Is there a file called LG_Cable_Disconnect.ogg in system/media/audio/ui?
Was replacing sounds in my phone and I wasn't sure if there was a sound effect for a cable disconnecting. I know there's one for when it connects, but was there one that played when you unplug it?

There is not in mine.
BUT... I am on AT&T, so there is a small chance it is different.
Speaking of sound changing, only a handful of sounds seem to be actually working when replacing files. LG_Cable_Connect.ogg, and PowerOn.ogg are the only ones I've tested that seem to work. PowerOff.ogg isn't playing (despite my music app being able to play it if I open it directly from the folder) while Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg seem to be completely ignored, with the phone playing the default lock and unlock sounds despite those files being deleted already. All of the files are set to 644. Anyone wanna try seeing if these guys can be edited?
On a side note, I figured out it was the volume sound I deleted. could someone please locate the volume sound and give me the name to see if I can customize it please?
In fact, would someone be so kind as to give all the file names so I can double check that I got the names correctly? I stupidly didn't make a backup of them before deleting and replacing.
so far ive only changed poweroff and poweron and they both worked for me. as for the volume sound i cant seem to find it. do you remember what it was named?

I could be wrong, I just remember seeing a volume sound in there and think I deleted it without adding my own custom sound to replace it, but perhaps my memory has failed me.

only file with the word volume in it is a 30 second clip of a song.
here are all the files in UI and the .ogg i was talking about
Yeah, that's the volume file. Too bad it isn't actually the volume beep. What the hell is that file used for then? Anyway, I managed to get PowerOff to work by making it into PowerOff_Sprint (which is odd considering I didn't need PowerOn_Sprint for the opposite to work). Lock sounds will still not play for me though, they just play stock lock and unlock noises despite them not being in the folder anymore. Perhaps they're located in a different folder?
I just checked and we have a LG_Cable_Connect.ogg but no disconnect sound (sprint). Unrelated, but it appears that we have some....interesting... bloat sound files in /system/sounds/lgeSounds.
Has anyone been able to change the lock and unlock sounds successfully?
Now that I've got my lgog, I am also trying to disable some of the sounds, but am having no luck finding the right files to rename/delete/etc. Has anyone else been able to find the right files?

What I was most trying to figure out where the lock / unlock sounds, not realizing that there was an actual menu option for those. Found it and now I shall hang my head in shame for asking before really looking deeply.

hi there!
im using a hero with mc 2.3 and FU_6.35.07.08 radiofirmware.
everytime I'm talking to someone, he keeps telling me to speak louder.
no matter how good the signal strenth is or to whom i speak!
I've already tried several radios, just in hope to be able to handle it.
the only solution is to hold the microphone straight to my mouth (its on the downside)
but thats still not the all in all solution..
is there anything like a microphone boost?
or at least can anybody tell me its just a bug or something?
i just hope its not due to the construction.
did u used the Volume Boost app from the market ?(forgot the name....removed asap...)
I used this is had that problem...
and backup didn't help..
ended up had to wipe and re-flash...
dammit... yes.. i did..
thank you for your help!
ill try it out.
Happened to me to.
What did you have to reflash to fix this ?
I will try to get a modified csv file for all hero roms to increase volume on headset, speaker, and for incall volume!

Thanks Drizzy!
This will be much appreciated!!
When I hold my Hero in my left hand up to the ear my little finger (pinky) always cover the little microphone hole so the sound can't reach the microphone. Those who I speak with tells me to speak louder because of this.
Otherwise I get good reports of the clarity of how I sound
Actually, after the latest official ROM upgrade, people have been telling me to speak up, that they can't hear me properly or that it sounds like I have a sweater over the mic or that I'm in a tin can.
I was about to send it in, perhaps I've dropped it or something. But it apparently not just me who has this problem,
Yeh Im also having the same problem. I have the MC 2.3 ROM but did use the volume hack program also. Do you think this has something to do with it?? Does anyone know of any way to increase the volume of the phone without screwing up the microphone?
hi guys, im having this problem too but only since like yesterday i think! im sure its something to do with the modaco rom as if i go back to default everything seems fine.
Any ideas?
Confused
Hi,
Sorry about the maybe obvious quiestions but I am quite new to this!
I bought an apparently new unlocked HTC Hero from eBay recently (which I now realise might have been a big mistake!)
On "About Phone" section of the phone it says I have firmware version 1.5 and "Build Number": "MoDaCo Custom Rom 2.3 Core".
I am now realising that this phone is probably not as new as advertised and has not come with the original software.
Anyway everything else seems to work perfectly with this phone apart from the same microphone problems as other people have described, so I was hoping that someone could explain to me what has been done to the phone and any suggestions on how to fix it or return it to its default state!
Im sorry, for the simple questions but as I say I am new to Android and would like a phone that I can make phonecalls with!
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Solution
I think it can be solved by replacing the following files with the original ones:
/etc/AudioFilter.csv
/etc/AudioPara4.csv
/etc/AudioPreProcess.csv
Of course you have to be root to be able to replace these files...
Note: I have not tried the above yet, but these files contain low level audio settings, so there is a good chance changing it can help you.
Thanks for the response.
However being completely new to this I am still a bit unclear.
How do I access these files on my phone and where do I find the original ones?
I am pretty sure it has been rooted - although not sure how I check - it definately has a custom rom installed on it though
You can download for example the MoDaCo ROM: http://content.modaco.net/hero/2.3-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip
In this .zip file you will find the mentioned files in the /system/etc/ sub-directory.
Simply copy them to your MicroSDHC card, than in the phone use a file browser (like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530271 ) to copy them from the card to the phone's file system (into /etc/ ). After this you only need to reboot.
aaaah, i have this exact same problem!! I really hope it is the ROM & not the handset.
This was mentioned in the rom thread but seems to have gotten lost, so...
I've put an .mp3 into my /system/media/audio/ringtones to use as a custom ringtone. Reboot and there it is in the ringtone list. Select it and all is good.
BUT, in a couple of days it disappears from the list and the ringtone is reset to something else.
The file is still in the right folder. It can be fixed with a reboot, but still kinda annoying.
Any idea what's going on here?

