I believe it would be in the system folder and probably called boot sound. You'll need root and a root enabled file browser to get to it though

How often do you have to restart your phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
It's in system-audio-ui, called boot.ogg
I replaced mine with the iron man "importing virtual preferences" audio clip
To get get rid of it just delete the audio file(or rename it)

3 consecutive times following the instructions to root and get rid of the unlock icon and I'm now sick of the stupid noise.

It's actually in system/media/audio/ui, and it's called PowerOn.ogg.
Thanks, I missed putting in that folder!

Yea trust me I tried that, usually you can click on the apk through Root Explorer and act like your gonna install it and it will show you what the icon looks like, I just cant find the MF lol
MobileAP is what it usually is called... might be under a different name.
I can't find it either on my 2.2 powered Epic.
FYI, I have removed it 1,000 times on various Epics with 2.1 using titanium backup or root explorer.

I mean to actually browse your applications that you have installed. I've never heard of one apk putting two icons into your applications. This case, settings.apk throwing both Settings and the Hotspot in there.
Oh well. Traded my Sprint Tab in for AT&T Friday.

I thought i would create a new CMW flashable zip for people on orange uk moving to Custom Roms, or even those who are on generic firmware but don't have this capibilty.
It basically enables Signal boost technology (UMA) for Galaxy S devices when in low signal areas.
This CMW zip works perfectly. This zip is tried and tested on most roms
However Give me and others feedback on if this works for you on other Rom's.
Remember this is Orange Network only!
Find the zip attached.
Just flash in recovery.

Ok, so I have managed to install the app by extracting the package and installing the apk. However when I open the signal boost app it immediately force closes.

If you could extract the apk and put it in /system/app
Extract the lib files and put them in /system/lib and then extract the .prop file and put it in /system and then let me know.

Ok. I'll try that now mate. I presume that you have the app fully working? I'd be ovr the moon.
Ok, so I've managed to get the app installed and openable. I have enabled signal boost and I have the orange house icon in the top left of the screen however I am unable to make calls when I have no mobile network coverage. It seems that the app isn't correctly routing the calls.
Just to warn you, this app causes crazy wake locks and ruins of battery life, only use it if you really need to!

I've noticed the volume on the Note 3 to be the same as on the 2, however the sound seems to be much better. Especially when using an external speaker via bluetooth.
Sound is better than sgs3 but it is a lot quieter. It badly needs an amp

Used to be in system/etc/ folder but for the life of me, can't find it now on 4.3

Viper4Android allows you to customize headphone sound and phone speaker sound separately just like a few other equalizer/sound mod apps do. It's available in the Play Store and it works wonders. The sound I got out of my old phone (S3) and my current phone (Note 3) with V4A made a huge undeniable difference.
Link to download the .apk and install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
It has multiple types of volume boost functions along with a great equalizer and many other useful features.

When u unzip the file preferably in root expkorer there are two folders in the file go thru them one has 2 file in it one has 1 file in it. The one that has one in it is the one u need follow the folders name that that file was in and put it in the corresponding folder in system. I know it sounds confusing I will edit this in a few I was typing this and realized I deleted the zip after moving the file.
Edit....
Move this file to system>etc>(file)

I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.
Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.
Just curious

Any thoughts on what could be happening? It just seems so strange that this is completely missing. See for yourself in the attached screen shots.

I don't remember uninstalling any Samsung apps and the only disabled apps are Verizon bloat and the Kindle app. It feels like it's just missing somehow. I'm hoping to factory reset as a last resort.
