[SOLVED]How do I get rid of Sprint 4G sound and boot animation? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a full rooted EVO with Stock ROM. Is there a way to remove the sound during boot? I have seen some of the post on modifying boot animations but they are a bit too much. I would like something simply.
EDIT:
(Just stumbled on this one).
- Removing the Sprint apps(bloatware) using adb also got rid of the boot animation sound. Specifically, I think it may have been Sprint Promotion.apk.
- Someone else may need to try this in order to confirm.

Boot Animation Lite from the market. Its free.
Does require root access tho, i know you said you have it, but for others that dont have root, and see this.
While it doesnt just take the sound out of the Sprint startup, changing it to the Nexus start screen is cooler to show off anyway.
Requires no knowledge of how to change stuff, just screen size, which EVO is 480x800.

Thanks, looks like a cool app. I only want the Sprint sound out though. Anyone has a better idea?

You can delete the sound using adb. The file is /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
I hope that answers your question.

CM6 and Loading a Non CM6 Boot Animation

I love using the LCARS boot screen/audio. Whenever I flash it on cm6 it doesn't work. When I flash LCARS on other roms it goes through and works. Has anyone experienced this? I've searched other threads but they haven't addressed what I'm looking for, or I missed it. Thanks
I have the same issue with CM6.

Try this program. You'll need ADB to use it.

So I read through the whole post and was able to get the animation to work but no sound. So we could consider this partially closed I guess. As there is a solution for the animation but none for the sound.

I think I read somewhere that CM6 wasn't designed to use a boot sound.

Right, CM6 doesn't have sound in the boot animation, and custom scripts don't always work right. I asked Cyanogen about it, and he quite plainly said that he doesn't want his phone making sounds when he turns it on (and if you've ever gone through bootloops/diagnostics while at work or some place public, while still having the Sprint 4G boot animation+sound, you learn why).

(THINK TANK) (SOLVED!) Changing lock/unlock sounds in froyo

Anyone attempted to do it? There's no option to alter them in settings so I found where they are they are located in system/media/ui I tried deleting it through astro but I didn't have sufficient permissions -_- any suggestions? Id love to have my own little lock sound instead of that barely heard sound. And yes I got the idea from the ipod touch ability to do that when its jailbroken. If its possible on that I know it is on android

Yes, that option should be possible on a rooted device. I think once your rooted (which you are) that you find the file that contains the sounds and simply add your sound to the list. I think the only way to do so might be through usb. Plug in the phone via usb and drag the sound file onto your phone and it should work. I've never done this before, but I've read about it with past Android devices. Hopefully it will work for you. If it does or does not work please be kind to let me and others know.

I haven't seen any way where you can choose, but the unlock sound is found in /system/media/audio/ui/
idk if mp3's work, but I'm assuming replacing the Lock/Unlock ogg's with another one of the same name would work. It's easy to convert to ogg anyway.
I've always wanted to do this with some old school 8 bit sounds or even metal gear codecs but never got around the time to trying.

How do you convert it to ogg? And of course ill post if it works or not no problem. Ill try it through adb I guess since astro doesn't let me do it. Anyone else know a method besides adb and terminal that will let me get to root folders? I know droid explorer and all that but I'm 17 which means no credit card lol

An easy way is using a website like media.io
As far as I know, no root explorer apps work on our phone. I could be wrong.
Easiest way is going to clockwork recovery, mounting system and pushing.
I can confirm it works. I just have to lower the volume of my files because they're WAY too loud lol.

Ok sweet! Can you tell me exactly what you did?
Wait lemme take a guess
Adb pushed the lock sounds to the directory? Or pulled them first then pushed them?
Sent from My Rooted Htc Espresso
I just pushed, it overwrote the original. Don't need to backup if you still have the zip for the rom.
Just make sure when you're in clockwork recovery System is mounted so you can get in there through adb.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFAO6T6GNvk
Here's a vid to see it in action. Sound is still a bit too loud for me, going to edit the volume again to lower it. I want to sound cool but not obnoxious lol.
EDIT: Keep in mind your Unlock sound flickers on/off when you lock your screen with the desktop clock on.

Alright cool i guessed that. You think maybe we could tell Cyan what we found and he could make it an option in cm6? And you think it would work with a regular MP3? ill test if you like but man thats nice and loud. At the website what level of volume you put it? high,medium, low or what? and dude where do you get your sounds from? google is not working with me right now lol i could just use ringdroid and make an Mp3 then convert but ehh idk.

