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!!

Hello with my first post...
I love my Diamond very much but there is one thing that really really pisses me out. That is ringtone volume when you pick your own mp3 or waw ringtone. Whenever i use a custom mp3 as my ringtone i barely hear the ring even the phone is in my pocket. But there is no such problem with the original ringtones. Even with the ones you dl from the htc club page. I compared their properties (khz, bit rate, etc) with the custom mp3s and they all look same. You guys have any solution for this annoying problem?

You can edit the files and raise their volume. Use an audio editing app like GoldWave.
Yeah that worked for me!
I used this and set gain to 98 and the result is perfect!

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.
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

what i done was download from zedge google play set as notification then it will go in your ringtones
Anyone else think that the lowest volume setting is really loud for ringtones? I was using a song ringtone that I transferred over from my EVO4G and it's really really loud for the lowest setting.
On another topic, I then sent it to my computer to try to edit it using a sound editor, put it back on the phone in a Ringtones folder like before, and now it doesn't automatically appear in the list. I hit the + button at the top, select the track, and then get an error that HTC sound set has forced closed and do I want to send a report to HTC. Now every time I try to even change the ringtone, it force closes. The only solution is to change the name of the Ringtones folder.... any ideas as to wtf is going on?
Thanks
hmmmm
Did you maybe change the format of the song when you edited it? Like from MP3 to whatever else, I did that once, I would look at that.
Mine is loud too, but I like that cuz i'm almost 60 lol
Hey.
I have the notification sounds from Nexus 6P, that I would like to use with the 3T because I have become very used to them. They are in .ogg format.
However it doesn't seem to be possible to just transfer them to internal SD and pick the sounds. The sounds does not appear on the selectable sound list.
Is it possible to use those sounds without having to root the device and place the sounds in the appropriate sound folder on system partition?
Best regards,
Hvilsted
You can't change notification sound to your own. You have to use one witch comes with your phone. Sms sound is changeable. Maybe with root you could transfer sounds to media folder and they could work. Haven't rooted my phone, so can't be sure.
Get Zedge, though its a spamming app its sure to have the 6p sounds.
I'm sure you could use ADB to replace the sound files with the ones you desire

Zedge would be the easiest way to do this. They have millions of notification sounds on their app.
Try to convert those sounds to mp3 format, then copy them to appropiate folders and check if they are visible in settings.
I assume you extracted them from Nexus 6P's system image?

Just extract files to ringtones and notifications folders
