There is a Sound file that is used when the device boot. I had this disabled for all Android phone I have.
However, I couldn't find the file for Note 8.0.

Did you check the system/media/audio/ui folder? Can't check now, but it should contain poweron.ogg or similar file

Here is your answer
Please get "Silent Boot" from the Play Store. It is a free app.

[APP] MixGet v1.1 widget to control Alsa headset volume

Hi all,
I've just released MixGet on the Market to fix the headset issue in this thread
Changelog
v1.1:
- New UI, use tab widget in configuration screen.
- Click on the icon to open the configuration screen, to change the profile, click on the radio button or the seekbar.
- Split the Media config and the Alsa config
- Handle video player state to apply the alsa settings
- Enable/disable the alsa auto settings.
- Speaker and Micro in alsa is not available for now.
- minor changes in save/restore presets.
v1.0:
No need to use adb, no need to root your phone.
It will save your "media" volume presets into 3 profiles (E)ar, (D)efault, (B)oost.
Click on the widget icon to change the profile. It also manages the headset low level driver Alsa if your phone is compatible with. Be careful when setting the alsa config if you dont want to hurt your ears .
To install the alsa library (only if you want to try with alsa):
- Enter to the config screen
- Click on Update
- Rename the update_mixget.zip into update.zip
- Reboot in recovery mode
The headset alsa volume is automatically set when the media player is playing or pausing, no need to set it again then.
This could be use on other smartphones if compatible with the alsa library. If you've already installed the alsa manually, check that you've have permission to run it. If not, delete all the files and re-install it with this widget.
Edit: if you have any problem to grab the update_mixget.zip by the widget, you can download it here and rename to update.zip then copy it on your sdcard.

thanks sir
Question
Hi gilsken, and thanks for the app
But what does it do, exactly? Is it just a fix for volume levels?
Or does it automatically apply the settings we have to do manually in the Service Menu; the "fir_coeff" settings, etc?
Thanks again!
Thanks for this! Very much appreciated!

+1. Fully agreed.
Just sum feedback.
I had AudioBoost previously, which installed ALSA. Then I uninstalled it and restarted.
Grabbed MixGet from market. Installed fine.
ALSA slider not functioning.
No button to install ALSA.
No update.zip or update_mixget.zip in /sdcard.
Does this change DiamondSolution crappy coeffs?
How to get this runnin? Remove/reinstall ALSA?
SGS JM5 rooted+CLagFix

No this does not change the Diamond equalizer but it seems that there is no need to set it if you are under JM2/JM5 (to be confirmed by supercurio)

It basically presets in software the volume media. The most interesting feature is, if you have installed the lib alsa with this widget, you will be able to set directly the headset volume level in hardware by the lib alsa. And it sets it up again automatically when the mediaplayer starts or stops, avoiding to lose this setting.

Yep It seems diamondcrap does not to make a difference for me.
Supplied update.zip worked. Thanks!
ALSA slider functioning. Keeping it around 70 for nice moderate boost.
As a side effect it actually increases amount of static noise.
Gotta do more tests.

Thanks for the explanation man
Nice work too.
Can you run the update.zip with CFlag fix v1.8, or do you have to uninstall it first?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Okay now I'm back after being blown away by the setting, I'm happy to say that this really works wonders. No root needed, no tedious hacking. Installed the update as well. Genius, just pure genius.
When supercurio mentioned that our SGS would be able to give power even to the most demanding headsets, well, he was spot on!
I'm off to listening to some European metal. Starting off with Alcest's latest release.
Works like a charm.
With a better GUI this make a incrdible widget.
Good Bye scriptme!!!!
thanx man, tried to install the zip through rommanager first, no success, then i went to clockwork recovery to apply it this way, also no success, then i renamed the zip to update.zip and used the stock recovery and bam... worked flawlessly. i found such behaviour already multiple times with clockwork, so there must be a bug in there...
One hint. You need to include mixget into the ignore list of advance task killer to keep it working behind scene.
hmm, it is strongly suggested to not use any taskkiller at all... if you have problems use something like auto memory manager that adjusts the memory thresholds of android task management.

