They who have stock rooted room try this and report back. It would be very interesting to know if you get the same result as me.
I have stock ALF5, rooted. CSC=NEE, modem=LF5
With Root Explorer or other, rename /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.ogg.org
Reboot.
No boot sound should be heared.
Dial a number, friend or answering macine or something.
Do you hear anything? I don't.
Rename PowerOn.ogg.org back to PowerOn.ogg
Reboot.
Try to dial again. Everything should be back to normal.
I don't quite understand what's happening with the S3. On S2 this method was a easy way to get rid of the boot sound.
By renaming Camera_click.ogg doesn't make the sound disappear.
Has Samsung made some kind of mecanism to make it hard to modify the system of S3?
Report back please.

Same problem for me - and I think all of us who suffer from the call sound bug can't easily modify files on /system/app or /system/media without loosing call audio.

maybe we could try with a empty song file i mean a song of 0min
I just deleted the sound file, and don't have any issues.

Can confirm that. Renamed the file and no call sound. Renamed it to original and call sound is back again. I'm on stock rooted Alf 6.

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.
Sent from my HTC Incredible using Tapatalk
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.
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

So after using the Samsung Galaxy S II for over a month now I've had one complaint. In-Call Volume using the handset ear piece. It was "OK" in quiet places but anywhere else...way below par.
So, after looking around for several weeks trying to find a fix I finally got help from a well know dev (Entropy512) as well as using system/lib audio files from Designgears ROM 'Perception'.
So...how do you finally get your in-call volume increased?
First and foremost...Always backup whatever you're changing. Better safe than sorry. Just make a copy of your current system/lib folder, rename it something like 'backup_lib' and place on your sd card somewhere.
Option 1
Download this flashable zip, flash it in CWM, Reboot, Enjoy. (This zip includes some audio files from the Perception ROM, if for any reason DesignGears has an issue with this PM me and I will remove the zip. I'm only using the files to help others solve their in-call volume issue)
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
Download the Flashable Update Here
I have tested this on three different SGSII's and all seems well! This is a NO WIPE flash, I do reccomend clearing your Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition though.
-Reboot into Recovery
-Scroll down to 'Advanced' and select
-Select "clear Dalvik Cache"
-Flash this update
-Reboot your phone and enjoy!
Option 2 (Incase the flash doesn't work or I am asked to remove the the zip file)
1) Download Designgears ROM 'Perception' Found Here
2) Open the zip file of your current ROM (doesn't matter what ROM)
3) Open the system folder and then open the system/lib folder (of your current ROM)
4) Next, Open the same folder in the Perception ROM
5) Copy the files listed below from the Perception ROM and paste them over the files in your ROM:
- lib_Samsung_Acoustic_Module_Llite.so
- lib_Samsung_Resampler.so
- lib_Samsung_Sound_Booster.so
- libaudio.so
- libaudioeffect_jni.so
- libaudioflinger.so
- libaudiohw_op.so
- libaudiohw_sf.so
- libaudiopolicy.so
- liblvvefs.so
- libmediayamaha.so
- libmediayamaha_jni.so
- libmediayamaha_tuning_jni.so
- libmediayamahaservice.so
- libsamsungAcousticeq.so
- libsamsungSoundbooster.so
- libsoundalive.so
- libsoundpool.so
- libSR_AudioIn.so
- libyamahasrc.so
*Only copy/replace the files listed above as they are only audio files. DO NOT COPY/REPLACE all system/lib files... You'll have unwanted consequences and you'll probably kill a puppy.
6) Now go to the Perception ROM and open system\app and find phone.apk. (Save a copy of your current phone.apk...Just in case)
-Copy (Perception's) phone.apk and replace the phone.apk on your current ROM.
7) After you replace the files listed above on your ROM, reflash your ROM and enjoy your increased call volume.
Note: If you don't want to reflash your ROM and risk losing any settings, you should be able to copy the files and replace them with Root Access and a file explorer, then Reboot your device immediately after. I haven't tried this yet so if someone wants to try and leave feedback, please feel free.
EDIT: Copying the files using a root explorer does work but may cause your phone to crash/reboot afterwards. I'd still recommend just re-flashing the ROM to avoid potential issues. Once again, make sure and make a back up so you can revert any changes if something doen't work properly.
I will try uploading a zip file with appropriate files so you can download but currently I do not have Designgears permission. This is their code and I don't want to step on any toes.
EDIT: I have tried reaching out to DG for permission but had no luck, if he asks that I remove the zip file, I will do so.
Known Potential Issues:
- When flashing over a stock/rooted ROM this update may cause the phone application to crash/force close. I have tried this update personally on every ROM I could flash and haven't had any issues. However, I have not tried it on the stock ROM. If you're on stock/rooted, please make a backup so if it does cause issues you can simply revert the changes.
Much thanks goes to Entropy512 for the help with solving this issue and Designgears ROM 'Perception'. Using Perception showed me that increasing the in-call volume was possible! (it's a very stable and awesome ROM as well )
***UPDATE***
Due to some people being a worried about flashing the update I have taken the liberty of making the backup files for you and making them flashable!
- I have made revert files for all of the major ROM's we currently have for our device. I did not include Perception because that ROM is where the audio files originated from. Below is the download links for the backups.
IF my volume fix does NOT work, simply download the backup for your ROM and flash it. It will revert all the changes my fix made.
- Revert_CM7.1_Stable
- Revert_H8s2_1.2.2
- Revert_Serendipity_8.2
- Revert_Stock_UCKH7
- Revert_UnNamed_1.2
- Revert_MIUI 1.11.4 v1
- If you are using Perception ROM you do NOT need the volume fix as this ROM has the files built in
As a side note, I have tried this on several I9100 ROM's as well and had luck with them all.
If this thread helps, please click the thanks button for me, I'm new to the XDA community.
Any I9100 ROM should work here for the libs - however:
Your mic will be screwed up for outgoing audio unless you change the Samsung Noise Reduction settings. (DG forced this in Perception, I believe he did it in an APK somewhere and not in the libs.)

