Boot Animation Sounds on Non-Rooted 2.1

I've done some searching for trying to add sounds to the boot animations, and found something about adding a boot.mp3 in the animation zip or something like that (not sure if it was for root only), which didn't seem to work for me. Is this possible without root, and if so how? Thanks, and hope this is posted in the right section.

yep, just make a sound file, name it boot.mp3 and throw it into the zip folder.

I've tried that on a non-rooted 2.1 eris, the boot animation works but the boot.mp3 that i added wouldn't play. Not sure why, tried some other things also with no luck.

I've also tried just throwing a boot.mp3 into a rooted 2.1 phone's boot animation, and it seems the same there too, the boot animation loads but the sound doesn't. Does anyone have a boot animation with sound working on a 2.1 phone? Looks like they done away with the sound from the default boot when switching from 1.5 to 2.1... looked like in 1.5 it worked off a bootscreen folder and xml file etc.. and 2.1 with the bootanimation.zip with a different setup etc..

From what I know, the sound will not work unless the desc tells it to play the sound... was there sound with the original bootanimation? If there was, you might try pushing the original files back and then trying... maybe in pushing the animation .zip, you overwrote the desc that told the phone to play the sound.. from what I have seen, the bootanimations that play sound have script in the desc file that tell it to play the sound....

the desc.txt i've seen don't have anything telling it to play the boot mp3 just the size, framerate, and folders... you wouldn't happen to know what needs added in into the desc txt would you? Don't think i've seen any boot animations with sound to check the desc. txt, mostly the ones i've seen with sound are based on the xml file type.

You are right, I just checked and it was a .xml file... what does yours use? a desc?

Yeah mine is a desc. and it seems the ones which use the xml won't work with 2.1.

did yours originally make sound?

Not after upgrading to 2.1.

I see the problem... sorry.. I am at a loss...

np, thanks for trying.

Can someone try pushing their boot sound to /data/local and name the file android_audio.mp3 and see if it plays then?

Post the BootAnimation.zip you are using. my guess is the image sizes are wrong or something like that.

Boot animation help

Hi guys
I'm trying to make a boot animation. I took the original CM7 animation and replaced the files but it doesn't work. Can anyone make this for me or tell me where i went wrong?
Thanks

I created your bootanimation, but I don't know what the screen size of your device and I do not know the fps you want, then configure it to your taste.

SWEET! Thanks dude. I figured out my problem. If I dragged and dropped my edited files it wouldn't work. If I open up the archive and edited it , it works. Probably has to do with the compression

>>>>[BOOTANIMATION]<<<[FLASHABLE] made from the nexus 6p commercial
I was bored/ unemployed and decided to turn the nexus 6p commercial into a bootanimation.
Just replace your original from system/media ( make sure you keep the original in a safe place) change permission to rw-r--r--.
Hit like if you like. Hit donate if you want too. The attached .gif is not the actual boot animation just a preview made for this post.
Here is the video used to create the boot:

******UPDATE EMPLOYED!!!!!********
If you have any request I'm willing to custom make one for you, since I'm unemployed and bored, only 30 Sec video clips please. Or any recommendations?
****UPDATE*** added FLASHABLE.ZIP

I flashed your zip file but it didn't change anything. I have been trying to flash a custom boot animation with audio for a few days and I can't seem to get it to stick. I've even used Rom Toolbox to flash but animations but all that I've achieved is actually losing my standard boot animation.
Can you please help?

Would you like the stock boot back? ( ALWAYS KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE) I'll post it below . I just noticed theres an Error in the flashable.Zip. (To add sound to your bootanimation you must save an .ogg file in the same folder and code it into the animation) .Use root explorer to replace whatever boot animation you have in the SYSTEM>MEDIA folder and edit permission to rwxr--r--

Thanks, I appreciate you helping me with the stock animation.
Can you help me figure out why the hell I can't get any other boot animations to work?

Are you doing it manually? Flashable? Or with an app?

I've tried all 3. I just can't get any of the boot animations I create to stick.

Ate you setting the right permissions? Rwxr--r-- and if that isn't working try rw-r--r--

I'm trying to create an iron man boot animation with audio. I included the audio file inside the zip file for you to see.
I hadn't thought about the permissions so I'll go check those out.

Yes permissions must be set in root explorer for the manual method to work. I will check yours out

after my initial research your png files in each folder must be consecutive i.e P1 000.png-070.png P2 071.png - 139.png Etc..... they must be consecutive. you started from zero in each Part. 70 .png per folder

If you send me your original image files ill compile them for you i just dont want to go back through and rename all your files since you already have them. ship it to me in one bulk folder

I've attached a zip file with all of the images. I renamed each one to be in exact numerical order starting at 000 and going in increments of 001.
I placed that zip file with the desc.txt file into system/media and set the permissions at 0744(rxwr--r--).
It still didn't work.... Is there a limit to how many images can be in one folder?
I attached the zip in question to this post so you can see.

I also tried setting the permissions to 0644(rw-r--r--) and that didn't work either
