Ok, I'm looking for an app that can convert mp3 to ogg format. I know I can get (and have) programs for windows which can do this but I want an app which does and it's be awesome if there's one which will insert it to the appropriate place, eg, to the ringtone folder on the phone. I doubt the latter part had been done (mostly out of cynicism) but it would be nice to have instead of having to use a file explorer and manually copying it.
The second is a batch app installer which doesn't bug me for confirmations with every app. It's annoying. I want a one-click batch installer. One click and install and only stops to bug me if there's a error.
For a one click batch installer buy the pro key for titanium backup. That lets you skip the confirm screens.

Also Rom Toolbox by jrummy. Batch backup / restore with a TON of other features. Everything from file manager with root permissions, build prop editor, performance tweaks, font and battery icon changer, CM7 theme downloader, and so on. Great tool and I think it's like 3 or 4 bucks, last I checked.

Thanks, I figured out that titanium can do it, I had never mucked much with it. I have the free version of ROM tool box, I'll have to look at it a little closer as well. So much to do, so little time and energy.
Good old double posting. Anyhow, so one down one to go. I would at least like an mp3 to ogg app. I tried to convert some on my own and the files when played with any normal audio player have sound but when I put them in the ringtone and notification directory and restarted the files actually didn't play.

Not an app but i know there's website you can go to, upload the mp3, and download the ogg. Could do that on your phone.

I tried that. I'm going to just post in the general section, hit more people. There's something going on here that's being missed otherwise the files would just work.

Yeah if they're not working altogether then it could be something else. I've used the sites to convert to ogg and then I copy over to the system folders audio with ES Explorer. Works just fine for me.

Ah, see that's exactly what I did, copied them to the correct dir and they showed up after a reboot but had no sound. Can you give me the link to the exact site you used?

I'm wondering what app ppl are using to download mp3's on theory android devices. I've been using gtunes but am starting to see it not finding mainstream music. Also not thrilled with its permissions.
What's the best app for downloading free music?

I doubt you will get too much help with that here, seeing as most of those apps are legally questionable... not sure that helps

Thanks, i used to use that too. I have been using gtunes but i think more often than not it doesnt find what im looking for, which is mainstream. I have since downloaded "Free Music Download" (orange icon white headphones as the icon) and it works better.
I've discovered a method of using the web browser xscope to download the music files via mediafire or megupload. In Google type, site:mediafire.com (artist name) (album name). Packages usually come in the form of .zip or .rar files but also as .Mp3 for single files. Pick the link of the files you want and allow it to finish downloading. You will need a .zip and/.rar expander to reveal the .Mp3 files in the album. I use the app, android zip.UnzipLite and unrar, both found in the market. You will need to navagate your SD card to find the files located in the xscope download folder with one of the two applications. Place files into the media/audio folder on your SD. I hope you guys try this out it works quite well for me and never really have to worry about syncing to get a new album on my phone.

Hi Guys,
When you record with the video camera, it makes a very irritating noise and I'd like to delete that. The camera app lets you go silent but the video doesn't for some reason.
I've looked in (using root explorer) /system/media/audio and I can't find those sound files, is there another location sound files are kept?
Best Regards
can you pull the camera apk file? i don't have root yet but maybe i can find it for you from the apk.
I pulled this one from /system/app
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6759990/Camera.apk
Is this the right one?
cheers
Try replacing your /system/app/Camera.apk with this one (back up original first). I reduced the volume of the two WAV files to nothing. Haven't had a chance to test it myself as I am not yet rooted.
Be sure to force stop the app and clear its data, also a reboot might be necessary.
Thanks man, I'll give this a try shortly.
were the sound files embedded in the apk?

