[D] Custom boot sound? Is this possible? - Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development

I understand that I'm am asking at the wrong thread, but I think this question is suitable to be put here. Of course, the administration or moderators have full rights to move this thread.
My question is, is it possible to add/install a custom boot sound in the SGS Plus especially for custom roms ? Because, I remember the time that you hear the boot sound when you boot up your phone.
So I was wondering if there is a way to do so. Because, to me, since we can put custom boot animation why not put custom boot sound especially GB, ICS and JB roms?
Problem is, I have no idea how to do so. Or rather the main question here is whether is it possible to do so in the SGS I9001?
Any idea guys? Any help is totally appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Edit: Another question is, even there is a way to do so, can it be done in the Stock and Custom ROMS?

So you know that's the wrong section for this thread, why did you start it? There's a question & answer section in the Galaxy S forum which is also used for our phone.
The last few days were a lot of questions threads started here... This is a development forum, for roms, mods, kernels and nothing more.

I think nabilimran is asking that about CM9 and CM10 roms.
I think custom boot sound is not supported on i9001 CM9/10 (no one of those developped starting from ivendor and arco have bootsound feature [or at least to me it's not clear how to enable it])
so, the question is: is possible to enable bootsound on ICS/JB, or is needed to implement somethig is missing?
The only CM9 with customizable bootsound I've seen is AOKP built by cribert

I just wanted to ask in a developer's perspective. Because they know the phone inside out.

Hi
Just change poweron.wav in System/etc

****ed general section. Is this development?

Yes of course this is possible
in the kernel's ramdisk (init.rc)
Copy the playsound file from a samsung rom and place it in the custom roms /system/bin folder (permissions RWX-RX-RX)
put this in init.rc:
Code:
service playsound /system/bin/playsound
user media
group system
disabled
oneshot
And put PowerOn.wav in /system/media
Done

Ok, finally a good answer, but I think for people that is not able to play with those things it's no easy to do.
maybe some dev has to implement it on his kernel rom or in standard kernel.

So that's a question for develpment section

Well it's actually pretty easy, I wrote a tutorial earlier on how to mod a stock rom, everything you need is in that tutorial, when you're in the kitchen you need to press:
(when you've setup an working folder with your boot.img inside)
0 then 20 > then w to extract kernel
and b to build kernel
But it's an old version that I use so it may not be accurate (the tutorial is tho)

[TWEAK] S.A.S / Samsung Adrenaline Shotv6

These are tweaks to improve the smoothness and performance of the phone
Original Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
Nope wont download on the phone.
1st link starts but fails
2nd has about 100 redirects then stops and says too many redirects.
Please just post it at the normal places.
Or cant u juat attach it here?
Also.. How about listing what kernels should work instead waiting for people to smoke their phones.
Example... Does the stock 2.3.4 kernel that most people are on work? - i am going to say no because you say it requies Ext4 and 2.3.4 is not that right?
Ext 4 is really only used on AOSP correct? Cyanogen stuff
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
edit -
just d/l on a pc ok. - i really hate the way these phones dont download **** properly.
All stock roms are rfs voodoo fixes that and re formats to EXT4. cyanogenmod uses EXT4 and something else i think, i dunno im still pretty nooby
Would also second what kernels work for stock rooted GB eh09? IS there an voodoo kernel out yet? Didnt source just hit yesterday? If so you guys are blazin

we dont have a voodoo kernel yet and im not sure if our stock lernel supports the init'd yet but it should soon...and yes...source dropped for us!!!
if you guys have no init.d support yet thats fine, just push the following files manually
/system/bin
/system/lib
dont push the rest till you have what you need
but the other tweaks should still improve your phone

Try reading what I said and maybe you'll understand.
Giventhatcm7 is the only thing this will work for i think you need to clearly state this in the title or the first line of the thread.
Unlessi read wrong this is for gingerbread and cm7 is the only rom/kernel to have the requirements he has layed out.
Also, how about adding the correct flashable zip to your first post for those who are not on a cm7 based gingerbread rom.
That way we dont have to fuk our devices by trying manual pishes that dont always work.
Just a suggestionas i would love to have this on the uscc stock 2.3.4 gingerbread since that is all thats available and it seems like the mez is dead on xda

I'm still wondering why you referred to yourself in third person.
which kernel?
is this kernel supported, and is this the proper file system... I believe I am running ext4 with cyanogen 7?
2.6.35.7-gf63f6d6
And when you say "clean out init.d", do you mean delete the files in /ext/init.d before applying these tweaks?
Thanks in advance

Why do people care about voodoo? It's not "coming" any time soon. The entire idea of voodoo lagfix is to convert the filesystem to ext4 which is faster than the stock format. That makes things run smoother, faster, etc. than stock. Now on gingerbread we have a completely different filesystem called MTD which is even better than ext4; thus if we ever got a voodoo lagfix kernel it would be downgrading our phones.

