The boot sound part is easy I think? It's when it comes to making the animation part is what I find daunting... What rom are you on? Do you want the whole song???
No just the beginning part where it has the guitar and the crowd saying Thunder. BAMF stripped 2.1
I too, would find this very interesting. That, or the battlemech turn on computer.
Try this one, I made it 30 seconds long.

How about this? It has a 4.5 second lead in...if you want I can adjust? Made it to work with Th3ory rom. Rename as you need.

Edit: Just loaded it on mine and I think I need to adjust the audio levels a little? Seems too loud. Let me know
Edit 2: Ok, new file attached.

No, open zip and extract the mp3. Name to whatever you need to match your existing boot sound. Rename existing boot sound by putting .old at the end to keep for backup.
What rom are you running?
Move newly named mp3 to either system/customize/resource or system/media? Make sure to correct the permissions and ownership of the file.
I am using BAMF GB Remix mod. Do you know how I could/where I would make these changes?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure about Bamf? Looks like its in system/media. Rename to FinalThunder.mp3
Use root explorer to change permissions and ownership once file is in system/media.
Make sure to rename existing FinalThunder.mp3 to FinalThunder.mp3.old so you can revert back if you wish.
If this helps, say thanks! lol...I see you did...
Edit: Oh yea, and you take all responsibility to anything you do to your device...blah blah blah
Thanks again, so it looks like I cant move, rename or delete the original file, I assume "root explorer" is the solution to this?

Yes use root explorer. Extract the mp3 from the zip folder. In Root Explorer "Mount R/W" Navigate to system/media and long press on FinalThunder.mp3 rename to FinalThunder.mp3.old....Then find the extracted mp3 I gave you.... Then long press on the file and choose copy... Then navigate to system/media....choose paste....then long press on the file I gave you and rename to FinalThunder.mp3
If for any reason it wont let you change anything make sure you are still mounted as R/W on the top.
Now long press on the mp3 and choose permissions...make it look like below.
Read Write Execute
(x) (X) ()
(x) () ()
(x) () ()
Then select ok
Now long press on the mp3 and choose change owner
In owner select 0-root
In group select 0-root
Select ok
i'm running cm7 atm. there isnt a mp3 to replace so should i just drop it into the folder?
/system/media/...
just dropping it in and changing permissions like the above post didnt seem to work. ive still got the cm animation but no sound

Ok, so it would appear that CM7 is totally different as I would've expected. I have provided a couple links that might help you out. I was just going to try to post the files here, but you might as well download them yourself and give thanks to the guy that actually figured it out.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030101
If you want, you can simply try to rename the file android_audio.mp3 and see if that works...but I'm thinking it won't? Don't forget to change the permissions and ownership.
hinds73
Thanks for the help I'll check it out
Swyped from my bolt running cm7
Wow! It's everything I hoped for! Thanks guys!
OP, damn good idea man.
@Hinds, good work yo.
Ok. Now can someone restructure my preferred bootanimation.zip to work with this? Thanks in advance!

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file

Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.
un-rooted, microSD card, Go Launcher, ES File Explorer, HomeCatcher

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings
"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
PROBLEM:Hi all,
I have had a problem with my Baseband version (XXXX) for a couple of months now.
I have posted a thread before about the same problem.
I thought I found the solution by flashing the stock ROM for my S3 mini, but there's still something that's not working.
So the problem is:
I can make Calls and send text messages on stock ROM ONLY. My mobile data is not working..
It also says: Baseband: XXXX
When I install a custom ROM (doesn't matter which one), I will not be able to make calls, send text message or use mobile data anymore. When I try to make a call it says: No Signal.
To make clear what I just said:
Stock ROM:
Calls & SMS: Working
Mobile Data: Not working
Any custom ROM:
Calls & SMS: Not working
Mobile Data: Not working
I don't know why Calls and SMS are only working on Stock ROM. (Baseband: XXXX).
I'm currently having stock rom, otherwise my phone is kind of useless.
How did this happen to me:
I have had this problem since I wiped everything in 'Mounts and Storage' in Clockworkmod Recovery.
I know this was really a stupid action.
But this can't be undone, so that's why I'm asking for help here.
I would really like to have mobile data back at first.
And it would also be nice if I can install custom ROMS again. (I don't like the laggy Stock ROM...)
Thanks for help in advance!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
SOLUTION:
This worked for me, hopefully it will work for you as well!
1) Root your S3 Mini. (If you hadn't rooted it already)
Download a pre-rooted stock rom from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548
2) Download from the attached files ''Root Explorer v.3.1.4.apk'' and install it.
3) Download ''modemfs.tar'' from attached files below.
4) Extract the file, then copy the extracted file to your device. (Put it on internal or external storage, it doesn't matter).
5) Open Root Explorer, go to the ''modemfs'' file you have just put on your device.
6) Copy the ''modemfs'' folder and go to your root tab. Find the old ''modemfs'' folder and click on ''paste''.
If it promps to merge, click yes.
7) Now reboot device and your baseband should work properly.

Hi leather.face,
Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the file and tried to paste it, but it didnt work: Permission denied.
Do I need to root my phone first?
I don't have the folders PERM and PROT, should I create them?
Do I have to flash nv.dat? Or copy and paste?
What should I exactly do?

Hi ... Ahhh okay you have not a pre-rooted stock rom on your device?! Okay ... You must flash a pre-rooted stock rom on your device and then ... You can extracted the NV.rar under this thread ... And you have flash before a rooted stock rom ... You have then also the right root permissions for the NV.DAT from the NV.rar ... Sorry for my english but I hope you understand what I mean?!

