Changing keyboard sounds

I managed to tweak the registry and add sounds to change the keyboard sounds on my kaiser. I even downloaded some sounds from this site and am using the transformers sound as my default; but when I try and add my own wav files...No Luck!
I encode the wave files to the specifications as the sounds i downloaded and still no luck. Can anyone tell me what settings they use when they create wav files. I use Nero 7 as my audio tool but any info appreciated...Thanks

are you talking about the sliding tone?
if so
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > SlidingSound
Within this registry folder there will already be 3 folders numbers 0, 1 and 2. Highlighy SlidingSound then click on Edit > New Key. Name the key the next available number. Most likely this will be 3. Now you can either copy the three values from the other listings, or create new ones from scratch by highlighting 3 and clicking Edit > New String Value. They need to look like the following with the left values listed under Name and the right values under Data:
Default - whatever_name_you_want
in - filename1.wav
out - filemane2.wav
make sure you put the files into the windows directory. credit goes to "Bgrngod" on the AT&T forums/

I've done this and it works with the wav files that I downloaded from the internet but the problem is when I try to use my own wave files, it doesn't work. What bit rate should I use or are there requirements that only work?

i'm not sure if there is a bit rate requirement, I've done it to 3 other .wav clip sets all with perfect results. upload your files, i'll give it a try, see if we get the same results.

Cool!!! Thanks.......it's all very odd that the clips of the same kind will not work.....Guess we'll have to wit

One last thing......what audio software do u use???

for clips from movies, i mostly just search the net for them. there are tons out there.
for songs and or audio files i have, i use mp3 cutter trial version and wma cutter trial. it only allows up to 30 sec clips on the trial, but my phone only rings for 25 seconds so any more is just taking up space.
source for the music is either cds, napster, or itunes.

Here's my wav files.....really appreciate this!

Alright i made a cab that does the registry changes and pastes the Default .wav files in the /windows folder. All you need to do is make the 2 sound files that you would like.
Name them:
Custom-in.wav
Custom-out.wav
In the settings menu there will be a new field under the sliding sound icon named "custom". select that and you should be good... ENJOY

The cab worked awesome along with the defaults wav files but my wav files still won't play? Guess I'll try different bit rates......unless someone tries my wavs for feedback

Save them as a regular wav with windows sound recorder... I say a max of 2 seconds...
And the cab comes with e40 saying UGHHHH... hahaha

[Q] Boosting Media Volume

Howdy All!
I'm about to take a trip to Alaska and will be taking my Nook Color along to watch movies during flights. It's running CM7 with the beta .32 kernel. I think it'll be loud enough on the plane (I will be using active noise canceling headphones), but I'd like to know what options there are for boosting volume just in case.
I see that there is a built in DSP Manager and one can simply set it to +10 on each section. Is this the best way to boost volume? I noticed in CM Settings there is a a way to boost attenuation for ringtones, notifications, etc, but nothing for media volume.
Thanks!

I'm using volume + available here.........http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
It's been working well for me.

Oh Wow! Volume + is amazing. Thank You.

Glad to help.

Thank you for your recommended.

One thing to note. If you are using headphones, you may think you need to adjust the "Headset Settings" in Volume +. Changing this will do nothing. The "Speaker Settings" will adjust both the built-in speakers as well as any headset you plug into the headset jack.

Thanks!

THanks a lot !

Volume+ is perfect. Thanks so much for the recommendation. It's working great on my Droid phone, too.

How does volume+ compare to DSP Manager which is included in CM7?

This app is GREAT........
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

DSP manager has superior EQ control IMO but volume + is MEGA GOOD! I had no idea we would ever be able to have an app to do that. Now I don't have to re encode all my low volume videos. I tried running both together but they crash each other.

Can't wait to give this app a try. I just had my first long trip on a plane with my nook and with noise canceling headphones the volume was just about right. Although at times I could have used one or two more volume nudges up.

