Not that I mind too terribly much but when I installed dmesg and ran it I lost my boot animation all together. Fun.
I'm rooted on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur 2.1 or whatever the newest is. I used root explorer and made sure there is a bootanimation.zip file where it belongs. Tried manually adding different boot animation zips via rootexplorer. Nada.
Am I missing something?
You can try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, but I don't really know if it will work or not. It is a theme removal app which will also allow you to attempt to reset your boot animation to stock. Has worked for me. It will only replace the bootanimation.zip but won't change any of the settings that call it., so if those are messed up then this won't help.
Just make sure you say no to the first question in the bat or else it will maul your greyblur theming.
Awesome! Ill give that a shot once I can get on a windows machine at work tomorrow. Luckily this isn't a life or death problem.

You can also download one of the fine boot animations here in the forum straight to your device and then copy it to the /system/media directory on your phone.
heres two I made
red: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AEN45QBA
blue: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKBOLCT4
Ive actually tried that with no dice.
I have the Call of Duty boot animation, but for some reason the audio wont work. I also have tried the Xbox 360 boot animation. Even that, will not play the audio. but the FinalThunder.mp3 still plays fine.
Ive checked permissions, file names...rhetorically everything. Anyone got an idea what i might be doing wrong?
which rom are you using.....I'm finding the same problem using CM7 and the Bios boot animation. Haven't really looked into it yet though as I just loaded it this morning.
Will post back if I find anything.........
Stock. I rooted fully. Rootchecker says im fine, and the animation works, but no sound
What I have found that works is you have to have the folders within bootanimation.zip set up the same way as the stock one: android, progress and VZW. I haven't look that far into but it seems like the boot sound is triggered when a certain folder is started. If this is so, replacing the boot animation with another one that isn't structured the same and renaming the mp3 to FinalThunder won't work.
Like, wat do you mean? only thing i got is the bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3, and its int he same place, as in /system/customize/resource/

There's a folder structure inside bootanimation.zip. I'm not talking about where the zip file stored on the phone. More than like the Call of Duty zip has two folders in it, android and part2. Link me to where you got the boot animation and I'll fix it for you.

Ill try to attach the ones i have.
Looking inside them both, stock bootanim has no folders. But the COD one does. As for the audio, FinaltHUNDER works but cod-finalthunder wont. (no, i didnt name it that lol)
As i said before, the boot animation works PERFECTLY, just the audio is not working
Try this. Works with sound on my phone. http://www.mediafire.com/?2fvuc65eqdcfdp3
testing. will post with results.
Also, could you maybe tell me what you did? I really want to learn. I have some others i'd like to get working, as well as some ideas I am building with some friends. They know the stuff, but they are in classes and doing finals..I don't have the luxury of college.
Also, is there a way i can adb into my phone and auto-achieve r/w on my system folder? Right now, i have to use RootExplorer and mount as R/W since adb always tells me "unable to push, blah blah, read only filesystem"
It works. Perfectly. Cept the audio is unsynched but that will be easy for me to fix. Thank you so much. What did you change, my awesome savior?

All I did was set the folder structure the same way the stock one is, with android, progress and VZW and made sure desc.txt was formatted properly.
If you are using adb, instead of using Root Explorer to mount system, try command
Code:
adb shell sysrw
Of course this command all depends on how the ROM is set up that you are using.
So, say im using a new bootanimation. Copy/pasta the desc text file, and make sure the structure inside is the same way?
adb shell sysrw says permission denied. im using rooted stock.

