I've got a D800 (AT&T) that I unlocked to run on T-Mobile. I need a few things to "brand" it as TMO at boot time:
* an original D801 "bootanimation.zip" from /system/media
* the "PowerOn.mp3" boot sound in /system/sounds/poweron
* and is there still no way to change the startup LED color?
I've searched for these things with no success. I did eventually find a thread with a modified TMO animation but it wasn't XXHDPI (and obviously not the original).
If someone could point me to these stock TMO+G2 files, I'd appreciate it.
*bump*
Here you go. The sound files go in a different folder: /system/media/audio/ui

I happened to go looking for this again (the Viet LP ROM erased the Kitkat animated sequence) and found my own thread. Then I noticed I didn't apply a +thanks, so there ya go. Also changed this thread to solved, no need for a bump without something constructive.

So I pretty much have the custom boot animations figured out... It seems to work whether I put bootanimation.zip in /data/local or /system/media no problem... but the one thing I can't figure out is how to get a sound to play. I've tried every combination I can think of... boot.mp3 in the zip file, android_audio.mp3 in the zip file... tried the zip without the mp3, just placing the mp3 in the same directory as the zip (and also tried both names that way, in both directories stated above).
Is there something I'm supposed to add to the desc.txt file? What am I missing?? The only info I can find for the Eris is just "put a boot.mp3 in the zip file" which is just not working...
I am almost ready to explode...
Any help?? It would be much appreciated!
You cannot use sound using the bootscreen.zip. You have to use the old method. Search for Stock bootscreen w sounds, In the Eris dev forum.

You could check out my rom. It has the nexus boot screen with the mac bong sound.
Alright, I searched a bit more and had no luck with the .xml (stock) method... It just simply doesn't acknowledge it. It works fine using the bootanimation.zip method (well, no sound of course), in either location as stated above, but if I remove/rename them and try the /system/media/bootscreen location with .xml, .gif, and .mp3 files, it completely ignores them. I copied the exact file structure from the CookieRom and got nothing.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Like maybe some sort of switch that says "LOOK HERE FOR BOOT ANIMATION" or something?
I've even tried taking the /system/bin/bootanimation file from Cookie and replacing mine with it, but then it doesn't even run.
There has to be something simple I'm missing and I just have no idea what it is...
FYI I'm using a non-Sense ROM if that makes any difference...
Anybody??
Anyone...? Bueller...?
i am just a puzzled about this. If you get it figured out.... lets us know!
You need to take the boot animation from a rom like cookie rom or damaged tazz, that have sound enabled. It usually in in the system/bin folder. Put in into the rom of your choice and then flash the bootanimation.zip file and it should work. That's what I did and it worked for me...DROID

Do you have that bootanimation.zip that you can post or pm me?

So I was looking around some forum and found a droid x bootanimation with sound.
I pushed the mp3 file (maybe the bootanimation.zip navigated to the .mp3? I don't want that bootanimation though) and it doesn't appear to have done anything.
So I tried some other methods:
In terminal emulator...
I ran allinone
under boot properties I found a boot sound enabler.
It says it enables bootup.ogg from system/media/audio or something.
Whatever it was...I pulled the droid.ogg
Renamed it to bootup.ogg and pushed it to the correct area.
Rebooting doesn't appear to give me any sound.
Sad day.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I then found some bootanimation file that supposedly links your Droid X to play a boot sound. I pushed that after making a hasty backup of the original. Then realized the file wasn't for gingerbread...and repushed the original back (I think I may have deleted the original and pushed the same file back again). After this step I have no bootanimation.
Does anyone have the stock bootanimation file from system/bin and can you upload?
Since my bootanimation is broken...this last try may be a futile attempt.
But just now I used this
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/dr...tml#post266035
as a reference
Unzipped the default liberty bootanimation.zip and edited desc.txt by adding a "s droid.ogg" line.
Rezipped (the proper way without compression).
No go.
Then used liberty toolbox to try and flash the original liberty bootanimation.zip back (in case jrummy is using some method I'm not, rather than pushing it there myself) and I'm still without a bootanimation.
I'm sure I can fix the missing bootanimation eventually...
But the bootanimation file from system/bin would be nice if you have it handy.
Or if you know what else I can do to restore it.
But mainly...any idea how to get sound working?!
I'm going to bed at the moment...too tired and I work tonight.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
I know there is an SD notification that many are confusing with the bootup sound. This just seems to be an alternative that should keep the "drrrooooiiid" sound as default...if my thinking is correct.
Anyone tried to change the boot animation? I assume this can be done by swapping out the appropriate QMG files, correct? Can this be done?

For AT&T phones?
It won't be possible until the bootloader is unlocked.
And even then (and for current Canadian phones), you will need a kernel that supports it.
People over in the sprint section have replaced the boot animation with the international versions boot animation to get ride of the sprint part

I followed the guide from here and got a few of them to work, i made one that would not work at all, just showed black screen but i still heard the att boot sound, then the power button wouldnt turn off the screen, so i restored the original and everything went back to normal. I do have one loaded now that i made last night as a test and it is working good.
I am going to try and change the boot sound today, ill update later.

