I have CM9 running ICS on my Triumph, loving it. The only question I have is where are the locations for the powerup and powerdown audio files? I found the audio folders but didn't know where to put a powerup file. I'm assuming it would go into /system/media, possibly into /audio/ui and just rename it to Powerup.mp3. Not sure if there is another folder somewhere else, the folder structure is different than Froyo and that's what I'm used to tweaking. Thanks in advance!

can anybody port the stock sprint evo bootscreen for our hero's? i know it's pretty basic but i like the look of it.
Possibly
I have been customizing the stock bootscreen for the Hero. If you have the Evo files or a .gif animation I can give it a try.

Above has the boot screen link to download the file. I would be intrested in the boot screen as well, if you can do it.
????
Hey sorry for the delay, I have been out of town for a few weeks. The link here doesn't seem to have the stock EVO files. Only links for customized animations.

You are right, sorry. I thought the first zip file was the stock one. Oops, I will post a question on the Evo board to request the stock boot screen animation since I do not see one anywhere on the internet.
Sounds good, I also have had a lot of trouble finding it.

Good new and bad news.
It turns out that the bootanimation.zip, in the link provided works fine on the OEM release w/ROOT and the latest [ROM] Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 For Hero CDMA.
I am still a "Junior Member" so I cannot post links or files.
Anyway.... since these 2 releases use the bootanimation.zip for the animation, any sequence of .PNG files with the proper desc.txt file will work in .ZIP format. Even if the resolution is incorrect.
Audio has been my problem at this point. For the life of me I can't figure out how the EVO will play audio and the HEROc will not even using the bootanimation.zip config instead of the other ROM's using a .GIF file and .XML files.

In Nfinitex45's rom there is a zip file containing the same layout you discussed. I took all 35 png files out of the sprint folder which is the animation that it plays in the boot screen. What I did is created a animated gif with all those file in gimp. Then took Fresh's rom 2.0d. And extracted the bootscreen folder. I took that xml file with some of those animated gif files along with the one i created from all the png files and created a bootscreen with animation and sound. I did this to test out if it would work and it seemed to work, after removing the .zip file in system/media. And placing the bootscreen folder in system/media. The only thing I see that we will need to do for this animation is change the size of the pics to the hero's resolution, besides that do the same procedure and it should work. (i think)
I have noticed with some rom's people use the .gif .xml combo. I will try doing what you said and we'll see what happens.
Also does Fresh's rom 2.0d play audio on boot, i am curious if there is a line in the .xml file that calls to a specific .mp3 file?

Yes it has a line for the audio that plays mp3's.
Yup..
It all depends on the ROM. Some use a .zip file with a series of .png images and a properly formatted .desc file.
Other Rom's use an .xml file with a .gif animation and .mp3 file for audio on boot.
seems like roms built for sprint using android 1.5 or 1.6 used .xml config, newer 2.1+ roms are using the .zip .png combo??????
I really don't see a pattern.
Long story short the files provided can be used for ROM's that use the xml config because it supports audio on boot.
That's all I got..

Yeah I tried to create the boot animation as well, but the images got all discolored when creating a gif. I tried several times only to fail, so I gave up. What's weird is I did the same thing for the files contained in Nfinitex45's rom and it worked fine. IDK?!?

I'll get it done today.
Here is flashable zip with the Evo Bootscreen:Evo Bootscreen
Or download from the attachment below
There is no sound right now. I need to figure out exactly why I can't get sound even while using the xml layout.
If you want to push it to your phone unzip and navigate to system/media and push bootanimation.zip to /system/media via adb

Thanks for creating it.
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.
I've done a fair bit of googling and searching here on XDA but haven't found anything that worked and wondered if perhaps I was simply doing something incorrectly.
I've tried placing my poweron.mp3 and poweroff.mp3 in folders with those same names under root\system\media\audio
the files themselves directly in the audio folder, tried them under system\etc
and I believe another location but no matter what I hear nothing when booting using EB's build 2.
Anybody have any ideas on where to go next with this?
They need to be in .ogg format. Go here (http://media.io/) and convert the .mp3 files to .ogg and place them in the poweron and poweroff folders under System\Media\Audio. They should be named PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg respectively. Should work after that.
Should this work under CM7 / EB 2.3.7 also? I just tried it exactly as you said and no dice
Are this and the reason we can't have bootanimation(is that poweron?) noises the same?
Cause if so... That's a CM7(probably 9) issue.
I've been googling for a few days now and can't seem to find how to use poweron/poweroff sounds with CM-based ROMS. Anybody else have any luck?
I guess the Cyanogen stuff may not support it. I use Weapon w/Faux Kernel and it works fine for me. Sorry guys.
I'll try asking on the cyanogen forums and post any relevant answers here. Thanks again though.
I am trying to make a custom boot w/sound but last time I tried getting sound to work I bricked my phone. Any help would be appreciated. I also am considering trying to figure out how to do a SOA theme for SCOM.
BTW somebody created the same boot animation on another phone but with no sound. So I have that already.
Maybe this will help you or atleast point you in the right direction.

I found somebody who created the same animation that I wanted to do so I have reposted the bootanimation.zip and have converted the theme to wav format (don't know if I needed to do that or not) and replaced the PowerOn.wav from the ect folder. The rom I am using already had boot sound. So I was able to just replace the files. What I want to know is the bootsnd.sh file listed in the tutorial the same file needed for our phone? Also it listed a different directory for pushing the sound file. Is this something that is different per phone or ROM or just a preference?

I have a feeling I know what bootsnd.sh file your talking about. No you dont need that for the current roms for the phone. That script is for phones running roms like CM7 that dont have bootsound turned on.
Put the poweron.wav in the same directory as the factory one is now. In converting the file to wav did you just rename it or actually convert it using a program on your pc? Just renaming it will not always work.

I have a conversion program on my system. I have the animation and the audio file posted in themes right now. Planning on tweaking it a bit and making it my own creation once I have more of an idea of where I want to take it. And will be attempting to make it flashable in a week or two I hope.
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?
