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"

Update: Just realized this was in the Samsung Fascinate specific area on android forum.
Bootanination is a zipped set of images which is played when you start the mobile, Samsung uses a different tool to make bootanimation, and to make the mobile support the zipped bootanimation there is a procedure which can be easily found by googling
creating the boot animation is very easy
STEPS
1. create all the frames(images) of the boot animation and name them something like 00001, 00002, 00003, 00004 etc.(png format will be good for images, and frame's names must be according to their playing time)
2. put the frames in a folder and name the folder part 0 (if you want to loop some specific frames then put those frames in a folder and name that foder part 1)
3. now create a file naming desc.txt
4. in desc.txt if you have created 2 folders then write this :- 240 320 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
if you have created 1 folder then write this:- 240 320 30p 0 0 part0
5. select the file and folders you created and compress them using winzip or 7z like softwares
Here is what the desc.txt file does and mean.
240: is the stretched width of the animation
320: is the stretched height of the animation
30p: controls the speed of both parts of the animation, this number means 30 frames per second
1: defines how many times part0 of theanimation looped
0: this defined the number of times part1 of the animation looped (0=infinite)
part1: folder containing second part
of the animation
Note:- the Compression Level setting. It must be on store which is no compression. If you compress the animation it will not work
Name the zip file as bootanimation.zip and place in /system/media
hope it will help you create bootanimation.
Nice Tutorial, thanks a lot!
Good Tutorial...thanks...

I'm on 2 different AHD. 1 has CM 10.1 RC2/4.2.2 & the other has CM 10.2/4.3. I got the same custom boot animation on both. Its the red umbrella. Any way to add sound?

