Okay, after all this time I forgot about the cool little notification sound that the EVO comes with. CM7 doesn't have it so I would like to know where I can get it or just what file to take it from on a Sense Rom, thanks my friends.
You can download a sense rom, extract the apk/sound file, then place it in CM7; or if you have a sense rom, flash to it, use root explorer / es file explorer, then locate, copy it to the sd card, then paste it in the correct location.
Look in> /system/media then look in audio, notifications, or ui
I think jacoballen22 is asking if anyone knows the location of the sound file or perhaps even the file name. I could be wrong though....

Yes, this is what I am asking and hopefully I can find it cause I'm getting bored of Numb (Piano version) as a notification ringer.

Even after transferring everything to the right spot, it isn't an .ogg file and even when I change the extension it still will not show up.

Where is the file located on the sense rom, and what is the name and original extension?

And using a root file explorer corrupts it? Because the simple copy and past should work; as its not tied into sense as its only an mp3 file.

I see, the part that I do not understand is why are all the CM7 ringers and such .ogg files? and it will not recognize the notification maybe unless I used a trimmer.
I use mp3s for notifications on MIUI, even though MIUI uses ogg files. But MIUI has a different way of choosing ringtones & notifications, which makes it easier.
Where exactly are you moving the file? And are you rebooting afterwards? If the media scanner doesn't run then it may not notice the file.
Edit:
You can also use Zedge to set your notification tones. You may have to move it to sdcard/zedge/notifications to be able to choose it from the app. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow you to choose custom mp3s for notifications.

Thanks for the info cause I just checked and it's in there now. Just needed a reboot lol. Noob life. Well sorta.

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.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if there was a way to change the S-pen pull out noise to a custom tone? I have the Tmo version and there is only 3 that I can choose from. Thanks in advance.
You should be able to replace the stock sounds with new files of the same names. Unsure of their exact location as I've not looked into it, but it'd stand to reason that they'd be in /system/media/ui somewhere.
Did occur to me that it'd be fun to replace them with, say, lightsaber noises. Or Steve Jobs saying "Who wants a stylus?"

I see the file under the UI folder but it seems I need to assume root, it only has read permissions. I will give it a go when theres a root for tmobile. Thanks for the reply and leading me in the right direction though. Btw you read my mind, I wanted to replace it with a lightsaber lol

Found some lightsaber power-up & power-down sounds if anyone is after them, sourced them from: http://soundfxcenter.com/sound-effects/star-wars/20 and converted to .ogg and reduced the volume so they aren't too loud.
- Go to: /system/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer (or similar app)
- [Optional] Rename Pen_att_noti1.ogg & Pen_det_noti1.ogg to Pen_att_noti1.bak & Pen_det_noti1.bak
- Extract S-Pen_Lightsaber_Sounds.zip [attached below] and copy both files to /system/media/audio/ui
- Go to System Settings -> S Pen -> Pen/attach/detach and set to Sound1
- Enjoy!
I have attached the original Pen_att_noti1.ogg & Pen_det_noti1.ogg in case you overwrote/deleted the originals instead of renaming.
This is awesome. Worked for me. Now Is there anything we can do tobincrease the volume of the spen lightsaber noise. Its very understated which is ok but I'd like it to be a little more noticeable.
I've looked into UI sound folder. there're many ui sounds and customisable.
including yours are great. many thanks. :good:
may the force be with you then
i like it mate, thanks

I'm afraid not. You need root access to the system files to change it.
I love the Light Saber sounds, but I included a shotgun sound to you to enjoy. This will replace notification sound #2.
This came from Jellybomb. So give credit to joshbeach.
Just be sure to follow the instructions given by dceightfive

Couple of questions for you...
1. Are you rooted?
2. Are you using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer?
If your using ES, you need to be sure it has root access and has the "system" folder "mounted" for writing (both in settings of ES). Also, it's not the files you downloaded that you rename, it's the original files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder you rename to .bak, then copy and paste the new ones in.

Hi
Thank you for your reply. I have my phone rooted. I tried ES. i can not highlight the Mount file system option in the root settings. Also when i click Root explorer, i get the msg that this feature can not run on my phone. I also tried the other app Explorer. When i try to change the name of the original file. i get the msg this is a read only file. So how do i proceed.thank you
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!
J-Ha

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

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.

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!

...ok, this has me stumped and I figured someone here might know the answer.
I am trying to change the call connect and the call disconnect tones on my S4. My phone is of course rooted, and I see the sound files located in /system/media/audio/ui - they are in .ogg format. I see the following files (call related):
Call_Connect.ogg
TW_Call_Disconnect.ogg
I replaced both files with the sounds of my choice (same file name, same permissions, same format)...but...when I dial out or disconnect, I get the S4 default connect tone / disconnect tone. I also did a complete factory reset...same result, WTF?
EDIT: Also, I did make sure that the system folder was mounted and writable...
Ok, I want to offer a little more info...
I have:
Made sure the files have the same name. (there are no dupe's in the directory either)
Made sure the files have the same permissions that all other files in that directory have.
Verified the files were updated by listening to them via my root explorer.
Rebooted 6519845619685465196847 times.
Cleared phone app cache, nova launcher cache, and even did a factory reset (dalvik, cache, data).
I even removed the files from that directory all together (which should have killed the call connect and call disconnect notifications)...but the stock ones STILL PLAY...WTF?
Used ADB to open a shell session and LOGCAT to see if I could spot something happening while I placed a call, and came up with nothing relevant, which is weird because if LOGCAT is supposed to show everything the phone is doing, then why is there no information on what sounds are being used for those events...
It is as if the files exist or are cached somewhere else...but I cannot locate any other .ogg or audio file anywhere else on the device at all.
This is driving me insane.

Ok, it wasn't in that file, but it was in the SecPhone.apk file. However, editing that file immediately caused my phone to crap itself. I replaced the two files in the archive and then put that modified file back into /system/app and then rebooted and wiped dalvik and cache. When I got the phone back up, I tried using the phone, and instantly it (over and over I might add) said that com.android.phone has stooped working...oh yeah, and my modified sounds didn't play either.
Guess I'm stuck with the default unless I either learn a lot more about working with Android, or someone hooks me up with some knowledge, or better yet, an app that someone has that can successfully change this.
