UPDATE:
Links have been replaced with a zip of all the sizes and versions I made. You will need to unzip the file you download, open the folder for your resolution and you will find the zipped file ready to go for your needs. The originals are also included for anyone who wants to do their own tweaking, etc. Sorry for any delays. Hope you guys enjoy.
I managed to find a little free time this holiday season and created a boot animation out of the new Call of Duty Black Ops II intro. I don't get a lot of free time outside of work and my family or I would spend more time doing more animations. However, I know this is late since the game came out last month. But here are the many different resolutions, and choices of landscape or portrait animations. A little preview is in order to start things off:
Landscape:
Portrait Versions:
Now, on to the good stuff.
Here are links to download one of the many flavors that best suits your device and the basic instructions. I tried to include the most popular screen sizes as well as include a download for the actual video's and files I made / used to create these animations.
ANIMATIONS:
Landscape:
All sizes
Portrait:
All sizes
Portrait Wrap:
All sizes
DISCLAIMER:
If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.
Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me, Crackanug. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.
If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the appropriate resolution for your device.
2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)
3. Change the name of the audio file to whatever name your phone uses as well. (i.e.: "android_audio.mp3" "Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3" SPC_animation_final.mp3" etc)
4. Copy the zip file and mp3 to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.
5. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/
SAMSUNG OWNERS:
Go to this thread if your boot plays without sound, or does not work at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak" same goes for the mp3 file, just add the extension ".bak" after the mp3 extension. BOOM! Done.
HELPFUL HINTS:
I have included two versions of audio files for the animations, one is the short version and one is a slightly modified longer version. If the audio is finishing way ahead of the video, try the longer "v2" audio file. If you are not satisfied with those results, there is one more thing you can try. Simply d/l the next resolution down, modify the "desc.txt" file contained within the zip to match your devices resolution. This will allow the animation to run smoother/faster and the phone will resize everything to the correct resolution all on its own. Then try either audio clip.
One more thing, if you find that the audio doesn't play, or there is an issue where neither the animation nor the audio play. Check to see if you need to modify your "default.xml" file located in the directory: /system/customize/CID. First backup the original file, then open the file in a text editor and change the following code located near the bottom of the file to match the name of your boot animation and its location. Same goes for the audio. Here is an example:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"
audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="part2" />
</BootConfiguration>
If you are still having problems, again, post a question.
Now, I better go buy the wife some flowers.
ENJOY!

What directory does your animations go in or are you using? I am not familiar with Samsung devices, hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a bit.

Same question as above, also, could you post a copy of the contents of your "default.xml" file? Again, I am not very familiar with Samsung phones, or if it even utilizes the default.xml file.

The last few boots I made turned out to be popular and everyone kept asking for larger file types and the source material. I figured I would just beat them to the punch.

If there is no pre-existing audio file contained within the /system/media directory, try placing the audio file provided in the first post within the same directory titled, "android_audio.mp3". If the audio still does not work, or this is what you have been experiencing. It is possible the maker of your rom has disabled boot sounds or it is a samsung thing (not sure which). However, I found a post from user vamsee417 who has included a couple files you place in the /system/bin directory and change the permissions to rwx,r-x,r-x for both files. The original post is below, but I have also uploaded the two files incase anyone else needs them. Keep in mind, these files are for an older model Samsung, so I am not sure if they really will work or if they might mess something up on your phone. I suggest doing a search for your model phone regarding how to enable boot sounds or making a back up of the original file in /system/bin (if there is one) before copying the new ones in.

This animation looks beautiful, however I'm having some trouble with it...
I installed it on my DROID RAZR MAXX, with the 540x960 resolution.. The device boots correctly, the animation starts playing, but when it gets to the point of the B&W old lady, it suddenly freezes for a couple seconds, and then continues to play in a very slow frame rate like 1 FPS..
If I install one of a lower resolution and mod the desc file, will it work?
I'm unable to download the audios from phone and computer, plz help

Yes, by modifying the desc.txt file. It will automatically resize the smaller sized photos to your screen resolution. In turn, it should speed up the animation. If you run into more problems, let me know.

