Hello,
Start off by apologizing if this is somewhere and I missed it, I have searched and searched.
I was able to flash a new bootscreen the otherday no problem. I have found another that I would like to push to my phone, but when I attempt it I get the ADB error that my device is full....
I followed a "delete bootanimation.zip" process and get an error that no file(extension) exists.
I looked at the dir and see that it(/system/media) is 94% taken, which would explain why I get the error message.
I am looking for a way to free up/delete/erase the /system/media/audio/ringtones since I don't use them at all and that is a big chunk, 47 files.
Is there a way to do so or to move em atleast so I can free up that space.
When trying to do it with my file explorer I get the error that I don't have permission....lol
Please help I wants to put new stuffs on mah phone!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks alot for the info. Worked like a charm.
You wouldn't by chance know how to remove the "office phone" sound when I boot up would you. In CM5.0.8 and when ever I shut down or restart I get that ringing sound, I'd like to replace it. Any ideas?

Bootup/down tone
____________________________________________________________________
After some research and a good recommendation from Firerat @Cyanogenmod forums, I was able to do it. The ring I was hearing was a SD card notification. Turns out if you really want to you can put whatever sound, song, byte, etc. you want in there you just have to do a little converting.
This is how I did it.
1. Downloaded this: FlicFlac
2. Install, like 5 secs
3. Open FlicFlac, select convert to OGG
4. click on the big box that says select file
5. Pick ur MP3 or whatever audio file it is, and...BAM! u have conversion
Now I used Android Commander to place the file in the directory, /system/media/audio/notifications
You can prolly ADB push that as well.
Reboot and there you have it. New "boot sound" lol. (of course you need to go into notification sounds ((Settings > Sound & Display > Notification Ringtone)) and select your newly created .ogg file for it to work)
Hope you like.

