(THINK TANK) (SOLVED!) Changing lock/unlock sounds in froyo

Anyone attempted to do it? There's no option to alter them in settings so I found where they are they are located in system/media/ui I tried deleting it through astro but I didn't have sufficient permissions -_- any suggestions? Id love to have my own little lock sound instead of that barely heard sound. And yes I got the idea from the ipod touch ability to do that when its jailbroken. If its possible on that I know it is on android

Yes, that option should be possible on a rooted device. I think once your rooted (which you are) that you find the file that contains the sounds and simply add your sound to the list. I think the only way to do so might be through usb. Plug in the phone via usb and drag the sound file onto your phone and it should work. I've never done this before, but I've read about it with past Android devices. Hopefully it will work for you. If it does or does not work please be kind to let me and others know.

I haven't seen any way where you can choose, but the unlock sound is found in /system/media/audio/ui/
idk if mp3's work, but I'm assuming replacing the Lock/Unlock ogg's with another one of the same name would work. It's easy to convert to ogg anyway.
I've always wanted to do this with some old school 8 bit sounds or even metal gear codecs but never got around the time to trying.

How do you convert it to ogg? And of course ill post if it works or not no problem. Ill try it through adb I guess since astro doesn't let me do it. Anyone else know a method besides adb and terminal that will let me get to root folders? I know droid explorer and all that but I'm 17 which means no credit card lol

An easy way is using a website like media.io
As far as I know, no root explorer apps work on our phone. I could be wrong.
Easiest way is going to clockwork recovery, mounting system and pushing.
I can confirm it works. I just have to lower the volume of my files because they're WAY too loud lol.

Ok sweet! Can you tell me exactly what you did?
Wait lemme take a guess
Adb pushed the lock sounds to the directory? Or pulled them first then pushed them?
Sent from My Rooted Htc Espresso

I just pushed, it overwrote the original. Don't need to backup if you still have the zip for the rom.
Just make sure when you're in clockwork recovery System is mounted so you can get in there through adb.

Here's a vid to see it in action. Sound is still a bit too loud for me, going to edit the volume again to lower it. I want to sound cool but not obnoxious lol.
EDIT: Keep in mind your Unlock sound flickers on/off when you lock your screen with the desktop clock on.

Alright cool i guessed that. You think maybe we could tell Cyan what we found and he could make it an option in cm6? And you think it would work with a regular MP3? ill test if you like but man thats nice and loud. At the website what level of volume you put it? high,medium, low or what? and dude where do you get your sounds from? google is not working with me right now lol i could just use ringdroid and make an Mp3 then convert but ehh idk.

Couldn't hurt to ask Cyan. But if he's busy working on CM6 I don't wanna bother lol.
I put the highest bitrate on the converter website. Shouldn't matter anyway, the file is still going to be like 20 kbs unless you use a long ass sound. (Which I don't recommend lol)
Personally I use Acoustica MP3 audio mixer to edit my ringtones. I lowered the volume in there, then converted on the website.
As for where I get my sounds, I google lol. "Videogame title here" + sound effects or sounds.

[BOOTANIMATION][Q] Honeycomb Boot Animation from Xoom Help

Hi all. This isnt new but for those of you that havent found it yet this is the Xoom Honeycomb boot animation feel free to download. But I need assistance, after installing it when the animation ends and it is about to loop there is a quick flash to white screen and then it continues. Not too big of a deal but was wondering if anyone could help me, Im kind of a perfectionist but have no idea how to fix it myself. Thanks
Heres a vid of what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWnKu5hr7g&feature=player_embedded
and I will attach the bootanimation.zip
For those that dont know. All you have to do is take the .zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to the /system/media folder. Backup your old boot file if you want.
Edit: Found a ported version for the droid x that looks pretty good going to attach that. I also attached two landscape bootanimations. One has the Honeycomb Bee at the beginning and the other doesnt. Just thought you guys might want to see it.

I looked at the frames, theres nothing that shows a white flash there but once it played on the phone, i see the flash. also for our vision phones, we need it to be 480x800. the zip files are all 512x256 and its all stretched

Looks sexy

Just looked at it....size is still the same.

If it looks good, I'll get it to work.
*edit*
Looks very blurry..... can someone provide me with a higher resolution version?

Thanks everyone. Ill scour the internet and try and find a better resolution
Edit: I found a landscape version of it that looks a little better I will add it to the first post in case anyone wants

Oh man that thing is totally SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me want!!!!

Can anyone create a zip that we can flash through clockwork? I'm unsure of what to do with this zip and the placement of files? I believe its something like placing it in the data/local but again I'm not sure

Yup, that's where it can go..

Installed this and its freakin BEAUTIFUL on G2. It could be better though, but I feel I'm nitpicking at that point with the black colors looking smudgy

Your right. Just put it in the data/local folder and your done.
(use root explorer or some other file explorer, that lets you navigate the android files)
Reboot to see the animation.

does the phone have to be rooted?? not sure exactly how to install..

I took out some of the solid black screens and it seems to flow better without the long breaks.

Has anyone found a way..

To port over the iPhone emoji? its getting a little lame not to have a universal emoji.. but surely if Handcent can do it the system should be able to..

Found THIS
Download, unzip, replace /system/fonts file of same name, reboot. It only covers about 70ish% of emoji. Better than 0%.
Nandroid Backup before flashing... you've been warned.

So it zips it into correct spot or do I have to by hand?

Unzip and physically put the file in the directory listed but nandroid first.

roger.. doing now. Thanks man.

