give me the clips (links from youtube or other site) from where you want the animation and i'll do it for ya....

You rock man! So just a quick glance through YouTube and I found this one. Thought it would be quite fitting for a boot animation. If you can make it with the sound, then this is def the one I want to use. If no sound, I'll find a better one. Thanks a million to the moon and back!

super.... im not sure if i can make it with sound cuz what im running now doesn't support bootanimations with sound so is going to be impossible for me to test and make it right..... but i can create the Boot Animation only out of it.
EDIT :
this is animation only and is flashable throught CW.... hope you like it

1. get the sound file and rename it as Android_Audio.mp3
2. edit the desc.txt file with a new line that says p 1 0 Android
3. place the bootanimation.zip file in /data/local
4. place the Android_Audio.mp3 file in data/local (DO NOT PUT THE AUDIO FILE IN THE BOOTANIM ZIP!!)
enjoy!

Yep thats how it is...only problem is that 3.4.2 Leak and i have try it before in Liberty can't Run animations with sound...i know there is a way to do it doing a little modification on the build.prop (i dont remember if that is the correct file) to make this work but i really havent do it yet.

Tried to dl this and I think the link may be broken. Keeps saying page not found.
NM, got it downloaded. Renamed it, used liberty toolbox to install it and all I get is the gold rectangle on boot. Anything else I need to do to get it to work?

jejejeje like i mention on my last post this is a FLASHABLE ZIP throught CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
But if you want to use LIBERTY TOOLBOX what you only need to do is UNZIP the file and you see 2 folders goto DATA then LOCAL and you'll see bootanimation.zip just move/copy that zip file and then use liberty toolbox to finish the installation ....

Tried it through clockwork and it doesn't see the zip file. Tried to unzip it and it says "bad zip file"??
NM, re-downloaded it, flashed it through clockwork. Works like a charm! You rock man! I really appreciate it. Now I'm gonna try the sound idea from above to see if it'll work.

your welcome dude, i was about to say that LoL, cuz i just downloaded and flash it and work pretty well here too .... even is sound is donde right i doubt is going to work on liberty rom.... i have try doing and bootanimation with sound and isn't working on liberty neither on stock rom...

Try this one, I had to modify the video a little bit and I added the sgt. peppers mp3 to it, it should work.
If you don't like this song, or want to change it, you should be able to do it easily (if you change the song, make sure you call it "sgtpeppers" even though it will be a different song, unless you change the song name in the desc.txt file).
Apply through bootstrap, do not rename to bootanimation.zip.

As someone who pioneered sound on the X, I would just like to point out that sounds work on ANY rom, as long as you do it the right way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F7V2IPS4
At that link is a .zip that should help out everybody.
Basically its an empty installable .zip that is installed easily through clockwork. You just need to place your audio file, and bootanimation.zip folder in the .zips system/media folder. As long as your desc.txt is correctly formatted, and bootanimation.zip is done properly then all that needs to be done is the bootanimation.zip in your phones data/local needs no be erased, or change the name to anything.zip.
i have included a file that goes into system/bin that *should* enable sound on any rom. It has worked perfectly through stock, rubix, and liberty..
Basically:
Unzip file
Place bootanimation.zip and audio.mp3 (or whatever you called it in you desc.txt) in the system/media
HHighligt the meta-inf and system folders, add them to archive, or zip them depending on which program you have.
ENSURE you set the compression to store, and the filetype to .zip. Name doesnt matter as this is just the install file.
Put on sdcard, clockworkmod, install, reboot and finally enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=356483&d=1278555629
that should be a file that allows to to check your animation on your computer, to see if u fudged up the desc.txt (which is real easy).
Just unzip the folder, open the file, bootanimationpreview1.5.exe then /file open your completed animation. If it plays, it will work on your phone, if not, the desc.txt is fudged.
Good luck all

Boot Animation Sound Files?

I'm currently running CM7 nightly. I can't seem to find a post anywhere explaining just exactly how or where, or what you need to do to place a .ogg sound file to work on boot. Also I would assume it needs to be renamed also. Help please! Thanks!

I've been trying to figure this out as well.

Well it used to work pre-ginerbread for me, but after GB now the Startup and shut down sounds are gone. Since CM7 is 2.3.5 I'm pretty sure it should go into /system/media/poweron/PowerOn.ogg. HOWEVER this does not seem to work for me in the OTA GB that was released. It worked before in Froyo but not GB.
in Eclair it was a .wav file and was placed in /etc/PowerOn,wav (/system/etc/ is the same place)
In Froyo it seemed to have been moved to /system/media/poweron/PowerOn.ogg
In Gingerbread It should go in either /system/media/Poweron.ogg OR /system/media/poweron/PowerOn.ogg
I just did two at once and couldnt tell which it was and I'm at work so playing with my phone constantly is hazardous to my budget.

