I'm missing it on my Nexus S. Either it's not here or I'm blind and stupid. Can someone point the way? It's become so iconic, to my brain, it doesn't recognize anything else quite the same way...
What was it called? PM me your email address.
It's called Pixie Dust. I grabbed my brother's Nexus One.
Grrrr! It's driving me nuts without that specific sound.
The Nexus S doesn't come with Pixie Dust notification sound. I just checked my stock phone and it's not there.
I pulled it out of a ROM file for the i9000 though, so here it is if you want to push it via adb to your phone's /system/media/audio/notifications folder. I may do just that myself...
Bit of a noob question lol but how do u push via adb.

Can use root explorer also. All done from phone.
This is another option. Make a folder on sdcard partition name (Audio) and inside that folder make another folder named (notifications). Place the audio tone in the notifications folder. Then reboot. It should show in the listing for notifications.
here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/451884460/pixiedust.ogg
create these folders: "media", then "audio", then "notifications". throw the file into the last folder. throw the media folder into your phone.
not sure if the folder part was necessary, but that's what i read back when i got my g2. worked on both the g2 and ns.
Thanks to everyone!!!!
Brilliant! Thanks for this.

Did 2.3.3 fix the bug where ringtones and notifications on the sdcard got "lost" when randomly or after a USB storage mount? Even if they did, you still lose access to the sounds when USB storage mounted. That's a problem putting on the sdcard. It's why I got in the habit of just putting them into /system with the default onese.
Successfully cracked the file Bruno Mars - Somewhere In Brooklyn
Note to users: I am not responsible if you wreck your device. If you do this properly, chances of breaking your device is ZERO!
Credits to: motsach89(he shared his tap tap song)
I have cracked this file to run on any android phone.
Tools needed :
1)Root access on phone
2)Root explorer or (any root level access file explorer)
Download this file: http://www.google.com
Then unzip the file into any location
Copy folder brunomars.ttrTheme into [sdcard/android/data/com.tapulous..../files/Themes]
Copy folder inside tracks into [sdcard/android/data/com.tapulous..../files/Tracks]
Lastly, using root explorer, copy the folder in [data/data/com.tapulous..../files/tracks]
This data/data/com.tapulous folder can only be found if you press the "..." in root explorer all the way untill it disappears.( Also known as the parent folder)
Open tap tap and play the song!
Thks to the person who bought and supplied the song. But without cracking, we cannot use it straightaway...
For generous people, please share your songs for others to use. Send me the data file, theme and track so that i can crack it and upload.

Missing xml and info.plist
More to come....
Reserve for later
hello did any1 try it yet? ppl seem to miss this thread...
downloading try asap. XD
cant we use the version of TTR on iphone? they say that we just need to convert a file to xml. (>.<)
nope i think it is unconvertible, the format for the code is different. If you see, iphone has a info.plist but we have xml file, and our info.plist is inside the data/data... at root.
By the way both plist and xml can be renamed in to txt files and edited. I opened the android and the ios ver, i noticed a huge difference in the code. The IOS has a long continuous key while android has many sub keys.
well.. the TTR on android is different from iphone version. the tapping doesnt affect song.
oh yeah. the result.. its working! thanks a lot. hope too see more lists of songs.
actually it is the xml file that contains the taps.
And I would need people to share their songs with me
Enjoy.
Is there any other way without using root?
no warez.
thread closed.
Sooooooo if you own the VZW G2...I KNOW YOU HATE THE POWER ON/OFF SOUNDS JUST AS MUCH AS I DO
Sooooooo I made a couple for my personal use but id thought id spread the wealth lol.
The PowerOn sound byte is the original PS1 system start up
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mu627jjddxo7bz8/PowerOn.ogg
The PowerOff sound byte is from Streets of Rage 2 Round Clear
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dx9iak6d016ctsc/PowerOff.ogg
Instructions
I use Root Explorer but any file browsing app should work for you and follow this path
system/media/audio/ui
Look for PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg
Rename name them to PowerOn.bak and PowerOff.bak
(To have and to hold till death do you part....orrrrr you just so happen to need them later on and rename them back to the original...you choice)
Take you newly downloaded files and Copy/Paste them into the folder and PROFIT!!!!!!!!
It works immediately so feel free to restart the phone and enjoy
THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON THE VZW VARIANT
FEEL FREE TO TEST ON A DIFFERENT VARIANT IF YOU WANT BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU NUKING YOUR PHONE​
Thanks. Worked for me.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4
Finally worked, had to copy + rename and copy again (so I have .bak and .ogg files there)
PS1 sound brings back memories
So in theory if we just rename those files we wont have any sound... right?

Have any other sound files?
Ill try to add more to the OP. Ive been extra busy as of late so ill get to it when I can
Bump so I took OP's idea and expanded it to lock/unlock (the files are in the same location
system/media/audio/ui
Method involves Zedge to get MP3s (c/p to PC) then use VLC to convert to OGG files (c/p to the path above)
Best way to get audio track is to use Zedge, get whatever notification you want (get short one for unlock) then copy file(s) to PC and
open VLC ---> Media ---> Convert/Save ---> Add... (this should open popup) ---> Convert/Save (bottom right next to cancel); this opens new popup ---> under profile select 'Audio - Vorbis (OGG)' then select destination ----> ***MUST IMPORTANT PART*** Change the name to particle_lock or particle_unlock (if you use a different unlock animation then use that name respectively) ---> hit start then c/p to path above on your phone
I recommend changing the original sound files to file extension .bak (like OP recommended) so you can return to normal if something goes wrong etc. Oyeah, the lock sound lasts longer while the unlock is quite short so keep that in mind.
Sorry if I complicated simple thing but hope this helps someone, also all credit to Zei (OP) since this is just an extension of his wonderful MOD.
On my nexus 4 I could create new directories ("Ringtones","Notifications", "Alarms") on my virtual sd card and place tones in there. Then the preference lists for choosing these notification types showed the extra tones.
On the nexus 5 this doesn't seem to happen. Does anyone know of a different way to do this?

