[Q] How do I change the "DROID" boot up noise to something else?

OTA froyo, rooted, s-off.
I know the location of the "droid" sound is at "/system/customize/resource/VZW_Droid.mp3", and I've got a file I want to replace it with, but astro file manger can't seem to do it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I've attached the sound I want to replace it with, in case any of you like it. It's the turret from portal.

just use root explorer to paste over the sound file in the resource folder.. i just tried it with the "i see you" turret sound.. worked but the timing is off..

rename the file to android_audio.mp3
do adb in recovery
adb push android_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource
you do the above from the directory on your pc where the android_mp3 file is stored..
if this does not work then try putting the boot animation zip file (file name renamed to bootanimation.zip) and android_audio.mp3 to /system/media folder

It tells me that I "Cannot paste here because the file system is read only".
EDIT:
Sorry, the way to fix it was obvious. just hit the r/w button at the top right.
And root explorer is amazing. It's worth the money!
And to make it sync up, you need a few seconds of silence at the beginning of the sound file. Check out the one I attached to see how much time it needs

[Q] Where can I find HTC Quietly Brilliant boot sound

Hi there.
Where can I find such boot sound for my DHD? Wanted to try them into those custom ROMs available. I try finding at Youtube but no luck.
Thanks.

The sound is included in the stock bootanimation.zip. You can find it in the Android Revolution HD thread in the second post. As far as I know, that is.

The bootanimation.zip is just the graphics. It is not the sound. The sound is android_audio.mp3

Thanks for the sound. xD

Hi, I know you have to place android_audio.mp3 in /data/local but I've tried that and have had no success in hearing the sound on boot up. Any ideas?

You should copy it to /system/customize/resource

[Q] Help with boot animation sound

I need help with getting the boot animation sound to work on Synergy non-GM. I renamed and placed the boot animation and sound in system/customize/resource. I got the boot animation to work well, but no boot sound. I renamed the boot sound to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and then to android_audio.mp3 but neither of these options has worked to get the sound. Am I doing something wrong? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Problem Solved
After much searching I solved the problem. The error was that the SPC_animation_final file had a .rar extension I couldn't open with any installed program on my computer. After an internet search I discovered and used WinRAR to convert this extension to .mp3 format. Using Root Explorer I then changed the permissions to rw-r-r and renamed the file to android_audio.mp3. Finally, I placed the mp3 file in the system/customize/resource folder and the problem was solved.

[tutorial] [change boot sound on Stock ROM to anything you want]

Hi guys,
I found a way to change the boot up sound that's played during the boot animation when you start your phone.
You can change it to anything you want
I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3
This works for Samsung ROMs. For other CUSTOM ROMs it may not work because they don't support the boot sound, or the sound must be placed in system/media and not in system/etc for example.
Here's how it's done:
1. Device must be rooted
2. Open a file explorer, I use Root Explorer.
Navigate to 'System' folder on root of internal SD card, then go to 'etc' folder and find a file called: PowerOn.ogg
i.e /System/etc/PowerOn.ogg
3.Rename the file to: 'PowerOn.ogg.Backup' (just so you have a back up of your original) (to restore simply delete the custom sound you made and then rename this back to PowerOn.ogg)
4.Find an appropriate .MP3 file you want as a start up sound and rename to PowerOn.ogg (notice the capitals at the start of Power and On)
(You may need to use a convertor to convert .MP3 to .ogg but I didn't, I simply renamed the .MP3 file
5.Once you have your new PowerOn.ogg file simply paste it into System/etc folder
6. Turn up volume, reboot phone and test it out!
Let me know how you got on
I used the PlayStation 2 start up sound for my phone and it sounds awesome!
Here's a link to Playstation 2 sound (already re-named and ready to go): https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxycdj1rjokufim/PowerOn.ogg
Have fun!
P.S If anyone else has any other cool sounds please share

Sweet! Will try it out soon

I did this on Stock Samsung LP7 ICS 4.0.3 but dont see why it wouldn't work on others
