Hi:
I used this file to increase volume on my Fuze. Seemed to work very well for me.
Hope this helps.

Just delete the file you have there, soft reset, and the original will come back by itself

Thanks for posting the files guys! I'm running RRE, and my mic is way out of whack. I've had many complaints of noise while I am on the line. I'm hoping that restoring my audiopara3.csv file will fix the problem. BUT, I am having serious problems extracting the file in order to synch it to my phone. Is there a trick that I'm missing? I can't even get the file to show up on my desktop after I move it. Should I only be replacing the audiopara3.csv file? Do the other audiopara files have any impact here? TIA guys. I really appreciate your responses.

Not sure if the audiopara has hidden/system attributes but to convert back to stock, del in windows dir and soft reset. The system will revert to stock settings.
BTW if you have one to play with just copy it from the SD to the windows dir using TotalCommander and leave AS alone.

Thanks tyguy. I am using total commander. I went and selected audiopara3.csv, but after I tell the phone to delete, it gives me a warning window:
Could not delete 1 file(s)!
Any idea what could be causing this to happen? From what I've been reading, it should be pretty easy to either overwrite / delete this file, so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble.

Most likely it is in use. Check the TC settings that you are permitted to see/access/delete system files.
Try to rename and delete

I'm running Total Commander/CE v2.51
The only TC settings I have are language settings.
I checked the file attributes for audiopara3.csv, and they are set to 'read only' and 'in ROM'. When I uncheck the read only and save, the next time i check the file properties, the check box reverts back to being selected. I might need to revert back to the stock ROM if I can't get this audio stuff to work.

I don't have the original anymore, but this one really helped, it's loud and no distortions. Unzip first.

squirrel, did you try to rename or move it using TC?
Worked for me all the time.

i get the same error when trying to rename, edit, or move.

I'm happy to be able to report some resolution. What I was able to do was copy the entire zip file to my phone with all the audiopara files that herg posted on the last page. Then, using totalcommander, I was able to extract the files one by one to the windows directory and overwrite the files. Thanks for all of your help guys! Everyone who had to put up with the static while talking to me sincerly appreciates it!

Copy and Paste not the same as Push?

I didn't feel like plugging my phone into the computer so I emailed myself an apk file (arctu's Mms.apk) because for some reason...it seems to revert back to stock every reboot...
Anyway, I didn't have any terminal apps so I used Root Explorer to copy then paste over the existing apk. didn't work. Why not? Is there a something different about copy/paste?

If you didn't say you mounted the partition I can only assume it was not mounted as r/w and still at r/o.
copy/paste - visual representation of cp
push - pushing files from computer to phone
They are not the same.

the mms app didn't overwrite. But it could have been user error. I'm using Enom's ROM and didn't have the Community Mms Mod checked...so maybe if I had done that first...it would have worked.
Pushing is taking a file from the computer to copy and paste/overwrite the existing file on the phone. What's the difference where the file is being copied over from? Are you sure about what you were trying to explain?

k?
I didn't try and explain anything (in this thread at least)?
Either way, yes push literally "pushes" a file to a specified location. However that file needs to be written and if the file system is mounted as read only you will get errors.
If it didn't work you must have received an error message (in root explorer for example), what was that message? If you don't get an error message and the file is still not being written then get a better file manager (ES File Explorer).
The suggestion above by 'evilkorn' was to make sure the file system is in read/write mode before you copy the file over... you can do this in Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
If your file system is in r/w AND you still don't get an error message AND it still doesn't work then I would try an ADB push as a last resort and if that didn't work, reflash and start from step one I think...

Because that was your question in the title, which I answered, they are different terms for different things. You can't push a file on your phone to your phone, you copy it (cp).
You still didn't answer my question... It's hard to help someone when the suggestions fall on deaf ears and all you get is reverb and static back.

LoL. You gotta ask a question first before I can answer it. You made assumptions, didn't ask questions. LoL. Anyway, I wasn't trying to crawl under your skin. But maybe next time you can read the OP in addition to just reading the title of the thread? Usually, details are given to accompany the title of the thread on the first post. Either way, I guess I wasn't detailed enough. Thanks for your feedback, tho, appreciate it.
@djmcnz - Sorry, my error in quoting the wrong person. Thanks for you explanation, also.
So, to summarize...Push and Copy/Paste should produce the same outcome, right? Cool...like I said earlier...it was my error in not knowing that I had to use the Spare Parts option in Enom's ROM to enable Community MMS.

