[HowTo] Disable HTC Evo 4G Startup Sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7TbLlzFzsU
Wow why is it so hard to embed a Youtube video on here
The startup sound of the HTC Evo 4G is one of the few things I find annoying about the phone. The fact that even plugging headphones into the Evo does not stop the sound is lame. Here's how you can disable it.
Fast and Easy Way for Froyo:
Root your device, use a File Browser (like Root Explorer) and rename the /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3 file.
Requirements
Your phone must be rooted with Toast's method
You must be familiar with ADB and Toast's custom recovery.
If you need more information on Toast's root and recovery, read this {tutorial} how to root \0/ - xda-developers
Disable Startup Sound
Connect your Evo to your computer thru usb and Enable USB debugging on the Evo.
Reboot into recovery. In a commandline do: adb reboot recovery
Start toast's custom recovery by running recovery-windows.bat as Administrator (or the equivalent for Linux and Mac). Do this by right-clicking on the recovery-windows.BAT file and choose Run as Administrator.
Use a different commandline and do: adb shell
Mount the system partition by doing: mount /system
Skip to #9 if you are on 2.2 Froyo
Go into first folder: cd /system/media
rename the mp3 file: mv android_audio.mp3 android_audio.mp3.bak
Go into 2nd director: cd /system/customize/resource
Rename the mp3 file: mv SPC_animation_final.mp3 SPC_animation_final.mp3.bak
You're done! Reboot: reboot

Nice one pingpongboss! Come to think of it, modders can tailor made (if they haven't done so. sorry if they have. i'm a n00b.) this procedure to load their own custom sounds and animation during startup.

Yup, that's right. I think BuglessBeast does that for the Moto Droid. You can also replace these files with your own files manually.

Thanks for the howto! Definitely glad to remove the sound.

thanks! Naive question, though. Why can't you just to rename the files directly in the evo using a file manager? I thought i'd ask before i try and mess things up .

That is because when you boot into android, /system becomes NAND locked. So you cannot write anything in /system
You can only write to /system in recovery mode.

Does anyone have the stock sprint start up sound SPC_animation_final.mp3 that can upload it here?
I flashed Fresh 0.2 rom and I don't like the startup sound that goes FRESHHHHHHHH. =/

Thank you pingpongboss! It was driving me crazy!

Haha I was really scared the first time I heard that sound

yeah so how do you enable it if it's gone???

You can also set your phone sound profile to silent before you shut off your phone and it Disables the HTC Evo 4G Startup Sound.

If you did it yourself, then just redo all the steps, but rename all the files back to .mp3.
If your Rom cane with no sounds then you can probably stick your own mp3 into the right folder.

7. rename the mp3 file: mv android_audio.mp3 android_audio.mp3.bak

and the android_audio.mp3 file doesn't exist?

Its very well possible that they may have changed the location of the bootup sound. Is the SPC_animation_final.mp3 still there? And does sound go away when you rename that.

Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb reboot recovery
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

mount /system

seems as though they did away with "android_audio.mp3" in froyo on the evo. if you skip steps 6 and 7 (and the bit about toast's recovery in my case since i have amon_ra's installed) everything will work fine.

I would just like to add how I did it.
I rooted using another method but I found a simpler way that works on the EVO 2.2. I downloaded Root Explorer (paid app) for removing bloatware, but I used it to navigate to /system/customize/resource just find SPC_animation_final.mp3 and add .bak to the end of that.
Done and done.
Thanks for the info on which file it was!

Is there any free application that can do this? I don't see the directory when I use ES File Explorer. I'm guessing it is hidden somehow?
edit: Nevermind, I found it with ES. No file manager I've tried will allow me to edit the file. What is Root Explorer doing that is so special? Just giving itself superuser? Can't we do that manually?
edit2: I did it via ADB but I'm still wondering the answer to my question above. Also, has anyone noticed if it takes longer to boot? It seems to sit at the white screen for longer than before. Maybe it's spending time looking for the mp3 file before on? Or maybe it's just my imagination.

