I held out asking for help as long as possible, tried all the methods and and revised methods. Im running cm9 and don't have a cid folder or a default.xml file, found the original bootanimation in the system/media folder, changed it to the one i want with the same file name, but just got a black screen. when i delete that file in the media folder i get a boot animation with a shimmering "android" but i don't know where that came from. any other thoughts would be appreciated. thanks for all your hard work.

I'll third this one. Appears on TMOUS stock ROM with the "launching android rocket" animation, the best way to get this to work is to name it tmous.rockey.animazation. I also renamed the hTC_bootanimation just in case. Finally, the JB bootanimation also didn't work for me, which doesn't surprise me as even the thumbnail seems to be the wrong screen resolution compared to the others.

Did you try the JB boot animation, because I think it's the wrong size. I got a black screen also.

I tried a few of them. Just to make sure it wasn't just the jb ones.

Cant change the boot or shutdown

---

Hey guys! I found these boot animations and shutdown animations from the epic 4g. At first I simply dragged and dropped and the shutdown works but it didn't fill the screen, it was half the screen size.

The boot was named bootanimations.zip and the shutdown was named downanimation.zip and both were placed in system/customize/resources (I extracted the bootanimation and downanimation from the zip's first)

I have taken the png's inside and resized them all to 960x540 and placed them back in and it does fill the screen but still only the downanimation works, the boot refuses.
Can someone please help me get these to work? I have attached the boot and down zip for you guys.

The Jelly Bean boot animation won't work, doesn't appear to have the right resolution.

I stand corrected. I tried it and it does seem to work, but it still won't install the Jelly Bean animation. The other ones in it work though . I'm running Axiom so maybe I'll try a different rom to see if it works cause I'm out of ideas.

sys/customize/cid/default.xml file
there is a line that reads
"audio="/system/customize/resource/startup_audio.wav" audiostart="TMOUS" />"

Audiostart is pointing at "TMOUS" which is the first folder in the stock TMOUS_rockey_animzation.zip file. If you add a new bootup animation zip and that zip doesn't contain a folder called "TMOUS", the sound won't run.

All you have to do is
1.Open Root Explorer Press the r/w in the upper right
2.Navigate to /Cid folder, long press on default.xml and open in text editor
3.srcoll down towards the bottom and find the line with "audiostart=TMOUS"
4.Delete "TMOUS" and write the name of the first folder that runs in your new boot animation.
[edit]5. Then clear your cache and dalvik cache. Although I'm not sure you need to do the latter
This is how I got my sound to work again. Pretty simple. I didn't mess with the FPS when I added the Landscape andy bike rider zip in the OP.

Im on the stock US Rom, so I think this only applies to U.S phones with stock roms. I think.

I've been trying the whole evening to get my bootanimation to play a sound with no luck. It was difficult enough to get a custom bootanimation to display, because it appears that the european Vodafone HTC One S loads it's bootanimation from /system/customize/resources/VF_bootanimation.zip and it took me a while to figure that out, with special thanks to Orical for his post.

However in the /system/customize/CID/default.xml file, there's no mentioning of any "audio". Here is a copy of the Boot Configuration part of it:

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/VF_bootanimation.zip" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/VF_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="7" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>

I should also note, that there's no startup_audio.wav in the /resources folder.

I also read somewhere that you could get a bootsound to play by adding a line in the animations' desc.txt, for example "s Dingdong.mp3" but I couldn't get that to work either... prolly because I had no idea where to put the mp3... Any ideas?
