How can I change the boot audio for Oxygen? I tried several things already, but I can't get the audio to work!

hey guys, im running rc7 also s-off but i have never been able to find the local folder... anytime i enter data/ its empty...
ive tried with different file managers but still empty.
any ideas?

not sure, but
I use cyanogenmod 7 rc2 (gingerbread) and had to put my bootanimation.zip to system/media/bootanimation.zip
Perhaps you've to put it there too, because the roms are very similar.
try it.

How can you add audio at boot? I mean were to put the file?
I copied an mp3 (that I used with another rom as a boot audio) into /system/media/ but nothing happened.

Alternate method to flash Boot Animation without PC
There is an alternate method to change the Boot Animation for HTC Desire without computer section for abd push.
1. Download Boot Animation Changer Lite, it needs Root.
2. Launch and Choose Change Animation
3. Select any Animation from the list and Install it
4. It'll backup the Stock animation in sdcard\bootanimStock folder as bootanimation.zip
5. Using any File Manager - Astro or Root replace the bootanimation.zip with the desired boot animation file (make sure you name the file as bootanimation.zip)
6. Relaunch the application
7. Choose Advance Settings
8. Select Restore Stock animation and reboot
9. You'd see your desired Boot Animation running
Cheers!!!

Good to know!

I am looking to back up my default bootanimation, but I can't find it in /data/local.
Can I still push it to /data/local without worry?

Default bootanimation is in /system/media. If there is a bootanimation in /data/local, it gets displayed first. If there are no bootanimation zip files in both The folders, it displays the default android logo animation.

In /data/local, all I see is a folder called tmp;
In /system/media, all there is is a folder called audio;
I don't see any bootanimation.zip at all :/
I'm running Cronos 1.2.0, so I know it isn't the stock Android logo animation.

Cronos does not have a bootanimation.zip file. Just put the bootanimation file to data/local and reboot.
The cronos bootanimation logo is inside the framework-res.apk file, in the assets/images folder.

Thanks! That worked for me. I imagine if I delete bootanimation.zip, it'll revert to the default Cronos boot animation?

Yes, it will default back to the original cronos bootanimation.

Hi sileshn,
Moto APAC leak-25*1 from you can use this animation? If can, how?

Push the bootanimtion.zip to /data/local.

I tried doing the above instruction but cant able to succeed. No boot animation is playing after the brand logo and my phone’s touch is not working…do anyone face this error?
help me out of this….
regards

what about a red version of it instead of a violet / pink one?
but very nice work!

Thx, worked great with liquid ROM.
Rename it bootanimation.zip push with root explorer to system/media, and change permissions to 2-1-1
That's what I did. U should .bak any other bootanimations in media folder. Hope this helps

How to flash boot animation?

How do I flash my bootanimation.zip file through terminal emulator?

Just use root explorer or any other file manager with root rights and copy it. No need to flash.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

What of I want to revert? How would I do that through terminal emulator?

what rom are you using? Depending on the ROM, you navigate to where it is with a file explorer, rename the stock to whatever, copy the animation .zip that you want to the same folder (renaming it what the stock was, exactly) and you're done.

Royal Ginger 1.5
So I download the stock boot animation and put the files into the bootanimation.zip file I already have?

I'm assuming you've downloaded a zip file from somewhere. Do not unzip it, just rename it to "bootanimation.zip" and place it in the directory that holds the original bootanimation.zip file. You can always make a backup of the original first.
This may depend on the rom, but usually you can put your new bootanimation.zip file in the /data/local/ directory, and the phone will use that without you having to disturb the original.

I'm trying to change my boot animation also. I changed the zipped file to bootanimation.zip. How do I access System/media ? When I mount, it just opens the sd drive on my computer.

You need to be rooted and you need to do it with your device with some kind of file manager like root explorer.

Once ur rooted u could just go into recovery and install the zip manually that's usually how I do it or download the bootloader changer app either requires root

What from you using and what animation you trying to add?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I just dont understand what you mean with: "What from you using"
I tried the SGS2 Bios from OTA app. Before flashing Speedmodkernel, it worked great.
Then I tried to replace the Bootanimation with any other.. I found that thread:
Bootanimation
I downdloaded bootanimation_v2.zip and renamed it into bootanimation.zip, then replaced it like i said in the post before..

My bad, I meant to type rom. Auto correct is killing me. Anyways, depending on the rom you're in, you will have to name the boot animation differently and place it in a specific place also depending on the rom.
If the rom you're in is aosp, then you're naming it right but it will go in system/media.
For sense roms, you will have to rename the boot animation to htc_bootanimation.zip and place it in system/customize/resource.
EDIT: I actually downloaded the boot animation myself, and I think I found the reason probably why is not working. In the desc.txt file, the screen res is wrong for our device. That boot animations res is 480x115, our supposed to be 480x800.
So do this,
Extract the bootanimation.zip you downloaded
Open and edit the desc.txt file with your file managers text editor
Change the res from 480x115 to 480x800 save and exit
Zip back the file, name it correctly, fix permissions and move it to its correctsponding place and reboot. See if that works.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Thanks for your help. But I think this is the SpeedMod Kernel blocking everything...
I tried that bootanimation which I attached just now. The desc.txt file is correct, placed in system/media but it doesn't work.
I am on darkys HD rom. Without the Speedmodkernel everything is fine. to change my THEME I had to flash the supercore kernel and then back to SpeedMod, because when I try it with the Speedmod kernel, nothing happens. Just like the bootanimation, when I try it zu replace and reboot, nothing happens xD
It has to be the Speedmod Kernel. What else?

[Q] Boot Animation using Root Explorer?

Yup thats right twas disabled. I think editing build.prop and put 0 instead of 1 in bootanimation will do..

so it works or not?
1 should be enable and 0 disable
change to 0?

MIUI Bootanimation and bootaudio

Hello, does anyone know where to find MIUI Multilingual's bootanimation and bootaudio, and the .xml file so i can edit them?

In system/media there is bootanimation.zip and bootaudio.mp3. If you want to edit the bootanimation look at desc.txt.

Thank you, however it seems that my phone still uses the IDEOS logo as bootanimation, and that one is located in "pink-screen" mode, is it okay to delete it?

You mean the splashscreen? I believe that is located in the kernel, and not easy to edit.

Well, when i boot, it doesn't use the MIUI bootanimation, it still uses stock Ideos animation, and i think that one is located in pinkscreen-mode.

Try placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local on your phone with root explorer. Then reboot, it should work

Hmm, it didn't work, and i even tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in cust/Dialect/SE/media (which is where i go when i go into pinkscreen-mode) with the MIUI one, still nothing.

Sorry, I see no reason why it won't work.. You can try to delete the whole cust folder (in pink screen), it that don't work preform a full wipe.

What ROM version are you talking about? If latest, then you should pay more attention to rom changelog. retart said there, that he turned off bootanimation for faster boot.

I found the debug.hw.bootanimation set to 1, changed it to 0, and BAM!

My only concern now is the splashscreen and that the bootaudio is loud/bad quality
