i am working on trying to figure out how to make my phone lock and unlock like the mgs codec. i have got the files on the phone and it works but is way to loud. i have attached the files i used if someone with more audio editing experince wants to take a crack at it.
the files have to be in .ogg format and be labeled Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. i used advanced wma workshop to convert the files from mp3.
to put them on your phone if anyone wants this
1 reboot into recovery
2 mount /system
3 open cmd and nav to your sdk/tools folder
4 pull system/media/audio/ui (this will backup the files before you replace them)
5 copy the backed up ogg files from your sdk/tools folder to another safe location and put the modified ogg files into the sdk/tools folder
6 push Lock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
7 push Unlock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
8 unmount /system and reboot
also if anyone does do this could someone upload the backed up files for me i didn't think about doin the pull till i wrote this up and i don't feel like doing a nandroid restore to get them back.
edit my buddy confirmed that i had these backwards i guess that is what i get for not listening to the files first. i reuploaded with correct file names
what if you just took the audio files and decreased the volume of the actual file?

using audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
i used the amplify effect and dropped both ogg files down some
seems to be where i want the sound at, but you can use audacity (which is free btw) to drop it more if you want
http://www.mediafire.com/?etknj3uiv55ql99
fwiw you can adb push these while the phone is running if you adb remount before it (need s-off)
so i tried this through the mount/system through clockmod and was able to push this files but it will not switch to the files i pushed, just uses the system defaults any suggestions? im thinking of just overwritting the rom zip with the new zip sounds and reflashing sounds good?

I used root explorer and just put the files in the system/media/audio/UI and did a restart and it worked.
right on ill give that a try
hey I used rootexplorer as well but i have a question because it does appear to be working. so did you MOVE or COPY all the files (mp3 + ogg) into the UI folder? It does not show up.

i firsted removed the defaults and moved the new files works like a charm but for some strange reason the two sounds merge when i lock phone and the unlock works great not sure whats up may restore originals and try again but first attempt worked fine with the deleting and moveing, i was adding a boot animation and before i knew it both play? no biggie really they overlap each other so its not some drawn out tone

Make sure you did not put the .mp3 and .ogg file in the same place just the .ogg

nah, i converted the mp3s to .ogg files since i lowered the sound volume since originals were enough to give me a heart attack lol

Hey guys,
Any idea? I have tried the method that putting the .nomedia file in the folder. But it's still not working because I can see the texture of the game in the gallery. You know, it's so annoying.
Is there any way for me to choose the folder of gallery using the official one?
----------------------------EDIT-----------------------------------
I've checked the file and the file surely is named ".nomedia". But the problem is still right here. So...any idea?
Side question: Will this method be applied to other sub folders automatically?
---------------------------Solution----------------------------------
After putting the .nomedia, you have to clear the data of both gallery and media storage. Then, reboot it and...the problem is solved.
Isn't the file supposed to be named .nomedia?
I'm sure Android will try to read a .txt file, so it wont work to exclude that folder.
+1
it supposed to be .nomedia

I've tried in my SGS2 and it didn't work till I rebooted the phone (maybe the images are cached on boot/init). Could you try rebooting to see if it works?
It should ignore all files and subfolders where .nomedia is placed.
Is this Monopoly youre playing? this also happened to me and I also got the answer here on XDA.
After you put the .nomedia file in the main folder do not reboot yet. clear the cache of both the "gallery" AND "media storage", now you can reboot and see the effects that nomedia has on your gallery.

Hey, you are the man! I have clear the date of both gallery and media storage. After rebooting, the annoying pictures are gone! It's just awesome to keep my gallery "clean". Thank you guys.
Hi,
I recently updated my Sensation to newest ARHD (7.0) without wipe and my ringtones and music is gone. Also for many of apps if I open them, I'm getting FC, but in this case if I delete data for that app, the problem is gone, but I don't know what I should do in case of lost ringtones and music? When I'm trying to select ringtone all I got is empty list.

Unzip the attachment and copy and paste it into system folder in the root of your phone. And try to set the ringtone again from setting. See what will happen.

