Guys,
Don't know if this has been posted yet, but I figured I would throw it in here just in case (I searched around and didn't see anything - I know there's a thread out there on flashing a zip over the boot animation, but I saw nothing specific to the BootUp sound. Forgive me if I missed it). You can also manually replace the The MyTouch Boot Screen (the second one that loads with all the gaudy animations) in the same directory as listed below.
(Obligatory 'I'm not responsible for your phone exploding' notice)
Make sure you do your removing/pushing of files from your command prompt while in clockwork recovery - AFTER mounting the system.
In order to remove the uber-irritating T-mobile BootUp sound (must have root and have flashed SlideMEROOT2):
adb shell
cd /system/customize/resource
rm TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3
You can change this sound to something else as well - just rename your own file as named above. Same with the Boot Screen: just replace MyTouch_v8_Final.gif with a gif that is named the same.
To replace the file:
adb push [file location & name] /system/customize/resource
I pulled my gif from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567291
Nice find with the mp3, will give it a try in a bit.
Thankssss!
Awesome! Doing this tonight after I get done with the Fathers Day activities...
Awesome
It worked perfectly for me. I pulled a GIF of my "Stark Industries" boot animation that someone made for me on the G1 themes forum, and my 'Good evening Mr Stark, how may I assist you" boot sound I made from an Iron Man commercial. I feel like Tony Stark
And to go with it, a quick transformers boot theme. Just because I felt like making one for myself...
Sorry, forgot the desktop wallpaper to go with the transformers boot theme...
The tall one if for the lock screen.

Nice thanks

so if I wanted to use the Transformers one I would rename the sound file to "TMO_Bootup_sound" and the .gif to MyTouch_v8_Final to get it to work? and then push it out?
what about the wallpaper zip?do we just install them on the sd card?
Yep
@Ravenwulf yep thats exactly how you do it.
and the wall paper zip just gets put on the sd card right?
everytime I try the following commands it tells me it failed because it is a read only file
adb shell
cd /system/customize/resource
rm TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3
I'm working on a new kit for the transformers theme that also has the animation morph into the locked desktop, and re-timing the sound file.
And, it's done...
This kit needs you Android Mytouch Slide to be rooted.
Copy the files into your tools directory of your android-sdk and CD into it.
Then run the following commands:
adb push autobot.gif /system/customize/resource/MyTouch_v8_Final.gif
adb push transformers-hum.mp3 /system/customize/resource/TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3
Copy the following files to your SD card:
autobot-black.png
autobot-blue.png
autobot-lock.png
autobot-lockFF.png
The black and blue autobot images allow you two choices for backgrounds, while autobot-lock acts as a good lock screen. autobot-lockFF shows an example of how to edit the image to add a name to the bottom bar.

Hope this makes it simple enough to use.
(The changes are making the animation shift into the locked screen without text, and making the sound match the animation)

That would mean your phone is not rooted. None of the startup animation kits can be used without a rooted phone. Root is what gives you write access.
I know what root is and my phone IS rooted. I was running Legend to Slide until the lack of KB lights was making me nuts (no offense eugene) and am now running SlideMEROOT2 with the Matrix bootloader animation. with the way you are showing the adb commands shouldn't the supplied files overwrite the stock images?

<frowns> Yes. I never had a problem overwriting even once. Works fine on mine.
You should never be denied write access if you are root. It's just not the way it works. I would advise you can -shell into the phone and delete them first, then add them, but now I'm worried about the way your phone's acting.

just a possible theory but is it possible that it isn't acting as it should because I am running one of the bootloader animations from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705279
and maybe I need to re-flash SlideMEROOT2 and start fresh to get it to work... am a huge Transfan

Raven, Where are you trying those commands from? Are you booting into stock recovery, then applying the update to get to get to clockwork and mounting the system?

Yes, you do. The system has to be mounted and the only place you can do that from (at the moment) is clockwork. Get into there, mount, open up your command prompt and go from there
I'll update the original post w/ that info.
Trackball Wake
Push this to /system/framework/android.policy.jar.
Trackball Wake & Unlock
Push this to /system/framework/android.policy.jar.
Trackball Skip (works with stock music player only, screen must be off)
Push this to /system/framework/android.policy.jar.
Make sure the permissions on the file are the same as the original:
Code:
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
After pushing the file, reboot for changes to take affect.
This is not my work, original code pulled from CM5.0.8 and merged in by me.

Here comes the latest rooting method that works with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware.
Credits to Scotty2 for his psneuter exploit!
1. Download and unpack rootme.tar.bz2
2. Execute ./rootme (linux) or rootme.bat (windows)
3. Done.

You may also want to try SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip (modified by batman_112 to use the latest exploit).
Cheers,

Wow, actually it seems that copying files with adb push via script messes thing up I corrected the instructions, so now it will work for you, but need to copy the files manually.

Your link is broken
Try now, I got rid of installation scripts
EDIT: Now it works flawlessly. I still have no clue why copying files with .bat file messes everything up, but manual copying does the job.
why the superone reach the root sometimes so slow?
your method uses the same exploit, and works at first try
check the files plz: Invalid or Deleted File
can't download the ratc-pack --> Invalid or Deleted File
please reup - THX
EDIT: Link is OK now --> THX
Link is OK. Downloading at the moment.

I flashed my X10 with nordic FW and tried it again Step by Step... but "permission denied"... even if i remove and make the tmp directory as described...
Ok, last thing to try... After you copy the files, go with:
Code:
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
I added some screenshots to show how the process works for me.
is this a full root? i mean, is root+shell root?

