Argh.

Ok, root explorer, placed the bootanimation.zip into /data/local

Placed the mp3 into same, not the zip file.

Got animation, but no sound.

Droid, running froyo, rooted.

Bummer too, because it is a nice mp3!

Possible it has to go elsewhere, or its a froyo thing?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hitmaninpa:
not sure about nexus but for my droid i tried that still no sound,i tried changing extension to ogg also tried in system/media... bootanimation works great either way,but no sound either way.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hitmaninpa:
where can i get this executable?can someone post it up?i would try it to see if we can get it to work on droid.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bblanski:
I have sound and all. No problems. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] FlubFlav:
Working on Inc

I've got it working on my new Incredible; not rooted, not Froyo; got the sound working too.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Here is the executable from the dinc. This is only intended for users of phones other than the Droid Incredible that are having audio issues. Run the code below. Make sure you do the backup first. This is not a boot animation; it is the executable that runs the animation. You still need to have your bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 in /data/local/. If anyone has success/failures, post your results.

Download here --> bootanimation

adb shell mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/bootanimation.bak
adb push bootanimation /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/bootanimation
adb reboot

Revert back:

adb shell rm /system/bin/bootanimation
adb shell mv /system/bin/bootanimation.bak /system/bin/bootanimation
adb reboot
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RW-1:
Hi,

Got that. However I don't use ADB, i I load it on my SD and use terminal emulator to move it, that would be the same correct?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Jereth308:
I can't get the sound to work... but I first pushed the sound file as a .zip format. Then later I pushed the .mp3 file.

Is it not working because the android_audio.zip file is there? If so... how do I remove it please?

Would this work?

cd data

cd local

rm android_audio.zip
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Jereth308:
Okay!

I got this to work, thank you very much OP!

First I only got the boot animation to work, with no sound. Being stupid, I pushed over the zip file, and then pushed the mp3 file over after the zip was already there.

Then I followed the instruction and removed bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 and the .zip file for the sound. NOTE: I rebooted my phone after I removed the files, just in case.

Then I pushed just the boot animation and the mp3. Now it works perfectly! Wooho0!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Yes. Im jealous because we can't do that yet. Just make sure you do the chmod 755 afterwards.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RW-1:
Sorry ... of course it may come that we just don't have mp3 playability pre-boot like they appear to have on the incredible, I'll get this tested sometime this holiday weekend and see what occurs.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] offroadace:
I've gone through these operations, as well as others, and I do not get any animation or sound. It is just a black screen.

I can extract the bootanimation files and investigate the images and they are all correct and actual images. But when I push the ZIP and MP3 files, nothing happens.

I've gone through this a few times, with different animation ZIP files and nothing happens after I reboot the phone.

The phone works as expected, but no animation at all now.

Also, I am not rooted so I have been using the following instructions;

SDK Drivers - flexjunk.com/2010/05/01/installing-htc-incredible-android-sd-drivers

Boot Animation Guide - androidforums.com/tips-tricks-incredible/93514-htc-incredible-boot-animation-guide.html

I can see my device when I run this 'adb devices' from the /tools/ dir and the pushes show data is transfered without error.

Any ideas?

ORA
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 92sho16:
Ok, so i tried this and my moto droid just displays the moto symbol for the entire boot with no sound. CHMOD 755 the file, do the bootanimation.zip and audio need to have certain permissions?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hitmaninpa:
same here ran the exe did my back up.no bootanimation at all.i tried to chmod 755 /system/bin/bootanimation says permission denied.

i still have bootanimation and mp3 in data/local and in system/media.still a no go.

will try a few other things but it dont look promising:(
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
If that step does not happen, you will get a black screen upon booting. Try doing everything in recovery using adb.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] gryphin81:
Only Droid phones

Is this only available for droid phones
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] masterninja:
Great! Thanks! I have been looking fo this! I found plenty, but none with working audio. BTW, just wanted to say that I pushed this using Android Commander and it works! On my EVO!!!:D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ivanhouston10:
working perfectly perfect on my Evo :D...thanks guys
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] godlyitem:
Can you make one for Hd2 =.=??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Thomas_m:
So I tried this on my Eris and it worked but the image was too large. So I resized all the picture and edited the desc for 320x320 but I only get a black screen. Ideas?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RandomnDude:
Im a super noob and dont use adb...i got the bootanimation.zip working through terminal emulator. Can anyone tell me how to make the droid sound work? Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xxdjvalexx:
Looks and sounds great on my EVO!!! Thank you!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] holeshot77:
I used the boot animation program in market. I unzipped the audio file and just added it to the bootanimation.zip file and proceeded to use the file. Fail.

animation works great but there is still no sound.

