[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
so you can change anything you want in /system except the bootanimation correct? What about renaming say an audio file from /system/media/audio/alarms ? Rename one via twrp, then reboot into twrp once again, go to mount, tick system, then use file explorer to confirm. Also what happens if you delete the bootanimation in /system/media? normally android falls back to its internal boot animation text "android", but if the fallback animation is the same then that means Lineage have also modified the internal fallback animation

If you can rename them but can't rename the boot animation file then that sucks

Also about xbin leave it the way it is, don't touch it
[Android Themes] OldMid:
I just remembered, in the magisk documentation, topjohnwu says bootanimations have issues mounting correctly with magisk, the solution is to move it to /cache/mogisk_mount. This fixes it. MidnightCore has a post-fs-data.sh script that does this during boot. Try that. otherwise send me your boot animation, I'll add it to the module:)
[Android Themes] grinch247:
These are awesome
[Android Themes] lordkarma88:
I'll try that once I get home, thanks a bunch. Just to be sure, you mean put the bootanimation in /cache/magisk_mount, right?

And for putting the animation on MidnightCore, that would be great. It's in my first post on this thread. Thank you so much.

Edit: So I tried putting the bootanimation in the previously specified folder, that didn't work, the copy failed. I restored a previous nandroid and then tried putting it in /system/media and /cache/magisk_mount/system/media but the copy failed for that second one too.
[Android Themes] OldMid:
Try this:good:(ignore the zip name, thats the folder it was in)
[Android Themes] lordkarma88:
It's working! Yay :D

I'll try replacing the bootanimation in it with mine and see if it still works. Thanks a bunch, kind sir!

Edit: :mad: It didn't work. No bootanimation shows up, it stays on the Oneplus logo. Maybe there is something wrong with my bootanimation? I'll add a link to it because it's too big to attach... Could somebody have a look at it and tell me if I messed up somewhere?

[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
why does it say your boot animation is 358MB? Theres something wrong with this
[Android Themes] lordkarma88:
Because it is... maybe that's the problem? Actually it says 366mb in my files.
[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
normal bootanimations at most are like 30mb or more, or even less if the bootanimation has less frames

Yours has png files that are absurdly big in filesize and theres many folders of them too
[Android Themes] OldMid:
Thats why, imagine trying to fit the ocean in a cup, the magisk partition can only get so big:laugh:
[Android Themes] lordkarma88:
Huh, I should have checked that. I'll resize all those pics and try again. Thanks a bunch guys.

Edit: Ok so I started resizing the images and ran into a problem: the resolution is way to low :rolleyes:

I wanted to shrink each image to the size of the basic lineage bootanimation, which is about up to 3kB. For that I had to resize the original image, 1500x1800 to 83x100 (the smallest I could with the tool I'm using) and even so it's about twice as big for each image.

So that got me thinking, how can the basic lineage images have such high res and yet very low size? I poked around into the settings and found that their "bit depth" was 8, whereas my images were 32. So if I try to reduce that bit depth, that may reduce the size and yet keep the resolution (or at least make it better than it is now) :fingers-crossed:

I'm gonna look into reducing it and edit when I found something. Not now though, because it's late, I'm tired and working tomorrow.

Ps: If anyone has information about this "bit depth", it will be greatly appreciated :good:

Edit 2: Bit depth is how many colors an image has. 8 bit depth images have 2^8 colors (so 256), 32 bit depth images have 2^32 colors (an unreasonably high number that I definitely don't need). All that has to be done is use a tool to batch save the files as png-8 instead of png-32. It doesn't seem hard to do. I'm using pngquant it's working pretty good.

Edit 3: I finished and made a new bootanimation zip, and it's now drum roll 36kB instead of 360kB! I think it's still too big. I'll try anyway, let's see what happens!

