Guide to changing "Audible Selection" sound or any other ui sound

Hey Everyone. Thought I'd post a lil tutorial on how to change the sound file that plays when you select things (if you have the option enabled, of course) or any of the other sounds like the keyboard presses.
Disclaimer: If you mess your phone up, which I can't possibly imagine since this isn't affecting important system files, dont blame me!!! ALWAYS perform a Nandroid backup when modifying anything that requires root access.
YOU MUST HAVE ROOT TO DO THIS !!!
You will need the android sdk to send the files over.
Step 1 :
First step is to get the sound clip you want to use. I'm using a sound from the starcraft 2 website (the sounds that play when you hover over options). There are multiple ways to capture sounds from websites. I stumbled upon a nice lil browser toolbar called "Free Recorder" from here. If you have a Creative sound card they include an option called "What you hear" in the recording section.
Step 2:
Once you have your sound file you must convert it to ".ogg" format and save it as Effect_Tick. There are a number of ways to do this. For those of you using winamp, just download the "Winamp Essentials Pack" plugin and you'll have the option to convert to ".ogg". Another option is to download "Audacity", a free sound editing app, and then download the "oggdropXPd" plugin. If you have Nero then open the file you want to use in "WaveEditor" and save it as ".ogg".
Step 3:
Once you have your file saved as a .ogg it is time to send it over to your phone. Connect your phone to your computer. Do Not mount. Open a command prompt in the "tools" directory of the sdk. Type the following, pressing enter after each line:
adb remount
adb shell cp -r system/media/audio/ui sdcard/ (This will create a backup of all the ui sound files to a directory on your sd card called "ui")
adb shell rm -r system/media/audio/ui/Effect_Tick.ogg (This will delete Effect_Tick.ogg from your phone.)
adb push c:\Effect_Tick.ogg system/media/audio/ui (This will copy your file to your phone. Substitute whats in green to w/e directory you have your file in.)
After entering these commands you will have your new sound file rdy to go!!!
Just substitute "Effect_Tick" for w/e the name is of the file you are replacing. If you replace the file while the "Audible Selection" or "Sound Feedback" (for virtual keyboard) option is enabled, then you must uncheck that option and recheck it.
Attached I have the Effect_Tick I'm using and the BB Storm "click" from a guy named ebl4287 over at modmyi.com. Big THANKS to him!!!
ENJOY ! ! !

Thanks! I'm using your effect_tick.ogg as I type this.

Thought it was time to finally give back to this awesome community. Glad your enjoying it

Sweet i've been wanting to do this forever!

finally!!!!!!!

If you guys use a different sound, please share and provide a link.
When I get home I'm gonna get the sound clip thats used in MGS menu selection screen.

Here is my two cents... I replaced all the files in my system/media/audio/ui folder.
Remove the .zip extension and extract with your choice of decompression tool.
Follow the steps above and adb push each file to the UI folder from wherever you extracted it and enjoy...

Very cool. Im using the one you posted. Thanks.

Great find, thanks! yet another reason to have root

Glad ur all enjoying this. Hopefully more people will share the custom sounds they are using and turn this thread into something really special

Yeh the ones I posted were sound bites from Star Trek Next Generation. Hope you all enjoy it.
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT CLIPPED AND I'LL DO IT GUYS...

Okay here is a clip from MGS. Its the menu screen selection sound.
I spent all night trying to get this sound clip. Finally I had to dissect a psp cft theme which uses "vag" sound clips... dont ask. Then went from vag to wav to ogg.
Ill be adding more for the keypresses later.

Okay so how do we change the sounds for the HTC_IME keyboard? I've changed the KeypressStandard.ogg and KeypressDelete.ogg and unchecked and rechecked but it wouldnt change the sound. I then disabled Touch Input and enabled Android keyboard which than changed the sounds but I dont like the Android keyboard.

Alright, I found a perfect sound for myself and am posting it for y'all. Yeah, I'm from Texas.

Good question, wondering this myself. Athough I do like the old-school typewriter sounds

anyone know how to change the wallpaper set yet? i couldn't find the folder that contains it.

Well, the sounds are in the apk file. If u open the apk with a zip program (I use 7zip) it'll be HTC_IME.apk\res\raw\. So if you change them in there then resign the apk and push it to the phone, it should work.

