Running HaXspresso on my wife's MT3GS -- awesome ROM, and she really loves it!
...EXCEPT for the sound that goes with the boot animation.
I've tried installing different boot animation zip files into /system/media but it looks like this ROM uses some other location for the boot animation.
So I'm wondering if anybody has ideas on how I can disable that boot sound?

its under system/customize/resource/ its called TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 if you have S-OFF you can just delete it using root explorer or some app like that, if not you can do this:
go into recovery, plug your usb cable and using adb type adb remount first, adb shell and then type cd system/customize/resource after that type rm TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 (with the capitals and all, otherwise it wont delete it) and then reboot, it should be gone
I dont know if there is any easier way to do it (u can delete the file from the rom zip file, wipe and reflash it but you would have to do a backup of the apps and all that so xD) if anyone know an easier way please share it
Cool!
I just didn't know where the file was located to delete it.
I ended up running ADB shell in recovery, but it worked out just fine. No more boot sound to annoy my wife! Yay!
This is the same implementation as the g2 boot sound enabler with a few improvements.
i'm not responsible if you blah blah blah. don't be stupid, and don't flash things to your phone without realizing the possible risk. i haven't bricked a phone yet and don't plan on it.

This enables custom boot sounds. After flashing and rebooting you should be greeted with the all to famous "DROID" bootsound.
you will also have some new useful commands in terminal:
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new bootsound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new boot animation
bootsoundoff - turns boot sound off
bootsoundon - turns boot sound back on
Just files named accordingly on your sdcard's root i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.
Rom developers - feel free to include this in your builds if you so desire, please make sure credit is given accordingly to spiicytuna, mrdaviso, and myself.
if you're running a sense rom there's a totally different way of doing it so, should you be running sense... don't flash. or flash at your own risk, i can't guarantee the outcome.
untested... let me know if things go smoothly, the same process works for the evo g2 etc.. so shouldnt be an issue. make sure your media volume is up, some report if it's muted you wont hear it. (not sure about this, i guess it would be easy to test...)
Thanks this worked GREAT.
thanks worked great on cm7 rc2! so basically i can rename any sound file i want then overwrite the original? or does it have to be done through terminal? sorry for the ?? i am just learning
thanks again!
Terminal isn't required, but the sound you need to replace resides in /system/media so a file explorer with root access would be necessary.
not working?
i have tried this through root explorer and terminal. the outcome is correct in terminal... says that the new boot sound is there. I also was sure to check the volume. and still nothing? please help?
ya doesnt work on cm7 rc4 either
worked great for me ... except that the boot sound plays regardless of whether I have the volume down / muted / etc. before I reboot.
i'm on royalginger v1.5 which is based on cm7 nightly #31

why didn't you just IM me? el oh el
cos in my researching on the boards and also the other test builds I made - #31 was the most stable overall.
Ya can't seem to get it to work. The script seem to work fine but i think im applying the Audio file wrong can someone post an example? System/media. Running cm rc4
guys here is a manual method of unlocking boot audio...I got this from an older thread that was deleted for some odd reason..
anyway I did not make this script and I do not intend to take credit, but here is a manual way if all else fails.
1. download and rename the bootsnd.txt to bootsnd.sh and NOT bootsnd.sh.sh
2. place the file in the root of your sd card
3. use root explorer to set /system to r/w
4. open terminal type: su and hit enter to gain root priv,
5. type "cd /sdcard" with out the quotes to mount the sdcard root
6. type "sh bootsnd.sh" with out quotes and hit enter wait about 10 seconds then close terminal NOTE* YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY OUTPUT or confirmation! hit enter ONLY once unless you want to eat BOOTLOOPS for breakfast
7. with root explorer push android_audio.mp3 to /system/media
8. reboot and BOOM!
this does NOT work on sense roms, only works with AOSP (any cm builds) as far as I have tested.
I have included my own boot audio its a god of war 3 overture theme portion
now that is my work as I had to chop it up
unzip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 first before pushing it
Alright so I tried getting a custom boot animation onto my Evo, and I don't really know if I should pay for Root Explorer just to put boot animations on my phone so I decided to try it through adb. However, when I was going through the steps and I reboot into recovery mode, I'm in ClockwordMod, so it doesn't recognize it on my computer correctly. Anyone know how to fix this without unflashing ClockworkMod?

