Here's what I want to do

So here is my thing, I want a custom splash screen and boot animation but I'm running into a problem. Everytime I try to flash it using
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565 I get the error (failed: no remote access) or something like that.
I found out it's because my hboot is 2.10......
but I am unable to downgrade from what I have seen because my readout from adb shell is that I have the 40000 block build or something like that and because i have that build I cant downgrade and because I cant downgrade I cant have a custom splash page and boot animation.
Any ideas?

It isn't at all true that you can't have a custom splashscreen or boot animation. You can either find a flashable zip of the boot animation you want to use and flash it via recovery, or you can manually place it in the correct folder and set permissions using Root Explorer. The location of the boot animation is dependent on the rom. If it isn't flashable, it needs to be named exactly bootanimation.zip in order for it to work once you've put it in the correct folder. I usually just rename the old one and leave it there in case I decide I don't like the new one.
Splashscreens, and I might be wrong about this because I've never used a custom one, can be loaded as a PC36IMG in the bootloader. I believe there are a small handful of them that can be flashed in recovery.
Hopefully someone that actually knows something about splash screens will chime in, since I'm afraid I may be giving out bad information when it comes to that.

Thank you for your insight. The issue I'm running into is I can't figure out how to get into the folder to place the boot animation. With the hboot being 2.10..... it won't let me change anything in there.

Your hboot has nothing to do with it, you need to boot into the rom and do it there. You can use Root Explorer to copy/cut and paste the boot animation into the correct folder. Rename the existing one to something else, you'll need to mount as r/w by tapping the button near the top that says "mount r/w". After you've moved the new boot animation and renamed it properly (if needed), you will need to set the permissions to match the old one. You can do this by long pressing the file and selecting permissions from the list. Then mount as r/o the same way you mounted r/w. When you've finished, reboot.
You should see your new boot animation
If you don't have Root Explorer, I would suggest buying it - it will come in handy. You can also use EStrongs and I believe File Expert has an option for root access. In ES File Explorer, you have to enable root functions in settings. I don't know if you can mount r/w through the app and it may not operate the same as my directions, but it's free. For root file actions, Root Explorer is just more polished in my opinion and well worth the money.

Thanks man, works great. The only issue I'm having is I can not get any audio. The audio is in the format spc_bootanimation_final.m3 and the bootanimation is spc_bootanimation.zip, any ideas?

Well, that 'man,' is actually a lady, and a good one too. Working on another gold star.
And it needs to be SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3 [yes, its case sensitive.] And try renaming the animation to just bootanimation. Are you on an aosp or sense rom?

Sorry mam, not man lol. Wish my ol lady was that technical lol.
I'm on sense, I didn't know if I shuld try to rename it to just bootanimation.zip or not since the rom's animationwas spc_anmation.zip and it was all in lowercase as well. I'll try the upper on the audio though.

Well with gaining the skill, comes time, lol.
Well its been since 'nam since I ran sense, though I keep the kingdom rom as my sense rom. For the audio, with the SPC in caps, that should work, and the same for the just bootanimation.zip as well.

Ok, so the mp3 wasin format SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3 and I set the permissions the same as the bootanimation. Could it be because it is just the audio file, not a zip with the text file in it?

Well the audio file is just that, just the file .mp3. It may have been because they weren't formatted/named correctly.

So here is where I am. I have the boot animation working flawlessly and have successfully changed it to 4 different animations without problem. Sound is still the problem. Here is what I have tried.
SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3
spc_bootanimation_final.m3
SPC_bootanimation.mp3
spc_bootanimation.mp3
SPC_bootsound_final.mp3
spc_bootsound_final.mp3
SPC_bootsound.mp3
spc_bootsound.mp3
I have it in the same folder as the animation (system/customize/resource) with the same permissions (Readwner, group, others...Write: group)
I'm at a loss, everything should work but still no sound.

You should have SPC_animation_final.mp3 in the system/customize/resources folder, and nothing?

Nope, nothing. I have played the file just to make sure it has sound and it does. I also tried moving it to system/media as android_audio.mp3 as was suggessted in another thread with nothing. Now boot sound worked with the stock rom, aybe from flashing it, it changed the audio setting maybe? I'm gonna try and change that real quick and see if it works.

Ok so I'm not getting it, all sounds are completely up. The only thing I ca figure is maybe somewhere in the rom it has been blocked/disabled for sounds at bootup. That's the only thing I can think of.