I have got to be missing something, but when I downloaded the "apk," I got a zipped file containing some files and two folders, and one of the two folders contains a bunch of folders.
How do I install this on my nook color running CM7?

Its just an .apk
I must assume your using safari? Try looking in your downloads folder for the original .apk Safari tends to unzip things that dont need unzipped.

Thanks, but it really is a .zip file. I thought that too until file explorer on my nook wanted to unzip it. Then I went to my PC and unzipped it and that's when I got all the files. It is not an .apk. I checked that out. I'm puzzled. Why would a .zip file be put at the link location for downloading?

Using Opera browser and im also getting a .zip file.
Ok IE browser gave .apk file.

Will this only work for Gingerbread? How about rooted stock 1.1

Dalingrin has created a program for the Nook Color, just for this purpose.

In root explorer hit rename and change it from .zip to .apk.... works like a charm

[How to] Change default system sounds

Hello guys,
Im trying to change some of the default system sounds (CM9),
they are located at
/system/media/audio/ui <folder>
although im changing 1-2 ogg files (just to check them) when i reboot (clear cache&davlink) the sounds are not playing at all, if i change them back to original files they play again normaly.
What am i doing wrong?

Even though you are replacing them with ogg files I guess maybe they're not encoded the same way. Try replacing one with the other (changing the names of the original files) and see if that works. If it works it's probably the encoding.
By the way, what kind of sounds are you changing? Other than notifications and ring tones I don't see what you could ever want to change... is it like keyboard clicks?

I have done this on cm7 and cm9 successfully. i got the iphone lock sounds as an mp3, renamed them to lock.ogg and unlock.ogg, cut and pasted them in the above mentioned folder, and done! there is an app in the market called ui utility, that's where I got the sound files. good luck.

Notification sound

How can I add my own notification sound? I tried to copy one from my Nexus S, and placed it in
sdcard/media/audio/notifications (that's where it was placed on the Nexus S),
but it can't be found in settings on the HTC one. It's an .ogg file and I tried to convert it to mp3 but no difference. Any ideas?

Did you restart the phone? Android only looks for new audio files like that at bootup. The other option is just to create a new folder in the root of your SD card, name it ringtones, put your audio files in there and then restart the phone.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

At first I downloaded some sounds through dropbox to my device, and I couldn't get anything to show up in settings, no matter where i put them. So I tried to transfer the sound files through USB-cable from my computer and now everything shows up in ringtone and notification settings. Weird, but at least it works now

HTC One Low Battery Sound

Hi Guys!
Hoping someone could help me out with customizing my Sprint HTC One. What I'm trying to do is to replace the original screen lock, screen unlock and low battery sounds with custom ones.
Now I did locate the folder /system/media/audio/ui and have found Lock.ogg, Unlock.ogg and LowBattery.ogg
I'm successfully able to replace Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg and they work great. Now my problem comes with LowBattery.ogg. I can replace it with my custom sound but it doesn't have any effect. The same old sound still plays.
Now I've tried everything I could think of and nothing seems to work to get my custom low battery sound to play. Then I realized that the original LowBatter.ogg in the /system/media/audio/ui folder and the sound that actually plays aren't the same sound.
In the zip file attached are two files LowBatteryFile.ogg and LowBatterySound.acc.
LowBatteryFile.ogg is the original file found in /system/media/audio/ui
and
LowBatterySound.acc is a recording of the sound that actually plays when I get a low battery alert.
If you listen to them you can hear that they are different, LowBatteryFile.ogg is has a deeper base. So I came to the conclusion that LowBattery.ogg is not the alert sound that plays.
Does anyone know where the actually low battery sound file is located? Or how I can change the low battery alert sound.
Thanks a million!!
PS.
I'm also looking for the location of the "Pull-to-refresh" Sounds (the sounds that play when refreshing feeds and content) For example the sounds that play when refreshing the blinkfeed.
Thanks again!!
