Unrooted - put your device on silent or vibrate before shutting down.
Rooted - make system writable and edit file in system/volume.db I believe with sql editor and changed all boot labeled sounds to 0 values
Also same method to disable camera sounds btw

Perfect. I edited the volume.db file in system/etc as you suggested. I used sql editor by speed software. I changed the 'boot sound' record under situationvolume to 0. Rebooted to take effect. After reboot no startup or shutdown sounds. Thank you.
Shutter sounds records were present as well but I already enabled the toggle option in feature.xml and turned off forced shutter in buildprop edit. So I just left them alone.

[Q] Lock screen sound gone in 4.0?

For the life of me, I can't seem to find how to activate the screen off sound. I have the crt anim from the update .368 and settings option for screen sound unlock is ticked. Screen unlock has sound but screen off/lock does not work. Anyone?

"Screen off and lock" works fine with me. I always use this app since the power botton a little hard to push.

Just a gentle reminder: Try to answer directly to the questions posted and not your suggestion to a different application or what you do when someone is having issue.

I use that in my x10 mini but still it does not work with the 4.0 update for arc. And I would like to limit installing apps just for simple things.

Actually I don't know what is stock anymore. Hahaha! Too much mod. I guess I got it from crt anim mod from apps and themes section.
The lock.ogg and unlock.ogg files are present in the /system/media/sounds/ui so i think it should be working as stock in 4.0?
I will answer my own question for the sake of the community.
SE somehow changed the default locked.ogg to a dummy sound, no sound actually. Then changed the framework in settings menu to show only unlock sound will be activated. I fixed it by replacing the default locked.ogg to a different one. You can use unlocked.ogg. Just back it up somewhere then rename to locked.ogg and replace. They are located in /system/media/sounds/ui
Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning 'screen off/lock'. Sorry again because English is not my native language.

Disable increasing ring

Is there a way to turn off the increasing ringtone without root when someone calls you.
Yes Install a custom rom!

I guess u missed the part where it said without root.
Open the dialer app press menu - call settings - uncheck increase volume in pocket

you don't need a custom ROM, but you need root. you replace the dialer apk with a non-increasing apk. it's in the dev forum

Volume in pocket does not fix this issue. You have to use a mod/rom that requires root.

[Q] Camera Shutter Sound Toggle

Is there a SamsungCamera.apk out there with a working shutter sound On/Off toggle? I know a majority of the custom ROMs have silent shutter sounds even if you turn the toggle on or off. Is there one out there that actually works on and off?

Hope you are rooted. Navigate to \system\csc\ and find feature.xml. open it and find the line that says
"<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>" Change true to false. Save and reboot
Damn, for some reason this doesn't work for me. I make the change and save the file, reboot and I still don't get the option to disable the camera sound. I'm doing this all with ES file explorer.
If you are on ICS you have to edit a line in the build.prop as well for this to work. Open your build.prop and find the line that reads
"add camera sound property for SPR concept ro.camera.sound.forced=1"
and change to
"add camera sound property for SPR conceptro.camera.sound.forced=0"
Again this only applies to ICS. Jellybean only requires the edit in 2nd post and build.prop doesnt need altered
if you're using ES, check the permissions of the file afterwards. it seems to like to change them on it's own. I switched to root explorer to avoid that.

Get rid of CRT screen off animation in 4.2

For some reason the CRT animation always has felt slow as sin, so I usually keep it off. Changing animation settings in developer options no longer works for some reason.
Workaround:
Put debug.sf.electron_frames=1 in either local.prop or build.prop.
echo "debug.sf.electron_frames=1" > local.prop
Remove this to re-enable. Default is 24 frames.
Requires reboot.
Steps:
Root required to do this. This assumes that you have no local.prop. If you do, you probably don't need this guide.
1) Get into adb shell
2) su
3) cd /data/
4) echo "debug.sf.electron_frames=1" > local.prop
5) reboot

Thanks for making this post. I'm a little confused though. Mostly by the "echo" portion. Mind explaining it in different terms?
My N7 doesn't have the CRT animation after updating to 4.2 I just figured they removed it.

It's that white line that 'folds' down into the center before disappearing when turning off the display.
Replicates what you used to see when turning off a CRT monitor/TV.
Personally I'm a fan.

Nexus 7 4.2 comes with a quick fadeout instead of the crt animation off.
my GN is not on stock so I can't report on it. i rather liked the crt off too, felt kinda neat.

Echo repeats whatever you type in quotes. The > sends it to local.prop file.

hmm didnt work for me on bigxie's android 4.2 rooted busybox odexed
The key is to have the line in one of your props. Should work on all Android 4.2 AOSP builds. If it didn't work, Run 'getprop' from shell to see if the setting worked. If it didn't, you might have another script overriding it.
Also works on 4.1 but be careful how high you set it, hehe. I set mine to 72 and it worked, but wouldn't unlock again afterwards.
It's shown in getprop, but it still doesn't work. I hate this CRT effect, really wanna make it go away.

push in search of a working method to disable this
Guys maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I'll update OP

I tried 'setprop debug.sf.electron_frames 1', and I was able to get [debug.sf.electron_frames]: [1] from 'getprop'. But, it is still not working.... help?
Update: I even try the app "build.prop editor" and manually create debug.sf.electron_frames (value:1), and it is still not working. I go to /system/build.prop, and yes debug.sf.electron_frames=1 is there. My phone is rooted, newly flash with stock 4.2 on Gnexus. It wouldn't because I have BusyBox installed, right?

Lockscreen Shortcuts.

Hi guys.
So i manged to remove the camera shortcut from the lockscreen using sqlite.
1. settings storage
1.1 settings.db
1.2 system
1.3 (search for) short and you will find "set_shortcuts_mode"
1.4 change the value to 0 and camera goes away.
Any idea on how to remove the phone?

Can you possibly get different apps?? Also what if you change the value to 2 or 3 lol..?

Different apps, no and no 2 or 3 does nothing tried.
Can you explain more how you did this?
Can you edit the build.prop file to do the same thing?
In the lockscreen setting with MM you can take camera off and put any app in that spot. maybe the call too.
I don't think you can remove call button due to emergencies. Which is actually a good idea. Granted anything can be done using root and modifying framework files.