i set mine through zedge... i was gettin the defualt rings if i would setup the ring through sound~
... it is odd....but works now... . like i said..set through zedge..workd for me
I set mine through handcent, because it allows the usage of custom ringtones, and I've never had a problem.
Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ instead. Give that a shot.
I had this happen with my alarm clock. I put an ogg file in system/media and after a few days there were only 3 ringtones to select. I even tried some apps from the market and got the same thing. I've been flashing nightlies on top of eachother so I assumed that caused it.

Ha, I didn't even know that there is a /sdcard equivalent for ringtone storage. I'll give that a shot.
Although, I am a little concerned about "ring lag", but curious enough to find out nonetheless.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
I've had all my ringtones reset various times when flashing CM7 nightlies (granted i'm on a NS4G now)... but still happening... which is a huge PITA when I have custom ringtones for many of my contacts. I just found an app on the market that apparently backs up the specific database where these settings are stored.
It's called Backup My Tones (on the market)
Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.
I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3
The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Ooops yea edited my post to reflect that im talking about headphone volume.
I had a chance to play YouTube on G3 through speaker.
The speaker is nice if it's not louder than S3.
I'll take a crack at it. I'm at work now but ill see if i can figure it out in the am

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

1. Download & extract the version for android 4.4, then install it
2. Open Viper4Android, choose quality, let it install the special driver and allow root. You may need to update busybox, it will prompt you if necessary.
3. Reboot
4. Open V4A, press the 3 dots at top right, change UI to "Moderate"
5. Swipe to "Headphone" tab, enable master power & playback gain control, scroll to bottom of page, change output gain to +0.8 or +1.6

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.
It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.

I managed to disable a lot of the annoying sounds of the LG G4 by renaming them in /system/media/audio/ui Who the **** needs a sound when the phone starts? But despite all efforts I was NOT able to figure out which ogg file is responsible for the loud sound the LG G4 makes when plugin in a USB/power cable EVERY SINGLE TIME! Are those Koreans deaf? Is it a cultural difference? I will never know. Can anyone help me out here? Who to make the LG G4 shut up when plugin in my USB cable?
Edit:
Well renaming ALL files in the ui folder did the trick.... I call this silencer overkill
I stand corrected. Renaming all the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui eliminates a lot of system sounds. The G4 still plays a sound when pluged in, fully charged basically everything that is connected to the USB Port. Anyone any idea how to disable this?
Why don't you just delete them?

It's lg_cable_connect.ogg
Do not try to absolve me by some quirk of quantum mechanics.
You know you can disable the system sounds by clicking on the wheel when adjusting volume. Just set "Touch feedback & system" to the minimum.

Deleting lg_cable_connect.back (g_cable_connect.ogg was renamed like all the others!) did seem to do the trick. Fingers crossed!

Thanks. Somehow it seems this settings changes itself. Honestly since 5.0 I am completely lost with system sounds. By the way, would you know a way to disable vibration on the LG G4 completely? I want my phone to ring. Thats it. No Vibration, no funny sounds, I did not find a switch that says: Turn off vibration like on my Nexus 5.
No, no, no! Renaming & deleting does NOT help. LG G4 still needs to beep away in the middle of the night because it is fully charged
And system sounds where tuned up to maximum. AGAIN. I sure as hell didn't do that!
Any solution to this except a hammer?
I didnt find anything so Im going to make a new thread. On Lollipop I simply renamed all files, rebooted and camera was silent. After updating renaming changes nothing for me. Is there a solution for that on MM?

Just to give your post a bump: I too would like to know this. Renaming camera-click.ogg and some other files used to do the trick, but now this shutter sound seems unrelated to the files in media/ui. Very strange...

Yes its annoying as even turn of ringing volume to zero is bugged for me, if I record a video it starts silent but stipping the video again plays the sound. But it seems we are the only ones annoyed by this

I've also come across the option to edit build.prop and change ro.camera.sound.forced or some other such line from true to false. However, in MM I can't find a line even remotely like that.
And finally I came along a recent post of someone who had silenced a few ogg-files. But no, even that doesn't work. So I've gone back to Snap Camera, which has a simple option to silence the shutter.
