[AOSP Unlock] Is it possible to add sound byte? - Epic 4G General

I'm running Quantum ROM 2.5 w/ EXT4 and DK28 with AOSP lockscreen and ADW.EX as my launcher of choice.
My wife is running stock with TW.
The only thing I miss about my stock Epic is the TW unlock sound effect. Reminds me of the NCIS sound byte that pops coming out of commercials.
Is it possible to add a custom unlock sound byte/effect to the AOSP unlock?
Anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance! Superficial I know, can't help it, I hear it on my wife's phone all the time.

You would have to replace the 'unlock.ogg' file in /system/media/audio/ui. Would be pretty straight forward if you could get your hands on the sound file for what you would like to use. I'm not running a stock ROM so I can't grab the .ogg file that applies for stock TW sound.

Thanks Leather, but it's not that simple.
There is already an Unlock.ogg but I went ahead and backed it up and replaced and rebooted and still no sound on AOSP unlock bro... gotta be something deeper than that!
What next?

This might sound silly, but make sure that you have 'Screen Lock Sounds' enabled in the phone's sound settings. If you can get A sound to work then you should just have to replace 'unlock.ogg' with the TW one (renamed of course).

Silly, no... I'm just hard headed! There it was all along. I thought I'd have to change a configuration file or something a little more challenging. Thanks for pointing out the setting, din't know it was a standalone option there!
Working great now! Thanks!

Anyone who has installed the froyo beta, could you give us details of what's included

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.
Add what you feel is important. Thanks

If you don't mind, start a track playing in the music player and then back out to the homescreen. Then pull down the notification bar. Are their music controls in there? Lock the screen. Unlock it and check up top, is there a half a disc up top that you can pull down to reveal music controls?
Yes. Its there, just like EE rom. This is TW 3.0.

Do we have that new beach live wallpaper?
What about wireless tethering? Is the Froyo version there and does it work if it is? Or did Sprint take it out?
Craw, let's be a little realistic here. Why would Sprint include the FREE tethering when they have a product they're selling for $30/month?
NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.

As for tethering, no Froyo one..Sprint Hotspot is there...(doesn't work with 4g though..fail)
There is a USB Tether option..but I have not tested it.
Which live wallpapers are missing? Most likely I can replace them if I back up what I have now in my epic?
Also, can you edit the tw3.0 home screen like on the fascinate? Can you edit the dock?

[Q] Is there an equalizer that works on PHONE audio?

DroidX 2.3.3 - Rooted via Pete's - LauncherPro
I bought EQUALIZER from SmartAndroidApps, and POWERAMP from MaxMP. Both do well with media audio, but neither can manipulate the telephone audio stream.
I'm hard of hearing, and would like to control telephone audio from the speaker. My current solution is external, using earbuds with a lump in the cable that houses a passive RC circuit to approximate the curve I need.
Is there an EQ app or method to do that internally, so I can use the speakerphone?
There once was a flashable zip called turn it to eleven that allowed you to exceed normal volume levels... maybe look around for that or something like it... if you are not rooted I don't think there are any options...

Tried amplifying the sounds with something like wave pad or MP3 gain, then putting them back?
I always amplify mine with wave pad, then put them in the media folder of my sd card, that way I don't have to use root explorer every time to put them back in system sounds whenever I flash another nightly.

using root explorer, they are in system/media/audio/ringtones. They are .ogg. You may have to convert them before amplifying them. I would rename them and put them on the sd card, in media/audio/ringtones. Wave pad may convert them, or free make. Both are free. Good luck, let me know how it goes, any questions just ask.

Flashing nightly should overwrite them, I know it did with my ringtones, that's why I started just putting them on the sd. Overwrites boot animation too, I gave up on changing that every time.

What I really need is to apply EQ to telephone (incoming voice) audio.
I can do it externally via the 3.5mm audio jack, using an active equalizer. Bulky. It would be great to do it inside the phone.

i would highly recomend the dsp manager because it equalizes your application and music audio output, your speaker output , and you can control bluetooth settings as well. I personally think its better than any of the paid apps that you can get. i also dont get why someone hasnt posted a link for thDSPManager.apk but i will post one for you and everyone else.

[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.

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.

Enable built in music channel(ROOT)

if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.
Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!
Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!
Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.
Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.
Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...
This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?
For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.

Can you designate certain apps to bypass fingerprint security while in use?

All,
Does anyone know if there's a way to make it when using the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge so that when I'm using a certain DESIGNATED app that the phone would let me BYPASS fingerprint security as long as I'm using that designated app?
For example, let's say I start listening to music on my S7 Edge using the Poweramp music app. While the app is playing my music, let's say the screen turns off (or I turn it off). When I push the Power button in order to wake the screen back up, if I'd selected Poweramp to be a designated app, the phone would skip the fingerprint security measure altogether and just unlock itself.
IS there a setting that can make this happen? If not, is there an APP that can do this?? Please let me know. It would just be nice like when I'm driving if I didn't have to deal with the extra security measure.
Thank You,

Maybe you could just use the inbuilt feature smart lock? Don't think you can use it for specific apps though it.

mklass,
What do you mean? How do I get to that?
Well if any developers reading this think they can create an app that would accomplish this, please feel free to do so. I would DEFINITELY pay for such an app if one was ever made.
Thanks!
Well I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment and there's a feature called smartlock in settings.
It allows you to bypass security based on certain things like location, if your phones in your pocket, if you connect to a Bluetooth device or a WiFi connection.
I have pattern lock on my phone but as soon as I get home and connect to my WiFi it bypasses my secuiry and I don't have to enter my patten lock, same when I get in my car and connect to my Bluetooth car system.
I think what you're asking for is a custom lockscreen app that will allow you to black list certain apps so that if the app was the last app used before the screen turned off, the lockscreen app would either auto unlock or ask for the security pin check.
It's possible you maybe able to do such a think using Tasker once you can root the s7e.
Tasker can enable and disable the lockscreen depending on what app is in the foreground and so if your music app is active, then Tasker will disable the lockscreen, which when your screen turns off, there will be no lockscreen when you turn it on next, and if you activate an app not on your tasker conditions list, then Tasker will re-enable the lockscreen again (accessibility & root required for sure).
but of course you will need to know that your phone security won't be as good.

