(THINK TANK) (SOLVED!) Changing lock/unlock sounds in froyo

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?

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.

Can someone help me!?

I have a prom coming up soon but I want to take pictures with good quality. Unfortunately the stock camera this MIUI ROM came with sucks. Can someone upload a Camera.apk file to help? If you can get the best one I will be so happy, or if you know how to improve the one OsiMood MIUI 2.5.13. Please help me at the best if your ability.

Can anyone help me!?

I don't have the stock camera.apk I can give you. But there are a few 3rd party camera apps on the Market that others claim are better than stock. Vignette is pretty good (but a paid app), and FxCamera and Camera360 are supposed to be pretty good too (both free).

I believe you are limited to the pixel density of the camera itself, which isn't whole dependable on the software..
Sorry for not throwing you an .APK that would be useful. Just wanted to let you know that your thread is being read.

You're not going to get decent pictures indoors with the DZ (or just about any phone, for that matter) -- especially in a dimly-lit dance floor. You'd do better to buy or borrow a digital camera with a good flash.

Some claim that various camera apps will handle auto white balance, auto focus, auto ISO, etc. differently, possibly resulting in better photo quality. Although I've used the HTC camera app and stock AOSP, and played around with Vignette a bit, and haven't noticed a big difference.

I understand I cant increase my camera pixels due to hardware, but I had older ROMs with better picture quality l'm just wondring if someone has a good Camera.apk on there ROM they can give to at lease give me better picture. This MIUI ROM made by OsiMood is not good at all, and I know it can be better. So if anyone else can take there Camera.apk and upload it that will be very helpful.

Flash a new ROM!

Need good pictures for Prom - Prom = dark - Phone doesn't like dark - Can't take pictures with phone - Need DSLR with flash - Hire DSLR with flash - DSLR with good flash likes dark - Take pictures - I have good pictures from Prom

So im guessing no Camera.apk files are avalible!?

- download some different roms and extract camera.apk from the zip,
- make a backup of your existing camera.apk
- start moving camera.apk from roms you've downloaded and find the one that you like most.

Did you check out the Market apps I suggested? Its not like the AOSP stock camera app is all that great anyway. Probably be easy to find equal or better 3rd party app, if its a hassle to get the camera apk.

Your going to prom! Drink more beer and they will all look better in the dark! Lol I couldn't resist that one. But you could also buy a cheap digital camera at wally world for around $20 that will preform better in the dark then your g2.

[Q] Camera app - old and new

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.

[Q] Completely Silent Camera on Stock ICS

agat was able to shut off the shutter but not the focus. calk was able to shut the whole thing up but only in deodexed ROM.
are there any devs able to completely shut the camera off on Stock ICS odex? i love sfhubs Stock ICS ROMs but need the camera to be completely silent for those times in the in the library and have to take pictures of notes.
intuitively i would just delete the sounds by going into the system/apps but apparently deleting the sounds renders the camera to FC.

Same here, renamed all the camera audio files to .bak..
However can't seem to get rid of the focus beep (or even find the sound) for that matter.
Hope someone can figure this out.

AOKP milestone 6 has a camera sound shutoff option in its ROM control. Its bare bones ICS with huge potential for mods.

A modified APK is required to eliminate the focus sound. I haven't come across one yet but if anyone does, please let me know. Would love to get rid of the sound also as I like to take photos of the chalkboard during lectures and the focus sound is very distracting.

You must replace a few .ogg files in /system/media/audio/ui/ and replace the Camera.apk/.odex in /system/app/. Need root privileges beforehand, flash sfhub's rooted FF18 ROM with ODIN (here). You can find a silent stock FF18 application here, the audio files are below the download link to the application.

newbie
question you said replace the Camera.apk/.odex the download is juat the apk wher might i find the .odes file...thanks just starting to learn and i also u in the libary and in class hehe at test time

If you are on an Odexed version you will have to delete the camer.apk AND the camera.odex files. Then replace with the other camera.apk. Also make sure you reboot and clear the cache too.

[MOD]Touch Sounds - Updated with AOKP Touch/Lock/Unlock and Blackberry Storm click

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but after owning the GS3 and the Note 2, I've gotten awfully tired of the water drop sound when touching anything on the phone.
I changed my screen click sound to the CM10 touch sound and the soft buttons to a different sound pulled from the samsung rom (kind of a softer click). Both are much more suitable for me.
Just thought I'd make it a little easier for anyone else like me.
This is not flashable. Must be rooted. Download zip and extract 2 files. You need to use a file manager and paste these in the /system/media/audio/ui folder, then fix the permissions and reboot. Good habit to back up original sounds.
Should work on any GS3 and Note 2 stock based roms.
3-5-13 Fixed. New zip has AOKP touch sound, and lock/unlock sounds.
3-5-13 Blackberry Storm click

I'm trying to get an outgoing mail sound(swoosh), on my unrooted SGSIII. Would your method work for me, if i downloaded a file manager? I have the sound that i want in my notifications folder, but there's no place to put it, in order for it to work. It's the sound that you would hear, when you send out a text or email, from an iPhone. Thanks for any help that you can give me.

Sorry, you need to be rooted. I used to use ChompSMS instead of the stock app. I believe it uses the same sound when you send. It used to at least.

yeeeeeeaah!!! you read my mind!! i was so tired and wating for someone to do this!! you rthe best thaaanks a lot!!
