[Q] SGS3 Disable boot sound without deleting from system? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Rooted samsung vibrant step by step instruction change boot animation????x_x

I have a different boot animation on my phone and I'm not sure hot to apply it I don't have a pc so I want to do this straight through the phone I have sufb and astro file and the new boot animation shows up but I don't know where to put it any body know what I can do?
Willsnews
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
Willsnews
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?
Willsnews
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
Willsnews
I also do not have busybox wil that make a difference?
Willsnews
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.
Mike
Same thing for me, I have no idea where to go from here, all i know is i will do anything it takes to never have to see that eye sore of a pink square t mobile bootup again... Someone help a brotha out
bump!
There is an app to do it on the evo... not that it helps us.
Yeah I figured this out while ago thank you his for trying to help me and the thread can be deleted or closed

[Q] Change the boot sound?

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?

[Q] How can you change bootanimation sound?

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.

[Q] Boot Animation Audio

I have the Call of Duty boot animation, but for some reason the audio wont work. I also have tried the Xbox 360 boot animation. Even that, will not play the audio. but the FinalThunder.mp3 still plays fine.
Ive checked permissions, file names...rhetorically everything. Anyone got an idea what i might be doing wrong?
which rom are you using.....I'm finding the same problem using CM7 and the Bios boot animation. Haven't really looked into it yet though as I just loaded it this morning.
Will post back if I find anything.........
Stock. I rooted fully. Rootchecker says im fine, and the animation works, but no sound
What I have found that works is you have to have the folders within bootanimation.zip set up the same way as the stock one: android, progress and VZW. I haven't look that far into but it seems like the boot sound is triggered when a certain folder is started. If this is so, replacing the boot animation with another one that isn't structured the same and renaming the mp3 to FinalThunder won't work.
Like, wat do you mean? only thing i got is the bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3, and its int he same place, as in /system/customize/resource/

There's a folder structure inside bootanimation.zip. I'm not talking about where the zip file stored on the phone. More than like the Call of Duty zip has two folders in it, android and part2. Link me to where you got the boot animation and I'll fix it for you.

Looking inside them both, stock bootanim has no folders. But the COD one does. As for the audio, FinaltHUNDER works but cod-finalthunder wont. (no, i didnt name it that lol)
As i said before, the boot animation works PERFECTLY, just the audio is not working
Try this. Works with sound on my phone. http://www.mediafire.com/?2fvuc65eqdcfdp3

Also, could you maybe tell me what you did? I really want to learn. I have some others i'd like to get working, as well as some ideas I am building with some friends. They know the stuff, but they are in classes and doing finals..I don't have the luxury of college.
Also, is there a way i can adb into my phone and auto-achieve r/w on my system folder? Right now, i have to use RootExplorer and mount as R/W since adb always tells me "unable to push, blah blah, read only filesystem"
It works. Perfectly. Cept the audio is unsynched but that will be easy for me to fix. Thank you so much. What did you change, my awesome savior?

All I did was set the folder structure the same way the stock one is, with android, progress and VZW and made sure desc.txt was formatted properly.
If you are using adb, instead of using Root Explorer to mount system, try command
Code:
adb shell sysrw
Of course this command all depends on how the ROM is set up that you are using.
So, say im using a new bootanimation. Copy/pasta the desc text file, and make sure the structure inside is the same way?
adb shell sysrw says permission denied. im using rooted stock.

Simple break down: android folder contains the first image of the boot animation; the one some people thinks is a second splash screen. VZW folder contains the actually boot animation images and progress is the last image display at the phone is booting. Place your boot animation images in these folders accordingly. I would suggest just putting a plain black image in the android folder and name the image the same as the stock "second splash" screen.
Use the desc.txt file from the boot that I sent you. The only thing you will need to change is the frame rate to make it work with other boot animations. So if a boot is supposed to be displayed at 10 fps, change the 30 to 10 and save.
Once you have everything the way you want it, zip all three folders and desc.txt using the store, or no compression, option. Now you are ready to go. Like you mentioned earlier, you may need to edit FinalThunder.mp3 to make it sync correctly.
About adb sysrw command; stock RUU is not up for that command. Not sure what the syntax would be for stock root or if you can even mount the system as R/W through adb.
dont think i can. and i thnk i gotta lower the fps a little ont he animation

Did you open it from within the zip file and save it? If so, when you saved it, the zip was updated and probably changed the compression ratio to the default of whatever program you are using.

