Anyone attempted to do it? There's no option to alter them in settings so I found where they are they are located in system/media/ui I tried deleting it through astro but I didn't have sufficient permissions -_- any suggestions? Id love to have my own little lock sound instead of that barely heard sound. And yes I got the idea from the ipod touch ability to do that when its jailbroken. If its possible on that I know it is on android

Yes, that option should be possible on a rooted device. I think once your rooted (which you are) that you find the file that contains the sounds and simply add your sound to the list. I think the only way to do so might be through usb. Plug in the phone via usb and drag the sound file onto your phone and it should work. I've never done this before, but I've read about it with past Android devices. Hopefully it will work for you. If it does or does not work please be kind to let me and others know.

I haven't seen any way where you can choose, but the unlock sound is found in /system/media/audio/ui/
idk if mp3's work, but I'm assuming replacing the Lock/Unlock ogg's with another one of the same name would work. It's easy to convert to ogg anyway.
I've always wanted to do this with some old school 8 bit sounds or even metal gear codecs but never got around the time to trying.

How do you convert it to ogg? And of course ill post if it works or not no problem. Ill try it through adb I guess since astro doesn't let me do it. Anyone else know a method besides adb and terminal that will let me get to root folders? I know droid explorer and all that but I'm 17 which means no credit card lol

An easy way is using a website like media.io
As far as I know, no root explorer apps work on our phone. I could be wrong.
Easiest way is going to clockwork recovery, mounting system and pushing.
I can confirm it works. I just have to lower the volume of my files because they're WAY too loud lol.

Ok sweet! Can you tell me exactly what you did?
Wait lemme take a guess
Adb pushed the lock sounds to the directory? Or pulled them first then pushed them?
Sent from My Rooted Htc Espresso
I just pushed, it overwrote the original. Don't need to backup if you still have the zip for the rom.
Just make sure when you're in clockwork recovery System is mounted so you can get in there through adb.

Here's a vid to see it in action. Sound is still a bit too loud for me, going to edit the volume again to lower it. I want to sound cool but not obnoxious lol.
EDIT: Keep in mind your Unlock sound flickers on/off when you lock your screen with the desktop clock on.

Alright cool i guessed that. You think maybe we could tell Cyan what we found and he could make it an option in cm6? And you think it would work with a regular MP3? ill test if you like but man thats nice and loud. At the website what level of volume you put it? high,medium, low or what? and dude where do you get your sounds from? google is not working with me right now lol i could just use ringdroid and make an Mp3 then convert but ehh idk.

Couldn't hurt to ask Cyan. But if he's busy working on CM6 I don't wanna bother lol.
I put the highest bitrate on the converter website. Shouldn't matter anyway, the file is still going to be like 20 kbs unless you use a long ass sound. (Which I don't recommend lol)
Personally I use Acoustica MP3 audio mixer to edit my ringtones. I lowered the volume in there, then converted on the website.
As for where I get my sounds, I google lol. "Videogame title here" + sound effects or sounds.

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

Trying to learn how to create themes. Taking me a while but when I do, this will be my first project. Also, I'll incorporate a few of the ideas I've read in your thread.
Hello all,
So I have really enjoyed this game GlTron ,but want to change the music of the game. I am rooted so I used ES File Explorer to get the APK off of the phone and onto my computer. I opened up the apk using 7zip and removed the .ogg song in the /res/raw folder. I then converted the song I have (Son of Flynn from the Tron movie) into an .ogg and renamed it to the same name of the song in the original apk. I dragged it from Windows Explorer into the /res/raw folder within 7zip and closed out. I put the apk on my phone and tried to install using ES File Explorer, but it failed. I then tried to install it by putting it in /system/apps and rebooting, it would install that way, but would force close right after I tried to start it.
Any ideas? If this is the wrong forum or not okay to do, please move/remove the thread. I figured the game is free and available under GPL it is okay to modify.
Thanks!
EDIT: This is where I came to my process of editing the apk

You might have to actually decompile to do this.

If it is allowed I can upload the two .apks so anyone can look

Alright here are the two apks, the modded one has the new song in it.
thank you everyone
Have you tried re-signing it? I think apps in /data/app need to be signed. By changing the music, you probably made the original signature invalid. There are many tools to sign apk's, but this one is easy to use.
if everything else with the procedure is ok(mainly with the signing), try to reduce the bitrate of the song cause the default is 80kbps and the modded is 256kbps
maybe it crashes for that.
I tried the resigner and the app would install, but would not launch, force closed again upon starting. I lowered the bitrate to 96kb/s and got the same thing...ideas?
EDIT: Took it down to 64 kb/s and got the same thing.
I would be happy to send a small paypal donation someones way if they could make this work
If I get some time later, I'll try to decompile, add your music ,and recompile.

Thanks. All my donations go toward my 2 day old son's toy fund. I changed your sounds no problem, but the originals and the modded were all the exact same size, which leads me to believe that somewhere, the sounds you wanted got lost. I'll upload it, and if it's still wrong music, just attach the individual .ogg files and i'll compile it again.

It's extremely easy. All professional audio editors have .ogg support, so it edits just like an mp3. Give me a few minutes. And thanks for the donation-deeply appreciated.
edit:here ya go- I bumped the overall volume of each by 50%, bumped the bitrate up to 320k and added some bass rumble to the explosion file. Be sure to uninstall my old modded version first to avoid parsing errors.

Oh wow thank you so much. I meant for the song to be louder than the sound of the light cycle movement, but I am not going to ask you to do any more work. You have already done so much and I cannot be this picky with something. Just having the song is enough
No worries- I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room, and not getting any sleep with a 2 day old, so tinkering with a computer is no big deal. I put the original engine sound back in, so it should be lower than the music.

Here, is a easy way to change lock and unlock sounds on stock lock screen. I founds this in a lot of different places with Google search and decided it would be nice to post it here for people that do not know.
1.) Make a backup like you always should.
2.)navigate to system/media/audio/ui
3.)make a backup of your original sounds by putting .bak at the end of them.(I always make a folder in the sd and put them there to avoid clutter after I make the backup)
4.place your new files into the ui folder and set permissions to 644 and reboot.
5.) All done!
Want some files to try this out? Download either star wars light saber or mgs codec slider sounds here:

Actually I was thinking the same thing. I would like to have a whole system sound change. What I mean by that is if I want all my system sounds such as lock, unlock, and the sound on button press and low battery to all have a new sound. Just have to convert some sounds to ogg format first. If I do it would be all in one package though. (E.g. all mgs package or all star wars etc etc).

Hey all, I am looking to change the tune when my device boots up.
I found info saying to change the poweron.ogg within system/media/audio/ui.
The current sound file is 85.03kb.
Its a good 8-10 sec long i feel.
When I created an ogg file from an mp3 (converted) its way over 85kb and its only like 4 sec long.
I feel that the sound is not playing because the file is too big.
Is this whats happening?
If so, are there any programs to shrink these mp3's to ogg?
If there is something else im missing, please let me know. Thanks!
One more think... What is the shutdown sound file name?
I dont see a poweroff.ogg. Thanks!!!
