[TUT] Changing Boot Sound

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.

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.

Adventure Time App - Need some testing

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.

What wallpaper apps do you guys use????

Very curious as I love to set my own pictures and I know they have to be a decent size but I'm having trouble. Seems like pictures I set as wallpaper look great but then afew mins later it turns all huge and uglier.
Would love to know if their are great apps for the note. Cheers

Wallpapers Bay for Tablet FTW!!!

Ive had the same problem before I think.. on some roms.. that the walpaper isn't set to the size shown when selecting it, not even when using crop tool. It zoom in a lot! .. but for me the size became normal again, as croped, after reboot.. Have you tried to reboot when it happens? =) Those issues happened on my phone on some roms while using gallery app to set a background.

I use wallbase, picspeed and zedge. And i will rate wallbase as best. We can download wallpapers of any resolution. And the next best is picspeed because it gives wallpapers that fits to your mobile resolution, and zedge works the same way, but for Galaxy Note it has very few wallpapers while browsing through the app.

Hidden (kinda) Tiny Planet Feature!

I haven't seen this talked about too much. Did a search and nothing came up as well. But if you take a full 360 photosphere, you can make it into a Tiny Planet!
Instructions:
1. Open your camera and switch to Photosphere mode.
2. Using Photosphere, take a FULL 360 picture. You must hit EVERY spot possible.
3. Save the picture and allow it to render.
4. Open your gallery and tap on the picture. If you did it right, you will have the option to share to Google Maps (using the share icon) and also in the bottom right will be a button to turn it into a Tiny Planet, which opens up more options.

I asked about this in another thread. Apparently this was a early feature of photo sphere but got removed in final version. Let's hope we see it make a come back would be awesome!!

I'm running the latest OTA and it is there. But like I said, it has to be a FULL 360 photosphere. Meaning you need to get everyone single spot you can see. This will also allow you to upload your photosphere to Google Maps.

Ohh cool. Will try it out. Thanks

Dude this is cool! Thanks!

I can't believe everyone with a Nexus doesn't know about this neat-o feature.. Seeing as it'd exclusive to your phone..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Looks cool.

Also if you take the photosphere and flip it 180° in the gallery editor, and before saving go to the last tab in the editor (the one with the +/-) the first option will be the tiny planet, but this time it would create an inverse tiny planet. The sky in the center and the surface on the outside. A little more difficult to create, but can look really cool.

Galaxy Note 3 - Screen DPI

Hi whats the easiest way to inrease the screen DPI? I have a SGS3 and a Note3 infront of me but I dont see anything extra on the Note3 it's just magnified. Really pointless...unless you have poor eye sight!

I set the dpi on an app by app basis. I left the system as is and just decreased the system font size. I feel this combo works well for me. I used Xposed App Settings to do this.

Techweed,
I installed Xposed App Settings and played around with dpi setting
of 320 and 480 in contacts and the gallery, but didn't see any real change.
Can you provide any help?
Thanks,
Neil

I actually didn't change contacts or the gallery. That's strange though. I changed other apps like the Play Store and Youtube to 400 just to make everything a bit smaller and they've changed accordingly.
To tell you the truth I don't have that much experience with this either. So you've installed the framework correct? Did you save the changes you made to the two apps you mentioned?

Thanks Bladerunner,
That was informative and helpful. Showed me what I don't know
Even added another piece to the puzzle with Rom Toolbox,
which I need to checkout and read about.
I think I need to proceed slowly down this rabbit hole...

Bladerunner,
In the above thread you referenced, you stated you used rom toolbox to changed your whole system to 320 dpi
Where can I find that feature in rom toolbox?
Thanks,
Neil

Its the build prop editor open it and scroll all the way down and look for the LCD =480. Change it to whatever ya want then it'll prompt ya to reboot and after that DPI will be changed
