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
I've fixed the low incall volume problem. BIG thanks to Arva!!! If you are experiencing low incall volume all you need to do is this:
1. go with RootExplorer (or something else) to /system/etc/firmware
2. delete default.adcb and htcleo.adcb (make sure you have mounted read/write in the folder)
3. just copy the defaut.adcb from the attached file that Arva gave
4. restart the phone (not hot restart)
and presto!! you'll have so lowder incall volume that your ears will bleed
Again.. BIG thanks to Arva!!
Just applied the fix, works nice
Found Simple Fix,
-when you recieve the incoming call accept the call turn on speaker phone and turn it of again,
good idea.. but when you change the file you won't have to deal with it every time.. it can be a bit annoing
how do you do this???? Helpppp, this is really annoing!!!

Okay, you told us to delete htcleo.adcb, but there is no file to replace it in the file downloaded.
Also what do I replace the deleted files with?
default.acdb
or
update.default_acdb.sh
?>??
YOU SIR, ARE NOT CLEAR AT ALL IN YOUR DIRECTIONS.
I agree. This works as well but its really annoying as hell!
How do you even get to htcleo.adcb???
@lemonspeaker you dont replace htcleo.adcb.. you just delete it. and copy default.adcb, the other file is for the builds from cedesmith.
@daica13 get to file with rootexplorer.. and it's written in the first post where the files are located.. good luck
Well I tried your / his fix and yeap it worked !

Use Rootexplorer to do it.
You need root access. And Change the files to read / write
I Used Rootexplorer not sure what the heck I was doing !
But it worked ! In-Call IS Fixed!
Yep.. Worked for me.
Thank you.
Got a fix for the speaker volume for ringer and notification being low too?Ive been searching for weeks.
I have deleted the two mentioned files, but I can't paste the new file.
All the maps are read/write, but when I paste the standard file nothing happens.
I used Rootexplorer.
What am I doing wrong?
I can't open root explorer, it says something like "root explorer has not yet managed to get permissions from superuser..."
I can't figure out how to get around this!
Any ideas?

BusyBox says it is rooted. It also says BusyBox not found!
I also tried using SuperManager and when I delete files it does nothing!
I have notice a strange issue. Since I Have applied this fix the boot time is about 90 sec. If I restore the original file, the booot time is about 45 sec. Why this?
thank you ,nice work
Worked like a charm for me! I couldn't paste the file using Root Explorer, so I tried Super Manager, and it allowed me to copy/paste just fine.
I have been using CM9 ICS on my Note for 4 days on and off. And needless to say, it has been a great experience. So I thought I would start this thread for everyone else who is using CM9 and would like to share their tips/tricks.
- I would like to start off with this particularly useful tip I discovered. The music player crashes a LOT and when you boot back up you notice several copies of you tracks. This happens to me the most with the stock music player. Hence I have switched to winamp which seems to be a lot more stable. The fix for the duplicated files after a crash (force close) is very simple. You either need to perform a factory wipe from clockworkmod (messy) or go to Settings>Apps>ALL>Media Storage>Clear Data and REBOOT. Once you have a fresh start, you need to backup the "[PLAYLISTS] Media Storage" data with Titanium Backup. Next time you have a crash, fire up Titanium Backup and restore the DATA ONLY from the Media Storage backup you made earlier. Reboot. Your library should be free from duplicates now. I also recommend switching to winamp. Winamp too crashes sometimes but you can use the same fix for it. If you happen to load more tracks, launch winamp and make sure the library has updated fine and perform another backup of Media storage from Titanium Backup. BTW, winamp also has an option for lock screen integration.
-I use ES explorer for general messin around with the filesystem. How you set it up is also simple. Get ES explorer, go to settings and enable Root Explorer, superuser will ask for permission, say yes. Now scroll up a bit and you will see the Home Directory option. Set it to "/". Yes, that is just slash. Now when you hit 'up' in the explorer window you can leave the sdcard location and explorer the system files. Now you internal sdcard's(storage) location is "/sdcard" or "/mnt/sdcard". The external (microsd) path is "/mnt/extsdcard". I haven't tried OTG USB mounting but the path for that would be "/mnt/usbdisk".
-There are SEVERAL ways of getting files on you sd, internal or external. The easiest way is to reboot>recovery>mounts & storage>mount USB storage. But that gives you access only to the internal sd. You can use ES explorer for sharing files wirelessly with your windows machine using the SMB protocol which is very robust. I suggest you google for instructions. You can also use QtADB, which gives you access to you external card too. And then there is dropbox. Dropbox now uses a temp system location for downloading files. The path to the temp folder is "/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch". You can use ES explorer to go to that path and 'retrieve' your downloaded files. Works especially well with .zip's.
-Now, the default boot animation is cropped on the sides and is kinda lame. So I thought I would try and fix it. I couldn't fix it with resizing the jpegs. So I just snagged some bootanimations from the web. I liked the one I attached below the most. It's called Machina and runs full screen on the Note. No cropping Now once you download that zip, you need to get it on your sd. Do it any way you like. Set up root on ES explorer and also enable Write Mode. DON'T FLASH THE ZIP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD. Locate the file on ES explorer, copy it, navigate to "/system/media" and paste it. You'll notice there is a bootanimation.zip there. That is the default one and you should back it up on your sd. Once backed up, delete the default one and rename the download zip to "bootanimation.zip". Reboot. BTW, I take no credit for the boot animation.
Please hit the thanks button if any of this helped you. I will be adding more info as I come across it.
Click HERE to see a quick youtube video of the boot animation.
Camera doesn't work, I'll pass
I got the nexus bootanimation to be fullscreen. I 'borrowed' hdr jpgs from a tablet build. HERE is a short youtube clip. You will find the zip attached below. Again, DO NOT FLASH WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.