Meh it's still too big. Or something's wrong with it? I'll upload it. And share the link. Here it is.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b9PCBHVwYzgUxgahI58JglqBbkh-1UVr/view?usp=sharing

I may try another tool to see if it can reduce the images even smaller.
[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
if you take Ouroboros Dragon images for example they're all about less than 40kb each more or less, the animation is simple so there's less files = takes less space

But what you wrote about the zip being 360kb that's way too low lol, you can have it be higher than that, images taking up say like 16MBs in total in the zip is fine, even if your bootanimation was 40MBs it would be ok, just be sure /system partition has enough space

But yeah, you don't have to go overboard and make your images 83x100, if the imgs are originally 1500x1800 then reduce it to 1080p or 720p, it's on a black background so it don't matter how smaller than your screen size you make it, just don't have it at the original img height/width cuz that's just bad

If the bootanimation had a colored background or such then yeah you'd wanna try to aim for either images shrinked down to your screen size or just do 1080p.
[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
Heres the default bootanimation of my rom (Resurrection Remix) as an example , it's less than 20MBs

Image width and height of this bootani is fine for a phone, even on big screens it works fine too
[Android Themes] 587.saboor:
Here's the boot animation from the ROM I'm using (Firehound) and for some reason it's less than what is mentioned in the above posts (6.6mb) maybe it has alot less frames than I think it has??

Check next post, it won't upload on this one

Oof it won't upload on next post

Lemme upload to mega
[Android Themes] lordkarma88:
So it seems the problem is not that it's too big? Hmm then what is it?
[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
Well no, size is also a factor, but in your case it's just that for some reason it won't let you modify your bootanimation

Is your device unlocked? (As in having to oem unlock before flashing another rom)

I'm pretty sure Oneplus requires a full unlock (by use of two commands vs using just one)
[Android Themes] ogsho:
how would you go about increasing the size of png to fit a nexus 6p screen resolution. right now it only covers a small part in the center of the screen.

btw... Amazing work.
[Android Themes] mauam:
Thanks. I'm using a S7 Edge which has the same resolution (1440 x 2560) as N6P & all bootanimations works (fit) perfectly.
[Android Themes] demonoidmaster:
did you take a look at my prior posts about the script
[Android Themes] mauam:
Sure. I will use mine when users request me a flashable. For some users may not work, for others there is the need to rename the bootanimation flashable.zip, but they're exceptions. When the two previous methods fail, I'll use your script:)
[Android Themes] Seagold:
How do I make but work in offic ( stock) lollipop.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loladin0:
Hello,

I have a problem with my OPO that has been going on for months now (I suspect it's hardware based? but not sure)

My opo can always connect to 2g network

My opo can only connect for a limited time to 3G/4G networks. If i change the network type, I get internet alright for about an hour or so. After some time or event (can't find a pattern), the phone is suddenly disconnected from mobile internet (even though data is ON), but my reception indicator is full. I also cannot place calls or get called: when I try calling, I get either a textbox "network unavailable" or the call attempt just ends on it's own without result. I'll call this state "fake 4g"

Here's what I have already tried:

-reboot, flash other rom, factory reset

-downgrade and upgrade TWRP back again

-messing around with 4636 (but i think i haven't tried switching to US band and back to EU - i'm from europe). Note: the interface shows precisely one cell tower when i'm connected to fake 4g

-going back full stock (flashing a version of cm prior to YOGPAS1N0) in order to update the radio. I even installed oxygen at some point

-pulling a logcat. However, this problem (other than the fact that i have only have a basic grasp of IT) is that I cannot exactly pinpoint WHEN fake 4g occurred without looking at the screen/placing a call. I managed to determine fake 4g came up between 4:55 and 5:46, which is still a heck of a logcat. In order to generate some logcat chatter, i've placed a few unsuccessful calls during fake 4g period (i've pinpointed those logs)

Does anyone have any idea as to the cause of this bug (not entirely sure it's hardware based because it works, well, sometimes...)? Or can anyone maybe tell me what to look for in that 50 minute logcat? I guess I can always have another logcat run in the weekend and check every 5 mins until i can spot fake 4g happening.

Note: I haven't opened it to check whether the antenna is plugged or anything (not that i would see much, i think). Anyway, i can always do it if need be.

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmm21:
I have been having a similar problem, the LTE range keeps fluctuating from zero to 3/4th to full from time to time, even when the phone is lying stable. Range appears well when on 3g. It isn't sim card based as iv'e tried various sim ,phone combinations.

Also i have noticed many topics appearing in the past few months regarding network issues ... some kind of a pattern ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loladin0:
Ah yeah I forgot to mention that I tried the simswap trick too, to no avail.

So you're suggesting the hardware antenna might be of poor quality, that might be the case. If so, I suppose the antenna cannot be easily changed (ie incorporated in mobo or whatever).

Does anyone know whether antennae are prone to fail in general?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Ak:
Nope.If there hasn't been anything that could damage the hardware,no.