I posted this all int eh captive section >.< but thought I would put it here in case the other vibrant users would like to know this...
I found the hard way of change the startup sound and shutdown sound, which can be confusing, but i'll try to explain (this is after you have root)
1) went into Astro and copied the file from etc called PowerOn.wav to my SDcard as backup
2) found a wav file I wanted to change for power on and named it PowerOn.wav and stored it on the root of my SDcard
3) downloaded terminal emulator from market
4) when I launched, superuser permissions granted it SU access
5) type the command 'su root' (without the ' of course)
6) then type the command 'cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /etc/PowerOn.wav' and hit the enter key
This changed mine to a cooler "system activating" wav file I found...this was my way and it worked, but would much rather know the simpler version of How to grant Astro superuser permissions.
PS I used Audacity to convert my mp3 to wav and ogg files...in case anyone wants to know a free software
Shutdown Video:
I think you can change the shutdown video by adding custom PNG files in the /system/media/video/shutdown folder, but I haven't tested yet...i'm trying to figure out what I was going to do for the video (has to be 14 PNG files...or 14 of them all named the same thing).
I'll be testing soon and letting you know if this works.
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!
I was able to create 14 PNG images and copy them from my SDcard to the /system/media/video/shutdown folder and now I have a new shutdown video...anyone have a sight I could upload the new shutdown PNG files too? I have a couple different ones I created...really basic, but a little nicer than the T-mobile default one.
EDIT...AGAIN: And the new shutdown video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPorxuJ6n4
Anchor reply for future information on this...possibly some shutdown videos
couldn't you just use root explorer and put the new wav file in the place of the old one with the same name? This is how I changed my boot animation. I'll try your way if mine doesn't work.
Thanks for this.
hey can you zip your shutdown file and give it to me without the sound? it looks badass, and the axura is pretty homo right now.
also are you sure this will work for vibrants?
my startup i changed from sdcard/system/media/...
Vibrant using simply honey 2.8
Im tryn to add a boot sound an cant figure it out please help there was no boot sound to begin with.. i made PowerOn.wav an tryed in system/etc and then tried media then ui nothings working am i naming this wrong or what Please help me out some on! pm me
HOW TO CHANGE BOOTANIMATIONS AND BOOTSOUNDS !!
*The size 7 looks funky eh? *
Ok, so this thread is a tutorial on how to change the bootanimations and bootsounds on our beloved LG - Optimus One/P500..(You had already guessed that, had'nt you? ) .. Basically I will start from scratch so this thread can be easily understood and appreciated () by everyone including newbies to Android ('n00bs' is racist, isn't it ?) ..So here goes...
PRIMARY REQUIREMENTS
1) First and foremost 'BRAINS' .. Please read and re-read the thread carefully before asking any stupid questions.
2) A Rooted Phone. Use any one click application such as z4root or gingerbreak to root your phone. There are many tutorials on the net for that matter.
3) A file manager (Installed on your phone) with the ability to R/W (Read/Write) .. Such as Root Explorer (Highly Reccomended) ,File Expert..etc..
4) ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING ANY OF THESE METHODS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOTANIMATIONS
1) Download any bootanimations online (or create one using the link below) and make sure they are of '.zip' format. Please see the links below this section.
2) DO NOT extract the file. Simply rename the file to 'bootanimation.zip' (without the quotes).
eg: if your file name is xxxxx.zip ,change it to bootanimation.zip
3) Connect your Phone to the computer ,turn on usb mass storage and copy paste the file onto your sdcard. You can place it anywhere, but just remember to keep track of it. Turn of usb mass storage and disconnect.
4) Go to Root Explorer and move your file to data/local (put it in the 'local' folder) or system/media. The location of the bootanimation varies with ROMs . Wherever you see the old bootanimation.zip file, put it in that folder. If a file with the same name already exists, replace it with the new file and move the old file onto your sdcard. (Thats your old bootanimation)
5) Reboot
STFU and enjoy your new bootanimation !
NOTES :
If the file you downloaded from the net is already named 'bootanimation.zip' you do not need to re - rename it. (That was obvious, wasn't it ?).
Also you could also rename the file using root explorer and not neccesarily using the PC. Its really upto you.
If you want to download some bootanimations go HERE
P.S. My personal favourite is Transformer Bootanimation by aspee.
You can create your own bootanimations using this tool.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOTSOUNDS
1) Ok, for this process you need a sound file, preferably a '.wav' file, but any will do ... You could download them from the net (Google ) or you could just choose any file from your PC, its really up to you.
2) Now you need to convert the sound file to a '.mp3' format..A fast and easy way to do this is by going out here and following the instructions on screen. You could also use any other audio converters but everyone has their own preference.
3) Change the name of the converted file to 'PowerOn.mp3' ('P' and 'O' capitalized)
eg: change the name from xxxxxxx.mp3 to PowerOn.mp3
4) Connect your Phone to the computer ,turn on usb mass storage and copy paste the file onto your sdcard. You can place it anywhere, but just remember to keep track of it. Turn of usb mass storage and disconnect.
5) Go to Root Explorer and move your file to system/sounds/lgeSounds (put it in the 'lgeSounds' folder). If a file with the same name already exists, replace it with the new file and move the old file onto your sdcard. (Thats your old bootsound)
6) Reboot
Your smiling, ain't you ? Enjoy the new bootsound.
FOR CYANOGENMOD USERS
1. Download this shell script here bootsnd.sh
2. Place it on the root of your SD card & then open Terminal & type the following
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
3. Now by using a file manager program with R/W (Read/Write) go to the /system/bin in your phone & make sure the file has transfered over! It should say BOOTSOUND & have permissions set to rwxrwxrwx! for this I use Root Explorer or you can use File Manager once you have selected R/W
4. Before transferring your sound file over rename it on your pc, android_audio and make sure it is a .mp3 file. Transfer the sound file from your pc to the root of your SDcard. Now move your sound file you want to play when the phone boots to /system/media of your phone & rename it android_audio you will have to be in R/W mode! Typically fifteen seconds is plenty long and just perfect, however anything over 30 seconds will get cut off.
5. Reboot & enjoy your new BOOTSOUND B)

NOTES :
1) Yes. These animations do work on custom roms. You do not need to do anything else as stated elsewhere by other articles.
2) Always make a backup before doing new things.
3) If you still have a problem then you see that reply box below..Well yeah, fire away !