The files should now download instead of stream, or ask if you want to download or stream. The only exception is Microsoft Internet Explorer. You will have to "right click" on the link and choose "save as" from the drop down box.
By any chance did u happen to get any light on the sound issue or maybe another place to put the .mp3 file to get it to work?

I tried it and no go. Few of the ringtone seems to apear three times. I tried deleting android/data storage and media folders as well and still nothing.
I think this thing is getting on my nerves.
Can it be something to do with ringtone files themselves??? i took those files from JB version and copied them to my device. I noticed that my old ringtones appear only once, but those i took from jellybean appear twice, maybe this cause the duplicates??

delete all ringtones from system media audio ringtones , reboot , move ringtones to folder again , reboot and check again
But there is no prob with copy/paste or something in the file manager you use??? and you don`t have copied the files so sdcard or something ...
the sounds are only available in the folder "system" and no where else ...
Works the 2nd idea of "The Tox" ???

The sounds were only on internal sdcard. But I think I solved it by moving all the sounds to system/media. And change permissions of the files.
On other ICS roms it didn't matter if I leave my new sounds on internal sd , as long as I don't keep the same ones as in system/media folder.
On this rom I had to try anything even tho the sounds i added were not the same as the original from the rom sounds and were only placed on internal SD.
Never mind that. Thanks for your help guys. This problem I think is solved. I will try the same trick on alarms swell and report the results.

i really dont know, i tried so many things to solve the problem, so im not sure if the permission had any effect or not, the only thing i do know is that the ringtones now are ok, but the alarm still appear with duplicated files.
since i moving my home to a different city and im packing and a bit busy, so i dont have much time in the next few days to test this again. so for now until friday night i wont be able to play with that thing again and test what maybe the solution.
Okay so when you have time for testing, i`m interested in some infos, when available ...:good:

Hi everyone,
I have done some Google searching into this and so far have found nothing. I have searched this forum and have also not brought back any results (I use my mobile mostly and the search feature on the app doesn't seem to bring back many relevant results)
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41475588
So I'm wondering if it's just a case of changing the sound file name to lock/unlock.ogg and replacing the current files.
Is that the case or is there more to it than that?
Also when I do try to change the files (as the thread posted says) I do not have permissions. I'm going to look into the permissions but my main question is about changing the lock/unlock sounds.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Open your custom ROM or use a file explorer on your installed ROM, go to : system/media/audio/ui and change the relevant sounds ... I swapped out virtually everything from a Sense based ROM and used sounds from a GE ROM and everything works fine. There is no need to do anything else but replace the files, file for file so to speak.
I'll give it a go, are the files easy to find on here or do they take a little more searching?

Changing lock screen sounds for non rooted /stock roms for HTC One.
Hi there.
If anyone is still interested, I just found another way to change the lock/unlock screen sounds for non-rooted HTC ONEs. (I have the chinese version dual sim 802w)
Download the Lock Screen Sounds app free (also known as noisylock'd) and select an mp3 file from either your music file, ringtone or notification folder.
Now, for me, I've had a HTC desire z for the last 3 years and I absolutely adore it and I really liked the lock & unlock screen sound on it. So using the file manager,
1) From my HTC desire z, I copied the lock/unlock.ogg files from the systems folder and paste it in my media folder on the sd card.
2) Dragged it onto my pc and converted it into mp3 files online> media.io (found this site extremely straight forward and easy to use)
3) On my HTC One, I copied/dragged the saved mp3s onto internal storage>media or notification folder. (can save on external sd card too)
4) Tap on the app which now says noisylock'd and switch it on.
5) Tap on the first selection for unlock sound and navigate to where your mp3 file is and select it. Then tick the box to the left to activate.
6) Do the same for the third selection which is for the lock screen. (For some reason the middle selection wouldn't work).
This didn't work straight away and was abit fiddly when I tried to press to select the file. I also had to restart/switch off a few times before it finally worked properly. Now I have the same lock/unlock sound as my beloved, almost retired htc desire z hehehe...oh, and it's louder than the original stock sound.
On a different subject, I have a spare htc desire z on android 2.1 or 2.2 which I would like to upgrade to 2.3.3.
I want to attempt my first rooting of a phone so if anyone would be so kind to point me to the right forum link or have a beginners guide specifically for the htc desire Z? This spare one is a bit dodgy, think it's a software problem but thought I could try experimenting with it so even if it bricks, I won't be so upset Thanks in advance.
Okay so this sounds minor but one of the reasons I was looking forward to 4.4.2 on the HTC One was to have those awful typewriter keypress sounds changed to the more subdued ones that arrived with 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 2013. Unfortunately the old keypress sounds remain on the HTC One after the KitKat update.
So I attempted to copy the keypress sound files from my Nexus 7 located in /system/media/audio/UI/ and overwrite the same files on the HTC One. I did this and it seemed to work. However, once the phone reboots the keypress.ogg files are seemingly being overwritten back to the annoying typewriter sounds. Anyone know why this is or how to stop that from happening?
Thanks!