Hi guys, I've noticed some people still can't get their phones rooted with SuperOneClick method. So do I, never managed to get it working Here is a simple method of rooting, using the same exploit (rageagainstthecage - credits to author). This is quick and 100% guaranteed to work but I'd rather recommend it to advanced users.
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator from the market http://bit.ly/9B46Nl
2. Download and unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?s0428zxc7n50i28
3. Plug in the phone (usb debugging mode), copy the following files with adb and change permissions:
Code:
adb push ratc /data/local/tmp/ratc
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push rootme /data/local/tmp/rootme
adb push superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod /data/local/tmp/*
4. Start Terminal Emulator on your phone and issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./ratc
5. Exit out of Terminal Emulator using BACK button.
6. Start any other application and exit out of it using BACK button.
7. Start Terminal Emulator again - note that you're running it as root (#)
8. Issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rootme
Your phone will reboot - and it's done. I suggest installing Busybox from the Market. Hope it helps.
Cheers!
EDIT: Fixed.

Finally I was able to root my phone
just one correction, you got to use chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
it was not allowing to root otherwise
i kept breaking my head using the "simple" SuperOneCLick but could not show my rage against the machine
thank you for explaining this process for Root.

Just saw this thread and wanted to root my phone also...I downloaded the files provided in the first post and extracted onto my PC. When I tried running the adb application, I only get a command window only for a split second and then it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
Everything works fine until the final step where I write ./rootme in the emulator.
Before the phone reboots, it says something right after, something about superuser.apk.
Once the phone is back on the emulator goes back to $. As well as not being able to download Busybox.
Appreciate your efforts
EDIT: No worries, I managed to get root using SuperOneClick (finally!). It was rather sketchy, would've preferred your way tbh.

Install by copying to /data/local. Full instructions from fone_fanatic:

3 Options to install.
First step: Extract downloaded .zip file to reveal "bootanimation.zip"
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /Data/Local
Then to test, set your device so display is in landscape (will not display properly if you have it on portrait and test it but will display fine either way on boot)
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard
nickshertzer said:
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command (requires Busybox / can't remember if it is installed default on Steve's ROM)
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

works great on my dell streak. just doesn't have that blue bee.
thx alod... i love the bootanimation...
works well. would be nice if it was a higher rez though. some pixely parts here and there
Yes, it's possible, and yes, it's pretty much exactly the same process as on your phone. If you've done it there, you can do it on Wear.
Oh, apologies if this is old news to you, but I couldn't find threads on this particular topic, and I'm quite satisfied that it worked, so why not share.
Now, the stock Wear boot animation is great. I personally love it, at least -- so why change it? Well, why do we do most things on XDA? Because we can. Do at your own risk, I take no responsibility if you screw up. Take these notes as suggestions. I mean, they work, but you know. Backups are always a good idea.
tl;dr for people who don't need help with adb:
push the bootanimation.zip to /system/media (back up the original!), then
chmod 644 bootanimation.zip
reboot
done.
Stuff you'll need:
1. An Android Wear device (any should do, I have a Sony Smartwatch 3) that has root access and ADB debugging enabled
2. A custom kernel that has adbd insecure (I used this)
3. ADB drivers on your computer
4. A boot animation. Duh. I used this for testing purposes because the resolution is meh x close enough.
Optional: a file explorer that works on Wear. I use ES.
How to do it (the way I did, I know there are other ways):
1. On your computer: move the .zip file your animation comes in to the folder where you have ADB installed. It's probably something like "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools".
2. Open a command window in that location by shift+right clicking on the folder and selecting "Open command window here".
3. Connect your watch to your computer no later than now. If prompted, allow debugging (note that if it's your first time, the prompt should show. If not, check developer settings again).
4. In the command prompt, type
Code:
adb devices
This lists the devices that are connected to your computer. You should see the text "List of devices attached", your watch's serial number, and the text "device" next to it. If you don't, check your drivers.
5. Copy the .zip onto your watch:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/
The directory doesn't actually matter, just make sure it's not /system and somewhere you can remember.
6. Why not /system? Because it's, by default, a read-only partition we can't access via normal adb commands. Yet that's where that zip is headed. This is where the adbd insecure kernel comes in: with it, you can remount /system as read-write. For that, enter the adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
It'll show (don't write this!)
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
To get the root privileges you'll need, type
Code:
su
What you should get is
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #
The # means you're rooted. If it shows without typing "su," great.
7. Remount /system as read-write by typing the following:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
8. We can now alter the partition, and we'll start by backing up your stock boot animation. To do that, we need to "move" the file to an identical file with a different name. If that sounds like it doesn't make sense, that's because it doesn't -- it's stupid, but adb shell doesn't have a rename command. This is to avoid the stock animation from getting overwritten by the new one if anything goes wrong. Anyway, to accomplish that, type
Code:
mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip1
This changes the animation's extension to .zip1, which doesn't exist. The point of this is that Android looks for /system/media/bootanimation.zip when booting up, so "bootanimation.zip1" gets ignored and is out of our way. If you'd reboot the watch now, there would be no boot animation, just a plain "Android" text (or as is the case with my 320x320 SW3, "NDROI")
9. Now we'll need to move our new animation to replace the old one. To accomplish that, use the aforementioned "move" command:
Code:
mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
10. Finally, to make the animation actually display, we'll need to give it proper permissions, which are rw-r-r. "chmod" is the command that alters permissions, rw is represented by a six, and r by a four.
Code:
chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
11. Close down /system
Code:
mount -o ro,remount /system
12. Done! Reboot your watch and enjoy your new boot animation!
Worked thanks
Gave this a try on the train on my way home from work and it worked a treat thanks now off to find some more suitable boot anims to play around with

Went looking for them and found a few, thought that I would share.
There appears to be a size limit to what boot animation can be used (at least with my Sony Smartwatch 3), the biggest file used being ~3000KB.
