Is there any way to add your own boot sound to any ROM/boot ani? Conventional wisdom would seem to say whatever .wav file I put in the correct location. (/system/etc?) With the correct permissions (rw-r--r--?). Would work. But it doesn't. I have CM9 (the 6/13 one that was posted on the blog. "NOT alpha 6" lol). Anyone know about this?

Did you rename it to "PowerOn.wav"? I believe it has to be exactly like that. The bootanimation should be just be called "bootanimation.zip" and should be placed under "system/media". I successfully changed the boot animation and sound using AOKP so these settings might not work on CM9 but you should give them a try.
I did rename it exactly that. However it wasn't originally a .wav it was an mp3. Maybe it needs to be converted first? Also does it just go in that etc folder? The sound? I am not changing the boot ani. Just trying to add sound

It's different from one ROM to another and I'm not on CM9 to confirm the folder, but you would need to use a file in the same format and with the same name for it to work. So if the file you're wanting to use is in WAV format but the current system one is on MP3 you will need to convert it before the system will acknowledge it.

You cannot change the extension of the file and expect it to be a new type of file. You must convert the mp3 to a wave file by using some sort of program on the internet. Once that is done, just drop the newly converted file into "system/etc" and renamed to "PowerOn.wav" and should work. Worth a try

I am trying to change my boot animation on cm7 and have tried to change it to a pc36img file and it says parsing file. I also have tried to move it into the systems media folder using rootexplorer but I get a message stating its a read only file. I tried changing the permissions and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Im sure Im missing something here.
On root explorer, press on the top right where it says "mount" before you paste, it'll let you paste it.
Then just set permissions.

You have to make sure that you moved the file to the correct place, that the permissions match the original's, and that the boot animation was built properly. Try another and see if you get the same result. If you do, you're doing something wrong. If it works, there's something wrong with the boot animation you're trying to use.
You said it was a PC36IMG, so I'm thinking that it's the file. Usually boot animations are either moved manually or made into a flashable zip - splashscreens come as PC36IMGs. If you can attach the file, I'll take a look at it for you.

If you're manually placing it in the /system/media/ folder, which is what I recommend doing, then the file needs to be named bootanimation.zip and contain ONLY the png files and the required txt info file.
As plainjane said, splash screens are usually what are flashed via PC36IMG.zip files.
disk space?
it keeps tellin me i dont have enough disk space to copy and paste? i deleted the old boot anime, so how could i possibly not have enough??

I had memory problems as well my first time applying a boot animation. I suggest using root explorer to delete some system wallpapers that you don't use. Should free up enough space for your big bootanimation

FYI, NEVER delete anything from your system folders that is currently working until you have a replacement that you know for a fact works. I usually rename the file with (backup) appended to the file name. That way I can go back if the file I am replacing it with is junk.
It dosent matter if its just a boot animation... I cut my phone back on before i got it workin

Uhh.....what?
1. Place the bootanimation.zip file below into /system/media/
2. DO NOT change the name at all.
3. Move preexisting bootanimation file somewhere into your SD card so that you don't lose it.
4. Then reboot your phone.
I know for a fact that the file is a good file because I've used it before. If your phone still screws up then you're most likely not putting it in the right location. The zip file size is just under 5MB. So make sure you have at least that much space free in your phone's internal storage.
I included thumbnail previews of the bootanimation. (I don't remember who created this bootanimation but it was not I.)
Edit: I think it was Dysgenic, or something like that, that created this bootanimation.
What i was saying is it doesent matter if you delete all boot animations and cut your phone on. It just defaults to a very simple android one... And that i had got it workin.

Oh ok. Glad to hear it.
I would like to know how to make a custom boot logo for my xperia play r800a what i want to do is after the sony erricson splash ball thing comes up after the SONY ERRICSON sign the rogers logo pops up which I HATE. So i want to change the rogers picture to a playstation picture like when the old psx roms boot up. I have gotten a picture put it in the right resolution and stuck it in the boot animation file without unpacking it this did not work the sony erricson stuff comes up but when my psx sign is supposed to it just show a black screen some help would be greatly appreciated
Unpack the bootanimation.zip open up the folder and find the image you want to replace.
Before you delete it, rename the file/s you want to replace it with, so it's got the same filename as the original.
Now delete original and copy new image/s over. Repack the .zip WITH NO COMPRESSION. And copy back to /system/media/

Download winrar, and use that, when you rezip it make sure you choose .zip not .rar and choose store from the compression menu. Finally make sure the .zip is called bootanimation.zip. Not bootanimation.zip.zip or bootanimation.zip.rar

