ok so i read on XDA that you can get sound on your boot animations. i have put together a droid x boot animation and with your help i got it to "install". now, i was told to edit the "desc" text document to read:
"320 480 22"
p 1 0 android
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
so i did that. then they said to name the mp3 file "Anroid_Audio.mp3" so i did. then they said to put the file into the "bootanimation.zip" where the desc txt document and the part0 and part 1 files are. then they said to copy that and go into data, then local, then paste it. so i did. then they said to reboot the phone and it would work. so i rebooted the phone. and all that happened was a blank screen for a little while and then it went to the homescreen.
anyone have any idea on how to get this to work?
anyone? i really would like to have sound..
Lol. I would like but don't know how to make it work.
seems like no one knows
Use WinRAR to compress your bootanimation.zip, and set the compression to "Store."

tried that but then when i opened up Root Explorer on my phone i pasted it into data/local and it said it pasted but it still showed the old bootanimation. tried same with system/media. no luck :/
Hmm idk about installing it that way. Using an update.zip or pushing from ADB might be more effective.
You spelled "Android" wrong in the file name of the mp3. Maybe that's the problem.
I've never added sound to my boots, but I do have a custom boot picture and custom animation. It seems to me that the title in your txt file should refer to the mp3 by the exact file name.
Let me know if you get this working. I'd love to change mine.

why don't you browse through the original rom seeking for bootanimation.zip ?
btw by my own experience changing the original bootanimation.zip through a recovery script (aka update.zip) simply doesn't work so if its your case just do it manually with root explorer.
Hope it helps

I've changed the boot anim a number of times using a zip through recovery. However in these instances I was not the one that compiled the zip so I'm unsure about the exact process.
I belive your boot anim has to be a anim GIF along with a XML file.

On my Android 2.2 (froyo) device, the path to the bootanimation and sound file is:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/system/media/android_audio.mp3
Both are at the same folder level. Also, each 'frame' of the animation is a separate .png file in two directories. One directory has the opening part of the animation, the second directory contains just the looping part.

i have a cliq with a 2.1 rom on it. inside the bootanimation.zip is a part0 and part1 folder. part0 contains the png's for the opening part of the bootanimation and part1 has the png's for the looping part. now, do i add a line into the txt file saying "android_audio.mp3" ? and then put the android_audio.mp3 into /system/media/ ?

In my bootanimation.zip, my 'part0' folder is named 'android' (the opening part of the animation). There is no entry in the 'desc.txt' file for the audio file, it just sits in the media folder along side the .zip file, not inside it.
I just had an idea that the name of the audio file needs to match the name of the folder that has the first part of the animation. For example, my folder is named android and the audio file is 'android_audio.mp3'. If you're still having problems getting the audio to play, try naming the audio file 'part0_audio.mp3' and see if that works for you.

im not even gonna bother messing with it now. i mean the hd2 is a windows mobile phone yet it can run an android 2.2 rom. im jealous of my dad... and im sitting here with a cliq that still has android 1.5 and yet again moto has delayed the update. im ready to give up on the cliq. its got nothing out there. i mean, ive got it rooted and have a 2.1 rom on it but i just cant handle not having any development for it. but the thing is i just got my cliq from tmobile around april so im not sure if i qualify for an upgrade yet. should i maybe complain to tmoblile about moto being horrible with there updates and im not satisfied with the phone to try and get them to give me a new phone for free?
Im fairly certain you leave the sound file OUT of the bootanimation.zip. Just place it in there, and make sure the desc has the part0 sound thingy...
Didn't the older Android versions have sound in the boot animations?....Just for a brief moment. You could probably download a 1.5 rom, extract the boot animation from it, change the mp3 (and maybe something in the text file) and put it in data/local or system/media (or both) of your current rom.

