Root How can I add a boot sound to my new boot animation?

[su_me]

First i'd like to apologize if this has already been answered. I've spent days scowering the internet on how i can add a custom boot sound to a boot animation that i've added via rom toolbox. I have this cool marvel animation and while i was changing the lock and unlock tones (ironman repulsors ohh yea!) i thought it would be so cool if i could add the marvel theme song with the boot animation.

Heres what i have found and done.

• Downloaded mp3 file via zedge app
• Moved file to /system/media directory and to /system/media/audio/ui
• Converted file to .wav format
• Changed file name to poweron, PowerOn, Poweron, android_audio, bootsound, BootSound, Bootsound
• Added a bootsnd.sh script to /system/bin
• Tried editing boot animations dec.txt (or something to that affect) to include the sound file

All to no avail. I have not been able to successfully convert the mp3 to .ogg but i also read somewhere that this phone or rom needs .emd sound files to play at boot so i am completely at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also my phone is the lg f6 with pressy4pie recovery, xperion rom, freedom kernal overclocked, and
DataOnSD mod. Thanks in advanced!

Update. Found a solution. I moved the mp3 file to /system/media/audio/ui and renamed the file PowerOn.ogg works great!

So you simply renamed a mp3 to ogg and put PowerOn.ogg and it worked? I tried that it did not work but i did indeed find a fail called switchoff and on .ogg

Just a quick tutorial on adding sound to boot up and shut down. Note: i have only tested on optimus f6 so make sure you make a nand backup before starting!!

1. Must have root access.

2. Download sounds for boot.

3. Using ES file explorer, open side menu, open tools, check root explorer and confirm actions.

4. Move your boot sounds to /system/media/audio/ui

5. Long press your sound file and tap the more icon to open more options, select properties, next to permissions select change, only check read write read read and select ok.

6. Rename your sound file PowerOn.ogg for boot up and PowerOff.ogg for shutdown.

7. You can do the same procedure for a custom lock and unlock sound just make sure you change the original sound name to something else or just add .bak to the end of it.

Hope this helps.

how do i get a custom shutdown animation on my f6

 

[su_me]

The easiest way is to download them thru rom toolbox lite straight to your phone. You will get a zip file (leave it zipped). Find it on your sd card and move it to /system/media folder. Change the permissions to read write rea read (rw-r--r--) and rename it shutdownanimation.zip and reboot.

You can also make your own boot animations but i have not tried it.

If you want a boot up animation and you downloaded from rom toolbox lite you can set that right from the app.

One last thing i forgot. If you are running a custom rom on your f6 make sure you change or delete the already set animations so that yours are the ones that will play. Right now i have the marvel from rom toolbox as my boot with the marvel theme song from zedge and ironman2 from rom toolbox with jarvis power down mp3 from zedge as my shutdown.

thanks for the info i figured it out shortly after you posted this now in rom tool box can i partition my sd card b/c it seems to give me an option like that?

 

[tyler clifton]

i would love to hear about your favorite roms b/c ive tride cm 11 (too buggy) and experion (too close to stock)
thanks

Im sure you can partition your sd card with toolbox but ive never tried. I use Aparted for that. As far as roms go, ive only used experion for the f6 because ive heard that its the most stable. There is a youtube vidoe where someone shows off multiple roms for the f6 but again in my opinion the exeperion is the best. Ive done some really neat tweaks with the xposed app that comes with the rom and with nova launcher that makes the f6 feel a lot more like lollipop. I had to recover my phone back to stock at one point and i couldnt wait to reflash experion and reset the xposed tweaks. Its pretty amazing and inspiring what these devs have done just so people can enjoy the maximum potential of these phones.

I just came back to stock from carbon and when i hit recover i get a messag . Like. E.cant mount '/data/' and. E. cant mount intetnal storag. But it booted back . To stock and i tried wiping delvik cache but i get same message pkeas find out what you can and i liked experion but i wanted a more stable kitkat rom so i tried carbon but it was missing features i would have loved to see please help and thanks

Sorry i cant help with that. Best advice i can give you is to get the lg stock firmware and lg flash tool and flash it completely back to stock and start all over. Maybe there is another forum set up for this issue. Good luck.
