I've done some searching for trying to add sounds to the boot animations, and found something about adding a boot.mp3 in the animation zip or something like that (not sure if it was for root only), which didn't seem to work for me. Is this possible without root, and if so how? Thanks, and hope this is posted in the right section.
yep, just make a sound file, name it boot.mp3 and throw it into the zip folder.
I've tried that on a non-rooted 2.1 eris, the boot animation works but the boot.mp3 that i added wouldn't play. Not sure why, tried some other things also with no luck.
I've also tried just throwing a boot.mp3 into a rooted 2.1 phone's boot animation, and it seems the same there too, the boot animation loads but the sound doesn't. Does anyone have a boot animation with sound working on a 2.1 phone? Looks like they done away with the sound from the default boot when switching from 1.5 to 2.1... looked like in 1.5 it worked off a bootscreen folder and xml file etc.. and 2.1 with the bootanimation.zip with a different setup etc..
From what I know, the sound will not work unless the desc tells it to play the sound... was there sound with the original bootanimation? If there was, you might try pushing the original files back and then trying... maybe in pushing the animation .zip, you overwrote the desc that told the phone to play the sound.. from what I have seen, the bootanimations that play sound have script in the desc file that tell it to play the sound....

the desc.txt i've seen don't have anything telling it to play the boot mp3 just the size, framerate, and folders... you wouldn't happen to know what needs added in into the desc txt would you? Don't think i've seen any boot animations with sound to check the desc. txt, mostly the ones i've seen with sound are based on the xml file type.

You are right, I just checked and it was a .xml file... what does yours use? a desc?

Yeah mine is a desc. and it seems the ones which use the xml won't work with 2.1.
did yours originally make sound?
Not after upgrading to 2.1.
I see the problem... sorry.. I am at a loss...
np, thanks for trying.
Can someone try pushing their boot sound to /data/local and name the file android_audio.mp3 and see if it plays then?

ok so i read on XDA that you can get sound on your boot animations. i have put together a droid x boot animation and with your help i got it to "install". now, i was told to edit the "desc" text document to read:
"320 480 22"
p 1 0 android
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
so i did that. then they said to name the mp3 file "Anroid_Audio.mp3" so i did. then they said to put the file into the "bootanimation.zip" where the desc txt document and the part0 and part 1 files are. then they said to copy that and go into data, then local, then paste it. so i did. then they said to reboot the phone and it would work. so i rebooted the phone. and all that happened was a blank screen for a little while and then it went to the homescreen.
anyone have any idea on how to get this to work?
anyone? i really would like to have sound..
Lol. I would like but don't know how to make it work.
seems like no one knows
Use WinRAR to compress your bootanimation.zip, and set the compression to "Store."

tried that but then when i opened up Root Explorer on my phone i pasted it into data/local and it said it pasted but it still showed the old bootanimation. tried same with system/media. no luck :/
Hmm idk about installing it that way. Using an update.zip or pushing from ADB might be more effective.
You spelled "Android" wrong in the file name of the mp3. Maybe that's the problem.
I've never added sound to my boots, but I do have a custom boot picture and custom animation. It seems to me that the title in your txt file should refer to the mp3 by the exact file name.
Let me know if you get this working. I'd love to change mine.

why don't you browse through the original rom seeking for bootanimation.zip ?
btw by my own experience changing the original bootanimation.zip through a recovery script (aka update.zip) simply doesn't work so if its your case just do it manually with root explorer.
Hope it helps

I've changed the boot anim a number of times using a zip through recovery. However in these instances I was not the one that compiled the zip so I'm unsure about the exact process.
I belive your boot anim has to be a anim GIF along with a XML file.

