[BOOT ANIMATION]The Screaming Droid! Now With Sound!!! (Updated 3/13/11)

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable Download 320 x 480 flashable to system/media
Screaming Droid Boot Animation 480 x 800 This is just the boot animation, rename and install where needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 480 x 800 This flashable installs to the data/local folder if this isn't where you need it use the above bootanimation.zip and place it where its needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 240 x 320 This installs to the system/media folder if this wont work for you i'll post the bootnaimation.zip and you can push it or you can pull it out of the flashable and push it.
Push Instructions:
use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but try all 3 just in case
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media or /data/local or system/resource/customize
or with term app
first copy bootanimation.zip on your SDCard
run terminal
and write
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(now you can write to /system)
("browse" to location, where you have copied bootanimation.zip, if it is in root of your card)
#cd /sdcard
(you can check if it is there)
#ls
(now just copy it)
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media

This is a flashable zip, I only produce flashables as pushing stuff is a pain in the ass for most people. I like flashables as they take the guess work out of installing things. This flashable works with AOSP roms though.

Very nice is it simply flashable in recovery with stock rooted rom for desire?
thanks

Yes the zip is flashable its only mdpi resolution right not but if requested i'll make a hd one. It gets flashed to system/media which is the aosp standard if you need something different just ask.

Is the hd one for the desire ?
and the mdpi version is still fully compatible with the desire resolution?

mdpi is the only one I made which has a resolution of 380 by 420. I think on higher res phones it gets stretch but I can't guarantee, it wont hurt your phone to try it though at the worst it'll just have black edge where the resolution falls short.
If you want a higher res one just post me your resolution and I'll hook one up later tonight. To make it flashable to your device I need to know what device you have and what rom you run, since this flashable is for AOSP roms and tries to place the bootanimation in the media folder.

The desire screen res is 480×800 if you can make a compatible boot animation is very apreciated very thanks otherwise i try the mdpi version

Honeycomb Original Boot Animation

.
Hi there ppl, here I post you a link to a lil modified version of the original honeycomb rip boot animation that will work in our Arias fullscreen. Is just the dimensions changed in the desc.txt file but it'll save you sometime (as I had to go all the way to get how boot animation worked q: )
Here how it looks on a Nexus S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAoqgAzKyQ
If you're running CM7 it should be as simply as replacing the bootanimation.zip located in /data/local/ with this one (use root explorer or ES file explorer with root explorer option to navigate there). If you're running another ROM (and you dont have a bootanimation at /data/local/) take the second version and flash it in recovery. Not sure if that would work (havent tried) but it'll replace the animation found at /system/media/ folder as our Arias are s-on still.
Bare Version (just drop it in /data/local/)
Recovery Flasheable Version (replaces bootanimation found at /system/media/)

Neither way works breh
Edit: CM 7rc

There's really no science to have it, you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ (that folder is hidden, you need root explorer to get in there, is in the phone memory, not the sdcard)

The original is in /system/media. Putting a bootanimation.zip in /data/local will supercede the original. It looks great on the aria. Thanks for the port.

It should work on any rooted phone, CM or not.
Also, there's no need to use root explorer. Just place bootanimation.zip on your sdcard root and open Terminal Emulator:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Works like a charm.
Some of the versions floating around have white flashes between the loops - this one fixes that:

Perhaps I did it wrong, but the image appears rather pixelated to me during load up.

Awesome. Cheers!

The white flashes happens when there are foreign files inside the folder with the PNGs. In most case, a certain thumb.db hidden file I think we all have meet before

You can try cooking your framework and add the HC boot animation @ the UOT Kitchen

Looks awesome Darius, thanks for sharing.

Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

Thanks this is awesome. Took me a while to install it. Running liberated 2.2 based on the gratia release and none of the above methods worked. Finally replaced the boot file in system/customize/resource with this one and flashed the whole Rom thru recovery no wipes. Worked perfectly.

Wow, it looks great and the install was a piece of cake. I don't really spend much time watching the phone boot, but it's cool anyway.

awesome boot animation, but i'm curious about changing the boot image like the one in the video to like a picture in my gallery?

thanks for this!! worked like a charm.

can't get it working, running FR008.

HTC White-screen
I used Root Explorer to drop the file into the right folder, and when I rebooted the phone (multiple times), it got stuck at the HTC Screen.
Not worth the hassle...at least for something that lasts less than a minute.

Did it wow for a complete noob, if no one doesn't know how to do this shouldn't be rooted at all lol.
1. Get root explorer
2. Download his bare version and put it right on ur sd card so u can find it
3. Then go to phone on root explorer go out of where it first takes u via back button
4. Copy the bootanimation.zip
5. Then it'll have a option to paste hit back button it will take u back to where u were
6. Go to data/local/ and hit paste
7. Reboot and watch the awesome boot!

