Hello. I know I have seen this before but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can the battery full notification be turned off? Thank you in advance.

There's no setting that can turn it off... other than to lower your volume or put notifications on Silent.
You could try renaming the TW_battery_caution.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui that would eliminate it from being found when it tries to play the sound. (haven't tried this so it may throw an error (doubtful)... at which point you could rename it back to the original name)
Like JoeDV says--
Go to Settings - Sound and Display - System Volume - and move the slider all the way to the left and touch OK. You will still have the visual notice, but NO sound.
If you want other sounds from the "system", this won't work for you, but I always have system volume turned all the way down. For me, it helps convserve the battery.

I think you're onto something here. Rather than renaming the file, and potentially causing an issue when the system tries to call on that file to play the sound, you could REPLACE the sound file with one that contains no sound.

Well, yeah... you could do that too. Good idea.
Feel free to delete sound files in that folder.
I deleted Lock.ogg inside that folder since I like the unlock noise but not that crappy tick for locking it.
Also deleted shutdown.ogg...

As the title says I'm wondering if it's possible to change the sound played as the phone is locked. Im currently using serendipity 6.4. I couldn't find anything in the settings menu about it so I figured I would come here

have you tried searching for apps on market that might aid in this? Some of em might have options in the settings. I really don't know of any, but you could try "lockbot". I think that one lets you change lockscreen and stuff. Then of course you could silence it, but I know that's not what your going for
the sound its located here: /system/media/audio/ui
the screenlock sound is called (oddly enough) Lock.ogg
take a sound you want to use, make sure its .ogg format, rename it Lock.ogg and drop it in the directory i with root exploerer or adb said and reboot. that should work ... havent tried it personally but it should work.

Hi guys,
My Galaxy phone is rooted and I deleted some of the .ogg sound files in the SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI folder, but the camera still makes a clicking sound when taking a photo
Any ideas how to solve this? I want it permanately gone, not just turning down the phone volume
thx

Which ones did you delete and did you restart your phone afterwards? By deleting camera_click and camera_click_short you shouldn't have the sound file anymore so restarting should fix the problem.
Ah, I did delete those, but I still get that "focus beep" how can I get rid of that?

That sound is actually kept inside the APK and you can't remove it without modifying the APK.
You can rename it instead of deleting it in case something goes wrong. The two files should be in system/media/audio/ui 'camera_click.ogg' and camera_focus.ogg'. :victory:
I just updated to CM 10.1.2 stable.
Apparently Media Storage has a bug where it will lose its indices for ringtones (or any media file I figure) on the sdcard(s) after a reboot.
Also, non-ogg ringtones don't automatically repeat for incoming calls.
Out of curiosity, have these two bugs been fixed yet? (Perhaps in 10.1.3-RC1?)

Easiest way to know: look at the changelogs and/or try it
It looks like it hasn't been fixed. (But at least someone was kind enough to report it early this morning.)
And the non-repeating ringtone bug was reported back in May but dismissed due to "no log attached".
So I suppose the current solutions for me are:
1. Re-encode all of my custom ringtones onto repeating ogg files. (A lot of work, but perhaps it's for the best considering ogg appears to be better supported than any other container/codec.)
2. Remount / into r/w and copy them into /system/media/audio/ringtones, and all my notification sounds into /system/media/audio/notifications, then remount / back to r only. (They'll get erased the next time I update the ROM, but oh well.)

my solution is a variation on your #2 -
I use xplore to copy my custom mp3 ringtones into the nightly cm rom zip in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder, brfore flashing the rom.
I've never had the non repeating ringtone problem either ogg or mp3. all my mp3 tones are trimmed to 30 seconds or less.
the ogg format has a repeat option in the header - if your ogg files are set to not repeat, then they won't repeat.
the not repeat option is good for notification tones. check your oggs with a media player?

I was trying to use a bunch of mp3 ringtones. They play once and don't repeat when I get a call.
(I'm pretty sure that CM7 - the previous ROM I was on - was able to use plain mp3 files as ringtones and re-trigger the ringtone for each "ring". I don't understand why this behavior was changed.)

Right, that much I figured out after looking into the default ringtones a little closer.
laughingT said:

True, but then they're not good for ringtones.
Having to set the ringtone file itself to repeat or not repeat means I can't use one copy for both a ringtone and a notification tone.
(Granted, currently they're separated into two different folders so that forces me to keep two copies, but still...)
So, I don't get why your unconverted mp3 ringtones dont repeat, when in ringtones folder.
you might open the phone dialer, select settings and toggle some options. like the action on flip phone down to mute ringtone? voicemail and other call settings, etc.

I don't know why either. I'm guessing that the code that plays the ringtones has either been re-written or replaced since CM7, and as a result it's either an oversight or a bug.

I looked - didn't see any option to auto-repeat the ringtone.
One other thing to note about having to control the looping via the ringtone file - it also means I have to edit every one and insert a silence-delay period for repeating. (ugh.)
software_samurai-
a rom bug doesn't explain why my mp3 tones repeat in all editions of cm10.x and yours don't. there is something different in your settings or audio, imho.

I decided to re-flash my phone with the exact same CM 10.1.2 ROM, and now the ringtones are working as they should. Go figure.

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!
Has anybody been able to get custom ringtones or notifications working? I added a file into system/media/ringtones, and another one into system/media/notifications, and neither one works. I've tried OGG and MP3. I did it in write protect off mode. They both get replaced by some default sound, but I can't actually find the sound. The file shows up in the list of ringtones/notifications.
Picking from the Settings>Sound menu doesn't seem to work at all unless I'm picking from the default tones. Even choosing to pick from Solid Explorer at that point doesn't work. The only thing that worked for me was going into Solid manually and setting it from there. The problem with this is that I can't set notification tones per app, or per contact or whatever.
Trying to see if this is a common issue before I wipe and start over.
Are you making it more complex then it needs to be? If you connect your moto X to a computer and browse the sdcard via an explorer window or similar you can just copy mp3s into the ringtone or notification directories and then select them on a per app basis. No rooting or any software required, its all built in by default.

I would just prefer to keep them in the stock location.
However, even putting them in Internal Storage doesn't work, because as I mentioned above, the only way it will let me choose a tone that's not a default one is if I do it the backwards way through Solid. It won't let me pick anything but the default tones through the apps, or through the system settings.
I got my X 3 days ago and immediately put my custom .ogg ringtones in the /ringtones and /notifications folders on the "sdcard" and have rebooted several times since and still can't choose any of them. That said, I have the same problem on the N5 I'm looking at.

Hmm, so seems like it may be a 4.4 problem. I have another X here that's still on 4.2, but the battery is dead, so I'll have to charge it and test it out later today.
So...now it's working. Not from system/media, still, but from the storage. Works on a per app basis and from system settings. I have no idea what changed from yesterday to today.

Yeah, maybe. It should have been doing that on boot, and I rebooted at least 10 times yesterday over the course of the day. I'm just glad it works now, even if I can't keep the files in the stock location.
I'm on 4.2.2....But have no trouble using Zedge or whatever to download ringtones and notification sounds. Then change them in settings.
Must be a 4.4 glitch.

Make sure you set the permissions correctly. That's probably the issue
So,
For me I was putting .mp3's into sdcard/notifications and sdcard/ringtones but when copied them to sdcard/media/audio/notifications they showed right up.
not sure why sdcard/notifications and ringtones exists (I didn't create it)