Sorry for the long delay but it looks like you've figured it out.
IDK what makes root explorer do what it does, but in order to edit anything you have to click the button near the top (once you are in the directory you are working in) that says 'Mount R/W' to make the files read/write instead of read/only. It locks the files as read only by default.
I haven't noticed any longer boot times or anything on mine... dunno.

Blah
This sounds to complicated just turn your volume down before you shut it down.

[HELP] Black text in notification bar

I posted this in the galaxy s i9000 area.
"Hello All
I've helped a few people on here and am now in need of help myself.
I am slowly getting my phone to look like Froyo AOSP.
Vibrant guys have this mastered but over here its not a big deal.
The part I'm suck on is getting Black text in notification bar.
If anyone knows how to do this I can upload my framework and service.jar.
Only rewards I can offer if repairing you phone for free or dishing out software."
But as it seems you guys in vibrant area are miles head of the i9000 area in themes and mods.
Was hoping I could find help here.
I can only offer the same free repair and software but is all europian so not sure how much of an incentive it is for your guys.
I have linked a zip to my framework and service jar. just hope I can get a bit of help.

In your framework-res you need to edit the status_bar_expanded.xml and the status_bar_latest_event_content.xml in the res\layout folder of you decompiled framework. Also in twframework-res, edit the status_bar_expanded.xml, in the res\layout folder. This will take care of all the notification area text and status bar notifications.
For the clock, I have the steps, but they're at the house, and not remembering exactly what to edit, i don't want to send you on a wild goose chase. Once I locate them, I can post them here for ya.
Edited - These are the steps for editing the clock color, Master sent me these a little while back. Hope it helps.
How-to edit services.jar, clock color:
1.) Go to your SDK folder.. example: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.) Get your services.jar file & open it with winrar
3.) Take the classes.dex from it & put it in your android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder
4.) Open CMD
5.) Run the following command: "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" (directory may not be the same)
6.) Run the following command: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex"
7.) Go to classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.s mali
8.) On line 34 it will look something like: "const/4 v7, -0x1"
9.) On line 34 change the above to: "const v7, 0xffffff" (That will be black)
10.) Compile the classes.dex by using this command: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex"
11.) Get the new-classes.dex from android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder & move it to your desktop
12.) Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
13.) Re-open the services.jar using winrar & past your new classes.dex in there
(Notice: After editing the clock color, it will take longer to boot the first time! Be patient!)

Just thought about this, if your services.jar is from an i9000 build, the string to change for the clock text is going to be entirely different, and not one ive yet had experience with. The steps i listed for the services edit is vibrant 2.2 specific. You would have to get recommendation from the i9000 guys as to the proper string to change. I could mod your framework and twframework files for text color in a few minutes, but you seem like you really want to learn, so I'm trying to help you learn to fish, not just giving you a fish. Framework is a touchy mofo, but the rewards you feel when it actually works is awesome. Give the framework mods a try, im not abandoning you, I just think you would find it more rewarding doing it on your own. If you get stuck, ask any questions you have and I'll answer what I can, I will also try to track down the right string in the services to edit.

Additionally are you just trying to change the color of the clock, or the color of the actual notifications text?

I think the OP is trying to, know he needs to, change it all if he's going for an aosp look.

these are the same instructions as those from Br1cK'd just a little more in depth, his instructions on the clock color are spot on.
if the framework of the i9000 is anything like that of the vibrant you will need to do the following:
1)decompile framework-res.apk using a program like apk manager
2)once decompiled look at the log.txt file here you will find a list of png files that need to be 9 patched you can use this by using the draw9patch utility in the android-sdk under tools)
3)to change the text of Notifications you need to change the "status_bar_latest_event_content.xml" you will need to find any where there is android:textColor and change the color code. It should read something along the lines of FFXXXXXX replace x's with color hex code
as well as modify the status_bar.xml in the same fashion
4) if you want to change teh color of the text in the pulldown you will need to modify status_bar_expanded.xml in teh same fashion as step 3
5) once all this is done you will need to recompile the framework-res,apk with apk manager
i could do this for you if you would like but i cannot guarnatee it will work as i dont have an i9000 to test on
**EDIT**
i just remembered that for the services.jar modifications you will want to use 1's compliment of the hex color code

The framework steps you posted are valid for both, I didnt go into detail on the framework edits, good write up. I did just realize that my color code was wrong from what I posted for the services edit, looking for the correct code now.
Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant via the XDA App
Edited: Color code for the services for black is: Const v7, -0xffffff
That is for the services.jar edit, the framework edit is as shreddintyres posted it.

