Need some help.
I followed the effen manual to flash a new ROM for my HCT Desire HD on Monday, December 12th with absolute success (thanks to the author of that procedure). However, I have lost the start up sound file and when I boot my android, it boots in quiet mode. I searched for a solution and found many threads explaining how to disable it, but very little on how to enable it.
The problem is when I open my SDcard and look in the media/audio/notifications all I have is a facebook.mp3 file, I do not have any other files that would allow for the start up sound to open on boot.
I'm hoping someone can put some light on this topic and suggest on how I can fix this issue. Obviously, after I flashed to android revolution HD, somehow the files were deleted.
Patiently hoping..........
I am also interested in this.
When I flashed CyanogenMod 7 on my LG Optimus One,the boot sound disappeared.
I need it back too
Did you get your fix? I'm waiting on my HTC Desire HD with same problem
Normally people dont want start up sound. It just too annoy when it freeze during lesson and you can't switch it on.
To get back.
- check whether the start up sound is disabled (forgot the location of the file)
- check whether you have a start up sound in system/media. It is not in Mp3 format.
You will have either one or both missing

It is not in mp3 format as I said. Forgotten the format. You have to edit the boot animation.zip and add the sound code inside. And you can ask your rom developer to help you

I opened file manager both on my PC and with my HTC and as I said, I don't have the boot animation.zip file. Other threads have mentioned to go to media/notifications and rename it to android_audio.mp3.
Problem is there is no file named android_audio.mp3 or any other file to mention.
A thread mentions to go into media/notifications/bootanimation and change the file name for android_audio.mp3
I go to this directory and all I have is media/notifications............ there is no bootanimation or android_audio file name.
I would like to know how to re-install the bootanimation and android audio file so that I have a start up sound
Go get a bootanimation.zip with sound in xda and paste it into system/media. Then delete the one in data/local

I can't find the system/media. I can only see a media file dated Sun 22 May 2011. Where would I look? I'm new at this and have checked. I have opened disk drive on my PC as well as using the File Manager from the Market. Furthermore, where can I get a bootanimation.zip for android revolution HD 6.3.1 ?
Thanks in advance

The reason you can't see it is due to the file explorer not having root access. Get something like root explorer. A search will lead you to an animation file

For anyone wondering how to replace your bootanimation, just mount your system partition either with Clockwork Recovery or root explorer and push a bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
Here are a couple you can use:
My Evo 4g Bootanimation Thread - Sorry some say Evo 4g.
SamJamz BootAnimation Thread
Basically any bootanimation from a phone that is 480x800 should fit just fine.

Do you push the file while in recovery mode? Kinda confused about that part.
Edit: Got it, yep, you have to be in recovery to accomplish this.
Can this be done on non rooted phones? I know it was done on the nexus

Our phones are a little bit different... our bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource and renamed bootanimation.zip to TMUS_bootanimation.zip I did all this thru root explorer no adb required!
just incase, I also copied the original file I was replacing to my sdcard (if ever I wanted to go back)
Hope this helps
Here's one of my favs, R2d2 boot animation. It's already named correctly, just use root explorer, and make sure the permission is right. Ahh, can't upload zip from the app, I will when I get to my cpu
Thanks for this!
I now have a sweet Android (Cyanogen theme - in prep for CM release ) boot animation in place of the lame stock "my" scribble.
Now all I'd like to do for boot is change the stock splash screen. I've found one to use, but the instructions for applying are for the Evo and not sure I want to risk jacking something up if it's not right. It states to use fastboot to flash the splash screen onto the phone, replacing the stock. To those who know - does that sound right? Where is the stock splash located so I can back it up to my sdcard first?
Any pointers appreciated!
it looks like it u have to be permarooted for the changes to stick :-\
can anyone else confirm??

Maybe I'm stupid, but I couldn't get system to mount through Clockwork, so just copied the zip to my sd card and replaced the stock file using Root Explorer.
Worked fine, though I backed up the stock one first.

I am also in root explorer and went thru the needed folders till I got to bootanimation folder. How do you paste the renamed animation into that folder? (don't want to screw it up) copy from my sd card and paste it into the folder? Do i paste it into the folder and then tap on (mount rw)? Or do I tap on (mount rw) then hit paste. Rookie worried I might screw it up if do it wrong.

HOT! will definitely flash this if it is compatible..
Do you have the link to the bootanimation.zip for this. Splash is the static screen before the animation
Edit: nevermind I found it. Yes it runs on our phones, however the image is kinda small (uses about 1/3 of the screen right in the middle) and would need to be resized to look right.
Great post a link if we get this set up. Anyone care to pm me the process of changing the bootscreen?

