MGS codec unlock sounds

i am working on trying to figure out how to make my phone lock and unlock like the mgs codec. i have got the files on the phone and it works but is way to loud. i have attached the files i used if someone with more audio editing experince wants to take a crack at it.
the files have to be in .ogg format and be labeled Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. i used advanced wma workshop to convert the files from mp3.
to put them on your phone if anyone wants this
1 reboot into recovery
2 mount /system
3 open cmd and nav to your sdk/tools folder
4 pull system/media/audio/ui (this will backup the files before you replace them)
5 copy the backed up ogg files from your sdk/tools folder to another safe location and put the modified ogg files into the sdk/tools folder
6 push Lock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
7 push Unlock.ogg system/media/audio/ui
8 unmount /system and reboot
also if anyone does do this could someone upload the backed up files for me i didn't think about doin the pull till i wrote this up and i don't feel like doing a nandroid restore to get them back.
edit my buddy confirmed that i had these backwards i guess that is what i get for not listening to the files first. i reuploaded with correct file names

what if you just took the audio files and decreased the volume of the actual file?

using audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
i used the amplify effect and dropped both ogg files down some
seems to be where i want the sound at, but you can use audacity (which is free btw) to drop it more if you want
http://www.mediafire.com/?etknj3uiv55ql99
fwiw you can adb push these while the phone is running if you adb remount before it (need s-off)

so i tried this through the mount/system through clockmod and was able to push this files but it will not switch to the files i pushed, just uses the system defaults any suggestions? im thinking of just overwritting the rom zip with the new zip sounds and reflashing sounds good?

I used root explorer and just put the files in the system/media/audio/UI and did a restart and it worked.

right on ill give that a try

hey I used rootexplorer as well but i have a question because it does appear to be working. so did you MOVE or COPY all the files (mp3 + ogg) into the UI folder? It does not show up.

i firsted removed the defaults and moved the new files works like a charm but for some strange reason the two sounds merge when i lock phone and the unlock works great not sure whats up may restore originals and try again but first attempt worked fine with the deleting and moveing, i was adding a boot animation and before i knew it both play? no biggie really they overlap each other so its not some drawn out tone

Make sure you did not put the .mp3 and .ogg file in the same place just the .ogg

[Q] Changing boot animation screen on BAMF Forever 1.0.6

I want this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010748&highlight=Bios+animation
Where is my boot animation located on my SD card?
Help appreciated!

It is under /system/media/bootanimation.zip
You won't find it on your SDcard. You'll need an app like Root Explorer to access the file system.
You could also use ADB to push the files there if you're familiar with ADB.

dont have that.. i replace the ones in Bamf_Extras.. but it didnt work

Are you familiar with ADB?

honestly, no. I one click rooted. what can I do?

can i push using clockwork recovery?

I believe there is a free alternative to Root Explorer in Super Manager. It contains File Explorer (Root). It may allow you to copy the bootanimation.zip and mp3 file into the directory. I also am unsure if it will let you set the correct permissions on the files once they are copied. It may be something you can try.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
I went ahead and installed Super Manager. It will allow you to do what you need. You'll find the permissions button on the bottom menu bar if you scroll to the right.

You dont need any apps to do it for you, the bootanimation is in system/customize/resource folder you name it the name as the one in the folder and copy over it. Most if not all the developers name it bootanimation.zip the default Verizon is named VZW_bootanimation.zip I have helped people add sound to their boot animations as well this can be edited in the system/customize/CID folder in the file default. Must be edited with notepad++ or wordpad++ its one of those look near the bottom of the file for boot animation. I have become quite good at doing this by breaking it and fixing it. Things like this need to be learned the hard way.

The correct file path is for BAMF Forever 1.0.6 is system/media/bootanimation.zip
There is also an audio file that you can replace in the same location.

I edited my CID file so it where I want it to be. I am used to default setting. Also you can copy over audio but you still need to change desc file and CID so it starts with correct animation. Should I roll my eyes back? Plus I never even said anything about BAMF forever....

I assumed you were attempting to address the original posters questions about changing his boot animation on BAMF Forever 1.0.6. I didn't understand that you were merely randomly posting about how you like to edit this and that. You can roll your eyes back now!

[MOD] 13 Toggle quick panel

Just wanted to confirm that the mod for the 14 and 12 toggle quick panels found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295965
work for the skyrocket. Just follow the instructions for rooted stock odexed ROMS.

Thanks! Just did this and everything seems to work fine.
Note that this also replaces AT&T's 4G icon with LTE and up/down arrows in the status bar.

Worked fine. Kept getting a FC though upon replacing the systemui file so I'd recommend people do that last and then quickly rename the .odex file and reboot. Either way, upon reboot all was good.

Sucess! Nice!

Need some help here, did you guys flash the mods via ,cwm, then you used root explorer to move the files? Or you just moved the files and renamed them and rebooted? Thanks in advanced...

Just extract the files and move them to the appropriate folders with root explorer, then reboot. No CWM needed

Hopefully it replaces it with another LTE icon and not a 3.5G one?

