So I have tried every step that everyone has mentioned thus far and I still have the same troubles as the majority of the people have. It seems like there is no other information that really helps ppl other than what you have already posted. So I wanted to run by what I did and see if anyone catches a my problem (which is the audio doesn't play)...

Download just the android_audio.zip (I have a different bootanimation I want to use this sound with)

Unzip into my tools folder

Rename it to match the loop animation because I have two parts and I wish to have the audio play on the second part which is named part1 (audio file renamed "part1_audio.mp3")

tools\adb push \tools\part1_audio /data/local

Files has successfully been pushed and have double checked with root explorer

reboot

No audio... I deleted the file, retried the steps, pushed it again, nothing... I even did it without renaming it the first time and retried it that way again too, nothing...

Is there anything that another pair of eyes is seeing that I don't?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Ddukes76:
Anyway to change boot ani w/o root? Heard it can be done... Is it a myth?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Kerr_Avon:
For Droid X users, the sound file MUST be /system/media or it will not play.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddball:
Is there a way to revert back to stock? Thanks..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] LamborghiniPaul:
is there a way to do this with root explorer...I've never been good with doing all that stuff on the computer cuz it never seemed to work

Some help would be much appreciated

Thanx
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] LamborghiniPaul:
Can u please tell me how u did it all in the root explorer...my milestone is having problems putting the audio into system/media folder...it'll go in ther but nothing comes from it
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddball:
Can you tell me what you did to get it to work on your EVO?.. I have followed the directions and still no sound.

Thanks!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gahh Its Lee:
Just move bootaudio.zip to the /system/media folder I used root explorer
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddball:
Ok, Bootaudio zip or the mp3 file itself?

Thank you so much!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gahh Its Lee:
The mp3 sorry for not being clear
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddball:
Thats ok, thanks! Im starting to think that 2.2 may have broken this ive tried so many ways and still no sound.. Thanks again.. Most of the posts im gettin info from were posted in july..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
If yours is anything like mine I had to put the boot animation and boot up sound in system/customize/resource and it worked like clockwork. Pushing it anywhere else resulted in nothing changing.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddball:
Just was browsing thru root explorer and i don't have /customize/resource < directories.

You have an EVO, right?

Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
Nope sorry I have an Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] CCrew:
Dunno if it helps anyone, but I have a new Dinc (SLCD/HW Rev 3) running Virtuous, and I couldn't get the ADB push to work. Since the default location on mine for a boot animation was /system/media/ I finally gave up and put it there. Pretty straightforward for me.. Copied the files to the root of the SD card, Renamed the existing /system/media/bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.old and then copied this bootanimation.zip and the MP3 to the /system/media directory and rebooted and it took off and ran.

Contrary to a previous post that it will look in /data/local/ first it sure didn't seem to be the case with mine. Whether it's a function of the Virtuous ROM I don't know, just posting my experience.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] r4p70r:
Did this work with Xperia X10i?

Because only the animation works...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intaminfan08:
I have incredible skyraider 3.5 and still cannot get any audio. Just a question why are people with other phones posting in this forum asking if it will work with their device?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ryanneb727:
Im computer illiterate. lol whats adb. i have a mac and im so lost. i downloaded everything but i just dont know what to do.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] monkeybones:
ADB= Android Debug Bridge, part of the Android SDK which can be D/Led here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

The boot animation and sound works great. I believe this has been stated more than once, but if you have an Incredible, rename the boot animation to VZW_bootanimation.zip. Extract the mp3, renaming it to VZW_droid.mp3 and push (or install with root explorer) to system/customize/resource.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] projectsome:
Ok,

I've read through this thread with great interest as I want to get the boot animation working on the x10 mini pro.

I've had a look at the bootanimation file(s) from the HTC one listed here and the bootanimation file in system/bin on the mini pro which tells the phone to look in the media and local folders respectively.

The difference is on the mini pro version it doesn't point to any xml files/scripts etc whereas the HTC one does.

I've tried putting the HTC bootanimation on the mini pro and the animation works fine.

I've also tried adding lines from the HTC file to the mini pro one. I also tried changing the path names on the HTC file to reflect the location(s) of file(s) on the mini pro. I even tried copying the audio file in to several folders.

I've even tried using the bootscreen folder listed somewhere (again pointing to it using the HTC file)

Are there any files etc I've missed that could get the sound working?