Simple break down: android folder contains the first image of the boot animation; the one some people thinks is a second splash screen. VZW folder contains the actually boot animation images and progress is the last image display at the phone is booting. Place your boot animation images in these folders accordingly. I would suggest just putting a plain black image in the android folder and name the image the same as the stock "second splash" screen.
Use the desc.txt file from the boot that I sent you. The only thing you will need to change is the frame rate to make it work with other boot animations. So if a boot is supposed to be displayed at 10 fps, change the 30 to 10 and save.
Once you have everything the way you want it, zip all three folders and desc.txt using the store, or no compression, option. Now you are ready to go. Like you mentioned earlier, you may need to edit FinalThunder.mp3 to make it sync correctly.
About adb sysrw command; stock RUU is not up for that command. Not sure what the syntax would be for stock root or if you can even mount the system as R/W through adb.
dont think i can. and i thnk i gotta lower the fps a little ont he animation

Did you open it from within the zip file and save it? If so, when you saved it, the zip was updated and probably changed the compression ratio to the default of whatever program you are using.

Hey guys, I'm looking for and audio thread that would help with a GB lockscreen, I have ran across one or know if there is one but I found this one and may one of you could help me?
I want to change or I should say make an audio sound for when I unlock my GB Rom. Is that possible? I also wanted to combined in two audio sounds. Any help would be great and appreciated. Thanks

Hey there,
I really like the newest Gingeritis ROM , for me it has been relatively stable with just a few spontaneous reboots and an occasional FC.
I am trying to change the boot animation from the one that comes with the ROM. I found the ability to do this in the Spare Parts app, but no matter which I choose, none actually changes from that original "computer boot" looking opening screen. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Not sure what file Spare Parts is changing, but I found that I needed to change /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip in order to change my boot animation on Gingeritis VIII. I was getting a little mad too, until I realized the boot animation file was the original Verizon name/location.
I thought it might be something like this. Can you describe the procedure exactly? Thanks!

First, I'll start with something maybe a little harsh, but I feel it's true. If you don't know what you're doing already, chances are you should not do it.
Download the boot animation you want, put it on your SD card. Open root explorer (or other file explorer that can mount directories r/w), find the boot animation file you just put on your SD card and copy it. Navigate to /system/customize/resource and rename VZW_bootanimation.zip to something else and paste the file you have copied. Rename the file you just copied to VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I appreciate the response and the explanation. Thanks.
I've just updated to the new Gingertis and was able to get my favorite boot screen back. However, I cannot seem to get the thunder sound. Where is the proper place to put the thunder.mp3? THANKS!

System/customize/resource
Drop it in there and make sure it is named TMOUS_bootanimation and you will be all set
Oh I think there is an audio file for the annoying ass TMO jingle. Kill that too.

No problem I HATE that damn boot noise so I looked into this yesterday.
What is the best way to get in there and change the files around? I downloaded Android Commander on to my computer and even though it lets me downloads files to my PC, it won't let me do anything to the android system files because it says I need root, even though I do in fact have root.

ok i am able to change the boot animation and got rid of the t mobile jingle. now i want to add my own audio file during the boot animation. what do i need to name the file to work properly. i named it just like the t mobile jingle sound but that didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated
The T-Jingle is just a ringtone, the bootup sound is named ruby_something, I don't remember what exactly off the top of my head, but it is a .wav file.
If I am going to put my own boot animation in here, can I just find a GIF of the appropriate dimensions and rename it .zip, or do I have to take each frame and convert it to a .png and put it in a zip file the same way that the default boot animation is?

no actually T-Jingle is the sound that was used on the original boot animation. as soon as i got rid of it that jingle did not sound when i loaded up the boot animation. i know the .wav file you speak of though. but if that was the boot animation sound why wouldn't it sound now with my new boot animation. there has to be some way to associate the new boot animation with what ever sound file when the phone boots up. as far as creating your own boot animation there are a lot of tutorials on this site. within the boot animation zip file there is a text file that basically tells the screen resolution and how as well as the frame rate and how the file should work. you should dl any boot animation and look at the desc.txt file. that will give you a little of an idea of how it all works.

Weird, on my phone T-Jingle.ogg is just a 3 second clip of the T-Mobile jingle ringtone sound, the one that plays on my phone at startup was ruby_something.wav, which is much longer and has the sort of rocket blast sound at the beginning and then a prolonged T-Mobile jingle.

