[HOW TO]make OGG files without downloading software - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

The following link is to an online file converter. You can upload any sound file and convert it to ogg, wav, mp3 and wma. I use this site all the time. You can use this to convert sound clips into files for your PowerOff and PowerOn. Once you download the converted file, name it PowerOn.ogg and replace the file in SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI and when you boot the phone on this is the file that will be played. If you want to do PowerOff sound file make sure to make an OGG and a WAV file the Off sequence.
Make sure to make a copy of the original PowerOn or PowerOff file, in case you dont like what ever you made.

I use Sony SoundForge

This is a website, no need to download any software on your PC. I hate to have to download software that I will only use from time to time. That is why I posted this link, i am sure there are others out there that do not want to download software just to convert a few files.

Where is the link ?

It is back up, sorry about that. I swore I had in there

What is the advantage of having a file in that format? I use a custom ringtone that is a "midi" file. Why would I worry about converting it?

For power on and power off sounds. The power on is an ogg file as the power off along with a wave file.
So you can make whatever sound clip you want to hear when you turn the phone off and on.

Aha, Explodingboy did something similar to this a while back for some other phone function. I had the Stewie "How dare you!" on my phone for a while. It was hysterical. I still don't understand why it has to be in that format, unless you are saying only that format would work. You do mention other formats in the first post.

I forgot I had posted this.

Ever dance with the devil in the pale of the moonlight ?

Nice find. I always used Sound forge but yeah for on the go... This comes in handy

does the sound file have to be a certain length or will a 3 or 4 min song just cut off when the phone finally powers up?thanks in advance for the help.

I use Audacity for this, but it's not a bad find. Thanks for the reference!

Pretty much just find a sound on zedge or whatever and rename it to poweron or off.ogg and itworks fine

ohh cool, i'll give it a shot then, new to this still...only been tweaking my phone for about 5 weeks now
Yea search audacity tutorials on google. Basically you just open up the android_audio.mp3 file and the song you want to use in audacity. Copy/paste the parts you want together. Then export it as mp3. Adb it to your phone like normal and tada.

chompsms - vroom sound

Does anyone know where I can find the vroom sound that plays when a message is sent in ChompSMS?
Did you check in the apk? It is just like a zip do any zip decompression tool should open it for you. Ill look now though and see
Look in com.p1.chompsms-1.apk/res/raw there is some theme zips and 3 .ogg files. Should be one of the .ogg files.
Many thanks

my ringtones don't repeat

any custom ringtone i try on the phone, whether .ogg .mp3 .wav will only ring once and stop repeating during the call, however the phone keeps vibrating on
stock tones work fine
another sidebug: if you have no bars and try to make a call, the phone gives you error saying to turn off airplane mode which it's not in
wtf??
I have the same issue
same here.. I want my custom ringtone to be used on my new GN
I've found that myself...
MP3 ringtones won't repeat.
It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.

Where do you store the ogg file to use it for custom ring tones?
Bug or intentional... Hmm

Funnily enough, in the folder called "ringtones" when you connect it up to your PC.
There's a seperate folder for notifications...
and there's also a seperate folder for alarms!
Fun isnt it?

Interesting, so they're forcing us to use the OGG format.
Will the created field work on a regular MP3?

I don't use winamp, but itunes.
How can i edit the file info?
I can edit information about title, album, author..
Could someone post a screenshot of the created field with winamp ?
Same issue here with a mp3 again as above.
Will try to create and edit the ogg later.
Oh, I cannot imagine OGG format can solve the problem. Before I see this, I write a really little app to solve the problem.
Cyclic Ringtone
http://market.android.com/details?id=thinkpanda.cyclicringtone
Yes, sucks that it doesn't loop.
You guys can always use a program called "goldwave" to lengthen your mp3's. Copy and paste the mp3 until it's as long as you need...

why don't you actually try what i said before dismissing it, imbecile? sheesh, some people like to make things overly complicated and have yet more processes they dont need running on their phones

No, I did not dismiss your solution. On the contrary, I do really appreciate the OGG+ANDROID_LOOP way to solve the ringtone issue I apologize if I give you an impression that I don't like it.
It just turn out that I see this thread after I have finished the app...
As a ordinary user point of view, I like your solution more than mine. But there are scenarios that it is not always easy to convert a ringtone to OGG from MP3 and add a flag on the street. (may be someone develop an app for that? )
I found it easier to convert the file in Audacity and in the save dialog box you can add a new field called ANDROID_LOOP and set it to 'True'
Worked fine
Thank you all for the very useful information I have found in this thread. I have a question though: is this also applicable for alarms, or just for actual ringtones? TIA

I was "served" with this issue too with my brand new Galaxy Nexus. The ring tones I use are already in OGG format, just lacked the ANDROID_LOOP tag. Instead converting them again with Audacity, I found a little proggie which can just edit the tags. Here is a link to the download location - http://www.gausi.de/flogger-en.html
Sources are included as well as pre-compiled version (just exe to start - no installation or anything - very simple). Precompiled one is in German, but isn't difficult to figure out. Worked for me like a charm to make my ring tones looping. Thanks for the ANDROID_LOOP tip!!!

hmm...not sure about alarms, the ones i took off my old N900 repeat OK when the alarm goes off so i dont know if it's just rings tones, why not give it a try and see for youself?
Not like you have to wait for your usual alarm to test it!
And for the linux guys (like me) this is a simple batch command that will convert a mp3 file to a an ogg auto-repeat ringtone:
mpg321 custom_ringtone.mp3 -w raw && oggenc raw -c "ANDROID_LOOP=TRUE" -o custom_ringtone.ogg ; rm -f raw

MP3 ringetone not looping

Hi, on my GN 4.0.2 I have selected a mp3 as my ringtone. The strange thing is that after playing the "song" once, it stops ringing. On my old SGSII the same mp3 file was looping until call was answered. Anyone experiencing the same, or have a solution?

You need to convert the .mp3 to a .ogg and add the field "ANDROID_LOOP=True" there is a thread on here somewhere about it.
No idea why mp3's dont loop on this phone

Thanks for the help, been having this problem as well. I found the tread you mentioned and changing the value in the file did solve the issue.
Here's a link to the tread you mentioned for the OP.

How do I make the lyrics show up in the stock music player? And why does notification for the the app lyrics grabber doesn't appear in the notification? How do I make it so?
You can use third party Music Player like Musixmatch, it will show you lyrics regardless of the player.
hope this helps you.

You can also place the .trc files in the same folder as the audio files. I find it less confusing and easier to handle than having one large folder with hundreds of lrc/trc files.
Especially when you have a folder hierarchy like Music/$artist/$album/$title1-n
BTW you can leave the file extension to .lrc - works just fine

That's strange, because Honor does the same with its company (?) song.
/sdcard/Music/Honor.mp3
/sdcard/Music/Honor.lrc
The stock player displays the Chinese lyrics while playing the song.
And as mentioned above, I have placed my .lrc files in the same folder as the corresponding audio files and it works for me.
BTW Thanks for your nice themes! :good:
