[MOD] boot animations for note ii - UPDATED

Use rom toolbox to install or rename to bootanimation.zip and place in system/media using root explorer

Note rom toolbox defaults to data/local
This directory will work too but if u cwm flash another boot ani later, it will not take, data/local has priority, so change it in rom toolbox or pull the bootanimation out of the cwm zip [zip within a zip]

You must also
Navigate to system/media
Delete or rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg
Navigate to system/bin
Delete or rename samsungani
Rename bootanimation to samsungani

Update, the previous segment dose not need to be done in most if not all roms for this device now.

Update, That also means that the following will not restore stock boot animation if that is the case.

Now if you want to revert back to stock
Rename samsungani to bootanimation
Take _bk off the ends of the three other files.
If you deleated the files see the links at the bottem of the post.

To add stock shutdown to a rom rename bootsamsung.qmg to shutdown.qmg and place in system/media/video

You may haft to make the folder called video

IMPORTANT NOTE: TO DO BOOT ANIMATION MODS NO CHANGE OF PERMISSIONS IS NECESARY

If I helped you find a boot animation u like, please hit that thanks button


Update, spinning mario not working.

Further note, you can resize any png img boot ani using desc
If the imgs r jpeg you must convert them to ping then edit the desc, or resize every img if that did not work.
Imgs with transparancys MUST BE RESIZED
Change first two values in desc to 720 1280
Zip part0 and other parts n desc.txt to root of zip, using winrar and make sure its a .zip and your just storing, no compression
DO NOT ZIP THE PARENT DIRECTORY
THAT IS EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT
ONLY ZIP THE FOLDERS PART0 ECT AND DESC.TXT TO THE ROOT OF THE ZIP

Files to revert to stock

These two files go in system/media
Bootsamsung.qmg.qmg
http://db.tt/Y0q8nWft
Bootsamsungloop.qmg
http://db.tt/SWW8IrKP
These two files go in system/bin
Bootanimation

Well, I'm no graphics design artist, but I did make a new boot animation for my Note II. Not sure how to export it as a gif, but here's the video that it's from.

It'll definately put you into a good mood every time you restart your phone! :laugh:

PS: Created in Boot Animation Factory, flashed via Rom Toolbox.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

ok, make a boot ani from gif 101
get gif cutter.exe for windows
open giff and cut.
now get photoshop and resize each img to 720x1280 and save as a png
now put all that in folder called part0
now pull a desc.txt from another boot ani and repace the first two values with 720 and 1280
put all that in a folder called bootanimation [bootanimation/part0 &desc.txt]
now get winrar
now open bootanimation folder and select both desc.txt and part0
rightclick
add to archive
choose zip and store only
put that zip in system/media after following the op instructions for file renaming [if on saber kernel you do not need to rename, but perseous and bullet kernels you must rename]

reboot

as a caution before you replace bootanimation with an untested one, makr a backup [if the boot dosent load you must restore cuz it wont kick to your lock screen]

if you do all this and no luck. let me know and i will try, but you try forst and see if you get this to work.


as for led colors there are apps on this forum and in play store to solve this. happy hunting.

just search for "led color" or "led notifacation" in play store

First. Did u change the names or deleate the files in the op?
Boitanimation must be renamed samsungani in those directions but u can delet the rest
To disable sound for poweron/poweroff you need to look in system/media.
To disable shudown thats in media/video

Names are what they do

Now your boot

Put it on ur computer
Unzip it
Check to make sure the imgs are 720x1280, if they are not you MUST change them to this.
Then change the first two values in the desc txt to 720 1280
Then select the part folder and desc.txt and right click and add to archive [I use winrar.
Then at that screen choose zip, choose store only under compression.

[Note png files that have no transparancys you may he able to just change the desc file size notes, key word may; jpg you MUST RESIZE EVERY IMG]

Now drop that into system/media

Go check data/local

Make sure theres not a boot ani their [or u can use this location too, it will work]

And presto your boot animation should work

If u do all of this and still have problems, pm me. Because these are the steps I take for all my boot animations and mine 99% work on various devices [8bit mario gave me some trouble <transparancys>]

I hope this clears up some problems for you do it yourselfer boot ani lovers

Ohh side note

Gif splitter

Reaize imgs n save as jpeg or png
Write a desc.txt or copy n mod one and presto, a boot animation for you
