I did it with the root explorer method and worked on my first try,I even put a sound to go with it. This is how I did it step by step

1. downloaded boot animation

2. Downloaded a cool sound from zedge that I wanted as my boot sound

2. Went to specified path in system and customize then resource(on my phone now so don't know exactly where, but the op is what I followed.)

3. find the stock boot animation, long press it, then click rename.

4. When the window to rename it comes up, long press the name already showing and copy it.

5. After the stock name had been copied to clip board, simply delete 1 letter.

For example I deleted the b, so the stock looks like this: hTC_bootup_one.zip

I changed it to hTC_ootup_one.zip

6. Now find your new downloaded boot animation in root explorer. Long press and copy, then paste it where you found the stock one.

7. After you paste it in system customize resource, long press and rename, delete what ever it's called, and paste the name of the stock one you copied earlier.

I followed the same steps for the boot sound. The stock boot sound is called htc_boot.mp3 so follow exact steps and it will work. it worked with a sound downloaded from zedge, so you have plenty of choices.

Hope this helps any one who is having trouble.

I originally came in here to ask for more boot animations :cool:
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
Do you have an EU phone or ROM? I think it works that way for EU phones and not for U.S phones.
[HTC One S] antdizzo:
Nope, USA t mobile. Using ZERO ONE S ROM
[HTC One S] torxx:
Works on every One S and always try /data/local first
[HTC One S] Orical:
I might be able to shed some light no some of what I've noticed, in system/customize/resource there are two (2) animation files both are different than what's posted.

1: TMOUS_downanimation.zip

(with 2 android folders with images and a desc.txt)

2: TMOUS_rockey_bootanimation.zip

(with 2 android folders and 2 TMOUS folders and a desc.txt file)

The animations in jpeg are exactly what runs but trying to install something other than those names will not work. I don't know if those will be different for other regions but for the T-Mobile US users that's what they should be named.

This would probably go a lot smoother if the devices were separated forum wise like they did for the SGS2 because there are some differences in the builds that are important like this for instance.

OK then I think I'm gonna give that first one a go, that looks sick and the one on the second post that's red. Thanks for the post....

**Revised Version** In system/customize you will find a folder called "CID", within that folder you will find a file named "default.xml" near the bottom of that file you'll find a section called "<BootConfiguration>" this will tell you what the ZIP will need to be called in order for this to work. If your T-Mobile US it will say....
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
UPDate: Ok, so I got the sound to work by looking at Orical's post. The reason why the sound won't play is because in the:

sys/customize/cid/default.xml file

there is a line that reads

"audio="/system/customize/resource/startup_audio.wav" audiostart="TMOUS" />"

Audiostart is pointing at "TMOUS" which is the first folder in the stock TMOUS_rockey_animzation.zip file. If you add a new bootup animation zip and that zip doesn't contain a folder called "TMOUS", the sound won't run.

All you have to do is

1.Open Root Explorer Press the r/w in the upper right

2.Navigate to /Cid folder, long press on default.xml and open in text editor

3.srcoll down towards the bottom and find the line with "audiostart=TMOUS"

4.Delete "TMOUS" and write the name of the first folder that runs in your new boot animation.

[edit]5. Then clear your cache and dalvik cache. Although I'm not sure you need to do the latter

This is how I got my sound to work again. Pretty simple. I didn't mess with the FPS when I added the Landscape andy bike rider zip in the OP.

Im on the stock US Rom, so I think this only applies to U.S phones with stock roms. I think.

Black screen

Whenever I try and flash the CPU and Jellybean animations they just show a black screen. All the others work fine.

I'm on T-mobile us if that makes a difference.
[HTC One S] dennnnn:
thanks
[HTC One S] :
I held out asking for help as long as possible, tried all the methods and and revised methods. Im running cm9 and don't have a cid folder or a default.xml file, found the original bootanimation in the system/media folder, changed it to the one i want with the same file name, but just got a black screen. when i delete that file in the media folder i get a boot animation with a shimmering "android" but i don't know where that came from. any other thoughts would be appreciated. thanks for all your hard work.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I'll third this one. Appears on TMOUS stock ROM with the "launching android rocket" animation, the best way to get this to work is to name it tmous.rockey.animazation. I also renamed the hTC_bootanimation just in case. Finally, the JB bootanimation also didn't work for me, which doesn't surprise me as even the thumbnail seems to be the wrong screen resolution compared to the others.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Did you try the JB boot animation, because I think it's the wrong size. I got a black screen also.
[HTC One S] :
I tried a few of them. Just to make sure it wasn't just the jb ones.

Cant change the boot or shutdown

Hey guys! I found these boot animations and shutdown animations from the epic 4g. At first I simply dragged and dropped and the shutdown works but it didn't fill the screen, it was half the screen size.

