Yes, I know that the filename is "Effect_Tick.ogg" located in /system/media/audio/ui. I also know that the 'setting' is in "Settings -> Sound and notification -> Other sounds". But for some reason, it just will not play.
Yeah, I like to hear that click when I press things on my phone(s). So much so, that I have kept the old ICS sound around to write it to my other phones since.
I'll try to make this short. I had my old Nexus 6 go into a bootloop about a year ago so I restored it with a factory flash and then re-rooted it and flashed my favorite Rom, Pure Nexus 5.1.1. It (the click) had worked before, but I do not know why it stopped working. There were other problems still on my phone so I finally bought a new one and flashed it to this ROM. I used MyBackupPro to restore my apps as I do not care for some of the newer version of apps that I use. I was also trying to flash the TBO market on my phone as well. When first I flashed my phone, the click was working, but somewhere along the line it stopped. If I use root explorer and go to the file's location and press on it, it will play just fine. So I'm just not sure what's up.
I did get a big hint. I installed "FP Click sound changer". Within that app, when I press on "Effect_Tick.ogg" I get the following message:
"java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.media.MediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(int)' on a null object reference"
This leads me to believe that is is something inside of framework-res.apk or systemui.apk or something like that. I didn't see enough in build.prop to make me think it would be in there. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The error you're getting with FP Click Sound Changer is because the app likely isn't properly initialized. Meaning a change in Android between when the app was last updated and now has broken the app. The error has nothing to do with either of the .APK files you mentioned. If I recall correctly, neither system app deals with media to begin with.
The most obvious question here is whether you have tried a new copy of the audio file, even if it appears to work perfectly. If you have done that and are still having issues, one of your apps that you are using is causing the problem. You're going to have to do some troubleshooting to resolve this, namely starting with a blank slate and reinstalling apps one at a time until you find the one that causes the problem. Before you protest, any answers without you attempting some troubleshooting on your own are merely guesses made off of inadequate data.
Thank you for the reply, however my ROM was 'cooked' up on Sept 2015 and FP Click Sound changer was released/updated on Dec 26 2015, so what you suggest cannot be the cause. Besides, it only throws the error on Effect_Tick.ogg and no other system sound. And yes, I do have fresh copy of the file from ICS days.
But you are correct, if nobody knows which system app would throw that error message, then I know a fresh start is in order.
On this forum, many people have updated their N6 to more up-to-date versions of Android than the version you had. However, I wouldn't have provided that answer had you told us which version of Android you were running in the first place as well as the fact you built it yourself.
In any event, I hope your fresh start works out for you. You may also want to consider building a newer version of AOSP for yourself as well.
Thank you again for the reply, however:

Well, I certainly meant no offence. Some years back, I used to to help folks out with their Android phones/problems and would at times be about the same way as you. Many times the details were not there. However equally so sometimes, the OP did provide the answers but the others that would chime in did not seem to read all of them.
With that said, I was thinking about rewording my question to perhaps ask if anyone knew which system apps on Android 5.1.1 would call for Effect_Tick.ogg so I could try to find where it had been set to 'null', but I stumbled across my solution after all. File permissions. So for any readers:
Yes, using ES Explorer, I copied again my good Effect_Tick.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui and it still didn't work except in music player. So I thought since ES would allow me to see and change file permissions, let me take a look. Sure enough, the file permissions for Effect_Tick.ogg were different than all the other sounds in that location. It was set to rw,rw and group sdcard,s. All the others were rw,r,r and group root. Changed to match the others and problem solved. :highfive:
Thanks very much again for trying to help, at least someone (you) did and that does mean a lot to me on such an old(ish) device since as you said, many have moved on and/or flashed much newer versions of Android to the N6. :good::good:
I'm glad you solved your problem. Even better, you came back to tell us about it.
Too many find the solution and don't say anything.

So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.
Regards
Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

My App ICE Donate wasn't found either.. I removed the copy protection until Froyo is officially listed - it can be found and downloaded again

Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now
Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.

