So I pretty much have the custom boot animations figured out... It seems to work whether I put bootanimation.zip in /data/local or /system/media no problem... but the one thing I can't figure out is how to get a sound to play. I've tried every combination I can think of... boot.mp3 in the zip file, android_audio.mp3 in the zip file... tried the zip without the mp3, just placing the mp3 in the same directory as the zip (and also tried both names that way, in both directories stated above).
Is there something I'm supposed to add to the desc.txt file? What am I missing?? The only info I can find for the Eris is just "put a boot.mp3 in the zip file" which is just not working...
I am almost ready to explode...
Any help?? It would be much appreciated!
You cannot use sound using the bootscreen.zip. You have to use the old method. Search for Stock bootscreen w sounds, In the Eris dev forum.

You could check out my rom. It has the nexus boot screen with the mac bong sound.
Alright, I searched a bit more and had no luck with the .xml (stock) method... It just simply doesn't acknowledge it. It works fine using the bootanimation.zip method (well, no sound of course), in either location as stated above, but if I remove/rename them and try the /system/media/bootscreen location with .xml, .gif, and .mp3 files, it completely ignores them. I copied the exact file structure from the CookieRom and got nothing.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Like maybe some sort of switch that says "LOOK HERE FOR BOOT ANIMATION" or something?
I've even tried taking the /system/bin/bootanimation file from Cookie and replacing mine with it, but then it doesn't even run.
There has to be something simple I'm missing and I just have no idea what it is...
FYI I'm using a non-Sense ROM if that makes any difference...
Anybody??
Anyone...? Bueller...?
i am just a puzzled about this. If you get it figured out.... lets us know!
You need to take the boot animation from a rom like cookie rom or damaged tazz, that have sound enabled. It usually in in the system/bin folder. Put in into the rom of your choice and then flash the bootanimation.zip file and it should work. That's what I did and it worked for me...DROID

For those of you who are fed up with AT&T original boot animation
and want to bring a little touch of originality to your phones;
I will give you the tools to do so and then i would like this topic
to be the display of all the talent behind your idea's. Dont be affraid
to post your creations here
So lets get started.
In order to change the bootanimation on android phone you need first to be ROOTED.
that will help you in the futur with you phone anyway... but will also give you access
to root files on your phone.
Now!!!
The file that has the bootanimation data is:
system/media/bootanimation.zip
and it is formed of 4 or less items inside.
folder : part0
folder : part1
folder : part2
.txt : desc.txt
the mechanism behind these files is simple.
the 3 folders have inside of them PNG image sequences that creates the animation.
and the .TXT "desc.txt" is the script that puts it all together.
* You will notice that inside the :
system/media directory there is an audio folder as well.
This is where the sound associated to the bootanimation is stored
originally called :
boot_att.ogg or anything else the carrier wants to call it... (we'll talk about it later)
OK. If you were Able to follow sofar you must have an idea of what is next.
the idea is to replace that bootanimation.zip file and that boot_att.ogg sound to
change the bootanimation to your own.
I highly recommand to backup these existing files just in case you want to put the
phone back to it's original state...
This is where it is getting fun!
"HOW TO CREATE ANOTHER bootanimation.zip?"
sofar the best result would be obtained by creating a flash animation
of your own using adobe flash software. The screen size to select when
creating file should be in pixel the size of your android phone listed on the specs . final file will be then
published as .SWF
Once you have your SWF file you need to convert it to a PNG animation.
(what is a PNG animation?) well it is a sequence of PNG images that are put one after the other to create an animation just like the one on part0 folder of bootanimation.zip
There is a cool software that makes that convertion. It
breaks your SWF animation to a frame by frame PNG sequence.
ADShareit SWF to Video Converter Pro v5.3.zip (attached below)
....shhhhhh!!! yes i gave you a cracked one.
so when you add your SWF movie onto ADShareit you go to settings:
-Export type: Image sequence
- Sequence : Normal sequence (interact)
... the rest will pretty much adjust to the original swf file specs.
since the convertion of your swf to PNG animated is going to create a lot of PNG images
you want to create a folder on your desktop called "part0"
and on ADShareit settings you would select that folder as Export point.
Hit OK!
and let the convertion take place.
You should have now on your destop a folder name "part0" that has your SWF movie broken into several PNG
images.
At that point you have created the main animation for your bootanimation.zip file
But since the animation should play just once and then wait for the phone to boot up, you dont want it to loop.
That is why you have to create another folder "part1" that will have inside the last image of your "part0" sequence.
and that one will loop till phone boot up.( being just one image it will feel as if movie stopped.)
so i repeat:
create another folder called "part1" on witch you copy/paste the last PNG on folder "part0" you just created.
so now you have two folders:
"part0" main animation.
"part1" animation ending loop.
That's it for the animation part!
NOW THE DESC.TXT .
is just a basic txt doc on witch you type what will become the "action script"
of your bootanimation.
here is what you type: "this was when i was creating it for a motorola bravo"
480 854 30
p 1 3 part0
s loading.mp3
p 0 0 part1
now let me explain what it stands for
-first line: is the size of your animation : 480 by 854 (motorola bravo screen resolution)
then "30" stands for the speed of your animation .(30 frames per seconds/fps)
- second line part 1 of 3 (meaning first part to play) is "part0"
- third line is the sound that will play with the animation
* i said i'd talk about this later.
so here it is:
The sound format does not have to be in .ogg only it can be .mp3 or any other format your phone
recognize. the name of it also can be anything as long you use the same name for the sound file
you want to add.
(note that in front of sound line you have a "s" , and not a "p" it stands for "sound".
- fourth and last line is always the loop image file (that will be the last thing played and it will loop)
p 0 0 part1 (part1 is to be played as last.)
save .txt created as desc.txt
We have all the files now created . we need to zip:
- part0
- part1
- desc.txt
But this is not zipped just in any manner ...
you need to use 7Z compression software from there:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
and zip by adding to archive and setting compression to :
-achive format : ZIP
- Compression level : store
or else it will not work if compressed any other way !!!
save compressed file as bootanimation.zip
here you go.
You have now:
- bootanimation.zip
- loading.mp3
copy both to your phone SD card. and push bootanimation.zip to :
system/media
and loading.mp3 to:
system/media/audio.
reboot phone and enjoy!
I.E: I am adding my bootanimation below along with sound that goes with it.
It was too big to attach on XDADev.
so i give you mediafire download links.
bootanimation.zip
loading.mp3
Ahhhh. Thank you for this. Going to give it a go when I get off work.
Thank you I hated the stock one!

Yes jared152,
I 've updated my post, and added my bootanimation and sound that goes with it .
I'd appreciate you giving it a try. Would be curious to see your creation!
Have fun.
lecelui, Very nice job on your instructions and explanations! It got me thinking about how much I hated the AT&T woosh boot and then the dropping globe. I'm a novice at android programming altho I have got my phone rooted and bloatware frozen. I found an app called root tools by JRummy in the market and he has included some boot animations that are clever. So now I have some dancing droids!! Hopefully 2.2 froyo will be released to everyones Bravo soon, it really speeds functions up. Thanks again for your efforts!

does anyone have the original boot animation .zip file I could get? I am really stuck the custom animation I have is keeping me from being able to update to 2.2. you can pm me or email me that would be awsome. thanks
Still kinda new to this, but:
I was able to push the animation, but the sound isnt working. Phone is not on silent when it reboots either. I'm using bandroidx's RC2 rom with Froyo, and when I tried to push into system/media, the command prompt told me it was a read-only file system. So I tried pushing into data/local and the animation was working, just without the sound. Any help would be appreciated, as I would like to make my own custom animations with sound.

There's a way to mount /system as rw in adb, but I don't know it. Do you have cwm? You can easily mount /system in cwm recovery and then push the file there I think.
I have bandroidx's bootstrapper CWM from when I flashed the ROM, and found the mount /system option, do I simply just mount it and push to the aforementioned directory with adb while in CWM? As I said, I'm still rather new to android filesystems and I don't want to do anything to brick my phone. Thanks for the patience and any help you can provide.

