[Q] How can I extract the new Facebook Messenger notification sound? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
The new Facebook Messenger (the UI overaul version), introduced a nice new notification sound for incoming messages. I was interested in extracting the sound from the app but I can't find it anywhere in a File Explorer.
FYI - I'm using Stock 4.4 Nexus 5 out of the box.
I am not talking about the "Facebook-pop.mp4". The newest version of the app introduced a newer sounding noise. It almost sounds like a water droplet.
Anyone have any idea how to get it?

Bump? anyone have any idea?

Root it, pull the app from data/app/, open the apk and pull the sound? If you really don't want to root though (come on, this is a nexus and you are on XDA ) I might get a chance to do this tomorrow if no one else will.
Edit: actually, you could download the apk from online and then copy the sound?

I don't use Facebook Messenger but I'm bored and I figured I'd try to help anyway so I installed it.
From Rom Toolbox's root browser, I found the sounds in "data\app\com.facebook.orca-1.apk\res\raw\"
I'm attaching a screenshot with a list of the filenames.

Got it!: new_message.ogg

edit: I used BetterZip for Mac and it opened the APK in a very neat way!

Any chance someone would reupload those sounds somewhere ?

I use Messenger all the time, the standard version and I never got a UI updated version and it still has that "pop" sound. What version is your app? Or is it a different Messenger version?
EDIT: turns out this thread was just bumped and its over a year old. Never mind.

Does anyone have the notification sound that can be found in the Facebook Messenger app now? Some of them are really nice and I would really like to use them for other apps!
Thanks in advance!

hey, i know its a different phone but i can't seem to find anyone doing this for Galaxy S6 edge - i want a sound from the new facebook messenger too called "whistle" but i'm a little too scared to root my phone just for that,.... any help will be appreciated? sorry again for posting here on old thread and on different phone lol but you seem like a helpful person

I did a zip of all of my notification sounds. You'll be able to find the "whistle"-one in the file.
I hope is't ok to share this link, message me if you can't download it for some reason!

I have no problem downloading?
Anyone else?
Is there any other site to upload to?

It always gives me a 7,85 kb zip. Both with Chrome and ES Downloader. Maybe zippyshare? It's pretty reliable and fast.

Twitter Notification Sound File o__0

The official Twitter app used to come with a custom notification sound file called Tweeters. Though on my recent installs of the Twitter app the sound file is not present in my memory card or in the app. I believe Twitter may have taken out the sound. Does anyone have this notification file still, if so I'd love to have it. It was very useful.

[APP] IM Beejive Beta

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since it's a direct link from beejive.com, I think it should be? I'm not actually in the beta.
http://beejive.com/android/beta/BeejiveIM.apk
If not, can a mod please delete the thread? Thanks
I might give it a try. I don't IM much these days but it's still nice to have a good client there for when you need it..
ATM i'm using the official msn messenger for android (without ads mod).
Do msn have official apps on android? What the name of the app?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It's called MSN Droid.
Edit: Actually I'm not too sure if that's the official app, sorry.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
still in beta and the UI is pretty good.
yet the function is rather poor.
No it's not msn droid.
It's official msn, but developed by PICA (chinese company http://www.pica.com/)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/messenger_cbpe.html
I'm don't think it's available in english market, so heres a link to the apk (it is a free app, not warez) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BALZ1U08
It is modified to remove ads (the official one has ads >_<)

Need to hide app icon in notification bar, its truly annoying.
needs work but pretty good so far...will be paying for it once it becomes available...
Nice
Seems to work pretty good. I like the ease. It does appear to be on all the time though but I've not seen a significant battery drop to warrant removing it. Really wish they would have opened the beta up for more people, I hated just downloading it but not being able to participate in bug posting.
Actually you can participate, Maybe not bugs, but fatal errors that cause the app to crash you can send email logs of when the app crashed directly to them. After the app has a force close it will ask you if you want to send the log when the app crashed to them by e-mail.

You have to rename the file to change it to .apk file. (at the moment it's named BejiveIM.apk.zip)
If you have file extensions hidden then unhide them and remove the .zip and save.
I was getting a "Timedout" and then "no client key" yesterday but the app started to work again late last night. I'm not too sure I like the size of the icon like others have said, but I do like its the most stable out of the clients I've tried without draining my battery.... much.
Palringo is way better

Agree! Reason I uninstalled after a few hours. Besides that the app icon seems larger than any of the others I have. But not being able to disable the icon in the notification bar is extremely annoying!!