There was other problem. The sound files were present, but system couldn't see them, but I've fixed this and other problems by fixing permissions via recovery.
But thanks anyway!
Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and to Android devices too, so please forgive me if I'm making some simple mistakes.
I've recently bought this beautiful device, and I've recently customized it with MaximusHD ROM so now I'm running Android 4.2.2 + Sense 5.0
I want to add my customized iPhone ringtones to my One S. I've googled for something that around the world and it seems damn simple but I cannot manage it to work as expected. I've searched also this forum and the instructions seems everywhere like this:
1) plug your device to the computer
2) transfer your ringtones to the equivalent folder on the device (somewhere it's called ringtones, somewhere else Ringtones I don't know if it's important or not)
3) that's it! You can add your ringtones browsing into Settings - Sound.
Well, I perform the steps but no ringtones at all!
I've tried to replace their extension from .m4r to m4a and also mp3 but nothing changed.
I've tried to reboot and or switch off my device, nothing.
I've tried to put the ringtones in the Download folder and the move them from inside the device with Solid Explorer, nothing.
I've tried to put them in Music folder, nothing at all...
What's wrong?
The ringtones aren't bought from iTunes, they are simple mp3 cropped to 30 sec with this site http audiko dot net/
They are DRM free in fact Solid Explorer can playback them regardless their file extension.
I've even found a thread where it's talking about a .nomedia file in the folder, but it's not the case of my device with Android File Transfer and Solid Explorer I don't see any .nomedia file into Ringtones folder.
Thank you for your help in advice!
Give "media scanner" from play store a try...
Sometimes even my phone needs some time to find all new custom ringtones...

Hi, where can I find that option on Play Store?
However in the meantime I've found a solution.... really strange but it works.
I've sent the mp3s via Bluetooth. I had to rename it from m4r to mp3 first but after that I've transferred them to the phone, Settings -> Sound displayed them instantly without rebooting the device. I've noticed that they're stored in downloads/bluetooth folder.
It seems to me that if the Sense doesn't "see" the files then it won't work nevertheless the folder I put them in.
But I can live with mp3 stored in downloads/bluetooth folder. :laugh:
It just sounds really strange to me it doesn't work in the easier way.
I assume that your device is rooted. Use ES File Explorer ... tools ... root explorer ... mount R/W ... then, open system folder ... media folder ... audio ... ringtones. That's where to copy and paste your ringtones. Afterward, simply change ES File Explorer back to R/O and reboot. Your new ringtones will now be in the settings menu.

Yes, it's rooted since I've installed MaximusHD ROM.
In one of my attempts I've tried to put the ringtones in that folder with Solid Explorer (that asked me for permissions) then I rebooted the device but still nothing, only I don't remember if in that attempt the file extensions were mp3 or m4r (ven if it seems it doesn't matter, at least to the file manager that playback them even if I rename it .ogg).
There's one thing that I don't understand: I've noticed that Android File Manager shows me the content of /storage/emulated/0 folder; however in the folder /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones there are two ringtones (hangouts_message.ogg and hangouts_video_call.ogg) that system sound settings recognize without problems. The thing that I don't understand it's why it doesn't work if I put my files among this two.
Oh and there's also another ringtone that the system sound settings recognize and it's placed in /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications but again if I put my files there they aren't recognized.
I don't understand why files sent via Bluetooth works while transferring directly in the proper folder by USB don't...
They can be ogg or mp3 files, either will work. However they need to be placed into system folders, not simply put into storage folders of internal memory on your sd card. In order to do that you will need root explorer or ES file explorer, and mount the system as I explained earlier. If you need a step by step instruction, let me know.

Hi, thank you. What's really sound strange to me it's that a "normal user" has to root his device to put some ringtones on it while using Bluetooth everything works fine. I mean, even Apple let you put your ringtones with iTunes, without jailbraking the iPhone.
Besides, if this is the only method that works, then I really don't understand what is the purpose of Ringtones, Notifications folders in the /storage/emulated/0 (those normally displayed by Android File Transfer app) if they doesn't do what expected.
Those folders already existed on the phone, I didn't touch anything.
Actually, the Maximus rom changes your sd card ... my guess is, that is what is keeping you from simply dropping the files into the ringtone folder, like you can on a stock rom. None the less, if you are rooted, the best and most complete way, is to do what I described earlier.
Yeah, it's possible. I can ask on the official topic of that ROM maybe.
Thank you for your help I'll make a test and let you know if it worked.

Hey, on my G2, I had a zip I flashed that put just about every devices ringtone and notification on my phone. Can someone figure out how we can get that zip on here without recovery. Or if it's amazingly simple, and I'm just stupid , be nice and explain...thanks

Can you give the link to that zip file.
Maybe you need to put those ringtone/notification in system/media/audio and in their respective folder.
There is a tethered recovery that you can use to flash it with. I had a similar thing with my S3, had my own sound pack that I flashed with recovery. Tried on my G3 with the tethered recovery and works fine.
Create the following folders on you sdcard "Ringtones" "Notifications". Whatever sounds you put into these folders will show up in the respective list when you try to select the ringtone or notification. As for your flashable zip, just open it with a file editor, search for the folders containing the notification sounds, ringtones and copy them into the folders you just created on your sdcard. This way you don't need root and won't mess up anything in the system folder by accident.

Completely spot-on. Personally I always copy them manually to /system/media but your solution also works fine (don't forget to reboot though, before additional questions will be asked ).
Thank you gentleman
