[Q] CM11 Boot Animation Sound?? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been Googling and Googling, but can't find anything on how to implement sounds within CM11 Theme-compatible Boot Animations; is it possible, and do any ROMs for the OnePlus One even support it??
I've tried even circumventing the CM11 Theme Engine completely and just added a line into the desc.txt file to see the OGG file in system/media, but all to no avail.
Any insight into this would be GREATLY appreciated!! I'm trying to see if I can get this to work in this boot animation, and there is surprisingly little current documentation on this that I could find.

So nothing then I guess? Has anyone found anything on this at all?

Did you try to edit build.prop
There a line that disable boot sound change it from 1 to 0 or the upside I don't know exactly

Thanks for providing some info Madkita!
I did see that option, but I was hoping for a more universally usable option, like something that could be loaded in any ROM with an APK, and without a root hack for those not rooted. I think it might just not be possible that way, so I'll have to abandon this after all.

Could you just add a apk file or make a boot animation with it included?
- Samsung Galaxy Ace ii-x CM 4.4.4.
- Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime 5.1
- Samsung S2 CM 12.1
- Nexus 5 5.1
- Nexus 7 5.2
- LG L5 4.1
- LG P690B 2.3.4.
- HTC One

It would have to be an APK file for that to work, or maybe an installer ZIP like the one I use for my ctOS Boot Animation.
Either way, the boot sound file is named differently across ROMs, so without creating a script to figure out if the ROM supports it and what the subsequent file is named, I'm really not sure how to best do this.
That being said, if anyone has any ideas of how best to universally implement something like this, I'm all ears! And if anyone wants to take a stab at compiling something for my ctOS Boot Animation, I'll happily put up a bounty of $20 for the first person who can make a CM11/CM12 boot animation sound work across all devices.

[HD BOOT ANIMATION][SPLASH] Blackout Custom "One" Pack

Blackout One Pack Edited: png-optimized for speed/loading/size and added full preview
The theme is simple enough:
1) White htc "ONE" logo on black bg at splash (splash.zip)
2) fade in white htc "ONE" logo with 8 white loading bubbles transitioning to green before looping x8 until system startup (vzw_bootup.zip)
3) quick green htc "ONE" logo fade-out for shutdown. (hTC_downanimation.zip)
I've included the zip files referenced above as well a an animated .gif preview (full now)
The entire sequence is as follows: fade up white logo, load bubbles, go green, flash three times, repeat loading animation...
For the splash be sure to place in fastboot folder. from the cmd line enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and then "fastboot flash zip splash.zip" once the htc logo comes up in RUU mode and then "fastboot reboot" once you're done.
>>>For animations replace the current ones (typically names as per above) in your /system/customize/resource folder and be sure the permissions are set correctly. You'll need root (for animations) and S-OFF (for splash)
Enjoy!
Working good.
do these need to be renamed bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip to work? i my resource folder i do not have any files in there named like these files.
thanks

if you're running stock, these are the actual conventions. I haven't tried any, but if those are the names of the files in your directory then by all means..

I'm on viper, i tried doing it that way and renaming them to what they were in the resource tab but it didn't work, viper rom thou has a setting in their tweaks to add a boot animation and i did it that way and it worked. great animation by the way really digging it!

Awesome. Glad you liked it! Haven't switched over to a custom ROM just yet as I've heavily modified the stock one.. I suspected it was going to require ROM-specific settings. Liking Viper?
Great!! Thanks!! Got rid of that nasty red verizon screen!

What have you modified about it?!
Yeah I'm really liking it. I never really liked sense or tw that much I'm more of an aosp guy but this rom is pretty bithin. Waiting for cm or slim roms to come out with a build for this phone. Other than that its petty solid. Haven't had any issues with anything and they a have few dark themes which make it really nice

This is actually the first time I've been off cm in a while.. I'm waiting for the lightweights as well.. Sense is definitely better than it was in the past, but I've shut off a lot. Hated tw.. Never ran a galaxy on anything other than aosp.. Really like the latest HTC..
Well if anyone had an animation or a mod question feel free. I swapped out the kernel, enabled all the great settings and froze everything else..

[Fonts] Full System Fonts! ROBOTO CONDENSED & BARIOL!

Hello fellow XDA friends! I am an extreme fan of Roboto Condensed and ALWAYS keep a zip of the font to replace my entire system UI. So if you are anal about your phone having consistent fonts, being Roboto Condensed, this is the zip for you! As always MAKE A BACKUP before flash even though I of course have flashed this multiple times every time I flash a ROM and have never had any issues with it. I do not have a revert to stock zip so PLEASE, AGAIN, MAKE A BACKUP, JUST, IN, CASE! I hope you enjoy!
Credits to this who create flashable zip files for me to use as a template to use for each device I am using.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me on XDA with not only fonts, but various tasks here and there and to those who press Thanks if you enjoy the upload :silly:
To fix the [X] in your lock screen clock problem you can flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bt2hz0t6osbghy5/Font_DejavuFonts1.zip
Credits to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 & @xxsashixx for the find - thanks again!
THESE ARE FLASHABLE ZIP FILES - YOU DO NEED ROOT W/ A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH
I originally created the zips for the Nexus 6P, though I own a 5X too so I figured it deserved the same love and attention! So if this thread looks familiar, it's because it is almost identicle to my N6P thread :silly:
For more fonts you can check out my Nexus6P thread in my signature - the same zips should all work
Great work! But I noticed an error when using bariol on the lockscreen. It doesn't see the ":" symbol. Screen is attached.
Edit: found more.