Yea, make sure the USB cable is plugged in when cwm recovery turns on, mount /system in the cwm menu, then push the files to where the tutorial tells you.
And if you do somehow brick, there's always an sbf.

Maybe, the boot animation for that might be in /data/local/ so either delete that file and put your boot animation in /system/media/ or just overwrite the file in /data/local
chemicalsmile
* You will notice that inside the :
system/media directory there is an audio folder as well.
This is where the sound associated to the bootanimation is stored
originally called :
boot_att.ogg
So I was looking around some forum and found a droid x bootanimation with sound.
I pushed the mp3 file (maybe the bootanimation.zip navigated to the .mp3? I don't want that bootanimation though) and it doesn't appear to have done anything.
So I tried some other methods:
In terminal emulator...
I ran allinone
under boot properties I found a boot sound enabler.
It says it enables bootup.ogg from system/media/audio or something.
Whatever it was...I pulled the droid.ogg
Renamed it to bootup.ogg and pushed it to the correct area.
Rebooting doesn't appear to give me any sound.
Sad day.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I then found some bootanimation file that supposedly links your Droid X to play a boot sound. I pushed that after making a hasty backup of the original. Then realized the file wasn't for gingerbread...and repushed the original back (I think I may have deleted the original and pushed the same file back again). After this step I have no bootanimation.
Does anyone have the stock bootanimation file from system/bin and can you upload?
Since my bootanimation is broken...this last try may be a futile attempt.
But just now I used this
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/dr...tml#post266035
as a reference
Unzipped the default liberty bootanimation.zip and edited desc.txt by adding a "s droid.ogg" line.
Rezipped (the proper way without compression).
No go.
Then used liberty toolbox to try and flash the original liberty bootanimation.zip back (in case jrummy is using some method I'm not, rather than pushing it there myself) and I'm still without a bootanimation.
I'm sure I can fix the missing bootanimation eventually...
But the bootanimation file from system/bin would be nice if you have it handy.
Or if you know what else I can do to restore it.
But mainly...any idea how to get sound working?!
I'm going to bed at the moment...too tired and I work tonight.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
I know there is an SD notification that many are confusing with the bootup sound. This just seems to be an alternative that should keep the "drrrooooiiid" sound as default...if my thinking is correct.
After days of unsuccessful searching of the forums and also Google and multiple flashes between stock Rom and Th3ory's I have figured out how to add sound to his boot animation or your own custom boot animation in his rom.
NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!! YOU WILL BE EDITING A SYSTEM FILE USED DURING BOOT
1. copy default.xml from /system/customize/CID to /sdcard using Root Explorer or another app.
2. open VZW_bootanimation.zip to see what the name of the folder with your boot png's in it is named. Write that down. If using the boot animation that comes with GINGERTH3ORY the folder will be "part0"
3. open default.xml from your sdcard using a web editor. I use Android Web Editor Lite.
4. on line 120 will be the info for where the phone looks for the boot animation and boot audio. notice that boot animation is VZW_bootanimation.zip and audio is Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3
5. on line 120 change audiostart="VZW" to audiostart="part0" or whatever the name of the folder is with your boot animation png's in it
6. save the xml and exit your editor
7. change the name of the original default.xml to default.xml.old
8. using Root Explorer paste the edited default.xml from /sdcard into /system/customize/CID
9. now paste whatever mp3 you want to play at boot into the /system/customize/resource folder and rename it to Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3
10. reboot and finally enjoy the audio
If using a custom boot animation simply rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip and paste it into the /system/customize/resource folder.
Hope this helps those that were having issues!
Kudos man. I can't test tonight, but will test it in the morning.
EDIT: Worked perfectly on Th3ory's v4.5.1 Great work!

I don't have the stock animation any more. I inverted the colors on th3ory's stock animation and added the first dozen or so png's (the one's that fade in to "Th3ory" and then fade out, not the eye ones) to the beginning of the white boot ani from here:

Hi stoudtlr, I'm trying to do a custom boot animation. I zipped the files and named it VZW_bootanimation.zip but all I get is an empty screen after the white htc screen. Any ideas?

