Tried a quick search, but couldnt find anything that really helped. I installed ApeX a while ago, and got tired of my boot. I installed the pro boot animation, found here, but I want the stock startup shutdown sounds enabled again. How could I do this? Ive tried editing build.prop as suggested by birdman at alldroid, and tried putting android_audio.mp3 in the data/local folder. Im not a total noob, but I was hoping someone has experience with this.
EDIT: Finally got the startup sound to work, but no shutdown sound still. Any ideas?

You have to edit desc.txt in the bootanimation zip to match the apex sound file name and extension.
The droid pro bootanimation you installed most likely calls for "droid.ogg" for the sound, you need to change it to call for (let's say the apex sound is called apex.mp3), well, you need to change desc.txt to call for "apex.mp3" instead of "droid.ogg". Make sure you put "apex.mp3" in the correct location system/media.

Does anyone know, how to delete the Samsung boot animation with sound and replace it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901468
i dont have lagfix, using froyo 2.2 JPF firmware, which is rooted and busybox is installed.
Hi, did you recognise that there is a bootuplogo (or something similar) executable somewere in the system folders? Found it a few days ago, but unfotunately I dont remember the exact dir of it. Greez
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
there is a bootani file or something similar
you can delete it, but than there is the problem with the sound
there is no bootlogo, but the bootsound is here :/

Put your phone in no sound mode ?
when i put my phone on no sound mode, there is no sound, thats logical.
i mean, where the bootanimation is, there is a black screen for about 5 seconds (bootsound length) and i want that it should go direct to the android boot logo you ported from the sdk emu.
i was just wondering if anyone knew how to change the shutdown animation on an inspire. i was able to change the boot animation but i tried the same method with the shutdown one and was unsuccessful .
I'd like to know this as well. I was just thinking about it last night.
I can't find where to place the .png
I am actually working on one right now. It is pretty much the same concept as a bootanimation.
if you figure it out, be sure to post it.
It's called downanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource. See this thread for more information as well as Shutdown animations.
Try using root explorer, replace the file /data/local/downanimation.zip and set the permissions rw-r--r--
It worked for me.
I found the files, pulled it, edited it with the new images and pushed it back. Yet it plays the same animation. Any ideas?
Bump, anyone? Im sure someone knows the problem... Thanks.

LOCATIONS OF SOUNDS AND ANIMATIONS
Startup sound;
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Startup animation;
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/bin/bootanimation
Shutdown sound;
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
Shutdown video (directory of .qmg);
/system/media/shutdown/
Thanks man but as of right now we cant modify these, right?
So I used Root Explorer to rename the poweron.wav to poweron.wav.bak, and now I have no retardulous bootup sound!
Has anybody tried renaming the bootup animation files to or replacing them with null files or something? I wouldn't be surprised if it results in failed bootup.

The above sounds intimidating, but I would be stoked if somebody posted a walkthrough.
I was thinking it might best be left up the ROM developer, but I'm sure many people on a given ROM would want the boot animation. I would like it disabled, or better yet, I would like to see what the phone is doing (kindof like Windows XP Safe Mode Startup)
I have read the information on manually changing the boot animations, but has anyone used a tool to do it? Rom Tool Box and a slew of other apps have change boot animation functions. I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used any stand alone app to accomplish this? also boot logos?

I tried Rom Toolbox but it doesn't chance animation on mine. I don't know nor can find where the settings or the directory is on the tf700 is to change it in Rom toolbox. If you know... please share it or a link to the answer. Thanks
Ice, rooted and unlocked. NVflash backup
Boot Animations works fine.
Apparemtly tf700 users can't get this to work either. just need to know which dir tf700 actually uses.

I've copied an LCARS one to /data/local and works perfectly.
How To Change, Customize & Create Android Boot Animation [Guide]
So you have found a boot animation that you want to install on your phone? Created one of your own and can’t wait to see it in action on your device? All you have to do is copy it at a certain location on your device. There are two locations you can copy it: /data/local and /system/media, and both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of copying it to /data/local is that you will not require root access for it and it should work for all non-rooted devices without running the risk of changing anything in the /system partition. Furthermore, if a bootanimation.zip file is found in both locations, Android ignores the one found in /system/media and gives priority to the one in /data/local. A disadvantage of this method is that upon a hard reset (also called a full data wipe or a factory reset), the new boot animation will be lost.
Copying the boot animation to /system/media/ is possible only if your device is rooted and you have read+write access to the /system partition. An advantage of this method is that upon a hard reset, the new boot animation will still remain and there will be no need to apply it again. A disadvantage is that it requires ADB or a root level file browser such as Root Explorer or Super Manager.

