[Q] Phone.apk and ring types - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone tell me if I can just replace the phone.apk that has the ascending ringtone with one that uses the standard straight volume ringtone? Will doing this cause other issues?
The other question this brings me to is if I can just replace it, can I just copy it using Root Explorer?
Thank you so much for the help.

I'm not exactly 100% on this, but I don't think it works just like that.
As it's usually the Settings > Sound option that gives you that feature, not the actual Phone application itself (like I said, not 100% on it though).

Battery full notification sound

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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...

notification sound not working others are

like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.
Just to cover the basics,
Did you do the following:
1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?
2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?
3) Reboot the phone?
4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?
Are your mp3 files playing?
Sent from my captivate running firefly!
yep ive done all that stuff mp3 files will play even when im selecting a new tone on the msgs it plays there just wont play when i get a msg. i am using zedge if that helps
the email ringtone that i set for my msg ringtone worked ugh this is pissing me off.
Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.
i am on a custom rom continuum v4 but ive been using this one for almost 2 months
If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought
Try this : go to Messaging/menu/settings. The VERY last option will set your sms tone.
well it started working when i did that i noticed it was really low so when it played i turned the volume up and it started working

[Solved] Ringtone bugs fixed yet?

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.

[Q] Delivery report notification sound & Message sound

is there any way to seperate both the sound? i searched and checked some old threads of the old HTC Sense system, it's said that you can set the notification sound at the message preference in order to set the delivery report sound and then go set settings\personalize\sound\message sound, so you would get two different sound.
but at Sense 5 of HTC One, you will never set the seperate message sound at personalize settings, so it seems to be impossible to meet the goal of what i want.
after checking the code of Settings.apk at system/app with apktool and sth. else, i didn't find the way to modify or crack this either, at least there's no option to set the message sound seperately.
so has anyone done sth. like this? or success? TNX!

[Q] Turn Off Sound Feedback When Adjusting Volume?

I'm having trouble finding an answer to this on Google because the keywords aren't distinct enough.
When adjusting the volume with the volume buttons, the phone makes a little beep to tell you how loud the current setting is. I'd like to be able to turn that off, if it's possible. Don't ask me why, but that little beep that phones give has always annoyed me for me some reason.
I've been searching through the phone's files (like /system/media/audio/ui), but I don't see an audio file for it, so it might be written directly into an apk. Does anyone know of an app or something to change this? I usually use an Xposed module to turn it off, but Xposed doesn't work with the ART on Lollipop.
EDIT
I just found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185476. The method in that thread says that you need to decompile, modify, and recompile "/system/framework/framework.jar".

You running a different rom? Cause I don't have that on stock 5.1...
Euphoria 5.1, i thought this was standard, im sure a friend has stock and had same settings, might be mistaken.