I use root explorer all the time when I can't use a computer to use adb. It works fine. Usually if its the system partition you have to click the icon that says r/o and it changes to r/w. This will allow you to write files to the partition. Then from what I noticed a reboot usually fixes any issues of stuff not working.

oem wallpaper directory for the DS7 and editing

was looking around and was not able to find the OEM directory for walpapers/live wallpapers for the DS7, is it in a special directory or a designated android OS directory? I presume it is in one of the directories which would require rooting to access (already done) like the system folder. I was also trying to add/remove various audio (.ogg) files which I found in the /system/media/audio folders. I was able to copy them but it seems I cant edit/add/replace the files. Which I believe is because I need to change the directory from (R) read only to (RW) read/write in order to make changes to it, which I presume means I need to unmount/mount the directory or drive first - can someone point me in the right direction please. I am still kinda a noob for things like ADB and terminal emulator but I am learning.
Thanks in advance for any help in this modification.

Give ES File Explorer a shot:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result
It's free and will do root exploration (requires that you set the home directory to "/" and enable rw, which are all easy to find in the menu). You can then edit, delete, and rename your files with aplomb.

Thanks for the info on ES file explorer. I was able to revise files in the media/audio folder. works rather well.
I am still having trouble locating the wallpaper and live wallpaper files. (wife wants live wall paper from her SGs4g on the tablet as well).

Which one is it? I'm sure it can be found on the ol' interwebz.

I found live wallpaper installers in system / app

the specific one she is looking for looks like a water puddle (rocky background) with autum leaves (red, yellow, orange) floating around with raindrops.
There are a few other cool ones I like as well, but they are more for the tech geek types (which the wife is not). The main thing I am having trouble with is finding the specific directory in which the wallpapers and live wallpapers are located. from some of the previous posts in various forums it is probably located inside a .apk file, but the actual directory where the images (or .apk file) are located seems to vary with each device which is making it harder to locate. I would actually like to aggregate a collection together and be able to install it on all my devices (LG G2x, DS7 and TF101)

Thanks I will take a look and see what I can find out, if they are images it should be pretty straight forward if inside an .apk file I will have to figure out how to edit and re-assemble so it will work

Glad I could help. If you browse the directory, you can't miss them.
Ps
Just looked... its livewallpaper.apk.
If you rename the .apk to a .zip, you can open it using any file unarchiver ( including on your android phone / tablet). I tested using the free androzip on the market
Here's the whole apk. See if it works as is ( dropbox linked)

Thanks again, I knew I could copy the .apk and rename the extension to .zip to unpack the file to examine it's contents, do you know if I can just zip it back up and rename the extension to get it installed and working again, or do I need to re-compile the file first befor installing? (gona have to do some searching, I'm not sure about this)

Root Explorer App.

Hello All,
In another section of this message board, I posted a question about using the root explorer app., I had mentioned the only reason I installed it on my gtab was I read that it had within the application a 'text editor', so if I needed to edit a text file I could..namely the build.prop file contained in the system file. I DID in fact click on the white button and enable the mount R/W function..but still don't see an option like the message states in another area:
Root explorer is pretty straight forward but can be confusing for some people who have never used it before. I have made this list based on the most commonly questions I have read about how to use Rood Explorer. I hope this answers your questions but if it doesn't, post the question and I'm sure I or someone will help you out.
When it won't let you manipulate a file ("this file system is read only") just touch the white button on the top that says "mount r/w"
When you long press files and folders for the sub menu, you can
Extract all
Delete
Rename
Copy
Move
Change Permissions

This program pretty much explains itself so just give it a little time and mess with it for a bit.
Can anyone help me ??
Thanks,

Customizing Your Bootanimation w/ A QUIETER Bootsound!

