[Q] Lockscreen images in framework-res.apk - Omni Q&A

Hi All,
I've changed Lockscreen handle image ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png from res\drawable-xxhdpi in framework-res.apk but after flashing it I still see the old image. Is this image taken from some other place?
Attached is the image I'm talking about, just FYI.
Thanks...

I will answer the question myself. The image I was looking for was in system\priv-app\keyguard.apk and it was res\drawable-xhdpi\ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png

[Q] Bootanimation zip method

Hey i saw one cool bootanimation on the internet but it was of size 640*480
i resized the images to 320*480 (resolution of x8 )
And then i replaced it with the original files and zipped them normally..
It did not work.. no bootanimation on the screen after the kernel logo
Was there another method to zip it? do i have to zip align it?
Happened to me too. Apparently only resizing doesn't work. Did you apply the changes in the desc.txt file?

[Q] Bootanimations too small....Help? (crossposted from /r/nexus7/)

SO yeah. I find bootanimations out there on the net, and while they work, they are too small. Someone somewhere said it's as simple as extracting the images from the zip, and resizing them, and changing the numbers in the text file.
However, that didn't work. Instead it got me stuck in a bootloop, until i found a flashable bootanimation (from recovery)
So there's two questions here.
1) Can anyone help me with resizing bootanims?
2) Can anyone help me with finding/making FLASHABLE bootanims?

[Q] Extract Background Image of APK File

I am trying to extract a background image from a GO SMS Theme and customize it. I looked all through the res folder of the APK and the image that was used as the background that I want was nowhere to be found. Anyone have an idea of where the image could be located?

Custom Boot Animation not working

Hey, first of all. I have root and TWRP installed.
Tried to make an custom boot animation (converted from .gif to .zip,containing 19 frames.) moved it to system/media and replaced it with the custom animation, renamed the custom animation to bootanimation.zip and changed the stock animation to bootanimation.zip1, rebooted and ots still the same. I know i am doing slmething wrong, but what?
Thanks in advance
If you're using a stock ROM, it doesn't support boot animation zips.
As to your zip, the files cannot be compressed, only stored. The text file that controls the settings cannot be edited using Windows notepad.

Converted the gif via Boot Animation(s) app. So i need to install a custom rom like CyanogenMod?
I forgot to mention the individual frames of the boot animation also must either be in .jpg or .png format. An AOSP ROM is required to use the bootanimation, unless you want to play around with Samsung's boot animation creator.

Going to try Boot animation factory (since boot animation creator is outdated) also, my pics are in .jpg

When compressing the images use the "store" option.
Also, make sure the zip is structure correctly.
When opening the zip you should have part0, part1 and desc.txt.
Those files should be in the root of the zip, not in other folders.

Hi!
I would like to create a boot animation that uses the basic J5 bootloop.
I would need you to convert the .qmg to .png and send to me. It's very simple with this app created by @xperiacle (Original thread). I would do it myself but the ROM used to convert the file must be either stock or stockish to work and I would lose so many settings, tweaks etc. by flashing stock and then back. As a reward I would of course hit the thanks button, send you the animation (if you please) and honor you as my savior for life! :angel: Also if you have an idea or reasonable preference(s) for the boot animation, I will make it happen.
Anyways here are the instructions stolen from the original thread (don't kill me xperiacle!):
"So just download the app(Qmg2Png), install, and pick an apk(Extract_this.apk) from sdcard and the app will extract the qmg resources and convert them to png format and saving them in the QMg2Png folder in the sdcard. The output folder retains the folder structure of the extracted apk."
Thank you in advance! Peace! :good:

If you want the stock boot animation then download the relevant firmware and pull it out of the system.img.
Please don't ask me to guide you how as there are plenty already out there.

It's in the .qmg format. There is no other way to extract it that I know of. Bootanimation.zip? No problem. Qmg? Pain in the ass.
Edit: just to be clear the stock rom uses an encoding/decoding method for qmg files that don't exist in custom roms nor is it used by any other than samsung phones. But anyhow it is not the end of the world for me if I don't get it extracted. Then I just focus on some other ideas for animations.

It's in the stock system image. All you need do is extract it.
@ashyx You just don't get it.. I have already extracted it from the system img. I need to convert the qmg to png files to edit it. Read my posts more carefully to understand.

OK let me ask you this?
What is preventing yourself from making a backup of your device with twrp which literally takes minutes, install the rom you require, do what you need and then simply restore?
@ashyx You are right but I don't want to flash any rom since when I do, I get this weird issue with my screen; I am unable to turn it off and it seems to be a matter of luck to get it working again. Thank you anyways! https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/screen-help-t3585090
