[Q] who wants to help me change swype keypress sounds???

i hope someone will...
im using a glass crack keypress image for my themed swype & i have a glass crack .ogg sound file i want to use but it wont work
what i changed was the KeyPressAries.ogg found in swype.apk under assets, i found the sound file i wanted to use & changed it to .ogg renamed it to KeyPressAries, & replaced it using 7zip & all it did was lose the keypress sound...

I don't really know anything about anything lol but I have heard of things like this being sensetive to the size of the file especially something like the keyboard which may remain loaded and need to be cached. Try to get the size of the new file the same or smaller than the one you are replacing.
Again this is random speculation but it makes sense to me...

Yeah, I did a little googling for you. Try convert to mono if its not already. Beyond that I use audacity to do audio editing. I work on IVR systems and sometimes they are sensetive to bit rates and such so if you want to send me the file I can give it a shot, but if you are comfortable with audacity (free opensource sound editor) try the instructions on this forum for reducing ogg file size:

Ok, So the aries file was actually only 0.14 seconds long while the glass break was 0.94. Quite a bit longer...
aries was about 5k (4982 bytes) so I did a few things to try to hit those targets for length and file size.
glass_break_compressed.ogg is your original file, same length, with more compression. That got it down to 10k
glass_break_trimmed.ogg I actually cut content out of the file to shorten it, but it was mostly dead space and I think it still reflects the original pretty well. that got it to 8k
glass_break_trimmed_compressed.ogg is the trimmed version with extra compression, I can't tell the difference between the two on my laptop speakers, that got it to 6k.
If you can get any of the the above versions to work I would try them in that order so you get the best quality. Granted none of them are equal to or smaller than the one you are replacing in size or length, but they are down to around .24 seconds so its close on length. I couldn't get it any shorter and still have it sound nearly identical to the original.
That said... If none of those work, then this one is a little more than just trimmed (lets say chopped lol), and it includes the extra compression. Its not quite as robust as the original sound or my trimmed versions, but I think it sounds pretty good even though I had to chop out some of the meat of the audio and I got the file size down to just below the aries version.
it is called:
glass_break_chopped_compressed_5k.ogg
Thats as far as I could go and still get something resembling breaking glass. I sure hope one of them works for you! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

WOW I didnt expect that much help!!! your awesome I will test these as soon as I get a chance, but def b4 i goto bed...
P.S. I'm willing to bet its gonna be one of the last 2 lol

well......
Nothing worked... oh well i thought it was a good idea...
Edit: i think theres something else were not doing right i noticed that in 7zip the files compressed size is the same as the file size maby no compression would work but idk how to achieve that & still keep the sound the way its made to be
& also i figured out that even if i put the stock file back in i still get no buttonpress sounds......

i think it has sumthin to do with bitrate & i kno there cant be any compression. it might hafta be either mono or stereo. i kno its super specific, i got a few sound files that are downloadable on this post

Old rumor was that the file sizes had to match exactly to the kb. I don't know where I saw it and it was hard to do without getting sloppy.

Were you ever able to put the stock file back in and get it to work? I think that unless that works we won't be able to get any custom sounds in there.

I totally agree. And sorry for stealing you're thread. Just figured if a themer is searching around, it's better not to have to scrub through pages of banter. No offense intended.
On that, it should include the old midi files for ring tones. Like the battle song, boss song, aeriths theme, victory theme... Things like that

I think I may be able to put together an Animated boot animation of cloud during a limit break from the game or from Advent? How long does it need to be also and what phone do you have?

Got the original midis too and not the many self made spin offs out there.
Hey I wonder if it would be possible to have an animated lock screen of say, lifestream moving around?

