Triumph startup and shutdown sounds

[ynk1121]

Anyone get rid of the annoying lady screaming "VIRGIN MOBILE!!!" from their Triumph yet? I've managed to locate the shutdown sound. It's located: /system/media/audio/ui/VMU_Power_Down_48_24.mp3

I renamed it to ".old" at the end and put an mp3 with a few seconds of silence there with it's original name (obviously you need to be rooted to do this).

Where is the startup sound hiding?

Do a search for the shutdown/start up in the intercept, and optimus, I know I posted it somewhere

/system/etc/poweron.wav

If you don't want to Root - try Silent Boot in the Market -- works with Optimus -- other devices may vary.

No luck. They had to have moved it. I don't see any audio files in there...

on the MT Silent boot only works for the startup sound. Can't seem to disable the shutdown sound with it. Quite annoying that sound.

Hope there will be an update for it for those who are technically challenged when it comes to rooting.

you don't suppose it's one of the text tones or ringtones do you? I seem to remember getting a really annoying VM notification from sms or ringtone when I first got the phone

you can try app called android assistant it has a startup silent option that kills the startup and shutdown
its free on the market
no rooting needed, I use it on an optimus v and a intercept
I found it better than silent boot , plus the app does so much more
good luck

\system\sounds\poweron.mp3

I searched ".mp3" in root explorer in the / folder and found /hidden/data/Power-on sound/VMU_Power_Up.mp3 as well as /hidden/data/CDA/content/start-up-sound/VMU_Power_Up.mp3

edit - I put a .old at the end of both of those files and still got the startup sound...

Off topic...
WOW CSU's wired Internet rocks.... At Berkeley I can only get like 10Mb/s in the lab... and 4Mb/s on Wi-Fi

What happens if you just rocker the volume down to vibrate or silent before you restart. Works for every other phone I have tried.

I've dug through just about every .mp3 and .ogg file and still can't get rid of the startup sound...

any luck with the apps the folks above^^^ have mentioned? Android assist, etc

Seriously... Nobody has successfully disabled the annoying sound?.. VMU has the most disguising power on/off sound & splash...
