I'm newly rooted and looking to customize my sounds a bit. I've been experimenting with different "effect tick" sounds, the audible selection sound. I would like to try out the windows phone 7 typing sound. Any idea where I can get my hands on those files, or other similar sounds I might be able to try out?
i am interested in this as well, I used to have an iPhone and the messaging tones while in thread (the in and out swoosh sounds) and when sending emails, was a nice little touch that ive missed on all of the other phones Ive had. Also some type of suttle sound while confirming things would be nice...
Keeping my eye in this...im interested as well
+1 also keeping an eye out

Hey guys, try the ZEDGE app. I've downloaded a new notification sound as well as a cool Gmail notification which you can change in your Gmail home page under menu, more, settings. I use this all the time. As far as changinging actual system sounds such as the little click sound you you touch on something I dont know.

To do it, you need to be rooted and go into a root explorer (I use Super Manager) and go to system/media/audio/ui. The sound file you want has to be named "Effect_Tick.ogg" and you just copy it in there in place of the existing one.
My question though is where to find the specific sound I want, which is the Windows Phone 7 typing sounds. They are nice and soft and pleasant! If anyone here has a windows phone, I wonder if it's possible for them to upload the sound here...
I found a few nice boot animations and sounds but Im having a hard time finding shutdown ones. They usually come with my roms, but on the latest one it has the boring stock Sprint shutdown animation.
Anyone have any good shutdown animations and sounds they could point me to?
Thanks
If I'm not mistaken you can get a short sound clip that you like and push it to /system/media/audio/ui. Make sure you rename it to Power_off.ogg and that should work for you.

I didnt know that- thanks!
Here's a couple shutdown ani's I came up with, one is r2d2 and its very short, the other is the android scribble but in reverse. Both of these use the old update-script from before cwm3 so if it won't flash for you, unzip the file and pull out the shutdown folder and replace the stock one in system/media/video with a file manager.

Ok the exact place to put it is /system/media/audio/ui. It has to be named Power_off.ogg so it might have to be an ogg audio file.

Thanks I will try these when I get home.
Anyone know how to change the power on sound?
I went to system/etc and swapped in a new PowerOn.wav file but it wont play on startup. Is there a size limit when doing this?
Know I'm bumping a old thread but does anyone know what controls the play length of the boot up sound? I made a clip like 20 seconds long but it only plays til the phone vibrates at start up (seems like 5 seconds or so) and that is when it cuts out.
Is this something to do with Android starting up or is there a way to alter the play length?
I was told 7 seconds is the max with the current kernel. I tried a .wav sound with 14 seconds and it just cuts off at 7.

And yeah 7 sec max
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.

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?

I am not responsible for problems you may incur.
Please do some research if you are a first timer.

By downloading you agree to these terms.WHAT THIS TWEAK DOES:
This flash-able Volume-tweak.zip includes both mods simultaneously.
1) Silent Camera!
Volume.db
Replacing the existing volume.db file, the one I'm including disables all shutter sounds (which I may change to one of the shutter sounds), autofocus sounds, and other obnoxious camera tones. I understand that Samsung's idea is to make people aware that others may be photographing them, privacy stuff and all, but let's be honest shall we? Creepers are going to creep one way or another, and the autofocus 'beep' disturbs the baby and makes the dog bark! It also disables the boot sound. Best part of this tweak, it doesn't even touch the actual camera apk!
2) Volume Enhancing!
default_gain.conf
The next is a mod adapted from the developer Meltus. You may know him for other awesome volume modifications, but this one he made for the GSIII international. This should make the phone overall louder in all respects. I have, however, adjusted it from his original settings to keep the volume from reaching 'crackling' volumes and possibly damaging the speakers. This level sounds loud and still sounds good. :good:

Do you have this mod working on your device? I ask because I got burned on the teh kernel, and I'm a little more cautious about what I flash from now on.