When you zip the files make sure that compression is set to "store". That's the first thing that comes to mind if you are sure you don't have a typo in the name and you have them in the right location.

I have slaved over trying to get sound with bootanimation on my Blade.
it seems strange to me why this cannot be done when it is possible on other Androids, and it is a doddle on HTC's
I know there are many very knowledgable devs out there ... and if someone can spare the time I will donate !
my Blade is the Oled type, current rom is Blue Ginger v5.
here is what I have gathered from many other postings on various websites & forums.
firstly, there is confusion over the mp3 name ...
Bootsound.mp3, android.mp3, android_audio.mp3 and boot.mp3 have all been advised.
then it's location has been stated as in:
data/local, system, system/media, system/bin, and system/audio/ui ... etc.
then there are those who state that it needs an 's' line in dec.txt, or even embedding the mp3 into bootanimation.zip !
I even found a Cyanogen bootsound fix zip file for their roms, but it did not surprise me when that failed on mine.
I appreciate that perhaps with all these permutations it may be just case of my not dropping on the correct one ... but surely it is possible ?
pleeeeeese help here !

hmm.. if you open the bootanimation.zip then you need to add somewhere the audio file(s)
Or if you want only audio to Android boot logo then try this: framework-res.apk <----- go to /assets/sounds if it have it (I don't remember)
then you need to add audio to framework-res.apk with right name.. (maybe...)
Search from google: audio to bootanimation.zip
EDIT: to get audio to work on bootanimation.zip then maybe it needs playmp3 to /system/bin/ folder...
I will try to get sounds to boot animation!
Motorola bootanimation.zip with SOUND:
it needs /system/media/bootanimation.zip
and the the audio /system/media/#####.mp3
and then you need to add audio text to desc.txt in bootanimation.zip
Example:
480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
s weareelectric.mp3
p 0 0 part1
EDIT: this not work!
add sound files to /system/media/audio/ui (RENAME SOUND TO Bootsound.mp3)
now it need to have sound when android booting!
post had been viewed 87 times ! .... so many thanks for responding,
believe me I have tried what works on your Motorola to no avail .. and have googled my heart out..
I see many posts where what you advise definitely does work on other phones, but not on my damn Blade !
so I can only assume that it must be something to do with the Blade's kernal or roms, or perhaps the fact that it is now a Gen 2 with a custom Android 2.3.4 ?
in desc.txt I have:
480 800 20
p 1 0 part0
s Bootsound.mp3 ... (I even tried this on different lines)
p 0 0 part1
and I have even got copies of Bootsound.mp3 in all these folders: data/local, system, system/media, system/bin, and system/audio/ui
I have even tried adding the mp3 to the zip file !
I continue to live in hope, and will also have a go at that framework-res.apk you mention.

Just a thought... Did you try using an OGG sound instead MP3?
it didn't work ....
but I think you may be onto something as all the sound files in audio/notifications etc are oggs.
I will have another go later today, and particularly with editing desc.txt as I assume that when it is referenced as below sound should play after part0 ?
480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
s Bootsound.ogg
p 0 0 part1
I will not give in, and may put 's' line in other positions, and even try a path on it eg: s system/media/Bootsound.ogg or whatever
nb: as stated I have googled extensively ... my zip file is not compressed, and paths to my pics are in the zip ok .. in fact the whole animation is fine.

