r2d2 boot animation

ok, here is what i have. a droid x running liberty 1.5 - i have done adb push bootanimation.zip to /data/local and also to system/media, and several variants. the .desc file plays audio from /data/local- on boot i see the animation fine, but i never hear audio.? other droid x thread recommend other /system/media/ subfolders, and /system/bin - i have attached the bootanimation.zip file, and the .ogg audio file. any adivce appreciated. thanks.

***sound DO NOT WORK on liberty Rom (dont ask me why cuz i really dont know),***

here, i made a flashable .zip that will change a file in /system/bin that allows sound. also included, it flashes the original file but just renamed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?17suy3rpp068v1m
tell me if it works. If it doesnt, just extract the file and pull the original, push the new one.
And sound DOES work on liberty. i know because i have sound

i also made the desc for you.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fvotspfoi24vtky
btw the sound file goes in /system/media. name it what you want, but the name change must be reflected in the desc. and if you dont want sound, just dont put that line in the desc.txt fie.

this is what i get after applying your pull - push - i appreciate the help

oh, also the boot animation on the phone is black now, there doesn't appear to be one. it goes from the boot logo to phone screen now.
i also re-edited the .desc to reflect the audible in the /system/media location

I've got the same issue. When I move the bootanimation.bin to system/bin and reboot, the boot animation is just a black screen. I've got gingerbread rooted and the boot animation works before I replace the stock bootanimation.bin, just no sound.
Also, do need to extract the audio file or leave it zipped and put it directly into the system/media directory?
One more thing. I listened to the audio file, and it doesn't sound like r2d2... it sounds like a Godzilla sound bite. =D

for gingerbread stock build do not change the bootanimation file located in /system/bin you will get the black screen.
sound is already enabled, just drop the sound file in /system/media/audio/notifcation folder

Changing boot animation?

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.

Thanks bubba.

Best I can do!
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)

Big bang theory show intro bootanim

Is it possible? How hard would it be to do?

should be pretty simple

I just made one, but for some reason I do not see it when my TF boots, once I figure it out, I'll put it up here for you.

Yes, I'm trying to load it on my TF, when I reboot the screen just goes black

he's asking where you're putting it on your transformer...
as in /data/local or system/media
it matters on our devices i think.
also, how did you take the video and make it into images. I found out how to do it, but i end up with 900 JPEGs and I need .pngs ...

I put it in the /data/local folder.
I used mplayer to convert an avi into jpg.
mplayer file.avi -vo jpeg
or
mplayer file.avi -vo png
I have followed a butt load of tuts and I'm still getting a black screen on boot. :S
I just converted all images to png and I get the same results.

i would double check the desc.txt file.
can you go ahead and post what you have, maybe someone can take a look at it.

This is what is in my desc.txt:
1280 800 30
p 1 0 part0

Like to know how this is coming this is something I am interested in.

Hopefully i will have this figured out soon

Make sure that when you create the .zip you use no compression.

Thanks, that just might be the problem.
update: Thanks hawkxcore that did it. For others, in linux this is how I did it:
zip -0 bootanimation.zip part0/* desc.txt
* The -0 stores the files without compression.

Ok got some progress. Got the animation to load, but I need to shrink the images a bit, currently the zip file is 98M. So let me play with this tonight and I'll get it ready to post here tomorrow
Here's what I got so far, got it down to 13MB: http://mir.cr/TUZXFHB1

although i cant root my transformer i do know a way to make bootanims from videos.
use after effects and it can do the png thing also you can make custom 3d looking anims in there. if you dont have it use a free trial or some of those torrents things. not suggedting anything and not condoning illegal stuff its your choice.

your transformer doesn't need to be rooted to install boot animations. I installed it on hers and her's isn't even rooted to this day.
You push it with adb - "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I'll upload some boot animations soon, I've become quite good at making them over the past couple days.
Anybody that is having trouble with their boot animation.. don't be stupid like me. I was taking the bootanimation folder that I was making them in and I compressed that folder. And I kept compressing that instead of just the contents (desc.txt and folder1), stupid mistake, but an easy one to make.

Has anyone tried this bootanimation ?
I'm trying to figure out how to add audio to the animation, but it looks like it requires a ROM tweek. If anyone has any information on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

[FONT=&quot]Well the first place I posted this was deleted (original CM6 thread by Isaac) so I've decided to post it again in a new thread because some people want to know how to do it.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]1: Add these lines to your build.prop file -[/FONT]

[boot animation] Modded Galaxy Nexus Intro animation with note 10.1 logo

You have probably seen this boot animation before, but this one is made from scratch.
I wasn't satisfied with the image quality of other versions and didn't like the fact that all of them have Nexus logo at the end, so I used original 1080p video as base and added Note 10.1 logo transition at the end.
You can find the original video here.
I converted first part of animation and resided frames to 1280x800 and made custom ending to be more convenient for Note 10.1.
Downloads:
HQ version
jpg quality: 100%
size: 14MB
Optimized version
jpg quality: 80%
size: 7.48MB
Version with original sound coming soon. I need to extract and convert audio first.
Flash over CWM.
If you ROM doesn't support custom boot animation, you need to flash Bootanimation4U form this thread first.
All credits goes to the author(s) of the original animation that I just adopted!
If this violates any copyright of the author(s) of original animation, please let me know and I will remove it.
I used original 1080p video as base and I didn't use any part of any similar boot animation.
Change log:
2013-01-23 - Initial HQ version and optimized version published

I am not sure how package for TWRP should look since I do not use it. If package format is same I think that there is no reason for this one not to work.
In worst case, you can extract bootanimation.zip from package and put it to your /system/media/. File need to have 644 (rw-r--r--) permissions.

Thanks job well done even without sound.

Hi I installed this over CWM but nothing changed.. Do I have to do something else to work this..?? Iam on TundraRom and it supports custom bootanimations so why it is not working for me..??

If any other custom boot animation work on your device, there is no reason for this one to fail.
I see in list of features of Tundra ROM v.2.0 [UEUCMA3] (which is released today), that it have custom boot animation enabled. I do not know if this is new feature or not.
If you see an original boot animation during boot that is almost sure sign that your ROM do not support custom boot animations.
ROM with support for custom boot animation, when there is no /system/media/bootanimation.zip present, or if that file have wrong permissions (less then 644) you should see default Android animation. To be sure, check if you have /system/bin/bootanimation and /system/bin/samsungani.
If you do not have them, flash Bootanimation4U. Check first post for link to if you need it.
If you have them, check if you have /system/media/bootanimation.zip. It needs to have at least 644 permission (rw-r--r--).

hhmm this is frustrating.. i'm quite sure i enabled custom bootanimation support on dsixda's kitchen... but ValenteL confirmed that he needed to use bootanim4u to make it work.......... darn......... i'll just remove the custom bootanim support in my OP just to avoid confusion... will also check my files here...
and i'll try this bootanim just to make sure..

Bootanimation4U puts bootanimation and samsungani from the archive in /system/bin folder and sets permissions to 755.

I also hope that you made a typo and that last file is actually /system/media/bootanimation.zip

I suggest you to delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip and to reboot your device.
Do you have default Android animation (Android written in green letters) on boot?
If you do not have it, something is wrong with custom boot animation support.

Nope.. Why.. How..??

[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?
