Searched through almost every thread relating to this post and found absolutely nothing. I just flashed Cog 3.0.2 and it works like a dream. The only issue is I am trying to now change the boot sound to a file of my choosing. Default has no sound file. I have looked in these place so far with no luck:
system/media
system/etc
There is no poweron.wav file anywhere and adding one i created myself did nothing.
Any sure fire ways to do this? Id really appreciate some help

sgs tools here has an easy way to set the boot or shutdown sound
Boot and shutdown sounds as well as qmg animations have been disabled in custom ROMs AFAIK. If you really need it bad, the official factory ROM will work.
I appreciate you being the only persn to respond but that is actually false. I dont have,any qmg files to mess w. I have already made a working boot ani and its zip. Not qrm. Plus alot of roms use .wav files for boot sounds....

You should have no problems inserting a poweron.wav into system/etc and have it execute upon boot up. I have created my own start up and shutdown both with and without voice and they work fine. Just make sure it is in the correct format.
Oh heck, I must have tried the wrong places. Cool! Was thinking it's /system/media/audio/ui or /system/media/audio
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.

If you are running Debloat then its in the /system/media folder.

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.

changing Stock animation
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've done a few searchs to try and figure this out on my own, but I've been coming up short. I'm just trying to get a custom boot animation on my Sprint Tab. I'm comfortable removing the stock animation and audio. I can't, however, find anyway to add my own. I've tried renaming the custom animation to bootani.qmg with the stock one deleted out. When I boot up, though, it shows nothing still and boots up with no animation. Not asking for someone to reply with a written out guide, but a point in the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!
Get your new bootanim (usually called bootanimation.zip butbif bit not, then rename it to that) then move it to system/media. Reboot and you should have been new boot anim

That's the issue. Thought that's all I needed to do, but after trying that exact method repeatedly with different animations and bootanimation.zip files, it does not work for me.
I've tried renaming the file bootani.qmg, bootanimation.qmg, bootani.zip, and bootanimation.zip.
The .qmg is the sound file so you don't need that. What video format is your animation? It isn't just the name that has to be correct, its the format and file size too.
I would suggest using the DukeNukem boot file, since we know it works, to verify the process, then go make a custom file. And be sure to post back with your results!
That would make more sense. I just sorta assumed maybe it was searching for a file name and not finding it. Will try once more with the suggested boot animation and let ya know!
DukeNukem was also a no go. :/
I don't have a sprint tab, but the system folders and files sound the same as my at&t tab. What I did was create a folder and moved the boot animation.zip, and the .qmg files in there, then moved the duke animation into the system/media folder.
So I just spent a long as time working on a bootanimation. I pushed through adb and it doesn't work... now I have almost two hundred png files that are useless and a bad attitude. Anybody have any tips on boot animation that I might have missed? The boot screen comes up black and wont show my animation at all.

is it installed in the right folder? I know on my Evo it was in a different one (system/customize), but make sure yours is named bootanimation.zip and its in your /system/media folder.
If that fails, go into your system/customize/CID folder and look in the default.xml file to see the path of where it goes
Yeah its in the right place I think I did something when I made it but I followed directions...

Yeah but I am not thinking that's the problem. Any other animation works just not my custom one.

hopefully i might be able to shed some light on what you may of over looked. happened to me way back.
1. when you made the .zip did you compress it? or did you set it at no compression/storage?
2. open your bootanimation.zip and make sure it doesnt have an extra subfolder that doesnt belong. This usually happens when selecting the whole bootanimation folder and telling it to zip, instead of the 2 sub folders. (that make sense?)
OK so it works but now I get a weird white flash during the loop part

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to let everybody know that replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the DROID RAZR in the /system/media folder works with the XT860. I know it's a minor thing, but I thought it was cool.
For updatability (and because we don't have an SBF for the XT860) I recommend to rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.orig and then copy a new bootanimation.zip in there.
if you dump the new animation to data/local it will boot up and you can leave system/media alone. either way. at least you renamed it instead of deleting. just an fyi
It would be even better if you can upload it for us
Even though I backed my original boot ani I somehow still lost it. Would someone be so kind as to upload it so I can have it just in case. Thanks
Sent from my rooted xt860
perhaps a good idea will be to upload here both animations...
As requested...
both animations!
The file should only be named bootanimation.zip and has the permissions of 644 (but it doesn't matter really) and the owner/group is 0/0 (root/root).
I know how to change permissions but what's the command for.changing owners
Sent from my rooted xt860
Change owner is chown, or it's the 2nd last option in root explorer's long click.
Sent from my XT860 using XDA App
So chown 00 or chown 11 etc

works perfectly. is it too much to ask to add here the Official Nexus Prime boot animation...in the same file format..in order to collect all working options?

I can't find a Galaxy Nexus system dump, they seem to all be removed. If you have one PM me with a link and I'll see what I can do.
do these have the boot sound as well?
I have the Galaxy Nexus boot animation, and I'll post it a little later today. If anyone is losing original boot animations, use Root Explorer, go into System Media, and rename the existing boot animation to something like "d3bootanimation.zip" (that's exactly what I did). If you're simply renaming old animations as "bootanimation.bak" or something similar, you'll end up overwriting a few from time to time, depending on how many boot animations you have on your SD. Just use a more specific label for backups, and you should be fine.

Put it in the system/media folder. Be sure to rename the boot animation that's already there.

Here's the boot animation for Galaxy Nexus. Rename this file to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/local OR /system/media (if placing the file into /system/media, rename the original bootanimation.zip file to something different so you can restore if required).
for the ones who want smth different, here is a link to a blue bootanimation.

That link no longer works. I found the the blue animation deeper in that thread, and have attached it to this post. The blue animation is working fine on my XT862 / XT883.
