Disclaimer…
In no way should this be considered safe. While it’s fairly straight forward…messing with ANY system files could result in bootloops, lost sounds, World Wars, or complete device destruction. You’ve already rooted your phone…so you should be able to handle this but please don’t hold me liable if your device does turn into an expensive brick.
What you will need…
Your favorite root explorer (I use Solid Explorer Pro).
UI Sounds (I found a pack of royalty free UI Sounds from Narfstuff http://www.narfstuff.co.uk/2009/09/13/royalty-free-ui-sound-pack-now-free/)
Steps…
Fire up your root explorer app and navigate to system/media/audio/ui.
Locate TW_Touch.ogg file.
Instead of backing up the file I just copied it and then pasted it back into the same folder and renamed the copy to TW_Touch_OLD.ogg.
Navigate back to your SD Card and create a folder where you can manage your new sounds…copy any of the sounds you would like to use to replace the screen touch sound with here (if you are using the UI pack I provided just extract the .zip and then copy the sounds you want to use into your newly created folder).
Once you have identified the sound you want to use you will want to rename it to the original file name…TW_Touch.ogg. (Please note that the sounds I provided are not in .ogg format! You must RENAME THE FILE/EXTENSION to TW_Touch.ogg! Don’t forget the .ogg part!
Once the file has been renamed to TW_Touch.ogg copy the file.
Now browse back to system/media/audio/ui and PASTE the file into the UI folder. Your root explorer should give you the option to OVERWRITE…this is what you’ll want to do.
Once the file has been overwritten reboot your phone and enjoy not having to hear your significant other complain about the “water drop” noise while using your Note 3 in bed.
Please note!
This method can be used to replace any system UI sounds you’d like…obviously you will just need to rename files. Just be extremely careful! See disclaimer at the top of this post for further information.

This seems almost too good to be true. The reviews for that USC app are pretty dismal. Have you had any experience using the actual app yet?
I want to change sounds of unlocking and locking the phone as well. Hopefully this works.

Great write up! I changed all my touch sounds to Effect_Tic.ogg and its a nice soft tic noise instead of the standard tw noise. If you want to change the hard button sounds (menu and back) you have to replace the S_HW_Touch.ogg file to the sound of your preference.

Gotta put the lightsaber sounds back on my stylus. I did alot of this stuff on my other phones. Try using an actual submarine nuclear alert sound as power_on if you want to make the wife happy.
Edit- I moved some stuff off of my sd card to the pc, I'll see if I saved my sounds file and share a couple.
Meanwhile here's a free online converter if you want to convert to .ogg. I used ringtone maker to take parts of songs and clip them, then convert to .ogg to yse as a system sound. Use your imagination, this can be fun.
There's also an AT&T site that will convert what you type into spoken word in several different accents, for awhile my power off was a girl saying "commence shutdown protocol" with a french accent.

You need a file browser. Something like es file explorer works good. Then in settings of that app turn on root explorer and mount system as writable. You must be rooted for four this to work

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.

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...

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.
this is my better bootsound for DESIRE DESIRE HD.
also all others can use this ass well!
comment!
what do you think of this,
mod modded by me.i made droid sound more droidish,more robotish
Cool! Kinda reminds me of the sci-fi movies and cartoons I watched as a kid in the 80s.
Might give these a try if I get bored of R2D2 bootsound.
PS - I think this thread should be moved to the Themes and Apps section
How do we install this ?, through recovery ?, I have CWM 3.0.0.5, thanks.
Edit: never mind its not a installable zip.
replace android_audip.mp3 with mod, rename mos to same name as the original bootsound name! im so hppy for posotive replies! thank you!!