Not everyone cares about the camera lol
Thank you for the thread and the animations!
Another tip for file transfer (which has been mentioned earlier, in the CM9 thread) is to use Airdroid. I use that method as it feels more convenient to be able to keep the phone on.
I like the machanic bootanimation thx

Airdroid is quite possibly the best/most useful app I have seen on Android until now! Thanks for the tip.

Also you can put the bootanimation.zip to /data/local which makes it permanent if you update the rom(in the future i hope )
Placing the bootanimation in /system/media makes it change in every rom update-flash cause the flash formats the system but leaves /data as it is
And if you have different bootanimations in /system/media and /data/local the /data/local bootanimation wins

Maybe I'm just plain stupid and I have missed something, but I tried installing AC and connecting the phone without result. Did you do anything more than just connect it using USB?

Adjust Touch Sound volume
Hi,
I recently flashed my SGN to CM9 Nightlies. still in practical mode
Does anybody know how to lower down the touch sound volume? quite noisy typing at night..
Thanks.
Hello,
System: 4.4.2, root, Samsung Note 3
Problem: Default Calendar App notification sounds is too soft.
I searched 4 forums and tens of posts but I could not find an answer that solved my problem, for one reason or another.
I downloaded a good mp3 continuous and loud "beep beep" sound into #/system/media/audio/notifications but I cannot see it under any one of the 3 notification sounds lists that I can access from Calendar App > Settings > Select Ring Tone.
In that menu I see 3 lists:
- Go SMS Pro,
- Zedge,
- Media Storage
Sounds from the first 2 cannot be applied and whatever I select from those 2 lists will revert to the default "On Time" sound from the 3rd list. In the 3rd list I cannot see the custom "Beep Beep" mp3.
I need a really loud and repetitive sound to remind me of events. Please help me! I thank in advance for sharing your time and expertise.

Thanks for trying to help me but I already have a file manager (fx file manager with root access and read/write permissions) and that's how I managed to move my custom tone into the #/system/media/audio/notifications folder.
But, maybe, fx is not a good file manager and I need to install and use ES? Or am I missing something? Wrong folder? Something else?
Please help.

While using ES, you can select tone from any folder.
I directly choose from my Downloads folder

Rename the "Beep beep" sound to "On time" (or whatever the original name is), replace the original one, set the right permissions, reboot.

Sorry, but I do not understand what you are suggesting because I wrote that I already can do that so I don't get what you are suggesting. Apologies for asking but, please, can you be more clear?
I already CAN choose tones from any folders with fx. My problem is not moving tones into folders but:
a) to which directory should I move the tones to???
b) at the moment I only know of this:
#/system/media/audio/notifications folder.
c) I have already moved the custom tone in this folder - as I wrote in the OP - but I cannot see it from my Apk settings menu.
Anyway, since you insist with ES, I decided to install ES. Then I did EXACTLY the same thing that I already did with fx: I moved my custom tone in the:
#/system/media/audio/notifications folder
Since there was already one copy of that custom tone I made a second copy.
... but I still cannot see the tone from my Apk settings menu!
Can you please guide me step by step as I cannot understand your help.
