Hi all, just got my HOS and am loving it so far (and our community ) and I got my boot animation and down animation changed no problem on stock rom, s-off. Now that leaves me with the boot audio, I want to simply use the htc_boot.mp3 that's already in the resources folder instead of the T-mobile one, I changed the default.xml to
audio="/system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and restarted to test, no audio, then I went back into the xml and noticed right next to the audio string
audiostart="TMOUS"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which I believed was the start of the old boot animation, so I changed it from TMOUS to TrueBlack (my bootanimation name) and tested, still no luck, so I'm at a loss here, I figure it has something to do with the audiostart= line but I wanted to come here and ask before I messed with it anymore, any help would be appreciated! And I'm glad to be a part of this community now
My customize.xml currently-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also for those of you who haven't done it yet, I just changed the line at the bottom fps="15" from 15 to 30 and the bootup&down looks 20x smoother.
Figured it out, for those of you who'd like to know, on the line
audiostart="TMOUS"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
simply remove the value, making it
audiostart=""
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and it'll work to whatever you set the boot audio as.
You could have done it the much easier way and renamed the htc_boot to whatever the name of your previous startup sound was. Saves you going through xmls

aww but that's no fun lol, sometimes the harder path is easier for me, besides I wanted to keep the files original, as why I put TrueBlack.zip and TrueBlackDown.zip in resource instead of just deleting the tmobile ones and naming them after that. An OCD I have kinda :s

All of these bootscreen's zips are flashable. Just put them on your SD card and flash them to use. You may have to delete (make sure to back it up) HTC's "bootanimation.zip" from your phone to get a new bootanimation. It is located in "system/media/".

This bootscreen doesn't repeat like in the picture below. After the animation below is completed, the clouds still move and the sun still shines but the grass doesn't grow again and the droid doesn't flip again.

With this boot animation, what you see is what you get.
View attachment SkateBoot.zip
Like the one above, what you see is what you get. Also, I did not make the images of the android on a skateboard, I found them on Google. I simply put them into the animation.
I like them!

I could try! I'll pm you when I'm done and you can tell me whether or not you like it. I don't think I'll finish today though.

No problem, i'm off to bed now anyways =] Can't wait to see when its done.
I think the skateboard one needs to be a 100th of a ms faster and the spiral one needs something in the middle. Otherwise I like em. I like that people are making bootscreens. Keep it up!
Is there any way that you could change the U.S. Cellular banner in the notification bar to what you want? Cause my buddy has an iPhone and he can change the att in his to whatever he wants and i was wondering if we could too.

hehe big help you are.
With iPhones that is actually just stored in a .plist file which is the equivalent of our .xml files. For them you can simply open the plist file with a file browser if you're jailbroken, and type whatever you want for that and literally any other text thing. (Even things like when you're deleting an app, you can make the popup ask you if you want to "get rid of this" and the buttons can say "hell yeah" or "oops" and every other text that you ever see on an iphone can be changed.)
With us, it isn't that simple. I don't think. I haven't looked inside our xmls enough, the filesystem is mildly confusing after being with iPhones for so long.

So it is possible then? Well someone should tell me what file to change so i can do that

For a second time, yes it is.
...I never said I knew off the top of my head how to do it, but it is possible.
If i wasn't already looking into it I would have told you to use google. since I've already found some resources, here you go;

You decompile framework-res.apk with apktool, open the XML folder - edit the ERI.xml (change whatever values you want), recompile and push to your phone, reboot and it will say what you want. It also changes the Network listed in about phone. (read through my porting guide for more detail)
EX. I made mine say Cyanogen

Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, after using the Android Emulator for the first time I wondered how the built-in boot animation would look on the phone itself. Quick search showed no-one had bothered.
I didn't keep it as my "daily driver" but since I went to the trouble of capturing the animation and editing it into something usable, I thought some people here might like it nonetheless.
Enjoy,
Darkshado

this likes good
Actually, this animation came with my G1 back in the day in one of the stock ROMs. I wanna say 1.6 is when they started using this animation. I prefer the old 1.5 version tho
With all the flashy, complex ones people throw around, it's kinda nice to have a simple straightforward one for a change.
Not trying to be the bad guy but; most android devices actually "fall-back" to this if you delete or rename /system/media/bootanimation.zip (verified on thunderbolt and xoom) The only thing missing the the initial "ANDROID" at the top. Deleting it actually can speed up your boot times and makes your system take up less space because there are no added files.
Nice..just what I was looking for
Actually, its already built into This App (there's a free version with it as well). But this seems like a much cleaner way of doing it.
Its a good idea. My Acer a500 came with iit out of the box. Imagine that. A public product running honeycomb 3.0 with the stock android boot animation!

That's true. Lol. All do afaik.
Some things just shouldn't make it to mainpage...
Just like all those reviews about sony erricsson devices.
Seriously? What's up with that? How much did they pay?
Since I live in Switzerland and thus don't have anything to do with AT&T I've been looking to replace that rather "meh" stock AT&T-bootanimation.
I've been looking for a worthy replacement and stumbled over a few Portal-inspired animations. I decided to stick with that theme but haven't really fond anything suitable. What I've found however is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhUknTxm1SA
which basically inspired me to create my own animation in a similar style...

I've also packed all the motorola-stuff in front of my animation, so only the AT&T part was replaced...
Suggestions would be much appreciated
PS: I'm aware this thing is quite the monster but be aware that it is an already heavily compressed version
Oh, and one more thing, dawg: I heard you like zips, so I put a zip inside your zip so you can unzip while you unzip...
Anyways The bootanimation.zip is inside the attached zip and needs to go to /system/media/
Thanks, it looks great! However I think I'll stick with my boot animation of Andy blowing up a silver Apple
Also, if you really want to compress it, then use the free application 7zip (for windows). I can get it down to about 4 mb using the .7z format.
When I wrote compressed I was referring to the images inside the zip The original used losless png-files and ended up being bigger than 20MB
Rest assured I was using 7zip to zip the zipwise uncompressed bootanimation.zip which was apparently just a little too big to upload

Just made a thread.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF USING THE FILES POSTED HERE!
Edit: thread looks horrible on xda phone app, will fix this when I have some time.
I want to thank ENDLESS2232, for working the 4g icon set I requested.
I wanted to, create a icon set myself, so I could use until I had the one he created(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643176), and since I have the att ones I thought it would be nice to share them.
I pulled these out of the HTC One X, and converted them to blue to match my black and blue theme on tweaked 2.0.
I dont know how to create a flash-able file so I copied the systemui.apk from my phone, and that is what is posted here. Therefore only use it if you are currently on black and blue theme from tweaked 2.0. (REMEMBER I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS SAFE TO DO THIS)
What I did was replace the file on my phone using "Root Explorer"
That is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is the systemui.apk if you want to try:

Here is the icon set if someone wants to make a flashable file, or use ninjamorph:
View attachment 4g_icon.zip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is it on my phone:
I have never done anything like this before, so I have no Idea if there is a better placement for these files on systemui.apk .... Any comments, are appreciated!
Thanks, I just copy and posted the systemui rebooted and now have a custom 4g symbol. The blue is a little fall, but still looks great.

Do you have a 3g icon like this. Also it could stand to be a lighter blue. It looks ok unless my phone is set to minimum brightness though. Thanks for this.
I went back to the original because this is too dark and the only way I can see it is to have my phone set to full brightness.