Some custom boot animations are flashable in recovery, and you could just flash the zip in recovery, and it should work fine in clockwork, unless the scripting isn't right (i forget if it's amend or edify, but one doesn't work with clockwork). I usually use bootanimations that are NOT flashable. Just the bootanimation.zip. If you are on sense, you want that bootanimation.zip to be in the /system/customize/resource folder. if doing adb, you would simply do:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
If you are on an AOSP rom, it would be:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
You could also use ES file explorer, and enable root mode (it's free) if you don't want to buy Root Explorer (which is totally worth it IMO), . Drop the bootanimation.zip in the respective folder, set the permissions, and reboot.
It should'nt matter what recovery you're on, unless you're trying to use a flashable zip, that you can't flash with clockwork recovery, due to incorrect scripting. If that's the case, you should be able to open up the flashable zip, and extract the bootanimation.zip. At that point, you couse use one of my methods above to install it.
Thanks for all the info buddy, it worked like a dream! I bookmarked this page for future reference

You're welcome! Glad it worked for you. Enjoy your new bootanimations.
I have tried flashing damm near every Animated Boot Screen i have made flashable from XDA and none wanna work..
what am i suppose to do to get a diff boot animation screen on this device??
Adb:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
Root explorer:
enable r/w mode
move the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder
I just got mine to work, only took a minute to do. If you go to root explorer do he following.
1. find the file in system/customize/resources named bootanimation.zip (it may have something else in front of it. Mine was spc_bootanimation.zip)
2. click at the top where is says r/w
3. find the boot animation you want to find and long press and choose mve
4. put it in the file system/customize/resources and paste it there
5. longress and change the permissions to match the origial one
6. change the name of the old one (i put a one at the end of bootanimation)
7. change the nam of the new anmation to what the original was
8. change back to r/o same way you changed to r/w
9. reboot nd enjoy.

By the way, /system/customize/resource is for sense, aosp is /system/media.
Sorry I didn't specify, I thought that cm roms were all sense. Thanks for the info roxxorz, good to know if I ever go back to an aosp.

Just for future reference, if you ever say 'I thought CM was sense' someone of ignorance spots it, they'll flame you horribly.
But yea, CM = AOSP = No sense. So you have to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder,
Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.
Hey JSmurfy, if you want a custom splash page and cant get it in adb I have the file you would need to flash it as well. I finally got mine changed using it since i can't us adb to push it to the phone. Just let me know.

Well easy to get it confused because there are 'senseless' roms, which is htc sense removed, so it LOOKS like AOSP, with the vanilla [CM style lock screen]. You just have to make sure what the rom says in the features, ect.
If you can't/not good with adb, you can use root explorer [purchase or search through google] to move it to the correct folder.
Thats what I did, using root explorer and it works great. With adb I get it to find my phone but when I try to push something to it, it starts to go and then fails says no remote access or something like that. With some research everything I found saysit's because myhboot is 2.10 and with that hboot you can't flash but since my buil is the 40000 block build I cant downgrade my hboot so had to find a work around.

You can use adb with hboot 2.10, I do so all the time. Just when using adb, be sure to always enter in adb remount before doing anything. It would look like this:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
And you'd be done.
OMG where have you been. I have been searching for 3 freaking days and everyone says you cant with 2.10. You my just became my new bestfriend lmao.

ok.. final question.. do i have to move can i not just long press, copy, then paste.. i dont wanna move my file out of there.. for safe keeping.. cause i have all my folders in order and stuff
wooo hoo im convinced i have to be either the dumbest person on this site orrrrr im being over cautious.. when i went intothe system/media folder it said audio only.. no other file was in there just that folder which was a sub folder for alarms, notofications, ringtones, ui
am i missing somthing
One day, I made a uot theme for cm7 and instead of choosing cm7 for bootanimation, I chose sense. It worked. BUT when I flashed new themes with different bootanimations that I correctly chose cm7 for, it didn't work. It stayed on the sense one. Trying reflashing cm7 and then move files.with root explorer
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
ok if i wasnt confused before.. now i definitely am.. HUHHHH
Go to system/customize/resource and delete bootanimation.zip and whatever the audio file is.. if there is one. Then try to flash your bootanimation
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Christ...
OK, look, for CyanogenMod-based ROMs, just put the bootanimation.zip in /data/local
No screwing around with /system, or anything. Plus, this way, you'll keep your boot animation even if you upgrade the ROM, like from 7.0.3.1 to 7.1.0.
So when it's all said and done, the ZIP file should be
Code:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
Enjoy.
Hey guys,
I have done something stupid.
The phone.
GSM Galaxy Nexus - Android 4.0.2 (ICL53F)
Rooted. otherwise stock.
Current status - will not boot android. Will load fastboot/recovery
I was trying to change the bootanimation.
Could not do it with adb push.
So i tried by copying the .zip file to the phone.
Opened up file File expert (unsure how many use this) clicked on "internal Memory" and tried to mount for read/write.
Copied bootanimation.zip from sd card to /system/media would not paste.
Tried again. Did not paste but it did delete the stock bootanimation.zip file.
Unsure what i clicked but when i tried to open /system/media it try to "execute" it, stated that it could not find a program to do so.
Closed program.
Phone started to come up with differnt apps stating that they have stopped working.
turned off phone, reboot.
Will not load boot animation, just loads to recovery!
I think I will have to flash the stock rom to solve this.
Any help would be great.

If this was my phone I'd find a nice rom, stock or not, and install it. I'd follow the dev's installation instructions to a "T".

I've just flashed the stock image, luck i remembered that i did an adb back up not long ago. so just restoring that.
Than to root and flash cwm and start again. this time i'll be careful
