I have asked previously on how to enable sound on custom boot animations and was told to just paste the ogg sound file in the corresponding system/ui folder but even after doing that the sound still does not work is there something I'm missing? I have even tried changing the file permissions to match all the other system files (rw-r-r) if that even does anything.
I would like to enable boot sound because there are several custom boot animations that have great accompanying sounds, but since basically every custom rom disables bootup sound I cant enjoy the hard work that was put into making these awesome custom bootups

This has been bugging me forever. I love the Ion ROM for its speed but I hate not changing the boot logo (not splash1, the boot animation). I've discovered why/how the Ion ROM is different and how to fix it (partway).
First off, Ion doesn't use the standard boot.gif & boot.mp3 files in /system/media. If you try to place the files there you will get no response. Instead Google, for whatever the reason, has changed it into framework-res.apk.
If you unzip framework-res.apk the files are inside (unzipped dir)/assets/images/. They are named android-logo-mask.png, which is the text that says Android on boot, and android-logo-shine.png, which is the white & blue shine that slides across the text as it boots. You can simply change these out and resign the apk with your method of choice to change the icon.
Now on to the sound, the ROM ships with 2 boot sounds that I can't seem to distinguish other than the names. They are located in framework-res as well, in (unzipped dir)/assets/sounds. They are named bootanim0.raw & bootanim1.raw. A good audio editor for opening .raw files is Wavepad Sound Editor by NCH Swift Sound. It works well and handles the files with ease and has a free version or a 30 day trial available.
For whatever the reason, the sound doesn't play on boot by default. I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it but I believe the problem lies in init.rc when it calls the boot image, I know thats how it works on other ROMs but I haven't looked into Ion init.rc yet. You can probably tweak the init.rc to call the bootanim0.raw file to play when the logo shows. I will play around with it.
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem and PM me or post in this thread and I will try to help with any problems you have

This was already covered awhile ago in the Dream Themes and Wallpapers section.
The phone was too loud when booting up (too loud to reboot when in school ) so I created an update.zip which disables the sounds at boot time - when the little android pops-up and later at the HTC logo (boot sound).
You should be able to install these whit the cyanogen's recovery image (copy the file to the /sdcard as update.zip, boot the recovery image, apply update.zip and you are done).
* file disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip disables the boot sounds
* file enable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip reverts it to the stock (re-enables)
The process is done by replacing the /system/media/boot_animation.xml so if you have any custom boot animations/sounds this will possibly override/discard them. You have been warned
If anyone would contribute a new (better/different) boot sound, I can package it into an update.
WARNING: To disable boot sounds on a MoDaCo custom ROM versions 1.2-2.0 use the 1.5.1_bootscreens* files
To disable boot sounds on the 1.79.482.3 firmware or prior please use the disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip.
Enjoy

Nice... Maybe you can also change it to get and install bootsounds from the SD card? If no sound exist there, then it will be quiet..
If these files exist in /sdcard, use them:
/sdcard/popup.wav
/sdcard/htclogo.wav
Hmmm... must check how to do that with the update script... I know it could be done by a bash/shell script within the system (booted up/no recovery)...
It's actually only one file (boot.mp3) and there are also .gif files for screen animation.
Thnx for this i was so annoying to start the phone in quite places.
very good! it works! thanks dude!

No problem. I am also planing to do it also for the 1.2-1.5 MoDaCo ROM and later for the 2.x branch update.
Sweet! You made my day! I've been trying to solve this and here's the solution. Thx!
I made this change for some weeks ago on my HTC Hero too, but what I made was to split the MP3 file and only keep the Android "blip" sounds when starting up, but removing the LOAD HTC sound. I love my change, it's great
If anyone wants it I've now attached it.
Hi there,
Im using the Sprint CDMA Hero and just put the newly released 'Fresh' Rom on it.
Is there any way you could either make a flash/zip file to disable its sounds or explain how I can create one?
Really appreciate it.
Annex my first contribution is a combination of animation and logo android umbrella with your sound on ...
Discuss ... I hope you like it.
install -
have to be root
decompressed file only poweron.zip
Log in with root explorer>> copied the attachments (poweron.ogg and bootanimation.zip)>> go to / system / media and replace with the file bootanimation.zip poweron.ogg
Reset and Ready!
basically useless...
-not in english
-no install info nothing ...
cool i gonna take the ogg only
I reflashed CM10 with this, but the bootloader onyl plays it once and then it is like: How about no. and it stops, then u have black screen while starting
I have a note 2(Tmobile) Falshed to the newest build of Illusion( cm10.1 rom,)
I can get custom boot animations fine, using the rom toolbox app, along with manually editing files using file explorer. The issue is even with the proper poweron.ogg file in the media/ui directory, the sound wont start on boot.
Im at a loss as to how to get a custom sound, even flashingcm10.1 stock boot animation through clockworld recovery yields a status 0 error.
Thread search here also nets no results along with google.
Hope someone can help out, thanks
Hi,
I know this isnt the most useful thing but changing bootanimations used to be so easy :/
what i'm trying to do is replace the bootanimation.zip file in /system/product/media. I managed to do it with a Magisk module but even though the bootanimation file is replaced in /system/product/media, when booting up I still get the lineage default. I have had the same issue with stock and paranoid android. I also tried pushing it with ADB but still, while the file seems to have been replaced, it will still boot up to the default lineage animation.
Now don't get me wrong, default one is cool, but I just like messing around making my own animations.. and the fun is gone!
thx in advance!
You may find some possible answers from a similar thread for the Pixel 4A.
Any way to change boot animation
I found the file where boot animation is stored on the pixel 4a. It's not under system/media it's in product/media. None of the boot animation apps work. And the magisk module for changing animation doesn't seem to work on my device. When I try...
