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.

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...
Hey guys I need some help regarding boot animation sound. I am currently running Andromeda 2.0 which comes with SGS tools. It says that if I place a .wav file in SD/sgtools, that will play during boot up... it is not the case though. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.
Ps: I've tried putting system volume up before rebooting but that is not the problem...

I think that the file needs to have an .oog extension

.ogg is for shutdown sound I think.

I literally answered this question not two days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932700
it was on page 2 of "themes and apps", even a brief search for "sound" would have found it for you
Thanks, sorry will search better next time.

I think you mean .ogg ...Oog is a town in Somalia.
Make sure you have to set the file to play as the startup sound with sgs tools as well, then tap apply. Just putting the file in SD/sgtools and rebooting isn't enough.
This is soooo annoying, it goes off and lights up my whole room in the middle of the night. Is there any way to remove or disable this horribly annoying feature?
I just put the screen face down and that works for me.

still makes the notification sound
Are you rooted atleast? If so use a root file exploerer and navigate to /system/media/audio/ui and rename batterycharged.ogg to batterycharged.ogg.bak. That will stop the sound.
If you aren't rooted then idk...

Could put the phone in silent mode before going to bed?

I'm assuming if you are NOT rooted, there is no app that you can use that will give you the same access to modifying system files as described above, right?

Then I wont get notified if there are any emergency calls/texts in the middle of the night, unless I go into the settings and just silent system notification sound which is a PITA to do every single night and morning.

You're right, you will need to be rooted to go change that with Root Explorer. (Superoneclick could easely do that for you)
As for your system notification, I don't think you really need it, do you? I mean, it would be a simple way around getting root. Or you could simply set them to vibration?
You comment out one line inside services.jar.

Still need root for that.

AFAIK it still makes the sound when set to silent
which is why the root require methods are needed
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!
I just installed 24a and I'm modding my system ui tones back to what I had before and I can't seem to get the shut down tone to work and I wanted to see if someone could look on their phones and see if I have it named right
Edit** these can be found under system/media/audio/ui

The names look right, but your permissions look wrong.........should be rw-r--r-- not rw-rw----
Try changing the permissions to see if it works.
Good call on that, It still isn't working but it's something that slacked on
