Noob here.

Anyways, I have a Samsung Admire and I decided to search out the folders to see what I could find.

Well for those of you who want to delete the default ringtones but don't know where to look here's where.

Using Root Explorer or your choice, go here:

/System/media/audio/ringtones

In there are the default ringtones and they have file extenions of .ogg

Clicking on them will play them. Point and hold and you can then delete them. I would suggest that you make a copy and place them on your SDCard just in case you want to reload them.

If you want to change the sounds that the phone makes when you click an app or use the camera go here:

/System/media/audio/ui

So for example if you want a scream file every time you click the camera button, you can.

Same for notifications and alarms

Now if you want to change the shutdown screen on your Samsung go here:

NOTE: there are 29 images with the file extension of .png. Think of each image as a frame in part of a full animation.

/System/media/video/shutdown

Now for the bootscreen it is in this area:

/System/media

It is called bootani.qmg (this is the metropcs boot image) and samsungani.qmg (this is the samsung logo that brightens and dims

I haven't played around with them, but if you know of a program that can edit them, let me know. Thanks.

Okay so just a few minutes ago I deleted the bootani.qmg file after of course making a copy to the SDCard.

Well it worked like a charm. The boot screen is gone and only the audio played "hello, hello hello".

Now to find the pesky audio file for that and no more MetroPCS logo...

On to further exploring.

Okay upon further exploring I found this:

/System/bin

In there are files that configure certain things.

Three are called playlogo, playsound and samsungloop.

Of course the samsungloop config is for looping the samsung ani file I found.

Has anyone know of a program that could edit/open the other two?

Thanks.