I would also like to figure this out. I hate the "typewriter" sounds. I've replaced the files in the same folder that the OP mentioned with sound files that I would prefer (named exactly the same as the originals), but it doesn't work. I can even completely delete the keyboard sound files in that folder, but the typewriter sound still exists. Strange.
I'm using an LG G2 on Verizon, now running a custom ROM, if that matters.

This is old but I thought I would answer. There is a security setting that KK 4.4 has that needs to be disabled. Its called S-Off. Find a doc or YouTube video on how to disable it. If you don't disable it, any changes you make to system files are reverted.
Hi all,
I use a couple of apps that I use custom notification sounds for. However, when I test or get a notification on said app, the Note 9 "seizes" the notification and plays the default notification. IOW, my custom setting has no affect. So I miss the event in question. Happens on multiple apps, so I know it's the phone.
This thing is amazing, once I got other things straightened out. It really is the Star Trek tricorder. ?
Any ideas? Help much appreciated!
Rich
Bumping this... anyone?
Try a reboot. Should work after the first reboot when you add custom sounds so I doubt it is a legit fix. Something else must be going on.

Have you tried deleting your ringtones or sounds and pasting them back in folder? I'm just throwing mud at the wall here. Once I paste in the folder if it doesn't work right away a reboot let's the OS see it. Is it regular mp3 or ogg format also?

They're ogg format. Tried everything you said. I put custom notification sounds in 0/notifications and it works fine on every other device I own, reboot or not so I know it's in the phone or Oreo. The app (Space Launch Now) lets me set any notification sound I want and has a test button. When I do the test or get a notification the phone won't see the custom sound and plays the default notification anyway, after several reboots also.
This YouTube video is for Note 8 But its the same procure for the Note 9

I Am Having the Same Issue!
Hi Rich, I’ve had the exact same problem and have spent likely 10-20 hours trying to get this to work over months worth of time. I started with Android Pie (9) and Samsung UI 1.0, and had the issue. Recently, I hard-reset my phone, and installed Android 10.0 and UI 2.0, and nothing has been fixed. Also, I exchanged my phone when I first noticed the issue under the old operating system, and both phones are experiencing the same issue!
I select customs sounds for some apps (under Notifications), but they will not sound. Samsung/android takes over the notification and plays the default sound. I have a newer Note10+, on T-Mobile. In fact, yesterday I was working with a senior tech support person at T-Mobile, and we tried everything. He had a Note10+ there, tried changing to the custom sound, and his device also did not work, did not change it to the custom sound!
Just wondering if you ever got this to work, or have you found any workarounds? I would really, really appreciate your response!
Thanks, Dave
I had this exact same issue. I had to strip all of the tags from the mp3 files and put them in the 'notifications' or 'ringtones' folders. Once I did that, they appeared in the built-in media picker and also worked when using esExplorer to set the ringtone or notification.
