SOA Bootscreen w/sound - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

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.

evo stock bootscreen port?

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.

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?!?

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

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!

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 ....

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

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.

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

Change bootanimation

I have been searching on xda for some time now and here is a question. I am looking to change my bootanimation on the s3 as I am not happy with the verizon animation. When I had the droid bionic, all I had to do was change the name of the animation in system/media and place the new one and change accordingly. I saw two posts in here that did not exactly answer the question completely. If I flash an animation with cwm do I need to rename or move anything in system/media beforehand? Can the animation be extracted and just placed in the system/media folder? What is the best way to do this? I am rooted, stock with frozen bloat and some inverted gapps.
If you are rooted, you can use ROM Manager to change your boot animation quickly.
I have tried with rom toolbox however it did not work and I believe it mentioned something in rom toolbox about how it will not change if samsung uses a qmg format. Basically, I am asking for directions on how to change the boot animation once I have the new bootanimation.zip on my sd card. Is it even possible on the stock rooted s3?
I just used rom toolbox, found the one I wanted and installed it. Then went to recovery and flashed it, it showed an error, but I just left it alone and rebooted, and now I have a dancing droid! I would also recommend buying the full version so you can use the randomizer, its a fun feature.

I have the full version but changing the boot animation definitely does not work on a rooted stock ROM setup.
The bootanimation.zip support is dependent on a custom kernel on Samsung devices. In stock form only .qmg format will play. No one to this point can edit or create .qmg files, they are proprietary to Samsung devices and their Bada OS. If you want to change it you will need to flash imnuts' lean kernel (assuming you are stock rooted as it is a touchwiz kernel). On a side note i personally think the boot animation from the droid charge is pretty BA and is floating around the net in .qmg format, don't know if it would work or not though due to differences in screen resolution. Here it is if you want to give it a try, just unzip and rename/paste the files where they need to go. It also has audio, place in system/media/audio/ui.
http://db.tt/spY4QX4p
Like i said,i have no clue if it will actually work or not but you could try ..... or just flash the kernel and use whatever lol. It's not my fault if it breaks stuff. Sorry for the long winded answer.

Thank you. I just changed the animation to the stock Samsung one that I believe came on the i9300. Nothing special, but it is 100 times better than that Verizon boot animation.
Did you flash the zip file in recovery? If you use the randomizer I don't think you have to flash the zip though.

I did the same thing. I also swapped the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files for files with no sounds so the boot up and shutdown are now quiet. The replacement audio files may be found in this thread.

You can edit the .qmg files. You have to use Samsung's Theme Designer to view the .pngs. From there, you can edit the bootanimation how you like.
can the png sequence be extracted now? I wrote off using the theme designer a long time ago because i could not extract them

I presumed that if elreyden was able to change the animation to the i9300 stock one, that I should be able to do it also. The animation that he refers to won't work with a stock rom (contains jpg, not qmg files), hence my confusion. I thought I must have had found the wrong link.

Not sure what your particular situation is, but try putting the bootanimation.zip (not a flashable file. If you have one of those, extract the bootanimation.zip) to /data/local/ instead.
Tried it and it didn't work. I've given up - there doesn't seem to be a solution for stock rom. I will wait and probably flash a rom when they've had a chance to get solid.

I'm on a stock rom and changed my VZW animation to the I9300 w/o any real problem, other than locating the qmg files. I've included to 2 files that I used in the attached zip so you should have it pretty easy To use them simply extract the files and put them into the /system/media folder using Root Explorer or whatever root based file utility you prefer. I simply renamed my existing versions and then copied these into the folder and made sure the permissions were the same. Once done I rebooted and the VZW version was nowhere to be seen.
It's also possible to replace the audio files. I wound up using "empty" files so I no longer have to listen to startup/shutdown sounds either. :good:
ETA: Here's the link to the thread with the silent startup & shutdown sounds. Scroll down to post #9.

Thank you. I did this last week and it worked great. Stock Samsung bootanimation is less annoying than the Verizon 4glte one.

[Q] Boot animation sound??

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?
