Lol sorry if this is a noob answer but is your phone on silent? I think putting system volume high or one of the others will get the boot sound and off sound

I assume you ar on a custom rom so The startup sound I believe won't work at all, the ability to support bootanimation.zip somehow breaks it.
The shutdown sound is located in /system/media/audio/ui you can use adb, or the easier way would be to use a root file explorer, and drop it in manually it should be named shutdown.ogg( Make sure the system is in rw and not ro for either method). I personally use root explorer but it cost I couple dollars, astro file manager will do the trick for free I believe.

So Studacris I tried creating a new startup.wav and shutdown.ogg with no sucsess.

Like I said the startup won't work ... I just made a shutdown.ogg this morning for myself (jabba the hutt laughing) ... What exactly didn't work? You sure system was in r/w?

He wouldn't even be able to move it if it wasn't in r/w lolol.
My guess: he moved it at the wrong place?

had to zip it because i couldnt attach a raw ogg file. this is NOT cwm flashable!! extract and place manually.

well in root explorer there is a prompt about read only when pasting when in r/o, and also a prompt about overwriting an existing file in r/w if one was there, ive made the mistake of thinking the ro message was the overwrite...
but there shouldnt have been anything there to overwrite, its named shutdown.txt by default thats why it doesnt play ... maybe he just renamed an mp3 to shutdown.ogg without actually converting or maybe it was too long?

Well I indeed placed it in the correct place there was no start up or shutdown files (except a shutdown txt file) so no notification to write over exsisting file...... when I start up I hear air, so to speak, from the speaker bit no desired sound. Using root explore, all I really wanted was my ubuntu login sound and triple chrome shutdown, and special thanks to you studacris you always seem to help me out...

Brand New Super Mario Custom Boot Animation

Hey there everyone. I've been working on this for a couple of days (since I'm pretty much an idiot with anything beyond web surfing), but with the help of some forum members and various other how-to guides, I figured it out. I split it up into individual frames, picked out the ones I wanted, converted them to JPGs, renamed them, and rewrote the desc.txt file. I can write a more detailed how-to since most of the things online are more about how to change the animation than how to create one. Just ask, and I'll put it up later. It's a short clip from a Youtube video of the trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2. And without further ado:
*http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M5MP13JD
-Here is a mirror, since someone posted at androidforums that there was a tracer of some sort. I've no idea what that means, but thought I would offer another downloading solution so people could go that route if necessary.
http://rapidshare.com/files/395413639/bootanimation.zip
*Now down to a slim and trim fighting weight of 1.68MB. Just a bit better than my original file with super huge PNGs that was 21.1MB. heh
Feel free to use it as you wish. Just say thanks or something. Enjoy!
Now with more preview!

PS. Mine runs and looks better, but at least this will give you an idea before you download.
If you ever need help let me know. Even if I am a Hero user. I am a Photoshop professional and have made many boot screens. Downloading yours now.

Appreciate that good sir. I'd love to learn photoshop sometime but to the uninitiated, it seems very daunting. I do have GIMP, but haven't really messed with it too often besides resizing some wallpapers. I enjoyed learning how to do this though, and feel that each new thing I figure out, the more inclined I am to try something else. Anyway, let me know what you think of it...
Hey nice looking boot. I downloaded the file to the sd card of my eris and tried to flash it but it wouldnt load it aborted. Am I missing something here on how to install. Thanks
Thanks man! If you are rooted then it is super easy. Just install to SD card, then use something like Root Explorer(I think Astro should be able to do this too) to move it into the data/local folder. Also, you can put it into the system/media folder. I haven't found any difference on how it runs whichever way you want to go. If you aren't rooted yet (what are you waiting for?? lol j/k) then you have to download SDK and push it into the data/local folder since you won't have access to the system/media one. There are a couple of tutorials floating around to give you some better direction or if you are still having trouble, then PM me and I'll see if I can't direct you better so we don't fill up the regular post.
Looks pretty good, probably good thing ya got filesize down .

Thanks Magnum. It took me awhile to figure out how to shrink the original PNGs I made from 21.1 to 10.2MB, and then another forum member showed me that I could use JPGs and then it went from 10.2 to the current 1.68. Very happy with the results. Getting some help with including the audio, then it'll really be sweet.
I tried moving this into system/media folder where my other boot animation is but I got permissions not allowed. Ive got read only permissions on my bootanimation using taintedvanilla. Any suggestions?

I'm not overly familiar with that Rom, but I would suggest using Root Explorer. It's an awesome app. I don't have any issues changing to Read/Write with it. I just mount the zip on the SD card then long press, choose move and paste it into the appropriate folder. I found it worked best for me to delete the first boot animation instead of just replacing it (results may vary). If you don't want to go that route then you might want to use SDK and push it into the data/local folder. I know that either folder will work for the boot, but not sure which folder it reads first so can't be certain this will be the answer if you can't delete the other boot animation that is already installed. Let me know if this works for you...
this is awesome thanks bunches
You're very welcome. I have a Mario boot screen picture too that kind of goes with the animation. PM if you're interested. If so, let me know if you need help installing it. There is a guide and it's pretty easy, but just in case.

