[Q] FF7 Sound package?

I am kind of suck if the default sound theme. Does anyone have a sound package that would basically make all of my sounds final fantasy menu navigation sounds? For keyboard, opening and closing of menus and such.
If not. How would I do it on my own? Any good tutorials that could guide me on "skinning" the default sounds? They are boring. Lol.

FF7??
OH! Final Fantasy VII!
Indeed it is possible. If you were to download your favorite ROM and open it up you could navigate system/media/audio/ui and see all of the system ui sounds. the TW_Waterdrop is the audible sound you get when you navigate with the touchscreen.
You can also change low battery sounds, key presses, the dialer, etc.
You would need to get the audio files you want and convert them to .ogg format(I'm assuming). Then replace the stock audio with yours.
Have fun!

Thank you for the speedy reply, sir. I figured it would be something semi-simple. Just did not know if directly modifying system sounds like that would cause a lot of problems.
Guess it is off to my favorite torrent site to see if there are any good audio packages out there.

Mp3's will work without converting them. Not sure about other formats.

I'd use this. I love their menu sounds and I always look for a ring that sounds like the phone to get other characters.

I love FF7, a big fan. But ffs, I'd be annoyed as hell if the sounds were long.. good lord, can you imagin hearing the fanfare a billion times each time you decide to open the Dialer? LOL

I more or less just want the menu navigation sounds. If I get something made up, I will definitely post it here.

Like the menu select beep, the jingly sound when you make a selection and the phone ring to call new characters. I wouldn't even mind the sword spin music when you erin a fight.

Final Fantasy soundboards
I found the developer's website who had the FFXI soundboard on the market at one point. He has FF7 there too. You can long press on each song/effect and save as ringtone, notification and/or alarm.
Enjoy.

I'm going to work on making some of them into system sounds in a flashable zip. I just need to map out what each one does.

Root, if you get it packaged up, I will love you forever (like a already do!)! I am just so busy lately, I barely have time to troll XDA, much less compile a sound package. I see someone else was requesting a Final Fantasy VII theme. Maybe you two could work together?

How many sounds have you successfully replaced?

No way to turn off shutter sound? Really? Even my PALM PRE could do that

I can't believe this isn't an option. I was trying to take some picture of a textbook in a very quiet environment and that damn shutter sound was disturbing everyone. How could they not have a option for this?!
Serious fail

Root and flash a custom rom, or just the audio tweak in the dev. section.
But I agree Samsung fail on that and the stupid increase ringtone bs.

It isn't a fail, it is to avoid legal issues. In some areas it is illegal to shut off the shutter sound on a phone/camera. AOKP allows you to shut off the sound, but will give a warning that it is not legal in all areas.

yup above is right
And if ur rooted go to system/media/audio/ui and delete anything with the word camera in it. May also be called shutter_sound I think. Problem solved

I wouldn't just delete the sound but replace with a silent .ogg file because the system still searches for the file. If your rooted with cwm look in post #3 of my wicked thread and I have a flashabe zip to silence just the shutter sounds and another to silence all camera and camcorder sounds. Just download the file and flash in recovery and it replaces the files with silent files. That should work on any custom deodexed rom.
Here is a link to the thread and its in post #3.

I nt sure it is applicable to other country roms version..
In Msia Rom version, u could turn off ur shutter sound by putting it into silent mode before u opening the camera.
This is wat i did often when went to quiet environment such as library.
U could try this solution see it works or not.

None of those apps will work without messing with the Android OS to circumvent the restriction on recording calls. They have made it very hard to get around. All these lame apps end up doing is turning on your speaker and trying to record from the ambient sound, which is really really crappy

Anyone figure this out. I found a few kernel hacks on xda, but the threads are all a year or two old and the links no longer point to existing download locations. Major thanks to this forum by the way! Couldn't have rooted my phone without you, and without root it was a paper weight after hardware keys died out.

I once had a good call recording addon when I used Jedi mindtrick ROM. I don't think you need the ROM to do it because it was from the Xposed Framework app. I activated and installed the app then scrolled down the downloads list and was able to find a phone recorder. When I installed it and reset the phone, it added an option to record phone calls to the phone menu. It saved the files to the SD card and they sound legit.
You probably know more about this stuff. Hope it helps!

Things you don't like in GS4

Well lets duscuss.
Personally I do not like that using NOVA launcher instead of Touchwiz doesn't allow to get transparent status bar.
It could be NOVA issue, but developer responded me that "Unfortunately the status bar is a function of the system software/rom and cannot be changed by a launcher"
BTW stock Touchwiz has awesome transparent status bar.
Also I do not like new Settings organization in groups. Before if was much more convenient.

I dont like too.

the transparent status bar is coded in a way that it's part of the SecLauncher. this is the same for the wallpapers. if you use a non-stock wallpaper, it won't be transparent up there even if you are using the stock TW Launcher SecLauncher. my first mod for the phone will be with the SecLauncher to improve it so more will like using it. later i will just mod the SysUI for those that want a transparent status bar while using a 3rd party launcher.
in regards to Settings grouping, there may be a firmware update later that will allow you to change it back to non-grouping. was it LG that did something similar with their Optimus G line? they had this option to change from day 1 so i don't see why Samsung wouldn't enable it in a firmware. however it's possible that they never allow this. but i'm with you on that. i had to look for things longer than normal on my bro's phone because of this.

Sound quality when listening to music... is absolutely horrible. Spent a few months with an iPhone 5 and got used to awesome sound quality. Decided that I ultimately couldn't stand the limitations so I switched back to Android. Only to realize that, as a music lover, sound quality means a lot. And this device needs some serious tweaking.
I tried the Equalizer app from the Play Store. Still has a lot of crackling and popping in the background when playing music via Play Music.
If anyone knows an equalizer app that works flawlessly on this device please let me know. Otherwise I'm stuck waiting for CyanogenMod and their awesome EQ.

Yeah, but all of my music is uploaded to Play already. Over 20,000 mp3 tracks. And even if I did resort to playing local media only... the sound quality is still an issue. So that doesn't really resolve the problem.

Somebody knows is this a hardware or software issue?
