Root Custom Boot - Blue X takeover for root users

xclr82xtc · Sep 5, 2010

NICE...just put that on my phone..LOVE IT..wish it had a blue eye though...

now...

SOUND!!! lol (maybe with froyo)

i read through the build.prop, and i found the file name it looks for, and put it in the same spot and everything. but nothin happened. i dont think this build of android loads the drivers for sound early enough or something...oh well. maybe with the real update.

I didn't, I just picked thoes images manually out of the bootanimation.zip on my desktop

What would be really cool is if you could replace the eye with 343 Guilty Spark from Halo.

I plan to try building my own bootanimation using png files that are the same size and name and replacing them in the compressed archive. I am not 100% this will wrok, but I would think it should. I am thinking something with R2D2

Can I put in a request for someone to make a boot screen with a blue STI driving through???

Yeah, I loaded that one up for now. It is pretty nice, but I would like to try something a little more custom. I was pretty disappointed with the live wallpapers that come with the R2D2 edition.

For those that mentioned they were interested in the cylon eye, I created a boot animation that includes just the simple eye. I kept the opening droid logo (I kinda like it), but you could easily take that out. It's up and working on my X with no problems. Still no sound...

The eye looks like this

Yes, that will work. That's all I did (since I have no graphic skills - converting files I can manage). The text file seems to tell the phone what size image to expect and what frame rate to use. Good luck, and make sure to share what you come up with

Pointguard1122 · Sep 9, 2010

Thanks for the confirmation. I will be sure to share my boot animation. I used to work in graphic design so I have some skills, but they are rusty. Hopefully I can throw something together this weekend.

thought i would share this with you guys. Its the droid x eye live wallpaper In diff colors. That way if you want the blue one to match the OPs boot image.

Just ignore the tmp folder, just paste your zip file in the /local folder, then reboot.

...needs sound behind it...anyone got any ideas?

edit...ive tried putting sound files in a bunch of places..nothing works. i think maybe its just not written into the instructions to look for sound. really, i need to log it to see what files it searches, but i dont know how.

also trying to figure out a way to make the /system folder 755 so we can make changes at the source, but its not working out ...says its ROM only...eh, oh well

You have to edit the build.prop file to gain a boot sound animation.

Just remove the # from in front of the following line:

# persist.mot.powerup.tone=/system/media/bootup.ogg

And from that line, I hope you can figure out where the boot sound goes, and what to name it.

However, this won't play "during" the boot animation...It only plays after.

Can you just replace the bootup.ogg file with one of your own choosing, provided it has the same bitrate, channels, etc.?

I see no reason why it wouldn't work - as long as the settings are alike. I'm not too sure about length of audio track though

So I just tried this and it worked like a charm (I even used an mp3 instead of ogg - changing the filename in build.prop accordingly). The only issue is that is still plays the notification sound as well , which means that they both played over each other. Anybody know how to keep the notification tone from playing at startup?

Can you post specifically what you did, I would love to add sound. How long was the mp3 that you used?

I have already done build.prop edits, I just need to know what string you edited and did you just replace the ogg file with filename.mp3?

beds · Sep 10, 2010

Yeah. Just like Mojo said, I changed the build.prop file to remove the # and changed the name to bootup.mp3. Then I put my mp3 file in /system/media.

The only issues here are
1) Like Mojo said, the file doesn't play during startup, only at the end.
2) The phone still plays the notification tone, so both sounds played at the same time.

Ok, I did that. This is a start. I had an mp3 that was about 4 seconds but it cut it in half. Oh well, its getting late, I'm going to try to tweak it tomorrow.

Hopefully soon we can get some sound during the boot animation, that would be awesome!

How hard would it be to change the eye color to green? And where it says droid change it to something else?