The apps:
First you will need a couple apps. You will need absolute system, root explorer and file converter. You can get them from the android market, just do a search for them. They're not free but if you know anything about root you probably already have root explorer and maybe even absolute system, but you will need file converter by ice cold apps.
The programs:
Again if you know anything or a decent amount about root you probably already have these programs but if not then download them. You will need 7Zip (preferably 7Zip) because as far as I know it is one of the only if not the only program that can zip files correctly WITHOUT compression which is mandatory because if there is any compression applied to the bootanimatiom.zip file OT WILL NOT WORK! You will also need either GVIM or Editor++ in order to properly edit the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip which we all know is what makes the boot animation work and if that is not configured correctly then, well, you're gonna be throwing things.
The method:
1.
Find the boot animation you want and download it using absolute system or from whatever source, whether it be from a forum thread or whatever. If you download it from a source other than absolute system you have to make sure before applying it you have to place it on the root of your sd card and make sure it is not named bootanimation.zip if there are other boot animations on your sd card because if they are named the same, obviously, they will overwrite eachother so name them however you want.
2.
Find the sound you want to use, it can be any sound file as long as it's short enough (or not) to play completely on boot. Download it, place it in your sd card and open the file converter app. Use file converter to find the file and once you've found and selected it select to convert it to .ogg. It MUST be converted to .ogg or it WILL NOT work. Once it is converted find the converted version ("sound".ogg or "whatever you named it".ogg) and use root explorer to move it to /sytem/media and leave it there for now.
3.
Plug your phone in to your computer, make sure USB debugging is enabled, and put your phone into USB mass storage mode once your phone is connected. Open up the files from your sd card on your computer and find the boot animation .zip you are going to change and move it to your computer. Next open up 7Zip and find the boot animation .zip file you just moved. Select the file and extract it to wherever you want to on your computer. Once you have extracted the .zip files with 7Zip go to the extracted files on your computer.
Note: (This next part will save the edited version as the orginal version so if you want to make a backup before you edit it just rename however you want or copy it into a separate folder named desc backup.)
4.
Right click on the extracted desc.txt file from the boot animation amd right click on it. Once you right click you will see an option that says either "edit with Editor++" or "edit with VIM" depending on which program you decided on (I prefer Editor++). Select the option and it will open up the desc.txt in your editor of choice. There may be a lost of guidelines in the desc.txt file for editing parts of the desc.txt but this is usually only in stock boot animations. Decide where you want the sound file to play and comment in the sound file you want to use by adding a line under the part you choose it to play at by typing "s 'sound'.ogg" DO NOT type what I wrote verbatim, the name 'sound' is just to give an example. Here is an example of a desc.txt file that has been edited to have sound:
(The red part is the sound line)
Quote:
# 540 wide, 960 tall 10 frames per second
540 960 10
# p means we're defining a part
# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite
# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part
# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second
# string defines the directory to load files from
# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter
# s defines a sound for a part
# sounds will be loaded from /system/media
# oggs with loop points will loop automatically
# only one sound will play at a time
# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds
# if you want no sound, leave blank
# droid
p 1 0 01_droid
s Fusion.ogg
# fusion
p 1 0 02_fusion
# mobility
p 1 0 03_mobility
# loop
p 0 0 04_loop
Notice the name of the sound in the desc.txt file is the same as the one I want to use. I hate to sound like I'm trying to make you feel stupid, which I am most definitely not, I just want to make sure this is detailed enough for anyone to follow.
4. Continued:
Once you have commented in the sound line, and you can add as many as you want just make sure you read the guidelines in the example desc.txt file above, save the file and exit your editor.
5. Open 7Zip and find the extracted boot animation files again with the edited desc.txt file. Make sure that the only files showing up in 7Zip are the boot animation files you extracted including the original desc.txt file that was edited and only that edited one, not the backup if you made one. In the menu bar on the 7Zip program click on "edit" and click on "select all" in the drop down menu that pops up. Next click "file" in the menu bar, move your cursor to the 7Zip option and when the drop down menu pops up click on "add to archive..." Then when the window pops up just change the name to whatever you want, select "zip" in the Archive format drop down menu, select "store" in the compression level drop down menu (you must select store or the boot animation .zip file you are creating will be compressed and as I mentioned above it won't work with compression) and then click "OK" to create the .zip file. Once it is created go ahead and move it onto the root of your sd card.
6. Unplug your phone from your computer and once the sd card is mounted open up absolute system. Go to boot animations and press menu and selct "boot animation editor." Press menu again and select "import from sd card." Find the boot animation you edited and slect it. Pres menu once it brings up the window with all the .png images and select "import" and when the window pops up prompting you to name the bootanimatiom just name it however you want and select "import." In order for the boot animation you edited to show up in your list of downloaded boot animations in absolute system you must first close absolute system and reopen it, go into boot animation editor again and it should be there. Select your edited boot animation and when it opens up the window with all the .png images press menu and select "desc.txt editor" which will open up the desc.txt file in absolute systems own editor. Scroll down untill you see the "s" line you commented in and press on it, this will open up a small window prompting you to choose the file from either /data/local or /system/media. Selct to choos from /system/media and there will be a list of .ogg files to choose from (if there are more than one you put in there). Select which one you want to play for that line. This is just to make sure the bootanimation.zip is using the right .ogg file and so your phone knows where to play it from on boot. You can change these if you want but you cannot comment lines in or out using absolute system. Once you have finished making changes or confirming the sound files press menu and select "save changes." Once it's done saving the changes press back.
NOTE: THIS NEXT PART IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MUST BE DONE EXACTLY AS I HAVE WRITTEN, IN THE EXACT SAME SEQUENCE I AM GIVING YOU.
7.Sorry for yelling hehe. Once absolute system is done saving the desc.txt file and you have pressed back to re-enter the .png images window in absolute system press home and open up root explorer. In root explorer go to /system/media where you placed your .ogg files and move them again into /system/media/audio/notifications and press home key again. Open absolute system and install the boot animation to /data/local by selecting change install location and selecting "/data/local" and reboot your phone. If the sound does not play, which it should, install the boot animation in BOTH /data/local AND /system/media using absolute system.
You should now have sound along with your boot animation. I hope you all have fun adding crazy sounds to your boot animations. The thanks button is always happy when you press it!

For some reason when i try and use bootanimation editor with absolute system, it force closes and unroots my phone so, I gotta go to recovery and erase & restore. I've just been business ES for a explorer cause it does everything I need it to, I think but as far as 7-zip & store on a PC and put it back on card, I got that down.
Did you get it working? I know you don't have to use the programs they are requesting as I used what works for me so you can do the same. I will however say the boot sound annoyed me so In the end I removed it.

Naw. Never got it. I love music. I have 50,000 songs on a hard drive and I like to theme my phones to a certain artist, including splash and boot. I've got two AHD and was gonna do 2 different ones but, without the sound.....