Your lib alsa is installed manually but not in the good way.
You have to re install the alsa lib by rebooting in recovery and applying my update.zip

[Q] how to turn off vibration of menu/back/home/search buttons ?

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible because I have not found any setting to deactivate this. At least for me is a lil annoying... does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!

At the moment you cannot turn off Haptic Feeback for the keys at the bottom of the phone. Motorola says it's a bug. Maybe it'll get unbugged soon.
chmod 0444 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
would totally disable the vibrator.

"How to"
In order to turn off keys vibration, you need to
- Have root on your defy (you can use z4root application, use google, download apk, install it)
- Have explorer that is able to view/edit system files (f.e. Super Manager from Android Market, remeber set "use Root" in this app settings)
- Go to the folder /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/ with f.e. Super Manager
- Create file called "enable", and then change this file atributes (chmod 444 - read, read read) for this file with super managers, and thats all.
Regards.
headblow - your instructions work brilliantly until the phone's rebooted, and then the vibrations come back. Any way to make that stick so it's not reset every time?
Can u plz make an update zip file.

Found a couple of interesting things on another forum:
There's an app someone has cooked up that will make the permission changes to the file for you, so you don't have to hunt around in Super Manager or similar file explorer.
There's no way to make the change permanent, because you're not dealing with a physical file on disk. There's an app called Autostart than runs a script as root on startup though, so adding something like:
chmod 444 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
into that script should always turn off vibration on startup. Haven't tried it yet, wife's phone is with her at work.
Worket for me
but how ever here is just temp when i get reboot the vibrate back , but i have a bug the call is to disable vibrations and for the call vibration is neccessary , i wish disable only for the butons
I''m disabling vibrations globally with application Streak Vibrations. Vibrating during unlocking device and button feedback drives me mad.

Hi,
I have a defy (stock 2.1) since some months now ... and I have got the same annoying issue...
Because I found nothing to answer this problem, I coded an app for myself some days ago ... but if it can help someone else ...
However, you must to be root for a full using of it.
This app stops the vibrate totaly (with a 0444 on /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable) but switch it to enable (with a 777) when a call.
The app can be started at boot.
Fits perfectly for my usage ... but I'm aware if you have suggestions to improve it. Sources are shared on a SVN if someone wants them.
(I can post the url later when I have enough rights to post a link on this forum).
(sorry for my english and for the crap icon for the app : I'm not a designer )
EDIT : link for downloading is removed because a topic about VibraFix is created here.
is the problem still present on android 2.2 ?
yes on my defy with official update (Android2.2.2 / 34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR).
I still using my app ^^

The only thing I will do one day : change the icon because I don't like it and enable vibrate for SMS/MMS.

