[HOWTO] Kill/Change the TERRIBLE T-Mobile Startup/Shutdown sounds

timekillerj · Oct 20, 2011

This post assumes you have root

Instructions:

To change your bootup sound remove/replace :

Code:

/system/etc/PowerOn.wav

To change your shutdown sound remove/replace :

Code:

/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOff.wav

Hope that helps!

On a side note, the shutdown animation is stored in :

Code:

/system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg

and the startup animations are in :

Code:

/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg 
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

but I have not tried removing them (pretty sure it's safe if I remember correctly from the vibrant)

Does anyone have the Bionix startup/down sounds from the vibrant saved anywhere (Sounded like a lady talking)? That would be great. My search turned up one post but the link is dead.

Found it if anyone else wants it! The megaupload link still works. I didnt flash it but if you unpack the zip the audio files are in there. You will have to convert the shutdown to wav, it is currently in .ogg format. Move them to the folders listed above and make sure they are named to the file name you are replacing.

So to change the boot animation do i rename the bootanimation.zip to bootsamsung.qmg?

No, this is not possible yet. Once a kernel is made that will allow bootanimation.zip you will then be able to change the boot animation but not now with stock.

I've renamed the files to bypass them during shutdown/startup but there is still a delay. Is the startup delay part of the system loading or is it programmed to allow for the t-mobile startup animation? Basically, I'm wanting to know if there is a (simple) way to remove the blank screen delay when booting.

Replacing Files

I can see the files in Root Explorer - How do I go about actually replacing the files? Is there a command line utility? The directories mentioned are not visible in a windows explorer environment... Do I need to change the file and folder permissions using root explorer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just rename the files in root explorer. Put a " 1 " at the end of the files eg - bootsound.apk1 - it'll make the file not work and you can always delete the 1 and get the sound back.

If using root explorer, press the R/W button on the top of the app. It'll make the file system writable.

I was trying to flash this zip....and i get a error.

voidthedroid · Oct 27, 2011

Don't flash as it is not compatible but unpack the zip and copy the audio files to their proper destination. I will upload the correct format in a few
