Boot animation hack - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm not sure if anyone has been able to hack the stock at&t boot animation yet.
I'm stock rooted but the boot animation.zip doesn't appear to be setup as other ROMs.
Also on a completely unrelated note, I'm having the hardest time getting air gestures to work. Do you guys happen to know what app controls the air gesture feature (just wanna make sure I didn't freeze it)? Also is smart scroll supposed to work in all apps or just the default email client and browser? Using Firefox and gmail and it doesn't seem to do jack.

You know what? On second though, I actually have no idea where the Android lockscreen is stored... Silly me. The HTC Lockscreen, however, is stored in /system/app/HtcLockscreen

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen
If its like the one from the Droid you could use lockbot pro

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/

Droid Eris Nexus One Screen Lock Patch (No Live Wallpapers)

For root users with recovery img only.
Save zip to sdcard, reboot into recovery, and flash the zip from sdcard.
Enjoy.
OR
If you comfortable with a linux shell, you can mount the system partition as rw, and delete the htclockscreen app from /system/app (if you even think about asking me for help, just use the patch and save us both some wasted time). However feel free to email/msg/call at home at 1am Unheard for help, since he wanted to point out the command line procedure.

applying wallpaper to the nexus lock screen
hey fantastic patch by the way! thanks so much for the hard work. i do prefer the nexus lock screen however is the transparency the only option? i tried to apply the wall via menu/wallpaper/lockscreen...says wallpaper applied etc but doesnt show when the device is locked. is this a limitation of the initial root? would it be advisable to go to v3 of the 2.1 root? again fantastic work much appreciated...
v0.3.0 is advisable, wont fix your problem. Will look into it after I have a break from the phone for a bit.
One other bug ive seen with the wallpaper is that it does not allow you to shut off or snooze your alarm so I had to restart or appkill to get it to shut off

Confirmed that 14 minutes ago, work wakeup in a long time.

By using that nandroid backup you made, right before trying it?
Didn't make one? Probably have to reflash.
Im good backup didnt work at first because Im guessing the phones power was low. Right after I posted had put my wifes phone on the pc to charge and the nandroid back up went through.
I'm probably in the minority that actually enjoys the lock screen more than live wallpapers, but this patch is great. Other than a few small visual issues, this is perfect. I hated the Sense lock screen. Great work jcase!
installed it and love it only issue i have with it would be the alarm wont snooze...will you be working on that or is this just something we would have to work around? other than that its a great extra
The issue is in the HTC Alarm, and Sense. Use another alarm clock.
Love it. Nice job.

what are some good alarm clock replacements out there that i might be able to use?
Dunno, when you find one tell me please.
Sent this to a buddy cuz he too scared to do the commands via adb and he is an idiot and got it to work. I stamp this, idiot proof.
Thanks for this. Saves me on gas having to do this for his phone.

thanks for this!
was a great addition to my theme
I love the Nexus lock screen it keeps me from pocket dialing. I wish I could set a lock screen background though.
I really like this lockscreen and it works great except if i put my phone into airplane mode. When it comes out of airplane mode, the lockscreen continues to say 'No Sim Card', display the 'emergency call' and no longer show the battery charge. Rebooting the phone fixes it. Perhaps the CDMA Nexus One lock screen will fix this problem.

Lockscreen Wallpaper - non transparent

Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.
I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.
I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk
i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.
Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:

Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.
AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.
Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others

[Q] CRT lock screen animation for Thrive?

Does anyone know how to flash the CRT animation to the Toshiba thrive? Love the way it looks on my Droid X think it would look equally great on the thrive. Thanks in advance for any help!
If you are rooted, you need it named bootanimation.zip and copy over the one in /system/media directory. Be sure to make a backup of the original file. If you are not rooted, you cannot change the boot animation. Or at least you need ClockWorkMod loaded to do so.
Let me clarify, not the boot animation but the animation when you press the power button to put it to sleep. Want to look like an old tv set shutting off. Also, thanks so much you for all your work and time on the thrive Dale!
Oh, sorry, I am not sure about adding an animation for that. Sorry about that.
Bump......
Im still looking for help with this. If anyone could assist I would be extremely greatful.
Have you seen it done on a honeycomb tablet? I don't think you can do that. Don't quote me though.

That's the closest thing but it's app enabled.

Boot animations [1080p]

180MB for a boot animation is a bit too much. I've seen other HD animations at a fraction of that size.

Well its a mix of the high quality and amount of images in the animations. There are some smaller ones I have put out myself that are posted here by two thirds the size. Its also easy to edit the zip and shorten the animations amount of images in the the three "part" folders inside the zip. I dont have any issues with not having enough space on my 16gb phone at all. This is still a work in progress, so keep posted for changes and updates.

Thank you. I have an other one I gotta finish that looks cool as well.
Excuse my ignorance, but here where is the original boot animation located in the system?? I understand how I am supposed to replace it, but I cannot find it in the system.
I tried using the usual boot animation management app instead and it seems to have worked for "My envisions of nexus", however it appears it gave me a boot loop, so best to avoid using boot animation managers on kitkat everyone.

Some do have a long cycle times before it allows your phone to start and could cause hang ups id imagine. If you could tell me which you are having issues with I will change them so that's not a issue as such. These are working drafts basically.

What animation are you thinking of using? You are welcome to link to my post to to share so far. I reworked My Envisioned nexus.
i would like to share The sparking orb, Rotating Xray skull, Real fire in slow motion, Blue circles and Purple sparkles swirl. In a first time, i wish to put them in the good format to share them and in a future probably arranged few with a logo or other thing. Of course for those i will arranged i will share it and speak about them with you on this forum

Your personal view of nexus just took a long time but when I tried real fire it locked up at the end. By the way, you CAN package these as a zip.
Here is a zip of the default boot animation for people if they want to revert to stock and maybe didn't think to rename the original instead of deleting or overwriting it.
It would help others if in your OP you mention that the boot animation file is in /system/media and that they should remember to set permissions on the file to rw r r after they replace it as well.

I updated the Envisioned Nexus, its also only 10mb now. Try it and let me know what you think. P.S I will trim the fire animation a little or maybe by half thus doubling the speed.

Are you saying this is a flashable? The OP posted them as zip files. I tried just renaming this one and it just shows me the Google logo not the stock nexus logo animation.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I'm not saying his are flashable i am saying he could make them flashable if he wants to. The one I posted is flashable and is only the stock one if you want to go back to it