How to Restore Original Samsung Boot Animation
This requires Root and a root file manager.
1 - Download and extract the S4_Original_BootAnimation.rar
https://www.dropbox.com/s/41d4csi1eyxvytg/S4_Original_BootAnimation.rar?v=0mcns
Make sure you have R/W permissions in system/media before copying over.
2 - Copy the files from the S4_Original_BootAnimation.zip to the system/media folder replacing the original files.
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
3 - Copy the file from the S4_Original_BootAnimation.zip to the system/media\audio\ui folder replacing the original files
PowerOn.ogg
PowerOff.ogg
(I renamed my originals just to be safe.)
Alternately, if you do not want to download; you can make a copy of, and rename the bootsamsung.qmg bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg that are already located in your system/media folder, and PowerOn.ogg it is already located in your system/media\audio\ui folder
If you want to disable bootup sound go to:
system/media/audio/ui and search for PowerOn.ogg. Just rename it to PowerOn.ogg.backup (or any other extension). Well done!
Reboot your phone and you should no longer see the ATT animations or sound.

Thanks, no more annoying AT&T logo.
Yeah, same. Now I have the original samsung "glowing" animation, and the Old Spice whistle.
Hi. I'm running a Galaxy S4 AT&T with Danvdh's Google Edition 4.4.4 ROM (here). I had just flashed this ROM today, and now I can't get a custom bootanimation.zip file to work. I'll explain what happened.
Before today, I was using his 4.4.2 ROM, and I had no issues with my bootanimation.zip working. Then I decided to try out a TouchWiz-based ROM (Skyfall ROM). I just wanted to compare a Google Edition ROM to a TouchWiz-based ROM. Well, I realized I prefer Google Edition, so today I decided to go back to Dan's GE ROM, updated to 4.4.4. But when I tried to put back my old bootanimation.zip file in /system/media, it wouldn't work! I just get Dan's default boot animation (the Google logo with the spinning circles).
I notice that there are instead two of these bootanimation.qmg files in /system/media folder. I Googled around and found out that these are Samsung's proprietary boot animation files. But here's the strange thing; the boot animation I have right now is Dan's GE animation, not the Samsung boot animation that I would expect from QMG files. How is this possible? I did a complete wipe (I'm using PhilZ recovery) before flashing Dan's ROM after coming from the Skyfall ROM, so why are these QMG files still left behind?
I tried renaming the QMG files (bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) to disable them. But then I get no boot animation at all, just a black screen, even though I have bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder. So how can I get rid of these QMG files and just return back to a good ol' fashion bootanimation.zip format?
Did you give your biotechnology boot animation zip the permissions rw,r,r?

Yes, the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media is set to rw-r--r--. I also have a bootanimation.zip file in /data/local set to the same permissions, but neither of those work. I also tried this fix, but to no avail. All that gives me is a black screen instead of the boot animation, even when bootanimation.zip is still in the right folder with the right permissions.

Don't you love word correction
Not sure what else to tell you. Sounds like the animation is in the right place and setup right.
Edit, do you still have the original sound files? Maybe there messing things up. /system/media/audio/ui. A couple of ogg files. Rename them to .ogg.bak

I tried that. I had several OGG files, most of them seemed to be related to charging or docking or keyboard pressing. In any case, renaming them didn't help. I think at this point I might just re-flash the ROM. Still, I'm perplexed as to why those QMG files were still in my /system/media folder in the first place. I've been using Dan's GPE ROM for a long time now, and I have never seen those files there. I'm pretty sure they must have come from that TouchWiz ROM (Skyfall).
Another weird thing is that I didn't have any bootanimation.zip file to begin with. Previously, like when I was on the 4.4.2 ROM, there was an initial bootanimation.zip file that I'd rename to bootanimation.zip.bak, and then replace with my own bootanimation.zip. And presto, it worked like a charm, quick and easy. This time, there was no initial bootanimation.zip file, just those two QMG files. Yet somehow I still got the Google circle boot animation to play at first startup (this is on a newly-flashed ROM, mind you; I haven't even installed gapps yet, let alone any other modifications).
Any thoughts on this?
title pretty much explains itself. i have not been able to change the boot animation. im running 4.4 google play edition rom.
More details please. What boot animation are you trying to use in place of the GPE one? What happens when you do make the change? Where are you copying the new boot animation to?
euhm well i tried apps and manual copying. i tried placing gif, zips and qmp? files in /system/media and some other locations. i tried allot of apps and explainations but nothing worked. when i made the change it either didnt change or it went completly black. im a root noob btw but fast learner sorry for the little detail and thanks for the quik reply!
You cannot use QMG boot animations in the Google Play Edition, Cyanogenmod, or AOSP ROMs as QMG only works in Touchwiz. The only boot animations you can use are in the ZIP format, such as the one linked in my signature. Instructions on how to manually install it can be found on my boot animation's thread, but in short, you use a file manager, copy the new boot animation to where the old one is, change permissions, and reboot.
so tried exactly what you said and it would not work. in my /system/media therr are only qmg files.(and now the zip) now i think i have the wrong location. like its the location from the original ma from the samsung system.
If it didn't work, you're not on a Google Play Edition ROM. Please take some screenshots of your About Phone listing in Settings and post them so I can see them.
