How to Get Rid of "DROID" sound on new 2.2 RUU Bootup

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?

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?

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.

What is that file used for?
Where is it in the system?
Is that the audio that plays during the boot animation?

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.

Boot Animation.

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 ?

What's the exact name of the Rom your using might help find the right spot for it. Who built it (virus,myn,mik,ect....) every bit of info helps.
brought to you by the voices in my head

From his first post it is HTC's 4.22.651.? OTA update and it seems to have been moved entirely as I tried while I was playing around with it to change the boot animation and it would not work for me either

i just ripped that rom(supersonic_4.22.651.2_deodexed) apart and i found the bootanimation in system\customize\resource named SPC_bootanimation.zip

Sorry thought you were on 3.7, my bad. I believe he may be correct in the location, but also try
data/syscustomize/resource/
and do make sure you name it correctly with the underscore _ and not the . with lower case spc_bootanimation.zip . If you get the sound to work let me know, been trying for some time. Word is out that it needs to be named version11samelength.mp3 but I have had no success with either lower or upper case. But man do I have a sweet ani...eh D? lol

That's not there for me. Also, as stated I'm using the supersonic stock rom.
Nevermind there was a file there named that. Was just hidden for some reason. Just wrote over it with my custom bootanimation.zip and it worked. Thanks a bunch.

[Q] Change boot animation on roalex ICS for Bravo

Hi all,
I looked and tried for a while now, but I'm not able to change my boot animation on the COS ICS by roalex. A bootanimation.zip stored in system/media and/or in data/local doesn't work for me. I'm shure it changed in general in ICS. Can anybody help me please to find a way to change my boot animation?
Some ICS threads recommend to store in system/customize/resource, but I don't have a customize file.
For all changes I use root explorer.
Thanks and have a nice day!

What do you mean with "does not work"? Is any bootanimation shown or do you just get a black screen? Did you make your named it correctly and really replaced the old bootanimation?

Thanks for your answer
The bootscreen in general works. In settings I can enable and disable boot animation. When I enable boot, then the old school android boot animation is showed. I think this is maybe a fallback mode, when there is no bootanimation.zip. But I don't know.
When I look into /system/media and /data/local after a fresh installation, then there is no bootanimation.zip. Maybe the builder of this ROM has diasabled custom boot images to speed up the device (it is indeed very fast).
And because he has disabled boot animation per default, I'm not able to set up my own.
It's not the first time I created my own animation, so I'm shure it works at least in gingerbread.
My new question should be now, how to enable bootanimation in this special case, when it is disabled by default?
I suggest, that this is no big deal, when this doesn't work on this rom. I can live without a nice boot animation. It's more for my general comprehension, how android is working.

I guess you mean folder, not file, don't you?

Yes, indeed. Sorry.

Tried to create folderpath (/customize/resource) yourself and then move the bootnanimation.zip there?
BEFORE TRYING, MAKE A NANDROID-BACKUP!!!

Ok it didn't work for me. I'm a backup profi now, but nothing seems to work.
It's ok for me, I'll close this thread now.
Gracias!

It works flawless on my HTC Desire with this ROM.

I know the issue......install disk usage and tell me size of your system partition free space, then tell the size of bootanimation.....it always happens when space not enough.....Android tries to write your file, and if no space, it just shows.that file is written.....please check free space and tell.....

Changing the Verizon Boot Animation Sequence?

With S-OFF, I imagine this is possible. Has anyone done so?

Yeah, you can do this. I use the Google Edition HTC One boot animation. Just Google it and you can find the file. Simply rename it bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. Make sure you replace the bootanimation.zip currently in there to something else such as bootanimation.bak. You might have to change permissions to rw-r-r as well.

my /system/media doesn't have an existing bootanimation.zip. Nevertheless I placed that file in that location, set permissions and the stock Verizon animation still showed. Now I'm stumped. Pulled the file from HERE, trying both a manual addition as well as flashing the flashable zip provided.

Are you running a Sense rom? If so, the boot animations are located in System-Customize-Resource. There are two that you need to replace, one for booting up, vzw_bootup.zip, and one for shutting down, hTC_downamination.zip.

Hmm... I did this and for some reason the boot animation wasn't replaced but the down animation works fine. Side note, does the boot sound in that folder play for anyone else?
HTC One s-off

On the stock HTC ROM, to change the boot animation, you have to change two files in 'system/customize/resource/' : "htc_bootup_one.zip" and "vzw_bootup.zip" (capitalization matters). They both have to be replaced with fully functional boot animations. When I changed mine, it wouldn't work if I just changed one or the other, I had to change both.
On the stock HTC ROM, to change your down animation, you have to replace "hTC_downanimation.zip" (capitalization matters) in '/system/customize/resource/' with a functioning down animation.
On custom ROMS, you have to look to find where it's at. Sometimes it's in 'system/media' named "bootanimation.zip", sometimes it's not. Remember, it has to be a functioning replacement, otherwise it will show the stock ANDROID boot animation.

Actually, you don't have to replace the htc_bootup_one.zip. You can rename it to .bak and replace or do the same to the vzw_bootup.zip and it will work. I actually removed my htc_bootup_one.zip and replaced the vzw one and everything works fine. Probably helps that the boot up animation I use was made for the One variants that don't have anything to do with Verizon

That's very odd. Now that I try it without the "htc_bootup_one.zip", it works, but it didn't when I originally replaced it. Very, very odd.

I grabbed a flashable boot animation (including audio) from the HTC One section and was finally able to get the animation to work after messing with the .xml file. Tried to throw the audio in with it and couldn't get it to work...I'm on Bonestock and noticed there wasn't any audio with the regular boot animation...could it be the Rom? Volume is up btw.
To get a better idea of what I did I'll include the tread. I wasn't able to flash, so I had to manually replace/rename the files in my system/customize/resource folder and then change the name for the boot animation in the .xml file. I tried to follow the steps to get the audio file included as well, but it just reverted to a basic android boot animation when I attempted that.

If I recall correctly, there is an option in the XML file that tells it not to play audio when it's not the first time you set up the phone, meaning it only plays on initial setup. You need to change that setting to play every time. I don't want audio on my boot animations, so I leave it alone.

Add this code to the XML file.
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/MP3_file_name_here.mp3"
This is assuming the sound you want is located in the 'resource' folder. If not, give the correct path and filename. Hope this works for you.

I had tried that like it said in the OP, but for some reason when I added that in there it changed the boot animation completely and still with no audio. Ah well, it's probably more convenient with out it.
