[Q] Replacing volume adjust beep - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi community,
for quite a while I've been trying to find info on how to replace the volume adjust beep. Not disable (that I know how to do ) but replace with something pleasant like a tick or a pop or whatever. This is one thing that I really would like to do. Don't shoot me but Apple has done this better, I have to be honest.
The android beep is like something from a 90s PC without sound card

Replying only because I too would like a solution. I read about an app called Ultimate Sound Control and apparently the Pro version (now removed from Play Store ) was capable of doing this.

I'm assuming it's compiled in an apk but not found it yet

Any application that can read SMS' out loud (possibly through a bluetooth device?)??

I wanted an application that could do this but all I could find was the one from blueAnt which only works with their specific bluetooth device...
You could use Tasker and use this profile - price looks high but it's VERY powerful once you know what you're doing.
Comes with a trial mode for around seven days.
+1 for Tasker. Brilliant app.
I have my 'in car' profile set to read texts - on text receipt it pauses the music player, then reads the senders contact name, and then the body of the text. Awesome.
i was planning on getting the blueant Q1 (just found it for $25). are you saying it won't work with handcent in reading a txt message?
edit: forget it...answered my own question by going to their site. "Hear text messages read aloud on your Q1 when connected to an Android device with our Android application."
What about the vlingo application. It has an email and sms reader that reads the message out loud when activated, but I haven't managed to get it to read the message through the Bluetooth headset

Wondering why SayMyName hasn't been mentioned yet... works fantastic even with caller names, mail, Twitter etc.

SMS Speak
Just stumbled across this thread looking for something else. But thought I'd chime in. I use SMS Speak (the paid one, not the free one - two different companies/products), and it works great. I can get incoming texts and reply, all orally. I'm curious about the other products mentioned, though...

Did you accidentally put your phone in driving mode or change a setting for something like that?

Ringtone suggestions?

I want a ringtone that's unique, maybe something from a video game that isn't heard often. IE: Metal Gear codec ring.
I tried the sonic drowning countdown, but it just isn't doing it for me. Just doesn't sound right as a ringtone.
Any suggestions?

I'm going to be a really pedantic fu**er right now.
Dictionary definition of the word 'Unique';-
Being the only one of its kind

Therefore the only way you will ever get a truly unique ringtone is if you record a noise or tune that you have created or written and ensure that nobody else is ever able to copy it.
Failing that, just think about what you actually do want, go and search for it (try SoundCloud for some ideas that you can possibly copy out) and decide what you like.
OP, post your request here or just monitor this thread maybe you can find what your looking for...
There are apps, that allow you to make your own, check the GPlay Market, Thank you and Thread closed.

Possible revolutionary feature idea!

So I have pitched this to a few of the major android ROM makers on this site but I have yet to find anyone that says they have the know how to create my idea.
Well you know how you can select a custom picture and ringtone for people in your contact list? Well what if you could select a custom 15 sec video clip?
Abilities
- Custom clip from phone or internet video
-15 sec limit like ringtones
- Interchangeable sound, (Original video sound, or custom ringtone)
- Retain the Answer/Decline/Number/Name Overlay
- On cal will come up and play in loop until answer or decline
- On call pick up stop and phone operate as normal
What do ya'll think? Anyone have the know how to program something like this? I honestly think this could be the new big thing.

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.

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.
another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?
An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

would you write an app that can easily change the user account.. like the one in nexus 7 (android 4.3).. because my rom would allow me to create user profile but its kind of troublesome to change user.. i have search many thread for this kind of app... thank you
Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.
I'm trying to make one myself but can't figure it out.
I want an app that tests the functionality of the phone and tells you what works, what diesnt and what is missing

i was planning on making an app called Floating Dock, it was a redesigned mac OSX doc for android, on the home screen the dock would be there, but anywhere else to access the dock you needed to slide up, but i dont have the time to make it, i actually only finished the dock icon so if you would like you could continue that?

Hello Dear
I am wordering to have an app like Super BT Hack (For S60V3) through which you can read others sms, contacts and make the others phone ring via BT. Is there any app existing with such capabilities. If yes then name it and if not please develop it because it is a very good tool to keep an eye on the activities of your loved ones.

How about an app that modifies the original Samsung keyboard to allow text shortcuts (i.e. when "u" is typed it automatically replaces it with "you")

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store
