Its all done...I just grabbed an np3. Renamed it put it in its place fixed permissions and boom I have sound...just need to make the boot animation smaller

And I meant there was no start up sound on the phone previously

U can also take any sound or ur favorite song and use that as well;):thumbup:, I used DJ Tiesto for mine. :D:thumbup:

do you think theres a way to make the boot animation shorter?

I'm obviously no expert but I believe if u notice once you've actually extracted a bootanimation.zip and see there are 2 folders (part1/part0), one has 119 images and the other 15 images so I think that's what's needed but wait for the expert's to chime in.:thumbup:;)

Actually, the one I am using only has one part part0 and only 13 parts....maybe it just seems long

For some reason, the stock boot animation sound starts on the HTC screen instead of when the DNA eye thing comes up. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Here. This recovery flashable zip can be used for multi purpose. In this instance It's packaged with the Droid DNA boot animations including the HTC bootdown. If you want to remove the HTC bootdown then you can simply "open" the zip I have provided (open not extract) by using 7zip which is free to download while you're inside the zip, navigate to system/customize/resource and you will see both animations in there. Delete downanimation.zip if all you want is the Droid bootanimation.

    From here if you do get bored of the Droid animation then you could put any other compatible bootanimation.zip and it will change it as long as you don't change the spelling. It has to be bootanimation.zip :) you can also add any apk file (apps) you have by navigating to system/app placing the apk file in this loacation. Saves a lot of time if you don't want to stuff around with a root explorer. Close the zip after you're done and there you have it.

    Thanks! Does anyone have the sound file as well?

    Nevermind, I got it from a system dump. Here you go OP drop these in the SYSTEM->CUSTOMIZE->RESOURCE folder and change permissions


    You will have to rename the txt to mp3 before you move it on the device

    Actually it looks like it may have more to do with the naming of the folders within the boot animation. I'm downloading Virtuous ROM now to take a look at how their boot animation is setup.

    If you have an XML Editor you can look in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. about 3/4 of the way through the file there is a section that lists which files are used for boot up and boot down.

    For instance here is what it says in the default.xml from the stock rooted dna rom:

    -<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audiostart="vzw" audio="/system/customize/resource/Droid_DLX_Eye_Animation_Sound_Design_9.21.12.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/vzw_bootup.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>

    Notice the audiostart="vzw". If you look in the desc.txt file within the stock boot animation file it looks like this:

    1080 1920 30
    p 1 15 android
    p 1 30 vzw


    Here is a quick description of each row in the desc.txt file:

    1080 1920 30 >> 1080x1920 Resolution, 30 Frames p/Sec as Default
    p 1 15 android >> 1st part uses the images in the android folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 15 seconds
    p 1 30 vzw >> 2nd part uses the images in the vzw folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 30 seconds. The folder vzw also triggers the boot animation sound as noted in the default.xml snippet above.

    I hope this helps.

    In Viper ROM it lists the audio file, but there is no audiostart tag, so I wonder if it just starts playing audio when the boot animation begins

    Here is the default.xml snippet from Viper ROM:

    -<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audio="/system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>

    I flashed this but I don't get the boot animation. all i get is a white htc screen. I'm on Virtuous rom.

    Did u assign the same permissions as the original bootanimation, has to be the exact same?

    Glad u got that corrected and no on the sound cuz that's the one and only issue I still have, I've renamed it android_audio.mp3 also android_boot.mp3 and even what it's actually named under scripts using Root Explorer (htc_boot.mp3) with no luck plus have been all over this forum asking the same question about sound with no conclusive reasoning?:(:thumbdown: sorry

    I think it's going to depend on which ROM you're running as to what sound file is needed. For Viper ROM it is the system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3. I would suggest looking at the Permissions of the mp3 file. start out setting them to rw- r-- r--.

    Let me know if this works out for you. I've thought about doing some boot ani's with sound, but haven't had time to try yet.