I also want to change my boot animation back to the stock sgs2, I tried putting the qmg files in system/media and removing the boot animation.unicorn file, but that didn't work. did you do it manually? Or does anyone know how to on this rom?
you need to push the zip file "bootanimation.zip" into /system/media.
You need to do it with some file explorer like 'Root Explorer' when you are on /system remember set the press the button R/W on the top to give the permissions for writing on this folder
Yep, done all that, but unfortunately the rom doesn't read the stock .qmg files so ended up making a bootanimation.zip from scratch. Now just to get the audio running... I have the PowerOn.ogg file, does anyone know where to put it? Doesn't seem to work in usual system/etc folder

with the RES REMIX PRO 1.1 version, have you tried converting the .wav to .ogg format then putting it in system/etc?
Try either PowerOn.ogg/wav/mp3 or Android_audio.ogg/wav/mp3 and see how you go.
the best so far for me. excellent bat3 life. but my dcim folder creates thumbnails of almost 1GB and occupies my space. what can i do to stop this

I have tried for 3days now trying figure how to get sound to work on boot up. I have put PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.mp3 and PowerOn.ogg in both the system/etc directory and system/media directory. I've also tried android_audio.mp3 and android_audio.wav and android_audio.ogg in both directories and all 6 in data/local too and still nothing. I have Resurrection remix 1.4 with kernel that comes with (cm9). I have also tried thoravukk kernel and nothing.What should I do?

my guess would be a particular app, probably an mp3 downloader or something that has adds. take a look at the clippings and see if you recognize them from somewhere. find out what app is doing it and shut it down (clear data and force close) in applications manager, and delete the pics. or just delete the app/ find a similar one or pay for the add free version if there is one and see how you go

So I wanted an appropriately shiny boot animation for my newly Fresh-rommed Evo, and I found this page:
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-install-100s-of-bootanimations-for-your-galaxy-nexus (Full of previews, will bog your computer down!)
That phone has the same screen resolution, 720 x 1280, so most of these seem to work for me. I didn't bother with flashing them from recovery, as the bootanimation.zip file can be easily extracted and placed in /system/media using Root Explorer. Your mileage may vary. I am using Spyro at the moment, nice ICS-ish colors.
SOME of them did not work, or rather they worked, with intermittent flashes of a white screen..I am not sure but suspect it's something to do with frame rate? Anyone?
Updates.................
Directories: Your individual rom maker may have put the animation package in one of several locations. These include:
/system/media
/system/customize/resource
/data/local
I have seen still other locations used on my old EVO 4G (and new roms are coming out all the time), so if you just cannot find anything, try doing a search for 'animation.zip' from the root level, with your file browser.
Filenames: Your rom maker may have used one of several slightly different name variants for the bootanimation.zip package; it really depends on what they started out with as a base. Sense-based roms, for example, will tend to change things up. You might have an 'HTC_bootup_one.zip' instead of a 'bootanimation.zip'. You can't go wrong by naming your new package the exact same thing, and putting it in the same folder. (BUT you also have the option of deleting all oddly named animation packages you find in odd locations on your phone, and just using the standard 'bootanimation.zip' and putting it in /system/media. This is the Android standard location, and it will almost certainly look there if it can't find it elsewhere. Note that if you do this and fail to find and delete the other package, it will still use the other instead.)
Permissions: You shouldn't need to change permissions on the package file, at least that's never been an issue for me. If you are having problems there, I'd suggest trying the standard 644 setting one usually finds in the system folder, or RW-R--R--. (As long as the file is Readable by the owner, I would think that it would work.)
I can't delete or change these files! You may be using ES File Explorer, which is not the easiest app to drive. It requires root permission being set in its settings, and if you don't do that, hilarity can ensue. (I again recommend Root Explorer by Speed Software, which is not free but gives the most straightforward file browsing experience you can imagine, a big plus if you're new to rummaging around in your phone's innards!)
You absolutely cannot play with this stuff without root, so don't even try, okay? And when you want to change anything in a root-level folder, you will need to remember to set that folder RW (read/write), and then remember to set it back to RO (read only) when you are done, yes? You smart folks already know these things, I just want to make this post as complete as possible.
But I need MORE animations! I found the link above by googling 'bootanimation.zip 720x1280' so have at it!
If you've any more questions, please ask..
Worked great for me, thanks!
-Mike
What about activating sound?
Purest said:

Click to expand...

Well, if you want sound and the animation doesn't include it, it is possible to add any fairly short sound in .ogg format to the same /system/media folder, and call it with an edit to the bootanimation.zip file. (You'll need to call it from the desc.txt file inside the zip.)
Say you have a sound picked out and converted, and it's called evoboot.ogg. Your desc.txt will need to include the line:
s evoboot.ogg

I use the same rom. The file is in system/customize/resource. You have to rename the bootanimation to hTC_bootup_one.zip. Also don't forget to make the permissions match.
I am very much looking forward to trying some of these out tomorrow when I get off of work!! I've read through the two guides on making your own and implementing your own sound files. These sound very exciting as well, but I feel they are over my head still. I am going to pace myself a bit and wait to try them.. but soon I will try.. But for now there are just so many to choose from.

