Froyo bootanimation sound

[Guest Lew247]

Has anyone managed to get audio working with the bootanimation on the blade yet?

I've managed to change the animation easily enough and have a pacman type boot screen now, but the sound that goes with it just wont work no matter what I do

I edited the desc.txt file to include the word android at the end of the description, 480 800 24

p 1 10 android as this has to be there for the sound to play but it just wont.

and yes I named the audio file android_audio.mp3

I also used TextPad when editing the desc.txt file and saved it as a Unix file, but still it wont work.

Does anyone know the location inside the phone I can drop the audio file into and see if it works by pushing it there?

I've tried pushing it into /system/media and leaving it inside the bootanimation.zip file but nothing, the animation works great but no sound.

There is a service in the init.rc that is called bootsound and points to /system/bin/playmp3. Like in most new Android builds I've seen there exist no /system/bin/playmp3 so that service won't work. You propably need that file and that service in init.rc for it to work. Not sure it's worth the trouble. In Hungarian Hedgehog RLS2 I've removed services that points to binaries that do not exist so if you plan to try to find a playmp3 binary and putting it into a build, do not use my latest ROM. All other custom ROMs however should have the service in place, but no binary. No idea if it can be made to work, never bothered trying. (I've had bootsound on my TyTN II once and it was extremely annoying).

The first unmodified leak of the Chinese Froyo rom had sound with the boot animation. Not sure if it's worth looking there.