Everything is being pushed to /data/local/

Evo

I don't know how to use the SDK on Windows 7.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] edu_re3:
Milestone

I have a rooted Milestone, and using adb push or manually moving to data/local and i have the animation working great but no sound at all. I do all the steps posted befored and nothing. Maybe the Droid/Milestone/Nexus One share some kind of configuration that its not compatible with the steps that you post for the Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rickallen64:
Take no take

Hey.. Boot Animation is REALL COOL.. NO SOUND.. ADB TAKES BOTH FILE in Both modes shell outside OS and ADB inside OS Pushed FILE in a FILE and OUT of A FILE NO WORKIE MAN...WANNA HAVE SOUNDDDDD NEEEEDDDDD SOOOUUUNNNDDDDD.......GIMMIE AN IDEA.. TRIED ALL I KNOW
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] magicdroid:
make sure you don't compress the zip file.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
The files in here are figured for the incredible's screen size and directory locations; for any other phone you'll have to consult both 1. where you need to put these files and 2. how to edit the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip file..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] oc3rulz:
I have a Nexus One and I have tried just about every folder including /system/media/audio, even adding the audio into the bootanimation.zip and nothing has worked. I know sound can be played, just haven't found it.

I even tried switching the .mp3 into a .ogg but no dice.

Does anyone know where the Nexus One bootanimation sounds go?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tj.iscool:
Anybody got the sound to work on the HTC EVO??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] masterninja:
Yep. Worked great from the get-go:D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] nscxp2005:
Hi all,

Would somebody be able to get this working on the HTC Hero?

I would love to have this as my Boot Splash.

All the best

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tj.iscool:
I can't get the sound to work on my Evo :(
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bulltronStudios:
works fine on hero .. just did it ... the DROID font is cut off, but its only there for 2 seconds anywas ... but no sounds on hero with animation ... pm if anyone knows how to get that bad boy working
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skillzo1:
Do u have to be rooted to do this? I dled the to files but have no idea what to do next. Do i need any other apps to move them? I do have astro. Any help would be great.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rmiles7721:
Very cool. Works like a charm.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] del4:
Pushed the 2 files over with adb, rebooted and I've got the sound and animation working on my Sprint Hero, no problem.

Would like to know what's needed to change the desc.txt file to get it to work with resized images that fit my screen better, e.g., without cutting off part of the DROID logo. I'd also like to have more sound following the DROID, like the sound of the eye moving around and such...

Here's the contents on the desc.txt file for the default Sprint Hero 2.1 bootanimation:

320 480 14

p 1 100 android

p 1 1 sprint

and here's the desc.txt for the Droid X bootanimation:

480 480 15

p 1 0 android

p 0 0 loop

Just changing the first row to match that of the default bootanimation doesn't fix it, so what else do we need to do?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Thomas_m:
How do you NOT compress a zip file?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tcberg2010:
Don't need root, unzip the audio one and adb push both files to data/local/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Simply changing the desc.txt is not enough. You have to resize all of the pics to 320x480 to fit your screen to make sure nothing is cut off or cropped. Also, make sure you use something like Textpad because desc.txt needs to be saved in a UNIX format or you will get a black screen.

To not compress the zip, use something like Winrar or 7zip. In Winrar, select 'Store' for the compression type when you create the zip.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skillzo1:
What, where is, and how do i use adb push. Sorry never did this.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] offroadace:
Me either.

Use this link to start.

androidforums.com/tips-tricks-incredible/93514-htc-incredible-boot-animation-guide.html

It will take you through the entire process and is well detailed for operations and additional data. SDK/ADP

Very easy.

Hope it works for you.

My DInc still doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] qmartman711:
To all eris..and evo ppl in this thread.

You have to change the resolution. There is a txt file that lists the current res in description folder, change that and u are golden!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dmmalon:
Does this boot animation require "rooting"??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xxdjvalexx:
This is awesome and it works great!!! Just a suggestion.......Can you make the eye green?????