The boot was named bootanimations.zip and the shutdown was named downanimation.zip and both were placed in system/customize/resources (I extracted the bootanimation and downanimation from the zip's first)

I have taken the png's inside and resized them all to 960x540 and placed them back in and it does fill the screen but still only the downanimation works, the boot refuses.

Can someone please help me get these to work? I have attached the boot and down zip for you guys. :D

Download trox tweak package. It will work.
[HTC One S] theusername:
Trox tweak package is not for Tmobile US phones because we are on 1.84
[HTC One S] invasion2:
His ROM is based on 1.84. It works.
[HTC One S] theusername:
I stand corrected. I tried it and it does seem to work, but it still won't install the Jelly Bean animation. The other ones in it work though :confused:. I'm running Axiom so maybe I'll try a different rom to see if it works cause I'm out of ideas.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I've been trying the whole evening to get my bootanimation to play a sound with no luck. It was difficult enough to get a custom bootanimation to display, because it appears that the european Vodafone HTC One S loads it's bootanimation from /system/customize/resources/VF_bootanimation.zip and it took me a while to figure that out, with special thanks to Orical for his post.

However in the /system/customize/CID/default.xml file, there's no mentioning of any "audio". Here is a copy of the Boot Configuration part of it:

I should also note, that there's no startup_audio.wav in the /resources folder.

I also read somewhere that you could get a bootsound to play by adding a line in the animations' desc.txt, for example "s Dingdong.mp3" but I couldn't get that to work either... prolly because I had no idea where to put the mp3... Any ideas?
[HTC One S] torxx:
Replace the htc boot up sound file in the resource folder..
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Hi torxx, and thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking forward to flashing your ROM after the recent OTA update gets integrated in it.

Anyhow, back on topic: I'm actually trying to get the default HTC boot up sound (/recource/htc_boot.mp3) to play. It's a nice enough jingle and I'm kind of a sucker for the "stock feeling". I guess the default.xml in /CID controls what files are played at boot or something and there needs to be a correct entry for the bootsound. (Although when I experimented and deleted all the <BootConfiguration> entries in the default.xml my bootanimation would still play without a hinch... go figure...)
[HTC One S] DroidXAce:
If I understand your problem, you would replace the boot sound ?
[HTC One S] torxx:
It's enabled from stock so why do you edit xml's, just replace the .mp3 and it will work.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I do not want to replace the boot sound, I want to enable it. The european Vodafone One S doesn't play a bootup sound.

Judging from the post of Ashaman_Kupo (He was also trying to get the sound to work), the US T-Mobile OneS doesn't play a boot sound either, but there's at least some sort of reference to it in the default.xml, which, as Reevine said in post #65 in this thread, seems to ovveride the default htc boot settings with the custom ones from the carrier. Hope that's clear :eek:

EDIT: The TMOUS DOES play a startup sound on stock. It's just that it's included in a folder in T-Mobile's bootanimation.zip file, and not in the /resources folder, so when he replaced his stock bootanim with a custom one, the reference to the sound file got lost.

Now the question still remains why the hell doesn't the Vodafone one play a startup sound by default...
[HTC One S] torxx:
Either you diff his changes and try or replace the whole xml with the one from a Custom ROM or stock without branding
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Can I ask you to copy the boot configuration part of your default.xml or upload the whole xml, please?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/media/bootaudio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>

Here you go give that a try.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Thanks man, but changing the default.xml to your entries, renaming the bootanimation and sound files and moving them to /system/media didn't change anything. I've given up and I'm going to flash a debranded RUU sometime today...
[HTC One S] torxx:
Here is my /customize folder:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-4581187/customize.zip.html
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Dam, why not just install a rom like TrickDroid, that way you can just replace the files in the zip with the one you want to use.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Thanks for the zip torxx, but even replacing my whole default.xml with yours didn't do the trick. However I was able to finally figure out what's wrong. In my CID folder, there were 8 more .xml files, their filenames all beginning with VODAP followed by a number. I've looked into those and they basically were almost exact clones of the default.xml with small changes. They all had a <Boot Configuration> entry tho, so I just pasted the "audio" part in all of them. Bingo! Bootup sound enabled. But seriously, f*ck Vodafone!

1st reason: I thought I'd wait a while for the HTC One S to mature a bit, so that the ROM cooks get more familiar with the device.

2nd: With OTA updates still relatively frequent and JellyBean on the horizon, I figured I'd rather stick with the stock rom until things settle down a bit. No use in flashing a new rom every couple of days (or even weeks for that matter), just because of an android/radio update.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Sounds fair and glad you got the sound working.
[HTC One S] SagaBoot:
Can you also do it würg the es explorer
[HTC One S] invasion2:

[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I'm trying to make my onw custom bootanimation but for some reason it doesn't work. I used a program to create jpg-s out of every frame of a short clip, resized them to the right resolution (540x960) and created a valid desc.txt, but I just get a black screen while my boot up sound plays.

