Downloading sounds from a ROM

Hey guys,
I just switched to a new ROM for my Kaiser and unfortunately some of the sounds I was accustomed to are gone. Notably the alarm, which is something I must have since I am used to waking up to that.
Does anyone have any idea to get the sounds from a ROM?
I used Raphael for Kaiser
switched to Garmin

You might be able to dump the ROM to a kitchen and sniff through there, but really, if you haven't customized the new ROM too much, it'd just be simpler to flash your old ROM back, grab the sounds you want from the Windows Folder, flash back, and replace files as needed.

i would go with what travito said, you would need to dump the rom and use a kitchen to extract the sounds......

i completely agree with above 2 posts
but heres one alternate way if you dont want to flash again
1 extract the old ROM which you were using
2 now in the dump folder search *.wav
3 you will get all the sounds in the old ROM
4 now sekect the 1s you want and put them in your new ROMs windows directory
5 alarm sonds are generally named alarm1,2,3 etc.....

I just used winrar to open up the rom archive.
I found the sound files in /system/media/.../
Kind Regards

Got it.
The name of the audio file is hwandsw.wav this is a wav file. So what you need to do is go into the windows folder and delete the file. Now take whatever .wav file you want (realize you need a really really short one) like a half a second. Rename it hwandsw.wav place it in the windows folder, soft reset and voila. It worked for me and should you also.
I would recommend making a copy of the original, so you can restore it later if you want.

Man I am having to much fun with this, now every time I touch screen or any buttons my phone farts.

Somehow this doesnt work to me, i exchanged the file with another sound and iam still getting the old clicky taping sound (after soft reset ofc).
When i checked the original wave file it doesnt sound like the taping sound, is it really the correct file?

Doesn't work for me either... doesn't change sound

It's probaly in use, did you disable the sounds before trying? If so use a 3rd part file explorer that ignores permissions.

does not work for me either

Well, te problème here is that you do not understand the problème! Pal, ROM files are undeletable under no circumstance.
You can however overwrite'em but not delete'em

I tried to delete or rename the file (usine TC) but unsuccessful. Then I tried to copy a wav file renamed as hwandsw.wav into \windows - successfull. Soft reset. But the sound did not change... Still the original sound. Then I deleted the (copied) hwandsw.wav in \windows - the original hwandsw.wav file in ROM appeared.
Any advise.. ?

This is how it went....(event sequence)
1) Disabled screen tap sound -> no sound on screen tap
2) Installed .cab file, successful, soft reset.
3) Enabled screen tap sound - > gives default sound (not the new sound intended)
4) Checked file properties using TC - file did not reside in ROM. Copied file to another folder and play using media player - > gives sound intended.
5) Delete file in \windows -> the default hwandsw.wav appeared (properties showed reside in ROM)
Possibilities:
1) The file did not overwrite the default in ROM
2) The wrong file was targeted (for the screen tap).
Good learning event though.

It was probably the wrong file name, I was just using the name posted here in this thread. If you find the correct name I'll try again.

I tried putting a new sound file as Menupop.wav into \windows (as suggested in a ppcgeeks forum) .. still no change.
dwizzy130, if it isn't too much requesting, may be you can help make a cab of file I posted as Menupop.wav. TQ

AudioPara3.csv...Attibutes Change "IN ROM"?

Hi,
Mny of these ROMs are awesome, however, one common issue I have is that the phone sound is a littele low. To fix this, on some ROMs like RRE, I can replace the flashed AudioPara3.csv version with a "hacked" version of the AudioPara3.csv.
Apparently though for the At0M ROM, Energy ROM, I cannot change the file attributed that allow this AudioPara3.csv file to be replaced, using TC file manager, I can edit the arhs values, but NOT the IN ROM setting.
So, am I doing somehting wrong with this AudioPara3.csv file or is it possible the ROM cooks to make the AudioPara3.csv NOT in ROM so I can edit the attributes that will allow it's replacement.
Thanks,
Mike

i've used both of these roms and im still using the latter, i've had absolutely no problems copying a newer hacked file and overwriting the one inside the rom.
try my cab and see if it works for you, it includes the audioPara3 that i find comfortable using, i believe it's the original stock one.

I still think the sound in my ROM is not loud enough, anybody got a csv file that's REAAAALLLY loud ? I want it to blow my ear off....

here you go, my collection(I did not create the files )
3 folders named by volume level.
I always use the loudest+distortion and turn down the volume.
notice it's a RAR, just remove the ".cab" ending

help
ok so i got the htc touch pro and the preset callvolume is way too low unless i turn on speakephone....I have downloaded the audiopara3 file and unzipped it...how do i get it to my phone? do I just drag it to my mobile device

copy it into the Windows folder on your phone and it will overwrite the existing one. You can always copy the existing one into another folder in case you wanna go back

You can catch mine i think it's the best one

when i replace audiopara3 there is no effect can someone please help me

I cannot copy the new audiopara3 file to my Fuze because the old file on the Fuze is read only and will not allow the new file to overwrite it. Any suggestions?

How do I install an RAR file?

You don't take .cab off the end so it will be volume.rar unzip it now you have the files you need and follow directions above to overwrite.

I know I'm necro-posting here; but I can live with that
Your AudioPara3 was the only one that really worked on my Fuze. Thanks very much.

where is the ringtone file?

Hello guys. I am new to android coming from windows mobile. Where is the file or folder for the ringtones? With the windows mobile, I can navigate very easily and look for files. This one (android) seems to be hard to find.
thanks in advance.

I'm a newbie to Android to but I think they are here :-
/system/media/audio/ringtones
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks but....how do I do that. Like I said, I'm new to the whole android scene. Can you tell me where to go on the phone. Thanks

You need to download a file explorer. I use ES File Explorer.
Also if you're looking to add your own ringtones/alarm sounds/notifications then add a new folder to the root of your microSD card & name it Ringtones/Alarms/Notifications & put the sound in the respective folder.
As for finding the ringtones that are currently on the device? I have no idea

Ah yes of course, as above you need to download a file explorer.
I personally use Astro, but check out the market and try a few and see what suits you best
Why they don't ship one install I don't understand, but I'm guessing its too stop people meddling under the hood too much as if anyone would eh

You also need S-OFF to change anything on the /system partition. As already said just create a folder on the SD card called media and stick your MP3s, etc. in there

Question Ringtones

Hello, is anyone able to extract stock ringtones and notification sounds from s22?

That needs either someone with a rooted S22U or available download update packages to extract them from.
Both are probably pretty scarce at the moment, but time will change that I hope

I downloaded firmware from sammobile, is there any tutorial how to extract them?

Don't know if there is a comprehensive tutorial that covers it all
Assuming the packages are the same as for the S21U:
The downloaded packages (I assume .tar.gz) can be easily unpacked, finally giving .img files. These you need to extract using first an SIMG2IMG-Tool and then finally a tool to decode/extract the images.
On my S21U the audios are at /system/media/audio

I found this video in YouTube
There is a link in description box to download both stock ringtones and wallpaper stock

I use a "root explorer" app to navigate to the system audio folder in read only / no root mode. Then i can copy to user storage for use elsewhere.

How i can have sync vibrations patterns from s22ultra to my s9??
It s posibile?????

I do not think so, but you should ask in the S9 forum.
