Remove clicking sounds

wm2005 is really a big step forward. However, I have a big problem with the clicking sounds when you choose a menu or an application. I wanted to remove those 2 sounds, but that's impossible since these are in Rom.
I can't find anything how to remove this hoorible clicks. I hope that someone has a suggestion.
thx

Why don't you just uncheck sounds fo "Events (warnings, system events) from the Sounds and Notifications in the Personal Settings?

I'm wondering if it's possible to change that clicking sound to another sound of my choice . . . Can any of the Tech Guru's Please Help ?

There is a way, you would have to search your device for the original sounds, back them up and override them with your own.

as long as you know the name of the sound you want to change; it's possible. for me, i changed the normal beep sound when the "G" icon comes up after a soft reset (GPRS). the name of that sound is "default". what i did was took a wav file i wanted to use, from my laptop i renamed it to "default", copied and pasted it to the windows folder of my unit. there will be a menu pop-up question saying something like "the file "default" already exists, do you want to replace it?" click ok and there you go; the default sound is different. the other built in sounds can be seen when you go to your sounds and notifications folder. example; the activesync sound can be changed by choosing from the drop down menu. these are the built in sounds; you can change the actual wav file by putting in a sound with the same name (like the one i did for the default sound). i think what you can't do is change the name of the built in sound...
hope that helps.

Yes , thank-you guys it works Gr8 . Only thing is that you need to use another file explorer like Resco etc etc if you want to replace the system sound cuz the built in Explorer won't allow it .

Lock sounds

I have been able to customize every sound for my phone except the sound when my phone locks or unlock. Has anyone found the file that needs to be modified in order to change that? I have tried to use many of the lockscreen replacement apps, but none habe satisfied what I'm looking for. TIA.

replace the unlock.ogg with whatever .ogg file you want to use inside the system/media/audio/ui folder. I used my droid.ogg for each time i unlocked the screen, but make sure its the same file name as the one your replacing or it won't work.
edit: I uploaded the droid.ogg file, just rename it to Unlock.ogg before you paste it into the system/media/audio/ui folder.
Hope this helps
be sure to unzip it first lol

I have tried to change these files with no success. What exactly is a .ogg file? Will any media file work if I change the extension to .ogg? ie: .mp3 to .ogg? Thanks

you need to convert not rename the audio files to .ogg for the phone to play specific unlock/lock sounds.
I have mine set to Ep2 Lightsaber open/close

the .ogg file is inside the .zip i attached, i just can't attach it as an actual file since XDA doesn't allow that format unless its zipped
rename droid.ogg to unlock.ogg
i've done this many times before with all the ROMs i've used and it works as long as its a Froyo rom since it was added in 2.2 for the Incredible.
.ogg is a format thats open source, playable on WinAMP, VLC, and GOM player.
if you need to convert a file that you don't have in .ogg format, use this link to upload it and convert it online.
http://media.io/
it will ask you to browse for the file you want converted, then it will ask you what format you want to convert it to
Hope that helps, if so, please click "Thanks"

I know I posted this in the other lock sounds thread, but I thought I would post it here to for those that may be watching this thread for an answer.
SUCCESS! I was actually able to use a different site using my phone. http://www.online-convert.com/
I then used root explorer to rename and copy the file into the correct system folder. Works great now. My only complaint is that it seems I can't control the volume of the lock/unlock sounds I chose using any of the volume settings. It's always on full blast unless I set to silent or vibrate. Any ideas? Thanks.

I dont think you can adjust the volume of the unlock UI notification within of the basic controls of the volume (RT/Media/Alarm). Only thing i can think of is editing the sound file to a lower volume you can use most audio editors/mixers to do that. Then convert/overwrite
2cents

SUCCESS AGAIN!! I did some research and found out you can change the system volume, which controls the lock sounds, via an app called Audio Manager. I just used the free widget version and lowered my system volume by one or two. Works great. I don't personally use the widget portion of the app. Thanks for everyone's help on this. Hope my trials help someone else find the answers they need.