Scroll down untill you see the "s" line you commented in and press on it, this will open up a small window prompting you to choose the file from either /data/local or /system/media. Selct to choos from /system/media and there will be a list of .ogg files to choose from (if there are more than one you put in there). Select which one you want to play for that line. This is just to make sure the bootanimation.zip is using the right .ogg file and so your phone knows where to play it from on boot.

You should now have sound along with your boot animation. I hope you all have fun adding crazy sounds to your boot animations. The thanks button is always happy when you press it!

Notepad ++ is perfect for this job.
The P means we're defining a part
S defines a sound for a part.
So, what you have there is a boot logo with no sound.
I wish I could help you further, but you need to read the tutorial and post your issue if any and I'll help...
Let me give you a tip 4.11 stock rom's boot logo comes with sound so all I did was edit it with a new boot logo and my own sound. I guess this might be lazy, but it was fast and simple and I ended up dumping the sound about a week later. Annoying!

I did all that and still no sound AND blank screen during part1. I was just using a 2 part bootanimation.

OK, I'm using OSE ROM now and I did everything except for using absolute system. Mine goes
p 0 0 part0
s att_pu.ogg
att_pu.ogg is what I named my sound and both bootanimation.zip & att_pu.ogg are in /system/media/. Still no sound.

For Bootanimation :
ES File explore/ unrar premium
Batch image convertor
video to image converter
Pics Art
Brain
For Bootaudio :
mp3 cutter and merger (play store)
music speed changer ( play store)

PROCEDURE :
First root your device and open es file explore and granted ES root permissions
open path (device or emulated/system/media
copy bootanimation.zip/bootaudio.zip and paste it in sdcard
extract bootanimation.zip you will see some folders named part0, part1, and desc.txt
open desc.txt and copy the resolution of yours default resolution helps in creating same sizes of bootanimations that you are making its written in first line like 800x480
now start a blank project on Picsart with same resolution that You copied from desc.txt
Please Note: The animation that you see on while booting on your device all depends on the style of your Drawing that you are making
some have circular, spiral, in out all depends on your drawing
now select Color of background and apply some cool and creative backgrounds for your bootanimation
after that write your name on them with different styles or different colors made minium of 25 jpgs or pngs.. with different colors combination
after that save them with extension jpg or png
now create a folder named part0 and place all your pics that you created
You can also use batch image convertor to resize them
Now again we need our default bootanimation that we extracted there are also same folder named part0
open the folder and copy the name of pics it must be as X00000
Go back to your working folder and rename all you pics with default name that is in your default bootanimation
now save them after that create a new file desc.txt in your working folder and edit it with es note editor
Tricky Part started here all the things that you written in desc.txt will affect your bootanimation
First write Resolution of device xxx X xxx
after that write frames (easy say speed of bootanimation) it should be like this xxx X xxx xx without any spaces
on next line write p 1 0 part0
to under stand what is p 1 0 please consider to this po Post
now if you want your animation will shows repeatedly write 10 times p 1 0 part0
the more you write the more it will repeated and may affect boottime
now save file as desc.txt ..
and the final flash after all done select your part0 folder and desc.txt and compressed it by using es file explore or easy unrar
NoTe : compression level should be STORE or No compression
All Done you jus created your first bootanimation without PC.....
To check your bootanimation open rom tool box and load your bootanimation file as preview it will shows up
To set as your created bootanimation as your default press install intead of preview
Hope its is the noob friendly and easiest guide on Xda

Bro the bootanimation.zip should be compressed in store format
The es file explorer compresses it in normal format
And hence the bootanimation doesnt work
Any way to compress that in store format without pc?
Got it
My fault
Nice tut
Hello People,
Today i am going to show you how to extract bootanimation.zip from apk. So lets begin,
You would want to apply custom boot animation like the CM theme engine but as the animations in cyanogenmod are in apk format, you cannnot apply them on other Roms. But now don't worry now i have got a way to apply them to non-cyanogenmod devices.
Requirements :
Boot animation apk. I will use the one given below.
File explorer (I would use Es file explorer)
Steps :
Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.*
Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.*
Now*go to the root folder and navigate through system>media.**Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.*
Note :
You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.
