[MIUI] Screen Lock Sound Issues.

I've been using custom screen lock sounds for a while now, because the default sounds were bad.
Silent for locking and the iPhone sound for unlocking.
I replaced the ogg files in the folder using Root Explorer and all that.
It's been working up until now.
Just out of the blue, the sounds are different and I can't change them..
I even deleted the ogg files in the audio folder and they're still there!
I haven't made any changes to the phone to make this happen..It just randomly started using different sounds and it's really ****ing annoying now.
halp
UPDATE!!
I was looking at the properties of those lock and unlock ogg files and the timestamp said "1:35am" Today..which is weird 'cause I wasn't even on my phone.
Last time I looked, it was like 1 when I was doing something on my phone and I noticed this stuff at like 10 til.
Which also leads me to believe I might have a virus, becaaaause my malware application popped up and said it was unsafe..looked at the list of the apps that it said were unsafe and the first one was Root Explorer and like basically every other app I have lmao.
Guess I'll be factory resetting and re-flashing MIUI tonight. B|

Well it always thinks that apps that have root access are malicious. If your on Miui, check out the sounds ui in the themes app, those will overide any system sounds, cuz its a theme.

I went ahead and wiped and reflashed MIUI.
Sounds are back to normal. I uninstalled that malware app 'cause it was stupid anyway.

How to change HTC One M7 Lock and Unlock sounds

Hi everyone,
I have done some Google searching into this and so far have found nothing. I have searched this forum and have also not brought back any results (I use my mobile mostly and the search feature on the app doesn't seem to bring back many relevant results)
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41475588
So I'm wondering if it's just a case of changing the sound file name to lock/unlock.ogg and replacing the current files.
Is that the case or is there more to it than that?
Also when I do try to change the files (as the thread posted says) I do not have permissions. I'm going to look into the permissions but my main question is about changing the lock/unlock sounds.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Open your custom ROM or use a file explorer on your installed ROM, go to : system/media/audio/ui and change the relevant sounds ... I swapped out virtually everything from a Sense based ROM and used sounds from a GE ROM and everything works fine. There is no need to do anything else but replace the files, file for file so to speak.

I'll give it a go, are the files easy to find on here or do they take a little more searching?

Changing lock screen sounds for non rooted /stock roms for HTC One.
Hi there.
If anyone is still interested, I just found another way to change the lock/unlock screen sounds for non-rooted HTC ONEs. (I have the chinese version dual sim 802w)
Download the Lock Screen Sounds app free (also known as noisylock'd) and select an mp3 file from either your music file, ringtone or notification folder.
Now, for me, I've had a HTC desire z for the last 3 years and I absolutely adore it and I really liked the lock & unlock screen sound on it. So using the file manager,
1) From my HTC desire z, I copied the lock/unlock.ogg files from the systems folder and paste it in my media folder on the sd card.
2) Dragged it onto my pc and converted it into mp3 files online> media.io (found this site extremely straight forward and easy to use)
3) On my HTC One, I copied/dragged the saved mp3s onto internal storage>media or notification folder. (can save on external sd card too)
4) Tap on the app which now says noisylock'd and switch it on.
5) Tap on the first selection for unlock sound and navigate to where your mp3 file is and select it. Then tick the box to the left to activate.
6) Do the same for the third selection which is for the lock screen. (For some reason the middle selection wouldn't work).
This didn't work straight away and was abit fiddly when I tried to press to select the file. I also had to restart/switch off a few times before it finally worked properly. Now I have the same lock/unlock sound as my beloved, almost retired htc desire z hehehe...oh, and it's louder than the original stock sound.
On a different subject, I have a spare htc desire z on android 2.1 or 2.2 which I would like to upgrade to 2.3.3.
I want to attempt my first rooting of a phone so if anyone would be so kind to point me to the right forum link or have a beginners guide specifically for the htc desire Z? This spare one is a bit dodgy, think it's a software problem but thought I could try experimenting with it so even if it bricks, I won't be so upset Thanks in advance.

[Q] Uploading sounds not showing up

Hello,
I've uploaded a couple of mp3 files to use as notification sounds for gmail and my email client. I placed them in the ringtones folder on my internal sdcard, like I always do with my Nexus 4 (which always works). However on my One m7 they are not showing up in the list of sounds.
Does Sense 6 require they be placed in the system or should they be read on the sdcard as I am a bit stumped by this?
Thanks.

Do you have the files in the right format? They should be .ogg files.

Oh right, I assumed like aosp they would read mp3 too.
Ps. Tried converting the mp3 to ogg, still not showing up in the list.

Mine are in the Ringtones folder on the sdcard. Did you reboot your phone after placing them there? You also might check in /data/media/0/Ringtones.

[app-info] Moto Camera w Adv features & Gallery (updated 11/14/2015)

For anyone wanting to have the Motorola Camera on a custom rom,
or one with more options,
check out this thread by S0bes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/app-camera-galery-t3216944
I can confirm that it works great with the AICP rom
and the CM12.1 rom
This is an installable APK, not a system app, so it doesn't replace the system camera.

thanks for the heads up. cool to use on stock rom too bc you can turn noise reduction completely off which takes away that oil painting look. nice!

worked great on a rooted stock rom clark... tnks!!!

