Root Remove boot-time (and shudtown-time) videos

[mll]

Hi,

When I boot my Samsung Galaxy 551, I have some videos displaying : Samsung's and then my phone carrier. Thay surely add to the boot time, but what's worse, my carrier video has *sound* : not very discreet while in a silent environment...

There are also unuseful videos when I shutdown the phone.

So, is there a way to remove these ? I tried Captivate SGS Tools, but it has no effect on the Galaxy 551.

Thanks

Tell me the files present in
/system/media/video of your ROM
I will tell you the procedure to remove the videos.

Here you go :

/system/media/video
/system/media/video/shutdown
/system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg


So, it's basically empty, save shutdown/shutdown.qmg

(but actually, I have a noisy video only on startup)

Tch
Sorry my bad
I mean .qmg in /media files
if they contain bootani.qmg,samsungani.qmg
Then rename them bootani1.qmg and samsungani1.qmg
Replace them with the files in the zip.(If u want my animations)(they are samsung vanilla animations)
(custom ones will be done in a while)
Or be done with them ,you will get a black screen thats all.(Yeah worked for me)
About that noise.Manually check the Audio folder and delete/rename the irritating ogg file.
You seem smart enuf to rename and delete stuff.mv for rename and rm for delete.
If any other .qmg file is present in /media ,rename that file too.

OK, i tried with the terminal :

# mv bootani.qmg bootani.qmg.bak
failed on 'bootani.qmg' - Read-only file system
# su mv bootani.qmg bootani.qmg.bak
Permission denied

I guess I'm not smart enought to get access to rename these files

Again my bad for giving half baked instructions


#mount remount,rw /system
#mv /system/media/bootani.qmg /system/media/bootani1.qmg
#mv /system/media/samsungani.qmg /system/media/samsungani1.qmg

Again my bad for giving half baked instructions
#mount remount,rw /system

mmmmh, there seem to be a syntax error in this line :

usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

#mount -o rw,remount /system(yeah I forgot -o)
OR
#busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

t's either of the two commands.Depends on system
keep updating about progress
(Disclaimer:It worked for me.Doesnt mean it will work for everyone Use at owner's Discretion.I am not responsible for anything that happens to phone)

OK fine, video gone. BUT as you said, the "music" (i call it noise) remains.

SO I guess i still have to parse that /system/media directory... :/

(isn't there some config file / startip script that could give me pointers ?)

If i knew that It would be lot easier.

#mkdir /sdcard/audio
#cp /system/media/audio /sdcard/audio
find the irritating .ogg
#rm /system/audio/XYZ/irritating.ogg
XYZ is the folder containing *.ogg

Sorry I dont know a simpler method

Is there a file like Poweron.wav in /etc then use mv