It's brilliantly simple. Most android phones come with these settings ingrained into the kernel, but Samsung has left them out. In theory, one could make these adjustments from on the phone itself, if you can open a .db file. Very simple, nothing that can break a phone. Just be careful not to blow out your speaker or your ears.
Sweet, Camera sounds really annoys me.

Sweet! :highfive:
As an addendum, this tweak is even neater because it disables the camera noises on a system level. I've seen a supposed higher-resolution camcording camera apk floating around that 'supposedly' disables camera noises as well... but it doesn't matter if it does because this tweak stays in effect. I don't believe this will affect other camera apps... but any Samsung camera variant should be muted.
Random you rock. Great to see you here. Your OG epic stuff was awesome. Thanks for the sound free camera!
Randomking ive seen your work before amazing stuff glad this got ported i was gonna try to port the volume mod but still no phone yet =( thanks a million anyways
Thanks for this mod. It works great. Would it be possible to mute the lock/unlock noises? I love water but I'm a little tired of hearing water droplets every time I use my phone.

For the sound boost (using the international tweak) you used the config file, correct?
That file does not, by default, exist on our US variants. I've personally included the tweak in my ROM over on T-Mobile. I've had a person or two say it made no difference. Me personally, I thought it was louder then hell (changed speaker boost from 0 to 40 and headphones from 0 to 25). If I put the volume on the lowest possible setting, its very audible still. With my headphones, I put it on three ticks and it was loud. Putting it up fully made me feel like my eardrums were going to pop.
What are your feelings on the tweaks? Do you think they actually work? Considering the config file doesn't exist by default, do you think they're actually pointed to in our system to be used?

I too noticed that the file isn't there, and was momentarily skeptical. But as the base coding is likely fundamentally identical, I thought I'd give it a chance. It's hard to fully test while at work... but I can hear my mp3 alarms quite clearly now. I had made a thread days ago regarding how my songs play fine in the player, but at half volume as alarms. The alarm was much much louder! And I generally have a fairly discerning ear.
That said, I now have to experiment the individual settings I think.

I agree the coding is likely identical. My skepticism comes more from the fact that the file doesn't exist by default. If it doesn't exist, and we add it, does anything in our system actually point to the config file in order for it to actually take effect?
Regardless, I'm pretty positive it works. I just was hoping someone had a better understanding of how it works and if it's actually pointed to.
When you play around with it, mind PMing me your results? I'm curious what you get.
For one, change the headphone settings and try with your headphones plugged in. I think they're extremely loud with the boost set to 25..

Certainly. If different values draw drastically different effects... I'll probably be making a "Louder but comfortable" version and an "Extremely loud, hearing damage may ensue" version. :good:

There will be, but I have to write up the script to delete the conf file later. The volume.db file need only be replaced by the stock one.
I've been having some fun playing with both power on and power off sounds, easy mod. Wish777 started it, but his thread kinda got buried in the general forum.
Take your favorite sound, ringtone, whatever, transcode it to an .ogg (there are online transcoders), rename to either PowerOn.ogg or PowerOff.ogg, put in system/media/audio/ui. I renamed the stock sounds to .bak in case I want to use them.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO WISH777 FROM HIS THREAD I DID NONE OF THIS!

But I need some better effect.tick sounds so it sounds better
Just changed my start up and shutdown to Die Antwoord songs.
Now almost every button you push makes a laser shot sound. It's fun. Yea, I'm not very mature sometimes.
Cannot find the letter key sound for the keyboard, or the number keys on the dialer though, or I would change them,
Can you take a 0 byte text file and rename it with .ogg extention and replace the original files so that the power on and off sounds would be silent?
Just use root explorer and change them to .bak would probably work, but you can turn most of them off in settings.
I can not get this to work. I renamed the PowerOn.ogg and copied my own into its place and set permissions but it still plays the samsung sound.
IIRC from my S2 there is something else you have to do erase rename etc.. to make this work. ???
GOT IT
Just an FYI in case others find this thread. on the SPRINT Note II changing poweron.ogg does nothing. there is ANOTHER poweron.ogg in the SPR folder (in the ui folder)
change THAT one and the sound changes
