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???
Get oclf install ext2 tools and repair bootanimation

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

Just now flashed to JFD and then went straight to Axura. Should I flash to J16 then Axura??? Everything else is working great...

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!

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.

Here's a zip of the actual images used in the stock bootanimation these may help in determining the format needed.

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.
Thanks...
Gave it a try. It did something. Went from the Read Forever screen to black untill it finished booting. I think its a start. Tried the Thunder Cats file.

Just tried the other Transformers file and had the same result.

anyone try using 7-ZIP to drag/drop/replace similar-sized images into the original bootanimatoon.zip? I had some luck doing that on my intercept. I guess it preserves the original sig/align or something.
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.

Okay, so I've done lots of reading and tried lots of different things but cant seem to customize my bootanimation. I was trying to get the android piss on apple one, so I downloaded the zip file, put it on my sd card, then moved it to system/media and renamed it bootanimation.zip. This did not work, from everything I read it says this is what to do. I also tried to put it in data/local and it didnt work. I am running the newest version of eclipse rom does this make a difference? Now my phone is not playing any boot animation since i wrote over the eclipse one. any help is appreciated! THANKS!

hmm, still not working, do this just to the zip file? Maybe I have a bad download? I tried a couple other boot animations and none of them are working though. I think I deleted something else in that folder that said boot animation (something) it wasnt a zip file i forgot what kind it was. can an app or something block it from happening?
In the stock /system/media you should see two items, /audio and bootanimation.zip. you need to take your new boot animation and move it to your /system/media. Rename the old animation "bootanimation.zip.bak" and rename the new one "bootanimation.zip" set permissions and reboot.

You could also just install jrummys free rom tools app. Just dont try to use any of the cwm stuff. Boot animations worked just fine on eclipse and liberty. Should work on cm7 too...

Cannot get my boot sound to work. I successfully changed the BootAnimation, but the BootSound does not work.
Tried - putting bootsound into /system/media/notifications, then /system/media alongside the bootanimation, and both have not worked. Renamed file .ogg too both times.
Running CM7 Bat2f, Motorola Atrix 4G. Any help is appreciated!
Try putting it into /system/media/audio/ui
Maybe that will work.

Just tried that now, rebooted, and still did not work. Thanks anyways.
You can do this manually also,
Please bootanimation.zip in /system/media and changing permissions to rw-r-r
And place the sound [.ogg] file in system/media and changing permissions to rw-r-r
Do not forget to rename the old boot animations to .bak, so that you can revert back anytime
You can find some cool boot animations with sound in below links for Atrix as flashable zip,

/system/media/
I tried manually putting the files using Root Explorer in the /system/media and /system/media/audio/notifications, and the permissions were fixed every time, but still no sound plays.
My speaker works fine, btw. Again, bootanimation plays fine, just not the sound, which is non-existent.
EDIT: I'm using the Spider Pig bootanimation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227598
Are you sure the audio file is named correctly? There should also be no "spaces". Maybe it was a bad download, have you tried re-downloading the files and trying?

CM7= no bootanimation sounds
CM7 does not support bootanimation sounds, which is why you aren't able to get it working.
*Edit*Dude, I just answered this for you a couple days ago.
Yeah I know, but after google searching, I see many other individuals who are able to use boot animations/ sounds in their CM7. But none of their instructions worked for me.

Thats the instructions I followed. I'm 99% sure I did it correctly. Yet it still doesn't work.
Also, after doing this, I went to bed. I remember seeing the battery at ~45% so I didn't charge overnight. I woke up in the morning to see the battery at 5%. Wtf?! This never happened before.
Well, the link you provided states that the file needs to be in mp3 format and you said you changed it to ogg. Also, have you ran the script that is provided from the link through terminal emulator? You didn't specify if you did this step. Although it says you can just place the file using Root Explorer it still says you have to run the script from the sd card.

The things I mentioned in an earlier post was a different method I tried.
When doing the method I just linked to, I uninstalled the bootanimation.zip, which includes the sound file, and reintalled, effectively starting from scratch. And yes, when following the steps in the link, I competed all of them, including the terminal emulator.
Well, when asking for help you have to be more forthcoming with the details and provide the links up front so we all know what you are trying to do and how you are trying to do it.
Either way, I'm stumped. Good luck.

Yeah sorry, I'm not much of a forum poster, I'll be sure to do so next time I have an issue.
If anyone with an Atrix CM7 wants to try this on their own, using the link, let me know how it went!
Ok guys, I downloaded a different .mp3 file to try and use as my boot sound.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048231
So, I finished steps 1-3, now how do I adb push my .mp3 file from the adb tools folder on my computer to the /system/media folder on my phone? I want to try it this way instead of the root explorer way.
Please be clear with any instructions, I'm not exactly advanced in this subject
Thanks!!!

From what you say and the link it seems maybe the txt file in bootanimation.zip isn't pointing to the correct audio file. Probably the name of the file is wrong.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I checked the file, and it wants it as Spiderpig.ogg, which I tried before. ADB pushing is giving me errors that it cannot find the file in the location i selected, but it's in there.
Cd C:/Android/Android-sdk/platform-tools
adb remount
adb push android_audio.mp3 /system/media
I placed the .mp3 in the platform-tools folder, no idea whats wrong.
NM.............I just read through the script, and don't see anything wrong with it.
You should just use Root Explorer. It's fast, easy, and works.
I'll give this a try in the morning myself to see if I can get it to work.
Tried Root Explorer many times, using different sound files, renaming them, putting them in different folders, basically whatever could work, and nothing did. Which is why I'm trying the ADB method.
Boot sound isn't THAT important to me, but I like the challenge of trying to get it to work.
I should try on this on my CM9 HP Touchpad. Will post the results.
Unlike some people, I actually like having the stock At&t boot animation; with the sound. Would anyone be able to upload theirs?

Whoa I've been searching for this a lot, the phone already has the Google boot inside that folder and the HTC startup sound, you just gotta edit the xml, now I'm happy, hated seeing the AT&T logo a boot, that was the only bloatware left, but thanks to this now I've got the Google animation, thanks!
bootanimation problem
Gotta feeling I'll get help here so I'll post here.
So I'm running HTC m8 stock rooted verRom 2.23.502.3.
Xposed installed with sense 6 toolbox and HTC tweaker.
Trying to change boot animation but not working after trying methods suggested on xda post.
What I ended up doing was using esfile explorer and set root access went into /system/customize/resources and renamed the boot animation file to att_bootanimation.zip from att_boot up_one.zip. just wanted to see what would happen. Afterwards, I rebooted and the att boot animation changed to a quiet black screen with a flashing "android" in center. Unexpected but I prefer it over the original. But I'd still like to change it to a cooler customized one. But the various zip file I try to install in /resource place doesn't stick. So any suggestions????
Also I have busybox installed with softkeyz app. Just in case this rings a bell for anyone reading this.
Any clues would be much appreciated.