On my Android 2.2 (froyo) device, the path to the bootanimation and sound file is:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/system/media/android_audio.mp3
Both are at the same folder level. Also, each 'frame' of the animation is a separate .png file in two directories. One directory has the opening part of the animation, the second directory contains just the looping part.

i have a cliq with a 2.1 rom on it. inside the bootanimation.zip is a part0 and part1 folder. part0 contains the png's for the opening part of the bootanimation and part1 has the png's for the looping part. now, do i add a line into the txt file saying "android_audio.mp3" ? and then put the android_audio.mp3 into /system/media/ ?

In my bootanimation.zip, my 'part0' folder is named 'android' (the opening part of the animation). There is no entry in the 'desc.txt' file for the audio file, it just sits in the media folder along side the .zip file, not inside it.
I just had an idea that the name of the audio file needs to match the name of the folder that has the first part of the animation. For example, my folder is named android and the audio file is 'android_audio.mp3'. If you're still having problems getting the audio to play, try naming the audio file 'part0_audio.mp3' and see if that works for you.

im not even gonna bother messing with it now. i mean the hd2 is a windows mobile phone yet it can run an android 2.2 rom. im jealous of my dad... and im sitting here with a cliq that still has android 1.5 and yet again moto has delayed the update. im ready to give up on the cliq. its got nothing out there. i mean, ive got it rooted and have a 2.1 rom on it but i just cant handle not having any development for it. but the thing is i just got my cliq from tmobile around april so im not sure if i qualify for an upgrade yet. should i maybe complain to tmoblile about moto being horrible with there updates and im not satisfied with the phone to try and get them to give me a new phone for free?
Im fairly certain you leave the sound file OUT of the bootanimation.zip. Just place it in there, and make sure the desc has the part0 sound thingy...
Didn't the older Android versions have sound in the boot animations?....Just for a brief moment. You could probably download a 1.5 rom, extract the boot animation from it, change the mp3 (and maybe something in the text file) and put it in data/local or system/media (or both) of your current rom.

I have the stock bootanimation.zip. I'll upload the file when I get off work. Just drop it into system/media/ named as bootanimation.zip. As far as the boot sound goes, nobody to my knowledge has had any luck with that. Everything I have tried to restore custom/stock bootsounds has failed.
Thank you very much!

Minor difficulties. The bootanimation.zip file I have for the true stock animation is corrupted and I'm not having any luck fixing it.
I've attached two alternatives though. The first file is the SGS bootanimation that has been optimized for a smaller screen. It works fine, but it is smaller than it would normally be.
The other is a modded version with a BIOS boot intro followed by the SGS boot animation (full sized). In my opinion, its pretty freakin sweet. Credit to specialex and LitePro. This one is their work, not mine.
Either way, download, rename to bootanimation.zip and drop it into system/media folder using root explorer or a comparible file manager app.
Thanks man. The BIOS style one looks sick. It seems that you can restore a bootsound through SGSTools, but when I set a random .ogg notification sound as the shut down sound, it played it in a never ending loop. I'll try and tinker with it some.

Yea, I had no luck working with SGS Tools and the boot/shutdown sound changer. It works great on stock 2.1 w/ root (I tested it the last time I flashed back to stock- rocking the "droid" voice on boot for a while).
Unfortunately, it never worked for me on custom roms. Even tried .mp3 and .oog files instead of .wav just for the hell of it. I think the issue has to do with the playlogos1 file that the devs modify to kill the default shutdown/startup sounds. I'm going to try SGST again though... its been a while and that app has been updated 4 or 5 times since I last tried.
Well, I found the shutdown.ogg file from the JH7 OTA .zip file and yes, it did work through SGSTools! If I find the original boot animation in one of these folders it'll be back to stock appearence Now whether or not I want to do that is the question hehehe....
EDIT: Turns out only the shutdown sound was working. Im doing a Rom Manager backup now, but my plan is too remove the bootanimation.zip file and restore the factory playlogos and playlogos1 files back to system/bin and see what happens.
EDIT 2: Well that didn't work... I found two other files called bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and seeing if those work.
EDIT 3: No luck there either. I wonder if it is possible at all to restore the boot animation and sound, and what the developers did to remove it. Its very interesting...
Here's a copy of the stock bootanimation.zip. Credit to whoever I got this from. Personally I like the BIOS one
Searched through almost every thread relating to this post and found absolutely nothing. I just flashed Cog 3.0.2 and it works like a dream. The only issue is I am trying to now change the boot sound to a file of my choosing. Default has no sound file. I have looked in these place so far with no luck:
system/media
system/etc
There is no poweron.wav file anywhere and adding one i created myself did nothing.
Any sure fire ways to do this? Id really appreciate some help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154
sgs tools here has an easy way to set the boot or shutdown sound
Boot and shutdown sounds as well as qmg animations have been disabled in custom ROMs AFAIK. If you really need it bad, the official factory ROM will work.
I appreciate you being the only persn to respond but that is actually false. I dont have,any qmg files to mess w. I have already made a working boot ani and its zip. Not qrm. Plus alot of roms use .wav files for boot sounds....

