Any way to make the ringtones Louder?

Hi,
I work at a really loud place and i never hear my phone ring. Is there anyway i can make the ring tones louder. I have them set to the loudest in the settings. I am running the att rom. Thanks

If you already have set the ringtone volume at the loudes (note that this is a separate setting from the system notification volume!), you can try to edit the sound file itself.
Install the freeware Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) on your PC, open your ringtone mp3 file and do an "amplify". To make sure that the sound isn't clipped, you can do a "normalize" instead with a maximum amplitude of 0 dB.
Export as mp3, transfer back to your telephone and use that as your new ringtone!

there should be a registry edit to do this, but making it too loud will damage the speakers.

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/

this should do it, check it out: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=72058

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........

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.

How to turn Off Camera Shutter sound in stock Camera.apk?

There is no option to turn off camera shutter sound in stock Camera.apk included in Rocket ROM v22 Galaxy Note...
Has any one been able to turn it off without putting phone in Silent mode????

Remove or rename shutter_01.ogg found here
System/media/audio/ui

How do I do this?
I'm using Root Explorer, and it says that the file is a read-only file. So how do I do?

Ok here we go. I know it is very annoying sound
Follow these:
1. Run the ES File Explorer app
2. Go to ES File Explorer settings and check on 'Upto The Root'. Also make sure check is on for 'Root Explorer', 'Mount File System' under Root settings.
3. Tap UP.
4. Scroll down and tap SYSTEM.
5. Tap MEDIA.
6. Tap AUDIO.
7. Tap UI.
8. Long tap on camera_click.ogg until Operations pop-up appears, and then tap rename.
9. Rename it into camera_click.ogg.off
That’s it. Congo Man!! So now you should have disabled the camera sounds. Well for letting you know the procedure I switched mine too
Now lets see the fruits of labor. Open your camera app (whichever you use) and click a pic and even if you’re not in silent mode, your camera shutter will not make any sound .
If one fine day you miss that irritating shutter sound and decided to enable it again, just perform the steps above and rename the camera_click.ogg.off into camera_click.ogg.
Hope you would have got the steps. Damn, my fingies hurt typing long
Anyways, good luck !

How about the focus sound?

haven't used root explorer but in es file explorer there's an option to mount everything as read/write. by default you can only view the files not on your sd card, i expect root explorer may have the same setting somewhere.
just a warning, i wasn't able to find the "focus" sound anywhere. i was able to mute everything, except the little double beep that you hear when the camera focuses, which was a bit of a pain so i just put everything back as it was.

Your method isn't working for me. I've also deleted the file, but the sound is still played. Where is the wrong? Some cach somewheare?

Download Blade Buddy from the play store.
There's no camera sound option, not sure if it works on ICS.
You need to be rooted.

lol. bit hard to be too sneaky with a phone the size of the note

I'm currently running the CM9 nightlies and just thought I'd add that both the camera shutter and focus sounds can be found as ogg files in the system/media/audio/ui folder. I renamed them both and it works fine.

Deleted the file?
Ok, there might be some glitch. Do a wipe cache (only if you are on stable ICS) and try to do it again (the steps i gave).
If nothing works use this: CAMERA ICS from Moblynx
Here is a read about features (if you like to go through, then you can)
Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)
Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)
Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)
Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)
Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0)
720p face effects (only 4.0)
Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets
Ok, click here for the play link.

[Q] HTC speaker boost level increase?

Hey, everyone. Seeing as how there isn't any root for this phone currently, I understand that I can't flash any programs or install any programs like Viper4AndroidFX/HiFi/Nooxizide.
However, would it be possible to edit the speaker volume levels with ES File Explorer? Or is there some kind of app that would boost volumes? Even a service mode that I could enter to tweak audio settings in depth?
