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

I posted this all int eh captive section >.< but thought I would put it here in case the other vibrant users would like to know this...
I found the hard way of change the startup sound and shutdown sound, which can be confusing, but i'll try to explain (this is after you have root)
1) went into Astro and copied the file from etc called PowerOn.wav to my SDcard as backup
2) found a wav file I wanted to change for power on and named it PowerOn.wav and stored it on the root of my SDcard
3) downloaded terminal emulator from market
4) when I launched, superuser permissions granted it SU access
5) type the command 'su root' (without the ' of course)
6) then type the command 'cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /etc/PowerOn.wav' and hit the enter key
This changed mine to a cooler "system activating" wav file I found...this was my way and it worked, but would much rather know the simpler version of How to grant Astro superuser permissions.
PS I used Audacity to convert my mp3 to wav and ogg files...in case anyone wants to know a free software
Shutdown Video:
I think you can change the shutdown video by adding custom PNG files in the /system/media/video/shutdown folder, but I haven't tested yet...i'm trying to figure out what I was going to do for the video (has to be 14 PNG files...or 14 of them all named the same thing).
I'll be testing soon and letting you know if this works.
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!
I was able to create 14 PNG images and copy them from my SDcard to the /system/media/video/shutdown folder and now I have a new shutdown video...anyone have a sight I could upload the new shutdown PNG files too? I have a couple different ones I created...really basic, but a little nicer than the T-mobile default one.
EDIT...AGAIN: And the new shutdown video

Anchor reply for future information on this...possibly some shutdown videos
couldn't you just use root explorer and put the new wav file in the place of the old one with the same name? This is how I changed my boot animation. I'll try your way if mine doesn't work.
Thanks for this.
hey can you zip your shutdown file and give it to me without the sound? it looks badass, and the axura is pretty homo right now.
also are you sure this will work for vibrants?
my startup i changed from sdcard/system/media/...
Vibrant using simply honey 2.8
Im tryn to add a boot sound an cant figure it out please help there was no boot sound to begin with.. i made PowerOn.wav an tryed in system/etc and then tried media then ui nothings working am i naming this wrong or what Please help me out some on! pm me
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Many people have a problem with this and don't know what to do.
I think the charging sound of the Sony Xperia Z2 is really annoying and useless. It makes the device feel cheap (at least for me).
So I explored some folders and files in my phone, and I finally found the fastest way to disable the sound.
Turns out there were some other sounds in there too!
Basically you need a rooted phone and a root explorer. I use Cheetah Mobile's File Manager but you can use anything you want.
Enable Root Exploring and then navigate to /system/media
You can see here that there is also the boot animation file.
Move on to /system/media/audio/ui
Find the ChargerPluggedIn.ogg file
Rename to ChargerPluggedIn.bak (basically you change the extension)
Reboot device, and there you go! You can also disable any other annoying sounds from there if you want.
Note: To restore any sound you disabled, rename it back to FILENAME.ogg or whatever the extension was, then reboot.
Ive done this on g2 g3 g4 now the stylo. I use root explorer. But i guess any file explorer of your choice.
goto system/media/audio. Change each sound as u see fit. System uses .ogg flacc files for boot sounds keep em under 10 seconds or will lengthen boot time and chop clip off.
Rember make backups first always always always. Slight edit so theres no confusion new sounds must have same name as original examp.ogg. i think ones called twinkle.ogg new file must be named twinkle.ogg i move origes to a new folder first for backup and so theres no overwrite conflicts. But can confirm it works on ls991
New edit beforw hand u have to mount system rw.
I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 I tried using ES File Explorer to change the System/Media/Audio/Ui sound files. Some sound files worked and some didn’t (format can’t be read ). I was wondering if each separate sound file is limited to how long it can be or if it can’t play files passed 93DB or say use the same sound for all the Camera functions (start/stop/click). I changed the db to 93 for all my mp3 files converted them to ogg and renamed them to the appropriate name to overwrite the existing file. I ended up replacing the original sound files back onto the phone since I am not 100% sure if I changed the right sound files and some just didn't work.
The only sounds I want to change are the low battery, lock, unlock, power on, volume control, and the back/task manager/touch buttons which all have the same sound. I believe the files are: Lock.ogg, LowBattery.ogg, Poweron.ogg, TW_Volume_control.ogg, Unlock.ogg. I think the back/task manager/touch buttons are S_HW_Touch.ogg and TW_Touch.ogg, but not 100% sure. For example does Lock.ogg have to be less then 1 second if not format can't be read? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
