I had a question about boot animation sounds that I have been searching but have not really been able to find an answer to. I have read in forums for other devices that you can add a sound to the boot animation by adding audio_android.mp3 into the /system/media. I've grabbed a few boot audio files that I found on forums and tried to install them using that aforementioned method. Didn't work. So I put the .mp3 in /system/media/audio. Still didn't work.
I used flashable zips for CWM and this installed a shutdown audio file, but for some reason it didn't work for the bootup audio.
I've also tried using the Captivate SGS Tools app because it specifically says that if you install your audio file into the /sd/sgstools folder on your sd card and then tell the app to use that file, then you will have a working bootup sound. That didn't work either.
So I've read that the Galaxy S phones use Samsung's proprietary file system to create their boot anis. Independently installing the video on a capable kernel is easy enough. Getting the audio to work though has been tough for me, and I haven't seen a lot of info in forums about how to make this work. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Is PowerOn.wav the file I'm supposed to replace? like bootanimation.zip for video?
Yep,that should do it.

I found the file you were referring to, and played it using Adao file manager. It does actualliy play my custom sound that I installed using CWM flash. However, it doesn't play on bootup. Other ACS Syndicate Frozen Epic users can play a bootup animation sound right?
If I restore my ROM with CWM, will any changes I made to the /system be restored also? Or should I reinstall my ROM with Odin? Thank you for all your advice and help.
I think that Syndicate fully disabled boot sounds,but for some reason mine works and I'm using Frozen as a base... I don't know how to re-enable it,I don't know how they disabled it,so I would ask in that ROM thread.

I'm using it right now on the newest cm7 nightly, suits the rom just fine .
Find the correct .ogg file, using root explorer or any other file manager move the .ogg file to system/media/ui/ and overwrite the initial one. A reboot is needed for sounds to take effect.
U can also adb push "filename.ogg" system/media/ui
/system needs to be mounted 'rw'.
Good luck!

I hadn't done this on my G2 yet when I posted the youtube link, but I just did it and it took about 20-30 seconds to do it.
I've always found that SU File Manager was easier to do this, so people should try it out.
It overwrites the file, make sure you pressed the S in the top left corner. Then just reboot after you've done everything.
Also make sure that you rename the file and delete .zip at the end.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****
Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
will try thanks
said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav
MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

Ok I'm using Skyraider and my method of creating a boot animation was a little bit different then the link above....I had found another link on Android forums that explained how I could un-zip my existing bootscreen animation and modify the files....after doing this you simply re-zip ALL of the files using winzip with certain settings and then move the new zip file to the appropriate place in your file system dependent mainly on your Rom.....this way is a lot easier and instead of creation from scratch you will already have a base line template to work off....ill boot my computer here in a few minutes and post my boot animation and the link to that site.....Idt exactly how to do boot image posts and I'm curious if boot animations are Rom specific... if not then you guys can just go ahead and install my boot animation to check it out and try to teach yourselves

I too have been trying to create a custom boot animation, only with sound as well.
I've managed to get the animation to work, but the sound never plays. I have the sound set as an 80 kbps mono 22050hz mp3 named 'android_audio.mp3' and I'm using the newest version of Synergy Mod. Both bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 are sitting in /system/customize/resource right now.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?
Here's a post from droid life about how to create your own, and they aren't ROM specific.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/
Hi All,
Here's how to change the boot animation for the device. Do at your own risk. I've attached the Cyanogenmod boot animation for starters.
Boot Animation
1. Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip and varients. Rename it to bootanimation.bak and add .bak to all the others as well.
3. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
4. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
5. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
6. Give the new boot animate all the permissions.
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Cyanogenmod boot animation
Anyone tried it out yet?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
There's a few apps in the market that have a bunch of boot animation options. They're all sort of consolidated, I wonder if they're safe
Do you have to be rooted or unlocked to attempt?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You will have to be rooted, not sure about unlocked. I"m guessing OP didn't actually bother to look at the files though. There are 3 boot animations in the folder. Assuming you are on sprint, you can delete bootanimation_boost.zip. The bootanimation.zip runs before the bootanimation_sprint.zip runs. I don't know if deleting one would cause it to revert to running the other one twice or longer but it probably wouldn't hurt anything to test. The bootanimation.zip is the LG logo animation and the bootanimation_sprint.zip is the sprint logo animation. I would guess that you could customize each of these if you gave them the same name, or maybe if you deleted the sprint one, the other bootanimation.zip would run longer. I don't have time to test it now...
Are the third party boot animation apps safe?

If by safe you mean it won't brick it, then yes they are. They should work too.

Tried a few of those boot animation switchers. No dice
Just fyi for anyone who tried flash this, it isn't flashable, it just contains all the different dimensions.
Ok so I see the boost file. The sprint file. And the regular one. I changed it to .Bak and pasted the new one. But no dice
This will not work for the sprint att and boost versions i will use sprint for example...
You're mostly right however if you on one of the named providers above you must rename the old boot animation from bootanimation_sprint.zip to
bootanimation_sprint.bak then rename the file bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_sprint.zip i did this to restore the stock lg boot animation that was in there already i don't see why this would not work with other boot animation files
Enjoy

The "boot animations" application from play store works perfectly if you change "install location" in preferences to system/media and the preset file name in preferences to "bootanimation_sprint.zip". You can then just click install on any animation you like.

Hmm, guess I'll look into why the animation isn't working. Even made it from scratch and then using boot animation factory.
Epic has a guide that works better.
Also, to make it work you need to change the permissions of the new file.

Tried it with his guide and changed the permissions as well. I'm able to get stock JB to load on mine, it's just my boot animation that fails to work for some reason. I recreated it again from scratch and still don't really know what's wrong with it. Using 8bit color, stock compression, everything seems just fine; and yet it isn't. Maybe I'll take this up to the boot animation tutorial thread to see if anyone there can help me.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something extremely trivial that I should have noticed that just slipped by me. The folder name had a space in it, which pretty much made it useless. Fixed by removing the spaces.
Ive been working on a boot animation and i need to know iff I'm doing it right. I need pointers and someone who has had success with bootanimation.zip files. I have all images in numbered succession and i have the desc.txt file also set to the specific resolution. What needs to be played and etc. I flash the bootanimation.zip and everything flashes successfully but when rebooting the animation doesn't show. Any idea what could be wrong?

That might work except im not running ICS. Im on Jellybam 7.4.0 so its JB. Im also running the kt747 kernel which from my understanding allows custom boot animations. Im not sure if messing with those files will be good or bad. With ICS it may have worked but it may cause issues with JB.
