(boot audio mods)- just flash and enjoy :) - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

hey guys i have made and tested some boot audios for the p6200 and the p6210 they all work and are reformatted to work with the booting up of the tab
NOTE: I am not responsibly for the bricking of your tab or nuclear war so don't have a go at me if you mess it up haha
REQUIREMENT: you must have root to make this work or you could end up in a messy situation haha i say could i mean i don't know what will happen if you are not rooted.
oh i will add more so just hold on a bit

Hey so basically i use cwm to flash the zip files? Am on DXKL3 Malaysia firmware rooted with cwm.
Thanks & Cheers!

thanks man ur awesome

How about a silent boot sound? Or is there a way to turn off the boot sound without turning the system volume to zero?

rename poweron.wav or delete it. recommend renaming in /system/etc/
boot logos,: Im guessing from my experience so far they are going to be in param.lfs and/or C-header code format in kernel. both are nearly impossible to change and will take a lot of work but can be done.
I will probably look more into this in the coming week. There very well may be one in each location I mentioned. Images will likely not be able to be much bigger than stock, which probably isnt much.
the one in the kernel will not be easily changeable for each person , where as hopefully a hex edit hack would allow us to change the one in param.lfs with root explorer on the fly.
I already searched param.lfs for logo.jpg(common for samsung) and came up empty.
Next I will try a script for extracting images from param.lfs
Happy Hacking!!

lol... record a silent sound in media recorder...
here.. silent for you... in surround...
oh btw... the file name is 1_Power_on.ogg or wav

thanks, yeah I knew the name wasn't exact, just typing from memory. Should have been able to find it.

Dazed and confused...
OK there is a very high likely hood that I am doing something highly stupid but I gotta ask why this isn't working for me.
I have a P6210 that is rooted. In CWM I go to the "Install zip from sd card" then choose either "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from internal scard" depending whether I want to chose a zip from the internal or external sd card. I then choose the appropriate zip and away I go correct?
If that is the case for some strange reason this isn't working. I would really like to use the silent boot because I hate the stock boot up tones.
This is the output when I select any zip to install from this thread:
-- Installing: /sdcard/silent_boot.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Reverting back to stock.
Wiping dalvik cache.
Formatting cache.
Copying Files
Setting permissions.
Install Complete.

hmmm... yup that not working... use root explorer and try go to root system/etc and rename the 1_Power_on files to something else... and see if its working
btw i re-create the files... try this

[Req] Boot animation- PS 1 startup - Success! Request fulfilled

Edit 4-3-2011: Request has been fulfilled by kpkimmel. See this thread for his ps1 and Sega boot screens.
preview of ps1 boot screen below.
I saw someone made a boot animation with the PS3 startup screen and it made me really nostalgic for the playstation 1 startup (both bios and os screens). In my opinion, the PS1 startup was the best ever! Can anyone make the PS1 startup below into a boot animation? Preferably with sound? To me the sound is the best part!
Thanks in advance to anyone who would indulge a hopeless girl geek!
lmao OMG!!!! ... :,) that was a blast yea i'd love that
give this a try, push to your phone, should work, didnt' test it just kinda rushed it...so hopefully you enjoy. Thanks.
Also i uploaded two different ones, they are the same boot animation just tweaked a little bit because some evos boot slower or faster than others..so try one and if it works great, if not, try the other one.
Also included flashable.zip so you can flash from recovery.
gahhh this just reminded of FFVIII
Thanks KP! This is exactly what I was looking for! That was really fast and I really appreciate it. Enjoy that beer!

Thank you, your donation is much appreciated as i am attempting to start development for Sprint Android devices fulltime.
So im running CM7 #33 and just tried flashing the third down "PS1_flashable.zip" that didnt work. So I tried just using root explorer and moving the first lnk into the system->media and deleting my other boot animation and that didnt work either any body can point me in the right direction?
None of these attachments work.
Matt, what part failed? Did you get an error message while flashing? I think if you are doing this manually you have to move both the SPC_animation_final.mp3 sound file and the bootanimation.zip included in the ps1_bootanimation.zip file into /system/customize/resource/. That's where they are on my system and it works fine.

Odd. I tried both of the flashables and they both worked. AmonRa complained that the zip wasn't signed but I just turned the signature check off and it flashed without a problem.
Thanks for the files.... brings back the great games that came along with PS

I was always under the impression that the bootanimation.zip went in,\system\media
I hot it working now, just without sound.
the sound should work just fine, not sure if your putting in the /system/media part if the spc_animation_final.mp3 has a different name or not, i'll look it up and get back

Yea I tried flashing it first and it did give me a weird message appeared but it did say it installed fine. However that didn't work so I tried manually putting it in my System->Media section and that was no go.
I did unzip one of the files and put both the SPC.mp3 file and the boot animation.zip in my System-media and it worked this time only without the sound
^
But that could be because im running CM7 and I don't think it can play sounds while booting up, But I could be wrong?
Also it was pretty short loading up and was black screen for the better part of it rebooting any way to get it to repeat or load up slower so it stay's on the scrren longer.
Whew...I do love it though! So thanks
to slow the boot seq just go into the bootanimation.zip open the desc.txt and change the 60p to a lower number.

[MOD][CWM][GB] Galaxy S II Boot/Shutdown Animations w/Sound

These are the Galaxy S II Boot and Shutdown animations with corresponding sounds (GINGERBREAD ONLY).
Instructions for CWM:
Put GB_S2_Boot-and-Shutdown.zip on the root of your SD card
Power off your phone
Hold Volume Up & Volume Down while pressing the power button to enter CWM
Choose "Install zip from sd card"
Choose "Choose zip to install"
Select GB_S2_Boot-and-Shutdown.zip
Confirm selection
Choose "***go back***"
Choose "reboot phone"
Enjoy new animations!
If, for some really strange reason you're *not* running drhonk's amazing KG4 kernel w/red cwm & ext4 support, then you will need to remount /system as read/write, push the contents of /system from the zip file to /system on your phone, and then make sure all the files have the right permissions (644 or 0644).

In a terminal or adb shell, the command is chmod

You'll have to remount /system as read/write first, though (I use root explorer for such things). Did you try just re-flashing the zip, first?
thanks it worked great! Didn't like that it actually says SGS II, but other than that it's a good boot animation... better than stock pink gay one.
**presses thanks button**
works great! Glad that the tmobile epileptic pink text screen is now gone for me.
I flashed twice and still no sound? Well I shouldn't say no sound cuz I heard the sound 5 times outta 20 only works sumtimes any suggestions its not that big of a deal as long I it ain't that gay pink Tmobile one lol

That's standard Samsung Recovery. You need to do this from ClockworkMod recovery (CwM).
Yeah I'm stock, but rooted. I'm not comfortable flashing custom roms yet
I don't really see that much difference or enough difference to flash a custom rom
But I really dont like the pink "gay" boot screens

Yeah, what he said If you pull apart the .zip file I have here, you can easily push all of these files to their appropriate places, yourself.
It's worth mentioning, though, that the shutdown file in my zip won't work with your phone, as you're not running gingerbread. The shutdown animation for Froyo is actually a series of .png images, a configuration file, and a .ogg sound file.... There are at least two threads on these forums that explain how to replace the froyo shutdown animation with the one from the stock Galaxy S
Gorgeous animation. Thanks!

The file didn't work on my phone when flashed ; From the looks of the update script the creator hasn't set the permissions correctly and has simply told the script to move the files from the .zip file to the system which wont work unless the system is mounted...Manually moving the files may work...
EDIT- Also, the thread you posted to is a copied version(with a rubbish .zip/cwm script.) of this guys mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226
DON'T FLASH IT! I manually mounted /system in recovery and then flashed the file.
Now I'm in BOOTLOOP!
You may be able to fix that by setting the permissions of the files ; this may be a long process ; I'm dont really know much about these things so i may be wrong.
Tried this on CM7
Works pretty well

I'm also wondering why so many users in the original thread say it sounds better than without using it it couldn't even get loaded by system without setting proper permissions...
I flashed the zip easily after downloading it on a stock-based .62 rom. idk why others are having problems. About the sound..I think it sounds better but I'm not sure because of my weak memory but I definitely do not hate how my headphones sound right now.
yea I flashed this no problem too thanks man!
manually mount /system and done flashing it.
though I can't really tell what's the difference than before...
Flashed fine, I think it's made a difference not too sure though. Thanks anyway.

How is it possible, guys that this mod works in your phones?
Have you tried manually mounting /system partition and then flashing .zip file? Flashing .zip without manual mounting DOES NOT PUSH the files to /system because script that installs the files is wrong! It doeas not mount /system itself so that NONE of the files are pushed!
I tried flashing with mounted /system on .42 and .62 ROM and both went dead and bootlooping...

Yup, most people "flashing" the file instead of moving them over are probably hearing what they want to hear thus the occasional"not sure if it made a difference" posts ; I'm not installing this either way since a good music play i.e power amp can do the same thing or maybe even better (according to some websites).

So chances are good that its not actually working? If you mounted system in CWM and afterwards phone went into bootloop, wouldnt it do the same if I manually swap these files individually? I just flashed it(without mounting system) and I see no change. Will this work with SE music player?

That is incorrect. If you turn up the bass on poweramp it sounds muffled, even with beats which have an amazing quality and the music isn't even playing that loud when compared to my brothers iPhone. I would assume that this flashable gives us an update sound lib to support this.

SK4G CWM not working? Intro screen location? Help a Noob!

Okay, so I am rather new to Rooting and Development. I had a couple issues and questions I need addresses for the Sidekick 4g.
First, I am having a problem getting the CWM recovery to work. I have already Rooted my phone via the SuperOneClick app. When I replace the recovery file in system/bin, with the update.zip on the root of my SD card, I flash the CWM recovery from ROM manager. When I reset my device holding Vol -, +, and power key, it still brings me to the Blue colored Samsung Recovery. WTF?
Second, I am a photoshop-head, and I wanted to customize my device. I have already located the 78 PNG files that compose the power-off video animation and altered them to create my own power-off sequence. But I am trying to locate the image file for the T-Mobile Sidekick 4g Samsung screen that comes on when you initially power-on the device.
also, when I replaced the PNG files for the power-off animation, it plays a bit more slowly when powering off. I believe this is because the PNG files I replaced the originals with must me larger in file size. The dimensions and resolution are still the same. anybody know a good way to reduce PNG file size? this one isnt as important I could prob. figure that out on my own with a little trial-and-error.
BUT I NEED THIS CWM WORKING! HELP!
1st ever post on here
In the blue recovery it should say something like install zip. You have to click that an install the update.zip file on your SD card.

for some reason on the blue recovery I dont have that option? just re-install packages, clear cache, reboot, etc. no install from zip option. I thought that option was only available on the red recovery, which is why im trying to get that one. I replaced the recovery file in system/bin already multiple times and still no luck.

[Q] CWM recovery flashing (stuck) - What's your fav SK4G set up?

Hey all! Glad to be apart of the sidekick 4g xda community. i just recently got a SK4G from ebay for 45.99. Works flawlessly. (after a return of a 70$ one that wi-fi didn't work - which ima use groove ip lite to call for free w/my GV number, text with GV app)
So I'm trying to flash CWM recovery to flash custom roms. Here is where I am stuck at:
I'm on the Kv1 stock firmware
I am also rooted
I moved the recovery file to system/bin
i am in a pickle trying to figure out how to install the recovery.zip within the 400mb-ish all-in-one pack i got from an awesome member who compiled it and uploaded it through dropbox
do i flash with odin? does mobile odin work for this device?
i'm trying to navigate it /internal_sd/ the root file so that when i reboot to the system recovery it will flash the voodoo CWM.
but i cant find /internal_sd/ with root explorer. should try es strongs? or just regular odin?
tl;dr - this is exactly where i am stuck
whats the best recovery without having to deal with the mounts?
kinda annoying but after i find a rom i like i dont plan to flash a lot, but would like to try a few roms to find my liking.
what is your fav set up? as in
-whats your fav rom?
-whats your fav kernel?
-whats your fav modem?
any extra advice and everything will be appeciated

Welcome. I personally use the red CWM recovery and the Glorious Overdose series of ROMs. I had been using TLS' G.O. v3.2 Bulky until I recently decided to go back to G.O. v1 and flash a few newer things onto it. So, my phone is a franken-phone right now, but it works well.
awesome thanks! currently i am having trouble getting into CWM recovery - orange text. i mount system, backed up recovery, overwrote recovery, placed update.zip at the root of microSD, then used quick reboot to go into recover and i get a csc error thing. something about e signature verification failed. i am rooted, usb debugging, and using a 32microHCSD. heard that i might have to use a non - HDSD? i have a normal 2gb one to try. any ideas on what i may be doing wrong?

How are you going about overwriting the recovery file? One thing that took me a while to do on mine was that I had to mount the internal storage as read/write in order for the recovery file to be really overwritten. You'll need a file explorer such as ghost commander (free on Google Play) that can do that. The other thing is maybe the recovery file you have is bad. I don't think so, but you never know. You could also try holding down the volume buttons and the power key when the phone is off to get into recovery.

I could not for the life of me get Ghost Commander to overwrite the recovery file, although it otherwise looks like a solid, clean app. I tried Root Browser and it worked perfectly. Most likely it was user error, whatever the issue with GC was but in case it does that to you there's another app that might do the job.

Hey all! Glad to be apart of the sidekick 4g xda community. i just recently got a SK4G from ebay for 45.99. Works flawlessly. (after a return of a 70$ one that wi-fi didn't work - which ima use groove ip lite to call for free w/my GV number, text with GV app)
So I'm trying to flash CWM recovery to flash custom roms. Here is where I am stuck at:
I'm on the Kv1 stock firmware
I am also rooted
I moved the recovery file to system/bin
i am in a pickle trying to figure out how to install the recovery.zip within the 400mb-ish all-in-one pack i got from an awesome member who compiled it and uploaded it through dropbox
do i flash with odin? does mobile odin work for this device?
i'm trying to navigate it /internal_sd/ the root file so that when i reboot to the system recovery it will flash the voodoo CWM.
but i cant find /internal_sd/ with root explorer. should try es strongs? or just regular odin?
tl;dr - this is exactly where i am stuck
whats the best recovery without having to deal with the mounts?
kinda annoying but after i find a rom i like i dont plan to flash a lot, but would like to try a few roms to find my liking.
what is your fav set up? as in
-whats your fav rom?
-whats your fav kernel?
-whats your fav modem?
any extra advice and everything will be appeciated

Please remember this phone has issues with rooting (may be a problem with flashing new roms
The locations
/system/bin
/sdcard/
I stick with ric's nexus jb rom for many reasons it runs smoother then glorious overdose v5 an v4 (v5 is great an v4 is great as well but not for me personally)
Cwm red voodoo is stock with most roms but you need yellow to flash
Kj2 newer is ussually better
(Gb kills keyboard right now so if you want gb you give up keyboard for awhile)
If you have issues you should go stright into them (I don't like reading >.< ill try to help like I have been an I'm sure any user will be glad to help (we need the community strength)
P.s. root browser works flawlessly
Most explores need you to be rooted ill post another file explorer in a bit
If you need the file ill upload each one with a readme txt file (if that's allowed) doubt its not c:
if I can't upload the files you can go into android development an go to sticks or you can go to the ref of mine on buttom of the page

If you get error the best thing to do is odin to kg2 or kd1 (recommend kg2 as its simple [r] to use )
Then re root an it should fix issues overwrite the recovery in system bin .. then you can pull battery put back in hold volume an power for 4-5 secounds should boot into recover (download mode pull batter hold track pad an power for 4-5 sec)