All done.

Editing build.prop tutorial

I haven't seen a guide for this yet...but if there is mods please delete this.
Your build.prop is what tells android what your phone is. A Nexus S a Motorola Droid, or a Samsung Epic. Knowing how to change it can be EXTREMELY useful from tweaking your phone to faking it to run netflix.
There's 3 ways to modify your build.prop. You must have root (and busybox) for all of them, but I beleive if you want to you can unroot and it will stick.
ADB
Adb is a part of the android sdk, and is more for advanced users then novices. You can modify your build.prop by using adb and pulling it, editing it on your computer, and putting it back. Not the simplest way.
Type in adb:
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\user\Desktop
Always replace "user" with your windows username
You should see a file named "build.prop" on your desktop. Open it with WORDPAD, not notepad. Change what you want. When your done, type this:
Code:
adb push C:\Users\user\Desktop\build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
This will put the build.prop on your sd card, since we cannot directly push to /system
Code:
adb shell
This should give you a shell. A shell is where you can run commands. After you have a shell, type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw none /system
busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro none /system
You have successfully changed your build.prop!
File Expert (or other free file managers) and text edit
This involves two apps, File Expert (or similar) and Text Edit. They can be found on the market here: File Expert and Text Edit
After you install these two apps, open File Expert. Click the menu button (the one on the phone), more, and Settings. Click on File Explorer Settings and click Root Explorer. It should request root, allow it. Press back twice to go back to your sd card. Then press back twice again. Click on /system. Press the menu button, more, and click mount. Select "Mount as Read Write". Now long click on build.prop and select File Operations. Click permission. A menu should pop-up, check the boxes so it looks like this
Code:
X X []
X X []
X X []
and click apply. Now, click on build.prop and it should say open as. Click text, then Text Edit.
Feel free to edit as you please! Once your done, click menu, then save. Then close the application. Don't forget to go to file expert and unmount system as rw, do this by going to the system folder and clicking menu, more, Mount, Mount as Read Only. Your done!
The easy way
Go buy an app. Really, some are worth the trouble. Two apps that will help edit your build.prop are Absolute System and Root Explorer
Thats about it. Any suggestions on how to edit, I'll add in this op. So be sure to leave them!

thanks for this! I have it bookmarked but where can i find common build prop edits?

You can also use ROM Toolbox to edit some items on the build.prop

For version 2 above, I use ES File Explorer and its built in ES Text Editor. One app instead of two. Same effect.

If anyone has any problems, MAKE SURE you're using TEXT EDIT. That solved my problem! =D

Actually Z, root explorer will let you edit the text.

Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action you do to your phone. By using this bootanimation you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
If you are using BACKSIDE/IHO or have already installed the script dont I REPEAT DONT run the script again. Doing so makes multiple instances of the commands and will stop the bootsound from playing. If you run the script more than once you will have to delete somethings to get it to work. SO be warned DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OR ARE USING BACKSIDEIHO ROM
Ran across this the other day and have been waiting patiently ever since. I posted about it already now its ready for the wild.
I did not create this. I have only edited the desc.txt so it will run on our phones. All credit goes to BootAnimator on RootzWiki. Again I did not create this so please thank the creator BootAnimator on RootzWiki

If for some ungodly reason you ignored the above warning and installed the script again..read below.
Here is how to fix it.
Make sure you are mounting in r/w mode on each of these steps.
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.

Umm... It never work... I tried this for 7 times...

