I have been using a lot of roms lately.. and loved everyones work over here except one big gripe I have.... I m sure lot of you might agree and disagree with me.. but I just want to throw it out there.
My issue is with boot animation sounds and ringtones.
CAN WE NOT CHANGE THE BOOT ANIMATIONS SOUNDS AND RINGTONES IN EVERY ROM AND KEEP IT STOCK.
and leave it at user selected ringtone and stock boot animations and sounds. And provide a separate .zip for boot sounds and ringtones if anyone wants, instead of giving them nobootanimation sounds.
I have flashed Viper roms couple of times and everytime I end up with these sounds which makes me look weird if the phone dies/rings/shuts down at work with default sounds.
I flashed synergy yesterday and today my phone rang at work and every one just gave me a glance like.."What do they call you....???" (due to the default ringtone)
Just a thought.. if it makes anyones life easier..
Thanks!
You don't like added ringtones, notifications, and alarms that come packaged with apps as well? I can understand the boot sounds, but not extra sounds that help you customize your phone.
And the custom boot animations are kind of the branding you have to deal with for using someone's work you didn't pay for. These developers work hard and most (essentially all) only get paid through donations. Having that boot/shutdown screen with their custom logo or image is their form of advertisement. I've had plenty of friends see my phone while it was rebooting or whatnot and ask what I was running. I've converted a few and brought them to the modding community =).
I guess I could understand where you're coming from if these developers forced us to pay for the product they deliver, but they don't.
In SRF:
Boot sounds: The sweet sound of silence. Ain't it grand?
Boot animations: Yeah, it's our logo... If you don't like it, flash another animation. If we didn't put in some kind of bootanimation.zip, you'd just get... crap. And how often do you reboot your phone, anyway?
Ringtones: The full stock library is there. But the default? It's a phone. Shocking.
If you ask me, a ringing phone sounds more normal than whatever crap Samsung defaults to.
make your own rom. Or customize the one you got... there's a secret sub forum called Themes and Apps.. don't tell anyone else about it, but you might want to check it out before somebody really rips you a new one..
kOnane that was a very classy retort nicely played

seriously, anyone that has a phone at work that doesn't have it on vibrate is an idiot. and that would solve all these issues. its called silent mode, best feature of the phone. maybe you guys are 16 (its a great time, so no offense) but other than that, ringtones and nonsense like that would be the least of my concerns.

These are all things well within the end users control. Just check your ringtone, that's not the developers responsibility. If you want download my midNIGHT ROM and just pull the extras folder out. I ported over the Rhodium ringtones awhile back. There are a ton of zips in there that should work on most ROMs. k0nane is right someone will always complain.......
My only complaint is loud, obnoxious boot sounds, which I havent heard in quite a while... Viper had a pretty crazy one a couple months back. not really a big deal, as I know we can change it, or just use a diff. rom... as far as boot animations, im all for them, and if people want to brand their work, more power to em.
I have a well used option in Startup Manager that dumps startup and shut sown sounds. It absolutely amazes me how many people think that devs should do whatever they demand. Sorry guys, but these are volunteer operations and they do what they want. If you don't like it vote with your feet...

Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it
Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!
If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).
I looked around the forum briefly, but I didn't find anything.
I'm currently on CM7 and I really don't care for the system sounds too much. Can someone running a sense Rom grab some files for me? I think you could just copy/paste them to the sd using astro. I'd like the alarm "snooze" (I sleep through cm7s buzzer sound ),the notification sound "major" (sounds like the super Mario 1up shroom), and there's a ringtone that sounds like a digital phone. I can't think of the name, but it's not the old school sounding ring.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download one of the several Sense ROMs on this site, then open the zip file, and go into the media folder and take all the sound files you want.

Duh, I should have known that. It's been a very, very long day...
I still have zips for stock and liberated Roms, will have to dig them out tomorrow.
Thanks!
Hi!
I recently became fed up of the HTC stock volume up/down sound and lock/unlock sound. So I made my own sounds, wich I think is more fitting for Android devices. The sounds are not downloaded from anywhere. It is MY sounds and I made them for you all to enjoy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With that said there is a flashable zip for you if you want to try them out, they are really really nice and in a not so distant future I am planing on making an app that can change to any sound you want, not just pre-made once. That method will be recovery free also...
I think it will work for the Desire, it is not tested though...
I have also attached the original HTC sounds if you are not fond of mine.
Hope you like the soundpackage
an old thing i made a year ago that i wanna share with you guys.
if you flash it, it'll turn your phone into a HEV suit and you can get the feel of whacking headcrabs and aliens.
well, at least it'll sound like that...
the UI tap sound is Garry's mod's tap sound, and it sounds a bit loud, maybe you can just delete it or maybe disable it i guess.
enjoy and never lose hope for HL3!
it'll work on jelly bean, kitkat and lollipop. and if it doesn't work you can just extract it and edit it manually.
will try it...
Cheers ?
Hardcore bump here but recently i came up with same idea as @muhammadbimo1.
Used more sounds from HL1 HEV and mixed it with muhammadbimo's zip. Here it is
In older android builds the phone would make sounds for fully charged, Low Battery and of course boot or a
Shutdown. I've read other people asking this question in other places and the replies of it's not needed. I respect it may not be needed. But I would really like those things back.
It use to be a snap to make a custom .ogg file and replace those sounds with really cool stuff to spice up the boot and all the other sounds.
Can anyone tell me how to do this or make a custom zip to bring these classic style sounds to our deice?
This is not an answer, but it may give you some idea as you continue your quest.

- Regarding warning for low battery, there is already a built in (Settings>Battery>Battery save mode), where you can schedule when to start from 5% and up, sound will notice you when battery is that low.
- Regarding sound when battery full charged, I can help you with a solution if you like. I found some apps, but did not like them for my own need, so I created a Tasker profile. So, you have to install the app Tasker first. I found a Tasker-profile on the web, who do exactly that you wish, and then I also added a condition that sound should only be on between 07-23 every mon - fri, and sat -sun 00-24. Sound is off between 23-07 mon - fri (not to be disturbed when you sleep at night). You can change this behavior to your own preferences of course. If you want this, I can upload it.
First of all thank you for your reply I might aswell give the apps a try. But there is more to this. I was wanting to see where the .ogg or whatever audio files used were placed or modify the zip with my own custom ones. I use to have my old LG Thrill appear as if it was talking to its owner (me) with a cylon sounding voice. If someone had a zip created to install them properly. All I'd have to do is open the zip replace the audio files with proper name and format to get exactly what I want.
