AT&T Start Up Sound - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone know how to get rid of the start up sound? I look in the bin files but not sure the name of file. Or I'm just not looking in the right place.
Help?

Using a root explorer System>media>audio>ui delete or rename "PowerOn.ogg"

Thank you! The sound has been driving me crazy. I should've known there was an easy way to get rid of it.

Sweet! Thank you!

Is it fine to just delete the file - does it result in any errors? Would it be better to replace it with an empty dummy .mp3 file instead or doesn't matter? Thanks

Easiest thing to do is just rename it, adding a .bak to the end of it. Still there if you want to use it later, but not used right now

An easy and free way to stop OS OTA updates?

Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Thanks for the great info you guys.
Is there a free explorer app which will give access to the system/app folder? Or is Root Explorer the only option?
Thanks.
ES File explorer will, just enable root explorer in settings.
When I try to delete the apk and odex through es file explorer it always fails. Anyway to get around this? I'm a n00b.

Make fure you enable root explorer in es explorer settings and make system writable (also in settings).

[Q] .enref file?

Hi, I recently noticed a .enref file that is 7kb big on the root of my sd card. I just flashed a rom to my EVO 4G as well, Digital Karma V8 Reincarnation. I formatted my sd card before installing the rom, so I know it is not from the rom itself. I opened up the file in a text editor, and in plain text the word "android" was displayed in it. Should I be worried about this file at all? What is it for?
Also, using es file explorer on my phone, I do not find the file on the root of my SD card. I will check again on my computer to see if it appears there and tell you guys.

Alright well I just checked, I can see it on ny Windows pc but not on my phone using es file explorer. Does anyone have a clue at all what this file is for?

A Google search doesn't turn up anything, so I'd either leave it and not stress over a 7KB file or rename it .enref.old, reboot and see if anything doesn't work. If so, you can always rename it back
Alright thank you for the information.

This is an old thread, but just in case anyone finds this thread through Google like I did, the .enref file is created by Evernote Food and can be safely deleted.

Audio sounds from CM10

Found the audio/sounds lacking on the N2, so here are all the sounds from CM10.
Using Root Explorer or similar, place the sound files in their respective folders in /system/media/audio and reboot phone
Although the existing files have rw-r-r-- permissions, they work without changing permissions at all.
Download here.
Enjoy.
Do we have to delete any old files or will they just be overwritten?

There shouldn't be any overlap with the existing sound files so it shouldn't ask if you want to replace it.

Did you try fixing the permissions?
I never done this but done other stuff. Find the folder where the sound files are located, look and remember their permission.(rw--r--r) or something like that. Rename the new sound files to the exact name of your systems old one. Copy a back up of your old sound files(optional). Then copy over the new sound files replacing the old ones
Now reboot.
Open file manager and change the permissions to match the old one.
Reboot.
Enjoy.

[Q] SHealth Keeps Creating an Image in the Gallery

I tried searching but I couldn't find anything that was helpful. I've tried hiding the image, but it just creates another one. I'm sick of seeing it and I'm tired of constantly deleting it. How do I get rid of it permanently???
That drives me crazy too! Hopefully someone has the answer to this!!

Use a file manager to create a new file called .nomedia in the folder. After a reboot it'll be gone from the gallery