Umm well..if you do have the 'lge sounds' folder then it will definitely work.
And yeah you dont neccesarily need to use your PC everytime..As long as your sound file is 'PowerOn.mp3' You're good to go !
Sometimes, instead of converting the file to mp3 format you could just rename your file to 'PowerOn.mp3' but I personally have experienced that only renaming the file doesn't work always i.e it works sometimes and sometimes doesnt..But converting AND renaming it is a sureshot method
Please tell me whether it works for your optimus V..

I followed the tutorial and I couldn't make the boot sound to work. I followed everything by the book. I don't know what to do.

The method works for sure..I tried it on Mik'o Void which IS a CM ROM..
Make sure u convert the file to an mp3 format and also rename it to android_audio.mp3. Before using the terminal emulator to use the script, go to root explorer and click on mount r/w and you are good to go.
This is the reference :

To start go to
/system/etc/unit.local.rc
and open it in the text editor. Delete everything from
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start###
to
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Stop###
Delete any instances of it.
Next go to /system/bin/ and delete the file bootsound.
Now go to /system/build.prop and open it in the text editor. Scroll all the way to the bottom and delete any instance of
ro.config.play.bootsound=1.
Now delete build.pro this is an error in the bootsound script. If you don't have this file don't worry about it.
Now open the bootsnd.sh file you downloaded and scroll to the bottom. Find the line that reads
echo ' ' >> /system/build.pro
and add a p at the end so it reads
echo ' ' >> /system/build.prop
and then save and exit.
Now open terminal emulator and type in:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
Now go to /system/bin/ and verify that the file bootsound was created and make sure it has full permissions.
If all is well place android_audio.mp3 in /system/media/ if it isn't there already. Reboot and enjoy your bootsound!

Gotta say, this worked like a charm! Now I have to decide which one I like best. The Transformers one would be awesome if it had a corresponding sound file simliar to the movie sound of heavy metal joining into its shape!
Thanks again for the share as well as the awesome tutorial!

Well, the bootanimation is actually a series of PNG images which are displayed in quick succession. The fps actually depends majorly on the number of images.
If u wanna create ur own BAnim there are many threads on XDA for that matter.

Simple way to increase your volume.
Im pretty sure you won't brick your phone but please do this at own risk I take no responsibility for your actions.
Make sure you are on a rooted device lol how else would you have 4.2.2.
Download the file
If file name is to3g.txt rename it to to3g
Copy file with a file manager ( I use ES with root permission)
Go to /system/ect/sound
Delete the file called to3g
And click paste and the new one should by magic appear.
Change permissions (hold you finger on the file) to rw r- r- ( mine looks like this rw r--r--
And then delete the new file to3g.bak if it appeared. If It didn't then you should still be OK so long as you did all steps.
Reboot and hey your phones louder.
Get noozxoide Eizo rewire pro and you have a loud kick ass phone again.

What you did was change sound file to go above 50/55 to 63 there for making it louder. If you get the noozoxide app that will then help with equalization of the volume and more.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the water drop sound when using the keypad dialer, I know you can turn it off, but I would really like to throw in my own sound file in there if possible. I am on a stock 5.0 TW ROM, rooted. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thanks.
Get a sound you like, rename it Dialer_New.ogg and copy it to /system/media/audio/ui and overwrite the original one. Backup the original sound first.
I use a different method
-Copy SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk (or similar) from system/priv-app to your desktop
-Open with winrar or 7zip (no need to extract or decompile)
-Navigate to res/raw
-The ogg file is called Touch_ripple. It should be the only one
-Rename any sound to Touch_ripple.ogg and copy to res/raw, choose 'store' as storage method
-Close and push to system/priv-app, fix permissions, reboot
This is the only method that has worked for me. If replacing Dialer_New works I would like to know.
