Soon after I rooted my phone on launch day, I manually disabled the boot sound (unfortunately, I don't remember which method). Now, regardless of which ROM I flash, I NEVER have a boot sound. Can someone help me out and let me know how I can about troubleshooting this further?
I've tried the obvious, by checking if the ROM I'm flashing has one (it does), and looking through Root Explorer to add a mp3 in various places, but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something very simple here?
you have to have a music file with the same name and format in the same location as in stock.
Same ROM's have different directory's for boot sound and animations. Check next two..
system/customize/resource (stock rom)
system/media (fresh & calkulin rom)
Edit: Btw I have try it, and does replace animation on Calkulin but still no sound... Which ROM are you using?

This may be my issue. I'm using CM7 (DESTROYED - link to forum below) so there is no system/customize directory. Can I just create it and put something in there? Does it need to be named specifically? android_boot.mp3???

See above - CM7 - Destroyed. I don't have an issue with the animations at all, just the boot sounds.
Stock file is called SPC_animation_final.mp3 but check witch someone who have same rom like you.

NO. You cant do that, must be specific (based on rom)
Tried to create system/customize/resource directory manually, copied the mp3 from system/media that came with the ROM and pasted into that new directory, renamed it android_audio.mp3 with no avail. Still no boot sound.
Tried renaming that to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and same result. Anything else I can try?
Send a PM to person who made that ROM...

Will do - but realize this occurs regardless of which ROM I use. It's not ROM specific.
Thanks for the help all!
Try Fresh ROM, you should have sound saying "freshhh"
Sorry, I was thinking with Sense on my mind.

Really....wow. Was definitely not aware of that! I'll throw Fresh on there again tonight and see what I get. Maybe I've just had AOSP ROMS on there ever since. I thought I for sure tried out a few Sense, but maybe not.
Again - thanks to everyone. I didn't expect to get this much response. Really helps.

Yea, like they said, only sense roms have sound enable, no aosp, CM7 for example, support boot sounds.

Sure enough! Flashed Fresh and got boot sound. I could have sworn I had a Sense ROM in there somewhere in the past 6-9 months, but maybe not. Thanks again guys.

got a stock evo 2.1 rooted it.. with clockwork installed custom rom and kernel updated to 2.2 everything is okay used romanger to go back between clock work and arom... but still cant get the adb commands to work... actuall just trying to push a spc mp3 file tried replacing with root explorer no go
One thing a lot of us had trouble with going from 2.1 to 2.2 was the su app didn't like being bundled with a rom. Uninstall your su app and install the one from the market.
Let us know if this fixes it.

What is that file used for?
Where is it in the system?
Is that the audio that plays during the boot animation?
yes

yes it does im assuming the stock recovery uses the red exclamation... now i have the yellow one i tried to remount and i get an error.....
so why must we adb on the 2.2 when the 2.1 all you needed was root explorer? to change boot animation and sound.....
The boot animation in 2.2 is a single .zip file. Boot animations are something I haven't gotten into much (on the EVO) so I'm not sure how it was on 2.1 but I'd guess it was more like the Hero where it was a .gif or two and a sound file.
When the boot animation is packaged in a single .zip file you can't just swap out parts of it. You'd have to unzip it, change what you want, and make sure the xml (if there's on in there) is adjusted accordingly. If you swapped the sound file for one that was of the same name you'd probably be fine to rezip and drop the whole zip back in there.
This is pure speculation though. I may be totally wrong. If I were gonna try to customize my boot though that's where I would start.

You can use pushboot found in the development section to change the sound and/or the bootanimation.

Cool, dl'ing virus rom now so I can see exactly what you're working with.
Are we sure you actually do have su permissions and it was just an issue with this boot animation package?
Can you mount your /system as R/W in root explorer?

Same goes for 2.2. Just swap out the files in /system/customize/resource/ I've also seen them in /system/media/ depending on which rom you're using.

How do I go about changing my boot animation for rooted OTA update. I've tried changing the boot animation.zip in /data/local.
If anyone could boint me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
have you tried pasting the bootanimation zip inside system/media.
P.s. you will see a folder named audio, DONT touch it
Tried the one in media with no success. :/
Try /data/animations ?

What's the exact name of the Rom your using might help find the right spot for it. Who built it (virus,myn,mik,ect....) every bit of info helps.

From his first post it is HTC's 4.22.651.? OTA update and it seems to have been moved entirely as I tried while I was playing around with it to change the boot animation and it would not work for me either

i just ripped that rom(supersonic_4.22.651.2_deodexed) apart and i found the bootanimation in system\customize\resource named SPC_bootanimation.zip

Sorry thought you were on 3.7, my bad. I believe he may be correct in the location, but also try
data/syscustomize/resource/
and do make sure you name it correctly with the underscore _ and not the . with lower case spc_bootanimation.zip . If you get the sound to work let me know, been trying for some time. Word is out that it needs to be named version11samelength.mp3 but I have had no success with either lower or upper case. But man do I have a sweet ani...eh D? lol

That's not there for me. Also, as stated I'm using the supersonic stock rom.
Nevermind there was a file there named that. Was just hidden for some reason. Just wrote over it with my custom bootanimation.zip and it worked. Thanks a bunch.

quick and dirty: is there a way to play a sound on boot?
I tried to place android_audio.mp3 file in /data/local but still no sound is being plaied.
Any clue?
Thx
Good question
It's a question I've been asking myself this very day.
Since there's no default sound, no way to know where to put the file or how to name it.
Any ideas?
It should be somewhere around system/media but no clue.

It is not enabled in the source code, no.
BAMF Paradigm has boot sound, however.
I've been wondering about the same thing for awhile now but could never find any information on it. I'm glad their working on a kernal to allow it. I started making a boot animation assuming sound was set.
I remember the newer MIUI builds having a sound on boot. Cool the first couple times, annoying after that.

I suppose we could flash the ROM and see where the sound file is located... That would be an option but i assume the sound file is packaged in the same .zip file as the animation itself...

Should be system/media/audio/ui and be named PowerOn.ogg. I'm not on that rom, but that's how most are.
well, I found the directory you told me to go to, placed the file made sure the name was PowerOn.ogg, tested to make sure the file actually plays, it does rebooted, no dice went back to the directory to make sure the file was still there, it was, also tried poweron.ogg just for kicks, still nothing, any other suggestions?

I have a viper one running so I think it's been deleted but I think there's supposed to be a file in System/media you could delete. Would probably require root.
Might be easier to put a custom rom on.

I just got this phone not even two days ago. I've rooted it but I can't find it in /system/media/audio/ui. I'll install a custom ROM once I'm more comfortable with HTC Sense (which has obviously improved since the days of the Doubleshot).
