How to disable Boot sound, no custom rom - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Sorry if this has been covered, I Searched and couldn't find anything on it other than custom roms.
All you need for this is to have your phone rooted and use the program Root explorer or similar.
Open root explorer or similar go to: system/media/audio/ui directory
Then at the top of root explorer click the button that says Mount R/W to change it to Mount R/O
Then rename the file poweron.ogg to poweron.ogg.bak and enjoy silent boots.
You can do the same to any other sounds you want to disable. Or if you are adventurous you can put your own custom sounds in there.
As noted below, it's not such a bad idea to backup files before you tinker with them. Simple making a copy and stashing is somewhere takes a few seconds and could save you some trouble.
I'm not liable if you screw up your phone, do at your own risk.

Yea you ll be fine, you did it right. Backup so if u delete something u want. u can put it back

spoonerdee do you know where the charging notification is when you plug your phone in the charger? It is disabled in the blazer rom and I would like it back so when I connect the phone to the charger it makes a sound.

This is why I recommend renaming it vs removing/deleting it. Safer that way.
But as you said, no harm in making a copy of the file for a backup, you never know

It's in the same folder as the other: system/media/audio/ui directory
the file is called Charger_Connection.ogg

[FIX] Low incall volume

I've fixed the low incall volume problem. BIG thanks to Arva!!! If you are experiencing low incall volume all you need to do is this:
1. go with RootExplorer (or something else) to /system/etc/firmware
2. delete default.adcb and htcleo.adcb (make sure you have mounted read/write in the folder)
3. just copy the defaut.adcb from the attached file that Arva gave
4. restart the phone (not hot restart)
and presto!! you'll have so lowder incall volume that your ears will bleed
Again.. BIG thanks to Arva!!
Just applied the fix, works nice
Found Simple Fix,
-when you recieve the incoming call accept the call turn on speaker phone and turn it of again,
good idea.. but when you change the file you won't have to deal with it every time.. it can be a bit annoing
how do you do this???? Helpppp, this is really annoing!!!

Okay, you told us to delete htcleo.adcb, but there is no file to replace it in the file downloaded.
Also what do I replace the deleted files with?
default.acdb
or
update.default_acdb.sh
?>??
YOU SIR, ARE NOT CLEAR AT ALL IN YOUR DIRECTIONS.
I agree. This works as well but its really annoying as hell!
How do you even get to htcleo.adcb???
@lemonspeaker you dont replace htcleo.adcb.. you just delete it. and copy default.adcb, the other file is for the builds from cedesmith.
@daica13 get to file with rootexplorer.. and it's written in the first post where the files are located.. good luck
Well I tried your / his fix and yeap it worked !

Use Rootexplorer to do it.
You need root access. And Change the files to read / write
I Used Rootexplorer not sure what the heck I was doing !
But it worked ! In-Call IS Fixed!
Yep.. Worked for me.
Thank you.
Got a fix for the speaker volume for ringer and notification being low too?Ive been searching for weeks.
I have deleted the two mentioned files, but I can't paste the new file.
All the maps are read/write, but when I paste the standard file nothing happens.
I used Rootexplorer.
What am I doing wrong?
I can't open root explorer, it says something like "root explorer has not yet managed to get permissions from superuser..."
I can't figure out how to get around this!
Any ideas?

BusyBox says it is rooted. It also says BusyBox not found!
I also tried using SuperManager and when I delete files it does nothing!
I have notice a strange issue. Since I Have applied this fix the boot time is about 90 sec. If I restore the original file, the booot time is about 45 sec. Why this?
thank you ,nice work
Worked like a charm for me! I couldn't paste the file using Root Explorer, so I tried Super Manager, and it allowed me to copy/paste just fine.

Root explorer, change permissions
so it worked, i changed premissions but stil when i open it it either says NULL (in hexedit) or "opened in Read only mode) in the text reader
ive no idea what to do
i cant even explort the file to my pc.. i moved it to DOWNLOAD folder and when i open the folder in the PC the file is like invisivle (and yes invis files and folders are set to show)
which files are you trying to bring over? i would sugget you start with a decent explorer first. solid explorer for instance.

Which folder, in /system or on the sd card? If it's the one in /system, you can push it from my Rom after extracting it from the zip file.
I'm not sure, I believe its the sd card when I plug in the usb cable and I go in to my computer to see it thats where the folder is missing from what do you think and thanks for replying

You should literally be able to just create a new folder there with the same name. I believe it's empty, until you put something there.

Increase your volume

Hi friends, this is my first aport so I hope you like it.
If you think your speaker volume is so low, maybe you want to try this mod, I have just change some numbers in the code mixer_paths.xml if you want to try it you can download it
This mod is for android 4.4.4
Just rename the file, should be like this "mixer_paths.xml"
Put it on system/etc
Use root explorer, give permissions rw-r-r (0644)
Thanks to kulvertti for advice me
I would advise zipping rather than rarring as more software (especially on tablet supports it). I was going to take a look at it, but would have to copy to my pc, unrar and then put back and frankly I cba! ?

You dont have to do it, just rename the file, instead of "mixer_paths.xml.rar" rename to "mixer_paths.xml" and place it in "system/etc"

Lol. I just re-read the first post. Didn't realise it was just named rar, rather than being compressed with rar!
I cant move it to the etc folder, it says permission denied, even tho I have root acces, I also cant changed permission using es root Explorer, may I know why
Thanks.

changing system sounds and boot sounds!!!!!

Of coarse u have to be rooted. I recomend a backup just in case. Always back up old sounds too..
Navigate in a file explorer of your choice to system/media/audio all the .ogg files are your sound replace them with sounds of your choice. Must be in .ogg format power up sounds need to be kept fairly short 5 6 maybe 7 seconds. I have changed many stock sounds keypresses and such all work great.
But in the off chance thats what backups are for. Im not responsible for ww3. Bilogical outbreaks or bricked device if u make a mod its at ure own choice no one forced you
Update just for those who are gonna try or ask make sure ure new sound is the same file name as the orig move the orig to a secure storage location of ure choice and then paste or move in new file in ect Poweron.ogg
