Cracking samsung bootanimation sound

[VinhNgT]

Maybe set a delay before kill the audio server ?

The results will still be the same except that you might want see the so open/close. You could try it and see what happens but I doubt it would change anything (add a sleep command in service.sh script)

[VinhNgT]

I added sleep 5 and the sound no longer cracking, that why i asked you to add some delay into your module, I don't know if it will cause any problem though

[Zackptg5]

Sorry for the delay. When did you set the sleep command in the script?

[VinhNgT]

After i noticed the cracking boot sound of course

[Zackptg5]

I mean where in the service.sh script did you put it haha

[VinhNgT]

Right after the "#!/system/bin/sh"

[Zackptg5]

Oh, that could cause issues. Can you move if after the sepolicy statements (right before the am start command) and see if that does the trick too?

[Zackptg5]

Actually, better yet, before the am start command, put: ( sleep 5

Then at the end of the script, put: )&

[VinhNgT]

Yeah, seem like it work too

[VinhNgT]

Btw English is not my primary language so sorry for any inconvenience :)

Hmm, so I tested it on my op5t (which is one of the problem devices that needs the am start stuff). When I put the ( )& around that section (which means that other scripts can run while that section is still going), it doesn't work. The problem is that if we have the sleep statement not inside ( )&, then other service scripts will get delayed which could break other modules. So I can't think of a way to add this to the mod for that reason. This leaves you with 2 options: 1) Remove boot animation sound (system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg) 2) Delete the sleep 5, and the last 3 lines of the service.sh script (the am start line and lines after it). Since it worked for you with the ( )&, that means that you don't need that stuff anyways. (I think this would be the best option for you)

[Zackptg5]

I added this to the troubleshooting section on the OP in case other users run into this

[VinhNgT]

Ok, thanks for the support, it's just so annoying that every time i boot the phone, i have to hear the crazy "TV-static-sound" for like 1 second

[Zackptg5]

No problem. Hopefully v4a will get updated for oreo so we won't need these weird workarounds anymore
