Extend boot sound - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I been googling my a$$ off to find out how to extend the boot sound length, but which xml/smali to edit?

Do you mean boot sound situated in /system/customize/resources ?

The boot sound that plays while the OS is loading up. My startup sound gets cut off early and left with silent for about 10 secs while the ROM finishes loading. I would like to extend the sound longer through boot up.. any suggestions?

DROID DESTROYS APPLE Boot Animation - Ported for Atrix

So I thought this boot animation was pretty cool... I did a quick port for the Atrix Screen size (540x960), and it looks good. However, it needs some sound badly.
Thought I would post it here and someone could get some sound rocking on this thing. I take no credit for this, all I did was port the screen size for our device.
Here is a video of the animation:
Here is the download link:

LOVE IT! Anything that has to do with the destruction of that stupid fruit, I'm all for - that "barber" boot animation was just too.... TAME.... for me!
Good luck on getting sound for it, that would be pretty awesome!
Nice boot animation! Thanks!

How to install?
I noticed you are on Gingerbread is this for 2.3.4? And do you copy/paste into sytem/media folder or do use unlocked CWM to flash?

Boot animations should work on any build. However, if they have sound, you have to be careful about which build it is installed on.

I have some ideas for the sound and will attempt them tomorrow. Ill post a link to the mp3 and adobe audition files in case someone else with audition wants to edit it.

Was this supposed to be placed into /system/media and renamed, or simply flashed with CWM?
I executed the former approach, and had no results.
Killer animation though. Looking forward to getting it to work.
Do u cmw flash this?

Yes, the zip is set up for CWM flashing.

There's a few other ports on lower screen rez, floating around the internet and youtube... this is as close as I got to an original source: http://dev.nsbtt.com/android/bootanimations/
I found the perfect audio file for this animation, but for some reason the audio on anything I do is cutting off really short, well before the boot up is finished. I am wondering if there is a maximum play time for audio in the notifications folder.
any news?! I love this bootanimation
Sweet

I made some nice sound fx for this video
Okay, got the desc file working, but theres a couple of issues
first off, the sound starts off a little ahead at first, then the animation catches up,
second of all about 3/4 of the way through the boot the sound gets really low for some reason, so its harder to hear, maybe once i get to my real computer I can edit the mp3 to be louder after that point, but heres the mp3 and edited desc file:
just unzip, replace the desc.txt file in the original bootanimation.zip with the one in this archive
then add the bootfx.mp3 (unzipped) to your /system/media folder via root explorer
... any way someone could put instructions as to exactly how to install this, along with the sound effects, using CWM? Kinda new to the whole thing, really....
when i flash it with cmw it says installation aborted why

You are probably on the wrong version of Tenfars CWM.
Which version are you using?
Added the audio to this boot animation:

I cannot test as I am trying out CM7 pre-beta4 right now, and as far as I know CM does not support animation audio. If anyone tries it, please let the rest of us know if it works OK.
Cheers!

Looks good! CM7 boots so fast that the animation doesn't even make it all the way through

If you wipe dalvik cache it usually lets you see the full animation due to longer boot.
Looks good on the qHD display. The red really pops!
Nice boot animation!
I found the droid razr boot up sound and I have it installed and everything but is there a way to make it louder? The desc.txt thats already in this bootanimation zip was already set up so all I did was move the sound to the /system/audio/notification folder. It just plays so low.
Open up the file in an editor and bump up the volume that way. Audacity is free, I believe and should get the job done.

Was in the atrix forums and someone had already amplified the boot sound. I'm good to go now.
Score! That saved you some work/time.

How does boot time correlate to animation framerate

I'm making a new boot animation and my device takes 24.5 seconds from the first frame of the animation to the lock screen. What's the frame rate I should use and how many frames should I use?
Thanks!

I just made one a few days ago and I went with 24 as my framerate. You can use up to 30 if you want, that just means you'll have more.jpg's or.png's; therefore, a larger.zip file. My boot animation is approximately 10 seconds long. I just set it to loop. Let me know if you have other questions, bro. (Obviously, I have about 240 frames and I used jpg's as they're smaller than png's).
Edit: after playing with the boot animation I made some more, I've found using 30fps keeps the framerate stable. I created it using adobe after effects in 24fps, so I tried to use 24 for the boot anno on my device as well. We found that it slowed down my animation and messed up the timing.

So I'm going to want around 700ish frames for a 30fps framerate and a 24 second long boot animation?

I would personally make it shorter than the full 24 seconds. Maybe a 15 second boot animation and just loop it. That will keep the file size down. I'm a little surprised you have that long of a boot cycle. I'm on SHOstock2 v6.2 and if my boot ani were any longer than it is (15 seconds, max) it wouldn't finish. Of course a few seconds are used showing the Siyah logo before mine starts...
If you need any help let me know.

24 seconds is the time the Semi v18 boot animation is displayed. Doesn't include the kernel splash time... btw, does anybody know how to change that?
edit: Yes, I was going to loop it. First part is an 11-frame fade-in of an object, then the second part is the object rotating. That's 19 frames.

What program are you using for your frames? Are you drawing them individually? I use Adobe Fireworks or After Effects. Try to find animation software like that which gives the option to save as individual frames. Makes things much easier! I think Blender is free...I'm willing to help if you want.

Yeah, I'd like to get about 5 more made up or so, that would be cool. I already have one finished that I made for SHOstock ROM back on the SGH-I777 (SGS2). It never got released to the user base because Shoman was able to make his next ROM a JB so we ditched that one. I can just change the text and render it out again.

flashable zips
LGOG_Jank4AU_Bootanimation_CWM.zip - 3.59 MB
LGOG_Stock_Bootanimation_CWM.zip - 3.27 MB
*if you like this bootanimation, don't forget to thank Jank4AU*
the stock one is just the plain LG one that I got from my Bell E973. these install into you data/local therefor leaving your original intact. data/local will override system/media. essentially it'll look there first and if there isn't bootani there then it'll use the one in you system/media
or instead of flashing the stock one you could just delete bootanimation.zip in data/local and it should bootup with your original bootanimation from system/media
Should have another, new boot animation zip and video up a little later this afternoon.

I didn't try the flashable zips. I've just been putting the boot zip on my internal sd card and using ES File Explorer, moving it directly to /system/media manually. Just rename your original boot animation zip to .bak to keep it without overwriting or deleting. Try that.

The easiest way would be to reflash the rom. Or, you could try connecting it to your computer and see if you can access the sd cards that way.