Could you expand on how to make permissions match. I found two files in that directory that has me confused. One is hTC_bootup.zip and one is SPC_bootanimation.zip. Which do I change? Also it seems that I can't delete the spc one to put the zip I downloaded in its place. Am I making this harder than it really is?

I'm wanting to know this too, because I tried some other boot animations from an HTC ONE series phone, and it didn't work.
These were mentioned here on the boards earlier, and I tried to use a flashable "beats" BA, but it did not work. Also tried the "suckerpunch" BA manually by going into system/customize/resource, and THAT did not work either.
A guide would be greatly appreciated, and a sticky should be made for boot animations, as well as splash screens.

Where did those animations come from that you mentioned? Cause i doubt the names are correct for this phone

Okay. First go download the boot animation that you like from:
http://tinyurl.com/co9ulfv Not sure if you can post the full links here but at least this one is clickable?
(One of the bootanimations I clicked on was bogus so use your brain. The next three brought me right to the file download without visiting a website first.) Then go into ES file explorer and go into settings and make it writable by placing a check next to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Next I found the downloaded file and clicked into it and clicked Data then local and found the actual boot animation zip and copied it to the root of the SD card so it would be easy to find. After that I renamed that file to SPC_bootanimation.zip. Now you go into system/customize/resource and delete the file labeled as SPC_bootanimation.(I saved a copy first and this must be done before you copy the file you're pasting in there. Don't know why but once I copied I couldn't delete the stock _bootanimation.zip file). Then I went back to the sd card and copied the renamed SPC_bootanimation file and pasted it in the resource directory where i deleted the original. Bingo, reboot and you will see your new animation. I did all of these steps in ES File Explorer.
Your folder may be in system/media depending on which rom you're using. I am on stock/ ultra smooth lscape Rosie by flex360.
P.S. the way I was messing up first was I was trying to rename the file I downloaded to spc_bootanimation not the bootanimation.zip file located inside of that original download in the Data/Local directory.
Also, I'm not an English major by any means, so if something is spelled incorrectly or the proper grammar wasn't used, sorry. I'm not looking for a lesson just looking to help out. heck if it's bad enough, just click on the donation tab next to my name and maybe I can afford some classes.
I'm using the bluplazmall boot animation. Looks really good.

they are correct when your running a one x rom port. thats what hes referring to joelz rom.
thanks, I can't stand the stock animation and haven't found much so far for the EVO LTE. Lots of stuff out there for the G Nex!!
what you looking for?
Ok maybe I'm just retarded, or just a little rusty on my adb. Tried this in RootExplorer, didn't work. Tried it using adb, didn't work either. It's saying /system is mounted as Read-Only. I tried an app called SUFBS and made sure that it was mounted as Read-Write, and it failed. In adb, I'm navigating to the correct folder, "adb devices" to make sure it's showing up, "adb remount" which is succeeding, then "adb push SPC_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/" and it's giving the Read-only error. I'm running ViperRom 1.2.1 and am S-Off. Anybody got any pointers? Oh and btw, I did extract the bootanimation.zip from the .zip file I downloaded from the website in the op.
I am curious what root explorer is saying when in that directory..does the button at the top allow you to set it RW?
It's not showing an icon for rw or anything. May be a different, crappier version? It's the one that came with ViperROM. That SUFBS app is very similar, and I chose rw in it, found the bootanimation.zip file on my sd card, moved it to /system/customize/resource, and it showed it moving the file, but it never showed up.
Edit: It's RootBrowser. Nonetheless, SUFBS is essentially the same thing. I'm curious though why I can mount as read-write in that app, yet adb says its read-only.
I modified this one from another zip I found online to not "loop" and drop the framerate to 30fps. Backup your bootanimation and shutdownanimation zip files in /system/media and replace with these, set permissions, and reboot.

I swear I'm not just trying to be ignorant or beat you up here by saying this, but I just thought it was kind of funny because you basically just asked a question and then answered yourself all in one sentence. Anyway to answer your question (again lol) though, yes you do need to have root in order to do this because without it the directory where the files need to be pasted will be "read only", and you will not the have the access needed in order to change it. Hope it helps [emoji106].

Boot splash needed to hide the orange triangle.
I came from the note 5 and the were severeral roms and an aroma zip that totally modded the way androids looked just starting up. No lg. no t mobile. no triangle. I wish i even knew how to start out or who to pass the information along to. To have some overall pleasant experience.

Needs to be rooted. After you back up and replace the files, you need to reboot into TWRP, find the files, hit chmod and set to 644