V9 Rooting Issues, Disabling Shutter Sound

EDIT: SOLVED. Read below under the magenta EDIT: section.
---------------------------------------------------
Followed engine95's rooting guide to root ZV9 LGOG. Initially I sought out to root the LGOG only to turn off the camera shutter sound from sharkboy0901's thread here. But you have to root it first. I've spent over 3 hours trying to figure this stuff out before bothering you guys.
I rooted the device but am unsure if it worked. I went through fiddy619's directions here:
1. Unzip the zip file
2. Make sure USB Debugging is on, and your are in Charge only Mode
3. Run the CurrentRoot.bat, wait for the prompt.
4. Change to MTP Mode
5. Just ignore when your computer asks how to view files on your device.
6. Press enter in the CMD prompt to continue.
7. Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I thought I was set. Checked apps and SuperSU was not installed. Does it have to be? I was confused on what directions needed to be followed after this. By the way, I did install the drivers beforehand. The prompts appeared to work and the phone rebooted but SuperSU was not there.
I opened up ES File Explorer anyway to see if I can edit the file to disable the camera shutter sound. Went under settings to allow "Root Explorer" but keeps telling me, "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone." If I can't check that box, I cannot allow it to check "Mount File System" which will allow me read and write permissions to turn the camera shutter sound off as related to sharkboy0901's thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
---------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Solved! All that I needed was a simple restart from my PC. Before I didn't restart after I installed the drivers which I guess was a necessary thing after all. Perhaps some users didn't have to restart but I did. After the restart, ran through fiddy619's directions to root it again (properly this time) and afterward, saw that SuperSU was installed which is also necessary to make sure that it worked.
Opened up ES File Explorer to change the settings to enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" which worked this time without fail... Then went ahead and followed sharkboy0901's direction to change the code to disable the camera sound. Saved the changes.. Rebooted the phone and made sure the sound profile was set to either Silent or Vibrate, snapped a picture, silent! It also disabled the shutter sound in Instagram which is great. (Note: If your sound profile is on to enableall sounds, you will hear the shutter sound.)
Excellent, I hoped this helps someone else.

M8 GPE Ringtone Issues?

After updating to the 5.0.1 OTA I can no longer change my ringtone. It selects a new one just fine , but when you change the volume in the sound setting it plays a single chime like tone thats I didnt select. This happens with any of the default tones or a custom one. If someone calls I also get this chime and not the tone I select.
Anyone see this behavior?

Viper4Android not working right on stock ROM.

Having a problem with V4A on build .139. I am rooted, have Busybox free installed, and bought SELinux.
I use the stock music app, because I don't know how to sideload the info for other programs. Total newb here, first time rooting. Anyways, as I start the music app, V4A is not active, and I have to go to the EQ settings, then it starts. Then after about 5 min., playing with screen off, it shuts off. I have tried both Normal and Compatible FX settings, Compatible renders the driver useless. I have V4A set to force start, but that does nothing, and I've installed the latest version 3 times now, doing a driver removal, reboot, app removal reboot, redownload, re-install, setup etc. It still happens. Is there something I'm doing wrong. I've disabled the "Music FX" app that comes with the phone that is the basic EQ on the phone, so that's not interfering. I don't know what it could be. Does anyone else have this problem, and how did you solve it?
Much appreciated for the responses.
Check if you are using the Asus auto start manager, allow viper and uncheck cleanup in suspend option.

I am using Asus auto start. I did what you said, and I'm running a test now. It would usually run for about 15 min, then shut off. So, I'm doing the 15 min. test, then I'll try the music app shutdown and restart, and see if your suggestion worked. I hope so, it's been driving me nuts all day.:good:
I know, it drove me crazy too. What i did was change something in the "audio.conf" file. You have to erase some lines.
With this, android uses viper audio for everything.
for the audio conf thing look in the sticky posts, thats where i found it

Well, the 15 min. thing worked out. It seems to run no problem now. But when I shut the music player off, and restart it, I have to Force Stop V4A, then go into the EQ of the music player, then it kicks in.
I'll look for the "audio.conf" file, but how do I implement it, or write it on the phone. I'm not a user of ADB, and frankly, using developer tools scares me, as this is my first time rooting a phone. So, something straightforward would be great.

Its the 7.2 on this post:

I used a file explorer like "ES File explorer". Just edited the audio_policy.conf to erase the lines of it using the text editor. I dont remember which text editor i used though, i think it was the one built into the es file explorer.
By doing this i dont have to restart V4A anymore. I use spotify app, but i think its the same thing.
just remember to do a backup if anything.

Okay, now im trying to get PowerAmp working, and I've done everything suggested, and V4A refuses to start in it. It would be nice to get it going, as I can use the bluetooth connection in my truck, and I'm sick of the gaps in playback and other failings of the stock player. I've shut down the EQ and tone controls and limiter in PowerAmp, and activated the Music tweaks part of the app. If I long press on it, V4A comes up, but it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