Is there anyone who can make this boot animation for our epic 4g? possibly flashable with the sound? would kill to have it... ive tried and cant seem to get it to work... it was created for the evo but we definetly need this one!! Just google modern warfare 4 boot animation or email [email protected] for link.. forum wont let me post it. but its easy to find
permission was given to port if needed but have no idea how.. sorry to be such noob. all credit for this goes to CrAcKaNuG for creating even if it was for evo
thanks to anyone, much appreciated
Should work fine without sound on an aosp rom but for touchwiz you'll need to rename it to sanim.zip and place it in the /system/media. And for the sound if you can find the file for sound take that and make it a .wav and rename it to PowerOn.wav. Should be placed in /system/etc I think... dunno I forget exactly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
thanks
thats what ive been trying to do.. great with flashing anything not so great when it comes to modifying files.. i found the sound its a .rar file
thanks for all the help is there anyway to make this flashable through cwm for fc19 or fc09?
u rock
Its a little difficult if you can find a flashble that is used for bootnaimations then that might work... dunno off hand but you'd need to modify the updater-script which is daunting if you don't know what your doing.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Oh that and the .rar files... hmm its might be too long of a sound because the the PowerOn.wav will only play as long as the original boot sound is... so the sound is pretty pointless. If you get es file manager from the market, open it up and go to the settings and make sure its checked as root browser and that the system is mounted as rewrite then you can go to the favorites and go to the / which is the phone icon or your home. Once there find the /system folder then go to the /media folder then you can place the boot animation you renamed to sanim.zip and overwrite the current one. Reboot and it'll be done.
almost there
ok there is a bootani.qmg file and 1 called bootsamsungloop. do i delete both of these and add the zip?? also u were right on with the sound file there is a poweron.snd and poweron.wav file do i just convert the .rar file to .wav and replace just the .wav file?? thanks so much i think we r almost there... fingers crossed!! also found a flashable zip but its the full mw3 boot animation and i just want the begining part.. couldnt i just delete all the extra files to modify it?.. the sound is wrong too but can i just replace it with the other once i convert it?

LOL no no dont delete those files. The bootanimation.zip that you want which is the modern warefare bootanimation.zip... rename that to sanim.zip and place it in that folder... it will overwrite the one currently in there. As for the .rar i would forget it... its not worth it because it wont play the whole sound anyways.
Yes delete those files, otherwise they may flash screens of the Sprint boot ani.

trying this
the .rar sound for this is just a beat in the backround so really doesnt matter how long it is as long as i can make it work. do i just convert to wav an replace the other .wav? i can always shorten it to save space.
son of a!!
I just realized i updated to fc19 an is just stock rooted... so naturally it said i dont have permission to delete those files.. so i have to go back to fc09 and reflash the rom i had... kenny will the peoples rom work on fc19??

.rar is a zipped folder with winrar.. you have to extract that and depending on whats in that it might work.. other wise no. The sound is too big of a file so what they do is compress it and make it smaller to work. But in our case its not the size of the file but the length of the sound which is only like 10 seconds or so....
gonna try
gonna give this a shot but have to flash a new rom first. i dont think there is anything for fc19 so i guess im going back to fc09.. ive been have problems with the wi-fi staying connected on fc19 that i never had before so might be better off.. i would imagine that would be the fc19 modem?? ya think?
In the good old day when we had so many gingerbread options, if your rom allowed it you could change boot animation simply put zip into system/media now that we are moving on to ICS that no longer works, I did some searching that a second file needs to be made or placed for it to work, I tried toolbox but most of those although they do work are droid themes or lame. So the question is was anyone able to change the boot animation with a ICS rom, without using toolbox, if so please post how you were able to do it. I love the android pissing on apple boot. Does any one have that anmation by chance most links I found were to megaupload which has been shut down.
Once you find the one you want just place it into system\media make sure its named bootanimation.zip
It works with dark side evolution ics. I know because I made a animation from scratch and I run it in my phone.

The problem with the bootanimation.zip file you were trying to use was that when I unzipped and took a look into the desc.txt file, the second line where it states what folder to run first was not named the same as the folder that contained the images. So when you were telling your phone to look in a certain folder it was never found. In case you run into other problems follow these basic steps.
You need to unzip it and make sure that it is filed in the correct order. When a bootanimation.zip is made it consist of a desc.txt and at least one folder with many or few .png images. The folder that contains the .png images must be named the same in the txt file. In order of course of how you want to see it run. All this is stated in the desc.txt.
And to put it on your phone just copy paste into system/media make sure that you can RW in that directory. Then reboot and your good.
Or an easier way just do adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media from platform tools in your SDK.
XDA upload wasn't working so here ya go!
Ok first off big thanks to cesar, I didnt get his post at first and didnt feel like bothering him any more as he has been much to helpful so in lamemans terms, you need it to be in a zip format when you put it into system/media.....within that zip should be a folder containing you pics and a text file (what ever the folder is called should also be referenced in the text file) I was a little lost when I saw boot and tried several different ways till I got it, and now I understand, also I think within the text file you can set the size of video on the first line. Again big thanks to Cesar.

Have you tried just making your audio into .ogg file type and pushing into place?
Steps:
Make or get the sound you want to use.
Get Audacity (free program) on your computer.
Use Audacity to export your desired audio into "ogg" format.
Name the file PowerOn.ogg.
In your phone, go to system/media/audio/ui/ folder... if PowerOn.ogg is there, rename it in case you want it back. Then push your newly created PowerOn.ogg file into that location, make sure the file permissions are the same as the others in that folder, and reboot.
Does this work?

Hmm. Did you name the file PowerOn.ogg? I believe it's case sensitive, so if poweron.ogg was what you tried, retry with PowerOn.ogg... Last idea: I don't have a ROM to look at, but you can search or someone can reply to confirm that's the right destination folder for PowerOn.ogg in AOSP JB, or just try a few others - system/etc/ or up in system/media/ where bootanimation,zip should be. That's all I've got. Good luck, bud.
Just tried that. No power on there but even when placed it still doesn't work. I changed permissions as advised, still no $. I'm running slim bean btw