This tutorial will explain how to make a custom boot animation for your droid eris by replacing the stock verizon wireless animation.
Notes:
- We will be working with .png files so be prepared to convert a video-animation to a series of pngs.
- There are other stock animations such as the HTC one and it may be possible to add another animation onto the end of the verizon wireless one.
1) Create a video animation of 320x480 resolution in Adobe After Effects, another video animating software, or create a series of images for your animation.
2) Convert that video into a series of .png files with the names: 00.png 01.png ... etc ... to 25.png (I have not attempted to use more or less than 25 png files, it may or may not work)
3) Extract the stock bootanimation.zip (provided below) into a working directory, with the following file structure...
- /bootanimation
---- /android -> should contain (00.png -> 03.png) "HTC"
---- /last -> should contain (01.png -> 02.png)
---- /vzw -> should contain (00.png -> 25.png)
---- desc.txt
4) Copy and replace the png files in the vzw folder with the pngs you just created.
5) Choose 2 .png files to be shown after your animation has completed and copy them into your /last directory replacing 01.png and 02.png.
5) Create a new zip file with the folders and desc.txt at root. Make sure to use the Store as the compression method when creating a new zip file. See picture attached to this post.
6) Use adb to send your file to /system/media/bootanimation.zip on your phone.
7) Reboot, and enjoy your fresh boot animation.
I have included my bootanimation.zip as an example. Heres a video of mine:

I thought you needed it to mount the system to RW and you can't do this until you have Root?
Also anyone willing to convert this animation from the G1 over to the eris? I really don't know anything about Photoshop or anything like that so I would really appreciate if you would convert these two animations for the eris if its possible.

How? Don't you need ROOT Acess to gain those folders
You need root to copy the zip here: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
but you dont need root to copy it here: /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Do the same steps but change the zip location and it will work.

Yea I can vouch that it works I have one that is 250+ and it works fine.
just a tip to help avoid hours of pulling your hair out..not that i did this or anything
zip up the folders within bootanimation folder, not the bootanimation folder and the folders. If you do, you end up with another directory and it won't load.

I wouldn't flash any of them. Make sure you only have the bootanimation.zip portion, and drop it in your system/media folder, replacing the existing one with it. I have a folder on my SDCard to store them by name, so I can copy and rename when I want.

Find a wav file you see fitting for your bootup sound. Download it to your SD card. Rename the file "PowerOn.wav" (this can also be done in the next step). Use Root Explorer or what have you to copy it from your SD card and paste it into system\etc. Reboot and enjoy.

You can also replace the shutdown sound with an ogg file of your choice. Make sure it is named shutdown.ogg and place it in the system/media/audio/ui folder. I have replaced both my startup and shutdown sounds with the "Droid" sound.
how do I do this on my fascinate? I took the bootanimation.zip and dropped it in the folder, but it won't do anything? Do i need to delete the verizon one or samsung ones?

You need to either delete them, or tack .old on the end of them, so that there is only one file named bootanimation.zip in you system/media folder.

Try this version I attached.
I noticed two things; there was a meta-inf folder in the bootanimation.zip that had compression on it, that means it was signed or copied in and might have messed up the compression (which needs to be store).
Then in your desc.txt file you didn't have a new line after the last line in there, so for every line you add to the desc file you have to hit enter at the end of that line.

Hi Community!
I also have the same problem, but not the same errors, because I've extra made a new line at the end of desc.txt (first I had two). I have a ZTE Blade, also known as Orange San Francisco with a resolution of 480x800 and this is my bootanimation.zip
For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Thunderbolt, here is a quick tutorial. Remember that you do this at your own risk- I take no responsibility. It is fairly simple though.
1. Download your preferred bootanimation and place on the root of your sd card.
2. Rename to "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes of course)
3. use root explorer and navigate to the /system/media folder OR /system/customize/resource folder for VirusROM (I think)
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and "Finalthunder.mp3" to "Finalthunder.mp3.old"
5. Next navigate to your sdcard, and find the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded and renamed.
6. long press and choose copy
7. now navigate to the /system/media folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
I will be trying to reach out to several devs who have made boot animations and see if they will let me post a link to them here so we can have a centralized place to get anims from. Will update as soon as I start hearing back from those devs.
How do you change the boot sound?
I was able to change this right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

rename it to:
thunderfinal.mp3.old
and it "should" work. at least it worked for me. if you change the bootanimation, just add ".old" after .zip
FYI - I don't think that is the correct location - at least it's not on my Thunderbolt. Check here: /system/customize/resource and find the VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I replaced that with one of my choice and it's working fine. The sound is there as well: FinalThunder.mp3.

It depends what rom you are using. The debloated rom has those files placed in media. I am running the debloated rom now.
Where can I download other boot animations?
In xda there are a ton of boot animations. Just use the search. I put "boot animation" in the search tab and got a ton of results.

