[SOUNDS][UPDATED]New startup and shutdown sound theme[v2]

Hello, guys!
I was cooking my own rom when I decided to change startup and shutdown sounds of the default Galaxy S animations. I was pretty happy about the result that I wanted to share it with you!
v1
The startup theme I chose is from Ghost Trick. It's the sound you hear when turning "4 Minutes Before Death".
The shutdown theme is taken from openDesktop.org and is called "Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow".

v2
Since many of you didn't like the startup sound in v1, I chose a softer one. The new startup theme is the Techland logo.
The shutdown theme is taken from openDesktop.org and is called "Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow".

I'm not the owner of these sounds, I just edited them with Audacity to optimize the sound quality, volume and lenght.
I made two flashable zip files to use JUST with ClockWorkMod Recovery, one to install the theme (new_sounds_CWM.zip for v1 or new_sounds_v2_CWM.zip for v2) and one to revert the changes (default_sounds_CWM.zip).
This sound theme is meant to match only the default animations. If you're using a custom bootanimation, you won't hear the startup sound.
Please, use them at your own risk! These are my first flashable zips. Something could go wrong if you're unlucky so it's always good to have a nandroid backup, although I used a template as a base and tested both on my phone.
I really hope you enjoy it!

Works on captivate running cognition 4. You should post this in the captivate section I'm sure they would appreciate this as much as I do.

The shutdown sound is very nice, the boot sound... Less XD

Well, that wasn't meant to be a boot sound, but I like it!
P.S.: You may also change the PowerOn.wav from the zip with the one you want.

I'l give a try. Downloadig...
Thanks for it!

Ill link it for you today. Im on xda app 95% of the time.

would this work with darkys v9.3 b 3 ? mite give it try later to find out

It should work... It would probably work even if you have a custom bootanimation and you enabled bootanimation sounds from speedmod tweaks but probably it won't have the same feel if you don't have the original ones!

no start up sound here but i do have custum bootanimation on. but the new shut down sound works , not bad with the darky flashin .

It should not be supposed to work if you're using a custom bootanimation, but there's a tweak in the SpeedMod kernel to enable sounds for them, though I haven't tried it yet.

Sounds bad! I guess I can't do anything about it... Though you can try removing your bootanimation.zip and see if you like the default animations with new sounds.

Updated OP with v2: new startup sound.

Shutdown sound wont work on JVT:L

Is the Bravia engine any good? does it have any advantages? I'm curious but the UI never appealed to me xD

Ofc it has, it enhance your picture and video xD it good, your rom + v6 supercharger + plus this mod its a perfect match have u tried it?

It improves the pof your phoneicture quality and video quality of your phone

What does it do besides enhancing the picture and video? Btw, by flashing this wil it remove any data?

Is there already a way to undo this easily ? (Without flashing the whole firmware again)
I made a backup and will test the bravia engine soon. So if a backup of files is needed I could provide them.

Yeah..+1..need an easy undo..I've tested already..but not much improvement...oops..my bad..not want to say.but i will keep testing...is this same with rio's black notes rome that have bravia tweak too.?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App

Quality of the pictures is just same. :O need an undo to remove the mod. Thanks.
Sent from my Wonder Boy using xda premium

Hey there,
I have done some research. The picture or video itself won't change, it will only be portrayed different. So once the picture is on your PC it will look all same. And the pictures before and after will look on the Device same, too. You will only see the difference if you do a screen shot before and a screenshot after.
So this isn't the great upgrade like expected but also not useless, so no need to uninstall or undo.
I have not seen anywhere a undo option, other than the option with flashing.
greets
THE-E

now sorry i forgot to say this do a backup before flashing ehehe

A nandroid to backup and restore..,?just for that small tweaks.?urmm..can I say its a pretty boring-long-wait-restore-a-whole devices- method..can u provide a flashable .zip for stock file that this tweaks hve replace.?just my suggestions.. perhaps it makes other people easy to testing this tweak and undo thing easily neither to restore a nandroid..
That may make people recognize u as a easy-maker dude.!heh..provide and unprovide..modding and unmodding...haha..btw..nice...

Bro..
Give a try Black Notes Chapter 2 ROM, it has Bravia Engine for SG2 MOD
I moved it in developer section

i have tried adding this manually to my Galaxy W 2 weeks ago.
what is does is just increase the contrast of the photos and videos by 5% maybe at the most
photos and videos look sharper as a result - but on some shots be prepared to lose to some details due to the contrast being boosted artificially.
it is not something that intelligently analyses photos and videos before applying the contrast fix but just applies the effect to all - hence some photos and videos with very good contrast is going to look bad.
it might help much on normal LCD screens but i think the native contrast of the SuperLCD on Galaxy W is sufficient.
applying this 'fix' on phones with AMOLED / Super AMOLED / Super AMOLED Plus screens such as Galaxy S / Galaxy S II / Galaxy S Plus / Galaxy Note is an overkill.

thanx mate . Your job is Great .
As I said I think this is fun to mod ICS framework-res.apk to have smooth spinner and as i saw your Crafted theme I think you can do this .
it will be nice to make it for both odex and deodexed Roms of ics specially XXLPQ

nobody can do this ?

