In Roger's ROM,I could change the boot Screen to the cute android logo animation by the instructions -
adb remount
adb push boot.gif /system/media
adb push boot.mp3 /system/media
But it could not work in CM3.6.5,nothing happened to the orignal boot screen.
How should I do now in CM3.6.5?
Thanks everybody!
Lol it's different because theres no boot.gif in cyanogen's ROM. Try this, I think it's what you want.

So although I'm a veteran here at XDA, I must admit i'm a noob at the G1 ( was a pro at the WM smartphone) Is there a way to add a startup sound & or a shutdown sound for the phone. I'm using the dudes cupcake rom. If there is a way. are there a set of instructions to follow?

Cyan's mod uses the classic 2 part animation boot screen, with the green "shining" Android boot screen. This being, the Android lettering is a transparent .png, and the shining animation is a scrolling .gif that shines through it, thus getting that effect. In order to change the boot screen, you have to edit both of those and then use similar adb commands. They're both in a APK file though, which makes it a bit tricky.

Hi All,
I hope you can help me - I promise I've searched for a solution!
I downloaded a few new boot animations to try on my CM6 install (on G1).
At first I tried simply copying a bootanimation.zip to /data/local and rebooting. So far so good - the animation worked perfectly. Then it looped, and looped, and...well you get the idea. Phone no longer actually booted!
No problem I thought, I'll get a flashable zip and flash a new animation using the recovery console (Amon_RA's). Did that, and it changed the animation OK, but still no dice on the OS loading (waited 10 mins plus to be sure).
For info, the animations were the pc-style one from Superbad Eclair and the CM6 one for the N1 (big X with the little android in the middle). Both worked fine and didn't freeze or anything, but they won't stop looping.
Tried the recovery console, but my linux exp. is limited and I didn't manage to access /data/local to delete bootanimation.zip (can cd to data but ls in data shows nothing - I guess it's coz I'm in recovery).
Getting a little worried here - can someone please suggest a solution that doesn't involve re-flashing CM6?
UPDATE: Tried flashing two more anims (R2D2 and Matrix from this forum) and no dice - Nexus 1-style animation stays. Basically, I've made no progress and I'm more confused.
UPDATE 2: Ah well I got too impatient and re-flashed CM6. Jeez there are a lot of settings to change. Anyhoo, will leave thread here for a bit in the hope that someone tells me what the issue was, so I can change my boot animation in future w/o fear.
The problem I think ur having was u copied it to the local file ur suppsed to install it straight onto the sd then open emulator and enter
Su
Cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Reboot
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
I had the same issue. All I did was
I used abd push bootanimation.zip data/local/ "to install"
adb shell
#rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
You can actually still do it even though the boot animation is running.

Hi All
So, I am a little confused about how to replace my kernel. My mate has a nexus one, and his boot loader allows him to load a kernel from USB into ram to test it which is pretty sweet. If its broken, just power cycle and it gone.
I have managed to compile a gt540 kernel from the sources provided by LG, with some extra modules - hid bluez, iptables, cifs and usb host. But I am at a loss as to how to test this.
From what I can gather, the boot loader is separate from the internal file system. Obviously the nexus one has an awesome boot loader already, but I can't make my gt540 load a boot loader screen.
I had a look at (but didn't install) ClockworkMod Recovery but that doesn't look like it will help me either. I don't want to just replace the zImage kernel file on the filesystem with my new built one by hand, and reboot - if it goes wrong how do I get the old one back?
Is there anyway to have both the kernels on the device, and choose which on to load just like a big-boy computer? I am currently running Quarx 2.1 Black Edition ROM.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I had a pretty good look and couldn't find anything.
My whole goal is to be able to get some hardware buttons talking to my phone so I can play snes If I can't get an hid bluetooth profile going so i can use a bluetooth keyboard, I'll use usb host mode with a hacked up joypad with batteries inside (if the usb port doesn't supply power).
I think that it would have to be on like a memory card. Maybe some software that when you boot your phone, it will give you the option to boot from phone or memory card. That would be good! Like a bootable dvd in a computer, gives you the option to boot from it or not.

Right, I worked it out. I didn't realise what "fastboot" mode was for. The rom I have installed has a fastboot already, so I turned the phone off and held volume up, search, and power all at once until the fastboot screen appeared.
Then, I plugged in my phone to usb and waited a few seconds running "./fastboot devices" - the fastboot command comes from somewhere, I am not sure where.
The output was :
Code:
[email protected]:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools$ ./fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot
[email protected]:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools$
Then, I ran the command:
Code:
[email protected]:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools$./fastboot boot ~/android-ndk-r4b/GT540_OpenSource_V2.1/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
and it appeared to boot the kernel I built
I haven't confirmed that the kernel is the correct one, but at least I have a process that /should/ work. I need to recompile the kernel with a different version.
On my PC (Linux or Windows), I can see what's going on during startup and boot.
A thread from 2010 says this can't be done on Android /showthread.php?t=653513
Is this still true, or can this be enabled on my device/in my ROM? Qould I have to flash a custom rom, or is there a setting buried somewhere that would not only skip the bootup animation (if I didn't already have -none- selected) and display this information during startup? Would fastboot have to be disabled?

As far as the boot animation goes you can replace/delete that after you root your phone.
The directory is ~/system/media/bootanimation.zip (at least that's for CM10, it shouldn't be too different on other roms)
As far as boot time details I don't think it can be done on android for now.
Hello,
I am looking for a solution and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the Fire 7 tablet will do the trick. Here is what I am looking to do:
- Customize the boot logo; when the tablet boots up, replace any logo (Amazon, Android, etc), with a custom logo (jpg).
- After the tablet boots up, it will boot to a screen where it has some graphics or writing on the screen and then a button to press to play a promotional video stored internally on the tablet.
- The tablet does not need to go any further or offer the user the ability to use the tablet in any other way.
- I don't need the tablet connected to WiFi as these will be handled out for promotional purposes.
We would need about 20 of these tablets. Can the above be done with the Fire 7 tablet (with or without root)? Or is there a better tablet (around the same price) for this purpose?
Thanks in advance!

You can change the boot animation by modifying or replacing bootanimations.zip in /system/media directory.
Can change the boot logo by modifying or replacing logo.bin in /logo partition.
Note: You cannot modify this unless your Fire tablet is rooted.

Thank you for this! Also, it looks like there is a way to root this tablet, so I will go ahead and purchase one and see if I can first successfully change the boot logo / animation.
