Anyone know how to get rid of the STUPID "DROOOOIIIIDD" sound when the Incredible boots up?
I'm rooted and have S-OFF, so I should be able to do anything I need to make it happen.
Thanks!
gbruyn, what's up man!? Were ya been hiding lol, how they heck have you been here over two years and this is only your 16th post?
There's a few places it could be. I use root explorer for this.
look in system, then customize, then something else, it will be a .zip on top of the boot animation it self, keep the boot animation but delete the .zip for the sound. you can check to make sure its the right file by opening it and itll play the sound, if its the boot up sounds you know its right.

So do I just delete it? Won't the file subsystem look for that file and give me an error?

Nope just delete it, it'll be like, it isn't' there.
Thanks ACD168 for the info. I poked around and found it.
/system/customize/resource/VZW_Droid.mp3
I just renamed it to VZW_Droid.mp3.old and no more "DROID!"

Good stuff brother!, glad to hear I was hoping it would be figured out, I couldn't remember it exactly off the top of my head and was afraid my explanation was worthless.
Any tips for doing this without root since the method seems to have changed?

So, I'm attempting to create a custom bootscreen for my EVO, and was trying to find out if anyone knew how to get a copy of the initial "htc EVO" logo with white background that comes up? I've gone through the file system a few times, but haven't managed to find anything in there (and I've read from other phones that it's some strange hidden file that can be changed, but I'm not looking to change it, merely to a copy of it in a readable format to incorporate it into my own bootscreen animation). Is it hard coded into the phone itself somewhere magically? Any help would be great.

I may be wrong but I believe it's built into the bootloader.

Yeah, that makes sense. I managed to find instructions on how to change it here:

But that's not necessarily so helpful in getting my hands on the original image.
It's the splash in the Rom.zip I believe. Or like said above it part of the bootloader

got a stock evo 2.1 rooted it.. with clockwork installed custom rom and kernel updated to 2.2 everything is okay used romanger to go back between clock work and arom... but still cant get the adb commands to work... actuall just trying to push a spc mp3 file tried replacing with root explorer no go
One thing a lot of us had trouble with going from 2.1 to 2.2 was the su app didn't like being bundled with a rom. Uninstall your su app and install the one from the market.
Let us know if this fixes it.

yes it does im assuming the stock recovery uses the red exclamation... now i have the yellow one i tried to remount and i get an error.....
so why must we adb on the 2.2 when the 2.1 all you needed was root explorer? to change boot animation and sound.....
The boot animation in 2.2 is a single .zip file. Boot animations are something I haven't gotten into much (on the EVO) so I'm not sure how it was on 2.1 but I'd guess it was more like the Hero where it was a .gif or two and a sound file.
When the boot animation is packaged in a single .zip file you can't just swap out parts of it. You'd have to unzip it, change what you want, and make sure the xml (if there's on in there) is adjusted accordingly. If you swapped the sound file for one that was of the same name you'd probably be fine to rezip and drop the whole zip back in there.
This is pure speculation though. I may be totally wrong. If I were gonna try to customize my boot though that's where I would start.

You can use pushboot found in the development section to change the sound and/or the bootanimation.

Cool, dl'ing virus rom now so I can see exactly what you're working with.
Are we sure you actually do have su permissions and it was just an issue with this boot animation package?
Can you mount your /system as R/W in root explorer?

Same goes for 2.2. Just swap out the files in /system/customize/resource/ I've also seen them in /system/media/ depending on which rom you're using.

Im interested in making boot animations using movie clips, but im not sure where to start. I have book marked a few how-to's to get started (have to work in a min so ill read up later) but none of them seem to describe using a video in the boot animation. Any help would be great, thanks.
I am pretty sure it has to be a series of png's
Maybe you could find an app that can take the movie clip and split into a series of images? but then you would have to deal with extracting the audio and seems like it would be quite the headache!

+1 to this.
It DOES have to be a series of PNGs and it WOULD be a MAJOR headache!
I figured itd have to be a series of images, as for the audio I should be able to extract the audio as mp3 from the source. Syncing the 2 might be an issue. Any tools for making boot animations?

Seems like i cant delete or write in this area...
I know im full root, and im using Android mate to root explore. Cant find an option to edit permissions for the folder.
Any ideas here, ive tried adb, 2 different boot animation changer script/programs, and using a file explorer.
Thanks guys

if using adb you have to give yourself SU first by typing adb shell then SU
if using root explorer, go to settings and then go to Root options (all the way to the bottom) and check Mount File System.
Hope that works! =D
btw, sometimes Root Explorer might be temperamental so you might have to uncheck and check again the box..
Make sure you zip file is in storage format. Make a flashable zip if you can much easier.
How do i go about making it a flashable zip?

I appreciate it and will try it out, but could someone maybe explain the process of creating a flashable .zip in general (i intend to do this for bootanimations & possibly splash screens) and if that process differs for bootanimation/splash screens.
What makes it flashable? Just the script? If so whats the syntax for the script?
Thanks again
How do I go about changing my boot animation for rooted OTA update. I've tried changing the boot animation.zip in /data/local.
If anyone could boint me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
have you tried pasting the bootanimation zip inside system/media.
P.s. you will see a folder named audio, DONT touch it
Tried the one in media with no success. :/
Try /data/animations ?

Download the attachment and move it to SD card.
Use Root explorer and go to " /system/customize/resource"
copy the original "ATT_boot animation" somewhere safe.
delete it and move the boot animation from the SD card to "/system/customize/resource"
you will have to mount it probably
for me i changed the permission so its "rw-r--r--"
if any question msg me =) hope it works

i dont know if it has to be 3sec, i just said that for a safety issue incase it did cause bootloops and since this is 2 boot animations, you can always delete the HTC boot ainmations and leave the ATT just make it longer and maybe the sound will go as long as the ATT boot animation
edit-
also i should be more clear on that lol i just wanted the end part where he gets slapped to the face, and the sound to that is around 3 secs itself so should work out

I wonder if this limitation is hardcoded or if it's just a script limitation. If it's a script limitation it could be overrided to allow longer audio.

The xml may work, its just telling the phone to look for Bootsound.mp3 and Bootanimation.zip
instead of actually looking for the branded name, this will work but would need to be fixed for our phones, you can do this yourself actually
i wouldnt flash that xml as its specific to the mt4g,
you can to your xml
go to settings/customize/resources open the xml
and scroll to boot configuration
there just rename the "ATT.." to bootanimation
and the ATT...mp3 to bootsound.mp3
from there when you make bootanimation or booutsound no need to rename it to "ATT...zip" or "ATT...mp3"
make sure you back it up first and for really cautious nand back up