I might try r2d2wstl.mp3 though as it's more subtle and wont annoy everyone at work so much!
I'm also thinking a shotgun blast with reload might make for a pretty cool bootsound. I'll maybe have look for a decent wav or mp3 of it one day.

where do we get to that file ? and how do we get to it ?
Use something like Root Explorer to copy it into /data/local/
im really confused i dno what to change the file name to coz i had the boot up sound somehow deleted all i wana kno is that do we place it into local and what do we change the name to lol
ok i GOT IT lool sorry for the B*LLSH*T question
you can read threads about this, in XDA here. need a rooted phone,u need find infp hpw to do this, i dont know for sure, i just make sounds.
if any reguest on any sounds, tell me! ill make one!
relace in system customization recource android_startup.mp3. soehing like this!
read info, search, im not sure abot how to do it, and do not want to give wrong information.
I'm not sure if it's the same for all Desire HD roms but I know for Android Revolution HD the start-up sound goes in \data\local\
The folder \system\customize\resource is for HTC wallpapers and themes.
The easiest way to put android_startup.mp3 into \data\local\ is with something like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with root access enabled).
As you say, you need to be rooted in the 1st place to be able to do any of this. If anyone is unsure how to root etc then there are lots of good guides in this section of the forum.
Anyway, I have attached a couple of Mario sounds. They're in .wav format but will be easy to convert to .mp3 with a free program like Audacity. If I get the chance when I get home I will convert them and re-attach.
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but adb pushing a file to /data/local did not work. Any ideas? A good, free, file explorer that would let me do that, perhaps?
EDIT- Found a file explorer. Still isn't working.
EDIT 2- Tried a different sound. Acted like it was trying to play it (heard tiny buzz) but nothing actually distinguishable as "DROOOOID".
Sorry. i shoulda work on new material.
goos Xmas to all ya.

After you put it in the correct folder did you make sure you set the correct permissions? I did this and it took me a while to figure that out. You have to have every box checked except for the three on the bottom, I forget what they say. If that doesn't work I'm not sure.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
here you go the file it is suppose to go in is /system/customize/resource/ because it is a att sense stock rooted rom.
and what are the permission setting and how do i set them.
I just took a look at your file and I found your problems. I will redo your text file and check if it will work with the current image frames which I don't think it will. I will let you know after I test it.
Ok, try this first. Use this naming method for all of your files. An example would be "bootanim_480x800_00000", "bootanim_480x800_00001", and so on. Always start with 00000 and it goes up from there and the second folder would continue where the first one left off. The first part is not important as to what name you use. It could be "bootanim" or "Joe" or whatever. The other parts are important. Leave them as they are except of course the numbers for the frames are changing just like you have now. The second problem is that you are trying to run this at 7 fps and the phone does not know how to read that. It likes 15fps, 24fps, and 30fps. You are going to have to add more frames to your animation because it will be too fast as is. Easiest way without creating new images would be to double the sets and add one extra so that you can come out with 15 frames per second. Also just to make sure, when you add this to a zip file named ATT_bootanimation, make sure you are not using any compression. Use a program such as 7_zip and when you make this into a zip file set the compression to "Store". I have rezipped your file and included a new text document already inside of the zip file and as an extra. You should just need to rename and create more frames now. (As far as what myphoneisbroken was referring to, I am not sure. He may have meant to make sure to use a program such as Root Explorer which would have root access to write to system folders. If that is not what he meant then he would have to elaborate a little more.)
Ok ill rename them all and how many frames do you. suggest I make
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well that depends on how smooth you want it to play. It will take a bit of experimentation on your part. If you go for 15fps to keep the image count down then you are just going to have to check your timing. If your animation played out smoothly before, just remember you have two seconds of animation as it stands right now before you get to the boot loop. You may want to do at least 3 to 4 or even more seconds depending on how fast it plays through. Just watch the total size of the file so that it does not grow too large. Even the smoothest animation may not always play out on the phone perfectly because the phone is loading stuff and sometimes causes it to stutter. The easy way would be to simply double each of your images, but again, you have to experiment and see what looks the best. You may have to create the inbetweens.
Ok I renamed the pictures to what you said iput it in the boot folder and when it boots up it skips folder part0 and goes looping part1
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Something has to be wrong with a part of the name or something in the first folder if it is only showing the second part. The text document is correct and was tested. If it was incorrect you would have a black screen again. Re post your file and I will look at it again.
yeah sorry but here you go and thanks ( i also hit the button)
I got the revised file and I am going through it now.
Edit: You are correct. Only the second part is playing even though everything looks correct in the first folder. I am going through each image to see if I can find the problem.
Edit # 2: I believe I found the problem. I am re doing your images and will test to make sure it works. I will let you know what the outcome is in a while.
Ok thanks can you please give a description of what it is your doing so I don't have any problems next time I make a bootanimation, and sorry for not pressing the thanks button as you can probably tell I'm doing this on my phone most of the time and I can't find the thanks button on here (if there is one)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I understand, it was just a hint for the future. As far as the images go, the first folder was not in the correct RGB color mode, (second folder was) so I am re doing them now and I will test when I finish with them to make sure it works.
It works. Attached is your boot animation. Enjoy. (I re saved all of the images in the correct format just to make sure they were all good. Everything should be fine now.) Out of curiosity, what program did you use to make these? Was it Photoshop, paint, or something else?
Thanks for the help ill hit the button when I get on a computer and the program I used for the pictures was paint.net I'm to young to buy PhotoShop
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
That's fine. I am happy I was able to help you get it working. I asked about the program because I only use PS and other programs like it so I was guessing that something had gone wrong and that it was probably with a program like Paint. Everything comes with time. Keep working at it. It plays out fast because there is only two seconds of animation there. An easy thing you could do which would be a little bit of a pain is to make copies of each image so that there are doubles and then re number all of them. It would play out a bit slower then. Good luck.

