[Q] Removed Boot Sound - Permanently gone?

Soon after I rooted my phone on launch day, I manually disabled the boot sound (unfortunately, I don't remember which method). Now, regardless of which ROM I flash, I NEVER have a boot sound. Can someone help me out and let me know how I can about troubleshooting this further?
I've tried the obvious, by checking if the ROM I'm flashing has one (it does), and looking through Root Explorer to add a mp3 in various places, but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something very simple here?

you have to have a music file with the same name and format in the same location as in stock.

Same ROM's have different directory's for boot sound and animations. Check next two..
system/customize/resource (stock rom)
system/media (fresh & calkulin rom)
Edit: Btw I have try it, and does replace animation on Calkulin but still no sound... Which ROM are you using?

This may be my issue. I'm using CM7 (DESTROYED - link to forum below) so there is no system/customize directory. Can I just create it and put something in there? Does it need to be named specifically? android_boot.mp3???

See above - CM7 - Destroyed. I don't have an issue with the animations at all, just the boot sounds.

Stock file is called SPC_animation_final.mp3 but check witch someone who have same rom like you.

NO. You cant do that, must be specific (based on rom)

Tried to create system/customize/resource directory manually, copied the mp3 from system/media that came with the ROM and pasted into that new directory, renamed it android_audio.mp3 with no avail. Still no boot sound.
Tried renaming that to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and same result. Anything else I can try?

Send a PM to person who made that ROM...

Will do - but realize this occurs regardless of which ROM I use. It's not ROM specific.
Thanks for the help all!

Try Fresh ROM, you should have sound saying "freshhh"

Sorry, I was thinking with Sense on my mind.

You cannot do a boot sound on an AOSP rom.
Only Sense Roms.

Really....wow. Was definitely not aware of that! I'll throw Fresh on there again tonight and see what I get. Maybe I've just had AOSP ROMS on there ever since. I thought I for sure tried out a few Sense, but maybe not.
Again - thanks to everyone. I didn't expect to get this much response. Really helps.

Yea, like they said, only sense roms have sound enable, no aosp, CM7 for example, support boot sounds.

Sure enough! Flashed Fresh and got boot sound. I could have sworn I had a Sense ROM in there somewhere in the past 6-9 months, but maybe not. Thanks again guys.

[Q] I have some strange Kernel issues !!!

Hello folks! As the title says I have quite a strange issue with some kernels (Franco,LeanKernel and STOCK!!). I flash the kernels after flashing a rom ,doing it clean(all the wipes) and the phone is working fine for couple hours or a day,after that it just going verry sluggish even in appdrawer or when switching desktop screens. I looked at the CPU frequencies and they change as they shouldn't,I can tell that somethig isn't right with the cpu...I have this issue only with those kernels. I tried stock roms,4.2.x roms,flashed even google images to be sure it's stock,tried them with AOKP 4.2 and 4.1 ,CNA and the list could go on...
Is someone else having the same issue??
Any fix for this? I really want to try franco's kernel!!!

1. Hmmm, are you running a live wallpaper?
2. Do you face the same issue while using Trinity Kernel?
3. Are you sure you do not have any app such as SetCPU which is controlling the speed of CPU?
4. If you set the CPU speed back to normal, does this fix the issue?
5. How much space is mostly left on your sdcard?
I hope the answers of these questions will help to identify your problem much bettER

I don't have the same issue with faux's and trinity kernels . I don't have any program,i don't use a live wallpaper, how I can speed back to normal the cpu?

