I had a question about boot animation sounds that I have been searching but have not really been able to find an answer to. I have read in forums for other devices that you can add a sound to the boot animation by adding audio_android.mp3 into the /system/media. I've grabbed a few boot audio files that I found on forums and tried to install them using that aforementioned method. Didn't work. So I put the .mp3 in /system/media/audio. Still didn't work.
I used flashable zips for CWM and this installed a shutdown audio file, but for some reason it didn't work for the bootup audio.
I've also tried using the Captivate SGS Tools app because it specifically says that if you install your audio file into the /sd/sgstools folder on your sd card and then tell the app to use that file, then you will have a working bootup sound. That didn't work either.
So I've read that the Galaxy S phones use Samsung's proprietary file system to create their boot anis. Independently installing the video on a capable kernel is easy enough. Getting the audio to work though has been tough for me, and I haven't seen a lot of info in forums about how to make this work. Any thoughts? Thank you.
PowerOn.wav in system/etc

Is PowerOn.wav the file I'm supposed to replace? like bootanimation.zip for video?
Yep,that should do it.

I found the file you were referring to, and played it using Adao file manager. It does actualliy play my custom sound that I installed using CWM flash. However, it doesn't play on bootup. Other ACS Syndicate Frozen Epic users can play a bootup animation sound right?
If I restore my ROM with CWM, will any changes I made to the /system be restored also? Or should I reinstall my ROM with Odin? Thank you for all your advice and help.
I think that Syndicate fully disabled boot sounds,but for some reason mine works and I'm using Frozen as a base... I don't know how to re-enable it,I don't know how they disabled it,so I would ask in that ROM thread.

Want your current ROM to SOUND like ICS, but aren't ready to load an early alpha build?
I've extracted the Media folder for just this purpose.

Google (ICS)
... INSTRUCTIONS ...
(o) Back Up your "/system/media" Folder
(o) Download Media Files
(o) Open your file manager (I recommend ES File Manager .. free from Market)
(o) Enable Root Exploration within your file manager
(o) Move the Media Files into "/system/media/" (Accept overwrite warning) - !!!This will replace your current system default sounds so BACK UP, as always!!!
(o)Reboot (Just for safety's sake - not always needed)
You now have the same sound profile as ICS!

Or alternatively put it on your SD card to /media/audio/ folder without touching system partition and no need to root.

Correct, but this will not change your UI sound profile (e.g. screen lock sound, unlock sound, camera shutter)

Look at post #3 in the link below, doesn't seem to hard just make sure you have a backup in case you mess up.

update: I tried to install the ics boot animation and everything went smooth.
I used Root Browser (file manager) clicked on the system folder then clicked on media folder and pasted bootanimation.zip in media folder. Restarted the phone and that was it. If you want the g2slim animation back, just delete the bootanimation.zip from the media folder.
I come from China,I can not be downloaded in this network disk，Can you give another link？ Thanks
I installed the bootanimation.zip using RootExplorer (free) and it works great. Took less than 2 mins to do everything. Now if only I could have a *good* ICS Slim ROM.

Note-- I didn't flash this zip, I extracted the contents and installed the ones that I wanted
The only thing that isn't working correctly for me is the photosphere
If I were to extract the updates that I want, would that be done on the tablet or do I hook up to my PC? I'm not sure how to do this. Do i just flash them once they are extracted or are they apk files and i just load them? Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

Actually I'm finding it is just easier to flash the zip. It works fine provided you have busybox installed. If there are apps you don't want to install, just delete the apk from the zip (yes they are apk files)
the reason I suggest this is because some of the apks have lib (.so) files associated with them (the gallery, for example, dosent work correctly without its libs)
Extra note the updater script in the zip will remove gallery, stock keyboard and deskclock.apk
I flashed the zip and now every time I try and go into settings of the clock or set a timer, I get a FC.

Which one did you install? Works perfectly for me
I used the one with the 'photosphere fix' (which still errors. Says something about no rear camera)

I ported a note 8.0 cm ROM to my n7105 which works great (by no means am I a developer just an android enthusiast) which is why I need help. I have flashed other mods like transparent settings and transparent calls plus heaps of other mods and I was wandering how I can pull the boot.img, system files and meta-inf folder so I can rezip it instead of saving the recovery image for using later. I tried the advanced back up in philz recovery clone ROM but that doesn't give the updater script in the meta-inf folder. I think its more of an update zip cause I did a full wipe and got a status 1 error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why you want to pull kernel? you have to use as .img only (though you can pull out as .img by Terminal emulator from play store)
for system use DSIXDA kitchen to make flashable zip.

I finally got around to setting up the kitchen and built the ROM unfortunately when I flashed I had a status bar with date and time and just a black screen. I'm thinking its a launcher issue?

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)
Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware

I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
