CM6 has boot audio disabled
To add it involves making files and editing a system file. Its not recommended for noobies. But if you want, I can post the instructions =P

No don't want to try that lol. What about instructions for non cm6 roms

For other roms it's as easy as renaming your mp3 to the same name as the existing mp3...

ok where do you find the animation and how do you explore the file to see the mp3

[Q] Request R2d2 Bootanimation

Hi.
I don't know if anybody has done it already (If someone has, I can't find it) but has anybody been able to make that bootanimation for the EVO?
Thank you in advance
someone has. there is a thread circulating this forum. I had used it but didn't like it too much

Me too I want the original not the one that they cut

I had it for awhile and thought it was pretty dumb, along with the SW LWPs. They could have done a lot better all the way around.

are you talking about the Droid 2 R2D2 Boot animation? If so, here is it. Flash through recovery: http://www.multiupload.com/PGD0EZP32C
Awesome work , wouldn't happen to have the ringtones too would you
never mind saw they are included
I did find some posts regarding this bootanimation, but they were either for the droid or for the hero. I've downloaded the one 2 posts above but I only get a black screen. Any ideas?

you need to use the bootanimation.zip in the system/media/ within the .zip itself
Here is the Boot Animation and a sound I put together. I put it all in the
system/media/ using push method.
Enjoy!!!!
I will also post the apk live wallpapers and the wallpapers for the R2D2 droid also when i can pull them off my phone.
Here are the Live Wallpapers most of them you have to shake to activate them.

[Q] Capture audio and make previews for boot animations

What is a good program for capturing audio from video clips? I've made a few boot animations and want to add the audio from the original clips. Also how do I make a preview of them to post up? I guess I could throw them up on youtube. Where else could I post them at?
Thanks

I don't know how to extract audio but as far as making your bootanimation preview compile a second copy of your images into a .gif image. I'm assuming and hopefully you know how to do that?

What os are you using? If your on PC then just use jasc Animation Pro 3. Ill have to look at Linux and iOS for compatible programs if your not. As far as the audio extraction I've done it before but its been awhile and I don't remember how I did it. Maybe Audacity? I think that might be it.

International s3 boot and shutdown animation

This is not my work. Mopral in the international s3 forum pulled this from his phone and told me what to do and it works.
Original forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729184
I would back up ur original files instead of over writing them.
Boot files go to /system/media
Shutdown file goes to /system/media/video/shutdown
Make sure to set proper permission. If u don't kno them check the original files

Here is the power on sound from the international s3 and a custom power off sound that maches the power on sound all provided by chadster214. Check bottom of post.
thanks

You accidentally a few words.
Shutdown file actually goes in /system/media/video/shutdown
Also, I got the same sounds when I swapped in the international versions. Do they both have the same sound or is the sound located in a different file in a different place?
I believe they are the same sounds. Thanks for the tip I've changed the op

I would like to remove the sound from the startup and shutdown animations, but some quick googling around didn't turn up any way to edit .qmg files.
Do you happen to know how to edit them or have mute versions of the .qmg files?
what about the sounds???
I don't kno how to modify the sounds I was assisted in doing this mod.

Animation Sounds
I manage to extract the sounds off of the international SGSIII ROM. I noticed samsung only place a poweron sound so I made a poweroff sound to match with it. simply extract the files into /system/media/audio/ui.
I hope you guys like the poweroff sound .
feel free to add this on the OP.

You cannot edit .qmg files, only samsung has the program to do that.
You can however delete those files, so you dont have to listen to the sounds.
You can also replace the qmg files with other .qmg files from different devices. such as the international boot animation, instead of the sprint one.
once a kernel is developed, that has init d support, and custom boot animation support, we can add any boot animation.zip or boot animation.sanim to the system/media files, and system/media/video/shutdown for the shutdown animation, which is shutdown.zip typically.
this is the same with any samsung device.
Thanks! Boot and Shutdown animations works flawlessly on AT&T SGH-i747 Galaxy S3.
anyway this could be made into a bootanimation.zip

Unfortunately no. But if u delete the custom boot animation (boot animation.zip) then the stock will play. The international is considered stock. Anything ending .qmg is "stock".