Now that I think of it, I have not had any custom ROMs that have the PowerOn sound, nor the PowerOff sound enabled.
I'm thinking it must be some script that needs to be run?
I know the location of the audio files.
But they won't play.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

There is a script somewhere on XDA called bootsnd.sh. It enables power on sound but not power off animation + sounds I believe.

Power Off animation and sounds are contained within poweroff.apk in the system/app directory. You can decompile, change animation and sounds and recompile but make sure sound files are not compressed.

I checked Cyanogen and a few other ROMs I have on my PC. None have the poweroff.apk file.
I thought that maybe I'd find it in a stock ROM. Lucky me: Stock Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted flashable zip v1.0.0
I was able to locate the audio files.
But my question is this:
can i remove all the other files? and leave only the audio files? will it still work?
I'd hate to try and end up spending an hour or two trying to figure something out that I don't know how to do.
(I've read that I would have to "sign" the apk before putting it on my device. I found the intruction/thread for that)

You do not resign system apps after you modify them. If you do they won't work. Just recomplile and zip align them.

[Q] Awesome boot animation not working ):

I was wondering how I would add this file (both animation and sound) to my bootanamation, I tryed using the instructions it gave on the website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922007) but when I tried to flash it it said instillation aborted???
Thanks for the help
Youtube video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07SZtsOyew0

Maybe the files are not compatible with rom version.
Try flashing another boot animation for SGS4G.

Correct me if Im wrong but that's not a flashable zip and that's why it isn't flashing that's a bootanimation zip file just push the file to /system/media with rootexplorer or any file explorer and it will work just tried it with Valhalla Black and confirmed it works also I have a thread in the general section on bootanimations I'm making and finding as well so I might put this one there
As for sound I believe we don't have sound support for bootanim yet but again maybe I'm wrong
Thank's aren't asked for but appreciated

erikmm is correct you need to extract the files and copy them to the proper folder.
And yes our phone supports bootsounds.

Make sure zip file compression mode is STORAGE, otherwise it won't work!

Extract the sound file. Convert it to wav format, name it PowerOn.wav, push to system/media. Should work.
There are limitations to length and bit rate so if it doesn't work try to slim it down.

Nevermind.......

Just want to stress the SGS4G DOES support boot sounds and shutdown sounds. Not sure why its thought otherwise. The phone comes from the factory with both. It only makes sense assume its still there. People (myself included) like to have them as its a indication of reboots.

As been said here, bootanimation.zip on system\media and PowerOn. wav on system\etc should do the work.
I recommend the power on sound to not exceed 10 seconds and using JPGs on the boot animation, takes less space...

Sons of Anarchy boot w/ sound (Links Up)

Here is the boot animation and also the theme to the show.
Push the bootanimation.zip to system/media. Rename the existing file to bootanimation.zipold.
If you want the sound push the wav file to ect and rename existing file to PowerOn.wavold. I have only tried replacing existing files not sure if will work if you have no boot sound.

Sorry for the delay on the links. Can't get the files loaded as attachments but the dropbox links are up and working!
Again use at your own risk and so far have only tested on ROM that had existing startup sound.

Glad to see you got it up nd running

Good work man!
Tip: renaming the files to bootanimation.zipold should be bootanimation.zip.old, same with the poweron.wav file. Or you could rename it to .bak, that is how some of the various apps do it so the filesystem thinks it is a backup file. I think sdmaid will remove .old files when using it that is why I suggest using the .bak extension.

Couple of things...
First, while I do appreciate the thanks, I was under the assumption you were going to add this to a full ROM you were working on and not just post it in another forum. If that was the case you could have just linked to my post that I did for this. The reason I never posted it in any other phone forums is that the resolution is set specifically for the Galaxy S Vibrant, therefore may have not looked as good on other devices.
Second, for the sound to work, it all depends on your kernel. I never did one for mine cause the majority of people that use the device I designed the bootanimation.zip for had VooDoo kernels and those do not support boot sound.
Third, if you're wanting to make it flashable you're going to have to learn the code for the recovery system you are using for the phone. I used to have a flashable version of mine, but when codes changed for CWM Recovery, I just figured it was easier to tell people where to push the file to.
Again, I do appreciate the thanks, but next time be a little clearer on what you're doing with someone else's work before posting it as your own.
Thank you

Guys, is this boot animation exactly the same from Galaxy Nexus? For example, it will fit completely inside Galaxy Note screen?
And if I use this file, later I can change again to another file without any problems, right? For example, to the boot animation ZIP file from Jelly Bean.

Cool!! Finally the stock Samsung logo boot animation.
Is it possible to get a higher resolution??
Thanks mate!
