I just recently moved from stock, and decided to go with Axura 2.2... I am loveng it!
When I was on stock, I had rooted and changed the bootup and shutdown animations and sounds and I liked what I had.
I have searched a while here and on Google... Everytime I find a link that looks like it has an answer and read 4-5 pages and even more sometimes, after a poster asks this question, there's never an answer.
I would like to have a boot-up sound again. I have placed the files in the right directories. I get the shutdown animation and sound I want. I get the bootup animation I want, but it remains silent. I have tried renaming the files to all lower-case and all upper-case. I have tried taking a look at the android development site on anything about bootup, but can't find it there.
Anyone have an answer???

Will that ruin the bootanimation.zip ability of the ROM?????
I worked hard on making that animation since it was 'easier' than the QMG stuff.
EDIT
Nevermind... Just tried it and still doesn't help...
Where r u putting it, system/etc? And did u rename it PowerOn.wav
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is the location, and yes... it is currently labeled PowerOn.wav. I also tried poweron.wav, POWERON.wav on.wav ON.wav boot.wav BOOT.wav...Boopt.wav... I just can't get bootup sounds... Maybe I should ask at the Axura site/forum...
Just strange it wont work only had that problem 1 time and oclf worked for me

This is getting quite annoying.
Added into the Axura 2.2 zip the bootupanimation.zip, PowerOn.wav, shutdown files and shutdown.ogg...
Used ODIN to go to JFD, rooted, installed rommanager, downloaded clockwork, rebooted into recovery and installed the rom... Still no bootup sound. To be on the safe side incase the audio file was bad, I used the stock PowerOn.wav file...
Again, boot-up animation works, no sound. Shutdown animation works with sound.
Is there some kind of script file I can look at and edit???
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm in the same position as you, kinda.
I've freshly flashed Axura 2.2.5.5. My boot animation works fine, but, like you, there's no sound. I've also tried putting the PowerOn.wav file in different directories but nothing works. However, my shutdown animation doesn't work, and neither does the sound. The shutdown folder is in system/media/video and the shutdown.cfg should be correct (012345678910 11 12 13.. etc) and the shutdown.ogg file is in system/media/sound/ui. How did you get yours working?
I tried adding
PHP:
s PowerOn.wav
as the final line in the desc.txt located in the bootanimation.zip, but this led to the boot animation not appearing. Maybe you can try this and see if its any different for you?
edit: Nevermind about the shutdown animation/sound, I got it to work. Now for the boot animation sound...
Try SGS Tools in the android market. Worked like a charm for me. Got Darth Vader sounds for the power on and power off sound. Super easy!

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I've searched all over and didn't find anything that answered my particular question...
So anyways I've installed the new Voodoo lagfix (v0.2) and it mentions being able to swap in new boot animations and it sounds simple enough but when I look in my /system/media or data/local directories I don't see an existing bootanimation.zip file to replace.
In /system/media all I have in there is an audio folder, a bunch of .qmg files, and a video folder containing the shutdown .pngs.
In data/local there is only a tmp folder with 2 .lck files.
I've tried copying a bootanimation.zip into both of those and rebooting but still got the stock samsung/verizion bootup animation. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what else I need to do to get it to use the new boot animation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Did you install just the Voodoo lagfix or the Lagfix/bootanimation/OC kernel?
I didn't know you could change it yourself without any coding experience o.o
However I do not know how to change it
But in the event someone posts how, what are some cool boot animations?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
To change the boot animation you need to make sure your kernel supports it. In the Voodoo thread there are 3 kernels.... one with just the Voodoo fix. One with the Voodoo, boot animation, and one with the lagfix, boot animation, and OC. Make sure you are using one with the boot animation change, and put a bootanimation.zip in to /data/local/ or /system/media/
You are my hero, but where are these folders? And were can I find a boot animation?

I rooted, followed the instructions on using Odin to flash ClockworkMod then applied the lagfix from the Voodoo thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804317) while in ClockworkMod Recovery which appeared to work as my quadrant scores went from ~900 to ~1700.

Oh gotcha. I guess I know what I did wrong then. I believe I only used the voodoo_kernel_0.2.zip which I guess is just the one with the lag fix.
How would I go about changing to one of the other 2 from where I'm currently at with just the lag fix?
Also I'm assuming the one I'd want to use this time is the " 1200_voodoo_bootanimation_0.2.zip" correct? I'm guessing that's the one with all 3 (lag fix, boot animation and OC)?

The folders are on the device. You can use adb commands to push the bootanimation.zip file to them. "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local"
Search online to find boot animations. Pretty easy to find.

You will need to reflash using either the 1000_voodoo_bootanimation_0.2.zip or the 1200 one to use the boot animations.

The 1200 is the one with all 3 yes. And use the same method you did before with just the Voodoo lagfix to reflash with the new kernel. Very easy and should only take a couple mins.

Just flash it like you did the first time through clockwork. Then move the boot animation zip over.

Ok cool, so I should be able to just toss the 1200_voodoo_bootanimation_0.2.zip to the /voodoo folder on my sdcard, boot into CWRecovery and reapply the zip?
Sounds easy enough. I'll give that a try, thanks guys!

just in case you didn't know the details about that:
boot music is in /system/etc and is called "PowerOn.wav"

you don't have to uninstall the voodoo 0.2 to upgrade (sidegrade?) to the new kernels with the bootanimation or OC
Just so we're clear, all these boot anim. and boot changes can be made just using Root Explorer? Yes?