Thanks for this but I just can't get it to work a hundred percent. It's like the touch screen is just off. On initial start up I have to hit the back button to get off the start up screen. I can't get the video camera to work cause when I tap on the video icon it just takes a pic. I can barely mess with the settings because half the icons won't do a thing when I tap on them.
It's like the screen calibration is bad.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and redownloaded the apk. Wiped data within the app. I'm running AICP. Didn't work right on the 10/14 build and still not working with the 10/16 build.
Any suggestions? Is this working fine for anyone else?

I am running the latest AICP 10/16,
I don't have any of the issues that you are describing,
the buttons all work when they are pressed
and the screen focuses and takes a picture where I touch the screen
Did you change your screen density off of the default 560 dpi?
Also I haven't changed any of the settings in the Moto Camera, just using it the way it installs at this time.

I had issue when changing DPI on the screen, all the icons didnt res correctly. I just used Xposed with App Settings and set the original DPI... It worked a treat

Thanks guys yeah I changed my DPI I'm sure that's the issue. I've used that Xposed Module before I'll go ahead and get that up and running.
Thanks again I should have thought about the DPI.

so nice to be able to turn off that bad noise reduction that happens even in daylight... pictures look so much better. I wish there was a way to set this to be the main camera app when you do the twist motin.

I had read in the Moto G forum that if you change the release-keys to test-keys line in the build.prop that you could get the extra settings. But I tried that and it didn't work. ?

If you are rooted use the xposed module twisty it lets you set the default app launched

ah nice. I don't use xposed though. kills my battery and randomly makes the phone laggy.

I use the xposed module "moto checkbox" for the same advanced settings. The advantage of using this module over the modded apk is that double twist still works

can confirm, but I think the previous posters were talking about using the apk on non-stock roms. hence the need for xposed twist mod.

Just a word of caution. I tried replacing my /system/priv-app/ apps (MotCamera and MotGallery2) with these on stock and it broke my build. Even after reverting the files, it was so screwed up that I had to do a nandroid restore to recover. It might be because of the package names.

It might be because these are specifically designed to NOT be put into the priv-app,
they are designed to be a separate APK that runs in addition to the camera.
There are other attempts elsewhere that try to replace the built-in camera, but all of them I tried break various other things on the phone.
Also is why the following line is in the Op

Is your system still odexed? Was there an arm folder in the same folder with the apk? If so and you didn't delete it when replacing the apk, that is most likely the issue.

So i tried this, and I was able to replace the system app. However it wouldn't work with the twist motion (probably package name.
The deodexed stock has the gallery features built in, so I was able to get the default camera to expose its features though moto checkbox and it works with moto assist.

Can't use custom notification sounds

Hi all,
I use a couple of apps that I use custom notification sounds for. However, when I test or get a notification on said app, the Note 9 "seizes" the notification and plays the default notification. IOW, my custom setting has no affect. So I miss the event in question. Happens on multiple apps, so I know it's the phone.
This thing is amazing, once I got other things straightened out. It really is the Star Trek tricorder. ?
Any ideas? Help much appreciated!
Rich

Bumping this... anyone?

Try a reboot. Should work after the first reboot when you add custom sounds so I doubt it is a legit fix. Something else must be going on.

Have you tried deleting your ringtones or sounds and pasting them back in folder? I'm just throwing mud at the wall here. Once I paste in the folder if it doesn't work right away a reboot let's the OS see it. Is it regular mp3 or ogg format also?

They're ogg format. Tried everything you said. I put custom notification sounds in 0/notifications and it works fine on every other device I own, reboot or not so I know it's in the phone or Oreo. The app (Space Launch Now) lets me set any notification sound I want and has a test button. When I do the test or get a notification the phone won't see the custom sound and plays the default notification anyway, after several reboots also.

This YouTube video is for Note 8 But its the same procure for the Note 9

I Am Having the Same Issue!
Hi Rich, I’ve had the exact same problem and have spent likely 10-20 hours trying to get this to work over months worth of time. I started with Android Pie (9) and Samsung UI 1.0, and had the issue. Recently, I hard-reset my phone, and installed Android 10.0 and UI 2.0, and nothing has been fixed. Also, I exchanged my phone when I first noticed the issue under the old operating system, and both phones are experiencing the same issue!
I select customs sounds for some apps (under Notifications), but they will not sound. Samsung/android takes over the notification and plays the default sound. I have a newer Note10+, on T-Mobile. In fact, yesterday I was working with a senior tech support person at T-Mobile, and we tried everything. He had a Note10+ there, tried changing to the custom sound, and his device also did not work, did not change it to the custom sound!
Just wondering if you ever got this to work, or have you found any workarounds? I would really, really appreciate your response!
Thanks, Dave

I had this exact same issue. I had to strip all of the tags from the mp3 files and put them in the 'notifications' or 'ringtones' folders. Once I did that, they appeared in the built-in media picker and also worked when using esExplorer to set the ringtone or notification.