You should have no problems inserting a poweron.wav into system/etc and have it execute upon boot up. I have created my own start up and shutdown both with and without voice and they work fine. Just make sure it is in the correct format.
Oh heck, I must have tried the wrong places. Cool! Was thinking it's /system/media/audio/ui or /system/media/audio
I have downloaded couple of bootanimations for my AHD , tested them and they worked.
I wanted to add sound to them, so I edited desc.txt and added line
Code:
s sound.ogg
audio file was converted from mp3 to ogg and placed in system\media
After rebooting, bootanimation is not playing at all, after startup logo, it shows blank screen until phone is fully booted.
I have made sure permissions are the same as original bootanimation on both zip and ogg files.
Tries to add sound to another zip file, but had same results - animation is not coming up at bootup at all.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you for any help

What are you using to create/and/or edit your boot animations with?
The only program I've had luck with is 7zip, with compression set to "store".
I had the same problem when I created my first boot ani, but not since doing what I just described.

The animations were downloaded from this site and worked fine before I started adding the code into txt file.
I have used winrar to pack archive in "store" mode. but I will try with 7zip too.
zipping it with 7zip definitely helped. i now have working boot animation with custom sound. works great. thank you

Making sound work
Kinda of a noob at this but i made mine work.
I started with downlaoding the droid animation zip i found in these forums unzipped it and verified contents
Next I opened the .txt file and verified what is said
720 1280 15
p 1 5 01_droid
p 1 0 02_mobility
p 1 0 03_loop
the i added s and droidhd.ogg for my sound in the location that i wanted it
720 1280 15
p 1 5 01_droid
p 1 0 02_mobility
s droidhd.ogg
p 1 0 03_loop
my sound will start as soon as the mobility folder begins if i understand things correctly.
Next I followed the advice of ATGAdmin from this thread and when i highlighted my files, added them to archive via 7zip, it brought a new window and this is where I told it to make it a .zip file and set them "store". this was key to making the sound function along with the animation.
I then place the new zipped file named bootanimation.zip and my sound droidhd.ogg in my /system/media using root explorer and moved my original animation and sound to my back up folder and rebooted. sound and animation fully functional.
I hope this helps

Just replace your original from system/media ( make sure you keep the original in a safe place) change permission to rw-r--r--.
Hit like if you like. Hit donate if you want too. The attached .gif is not the actual boot animation just a preview made for this post.

after my initial research your png files in each folder must be consecutive i.e P1 000.png-070.png P2 071.png - 139.png Etc..... they must be consecutive. you started from zero in each Part. 70 .png per folder

I've attached a zip file with all of the images. I renamed each one to be in exact numerical order starting at 000 and going in increments of 001.
I placed that zip file with the desc.txt file into system/media and set the permissions at 0744(rxwr--r--).
It still didn't work.... Is there a limit to how many images can be in one folder?
