Okay. I"m using the boot animation that has the little droid that waves and while he waves, you hear an R2D2 like sound on each wave and then the robotic "Droid." Only thing is, I switched ROMs to try our Fresh ROM.
So, after I noticed that the boot animation was in a different place (/system/audio) and the audio file was named different (android_audio.mp3), I moved the android boot animation there and renamed it's audio accordingly.
So now the droid animation boots properly. Only thing is the sound is a bit off sync and you don't hear the first R2D2 like beeps until the second wave is nearly over.
It would be easy enough for me to pull the mp3 into a sound editor and remove about 1-2 seconds of silence from the beginning to get it to where it runs in sync with the animation. But, before I bother, is there some script file I can tweak that impacts the timing of the boot up animation? This would be handy to know because even though it only takes a minute or 2 to edit the audio, it's even quicker to edit a config file if one exists.
Does anyone have an answer?
Hey there,
I got here by searching for the solution to a similar problem on my Motorola Razr (retail GSM, EU) with Android 4.0.4. Perhaps this solution to my problem works for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28726345#post28726345
The files and folders may have other names as you already stated above. Perhaps your problem is not this one. But perhaps it my work, since you also use a Droid-animation...
Good luck!

Since upgrading to a Froyo based ROM, I noticed that my DINC no longer responds with an audible alert, when shutting down. It does issue a vibration. My memory, tells me it did sound a notification when powering down under the stock v2.1 ROM. I searched all the setup and settings menus, but cannot find anything that controls such an alert, when shutting down. I do have a fully functioning bootanimation and startup mp3 of my own. I am happy with startup animation and sound. I also remember, under the HTC stock ROM v2.1, that whenever the USB cable was either attached or disconnected, that I also received an audible alert, or notification. Now, the phone is silent when I connect or disconnect the USB cable. Is there an app or widget or system file that controls this alert. Note, I did check-off the box for Sounds/Notifications/SD card in the settings menu. It makes no difference.
To update my research, I created a Google search on "Froyo shutdown sound". There were many hits across the Froyo/Droid spectrum. Apparently, the Froyo users believe that the Froyo update has removed the notifications that were generated during USB cable activity and during phone shutdown. Many people seemed to be very glad that these "annoying" notifications were removed. Others, like me, missed hearing when the phone randomly booted while tucked neatly away in a pocket or on a counter top. I am glad that I still had the opportunity to use my own power on mp3 notification. I wish I also had the opportunity to exercise choice for these other two items, as well, oh well. Mostly, I regret having had to spend about three (3) hours doing internet search, upon search, to figure out if I was suffering from some self inflicted anomaly. It might have been nice to know, in fact, that there was an official Froyo change log that I could have consulted. All I have is conjecture and nothing is sourced to official material. Sorry for the rant.
Having a really annoying issue with my Xperia Play, running the stock firmware, Verizon plan.
I have a LOT of ringtones (in .wav format, mostly, some MP3's I think) in my ringtone and notification folders on the micro SD card, and I assign a bunch of different ones to family members and friends. The issue is, that sometimes the phone will mix up the ringtones for certain people, and other times won't play a ringtone AT ALL!
I would have an alarm clock ringtone set for the same song for a week and then suddenly it would play an MP3 from my songs folder instead of the ringtone I specifically have in my notifications folder. Um, what?!
I noticed that this usually occurs after unplugging my Xperia Play from my PC's USB port. My mom's ringtone will suddenly be my dad's ringtone, and other ringtones get messed up too. Usually turning the device off and/or taking out the battery solves the issue, but I shouldn't have to do this every time. So, what's the deal here?

Thats cause when you connect to the PC, your SD card gets unmounted so android changes the ringtones as the ones set arnt availible
Convert all your ringtones to .ogg format
and copy them to the coresponding folders in /system/media/
problem solved
you need to be rooted to do that though
I'm not rooted :/ Is that complicated? Any caveats?
Rooting is relatively simple. There are multiple threads with full instructions. Do a search.

Apparently Verizon Xperia Plays aren't rootable yet. Is there seriously any other way to fix this? Why would this bug not be fixed?

I thought our friends here at XDA cracked the bootloader for the verizon version? An unlocked bootloader gives you the ability to root.

