Changing Bootanimation/Startup sound

Hi I have a rooted Nexus One FRF91 Build
I want to change the bootanimation and startupsound
I was able to change the bootanimation through ADB because the ROOT version was not working.
Same with the startup sound, is it even possible to have a startup sound on a nexus one?
Guide would be nice, also is there some secret thing I need to know, I am rooted tried the guides but it did not work.

Take whatever bootanimation you want, copy to /system/media/bootanimation.zip (overwrite the system one).
If you want to retain system bootanimation but still overwrite it - copy to /data/local/bootanimation.zip instead (might not work - I'm not sure if it's ROM-specific).
Don't know about the startup sound, living perfectly without one.

My inquiry was based of this (from adroidfourms .com)
I bolded the part I didn't understand/possible reason it is not working for me
PLEASE NOTE: You must be rooted. You must reboot in order for these changes to take effect. You should have Root Explorer (although I am sure there is a way with ADB commands as well though). You may want to create a backup (CWM or the like), just in case. Also, most of the people I have seen do this are running a version of Dirrk's/jt's kernel, which allow boot/shutdown animations to be changed. The kernel you are currently using when attempting to change the animations must allow for them to be changed for this to work.
The file needed to change your boot-up animation should be a .zip file.
I successfully changed my bootup animation by doing the following:
Boot-up animation:
1) download a new boot animation .zip file (I put mine in /sdcard/downloads)
2) open Root Explorer
3) navigate to where you put the new .zip
4) copy the new .zip
5) paste it into /data/local
6) rename it "bootanimation.zip." (if it isn't already)
Also, if you want to change the startup/shutdown sounds:
Startup sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to a .wav file (using Winamp+.wav converter/iTunes)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/etc
6) rename "PowerOn.wav" to "PowerOn.wav.old"
7) navigate to where you placed the DL'ed .wav file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/etc
10) rename it "PowerOn.wav"
Shutdown sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to .ogg file (I used Winamp+.ogg converter)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
6) rename "shutdown.ogg" to "shutdown.ogg.old"
7) navigate to the DL'ed .ogg file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/media/audio/ui
10) rename it "shutdown.ogg"

[BOOT ANIMATION ] sci fi android boot animation + easy instructions

after trying several bootanimations i liked this the most...
see video
ww.youtube.com/watch?v=OgcfgvdzSso
download file
instructions:
1) download the bootanimation.zip file to your sd card.
2) use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system
top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w
then replace by copy/paste bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource
there is ur original bootanimation.zip file.
it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes
then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions
user needs to be ticked as read and write
group needs to be ticked as read
others also ticked as read
press ok
reboot
these folder locations are for the sense based roms or stock
for cyanogen/aosp just need to place the bootanimation in /data/local/
people who cant buy the app root explorer because of recession ( but can buy DHD ) just use super manager ( download from market ) . you have to enable root in settings and enable r/w when asked.
enjoy

thanks - this is cool
I like it a lot
Have installed it
Android Flashed tool is great for this
But you do need to remove battery to reboot or is is stuck with the animation running.

i still don't understand how to install it. Where do i copy and paste the animation from. Because root explorer doesn't explore the sd card does it?

copy it from the location you downloaded it. ( if you are not familiar with root explorer try super manager )
paste to the location
/data/local/ ( since you have cm rom )
for sence rom paste it to location
/system/customize/resource

Root explorer explores ALL spheres of your phone... Scroll down after you press root explorer. You should see " sdcard ".. Hope this helps ;o)

[Q] Redirected/referral links blocked? Whats up?

For some reason when I click on certain links online, particularly ones that may be referral links from slickdeals/fatwallet etc I get a page not available message and can not reach the site. I am running latest Overcom Rom but it happened with all previous Overcom roms. I restocked and this does not happen in stock rom. Once I get Overcome loaded the blocking begins again. Am I missing a setting somewhere, blocking these sites? Could it be an app? Help appreciated.

did anyone ever find a solution for this? I have been having the same issues. You would not believe how annoying it.

found some info here, haven't tried it myself yet:
http://slickdeals.net/f/3365922-Clicking-deal-link-from-android-phone-Does-not-work?&page=2
According to bfern002:
1. download and install root manager
2. navigate to system/etc/
3. find the "hosts" file and rename it to "hosts.bak" (be sure you're in R/W mode)
4. check a link which was previously not loading up. it should now load.

Seems to work. This is what I had to do on my HD2 running NDT MIUI ROM (which comes rooted by default):
1. Superuser - menu hard button - Setting - ROOT permission = on
2. Install Estrongs ES File Explorer
3. Run ES File Explorer
4. menu hard button - Settings
5. File Settings - Show Hidden Files = on
6. Root Explorer = on (also check the checkbox to always allow)
7. Mount File System = on
8. back out to ES File Explorer's main screen, press Favorites, then select /
9. system/etc
10. Press and hold on "hosts" (no quotes), and rename as "hosts.bak" (no quotes)

How to Install MOD CALL RECORDING

hi all...
i red a topic regarding call recording in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676739 but unfortunately i cant post there since i am new member..
my GNOTE currently settled on LPF STOCK ROM + kernel CFROOT...i've been following the step where to remove the phone.odex and phone_util.odex and flash the file attached on that link..but still not working...
what i've been misses.???
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Sometimes flashing doesn't work. In this case you have to put the files manually by using root explorer or similar. I used ES Explorer with root option checked.
1. Download the MOD zip file into your phone.
2. Open ES Explorer and locate the zip file.
3. Unzip it.
4. Delete phone.odex and phone_util.odex from /system/app if you have not done so.
5. Copy the file one by one from the extracted zip folder to phone /system folder. Start with folder /system/lib/hw, then /system/lib, then finally /system/app.
6. Reboot

After manually copying the files, you will need to change the permissions too.

Apparently ES Explorer did that for me. Anyway if your explorer doesn't do that for you, yes please do so otherwise it will not work. You should set it the same as the rest, which is rw,r-,r-.

@kopitalk...have you tested it..??? is it working..???
what kind of file that i have to change the permission..???
could you please tutor me...btw i have root explorer installed...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

after i extract the zip file i got 2 folder in there..:
1. META-INF
a. Folder COM
- Folder Android
- METADATA
- Folder GOOGLE
- Folder ANDROID
- Update-Binary
- Updater-Script
- CERT.RSA
- CERT.SF
- MANIFEST.MF
2. SYSTEM
a. Folder APP
- phone.apk
- phone_util.apk
b. Folder LIB
- Folder HW
- audio.primary.exynos4.so
- audio_policy.exynos4.so
c. libaudioflinger.so
above is the hierarchy of that folder...now my question regarding this...which file i have to copy on which folder destination...???
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

You just need to copy paste the files within /system folder. My guide above only talks about /system folder.
2. SYSTEM
a. Folder APP
- phone.apk --> copy and paste into your phone /system/app/
- phone_util.apk --> copy and paste into your phone /system/app/
b. Folder LIB
- Folder HW
- audio.primary.exynos4.so --> copy and paste into your phone /system/lib/hw/
- audio_policy.exynos4.so --> copy and paste into your phone /system/lib/hw/
c. libaudioflinger.so --> copy and paste into your phone /system/lib/
And yes, I have tested it to be working fine with LP9 and LPA (should be for the rest as well).

kopitalk....thank in advance for your feedback...btw which file i have change the permission..??? all of them on system folder or just phone.apk and phone_util.apk...???
i'll give a try...
