Hi all
Allthough I'm sure this topic is probably to be found somewhere on the net, it's not here in my fav forum.
If you want to change your startup sound, open a reg edit and go to:
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Startup and change the WAV key to anything you want (I mean the path.)
Your start up sound wav MUST be in the windows dir on the phone, I found that out by trying, what happens is that your card isn't loaded before the all windws **** is so if you enter a SC sound you will not hear it.
If you want to change the shutdown sound, same as above but go to Shutdown there you CAN use a sound on your SC.
And EVEN if you don't turn off your phone that often it's just fun to have different sounds LOL.
For the REAL Startrek lovers check those sounds:

Have fun

What ROM version do you have? Have you tried get rid of the default Cingular startup image? The sound is easy to change/remove but the wallpaper not.
Thanks for the Star Trek sounds
Found to replace the startup/shutdown images
Replace the CWS.gif in the \windows folder with whatever you like. But this method doesn't change the very initial startup image. You will understand what i say once you try. Anyone have any idea to completely replace the statup image?
very initial satrtup image is image in rom and names as 05_MainSplash.nb, and initial startup image on external screen is 04_ExtROM.nb
Actualy I did try indeed to change the shutdown logo (and startup) but I got nothing, so I placed the original back, and it is in deed the CWS file. Even though I got an error on copy to my device it DID replace the original.
Maybe the file has to be a certai size?
If someone know!
I'll keep on playing as well ;-)

BTW: nice to see the "startrek" thread alive.
Can replace them?

I see. But is there a way to replace them with the similar *.nb files from the old DOPOD rom?
no, it is impossible to flash anything unofficial (eg new initial bootscreen) to startrek
Hello XDA! This is my first post, although I am an avid daily reader. If this is not the right place to post this then I apologize in advance.
I am working on a custom boot animation. I have everything working, including the audio file I'd like to hear as it runs. My problem is that the volume of the audio file during the custom boot animation is VERY low (~30%). I looked at the stock AT&T boot animation and there is an audio file commented out in desc.txt (#s blahblahblah.ogg). I "uncommented" it and ran it with the stock boot animation to see if the volume was the same, and indeed it was! I opened up sql editor and have looked in every database file I can find (I think) and have found nothing referencing volume upon boot up.
Is there indeed a database file that references this, and if so, what do I need to modify so the the volume is at a respectable level? Is there something (a line of code) that I need to add to the desc.txt file that will modify the volume? In a nutshell, how do I increase the volume of the audio file that I would like to be played with my custom boot animation?
Thank you for reading my post. Any/all help would be greatly appreciate!!

Hello all. I've been trying for a while to create a custom boot animation for my Evo 3d. No matter what I try I cannot get the ones I create to work. Here's what I've done so far.
I downloaded some premade ones that work just fine. I've tried replacing my images which didn't work. I've tried mimicking the desc.txt files in different ways. Tried out different combinations of folder names and splitting the animation into different parts in these folders. I've tried png files, I've tried jpegs. I have also tried several different framerates (15,18,30) to no avail.
I know I am putting the file in the correct place (/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip using adb push)
I did get it to work one time however. I replaced the images in the stock boot animation (in the android folder) and my animation played and then the second half of the stock animation played afterwards. However I don't want to see the Sprint stuff.
Please help, I'm going nuts here trying to figure this out
Please see the attachment. Thanks in advance
Not really sure but have u tried .bmp
That's way you use for the splash screen

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?180-How-to-Boot-animations-101
One thing i was having a problem with is the way i zipped it. i kept selecting zip-for best compression and it wouldn't work. then i tried selecting "let me choose compression method" and in the dropdown specified "no compression" and it worked. thats with winzip. if you are using 7-zip select compression method "store" hope that helps.
Figured it out last night forgot to update here. I found a tutorial in the general theming forum. Turns out you have to leave a blank line at the end of the desc.txt file. None of the tutorials I found on google mentioned this. After I made this change this my animation worked perfectly.
Thanks for the tips everyone.
can someone please help me out here. i want to get rid of the god awful boot animation on the new ics leak. i have tried to copy over the one that's there now and it wont allow me to. i have also tried to delete it and that doesn't work either. any help would be greatly appreciated.
System/customize/resource
Drop it in there and make sure it is named TMOUS_bootanimation and you will be all set
Oh I think there is an audio file for the annoying ass TMO jingle. Kill that too.

