No boot sounds Cy4noobsMod

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

How do I get the CRT sleep animation?

I am at lost on how to put the crt tv animation for when i turn my phone off into sleep mode

Flash the file in this thread with CWM.
If you don't have cwm or want to do it manually extract the libsurfaceflinger.so from the zip (its in the system/lib folder).
Using a root explorer, copy this file to system on your phone, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move this file to system/lib, replacing the original file when asked. It may be a good idea to copy the original file as a backup before trying any of this.

i did this to my r800x which is 2.3.3, and its in a boot loop now. Is there a different version for 2.3.3? Or should that one work for every version?

I'm not sure, but i think it may not work on lower than 2.3.4. Also no idea about r800x support. Try posting on that thread itself, you may get more replies than here.

Can someone please upload a stock libsurfaceflinger.so file from their 2.3.3 phone?

[MOD] No Increasing Ringtone + HOW to ! - At&t S3

Hey guys !
I made a quick NoIncRing MOD, I figured while i was at it i would explain how to create the MOD.
I would like to Thank criskelo for his ZIP :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700174
I don't own an S3 but i did have the mod checked by an owner (works), i don't know what rom's it will work on so make a backup (as i said in the instructions).
How to Flash :
1. make sure you phone has a CWM recovery
2. backup SecPhone.apk and Secphone.odex (for odex rom's)
3. download the zip and place it in your internal SD
4. flash using, install zip from sd - choose zip from sd card
Download :
http://www.mediafire.com/?l8hox702d2t3m9y - Fixed
*the fix replaces SecPhone.apk with SecPhone_ATT.apk and erases the correct odex file.
I'll be happy to make Mod's for Any ROM you want. Simply attach the SecPhone.apk application from System/app
HOW TO ?
1. extract Secphone.apk from your phone/rom - system/app
2. download baksmali.jar and smali.jar from : http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk
4. Put the classes.dex in to a folder alon with smali.jar and backsmali.jar then open a COMMAND window and navigate to the folder.
5. enter the following command :
java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar -a 15 classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. You will now have an OUT folder, inside find : Ringer$1.smali
7. Look for 2 lines containing :
setstreamvolume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Erase them (one is at the middle and one at the end)
9. now go back to your folder with classes.dex, OUT folder and smali.jar and erase classes.dex (VERY IMPORTANT !!)
10. In the command window enter :
java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar out -a 15 -o classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. Now you will have a new classes.dex , drag it back in to your SecPhone.apk and in to my ZIP.
12. Flash and enjoy

Finally able to get rid of the increasing ringtone. Great mod!

3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk
I don't see "classes.dex" when extracting SecPhone.apk. Something i'm missing?
I also attached my apk in case you can help me shortcut this a bit
Thanks
Or...do I just flash the zip via CWM and the rest of the instructions are just how to create the mod?

There is a little difference in ATT, I think this should be mentioned in OP. In AT&T ROM, phone application
is in /system/app, but the name is a little different: SecPhone_ATT.apk.
So both files SecPhone_ATT.apk and SecPhone_ATT.odex should be backed up before replacing from the zip file.
After zip file is written from CWM, just go in /system/app, mount it in RW mode, using Root explorer, and do the following:
rename SecPhone_ATT.apk to SecPhone_ATT.save
rename SecPhone_ATT.odex to SecPhone_ATT.odex.save
rename new file (created by the zip you just wrote) SecPhone.apk to SecPhone_ATT.apk
Reboot
I just did - it works, thanks for non-increasing ringtone that was driving me crazy. I want my neighbours in the office to start enjoying my mostly annoying ringtone immediately when somebody calls me

Thanks got it working, I never found an odex file the first time I did it, after your post I went back to the dir and all i had was Secphone_ATT.apk and Secphone.apk so i renamed the Secphone_ATT.apk to .save and it works.

Not sure if it's a weird coincidence or what, but I did exactly this ^ and upon reboot, AudioGuru stopped allowing me to change my audio profiles (Normal, Work, Sleep, etc.) As soon as I restored the original SecPhone_ATT.apk and .odex then rebooted, AudioGuru started working again.

You guys are right !
I didn't know its SecPhone_ATT.apk
Ill change the main download !

Mod for U.S. Cellular SecPhone.apk
Hey yoelsd,
Thank you for offering this! Can you please mod my SecPhone.apk? This is for the S3 stock rom on U.S. Cellular. Many thanks!!!

since mines is a Bell S3 and OP is MIA i just extracted SecPhone_ATT.apk from OP zip file and renamed to SecPhone.apk then used root explorer deleted SecPhone.odex and overwrite and restarted and its working perfectly.
I have hated the increase ringing since the SGS (i9000), Sammy should make that an option.
Hope this helps all my non AT&T S3 buddies.

edit, nm, got my versions mixed up

Any idea if this will work on the new AT&T JellyBean that was just released? Or would we have to rebuild it using the files on our phone? Would your steps still work on JB?

I've been using the following app to disable increasing ringtones and it seems to work ok:

[Q] How to put new bootanim or/and downanim?

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!

How to edit an xml file in the system\etc folder?

Hi,
I am trying to edit the "mixer_path" file in the system/etc folder in order to solve the problem with the noise in the headphone jack.
The phone is rooted and running CM12.1 and when I try to save the file after editing, it says it can't save the file. Even if I copy the file to another folder and try editing it there (with ES editor)
What should I do? (the permission were set to -rw-r-r- or 644.
Thanks in advance!

Push file to PC and edit it there?

Well, now I've edited the file accordingly but the phone won't play any track, or any sound at all, for that matter. Doesn't ring etc'... S:
Have any idea why?

So I installed CM12.1 again to fix the problem, but now when I copied the file from system\etc to somewhere on the sdcard, I can't see it when I open the folder on the computer. How come?
