[Q] Bootanimation WITH SOUND

Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I thought that out of the box the bootanimation would play the DROOIIIID sound byte. I haven't seen this since it I started swapping roms. Anyone know how to get this back?

i believe you were hearing the sd card notification, where the default sound would have been droid right out of the box.
may be wrong though

It was part of the original boot animation, sbf'ing and using root explorer to find boot animation.zip in system/media will get it back but here's the link to the download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3tvq34aboutinj,
not sure if its complete. Unzip it and open the desc.txt file with text editor. The sound file is the Droid.ogg file. The desc.txt file also contains guidelines for changing or customizing the sound file or other files. This can also be done in absolute system app by importing the bootanimation.zip and opening the bootanimation.zip editor and then using the desc.txt editor. Both ways can be used to adjust size, fps, loop properties and sounds. I will write up an instruction thread and post it in the dev forum once I successfully create a custom (sound).ogg file and apply it to a bootanimation.zip and get it to work.

[Q] Lockscreen not working after modification.

Hi,
I have a Defy and I am running MIUI 2.4.13 on it.
I was trying to modify certain part of the V4 lockscreen and after i was done when i tried to import this modified lockscreen to the themes it simply wont show up anywhere.
Here are the steps that i followed to do the required changes:
1. Renamed (changed extension) of the lockscreen file from .mtz to .zip
2. Extracted the contents to a folder.
3. Renamed the lockscreen file to lockscreen.zip
4. Extracted the contents of lockscreen file to a folder (folders name was lockscreen)
5. Deleted the lockscreen.zip file
6. Changed the images as required with appropriate ones (images were exactly the same except for the color of images)
7. Compressed the contents of lockscreen folder to a zip file and renamed it to "lockscreen"
8. Again compressed the contents of the parent folder to a file and renamed it to "xxxxxxx.mtz"
And then finally when i tried to use this file, nothing showed up in the themes area. I dont see my lockscreen over there.
I tried doing the above using winzip, winrar and even 7zip. Nothing works.
I just want to know whats going wrong.
Thank you.

Could it be some permission issue?

I wonder

Bootanimation wont load

Hello guys,
I am new to XDA forums and also new to customizing my own Theme.
Following few tutorials and possible fixes, I did not manage to get my S4 i9505 to load my bootanimation that I created.
MY PHONE:
GT-I9505
11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte (CyanodenMod Version)
4.4.4 (Android version)
BOOTANIMATION.ZIP:
part0
image00.png - image17.png
part1
image18.png - image21.png
desc.txt
1080 1920 48
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The above is my content inside BOOTANIMATION ZIP. Compressed with WinRAR using "STORE" as compress mode. PNGs developed with Adobe Photoshop. DESC was written in NOTEPAD.
2. Copied the .ZIP into my sdcard folder form Computer.
3. Opened File Manager with escalated Root Priviliges.
4. Selected my bootanimation.zip and copied it inside system/media/ .. overwritting previous bootanimation.zip
4.1 After some suggestions on web, I also copied one copy to root/data/local
When I reboot my phone, the CyanogenMod boot is no longer, but neither does it load my bootanimation.
It just loads some standard "android" animation.
Can anybody please help me?
Best,
WW

Did you change permissions to rw-r--r-- for the file in /system/media? Did you make sure no other files were stored in the zip, like a thumbs.db file? Check, because both of these are sufficient to stop the boot animation from functioning.
Two other related issues I see. Issue one is the number of frames per second. 48 frames/second seems a bit fast. Are you sure you want that? Issue two is that you need to delete the boot animation from /data/local if you already have a copy in /system/media.

Self-made bootanimation - What's wrong?

I tried to make my own boot animation for my YT9216CJ-device which didn't work. Here's the steps I tried:
1. I downloaded a premade animation from here and previewed it on my HU w/o any issues (it has a dedicated function for preview and set the animation from a menu).
2. I extracted the downloaded zip and guessed from comparing the file sizes (zip and target-folder), the new zip needs no compression.
3. With this knowledge I made my animation from scratch, using Photoshop (made one file with layers for one animation-loop, inserted the animation in each background and exported all layers to single jpg-files.
In the source-animation the file-extension is jpg and there are two folders (part0; part1) and I simply copied the desc.txt over to my animation-folder, used the exact same picture size (matching the resolution of my HU) and same filename-structure (000000001.jpg) for my animation and tried packing up with WinRAR (compress as zip with no compression (just save)). When I try to preview the freshly-made animation on the radio, the "app" just crashes into settings-menu, so I don't want to flash it. All files ranging around similar filesizes, even the resolution is similar. Oddly enough the animation is correctly decompressed in the preview-folder.

Change boot animation of android car stereo head unit

Note: This requires a usb stick
step - 1: plug in the usb stick now go to car setting --> factory setting enter the pin 16176699 (for allwinner T5) can vary search on google.
step - 2: In factory setting click on export to usb/export setting
step - 3: Use a file explorer copy the bootanimation from usb stick to somewhere safe so that in case something goes wrong you can restore it later
step - 4: Now copy the bootanimation.zip that you want and paste it into the usb you would be asked if you want to replace it click yes [this needs bootanimation.zip not flashable zips]
its best to try and create a boot animation if possible since the resolution of the head unit varies [my Allwinner T5 has needs an animation of 1024x600 for best quality]
if that's not possible i recommend 720p/1080p animations beyond that can cause issues
if you want to check if you have bootanimation.zip or flashable file just check if the inside of archive have folders like part0,part1 etc and a desc.txt, if yes then its bootanimation.zip else flashable
if you have downloaded flashable bootanimation extract it in the extracted folder go to system --> media --> bootanimation.zip and copy it
step - 5 (optional): If you want you can also replace the boot logo/splash screen for this like before copy the original boot_logo.bmp to somewhere safe then replace it with the new boot_logo.bmp [its best to use image that has same resolution as the original]
You can download any image change its resolution to resolution of the bootlogo then convert it to bmp this way you can create a boot_logo.bmp or download it from google
step - 6: Again go to factory setting enter pin, then click on import from usb/import file then hit save, the headunit should restart and you should see the new animation/splash screen should be visible now!
