[Q] How to restore Stock Boot Animation? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the international i9500 and it's rooted but i have my carrier branded rom and i wanna restore the boot animation and shutdown animation to stock.
i tried to run TrulyClean Script and it did the job but it also removed some other stuff that i need so what file do i need to remove from the system to get back to the stock samsung boot animation?

thanks but i think there's an easier way ro achive it and i'll explain why:
in the trulyclean's zip file there wasn't any of these files which means that the script executes a command that does the job .
do you know how the trulyclean script does that?

I had a look at the script, it looks like it deletes the entire folder:
Code:
delete_recursive("/system/media/video");
So, it should have left you with no boot animation rather than stock.

no, after i used the script it got me back to the stock boot animation so do you think if ill delete this folder it will restore it?
is it worth a shot?

Just reflash the stock rom you need with (Mobile) Odin and reroot. You will not loose any data this way

what tool I should use? I tried htc kitchen from xda (it should work on gt540), but I can not even boot my phone...
reflash my rom for example then adb pull whatever you want to edit
then put in zip with an update script and apply in recovery
then create a backup in recovery and that system img and boot img is what you can upload for other people to install
dont give the data img because its personal

S5830DDKQ6 2.3.4 - Deodex + Root + Overscroll glow + CRT + Battery Mod + BLN Patch

Standard disclaimer applies for below mods, do it at your own risk. Always backup before you modify anything.
Deodex + Root:
Read the instructions carefully! Can only be flashed through CWM recovery
First, make sure you have CWM recovery installed. Then follow this steps carefully:
1.Download the file below and place it in the root of the SD card
2.Boot into recovery mode (CWM)
3.Wipe cache and dalvik cache (CWM)
4.Mount system before installation.
5.Navigate with the volume button, then choose install zip from sdcard
6.Choose zip from sdcard
7.Select the zip file you've downloaded and click yes
8.Wait till the installation complete then reboot your phone.
Note: First boot may take little longer than normal boot, hence please wait.
Download:
OS 2.3.4 S5830DDKQ6_Deodex_full @ 4shared.com (73 MB)
Overscroll Glow + Battery Mod + CRT Animation:
Note: If you have SAMSUNG (stock) bootanimation, then please use any custom boot animations before you install below mods. (Have look @ my signature for boot animations). Because this mod will erase SAMSUNG boot animation.
If you are using CF-ROOT, then you don't need to worry as CF-root already has custom boot animation.
1. Download attached file and unzip it
2. Use root explorer or similar app to move downloaded files to system/framework
3. Set permissions for both files appropriately to rw-r--r-- (644)
4. Reboot
Note: Boot may take little longer, don't panic just sit and relax.
Enable CRT Animation:
After completing above process, please follow these steps to enable CRT animation.
1. Long press build.prop from /system folder and open in text editor.
2. Modify this line
'debug.sf.hw=1' by adding # in front of debug, now it should look like mentioned below
'#debug.sf.hw=1'
3. Save and exit by pressing right soft key (this will backup your original build prop as build.prop.bak)
4. Reboot device
5. After reboot go to settings -> display -> animations and choose some or all animations.
Backlight Notification patch:
What is BackLightNotification?
The BackLightNotification mod converts the touchkey backlights into a notification led for sms, touchwiz email, gmail, gtalk and any other app which supports BLN.
For Calendar: Download "Calendar notifier" app from market
For Calls: Download "BLN control - Pro" app from market
1. Download attached file (Flash DDKQ6-services.zip)
2. Clear cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash through CWM
4. Reboot
Enjoy...!!!
Thanks to dhiru 1602 for overscroll glow source
Thanks to seilent for the overscroll glow tutorial
Thanks to ketut and neldar for the BLN

Basically this will change your system apps and framework from odex to deodex, so its better to take backup first.

there is much of a unallocated space about even the general things in people..
and here by asking this and getting such replies they might have felt something but there is still unallocated space..i mean that particular question is still unanswered..!!

well about this deodex its not working for me...
when i was on ddkq6 last week i flashed this update.. cleared dalvik and cache before...
installation do not show any difference but as i see there are no changes in system/app..
i believe .odex files should get removed or i have to remove them manually or flash is not working only ?

Did you mount your system before flashing this update? If you don't, then it will not work.
CRT animation, 5% Battery Mod and overscroll glow for DDKQ6 has been added to first post..

Is it? I haven't tried that personally. Let me look around for some other thread for BA, If not I'll write one.. Moreover for CRT animation you just need to add # in build.prop

Tried the tutorial all things worked good except the Boot Animation,
the instructions given in link are resulting into boot loop and unable to restore boot animation through Rom toolbox software

Thanks for the feedback. I have removed boot animation thread and I suggest all other users to have custom bootanimation before installing this mod.
Currently i dont think any boot animation will work on kq5. aint know about applying it on a rom with cf-root. diliban can u make a tutorial for that. and dude i think we should start a noobs guide for kq5 and kq6.

Boot Image?

Hello all I am still running the stock ROM except rooted with G2 Xposed installed. However I hate having the stock boot image on the ROM does anyone know where I can get a different boot image? Also how would I go about loading the boot image? I know in /system/media there is "bootanimation.zip" could I just get a boot zip file and replace or would I actually have to flash the boot?

I found a tool here and extracted the image via linux reader. Replaced the build.prop file and when I restarted my phone it went completely blank.
The google logo also did not show. I think I bricked it

Did you set the correct permissions (rw-r--r--)? Maybe this is the problem.
If your phone doesn't boot, restore a nandroid backup or flash a ROM

No I did not set those permissions. Just replaced the build.prop file. I don't know what nandroid backup is but I have TWRP installed.

If you have a ROM in sdcard flash it, if you haven't you have to flash a ROM with adb sideload or a factory image with fastboot (the factory image will erase your data!)

Alright, quick update:
I used adb sideload to flash the rom from my above post. Worked like a charm, and I have Kitkat running with root. Also, no data was lost.
First thing I am gonna do now is backup my build.prop and data
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

Great!
I made the same mistake before, when I hide the softkeys
just for reference, you could have fixed it easily, just by using TWRP's File manager:
1. Mount System
2. Replace with the original Build.prop inside the system directory
3. Click the file -> Change file permissions chmod 775

stuck in bootloop after change bootanimation! can recovry fix it?

where can i delete the faulty file through file manager in twrp? i dont wanna flash a bunch of images or anything can someone PLZ tell me an easier way to get rid of the bootanimation?
can i flash any flashable zip bootanimation? would that replace the current one n fix it?
Did you make a backup of the original bootanimation? If so use Terminal in TWRP to restore it, or try using adb shell command to fix it. That happened to me once on an older phone and that's how I fixed it.
i have a working bootanimation.zip file on my PC, i can flash it via adb?
and no i did not make a backup

You can try adb push bootanimation.zip > /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I'm using benzo and i think my permissions are wrong maybe, is it 644 or 755? I want the marvel theme of changing superheroes but i just can't get it to work why does a bootanimation get stuck? Is it the numbering of the images?

You can try fixing the permissions via TWRP recovery.
Another thing that might help, is to dirty flash the ROM again, over the current installation, without wiping anything.

Next time, please only post your question in one place, double posting isn't allowed.
Can't he just remove the boot animation and not transfer one over? I believe the phone will boot but a stock "Android" letter boot animation will load and then the phone will boot where he can install a new boot animation (or maybe put back the old boot animation)
