Enable The Bootsounds ?

Can anybody help me on How to enable Bootsounds on 2.1 ROM's like MCR 4.0 or ChoclateEclair

On some ROM's you'll find a folder in /system/media called bootanimation .
In that folder is a bootanimation.xml which holds the settings for the bootanimation, including the option to enable a bootsound.
This does not work for every ROM.
Edit: in the new official taiwanese-release of 2.1 the bootanimation is in /system/customise/resource

Ya I know that But the audio and the .zip thing is there, but I'm not able to locate the .xml file for boot animation.

That's because there isn't any. Put an mp3 file named android_audio.mp3 in customize/resource and it should play on boot automatically.

Also a lot of ROMs if not all "takes" it from data/local/bootanimation.zip

^ that would be data/local instead depending on what ROM your using The bootsound you can take from another ROM with a bootsound... Just extract it

Ya! the .mp3 and .zip file are there, But it just played on the first Boot when I flashed the ROM, after that now it doesn't play.

Hm... Didn't know that, since I removed the mp3 before flashing the ROM so didn't get the chance to test how it works.

[Q] installing custom boot animation?

I am having trouble installing the new Prime Boot annimation..
i flashed the zip but nothing happens .. the same boot annimation that came with the rom is still there.. ?

Unless specified...you don't flash a the bootanimation.zip. Using a program like Root Explorer navigate to the System-Media folder and rename the stock bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. That way if you ever want to go back to stock just change the end to .zip.
Then, copy the bootani you want to change to into that same folder. If you're using Root Explorer...long press on the file and change permissions to RW-R-R. Reboot and enjoy your new boot animation.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/
The boot animation from the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus that was teased to us earlier in the week is now available for everyone to play with. The instructions we have are for flashing in Clockwork Recovery, but if you aren’t rooted, you will have to do it the old fashioned way by extracting and moving the bootanimation.zip into /data/local or wherever your particular phone pulls media from.
Sexy, isn’t it?
Download: Nexus_Prime_Boot.zip
Instructions:
1. Download the file from above an drop it on your SD card.
2. Reboot your phone into recovery.
3. Choose “install zip from sd card.”
4. ”Choose zip from sd card.”
5. Select the file you downloaded from above.
6. Once it finishes running choose “Go Back” and then reboot!

Will any custom boot animation work with a rooted Incredible with stock kernel?

Boot animations that are appropriately formatted will work with your phone. The boot animation is not dependent on your kernel, so yes it will.

Try system/customize/resource then. You might have to rename it VZW_bootanimation. Whatever it is rename it that. Just installed it. Its actually pretty cool. Theyre getting better at not sucking when it comes to bootanimations.

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.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

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

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,

DROPBOX LINK
HTML:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6xfg1doitjslv/dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip
Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]

Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Update : was using Cm11 theme before and this seemed to be the cause.restored the theme to default and placed the boot animation to system/media and it worked like a charm.
Thank you again

Very cool, but why must it call me a mother****er when I install it?

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?
Thanks for bringing this to the forums btw and resizing it
EDIT: Found out why, I needed to change the permissions to rw-r-r

It did yes, I used ES file explorer (make it have root permissions) and if you go to more > properties permissions > change and set it to rw-r-r, the bootanimation then works

Haha, it's awesome! The size is a bit big, but that's not a problem. Thanks! :victory:

Didn't work for me?

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.
