In this post, I'll be showing you how you can remove the start-up and turn-off tones from the Tecno N3 Android Smartphone (In my own opinion, I consider it very annoying)
You'll need to have your phone rooted before you can do this because it requires a modification of your phone's Read Only Memory (ROM).
You can learn how to root your phone here.
You also need to have a working SUPERUSER app installed on your phone. Download Superuser here.
Finally, you will need to have installed Root Explorer to have access to your phone's ROM. Download Root Explorer here
Disclaimer: Removing start-up and turn-off tones is risky and requires extreme caution and so I will not be responsible for any damage that may be done to your device.
If you have all these requirements, then let's proceed.
STEP 1
Launch Root Explorer and accept when Superuser prompts for superuser permissions
STEP 2
Click on Mount R/W as shown here .
STEP 3
Go to 'system' folder and then to the 'media' folder. Proceed to the 'audio' folder where you will see two media files: power_on.ogg and power_off.ogg.
STEP 4
Move the two media files to your SD Card and you're done.
Without the media files in their default location, your phone will not play the start-up and turn-off tones.
The Tecno N3 runs Android OS 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), so I'm pretty sure this trick would also work on other
Android powered Tecno devices running Gingerbread.