What does the boot animation look like. is it just Samsung logo that has a blue halo? That's all I get. Even deleted the stock ones.

Bootanimations and Shutdownanimations [Updated - 1/4/2013]

BOOTANIMATIONS:
Stock JellyBean
Stock Sprint
Stock LG
Stock ICS
Nexus 7
Pac-Man
R2-D2
SHUTDOWNANIMATIONS:
Stock LG
Stock Sprint
DO NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY!
Make sure to have a file explorer installed to do these instructions, such as Root Explorer or (What I use) Root Browser Lite.
Steps :
1. Download the ZIP
2. rename it to "bootanimation.zip" or "shutdownanimation.zip"
3. push it into your /system/media
4. set permission -rw-r-r- a.k.a 644
5. reboot
6. PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON
7. ????
8. PROFIT!!!!!
Make sure you delete the old ones, "bootanimation.zip", "bootanimation_sprint.zip" and bootanimation_boost.zip or shutdownanimation.zip and shutdownanimation_sprint.zip"
Please let me know if these do not work or the link ever gets broken or anything like that.
I do not take credit for making any of these, I have found them throughout the internet and edited them to work with this phone, such as resizing the image. If any of them are yours then please let me know!
Mega, you seem to always be the first person to "thanks" my OP when I post anything. Haha.
Also, Almost done uploading. Decided to get an account at Android File Host, was just waiting to get approved for Dev. I am trying to take the stock Jelly Bean bootanimation and reverse it for a shutdown animation.
Thank you for your work.
Does everyone know, though, that the boot animation applications from the play store work as long as you adjust the proper settings inside the app?

No, has to be done by the directions.
Updated OP and added 4 more bootanimations.
Theoretically couldn't you do this for any file that's supposed to be a bootanimation?
For instance, I have a GS3 as well so I frequent those forums and have a couple bootanimations for that phone. I could just install them on the OG the same way you explained in your OP. Do you think there would be any problems that would cause a brick/bootloop issue because of the different dimensions of the screens?
Changing the Sound - Awkward Sounds
Heya,
This worked perfectly the above method by Epic. However now when I boot up I get the awesome nexus boot logo but still the same awkward sprint boot sound. With a look digging I discovered that the boot up or as in the phone "PoweOn_Sprint.ogg" and the bootoff "PowerOff_Sprint.ogg" all located in the same media folder "/system/media/audio/ui/" So now the question is lets start picking boot sounds (on/off) maybe the nexus 4 will be a good start.
Thank you in advance,
TheAceX
What I would do is just search up android boot animations and so far anyone I likes has work. As for the sounds, you can make the boot sound literally any song or clip you want, my power on is the ps1 boot sound which is awesome. You just have to convert the sound into .ogg with an audio converter program, rename it PowerOff_Sprint or PowerOn_Sprint respectively and make sure its capitalized exactly that way, then put it in the Ui directory.
I was gonna post a how to but no one showed interest lol

Not a problem. Thanks man!
You could always try using something like THIS to convert any audio files.
I haven't tried this service so I can't vouch for it, but I've used ones like it before.
Then you install it just like the bootanimations (naming them appropriately and putting them in the proper folder).

You shouldn't (it is really unlikely) have any issues.
They may look a little stretched or won't fill the screen.
If the animation is somehow broken, Android doesn't need it to boot.
I might already know the answer, but can I add this to the rom your testing? and tell which one you would like me to try.

[Request] Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time) Boot Animation

I was wondering if any dev dedicated to the boot animation section of development could possibly make a boot animation for LoZ: Ocarina of Time? Possibly the master sword scene with it starting as he walks to the pedestal as a kid and draws the sword then flashing ahead where he is an adult?

This sounds really bad ass!

Yes I agree,I would totally want this, is not hard to make... you just make a boot animation.zip and label the images accordingly, in order...
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Easiest way to accomplish this is to find a video of the scene u want. Download a program that converts video files into image files. I have found such program when I was making a dreamcast and Sonic bootanimation. Then number images and folders accordingly. Then zip. Just search it its very easy once u understand it.
*bump* did you manage to get this or make it?
Havent made it but have a scene from smash bros brawl
