Hi all, I am wondering how I can change the boot music for the GS3. Which file do I need to change, and what do I need to name it?
I apologize if there is already a thread. If so, please link me. Search isn't working for some reason for me.
/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
Either change it to a ".bak" extension to stop it from happening. Or delete it.
Or make your own sound file with that name and replace it.

Edit: poweroff.ogg above it is also your shutting down sound. I renamed the cameraclick.ogg to silence the camera when making single shots.
Hmm. I tried it, but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Anyone else have a suggestion? I have converted my file to .ogg, and saved it in system/media, system/media/audio system/media/audio/ui. None of these approaches have worked. I have tried re-naming mp3's and converting them. Has anyone had any success with this?

I've been trying to figure this out all day. I've tried many methods and none seem to work.
Just worked fine for me. I took a sound from a zelda soundboard I had already saved as a notification tone with the app (chest appears.ogg). Copied it to /system/media/audio/ui/ and then renamed it PowerOn.ogg. Rebooted and sure enough the zelda sound plays.
How long is the music you are trying? And when you rename it are you capitalizing the P in power and O in on? That is probably important to do.

Edit2: just used Ringdroid to cut an mp3 of Gangnam Style to a notification. Used first few seconds of the song. Then used a media converting app to make it an ".ogg" format. Copied to that /system/media/ahdio/ui directory. Renamed it PowerOn.ogg. And rebooted. My phone bumps Gangnam now fine when I reboot.
It's 14 seconds long. I put it through ffmpeg media encoder to get to to ogg (I also tried an online encoder with my pc), then copied it here. The screenshot is attached.

Noob question, but do this require ROOT or just a specific app to access the files to change.
Thanks for the info.

I just used a file converter app on my phone. Got it in the market for a few bucks. Odd that it doesn't work for you.
Upload the file in mp3 to drop box or email me it at jciampi at Gmail at com. I will try to convert it and use it.

Yep. To be able to access the root directory and make changes to the system folder you need root permission. Then a file explorer app like Root Explorer or ES File explorer to move the file there and rename it

What ROMS and kernels are you using? From what I understand you need a kernel that has the boot sound option enabled.

i am working on trying to figure out how to make my phone lock and unlock like the mgs codec. i have got the files on the phone and it works but is way to loud. i have attached the files i used if someone with more audio editing experince wants to take a crack at it.
the files have to be in .ogg format and be labeled Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. i used advanced wma workshop to convert the files from mp3.
to put them on your phone if anyone wants this
1 reboot into recovery
2 mount /system
3 open cmd and nav to your sdk/tools folder
4 pull system/media/audio/ui (this will backup the files before you replace them)
5 copy the backed up ogg files from your sdk/tools folder to another safe location and put the modified ogg files into the sdk/tools folder
6 push Lock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
7 push Unlock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
8 unmount /system and reboot
also if anyone does do this could someone upload the backed up files for me i didn't think about doin the pull till i wrote this up and i don't feel like doing a nandroid restore to get them back.
edit my buddy confirmed that i had these backwards i guess that is what i get for not listening to the files first. i reuploaded with correct file names
what if you just took the audio files and decreased the volume of the actual file?

fwiw you can adb push these while the phone is running if you adb remount before it (need s-off)
so i tried this through the mount/system through clockmod and was able to push this files but it will not switch to the files i pushed, just uses the system defaults any suggestions? im thinking of just overwritting the rom zip with the new zip sounds and reflashing sounds good?

hey I used rootexplorer as well but i have a question because it does appear to be working. so did you MOVE or COPY all the files (mp3 + ogg) into the UI folder? It does not show up.

i firsted removed the defaults and moved the new files works like a charm but for some strange reason the two sounds merge when i lock phone and the unlock works great not sure whats up may restore originals and try again but first attempt worked fine with the deleting and moveing, i was adding a boot animation and before i knew it both play? no biggie really they overlap each other so its not some drawn out tone

Make sure you did not put the .mp3 and .ogg file in the same place just the .ogg

Love it, I have never replaced a bootscreen. But I think I will have to try for this one.
Okay, I'm stupid.
How do I flash this?
Is bootanimation.zip in this thread the original one?
Do i just flash it (install from sd card) in cwm recovery?

