Droid X Boot Animation (w/ DROID sound)

Hey guys. I know this is about and around, but we got the sound working on boot (the "DROID" noise). So here's how you do it:
1. download both files below
2. UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder
3. leave the "bootanimation.zip" file zipped, put in your sdk/tools folder
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should work; if anyone has problems let me know.
ENJOY!
***UPDATE***
If you're still having issues with the sound not working, first make sure that you are unzipping the "android_audio" file...then pushing the .mp3 contained within the zip file.
Second, if it still doesn't work, try this in adb:
cd data
cd local
rm android_audio.mp3
rm bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then repush the two files!

works like a charm!!

is this supposed to replace the vzw animation? i followed and i dont see anything different. under my data folder in astro nothign is there just data dir and thats it no local

Worked like a charm for me... thanks...

both files successfully push. the animation works but no audio plays. any suggestions?

very nice love it

nice work, thank you

Thanks looks really good.

parkson, rinse, wash repeat, your doing something wrong, do it from inside adb on computer

When I do:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
I get:
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
Now what?
*EDIT*
I figured it out. Was trying to do this in Clockwork Mod recovery. Had to change to disk drive mode while the phone is running.

do we just need to delete these files to go back?

Will this sound work on the DINC? I have the boot animation but have not installed the sound yet.

yup it works thanks.

I keep getting adb: not found
EDIT:
Fixed it from irc, thanks guys.
Just did
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
without the adb shell

i kept getting permission denied doing it through adb, but doing it in root explorer worked perfect, audio and boot animation are great

Does any one have the sound working?

will this work on the incredible?

Boot animation sound

I installed the leaked OTA and have tried to delete the android_audio.mp3 for the boot animation but I still get the "droid" sound on bootup. I deleted it from /system/media as that is the only place I could find it. Anyone have any ideas on how to disable the sound.
Thanks

did you do it with adb shell and while in recovery?

Yup

do you want to delete it or change it to a different one? here's an mp3 with no sound if you can't delete it. just make sure you unzip it before pushing it to /data/local/

load boot animations without being in recovery(must be rooted)

I was messing around with root explorer and noticed that i was able to delete my boot animation with it when i was mounted as R/W so i thought i would try to copy one and it also works... so no need to push with adb shell.. here are the steps
1. take the boot animation make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card
2. then open root explore and mount R/W and then navigate to the file and press on file till the menu comes up and select copy
3. then navigate to data/local and paste the file in the local directory
and you are done, this can be done with the android_audio.mp3 file as well just paste it to the same place.
just thought this would make it easier for people instead of using adb shell

Exactly what I was looking for, I'll give it a try, thanks.
The Animation worked but the Audio didn't, do you also need to put the Audio in a zip file?

I didn't think that you needed root to access /data/
So in that case, would need Root Explorer? Wouldn't any file manager do?

Yeah, you dont need root access at all for this.
just adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

need to look at the text file in your bootanimations.zip and add the words android to the front of the text in that file

[MOD] Sense 2.06 BootAnimation from /data/local

A mod that you apply to a flashed rom then the boot animation runs from /data/local and can be replaced manually or using boot animation changer.
Flash after any Sense rom that normally has bootanimation in /system/customize/resource
It will delete the 2 files in /system/customize/resource
Flash my own custom bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /data/local/ (Only to make sure it works)
create the required symlinks that survive reboot's.
You can then just replace the files in /data/local/ as needed.
Thanks to lambrospower for the idea
[edit]
BootAnim_Restore added, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource

i am greatly thank you for all the support you gave me...very nice MOD although i integrated it into my rom...very good for all the others that do not bake their roms!!!!
there is a slight renaming typo....bootA[m]i[N]_to_Data

This works on Official froyo/sense ROM but I have one question. How can I edit the path in the ZIP file to \data\local\ when I change the boot animation in your ZIP file. The reason is because I have tried various bootanimation.zip file but none seem to change from yours and boot animation lite doesnt have the one I want.

It's already /data/local,
Just use ADB or a file manager and replace the one this zip install's in /data/local/

I know the file path is already there but when I replace the bootanimation it also deletes the path. It doesnt keep it.
I am looking to avoid ADB as I dont understand it and when I view the SD card I can see a folder called data but there is no local folder.

These do not go on the SDcard, but on internal memory.
You can replace the zip file inside the zip I attached then flash it turning signature check off.

Will disabling signature check put the bootanimation.zip in the correct place?
As I said, i tried simply changing the bootanimation.zip in the archive but when I do that it deletes the path that the file has to go to ie, \data\local\.

Thank you so much for this!
I can finally have a good bootanim.

try after updating the zip not to change its mode....keep it to store...do not use any compression...it might be this the problem

Finally sussed out how to replace the bootanimation.zip file and retain the correct path. All good now.
Thanks Klutsh for a usefull little tool.

Brilliant!
Thnx!

BootAnim_Restore added to the first post, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource

How did you end up managing to do it as I too can't find a local folder in my data folder...
when i ran the bootamin_to_data zip my phone changed boot animation to a gentleman with text saying DeLite (or similar) but still I couldn't find a local folder in my data folder, nor could i find wher this delite image was stored, so i ran the restore.zip and am now back to where I started...

After the change files are stored in /data/local/

Now this is brilliant!!
Ever since the Froyo came out for the desire it's been very hard to put custom bootanimations to the desire. NOT ANYMORE!!!!
Thanx a bunch mate!

ok, can someone tell me where to push the Bootanimation files to?
Presumably if they're on the phone i cannot navigate to the file using a pc & USB?
Should i use ADB in which case, can you tell me the script for the ADB command
Or should i transfer to the SD and use rootexplorer / astro to move it to the data/local file?
OK Sorted it, i just put bootanimation.zip in Android/tools, then use ADB command
C:\androidSDK\tools>adb push bootanimatino.zip data/local

[Q] remove bootanimation

Hey people,
I had the transformers bootanimation installed in my unrooted transformer using the adb push to data/local. I wish to remove the same and revert back to the default.
I tried deleting the bootanimation in the data/local, but even now, the transformers bootanimation still comes up.
On reading the various related posts in the forum, I was led to believe that just the deletion of the bootanimation in the data/local folder should cause a reversal to the default boot animation.
Also, upon checking if the bootanimation.zip in the system folder, I saw that it contained the default bootanimation only.
Could anyone direct me towards how do I go about correctly reverting the bootanimation to the default?
Thanks.

Yes deleting the bootanimation.zip from data/local should revert to the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Maybe you have the same bootanimation in system/media?

Sorry, but the bootanimation in system/media is the original ASUS one... I even copied and pasted that one to data/local, but no luck..

what method did you use to delete the file from data/local?
obviously since you're not rooted you must beusing adb correct?
what's the command you're using?

I actually used the inbuilt file manager and deleted using that..
Ohh. So do I have to remove the file using adb too? If thats the case, could you tell me the command please?
Thanks

I didn't realized you could access rootfolder without root.
Anyway try
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Thanks,.. that worked...
Actually, you are right.. Before, when I did not get where data/local was present, i had created a folder with the same name in the storage. I had put the .zip file in that. After that, I did the adb push method to actually get the boot animation to work. And i forgot abt that.
