Sorry if this doesn't belong here, I can change audio easily with stock based roms but nothing I've found is working for CM based roms, preferably CM9 if possible. I don't know anything about this, looked up multiple threads none worked I tried the changes they said, editing lines in build.prop, init.local.rc and a way that says to run a script in Android terminal, everything is added/modified I get no audio still

There's an app called BAC lite, it shows an option to install boot audio binary and tells to use android_audio.mp3 in /system/media/ I haven't tried it with an MP3 or even a properly named ogg but I'd say to give it a shot for a possible quick, easy fix.
Did it work?

I couldn't get it to work, app changed boot animation fine but when I tried audio it said it installed the file but still heard nothing during boot
Can't remember where I found this procedure but it does work for me using CM7. I would guess it would work for CM9 and above as well.

Another user asked for this, and I helped him through it, so I decided to post it here so everyone can have access to it. I didn't create the file, just came across it one day being bored..I digress.

*NOTE: Anything in brackets is either description of what is happening or an action you need to perform; don't type in anything in brackets*
What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Apparently some people had issues with the first link, so I uploaded it again. Download that file, place on your sdcard.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and save it to the system/media folder using a file manager that lets you access system directories. I use Root Browser Lite (you can get from Play Store).
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter] *you can store the bootsnd.sh file to any folder on your SD card, so use this command to navigate to it*
ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
If your having trouble getting sounds to play this should fix the problem.

Delete any instances of it.
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.

I also check his ROM , in his bootanmimation file doesn't have any sound party
just this:
"480 854 29

p 5000 0 part1

but it does have bootaudio file in /System/Media
so I wonder it's other file that controls sound which I can not locate...

I just tried it and it worked, I have a custom MP3 playing during the boot animation as we speak. I'm not on the stock ROM but I'm sure that doesn't matter one bit.
What I did was follow the instructions:
Copy bootsnd.sh to the root
Copy android_audio to /system/media
Run bootsnd.sh in Terminal Emulator. Note, you need to change the permissions of this file using the following command and run it as such:
Code:
# su
# chmod 775 bootsnd.sh
# ./bootsnd.sh
Reboot and it worked. Of course you have to be root for all of these actions but I'm sure you are that.
So, try again.

Gosh ... still no good
i did set permission to all files , includs audio file , zip file and this sh file ,all file that may related i set permission to 777
but , don't konw why , still no audio when i reboot
And you're sure that you executed the bootsnd.sh file correctly? Ie; Terminal Emulator won't output anything but just show a new empty line after doing ./bootsnd.sh.
777 is not necessary btw, 775 is enough Not sure which zip file you mean, but it should only matter for bootsnd.sh because that has to be executed.
And you're doing all of this in the root directory of your phone yes? Just to make sure that you're not making these folders etc on your SDCard because that won't work.

If the "sh bootsnd.sh" returned no errors in the terminal, you did everything as it should.
You're sure that your audio file is called "android_audio.mp3" and nothing else?
If yes to all of those, I'm not really sure what's preventing it from working.

What kernels do have boot sound?

I was able to get sound...tried lots n lots. There is a TON posted here on the subject...found my solution in the HTC forums. Don't have the link handy but search CM7 boot sound. There is a file called bootsnd.sh that will append the necessary files and create the bootsound app needed. To finally get this to work I reflashed a new nightly of CM7. This also removed Trinity kernel...so maybe that was mucking things up. Ill reflash Trinity and see.
But to recap ...yes boot sound on LG g2x with cm7 is a go.

Taken from somewhere here in xda. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048231)
I cleared cache and dalvic using CWM.
I flashed a fresh CM7 nightly using CWM.
I Followed terminal emulator instructions...I'm sure adb from command line will work also. I used root explorer to copy android_audio.mp3 (don't forget to set system folder as R/W with root explorer.
1) search for and Download the bootsnd.sh file. Save it to the root directory of your SD Card on your Device.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 (needs to be mp3 format) and then place in your adb directory.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls (to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh)
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like or know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well (Mount the /system as R/W First). Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
Alternate method:
For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:
navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh
Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method

Using a utility like Root Explorer (A paid app but worth the 4$, there may be a free alternative), makes this a trivial task...simply click the "Make R/W" will make the system directory ...you guessed it "Read/Writable". Normally its "Read Only" (R/O).
Im not 100% sure about this (im sure ill be corrected) as Root Explorer has made me lazy, but using ADB and issuing the command ADB Remount, will make the file system R/W (per the ADB Wiki adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write)
So using ADB to push your files, make all your edits on your local machine, then put them in your ADB directory, and issue commands as follows:
ADB remount
ADB push build.prop /system
ADB push init.local.rc /system/etc
ADB push bootsound /system/bin
ADB push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
Grr after I tried it it still doesn't work!!!
EDIT:Im reflashing ROM in case.

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)
Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?
If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.

You'll need root and a way to mount the /system partition rw. I do everything through adb,
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp path/to/new/bootanimation.zip /system/media
# busybox chown root:root /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# busybox chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# reboot
There are "root explorer" tools that can probably do it as well.

Amigos. Use a root explorer like ES File Explorer by ES Strong. After doing so hit menu button, settings, scroll down to where it says root settings then tap on it, hit the first check box that says for rooted phones only. Then hit the box that says mount system, and also the other box that says make system write able or up to root directory. Once you have do so please hit the back button twice to go back to where you can see the files on your SD card. Once you can do see your SD card files please tap the back button once more and after doing so you shouldn't see all your phone's system files and once you can see them scroll down and open the folder called "system" not sys. I repeat the folder called "system"
Once inside the folder? Hard click on the folder called "Media" and hit copy. Then navigate back to your SD card and past it somewhere on your SD card as a back up just in case you ever want to revert back to the cm9 or whatever boot animation you are currently using. Now once you have backed up the folder called media. Please navigate back to your system folder/media and open it once again. After doing so delete the boot animation zip folder that is inside of it, no worried because that is why you made a back up of the folder on your SD card for then after you delete the one inside system please move this boot animation zip folder to system. By this boot animation zip I mean the cm10 boot loader to system. Capish? Then after doing so exit your file browser and restart your phone and watch as the amazing cm10 boot logo pops up

Try fixing permissions. Either reboot to recovery or change them using a root explorer. Long press on the file, go to properties, permissions should be rw-r-r
Make sure your ROM and/or Kernel support custom boot animations.
IDK why it wouldn't. Its CM9. It supports theme chooser. I've had another bootanimation on there since i've got the ROM. So IDK. I've looked in a few different places and downloaded quite a few of the same animation to the same effect. Checked the permissions and they were set right in the program. I'm fixing permissions in TWRP now. I'll repost after it finishes.
Still nothing after the permission fix. Hmmm.
I manually copy them in TWRP. Some installers don't work right. I think they don't mount system, just try and copy it to and without it being mounted properly, it won't work.
If you have an installer for a boot animation, open the zip and get the bootanimation.zip file and put it on your SD card. Otherwise, just the boot animation there.
Now you use TWRP recover option, or ES file explorer.
With ES File Explorer, you have to goto setting, make sure root options are on and mount system is enabled to allow writing to the system folder.
With TWRP, go to mount and make sure "unmount system" is checked. This means its mounted.
In TWRP, go to advanced, file manager, in ES file explorer, you're already in a file manager.
If you want to backup your current bootanimation, navigate to system->media folder. Press and hold on the bootanimation.zip to copy it. Navigate to a temp folder on your card and paste it.
Now go to your bootanimation.zip you want to use, press and hold on the file to copy it, navigate back to system->media and paste it. Reboot and you should be good. The main idea is to use some sort of method that will let you write to the system folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to the system->media folder.

Yep -- I've run into installers that don't check the mounts first. Including one I used to use for Hefe Kernel, I have to admit. It is especially troublesome if you "stack" installs and the previous one "helpfully" unmounts /system.

Ya, I've learned to check things more, do things manually and become a lot more comfortable with doing stuff like that with my phone and it helps figuring stuff out and getting stuff to work how I want it.
I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

how to i enter in my phone's system dir using command line??
what commands to enter?
thankfully i am able to atleast see files and folders in my phone's system using http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Why would you enter in your system dir.
Btw now that you have access to your phone, download rootexplorer or es file explorer and you'll have access to /data, /system and more

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot
problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
Peace \/
