[Q] Volume Button - Sound - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm using stock rom (2.3.4) with root.
I wanted to ask if anybody knows how to disable the "beep" if you change the volume with the volume button on the side?
It's very annoying I think.

I want this too!

couldnt you just delete the appropriate sound files in /system? im gonna try it now
edit: i couldnt find the sound files but i barely looked.

Yes that's the problem.
I tried this, too.
In other roms like CM you can look for these files and delete them.
But in the stock roms you can't find them and I don't know why...

What is the path of the files? I'm on CM7.

I only read that anybody could found them on CM7.
But there were no path listed.

[Q] Boot Animation

Okay, so I have been able to get a bootanimation.zip that i want. I placed it in /data/local... I reboot and it still shows the old swirling Samsung logo...But it does play my custom boot sound (awesome)... I haven't really seen any SGS4G specific threads...and the ones to other phones kind of run me in circles. Not looking for a hand out, just a heading...any idea? Something im PROBABLY missing...
Oh and i gave the bootanimation.zip god privileges...not sure if it matters
Running on 2.3.5 KI3 from Octiane V2.0 (awesome ROM BTW)
at the moment our gingerbread kernels do not support custom boot animations. I'm sure once we have a source to work with, will have full support.

OK first try with this app. I rooted my girls stock gingerbread droidx (if u need help rooting it stock gb droid x u can email me.)then u can download root toolbox and they have a section for boot animation, select one u like and install it. with this app u can even change splash screen and battery icon but for icon u will need pro version. u can just go to ipmart and download it for gree. anyways..... if this does not work u will have to do it manually which may seem scary but its quite simple. first get the bootanimation.zip u want and rename it(if u r with verizon) VZW_bootanimation.zip then download super explorer and then go to ur phones internal system /custom/reasourses and first want to go to that location and copy past the original bootanimation of phone and save to soundcard incase u want to change back to it in system/customize/reasourses and delete ,it will be names VZW_bootanimation.zip. now the custom animation can be added. go copy the custom animation go back to system/customize/reasourses and paste new animation a boom it will work I promise. note if for some reason when u restart phone and no animation is there dont worry nothing is broken the animation isn't allay compatible so just find another on and follow all the steps again minus saving the boot u had added u can just delete it.. now what I desperetly need help with is adding custom sound. I have tried many different thing with no results but negative. ive tried deleting the old sound file and renamwd new sound as old one and placed in system/customize/reasourses no sound , I even went into system/customize/cd/default.xml and changes the writing that tells the system when to play music to autostart="part0" /> no go ,="part1" /> no go. neither worked. I even unzipped the bootanimation.zip and renamed the folder VZW and changed back autostart="VZW" ect which was the original setting and no go. ive tried renaming file and placing it in system/media and pasteing no go, ive tried copying file and pasteing it in system/meadia/notification like some direction have said and no go. im at a lose of what to do. I have a thunderbolt running stock gb and want to customize the sound for bootanimation so if anyone can help please email me [email protected]. thanku and I await ur response

Considering this is for the Samsung galaxy s 4g, you technically are in the wrong forum. Our phones use a qmg file for animations as far.as I know, so bootanimations.zip will not work, I've already tried the method you posted, without success.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
there's a few custom ones in the theme section. You just have to push all the files manually.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
then its quite simple just rename ur new bootanimation exactally as ur old one a boom there u go. its not that difficult and if that doesnt work try something simple and download romtoolbox and install if from therr. if it works on the droid x it should that one

also u probably not only have to name it correctly u may have to try androidzip and change it to that kind of file type if not that do so on ur computer. were Theres a will Theres a way. also make sure ur permissions r correct

I will try that. If the qmg file is truly a zip file with its own custom file extension, then it should work, if its not, then it will display nothing. I'll back up just in case, but I was told by a developer on this phone (I believe raver), that it wasn't supported by the kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Let me know if that works, i'm out for a few days...I'll try when I get home. However, the second response to my post was that it's unsupported... But if there is a work around, that would be sweet.

hey rabid panda how did u get your custom boot sound to work thats what i am trying to do with mine but it doesnt play.
it's pretty easy, just take the wave file that you want to use and move it to /etc. rename it poweron.wav and reboot...all Done
you might want to make sure the permissions are set...I just checked all of mine.