Just to report on my findings...
The mod worked well but I did find one discrepancy. When connecting a USB cable to the device and choosing "USB mass storage" the Green Droid that's usually there now is not there. It just says "Connect USB storage" in gray and underneath that it says "Set" in white. This "Set" dialogue is just that and not a button.
Can anyone else confirm this same result? Or did I do something wrong?
---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------
Tried to push the files again... same result. Not a huge deal but really wondering if anyone is experiencing this. I'm on rooted stock.

Anyone? Or else how can I go back to stock?

Hm, you're right. I didn't notice this because I haven't connected it to the computer since I applied it. It seems that this disables all USB connections to your computer accept for allowing you to access the internal and external sd cards. This also seems to only do this in USB debug mode. Taking it out of USB debug mode will only let it charge when plugged into the computer.
Did you backup the files that the new ones replaced? Just take out the new files and put the old files back and reboot.

It replaces it with LTE and it also switches to H+ when you have 3.5G signal only.

Nandroid backups are your friend friend

I renamed the file as specified in the directions but I did not back it up. I renamed systemui.odex to systemui.odex.Bak. Can I use that .Bak file? If not, would you mind attaching your backup file? I'd like to go back to the stock if possible.
ALSO... when toggling Airplane Mode I see a code at the top of the pull down menu. It says "Via %1$s". Does anyone else get the same result?
Thanks in advance. And yes I am an idiot for not backing the file up.

Yes you can rename the systemui.odex.Bak back to systemui.odex but I think you need the original systemui.apk as well.
I also get the "Via %1$s" text as well.

Would someone be kind enough to attach the original systemui.apk to this thread? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Here you go. Delete the new files you put on there, rename the systemui.odex.Bak back to systemui.odex, reboot, and you should be good to go...hopefully.

I used the "THANKS" button but I really did want to actually say thank you. It worked. There was a little drama during the process but ultimately it worked.
Just for anyone else reading this post, know that when I deleted the lidroid-res.apk (which I deleted first), process after process crashed. The phone was pretty much useless. I rebooted and then was able to rename the the systemui.odex.Bak back to systemui.odex. I pasted the SystemUI.apk, deleted the QuickPanelSettings.apk, rebooted, and now everything seems back to the way it was before the mod.
Lessons learned:
1) Don't 'just' take someone's word for it that a mod is gonna work without a little proof and research.
2) Nandroid backups ARE your friend
3) People here on xda rock.

You're welcome

If you're moving it manually you don't need to do anything with any files in the META-INF. Those are used when flashing the .zip via CWM (which doesn't work for the skyrocket). Just move over the 2-3 files, reboot, and you should be good.

Trying to apply UI sounds "help"

So I heard from another post to use adb. So I'm new to that. Anyone wanna help me on how to download it. let me know. I have jdk tools and I have the sdk. Im a little new like I said. So where would be best to download and extract it to. Anyway. I wanna change the UI sound for the effect tick. But when I copied this ogg file into UI folder in for effect. I put the original effect tick ogg file in one folder outside of the UI folder and put the new one. Well the file I wanted to use and renamed it to the exact file name as the original effect tick. And it's silent. So then I downloaded this effect tick file someone uhploaded on another forum and put it n the UI folder. The only effect tick file. And it's silent. So about adb? How can I use that to transfer and substitute. Please anyone let me know. I wanna do this!

1. Copy the file you want into ui (maybe even mp3)
2. Reboot (make sure media scanner runs)

Default SGS3 sounds & ringtones download?

Anyone still on stock care to upload them, or have a link where they're already uploaded?
Some are strongly against them, but I love them. I'd much rather wake up to a soft acoustic piano, then some annoying/loud alarm.

funny, the first thing I did was go and find a "real" ringtone....
This place doesn't have the S3 yet, but they have quite a few others..

I was just thinking about that when considering moving to a new rom soon. I sort of like the stock notifications, the whistle when I get an e-mail is nice.

Thank you.
Is it flashable through recovery, or does it need to be manually placed in a folder. If the latter, what folder(s) do the files need to go into, I'm guessing in /system somewhere?
UPDATE: NM, found where it goes, in media/audio, it doesn't look like a flashable zip.

Download zedge from play store and get all u can imagine

No, it's not a flashable zip. I should have said that. You would need to copy these into /system/media to work. You might also need to change the permissions on them to get them to work. I copied one sound to another folder (I wanted to use it as an alarm), and I needed to change the permissions to RW to do so.

http://db.tt/ar1GZz61
Here also is a link to a zip of the whole audio folder from a stock SGSIII on verizon.
Just got it two days ago, and had a chance to do an adb pull of the device earlier today.
I remembered seeing this thread yesterday, so made the zip of the folder in linux earlier, just got on lunch and upped it to dropbox.
I see someone else already has it up, but, figured i'd share it anyway as another copy. Also not flashable, just a zip of the folder itself.
Sent from a digital distance.

both links are dead.... does anyone still have these to share? been looking all over for them
Edit: just copied them from system/media to the SD card using Astro
