I was wondering where would you put a bootanimation sound. I put a sm2_opening.ogg file in /system/media/ where the zip goes but when i rebooted the sound it didnt play.
so am i using the right file, wrong location? or am i completely off any help will be appreciated.
Currently running the acer LiquidMetal rom
Normally the sound file would have to be called out from the desc.txt , which is located within the bootanimation.zip file.
The ogg or mp3 file would be placed in the /system/media/ but needs to be called out by the desc.txt.
This my not work with the Liquid rom but worth a shot. Bootanimation sounds dont work with gingerbread....at the moment.
@ wilnotdie. Thanks a lot for the quick response could you post an example of the code needed for the desc.txt I don't know how to code lol.

No problem.
Code:

s boot.mp3
@wilnotdie thanks for all your help btw do I enter the above code in terminal or just include it in the desc.txt

@wilnotdie got one more question for you champ should I rename the file to boot.mp3 or can I write the file name where it says boot.mp3 in the code or does it not matter. I should be good to implement it after this.
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA App
Doesn't matter. You can name the sound file whatever, just add the same name in the desc.txt file.

This way worked for me, but only once I flashed the stock/froyo rom.
There's another method which uses xml files instead of desc.txt file, but that way might only work for motorola phones...and it looks more complicated. Haven't done much research on that as the first option worked.

Trying to get it to work on GB....
Let me know if you need any testers. Would be nice to have this on gb.
So is it only Liquid Metal that supports it? I'm running CM 6.1.1 and I was told that I couldn't do bootanimation sound..
@ wilnotdie ahhh i tried to do this myself and it didnt work for me i was hoping you could do it for me it would be really appreciated.
Also could you tell me what my error was the audio file is inside the part0 folder if you need it.
Man im mad happy you got this working i jus figured id give up lol. thanks again for all your help.
@xomikronx yea that would be really sweet if we could get this implemented on gb
I'm really glad a lot of people are getting use of this thread not to mention having boot sounds is cool as s**t especially if you have an animation that goes well with it
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA App
I'll take a look.... should be make it work.
Theres a few other special instruction needed. I'll post them soon.
You are trying to flash this through recovery, right?
The file you posted looks like its for recovery.
You can try flashing it again, and see if it works. Most likely you will need a different bootanimation binary file. This binary file, unless im mistaken, tells the phone how to play the bootanimation.zip etc...
The one you currently have, doesn't know how to process sound during boot. You will need a one that does.
If your original zip doesn't work, give this one a try. I moved the ogg file to the media folder, and also added the bootanimation binary which handles sound.
****Before Flashing The attached Zip!****
Backup everything on your phone, either through Rom Manager or Recovery...than before flashing the zip, please back up your original bootanimation binary file.
To do this, you can either use root explorer, go to
/system/bin/
and rename the file bootanimation to bootanimation2 or something different.
or from terminal
Code:
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /system/bin/bootanimation /sdcard/origbootanimationbinary
mount -o remount, ro /system

@wilnotdie yea I was flashing it through recovery. Thanks for taking a look at it and making the changes ima go ahead and backup and then ill flash it ill post after I've done it and let you know how it goes.
I had no clue that the binary for that zip didn't know how to handle the sound like I said I don't know how to code so a lot of the stuff I see in these zip files I don't know what it means I can understand some of it just based off the knowledge I do have about android. Wish there was a way I could learn more about coding and stuff like that without it being to much of a hassle for someone to teach me.

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.

i assume that this was prompted by the recent news of Osama Bin Laden's "death"?
actually it wasn't, I was looking for it for a few days but the Osama thing does make me want it more.
I used to have that boot screen on my WinMo Touch Pro. I don't know if I've seen an Android version.
Someone ported it to android no sure for what device. I have the zip file but it didn't work for me.

Perhaps the zip file is not flashable? Or if it is but made for another Android device, just extract the bootanimation.zip and put it in the correct folder.
Post the zip and I'll take a look at it for you.

Ok. So the zip file you posted was flashable, sort of. It had both edify and amend scripts in it. I don't think you can have both. This is just the extracted animation, resized and optimized. 13 megs was a bit large. Rename if necessary and use root explorer to install to the proper location. Probably system/ customize/ resource. I can make this flashable if you can give me a location of your current boot animation. I may have to adjust the speed. It was originally set to 60 fps. It's currently 15 fps. Try it out and let me know.

http://pocketnow.com/android/first-look-at-the-nexus-prime-boot-animation-video
Boot animations are a series of jpg files put into an uncompressed zip file. The desc.txt file gives a few instructions. You can read up on it and become a master in a few minutes to an hour or so. I googled it and learned enough to make one of my 3 year old playing soccer.
In any case, I successfully loaded it on my evo pretty easily.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/
to download a flashable version of it (click on nexus prime boot.zip).
I am not sure if you can just flash this zip file in recovery. Easier for me to just open it up and pull out the bootanimation.zip file.
I placed it on my hard drive, and then copied it over to prior bootanimation file:
/system/customize/resource/spc_bootanimation.zip
I renamed the old one to be safe, rebooted, and it seems to be working.
The desc.txt file may need to be tweaked to make it perfect, but to me it looks fine.
supar awesome. thanks alot! gonna try this out.
Looks really good ill check it out

1. How do I change boot animations on an ICS Rom?
2. So say I Odin stock el26+cwm, then made a backup of ics and flashed gb. If I Odin el26+cwm again, would I be able to restore the backup of ics?
Thanks in advance.

1: ROM toolbox has an option to change it but I don't know if it works.
2: Yes but you'll also have to flash an ICS kernel (like FD19) so it boots.

Browse to /system/media and backup bootanimation.zip to a safe location
Rename this boot animation to bootanimation.zip
Place the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card
Navigate to where you saved the new bootanimation.zip and copy it
Browse to /system/media and paste the new bootanimation.zip replacing the old one

Pretty sure that is not very safe. Going between GB and ICS is risky, it is best to start from scratch every time

This is true, if you have a kernel that supports bootanimation. We currently do not have one, until official is out, and reconfigured by a kernel dev (please please do this for us Steady...). The bootanimation that you see is the one in our source kernels, used in a .qmg format, that is also explained in my link.
In order to change the bootanimation, you need to get tue .qmg files from other phones. They used to be named bootani.qmg, in the gb days, but after froyo, they turned to bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg located in /system/media. You can go to this link and download a zip file, of a stock boot from that specific phone, open it, rename bootani.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg, and copy the files into tue /system/media folder if you want. I triex hem all out, but some of them dont work due to sizing. The cool part about it is that you can kind of have a "dual boot" by taking a bootsamsung from one and bootsamsungloop from another, and they will both show up, one after the other. Dont bother with the sounds files, cause jone of them work. Rename the other qmg to old or something if you want to keep them... Here is the link for collected qmg files.... http://www.nubecoder.com/files/android/SPH-D700/bootani-qmg/

Codename can do this due to ot being ported from other devices. I am not sure how the kernel combo works with it, but it has things in there built directly from source in order to get these awesome features without relying on the kernel. I could be far from wrong here (hopefully not, I hate looking like an ass....lol), but I was unable to change on all of the leaked versions so far.

You can also just replace the bootanimation in the zip file prior to flashing. Just make sure its in the same format as the one presently there. I know with AOSP this is possible but may cause some issues with Stock TW unless you know how to or find a program that will convert bootanimation to the same format as TouchWiz