[MOD] Enable custom Boot Sounds in CyanogenMod 07/15/2011

Enable Custom Boot Sounds
First make sure you are running a cyanogenmod based rom, i have only tested on CM7, but i believe the capability exists in CM6 as well.
Flash from recovery:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4cr7aa4lg51y8pc
BUSYBOX REQUIRED - if you dont have a proper busybox install (like cm7) this can sometimes fail. if you experience issues, mount system rw before running the script.
Zip contains the default "DROID" sound, to replace with your own see below.
Instructions:
1) Flash from recovery over current rom
2) reboot phone
Once you have flashed this you will also have some new commands in terminal or adb:
enablebootsound - enables boot sound if enable from recovery was unsuccesful
bootsoundtoggle - turns bootsound on or off
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new boot sound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new bootanimation.
Feel free to post your custom sounds in this thread. i'll try and keep the first post updated.
Once again - to set custom sound or animation place them on root of sdcard named appropriately i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Enjoy.
bootsound enable script by mrdaviso modified by me for compatibility and to eliminate double runs, from a tutorial posted by spiicytuna

Very cool idea and a very nice implementation. I had a media force close as soon as the phone finished turning on, but then again I was using a 5mb mp3. Also as soon as I did "newbootsound", the selected song started playing. Other then that everything works exactly as you described . Ill post some logs up tomorrow. Thanks!

Nice work. I always thought this had to be done by fixing the links in /system/bin/bootanimation
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I'm always changing my animations and will now be changing bootsounds....so I hope you don't mind, I made a small change to /system/bin/bootsound
Its now
#!/system/bin/sh
bprop=/system/build.prop
play=$(cat $bprop | egrep -c -i -o ro.config.play.bootsound=1)
if [ "$play" = "1" ]; then
stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.ogg
stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.mp3

----------------------------------------
Never mind. A wipe and a few reflashes later and I got it working right.

In CM7 RC2, remember to type "su" before typing enablebootsound...
It works! great add-on to cm7, u tha man!

In Terminal Emulator period you need to type su (to gain root access) before typing any of the commands.
I'm running CM 6.1.1 and it worked great..only thing is the boot audio cuts out about 5 seconds before my animation ends (and it's not the audio clip..it's 30seconds long)..is there any way to increase the length of this?

In case you wanna add to the OP, this is from enablebootsound.

EDIT no terminal required now

Already have the perfect start sound. Android Hell wave from Portal. Other good ones would be "Hello friend" and "Amusing Fact" from Portal.

when i run enablebootsound after su and reboot...it loop....
but i get into recovery and press fix permissions ..it sound DRIOD...
well done!

I was able to get this working on my evo shift cm7 nightly rom, great work!

update:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dxjcc9cyhzyalz3
if you have already flashed and used the previous version, this one is of no use to you.
The only modification is after flashing when you are rebooting you will see your splash screen for a few seconds, then your device will reboot and continue like normal. ONE REBOOT is normal. after this reboot the boot sound will automatically play. so for you self proclaimed super noobs, all you do is flash and reboot. once again after flashing your device will boot to splash screen for a few seconds then reboot and greet you with your animation and the default android sound.
see OP for changing the sound.

If you can, why not build an app that lets you change your sound? Something similar to Root Tools by Rummler. You can swap boot-animations easily with that app, granted you can only change from the ones he has. There are 24 of them.

sounds like a good idea. I would use an App to do this. Shouldn't be too hard, as right now I use gscripts to do most of my changing/testing.

This will never be released as an app by me. Script only. a few commands in terminal should be easy enough, and it isn't a customization suite, it's just to enable the boot sound, the ability to change was an after thought and is a simple few lines.

I know how to get the clip to play all the way through. I got it on mine. Not sure if there are any side effects, but perhaps you would like to test it out? If so, please send me your clip.

@ amazinglarry311
Do you think this will cause any side effects? I dont know much, but I like to tinker and learn
If you remove the line that tells it to stop playing the boot audio
this
Code:
on property:dev.bootcomplete=1
stop bootsound
from
/etc/init.local.rc
so it now looks like this
Code:
# CyanogenMod Extras
# Compcache - handle at boot
service compcache /system/bin/handle_compcache
user root
group root
oneshot
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start ###
service bootsound /system/bin/bootsound
user media
group audio
disabled
oneshot
on property:init.svc.bootanim=running # to correct timin
start bootsound
### Bootsound - Safe to Delete: End ###
As long as the audio clip doesn't exceed boot time, than you should be good.
If the clip is longer, it will continue to play, until its finished...which no one probably wants.
If anyone wants to give it a shot, just backup your file, and edit it... or use the attached file. Its not zipped, just remove the .zip from the filename.
Thanks.

