-FlyX Boot Animation With Music v1-

Some may remember a youtube video of a review of FlyX, it had some pretty cool music running over the youtube video.

I remember seeing it and thinking that would be a pretty cool bootanimation.

Well here it is with a quick walkthrough on how to get it working.

Running on Droid X 2.3.3 Liberty 3 v2, Though I don't think there is any reason it shouldn't work on any other phone(samsung, htc, etc), Android version(2.2, 2.3, etc), or Rom(Justice, CM7, etc).

NOTE! Requires root and knowledge of using a root explorer, and just like any other thing you do to your phone that manufacturers don't want you to do, voids warranty, and can brick your phone(aka expensive paperweight). Proceed at your own risk, XDA nor I take any responsibility for what you do to your own property.

Now after that annoying disclaimer lets get going.

BTW: I made this like a year ago, it's not to my opinion 100% perfect, the music will end about a second or so before the lockscreen shows, and if you have a long long boot up time, the music will end earlier than that. Aside from that I'm proud.

-Things you need

A rooted phone

SUFBS android app (or any root explorer app you prefer)

FlyX_BootAnimation_WithMusic_v1.zip

-Download FlyX_BootAnimation_WithMusic_v1.zip, inside this .zip file includes 2 .mp3 files, and the bootanimation.zip.

-Using Windows, Unzip FlyX_BootAnimation_WithMusic_v1.zip with your favorite unzipper, I prefer 7zip.

-Inside will reside bootanimation.zip, bootmusic3.mp3, and bootmusic4.mp3.

-Transfer those files to anywhere in your sdcard of your phone in any way you prefer. (Using the usb cable may be quicker if your not set up to transfer through a network)

-Next safely eject and remove phone from computer.

-Using SUFBS on your phone, or again any root explorer, mount system and data as RW.

-Navigate to where you have the bootanimation.zip you just downloaded on your sdcard, and copy it.

-(Note!This is for Liberty, locations of the !original! bootanimation.zip may be different)

Now go back to the root of your phone and open the system folder. (from here on out be careful, files in system are important, and you can brick your phone if your careless)

In the system folder open the media folder.

Inside the media folder should reside the original bootanimation.zip.

Rename the origional bootanimation.zip, "bootanimation.zip.bak". Simply adding ".bak" to the end. (This is so you don't have to move or delete the original)

Now paste the bootanimation.zip that you copied from the sdcard inside system/media.

Congrats! you have the boot animation, however there will be no sound yet.

-Go back to the sdcard and copy both bootmusic3.mp3, and bootmusic4.mp3.

-Navigate back to the system folder, back into the media folder, and inside the media folder open the audio folder.

Inside the audio folder there should be a notifications folder, open it.

Inside the notifications folder, paste both bootmusic3.mp3, and bootmusic4.mp3 here.

-You can now exit SUFBS (or whichever root explorer you were using), and restart your phone.

Congratulations! If all went well you should have a snazzy bootanimation with music. If not, retrace your steps. Some files depending on the rom may have bootanimation.zip in a different folder, or the location of the music may be different, but for droidx liberty, this is the correct file locations.

Anyone that doesn't like the music or bootanimation can change it as they see fit, I take minimal credit, the bootanimation was made by WJD Designs, the music by the artist who made it, and the files for r2d2 bootanimation were made by Motorola or maybe LucasArts. I just mixed it all together, and made it work.

Happy Androiding!
