This requires root and ADB knowledge. The method will work for any boot animation, reference Xoom forums for additional resources.
I'm not responsible if you brick your Galaxy Tab 10.1!!!!! This has only been tested on a USA White 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1
ADB METHOD:
Code:
Download bootanimation.zip from the bottom of the post, and copy it to your directory where adb.exe is located. The included boot animation is a stock honeycomb from the Xoom animation.
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
Next, get into ADB shell and mount system as writeable:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Here is where it gets funny, in order to make the bootanimation.zip play correctly you will need to rename the program which calls the default animation to "playsoundBACKUP" and then copy/rename bootanimation to playsound. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP JUST AS I TELL YOU TO:
cd /system/bin
mv playsound playsoundBACKUP
cp bootanimation playsound
Okay, now all that is left is to copy the bootanimation.zip to the proper directory:
mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
ROOT EXPLORER METHOD, thanks Berner:
Code:
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).
2. Select /system/bin/playsound
(note - you'll need to set /system/bin as R/W here)
3. Rename to playsoundBACKUP
4. Select /system/bin/bootanimation
5. Copy/paste - new file will be named bootanimation - Copy
6. Rename bootanimation - Copy to playsound
7. Select bootanimation.zip whereever its located on .sdcard
(note - you may need to set /system/media as R/W here)
8. Move to /system/media/
TO REVERT:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
cd /system/bin
rm playsound
mv playsoundBACKUP playsound
cd ../media
rm bootanimation.zip
Go ahead and reboot your tablet, and enjoy the boot animation. There are literally hundreds of animations available, and if you search through the Xoom forum you can download whichever.
Edit: Attached are the two files which are being manipulated, for those who accidentally delete playsoundBAK and want to revert. Note, "playsound" is the actual modified file where playsoundBAK is the original stock file.
Also too, the following animation is unbelievably awesome:

thanks for this ... fun to play with ...any link/intro to the animation file (video) format ? just curious if ican make one of my own ..

Instructions work fine. ADB not required -- everything can be done with Root Explorer. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for this, mang I've been dying to mod my boot screen!
it says failed cross device link...
actually i got it but i accidently delete the playsound can you hook me up with yours?
its weird, i still get the samsung bootloader........sits for a good minute then for like 5 seconds the stock honeycomb comes up and plays then lockscreen shows up. should the samsung screen be up that long if at all?

Hey man, if i'm doing this with root explorer what do i do with the playsoundBACKUP file in the /system/bin folder? His adb commands arent very clear if using root explorer. Also what do i do with the copied bootanimation playsound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep the playsoundBACKUP in /system/bin so you can revert if you want. The copied (and renamed) bootanimation playsound also stays in /system/bin.
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).
2. Select /system/bin/playsound

Very strange. I've never seen that error on any of the 30+ Android devices I've rooted.
Please confirm, are you on a 10.1 or 10.1v (as I really don't know the differences yet).
Please try the following:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Very cool man! Thanks for putting it in laymen's terms for dummies like me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get it o work. I've changed the files and copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. The original is gone however the bootanimation is just the default android boot. The one with "android" (i.e the animation we get when using the android emulator)
EDIT: Got it to work, just needed to set the permissions.
[X][X][X]
[X][O][X]
[X][O][X]
I would also like to know if there is a way to remove the initial samsung animation the one where the sound used to play. Since the new animation plays afterwards where the bland samsung logo used to play.
Same here......
I also get the original 'blue circling-Samsung' followed by the white 'SAMSUNG' letters on my screen...Then only do I see the HC bootanimation.
Also - only after I set the permissions to 755 - maybe you should include this in your OP ?
Thanks anyway!

I renamed the bootsamsung.qmg file to bootsamsung.backup and that seemed to get rid of it, but the custom animation still only shows for the few seconds when the tablet buzzes before the lockscreen comes up.
I viewed the zip file and that is not the one that plays I set permissions but still no honeycomb boot animation! any ideas? will this work on custom rom?
step 4,5,6
use rootexplerer but somehow lose in step 4,5,6 thanks
Method 01 - Using the CWM (Easiest !!!)
Transfer the “voice.nuance.recover-v1.zip” to your SDCARD. <Step 1>
- Boot into recovery mode
- Now Scroll to “install zip from sdcard” and select it.
- Select “choose zip from sdcard”.
- Scroll to the file you transferred in Step 1 and select it.
- Now confirm installation by selecting “Yes — Install voice.nuance.recover-v1.zip”
- Once the installation is complete, go back and select “reboot system now”That’s it.

