[q] sgs2 boot sound not working - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have read through all the posts regarding bootsound for my rom and others and also other phones and have tried many different options.
I have tried for 5days 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, and no luck hearing sound on boot up.
The volume is set as high as possible, all volumes.
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 tried with BAC app and still nothing.
I have westcrips Resurrection remix 1.4 and 1.5 kernel supplied. I have also tried thoravukk kernel and nothing.
What should I do?

somethimes after u flash kernels the sound goes off,some kernel support sound an some dont..

bootsound
i thought that might be the case, so i tried it with stock kernel that comes with Westcrips res remix (cm9) and then i flashed thoravukk kernel and tried sound again and still nothing.
Would you know what kernel i could try that actually does support bootsound??

better ask this in the remix resurection thread,,,i am on stock an yes i do flash an for me too some roms don give the boot sound,but coming to auto everything works...

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I am unable to post yet in that forum because I am new

Location is >>> for ICS system /etc PowerOn.OGG.

Thanks for that. I've tried that file aswell. I don't suppose you have a working poweron.ogg file.
I used a converter to convert original sgs2 sound poweron.wav to .ogg but I'm hoping my issue is simply incompatible format or size. Its really doing my head in.

From stock rom .

Unfortunately I can't download the file, it keeps trying to download but it each time as it starts it fails. Can u post it on here at all?

If it is CM9 base it wont work. Its to do with the system vold. Samsung run a different system vold, vold.stab and several other files. Better off a samsung based ROM that has been modded to be mostly AOSP.
I will be uploading one very soon, but I am still testing. Bootsound works. it was own of my requirements.
Check out dynamic or anyone in the list of Touchwiz based ROMs even though they may not look TW they will have the required files.
Also siyah kernel seems to support this along with all the other cool stuff like FM radio etc. Use it. It also allows for duel boot systems i.e. you can run two OS and you it supports CM and Samsung which is even better. no need to change kernels at all

This this
Hello,
Try renaming the file to:
boot_audio
and this should be im mp3 format. Place it on this path:
system/media
reboot and check.

[Q] How to set own bootanimation.zip on 2.2??

Okay, let's go straight..I've been flashed two ROMs from eugene's Macnut R12 and Team Whiskeys' Obsidian V3, which are both roms competible to change bootanimation.zip. So, i found the .zip that i want and just place it under the /system/media/bootanimation.zip and reboot.
Not work and instead of Not shown any log, it boot into Stock Android.
Please...Can anyone help me to solve it, i just want to change a bootanimation into something i like??
i cant find bootanimation.zip inside media.i can see bootani.qwg file. how to replace it??
Might seem like a simple question but did you take out the original bootanimation.zip before you put the new one in? Also you have to set the permissions correctly. Try again and pull original out and put on sdcard. Put new one in and check permissions. Then reboot. I've done this many times, so not sure why it didn't work for you.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media but rather a bunch of bootani.qwg files, your kernel doesn't support it. I know the Bali kernals do, as most Voodoo injected ones do too.

[Q] Boot Animation - Proper Kernel

I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!

[Q] Custom Bootscreen on Vibrant

Is it possible to run a custom bootscreen on the Samsung Vibrant via stock ROM? I am operating off a stock rom (UVKA7) and the link below mentioned compatibility with running a custom boot animation. Problem is, I am having a hard time getting this to work.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...boot-animation-on-your-rooted-android-device/
The page mentions copying over bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ folder but I find no file in this folder, in fact, it appears the annoying boot screen is a bunch of images.
posible, yes
you would need to download a handpicked bootanim.zip. use super make sure to use R/W(from settings at main) and drop in in the system/media folder.
But this is only achievable through a rooted device

final thunder sound

where can i go and how do i re-install that thunder noise when the phone boots up?
Tbolt bootanimation.zip: http://bit.ly/qC9nxm
VZW initial boot sound: http://www.multiupload.com/YICXKSGZSP
Tbolt animation and thundersound for Droids that you can pull the sound out of: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9OQW2AY3
To get sound an animation working together you may have to find someone w/ a custom bootanimation binary (not sure if the stock one would work). I'd imagine someone's done it around here though.
Ok but where do we put the audio file?

Stock rom (and possibly some custom based on stock):
/system/customize/resource/
Custom Roms (really depends on the rom but for aosp/CM based):
You can place it in /data/local or /system/media or wherever you want but it's not going to play unless you either modify the bootanimation binary or add a script to run the sound using stagefright on boot.

Edit:
After thinking about it, I decided that might be a little confusing to some considering those links are for other devices. They were mainly for reference since the principle applies to nearly any device running aosp/CM based roms really. Stock roms should already have the required binaries.

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!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
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

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