[Q] How to disable startup sound on Rooted phones and edit boot up pictures

Device: Motorola CLIQ MB 200 Android 2.1 phone [Rooted] Blur_Version.2.1.5.MB200.T-Mobile.en.US
Which file needs to be edited to disable the annoying startup up boot sound? I would rather edit then use an app.
Can T-Mobile "Stick Together" animation that plays at each boot be edited? Can Motorola animation that plays before that be edited?
EDIT: HERE's how:

I will and to clarify, initial Motorola splash is seen but Motorola Blur animation is gone. Cell Phone carrier animation is gone as well.
As for my question - success! I hope this helps someone else:
• Renaming /system/media/bootanimation.zip gets rid of the default Motorola and default Cell carrier animation and the Android logo changing colors can be seen instead at boot up.
• Renaming /system/media/audio/notifications/OnTheHunt.ogg is the only way to get rid of the boot up sound.

I have a couple of other questions: How can you disable your Contacts being backed up by your phone carrier?
Is it necessary to manage background RAM usage on Androids, should you make Apps release RAM they used after you finish using them?
Using Droid Explorer I found that this zip file contains the boot up animation:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
The zip file contains a series of .png files which I assume can be simply replaced?
But you can use Droid Explorer from your PC to only copy files from phone - not write files TO phone. How do I mount the phone as read and write so I can simply copy-paste files from PC?
set the sytem sound to zero and the startup sound will atomatically be disabled...

Use root explorer in your phone to acces system/media/bootanimation.zip. Then copy it to sd card and extract it edit the .png files then re zip it and copy the modified bootnimation.zip back to /system/media/ and reboot your device. (Backup orginal bootanimation.zip as well as do a nandroid backup of your rom before doing so because you might get into problem, so you can revert anytime)

IMO, ES File Explorer is the best on the Market. It's free and it allows read/write access for root users. Just make sure to enable the option in the Setting menu. Then select your new bootanimation.zip file and paste it into /system/media. Rename the original bootanimation.zip.bak (if you like - although that boot animation is horrible so it's doubtful you'll ever need it again). Then simply reboot. There are thread on XDA dedicated to sharing custom boot animations - just do a search.
In terms of RAM, Android manages it pretty well all by itself. I've heard users more experienced than myself say that unused memory is wasted memory. Point is - don't worry about it. And definitely do not use a task killer unless you know exactly what you're doing. I recommend the app Watch Dog. There is a free add supported version in the Market. It's a great tool if you want to monitor your RAM usage.
By the way, I HIGHLY recommend you flash CyanogenMod 7. The lastest nightly version 86 is running wonderfully on my Cliq. You'll notice huge improvements in terms of performance and battery... everything is better. Flash it asap. Either use ROM Manager or check out the Cliq thread on simplyandroid.com.
Thank you for great suggestions, I will look into all of that. Yes! ES File Explorer is better than Astro File manager I had installed. I think both ES File Explorer and ES Task manager need to be installed. And then you can copy-paste files from SD card to phone system if you CHECK: Mount File System in its settings. Thank you.
I understand I need to set system sound to zero and the startup sound will automatically be disabled.
Cliq has no system sound setting, look: Settings > Sound & display:
• Ringer volume
• Media volume (for music and videos)
• Phone ringtone
• Phone vibrate
• Notification ringtone [you can just select messaging tone here]
• Audible touch tones [Disabled]
• Audible selection [Disabled]
• Media audio effects [Disabled]
• Haptic feedback [Disabled]
• SD card notifications Notification [Disabled]
That's it. Where is system sound so I can disable boot-up sound?
I guess its Phone Ringtone!!!

I guess its Phone Ringtone, try to set it to zero and reboot. You can also try setting each option to check which one is for boot sound. Since I don't have Cliq I can't tell the exact one.
In my gts5570 setting system volume to zero disable all unnecessary sounds such as bootup and others (it eventaully boosts battery performance also.)
Phone ringtone selects the sound for the phone ring. It does not have a volume setting - only selection of which ringtone you wish to use.
Ringer Volume has a volume selection obviously but that turns off ringing or message sound notification - and I just want to turn off boot up sound.
None of the sounds on the listed options correspond to the boot up sound.
I am trying to locate the sound in the system so I can replace it with a muted file with the same name. Any ideas where to look on the Cliq?