Oh ok. I know exactly what you mean now, and yes, the S7 Edge DOES have that feature. I don't have bluetooth in my car so I'm not sure how I do it.
There is a Smartlock option called On-body detection that keeps it unlocked as long as it feels it's being held or is kept upright, but when it is laid down it locks up. Problem is, when I lay it down and let the screen turn off, it still doesn't lock the phone. Ughh!

Thanks for that info. That sounds like what I'm looking for, but if it requires a root, I'll have to pass. lol I rooted my HTC One M8 a couple years ago, and it was kinda cool at first, but it's not worth the headache. I really wish someone would make an app that would do what Tasker does but NOT require rooting. Oh well.

Neutron can bypass the lockscreen
Edit: picture added. And it only lets you access neutron, you'll have to input you fingerprint to access any other app. I much prefer neutron to Poweramp for quality and depth of customization too.

I really wish someone would make an app that would do what Tasker does but NOT require rooting. Oh well.

yeah root does have its negatives, but the option is yours to just change only what you need, applying root doesn't change anything on your phone instantly, it just unlocks the doors, its up to you if you want to open any of them

squallz506,
Yeah? Ok. Someone in another forum last week (Head-Fi) said to try Neutron too. I read it wasn't as user friendly as Poweramp, but sounded better supposedly. I really love Poweramp, but I guess now I have 2 reasons to give Neutron a try.

Edit: picture added. And it only lets you access neutron, you'll have to input you fingerprint to access any other app. I much prefer neutron to Poweramp for quality and depth of customization too.

is it the actual main Neutron music app screen interface? or is it a lockscreen widget of the app? I'd say disabling the lockscreen would be pretty impossible for a non superuser app. if in fact it is possible, then hopefully tasker could be coded to do the same

It's not as user friendly because it's for professionals. You can literally get lost in the settings. The developers are amazing, its updated often. If rich features and customization are important to you then it's the best music player for you. And afaik it's the only app that can load it's UI before the lockscreen, music player or otherwise.
Edit: and yes it sounds better and is infinitely more tunable than Poweramp. It's the only media player with 64bit decoding. Really, if you're serious about music then get it and spend some time learning about the settings. The possibilities are endless.

It's the entire app. Music library, settings, and all.
Can I download music and just dance

sonhy,
I just tried Neutron and it WORKS!!! I applied the "Lock Screen" setting (I don't want Wake Lock b/c it will keep screen on forever, and Power Lock keeps it on if it's plugged in, which I don't want either).
Only thing is, is it known to be buggy? I heard the UI wasn't as good as Poweramp's but that it sounds better, but twice in the last 10 minutes the app froze on me. Not 100% I will keep it but maybe.
Thanks so much again!!

I haven't had any stability issues. Are you on the eval version? Maybe it was searching for music in the background.

No I got the full paid version a while ago but never really used it. I'll give it more time, but it does what I wanted it to........... it comes up IN FRONT OF the fingerprint scan request on the lock screen. It's not bypassing it, but getting in front of it is basically the same thing. Very cool!
The UI actually isn't that bad once you give it a chance. I need to spend more time with it though, and I would like to compare it with Poweramp for my own knowledge. I've always been interested in music (I play guitar as well). But I have in the last 15-16 mos gotten really into Hi-Fi listening......... including Hi-Res music, using a premium amp/DAC (the Oppo HA-2), and premium headphones as well (the AKG K553). I HIGHLY recommend both! I'd tried the HA-2 against other devices that cost twice as much, and it sounded just as good as them. The K553 I'd pitted against like $400 headphones, and it sounded BETTER than all of them!
With the HA-2 in the mix, I'm not AS concerned about the sound quality of the app on headphones, although the sound is better when I use the better apps vs. like the stock player. But in my car, I'm not using the HA-2, so the greater the sound quality the better!
2 questions for now..........
1) Does 64-bit processing REALLY make a difference? I will test it myself but still good to hear other's opinions.
2) Is there an option like what Poweramp has where Neutron will stop playing when a phone call comes in, and then resume once the call ends? If so, where exactly is it?
Thanks!

1) with your setup it should be noticeable. I use ath-m50x's with a fiio k1 when I'm at home and klipsch x11's when I'm out and I can hear differences in both.
2) that's the default behavior AFAIK, idk if it's tied to a setting.

Ok great!
Sounds like a pretty good setup!
Ok I'll test it out tonight perhaps and see if I notice a difference. First I want to compare Neutron to Poweramp. I'll keep 64-bit on for that because I wanna hear how they both sound when at their BEST settings. (EQ will be off on both.)
Ok awesome! Does it also stop when the GPS speaks in the car? I kinda prefer it NOT to stop (Poweramp lets you decide this), but if it does, that's fine.
Thanks!