I had a couple people report that on the 6P as well, though I can not replicate it and it's driving me nuts! Some people are saying it works fine, others get that [X]. I have flashed it on stock, custom AOSP, and custom stock ROMs and not had that happen. I even checked into the font files and made sure each had the colon symbol in the font styles. I am still looking into and it will be fixed! If anybody has any idea I am open to suggestions and it would be greatly appreciated - at any rate, I'm glad you like the font - I will add more as I compile the zips in my spare time and I will get to the bottom of this [X] fiasco

Not sure either. But it could be because I'm not on stock. I'm on purenexus.
does anyone know if something like this would break android pay? i'm not rooted but do have custom recovery installed...
edit, just re-read this - why would we need root if we're flashing in recovery? for example, I edited my build.prop file to allow for tethering without issue and I didn't need to root the phone

The "root" the OP is suggesting you need is definitely not required. However you are root when in TWRP. Otherwise you would run into permission problems when trying to flash something.

Confirmed it does not break Android pay. Just flashed it and everything seems to be working fine.
Can I make a zip like this for any font? Just swap out what's inside?
Hi, thanks for the fonts!
Is the stock.zip applicable on N Preview also?

Fastest Boot Animation

Ok so i found something on Lollipop & Marshmallow i figured i'd share with you all.
Do you want the fastest possible Boot Animation?
Do you care really what it looks like?
IF the answer is YES & NO i have the solution for you
It's called the default android boot animation !
It is the word Android spelled out in pulsing white with the newer droid font.
It's the full width of the screen with a black background.
And i noticed it made my phone seem like it was booting faster :good:
So..
How do i get it?
You need root access and you can probably choose what method you want to do it..
The basic idea is to go and rename or remove the BootloaderAnimation.zip
I chose to use RootExplorer to go in and rename the file.
But i bet TWRP or other ways would work too.
Go here.. /System/Media/bootanimation.zip
The newest Marshmallow Animation is almost 10mb so killing it i think does help it boot faster.
Enjoy your NO BootAnimation
I think you can fully disable bootanimation with this command:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

in build prop. After that it should fully disable bootanimation (there will be only black screen) but I'm not sure about it because last time I was using this on Android 2.3 but you can give it a try, imo it should work.

Thanks that is interesting got me poking around with the adb console then google.
[Android 2.1+][25.08.2012][v3.0] live dmesg / logcat boot animations [ROOT]
Google that WTF LOL
I also seen some guys who made a BootAnimation that emulates the PC Bios boot ..cool !
I guess i am veering off topic but i didn't know about alternate options.
But this topic had guys discussing your command if people are interested..

worked smootly on Moto E 2015 -resurrection-remix-v5-8-0-t3509463 (Android N 7.1_r7)
(even faster than just rename the bootlogo.zip)
I remember coming across this before in 5.1. Yes it made it faster but, it just looks plain and boring.

[SysDump / WIP Rom] LG Aristo MPCS 4/8/17

Currently here is the system dump. Working on kernel first just not what I normally do so it's playing with me lol.
First off this is built off the LG Aristo LGMS210 from Metro PCS.
This is going to stay as a stock base NOT ASOP.
OTAs are always last. It's nice to have a good strong base then update as needed so it won't have security patches from the OTAs 10min after the release. Right now I did not update before doing a system dump.
The system dumps or roms can be used by others just please give credit. If someone makes a kernel give them credit also please after asking them.

This is just a spare just in case I get board now to clean this up
Thank you!
Glad to see this device get some attention, it's a decent phone and we already have root, twrp, and nougat. Just missing tweaks here and there.
Im just having kernel issues hoping someone can get us a custom one. So far I have deleted a bunch copied pixel launcher and this thing is amazing now. Even going to make a car puter version on this phone.
Works but looks bad but got Samsung Gear VR working on this thing. Lol. Once we get another kernel we can get that flashed on everyones phone not doing my way.
How can I make this system dump a usable rom?
Umm you can't it's for another device to. Really install pixel launcher. Make a system backup. Copy pixel launcher folder from data app to system priv app not delete all the launchers and apps I can post what I have then you factory reset your phone then once booted you will have pixel launcher and the feel of how my phone will feel till I can get a kernel and flash that way.
So it just adds the pixel launcher as a system app?
I goofed
Is there anyway you could upload just the mixer_paths.xml file located in system/ect by chance? Went to go try to increase headphone volume and sneezed and fubard the file somehow.... Now i have no sound at all on anything amdthe phone dont even detect headphones. Id download the dump/or rom but my internet speeds are just too darn slow to get at 960 mb file. *metro slows it down below 20k a second*
Install pixel launcher and anyother app you need when you do a factory reset it will let you boot just fine.

[TOOL] Boot Animation Creator for Android

BootAnimations Creator​Simplicity.
What is this?​This is a simple Python script that turns an ffmpeg-supported video into a boot animation. Soon it will also pickup PNG series.
Why was this created?
Why was this created?​I didn't discover any tools that would do this, so I decided to make one.
How can I use it?​Go to https://github.com/MajliTech/bootanimation-creator and check on Releases to download the newest version.
Why is it still in prerelease?​Since I don't have a phone to test this on. My Xiaomi Note 11 is my main phone so I don't want to brick it. However any testers are welcome!
Not a bad idea, but a more useful thing would be a desktop bootanimation previewer.
I might make one, but my boot animation is really boring anyway (and low overhead).
I also thought about this, but the boot animation format is still kinda too confusing for me. I may make a tool like this in the future, but for now this is what I got.
@MajliTech Could you post a sample of a boot animation that this generates? (Any res, any theme.)
Here's the sample.

Nope. It's what I thought. That is not going to work. Your zip file uses compression. It will fail.

It's a stupid gotcha. Nothing in bootanimation.zip can be compressed (beyond the original PNG compression).