[How To] Boot Sound

I had started a thread asking for help on how to do this. So since its pretty much confirmed it works on most phones even when you didnt realize it was installed Ifigured it was time to give it a proper [How-To].
Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action you do to your phone. By using this script you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
If you are using BACKSIDE/IHO or have already installed the script dont I REPEAT DONT run the script again. Doing so makes multiple instances of the commands and will stop the bootsound from playing. If you run the script more than once you will have to delete somethings to get it to work. SO be warned DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OR ARE USING BACKSIDEIHO ROM
The ability to play boot sounds is not activated in CM7 based roms. You have to run a script that will enable this function on CM7 based roms. I remember somebody posting this a short while back but it wouldnt work for me. Apparently the sound file I was using was not named properly.
I found a tutorial on CMforums about how to do this. Tested it and everything works great. Several people have tried this on Froyo roms and not have it work. Also it appears on some phones it just wont work at all.
This is what you do.
1. Download this shell script here bootsnd.sh
2. Place it on the root of your SD card & then open Terminal & type the following
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
3. Now by using a file manager program with R/W (Read/Write) go to the /system/bin in your phone & make sure the file has transfered over! It should say BOOTSOUND & have permissions set to rwxrwxrwx! for this I use Root Explorer or you can use File Manager once you have selected R/W
4. Before transferring your sound file over rename it on your pc, android_audio and make sure it is a .mp3 file. Transfer the sound file from your pc to the root of your SDcard. Now move your sound file you want to play when the phone boots to /system/media of your phone & rename it android_audio you will have to be in R/W mode! Typically fifteen seconds is plenty long and just perfect, however anything over 30 seconds will get cut off.
5. Reboot & enjoy your new BOOTSOUND B)
I dont take credit for this and I am just adding the info here, if you wanna give thanks make sure you go here as well & say thanks to Colpophage for his help on this topic - say thanks here

If your having trouble getting sounds to play this should fix the problem.
Here is how to fix it.
Make sure you are mounting in R/W mode on each of these steps.

Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.
Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.
Code:
ro.config.play.bootsound=1
Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.
This is optional but recommened.
Reboot phone.
Verify no sound is playing.
Now run the script again and reboot.
You should have a boot sound again.

Thanks to danieljc1, Jerryscript, deaver_92 on XDA and most importantly colpophage on CMforum.

Sorry, no boot sound for me. I even tried to fix it with the tutorial and nothing.

if you're using a froyo rom, it's a simpler and different method to get the boot sound.
you need the .mp3 saved as
/system/sounds/poweron/PowerOn.mp3
that's all.
if it still doesn't work, try re-encoding the mp3, or use a different one. sometimes the system's picky about which mp3s it'll use for a bootsound.

The problem is: there is no folder under the name of sounds. Should I create one?

If you are using a CM7 based ROM, here's a flashable zip file you can use:
Activate-Bootsound-signed.zip
Boot into recovery and flash after flashing any CM7 based ROM.
Note- If you have made changes to the files mentioned by eollie, you must remove your changes before flashing this.

Thanks Jerry. out of curiosity, is there a size or time limit for these boot sounds? i was thinking of adding the very opening of "Zoo Station" by U2.

I dunno about cm7, but I put a 40 second mp3 as the bootsound in froyo, and it played all the way past when the sd card mounted on the home screen.

The most I've been able to play is about 90 seconds, larger files didn't even play for me.

Remember some Rom cookers have supercharged the boot process. So the best thing to do is use a timer and time how long you have from the flash from the second bootanimation to when the phone does the soft vibirate to let you know its loaded.

is there any way to use a sound for when the phone powers off also

it is not working for me...i did nothing eollies thread and i only flash Activate_Bootsound-signed.zip this on that you have given,but steel boot sound is not working.I am currently on cm7 6.5.8.Please tell me what to do to enable boot sound???
Thanks in advanced....

Please remove the paid app from your post. It is against the rules. Plus there is a zip created by jerryscript that does this.
Another thing you edited the post for better wording yet instead of typing out into you abbreviated it. Also used the letter u instead of typing you. /faceplam Your post is horribly written using leet speak and text speak because you either cant spell or are too lazy to use proper words.

I can't believe it...I did everything mentioned in the first post, and I actually got the boot sound to work on my Galaxy Mini running CM7.2! Thanks so much!

Don't forget to hit thanks!

Hi,
Tried all your suggestions.
Regenerated bootsound/edited init.local.rc/build.prop
But still no sound - using android_audio.mp3 - which is valid !!!
Was able change bootanimation.
Something I'm missing or just not possible in this rom ?
Thanks or any advise

I couldn't get the script to work for me either, but the manual method did work for me. The file I had was an ogg, so I edited that part of the bootsound file and the off plays.
Sorry, I don't know why yours doesn't work. Did you make sure your bootsound file has no extension?

[Q] System UI tones, and how to change them...

...ok, this has me stumped and I figured someone here might know the answer.
I am trying to change the call connect and the call disconnect tones on my S4. My phone is of course rooted, and I see the sound files located in /system/media/audio/ui - they are in .ogg format. I see the following files (call related):
Call_Connect.ogg
TW_Call_Disconnect.ogg
I replaced both files with the sounds of my choice (same file name, same permissions, same format)...but...when I dial out or disconnect, I get the S4 default connect tone / disconnect tone. I also did a complete factory reset...same result, WTF?
EDIT: Also, I did make sure that the system folder was mounted and writable...

