[Q] Ringtone and Notification sounds - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to connect the two sounds because it's really annoying having the ringtone volume on the lowest level and having a message come in that's about as loud as it gets and its a hassle having to change both all the time. I used to use Quick settings but that doesn't seem to do the trick anymore so I was wondering how to go about it. Any hidden settings I haven't uncovered yet? Any good apps to recommend? Also how can I shut the camera shutter sound because that's also annoying...

On CM you can link them both together in the Volume adjustment panel from within Settings - Sound

but the CWM is a nightly so its not stable right? cuz I just came from SGS where I had Darkyy's ROM and don't really know what CWM is all about but from what I found in my brief search it said that nightlies are not the most stable ones

There are a lot of Profile Managers in the Play Store that should do the job. I use e. g. "Profiles" from Egg'n Stone and it works.

would that affect any of my other settins? meaning would I have to create profiles for everything I want and change them all the time or can I just change that one thing and carry on using the phone as before? cuz the last profiles I remember are on the old feature phones. never used one on a smartphone

Sorry, you are right. The Profile Managers I know and talked about support profiles for a lot of settings. They are not just linking the Sounds you mentioned. So my answer was not exactely related to your specific needs.

Custom system sounds

I'm newly rooted and looking to customize my sounds a bit. I've been experimenting with different "effect tick" sounds, the audible selection sound. I would like to try out the windows phone 7 typing sound. Any idea where I can get my hands on those files, or other similar sounds I might be able to try out?
i am interested in this as well, I used to have an iPhone and the messaging tones while in thread (the in and out swoosh sounds) and when sending emails, was a nice little touch that ive missed on all of the other phones Ive had. Also some type of suttle sound while confirming things would be nice...
Keeping my eye in this...im interested as well
+1 also keeping an eye out

Hey guys, try the ZEDGE app. I've downloaded a new notification sound as well as a cool Gmail notification which you can change in your Gmail home page under menu, more, settings. I use this all the time. As far as changinging actual system sounds such as the little click sound you you touch on something I dont know.

To do it, you need to be rooted and go into a root explorer (I use Super Manager) and go to system/media/audio/ui. The sound file you want has to be named "Effect_Tick.ogg" and you just copy it in there in place of the existing one.
My question though is where to find the specific sound I want, which is the Windows Phone 7 typing sounds. They are nice and soft and pleasant! If anyone here has a windows phone, I wonder if it's possible for them to upload the sound here...

[MOD] Audio Tweaks (Including Silent Camera)

Audio Modifications​
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for problems you may incur.
Please do some research if you are a first timer.
Only you can choose to use this software.
By downloading you agree to these terms.​​WHAT THIS TWEAK DOES:
This flash-able Volume-tweak.zip includes both mods simultaneously.
1) Silent Camera!
Volume.db
Replacing the existing volume.db file, the one I'm including disables all shutter sounds (which I may change to one of the shutter sounds), autofocus sounds, and other obnoxious camera tones. I understand that Samsung's idea is to make people aware that others may be photographing them, privacy stuff and all, but let's be honest shall we? Creepers are going to creep one way or another, and the autofocus 'beep' disturbs the baby and makes the dog bark! It also disables the boot sound. Best part of this tweak, it doesn't even touch the actual camera apk!
2) Volume Enhancing!
default_gain.conf
The next is a mod adapted from the developer Meltus. You may know him for other awesome volume modifications, but this one he made for the GSIII international. This should make the phone overall louder in all respects. I have, however, adjusted it from his original settings to keep the volume from reaching 'crackling' volumes and possibly damaging the speakers. This level sounds loud and still sounds good. :good:​
DOWNLOADS:

Do you have this mod working on your device? I ask because I got burned on the teh kernel, and I'm a little more cautious about what I flash from now on.

It's brilliantly simple. Most android phones come with these settings ingrained into the kernel, but Samsung has left them out. In theory, one could make these adjustments from on the phone itself, if you can open a .db file. Very simple, nothing that can break a phone. Just be careful not to blow out your speaker or your ears.
Sweet, Camera sounds really annoys me.