[Q] Building custom ROM could use a couple pointers...

Like the title says I'm working on building a ROM of my own. I am new to this but am not stupid. I've looked around the forums and have bookmarked quite a few threads that will help me. My question is, how would I go about putting a custom CWM flashing screen in? Like on Eman..and ZTR where it says Collective, and flashing modem, etc. etc. And if anyone can point me to a better "ROMS for dummies thread that would be great Thanks for any help
Edit: Scratch that question, just found it lol. But any pointers will still be appreciated
So you are set?

For camera I believe you will also need to pull the camera firmware apk too-so you need to put the modded camera.apk and camera firmware.apk in your from (both can be obtained from any of bigfaus roms
For epm you need more than just the settings apk, you also need to replace the frameworks that come with epm (policy.jar, framework-res.apk, and framework-res.jar) I believe that's all you need
As always, if you choose to upload your rom for others be sure to give credit-bigfau for camera, and I'm assuming you got epm from dman so dman for epm
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Also for battery mods (and other stuff too) a great place to go is a website called UOT kitchen-just choose your battery mod then upload your frameworks and it will place the modded battery in there for you, then replace your old frameworks with the new ones from uot kitchen
*do this after you have epm set up and running...unless you plan on doing it manually using dmans how to guide*

[HOW-TO] How i port AOSP ICS ROMS **Will not work with MTD ROMS**

Alot of people have been asking me how i ported Slim ICS, soooo...i made a tutorial on how i port AOSP ICS roms...this is a general tutorial that should be just enough to get the port to boot. your port will not be flawless and it will probably have some major bugs that need fixing which are usually fixed by libs.
This should work with all AOSP ICS roms except those formated in a MTD file system (MTD is not supported by the infuse)...but for best compatibilty use a similar phone like the galaxy s...also before porting if you plan on uploading it you must get permission first!!! Dont make the same mistake i made with slim...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loFHhYf0ca4
Guide:
***DISCLAIMER***
i am not responsible to any damdge caused to your phone by following this tutorial, you are doing this at your own risk. Before beginning you can not be afraid to mess with system file, to experiment, to get boot loops or even completely destroy your phone-for the infuse this is highly unlikely
if you fear bootloops or bricking a phone than you should not follow this tutorial
this guide should work for all phones and all AOSP roms, however every rom is different so some may require extra steps which you will be on your own for...this should be enough to get you to boot up though.
***END OF DISCLAIMER***
if you have any questions please feel free to comment bellow, dont message me on youtube i probably wont answer...if you do comment i may or may not help you, but maybe somebody else will. i have a busy life, and am constantly busy with the infuse and can not spend the time to address everyones issues...but by commenting maybe some one will help.
TOOLS/PROGRAMS NEEDED:
1) 7zip or other archive program
2) text editor, for windows i would use notepad++
STEPS:
1) download CM9 for your device or other AOSP based ics rom ***This is your base rom, you will use this to replace files in the rom you want to port***
What ever firmware your base is is the firmware you will be able to port...EX: 4.0.4 base=4.0.4 port
***for this tut i will be using CM9 4.0.4 for the infuse found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844 ***
2) download rom you want ported ***it can be from any phone, but for best compatibilty/least amount of bugs use a rom from a similar device, since i have an infuse i will use a Galaxy S ICS rom"
3) open up the CM9 or whatever base rom you are using with 7zip (dont extract it just view the archive...for 7zip right click rom, go to 7zip option and choose view archive)
4) delete the following folders in the system folder: app, framework, media, and fonts
5) open up the rom you want to port and use the app, framework, media, and fonts folder to replace the ones you just deleted in the cm9 base
6) copy libandroid_runtime.so *located in /system/lib/* from the rom you want to port into the cm9 base (you are replacing the one already in there) keep a copy of the one in CM9...if it doesnt boot up put the CM9 one back in
OPTIONAL/NOT NEEDED to make the rom run
a) go to build.prop and change the name of the rom
b) change the name of the CM9 base zip to whatever you are porting
7) place the rom on your sd card and flash...if you get bootloops do a logcat
If your rom is unresponsive/not working right you may need to replace some stuff in the /system/lib/ with stuff from the rom you are porting (just compare the rom you are porting with cm9 and whenever you see something missing in the CM9 base or dif size switch it over BUT keep a backup of the unresponsive one that booted...this part is all trial and error) i can not help you with this part...you are on your own, but feel free to comment and i may try and help or someone else may try and help
Also logcats will help in diagnosing problems...
please dont pm me for help, comment on this thread and if i have time i will try and help...or someone else will. im really busy, im a junior in highschool, so i have homework monday-friday, not to mention that my 92 year old great aunt is moving in with us as she can no longer take care of her self alone so i will be busy taken her to appointments and what not.
If i could i would help each and every one of you guys...but i just dont have the time to help everyone so if we can restrict the questions and answers to here hopefully we can limit the amount of questions asked.
Saved for Q&As...
just in case...
Thank you very much MG for your hardwork and dedication. This guide will actually help and inspire many of us to bring ICS flavours on Infuse. :thumbup:
Only a HS junior? My god what was I doing when I was your age? Definitely not porting Android roms.