Hi, Thanks for posting this. I used to use it on my Berry all the time . . . I installed it from your link & imo it's the best IM client out there so far & still Beta lol! The feature that lets you email the conversation or post to twitter is sic ;-)
I'll definitely be buying this app soon as it's out officially.
yeah this app isnt bad at all, it seems close to trillian it will come down to 5 things...
-features
-batterylife
-speed/lag between IMs
-reliable connection
-price (seems like trillian will be free)

[APP]Facebook Messenger

The facebook messenger that is anticipated by social junkies is finally here!
However it is not released officially on SE devices so I've decided to post the apk here.
To install just put the apk into your sd card and use a file explorer to find and run it. It worked on my X10.
Thanx ill try it....
can we have the update pls?
i love this app but how do you update it
thanks for the app
I guess we will be able to update the app once the app is available for our respective country
Or if someone post the new updated apk lol

Every friend of mine is on FB so I don't need any other messenger, so it is useful for me.. Why to use third party when the original developers are providing you a messenger...
Also few of my friends asked me how a mobile icon is appearing in place of a green online status indicator..
This is because I use the FB mobile messenger, it is not officially available yet for my country and so most people don't know about it lol

Aslamixer..... Does it work?

I am trying to increase the volume of my S3 over bluetooth (especially with doggcatcher). I understand Aslamixer should help with the volume but I am clueless about how to do it (or if there is something going else that will do it). Thanks!

You should install it and see if it works. That's the only way to tell as nobody knows right now.

Installed the .apk by clicking it or placing it in the /system/app/ folder?
If you placed it in the app folder with the other file reboot the phone and see if it recognizes it and works.

I installed it from the play store, ran it (which installed some additional files), and then opened it. Now I have a huge list of items, but no idea what any of them mean or what they do.

Couldn't help you there. I use Handcent SMS Pro Beta. I also buy their yearly subscriptions for $9.99. I can send out a text list and the schedule them to send if I want to send them at a certain time. IT has many options. If you do decide to use Handcent go to your applications>All and disable Messaging to turn of the stock application or you will get double alerts.

He isn't asking about a messaging app. OP is talking about boosting his BT audio.
@op - Have you tried the Viper4Audio mod? I used this for my earbuds and BT connection for my car audio. It makes a huge difference. There is a link for it under the S3 apps and theme section.
The Synergy custom ROM and probably many others have options for boosting audio playback on headphones and bluetooth, which I think is what you are asking. its not really clear what you are seeking, but it you mean media playback on A2DP on bluetooth, then ramble over the the development section.

[Q] Facebook Messenger Audio Files: Where?

Quickly: I have a new phone and I cannot, for the life of me, find the notification audio files for Facebook Messenger. Can anyone point me to them?
Details: I'm rooted, technically proficient. I've been all over the file system and I can't find these files.
The story: On my last phone I found the files, and replaced a couple of their awful ringtones with my own awesome ones, and the world was a glorious place filled with flowers and rainbows. On the new phone I cannot find these files, and I'm out of ideas.
Suggestions are welcomed, except "Download Zedge".
They are not stored on Your device. They remain on Facebook's Domain.
Try playing them offline some time. They won't play.

Haha, I wondered about our respective sanity after your first response.
I know those files existed in earlier versions, and I suspect they still do because my old phone was fully up to date, and still had my custom ringtones. It's driving me mad that I can't find them.
Please do let me know if you find them. Thanks for looking!
I've been digging, and it seems like these files are stored in the .APK until they're needed, in /res/raw. I replaced one of the .m4a files in the APK, and it seems to confirm this hypothesis, however rather than playing the new sound when selected in Messenger, it is simply silent.
And then, upon a reboot, it seems Messenger is not installed. I'm not sure what this means - do I need to re-sign the APK after changing the .m4a file? (I'm repeating phrases off the web now! Getting out of my depth, yay!)
The efforts continue. Advice still accepted. =)
Update: replaced one .m4a file, re-signed the APK using Easy APK Disassembler and installed it on my phone. It all worked, the app works, but selecting the changed sound plays only silence, not the sound I added. Sooo... Still sort of nowhere, I guess.