You can also use root explorer. You don't even need a computer to do it. Just download the zip to your SD card, and copy it with a root explorer. Go into data>local as R/W paste, and then reboot.

thats the easiest way to do it. ill update the post
SO in root explorer you just go to /data/local... and just place the bootanimation.zip there.. Then unzip the android_audio.zip, grab the mp3 file and place it in the same place?

you are correct and than reboot and you will have the bootanimation with sound.

I cant believe more members havent thanked you
Working beautifully on my Inspire, thanks alot
can you use this to get sound on all the bootanimations.zip?
yes you can just place everything in the right folder.
Assuming we're running stock we just put it into System/Customize/Resource
Is this correct?
Also If we don't want sound I assume just don't put the file in?
EDIT: I got it successfully. "System/Customize/Resource" is the correct location if you're on Stock based rom's. It's pretty hilarious.
I got no sound. Should I to rename the android_audio.mp3 file? What about the permissions?
this is F***ing AWESOME!
I am getting no sound even with the mp3 in the local folder. Used root explorer, moved anime to local and cut mp3 over to local and both in the same folder and no sound. Rebooted twice just to make sure and no go. Hmmmm

I found this boot animation in another thread (can't remember where I found it as I've been using it on multiple phones now). To install this copy the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder. NOTE: You will need root to do this.

I made a sound file to go with this boot animation, this is the first time I've ever tried anything like this and I used Audacity. It plays decently well on my G2x, sometimes the end gets buggy for some reason. Oh well, I'm attaching it and if anyone wants the original test file I made, I'll email it to you. In the file is a .mp3 file so you can listen to it first, and the .ogg file that you put in the /system/media/audio/poweron folder

Ok, here it is. I added some images, and tweaked it a bit. If you don't like the image at the end (the thumbnail I attached above) remove the images 155 and above. On my G2x there is a bit of lag / black screen at the end, tried to fix it but never figured it out. It only lasts about 2 seconds, maybe it won't be happen yours. I've packed the .zip and .ogg in a .rar file, just place the respective files where they normally go. Hope you like it.

I use Android Commander. http://androidcommander.com/ You have to have root access, and the it's a bit weird right now since we still have an S-On image. It needs root access, so I just run 1-click root before I use the program. Probably an easier way, but I'm too lazy to find it right now.
You could also probably use Astro.

1)Curious...Are you running CM7? I haven't reinstalled this animation after upgrading, but I have noticed my phone boots faster.
2)So are you saying the sound isn't syncing or it's synced, it just gets cut off early? I'm guessing it's the second one, but I'm asking just in case.
3)Try editing the desc.txt file. It should currently say:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Change it to this first:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
If that doesn't work try:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 0 5 part1
I'm sorry I can't try it out myself, I won't be able to work on such until the adb issue gets fixed in the CM7 nightly.
So recentley i updated my Sky ICS to release 5 and 16ish. I realised i had no sound. So i found a way to get them back. On the forum it says to go into the 16ish.zip and pull out the media file and paste it on your sd. So i did. I put the ringtones in the ringtones folder, the alarms in the alarms folder, and the notifications in the notif.
My problem is the UI's. I can't put the ui sounds in the ui file.
i found a way to fix it but i dont know how. i'm currently using astro file manager as well as SManager.
i go into /system/media/audio/ui and i try to paste it but neither program allows me to.
So what i was wonder is if some one can help me push it through adb or if they could create a fix.zip that all i have to do is flash it so that it can push the ui's

Ok when I want to send a jpg or txt or whatever over bluetooth is easy but when I try to send an apk or iso file the bluetooth option isn't even there. After searching the net the options are change the extension to .txt or something that it allows or use an app.
My question is is there a way like a MOD or a custom ROM like CM to allow the sharing of these files natively like you go to your favorite file manager (I use Astro file manager) select the file and share it.
There's this app.
And there's also an explanation here that explains why we can't send too much big files over BT.

So this can be done. Many Roms modify the bluetooth.apk to allow receiving of any file type. All you need to do is find a modified Bluetooth.apk and then replace the existing one in /system/app and then set the perms to RW r r with owner root root.
Cm11 allows sending and receiving any file type so I tried the Bluetooth.apk from the hammerhead image. Unfortunately cm11 is too different from stock so Bluetooth kept crashing.
The other option is for someone to modify the stock app for us and repost it. The following thread gives an example of what to do. Essentially you have to recompile the bluetooth.apk from source code of the aosp. Before doing this you must modify constants.java in the bluetooth source.
I'm not sure how to do this so any help would be much appreciated.
