Coming from the HTC evo, I'm disappointed at the lack of both animations for the RAZR m.

Can boot animations made for other phones be used in the RAZR m?

Look in the Android General section of XDA. You'll find tons of animations, but look for ones that fit your device's resolution (960x540, qHD for RAZR M)
You can use any animation that suites you, but those not fit for qHD screens will either be shrunk or too large.

Good advice man thank you! I've tried a couple out and the ones I snagged from the evo forum seem to be working okay but I can't seem to incorporate the audio.

Any ideas? I know it has to be an .oog file yeah?

Thank you so much. Found some really cool ones on that link. I'm still not getting any audio though. Am I doing something wrong? Boot animation flashes and works perfectly fine with the exception of audio.

i don't think any of them contain audio. for some reason, DEVs seem to dislike audio for boot animations. I enjoy them, but given that I rarely reboot my phone now (going on 234 hours since last reboot...I know, I know...I should reboot twice a week, but I'm testing to see how long I can go, and my phone still performs better than ever!), I just don't see the need to add audio. if you wanted to add audio, then you could by inserting a wav file (I think save it as *.ogg or something like that) in the system/media folder (or some place similar to that).

I believe I read that only some kernels allow the sound to be changed on boot animations. So animation creators don't include it in the file normally.

Anyone got a definitive answer on this? I produce my own music and would love to make a custom boot beat.......

if you can save the file as *.ogg, save it as "PowerOn.ogg" (without quotations, of course), and save it to your /system/media/ui folder

I'll get and test this tonight. Can anyone recommend a converter say from MP3 to .oog. I'll Google it too.

I cant seem to be able to write to that folder using Astro. Says Error: Could not write file.

Do I need to change the folder permissions? If so, how do I go about doing that.

You need root access. Try root explorer

Okay I was able to test out that method and it didn't work for me. Got the oog move to the ui folder and named it powerone.

No dice. Anyone got a different way to make an audio file work for boot up sound?

I have been trying to get boot sound for the longest and it wont work for any rom that is based of cyanogen cause they have remove the option for it. I read it on there web site and said that they think it is annoying and will not put it back in. Only way to get it back is use a rom not based off cyanogen. Here is the link to there answer on there website. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse...ira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Well that's good to know. I'm using stock ROM though. Any options for me?

Did you name it powerone or poweron? If you added "e" at the end, maybe that's why it didn't work. :confused:
