Help Have you changed you PowerOn.mp3?

[andyo70]

I personally hate the "Hello, hello, hello" crap when starting the phone, but I love those crazy MetroPCS commercials with those two Indian guys. So I've changed it.

It's real easy to do. Just get a short MP3 sound clip of your choosing and rename it to PowerOn.mp3, put it on your SD Card somewhere, then use Root Explorer to copy and paste it to the /system/sounds/poweron folder.

Here's the one I have now of the Metro guy saying "Holy Shish Kabob!" if anyone else wants it.

I changed mine to a "silent" mp3. I figure that's better than totally deleting it. The system on boot up is looking for it. So, give it one with NO audio.

I used the 1 second version from here:

Magic's Place - Minidisc Downloads

and just re-named the file PowerOn.mp3, replacing the "Hello...Hello...Hello..."

Can someone help me with this issue:

I did this:

[seanconnolly@fenrir ~/Downloads]$ adb push PowerOn.mp3 /sdcard/
803 KB/s (27483 bytes in 0.033s)

And then:

# pwd
/system/sounds/poweron
# mv PowerOn.mp3 PowerOn.old
# mv /sdcard/PowerOn.mp3 ./
failed on '/sdcard/PowerOn.mp3' - Cross-device link
# mv /sdcard/PowerOn.mp3 /system/sounds/poweron/
failed on '/sdcard/PowerOn.mp3' - Cross-device link

Can someone explain what's up with this?

Edit- Still don't know why I can't mv, and I still want to know, but then I remembered dd.

# dd if=/sdcard/PowerOn.mp3 of=/system/sounds/poweron/PowerOn.mp3
53+1 records in
53+1 records out
27483 bytes transferred in 0.017 secs (1616647 bytes/sec)

I already paid for root explorer for my phone, I don't want to buy it for someone else for a one time operation. lol

I don't use all those commands. All I did was root the phone, using zroot. Then, used Root Explorer.

But there's other FREE file managers you can use. You don't need Root Explorer, if you don't want to pay for it (again).

cp instead of mv... It is trying to make a cross-device ln (Link) with the "mv" command (Mv just re-references Inodes, and it can not do this across devices).

Full blown Linux is smarter. But, you're just using BusyBox.