Rename your wavfile to PowerOn.wav and push to system/etc
Make sure you name it exactly PowerOn.wav, matching the upper case P and O is necessary to make it work.
Edit:Got beat to the punch by a Rabid Panda lol
thats the problem im having i did that but no sound when i turn it off the shutoff sound works did i do something wrong
Sniper
try a smaller lower quality sound file... mine are no more than 16hz

[MOD] wake up phone with volume keys !

i hate reaching for power button to wake up phone!
this mod will wake up phone with volume keys!
this mod is made by GideonX, i asking for it on tmobile gs2 forum and he makes it for me!
this mod tested on "Deodexed" 2.3.6 stock rom.
wake up phone with volume keys
This works great. I just noticed however that it made the text in the Recent popup change from saying Task Manager to 4G Network Disconnected, although clicking it, it still correctly opens the Task Manager.
awesome thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for. Now, to find out how to install it (novice here), haha. Already rooted, but no custom roms running.

Use Root Explorer or any other root file manager.
or just flash it.. like you flash any custom rom!
I just need to have my phone rooted and this will work? Or do i need that other rom first?
Widgetlocker also has the function to do so

Ics stock music player?

Anyone have an APk for gingerbread or ics music player? Hellfire ics doesn't come with one.
Thanks

You could just download a rom that has it and extract the zip file. Pull the apk from system\app or whatever the directory is and find the right apk, then transfer over to your phone. Not sure if it will work tbh, but won't hurt anything to try.

This works, I added weapon's email.apk to bionix this way.
Awesome, got it to work. I used EB's music since it is from gingerbread. The ICS music player crashes constantly on ICS roms, pretty sure it works well on stock ICS phones...but not phones flashed with ICS.
Anyway, i disabled the music player included with the Hellfire ROM, so it doesnt show up in the app drawer any longer, also did this with other unnecessary items that i dont use...how do i enable them again if i ever want to? When looking for the apps i just disabled, i cant find them anywhere in the Manage Apps list or anywhere else.
Why didn't you just download the GB music app from the market. The one in the EB rom is not the newest player. Just do a google music search and it comes right up.

Well, if you looked at my previous post, the newest ICS player (with the headphones icon), doesn't run well on my phone.
It's a glitch with the ICS roms.
I'll give this one a shot, though.
Deleted: Sorry I read your original post wrong. I didn't realize you were running HellFire ICS and not GB. Sorry about that
its fine, I still need to find out how to enable things i disabled!! I got rid of the stock Browser, Voice Dailing, and something else i dont know.

I believe its a general cm7 problem upstream. It has happened to me as well. Usually just cycling speaker phone on then of fixes the problem.

Get a DL Jig from there, or even better... Get unbrickable mod! If you get UBM, get the jig anyways... still very handy.
Then just use one of my one-clicks to write back the stock bml rom.

I'm guessing you mean the stock keyboard? Pretty sure you cant. Try using Swiftkey, its the best keyboard by far. I would suggest the free beta that is going on right now but it seems it is over tomorrow

oh no, im not trying looking for a different keyboard. I was wondering if there was a way to change the ticking sound the keyboard makes to something else. maybe like a type writer sound or something like that?

Nah, not as far as I can remember. You should consider replacing that stock keyboard though, it is really bad
Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? if on a custom rom you can change them with a little work..
All you need is to find the sounds you want in .ogg format. There are 4 keyboard sound files.
KeypressDelete.ogg KeypressReturn.ogg KeypressSpacebar.ogg and KeypressStandard.ogg
rename your ogg files to the above. Then push them to the phone using adb to /system/media/audio/ui
reboot and enjoy your new sounds... If you do not know how to do this send me a pm with what you
are running and what you would like and I could probably make you a zip to flash in recovery...
I'm on a custom ROM. I was on another ROM a while back and the keyboard had a type writer sound which was pretty cool but the ROM always hot booted throughout the day so I switched to aokp jb. I can probably pull the sounds from the other ROM and if you can make a flash able zip with that? Idk but I'll send you a pm in a bit.

You can be on stock and do this also. You can change every sound your phone makes by replacing every ogg file here-just make sure the names remain the same.