Thanks

i got the droid boot animation to work, but the sound isn't working, i found my original boot in system/media so i replaced it with the droid boot and put the sound in there too

yeah, Nexus One 2.3.3 stock (rooted)

bootanimation.zip plays fine - played like 10 different ones, no issue

all placed in system\media

the mp3 doesn't play though. nexus one incapable of bootup audio? or gotta place it elsehwere?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
There is a hack floating around here and the cm boards that will give back your boot audio. If I can find it i'll post a link to it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] boss42970:
Hey, can this be done through bootstrap recovery? I am thinking about installing an sd zip, but when I look in the file it doesn't say there's anything in it, but I can install the zipped file. Is this safe?

last time I tried this, I got stuck in the bootloader screen and Verizon replaced the phone.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] robertr0:
Got the animation to work perfectly. Has anyone got the sound to work with ERIS? I have searched the forum and can't find anything. I think the boot animation needs to be changed but I don't know what to change it to. I have both bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 in /data/local Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] kikoys:
it's awesome dude. :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] nsyedhasan:
Does this work for the OnePlus One, if not is there a way I could make it work?

I want this but with the red color in light-blue, have you?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] derickmc:
sweet, works great on my incredible! I was able to get the bootanimation to work on my wifes Droid Eris, but not the sound.. any idea why?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] parkson:
Using root exlorer I checked the data/local folder. both bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 are there, so I obviously pushed it correctly with adb. problem is, the sound doesn't play at bootup...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] digitalicecream:
Just got it working. make certain to re-download the links from here and have both files in your tools folder, run ADB without the first command listed here and just push the files to the Inc, then run the ADB reboot command to reboot the phone. This time it worked for me.

Between this and the multitouch keyboard I finally love my incredible again. really didnt care for the stock keyboard...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Lw00d:
sweet works great on my incredible. both boot and sound.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] worm-:
parkson, i would say redownload both files from first post, and just repush them both, don't rename either file (Incase you did) and it will over right them, and then it should work..

as to working on the eris, probably the desc.txt file will have to be remodified for it.

Took dr and I a few hrs to get this sound working properly last night :/
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] acezhi:
I was having the same issue.

It ended up being vibration mode turned on.

I turned it off and rebooted the phone and it works great now.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] neohodge:
sound issue

i was able to push everything(but i had to put the actual .mp3 FILE into the tools folder). But the sound does not work any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] parkson:
i feel your pain. still can't get my audio to play at bootup. i am 100% sure i did everything correctly, which is why there's grief to be had
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
thanks for the heads up; i'll remove that line from the first post! :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
are you unzipping the audio file? if not; go into adb and do this

then repush the two files; this worked for me the other night.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zr0ko0l:
hey everyone, im having the same issue with the audio not working, and i am sure i have done everything correctly. any solutions yet? thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
try what i posted above; deleting and repushing the files, then lemme know! :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] parkson:
yes have tried to rm and repush. still a no-go. i will just have to do without audio. the visual animation is good enough :)

thanks for the help everyone!

*edit* yes I unzipped the .mp3 file before dropping it into the sdk/tools folder and pushing via adb. still no audio..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zr0ko0l:
ok, i believe i have found the problem, and maybe its the same issue with everyone else. when you put both bootanimation and android_audio in the sdk\tools folder remember to extract the android_audio so that you end up with a .mp3 file in the tools folder, then retry

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

i just did it and it worked for me.

thanks for the help drmbdrummer.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
glad you got it working zr0ko0l :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bilbobrian:
works great thanks a lot....:)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zeke1988:
i keep adb:getting permission denied. any idea whats wrong?

heres what i typed on cmd.

cd c:\android\tools

adb shell

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

then i got this adb:permission denied msg.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
it's because you don't type adb shell first; i mis stepped in that first post; it's fixed now, try it again :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JaydenR:
Awesome find. Thanks guys. Just installed with audio.:D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zeke1988:
ops, i should have read the first post. thanks for the help. love the sound and the animation.

if we can use that as live wallp, thn its perfect!!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
I cannot get the sound to work. I had pushed the bootanimation yesterday and then came along this post with the sound. I am guessing it doesn't matter the order you push this stuff.