No problem I HATE that damn boot noise so I looked into this yesterday.
What is the best way to get in there and change the files around? I downloaded Android Commander on to my computer and even though it lets me downloads files to my PC, it won't let me do anything to the android system files because it says I need root, even though I do in fact have root.

Download to SD. Then I use root explorer. PM me your email. I got some goodies for you.
ok i am able to change the boot animation and got rid of the t mobile jingle. now i want to add my own audio file during the boot animation. what do i need to name the file to work properly. i named it just like the t mobile jingle sound but that didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated
The T-Jingle is just a ringtone, the bootup sound is named ruby_something, I don't remember what exactly off the top of my head, but it is a .wav file.
If I am going to put my own boot animation in here, can I just find a GIF of the appropriate dimensions and rename it .zip, or do I have to take each frame and convert it to a .png and put it in a zip file the same way that the default boot animation is?

no actually T-Jingle is the sound that was used on the original boot animation. as soon as i got rid of it that jingle did not sound when i loaded up the boot animation. i know the .wav file you speak of though. but if that was the boot animation sound why wouldn't it sound now with my new boot animation. there has to be some way to associate the new boot animation with what ever sound file when the phone boots up. as far as creating your own boot animation there are a lot of tutorials on this site. within the boot animation zip file there is a text file that basically tells the screen resolution and how as well as the frame rate and how the file should work. you should dl any boot animation and look at the desc.txt file. that will give you a little of an idea of how it all works.

Weird, on my phone T-Jingle.ogg is just a 3 second clip of the T-Mobile jingle ringtone sound, the one that plays on my phone at startup was ruby_something.wav, which is much longer and has the sort of rocket blast sound at the beginning and then a prolonged T-Mobile jingle.

I will open up the default boot animation and see what's doing. It is kind of confusing though because in the zip file is all of the .png files for the animation, but then there is another .zip file that has the exact same thing in it.

they both might be involved with the boot animation but as soon as i removed the t-jungle.ogg there was no sound at all when the boot animation. i will try messing with the other sound and see what happend

not quite sure about that. i just know that i was able to take a boot animation from another phone and edit the desc.txt file to the proper screen resolution to get it to work. like i had mentioned if you do a search on the site there are quite a few tutorials on how to create the boot animations. good luck

answered above in your quote
sorry for bringing up a fairly old thread, but this is exactly what i was looking for.
so i was able to change back to the stock boot animation as OP said, but I DO want the original sound to it, right now there is no sound. what is the file called and where is it located? i found the file in a t-mobile bloater zip from another thread, just no idea where it goes and what it should be called.

Im also looking for the answer, where does the sound file go?
Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Ithink you quickly answered without knowing what i and last poster asked, where in the boot animation zip does the sound file go, the link you gave me has the sound file seperate from the bootanimation zip.
I read every post in this thread and my question is not answered.

Did you even look at the link I posted in your thread? If you did, then you wouldn't be looking to put the sound file in the bootanimation, but instead put it in the required folder, that's why I linked to a tutorial, it is there for a reason.
i have the boot animation i wish to use as im already using it on my desktop computer (i did not create the anim it came in pack) its a bs7 file and from what ive read to create a bootanimation.zip i need to have the individual images and the amount of frames per second to play it at i really like this current anim how can i convert the bs7 file into a gif which i can then separate the images out of with some online converter (recomendations on that are welcome too) or better yet into the individual images im posting a new thread rather than necroing (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852621) an old one i did find this but it was too confusing to fully understand (http://xxx2806.deviantart.com/art/Extract-animation-image-from-bs7-file-326421392)
