Minimum volume on my phone (moto z2p - almost stock android system) is way too loud. I looked into framework-res but I could not find any string related to minimum volume. It is possible to do? Which string I have to edit?
Do not suggest me to use equalizer apps - I already use some of them but they are not so handy.
From what I've seen in previous edits from other people and my own experience of editing that very file to my liking, You're looking in the wrong place.
The file that will allow for what you seek is the Mixer_paths.xml file, However it may be named slightly differently on a device to device basis, And the contents are not universal across the board so telling you what to edit wouldn't be helpful considering what may for example work for a Samsung device may not produce the same results for yours.
But nonetheless, Look within that file and please absolutely be careful in what you edit, Editing the wrong thing could cause undesirable results such as no sound what so ever, Distortion, Saturation, Crackling, and so on, Always be prepared to be able to fix it as well.
Lastly, There are a few threads on the site that can assist you a bit as to what you're looking at within that file to get an idea of what to look for.
Goodluck!
Thank you for the hint. I used to edit that file on my previous galaxy s7, the problem is that the moto z2p does not have any mixer_paths file at all. I cannot figure out which .xml is handling the volume control.
You sure? Did you type search or did you go through folders yourself looking for it.
Sometimes it's in /sys/etc/ and sometimes it can be in /sys/vendor/etc/
Yes!! It was in vendor/etc folder! You save me a lot of time. Now I only have to understand which value I have to edit. Time to make some mess
There you go, Glad you found it.

I just installed the X-plore ROM last night and I love it. The only thing that is bothering me is a certain system sound. I first heard it when booting into WM6 for the first time before the on screen tutorial, and now I hear it when I get almost any kind of error. It's a rather obnoxious noisy sound and it even irritates my cats. I don't know what the sound is called but I sure wish I did. It is a kind of stuttering noise and it definitely seems to be associated with certain events, but I'm not 100% clear on which events exactly.
It isn't listed in the Sounds part of the control panel (I tried listening to all of those) and it isn't in any sound file in the Windows folder. I tried using Search to find files that are .wav , .wma , and .mp3 but Search doesn't seem to look in all folders.
I found out how to disable specific event sounds with a registry tweak but I would rather just know where this sound is stored so I can change it if possible. I tried searching the forums here but I'm not finding anything useful.
Many thanks in advance for any help!!
p.s. I just realized I forgot to say this is the PDA Mobiz version of X-plore , so it might have been added somewhere down the line.
So I have an idea, I'm trying to modify the stock keyboard sound. the stock sound for the keyboard is a little annoying. What I would like to do is customize the sounds a little bit, maybe make different keys make different sounds. But since the stock android keyboard has only 1 sound for all keys, I'm not exactly sure on how to go about that.
Any suggestions?
I see over 80 views and no replies?? anyone have any ideas??
I'm not 100% sure on how to do it, but you should start by pulling the APK from the phone. From there, look through the folders until you find a couple files that say "Keypress" in them and are .ogg files (KeypressDelete.ogg, KeypressStandard.ogg something like that) Replace them with the sounds you want and push it to your phone, make sure it is a .ogg file and has the same name. Let me know if this works or if you have any problems.
Thanks for the reply. I have gone thru that and found the keypress.ogg and keypressdelete.ogg files and replaced them with new sounds, named the same of coarse (they were located in /system/media/ui) and it ended up doing nothing. I found it weird that those .ogg sounds were in there considering they were sounds that arent associated with my keyboard at all because my keyboard doesnt make any of those sounds. So I pulled swype.apk and mms.apk and found the .ogg files in them, changed them, but now I cant reinstall those to my phone, it comes up with an error saying it cannot be installed (I dont use adb, I just use root explorer mostley and then just install apk's on my phone haha). I remember reading that sometimes the apk wont install if its not signed, and since my phone doesnt tell me anything other than "app was not installed successfully," I thought maybe Signing would be the issue. So I tried finding SignApk and a how to guide, but was unsuccessful with that.
If I do get the sound to work on the keyboard, I'll be happy. But ultimately my goal is to make it so that every key has a different sound. That sounds like a job for someone who can write code, which I certainly cannot haha. But it sounds like it wouldnt be too big of an deal to do if you can write code.
I figure I can start out, and correct me if I'm wrong on this, figuring out how to write even a little bit of code and try modifying the stock keyboard to do these sounds. example:
"when "A" is pressed, start soundfile1.ogg"
"when "B" is pressed, start soundfile2.ogg"
Thanks again for the info and sorry I wrote a freaking book hahaha
I post this in my SGS4G Forum, but haven't gotten any hits, trying to broaden my chances of getting some help.
Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.
So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?
I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this
http://www.droidnova.com/creating-sound-effects-in-android-part-1,570.html
However, i am not a Dev so this might as well be Japanese, any hints?
That link is relevant for writting an app that plays sounds.
The app that does this, the dialer already exists though.
This rather sounds like a codec problem.
If you can't open and play those files with the native android player on your phone, the dialer won't be able either.
Recheck the encoding on those sound files and try again.
they will play from the sdcard, but when i move them to the UI folder on the root, they wont... still an encoding issue?
Could be a permission issue.
There is no permission issue on the sdcard, as all files are accessible to everyone, but this doesnt apply to files in the root folder.
So try changing the permissions.
Changed the hell out of the permissions, which made the native player play the file.. YAY!! However......when i changed the file name to Key1.ogg from key1a.ogg, i press the corresponding number on the dialer...i get nada. so sound at all, i will play with permissions a little more, maybe change the format to a lower quality file and see if that helps... Thanks for the insite!
Well the filename has to be the same as the original one, CASE SENSITIVE mostlikely.
To make sure you have absolutely the same kind of file you could extract the original sound file and use a common player (i.e. VLC?) to check the bitrate, encoding, kHz etc.
I DID IT!!! WOO HOO.. what a pain in the ass! LOL I made the files smaller... less than 16hz and 92kbps.. then sent them all to drop box... copied them to the ui folder... THEN...I renamed the originals...then renamed the new ones.. giving them god permission. It worked!! Wish i was more of a Dev.. i'd make an app to simplify it...took about an hour once i got the hang of it....
Dear fellows,
Lately I've been looking for a way to manage all the sound alerts from one point. You know, one application to manage them all. ...or at least the gapps and whatever comes standard with AOSP.
Is there such an application?
Or, if not, is it possible to modify other application's settings? For example from Tasker? Or maybe even start a project for an Android sound themer. (I would have a good reason to start learning programming)
Thanks!
You mean something like "Notification Manager" by Mikael Setterberg? Or different yet?
No, not something like that. That's something totally different. And I've found n+1 programs that do that.
mean something that would allow me to change the notification/ringtone sounds from one place for many/all apps. Maybe even allow me to apply sound themes (like there are on Symbian).
Well, you could point all your alert-tones to a file or group of files on the external memory card (or anywhere really) and then just replace those files with whatever you want by connecting it to you computer and overwriting the files (same file name) with whatever sound(s) you want that day.
I suppose you could do essentially the same thing with something like Astro in-phone as well.
Also, there's a thread (or threads) on this site that teach how to write scripts. You could handle such (delete - copy - renaming) in a script I assume. The logic would be pretty simple I think.
So to be clear, you're changing the files out from under the alert setting assignments so that the phone settings always point to the same path/filename. Only you're changing (by overwriting) the content of those files.
Bifurcator, I know about this solution too. I was wondering if it's possible to change the actual setting, to make the change in the application's settings.
Hello.
I m using LG F70 (F370 or D-315).
And I have an issue that has been bothered me since I bought this device.
I tried to disable camera shutter sound in my phone.
Here are the methods I ve tried so far,
: 1. I replaced .ogg files in camera.apk with ogg files with no sound and replaced the modified camera.apk in SYSTEM\PRIVATE APP folder. I didn't forget to give 644 permission, but it didnt work. So I tried re-installing it as well. but it is still making horrible shutter noise. I didn't understand the situation. I inspected the apk file again and the ogg files were staying modified. I searched in many keywords to find hidden files using Root Explorer. But I couldnt find a worthy:crying:
2. I replaced another ogg shutter sound files that are located in the SYSTEM\MEDIA\AUDIO\UI
. But it didn't work, either:crying:
3. I looked for camera profiles in build.prof file but there no seems such profile exist.
I know that there were such profile that I could change "true" to "false" to change its function in another devices, but it doesnt exist anymore in this new device.:crying:
I ve already got tired to find out how to fix this issue.'
And now I 'm begging you for some tips that hits the nail on the head.
Thank you for reading.