I cant help but notice, after trying 4 or 5 different ROMs that are on here, they are all basically the same, just with a few different programs missing from some and included in others. Has no one made a ROM that is different or interesting - i'm sick of looking at the HTC Black theme with the HTC Home screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
So change the home screen and change the theme. Better yet, you could cook a rom yourself if you're unhappy instead of starting another pointless thread.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Zoisite:
Well while the roms may seem similar, some are much faster and more stable than others.

As for your other point, the beauty of windows mobile is that you can do whatever you please with it by simply installing cabs. Don't like HTC Home? Remove it and replace it. Sick of the HTC black theme? Change it. By simply searching on google, you can find thousands of windows mobile themes.

If you want your phone to be really unique and interesting, you can't count on different roms. The rom chefs make a good base rom for you, it is up to you to personalize it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ach2:
If all roms are the same, why have you bothered flashing new ones? Obviously your original shipped rom is as good as those offered here because "... they are all basically the same" - so why not flash back to the original and stop creating pointless threads.

The reason you (and we) flash new roms is because of the subtle differences - some faster, some more stable, some better looking without tweaks, maybe also because only ONE component is better etc etc.

As for no one making a rom that is "different or interesting" - I find them all different AND interesting. I'm also trying to learn how to cook my own by extracting or adding the components that I like best - if I come up with Rom Utopia I'll post it here - but I won't find this Utopia until I try all the other roms and extract the best bits.

In summary - flash if you want to or don't bother if they are all the same anyway, but stop posting useless junk, and stop criticising the work of others until you are in a position to be their peer.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Confused Stu:
Paulmezza, you have the beginnings of a valid point here, but you haven't finished it. What would you like to see in a ROM that would make it stand out from the crowd? There are some great programs and customisations out there, why not make a list of what you'd like to see in a ROM, and then post it. As other people have pointed out, we're only limited by the core Windows Mobile OS itself, everything else on the phone can be customized and tweaked. Post what you'd like to see and you might inspire a budding chef to build some of your ideas in - or you can take the plunge and cook it yourself! :)

What he stated in his post was that quote:

"Has no one made a ROM that is different or interesting - i'm sick of looking at the HTC Black theme with the HTC Home screen"

So the problem for him is the fact that they all look the same, not that there are subtle differences between them. So like others have already said, if someone does not like the look of a Rom, go ahead & change the appearance! Take the time to learn how to use RLToday, Ultimate Launcher, WAD and the whole slew of other Today Plugins and Customization apps that are out there. Its not really the chefs job to supply the eye candy, thats where individual taste comes in. Their main goal is cooking up a fast stable rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
Part of the problem lies with the end user...

Before selecting a Rom do you really know what you want out of your device?

I for one decided that as Applications are bound to change and what I want to do with my device is equally varied I would be better off the what's known as a "Clean" Rom.

So when I cook Roms that is what I make. I remove everything except the Core OS. then I add in registry settings that I prefer such as cache settings, at&t keyboard layout, etc.

Then I take all of the extracted applicatons and build cab files for them (unless I find someone else has already done a good job of this) and I collect those cab files into one place to share with everyone.

So with my XDA Live Rom what I've ended-up with is exactly the applications I choose to use with the max amount of free storage space. The effect is that I don't put any cache files/e-mail attachements on my storage card so I can safely use it when connected to my PC(s) via Card Export II.

Like anything in this universe, cooked roms are only what you make of them...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Infuruno:
I would like a fast clean rom with wm 6.1 (sinces its faster imo) i don't have a clue about registry stuff so one with all the necessary tweaks, your roms is at&t so thats why i don't use it since i have an mda vario III and havn't noticed a 6.1 one

I have nothing much to add other than to say that people's idea of entitlement these days simply amazes me. I feel like internet feed these "Me Generation" more than ever. What's wrong with getting your feet wet and trying few things out by yourself? Themes and gadgets are not part of an OS. You add that yourself to customize and make it your own. Others can't really do that for you. I hope chefs never take "theme" requests...because I feel like that would be the beginning of the end for a forum like this.

To give the original poster the benefit of the doubt, maybe the request was worded poorly and it conveys an unintended message? I think simple rewording of the original statement "sick of" to something like, "are there ways for me to customize my device?" would've resulted in lot better reaction from forum members in general. Starting a troll request never gets you very far.