Great suggestion! However, I keep getting Chinese as the default language in the themes. Did you have this problem? If so, how did you fix it? If not wth am I doing wrong?

You can do it, but it's kind of a bear to do... What you need to do is to copy the MTZ files from the MIUI folder of your SD card to your computer. Next, extract the MTZ's with 7Zip and scan all of the XML files for Chinese. Next, go to Google Translate and translate the text, then replace the Chinese with English. Once you've got all the Chinese translated, use 7Zip to repack everything as an MTZ again. DO NOT alter the naming of any of the files!!
Place the repacked MTZ files back into the MIUI folder of your phone's SD card, overwriting the existing files.
Boom. English.

Now the real question... can you get this to work with NoLED? If so, how?

P.S. You can install a ton of themes that are English from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
Wow. Thats a lot of work. I just used the ones from the lockscreen thread and just manually put in sd card folder. Some didnt work. Others worked perfectly.
This is an awesome, "must have" app. I have a small annoyance though and maybe you can help. Upon restart, the default lockscreen is the one used until I open milocker. Anyway around this?
I am using infinityROM 12/11 w/TSM
thanks for the info KarateExplosion6...well, might as well try it once and see what happens...
Hi!
I've downloaded a few themes from the link above and they don't seem to work for me... I've downloaded, extracted (if zipped) and moved the into the /MIUI/themes folder. Application shows them properly but, after aplying them, I just see my screen background instead of the lockscreen. What could I be doing wrong?

There were a handful that unfortunately didn't work for me but about 75% of them worked fine.
However I also just did the google translate to a few downloaded from the app and it was actually quite simple.
Just an fyi I think the screen size effects the lock screens you can use on your phone. I think that might be the problem.

I just had the same problem with my Droid 3 (thought it was just my phone/rom).
So did a bit of comparison between the themes from the Miui thread and the themes downloaded with MiLocker.
It seems that there is a folder in the Miui themes called 'lockscreen' which shouldn't be a folder...but instead should be a zip file without the zip extension for it to work with MiLocker.
So what I did was take the folder called 'advance' inside the 'lockscreen' folder and made it into a zip file (lockscreen.zip). Then I renamed it to remove the '.zip' extension. I deleted the 'lockscreen' folder from the .mtz file, dragged this file into the .mtz theme file and voila! The theme works!
Hopefully this will bring joy to some people.