It's still allowing read only permissions. I adb pushed the bootanimation.zip into both system/media and data/local but it still boots with the old animation. Oh well I guess...

You might want to try this (if you havn't already) to fix the read only permissions...
Code:
adb remount
then...
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I've done that, I'll just have to play with it more when I have time. Does adb push overwrite the existing file on the phone if the are named the same?

Pretty sure it does, if your getting somthing like permission denied read only after trying to push, it probably isn't going through. Wouldn't think you'd get the read only pushing to data/local though.

I wouldn't flash any of them. Make sure you only have the bootanimation.zip portion, and drop it in your system/media folder, replacing the existing one with it. I have a folder on my SDCard to store them by name, so I can copy and rename when I want.
How do you change the bootup sound? I went to data/local and didn't see anything there...what folder do you have to drop the mp3 in?

Find a wav file you see fitting for your bootup sound. Download it to your SD card. Rename the file "PowerOn.wav" (this can also be done in the next step). Use Root Explorer or what have you to copy it from your SD card and paste it into system\etc. Reboot and enjoy.

You can also replace the shutdown sound with an ogg file of your choice. Make sure it is named shutdown.ogg and place it in the system/media/audio/ui folder. I have replaced both my startup and shutdown sounds with the "Droid" sound.
how do I do this on my fascinate? I took the bootanimation.zip and dropped it in the folder, but it won't do anything? Do i need to delete the verizon one or samsung ones?

You need to either delete them, or tack .old on the end of them, so that there is only one file named bootanimation.zip in you system/media folder.

Does anybody know if it's at all possible to extend the amount of time the boot up sound can play? The boot animation I have works great with this drumloop I have behind it, but it gets cut off at about 8-10 seconds.

Cognition 3 Boot Sound Question

Searched through almost every thread relating to this post and found absolutely nothing. I just flashed Cog 3.0.2 and it works like a dream. The only issue is I am trying to now change the boot sound to a file of my choosing. Default has no sound file. I have looked in these place so far with no luck:
system/media
system/etc
There is no poweron.wav file anywhere and adding one i created myself did nothing.
Any sure fire ways to do this? Id really appreciate some help

sgs tools here has an easy way to set the boot or shutdown sound
Boot and shutdown sounds as well as qmg animations have been disabled in custom ROMs AFAIK. If you really need it bad, the official factory ROM will work.
I appreciate you being the only persn to respond but that is actually false. I dont have,any qmg files to mess w. I have already made a working boot ani and its zip. Not qrm. Plus alot of roms use .wav files for boot sounds....

You should have no problems inserting a poweron.wav into system/etc and have it execute upon boot up. I have created my own start up and shutdown both with and without voice and they work fine. Just make sure it is in the correct format.
Oh heck, I must have tried the wrong places. Cool! Was thinking it's /system/media/audio/ui or /system/media/audio

You need to take the bootanimation.zip and replace the one in data/system using a file browser that allows r/w permissions.

i broke down and bought root explorer and did what they said. there is a toggle in root explorer that does R/O and R/W and if you long press a file (like .zip or .apk) permissions will be in the sub menu select it (permissions isn't in the free version) there is a 3x3 grid of check boxes and most of them are selected, select them all. then long press the item and select move.
the boot zip goes to system/media paste it asks if you're sure say yes, if it says it's read only toggle that little button on the right hand corner to r/w and try paste again.
to change the MMS to black and bubbless (iphone esh) same thing only paste it in the system/apps and paste
reboot, look at your new splash screen and minimal MMS
i tried the free stuff but having to toggle between two apps was a pain and I've been using root explorer for installing transparent .apk and moving files around so it's paid for it's self. Even though i tried to buy it / refund it after i was done with it.

Where did you obtain the files to work on the boot up screen? How well is yours still working? (This next one is a bum questuon) any chance of providing your end product? I'm curious to what this boot screen looks like and couldn't find anything on the article about it.

Do you have to be running a modded kernel or something to get this working? I looked in /data/system and /system/media and don't have a bootanimation.zip to overwrite. I am stock rom and kernel with root.

Silent camera shutter. Its still not silent??

Hi guys!
First off sorry for making a new thread about this. I read 3 or 4 on the subject but Im still having no luck.
I dont want to have to mute the volume everytime I want to take a photo
so I prefer changing it in the system.
My model is a Korean Note so that "could" be why I cant diable the shutter sound.
My phone is rooted and in Astro file manager, I went into the appropriate location and added the extension .off, .bak, .backup I tried all three when I tredi to rename the Shutter_01.ogg, and it still doesnt work
Any ideas? Thanks!!!
Try renaming the "ui" directory. If that works, then you'll know it's one of the other OGG files in there. Then if that works, look for something camera-related. I think different ROMs use different sound files.

Which file explorer are you using? Even though your Note is rooted, the file explorer you use still has to run as root (e.g. Root Explorer).
I think in my ui directory, I have a few sound files beginning with "camera". You could try renaming those one at a time (if you have them).
delete Shutter_01.ogg at system/media/audio/ui
edit: sorry didnt read all your post and if u deleted that file it shouldnt give any sound while taking photo,strange :/