Better yet:
Copy the bootanimation.zip file to the ROM zip file (system/media folder) and THEN copy the ROM file to your device using your choice of file exchange.
The first thing I do with new ROMs is to delete the files I don't want or need (like the language files) and add those I want to have (e.g., the original CM7 email app that supports color-coding accounts).
You can also replace the ROMs bootanimation the same way.
I've significantly reduced the size of the ROM by getting rid of unnecessary ring tones (who needs 50 of them?), programs (e.g., ROM Manager), and wallpapers (e.g., smoke, other useless ones).
I can shave typically 5-7 MB off the size, which may not seem like a lot, but helps.

Use root explorer.the other 2 you used don't get write permission
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

how do i remove the sound if i had already flash the sound for my boot animation?

use root explorer to browse to /system/customise/resources/ and delete android_audio.mp3
or use adb in command prompt
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/customise/resources/
rm android_audio.mp3
you can always type "ls" after you do /system/customise/resources/ to look for the sound file.

thanks for the quick reply !
my boot animation will hang... but it still can be loaded into android.
any idea how to solve it? i change the framerate from 15 to 10 and it still hang ..

is it one you downloaded or you made? framerate 15 = 15/100th of a second, correct me if im wrong there.

I pasted the file into system->media and on boot the animation was lighting fast so i changed the value from 15 to 8 in that file in the zip, saved and pasted it back into system->media and now i get no boot animation. i then pasted it into data->local and still nothing

[Q] Bootanimation

Hi all, ive just upgrade my optimus 2x to V10b, the bootanimation now is not the original LG bootanimation but it is a starhub bootanimation, then ive changed the bootanimation at /system /media by replacing the bootanimation.zip with a new one, it is a success but the shut down animation still shows starhub animation, can anyone show me how to replace the starhub shut down animation??

check in /system/app/PowerOff.apk the shutdown animation should be there..

ok, how do i edit it??

besides that, can anyone upload the stock power_off.apk file and stock bootanimation.zip file??

Here is PowerOff.apk, dunno about the bootanimation

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a "hijack", i'll try to stay within the borders...
OK, just to start off these are my stats:
Android Version 2.3.7
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-10132011-Nightly
Build GWK74
Baseband: 1035.21_20110720
My question is, i've seen mentioned to go look in the /system/media for the bootanimation.zip. When i peek in that directory i see a bootanimation.bak
I can't seem to find a .zip.
I'm still new at all this, so be gentle

.bak is just a backup file from something ...
use root explorer for example to display system directories correctly ...

There won't be any differences between the files displayed with root explorer... ES file explorer is really very good.
If you have a boot animation during start of the phone there must be a zip file somewhere..
I've read that an alternative place for the zip file was somewhere in data, data/local I think? This is to enable non root phone to be customized.. There's a thread about this in this section.

OK, so it's good to know i wasn't missing anything eith ES. Even tho, i still cannot seem to find a bootanimation.zip anywhere
So far i've looked in:
/system/media/ only had a bootanimation.bak
...i've tried all others mention, and nada.
But i do have a bootanimation.zip there somewhere... and have been able to change it using BAC LITE. Could it be that maybe Rom Toolbox (having the option to diable boot animations) placed it somewhere else?
But just as a catch up, when i boot (with the option all boot animation disabled in RT) i get the plain white LG logo, then switches to a fancier coloured LG logo (and then a skateboarding Android or simple "Android" if enabled in RT).
Again, thanks got the helps guys...

You can mount system through recovery. It should be easy to find.
But to change bootanimation just delete the original .zip and place the new one there, set permissions and done.

Which ROM are you using? The location of the bootanimation will vary depending on whether its like stock, or sense, or added bootanimation by dsixda ROM kitchen (you get the idea here).

A file explorer app like solid explorer or es file explorer lets you mount /syste m

im using the es explorer but i can't see any system location.

I would actually recomment root explorer for this simply cuz it doesnt have so much eye candy and everything is easier to see.
But nevermind that,in order to go to the system files (not the SD card files) you have to go to settings and tick all the boxes under root settings (or something with a similar heading). Then take the bootanimation you want (copy it).
The bootanimation for the ROM is different depending on the ROM. On AOSP and AOKP ROMs its in the /system/media folder. Simply rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case you want to change back. Paste your bootanimation and rename to bootanimation.zip. Then set the permission to rw-r-r.
I dont know where the bootanimation in Sense ROMs are though but the process is still the same.

Bootanimation locate in system/customize/resource
