Disable boot sound

The phone was too loud when booting up (too loud to reboot when in school ) so I created an update.zip which disables the sounds at boot time - when the little android pops-up and later at the HTC logo (boot sound).
You should be able to install these whit the cyanogen's recovery image (copy the file to the /sdcard as update.zip, boot the recovery image, apply update.zip and you are done).
* file disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip disables the boot sounds
* file enable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip reverts it to the stock (re-enables)
The process is done by replacing the /system/media/boot_animation.xml so if you have any custom boot animations/sounds this will possibly override/discard them. You have been warned
If anyone would contribute a new (better/different) boot sound, I can package it into an update.
WARNING: To disable boot sounds on a MoDaCo custom ROM versions 1.2-2.0 use the 1.5.1_bootscreens* files
To disable boot sounds on the 1.79.482.3 firmware or prior please use the disable_boot_sound_update-signed.zip.
Enjoy

Changelog
1.1
MoDaCo custom ROM ver. 1.2-1.5.1 support
1.0
Initial release

Nice... Maybe you can also change it to get and install bootsounds from the SD card? If no sound exist there, then it will be quiet..
If these files exist in /sdcard, use them:
/sdcard/popup.wav
/sdcard/htclogo.wav

Hmmm... must check how to do that with the update script... I know it could be done by a bash/shell script within the system (booted up/no recovery)...
It's actually only one file (boot.mp3) and there are also .gif files for screen animation.

Thnx for this i was so annoying to start the phone in quite places.

very good! it works! thanks dude!

No problem. I am also planing to do it also for the 1.2-1.5 MoDaCo ROM and later for the 2.x branch update.

Sweet! You made my day! I've been trying to solve this and here's the solution. Thx!

I made this change for some weeks ago on my HTC Hero too, but what I made was to split the MP3 file and only keep the Android "blip" sounds when starting up, but removing the LOAD HTC sound. I love my change, it's great
If anyone wants it I've now attached it.

Hi there,
Im using the Sprint CDMA Hero and just put the newly released 'Fresh' Rom on it.
Is there any way you could either make a flash/zip file to disable its sounds or explain how I can create one?
Really appreciate it.

..if you have a non-Rooted phone then it is a no as far as I can remember.
..if you want to get rid of those carrier logo, startup and shutdown screen.. then upgrade your firmware.
.. i have the original I9000 and updated the firmware to JG1 a few weeks back to remove the singtel carrier logo.. now, I can enjoy the full Galaxy S logo animation during startup and shutdown.

i would be interested into changing the galaxy S boot animation with a custom boot like the android robot pissing on the apple logo

so does someone succed in installing some less apple friendly logo

Using the samsung ROMs the only replacement you can get for boot animations are boot animations from other samsung androids that use the same *.QMG files to store the animation. These are QMAGE files, its a compressed file with all the image frames stored inside it.
We have to wait for a hacked kernel so we can use bootanimation.zip files like every other android phone.

I too would like to my boot animation. But for now all i can change is the shutdown

What the heck... a year thread rescue.

Just root your phone and follow the steps below
1. get your desired bootanimation (i cant point you to specific threads but here's my favorite )
2.once you get your desired bootanimation, place it on the root of your sdcard, (internal sd card not external)
its actually easy to replace your bootanimation once you learn how to install adb tool (i had this even before i owned an android phone coz its part of the android sdk)
3. all you have to do is type adb shell in command line
and these commands:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox cp mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip system/media/
reboot
you're phone should reboot and you can see the changes immediately

[BOOTANIMATION] CyanogenMod 7 Boot Animation.

Hi everybody!
Just posting the new CyanogenMod 7 Boot Animation, no credit whatsoever, all credit must go to the guy who made it, 73v1n in Youtube.
Link to Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYXiKWwp0DQ
How to install:
1.- Download .zip attached. (bootanimation.zip)
2.- Place the .zip file in /data/local or /system/media
3.- Reboot your phone and watch the new cool CM7 Boot Animation!
I insist that I have NOT made the boot animation, it's someone else work, I am just posting it here
Have a nice day!

Quick and Easy Bootanimation.zip Swap for the G2

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Nice...definitely makes switching them pretty simple. Thanks!

Works like a charm!!!!
Thanks Much!!!

There are a few apps on the Market that can do this as well, no Terminal knowledge required (or scripts)
Simply search for your bootanimation from the GUI and it should do the job for you...
Boot Animation Changer Lite comes to mind, it's free.
There are a few other ones if you search for bootanimation on the Market.
Hope this helps. Good luck

perfect, worked like a charm, enjoying my honeycomb animation now. thank you.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Waving Samsung-Droids

Hi there,
I created a bootanimation for myself, specially for the Galaxy SII, and I'd like to share it with you. I mixed "The Waving Droids" with Samasungs Boot logo.
What you need:
-Rooted SGS2
-Bootanimation compatible Kernel
How to:
1.Copy bootanimation.zip to sd card. (Do NOT rename)
2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/ or /data/local .
Tested to work with "CF-Root v4"
Have Fun!
How to uninstall:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/media
3. Delete bootanimation.zip
4. At next reboot the S-Samsung Logo will be back.
If you had a backup (bootanimation.zip.bak o.e.) of the previous animation, rename backup to bootanimation.zip and replace it.

Lol! LOVE IT!!!!!

This seems pretty cool! Keep up the good work! However if i wat to go back the way I was (Without the droid), what do i need to do? Sorry for the dumb question

I presume rename the original file to *****.bkp and then copy new animation over.

edit.............

I added instuctions on how to uninstall.
Has anyone an idea of another bootanimation that has to be mixed?

2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/

You need to be rooted. If you are, press the button "Mount R/W" at the Top and retry.
(When using Root Explorer)

Thank you janis Keep up the good work!