Do this plug your phone in via the usb and open adb window.
Type "adb shell bootanimation".
It will say "mmap failed:errno 19 no such device" and play the animation on your phone screen.
If it says anything else post it here and I can figure out what the problem is.

Boot animation works. But sound doesn't. Used root explorer and changed the permissions also.

Where is the bootsound located on the official gingerbread release?
I only say some phone just wont play it because Ive tried to help several people on android central get it working and their phone just wont play it no matter what we did. Im sure somebody with more knowledge than I have on this would be able to figure it out, however Im not sure why it wont work. I was told that on CM rom the kernel was trimmed and bootsound was removed that is why you have to run the script I link to.

[GUIDE] Beginners/Ref Guide to Making Roms.

Hi guys! I see many people trying to learn how to make roms, Here i show the easiest and shortest way on how anyone can begin making roms for the Galaxy S3. ​
Requirements:
Prepared CWM Stock Package.
Apktool
7-zip
Notepad ++
Setting Up, and Introduction​
IF you have downloaded firmware from sammobile instead of zoot1's package, use this part for Setting up and introduction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37812381&postcount=33
OR ELSE THE EASIER WAY
To start with, Download the prepared CWM Stock Rom by zoot1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868004
I personally use firmware from sammobile, because i like to do everything myself. Though this method would be easier for beginners.
Extract the zip file to folder called "ROM".
Now lets head towards the customizing.
Thanks to Prawesome alot for this part. I took some info from his guide.
So now, open up the system folder. You'll find loads of folders in it. Here is a brief introduction to each of those folders:
1. apps
When you open this folder. You will find apk's. An apk is an install-able app package for any Android Device.
You can delete specific apps incase you want to delete. But take extra precautions on what you're deleting. As some apps are useful. You can add apps here as well in formats of apk's. But note, adding Play Store apps to the system/app folder is not recommended. For example you don't want Google Talk in your rom, you just have to delete the Talk.apk.
2. bin
Nothing really to mod in this folder. Full of advanced techy stuff. xD
3. etc
Here is where most of the tweaks come in. There is a folder called init.d where mods like the V6 Supercharger or multi-tasking fixes can be applied. Note! Don't add more than 1 or 2 scripts. Most of them usually conflict with each other.
In the gps.conf file, you can edit your gps info to make the gps more accurate. Pretty good guides about this, search them out.
Next is the hosts file. Devs use this to block sites from generating ads, and keeping their roms ad-free. Take a look at my DroidS3 hosts file, there are over 20,000 hosts blocked. You can use the same hosts file for your rom too.
4. Fonts
Very easy folder to understand. All you need to do here is replace ttf files, and you'll change the fonts.
5. Framework
Here is where the big mods come in. I'll explain further on about this. It contains the android.policy.jar, a useful element to add many mods. Framework-res is used to change wallpapers and theme the rom. I'll explain later.
6. libs
Contains all the libs needed for specific system apps to work. Don't mess here unless you're adding a mod.
7. Folders like csc, hdic, sipdb, wakeupdata, vendor, excetra..
These are the folders, there isn't much to do. Csc folder contains the feature.xml where some mods can be added. Search the forums for that. The rest contain multi-languages and more stuff.
8. xbin folder
Used to add scripts like busybox, dexdump, openvpn support. More like the bin folder but smaller.
9. Build.prop
Ever wondered how some roms have android 5.0, when it hasn't even released? All you need to change is the ro.build.version.release to any number you like. Even Android 20! Go change it, and fool some noobs out there. More mods can be added to this file. e.g:
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
debug.performance.tuning=1
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1
profiler.force_disable_ulog=1
ro.config.nocheckin=1
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
ro.lge.proximity.delay=15
mot.proximity.delay=15
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.config.nocheckin=1
The codes listed above are for improving jpeg quality, saving some battery life, reducing call delay and more. Search for build.prop mods, you'll find loads of them. ​Now, a small explanation of the Meta-inf folder.
In Meta-Inf you'll find the updater-script.
Since this is aimed at beginners, I'll just show you how to change what text is shown during install in CWM.
Just edit what's in the quotes of the ui_print code in the file, and enter your own text. e.g:
Code:
ui_print("Hi, This message in quotes is displayed in recovery");
