Is there any working method to get rid of motos annoying ascending sounds like for the timer? For the original Z Play there is one editing the audio ext spkr conf, but either that one is missing on the Z2 Play or it's not located in /system/etc. Because mounting it there with Magisk doesn't change a thing.
And I would like to get rid of the N/A bootup screen for unlocked bootloaders, but I have yet to find a flashable logo.bin here. There is only something to build one and I don't really want to get the whole stock ROM for that little file.

Hello,
I'm looking at trying to change the boot animation after the newest updates, and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm rooted with CWM.
I tried copying my bootanimation.zip and bootanimation.mp3 into my /system/media but even when changing owners, group, permissions, etc I couldn't get it to work.
Does this need a custom kernel to allow for boot animation changes? I just cooked up a pulp fiction "SAY WHAT AGAIN!" animation and i was hoping to use it haha.
Well I made some progress. I replaced the samsungani file in /system/bin with the one from the zip in this thread.

The animation works but now I need to figure out the sound.
Since flashing the new JB MIUI, I have been unable to change to notification tone to a custom one.
Searching I came up with putting the file I want into the system notification tone bin, which didn't work.
Also saw somebody said the owner had no permissions, I am unaware on how to give the owner permissions.
When putting the tone in the system media notification bin , I get a tone unselected. I tried selecting the tone in theme manger mix and that didn't do anything either.

Yeah I went to put the custom files into the system, and it said I didn't have access. Flipped out at first, having a custom ROM w/o system rights. Might have to do with the root access setting (in settings) gonna mess around with it. I have a different phone (HTC One X, but the solution should be similar) For facebook messages and emails, custom works. But no matter what I do, I can't get sms noise to change. Still gonna try out a few more things I'll let you know if I figure something out.
This has probably been answered, so you can all laugh at me and point me in the right direction at the same time.
On my shiny new M8, Twitter and Facebook came preinstalled as system apps.
I took the latest version of each app (from the Play Store) and pushed my own hd-ish notification pngs into each apk. Then I signed them and tried to side load them on the M8. I got the conflicting signature error message. So I tried copying the META-INF and androidmanifest from the play store version to my modded version. Nothing.
So I tried uninstalling the system versions with RootUninstaller. The apps can be frozen, but not uninstalled. If I uninstall them, they just magically reappear when I exit RootUninstaller.
I am at a loss of what to try next. I know the simplest solution would be to uninstall the system version then side load my own modded version, but it seems the M8 doesn't want to get rid of it's system version of Twitter & Facebook. I've also tried using the SE Linux Mode changer before uninstalling and no dice.
Any suggestions?
You need a custom kernel, the system partition is not writable. There was a kernel module written by a dev here.
You could probably do it from a recovery too. Hmm. Maybe fastboot boot a custom recovery and use the file manager? Just guessing now. It will probably break OTAs, too, so keep a backup of them.
I don't have a custom kernel, I can write, delete, move anything I want in system. I'm rooted and unlocked boot loader with s-off, but thought all that was required to make changes to system is root?
Yeah, someone mentioned it only takes s-off to modify the system partition...but I could be wrong.

Maybe S-Off also disables the shadow system partition, but root is not enough, which is why the custom kernel module was written.
Okay, so...I've been searching for a good month or so on what and how to do to eventually fix this, no luck.
First of all, let me say I'm a complete noob in this stuff, and yes, i understand that I shouldn't have tampered with what I have no experience with, anyway;
I saw a thread on ported apps from the G4, and figured, "Heck, why not". Rooting and everything went smooth, until it said that I have to change the format (?) or something of the system/apps folder to something else than it already is.
That's where everything went in the wrong direction. The folder became invisible (?) and unreadable by the phone, even tho I could see it with the ES File Explorer, but couldn't with Root Browser. I tried changing the format of the system/apps folder to what it originally was and that didn't help.
So, now I have no system apps which I can use, I always get the "_____ has stopped working" notification. Bluetooth doesn't work, NFC, the remote app, can't change the lockscreen effects OR the lockscreen wallpaper, and many other apps and settings crash randomly.
The question is, can I find or get by any chance a copy of someone else's folder to copy it back to mine to fix this if it works this way. Or is the only way to fix this to flash back the stock ROM to the phone? Or perhaps is there a way to make the folder "usable" again by doing something I don't know? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Currently running Android 5.0 if that matters.
Edit: Just failed to mention that the phone is usable, not in any bootloops or whatsoever, the LG launcher is not working of course, but I somehow got the phone running with Nexus Launcher. The keyboard is the same, using Swiftkey. Yes, it's usable like this but not convenient, I need the system apps lol.
has anyone messed with or changed their boot animation? looking to change mine to something but wasnt sure where to start
I don't think there's much happening, at least when asked differently before:
Any cool boot animations out there?
I'm wondering if there's a nice animation to replace the ugly warning on a rooted device?

Maybe a custom ROM or Magisk module has something...

what files did you replace?

I only tried flashing through magisk. I've tried renaming orig boot animation.zip and placing the new one in there but that was also unsuccessful

yeah, it looks like flashing through magisk might be the only way, for some reason you cant change the root directory files manually, so i guess i gotta figure out how to make a magisk module
Push it thru fastboot is probably the way to do it.

Downloaded and wanted to make a backup of my stock bootanimation but the backup function doesn't seem to work. Any hints?
Edit: Figured it out, needed to browse to root/product/media for installation location and give the app root access. Gonna give it a shot now.
Edit 2: was able to make a backup but app is unable to install new bootanimation.zip no specifics