Verizon bootloader was cracked a couple of weeks ago
I'm rooted on verizon and did the .ogg thing and I still have the same issue. I think is just that verizon jacked up this phone bad

did you reboot? tones wont appear till after a reboot
Still the same problem after rooting? That's ridiculous. Can't Sony Ericsson simply release a firmware update to fix the issue?
I'm experiencing other annoyances with my phone: sometimes an app shortcut will disappear from my screen, and trying to put it back there causes it to disappear. Eventually all the icons I attempted to put in that specific empty spot would be found piled into a folder. How silly! And my live wallpaper likes to reset to default when I reboot my phone. Ridiculous.
Is this an Xperia Play problem or an Android problem? I dig the phone but these glitches are really killing my time with it.
I can pretty consistently flash new boot animations with CWM. The context of the zip was pretty easy to get a handle on. That being said, I've run into a problem with certain sounds being used as the boot sound.
I've renamed them with the appropriate PowerOn.wav name, but some work and some don't.
The ones that don't, show an odd behavior. The boot animation plays fine, the sound that I've selected plays normally, but then the looping part of the boot animation just loops indefinitely.
The phone itself has actually finished booting, since I can unlock it, and can navigate blindly, hearing the appropriate noises. I can power it off by guessing where the buttons are onscreen, but I can't see anything aside from the boot animation.
Changing the power on sound file fixes the problem, but doesn't give me the sound I would like to have for my boot.
The length of the file doesn't seem to matter, some shorter ones work, some longer ones work.
I'm wondering if possibly the encoding of the files may matter, but I can't seem to figure out a difference between what works and what doesn't...
Thoughts?
Mods, please feel free to move this to either General QA or themes, if one of those would be more appropriate.
No takers?
I can post some example sound files, if anyone thinks it would help...
I'm not sure what you tell you, man. I don't flash my boot animations. I simply add .bak to the end of the current bootanimation.zip file and replace it with one I found and liked. As for the sounds, I did the .bak on the current one and then replaced the .wav with an mp3 I found for a boot sound. I don't know what either one are encoded in. They simply worked.
Well, I get the same problem when I manually replace them as you do.
As far as I can tell, the problem is pretty much exclusively due to the sound files.
Hey there, long time lurker first time posting,
Just a quick question to see if any of you guys know where to find something.
Recently installed the BeanStalk 4.4 ROM onto my N7105 LTE. All is fine and dandy except when connecting/disconnecting a USB cable, I get this really annoying sound that loops over and over until I drag down the notification bar.
I've checked literally every sound option and for the fun of it checked all the others too - can I find it? Nope.
I had a quick search on here and found someone experiencing a similar issue on an S3 with a solution to navigate to system/media/audio/ui/ and delete/rename Charger_Connection.ogg
This file doesn't appear in that folder on my Note, I had a look at all the other file names contained in there and tried renaming the dock sounds and wireless charging (long shot, I know) but they still don't work.
Now to the question; how do you stop this sound? I don't mind having to dive into the file system to change/delete a file. I'm hoping I've just been a little bit of a silly and missed a setting somewhere
Hi,
just installed Maximus 3 rom for my M8 dual sim and noticed that the usb connected sound is the camera click
and its REALLY LOUD
i just know that is going to cause problems in the office if i have to charge it. its embarrassing now just sitting at home...
does anyone know where the settings are for the usb connect/disconnect sounds?
thanks.
hmm, nobody?
any apps out there to change the sound then?
otherwise i will have to remove the camera click sound from audio
Use a root explorer like ES File Explorer, go to system/media/audio/ui and see if there is a file that matches with the "unwanted" USB connection sound. If you find it, rename it (such as adding .bak to the end), and see if that helps.
I'm not on Maximum, and not sure if that is where the particular sound is stored. But its worth a try, anyway.
hmm, i was hoping for something a bit more scientific
renamed /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg and at least its stopped people looking round when i plug the phone in
thanks anyway...

Interesting, I haven't messed around with a huge number of custom ROMs, but I've never used one that played a sound when connecting USB.
I was thinking (hoping) there was a sound file more specific to the USB connection; as I assume that renaming the camera click also disables the actual camera shutter sound when taking photos in the stock camera app. Not ideal I suppose; but on the other hand the camera shutter noise isn't really all that necessary.
There must be something in the ROM that points to that sound file when connecting to USB. But I can't think of what, or how to change it.
what i have noticed in the past (previous HD2) is that my Alarm Clock Plus will sometimes lose the alarm settings. i think its when i change the alarm tone and happen to pick a sound file on the sd card.
(i usually would have the sound file on the external card first before copying it to the phone)
if i remove the card the alarm will not work even if i have the same named file on the phone, it will show a number instead of the alarm sound and not play.
maybe its similar and somehow the usb connection is linked to the file but not by name.
this is annoying me now, not knowing how to solve what should be a simple problem
EDIT: ok, so found this on modaco:
Adjustment : build.prop ........... find local\system
Add: new line under #Additional: persist.adb.notify=0
To edit build.prop, you need to be rooted .
which i havnt tried yet but i am sure it would work.
i dont want to actually disable the sound, just change it to something that isnt camera_click...
Bumping my own thread, but it happened again. the sound went away before when the camera 'click' file was deleted.
Now the usb disconnect sound changed to 'Mum' which is nice enough but goes on really long.
Once again, its gone away by deleting that file. Which is not ideal.
Anyone have any better solution? I have heard different sounds on custom roms before on my old HD2 so the file name or link must be in a data file somewhere?
I still don't know what caused it to happen again anyway.
