[Q] need help please

hi everyone im new to the forum and wanted to say my god i love this forum ,all you guys help each other and im glad to be part of this forum .=) i have the htc evo 4g and its rooted .i just flashed miui rom and love it ,however,i wanted to know how i can load the call of duty bootanimation to this rom if possible .and i have 3 roms backed up that are all 3 the same how can i delete 2 of them thanks

1. Download the animation, re-name it to bootanimation
2. Place it on the root of your sd card, using a root file explorer [es file explorer, root explorer, ect] move it to /system/media and overwrite the existing one
3. Use a file manager to explore your sd card. You'll see a folder called clockwork if on cwm recovery, or nandroid if on amon ra. Open then folder and you'll see all your backups. Simply delete the ones you don't want

i have the miui rom .i have done this before and still wont work .can i delete everything i see with bootanimation? and just download a link with bootanimation and put it on my sd card ? and i figured out how to delete the back ups i did not want anymore thanks a bunch .i am using nandroid back up

Check for the /data/local folder for the bootanimation.zip [ I haven't used MIUI, but its either in /system/media or /data/local]

i went to date /local/using root explorer and get 3 folders one folder says parent folder second folder says download third folder says tmp now i go to systems and i see a folder called bootanimation.zip is that the folder im doing it as i type to you

You're in /system/media? What is the path exactly?

root eplorere its mounted as r/o i go to system and i see bootanimation .zip and i scroll down to media and if i open media i see audio bootanimation than bootanimation.zip than cod-bootanimation-aosp which is the bootanimation i want on my evo than gadget than lockscreen and so on

You need to delete the original bootanimation.zip, then rename cod-bootanimation-aosp to bootanimation [should still be .zip], reboot, and you should be good.

the cod bootanimation-aosp does not say zip next to it .does that mean its not zipped ? how do i know the bootanimation.zip is the original one ?

looking at the bootanimation folders i have about 3 folders with the name bootanimation if i long press the folder it saids i can zip the folder

Also make sure you're mounted as r/w. Long press it and hit rename, it should still be .zip, just doesn't show on the preview. Then do what I said previously.

i just switched it to r/w and i can only find the bootanimation file under s/d card and when i open the folder this is what it shows five files 1 file is parent folder 2 folder DS-STORE THIRD FILE ANDROID FOURTH FILE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FIFTH FILE DESC.TXT WHEN I CLICK ON FOURTH FILE WHICH IS BOOTANIMATION.ZIP I GET THIS PARENT FOLDER TWO DS-STORE FOLDERS THAT HAVE A LITTLE YELLOW STAR ON THEM .NEXT FOLDER META-NF AND SYSTEM HOW CAN I START THE PROCESS FROM SCRATCH

I was following some guy called zeromax on youtube .i did what he said to do and still not worked

Well you saw all those folders because you opened the bootanimation.zip zip, which you don't need to.
1. from the sd card, copy the renamed cod bootanimation, that has been renamed to bootanimation.zip
2. go to /system/media, delete the bootanimation.zip in there
3. paste your bootanimation.zip in its place, done.

My post 2 above is the 'restart' from the beginning.

On MIUI you apply boot animations through the Theme Manager. You can either pm me a link to the animation and I'll make you a mtz to apply through theme manager, or you can follow the normal directions. If you do it the same way you would do it on any other rom, you have to go into theme manager afterwards and reapply the default animation. You would do so by going to customize at the bottom of the main screen, then choose boot animation and select the default one. You may need to choose another before you're given the option to apply the default. If you don't have one then youcan download one from the theme manager.
MIUI is different from other roms in many ways, but theming is much easier as well. If you ever need help getting certain things working on MIUI, feel free to pm me. I've been running it for over six months and know it better than I know stock Android or Sense.
Edit: You can also place the boot animation in /data/system/theme/boots, name it bootanimation.zip, set permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot. Applying through theme manager is easiest if you're not familiar with modifying system files. As I already mentioned, I'd be happy to make an mtz for you.

You can add the boot sound through the Theme Manager. If you have the mp3, open theme manager. Select customize at the bottom, select boot sound, then choose the music app to find the sound.
I replied to your pm, do you still need me to make the theme? It's best to have the theme on hand. It'll take less than 15 minutes for me to make it, so if you want it just respond to my pm. I get notification that way, I might forget to check the thread.

