Music on reboot or start - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi. I tried to put this on the development thread but I dont have the proper permission. I flashed scroslers vrall4 stock rom. All is good except when I restart or reboot I get a musical theme that I can't shut off. I found the wave file, over the horizon, and first changed the name. That did not work. I then deleted the file and that did not work. Anyone know how to eliminate this. Thanks. GA

Try system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg
That should be the boot up audio.

Thanks for the reply. I know about that and changed the name of the pwr on and off files. The music starts after the samsung light show during a start or reboot. Its like the file is somewhere else other than where you would expect it. I deleted it from the ringtones folder which was the only folder I could find it. It still plays so its somewhere. Its a mystery!

Does that ROM, even though it's stock-ish, support custom boot animations? The boot animation might be calling a different file. Try finding the boot animation and see if it is calling a different audio file?

Okay....I'm on the hunt. Let you know

Well. I have tried to find access to folders or files having anything to do with boot animation and struck out. I also checked titanium backup to see if there was an app that was obvious to freeze. No joy there either. Probably going to flash a different rom and see if that helps.

Update.... my problem has gone away however I'm not sure what I did to fix it. Downloaded the 23 toggle app from the theme and app section. Tried to flash it in twrp, which failed because it did not recognize the zip. When I rebooted the music was gone and everything is as it should be. I guess there was a loop in the bootloader that trying to flash another app somehow repaired. Noob dumb luck strikes again!

Yeah, I'd like to get about 5 more made up or so, that would be cool. I already have one finished that I made for SHOstock ROM back on the SGH-I777 (SGS2). It never got released to the user base because Shoman was able to make his next ROM a JB so we ditched that one. I can just change the text and render it out again.

flashable zips
LGOG_Jank4AU_Bootanimation_CWM.zip - 3.59 MB
LGOG_Stock_Bootanimation_CWM.zip - 3.27 MB
*if you like this bootanimation, don't forget to thank Jank4AU*
the stock one is just the plain LG one that I got from my Bell E973. these install into you data/local therefor leaving your original intact. data/local will override system/media. essentially it'll look there first and if there isn't bootani there then it'll use the one in you system/media
or instead of flashing the stock one you could just delete bootanimation.zip in data/local and it should bootup with your original bootanimation from system/media
Should have another, new boot animation zip and video up a little later this afternoon.

I didn't try the flashable zips. I've just been putting the boot zip on my internal sd card and using ES File Explorer, moving it directly to /system/media manually. Just rename your original boot animation zip to .bak to keep it without overwriting or deleting. Try that.

The easiest way would be to reflash the rom. Or, you could try connecting it to your computer and see if you can access the sd cards that way.

Factory reset?

S4 Launcher.zip question.

I found a thread in the nexus 4 section where there is a s4 Launcher with widgets and all. Now I'm curious if I should flash this. I don't want to brick my phone. Your input?

There a huge warning saying "TOUCHWIZ USERS DO NOT FLASH"
Otherwise I dint see it bricking...and wet use the proper dpi (xhdpi)
It's just installing apps...if nothing is done to the kernel/framework and most importantly boatloaders, there's little risk other than a factory reset to get rid of those apps if they were to not work.
OK. I tried flashing it before you answered and just caused a weird boot loop. Restored all good now. If I extract the zip there is no apk

PAC-man ROM Question

Hey guys, a few questions...
1. When I flashed the rom using the appropriate method (format system / factory reset / wipe davlik) my previous SD card data "disappears" I can't see it in astro but I do through boot loader.. What is going on? How can I access that data?
2. When I tried to install black mart, an apk file it doesn't let me press the install button. I do have the unknown source option checked. How can I fix that??
3. I restored my backup, stock rom, and everything works fine for now... Is this safe?? Can I just restore PAC-man and continue using it??

1. Its in /data/media, this is covered numerous times, its a 4.2 change. Copy your files from /data/media to /0.
2. I won't help with warez. Aside from that is it the only app this happens with?
3. Restore wipes before restoring, so its mostly fine, but I wouldn't flash PAC over a sense rom since they are all 4.1.

I figured it out..
1. The files are hidden.
2. Astro didn't see the files, even when I selected show hidden files.
I used a different app, perfectly....

This is the second time I've seen astro fail to see those files, they really need to update. I use solid and it sees all that stuff first e right off the bat, no settings needed. Its not free, though, so I try not to suggest it as it has a trial period last I checked. Es file manager should also work well.

I just saw this; sorry bro.
Let me have a look at this issue. Initial thoughts would be to ask if restored any apps from Titanium Backup, have unknown sources checked, and to confirm that you indeed can download and install apps from the market.
OK, it looks like you may have restored the app from TiBu.
Here are a few threads for reference...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379703
http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...estions/2608744-language-pack-download-failed
I'll look into Zedge in a moment. But my initial thought would be to clear app cache and re-download any restored apps from TiBu, delete the app, and reinstall.
Be back anon. Please stand by...
OK, for Zedge, I'm not seeing similar issues, but the commonality is close enough. Try deleting the subfolder for Zedge on your SD card, reboot, and the app will recreate the folder needed on boot.

May be time to start from scratch with the Skunk Ape1 file, followed by reroot and re-installation of recovery. Then pick another rom.
Pretty drastic, and I'll try to see if there are easier routes, but I'd prepare for that now. Couldn't hurt.
I have an annual dinner I have to go to, but will check back later tonight.
Until then, please describe any other behavior you've noticed...

I see you ran the Skunk Ape1 rollback. I did think that you had other options, but it's the cleanest. For me it's a nightmare to restore everything, but it just has to be done sometimes if you want a solid experience. I had errors a while back when restoring a bad backup, and my option was to flash a new rom. Things just kept degrading. Had the Skunk Ape1 full restore had been here then, it's what I'd have done. Inasmuch as you were on a CM rom, it seemed the safest play.
Sorry about that, but I hope things get cleared up for ya.
