmallow stockrom for the 925f (which tripped the KNOX counter grrr). The original bootloader showed the phone was 925p, so I flashed with the newest pb6 6.0.1 rom.

All seemed working fine but I cannot receive LTE signal anymore. Atm living in the UK with UK sim and I can only receive a slow H+ signal. Will i need to flash the modem.bin from 5.1.1 to get it working again?

I am getting kind of desperate now. I am not rooted and only wish to get a decent working phone and signal!

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koroveshi:
My power button gets stuck and as you know when you long press it it reboots the phone. So basically my phone is just constantly rebooting and rebooting, its practically unusable. I need help if anyone knows a way to disable the function of power button, I mean so the power button wont do any function anymore, or swap it with another button.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceDye:
I had the same problem. Got the button replaced, it worked for a month or so and I started getting the random reboots again. A search on the internet reveals that this is a common problem with the S3, and I doubt they fixed the issue for the S3 neo.

1.5 years of use and my power button is broken, my volume buttons are mushy and my camera doesn't focus at all. The build quality on this phone is a joke.

You'll probably have to have your power key replaced as well. Or do what I did and remove it from the motherboard. You won't believe how flimsy the solder is. I now use the accessibility shortcut button to lock / unlock my phone. It's a hassle and it takes up screen real estate, but at least it works.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koroveshi:
Mine stopped doing it now but I'm sure it will start again. You are right, build quality of this phone is really lame. That part on the sides that looks like metal is mostly worned off from my phone. Camera focus is crap and volume is lower than before, I can barely hear notifications. Maybe I'll remove the button too, but I'm concerned about how to boot the phone if it turns off.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceDye:
You can turn on the phone by connecting the charger, immediately booting into download mode (before the battery icon comes up) and restarting from there. It's not the best solution, but at least I have a functional phone until my oneplus x arrives sometime this week :)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Modified boot.img of a rom is required to be flashed on that rom so that it works with TWRP.

Enabling ADB during first boot creates a way out in case your phone bootloops or stuck at MI logo and also hardbricked.

Many people hardbricked their phone while flashing MIUI based roms through TWRP, and they had to test-point to bring their phone back to life, my mod enables adb during boot and so people who used my mod and hardbricked their phone can access adb when their phone is stuck at MI logo or bootlooping and thus revive their phone.

Tools needed:-

1)Notepad++ (google it and download)

2)Android Image Kitchen(AIK) http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3638835&d=1454959265

Steps:-

1)Download the required rom and extract its boot.img

2)Copy the boot.img to AIK folder and drag boot.img and drop it on unpackimg.bat

3)Open ramdisk folder and look for default.prop , open them with Notepad++

4)Editing default.prop Note:- This will enable adb at first boot

5)Change

ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=none to persist.sys.usb.config=adb
delete the line ro.secureboot.devicelock=1 if present

OR (Alternate way)(recommended)

open ramdisk and look for fstab.qcom, open with notepad++ and search for ",verify" (without quotes) and delete it and save.

6)Now execute repackimg.bat, a image-new.img file will be compiled.

7)Flash the image-new.img through TWRP or through fastboot using "Fastboot flash boot image-new.img"

That's all :)

P.S:- Remember only use Boot.img specific for the miui version you wanna run, boot.img version not matching with MIUI version

will cause the Wifi to stop working.

Press thanks If this helped.:good:

Any queries feel free to ask me.:laugh:

Thank you! I just did it. It has booted and almost over in the "Optimizing apps" window. Thing is, I did forget to wipe system, data and cache before flashing, should I do it again or will it be fine like this?

I booted the phone and it showed the Mi logo, then 4 circles screen flying around (green, red, blue and yellow) and it has been like this for like 5 min now.. Did I do something wrong? I'm starting to worry to be honest.

are you sure you are using the boot.img of the MIUI version you are flashing? there is two 7.2.3.0 version of boot.img one for global and one for china.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukatech:
Hello, I've followed a certain tutorial and flashed a fastboot Rom with modified emmc file in attempt to unlock bootloader by force because, even after two weeks of trying, I can't get a confirmation SMS from xiaomi to confirm sending an unlock request. After doing it and flashing TWRP onto my device, I'm still unable to enter recovery. Just shows a picture of device and a disconnected usb cable. I need to flash SuperSU in order to get root access.

Because this device is getting me really confused, please answer a couple of questions for me. :confused::confused:

If I flash a recently uploaded global stable ROM 7.2.3.0. and flash TWRP with a modified boot image from this tutorial, will I finally be able to enter recovery and install SuperSU?

Flashing will probably relock my bootloader. Is it possible for me to finally enter TWRP and flash SuperSU after flashing the new boot image?

I've thought that I could enter TWRP just by unlocking the bootloader but it seems that I've missed something. I can't remember last time a phone got me this confused. :eek:

My only goal here is being able to enter TWRP and rooting my phone, I gave up on unlocking the bootloader officially because I can't ever get that confirmation SMS.

I appreciate the help!! :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
as you have already unlocked bootloader by official method, what you need to do is flash TWRP via fastboot by using this command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" remember twrp.img should be inside the fastboot folder. after flashing is complete hold power up and power button until it enters in TWRP. Now download the latest 7.2.3 global rom and download modfied boot.img of 7.2.3. now open the rom zip file in winrar and delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file inside the firmware-update folder (orelse you'll hardbrick your device, follow this step for every miui rom) and now copy the rom zip to phone and flash it through twrp. Now flash modified boot.img through TWRP. Thats all you're done.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukatech:
Thank you for your time sir!

I don't know if I did something wrong previously while flashing TWRP or the problem was that due to lack of research, I didn't flash any kind of modified boot img, but that's not the issue anymore.

Your tutorial helped a lot, TWRP automatically prompts to install SuperSU for you which I didn't expect at all. I thought that installing SuperSU and root would be another yet complicated step for me, thankfully it wasn't.

My Redmi Note 3 is now in the state that i wanted when I first got it!

Once again, thank you for your time! :D:D