Couldn't hurt to ask Cyan. But if he's busy working on CM6 I don't wanna bother lol.
I put the highest bitrate on the converter website. Shouldn't matter anyway, the file is still going to be like 20 kbs unless you use a long ass sound. (Which I don't recommend lol)
Personally I use Acoustica MP3 audio mixer to edit my ringtones. I lowered the volume in there, then converted on the website.
As for where I get my sounds, I google lol. "Videogame title here" + sound effects or sounds.

[Q] [Question/Request] R2D2 Lock screen Only

Is there a possibility it can be made for the g2? Like, I don't want to root my phone YET, but i Would like to simply use the custom logos on the lock screen sliders (the imperial and rebel insignias).
If this is possible or has been done already, can someone lemme know where/which board? Again, I don't want to root yet if its possible to avoid it. Just want the custom slider images/logos.

Really? Im pretty sure you can. Considering im rooted right now. I have wifi tether app on my g2 and i overclocked from 800mhz to 1450mhz. It may not be permanent root (root disappears when you reboot phone) but its root nonetheless
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
if the root disappears when you reboot, Does that mean i have to redo it? (im sure thats a yes...)
and if it disappears, will the wifi tether continue to work on the G2 after it has been rebooted? Or should i just stick to PDAnet?
I just want the custom lockscreen/slider icons..

you would need a script that re-applied the logos each time the phone rebooted(possible with visionary set to run on boot, but will need to be written perfectly to work)
I wish there was a tutorial on how to develop apps for Android...I'd LOVE to learn...i have so many ideas...
And id love to learn how to apply those icons also...but apps first. Start small, ya kno?

retro screen off animation?

I don't know why nobody seem to care about this as I have searched for this question without any helpful results, maybe Galaxy S is simply too old?
So I was just wondering if it is possible to get a screen off animation like the retro CRT effect on the Nexus S. I think it makes the transition much more comfortable than simply turnning off.

I'm sorry but I can't see the point in this, what does it matter what's showing on the screen when you're turning the handset off?
I'm not knocking the fact that you want to have the animation, if I could help you out I would. I just think it's completely unnecessary XD

It's no more unnecessary than a boot animation or any other mod for that matter however in answer to your question such a mod is currently not available for the One X.

there r many guides which can help u to manually enable the CRT-animation.
u'll need adb and text editor to make changes to the framework-res.apk

CTOS Bootup Animation

Hello all!
I claim no fame to this bootup animation. It's a CTOS Bootup from the game WatchDogs. I got the main animation zip from This XDA page in the G3 Forums. All I did was convert it to .qmg format so I can use it on my Note 4. it works perfectly on my phone using DynamicKat ROM.
Extract the zip and place the two files into /system/media and change permissions to rw-r-r- .
EDIT:For those implementing the sounds, it goes into /system/media/audio/ui
As always I recommend changing the original files to *.qmg.bak (* is the like files you are copying over) in case the world explodes, your GF dumps you, or the phone simply doesn't like being touched.
P.S. I shouldn't have to remind you, but just in case... Warranty is voided, do at your own risk, etc etc.

If you go to the link I provided in the OP, can scroll down the list of his available stuff till you hit the CTOS one. That's what I have here, just in .QMG format instead of a bootanimation.zip.
Looks pretty cool. I like the others posted on the op too. Is it difficult converting them? Thanks for this.

It's not that difficult, but depending on the size of the bootupanimation.zip and number of images, it can take a while to convert. I followed this guide and did it in a few minutes. Warning though, if you are doing this yourself the limit to this program is 255 images. The samsung converter seems to auto adjust the bootup size to the images used. Be sure to follow the guide to a 'T' and you'll be fine.
If you want me to I can do a few conversions or help you with some steps. Just let me know.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out and I'll ask if I got any questions
Thanks works great on my side

That's a good idea, I've never been much for sounds with my bootup. I can look into how to make that happen though.

Wouldn't you know it, MAJOR blonde moment. That site I linked includes the bootup sounds. Updated OP with the zip to extract it and copy it over.
Lol ? thank u btw
Well, I'm having issues with the sound on bootup. I changed permissions and all, made sure the sound work while in the phone, and nothing during bootup. Could be the ROM I'm on. Using DynamicKat. I'm mostly deaf though so it might simply be a quiet sound. Lemme know what's up.

The original bootanimation.zip had 265 images, I had to delete a few in order to get the program to render the animation. It's limit is 255. That's why the sound is a little off for you. In the ROM I'm using, there was no PowerOn.ogg. had to look at another ROM to see where the bootup sound was located. It's where it should be but I hear no sounds. No big deal for me, glad it works for you though.
I c, my sound is on system-media-sound-ui hopefully that could help
Works great man. Liked this game and the boot animation is really cool