I thought you have checked the CPU speed/frequency using an app like "AnTuTu CPU Master".
calinoii said:

Using AnTuTu CPU Master, check the speed set for the CPU when the phone is sluggish and if it something other than the normal 1200 MHz then modify it back to normal. This is what I meant

The frequencies changes verry verry fast,that's when the phone becomes sluggish,i have mini freezes,lots of them

I think some background processes are causing this so the CPU is trying to respond to them.
I suggest that you do a full wipe, install a ROM and use Franco's kernel, but do not install any other application on your phone, only default ones installed already with the ROM, maybe Gapps as well just to have a usable phone for some time, then check after a day whether it is again sluggish although there are no applications at all or it is still running fine. At least we would be able to know that maybe one of your application is not compatible well with these kernels and causing this mess.
You may want to avoid wiping so try to force stop the applications running in the background (and cached processes as well) to see if one of them is causing this problem.
Good Luck

I did wipe the data and didn't install any application and I have the same issue :-s

Do you use any widgets?

Nope

I am not sure I have helpful suggestions anymore except to be sure that you are using the correct Franco kernel whether you are running a 4.1 ROM or 4.2 one.
I hope other members can solve this problem for you. Maybe you will get a bettER help if you discuss this with the Franco kernel users on the Franco kernel thread.

Thanks anyway,i'll post this issue on franco's kernel thread and hope for a fix...and be sure i flashed the correct version of kernel )

Anyone? Please?

I have some others with the same problem,but thisis the latest,no one could help me this far.I already did what you suggested me...I`m sure I did the clean wipes,just installed gapps and nothing else...when it was getting little hot the freezes were starting too,I think i did all I could,many people in this forums adviced me and still nothing,maybe franco's the only one who can help me with this...

Carrying on from here where we were in franco's thread. If you're flashing gapps then clearly you aren't using stock ROM like I told you to try. So, my suggestion to you for troubleshooting remains the same:
osm0sis said:
Well that's really peculiar. I'd try flashing stock again using fastboot. I'd fastboot oem lock, then fastboot oem unlock to wipe, then flash the entire image set as in efrant's thread just to make sure it all gets wiped. But unfortunately, like I said, if stock kernel doesn't work over a fresh fastboot flash of Google's factory image on your device there's still something very wrong, and it's likely wrong with the device itself.

osm0sis said:
Use the latest Google Factory Image for your device like I suggested, then you can see if you get the OTA immediately or you can flash it yourself. Do all this before you put any apps on, and don't let it put any apps on and see if you still have the issue with a completely stock setup.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please report back only when you've followed that to the letter.

Tried both,the ones from the images,and the gapps on a stock flashed rom via recovery...I'm trying to resolve this for over 2 weeks now...
L.E : Ok,I will pm you when I manage to have some time for doing this again,thanks for your kindnes

I don't care how many times you think you've done it correctly before, I want you to try it AGAIN. And make sure you've completely wiped by using fastboot oem lock and unlock, then follow efrant's thread to the letter for flashing the entire image set. Factory Images ONLY, no stock-ish kitchen garbage.
I'm happy to help you but you've got to follow my instructions, since this is what I would be doing if I had this issue on my device.

Ok,I will,is there anyguide for locking and unlockingthe bootloader ? or simply "fastboot oem lock" and after "fastboot oem unlock" ?

Yeah those are the commands. That's it. :good:
I think it's mentioned in efrant's post too, but no special guide necessary. Use the adb and fastboot that he attached too if you're new to fastboot.

I'm used to fastboot,I don't even need the guide to see the commands now,I think I used them like 100 times last 2 weeks )

Fair enough. Please follow the guide anyway though, and be sure to also flash userdata.img and recovery.img to be completely stock. You can fastboot boot cwm.img if you need it to flash your OTA afterwards. We just need you at 100% stock so we can try to figure this thing out. Also maybe hold off on adding your Google account so it doesn't start forcing apps onto your device. It could very well still be a rogue app issue so we need to try and keep your device as empty as possible to see if we can rule out hardware defect. :good:

Should I install any apps?
I did everything you said,now i'm waiting for it to boot up

MiDroid little(?) problems

As MameTozhio is to busy (or sick and tired ) to answer me, I have to ask my question here...
I was trying to flash Turbo Boost on MiDroid... flash was successful, but swap file won't be created... Mame said that the ROM doesn't set permissions correctly... and i think that with manual instalation will be the same problem :/
Similar problem was with ViperFX cointained in ROM... it was asking to download additional libs, but after download and reboot it was asking the same question...
Additionaly, Turbo Charger script wasn't been loaded on boot, I had to run it manually...
So here's my question:
Is there any workaround for such problems? Changes in some system files or maybe script running on boot, that will repair setting permissions process?