Modding!​
It's time for the modding to begin.
Get apktool from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243
Now, first copy your framework-res from the /system/framework directory to where you extracted apktool files. Let's call this folder "apktool"
Open the folder apktool, press shift and right click. Click on "Open command window here". Type:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Now you are ready to decompile apk's.
I'm going to show you how to mod different files. Copy over:
SystemUI.apk
android.policy.jar
framework-res.apk
1. SystemUI.apk
Just showing you basic modding here. Copy over SystemUI.apk to apktool folder. In the command prompt, type
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
After it's done, you should see a SystemUI folder in the apktool directory.
I'm going to show you how to make the status bar transparent, thanks to raubkatze for this part.
Navigate to res/layout/tw_super_status_bar.xml and change android:background to match the red line.
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView [B][COLOR="Red"]android:background="#00000000[/COLOR][/B]" android:focusable="true" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
Save and close.
Then navigate to /res/values/drawables.xml
Edit to match:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR="red"][B]#00000000[/B][/COLOR]</item>
That's it. Save and close.
Go back to your command prompt and type
Code:
apktool b SystemUI SystemUI-new.apk
After it's done, probably will take around 5-10 minutes. You'll find SystemUI-new.apk in your apktool folder. Open both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI-new.apk with 7-zip. Delete AndroidManifest.xml from SystemUI-new.apk and copy AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from SystemUI.apk to SystemUI-new.apk
That's it. Close the zip files.
If you have adb or android-sdk push SystemUI-new.apk to your phone using:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SystemUI-new.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb reboot
If you don't have adb, just copy over SystemUI-new.apk to your phone. Rename it to SystemUI.apk and copy to system/app with root explorer. Reboot.
There you have transparent statusbar now! ​
2. android.policy.jar
Decompile android.policy.jar with:
Code:
apktool d android.policy.jar
You will find android.policy.jar.out, open it and use Cristiano Matos guide to mod the files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018633
After that use:
Code:
apktool b android.policy.jar.out
Open the android.policy.jar.out folder, you will find a dist folder created and inside that is your modified android.policy.jar.
You can use adb again by:
Code:
adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework
or the normal root explorer method. ​
3. framework-res.apk
Here i'll show you small mods.
Decompile it using
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
Navigate to res/values/bools.xml. ​Here you can add these. Thanks to DSA for this! :
4 Way Rotation:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">false</bool>
Change to:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">true</bool>
Lock Screen Rotation:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">false</bool>
Change to:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">true</bool>
and
Code:
Code:
<bool name="lockscreen_isPortrait">true</bool>
change to
Code:
Code:
<bool name="lockscreen_isPortrait">false</bool>
Disable Keyboard Switch In StatusBar When Typing
Code:
Code:
<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">true</bool>
Change to:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">false</bool>
Unplugging From USB doesn't Turn Screen On
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">true</bool>
Change to:
Code:
Code:
<bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">false</bool>[/indent]
Now to change wallpaper. Change the default_wallpaper.jpg in drawable-xhdpi and to change lockscreen wallpaper change keyguard_default_wallpaper.jpg.
Now recompile using:
Code:
apktool b framework-res framework-new.apk
Delete AndroidManifest.xml from framework-new. Copy AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from framework-res.apk to framework-new.apk
To test use adb:
Code:
adb push framework-new.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Or rename to framework-res.apk and copy to system/framework using root explorer. Reboot.​
Once you've added everything, your modified apks. Ui_print mods, A custom kernel (just replace boot.img) it's time to compile. Now this is really easy. Just highlight all the folders/files like system, meta-inf and boot.img. Right click. Hover over 7-zip and click Add to Rom.zip. Wait for it to be done, and copy Rom.zip to your sd card and flash. Voila! You've made your rom!!​
You can get more mods to add from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26583654&postcount=4
I was a beginner once, everyone was a beginner once. People helped me, and now I want to help people.
