[Q] oh where oh is the boot sound file? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiya everyone I'm really stuck and have been trying to do this for days and days I successfully rooted my phone and put Batista70_FoxHound_Zoule_Theme_Edition_3.0_By_SnakeS on it I then put a cool playstation 1 boot up animation on it but it doesn't have sound and I can't find the file to replace/rename anywhere I've tried looking for the solution for ages but each place they say to look it just isn't there has anyone had a similar problem has anyone got a solution ?

On my GB phone its PowerOn.wav in /etc
You'll need something like Root Explorer to find it.

where is the sound file?
Hey man I checked there but it's not there when I installed the custom do you think it moved it somewhere random?

Location system/etc
POWERON .WAV GB
POWERON.OGG ICS
Bootanimation.zip ( not sound) is system/media
jje

oh where oh is the boot sound file?
It's not there.

Then their is NO boot sound with that rom its that simple .
You put on animation but you did not put on a bootsound .
jje

where is the sound file?
ok so what would I have to do to get a boot sound on?

The answer is above - assuming the ROM effort you use will look for it.
As jje stated, in ICS you need a sound file and titled Poweron.ogg in system/etc
Most people delete the effing thing...

I would like the same and I would make it myself if I knew how to unpack the .qmg file.
here you go! enjoy
EDIT: sorry, this is the vibrant Galaxy S boot. I thought i had the I9k
How would you go about installing this via root explorer?
I'm on Obsidian v5 if that helps any.
Just move the file to system/media
V5 custom vibrant
Here you go...
You can also get it from SGStools

This contains a qmg file. If i rename the zip to bootanimation.zip it should work?
In case you were still waiting for a reply, no it should not work. A qmg file is a compressed video file using some proprietary format that gets played. Bootanimation.zips contain a series of images that are linked together to create an animation.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, so I've flashed this, and I still get that drunken clam from Team Whiskey. Is there another location the bootanimation.zip is stored? I can see everything else as far as the Galaxy S boot and sound but it flickers in between the drunken clam. Any ideas?

Don't know if you know this, but the bootsound comes from /etc/PowerOn.wav. I just renamed it to NoPowerOn to get rid of the boot sound.

check untermensch thread of the i9000 boot and shutdown animation. i have steps on what i did to get it to work on a rom modified for bootanimations.zip
whats happening is the zip you're flashing, isnt installing the qmg files to the system/media. so you'll have to push them manually with root explorer

If you move the samsungalaxy.zip file (unless that's just a flashable zip), make sure you rename it to bootanimation.zip
All it does when you move it is replace the existing one.

i noticed you are on nero v5..can you please tell me how you managed to get boot sound enabled and clam animation..that is exactly what Im trying and im stuck with a black screen and no sound..I used jbeez's korean flash that restored sound and then boots with qmg files..tried flashing bootanimatoin of clam and now nothing..no sound no animation...
for some reason I cannot drag and drop the file into the system/media folder. I am using Root Explorer. Is there something else I should know?
Select R/W in root explorer rather thn R/O

Possible to remove the stock boot anaimation?

It it possible to replace the boot animation / video with just a Samsung logo or something equally discreet? I just find it annoying. Have already turned off the sound by replacing that file with a silent one.
Thanks!
Edit: the title was naturally supposed to say "animation". Sorry about that.
Yes use the search button and or look in Themes section .

Yes, you will need the CF-Root kernel and put a Bootanimation.zip where it is asked to put in the CF-root thread in the dev section

Can't see any file called bootanimation.zip, just the twp qmg files as per above. Ideally I'd like to have static pictue (a glowing outline of an Android, to be very specific, but I'll see what I can find) as the screen is just black now that I've renamed the two files.
Can't see any file called bootanimation.zip
That would be for custom animation .
I have Android astronaut boot with opening bars of Like a Rolling Stone as boot .

Aha, easy enough. I've settled for a static glowing Android from this thread, specifically the AndroidParticles2 animation (which is very nice in its own right) where I just deleted all but one of the images. Now it just lookes like this, stylish and minimalist which is just how I like it.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] boot animation wont change

I'm not exactly sure this is in the correct section but here goes... I have downloaded different boot animations, replaced the bootanimation.zip file using file expert, made sure the permissions were the same, but when I restart my phone, i keep getting the same old factory one. Is there an extra step that I'm missing?
I forgot to mention, that I am rooted. I thought it was the file explorer program, to I downloaded root explorer, and when I tried to change the name of the original bootanimation.zip, it says that it cant because the file system is read only. Could it have something to do with my problem?

mount the system as R/W before you do anything in /system. it's at the top of the screen in root explorer.
Thanks, that did it. But now instead of the one I downloaded, all I get is the word "android"
NVM I got it now thanks again
I noticed that after upgrading to lastest OTA that the bootanimation sound doesn't play, even the stock AT&T one. The sound files are present, but they just don't play.
Any suggestions?

is this for audio during boot? My phone never played audio during the boot process. I thought it was normal.

yes, but it will be played only if mentioned so in the desc.txt inside the bootanimation.zip at /system/media/
it is unnecessarily complicated now by changing the location to the new one while the config file resides in bootanimation.zip which originally remains at the same old place.

Boot animation of resurrection remix ics pro v1.1

I just changed my boot animation, but I lose the original boot animation of resurrection remix ics pro, so someone else can upload the original one for me?Thank you very much!

You can extract it from the 1.1 zip file if you want it back.
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Just as Alta1r said... but remember to backup the current one you have (rename to bootanimationback.zip or whatever) before you put in a new one... because it will overwrite it if has same name "bootanimation.zip".
Alta1r & cyberboob ,thanks

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

I've successfully changed the bootanimation back to the original stock one by replacing the zip file into system/media, but even i put the Power on.wav into the system/etc, still i've got no sound ...
How can i solve it?!
(Using remix pro 1.1)
Thanks!
Same issue only with v1.4
I have resurrection remix ICS 1.4 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the audio working for my boot animations. It seems there may be plenty of others who would like an answer to this question. Getting bootanimations to work is no problem but the audio seems to be a mystery.

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
boot animation sound
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

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.

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.

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.