PS: But I'm not sure if it works on your device ... I mean this method! I use only pre-rooted stock roms on my S3 Minis.

I don't really know what I'm doing now exactly.
Once the download has finished I will flash the pre-rooted stock ROM.
I will install ES file explorer and hopefully I can give it root acces.
Then I will try to paste 'NV.dat' file into /modemfs/PERM/PROT
When I go into the folder modemfs, I dont see the folders 'PERM' and 'PROT', will that be a problem?
Do I have to create these folders?
Please help, I'm desperate..

Hi ... Your list with pre-rooted stock roms is okay ... I'm using the same page! I search the /modemfs/PERM/PROT folder on my nfc device with the root explorer and in this folder is the NV.DAT file ... But I have two more files in the /PERM/PROT folder and I'm not sure if you need the third files in the /PERM/PROT folder ... I still have the LABEP.CFG and the PPVALUES.DAT file in the /PERM/PROT folder!
Please make this:
1/ flash your pre-rooted stock rom via Odin and then,
2/ install a root file manager, no matter what, then
3/ search the /modemfs/PERM/PROT/ folder and you should not find this folder on your device then create manually the
4/ PERM and
5/ PROT folder with this permissions:
Code:
rwxr-xr-x
6/ the NV.DAT file in the PROT folder have this permissions:

8/ Is this okay for you? I wish you good luck!

I only know how to create the folder, I dont know how to set permissions.

Hi ... My favourite root file manager is the root explorer ... But you can also use a different file manager ... Your question is good ... I don't know how to set the permissions manually ... With the root explorer I set the permissions as follows:
1/ I have a taskbar on the bottom bar and I type the + icon then
2/ I create a new folder and then,
3/ I press and hold on the folder ... I mean the new created folder and then,
4/ I can set manually my permissions for all folders that I like!

PS: I think the wipe in the TWRP or CWM Recovery is the ground for the folders lost on your device!

Well, on stock rom EVERYTHING works!
But on a custom rom (cyanogenmod 11) I can not make calls, send text messages or on mobile data.
So the problem isn't fully solved.

I understand if you don't have a solution for this, but if you have, please tell me!

Hi,
I didn´t expect you would reply after you said you would sleep, so I´m sorry for responding lately.
Yes, I also see the other files, so I´m not missing files in these folders I think.
I think I´m missing files in other folders.
It seems that stock rom has... I don´t know how to explain... It has a file for ´signal for calls and sms´ integrated.
It is something that custom roms don´t have from itself.
I´m trying to find out what files I´m missing, actually I´m not even sure if that´s the problem.
Before I wiped everything at mounts and storage I never had this problem.
So that´s why I now think it´s a file that´s missing.
If you or someone else have other ideas, please tell me!
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
I created an archive of my modemfs folder, copy this onto your device and extract on root level. It will overwrite your current modemfs folder with the one from the archive. No mobile data issues for me at all - I am using CM 10.2 on I8190 S3 Mini.
Do it with the "Terminal Emulator" app:
- Grant root perms by issuing: "su"
- Go to root folder level: "cd /"
- Enter the following command: "tar -xzvf /path/to/archive/modemfs.tar.gz" Obviously, this "/path/to/archive" has to be replaced with the actual location where you have placed the archive.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Question: Where should I put modemfs.tar.gz on my device?
And.. How will terminal emulator find that file?
Wouldn't it be easier to copy and replace using root explorer?

Whatever works out best for you, mate. You can put the file on the sdcard anywhere, just make sure that you go to root level before extracting the archive as otherwise it will just create this folder within the folder you are currently in.
Edit: You could of course also extract this folder anywhere and afterwards copy it as root user over to "/" - it really does not make any big difference...

Now the problem has been fully solved!
I was just missing some files, that's it.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My moto g 2014 XT1068 just finished downloading the Lollipop update. Before I go ahead and install it I am looking to save the downloaded file and was wondering if anyone knows the folder path where it is stored? I'm hoping to save the file for future use in case I run into trouble with the installation and so I can share it with other people who didn't yet receive the update. Any help locating the file (using ES file explorer) will be much appreciated
Look in
Code:
/cache

Thanks but Device/Cache shows as an empty folder. I double checked that the 'Show Hidden Files' is turned on but still nothing. Could it be somewhere else? thanks

You will need root access for that

Also make sure to enable the Root Explorer feature in ES File Explorer.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. I enabled root and verified with simple root checker (shows that Terminal is Rooted and Busybox not installed) but cache still showing as an empty folder. I also tried Astro file explorer with the same result. My notifications tray is showing the update ready for install so the file should be on my phone. It's probably unrelated but I have also enabled Developer Options and USB debugging. I've previously rooted and I have TWRP on the phone so I won't be surprised if I run into some trouble with the update (I'll unroot again prior to updating). It would be great if I found a way to save the downloaded installation file before going through with the update.
Any other suggestions will be much appreciated

Thanks! That solved it.
Just a quick note to thank you guys for the your educated replies and your patience. Very much appreciated!
I have had trouble saving screenshots no matter the ROM I'm on. Stock or AOSP. Neither from the power menu or holding down volume + power. I get "unable to capture photo" and tells me my storage is low. However, I have nearly 9gb of free space. Anyone know a way to get this to work correctly?
Have you ever restored all your sdcard data from computer by recovery? If so this tends to break some permissions. You can test this by going to the screenshot directory and trying to create a file using a file manager.
If you cannot, its probably permissions. Do NOT use "fix.permissions" in recovery. There is a zip I can find for you if you need it
Seems like this is the case. Thank you. It won't allow for me to delete my pictures folder or create a new folder called pictures and a folder called screenshots inside it. If you have that zip that I can flash that would be a big help!
