I have the EC10 Pick and Pack Rom with the latest Voodoo Kernel on my Samsung Mesmerize. Decided to try and customize things a little and I'm stuck on a problem I'm not sure what to do.
I fell in love with the TTS voice Voodoo does when it configures the system partition. Sounded robotic and I thought I would start changing some sounds. Found the path for changing sounds in system/media/audio/ui through some other threads and it's simple enough to swap the Lock.ogg and TW_Unlock_Puzzle.ogg file to whatever I wanted.
The only issue is, the lock sound comes out nice and clear, but the unlock sound is very very quiet. I had to change the volume of the sound file in my sound editing software as much as 400% just to make it near what the lock sound is. I would be happy if I could get them to sound out at about the same level but this isn't the case.
I'm using http://www.mainepcsales.com/temp/Locked.ogg and http://www.mainepcsales.com/temp/Unlocked.ogg as files. You can see I cranked up the volume on the Unlocked.ogg file so it's obviously louder but if I go any louder it will come out with a lot of static.
Does anyone know what causes this behavior? As far as sound options they are all cranked up. Maybe I'm missing something... if you could point me in the right direction if this is the wrong place to post about this I would greatly appreciate it.
The Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg are the files I assumed I had to replace to change the Lock/Unlock sounds but it seemed like the Unlock.ogg was incorrect. It was instead TW_Unlock_Puzzle.ogg that I had to replace with my custom sound to have it changed.
This leads me to believe that the TouchWiz launcher is configured to have a softer Unlock sound versus the Lock sound. I don't know more about Android OS to configure it and I don't even know if it's possible to change the volume of a sound in the TouchWiz application.

I have a Droid Incredible and am trying to locate some of the sound files on the phone. I know where the ringtones, notifications, and alarms are located. But where are the other sound files? Specifically I am looking for the "click" audible touch sound used when selecting something as well as the "doot" sound used when adjusting the volume with the volume rocker.
Can someone point me to the location of these sound files? Thanks!
Bumping this. I am hoping one of the ROM cooks can help me out...
Does anyone know where the screen lock sounds are? They are too soft. I have a i9000 and comparing you can barely hear the screen lock. I have tried to maximize the volume on everything from ringtone to notifications but no good. I was thinking of going in manually to raise the volume of the clips.
TLDR: Where is the location of the screen lock sounds, looked in /system/media and was not able to find it.
ok.. the actual sounds are in /system/media/audio/ui
The 2 ogg files are Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg (duh...)
Ok these are fine and have been tweaked with.
Now, where would I find the files for the phone dialer, or is that programmed into the actual apk?
** update.. seems that the key0.ogg key1.ogg ...-> key9.ogg files are missing.. so does this mean that the sounds is programmed into the apk?
k, I've been looking around for this for awhile, and I believe either a tw based GB ROM or cm9 was the last I saw of this feature. I'd like to be able to disable the sound when the volume keys are pressed to either increase or decrease ringtone level.
either that, or if someone can tell me where the .ogg file is located I have no problems doing it manually. its not in /system/media/audio/ui and a full phone based *.ogg search turned up nothing.
Is there an app or other software to boost the volume? All my volume settings are maxed and i cant really hear the caller. Sometimes, though, it comes in just fine, but most of the time it doesnt.
Thanks

I had this problem with another phone and after an extensive search, I ultimately gave up on it. I will share what I tried and maybe save you a little trouble.
First and simplest, try gently cleaning out the earpiece with a little toothpick, a pin, or better yet blow it out with some air. This seems to work for some people, as overtime gunk can build up inside the screen.
Next, there are a lot of apps that claim to work as volume boosters. Most of them are for speaker volume and not for in-call volume. After sifting through many of them I found one or two that claimed to help in call volume but they really did not work. If you go this route then "happy hunting".
Some ROMs have a hearing aid setting under the Accessibility options but I couldn't tell you which. The ROM I'm using has ways to change the volume steps for all volume settings and that might help (I'm using Liquid Smooth found here in the DEV section).
There is an Xposed module that enables you to adjust some volume steps.
Viper for Android gives you a lot of control over the sound of the device (it has Xloud) and it works well with the Apollo Music Player found on many ROMs but I can't say for sure it helps in-call volume. It sure makes music sound good though.
Last and hardest, if you are rooted and have a file managing app, you can go into the system files and edit them. This would probably require the assistance of a dev who could tell you exactly where these file are located and what the correct settings should be. Of course, there is always a chance of damaging your phone this way.
That's all I know. Hopefully, one of these options will work for you, or someone wiser will jumped in with a better solution. Good luck!
You need to tell everyone what software you are using and how long you have been having a problem.
Last few phone had little to no dev support, so I've been away from the root/rom game for awhile. Just picked up a Oneplus 9 and happy to see development going on.
My only complaint so far with this phone is that the system volume is tied to the ringer volume. I want to find a way to silence system sounds completely (things like beep when plugged in, beep with GA, beep with keyboard speech input, etc.). There may be several ways to go, and thought I would ask to see if anyone could put me on the right track (following list are things I've, more or less, done with past phones which had this same "feature")...
ROM suggestions that come with a separated system/ringtone volume?
Xposed mod which decouples or mutes system volume?
App which can mute or decouple system volume?
Root + a list of system sound files that can be zeroed out?
I am open to any suggestions, as long as I can get this fixed.
