Through Sounds and Notifications. If you want to get customised sounds on your system, you can place them on your SD card or copy into Windows directory, then select through Sounds and Notifications under Notifications tab, just select SMS from a pull down menu, tick Enable Sound and select the sound you want.

Thanx for your response, but it doesn't what I mean. What I mean is when you sent sms, it will appear notification SMS SENT bubble with sound. Now how to change this sound of sms sent notification. Please reply.

Not sure you can change that, I just disabled the sent notification altogether.

Same here...

Finally I can change the sound of sms sent notification
Guys,
I van change this stuff, with reg edit go to
HKCU
Control panel
Notifications
Default
Wave
Then edit with the extension of "wav" or Mp3 sounds that what you want
ex. /Windows/alarm2.wav
or what ever you want..

The sent notifications would annoy me no matter what they sounded like, which is probably the reason I disabled the whole thing in Advanced Config. But thanks for the tip, might be useful to someone.

stupid answers
why cant people in this forum, in general, not just answer the question straight away, instead of giving stupid opinions which are not needed anyway? thanks for coming up with the solution the the poster of the tip how to change notification sound. been searching for this for months now.

Don't think we have the need for the replies of the kind you posted either. Ironic, isn't it?

Calm down everyone... This has been posted everywhere.
Use any registry editor, go to:
hkcu\controlpanel\notifications\default\wave
then edit the string by changing to your desired msg tone inside the windows root directory
for example change the default to any wave file you have...

Stock 2.2 unlock sound replace?

Can anyone tell me how i can replace the "click" sound for the Unlock screen on the new 2.2 ROM that was leaked? i want to use the Droid sound .ogg file instead of the unlock sound HTC put in.
I tried doing a adb push Unlock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui
but it didn't replace it,
I did it in recovery and it said it went through, but audio is the same
am I missing a command?

mind sharing the file?

There you go, just rename it to Unlock.ogg after you unzip it

NEWB...Please Help
Hey guys,
I know this thread is a bit old but I am new to this stuff and have very little idea about how to do this.
Is there a resource somewhere here that explains the how to's for guys like me?
Or just a noob guide to making my dinc play a different sound when I unlock it.
Thanks so much.

It was explained earlier in the thread. For this update zip method reboot into recovery. Go into mounts/storage mount system and data. Then flash your update zip just make sure to rename the audio file in the zip to the file name mentioned above. Hope that helps.

No... that is not a flashable zip. You need to extract the file from the zip, rename it and adb push to its location. If this doesn't make sense, don't bother cuz you can f#ck up your phone...

Can any audio file be used for this? ie: can I rename laser.mp3 to unlock.ogg? Will that work?

That will not work, you must convert the file from mp3 to ogg first, use this site to do that
http://media.io/
simply upload your file you want to use, select the format you want to convert to (.ogg for UI audio (ie: unlock sound, alert sound, etc)
before sending to your phone, be sure to rename the audio file to be exactly the same name (including Caps) ie: Unlock.ogg NOT unlock.ogg
I hope this helps, if it does, please click "Thanks"!
The reason for the caps vs lowercase is because this is a Linux operating system, in Linux, the OS see's file names as OS files if there named a certain way, take for example
if you put a folder called Media on your SD card's root, and then have another folder called "Notifications" inside that, the phone will show those files as Notification sounds when selecting them to change
if the folder was called media and not Media, the phone would ignore it If its on the SD card, but if its inside the System folder it won't.
Media>Notifications>Name.ogg <<SD card))
Media>Audio>UI>Name.ogg <<system/media/audio/ui) internal memory
but all the audio files inside the System/Media/Audio/UI folder have caps then lowercase.
Unlock.ogg
Lock.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
KeypressReturn.ogg
KeypressDelete.ogg
Effect_Tick.ogg
camera_click.ogg
if you rename a file that doesn't exactly match what the system wants, it will not replace the existing one and still use the stock one.
make sense yet? (No Pun intended) lol
do you get it? (the UI folder must be inside the System/Customize/

What you said makes sense. Although I can't seem to get that website to work from my phone. Every time I click convert, I says cannot locate. Do I need to do this from a computer?

can't do it on your phone, it uses java and some other sort of code that won't work on a mobile phone.
simply save it to your pc where you know it would be easy to find and then just push it using ADB (make sure you move or save the file inside the tools folder of the sdk if you push it using adb or it adb won't find it

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.

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.

lol yeah, its media volume is what you want to control the sounds volumes, and you can control this under settings>sound>volume
be carefule with those volume apps they can screw up your speaker, some are designed to send more voltage to your speaker than it can handle making it louder but as an end result can fry your speaker and cause it to crackle or have static

Actually, media volume does nothing to adjust the lock sounds once you change them. System sounds is what you want to change. Although keep in mind that this also changes the volumes for 'sound on keypress' and 'audible selection' options. I just lowered mine from 7 to 6 and it made a HUGE different in the volume.

