So I didn't really like the Verizon power off animation for PowerWashed (ED05) ROM, so I changed it to the full TV power off animation. I've always liked this one, so I figured there would have to be others as well. I posted the zipped folder that has all the necessary images for the full power off animation. I use Root Explorer, so for those who use that as well, here's the steps to make it work...
1) Extract the folder onto your computer, once you do, double-click the folder so you see another "shutdown" folder. Copy that folder and place it on your SD card.
2) Using Root Explorer, scroll down and find the system folder, click on that, then scroll down and click on the media folder.
3) Once you're in the media folder, scroll all the way down and click on the video folder.
4) Inside the video folder will be the shutdown folder, and from there I would either delete it, or copy it and paste it onto your SD card (Just in case you decide you want to go back to that power off animation) under a different folder name so it doesn't overwrite your existing shutdown folder.
5) Once you've taken care of the original shutdown folder, making sure there's nothing in system/media/video, go back to your shutdown folder (With the TV off animation) and simply move it to system/media/video.
6) You're done! Power off to test it out and make sure it worked.
*Note* For those who would like to delete the shutdown sound, simply go to system/audio/ui and delete the shutdown.ogg.
**Edit** I find the Nexus S Reloaded boot animation to fit perfectly with the power off animation, so for those who want the nice combination, feel free to flash it. Remember to wipe cache and delvik cache!
Very nice. I gave you a thanks. It works great.

I'm sorry but I don't know how to stop it from appearing on your gallery. It doesn't show up on mine, maybe try what trailblazer101 said. I'm really sorry about that.

If you have root try to overwrite the app by pushing it into system/app. Maybe it will work.

I have my phone rooted, and I tried what you say with astro/es/root explorer
but I just can't copy anything in /system/app/ because it's read-only.
Any ideas ?
yes, I do. Mount R/W in the root explorer (upper right corner). By default read only is set.

You have to paste it after you pressed R/W..
Pressing the R/W button only means you can now put something in that folder..

Have you tried deleting the old market paste the new then restart you phone
I just click on it installed and everything was fine, dunno what has happened there,
or you could open up the zip of the rom you are using remove the vending and replace it with the new one and reflash it to your your phone, without wiping and that might work
or try ADB
All I did was install it over the original some people said its got Chinese work.g on it but mine seems fine

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.

This shouldn't effect your phone or harm it but if you screw it up its not my fault always have a backup.
I figured I do a how to for some new people or those who never thought of this. Anyways....
1. You'll need some kind of root viewer root explorer es file manager etc. (Make sure your system is rewritable)
2. A .wav file is needed so find one you like however if you don't have one or only have a mp3 then use an online converter.
3.Once you have those two go into your root file viewer and find /system then go into the etc file and scroll down until you see a PowerOn.wav if you don't see one then it's fine. However go ahead and delete it and paste your .Wav file sound and rename it to PowerOn.wav Reboot and you should hear your sound playing. I if not your phone sucks ^^ no but then you did something wrong or your kernel may not support it.
UI Sounds
Okay for UI sounds it very similiar except go into the media folder in /system find audio and look in UI folder. For (the touch sound) find TW_Touch.ogg and delete it and paste your .ogg file you'd liked to use I personally just rename the Effect_Tick.ogg to TW_Touch and it sounds like the normal gingerbread touch tone. (Charger Connection Sound) is the Charger_Connection.ogg and the the full battery notification is TW_Battery_caution and lastly the low battery notification is TW_Low_Battery.
Just reboot and the new sounds shall take effect.
Have fun wasting some time customizing your phone.

Your file manager needs to have root access. This looks like it should work, if not try Root Explorer, which whilst it is paid for, is well worth the money and you'd be amazed at how often it comes in handy.
You must make the /system directory read/write. You can do this is ES File Explorer (assuming you have root) by hitting the menu button, click on "Settings", and scroll to the very bottom. The second option from the bottom is "Mount File System", and the subtext shows this is to "Mount / , /system as writable." Check this option, then try copying your file.

If you don't want to mess with /system/media and possibly lose the boot animation that is baked in your rom, drop the bootanimation.zip in /data/local and fix permissions.

Not exactly.
I'd like to create a link(pointer) file, as I can do it on Windows, that I could move to system/media/audio/ringtones, instead of the much larger mp3 file. With MS Windows I can select a file in Explorer, right click->Create shortcut, then I can use that small .lnk file anywher and use it the real file.
Windows provides other similar functions (Junctions, hard links), I do'nt know any equivalents on Linux/Android.

Thanks, it resolved my practical problem.
However I find incredible that such a simple and very useful feature (sortcuts to files/folders which could be stored anywhere) is not available on an mature OS . I made extensive searches with Google, found apps which generate files/folders shortcuts only on the home screen.
