Well this is the first tutorial i have ever made, so this tutorial is on how to change or delete the boot sound.
1. Ethier use RootExplorer, Droid Explorer or ADB.
2. Navigate to /system/sounds/lgeAT/
3. There should be a 4 sec long MP3 in there called PowerOn.mp3.
Now i think if you delete it the sound will not play. If you plan to replace it, well it should be mp3 format and 4 seconds long. If its longer than 4 seconds the song will continue to play over any other songs until its ended.
Well this might be a pointless tutorial, but at least i wrote one for it!
I hope this helps anybody who finds the annoying boot sound very annoying to delete or replace it.
Thanks for reading
Video on changed boot sound (microphone didn't really pick it up):
Rate thread, comment. the usual stuff.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot
You said you 'think' if you delete it the sound will not play. Have you tried and tested this? And what will happen if i use anything longer than 4 seconds? Will only 4 seconds of it play or will there just not be any sound at the startup?

Well if you use anything longer than 4 secs it will cut off.
I will try it now
EDIT: Just tryed it now and will upload a youtube video and amend the first post.
Good stuff! Another step to further customizing our great phones!

The bootsound doesn't have to be 4 seconds short. I got mine going for 12 seconds. Its better to have it for 4 seconds though because if you don't the sound will still play after the boot animation has finished, in my case.

It may be a framework animation.

It's both a shutdown animation and for when you lock your phone.
This is one thing that I really want bad. I normally don't give in to animations and haven't found any others that I like. But that one is just awesome.
if it is that means it is hiding somewhere in the framework or it might be some sort if crazy .bin that would take a dev to hack out of the dump s going around.

I published an Adventure Time app to the Market recently and a couple of Epic users have reported that it doesn't work for them. I have a hunch about what might be wrong and I changed a few things and need some of you guys to test things out for me before I make an official update.
Below is the link to the apk. Will someone install it and check to see if Finn (the first character) plays sound when you press on him? The other characters shouldn't work, if my hunch is right.

So, just to be clear. You click on a character and then receive a black screen each time?
the board next to the characters on the first screen.. one says stickers that takes me to the next screen (not avail.).. but when I press sounds, screen goes black.. also I uninstalled and then deleted the .apk... dl'd the link again, installed second time, same result.

this is cool I downloaded it form the market, would be sweet if you could choose the character then choose the phrase but i haven't experienced any problems

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Well, I have no idea why it's working for some and not others. Maybe it's a memory thing.

will do, use other soundboard apps as reference.
Adventure Time and Regular Show are my 2 favs on CN lol
Just some codec sounds I found then tweaked to be quite a lot quieter for phone use and changed to .ogg format (originals are included in case you want to alter them yourself).
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1219291954/codec_open+close.zip
To install them you can use an app from the Market called Lockscreen Sound Change.
Forgot to add, this requires root.
Or you can install them yourself.
The locations of each file are
Lock.ogg
Unlock.ogg
at 'system\media\audio\ui'
You can probably replace them using Terminal commands (haven't tried it myself), or you can add them to the ROM before you flash it.
Hope this is of use to anyone, I think it really goes well with the on off animations.
These sounds awesome. At the moment I am using a transformer, transforming sound as my unlock sound and reversed it for my lock sound. They're longer than these tones but still good, also lowering the volume makes them bearable for longer lol
Good work on sharing these and i'll probably use them when i get bored of my transformer ones.

I never tried a video. The one I was trying to use was a bunch of pictures of a video. It was for MW3 and it was like 20Mb. I still haven't gotten it to work but I'm going to flash Beamers updated theme and try something else. I think if you went through and got pictures every second or so of the video you could then make a boot animation of that. I would just be wary of how many you get and the size of the file.

Beamer uses an incredibly intricate auto-reply bot that crawls the forums, collects data, and then answers questions in Beamer's diction using that data. He recently ported it over to IRC, and it's nearly impossible to distinguish BeamerBot from The Real Beamshady.
this is the first boot ever made by ME! Alittle something I made for my wife (big Dave fan). Its made for our S3s.
Its in Landscape Mode
720x1280 30
part 0=Lyrics to the song I'll Back You Up.
part 1=Loop of Dave dancing during Jimi Thing (no sound)
Problems Im having is it takes longer to boot up.
Any suggestions/tweaks/tips by anyone? Please post

You should put a preview so we can judge. We don't have the time to change bootscreen every time.
123 mb for a bootanimation??

Huge file, I know. Its 150 or so pics of Dave dancing and song quotes. Wasn't sure what I can do to make it a smaller file but not lose the animation effect. Phone does take longer to boot, but not sure what/how to tweak to improve matters