That's why I dont use them to make anything louder, but more to individually control each sound. If I want music or something louder, I'll plug my phone into some sort of external system.

You guys doing this on a stock sense rom? Because i've done the exact same thing and nothing changes on either the unlock screen or the camea shutter.

froyostone with sense no ringtones?

I'm new and tried googling and all for this problem. I installed a custom rom (miri) and froyostone android and for some reason I can't select a ring tone or any other sound setting.
My phone calls work fine and all other sounds do to. What is the reason I can't select a ring tone?
I tried to download the media folder and still nothing.

go to the app store and search for free ringtone programs. install one and pick a ringtone and it should let you pick it then.

If I go to sound settings, click on phone ringtone, there's nothing there. I can't select anything either.

Yea, I got the 1 ringtone I downloaded to show, just not the others. I will try the other option. I'll post back.

sorry, I don't play much with android. Looks too much like ios to me and didn't really have any advantages for what I use the phone for everyday.

That second option did it. I read you had to put the media folder in the root. I didn't know it meant the root of android folder. Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.

its a folder titled media that you have to put in the android folder when you start it up.

Disabling slide to unlock on KP V4 rom

Heya, I've recently installed Khalpower's V4 rom. Pretty awesome job =) However, I wasn't able to disable the "slide to unlock" screen. Since I'm using the pattern lock, there is no need for the slide to unlock screen anymore. The original moto rom would disable the "slide to unlock" screen when lock pattern is enabled. Is there an option to do so in KP's rom?
Many thanks! =)

Also, have realised that the camera button is not working. Have anyone experience that? Also, is there a known issues/bugs thread to keep track of any problems on the custom roms?
Thank you!

AFAIK the slider issue is there on all of the Froyo ROMS here (Dexters, Xavwanteds & Kahlpowers). I've never seen a fix for this issue.
If your talking about the gallery button (small button next to the shutter) this is also a known issue.

Ohh ic, thanks for your reply
Any idea where to get the old ringtones cos i really like the meadow grass ringtone =P and also the 15% battery sound notification is quite creepy :S anyway to change it?
Thanks

I should be able to dig up the default ringtones when I get home.
Look in /system/media/audio/ui, I would think you could replace LowBattery.ogg with the sound of your choosing (IDK if it has to be an ogg file or not?) that should work but I haven't tried yet.

Oic, do i access there using root explorer? Anyway if you have the default ringtone meadow grass would be great =D cos i backed it up only with recovery so didnt have the ogg files.
Thanks again

That reminds me... I've been meaning to ask someone for this ages ago. Do you or anyone else have all the ringtones from the 2.1 (there were a few I liked but I can't remember the names) and the wallpapers as well? (there was a really nice blue one with white swirls that looked great on the screen)
Would be appreciated.

teh ringtones

teh wallpapers

Many thanks
How can I put the wallpapers on so it shows up as an option to choose from like in 2.1? (I mean like if I would longpress on homescreen I could select from a little gallery of wallpapers in the normal wallpaper way)

Ahh cool Anyway, how to gain excess to the root files? Tried with all kinds of explorers but didnt work. Root explorer is paid app so didnt try that. Didnt work with su on terminal as well.

If you long press the home screen >> wallpapers >> media gallery you can browse pics on your sdcard. I believe you would have to decompile edit and recompile the home apk to get them in the default wallpaper gallery

Ringtone assignement

So here's my issue with my HTC One SV :
Ringtones assigned but default ringtones ringing, I have assigned my ringtones (call, sms,email, calendar),all works OK, except calls where the default ringtones(the one for general ringtones) ringing instead of the assigned ringtone?
Have other two phones(Samsung & Sony) and no problem at all with same settings. Had tis in the past, never had any issues... Now remember, had this with my HTC One...
Before questions asked, here's the settings :
On SD card root created folder media and subfolders audio>alarms>notifications>ringtones.
As mentioned before, all tones are ok, except call/phone ringtone.
changed memocard, but same story....
Any idea?

Mine are on root of sd card in folder
/system/media/audio/alarms
/system/media/audio/notifications
/system/media/audio/ringtones
All works fine.

Ringtones work well for me, but I had a similar problem (don't know if this is the same reason) with special tones for my contacts using "Textra" (special SMS-app). I could solve this with a third-party app called "Rings extended".

Try putting your ring tone in the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder then set the permissions to rw-r-r this is what i do with all my ringtones/notification tones. See if that works by making it a system ringtone. Also in settings then sounds then phone ringtone in the upper right hand corner theres an add button try adding your ringtone that way if the system one fails.

I am not rooted, so system/media ... access isn't possible. Switched back to Samsung couple days ago (nice black S3 GT-I9305), and have no issues at all with my personal ringtones & notifications.
I am going to sell that HTC as it failed me . If anyone interested let me know.
