Add Sounds

Hey guys, I just wanted to know how to add a sound to an app. My app's just a simple test app which is basically just a picture, and I wanted to know how I could add a sound that just plays and loops in the background.
Thanks, guys.

Video Tones as "ringtone" ?

Hello,
does any one know an application that can enable videos to be set as ringtones for incoming calls? So far I have found 'Vringo' as a solution but using it didn't allow you to add different videos to different people from the contacts. It allows you to choose only one video.
Thank you in advance.
there should be mivtones (www.mivtones.com) . Never tried it though
Thank you for the tip. i installed it, however the programm is not working properly on my HTC Desire. When i enable it the phone is ringging with the standart ring tone and once i decline the call the video starts playing. I had some issues with the vringo application as well, but it's working fine as long as you don't turn the vibration on.
i had this app on my iphone and its great it will probably be a few updates to work out the bugs but otherwise there support section is good about getting out the best product possible

Where to find the "battery fully charged" sound?

Hello,
I already used the search function without a satisfying result. I am too using the SGS as an alarm clock and want to get rid off this annoying sound. The workaround is ok but not more. So I thought I create a mute sound and replace the original one with it. For that I need to know where it is.
Thanks for your help!
in JPU (not sure about others) it's /system/audio/ui/TW_Battery_caution.ogg
I noticed battery full sound is same with default notification sound and changes at the same time. If that is the case, there is no separate battery full sound. What I did was set default notification to silent and set each application (talk, email, etc.) to unique notification sound. Maybe that is not what you are looking for, but works for me. (For both JH2 and JK4)
Hi guys,
thanks! I´ll try it out.
Cheers

Low call volume in NAND builds [PROBLEM]

I see many people have problem with low call volume in NAND builds. Me too.
The problem is only in an incoming call. When I make a call everything is OK and the sound is normal, but when I receive a call it's very very low. I can hardly hear the other side. If I turn on and then off the speaker during the call, the sound becomes normal (as it should be). But it's very annoying to do it on every call.
I've tried different builds with different kernels, different radios, but the problem is still there.
So if anyone has a solution, please post it here.
Delete/move the htcleo.acdb out of etc/firmware and system/etc/firmware and reboot, this should make it somewhat better, overall. But Ringer, notification, alarm, and media volumes are still not where they should be.
in futureshocks nand rom the call voulume is very good and the other sounds too i also tought it's a nand problem but with his build there is no problem
In the JDMS build the volume level is amazingly loud. Check it out.

Do a search, some people have complained about this too, not everyone gets it, but there is a fix for Mic gain, and background noise. I'd do a search but I just woke up and am still looking for pinholes in my eye lids.

No problem with JDMS build here. Best android rom I have tried thus far. Fast, no lags and looks great.
It's great not having to choose between winmo and android.

you just basicly took out the file that prevents you from getting background noise, hence the htcleo.acdb, thus leaving the default.acdb in its place
if you want a louder overall speaker volume, take out the htcleo.acdb from other builds and swap it with yours. Check file size and dates, g'luck

[Q] Changing the Unlock Sound on the Galaxy S4 i337

Hey folks,
Got a question for you. On my shiny new SGH-i337M (Rogers Stock, rooted only) GS4, I want to change the sound of my unlock sound. I'm using the light effect, but want to change the sound from the sort of ding-a-ling to a different tune (I have the audio file I want to use already, MP3 format (can change if needed)).
I've looked in /system/media/ui, and none of the unlock options there seem to be the right one, so I'm kinda stumped.
Thanks,
don't think you can custom change unlock sound--maybe if rooted
i have copy & pasted my custom ringtone and notification sounds to appropriate folders
you can add your own text to lockscreen though--get ris of "Life Companion"
EDIT: Found this for S3--did not have time to look at it--

It is most likely inside the app for the unlock stuff. You'd have to decompile the app find it in the app then change the name of the new file whatever the old one was and then recompile it.
EDIT: shouldn't take but 10 mins at most.

/system/media/audio/ui
There's an unlock.ogg audio file there

Had time to look at this and found audio/ui also. But, my phone plays the att sound and nothing else. Either on or off per Settings/My Device/Sound/Screen Lock Sound. I turned it off then back on and I get a ding when turning power on. Wierd. The unlock.ogg doesnt't sound anything like the att sound I have. Must be missing something? Doesn't really matter to me though, prefer sound off anyway.
As a side note, semi OT, I finally, through all my noob reading, found out how to get rid of "Life Companion" on lockscreen. Thank Goodness--
@geoldr, I'd already looked there, if you'd read the post. The unlock.ogg isn't the same sound.
@toxicpaulution, that's a good option. I'll look into it (assuming I can learn to do that. I'm not THAT in-depth of knowledge about the Android OS.
Altered Sounds For D/L
Hey, new here! However, i have managed to edit two sounds so far. The Lock sound & the start-up Sound. Lock sound is Mario Pipe sound, and start-up sound, if anyone is interested in rap, is Bone Thugs & Harmony - 1st Of the Month.
>Must be Rooted<
Download Files Below & Extract.
Then Simply navigate to > /system/media/audio/ui and replace files :
lens_flare_lock.ogg (Lock Sound)
PowerOn.ogg (Start-up Sound)
Reboot Phone to Enable new sounds.
Currently working on Unlock sounds as well, haven't got it yet . However, anyone who wants a custom sound (Start-up/Lock) of their own, Shoot me a message & I'll see what i can do :victory:
I do not think this will work with light effect selected, this method requires the ripple effect to be selected.
I may be wrong. But the last that tried, it had to be ripple.

Your Correct My Friend the sound for light effect selected is in Framework/res/raw, One is called lens_flare_tap the other is lens_flare_unlock! :good:

Thanks Venom!!! I replaced my lock/unlock ui sounds but couldn't figure out how to get rid of the ripple effect that played before my custom unlock sound. Replaced the unlock.ogg file (ripple sound) within the Framework.apk (resources/raw) and was able to get the exact effect I wanted.
I tried the lens_flare_lock.ogg now I can't lock my screen . Please help