I'm getting files show in the preference lists up from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones - however they're just playing a "bong" noise, not the actual mp3.

I'm having the same problem. Any solutions found yet?
all my ringtones and custom notifications are working just fine
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Not working for me either on n4, n5, or the n7 with stock Rom. Worked fine when I used aokp.
The only way I can get it to sort of work now is use rings extended then select es file explorer and naturally navigate to the file. Then it plays fine. They just won't show up to preview them the way it normal did.
It does work I put them in the system audio notification ect folder, but I'm trying too avoid messing with system for the first time.

I got it working. Very frustrating. Initially what i did was download all my notifications and such from dropbox directly to my phone and put them in the correct folders. Rebooted ect and it didn't work. I was told to try plugging my phone into the computer and moving the folders and around and back into the right folder. Then I disconnected from computer then they showed up. I wonder if the media scan isn't working unless you unplug USB? IDK, but it works now.
Sounds silly, but try it.

If the device rooted, you can move the files the /system/media/audio/ringtones, notifications etc. folder. Work like charm!

On my Nexus 4 I had my ringtones in /sdcard/Ringtones and that doesn't work with the Nexus 5. I also tried /sdcard/media/Ringtones and that didn't work either. In both cases I even tried rebooting the phone after putting the mp3 files to hopefully trigger a media scan.
So what would the correct location be?
Thanks in advance,
Bernhard

Now I'm wondering, if it's a problem with the mp3 format of my ringtones. Could you please do me a favor and see, if the ringtone in the attached zip file works for you, when you put it in /sdcard/Ringtones .
Thanks so much,
Bernhard

i downloaded it, AirDroided the mp3 to my phone (default is storage/emulated/0) /notifications, and selected it as my Hangouts sms tone...sent an sms to myself, turned off the screen, and bazinga, it works
when you say /sdcard, do you mean you made that directory via pc, or are you referring to ESFileExplorer (or the like) reporting the directory as /sdcard? on Nexii, '/sdcard' just points to storage/emulated/0 [i think it's something called a simlink, but i don't know what that is]
Works for for me... I use ASTRO File Manager
Notification MP3 went into SD Card > Media > Audio > Notification
Ringtone MP3 went into SD CARD > Ringtone

I am referring to the way ES FileExplorer reports it, so /sdcard/Ringtones is in fact /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones.
Could you please try it with putting it into /sdcard/Ringtones as well and see, if Media Storage shows it as a Ringtone.
No idea, why this doesn't work for me, when it works for others.

sorry mate, I'm not doing it again, the result is going to be exactly the same
After some testing I can confirm this on a NON-ROOTED Nexus 5.
You can place notification sound files in either of these two locations, they work equally well. Note that this post, unlike many is typed with care and shows the EXACT path names from root with proper capitalization. I did not try all the bastardizations but case and plural/singular actually matter a lot of times.
/sdcard/Notifications (/storage/emulated/0/Notifications)
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications (/storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications)
HOW-EVER-ER...
You must move at least 1 file to the directory from your PC before ANYTHING will show up. It seems, and stands to reason, as others noted that moving from the PC while attached as a media device causes Android to rescan the directories. I did not test if you only need to move 1 file on the whole file system or if you have to do it per directory. But by moving one file out and back FROM THE PC all files in those directories became visible in notification pick lists.
I also rebooted after moving the files around. I probably should have checked before since it may not be necessary. But I am so accustomed to rebooting I forgot to test that.
Hope this clears things up.

hey I got the same problem as you
The ringtone is not being picked default media storage and even it picked in some cases im getting the bong sound
so here is the work around
dont use the media storage as default ringtone picker .if you already did that ..go to settings->apps->all apps->media storage and clear defaults of it
then go to settings ->sounds->ringtone and use esfile explorer in this case ..select the ringtone you got using the file browser then it works
another file manager
as said some posts before i suggest to use another file manager than the stock one, it worked for me
I pluged the phone into the computer USB. Cpoied the ringtone of my choice to the ringtone folder. Did the same with the notification ringtone. Go and select the file in Settings...Sound. Mine were .ogg files
Once you install the sound files in the various locations on the sdcard, such as /sdcard/Ringtones, you can update media storage by doing either of the following:
Go to settings -> apps -> all -> media storage and clear data, then reboot
Or
Use the app ScanMedia to update
I usually like to listen to music while playing games on my phone but the sounds from the game keeping ruining it. So i have been looking over the internet for this for quite some time now. Finally found a way.
Note: this can also be used to change the sound files to your songs choice..
No need of any coding knowledge or any extra application/software except for a file manager.
I am using ES File explorer.
Here goes
Goto /data/app
Find your app or game you want to remove sounds from
Copy the apk file to some place else on the sdcard or just create a backup
Goto the backup/copied file
Rename it from abcd.apk to abcd.zip
Open it( your file explorer should do it otherwise use RAR for andtoid app)
Goto assets/ (This is where the sound files are usually stored.. Dig a little deep if you have to. The folder will usually clearly say "Sound" or "Audio")
Delete it
Go back and rename abcd.zip to abcd.apk
Uninstall the previous version and install the new apk
Note: This is more of a permanent thing and will be useful if you dont like the audio of a game but it is still not the solution i really wanted. I wanted to be able to just disable the sound accessability of an app temporarily at my own discretion. So if anyone has the answer to that. Iam all ears.
Most games have a Sound setting in the game menu...
