[MOD] Boot Sound - E.T. Theme (Root Users) or Make Your Own!!

Here's a fun Mod for those of us who've adopted the E.T. nickname for our Epic 4G Touch!
Must Have Root to Modify!
1. Download the Wav File, copy to Device (if you DL'd to PC)
2. Using Root Explorer, navigate to System Folder, select
3. Select ETC folder (Mount as R/W)
4. Find current PowerOn.wav file and rename (in case you want the original back)
5. Move (or copy to) the new PowerOn.wav file to this location
6. Change Permissions to match (rw-r--r--)
7. Reboot and Enjoy!
►► E.T. Theme Boot Sound ◄◄
As an alternate...you can make your own by simply using any .wav file and re-naming it to PowerOn.wav! You may want to edit your .wav file however, as only a small portion of it will play during boot.

Ha!
*tries to remember what the ET theme sounded like...*
Oh yeah! How could I forget?

i put this on my phone awesome

.wave or ogg?

This is pretty...EPIC. Sick, get my ET4G tomorrow. First mod

Does anybody have the stock wave sound? I flashed a ROM & change the boot sound & I would like to change it back
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it...

Probably semi-obvious, but you can also rename (or just delete) the sound file to have your phone boot silently.
Nice for when you have to constantly restart to alleviate the LOS error and forget to mute it beforehand, or if you just happen to not like your stuff making noise.

Sound Very Low
I changed everything over and the sound comes on, but it is very quite and short. Is this normal?

How long can it be? Seeing as this phone boots in 5 seconds

DARK SIDE!!!!
here is my contribution to the thread, they are .wav files from star wars "You don't know the power of the darkside" and "what is thy bidding...my master" ----of course from Darthvader. perfect size and length, they sound great as boot up sounds!!
don't forget to press thanks..........i don't have any lol

does it have to be a .wav file or can you throw an MPEG 4 file on there too?
Never mind. figured it out... and yes you can put any song as long as you change the permissions too.

Not sure if anyone know's how but I figured out how to basically put any 8-9 second long recording or sound file to your boot animation. you can use ringdroid to edit any sound file to to 8-9 seconds and use the ringtone maker app to send it to your e mail. then put it to your desktop and so on... you get the point.

[MOD] Windows Phone 7 Tick Sound AT&T / T-Mo

I customized the UI sounds for the SGS3: Tick Effect & Keyboard sounds with that of WP7 tick sound and customized the camera / video button sound, etc.
Make sure you rename your stock UI sounds (Example: *tick_effect) before you over-right them.
Upzip / copy and paste in: System>Media>Audio>ui

What seems to be the prob? Just download the zip to your sdcard, unzip it, open root explorer, copy and paste the apk's you want to install and copy and paste them in: Root/System/app
Should be it. *might have to install it and or change permissions*

Awesome! I had to turn off the touch clicks and, since I hate haptic feedback, it's nice to be able to regain some response in the phone's UI.
Thanks.

If you want to further customize your UI to resemble WP7 here is the font.
Should be able to just install the apk and go to settings display and set font.http://db.tt/Wmgm3nST

when i try to rename the stock ui sounds so i can ad the new ones root explore says something about bricking my device lol can anyone give me the steps to do this correctly

Use root explorer, make the directory r/w, copy the sounds into system / media / audio / ui folder.... You will (or should be if you are doing it right) be overwriting pre existing files. Once done and you have overwritten the sounds you wanted to change, reboot phone.
You may need to rename the file if you want it represent/be used for another function. For example, inside the zip file there is a file names backspace.ogg..... Say you want to use it for the TW_touch.ogg sound.... You will need to rename it and all that. Only problem is by the time you cuztomize things to the way you like, a new updated rom is put out and you have to do it again!

It's just warning you because you are editing system settings. Renaming anything in the specified folder won't cause any damage.

ok so i unzipped the file on my sd card extracted to a folder i named ui on the sd card....now when i try to copy the files and move them to the system ui folder it says copy of all files failed..i mam using es file explorer

Use Root Explorer, other file managers won't have permission to change system files. With Root Explorer you will also need to select Mount R/W to be able to write to the system folder.
Make sure you rename all the original files if you ever want to use the original sounds again...I just went back to AOSP lock/unlock sounds, the WP7 sound was a bit sharp.

all worked as soon as i got root explorer thanks guys, am dissapointed though as i am looking to get away from the drip and water sounds, i guess i want a more iphone like sound for typing and lock and unlock without having the iphone....any ideas

You can replace them also... Just need to identify the sound files you want and the name(s) of the files to replace... Easy peasy.....

I assure you, you wont brick your device from just renaming a sound file. I do it all the time. Maybe its for when you try and rename a needed framework or system file.

How to edit the lock screen sound on CM10?

I'm interested in changing the sounds the phone makes while Unlocking, however I'm not entirely sure how to do that. Any help would be great, thanks!
If this needs to be moved to the theming area, sorry!

You'll need a root-capable file explorer. Some use Root Explorer, I like Solid Explorer Beta.
File are located in system\media\audio\ui\
Lock.ogg
Unlock.ogg
And you can kill camera_click.ogg and camera_focus.ogg while you're there!
Probably have to reboot once you replace the files. They will also be overwritten every time you flash a nightly / new build.