:D

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] nFiniti:
Worked like a charm when doing in Disk Drive Mode only. Love It!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] GaMMeLHaNsy:
Hey

I don't know much about all that stuff, I have my android Phone for only 2 moth now.

I have an unrooted HTC Desire. will it work?

I know I'm a noob, but can somebody tell me what an adb is or show me a thread about it?

Thx and sorry for my stupid Questions and the bad english =)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] qmartman711:
no this does not require rooting for any phone. All you are doing is "pushing" a file on your phone. No hacks, nothing!

There are guides posted all over this thread, search 'em and you will find links to detailed guides that explain step by step how to set up cmd prompt and drivers on your comp to then use sdk.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] GaMMeLHaNsy:
It works on a HTC Desire Sound animation everything... AWESOME =)

The Problem was, that the HTC Desire needs other drivers.

And thats how it's done:

I followed the instructions from the website postet in the comment #132

BUT you have to skip point 2 and 3.5 and have to do this:

- connect your phone with the PC and coose to connect it as a harddrive

- scoll down and run "HTCSync_2.0.28.exe" (maybe there is an other version)

- after this the proper drivers for the HTC Desire are installed

- then continue the instructions, but use the Files from the first post in this thread
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jGroves:
This is what I got when I tried to do the steps from Windows Command Prompt

***EDIT***

Got it! The boot animation & the DROID sound both work great!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tool2269:
i took your sound and changed it (err transformed it) up just slightly for the Evo...nice work!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] holeshot77:
I tried to install. Works fine except the sound. Tried to push the sound into /system/customize/resource with no luck cause I don't have write capabilities. Need to somehow change permissions.

Also copied it to /data/local and still nothing.

What do I/We have to do on the EVO to make it work. For those of you claiming to have done it, why are we not posting up the solution and fix? This thread is still looking for answers and yet there are people claiming to have done it.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bblanski:
Used your longer version, is definately cool
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tool2269:
hmm weird. i just unziped the audio. put the 'mp3' file into sdk/tools folder.. then did the adb commands as instucted in the post. ive pushed 2 or 3 different mp3's to get the exact sound i wanted to hear.

do you have any apps installed that muted the old evo 4g startup because it was annoying?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] IMDANDROID:
Works perfectly, took less than 5 minutes to install on my HTC EVO.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ghostrider of bk:
hey dose anyone know how to do this on a mac???
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ghostrider of bk:
mac user in need of help for terminal commands

i got the animation to work but cant get the sound on my mac because im not sure if its the same command if anyone can help me do this on a MAC i will give you cookies!!!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Friggin' sick boot animation. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cray1000:
4

very cool, i felt they needed more too. cylon sound is cool too.

but is there any issue (possibly) with having such a large mp3 file play at boot? its quite abit larger than the original file.

i worry that maybe it must load these mp3 files differently since the OS isnt fully up yet, using some kind of Chromeos instant on tech or something, but i worry maybe this means a huge file must be loaded in memory and who knows if its ever unloaded, maybe an xda dev can explain how these boot animations/mp3 playback works? cause if its not going to cause any issues, i would like to use your longest sound.

TO ALL OF YOU WITH NO SOUND ON YOUR INCREDIBLE

YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE bootanimation.zip on the first post for the sound to work!! If you downloaded it from droid-life.com or another site, then came here for the sound, that is your problem. I just confirmed it. Once i downloaded the bootanimation.zip from this thread, it started working after tons of fiddling.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cray1000:
adb on the mac is the same regardless, the commands should be the same.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] stroupified:
try out the THX intro for that exciting cinematic experience when you boot up your amazing phone. lol

p.s. your girlfriend may laugh and call you a nerd, but hey...we are :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] stroupified:
it's the same commands but you have to put ./ before adb

windows: adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

mac: ./adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

hope this helps :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Mach3te:
Working perfectly! This just made my Droid Incredible that much cooler! Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blud7:
Works on Milestone! No audio though, even after unzipping.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rmcsc:
roflmao, hilarious! Geek cred to you, sir.

Got the animation running on a myTouch 3G (32B). I even got it to resize correctly (oh, how I've learned a trick or two by trying to get this to run. I finally understood how to run adb, for example... lol).

Sound... now, the sound is something I will try to look into. Can the myTouch/Magic even *play* sound during boot?

I'll let you guys and gals (if any) know.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jwaresolutions:
i just used Root Explorer to copy the files to the correct location. works like a champ!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] shoman24v:
Nice got this on done on my incredible.

To get audio the mp3 file goes in C:\sdk\tools
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] stroupified:
haha im glad someone enjoyed it. as for your sound problem it don't think the myTouch can play sound, I know that when i tried to put the audio on my brothers eris it wouldn't work so i think audio in a boot animation is a relatively new thing.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jonjon88:
noob :s

I'm already sorry but I gonna ask the most noobish question ever...

Ok so I tried to use adb shell to connect to my milestone but I ve never been able to do so...

The device doesnt show up in the list.

Im not really used to adb shell sorry... Do I need to make all the updates on adb btw (there is almost 2gb of it!) ?

Thanks to anybody helping me!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tweedies411:
Alright so I'm trying to get this to work on skyraider 1.9 rom on my incredible, I push each file via adb then adb reboot and I still have the boot animation that comes with the skyraider rom. Everything get pushed fine, are other boot animations just not compatible with this rom? I also manually placed the files in data/local via root explorer and still no luck. Any help please?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Dubskeet:
works!!!

got it to work on cdma HTC Hero rooted w/ fresh rom 2.3.3, the boot animation works great and is working with sound thank you if anyone needs help with it let me know.:D

Works perfect, thanks for new boot animation :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ohiwastedmylife:
Device Not Found

new to this...

but when I open command in the tools section and type adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local it comes back with

Error: Device Not Found

How do I fix this?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
My guess is that froyo uses a different spot to look for the bootanimation. For those of you with issues with other phones you have to remember that stock most likely uses a different location for certain components...so that just because the HTC sense infused incredible uses the /data/local/ folder doesn't mean that that's where you'd need to put it for your (insert phone here). For those phones check around for what folder others are putting their animation and sounds into.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ohiwastedmylife:
Got the animation working. I was unaware you had to adjust the code to make the incredible show up... now the sound. Still can't get that working.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] htc_woe_is_me:
I'm getting the same problem. I thought you had to be in recovery to get into adb shell? I so confused.

UPDATE: omg it was so easy I was making extra work for myself.

Just hooked my phone up to USB>select disk drive and then go into command prompt

enter:

cd\

cd sdk

cd tools

then use the given commands

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

adb reboot
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Alankrut:
mytouch?

could someone resize this for the mytouch,

or will it work without resizing?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DDustiNN:
How can I get the sound to work on the Eris? I can get the animation to work fine, but the sound is what I really wanted :(

I've tried every combination/name/location I can think of, and I'm running out of places to look :(

haha, thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention droidie. Yeah we did some tinkering to the file to make it work with the sound and incredible's screen size, so the two files up there are a matching set :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] kamisxy:
I think i understand all the steps except for 4....iam new to this can someone please help....what do they mean by going into adb and pushing?

4. go into adb and push both files as follows:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

adb reboot
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ogre150:
I went to clockworkmod recovery and mounted my system and data in the partitions menu. then plugged in the usb cable to my PC and did this:

cd\

cd\sdk\tools

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

I beleive if in clockwork you don't actually have to use adb shell. I just did this and it worked like a charm.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] juandpineiro:
I got a Moto Milestone, pushed the two files from the first post, boot animation working but with no sound...

BUT...

A couple of days ago I tried MotoSenseUI (basically turns the original Android 2.1 "look & feel" into the HTC Sense UI in the Motorola Droid/Milestone, via a Nandroid backup). That backup had the original DROID boot animation and guess what?? with sound working. I couldn't stay with MotoSenseUI because of some bugs (wifi and sdcard not working correctly, etc).

The point is, for a couple of hours, my Milestone "turned" into an HTC Desire so I guess thats why the sound worked fine like in the Incredible. In the original Milestone the file locations, desc.txt file and other stuff may vary but I hadn't found any info out there... :(

I want this boot animation with sound so bad... :P
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] juandpineiro:
I just did some research into the MotoSenseUI image I mentioned before. Here's what I found.

In my Moto Milestone, there were actually 3 files in /system/media/

- bootanimation.zip

- android_audio.mp3

- droid.mp3

Note that those files weren't in /data/local/ so maybe that's part of the answer for Milestone users. I'll try it later with my standard ROM but in the meantime I'm checking out those files to compare with the ones in this thread :)