I will open up the default boot animation and see what's doing. It is kind of confusing though because in the zip file is all of the .png files for the animation, but then there is another .zip file that has the exact same thing in it.

they both might be involved with the boot animation but as soon as i removed the t-jungle.ogg there was no sound at all when the boot animation. i will try messing with the other sound and see what happend

not quite sure about that. i just know that i was able to take a boot animation from another phone and edit the desc.txt file to the proper screen resolution to get it to work. like i had mentioned if you do a search on the site there are quite a few tutorials on how to create the boot animations. good luck

answered above in your quote
sorry for bringing up a fairly old thread, but this is exactly what i was looking for.
so i was able to change back to the stock boot animation as OP said, but I DO want the original sound to it, right now there is no sound. what is the file called and where is it located? i found the file in a t-mobile bloater zip from another thread, just no idea where it goes and what it should be called.

Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Did you even look at the link I posted in your thread? If you did, then you wouldn't be looking to put the sound file in the bootanimation, but instead put it in the required folder, that's why I linked to a tutorial, it is there for a reason.
Ok, I have root and have used it quite effectivly as well as the apps/programs available. That is, until now. While tired and foggy headed, I went ahead and copied a file into my System folder. However, the way I did it was oh so very stupid. Instead of actually copying the file itself over, I decided to copy the System folder that 1 file was sitting in over onto the device. Oh lucky day, doing that wiped everything but that one file from the System folder so that my phone had a heart attack and I had to pull the battery. Saying a prayer to the Root Gods, I turned my phone back on and, you guessed it, it went to the recovery screen with the happy Update Android sitting there. Due to not having a recovery image or file to be able to recover my phone, I am in need of some assistance. I hope someone out there can help me. Any further questions for me, please ask.
I really hope someone can help me with this.

Don't have an LG Realm myself but I couldn't really understand the problem. Is it a Qcom or MTK device? Can you access recovery? Can you access ROM? Can you access Emergency/Download Mode? Does the device turn on?
I am attaching a pocture of the screen. After i wiped out the root system folder, the phone had to be hard restarted so i pulled the battery. When the phone went to restart, it didnt go to the loading screen. It went to the Android System Recovery screen. The android Installing System Update screen is there and all i can do is use the volume keys to go between options. One of them is Apply Update From External Sdcard, the rest are to apply from inside the phone, which cant happen because of my goof up. It also says E:missing bitmap stage_empty and missing stage_fill.

What happens when you are pressing power button when on reboot system now?
I have actually tried all the options. Reboot brings me back to that screen after the LG splash screen. The other options look for the recovery in the phone, which is not there. That was why i was looking for a possible recovery file to put on my sdcard and use the external sdcard option.

How you managed to delete /system partition describe me please. The thing is that I don't find any Stock Rom you can flash... Well tell me how you got it deleted and if you made a backup somehow first.
Like i said in my op, i never did anything this stupid before. I ended up copying another system folder on top of the original. The one i copied only had 1 file in it that was for my signal. However, when it copied over, it replaced the folder with everything needed to keep my android phone working with the folder with just the one file. And like an idiot, i never made a backup of my phone after i rooted it. Like i said, i am actually not a beginner at this, just made a big mistake of instead of just moving the one file over.

It's **** we need to flash a new Firmware on your phone nothing where I can fine one there is a way though. Give me a pm with this:
Your IMEI
Your S/N
the name of phone (EX. LG P710) the number and letter if there is not Realm. Ofc IMEI S/N of the phone. Not here in pm .
this sounds exactly like my problem. I have two LG realms. I was messing around with the build.prop on one of them. I saved the original but somehow when I copied and pasted it back into sys file, the phone gets a black screen of death right after the boot screen. I am able to get into the stock recovery, but no further. I'm thinking that a copy of the stock firmware is my only help.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have the same problem. Come on, don't leave us hanging please!