Sweet! :highfive:
As an addendum, this tweak is even neater because it disables the camera noises on a system level. I've seen a supposed higher-resolution camcording camera apk floating around that 'supposedly' disables camera noises as well... but it doesn't matter if it does because this tweak stays in effect. I don't believe this will affect other camera apps... but any Samsung camera variant should be muted.
Random you rock. Great to see you here. Your OG epic stuff was awesome. Thanks for the sound free camera!
Randomking ive seen your work before amazing stuff glad this got ported i was gonna try to port the volume mod but still no phone yet =( thanks a million anyways
Thanks for this mod. It works great. Would it be possible to mute the lock/unlock noises? I love water but I'm a little tired of hearing water droplets every time I use my phone.

For the sound boost (using the international tweak) you used the config file, correct?
That file does not, by default, exist on our US variants. I've personally included the tweak in my ROM over on T-Mobile. I've had a person or two say it made no difference. Me personally, I thought it was louder then hell (changed speaker boost from 0 to 40 and headphones from 0 to 25). If I put the volume on the lowest possible setting, its very audible still. With my headphones, I put it on three ticks and it was loud. Putting it up fully made me feel like my eardrums were going to pop.
What are your feelings on the tweaks? Do you think they actually work? Considering the config file doesn't exist by default, do you think they're actually pointed to in our system to be used?

I too noticed that the file isn't there, and was momentarily skeptical. But as the base coding is likely fundamentally identical, I thought I'd give it a chance. It's hard to fully test while at work... but I can hear my mp3 alarms quite clearly now. I had made a thread days ago regarding how my songs play fine in the player, but at half volume as alarms. The alarm was much much louder! And I generally have a fairly discerning ear.
That said, I now have to experiment the individual settings I think.

I agree the coding is likely identical. My skepticism comes more from the fact that the file doesn't exist by default. If it doesn't exist, and we add it, does anything in our system actually point to the config file in order for it to actually take effect?
Regardless, I'm pretty positive it works. I just was hoping someone had a better understanding of how it works and if it's actually pointed to.
When you play around with it, mind PMing me your results? I'm curious what you get.
For one, change the headphone settings and try with your headphones plugged in. I think they're extremely loud with the boost set to 25..

Certainly. If different values draw drastically different effects... I'll probably be making a "Louder but comfortable" version and an "Extremely loud, hearing damage may ensue" version. :good:

Talking clock compatible with S3?

Hi,
I've tried different talking clock apps, but fail to find one compatible with S3 without bugs or lack of key features. I was wondering if anyone had better luck?
Key features:
- speaks time every 15 or 30 minutes
- Silent period (shuts up between X pm and X am)
- won't drain battery like there's no tomorrow!
Whatever you do, don't buy Audio Clock by SURFSOFT LABS. Junk.

Well, I didn't had that problem. It just don't always start itself after a reboot. If I start it manually it works.
Well, I tried a few, but they all have bugs/annoyances:
EQ STime : mutes all three audio channels after a while, need to reboot.
Audio Clock : randomly gets out of sync with your time interval. Not reliable at all.
Speaking Clock: TellMeTheTime : No way to set silent hours (don't speak time when I'm sleeping). Otherwise, this app seems to be the most stable.
Talking Clock: Can't remember why, but it wasn't very good
Still looking...

[Q] Android 4.2.2 and Tasker

Hi all,
I've just recently flashed SOA Jedi ROM to my SGS3 and am loving how stable this ROM is. I noticed once I flashed it I now have the option of "profiles" built into the ROM that support audio settings. I'm used to using tasker to change audio setting based on different things such as location and being attached to my home wireless, but I accomplish that by changing each individual audio setting, such as Ringtone, Notification, System, Media and so forth. I was wondering if there is anyway to just have tasker change the audio profile rather than each individual audio setting. I've looked all over tasker for the option, but can't seem to find it. Am I missing something, or is there no way to change the profile with tasker?
Thanks,
Dave
118 views and no replies? Have I stumped everyone, is there just not that many folks using Tasker? I figured this would be an easy one that I was just missing something....

Finally found the answer for anyone looking for it.
Found the answer. The SOA Jedi ROM is based off of CyanogenMod and the profiles are part of that ROM. I picked up an app called Profile 4 Tasker+Widget that gives me the option to change the Profile now using the "Plugin" action category. This will save me from setting up all the different volume levels, and settings for each task.

Tab S sound Boost, cannot find Mixer paths xml file? Help needed

I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:
you can edit default_gain in system/etc
I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.