Something must be wrong with my jpg-s, because I borrowed another bootanimation.zip that was posted on another thread here, replaced 10 of the frames with my own jpgs and on boot, mine are just skipped over. I've attached the test bootanimation, my jpegs are ics050.jpg - ics060.jpg. Ideas what could be wrong/any help would be really appreciated.
[HTC One S] s0ulcraft:
thanks :D
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
Can anybody help me with this request? I've tried combining these two animations but have failed. I'd like the windows 7 animation to start after jpg 159 from the htc boot.zip. Anybody want to help?
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I can combine those for you but there're a couple of issues:

The 2 bootanimations run at different FPS- the 1st @ 100fps and the 2nd @ 30fps. You need to choose one value. If the 100fps are reduced, the first one might take quite a while to finish, if the 30fps are increased, the nexus one might look a bit like it's on fast-forward but imo that would be the better solution.

Also, the nexus bootanimation is at the wrong dimensions. Bootanimations for the OneS must be 540x960 and in portrait mode. I can resize it for you but that would mean almost doubling the resolution, so the result would probably look quite pixelated and rather distorted.

Your call.
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
I knew about the res and i used a program to resize it. It didn't look bad and you don't have to switch it to portrait. Can you keep adding the same pics and change the files names to make up for the difference in fps.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Try the attached file. I set it @ 50fps because I made it before reading your post. But you can just edit the 3rd number in the desc.txt file (50) to something else you deem more appropriate or copy images to try your idea. If you need any help, just say so, I'll keep an eye on the thread.
[HTC One S] SaurabhMumbaiOneS:
is it necessary to root????
[HTC One S] rajeshgpai:
Yes, your phone should be rooted for changing boot animation.

[HTC One S] pagantek:
Here's the first one, the second displays at quarter panel, so I'm not sure whats up with that - I'm still working on it. I know about the edges, looking into that as well, but its a start.

basically what is happening is that these files absolutely can't have any compression in them. I only use 7-zip and save these as "store" compression. the 2 that are having problems, the jellybean one and the POST messages have a slight compression on the desc.txt and that has a high probability of borking it. I had to learn the hard way on that one.

Those of you that know this already, thanks for the cool boot ani's :)
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Great work mate! Loving it!! Can't wait for the down animation.
[HTC One S] pagantek:
Thanks :) i think its something with the down animation ratio since i can rename a working up animation to down animation and it goes to quarter screen. I'm still investigating.

edit: Would you like your down ani? here ya go fullscreen :) tested and i like it, i'm going to keep it too. I think i have this rebuild thing figured out. I'm working on the other ones now.

Edit2: Fixed the jellybean one - it looks so good with the black showing no LED's :)
[HTC One S] pagantek:

Will this work with Venom? I saw the name for boot animation Zips is completely different than that of other roms such as Axiom,
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Yes it will. Just be sure to place it in the right place (/system/customize/resource).
[HTC One S] rafiqzadah:
well I tried anyway and got a "cannot copy file, Read-Only File system" Error in ADB. IDK what to do now. haha
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Go to Root Explorer and go to /system then click on mount R/W, or type this:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit

Then push it.
[HTC One S] rafiqzadah:
Lol. That worked. And also, just to be on the safe side, renamed the zip to the name corresponding to that of the Venom boot animations. Worked like a charm. Now to push some APKs.
[HTC One S] xona:
Great job. That BIOS one is epic :)
[HTC One S] pagantek:
Yeah it is kinda far back, but the black pixels use no power, so i looked at it as minor power saver. its subtle and not super "in your face with all that WOW!". i can try and find a larger one if you'd like.

It shouldn't take any longer on the boot animations no matter which one that you use, it will get to X as soon as everything is loaded. ADB logcat might be able to show you if you have a delay in booting.

[HTC One S] :
Okay now I may be going mad (okay so I am mad but not my fault my brain is broke) but messing around with bootanimations and Rom Toolbox Lite I have somehow managed to do something I didnt know could be done! But I appear to have killed (or at least mostly) the red warning writing on the first splash screen.

The only time it now shows up is when I boot into recovery from either bootloader or from the phone itself whilst its booted into the operating system, all other reboots and powering off and on the phone I have no red writing any more. Now I am almost positive it showed pretty much all the time barring the reboot from recovery (TWRP 2.2.2.0) which if memory serves me right it didnt show then so correct me if I'm wrong on ANY of this please because i'm feeling a little confused here which is a general state of my mind anyway :D

If someone wants to test what I did and see if it works for them I will happily take you through it step by step and see if it happens for others.

Edit just gone into bootloader to triple check that I am still unlock and I am, rebooted from bootloader no red text.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Wtf wish it did that for me lol so would love to get rid of that so I could use a better bootsplash. The only thing I can think of is if you gone back to a stock boot.img.

It has to be a stock boot image, otherwise it would show no matter what you boot into, if he's on a rom that is using stock then that explains it.