Ok, hate to be an idiot here, but I was taught the only dumb question is one un-asked.. Astro will not move the files or replace.. seems maybe the system is using the font? If I can do this in recovery then I am unsure of how.. little help on the moving of said file and replacing?
Sorry man.. maybe I am missing something?

That is the system folder [internal memory] and astro can't access it, well write to it; you'd have to use root explorer to paste it there.

This. You must be rooted to have superuser permissions (access to write to the /system partition).
Use Root Explorer like roxxors said, give it SU permissions, navigate to your system/app folder, mount R/W at the top right (read/write) and then you can long press on items to delete or modify the apps and permissions.
Remember you have to mount R/W before you can edit, paste, move things into, or otherwise modify what's in /system

Its ok as long as you get it figured out.

Dude, that sucks man. I saw your post about it earlier and how someone said "Did you have a phone locator app?"
I've used locating apps in the past, but being a performance freak I try to keep my phone pretty barebones. Hearing your tale of sadness makes me wonder about reinstalling it.
Wouldn't do much use if the person who took it knows the first thing about Android. Not that I ever would but if I stole an EVO first thing I would do is turn of GPS and do Airplane Mode and either uninstall locating apps or do a factory reset.
But maybe someone found it on accident and it will be at the lost and found tomorrow?
Or maybe this is God's way of telling you to switch to the EVO 3D when it comes out!

Well me being the mini guru I am, keep my gps off when not in use, and had no locator apps, and called my mom to call sprint and deactivate it and but a bad esn on it [which they did]. Its rooted, with all the bells and whistles, so I don't expect to get it back, and like I said, its been deactivated...and have to use a "shudders" blackberry for like 10 days, til i get the replacement. And it may be...

well works mostly.. still a few I still cant see, but it seems to be working! Thanks guys.

[MOD] How to add Cyberon Voice Commander to Virtuous Fusion

What’s needed:
Root Explorer (or ADB for you veterans)
A measure of common sense.
Virtuous Fusion (any version)
Fingers
Alright kids, here we go.
1) Download the attached VoiceCommander.apk
2) Download this zip and extract the file.
3) Use root explorer to move VoiceCommander.apk to /system/app.
4) I gave it rwxrwxr-x permissions (just in case)
5) Move the contents of your extracted lib2 file to /system/lib. Do not move the actual lib2 folder to /system/lib. Your phone won't blow up, the mod just won't work.
6) Reboot.
7) Enjoy.
If using ADB (assuming you downloaded the files to your ADB directory):
1) adb push VoiceCommander.apk /system/app
2) adb push \lib2 /system/lib/
3) fix permissions
4) reboot.
5) Enjoy. lol
There are more than the necessary lib files needed to run Cyberon Voice Commander included in the lib2.zip. This was done on purpose as I’m still testing to find out what other apps I can bring over from the LEAKED Canadian Official Glacier 2.3.3 / 2.1 VANILLA Sense ROM to Virtuous Fusion.
Please click the Thanks button if this helped you out.
Thank you TrueBlue_Drew, ckisgen, eViL D, Football and also anyone else I may have inadvertently left out. You guys rock.
eVil D, please feel free to add this (and anything else I find) into your next Virtuous Fusion update.
If any of you guys want to package this into a flashable .zip file, just let me know and I’ll credit you and add it into the OP.
Finally, the standard disclaimer:
I am not responsible for your phone bricking (I'd truly be amazed if you figured out how to do this by following my instructions and would likely ask for your autograph if you did so), your phone boot-looping, anything Donald Trump says, your first born being born with 13 fingers and 4 toes (exactly), or your girlfriend leaving her cell phone at my place (I reminded her to take it off my night stand).
Side note: Cyberon can map to your genius button if you're using 1.0.2
____________________________________________________________
HTC Locations works as well. However, the widget does not.
Download
Extract
Push to /system/app/
give it rwxrwxr-x permissions
reboot.

Worked like a charm. Good instructions. Nice Interface vs Genius.

Thanks! I played around with this in the other ROM, but decided I liked Virtuous better. That damn lockscreen/carousel combination is just too damn pretty. Anyway, I liked it enough to bring it over.

Thanks I like having a bit more than just google search!

I initially tried the genius/dragon 'dicktation' .zip install but that didn't work. I haven't looked much into it yet though. Currently working on this Netflix situation. Will probably look into Genius in a little bit.

[Tutorial] on lock and unlock sounds[MOD]

Here, is a easy way to change lock and unlock sounds on stock lock screen. I founds this in a lot of different places with Google search and decided it would be nice to post it here for people that do not know.
1.) Make a backup like you always should.
2.)navigate to system/media/audio/ui
3.)make a backup of your original sounds by putting .bak at the end of them.(I always make a folder in the sd and put them there to avoid clutter after I make the backup)
4.place your new files into the ui folder and set permissions to 644 and reboot.
5.) All done!
Want some files to try this out? Download either star wars light saber or mgs codec slider sounds here:
1.)star wars- http://db.tt/Nyy3Vz1d
2.)codec slider- http://db.tt/O1ojUw8S
Remember nobody here on xda is responsible for YOUR phone!

Actually I was thinking the same thing. I would like to have a whole system sound change. What I mean by that is if I want all my system sounds such as lock, unlock, and the sound on button press and low battery to all have a new sound. Just have to convert some sounds to ogg format first. If I do it would be all in one package though. (E.g. all mgs package or all star wars etc etc).