Viper4Android on Nexus 9

I've searched all forums for a solution to make Viper4Android work on Nexus 9.
None has been working for me without killing Chromecast support.
So I've made two solutions to make it work:
TWRP, Root and Busybox is required!
As system app:
In TWRP install V4A_2.3.3.0_[Quality].zip
Boot Android and open V4A
(Uninstall and) Install driver
Reboot Android
As normal app:
In TWRP install V4A_Conf.zip
Boot Android
Install SELinuxModeChanger and set it for "Permissive" mode
Install V4A
Open V4A and install driver
Reboot Android
I've testet with Google Music and Wimp.
PLEASE hit thanks if this helps you!

If you're on another Lollipop device the tricky part in making the V4A driver stick, is to manually edit the audio_effects.conf on the "Vendor" partition. V4A only writes to the system audio_effects.conf.

I had to edit the audio_effects.conf file in the Vendor folder to get the driver to stick. Add the lines in Step 6 of the following link: http://www.hacktabs.com/how-to-impr...ity-with-viper4android-audio-drivers-effects/
Leave out the lines for xhifi and look at the screenshot for the location in the file to add the lines.
After you do this, try to add the driver again, then restart.

I reverted to a backup before I flashed the Super Quality zip.
Which vendor folder? The /system/vendor/ folder that the driver creates or the /vendor/ folder in root? And the .conf file in /system/vendor/ already contains those lines. Even then, the driver won't stick.
If this provides more information, I'm using Dilligaf's kernel. But I'm positive that wouldn't affect the driver installation.
EDIT: Got it. I copied the audio_effects.conf in the /system/vendor/ folder and replaced the one in the /vendor/ folder. Driver sticks now

Good to hear. I'm not sure why some people have to add the lines and others don't.

Hmmm... The /system/vendor folder is just a shortcut to the /vendor/ folder on my device, so it should be the same...?
I'm on pure stock and as I see the posts, the ones having problems is on other roms or kernels.

You're right: I'm running Lollipopalooza ROM. That explains it.

Has anyone got convolver to work? The app sees all my irs files in the kernel folder, just has zero effect. Everything else works for me.

I haven't gotten mine to work either. I just noticed it. However, my Oneplus One has IRS working on 5.0.1. It could be how the driver is behaving?

Igothacked said he was using my kernel/ramdisk, I'm not sure what ROM, but the kernel in my boot.img is completely stock, the only edits were to the ramdisk, and I'm positive that would not effect anything with this. I'm not sure about what Roms were being used, I guess it could make a difference, maybe permissions are slightly different or there is a difference with some symlinks with different roms and stock.

Thanks, also working on stock Acer A1-810 too.

I'm also running theLollipopalooza ROM and had to edit the file manually before the driver would install. All seems to be working fine now though. Thanks☺

[Q] Using Viper4Android with Poweramp on Stock Lollipop Rom

Hello, I've got a problem. I've rooted my LG G4 and now I´m on stock 10c version, bootloader is locked. I've changed SELinux to permissive and wanted to use Viper4Android with Poweramp. Viper4Android is working, besides I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-poweramp-viper4android-lollipop-t3133935 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-how-to-make-viper4android-lollipop-t3075794 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62107040&postcount=109, but I've not managed to get Viper4Android working with Poweramp. In FX compatible mode, it has just no effect, and in normal mode, it shows "Status: normal" and "Enabled: Yes", but "processing: no" in driver status. In Poweramp, DVT is disabled, in developer options, NuPlayer is disabled. So I have no idea what's wrong with this.
Has anyone an idea?
Edit: I've freezed the stock music app via Titanium Backup, so there should be no equalizer working, I think at least?

Man I m here with you.. I can't get it to work with poweramp either tried all those methods. The funny thing is it works with the stock music player, just not poweramp.
Edit: I tried the method mentioned from the first link that you have posted. This worked for me finally .