I am trying to remove the mp3 and type cd local cd data and the rest exactly how you do it but it goes on one line. It doesn't do a thing but list all the commands available.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: I figured out you have to type adb shell first. But, I tried it again and no sound. I have the Incredible. Maybe it doesn't work with the it?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
no worries zeke1988; i updated it anyways so it might not have been there :) glad it's working!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
back out of adb and try again.

make sure you're trying to remove things IN adb shell, but pushing OUTSIDE of adb shell.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
Yeah, I figured that out. LOL But still no sound. Maybe it doesn't work on the Incredible. Maybe it doesn't even look for sound at boot.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
did you try removing the files and then repushing? that's what worked for us last night. give it a shot and see what happens ;)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mrchambo:
So, how loud is the audio?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ZOMBII MATT:
i keep getting error: device not found.

what all do i need to do with my phone when im doing this?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
pretty loud haha.

did you enable usb debugging? install the sdk i assume? put the device into recovery mode?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
Do you need to reboot your phone after removal? I did not do that and just did the removal and then the push again.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
i don't remember rebooting; just remove them from /data/local/ and then repush the two files; make SURE to unzip the android_audio file and push the MP3 file.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ZOMBII MATT:
ok i have debugging on and im in recovery and its still saying device not found
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
I did try that and still didn't work. I will try one more time.

Edit: Tried it again and still nothing.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] b00sted:
worked great for me, thanks!

I got the animation working on my nexus one but the sound doesn't work. did all the steps does the audio even work with nexus.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the337:
how would you go about removing the audio if you wanted it silent again?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] worm-:
rm android_sound.mp3 /data/local
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
I have no idea whether it works with the nexus or not to be honest; maybe the audio file has to be a different name? Sorry I don't have a nexus :)

the337, go into adb shell and theeeeen:

BOOM; done.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] str0gg:
works !

first time tinkering with my new incredible..

the boot animation works great... sound is a bit loud, but awesome !!

friendly reminder for non-rooted incredible users, be sure to edit the android_winusb.inf file in the usb_driver folder to get adb to install.. that was the only hiccup i had..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
How did you get the sound to work? I have tried removing the files and adding them a bunch of times and still no sound. Did your incredible have sound with the stock boot animation? Mine does not.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] martin0285:
tried it on my nexus one and sadly got no sound......Would have been sweeeet!! Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
Not sure if this helps anyone but here are some instructions on how to get audio to work on the Incredible.

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

You have to modify the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip and you also have to make sure there is an audio folder in there as well.

Not sure how to do this since the desc.txt is very different than this guy shows and I do not have a textpad to save as a Unix file.

If anyone would like to try this and post the bootanimation.zip that is fixed that would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sezaro21:
I'm a total newb here, How do I enter adb? What are the exact steps?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
skunis1; This was what was wrong with the original ported wallpaper. I took it and changed all these numbers to make it appropriate and resaved it as a UNIX file. That's how we fixed it in the first place. But thanks :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
Ahhhh!!! Light bulb moment! LMAO! I was using a different bootanimation.zip that I got from a different site. Let me see if this works now.

Edit: Worked like a charm! Pretty darn loud! LOL
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bhazard451:
For anyone having trouble with adb like I was, just download estrongs file explorer and root explorer from the marketplace.

Copy the files wirelessly via samba in estrongs to the root of your sd card. Then use root explorer to copy the animation zip and mp3 file to /data/local (if you're rooted). You can even set rm in root explorer.

Works great and is very easy.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
Sorry I have no ideas man..BUT, check around for adding custom boot to the nexus; i THINK you need to put these files in a different folder..

skunis1; AWESOME haha, i'm glad you finally got it working :) and yeah; it's loud..You could always edit it using audacity or something if it was really bothering you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zonbal33:
I'm on CM 5.0.8 for the Droid. I checked /data/local and their is no bootanimation.zip in there or any sound file.

When I go to /system/media I see a "bootanimation.zip" and a "audio" folder.

