want droid sound on my HTC Hero

Anyway to get this?

I have the file, pm me an email addy and I'll ship it off to you.

thanks

I don't even know where to place the file. I don't see ringtone folder where I can stick sounds. Someone help me plz?
*EDIT* see I have to get to the phones system instead of the SD Card, but the Astro file manager won't let me copy and paste the file where I want it. How can I do this from my PC?

Just mount your phone via usb. Go to media folder, audio, notifications and just copy it there. You can just drop it on your SD card.

create a directory on your SD card called 'notifications' (all lowercase) and place the file there.

Will just a notifications folder work?
I've always been told media/audio../notifications or /ringtones or /alarms

Sorry for digging it up but I am trying to get my hands on DroidSound 1.2 beta 3 (latest one from Dec 2010). swimsuitboyds website is down for me and market has only 1.1 version. Anyone got latest one and could share it?

Cannot delete or modify 'vrtheme' folder

After playing around and installing different ROMs, I noticed a folder called 'vrtheme' on the sdcard. Not my biggest concern, except for the fact that my galleries are scanning that folder, which in turn lists about 10 folders with pictures.
I've tried everything to remove this folder, but keep getting a permission denied error. I've tried simply adding a .nomedia file, but can't modify the folder whatsoever. I cannot rename any files, can't move them either, can't add files.
Please provide any other suggestions. Thank you!

Copy everything important from your storage then perform a /sdcard wipe in recovery. This is assuming the file is on your internal storage.

Connect your phone to PC,run adb shell in CMD,and get root permission(su),and then,delete it(rm -r).

[Q] Turn off camera shutter sound

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.

you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.

On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

I renamed the 3 files, but sound still present.

Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?

Yeah, I even moved the files to other folders, and sounds still there.
I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.
Which files did you rename?

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!

Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg

Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?

i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?

Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?

Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"

that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too

It works perfect with Cataclysm 4.4.2 :good:

Can someone upload the modified camera apk ?

Galaxy S7 ADB Push / Pull to External Storage Commands?

Hey folks, Jared here. Just working on a video for the XDA YouTube channel.
I'm trying to figure out how to adb push and pull files to the micro sd card on the S7.
/sdcard/ only sends the file to the internal, not external.
Any thoughts on what the correct path would be?
Needing help on this asap...I'll give you a shout out in the video if you have the correct answer!
Cheers,
Jared

Thanks man. Unfortunately, the S6 and S7 both use UFS 2.0. Since then, I believe samsung has changed how external storage is accessed by the user and device.
I tried your command, just incase, but it didn't work =(

Don't know if you have sorted this out yet but now I have a little more time I have looked into this.
The sdcard on the system is showing as an identifier of numbers and letters under the system storage I don't know if they are all the same, probably not mine is storage/7E53-1B03
I used the command below to push a png called Version.png to this location and it appears to work properly, the png appeared on the external sdcard not the system storage
You can find the sdcard identifier using a file explorer like Root Explorer, ES File Explorer
From ES File Explorer tap Menu>Device>storage then you should see a folder identified by numbers and letters tap it to check that it shows exactly what is actually on your sdcard, if it does this is the sdcard path
From Root Explorer tap Menu>Home>Storage then look for the folder identified as numbers and letters as mentioned above
To push a file to the sdcard use adb push (folder location > files name and type) then /storage/ (folder identified exactly as it is as it is case sensative) /
Command tested were these
Command done from a different folder to where the file is located on the computer folder location and file name adb push C:\SamsungS7\Version.png /storage/7E53-1B03/
Command done from within the folder the file was located in on the computer adb push Version.png /storage/7E53-1B03/
Attached a a couple of screen clips, hope this works for you

Genius! Makes perfect sense.
I've already done the video, but I'm glad this was solved for future purposes and other people looking for the answer.
Thanks!

You'd need to post more info. Like:
1. Name of folder
2. Location of folder (SD card/system partition/data partition/etc)
3. Contents of the folder.
4. Anything else that might be helpful. Like the creation date of the folder etc.

1. The name of the folder is ADM. It created when I install the apps. ADM holo
2. It is in the SD card partion.
3. small video files.

Have you tried using different file managers? (including stock)
Or connecting it to your computer and try deleting it from there. Or.....If its a removable SD card, insert it in another device and try deleting the folder.
What version of android are you on btw?

Yes I have tried 2 to 3 explorer other than the stock one. but same. As version is Marshmellow so memory will not be detect in my PC. when I connect the phone with my PC, I tried to delete it, It gets delete, but again when I check from my mobile it show the folder and files as it is. that means it don't gets deleted. I don't know why it happens like that.
