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

LeeDroid 2.2.0 music prblms

Hey. Ok so ever since I've been rooted I've only used leedroid roms and nvr had major problems but in the most recent release I can't get any music player to work. The one he supplies won't detect my music and neither is power amp... Thnx for any help

I can't say why it's not working on your phone, but what i can say is that i've no problems listening to my MP3's on Lee's ROM with the default player. Which file format do you use? Have you tried to copy it to another folder with a file explorer? It had once a problem with a pdf file but after i copied it to another folder it worked.

Many of these errors are fixed, entering managing applications, particularly the application and delete data

[Q] Change Boot Music?

Hi all, I am wondering how I can change the boot music for the GS3. Which file do I need to change, and what do I need to name it?
I apologize if there is already a thread. If so, please link me. Search isn't working for some reason for me.

/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
Either change it to a ".bak" extension to stop it from happening. Or delete it.
Or make your own sound file with that name and replace it.

Edit: poweroff.ogg above it is also your shutting down sound. I renamed the cameraclick.ogg to silence the camera when making single shots.

Hmm. I tried it, but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Anyone else have a suggestion? I have converted my file to .ogg, and saved it in system/media, system/media/audio system/media/audio/ui. None of these approaches have worked. I have tried re-naming mp3's and converting them. Has anyone had any success with this?

I've been trying to figure this out all day. I've tried many methods and none seem to work.

Just worked fine for me. I took a sound from a zelda soundboard I had already saved as a notification tone with the app (chest appears.ogg). Copied it to /system/media/audio/ui/ and then renamed it PowerOn.ogg. Rebooted and sure enough the zelda sound plays.
How long is the music you are trying? And when you rename it are you capitalizing the P in power and O in on? That is probably important to do.

Edit2: just used Ringdroid to cut an mp3 of Gangnam Style to a notification. Used first few seconds of the song. Then used a media converting app to make it an ".ogg" format. Copied to that /system/media/ahdio/ui directory. Renamed it PowerOn.ogg. And rebooted. My phone bumps Gangnam now fine when I reboot.

It's 14 seconds long. I put it through ffmpeg media encoder to get to to ogg (I also tried an online encoder with my pc), then copied it here. The screenshot is attached.

Noob question, but do this require ROOT or just a specific app to access the files to change.
Thanks for the info.

I just used a file converter app on my phone. Got it in the market for a few bucks. Odd that it doesn't work for you.
Upload the file in mp3 to drop box or email me it at jciampi at Gmail at com. I will try to convert it and use it.

Yep. To be able to access the root directory and make changes to the system folder you need root permission. Then a file explorer app like Root Explorer or ES File explorer to move the file there and rename it

What ROMS and kernels are you using? From what I understand you need a kernel that has the boot sound option enabled.

I'm using stock ROM. Just rooted

I was on Cyanogenmod 10 official, then switched to official Aokp without changing kernels. Perhaps I should get a new one?

[Q] How to add custom ringtones?

Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and to Android devices too, so please forgive me if I'm making some simple mistakes.
I've recently bought this beautiful device, and I've recently customized it with MaximusHD ROM so now I'm running Android 4.2.2 + Sense 5.0
I want to add my customized iPhone ringtones to my One S. I've googled for something that around the world and it seems damn simple but I cannot manage it to work as expected. I've searched also this forum and the instructions seems everywhere like this:
1) plug your device to the computer
2) transfer your ringtones to the equivalent folder on the device (somewhere it's called ringtones, somewhere else Ringtones I don't know if it's important or not)
3) that's it! You can add your ringtones browsing into Settings - Sound.
Well, I perform the steps but no ringtones at all!
I've tried to replace their extension from .m4r to m4a and also mp3 but nothing changed.
I've tried to reboot and or switch off my device, nothing.
I've tried to put the ringtones in the Download folder and the move them from inside the device with Solid Explorer, nothing.
I've tried to put them in Music folder, nothing at all...
What's wrong?
The ringtones aren't bought from iTunes, they are simple mp3 cropped to 30 sec with this site http audiko dot net/
They are DRM free in fact Solid Explorer can playback them regardless their file extension.
I've even found a thread where it's talking about a .nomedia file in the folder, but it's not the case of my device with Android File Transfer and Solid Explorer I don't see any .nomedia file into Ringtones folder.
Thank you for your help in advice!