I was looking around for a thread for this phone, but found nothing. I hope people start working on it, I'd like to mod it.
Is there anything I can do to help, like dumping the rom? Do any of the current tools even work on it?
I read somewhere Kyocera was going to put out an upgrade to 2.1, bit I can't find anything besides a mention of that.
EDIT: FEB 22, 2011
NEW 2.2 THREAD
YES! It is actually out! For real!
EDIT: Jan 27, 2011
It was released (somewhere around page 76) that Android 2.2 would be released Late Feb to early March.
START NEW THREADS!
If you have questions other than modding, it would help to put it in a new thread with the prefix subject "Kyocera Zio M6000 - "
I figure if lots of threads pop up like that it would be more likely that they'd notice it and actually create it's own forum. If everything is just tagged onto this thread, then it will just get huge and unnavigable, and the mods won't notice enough activity.
Update:
hotaru was awesome enough to post a full dump of the Zio for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8907621&postcount=287
If you look around this thread you'll find info about rooting the phone. Also in this thread a port Clockwork Recovery was released. There are some issues with it that were not resolvable. Such as if you boot to Clockwork and don't actually reset the phone, it will lose the Cricket settings and revert to Verizon. So it will work to recover a ROM and backup, but you need to also need to reset or restore when you go there.
Wasn't sure where to post this since there is no HW section for this phone, so I put it here in hacking general...
Could someone create a forum for it and move this post to it?
EDIT:
To root the phone people have had success with 1-click root for N1
And the MSL# is 000000
The debug ACCESS CODE is #777468
A copy of the 1.6 rom here
Will update here with any usefull info.
Also, this thing has absolutely no multi-touch, even though all the blogs says it does.
For Tethering. PdaNet (I can't post any links cause i'm a new user, just do a Google Search and click "I'm Feeling Lucky")
Works like a Charm.
Currently Using the Free Version and it works GREAT.
Even has an SMS client built in so you can reply to your messages while your tethered.
Just make sure USB Debugging is on and you'll have no problem.
I also put in a request for a user group for this phone. I emailed one of the admins directly and he told me if they get enough requests they may create it.
What I have really been looking for is either a hacked up upgrade Rom to either enclair or group for this phone.

I second that motion. The seems to be the first legit prepaid android phone, and it isn't really getting any attention, anywhere :-/
Which I find quite odd. I personally have the EVO and love it but I did buy this phone for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it and for a prepaid phone with a price point of 230 bucks you really cant beat it. Especially for 55 a month. I would think more people would be flocking to this. I have even considered giving up my evo for it but I do like the 4g. And the Build of the Evo is much higher quality.
Root
I think getting the thing rooted is important. All of the wifi tether apps require that. I read somewhere that someone had done it.
Do you find your girlfriend's Zio crashes when trying to watch video that you are opening from a link? Mine does every time :-(
Yup, lots of freezing, soft and hard.
I can't get rid of a "cdma: reorder" error after installing GoogleVoice. Now I can only make calls through GV or I'll get the error. I really need a better ROM, they better come out with 2.1 ASAP.
I also hope the no multitouch is only a sw issue and not a hw one.
i totally agree with you guys this phone needs some tweeking

Multitouch is something that is enabled in the kernel. I'm sure that the update to 2.1 will bring multi touch.
ROOTED!
The Zio can be rooted, download the file, email it to yourself, and open it on the phone. It is easy peasy ;-)
Paste this into the search up top: 1-click root for N1
(I would have posted the link but the forums rules won't allow me because...I don't have many posts?)
Wifi tether works like a champ.
No problems with my girlfriends phone I played with it for at least 2 or 3 hours when I first got it and eveything appeared to work fine. The only thing that I really didnt like was the factory keyboard I heard swiftkey got a major upgrade and was thinking about using it as a replacement especially cause it has the voice to text feature. And I may root her phone as well to give that wifi tether a shot. But what I would really like to see is some kind of upgrade to 2.X I think that it what will really make this phone shine.

There is an app called "Barnacle Wifi Tethering", look it up in the app store. Once it is installed it is self explanatory,
If you like it, you should donate to the developers ;-)

Got that and it seems kinda buggy. I always get some type of error the first time I try to start tethering. Always works on the second shot though.

I second this motion.
Step 1: Download APN Backup & Restore from Market
Step 2: Open APN Backup & Restore
Step 3: Backup APNs
Step 4: Plug phone into computer with USB cable.
Step 5: Drag notification bar from the top, tap the USB connection notification, and Mount the SD card to your computer.
Step 6: Find the mounted drive on the computer (may be D:, E:, F:, G:, for example) by opening My Computer. Open it.
Step 7: Go into the APNBackup&Restore folder.
Step 8: Right click on your backed up APNs (maybe like 201009041233-apns.xml or something or whatever you named them when you did a Backup APNs)n
Step 9: Open with Notepad or Word Pad if it asks you.
Step 10: Highlight all text with your mouse, or use Ctrl + A to select all.
Step 11: After all text is highlighted, use Ctrl + C to copy the text OR go to the 'Edit' menu at the top with your mouse, and choose 'Copy'.
Step 12: Reply to this topic in this thread, right click in the text box where you type, and choose 'Paste'.
Step 13: Revel in good feelings as you provide very valuable help to the Android community.
Thank you ahead of time, if you are willing to help.
yea do that for sure! and also maybe somebody who has root can grab the mms.apk and .odex files too =\

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.
I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..

Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
Hi ya, i think i had 5.3.2.0 and rooted it via rootjunky's tool (kingroot then supersu) and flashed back to 5.3.1. blocked OTA updates and went for the custom Nexus ROM, kept coming up with google errors so dumped that and tried CM12.1 and still got various other errors so read on one of rootjunkys feeds that someone just gave up and kept 5.3.1. and just removed the "crap" as he called it so i have come to the conclusion i'm going to do that as well.
So as i stand right now i am at 5.3.1. rooted blocked OTA updates and kingroot has gone and supersu is in, playstore is due to go on via the 5thGenSuperTool and change the stock launcher to Nova, that is as far as i can go on my own, been hunting around on here for threads that help remove the unwanted Amazon which to be honest is all of them i think but i'd like to keep Calender/Calc/clock/camera app but even some of these need you to register the tablet before i can go any further, so as it stands right now what is best for me should i register the tablet or not, if yes should it be in real name or moody name?
Also i see mention of lock screen and adverts, sorry for the next question the lock screen is that the screen you come to first where you have to swipe upwards to see icons? And why have i not seen any adverts yet, is it because i have not registered the tablet yet?
Also can you suggest any other threads for me to look at regarding getting rid of the rubbish or bloatware just stuff i don't need, i have come across the following but just wondering if i have missed anything you can think will help me in my case.

I'm having no issues with the ROM itself SuperSu has been a nightmare to update, i tried TWRP but for the life of me every thread i try to use (here and elsewhere) it fails to works and just lease a blank screen, if i remember last time my problems came with gapps and wondering what version of gapps i should use i have seen pico spoke about but can't even get that far, had the damm thing since black friday and to be honest i'm getting fed up with it

Supersu has been updated and for the life of me i have no idea why but i don't care it's done, now to look at gapps
Well just to close this down, i have it working now my major problem was trying to install gapps v6 on it but once i had worked out my error she is fine, i just want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me get it sorted once and for all.

Hi, got a strage problem with my Nexus 6, runnig with 7.1.1.
Altough the camera app itself works fine, any other app interupts with an error massage when the app tries to use the camera (eg WhatsApp or CamCard). Don´t know the message in english, translated form german, the message should be "can´t connect to the camera". Ok, I´ve done a factory reset, I booted into the recovery mode, wiped the cache and did a reset with no success. Trying to make a photo eg. with WhatsApp doesn´t work .
I´ve read, that should be a hardware problem. I can´t imagine that.... As I remeber, the first time I recognized the problem was after I installed an app for the vector smartwatch. This app sould be a remote to initiate a pictute shot from the vector watch (The app didn´t work, I deleted it). After that, I tried to make a picture with WhatsApp and the camera failed the first time. An accident? And the camera still works fine with the camera app.
However, I don´t know any further doing. Do you?
Thanks for any support .....
Back up your data and perform a factory reset. What happens?

I already did that. No effect, same problem ....
Sorry to ask the obvious question, but you did grant camera permissions to the other apps?

I would say YES. After the factory reset, the only app I installed was CamCard with all permissions. Starting the camera out of this app causes the message "couldn´t start the camera".
But I think, you´re right, my fault must be something like "basic" or "fundamental". I´ll try a second time.....

Instead of playing the guessing game why not pull a logcat and know for sure what is causing it. If you tried on a completely new setup then I would say the issue is with the app.

The issue is with all apps using the camera (eg. WhatsApp, CamCard and so on..)! But thank you, I will try to pull a logcat (after figering out, what that is... )

If you are messing with your device and dont know what a logcat is then STOP. This is basic troubleshooting 101 and many want even look twice or offer any help without one.
Also with the recent update it could be that google changed something with the camera and the apps need to update it. I cant really test either of those as I have no use for camcard and I wouldnt be caught dead with wahtsapp installed on my device.
"logcat ... This is basic troubleshooting 101"
I have to disagree. I've been playing with Android for several years and I have little idea (not "no idea", since I read a description recently) what a logcat is or how to get one, but most people's queries here are answered without logcats. To tell someone to STOP (unnecessary caps) is unhelpful, and I say that with respect, given your very large (and very impressive) number of thanks votes.

Trust me man. It really is. They are so important that many devs refuse to even look at a question without it. The questions that popup normally go through about 6 pages of try this or try that when a logcat will tell you exactly what is wrong.
I only say stop like that because things like this carry very real risks. You could easily brick your device and if you dont know how to do the basics then there is nothing anyone can or will do to help. It is also the main reason devs hate toolkits that do nothing but make matters worse.

Sorry, in my perception, the "sound of your speech" is unreasonable too... Sure, I don´t know every detail, but I´m profesionally about IT for 25 years... and this with a impressive success. So if you advise me to stop, it feels a little disrespectful. But, let´s stop... as soon as possible I will pull a catlog and I´m grateful for this attempt.