Hello
This doesn´t work for CM7.
The app does a FC..
I installed vsuite 4.0 and it worked fine, but It just works with english commands. I would like to chang it to portuguese.
Maybe this ZIP is installing / overwritting the old version.
Do you think it´s possible to get only the language files for V4.0 ?
install from zip
I cant install from the zip file on my pantech break out, i get a signature error
can someone pls reupp this? thx.
Confirmed, not working. Installed in Neutrino 2.8. CWM did not install anything at all. Did manually, but still FC's...
However, I had a cwm backup of my earlier rom, from where I extracted the respective files, copied them manually to /system folder, fixed permissions, and it started working.
The extracted files can be downloaded here. I used ES File Explorer with root access enabled to copy files, but any file explorer such as Total Commander, Root Explorer, etc., can be used.
1. Download and unzip above file to your external or internal storage in a temp folder.
2. Copy VSuiteApp.apk file from system/app in unzipped folder to /system/app folder on your device
3. Copy nuance folder from system/etc in unzipped folder to /system/etc folder on your device
4. Copy libvsuite_mot_vs32_cmb103.so file from system/lib in unzipped folder to /system/lib folder on your device
5. Copy nuance folder from system/tts in unzipped folder to /system/tts folder on your device
6. Fix permission on all copied files (individual or in folders copied over) to rw- r-- r--.
7. Reboot, and hopefully it will work.
Thanks you unikorn.
This solution is not working for me on SGS2 (Lightning 6.1 - 2.3.4)
Done it step by step.
Its crashed on start.

that's because it is meant for Atrix 4G, not SGS2. Lib file is specifically for Atrix hardware. If you can find lib file for SGSII somewhere (may be from stock rom image), it might work for you. No harm in trying I guess

Thanks! This worked for me! Although it did FC at first. I went in and set permissions on each file and folder I copied to rwx rwx rwx, and than it ran fine. Not sure rwx is needed across the board like that, but at least it worked.
I am on TopSmarts 1.2 ROM.
Oh, and in case someone needs help view in the system folder, I referenced this http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...9-guide-es-file-explorer-root-operations.html
Hmmmm, strange. I myself flashed TopSmarts 1.2 a few days back, so did the same procedure as I posted above. Worked fine for me. Don't know why you got that problem. But anyway, glad that it worked for you in the end. Cheers.
FC on my ATRIX with CM 7.2 ROM
I've set the permission to rw- r-- r-- to all files and directories I've copied to the system direcotry
I've only copied part of the tts files ('enus' and 'frfr' ones).
I follow the steps, fixed permission from rw- r-- r-- FC, rwx rwx rwx FC and back to rw- r-- r--. But app FC, even get a pop up at startup saying the app closed.
Disabled Cyberon Voice Command, and Voice Dialer but no luck so far.
I'm on AOKP (4.1.2) perhaps is meant to work in 2.3.6?

Thank you
Credit's go to Eollie and ricspeed From AndroidCentral where I found the information below
The oroginal post can be seen here
http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/114730-how-boot-sound.html
The bootanimation is the stock animation for the XT912
I have a XT910 so I put it in the folder for other XT910 users
I did a bit of chopping and splicing for this bootsound, hope you enjoy it
If you're like me and had no audio on boot here's the steps made noob proof from the post above
Make sure you're rooted
extract folder and place files on either internal or external sdcard, just make sure it's in the root folder (not within any folders)
Install RootBrowser
Grant SuperUser Permissions
go to location of files (sdcard or sdcard-ext)
menu > Multi-select
select bootanimation.zip and RazR-CusT-BooT.ogg
Copy
go to /system/media/
long press bootanimation.zip and select rename
rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak
paste
log press RazR-CusT-BooT.ogg and select copy
go to /system/media/audio/notifications/
paste (I also had a notifications2 folder, I pasted it there as well)
Go back to sdcard or sdcard-ext (wherever you saved the files)
long press init.local.rc
go to /system/etc/
rename init.local.rc to init.local.rc.bak
paste
make sure permissions are set to rw-rw-rw
(if not long press and edit permissions)
Go to /system/ and open build.prop
open with text editor
look for ro.config.play.bootsound=1
delete entire string
menu "save and exit"
reboot
There still shouldn't be any bootsound
Install Android Terminal Emulator
Grant Superuser permission
open android terminal emulator
type the following
su (enter)
cd /sdcard (if placed on internal sdcard) (enter)
cd /sdcard-ext (if placed on external sdcard) (enter)
sh bootsnd.sh (enter)
(ignore any errors)
reboot - you have sound now
Optional - I also included a ringtone that I made that I personally like
you can place it in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to be able to select it natively
Download Link - http://bit.ly/XmIRzv
Just Audio
If anyone wants just the audio without all the other stuff here you go
Like I said, the boot audio timing is made to work with the stock XT912 bootanimation
RazR-CusT-BooT : http://bit.ly/Wc1DbK
Niggas In Paris Ringtone - http://bit.ly/U3lwmN
So im very confused
I'm try to edit the Boot sound.
So i maked my own PowerOn file (sound) and now i changed the Permissions of the file
But where did the PowerOn.ogg have to move (copy)?
My 7 sec. PowerOn.Ogg was already in the /system/media/sounds/ui
And in /system/etc, too
But it didnt work
ByTheWay : in the etc folder are 0 sound files
And in the media folder too (except for the ui folder there are some sounds, but no PowerOn file
Use Rom Tool Box or Root Explorer which must be mounted with -r-w permissions.
and until unless your file is placed under /root folder you can't change the permission for the file.
No chanche
I already mounted as R/W but doesnt work
I said every ROOT BROWSER!!! So romtoolbox is included to Every.
Master english i know
I rooted my device but i am unable to paste bootanimation.zip in /system/media. I was able to paste it with root browser but the file size shows 0 B.
I have exactly the same problem on crDroid -- OnePlus 8 pro.