[tutorial] [change boot sound on Stock ROM to anything you want]

Hi guys,
I found a way to change the boot up sound that's played during the boot animation when you start your phone.
You can change it to anything you want
I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3
This works for Samsung ROMs. For other CUSTOM ROMs it may not work because they don't support the boot sound, or the sound must be placed in system/media and not in system/etc for example.
Here's how it's done:
1. Device must be rooted
2. Open a file explorer, I use Root Explorer.
Navigate to 'System' folder on root of internal SD card, then go to 'etc' folder and find a file called: PowerOn.ogg
i.e /System/etc/PowerOn.ogg
3.Rename the file to: 'PowerOn.ogg.Backup' (just so you have a back up of your original) (to restore simply delete the custom sound you made and then rename this back to PowerOn.ogg)
4.Find an appropriate .MP3 file you want as a start up sound and rename to PowerOn.ogg (notice the capitals at the start of Power and On)
(You may need to use a convertor to convert .MP3 to .ogg but I didn't, I simply renamed the .MP3 file
5.Once you have your new PowerOn.ogg file simply paste it into System/etc folder
6. Turn up volume, reboot phone and test it out!
Let me know how you got on
I used the PlayStation 2 start up sound for my phone and it sounds awesome!
Here's a link to Playstation 2 sound (already re-named and ready to go): https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxycdj1rjokufim/PowerOn.ogg
Have fun!
P.S If anyone else has any other cool sounds please share

Sweet! Will try it out soon

I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3 but dont see why it wouldn't work on others

This works for Sammy ROMs, for other CUSTOM ROMs maybe won't work because they don't support the boot sound!! Or the sound must be placed in system>media and not in system>etc for ex....:good::good:

open root explorer and go to system->media->audio and here you gona find all system audio files ,and when you will replace them dont forget to mount R/O and set permissions after replacing or paste to :
read* write*
read*
read*

changing lock sound

how can i do it?
i'am with rooted sgh i747 with paranoidKANGdroid 4.2.2 rom.
thanks

My guess is find it in the filesystem with a root explorer and put your desired file in using the same audio format and renaming it to the original.

ok i found the lock file,but i can't delete it and when i try to put his name to the new rington i can't copy it into the system file whre it's should be

For changing lock sound
U will get it in system memory in
System/media/audio/ui
name i guss lock.ogg
Just change it with urs

what is urs?

system has to be in R/W as well. It won't you change anything if you are in R/O

ok,everything is on rw now i put the new rington on the same name with the same file end and now i don't have lock sound at all (i delete the old one)

Did you use a .ogg file?
Also, Make sure it's case sensitive, so make sure it's ''Lock.ogg''

what do you mean "ogg file" took mp3 file and changed his name to lock.ogg did i make it wrong?

Look for a mp3 to ogg converter on the play store.
Also, search before doing stuff like this. Google is magic

You should try actually converting your soundbyte to .oog rather than just renaming the file

sorry for the spam message i worked it out thanks every body

[Q] How to put new bootanim or/and downanim?

I know it's a stupid question :silly:
but how to put boot/down animations on HTC One X with Jelly Bean ARHD v21.0 installed?
i just don't know the directory AND the steps to do it..
here's the bootanim i want to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737369
also, is it possible to use the same animation for downanim too?
please kindly help this little noob ._.

The bootanimation and downanimation path differs from ROM to rom.. so if it's a flashable zip, Make sure the path is set right! Usually it's under /system/media
If it's not a flashable zip, then mount the system as R/W and put the bootanimation.zip file in the respective path and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot!
If you ask ROM related things in the ROM thread, you will get a fast and accurate reply!
PS: There's a chance that you might not be able to boot into OS if something goes wrong, so it's better you make a nandroid backup before doing anything!

You need to be rooted... and use Root Explorer and navigate to that path... Rename the old bootanimation.zip to something else and follow the steps above...
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup! It's better to be safe than sorry

So i've installed Root Browser app from Google Play..
and i check around the internet to see tips for installing new boot animations
Found this:
"Installation using Root Explorer or any File Explorer:
* Change r/o to r/w (FileSystem as writable)
* Copy the boot & downanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource (or the directory where original files is)
* Change animation permisions to rw-,r--,r--
* Reboot and Enjoy"
i don't get how to change the file system to writable or to change animation permissions
is there someone that would like to explain to me how? thanks!

Open Root Explorer... Navigate to /system/media or whichever is your path for the bootanimation.zip
On the upper part of the screen your will this : Mounted as R/O... Just beside this there will be a button which says "Mount as R/W"..
Select that and then copy paste the new zip there...
To change permissions, press and hold the file in root exploer and click on change permissions and set the correct permission...

OH MEN ITS AWESOME!!1!
-Thanks-

Great! Enjoy the Bootanim!