Thanks for the info. I saw that and tried it but no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried to change it with ROM Toolbox pro also an doesn't work. Am rooted and unlock but no JOY. I did find the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file but it just doesn't load.
Update: I copied the animation.zip files to both /system/media and also data/local. The only thing that loads is the White Asus sign for about 5 sec then a Black screen for about 20 sec then boots normally. Theres got to be a setting that directs the bootanimation file to load but can't find what file the boot looks for to load where to find bootanimation.zip.

This, to me, looks like the animation is corrupt or is not a boot animation. Check out this tool. Restore the original animation to /system/media and then use the one in the link of my previous post and put that in /data/local.
Thanks. I checked out the program and tried it but got errors pushing the file. to /media but it worked going to /local. tried previewing with romtools pro but not working. I'm stumped. Found a bunch of treads for this problem but nothing. files are not corrupted. I can get the boot animation files to run outside of android on a pc ect but not while trying to get them to animate inside there folders.... /local or /media. Somewhere in the boot process it's not loading. Need to find out why the White Asus animation works for a few seconds and where it is. It used to turn Brown/ Goldish and rotate but no longer. Anyone else with any guess's?
Also: Forgot to mention am using the JB bootloader.

That is not the boot animation of Asus, it's a still image embedded in either the bootloader or something close to it. It's not mean to be customized, the metallic ASUS logo with the light effect and then the circular progress indicator are part of the default bootanimation.zip

Yes of Course I'd be willing to share it. As I said I can view it outside of the floders on a Windows PC running the boot animtion progam. The one I was tring to install comes with RomToolbox Pro. The droid Peeing on an APPLE... need a few hours sleep as am to tied to keep messin with this. will get back to you... OH... I deleted all animation zip files also and still get the ASUS screen. non animated. whereever that file is it's corrupted I think.

Sorry for the wait. I have no way of uploading the animation file in question here. Looking for somewhere to upload it so you can look at it but as I said the file is not the problem. I need to reinstall the bootloader which is 9.4.5.30r01 Not sure how to just do that as I haven't looked into it. The 9.4.5.30r01 came from the nvflash tread in this forum. I need to research if I install a jb bootloader if I still have nvflash "JUST IN CASE" Have a nice day.

No problem, I have ROM Toolbox myself and got the animation. While playing around (copying animations to my tablet from my NAS) I figured out what might be wrong on your side.
Make sure your bootanimation.zip is in /data/local and set the file permissions to rw-r--r--.

Thanks I already tried that. I found that in a post days ago but no luck. permissions where set right. Since my last post I updated to the 10.4.4.18 the odex version and I got bootanimation back. I backed it up using trwp 2.3.1.0 and tried changing it with Rom toolbox again. I set the paths to data/local in the settings. I installed the new bootanimation.zip file and rebooted. It would not boot up at all. Got past the white asus and went blank and I waited 10-15 min but noting. I rebooted by holding down power button for like 10-15sec and still would not boot up. Had to go back to trwp and reinstall my .18 backup and it started right up. Am going to give up for now till I can find out what is causing this for me and not others. Theres just something I'm missing and haven't pinned it down. Thanks for your time and effort. really appreciate it.
Update: 10-22 @11:34 pm. I got it working... Installed CleanRom 2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
Not even sure what I did other than flashed, wiped and reset. I checked the location of the bootanimation directory in this rom and it was only in /system/media. I read all the treads and info I could find. I used Rom Toolbox pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result and changed settings to install it in /data/local as everywhere I read suggested that directory. If you've read what I've tried in the past I already did that over and over. Checked the permissions of the file and all. the one thing I didn't do was remount the zip file after copying to the directory. I didn't think I would have needed to since toolbox would have handled that... I though. Thats the only thing I can think of why it wouldn't load on boot is because it wasn't remounting. Anyways. I got it working but to be honest I still don't know why and I actually wanted to know why... A learning experiance if you want. One more time... Thanks a million for your time.

The reason why it don´t work is that Asus maybe has integrated a check of system files in some asus app or in the kernel (don´t now)
Changing Bootanimation does only work for me with a cleanrom and cm10.
as you sad when you change it in the stock rom it wont boot anymore.
So Asus dont want that someone removes their bootanimation i think

You don't have to remove/replace the Asus bootanimation. Just place your own in /data/local set the correct permissions and you're good to go.
Ok so I have my boot animation installed and working but can't get the sound ogg file to work. My desc.txt file is properly set.
It used to work great on my bionic but cant get it to work on the GS3. Where in the world do you put the darn sound file?? The original desc.txt also states that it will read the sound file at /system/media.
Of course I put it there and it doesn't work. The sound file is called bionic.ogg. anybody have any idea?
Bump?
