I'd been having some issues removing some system sounds in the traditional ways... causing either freezes or the old 'triple vibrate'. So I just cheated and made a silent *.ogg file and renamed it to replace the system sound I wanted to lose.
The attached zip silences the boot sound, charger connection, battery warning and most (all) camera sounds. See the screenshot below to see which sound files are replaced.
You can remove any files that you want to keep, by deleting them from the zip, or alternatively rename files to get rid of sounds that I haven't included.
1. Backup first
2. Zip is flashable

I will try this, I just delete the directories, never thought it might cause problems! Thanks.
Ahhh...the old Silent OGG workaround trick. Good Job.
I wish we could have a SWITCH on/off for these types of things built into the OS!
Maximum options!!!

What is the best way to roganise my phone?
I plug in my phone and all i see are folder's after folder's and file's after file's
totally, unorganised it looks a complete mess and to be honest i dont even know what most of the files are for as well as folders.
102 items in the root of my phone & Sd-Card, am trying to tidy it up,
I want all my music in a Music folder as apposed to 3 which I have Music, Music Junk & Music_online , its really unorganised. Photo's and Video's need to be organised as well.
So i have applications that create folders in the root. , can i not add a folder called Applications, and then the apps will create folders in their or somthing?
Anybody got any idea's and will i be ok to delete most of these folders and files?
Thanks

I've rooted mine so think some of what's on there will be needed, so I'll just have to put up with it. I've had to flash it 5 or 6 times already by tinkering, only had it a week too lol.
Went ahead and made my own animation with sound and all. For more info on how to change and edit all this go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732311
PREVIEW: real one does not loop and has sound

Install instructions (must be rooted):
Place contents of shutdown.zip in directory: /system/media/video/shutdown
Place contents of shutdown_128.zip in directory: /system/media/audio/ui
easiest way to do it is through root explorer. Try this animation out and let me know what you think, I'm also working on a few more
wrong section.. this belongs in the Theme & Apps forum but this looks pretty good.

thanks, I did a serach for shutdown animation and all the posts were on general so I put it here
Hey I like it. Better than that pink flying around the screen crap.
Didn't work for me. Contents where they belong but the phone just shuts down normally, no new sound or animation
Didn't work for me either...
It looks like it should, but like the previous post, it just shuts down with no animation and no sound.
how are you guys getting the files in the directory?
More detailed explanation please
Hello,
I would like to put this shutdown on my vibrant. I am running Bionix 1.3.1.
I have changed boot animations many times but never shutdown animations.
Can someone give more detailed instructions please? Do I replace these entire folders with the new folders? These are zip files so should I flash through recovery?
Confused at the moment.
Or, does anyone have any great shutdown animations for Bionixx 1.3.1?
Thanks for your help.
You will also need a kerel that supports bootanimations and shutdown ones too. I found that out just recently myself as I was throwing some metroid icons and animations onto my phone.
Kernel?
I know that I can change my bootanimation, never tried to change the shutdown one.
Follow the op's instructions ...if you copy the folder then you will need to make it lower case.....also if running a custom kernel you wont get sound
Got it working I much prefer it over original bionix 1.3.1 shutdown

I am trying to root my samsung galaxy s and tried for 3 hours yesterday until I decided it was not going to happen. First, I'm on android 2.1 and used two ways to attempt to root it.
The first way I tried it was by downloading the update.zip file and connecting my phone and placing it into my internal memory drive (I put it in the folder with 12gb). Then I rebooted my phone into recovery mode and clicked reinstall packages. But an error came up saying something like it can't find the update.zip file. I did this like 5 different times renaming the file and putting it in different folders but nothing worked.
The second way I tried was the one click method. I downloaded the one click app and followed all the directions but once I'm in the reboot mode it again said can't find the update file
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
If you're using Windows, make sure "hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked in Control Panel. It could be that the file is named, "update.zip.zip"
Also, it has to be in the root directory. Meaning, not in a folder. Just drag it to the SD Card.

Idk if this is the root directory but this is what I do. Ill plug my phone in the computer and then ill have two drives show up. One is my phone and the other is my memory card. I put it in my phone not in a specific folder inside the internal memory.
If thats not the right place can you give me step by step directions to where I should be putting the file.
Thanks
When you download the update.zip file its original name is not update.zip, i forget what its originally called but you HAVE to change it to update.zip for it to work, thats the only reason i can think of why it couldn't find the file.
Ok so after I hide the extension like the 2nd comment said I have to rename it to update or update.zip? If I rename it to update it would still be update.zip but the zip part is hidden bc.of the settings right?
Thanks guys
If you uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" then it will show extensions (or, unhide them, if you will).
Then you'll be able to see the full filename. It should be: update.zip
...no more, no less.
Ok guys, I did everything you guys told me to do. This is the error I get now,
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I don't know if I'm putting them in the wrong folder or what, but I don't know why I keep getting this error.
Have you followed this guide?

It should not be in a folder, just the root of your internal.
Try the 1 click root again. its hard to mess up.

Stock is too bright and shows too much color banding
Adjusted the gamma on the images. Made darker and colors little more vibrant
Install:
Flash threw CWR
Alternate install methods [root required]
Use the bootanimation.zip below
Place in data/local folder then reboot
no need to set permissions leave as is
this will bypass default animation and when you want to revert back simply delete from local folder and will default back to stock
one thank to me for resize
a lot of thanks to demo23019 for this great work(for the nexus s device)

For those of you on MIUI like me, I'll provide the steps to install it.
1. Download the boot-file.zip containing the "bootanimation" file.
2. Extract the file and place it in system/bin, replacing the old boot animation file (make sure there is no extension at the end, just bootanimation)
3. Give it the permissions using Root Explorer or equivalent: rwx-rx-rx (rwxrxrx)
4. Download ics_tweaked.mtz and place it in sdcard/MIUI/themes
5. Reboot, and them go Settings>Themes>Customize>Boot Animation> The new animation should be there.
6. Select it, Reboot, and Enjoy!
NOTE. If it isn't there, look at all the boot animations that are there, if there is one with no preview, select that one. That should be one containing the new animation.
*DISCLAIMER* This method worked for me and results may vary.
Works flawlessly, thanks.
Great boot animation and very easy to install.
Sent from my Huawei u8800 using XDA
Will this work on the Rezound I would really like this one looks nice.
When start booting animation little bit laging, but later everything ok. Best boot animation for me.
Thanks for this great animation, works like a charm
I found circle shaped hover icon on 4.1.2 really annoying for drawing purpose.
to change the icon go to
system\framework
copy framework-res.apk to your computer
open it using unzip program
replace
\res\drawable-mdpi\tw_pointer_spot_hovering_spen.png
with icon you want. (in my case I made copy of it and edited using photoshop)
I did not unzip the apk. I dragged new file onto unzip program and replaced the png file.
copy the file back to system\framework using root explorer and replaced it.
it worked without problem for me but make backup just to be safe
Nice find. pretty cool
Should of post a pic of what new icon looks like!

SWEET dude! It works! Thanks alot. I followed your instructions exactly. I used winrar to get to the png.
Maybe someone could make a bunch of cursors and an app that lets you interchange them easily?
I cant find drawable-mdpi\
i cant find drawable-mdpi\ please help
Still works!
I did a TON of research on this, and was nervous about flashing, modding system files, etc. Running stock rooted 4.3 Verizon Note 2. Just wanted to let people know this still works! Thanks for the instruction!