V4A has been updated. I didn't realize literally until 5 minutes after I uploaded 3.12.6 o-o
I have no clue what's wrong with it loading things.. could you do a clean install and not flash turbo boost and give me the results of cat /proc/swaps?
I'm going to run my ROM through my modded Android Kitchen to see if I can update busybox etc..

Here's the shot of cat /proc/swaps
Because of that full emmc swap ROM gets extremely laggy after 5 min of use, so I have to reboot it by holding power button... I hope it's the only reason why it's so slow and laggy...

[Q] Would this be a hardware problem? T210R hangs, reboots

On my stock T210R I experienced the system freeze and reboot just a few seconds after power up, it was all stock.
I installed TWRP 2.7.1.0, then wiped it off. Installed gr8nole's ROM (Nov '13 deodexed, rooted). After doing so, there was a Kernel Panic on boot, so I installed Blackhawk kernel 2.1.
After doing all of the above, it still boots up, comes to the initial setup page, runs a few seconds, freezes and reboots.
Do you think this is a hardware problem?
Any suggestions before I sell it for parts on ebay?
Thanks in advance

logs?

does it stay long enough to get logs? even if you have to boot a few times to get them onto your pc and check them out from there?
also with twrp there's some unexplained issue of /data getting corrupted on flashes, the only remedy for which seems to be using the format data option.

Sometimes it goes for several minutes before it freezes, especially if the battery is full, even then apps just randomly close without a notification... Maybe storage related?
Care to share how to gather logs?
Thanks

I would use ODIN or KYES to flash it back to OEM stock firmware. Also remove the micro SD card if you have one in there, sometimes corrupt cards can cause boot loop.

fyi- you can get a lot of different info from files that have info to give with
cat /directory/file > /sdcard/output.file
mostly from /proc and digging through /sys
when you get something crazy looking that goes on forever press ctrl then c to stop.

The tablet did the same without the sdcard, and I tried a couple times to do a factory reset with no luck.
The fact that it does the same with a different ROM and kernel is what makes me think it's hardware related

Cool, i'll get syslog installed and see if I can find anything.

Weird thing... It's been up for a day now, I have catlog running and recording; the only different thing is that I enabled battery saving mode, and batt is 94%; I have not used any apps other than checking battery and running catlog, but I did not have to use it for it to freeze and reboot...
If it is still running by this evening, I'll enable one thing at a time (GPS, sound, etc...)
Thanks @moonbutt74 and @dsilx

Hope it keeps working have fun

Ok, it seems to be hardware, as soon as I disable Power Saving mode, the tablet freezes and reboots.
As I understand, power saving mode limits the CPU to a lower performance tier; so I think the CPU is having troubles.
Oh well, as long as I don't try to mine bitcoins with the tablet, I should be good to go.

I'm running rooted deodexed stock ROM with Blackhawk 2.1 kernel.
But as I mentioned in the OP, the problem was there with the full stock device, the new ROM and kernel were installed after the problem started.

ouch
i think you pegged it right with internal storage being damaged.
only thing i can think of besides getting your money back is do a full data partition wipe and format
and a full system wipe and format
either way that has to suck. sorry i couldn't help.

I have a viper one running so I think it's been deleted but I think there's supposed to be a file in System/media you could delete. Would probably require root.
Might be easier to put a custom rom on.

I just got this phone not even two days ago. I've rooted it but I can't find it in /system/media/audio/ui. I'll install a custom ROM once I'm more comfortable with HTC Sense (which has obviously improved since the days of the Doubleshot).