Being that the limit breaks were never that long, I'd say the full animation from the game would be perfect.
And this is for Samsung Epic. Not CM7 (saw your signature, just making sure you're aware )

Omnislash Bootanimation FF7 (game)
Ok, so it's not quite evening yet but I managed to get one out... Because the videos in the game are usually displayed in wide screen format, it will be a little smaller than you might like in order to portray it in portrait mode (phone straight up and down). I've set the default frames per second to 30 but you can change that if you like. I'm not sure how long your boot animation lasts as there are countless variables that decide that. currently, at 30 fps, it should be about 40 seconds. I trimmed this up to get it that small and can trim it more if needed.
In the other file I'm including the sound file that syncs with the animation. It is in mp3 format and could possibly be off sync with your rom and/or settings due to either a slower or faster boot up. Thus, you may need to play with the fps to get it just right. Don't forget that THIS file needs to be extracted.
Now, as far as the animation is concerned, you will need to rename the zip file to whatever your current boot animation file is named. It varies from rom to rom, but it could be botanimation.Zip or vzw_bootanimation.zip, etc. It's going to either be located in the system/media folder, or system/customize/resource.
If you want the audio to work (and this is usually a shot in the dark getting it right) place the extracted mp3 file in the same folder you're dropping the bootanimation file in. You may need to rename it to like, android_audio or something. If most of your system's sound files are not in mp3 format, you may have to convert it to whatever audio format they are in using some sort of sound editor (good luck with that).
Let me know if you have any requests to change this animation and let me know how it works for you!
Oh one more thing.. If you don't want to lose your current botanimation forever, simply rename it to some thing else so my file won't over write it.. Don't forget to change permissions and ownership on the files after you drop them in the folder.

cant convert the .mp3 into .wav

I will do it for you tomorrow or you can do it by using the free computer program I use: Wavepad sound editor. Once installed, you can right click the mp3, click edit, and once the app opens, "save as" and you can select wav. I will upload it tomorrow if you haven't already done it. How is the bootanimation? I had to up my frames to 80 since my phone boots too fast

[mod] Misc system sound mods

I made a post on a Portal audio mod for the S-Pen and thought I would search and find some sweet sounds for different system sounds. Use a Root Browser (I used Rom Toolbox) to move them into:
System
Media
Audio
Ui
You must be rooted and have the permissions set to rw- r-- r-- on the sound files.
I will update and post new mods as I find them. Please feel free to post your mods or make suggestions.
Here is the post of my Portal S-Pen sound mod.
chuko303 has kindly shared a few very good sound mods in this post as well. Please check them out if you like the system sounds mods.

Also if anyone forgets to make a backup of the stock audio files, I have one and can upload it for whomever needs it.

[mod] Misc system sounds
Here is a low battery file that I haven't yet heard yet due to the awesome battery our phone has. It is the Pac-Man death sound we all know well.
My phone finally got down to 15% batter last night and personally I think the Pac-Man sound is f'ing sweet for the low battery sound.
Here is the like for it

This next one is a real good one for you Metal Gear Solid fans. It includes the codec open and close files for the S-Pen and the alert sound for the battery low tone.

If anyone is a fan of the animated show Archer then you will love this mod pack that I am working on. I currently have multiple mods for different actions but I am not quite finished yet. Below is what I have so far.

S-Pen Attach 1 - Archer "Damn, I had something for this."
S-Pen Detach 2 - Kreiger "Aww, pigly."
S-Pen Attach 2 - Kreiger "Aww, goatly."
Power Off - Archer "Pam, I will end you."
Power On -Archer "Don't you see me rocking this hard slab of chiseled man body?"
Message Alert - Dr. Kreiger "Zing"
Low Battery - Archer "Danger zone"
Charger Connection - Archer "Just the tip!"

