Is there a way to disable all boot sounds ? Putting my phone in silent mode doesn't help it still plays the transformers like sound which is way to loud when u have to do it in a public location imo.
Follow these steps:
1: Install root Explorer or ES file explorer etc.
2: Navigate to /system/media or /system/media/audio (cant remember which one)
3: Mount file system as R/W
4: Delete the bootsound.ogg or rename it to bootsound.ogg.old
5: Done !

yup, something like that. actually it was so easy as long we familiar with rootexplorer things. these for more accurately step:
> navigate to /system/media using rootexplorer (don't forget to mount system as R/W)
> delete "poweron.ogg" file or backup it (usually by renamed it to poweron.ogg.bak)
> done!
> or i'd like to suggest to customize it with your own sound file that already converted n renamed as poweron.ogg n replaced or backup the original sound file. recommended to set permission as same as the original (just copy by looking the original)
Hey, Thanks for this tip, Im going to do this after I flash Cyanogen 9
Or you just try the app called Silent Boot

First You Need
-Rooted Ace
-Root Explorer
Make sure your own sound is ogg file, otherwise you must convert it
then move your ogg file into sdcard
Open Root Explorer, go to /system/etc
if you found poweron.ogg, copy it into sdcard for backup
then go to your sdcard to move it /system/etc
just replace it
Reboot your phone and you can hear your new startup sound!
Enjoy
And for disable this poweron.ogg sound, just delete or move it for backup

You must mount the system in read/write mode. Press the r/w button at the top before pasting.
thanx!!
What if I'm using CM7? Why can't I change my boot animation sound?
how about file limitations?
How about SIZE limitations and duration? does it have any ?
*YOU guys can use your own MP3 file and convert using FormatFactory , it's the best tool !

For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Wildfire S, here is a quick tutorial. Remember that you do this at your own risk- I take no responsibility. It is fairly simple though.
1. Download your preferred bootanimation and place on the root of your sd card.
2. Rename to "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes of course)
3. use root explorer and navigate to /system/customize/resource
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and
5. Next navigate to your sdcard, and find the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded and renamed.
6. long press and choose copy
7. now navigate to the /system/customize/resource folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation
9. Change permission to RW,R,R and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
For boot sound replace this file:
android_audio.mp3
What's good, Androideers?
I was wondering.....
If you want to add a boot_audio.mp3 file for a bootanimation, where would you put the boot_audio.mp3 file?
I vaguely remember seeing a boot_audio.mp3 while browsing through the contents of a ROM.zip. I can't remember if I saw the file in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder, or the system/media/audio/notifications folder. I just know it was around there, somewhere.
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
To add audio when you boot,
1) convert and rename your file to "PowerOn.wav" and
2) place in /system/etc/
3) Set Permissions rw-r--r--
3) Reboot!
(You can also use "1_Power_On.ogg" in /system/etc)

can anyone please verify this method works. trying to set a boot audio file using aokp settings, but it states the must be placed in system/media folder. does this make a difference?
Here U come...
Do the Followin....
1.Download & then Unzip the Following Attachment (i-fone-soundz.zip) and you will see two files "Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg"
2.Transfer it to your SD card
3.Go to root explorer (Select option as R/W)
4.Go to the folder of the SD-CARD on where exactly, u hav copied the downloaded (i-fone-soundz) file
5.Select the 2 files of the folder ("Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg) and Copy the files
6.Now go back to the main folder of the Root explorer..
7.Select system>media>audio>ui
8.PASTE the copied files and it'll be asked, whether to replace the existing files
9.Click Yes and henz, the files will be replaced.
10.Now Long press(touch) the Lock.ogg file in the root explorer, then you'll get some options as shown in the screenshots attached below.
11.in that option "select permissions"
12.Then DO the settings as shown in screenshot attached
[Owner : tick Read and Write
Group : tick Read alone
Others : tick Read alone]
Click OK...
13.Perform the same step no.11 & 12 for Unlock.ogg file
14.Atlast Reboot our N7...
15.There u Go...Hurrraaaah...!!!!! :victory:
(If u have any doubts further, Kindly check the screenshots attached also for the i-fone'-sound.zip)
If u dont like these lockin & unlockin sounds of i-fone for our Nexus 7, then u could simply switch back to ur stock rom's sound (which i also hav attached beneath in the name "stock-soundz.zip")
U can keep ur own sounds or voices for the lock and unlocking sounds in .ogg format from this website http://media.io/
Jus upload ur mp3/amr or whatever audio format it may be.., jus convert to hi-resolution ogg file and rename it to lock.ogg and the alternative sound file as unlock.ogg and perform the above mentioned steps... :victory:
And one more important thing.., for the unlock and lock sounds to be heard, u need to go into settings>sounds> and check screen lock sounds.
:silly:
Hit THANX for this newbee.., if this really had helped You..!!!
I know it's a stupid question :silly:
but how to put boot/down animations on HTC One X with Jelly Bean ARHD v21.0 installed?
i just don't know the directory AND the steps to do it..
here's the bootanim i want to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737369
also, is it possible to use the same animation for downanim too?
please kindly help this little noob ._.
The bootanimation and downanimation path differs from ROM to rom.. so if it's a flashable zip, Make sure the path is set right! Usually it's under /system/media
If it's not a flashable zip, then mount the system as R/W and put the bootanimation.zip file in the respective path and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot!
If you ask ROM related things in the ROM thread, you will get a fast and accurate reply!
PS: There's a chance that you might not be able to boot into OS if something goes wrong, so it's better you make a nandroid backup before doing anything!

You need to be rooted... and use Root Explorer and navigate to that path... Rename the old bootanimation.zip to something else and follow the steps above...
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup! It's better to be safe than sorry
So i've installed Root Browser app from Google Play..
and i check around the internet to see tips for installing new boot animations
Found this:
"Installation using Root Explorer or any File Explorer:
* Change r/o to r/w (FileSystem as writable)
* Copy the boot & downanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource (or the directory where original files is)
* Change animation permisions to rw-,r--,r--
* Reboot and Enjoy"
i don't get how to change the file system to writable or to change animation permissions
is there someone that would like to explain to me how? thanks!

Open Root Explorer... Navigate to /system/media or whichever is your path for the bootanimation.zip
On the upper part of the screen your will this : Mounted as R/O... Just beside this there will be a button which says "Mount as R/W"..
Select that and then copy paste the new zip there...
To change permissions, press and hold the file in root exploer and click on change permissions and set the correct permission...
OH MEN ITS AWESOME!!1!
-Thanks-
Great! Enjoy the Bootanim!
