Not sure if this helps anyone but here are some instructions on how to get audio to work on the Incredible.

http://androidforums.com/tips-tricks-incredible/93514-htc-incredible-boot-animation-guide.html

You have to modify the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip and you also have to make sure there is an audio folder in there as well.

Not sure how to do this since the desc.txt is very different than this guy shows and I do not have a textpad to save as a Unix file.

If anyone would like to try this and post the bootanimation.zip that is fixed that would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

skunis1; This was what was wrong with the original ported wallpaper. I took it and changed all these numbers to make it appropriate and resaved it as a UNIX file. That's how we fixed it in the first place. But thanks :)

Ahhhh!!! Light bulb moment! LMAO! I was using a different bootanimation.zip that I got from a different site. Let me see if this works now.

Edit: Worked like a charm! Pretty darn loud! LOL

For anyone having trouble with adb like I was, just download estrongs file explorer and root explorer from the marketplace.

Copy the files wirelessly via samba in estrongs to the root of your sd card. Then use root explorer to copy the animation zip and mp3 file to /data/local (if you're rooted). You can even set rm in root explorer.

Works great and is very easy.

Sorry I have no ideas man..BUT, check around for adding custom boot to the nexus; i THINK you need to put these files in a different folder..

I'm on CM 5.0.8 for the Droid. I checked /data/local and their is no bootanimation.zip in there or any sound file.

When I go to /system/media I see a "bootanimation.zip" and a "audio" folder.

How would I go about installing this boot animation and the audio?

I can not get sound to work with this bootanimation. I can get sound to work with any other bootanimation but no this one.:confused:
I am sure that I have unzipped the audio file and any other adio file just can not get it to work

the sure fire way to get this to work

use quickboot (market) to boot to recovery (you should be using clockwork)
have phone connected thru usb
run cmd prompt
cd to tools directory (eg. c:\sdk\tools)
run adb shell
navigate to /data/local.... to see what folders are in each directory use "ls" command...


remove the original files that are there using:
rm "filename"."extension"

then re push, re boot, unplug

you may need your volume up prior to all of this to hear the first reboot "droiddddd"


anyway best of luck and thanks this is really cool lookin!

Alternate DROID Enhanced Sound Clip

Big thanks to drmbdrummer.
After I finally got the sound working on my Droid boot-up screen, I realized that there was something missing for me in the whole experience. In my mind I was hearing more sound after the great "Drrroooiiidd" voice.
So after wasting an hour or so, I mixed together a new mp3 sound file that can easily replace the "android_audio.mp3" file.
I've included 2 versions, the first is a longer one, the second shorter; I prefer the longer one, but some may feel the end sound repeating gets a bit obnoxious. I think it rocks.
Bonus points to the first person to identify the 2 added sounds (should be easy IMO)
Hopefully I'm not the only one to enjoy this!

Check out what it looks at youtube with this title:
"Droid Incredible w/ Droid X boot animation & new sound"

Thanks for this. I woke up this morning to my phone boot looping (don't know why, lol). It was the best alarm ever. I just kept hearing "droiddd" about every five seconds.

btw, I pulled the ringtones from the Droid X system dump. It has some pretty interesting ones where a droid voice speaks and lets you know there is a phone call for you.

Ok, question

Maybe noobish, but...

you have us putting it into /data/local

however when I do a search on the phone system
"find / -name "boot",
I get "/system/bin/bootanimation"... AND
"/data/local/bootanimation.zi" <= what you had us put in. Can you 'splain the difference?

It's my understanding that the one in /system/bin/ is the regular bootanimation file, BUT if you HAPPEN to have one in /data/local/ then it looks for that first and runs that file at bootup instead of the other in /system. Thus you don't have to overwrite the /system/bin/ file. ALSO, it means that just by deleting the file in /data/local/ you can restore the stock boot. :)

    Hey guys. I know this is about and around, but we got the sound working on boot (the "DROID" noise). So here's how you do it:

    1. download both files below
    2. UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder
    3. leave the "bootanimation.zip" file zipped, put in your sdk/tools folder
    4. go into adb and push both files as follows:

    adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
    adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
    adb reboot
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    This should work; if anyone has problems let me know.

    ENJOY! :)


    ***UPDATE***

    If you're still having issues with the sound not working, first make sure that you are unzipping the "android_audio" file...then pushing the .mp3 contained within the zip file.

    Second, if it still doesn't work, try this in adb:

    cd data
    cd local
    rm android_audio.mp3
    rm bootanimation.zip
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    then repush the two files!