Yes they are! And very helpfully named camstart01.wav and camstop01.wav
HAHA never thought to look in there
I see them.
That's why I like android, seems like everything is possible.
Ok I'm at work so my brain may just be fried. but I renamed your file and tried it and it wouldn't launch.
Then I modified the wav files in the .apk with audacity, and when I launch it I get an FC right away but I can still see the camera working under the FC dialog.
I'll mess with it when I get home, it's probably user error
I updated the APK in my previous post, used a newer version of apktool, old version might have been buggy.
Need to use apktool to unpack and then repack it if you are trying it yourself and then sign it with jarsigner and zipalign it with zipalign.
Be sure to force stop the app and clear the app data, also a reboot might be necessary.
I hope it works.
That worked!
Many thanks.
Love this file manager. Everyone should be using this. Only thing that seems to confuse people, if you wanna copy of move a file to a different location, the file has to be selected from one side, and the destination has to be selected on the other side, then you hit copy of move and it will send it to that location. I usually just keep internal on one side, external on the other, and you can pop things back and forth. Works the same for sending files to cloud storage. However dropsync is the app I most use for that, large files seem to transfer more easily than in file managers. Smaller files work just fine tho.

I've been using this app since the glory days of s60v3. all other file manager apps just look like a confusing mess to me compared to x-plore and I don't ever see the day coming when I'll drop it.
that said there does seem to be some kind of changes in google's file system that x-plore hasn't kept up with. moving and copying files on marshmallow roms made after roughly Jan/Feb 2016 has the exact same issues for me on 2 phones. one is an s4 i9505 running custom and the other is an m8 on HTC made google edition firmware. that stops me thinking it's rom related.
without me even describing the issue in any detail do others out there know what I'm talking about ?
does anyone with a real dev level of understanding know specifically what the cause is ? if so I'd like to share that info with the dev at LCG and to bring the app back to it's former and fully deserved glory...

Are you talking about Android 5+ SD card write support? If yes, X-plore already supports it.

I switched from ES to X-plore.
To be honest, ES is more user friendly. X-plore is more like Total Commander, dual-panel styled file manager, which is more geeky.
Features are about the same, but X-plore is better for zip/archive management. I love disk map too, much faster than storage analyzer in ES. Also, ES is a adware/bloatware now, always sending data to servers in China.

no that wasn't what I meant. specifically it's copying and moving files from anywhere to anywhere now results in a kind of hang for up to half an hour depending on the file size. you can leave the process to run in the background or even interrupt it and cancel it (most of the time it will be completed unless you marked more than one file). even if you've cancelled the move or copy and killed the app the notification will stay up for about half an hour before finally deciding it's completed with a toast to confirm it.
in the early days moving one file within the same memory was instant as the index was updated rather than moving anything. once this stopped being the case this weird error began it's journey.
I also use profimail from same author. Great apps

check your configuration screen in the app, do you have "do you have open APK as zip" checked ? if yes uncheck it and see if it works.

I'm trying to use some mp3/m4a music files as alarms or notification tones, but not all these files work. Most of the time, after I choose the sound file, it would show silent as the ringtone/notification. So even though I have a certain file set, it would not ring when I get a call.
Anyone have an idea. This never happened on my old phone that was on 4.1
If I select a file for my ringtone, it would display no sound after I select it.

Perhaps your mp3 files have some issues. Try using a program like mpTrim (windows) on them to clean them up.

The m4a files are just ones downloaded from iTunes. What do you mean by clean them up?

I've tried mp3 files too. It still doesn't work. However, if I use PowerAmp to set the ringtone, then that file will work. It puts another copy in the Ringtone folder in the root of the SD card. I have my music file in the Music folder and not in any media\music structure.
it's quite loud when you're setting it down at night after a brief check. seems to be louder than the other volumes for some reason too.
Yes but you need root. And the modification would mean no OTA updates too.
Oddly with this particular sound, you cannot even delete it. You must replace it with a "silent" .ogg file. It cannot even be a text file renamed .ogg either. It must be a genuine ogg file, with no audio in it.
Then you have to put that in /system/media/audio/ui and it must be called WirelessChargingStarted.ogg
There MAY be an xposed module to do it too. I dont know it though.

Thanks so much for the solution. One thing I had to do when using your ogg was to change permissions to -rw -r -r. If the permissions were not correct it was playing the default notification sound even though I had your file in place.
I can now charge my phone at night without worrying about waking the wife
I remember there is some xposed module for the same.. Check that if you are rooted...