How would I go about installing this boot animation and the audio?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] skunis1:
That did the trick! Had to try it a few times but got it to a manageable level.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trotter45:
I can not get sound to work with this bootanimation. I can get sound to work with any other bootanimation but no this one.:confused:

I am sure that I have unzipped the audio file and any other adio file just can not get it to work
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] eRod v1.0:
Loaded on my Inc without any problems. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lordv8r:
Followed the instruction in the first post and it install perfectly!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradblick:
the sure fire way to get this to work

use quickboot (market) to boot to recovery (you should be using clockwork)

have phone connected thru usb

run cmd prompt

cd to tools directory (eg. c:\sdk\tools)

run adb shell

navigate to /data/local.... to see what folders are in each directory use "ls" command...

remove the original files that are there using:

rm "filename"."extension"

then re push, re boot, unplug

you may need your volume up prior to all of this to hear the first reboot "droiddddd"

anyway best of luck and thanks this is really cool lookin!

Alternate DROID Enhanced Sound Clip

Big thanks to drmbdrummer.

After I finally got the sound working on my Droid boot-up screen, I realized that there was something missing for me in the whole experience. In my mind I was hearing more sound after the great "Drrroooiiidd" voice.

So after wasting an hour or so, I mixed together a new mp3 sound file that can easily replace the "android_audio.mp3" file.

I've included 2 versions, the first is a longer one, the second shorter; I prefer the longer one, but some may feel the end sound repeating gets a bit obnoxious. I think it rocks.

Bonus points to the first person to identify the 2 added sounds (should be easy IMO)

Hopefully I'm not the only one to enjoy this!

Check out what it looks at youtube with this title:

"Droid Incredible w/ Droid X boot animation & new sound"
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Thanks for this. I woke up this morning to my phone boot looping (don't know why, lol). It was the best alarm ever. I just kept hearing "droiddd" about every five seconds.

btw, I pulled the ringtones from the Droid X system dump. It has some pretty interesting ones where a droid voice speaks and lets you know there is a phone call for you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] johnspecht:
mine loops twice? any ideas
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trotter45:
Post some of the ring tons please
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dreamersipaq:
Ok, question

Maybe noobish, but...

you have us putting it into /data/local

however when I do a search on the phone system

"find / -name "boot",

I get "/system/bin/bootanimation"... AND

"/data/local/bootanimation.zi" <= what you had us put in. Can you 'splain the difference?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
It's my understanding that the one in /system/bin/ is the regular bootanimation file, BUT if you HAPPEN to have one in /data/local/ then it looks for that first and runs that file at bootup instead of the other in /system. Thus you don't have to overwrite the /system/bin/ file. ALSO, it means that just by deleting the file in /data/local/ you can restore the stock boot. :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trotter45:
I am not getting sound with this bootanimation this is how I am trying to do it

C:\>cd C:\android\tools

C:\android\tools>adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

1778 KB/s (345932 bytes in 0.190s)

but when i reboot it has the bootanimation but no sound. If i use a different bootanimation I get the sound

Any ideas
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdfxcln:
same for me...sound doesn't work...I'm have nexus too.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
I don't have a nexus, so I can't speak to what folder it should be in; but i would try /system/media/bootscreen or /system/media/ ...otherwise just google around and see what folder you need.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdfxcln:
yup still searching...but now since frf85b made the boot time short...iono if i should even bother anymore cuz you probably wouldn't even get to the sirens part of the audio file.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] yzdirtrider13:
Those of you not getting sound.. Make sure you are NOT pushing android_audio.zip to the device. Extract the mp3 inside the zip, and push that.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trotter45:
I have it unziped but for some reason with this bootanimation it just will not except any mp3's no matter what audio I use. I am pushing it though the adb commands with no luck. I have the droid incredible. Have no problems with sound with any other boot animation except this one
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tazzpatriot:
i have a droid and its not workin for me either
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
As I've said, it doesn't go in the same folder for other handsets; the /data/local/ folder is for the incredible, i'm not sure what folder you need to put it in for other phones, but I'm sure there are instructions for your phone out there too; but then again you will need to change the desc.txt file as well..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tazzpatriot:
sorry my bad
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drmbdrummer:
it's fine man, i just have no idea what idiosyncrasies exist with the nexus; there may be instructions in the nexus dev forum (?); just try using these files instead of whatever they provide :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Whether the sound plays out not is also controlled by the executable /system/bin/bootanimation which plays the animation. That's the file that looks for android_audio.mp3. I flashed many ROMS where the sound has been disabled as well. Other phones that are not playing the sound could try our executable. It's pretty standard and I don't think it's device specific.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdfxcln:
for the nexus, has anyone tried to zip the bootanimation with the sound in it and then push that to the phone?