Ok, I want to offer a little more info...
I have:
Made sure the files have the same name. (there are no dupe's in the directory either)
Made sure the files have the same permissions that all other files in that directory have.
Verified the files were updated by listening to them via my root explorer.
Rebooted 6519845619685465196847 times.
Cleared phone app cache, nova launcher cache, and even did a factory reset (dalvik, cache, data).
I even removed the files from that directory all together (which should have killed the call connect and call disconnect notifications)...but the stock ones STILL PLAY...WTF?
Used ADB to open a shell session and LOGCAT to see if I could spot something happening while I placed a call, and came up with nothing relevant, which is weird because if LOGCAT is supposed to show everything the phone is doing, then why is there no information on what sounds are being used for those events...
It is as if the files exist or are cached somewhere else...but I cannot locate any other .ogg or audio file anywhere else on the device at all.
This is driving me insane.

Ok, it wasn't in that file, but it was in the SecPhone.apk file. However, editing that file immediately caused my phone to crap itself. I replaced the two files in the archive and then put that modified file back into /system/app and then rebooted and wiped dalvik and cache. When I got the phone back up, I tried using the phone, and instantly it (over and over I might add) said that com.android.phone has stooped working...oh yeah, and my modified sounds didn't play either.
Guess I'm stuck with the default unless I either learn a lot more about working with Android, or someone hooks me up with some knowledge, or better yet, an app that someone has that can successfully change this.

Ah that actually makes more sense
But.....
Give me the audio files and your ORIGINAL SecPhone.apk and i shall sprinkle some pixie dust on them and watch them merge as one might even use it myself depending on what they sound like (BTW put the audio files and SecPhone.apk into a folder and zip that folder then attach the zip)

[Q] Was trying to change UI sounds and....

In a nutshell, I was trying to change my G3 lock and unlock sounds. I really like the iPhone lock and unlock so I tried changing it to that and but no avail.
I downloaded the files from Zedge. I converted them to .ogg files using Audacity on my PC, then transferred it back to my phone. I copied the name of the lock/unlock screen sound that my phone was using at the time. BTW Im rooted and used ES File Manager. The files were successfully copied and I rebooted the phone.
Once powered back on the phone would make no UI notification sounds at all. I tried using different types of screen lock settings and screen swipe effects to get a different noise but none of them worked.
I tried a factory reset which somehow restored my lock/unlock screen ONLY if i was using the swipe screen lock. PIN, Knock, pattern, face unlock etc... all produced no sounds when locking.
I noticed that the Iphone lock and unlock sounds were still in the folder after a factory reset (with the name I replaced it with). Is that normal? Shouldnt a factory reset start fresh?
I then tried downloading stock g3 Audio files and completely replaced all 4 folders in the phone and then tried a factory reset once more. Still no lock or unlock sounds.
From what I can tell, the volume up and down still make a sound, typing still ticks, calls still ring and I can preview ringtones and notifications in settings.
The files are clearly in the right spot, I don't get why the phone wont pick anything up.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

Did you change permissions? to rw-r-r i don't convert the sound to .ogg just rename the tone.example suppose your lock was lock.ogg and the one your download was iphonelock.mp3 what i do is rename the lock.ogg to lock.ogg.bak and iphonelock.mp3 rename to lock.ogg and change permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Thanks so much for the reply!
I have no idea how to change permissions. lol
How is this done exactly? Am I changing permissions on a single file or entire folder ( UI )?
Cheers

I use root browser.

PowerOn.ogg doesn't play with correct permission??

So my phone is rooted with Magisk and TWRP, of course.
Long story short I wanted to get the Galaxy S8 fanmade boot animation for my phone. But, since I flashed an One-UI based ROM (Noble 2.3), my device uses .qmg extensions for startup and shutdown.
That's not the main problem though. I got the animation to play flawlessly when powering on and off, but only the shut down sound plays. The startup one doesn't.
Both of the .ogg files are placed properly in their location (/system/media/audio/ui) and they have -rwxr-xr-x permissions. No, setting the permissions to -rw--r--r doesn't change anything. The files are named "PowerOn.ogg" and "PowerOff.ogg". Only the shutdown file is played though, and I don't know why...
I'm pretty sure that I didn't mess with anything else besides the boot images.qmg and the .ogg files and only the poweron one is faulty. No, the audio isn't corrupted at all, it can be perfectly played.
I would just want to know how is this possible since I can't make up a reason... I uploaded a video on how my phone reboots while how i want it to reboot. I also uploaded the PowerOn.ogg file for troubleshooting
Any help is wanted, tysm for reading; if there's some confusing things I can explain again

Nevermind, I tried using a different sound and it worked flawlessly. So sorry for the time bother, seems like it was just the file... :,)