While developing a game I found that some OGG FX sounds were played by my device and some were not played at all, depending on some codification parameter.
Just to be sure, is the OGG file you used a conversion made by you from the original MP3? If so, then try to use one of the OGG files already present on "/audio/notifications", copying it to "/system/media" of course.
I'm stiil soldiering on,
but did find something that intrigues me ...
I found a file named just 'bootsound' in /system/bin, copied it to my PC and browsed it with a hex editor.
I could find no occurrance of the word sound in it,
but desc.txt appears as does the phrase 'boot animation disabled' which I find peculiar since my animation itself works fine.
I'm probably (certainly ?) getting a bit desperate here, but does anyone know if this has any relevance at all ?
still not winning, still soldiering on ...
but
I found a file named just 'bootanimation' in /system/bin. copied it to PC and browsed it with a hex editor. (see my screenshot)
there is no ocurrance of the word sound in it,
but desc.txt appears as does the phrase 'boot animation disabled' which is peculiar as my actual animation works fine.
I'm probably (certainly ?) getting paranoid now, but does anyone know if this file has any relevance to sound problem at all ?
Hey I Just remembered:
I edited init.rc for Samsung Jét (JetDroid) [Android boot mode..]
init.rc have sound text and boot animation + boot sound text!
I cant unpack/extract or something boot.img because I don't know how!
it is too difficult!
so add this to init.rc
# bootsnd
setprop audioflinger.bootsnd 1
If you want check Samsung Spica init.rc more to get something for Blade the you can check it here: https://github.com/MadRocker/alt-init.rc/blob/master/spica_init.rc_default
EDIT: add this too
#service bootsound /system/bin/playmp3
# user media
# group audio
# oneshot
P.S. I checked many many many ROMS and them don't have ´playmp3 file on /system/bin/ so maybe it needs other file name..?
thanks, but this may be beyond my expertise actually.
from a quick google, it seems to me that editing init.rc is similar to editing command.com in the days before Windows.
not sure if I want to go there, but may consider it.
I'm golfing tomorrow, so won't be able to post any real progress for 24 hours or so.

EDIT: these didn't work but maybe in CM7 works!
I will try them soon!
EDIT: WORKS!
you need to download: bootsound-vision-CM-signed.zip Nb: DO NOT FLASH IT!
you need to add files to ROM and then you need to edit META-INF folder files:
you need to use: CM Blade-full-159 (NIGHTLY) You can edit META-INF folder files yourself if you want to get booting audio to other ROM!
bootsound-vision-CM-singed-zip :---> http://www.mediafire.com/?g29td6bgqasxaws
Now you have sounds on boot: it says DROID
you can change it to adding your sound file to /system/media/ and you need to rename it to: android_audio.mp3
Download my attach file: and replace it on ROM
Click Thanks button if this helped you at least little bit! =)
P.S. It's rebooting 2 times (Green Android logo) and then it's booting fine! and you hear the song!

FINAL EDIT:Can anybody developer make this much better for Blade?
@manumanfred ...
you have me a bit confused here,
it seems you are saying you got the above working on your Blade, which would be absolutely fantastic !
my confusion is as to why you advise getting a CM7 nightly, as well as the CM sound patch ?
I did know from Modaco that the patch does work with Cyanogen roms, but it did not with my Blue Gingern.
so, hopefully is it simply that you are advising that I add your file(s) to my current rom and re-flash, or add to my phone directly ? ... is so, to where ?
I have opened Blue Ginger in Winzip, and it does have 6 'meta-inf' references. (see my screen shot)
but I have not yet been able to find a meta-inf folder on my phone, I use Es File Explorer.
your zip has 11 files (one is a Windows thumbs.db) but the filenames do not match those in my pic.
sorry to be so long winded and stupid here, I am trying to understand !
since success is so close then I do not want to mess up at the 11th hour after all your kind efforts and hard work.
oops ...forgot the piccy

@manumanfred ...
you have me a bit confused here,
it seems you are saying you got the above working on your Blade, which would be absolutely fantastic !
my confusion is as to why you advise getting a CM7 nightly, as well as the CM sound patch ?
I did know from Modaco that the patch does work with Cyanogen roms, but it did not with my Blue Gingern.
so, hopefully is it simply that you are advising that I add your file(s) to my current rom and re-flash, or add to my phone directly ? ... is so, to where ?
I have opened Blue Ginger in Winzip, and it does have 6 'meta-inf' references. (see my screen shot)
but I have not yet been able to find a meta-inf folder on my phone, I use Es File Explorer.

I didn't found other so this for CM 6 and 7 and maybe it works on other ROMS make copy of your blue ginger ROM if sound files not work..
open cm-sound file .zip folder
now you see these folders system and META-INF
select system
then you see these folders: bin and media
open bin folder and move/copy files to Ginger Blue ROM
now you need to edit these files: CERT.SF and MAINFEST.MF
How to edit them:
