My S2 is running Checkrom 6 and I am looking for away to mute the boot jingle just after the boot animation which continues in to the home screen. I have tried Silent Boot from the Market which doesn't work if the battery has been taken out, tried the silent boot patch from The Kitchen which doesn't work and also been looking for rename or delete the PowerOn.wav file in /System/Media but there is nothing with that file name there.
Find this in your build.prop file and change the '1' to a '0'
# To enable boot sounds set value to 1 and place /system/media/android_audio.mp3
# or edit /system/bin/bootsound with the name of your audio
ro.config.play.bootsound=1

Thanks for the info but I do not have that information in my file.
Check maybe one of the files in the root of your directory ' / ' init.rc or one of the others?

I think I am getting somewhere. The sound that is starting on boot is a ring tone called Over The Horizon, but even after deleting that sound it still plays. I have also wiped the cache and no other file with that name can be found. Is there a particular file that tells the file to play?

***sound DO NOT WORK on liberty Rom (dont ask me why cuz i really dont know),***
here, i made a flashable .zip that will change a file in /system/bin that allows sound. also included, it flashes the original file but just renamed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?17suy3rpp068v1m
tell me if it works. If it doesnt, just extract the file and pull the original, push the new one.
And sound DOES work on liberty. i know because i have sound
i also made the desc for you.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fvotspfoi24vtky
btw the sound file goes in /system/media. name it what you want, but the name change must be reflected in the desc. and if you dont want sound, just dont put that line in the desc.txt fie.
this is what i get after applying your pull - push - i appreciate the help

oh, also the boot animation on the phone is black now, there doesn't appear to be one. it goes from the boot logo to phone screen now.
i also re-edited the .desc to reflect the audible in the /system/media location
I've got the same issue. When I move the bootanimation.bin to system/bin and reboot, the boot animation is just a black screen. I've got gingerbread rooted and the boot animation works before I replace the stock bootanimation.bin, just no sound.
Also, do need to extract the audio file or leave it zipped and put it directly into the system/media directory?
One more thing. I listened to the audio file, and it doesn't sound like r2d2... it sounds like a Godzilla sound bite. =D

for gingerbread stock build do not change the bootanimation file located in /system/bin you will get the black screen.
sound is already enabled, just drop the sound file in /system/media/audio/notifcation folder
For starters I've been trying to change my boot animation, something I put together myself. Tool used to swap the repacked bootanimation.zip was Root Explorer and I do have Superuser/ root permissions and it all appeared to swap over without fuss but somehow doesn't show booting the phone. While I successfully killed off the old animation. mine is not appearing. The bootanimation file being used is .pngs with the original file structure, all I did was overwrite existing ones on my pc with my preferred images so no need to overwrite the existing desc.txt file. Any suggestions on where I boofed things?
The shutdown animation I can't find, browsed the system/media and data folders without joy. Could any of the learned members here be able to direct me to where the shutdown animation is hiding as I so hate telco provider logos left on phones not tied to contracts?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
This little tool did the trick for the boot animation and should work for the shutdown animation when I find the little sod.

Shut down animation is in the power off apk I believe I made it black and white in my theme back in the day
Thanks for the tip there Samno, looks I'm off googling now to see how to recompile Apks.
You can just drag and drop in winrar just don't change the compression settings should work as long as there named the same and in the right format, won't hurt for you to learn though
Learning by my errors by the looks of things, unpacked and repacked with Winrar and a rename to apk utility found here after doing my file swap and now getting reboots instead of shutdowns.
I should have kept an eye on this thread before charging off like a nutter.
Thanks again Samnos.
Sorted the reboot issues as I hadn't dumped off the original APK and just edited the archive to replace my ingloriously modified version..
Can someone please help me get custom boot sound on an Nexus S [i9020a]. I've tried all sorts of ROMS and Kernels and even an app called BAC Light to install a script to import the sound. Does anyone know exactly where the boot sound should be located? is it in /system/media?
or /system/etc? and does it have to be in ogg like the rest of the sounds or can it be a mp3? If anyone has a custom boot sound /w animation working on their Nexus S (Crespo) can you tell me how.
Thank You.

Put a file named PowerOn.ogg in /system/media/audio/poweron/.
And I'm pretty darn sure it should be an ogg and not an mp3. Just transcode it.

What doesn't work? Worked fine for me last time I tried... Make sure you don't rename the mp3 to ogg, you need to transcode it...
Oh and don't forget to set permissions. chmod 644 I believe.

I transcoded it, I moved it to /system/media/audio/poweron/ (there was no poweron directory so i created it but i didn't realize directories have permissions that need to be set too). What ROM/Kernel are you using? For me it's Jellyshot 4.2.1 JOP40D (AOSP) with Kernel [email protected].
Here is the desc.txt file inside bootanimation.zip notice it says to put transdroid.mp3 in /system/media
Code:

well i tried an old Gummy Rom ICS and there is an android_boot.mp3 in /system/media and when i changed it it changed the boot sound. So it can be done, but my guess is, if the ROM does not support boot sound animation it will not work. Having said that, I contacted the Dev or the App (BAC "Boot Audio Changer" and he told me the script that was written by a certain hockeyfamily737 needs to be updated. Does anyone have this script? and to that end, is anyone willing to update it to support Nexus S running JB?

Oh I just had a flashback about a /system/bin/bootanimation file being needed to loop I think?... I can't remember properly, it's been a while, but you might have luck searching for that.
To note I haven't tested this in Jellybean, just going from what I remember.
I have the Nexus 5, running CyanogenMod
I was trying to replace the boot animation, which I've done before, but the animation I made won't load whenever I boot the phone
I exported the animation into part0 and part1 as numbered .png files, and the desc.txt file contains the correct dimensions and instructions to play the animation
Whenever I load it into the system/media directory and edit the permissions to allow the phone to read the file, it doesn't work. I've tried everything I could think of, but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for what could be wrong here that's preventing the phone from reading the boot animation
Thanks!
try sticking it into /data/local/ with and without changing permissions.
It's pretty straight forward about how to change boot animation on the OPO and other android phones. Done it on the OPO's we have and G3. Animations and boot sounds play on G3, but only boot animation on OPO's. The boot sound will not play on the OPOs. I'm using the same sound file, PowerOn.ogg, for the G3 and OnePlus.
I've read many other posts, and specifically one where the boot animation creator put the PowerOn.ogg file into system/sounds and or system/sounds/poweron On my OPO's, stock 44s rooted, the system/sound directory did not exist, so I created it and those placements do not work. Permissions of the directories are correct. I've tried using the same directory as the G3, system/media/audio/ui, and permissions to 644. Does not work.
Can someone please advise where to put the sound file/how to get it going?
Thank you.
