I've been searching on how to do this, but most of what I've found either doesn't work or it's just to remove the sound completely. I deleted the poweron file and placed in another file, renamed to poweron, but it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Theres an app called Root Tools. I think that has some boot sound options.
nevermind ...
I have a file I want to use, I'm just not sure on how to get it to recognize. Any thoughts?

So just to be clear I have it on my phone but don't know how to switch between the stock and the new one x_x help me please I can't stand the stock animation t mobile gives

You want root explorer. First you want to extract the zip file that contains the boot animation that you want, using astro file manager. Then go into root explorer, and replace /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg and /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
That will replace the video. The bootup sound is /system/etc/PowerOn.wav
replace those files with the one from the zip.
The shutdown video is a handful of image files located in /system/media/video/shutdown
and the shutdown sound is /system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg
Any other program other than root explorer cause I can't buy it cause I can't put it on my bill?

I have sufbs astro and andexplorer can I use those to do it?
Willsnews
Astro file manager doesn't give me a extract option but sufbs does but I guess I need ther root explorer for this cause I haven't had any luck any other way if you do know of a way to do this with the things I have listed it would be awesome to know and thanks for the reply x_x

i tried a different approach but it worked for me.
i used root explorer and deleted the .PNG files from
/system/media/video/shutdown
then, i used VirtualDub (free download, just google it) and opened a gif that i wanted to use as my shutdown animation
once in virtualdub, go to file, export, image sequence and change the name to
shutdown_
for the number of digits in select 1
then change output to .PNG
click ok.
Go to the folder that you exported it to and select 14 consecutive images that you want to use and change the file names in order to shutdown_1, shutdown_2 etc....
move these files to your external sd card.
Now go back into root explorer and find these files. Select all of them and move them to system/media/video/shutdown.
You are done. With this method you can use any .gif you want so long as it has only 14 frames. I'm sure there is a way you can use more than 14 frames but I haven't figured that out yet.
I followed all these steps.
1) I'm rooted
2) Have Root Explorer
When I go to paste my new .png files over the old ones, everything seems fine. But when I check the files, they are still the old ones.
Also when I try and delete some of them, they appear gone for a second, then re-appear.
I've tried changing permissions for the files / folders, which appears to work. But then when I look at the permissions again, they have been set back to the way they were before.
Any help appreciated.

if you have CWM go to recovery and install the zip of your boot animation (if its not in a zip idk) but this worked for me
I was able to change boot animation right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

The boot sound is the FinalThunder.mp3
If you're rooted w/stock, the file is under /system/customize/resource
If you've flashed Adrynalyne's rom, it's under /system/media
you have to rename it finalthunder.mp3.old. It worked on mine
you guys are reading his question wrong. he doesnt want to get rid of thundersound he wants to add his own music or sound.
Right, so name it finalthunder, make sure it's an mp3, and adb push it to whichever location applies to him.

has that worked for you?
I did finalthunder.mp3 and named the renamed the old file to finalthunder.old before i even posted this and still i got nothing. Does it have a specific quality or codec used?
How to Turn the ThunderBolt's Boot Sound into a Ringtone/Alarm/Notification:
1) Grab the FinalThunder.mp3 file and place it on your /sdcard.
2) Install Ringdroid or a similar ringtone maker app from the Market.
3) Find "FinalThunder" in Ringdroid and open it.
4) Select only the parts of the sound you want to keep (if you want to keep the entire sound make sure Start = 0.0 seconds and End = 8.42 seconds) and save it as a Notification sound with whatever name you want it to have in the Settings menu.
This file now is modified for notification purposes and can be found in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications/<WhateverYouNamed>.mp3.
You can choose right then and there to make it your default notification sound or you can choose it later from the Settings->Sound->Notification Sound menu.
Enjoy!
Not what I was asking but good info though. I want to replace the boot sound with something custom.
Hi there,
I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
I am new to the phone fiddling stuff so noob level instructions would be appreciated!
Think I have it sorted. I installed superuser and then Root Explorer allowed me to select read/write. Now to try sort out this file!
OK, seems that you need to edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keypad.kl. Did that. DO'H now my keyboard doesn't work at all! Glad it saved a backup for me! Not sure what I did wrong, only edited two characters in a text file! Even the power button doesn't work. Got to pull that battery out LOL!
It seems when the file was saved it was saved with zero size. When I try to delete it to replace it with the backup it says cant delete, read only. So, not sure how I am meant to replace this and fix this problem.
Any ideas, remembering that I cant actually use any buttons on the phone!
Rooted my phone, changing the system sounds. I can't find the key-tap sound. I replaced the TW_SIP file with my own in system/media/audio/ui and restarted the phone but it still plays the default sound, which probably means i'm replacing the wrong file. Anyone know where the right one is located?

You need to replace two files in that folder
1)TW_Touch.ogg
2)S_HW_Touch.ogg
Still the same. I'll explore with the settings and files some more.
Thats strange.I have those two files on my SDCard so that every time I flash a new ROM I can instantly change the sound from the awful water drip.I take it you rebooted after changing the files?
yes.
I tried using different files, same problem.
Since about 1 month I did something to disable boot animation sound (first using ARHD ROMs, then the one I made), and it survived various flashes (without every doing a full wipe). But last week I did a full wipe and boot sound is back.
During that time, I made something to disable the boot sound without needing to delete the boot sound files from /system/media/audio/ui, because I flashed many roms that wipe and rewrite the system partition (and rewrite the boot sound files) and boot sound was always disabled, so what comes to my mind is an option in some menu that I can't find anymore.
Does anybody know if there is a way to disable boot sound without deleting the media files?
You can go into root explorer go to the folder and simply rename the file from bootup.ogg (or whatever the file is) to bootup.ogg.bak (or whatever you prefer.
I add the .bak to it so i know I changed it and the original file name never changed. So if I ever want to enable it again, simply remove the .bak and is all good again.
Hope that made sense

I know about this rename/delete thing, but I am really curious to re-find out how did i do it last time without deleting the files
Did you try "silent boot" "no startup sound" "quiet restart" in market?

a little off topic
When I deleted the boot sound, I lost the multi window feature for wanamlite 5.3. Does anybody know why?