The stock rom is:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Same as EVO not DINC, DINC called it VZW_bootanimation.zip
I've been working on a few of my own boot animations. The problem I found is that when I dropped in my own boot animation and left the finalthunder.mp3 right where it was. It no longer played the thunder sound?? I assumed that changing the name of finalthunder would make it go away otherwise it would play no matter what.
So why did it stop playing when I didn't touch it?
**EDIT
Duplicate post. Sorry!
Maybe the sound is tied to the original boot animation through a script or other file...not really sure. I am going to play around with it this week and see if I can get the sound working as I have a couple ideas myself. If I find something that works I will be sure to post back and let you know.

I'd like to know as well. I can't see anywhere in the VZW_bootanimation.zip where that file is even referenced...
Of course, I'm not exactly a scholar in this area. I just want to use a custom sound with my custom boot ani.
Thanks!

*UPDATE*
I extracted all the stock folders from the zip, I changed 1 PNG (the quietly brilliant splash in the 'android' folder), rezipped it and put it back on the bolt. When I rebooted the screen was blank BUT the finalthunder.mp3 STILL played... and there was no animation.
I kept the PNG file name that I changed the same as the original... not sure why it stopped working tho. {Note - I rename the zip (attached) after I have it on my SD card. then move it to the system/customize/resource.}
hey guys, having some problems making mine
i was able to make everything but i get no image. I made 120 jpg files for the VZW folder and placed them in their.
I then customized the HTC screenie for the android folder, and finally in the progress folder i placed a .gif (which i didn't think was a problem).
I also placed the desc.txt file as well, zipped it up and placed in in /system/media. No dice...
Anyone else having an issue or has had this issue and knows what i need to do??
edited because
Anybody got any cool boot animations running on their Tbolts yet?
Awesome this worked great. Thinks for the instructions.
okay, i need some assistance, I'm trying to make a fairly simple boot animation, but NONE of the animations ive used have worked I am obviously not doing something right, but not sure what
I can't get this to work either... I'm running DaBamf ROM and put these files in the system/media folder to replace what was there and all I get is a black screen and no sound at all... I haven't messed with the stock location of these files yet, so we'll see...
Ok this is a weird solution but it has worked for me.
1. down load the link below and flash it. When it boots up you will get the famous rick roll bootanimation that jcase put up on April 1st.
2. Go to /system/media/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with whatever bootanimation.zip you want.
3. If you want to add custom boot sound you have to name it android_audio.mp3 to replace what is there. If you don't want any sound delete the existing android_audio.mp3 or you will get Rick Astley every time you boot.
That has allowed me to change bootanimation and get custom sound each time I have replaced the ROM. If that works for you thank me and enjoy.
I have downloaded couple of bootanimations for my AHD , tested them and they worked.
I wanted to add sound to them, so I edited desc.txt and added line
Code:
s sound.ogg
audio file was converted from mp3 to ogg and placed in system\media
After rebooting, bootanimation is not playing at all, after startup logo, it shows blank screen until phone is fully booted.
I have made sure permissions are the same as original bootanimation on both zip and ogg files.
Tries to add sound to another zip file, but had same results - animation is not coming up at bootup at all.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you for any help

What are you using to create/and/or edit your boot animations with?
The only program I've had luck with is 7zip, with compression set to "store".

I started with downlaoding the droid animation zip i found in these forums unzipped it and verified contents
Next I opened the .txt file and verified what is said
720 1280 15
p 1 5 01_droid
p 1 0 02_mobility
p 1 0 03_loop
the i added s and droidhd.ogg for my sound in the location that i wanted it
720 1280 15
p 1 5 01_droid
p 1 0 02_mobility
s droidhd.ogg
p 1 0 03_loop
my sound will start as soon as the mobility folder begins if i understand things correctly.
Next I followed the advice of ATGAdmin from this thread and when i highlighted my files, added them to archive via 7zip, it brought a new window and this is where I told it to make it a .zip file and set them "store". this was key to making the sound function along with the animation.
I then place the new zipped file named bootanimation.zip and my sound droidhd.ogg in my /system/media using root explorer and moved my original animation and sound to my back up folder and rebooted. sound and animation fully functional.
I hope this helps