Roger that.. now my only issue is trying to find a new custom shutdown animation to replace the crappy verizon one with.. It was easy to find boot animations but there doesn't seem to be many shutdown ones out there.
Anyone know of any good sites/links where I could find some?
Hi, Noob here.
Before posting this, I've researched a lot and I've still come up empty.
I'm trying to change my shutdown animation to the Galaxy S swirl with a "custom" tone - basically just removing the T-Mobile crap and leaving the Galaxy S and adding the tone. I got the the shutdown animation files from an adroidforum.
I placed the PNG files in system/media/video/shutdown. It maxed out at 64 PNG files, but there were more in the zip file. I also placed the custom tone in system/media/audio/ui - as "shutdown_128.ogg". All of this I did using Root Explorer and on the stock ROM running Froyo.
The only thing this does after following the steps is remove the jingle and shutdown animation. Nothing comes up. When I reboot or turn the phone off, a prompt screen shows up says:
Power off
Shutting down.
And it's off.
I have two questions and hoping someone can help:
1. Does anyone have another zip file containing the Galaxy S swirl shutdown animation or know if I even need one?
2. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and know how to fix it?
Please let me know if I need to provide any add'l info or files.
Thanks in advance!

1. I am sure you can search around for the shutdown, I THINK bionix might have it, just pull the shutdown folder out of the Rom.
2. Check your .cfg file in the shutdown folder. Should read the same numbers as your png's ie; Shutdown_0.png, Shutdown_1.png, Shutdown_2.png, Shutdown_3.png ect.. in your folder then the .cfg file should read 0123456789101112 ect... in it.
Also, try changing the shutdown to just shutdown.ogg and see if that helps.
how do i get rid of that loud annoying tmo jingle on a startup and yes im rooted
Load a custom rom and add whatever boot animation you want. I believe you can navigate to the system folder/media and delete it. Did that on my wires mytouch.

The easy way is to set your system volume to 0. No flashing needed.
Setting system volume to 0 worked on my phone with Eclair, but on Froyo it didn't silence it anymore. Pretty much the reason I rooted in the first place was to get rid of that damn noise! Go into /system/media with a file explorer like Super Manager, mount as rw, and either rename the startup.wav (or is it a .ogg? :shrug, our just delete it. Also, you could flash a custom ROM (Trigger perhaps?) and that would also take care of it and make your phone smoother/faster.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
You could download sgs tools (google it) and modify the boot up sound!

Just delete the file. The vibrant guide has this and a ton more. My signature.
Not that I mind too terribly much but when I installed dmesg and ran it I lost my boot animation all together. Fun.
I'm rooted on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur 2.1 or whatever the newest is. I used root explorer and made sure there is a bootanimation.zip file where it belongs. Tried manually adding different boot animation zips via rootexplorer. Nada.
Am I missing something?
You can try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, but I don't really know if it will work or not. It is a theme removal app which will also allow you to attempt to reset your boot animation to stock. Has worked for me. It will only replace the bootanimation.zip but won't change any of the settings that call it., so if those are messed up then this won't help.
Just make sure you say no to the first question in the bat or else it will maul your greyblur theming.
Awesome! Ill give that a shot once I can get on a windows machine at work tomorrow. Luckily this isn't a life or death problem.

You can also download one of the fine boot animations here in the forum straight to your device and then copy it to the /system/media directory on your phone.

Hey everyone, I'm posting this so you all can see if Bootanimations work on the nook tablet *aside from that abysmal stock animation* so let's move on, shall we?
Instructions:
What you need to do is just download,rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
you can do this by either using adb
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
or by using a file explorer.
Bootanimation
There are 2 choices.
Code:
Thundercats
Transformers (decepticon)

Added a second bootanimation to the thread.
I tried, but no luck. A couple things i noticed. One, my bootanimation file lives in /system/bin, second, i'm not sure how to match the permissions. The original file's permissions are rwxr-xr-x, third(ly) i also tried dropping the .zip extension as it's not on the original file.
Let me know what i'm doing wrong, or anything else you'd like me to try. Thanks indirect, for all your work!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TOUCH THE bootanimation Binary File in /system/bin!!! This is the Executable that RUNS a boot animation.... copy over that file and boot animations will cease to function until it is restored to the original file.
Yeah, i realized what it was after some experimenting. So i restored it, and tried indirect's instructions exactly, but no luck.

Just tried it as well and no luck.
You know on my phone, the location of the bootanimation.zip is in the /system/media folder. Maybe try dropping it there?
Yeah, try pushing it to system/media
We might need to put it in the framework-res if this doesnt work. :/

Put it in system/media and i got NO starting animation at all (which gave me a bit of a scare for a moment until the unlock screen came on) . But by having NO animation, that means its doing SOMETHING.

Hi, is there a way to turn off boot animation...I it takes about 5 minutes for my nook tablet to load...kind of annoying when you need to do something quickly.
Thanks so much!

I have the ROM toolbox app which has the ability to automatically change the boot animation, but I am not sure if I can use the application without messing up the tablet.

The 5 minute bootup is not affected by the bootanimation at all. The boot animation actually completes fairly early, and becomes a static image until the end of the bootup.
Also, the Nook Tablet uses a special /system/bin/bootanimation which, while recognizing custom bootanimations, fails to actually draw them to the screen. Thus, you end up with a black screen for those ~5 minutes while the boot process is going. It took me a long time to realize that I hadn't bricked my nook to figure that out.
The only bootanimation that works is stored in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, which can be tricky to modify, and update correctly. The snowball-mod root that I wrote has a custom bootanimation, but that's just more a side effect of fixing the white-on-white problem, (if you've already hacked one PNG in the file, hacking a few more isn't particularly hard.)
Oh ok thank you for the info. I appreciate it

Was anyone able to get their boot animation changed from stock at this time. It would be nice to have something that doesn't promote BN. This thread just kind of fell to the wayside.

You have to change the animation in framework-res.apk since that's where B&N use theirs. The normal android way won't work here.