First of all, you're right, unless you download a 3rd party volume managing app, you cannot adjust "system volume." And really, you don't want to set that to zero. If you do you will lose other sounds. The system volume manages every other volume setting on your Cliq. In other words, if you lower the system volume, the media volume will also be lowered. And perhaps this does not apply to all phones, but it definitely does with the Cliq. The best way to eliminate the sound at boot is to either remove the audio file from your /system/media (as you said), or to flash a different ROM.
As I said before CM7 is a great ROM for the Cliq. It has no sound at boot. After you flash and get the phone set up, it will feel like a brand new device. I don't know where the audio file is located for the stock 2.1 ROM, but seriously, check out simplyandroid.com and find the CM4Morrison 7 ROM thread, read thoroughly and flash away.
EDIT: I just did a quick search on boot audio file locations, and it appears it should be in /system/media/audio. Looks like every device/ROM is a bit different, but look for a file called something like, poweron.wav or boot.ogg or something to this effect. I can't check my device because I'm running a different ROM, but if you can locate the boot audio file, simply delete it or rename is .bak and then reboot.
Flashing is the next step. For now I just wanted to figure out how to change all the defaults. I am still looking for that audio file. It is definitely somewhere on the system... but where?
Also: simply renaming bootanimation.zip gets rid of the default Motorola and default Cell carrier animation and the Android logo changing colors instead is seen. Definitely a quick way to get rid of ugly animations.

Like I said, the audio file should be in /system/media/audio. And yes, renaming or deleting the bootanimation.zip should result in the default animation. But the Motorola splash screen should remain. That's strange that it's gone.
I know I've said it twice before, but CM7 is amazing. When I finally flashed it on my Cliq, my only complaint was - why did I wait so long? My Cliq was very problematic when I was running the stock 2.1 update - and even before that with 1.5. But now it's customized and optimized and it runs brilliantly for a first generation Android phone. Check out the link below when you're ready.

That's great that you found the file for the sound at boot up. I remember that now... since you essentially froze the onthehunt.ogg file it won't be available as a notification anywhere else. But that's probably okay with you. I remember wondering why the 2.1 update included that notification sound at boot. It seemed silly that they recycled an old notification sound. At any rate, glad you fixed it.
Copying it to SD card and using it as a custom sound under the same or a different name would make it available again I think. But I just want to say that I understand what you are saying about flashing, and how good it can be.
Do you drive image your phone and if so which program do you use to make a drive image of your phone for quick restoration.
I would like to figure that out so that I can flash whatever I want and test it - knowing I can reimage my phone in minutes back to the state it was in before experimenting.

Yes, I do make regular backups using ClockworkMod recovery version 2.5.1.2. There are newer versions but this particular one was recommended by "team rogue." It has worked flawlessly. That's the first thing I would suggest - download Rom Manager, and then from within Rom Manager you can flash ClockworkMod Recovery. As you probably know it is through CWM that you are able to create nandroid backup images, restore the backups, as well as flash new ROMs. Nandroid backups are my little safety nets. I backup often.
OK, so stick with ClockworkMod recovery version 2.5.1.2 and do not upgrade.
Any ideas why, is it because of Cliq or something else?
I can really only make an educated guess as to why... the Cliq is an older device. My current phone is much newer, but I'm not even running the most recent CWM on it. I believe Rom Manager will prompt you with a message that displays your device, then you'll click yes to confirm, then you'll flash CWM... if I remember correctly it detects the proper version for you.

Well thanks again.

Hope I got it right: Rom Manager > Scroll down to All ClockworkMod Recoveries > Select 2.5.1.2 > OK > to install ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 instead of the latest v5.x or higher.
You may need to mount the system with RW access or Run Fix Permissions under Rom Manager first then go to Backup Current Rom > Enter backup name then the system will automatically run the backup and save it to
SD card:\clockworkmod\backup

Sounds like you did it perfectly. I believe you only need to run Fix Permissions after you've flashed a new ROM. It should fix (or greatly reduce) any issues with FC's. But I have not had any problems with this myself.
It is now time for CyanogenMod 7 for Cliq as you suggested.
I am confused as to which one I should download fro the Cliq,

The Cliq is the Morrison... I'd start with the latest nightly. Remember to thoroughly wipe/factory reset to flash 'clean' the first time. If you continue to update the nightlies, you only need to wipe cache/dalvik cache each time you flash.
Also, there is a "superwipe" zip which can be found here:

This also includes detailed instructions on how to flash for the first time, as well as how to flash the updates.