Third (manual) method, which might work for other roms and even other phones:
- Download attached zip, extract files
- Using any file explorer (ie: Rootexplorer), go into /system/Priv-app and create a folder called V4A or Viper4Android. Place ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk in this folder. While the folder isn't actually necessary, it's cleaner than just leaving the .apk inside /priv-app/
- Go into /system/media/etc and do a backup of audio_policy.conf
- Open up audio_policy.conf using a text editor, and delete the following code:
Code:
deep_buffer {
sampling_rates 44100|48000
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_EARPIECE |AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_W IRED_HEADPHONE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_SCO|AUDIO_DEVI CE_OUT_AUX_DIGITAL|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_PROXY|AUDIO_DE VICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_FM|AUD IO_DEVICE_OUT_FM_TX
flags AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_DEEP_BUFFER
}

- Reboot
- Go into Viper settings app

- Reboot

Yeah, now the first method worked for me finally too, but...! Now Android OS drains significant much more battery than before and that's why it's not a solution for me and I will abstain from using Viper4Android on Stock Rom until my guarantee expires, so I have to wait for more than a year and a half

I dont have this issue. Atleast not yet, were u using the Super high quality more( or something like that)?
also i don't think root voids u r guarantee, but its ur choice

Ok then I don't know what I am doing wrong... No I have just the High Quality Mode. Auf oh I have root but when I don't have guarantee any more, I consider to install another ROM
Respectively, on MM it's not possible to root withoout unlocking bootloader :/

Use Link2SD and convert V4A to a System App. Now it should work fine with Poweramp.

Viper4Android MTCD Discussion

Okay wanted to make a thread specifically for sharing V4a settings profiles irs etc
v4a is the best sound mod for our units since we don't have to make hardware modifications to be able to have subwoofer controls etc.
This thread is to serve the purpose of creating a space for those using V4A with car audio systems as the threads for V4a don't really address car audio much.
Before I install V4a I flash the XtremeBeats Aural Maximizer 2 zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634729
for V4a I use ARISE Sound Systems zip package, which includes V4a and other sound add-ons, I flash it via FlashFire
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
Sometimes it works better if you extract the v4arise 2.3.4.0 version (that's the best one due to the sound driver is superior than 2.5.0.5 or 2.4.0.1)
I have 13 kicker speakers including a 10'' kicker free air sub.
Here are my Settings for V4A
Enable & Force Enable are both checked
Playback Gain Control is enabled, effect is sight, strength is 4x, Max Output is at -3db
Spectrum Extension is enabled, strength is at .5 (great for spotify streaming)
Convolver - IRS is Samsung SoundAlive Clarity - Cross Channel is @ 15%
Dynamic System enabled , device is high end headphone v2 , dynamic bass @ 15%
Viper clarity enabled , cclarity mode is natural, set at 6db
All the IRS files I have loaded are located in zip attachment.
It sounds amazing now
I am playing around with listening device settings to see if i can find a compatible setting too

First check your MCU and Android version from manufacturer is up-to-date - as some introduced sub control in updates. E.g. JY from MCU v.1.90

Works just fine in my experience on JY-UL135. UI provides sub control which works with the correct MCU - JY 1.90 or greater. Nothing wrong with hardware control either - on these units if sub control isnt supported by the MCU, v4a control is limited to android apps, i.e. radio unaffected.
Please share your research.

Regardless of the MCU (i have a gs unit), the sub controls do not work period.
Maybe it's due to my setup, i have a 16 channel, harmon kardon amplifier...
V4A is processing on all applications OEM and aftermarket.

Do I have the steps correct??
1. Boot recovery
2. Install Aural Maximizer zip
3. Boot normal, make sure settings take effect
4. Boot recovery
5. Instal V4A arise zip
6.....
7. Profit

no , do this
1) root or be on malaysk rom
2) install flash fire
3) via flashfire flash aural maximizer zip
4) reboot test it out
5) either flash the v4a zip or extract the apk and isntall it as a user app and reboot
6 profit

Does flash fire depend on Google play services or similar? I was able to install the apk, however when selecting the flash fire icon, it would try to open the program and then immediately quit.
Tried both .24 and .2 flash fire.
I have the MTCD_KGL with the malaysak rom flashed

has anyone found a viper ddc to work with car speakers?

I have to open viper every time I turn on my car to get the audio processing to kick in, once I do that it works just fine, until I turn off the car and turn it on again. Do I need to convert it to a system app for it to start automatically? Have the Bonroad 7" Intel Sofia off aliexpress.

If you install it as a user app, and lock effect mode and show notification it will process normally upon boot.
When you flash it via fireflash for some reason it then does not process until you open it and uncheck and re-check enable.

make sure you have busybox installed and updated too!

has anyone found any good IRS files that they can recommend? i'm always looking for more.

has anyone played with any more IRS files or setups?

The Aroma installer gives you the options to install whatever you want.
I go with the 2.3.4.0 version because of the superior audio driver.