Doing something wrong?
scratch the following. I moved them, set the permissions, deleted the noti2 files and renamed the new ones to replace them. they then showed up in the spen notification selector in settings.
I'm fairly new at all of this modding, but getting better at it I think. I copied the files over and extracted them, moved them to the system/media/audio/ui folder, replaced the files, and set permissions on the files to rw-r--r-- but it's still not making the sound when I attach and detach the pen. I can even select the files from the ui folder and play the sounds, so I know the sound is there. Is there something I'm not doing or should be doing? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks, I'm currently working on a full archer sound theme. I've got a few done at the moment. I'll start posting them here when I get off work today. Be warned now, some of them may be slightly suggestive so use them at your own risk

The Archer sound theme is up and labeled. I have a few alternative sounds for some of them that I will be adding as well.

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?

I was rezipping. I will try just dropping the files into the existing zip.
I didn't change any of the other stuff like file names or anythinng. I just took the existing jpg's and edited out the part i didn't like and resaved them as the same file names.

I wasnt doing anything more than adding a black box over top of a section of the animation I ddnt like. But I dont think that was the issue because I left some frames of the animation untouched and those didnt work either.

You should take video and make that into a boot animation!
Of course you'd never reboot your phone again....ever...
Good luck with the dentist. Do have someone take video of you leaving the office. From what Im told I was quite the entertainment for about 3 hours as the drugs wore off. I don't remember a bit of it. Though I kind of remember hitting on the nurse....

Yep feeling better today. And I got my bottoms pulled. They were impacted
And not sure if I actually posted it, but upload the pictures you want edited just zip them up. I'm pretty sure it's paint's save format that's breaking it.

CTOS Bootup Animation

Hello all!
I claim no fame to this bootup animation. It's a CTOS Bootup from the game WatchDogs. I got the main animation zip from This XDA page in the G3 Forums. All I did was convert it to .qmg format so I can use it on my Note 4. it works perfectly on my phone using DynamicKat ROM.
Extract the zip and place the two files into /system/media and change permissions to rw-r-r- .
EDIT:For those implementing the sounds, it goes into /system/media/audio/ui
As always I recommend changing the original files to *.qmg.bak (* is the like files you are copying over) in case the world explodes, your GF dumps you, or the phone simply doesn't like being touched.
P.S. I shouldn't have to remind you, but just in case... Warranty is voided, do at your own risk, etc etc.

If you go to the link I provided in the OP, can scroll down the list of his available stuff till you hit the CTOS one. That's what I have here, just in .QMG format instead of a bootanimation.zip.

Looks pretty cool. I like the others posted on the op too. Is it difficult converting them? Thanks for this.

It's not that difficult, but depending on the size of the bootupanimation.zip and number of images, it can take a while to convert. I followed this guide and did it in a few minutes. Warning though, if you are doing this yourself the limit to this program is 255 images. The samsung converter seems to auto adjust the bootup size to the images used. Be sure to follow the guide to a 'T' and you'll be fine.
If you want me to I can do a few conversions or help you with some steps. Just let me know.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out and I'll ask if I got any questions

Thanks works great on my side

It would be much cooler if theres sound on it

That's a good idea, I've never been much for sounds with my bootup. I can look into how to make that happen though.

Me neither.. but lookin at the ctos bootup its like im missing something lol

Wouldn't you know it, MAJOR blonde moment. That site I linked includes the bootup sounds. Updated OP with the zip to extract it and copy it over.

Lol ? thank u btw

Well, I'm having issues with the sound on bootup. I changed permissions and all, made sure the sound work while in the phone, and nothing during bootup. Could be the ROM I'm on. Using DynamicKat. I'm mostly deaf though so it might simply be a quiet sound. Lemme know what's up.

The original bootanimation.zip had 265 images, I had to delete a few in order to get the program to render the animation. It's limit is 255. That's why the sound is a little off for you. In the ROM I'm using, there was no PowerOn.ogg. had to look at another ROM to see where the bootup sound was located. It's where it should be but I hear no sounds. No big deal for me, glad it works for you though.

I c, my sound is on system-media-sound-ui hopefully that could help

Works great man. Liked this game and the boot animation is really cool

Screen shots????
