I am going to try making this work. I am running PG's cm7. Will this have any extra steps to make the sound work as there is already sound playing. I am a noob at changing something such as this. Thanks.
WOW. That's really cool. I'm not much into Star Trek, but I may just get this just to make my Trekkie friend jealous... Lol.
Are there more boot animations like this that can be found? I'm really curious now.
Do we need root explorer to do this? Stock file manager on cm7 won't let me move the file off of the sd card.
It takes like 45 more secs roughly after the animation is done..
actually not that much as my roms have bootsound already . Just need to make the sound file used a mp3 and name it android_audio.mp3 and put it in the system/media/audio/ui dirI am running cm7, and it worked. Yes there is extra steps to get the sound to work but the txt file in the sound zip tells you where to put every thing Let me know how it turns out!
Good work MC, how did you get you're phone to boot so fast?
And install as stated above?
yes and there is a text file in the .zip that tells you where every file goes.
Thanks for the LCARS files masterchief, after steering me in the right direction I had to figure something out myself:
After I upgraded to 2.2 (Ascend Metro PCS) the "bootanimation.zip" needs to go into the following location, I used root explorer.
cust/metropcs/us/media
I converted the mp3 to ogg using VLC media player and simply dropped it here:
/system/media/audio/ui
Now I have a cool startup sequence thanks 2 U.
Awesome job and thanks for the info. Would I be able to add your info(and proper credit) and work up top so that others may find it? I must admit that I have moved on to the HTC Evo after hitting the physical limitation of the phone, but have kept monitoring this forum just cause of time and passion involved let me know

Sure, no prob. I'm going to upgrade next month too. Do you have metro PCS? I need recommendations on a new phone, I'll see if they carry the HTC Evo. This Ascend has exceed my expectations ( I thought it would break after a few months ) however is is well built.
Masterchief.
This is truly a piece of art. I only have 1 thing I have to complain about...
It's too small for my Droid x!!
What are the chances of getting a version that is 480 x 854?
I tried to resize it myself, but now I just get the black screen while it is supposed to run. Or is there something I can do that I missed when recreating the zip file with the resized images?
I beg of your help Masterchief. Pwease?