Hey, I am doing it. Just need to test it and then I ll upload.

Try this, it is a MetaMorph-Theme, google metamorph if you don t know how to use them.

thanks a lot for your work . i will google it know to know more about it

itried your smodspinners.zip and it works PREFECTLY on omega rom v5 xxlpq
thank you
but i suggest that you decrease the circling speed and make it a little thicker .
and i noticed it has a little lag .
looking forward to your next update
and a little more : i think making an independent CWM package is more easier and user friendly for apply and use your work . THANKS
please post your work progress here

Sorry but, when your phone is "thinking" very hard, the spinner may lag a bit. I can't do anything against that.

No, not for something this small. I will use MetaMorph, because it is ROM independent. So one zip for every Android 4.0 ROM.

make it thikker about 10% in progress small and medium . progress large is good by itself
and decrease the speed about 40% but with same soothness as its nowand let me test it .
thanks for your beautifull work

I installed it using metamorph on deodexed rom and have bootloop?

Rom 4.1 to be released in the Ark s?

Nope, not from SONY.
No one of the 2011 Xperias will get JellyBean.
You have to flash CyanogenMod10 (CM10) or other AOKP based ROM.
Look on the link in the first line in my signature, in this thread you find a lot of ROMs.

This ROM supports Bravia Thecnologie? If not, will them support in futere? It's possible?

Which ROM ? CM10? Don´t know, have not tested it.
But look in the threads of the ROMs, there you always find a Changelog, or can ask questions there.

Roms jb based. In changelog don't ever write about this

So then ask in the threads of the ROM you want to use

i tryed 50% of roms .but nothing found with this feature

So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.
Like HDMI....

HDMI can be replaced with DNLA server or antoher method. I put video in HDusb connected with router and i watch them on tv lcd 40" through router with server DLNA. There are more method for watch video in HD but Bravia engine is not replaceable on the smart.
So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.

It's available for all rom ics based but it's maybe not available for rom Jelly Bean based

Yep, that´s what i mean.
No original Sony JB, so no Bravia & HDMI on custom JB.
I really hope Sony will give the driversources to the XDA-Devs... would be great if they don´t want make a 4.1/4.2 stockROM. :fingers-crossed:
Well, DLNA is an option, and i also use it, but it´s cool to watch movies at a friend just using the miniHDMI/HDMI cable at a friend who has no network attached TV.

I agree with you though i don't think that Sony give their source, at least until they have updated their devices to jb

Yea, but i don´t think that they ever will do that for us Xperia2011 owner, even if the 2012 all have their JB.
Maybe they are afraid that the XDA-Devs do the better job than their programmers.... :laugh:
and there also will probably be copyright things with qualcomm and other companys.

[MOD][PORT] Sony BRAVIA Engine 3

UPDATED TO BRAVIA 3!​
Sony BRAVIA Engine 3 Ported To The Galaxy Note II​
ALL MODELS​
The Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 3 is a video enhancement program for Sony phones. It uses filters and algorithms to create a clearer and more contrasted picture and an overall smoother experience. This is perfect for the Note II's huge HD screen but can be a little to saturated for people like photographers who want to see how the photo looks exactly with out any enhancements. The change is not huge but is definitely noticeable if two devices are compared. This program is very light weight and works with all models of the Note II so far.
While the latest BRAVIA ENGINE 3 builds on tried and tested BRAVIA ENGINE technology, it does so with the advantage of a new picture processing software.
This new technology has allowed BRAVIA ENGINE to improve - even in respect to its own dazzling performance:
Contrast. Increased depth and clarity, as well as new light control technology to control peak brightness levels, means stunning images even on the brightest of scenes.
Colours. New colour histogram technology detects and optimises overall colour distribution of each frame. This technology delivers breathtaking colour by making millions of improvements to each frame before you even see it.
Detail. Advanced Noise Reduction lies behind BRAVIA’s ability to show you every blade of grass on a football pitch and really put you at the heart of the action.

CONFIRMED MODELS:
SGH-i317 (AT&T)
GT-N7100
GT-N7105
GT-i9000

INSTRUCTIONS:
Download Attatched Zip
Boot Into CWM/TWRP Recovery
Backup (Optional But Suggested)
Choose Downloaded Zip And Flash
Reboot
Done!
THANKS:
dmarino933 (TWRP confirm)
kevtrysmoddin (GT-i9000 confirm)
NOTE: It is hard to notice the difference after flashing but trust me if there are no errors during flash you should be good to go. Also try comparing it to another device and it should be pretty clear.

Edit: please ignore that .DS_store file within the zip. it is just a hidden file that is in every directory of the Mac OS (yes im a mac guy). Apparently it is just meant to help the OS remember the order of the files within a directory. It was left in there because, like i said, it's hidden so i didnt even think to remove it because I really didnt know it was there.

We included this in our rom "blackout" over a month a couple weeks ago..I found it in beginning of January and we decided to try it..To be honest with you I think it's more placebo effect then anything but that's my opinion. I tried several comparison taken pics without, and with it, put them on my computer and I can't tell a difference.
The real version actually has a screen to enable,and disable in phones that carry this by default.