Use some Sound Editor!

[Q] Turn off camera shutter sound

I love this phone.
But, I can't turn the camera shutter sound off.
I have seen the following solutions:
Edit build.prop and set the camera sound value to =0
or
Use Camera Zoom Fx app and delete the camera_click.ogg file
I would prefer to do the former.
I guess I need to root my phone to do this - or is there an easier way?
I have never rooted a phone and I don't have a need for a rooted phone other than to be able to r/w the build.prop file.
Can I root it, edit the build.prop file, and then unroot it and have the build.prop file keep my edits?
Does anyone have any straightforward steps on how to root and then unroot this phone?
Thank you for any guidance you can provide!

I believe that you can unroot directly from the superuser app that is sideloaded via this rooting method. Once unrooted, the changes that you made should remain. If they don't for some reason, all you have to do is keep root and just deny apps that request superuser access.

You would need to root it to edit the build.prop, as it is located in system. That other way to unroot might work to keep it but if you use lgnpst it would replace all the system files, giving you your stock build.prop again. If you wanted to delete the ogg file you would still need to root for that. At least on my phone the camera_click.ogg file is located it /system/media/audio/ui directory. You could just move it somewhere else as a backup. But....being rooted is awesome

NVM. I found it, im getting old now.
but tested it and it works like a charm

HelloDominick - I still haven't gotten around to rooting the phone, so I haven't done this yet. Do you really have to have the sound off on the phone in order for this to work?

I think (once rooted) is safest to just overwrite the click sound(s) with a silent one. Then it plays but you can't hear it. works for me and any camera proggy that defaults to the system will use it too.

On the LGoG it's in: system > media > audio > ui > camera_click.ogg
It may be in a different location on other devices.
You have to be rooted in order to write over system files, but I just renamed the original to camera_click.ogg.bak and then copied the silent version in with the same original name "camera_click.ogg" less the quotes and making sure it's an ogg file too, so there is no system playback error.
Hope that helps.

Replaced the file but no love, same click sound... Any other path?

I assume it's the LGoG you are attempting this with?
Mine is the first generation (incase there are other generations.)
You'll also want to verify it was overwritten. I'd try playing the sound once you do... just to be sure it's the write file.
Otherwise, you might search your device for the sound and see if it's listed elsewhere.
In case the program you are using does not have "system" write capability, I might suggest ES File Explorer.
Either way, you will have to access the settings to turn on the ability to "write" to root in order to "overwrite the file".
Additionally (if the file is changing back - or so it would seem)... be sure to check the permissions it has before you overwrite it and when you do (assuming success).. make sure to set the "new" files permissions to the same as what the old file had. Else, the OS might overwrite the "new" file with a tared (backed up) version... knowing that it's been screwed with.
It's kind of a form of protection from corruption (computer sees potentially bad file and replaces it with good file.)
Good luck and happy fourth!

Phantom camera_click.ogg
I beg your forgiveness for my ignorance, but I've never done much tweaking to file systems after a rooting... but my gf has the Sprint Optimus G and can't find the camera_click.ogg file at all using Astro File Explorer. Does anyone know any other location it may be at? As a computer technician, I'm embarrassed at my lack of know-how around the Droid OS!

Not sure if you looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051384
Read the op then go to page 11 and you see there are 2 fields that need to be changed.
After you do that and reboot as it states, you will have sound when you have your volume on and no camera sound when you turn the volume down to vibrate or silent. At least that is how it is for me. I prefer it that way.
Hope this helps

Naturally
Per Murphy's law, after she and I both looked for around 30 min before giving up and me posting on the forums, I downloaded the ES file explorer and found both files within seconds.
Got it with the silent camera while the phone is on silent/vibrate. Now for a little tweaking to silence it with the volume up.
Thanks for your help, guys and gals. No wonder XDA-devs is one of, if not the, top-notch sites!

From my understanding the same charging sound is used whether you're wireless charging or using a cable. I'm kind of an amateur so this may be a dumb way to do it but when I wanted to get rid of a charging sound I was able to replace the charging sound (which is in .ogg file format) with a silent one called Silent.ogg which you can download from this post. XDA doesnt allow .ogg file extension attachments so it's in a zip. Download and unzip it and rename it to Silent.ogg for convenience.
On my phone I use Root Explorer but you can use any file manager app that allows you to modify system files. The charging sound is in /system/media/audio/ui and is called Charger_Connection.ogg so in Root Explorer first navigate to wherever you downloaded Silent.ogg and copy it. Navigate to the above path and tap the "Mount R/W" button at the top. Paste the Silent.ogg file. Rename Charger_Connection.ogg to something like oldChargerConnection.ogg or whatever you'll recognize as a backup in case you ever want to restore it. Then rename Silent.ogg to Charger_Connection.ogg making sure it has the capitals and everything. Once done reboot into recovery and Fix Permissions. I usually clear cache and dalvik also. As a backup I emailed myself the Silent.ogg and ChargerConnection.ogg files in case I ever need them again.

Do not use Silent.ogg from the linked post above.
It is a looped ogg and will keep playing silently in the background preventing your headphones from working until you reset your phone. Took me a while to figure this out
