Hello XDA! This is my first post, although I am an avid daily reader. If this is not the right place to post this then I apologize in advance.
I am working on a custom boot animation. I have everything working, including the audio file I'd like to hear as it runs. My problem is that the volume of the audio file during the custom boot animation is VERY low (~30%). I looked at the stock AT&T boot animation and there is an audio file commented out in desc.txt (#s blahblahblah.ogg). I "uncommented" it and ran it with the stock boot animation to see if the volume was the same, and indeed it was! I opened up sql editor and have looked in every database file I can find (I think) and have found nothing referencing volume upon boot up.
Is there indeed a database file that references this, and if so, what do I need to modify so the the volume is at a respectable level? Is there something (a line of code) that I need to add to the desc.txt file that will modify the volume? In a nutshell, how do I increase the volume of the audio file that I would like to be played with my custom boot animation?
Thank you for reading my post. Any/all help would be greatly appreciate!!

Drop it in there and make sure it is named TMOUS_bootanimation and you will be all set
Oh I think there is an audio file for the annoying ass TMO jingle. Kill that too.

No problem I HATE that damn boot noise so I looked into this yesterday.
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.

Download to SD. Then I use root explorer. PM me your email. I got some goodies for you.
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.

Im also looking for the answer, where does the sound file go?
Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Ithink you quickly answered without knowing what i and last poster asked, where in the boot animation zip does the sound file go, the link you gave me has the sound file seperate from the bootanimation zip.
I read every post in this thread and my question is not answered.

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.
Hello all,
I'm a Doctor Who fan, first off. Someone posted the Doctor Who title sequence as a bootanimation that I modified for the Galaxy Note 2. Had to convert all the PNG files to JPGs, change orientation and redo the desc.txt for full screen. Works great.
I'd like to add the opening theme to it as well so when the phone boots I get the full experience however from the investigation I've done it appears that this feature has been turned off on the phone. In the /system/media/audio/ui folder there are two zero byte files, PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg. When I replace the PowerOn.ogg with any other ogg file and reboot it doesn't play it. Volume is at full for everything when I reboot.
Does anyone know how to enable boot sounds on this phone?
Thanks in advance,
Phineas.

I figured out the boot sounds, provided you're using a ROM that supports init.d scripts. Do you still need it? Also, I would love to get my hands on your Dr Who boot animation.
This is totally unrelated to anything posted here as of yet but I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to add a custom sound to the boot animation of this rom(paranoid android 4.43). I have themed to android L but im using the stock boot animation and I had a nice sound file I wanted to play while the phone is starting up. I've tried renaming my custom file to PowerOn.mp3 and .ogg and placing it in system/media folder also in the etc folder with no luck. This is driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not at pc, but I think it has to go in bootanimation, and you will have to edit the file that loads the boot animation if I remember right
Every single downloadable bootanimation seem to operate from a file called. 'bootanimation.zip'... However... On my xperia z5, boot animation operates from a file called 'bootanim.mp4'. If I rename or delete this mo4 file, there is no animation taking place. No matter what bootanimation.zip I install, it does not get called by the OS. The OS is looking king for the mp4 file. Can anyone help me to change this behavior, so that the bootanimation.zip gets executed instead.
My phone is rooted with xposed running and init.d is functioning as well.
Please guys, I can't find any reference to this anywhere on the net. Not it even on XDA.
Thanx in advance.

I know this is an old post, but I ran into the same issue/question and found this thread when searching for the answer. I was not able to find the answer anywhere on-line, but I did eventually manage to figure it out myself:
Your phone will have up to 2 additional files in the /system/media directory: default.playlist or custom.playlist (or both). For any newer Xperia model running the stock firmware that uses MP4 boot animations, you can get it to play the more traditional bootanimation.zip format instead by either renaming or deleting those files.