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE​
I finally managed to get a BOOTSOUND working on my custom BOOTANIMATION last night, but then the real frustration came. IT WAS SO FREAKING LOUD!!! I spent all night and today researching on the net about this & even trying to implement my own code in the mix in an effort to thwart/bypass the issue, but to no avail. Android seemed to insist on blasting the mother & from what I read, it seemed like this was a real problem for a great MANY, most of whom eventually gave up. Who would've thought that the solution would be much easier than I'd imagined.
I know this issue has been solved for many phones out there in many different ways, but not all and for those of us, like me, who are running stubborn versions of Android that insist on running at MAX VOLUME every time you fire them up, then this is for you!
This Bootanimation With Sound Was Made With This Tutorial!
WHAT TO KNOW FIRST:
1) BEFORE DOING ANYTHING YOU NEED TO BACK UP YOUR NAND FIRST!!! It can be done with Clockwork Mod Recovery or EXT-4 Recovery. In case you mess up you will need this to recover your rom. I am not responsible if you brick your phone!!!
2) You will need "ROOT EXPLORER" from the Android Market to do this.
3) This tutorial is for ADVANCED USERS and is assuming that you have already successfully installed your bootanimation, which is usually called "bootanimation.zip". In my case, however, it was "htc_bootanimation.zip". It will be whatever your current bootanimation is called. Just rename the original to something like "bootanimation1.zip", in case you want to go back and use it again later. Then, copy your new .zip file with the proper bootanimation name into the proper folder. Mine was in "/data/local", but different versions of Android will keep them in different places. I think, for instance, Cyanogen Mod keeps it in "/system/media". You'll just have to do some research & if you don't have a bootanimation.zip file for your phone, just search XDA for bootanimations. There are tons on here.
4) I tested this on "dansta34's" Team Blue Droid V3.7 Sensation XL Gen3 EU & Tmobile SonyXloud rom, which is ANDROID v2.3.5 w/ SENSE 3.5..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119
Alright! Once you've made sure your "bootanimation.zip" is in place & you've rebooted to see that it works, you are ready to go!
INSTALLING A QUIETER BOOTSOUND ON ANDROID:
1) Make sure you have already read & done everything above.
2) Download the "bootsnd.sh" file from the internet. There are lots of sources for this, so I'll just throw out a random link.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30200380/bootsnd.sh
Once you've downloaded it copy the file to the root of your sd card.(ie. "/sdcard")
3) Download or dig out the MP3 or WAV file that you would like to be the sound for your animation. Make sure it's not longer than like 30 seconds to a minute. Mine's about 1 minute, but that's only because that's how long my animation is & how long my rom generally takes to start up. Once you've downloaded it rename it to "android_audio.mp3" & then copy it to the root of your sd card as well.
4) Now, open the Root Explorer app from the Android Market. You may have to agree to allowing it SuperUser functions if you haven't opened it before. just click "ok" if that screen pops up. Make sure it says "Mounted as r/w" at the top. If not, click the "Mount R/W" button.
5) If you already know where your "android_audio.mp3" file is supposed to go, then go ahead and move it now, but if not, then we'll start with executing the "bootsnd.sh" file as the audio file location can be a bit complicated.
6) Everyone says to run "bootsnd.sh" through commands in "Terminal Emulator", but I think it is much easier to just execute it manually in Root Explorer. NOTE: If you want to do this, then skip to Step 7 now. If you must install it with "Terminal Emulator", however, then just run these commands in it and skip to Step 8:
su (then hit enter)
cd /sdcard (hit enter)
sh bootsnd.sh (hit enter)
If you get a "No Such User" error doing that last command, just ignore it. Don't run it again. The script has been written. We just need to fix some permissions later.
7) If you haven't executed "bootsnd.sh" yet, let's do it manually! Again, make sure it says "Mounted as r/w" at the top & scroll down to the "sdcard" folder in Root Explorer and click on it. Then, scroll down to the "bootsnd.sh" file. Press & hold on the file until a popup menu comes up. Select the option "Permissions" & click on all the boxes, except the "Special Permissions" ones, in the popup & click "OK". If it does not allow you to do this, then don't worry about it. We'll take care of this later. After that, just click(rather than press & hold) on the "bootsnd.sh" file to open it. The Script File menu should popup this time(3 buttons). Click on the Execute button. This is the same as running the "Terminal Emulator" commands above.
8) Now, lets just make sure we have the proper permissions. Move up a level from "/sdcard" to just "/" & navigate to "/system/etc". Look for the file "init.local.rc". Press and hold on this file & click "Permissions" on the popup menu. Again click all of the boxes except the "Special Permissions" ones if they're not already & click "OK". Then move up a level again to the "/system" folder & click on the "bin" folder. You should now be in "/system/bin". Look for the file called "bootsound". Press and hold on it and do the same. Click "Permissions" & check all the boxes except "Special Permissions" boxes & click "OK". Permissions are done. NOTE: If you already know which file your bootsound MP3 or WAV needs to be copied to then move to step 9 now. If not, you will need to do steps 9 & 10 later. Skip to step 11 for now.