[How-to] sound on boot and UI sounds

Big thanks to Biggoron.
This shouldn't effect your phone or harm it but if you screw it up its not my fault always have a backup.
I figured Id do a how to for some new people or those who never thought of this. Anyways....
1. You'll need some kind of root viewer root explorer es file manager etc. (Make sure your system is rewritable)
2. A .wav file is needed so find one you like however if you don't have one or only have a mp3 then use an online converter.
3.Once you have those two go into your root file viewer and find /system then go into the etc file and scroll down until you see a PowerOn.wav if you don't see one then it's fine. However go ahead and delete it and paste your .Wav file sound and rename it to PowerOn.wav Reboot and you should hear your sound playing. I if not your phone sucks ^^ no but then you did something wrong or your kernel may not support it.
UI Sounds
Okay for UI sounds it very similiar except go into the media folder in /system find audio and look in UI folder. For (the touch sound) find TW_Touch.ogg and delete it and paste your .ogg file you'd liked to use I personally just rename the Effect_Tick.ogg to TW_Touch and it sounds like the normal gingerbread touch tone. (Charger Connection Sound) is the Charger_Connection.ogg and the the full battery notification is TW_Battery_caution and lastly the low battery notification is TW_Low_Battery.
Just reboot and the new sounds shall take effect.
Have fun wasting some time customizing your phone.

Change screen selection sound?

For some reason I can't figure out how to change the sound the tablet makes when taping the screen. I can turn it off in the "sound" settings but not change the type of sound it makes. Anyone know how to do this?

You mean you dont love the Samsung bwoop sound

If you are rooted you can manually either rename/delete the actual sound file or replace it with another sound file of your own.
I use Root Explorer myself to do this and I can highly recommend this app.
The sound file is located in /system/media/audio/ui and it's called "S_HW_Touch.ogg".
Note: Your tablet must be rooted to be able to access the /system folder.
If you just would like disable the sound, just rename the file to "S_HW_Touch.bak" or something.
If you would like to replace it, make sure that the file you would like to use is in .ogg format (not sure if you actually need to convert it but do so anyway just to be sure).
Rename the original sound file, copy the new one to /system/media/audio/ui and rename the new one to match the old file name.
Please note that you must mount system as R/W, there is a small grey button in Root Explorer that manages this for you (it's located above the files).
Edit: Yes, you can of course turn off the sound in the Settings....

Slider sound customization?

It's often mentioned that the slider sounds can be customized and I've seen it in a video but I want to know if you can use your own sounds (ie. using an mp3 file on the device) instead of the pre-loaded or online ones from Xiaomi?

The china dev rom let's you do that. Not sure you can do mp3 though. It has Online ones but given it goes to a Chinese service I haven't looked there.

Ok cool, will there be a global dev rom you think? And maybe not mp3's but our own sound files of some format, right?
I'll be buying the global version in the west and I'd like to use cliche Zelda sounds for the slide sound...

I would assume yes at some point a dev global rom would show up on XDA but also I would assume the feature will make it to stable as well...who knows, maybe even on the first release of a stable global

Slider settings is only available on China Dev for now and I flashed it, but there was only stock preset or useless downloadable sounds...
Only root can change sound files in /system/media/ui.

Assuming you had root on global 10.2, could you replace the default slider sound file in /system/media/ui with any sound file? Any idea what the format would have to be? My Mi Mix 3 is in route otherwise I would look myself

Hey all,
I have successfully used a custom open/close sound for the slider. I am on global hardware and global MIUI ROM 10.2.2.0, rooted with Magisk 17.3. I haven't tried making new entries in the list of options (which are Hi-Tech, Lighter, Warrior, Mechanics, and Intellect), but replacing one of the current ones was really straightforward. Here's a quick guide anyway:
*THIS REQUIRES ROOT*
Find whatever sounds you want to use in two separate audio or video files (I used the lightsaber on/off sounds from this Youtube video)
Convert the file to an .ogg file (I used this website but it doesn't particularly matter)
Copy the files to your Mi Mix 3 somehow (I literally just emailed them to myself)
Use a root file explorer (I used ES Explorer) and navigate to \system_root\system\media\audio\ui
Pick one of the current sounds to replace (I used slider_zippo_open.ogg and slider_zippo_close.ogg)
Rename your custom sounds the same name as the ones you're replacing
Move the sounds you are replacing to another folder for safe-keeping or delete them, whichever you prefer
Move the custom sounds that now match the old names into the UI folder
Go into the slider settings (close and reopen Settings if you had it open during the movement of files) and select the sound you replaced (in my case 'Lighter')
Profit

can do no chief!