Here's a direct link to the superb Tamcore kernel:
http://files.tamcore.eu/android/?dir=tamcore-kernel
Read the site carefully as Sweep2wake is disabled by default.
You have to flash the add-ons that you require separately.
Cheers.
+1. This worked for a couple of days for me. However my camera stopped working so I had to revert back to the bundled kernel in the Rom. I am on Spider's AOKP/CM9 build. Some has success in flashing the kernel to get sleep2wake, but it's a hit or miss for me. I think I have an app that gives a force reboot like noLED. That app seems to conflict with a lot of mods that I experienced personally.

[Guide][FAQ][UPDATED] Don't know about something? check this out first

To make Pico general section free of multiple reptitive questions i decided to make a FAQ thread
1). Can i root my phone?
Yes you can if you unlocked your bootloader
refer to this tutorial for reference
2a). What can i benefit from rooting my device?
For basic users, Root gives us a privilege to use apps that require root like titanium backup, rootexplorer and the likes. Root can also give you the ability to use CWM recovery and install custom roms
2b). Is there a downside to rooting?
yes, for one you may loose your warranty for unlocking your bootloader. you may also have a very slim chance (like 1%) in bricking your phone if you dont know what you are doing
3). What is ROM?
It's like Windows in android.without a rom your phone is good as brick.
4.). What is CWM and Custom ROM?
A custom rom is a modified form of the rom that was given to us by htc. a few examples of this are CM roms, AOKP roms,PA roms,PAC-roms, Sense-Based CWM is short for clockworkmod recovery it's a tool use to install custom roms, patches.
5). What is this CM/AOKP/PA/PAC/SENSE your talking about?
CM is short for CyanogenMod, CM gives its user vanilla android experience (which is only present in nexus devices) at the same time more options and customization available there are 4 versions so far CM6(not available for explorer)(froyo 2.2.x),CM7(Gingerbread 2.3.x),CM9(Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x)and CM10(Jellybean 4.1- 4.2)
AOKP is short for Android Open Kang Project, AOKP brings user MORE goodies than CM gives and it also gives the user Vanilla android experience.
PA is Short for Paranoid Android, Also like CM but it gives you unique Tablet UI (phone will look like a tablet) for your device even though it's just a phone.
PAC is combined PA, AOKP, CM. It gives the combined features of the 3
Lastly, Sense based rom are roms that are based from stock rom (with htc ui) or some are ported from other device
6). How to install one of this rom
Look for the rom that you think you like in android development section and follow the instruction given by the developer
7). So which of them is the best?
Try them all and don't compare roms people have their own preferences. when you compare roms some devs may feel bad and leave this device for good.
part 2:
1). My Device has very little amount of memory space available,how to increase memory?
there are various scripts in the forum to increase internal memory i'll give you some
this one or this one
2). Is overclocking the device possible?
for CM7/9 there is a kernel that support overclocking but i dont think its possible yet for CM10
3). Is Offline Charging for custom roms possible? (charging on plug while phone is off)
for now i haven't seen a rom or kernel that supports it (not sure about stock rom)
4). What is S-off
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. In other words more options will be available once s-off is attained
5). So is S-Off Possible for HTC explorer?
As of now not yet but some people are trying to work on it
6). so what is a kernel anyway?
it's the medium through which the hardware part of the phone "talks" to the software side of the phone basically,like a translator of some sort. without the kernel a rom would never run
7). where can i get those kernels?
it's built in inside the rom you downloaded but you can try other kernels which other devs made by flashing them through the recovery
8). are all kernels compatible to my rom??
the answer is no, because some kernel were made for ics and not for gb, same goes for Jb kernel to Gb or Jb kernel to ICS so basically they are not interchangeable but there maybe kernels that can be compatible to both ICS/Jb because both versions were a little similar
9). so what's the best kernel??
again, the answer is dont compare them, but it's better not to touch the kernel because the developer of the rom has made the kernel in harmony with the rom. changing kernel may cause the rom to give unusual errors or problems

Please suggest a way to install play store again... i installed and tried some custom roms... and made a backup of the stock rom using cwm recovery... but when i restored the stock rom...the playstore is missing.. please help..
Next can somebody PLEASE write out a thread outlining the benefits of an appropriate topic, or maybe a "A dummy's guide to composing a topic" maybe or "Do's and Dont's of topic composing".
Searching the forum can only prove to be beneficial IF the freaking threads have a TOPIC which gives an idea of the content!
Oh btw, this had nothing to do with either the OP or any post here just a general observation and the main reason of my cussing constantly while browsing these forums.
EDIT: I wanted to post it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970184 but sadly that topic is closed and this seemed like the next best place.
