Been looking allover the net and cant find a viable solution....I am on stock sprint ZVJ 2.3.3 rom/rooted, with HydroKernel GB...wanting to change the stock sprint poweron animation and sound as well as the scrolling android boot animation with a different one...anyone know how? All i could find similar was for the Optimus V
 
I could hook you up with the boot.img I made for DanteRom. It is just an animated LG animation, my goal was to de brand my rom. As for the audio, download root browser from the market. Using that, navigate to system, sounds (I believe will look later) and set permissions to read write. Delete the folder "poweron". That will erase the start up sound which I find very annoying. If you are wanting to tweak stock even more, let me know as I can point you to the extended power menu I made too (adds reboot and recovery to the options when going to shut down). Most of these tweaks assume (besides the start up audio) you have a custom recovery.

I am using Cannibal Open Touch , so i could put in the extended power menu on a stock rom? noice!! I want to put in the droid razr boot animation and boot sound, i found a optmized version to fit the screen on my opti-s its a flashable zip too. just want to get rid of the stock sprint animation and the stock android animationg on this stock rom. Its
 
If you follow the link I gave, it will give you the extended power menu. You MUST flash the zvj community rom over stock (will not change any thing on the user end, but will give you a deodexed version of stock and that is what I used for the base of the mod I did.

As for the rest, I will have to look into that boot animation, but someone else may be able to point you in the right direction before I can get to it.

FYI I just tested this,

wiped cache/dalvik cache
installed zvj community rom
installed power.mod
installed boot.img
(you would reflash your kernel of choice here, I did not for these testing purposes)
reboot

I ended up with stock zvj, modded boot animation and the extended power control.

Download root browser lite from the market, navigate to /system/sounds. Long press on /poweron and set permissions to read/write (check both unchecked under the write column). Then delete the poweron folder (long press, select delete). This will delete the audio tone that played during the sprint startup animation.
 
The boot animation i am looking at is on this post[26 MAR][MOD][PORT]Massive Bootanimation Repository! - xda-developers the droid razr one, i already have the boot sound

Also any way to flash the widgets in the notificatoin menu?

Thanks for the heads up, love the android dev community, makes me love my optimus even more, but im looking forward to getting my hands on the lte evo or the SGIII once I can upgrade...maybe ill donate my optmus to one of the devs ;)
 
I assume this is the bootanimation.zip you are talking about. Looking at it, it is safe and will work to add what you want for the animation.

And there is no simple way to add the notification quick panel to stock. If you want that, gonna have to flash a custom rom. HydroRom or my DanteRom are both good (check out the link in my signature if interested in DanteRom) and both have the power notification mod.
 
where do i put my new boot sound since its not in the flashable zip?

nevermind i figure it out, but its not playing the boot sound....and it goes lg poweron splash, then sprint bootanimation, then the droid razr one that i just flashed
 
how do i remove the sprint boot logo so i can just have lg splash when powering on, then droid boot animation with "droid" sound playing with it?
 
I have been looking and trying, but I can not enable to boot audio. The sound with the sprint splash is different, and cannot be used the same. I will continue to keep looking but no promises. In theory, I could build a boot.img with the Droid image and audio, then have the Droid razr animation but I can't figure how to enable sound for that part. Thought I had it, but ended up completely kill the animation completely (held at log logo straight into rom loading).

If your on zvd jstntp and I have boot sound and animation working but you would have to flash a boot img. Search boot sound on this forum and you should fine the thread.
Problem is when a lot of rom's are created they remove that from the boot img.
But if your on ZVJ this will not help.
I am still learning how to take apart a boot img.

blackops, I remember that discussion, but I thought that was more for the audio that plays during the sprint splash, NOT an audio that would play during the android animation. But I am off to look at that !!

Well you could be right about that, but he removed the sprint splash screen, so now it plays during my boot animation. I started with the droid sound and then changed it to Cyclon "by your command" sound.

EDIT: Its was jstntp who helped me with that not sfhub. Just wanted to make sure the right person got the credit for it!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe editing out the sprint boot image requires knowledge on how to split the boot image in Ubuntu, its no simple edit xanthus or drew can point you the right way.

You are correct. Not a easy task, especially when your a learning noob like me!

The boot.img can only be edited in Linux. I set up virtualbox and run Ubuntu in it. Jstntp pointed me to dsixda's kitchen to crack the boot image and do other goodies.