Thanks for posting this since I'm sure people where confused as to why some themes worked and some didn't. For people that want to know why this is done, here's why:
Afaik, there are two reasons that the lockscreen folder is left as a folder and not already zipped with the extension removed. First, and mainly why, it is because the actual MIUI theme engine (which MiLocker is based on but not the same) will actually do all the work for you and convert the lockscreen folder to the correct format. The MIUI lockscreen thread was meant for people using MIUI and don't take into consideration people that just use MiLocker. Second, by leaving lockscreen as a folder it makes things a bit easier and faster for people to do their own customizations to the theme/lockscreen by just having to unzip one file rather than two.
Man I miss MIUI, so easy to theme .
I do like MiLocker but man it's been frustrating for me on my UK T Mobile stock 2.3.3 SGS2.
At first I wanted 1) a decent looking theme 2) with a camera shortcut and 3) music widget/player thing.
You don't know how hard it is to find these! Well from the official in app availible themes anyways.
*Even then with the music player, it's weird, as to activate it you have to click on a certain part of the lock (varies for each one).
When I finally found several I discovered 2 major major flaws. Can you guys try this and not/say it's just me?!
Play some music then lock the screen and now try to raise the volume.
For me using the physical volume buttons,
1) the screen turns on.
2) it only changes the volume by one (higher or lower).
How annoying is that?! Is this a problem with my phone or settings?

^Try tried some of the pretty themes from the other thread and oh man they are so nice but I still have the same problem!
So anyone got time to help me out here or confirm they get the same results as me?
Thanks if you can help!

Trying to follow your guide but confused...
1. If you zip 'advance' surely it becomes 'advance.zip' and not 'lockscreen.zip'?
2. What did you rename it to and with what extension?
3. The theme I have is zipped - do I change this to .mtz and is this then where you deleted the 'lockscreen' folder from?
Update: this is the theme which has me stumped http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=642540&d=1309491017
I have extracted it but there's no .mtz in there...?
How's everybody's battery react to using this app? Does your phone enter sleep the same frequency as the stock lock screen?
I always feel like I am getting a little bit of an extra drain, but after doing comparisons I think it is just in my head....battery drain paranoia.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
i'd hate to beat a dead horse and spam but can you guys look at my problem too?
regarding battery drain i don't notice that much of an issue. i think there may be some but not really something that should be major.

The one I am using does turn the screen on but I can move the volume up and down with ease (more than one notch) throw me a link to one of the thees you are using and I will throw it on my Charge to see whats up
^Hey cheers for the reply but no need now!
In 1.3 they've fixed and acknowledged it was a problem.
"What's in this version:
(Feb.10, 2012,Version 1.3)
Support Android 4.0.
Support pattern password unlocking(need to enable "lock home key" in setting).
Support media keys.
Support volume key adjusting while playing music.
Fix some one-key lock related bugs on certain device models."
The screen still turns on though but that's something I guess I can live with. Cheers!
dead after reboot
I shutdown my phone over night with MIUI Locker installed and working. Started my phone this morning... no lockscreen. Enabled/disabled Miui Locker and it worked. had to kill the app properly between enable/disable but it worked.
Fix to make it work after reboot? I'm on CM7.2

oke i found it, now i see default notification, message, calendar and email. But now i'm stuck, i don't find how to use a personal sound. All the sounds are from HTC and when i click get more i'm automatically redirected to "notifications from htc hub".
grtz and thanks for the reply
Dude...
Use a file explorer, navigate to your sound files location, long press it and select "use as notification" or something like that. From now on it will be also in your sound list (personalize etc...)

Use file explorer with root and copy the mp3 you want to system/media/audio/notifications reboot the phone and you will see that your copied file is now there to be selected under default notifications/messages .