Give "media scanner" from play store a try...
Sometimes even my phone needs some time to find all new custom ringtones...

Hi, where can I find that option on Play Store?
However in the meantime I've found a solution.... really strange but it works.
I've sent the mp3s via Bluetooth. I had to rename it from m4r to mp3 first but after that I've transferred them to the phone, Settings -> Sound displayed them instantly without rebooting the device. I've noticed that they're stored in downloads/bluetooth folder.
It seems to me that if the Sense doesn't "see" the files then it won't work nevertheless the folder I put them in.
But I can live with mp3 stored in downloads/bluetooth folder. :laugh:
It just sounds really strange to me it doesn't work in the easier way.

I assume that your device is rooted. Use ES File Explorer ... tools ... root explorer ... mount R/W ... then, open system folder ... media folder ... audio ... ringtones. That's where to copy and paste your ringtones. Afterward, simply change ES File Explorer back to R/O and reboot. Your new ringtones will now be in the settings menu.

Yes, it's rooted since I've installed MaximusHD ROM.
In one of my attempts I've tried to put the ringtones in that folder with Solid Explorer (that asked me for permissions) then I rebooted the device but still nothing, only I don't remember if in that attempt the file extensions were mp3 or m4r (ven if it seems it doesn't matter, at least to the file manager that playback them even if I rename it .ogg).
There's one thing that I don't understand: I've noticed that Android File Manager shows me the content of /storage/emulated/0 folder; however in the folder /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones there are two ringtones (hangouts_message.ogg and hangouts_video_call.ogg) that system sound settings recognize without problems. The thing that I don't understand it's why it doesn't work if I put my files among this two.
Oh and there's also another ringtone that the system sound settings recognize and it's placed in /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications but again if I put my files there they aren't recognized.
I don't understand why files sent via Bluetooth works while transferring directly in the proper folder by USB don't...

They can be ogg or mp3 files, either will work. However they need to be placed into system folders, not simply put into storage folders of internal memory on your sd card. In order to do that you will need root explorer or ES file explorer, and mount the system as I explained earlier. If you need a step by step instruction, let me know.

Hi, thank you. What's really sound strange to me it's that a "normal user" has to root his device to put some ringtones on it while using Bluetooth everything works fine. I mean, even Apple let you put your ringtones with iTunes, without jailbraking the iPhone.
Besides, if this is the only method that works, then I really don't understand what is the purpose of Ringtones, Notifications folders in the /storage/emulated/0 (those normally displayed by Android File Transfer app) if they doesn't do what expected.
Those folders already existed on the phone, I didn't touch anything.

Actually, the Maximus rom changes your sd card ... my guess is, that is what is keeping you from simply dropping the files into the ringtone folder, like you can on a stock rom. None the less, if you are rooted, the best and most complete way, is to do what I described earlier.

Yeah, it's possible. I can ask on the official topic of that ROM maybe.
Thank you for your help I'll make a test and let you know if it worked.

You have to be rooted first...then you have to edit the bootanimation.zip
I think it should be on
/cust/media/bootanimation.zip
I am not sure...
And for the .ogg files android can't play them unless you have a player that supports .ogg i use es file explorer it has a media player that supports .ogg files
Sent from my H60-L04 using Tapatalk

Android supports OGG Vorbis files natively. The more likely reason for why you can't play it is because the player is unable to access the file itself. Either copy the file to somewhere you have full read access, or open it through a file manager which copies inaccessible files to temporary directories before passing the file path further (for example X-Plore).
