New DROID X mixed boot animation, with sound.

[Casen]

Made a mixture of a few boot animations for my DROID X.
Rotten Apple
Stock DROID boot
NeXus Holiday Red

Then added (and mixed horribly) a sound I made from Apple startup, then some stock DROID auido files.

Sorry if its rotated, I forgot about that when I filmed it, but that actual phone and file are in portrait mode. Also, sorry about the "fisheye". My camera is a compact hand held with a 10x zoom. That close, and the lens warped the image a bit.

I have been able to get bootanimations to play on my droid x with sound. I took the following steps to enable this. I used root explorer to move the files.

1. Download the attached file. This file is one that I removed from a R2D2 D2.
2. Unzip the file and save the file to your sdcard. The file is labeled bootanimation.
3. Use root explorer and go to the folder /system/bin.
4. In that folder locate the file named bootanimation and save it as bootanimation2
5. move the file that you just renamed to your sdcard
6. move the new file that you downloaded and placed on your sdcard to the folder /system/bin
7. simple as that.

You will need to make sure that what ever audio file that is assigned to your bootanimation is saved in the folder /system/media

Have to give squidlymandingo a thanks for supplying the files from the R2D2 D2. Thanks

Adding boot sound to the X.

I have already edited the desc.txt to play one sound at the beginning of the animation. you can use what ever file you want, but it has to be named android.mp3

The sound file needs to be place in the /system/media/ folder, along with the boot animation.


EDIT:: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service Link for the zip with bootanimation, sound file, and the /system/bin/ file.

Im busy moving right now, but just look around for editing boot animations. Its pretty much just placing a series of files in a folder. If you still need help, I could probably work on that in within a few days.

very cool. My experience has been. Your /data/local/bootanimation.zip has to have the reference in the desc.txt file to a ogg file. That ogg needs to be in /system/media folder. To enable sound you must change out the /system/bin/bootanimation executable in order for it to work.

Can you and the owner of this thread do a step by step how to do all this?