9) EDITING THE "BOOTSOUND" FILE IN "/system/bin" TO POINT TO YOUR MP3 or WAV: Press and hold on the "bootsound" file. Scroll down in the popup Options menu & select "Open in Text Editor". You'll see a bunch of code. Don't worry about what it means. Just look for the part that says something like "/system/media/android_audio.mp3". If your file belongs in this folder, then you don't have to change anything. If not you will have to edit this part. I had to change mine to "/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3", for instance, as that's where my sound file is supposed to go. Once you have made your changes. Save the file by hitting "menu" button and selecting "Save Changes". This will put you back to "/system/bin".
10) Now let's move our audio file to the right place! Back out to just "/" again & then open the "sdcard" folder. Scroll down to your "android_audio.mp3" file. Press & hold on the file until the popup menu comes up. Select the option "Move" to move the file. Then, navigate to the proper folder for your sound file according to your rom or Android version and click "Paste". NOTE: Copy the file to the same folder you designated in step 9 & move on to step 12.
11) Now, where to move this file is tricky! I had to try many different folders...one by one...rebooting each time to see if the sound would play...to figure out which one was correct for my rom. It is usually the same folder as your "bootanimation.zip". In my rom I had 2 copies of "bootanimation.zip". One in "/data/local" & one in "/system/customize/resource". However, my bootsound only worked when placed in "/system/customize/resource". I did not have to change the bootanimation in this folder though, only the one in "/data/local", as the resource folder one is more of a backup. Anyhow, I think in Cyanogen Mod, it goes in "/system/media" & still others require that it be in "/data/local" and so on. You will have to do a search on bootsounds for your rom or Android version...or just post a question in your rom thread. Don't try to be smart like I did & put a copy in all of these folders. When I restarted it, it played multiple files at the same time, which made it LOUDER THAN EVER!!! If you don't know where it goes, you will have to try the different folders one by one and reboot each time to see if it plays. Make sure before you reboot that your phone is not on MUTE, as it may make a difference, depending upon which folder your "android_audio.mp3" is supposed to go in. For instance, the fact that mine goes in "/system/customize/resource" means that the bootsound is directly linked to my ringer volume in Android. ie. If I put the phone on mute before rebooting, the bootsound will not play. It's not like that for all roms, but it is for mine. NOTE: Once you think you've figured out which folder the bootsound is supposed to be in, you will need to go back and do steps 9 & 10 before proceeding to step 12.
12) Now that you've got your bootsound to play on your bootanimation, all the hard stuff is done. Now you just have to ask yourself one question. Was it too loud? Unfortunately, many Android versions & roms default the bootsound to MAX VOLUME & like I said earlier I tried tweaking the code for it in so many different ways, but it just kept on blasting.
SO, I CAME UP WITH TWO POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BOOTSOUND VOLUME PROBLEMS.
As I mentioned briefly in step 11, due to my "android_audio.mp3" file being in the "/system/customize/resource" folder, the volume of my bootsound depends partly upon my ringer volume(same as system volume) level in Android. So, if I put my phone on low volume or mute & then reboot, it actually makes my bootsound at low volume or mute. I've also read that sometimes the notifications volume can affect bootsound files that are placed in "/system/media" as well. I don't think that this is very common, but you can try playing around with different volume levels to see if it makes a difference. If you find that this doesn't apply to you then I have another suggestion below.
After messing around with all that, however, I still thought my bootsound was really loud at times so I came up with another solution which was simple, but actually worked quite well. I used a sound editing program that I had on my computer. It had an option on there called "FADE", which allowed me to load a sound file and then lower its volume manually within the file. The program was called "Cyberlink Wave Editor", but I think it only comes bundled with other software. If you want to try this method though there are tons of programs at sites like DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM. Some are free. Some are trials. Just took a quick glance & saw that there's an awesome one on there called "WavePad Sound Editor", which is just like mine. It's just a trial program, but you only need it once really & then you can delete it. You can always just search GOOGLE too by typing in something like "sound editing software decrease volume" or something, but I know CNET is virus free stuff, so that's what I use.
Anyhow, I hope this wasn't too confusing & that it helped some of you!!! If so, please click the "Thanks" Button if you can!
