Hi I was wondering if anybody knows if there is a way to make boot animation sound any louder? I've got the razr boot with sound working but it is extremely quiet. Thanks

Try the attached file.. it's loud (unzip, and the .ogg file is in there - xda said the .ogg was an invalid file type, so I just zipped it).
I'm assuming you know how to swap the files so i won't go into that (if not, just ask, or search).
In general, I don't think the boot animation volume is controlled by the system volume, so I think you need to amplify the original sound file with a sound editing program before you put it on your device..

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.
Ok So I currently have a Nexus S 4G and I would love to add sound to my current boot animation. I am rooted and I have tried putting boot.mp3 and .ogg (separately of course) in system/media, in the boot animation, and data/local. I've tried this on Deck, Oxygen, and CM7. No one has been able to help me with this yet so lets see if you guys over at XDA have what it takes.

needs to go into /system/media/audio/poweron/ and the file needs to be called poweron.ogg and there probably is a size limitation.

There was no power on folder so I added one(tried poweron and power on) didn't work.
you probably need some sort of script initializing it too. ive got a boot sound with an old trinity kernel. it has the folder and file. ill look if there is a script somewhere too. you should send morfic an email, thats his kernel. he can explain the process better. his email is in his signature of all his posts. tell him i sent you.

Check the capitalization.
I have a Samsung Nexus S 4G as well and I too would like to know if anyone has figured it out, i'm using cyanogen mod.
I have tried:
system/etc/PowerOn.wav and .ogg (and also poweron.ogg and poweron.wav)
system/media/audio/poweron/PowerOn.wav and .ogg (and also poweron.ogg and poweron.wav)
system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.wav and .ogg (and also poweron.ogg and poweron.wav)
None of those worked, and the phone is not set to Silent.

Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and the owner to root/root.
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

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!

Also the animation doesn't finish because the phone boots up too quick lol

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...

Quick question guys.
I was able to change the boot animation on my Atrix 2 WITHOUT rooting... by following Big Lou's method posted here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/12841-big-lous-boot-animation-tutorial-noobs.html
and adb pushing the bootanimation.zip to data/local
I put the Droid Razr boot animation, but now I want to add the sound which goes along with it. I'm pushing it using ADB as well and it seems to be going through, but every time I reboot my phone... still no sound!
any ideas and options available?
Aside from rooting
Android will look for a bootanimation first in /data/local, then in /system/media. However, as far as I know you can only alter the boot sound by writing to /system/media... I may be wrong though as I haven't experimented with boot sounds.
The sound file should be a .ogg file. Add it to the same location as the bootanimation.zip and it should work. Having tried it on the A2 but I know this worked on the OG ATRIX

What I know for a fact works, since I've done it on my A2, is putting the bootanim and the ogg sound file in /system/media

Yeah I tried pushing the .ogg audio file to data/local but it doesn't work. It would definitely work if I put it directly in the system/media folder, but that would need root

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?