I just tried a call and you're correct, the mic isn't working properly. Do I need to find the APK or do you know what changes I need to make? This is a popular issue and I'm hoping this thread can help.
Edit: I found some APK's....any idea which one would deal with the mic?
-CallSetting.apk
-Phone_Util.apk
-Phone.apk
-Settings.apk
Ahahaha, good thing I made a backup before pasting, but pasting the files in root explorer does work, however your phone will crash and reboot, but it is louder.
Doesn't work on the apk :v

Try copying the CallSetting.apk as well (use both). If you still don't have any luck with fixing the mic issue and you're using a file manager to make the switch, try re-flashing your ROM with the apk changes instead.
Make a backup before doing it so you can restore all your settings if it doesn't work for some reason.

No, I just added replaced the files in the Unnamed 1.1.0 full update zip, ran an update via CWM, with only the phone.apk and microphone works.

Thats awesome news. Low mic has always been an issue for me. Just wondering if someone can create a flash able zip that automates everything, if possible.
Great work guys.

IF I can get approval from Designgears to use some sources from his ROM I shouldn't have any issues putting this into a zip file for everyone. I've reached out to DG, just awaiting a response

LOL! Me too! I all over this!
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

Did you try "silent boot" "no startup sound" "quiet restart" in market?

Hello everyone.
The main thread for CM12 was closed and so I will be posting the modded mixer_paths.xml here. It will boost headphone volume and speaker volume. Be careful.
UNZIP, the xml is inside. XDA won't let me upload straight xml files. Dum.
Just drop it in /system/etc and fix permissions. Done!
Remember to make a backup of your original.
Thank you so much for this. Works great

Thanks for this. I tried it out and had distortion on music and video. Seems to be just a tad bit to loud. I ended up reverting back to stock.
I was just getting on here to ask for this. And here it is. Good work my friend.
Great Develoment
Not a total newb, but where do I need to go to fix permissions after pasting the file in system/etc?
It depends on your file browser. I use root explorer, just long press the file and it will be an option.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm using root browser, and I see options for permissions, but it's to change them for owner, guest, and others. Not sure what they are supposed to be set at, and whether the setting should be for the file I'm moving, the etc folder, or the system folder. Messed around with them but the volume isn't changing.

Please forgive my noob/ingorance here...but I need some help.
I use ES Explorer (with root enabled) and I have no problem unzipping, grabbing the xml file & pasting it in /system/etc file.
My question is, how exactly do I then 'fix permissions' ?
Thanks in advance.
Please disregard previous post, got it & it's working great! Thank You

What file explorer are you using? I asked a question here days ago and - while trying to figure this out for myself - ended up in one of my "efforts" with your same situation. I finally got this to work and may be able to help you.
I redownloaded the file and installed and now works great, must have been a bad download.

Download a root browser. I use fx file Explorer. Click on the system partition and grant it root permissions open up the etc folder and overwrite the mixer_path.xml in there. After that long click on the mixer_path.xml and click details, then click where the permissions are and set them to 0644 then Reboot. Make sure to set the permissions correctly otherwise you won't have sound or end up in a bootloop. Make a nandroid before you do this so incase something happens you can revert back to that.
Edit: download it on your phone and extract it and follow the steps above. No need to do it through a computer. It can all be done from your phone.
Sounds twice as loud, thank you!
