I have the Motorola Atrix 4G on 2.3.4, rooted. It runs on the stock rom. I want some help on installing sounds for the boot animations. I have seen different ways to do it and tried all of them and have not been successful. I want to know a way that works. One more thing is how to install roms without failing. I have looked in the forums here and not been successful in finding a way to install sounds for the boot animations.
maybe the themes and apps section is what you want to look:

Originally a tmobile G2 which i rooted because i got bored of waiting for them to release the update to 2.1 straight from htc.
I run launcher pro over the top of sense and all i want to know is, is it possible to have a custom boot animation. I no that it is possible with a custom rom but dont really want to do that am happy with the way it is.
ive tried adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
but all that happens is it pushes the files over but the boot animation hasnt changed
So you're still on 1.5?
You need to find the current boot animation on the system partition and replace that. There are usually two locations and these are usually referenced in bootanimation topics.
Ok guys (and gals)..
I personally have a rooted & rom'd Epic 4G. A coworker recently upgraded to their first smartphone, a Samsung Fascinate on Verizon.
Since they know nothing, they asked me to do a few things to the phone for them.
Here's what I've done so far..
Rooted (fully & confirmed) via One-Click Root. Originally tried rooting via steps found here and over on Android Central but it didn't seem to fully root. Some things would run that required root, but others wouldn't (Titanium Backup being one). Bottom line, phone is fully rooted now. Running the stock ED04 rom with no intent to change. This guy isn't a power user, just wants a few things beyond fully stock.
Issue 1 -
Next thing I wanted to do was get Clockwork Mod installed so they could do fully system backups. Tried installing the red Clockwork Mod via Odin found here which somewhat works, but the Backup/Restore functions aren't really operational. If you run a backup, it goes through like it worked, but then when you go to do a restore the first thing I noticed was all the dates on any backups made are set to January of 2000 for some reason. When selecting any of the backups present, it won't restore them. Thoughts? Link to a fully working CWM for ED04?
Issue 2 -
Wanted to flash a good kernel for him so I chose OTB Reloaded v1.6. Flashed via CWM, installed Voltage Control, and all that is working good. The only issue was that after flashing the kernel it screwed up the boot animation. Layered over top of the stock Galaxy S animation and then the Verizon one was the generic "ANDROID" animation. No huge deal, but it irritated me so I tried to fix it by flashing a "stock" Galaxy S boot animation found HERE. The issue now is there is no boot animation at all. After powering the phone on and getting the plain white text "Samsung" the screen goes completely black for a few seconds as the phone boots until you find yourself at the main screen. Any suggestions?
I've searched and looked around a bit but having trouble finding any clear info on either issue. Perhaps it's just me, but it seems like the Fascinate info and sections are very scattered and outdated?
Thanks in advance for any insight, help, tips, info, and/or fixes!!
I think by using this recovery, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021, it should fix your problems.
Cool...thanks for the link. I'll give that one a shot and report back.
my sister got Htc Rhyme and sometime it restart by itself. I cant find any information about rooting this phone.
pls help.
I used a program called HTC_QuickRoot_1.1.13_Release, though i do have s-on, and am currently in the process of flashing a different ROM. My phone is in a bootloop, softbrick right now....not sure how come all the techniques I have tried arent working. I would actually like to get it back to stock, but cant find any help
It will be cool, if anyone can make port of CM7 or MIUI rom to this phone.
Can anyone help me on putting a custom rom in my photon with pure jellybean?
Not to he a total **** but have you actually searched the forum or hell even looked at any of the threads? There are numerous posts regarding your question.

You need to root, install bootstrap recovery, unlock the bootloader, and install CWM recovery before you can install a custom romsoon like JB. I understand its rough to know exactly where to start, so searching for these things specifically will give you a sense of direction. QBking77 has great youtube videos on every one of these processes. I would suggest finding his channel and getting familiar with the steps. Some of his vids have outdated links to files so youll need to use some common sense and searching but the process is generally the same.
Also, not to assume too much, but you dont seem like someone who has done this stuff before. Our JB and ICS builds have problems and are constantly updated to tinker with and fix said problems. So be aware that you will want some troubleshooting knowledge if you are going to install any of these roms as some key elements are borked and youll just have to live with understanding that.
Also before started these processes, ensure that your phone is on android version 2.3.4. If you are on 2.3.5 you will only be able to root and will not be able to use JB or ICS. Good luck. Start reading.

Somewhat savvy somewhat still a noob to root stuff.
I rooted my S4 (from ME7) recently and have been enjoying some root apps. I bought the pro version of ROM Toolbox. I love the app but for some reason I can't get custom fonts to work as well as custom boot animations. I tried installing a few different fonts and then rebooting and no luck. They don't show up in the font list either under Display>Fonts in android settings. Then with the custom boot animations I installed the Alex Grey animation, reboot, no luck. Then i tried "Disable the boot animation>Remove all boot animations" and then rebooted and still no luck.
I'm kinda confused, am I doing something wrong?

If you're running me7 then you won't be able to touch the custom boot screen. A rooted phone is different from an unlocked bootloader. There are a lot of things that can't be changed with your S4 until an unlock is found since Verizon locked it down so nicely (Note the intense sarcasm). As far as the fonts go, I was able to change the font to Zekton for all Internet browsers, but further changes caused me to send my phone into a bootloop (soft-brick). Basically, don't try to customize or flash anything on your phone until an unlock is found. I would suggest using the root permissions to utilize Titanium Backup and back up everything.

Samsung uses flipfonts. ROM toolbox's are not flipfonts.
Samsung uses a .qmg as their bootanimation instead of bootanimation.zip
Basically they aren't compatible at all
