Changing the system sounds. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Ever wanted to change some of those annoying 'plop' sounds when you hit the back or menu key? Well, if you are rooted and have a file explorer, you can find them here:
system/media/audio/ui
The particular ones to look for are: S_HW_Touch.ogg and TW_Touch.ogg. I found an original Android tone to replace them with.
NOTE - I still haven't found the phone dialer tones yet. If anyone has any ideas? Let me know.

I thinks it's in the same directory. Dialer_new.ogg is what mine is.

Hmmm, don't know how I overlooked that. Thanks.
Now to find a regular dialer tone to replace it with.
EDIT: Actually that one does NOT change the dialer sounds. Just tried it.

the "click" sound......

does anyone know how to change the sound of the click when you press something???
my earphones cannot reproduce the high pitch sound of the original and is producing a very harsh static.....
any reply is greatly appreciated.
I dunno about how to change which wav file is being played (although it must be in the sound events settings page), but why don't you just replace the corresponding wav file itself?
well it is not included in the list. maybe because it is not an event to begin with. the sound i am reffering to is when for example, clicking the start button
I may have got the wrong end of the stick here, but have you looked in Settings, Phone and turned Keypad to off ?

You can change it by replacing it to any file on ur liking or even record an empty wav and replace it with.
Oh something else you have to paste the new files from the computer
Here's the wm2005 wav sounds files "copy it then paste" it to \Windows
Good luck
so i need to replace the default sound file with a sound file of my liking renamed to default.wav?
trf415,
the filename that you're after is MenuPop.wav. Replace that in the/Windows directory and that's it ;-)
@kta: That's what I said in the first place... dunno why he didn't get it :roll:
Yeah you're right MenuPop.wav changes the sound for the opening of the start menu and opening other menu's too, but what is the filename for the sound when you select a program from, let say, the start menu. The click sound.
Thanx a bunch
sorry bout that didint quite understand your post hehe
tnx to all of you
trf415, all you need to do is to go the /Windows folder on your PPC and play all the WAV files until you find the insulting one. There's not so many WAV files there, so shouldn't take you more than 5 mins!
I think Default.wav is what you're after ...

You can unmark the checkbox called "Events" in [email protected]
It takes away all the clicks, except for example when you are in Power settings and click the shortcut links (backlight, beam) on the bottom.
Do they have max file size? as I'm trying to change MenuPop.wav & hwandsw.wav but only some of them can be played in my XDA 2 mini.

Screen Taps Hack? Pref. A .Cab Maybe?!?!?

Hello and good day everyone....
I was wondering and hoping there is an option to change the sound of the screen tap option on the Sprint Touch or any PPC for that matter.
Maybe like a bursting bubble noise or gun shot even? Does anyone have a way to change the OEM click sound, or better yet have a .Cab file (noob here) that would make it so I can change the "click"?
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to see what any of you come up with.
P.S. I would like to thank the members of this site for making me "love" my phone or any smartphone again for that matter. What has been developed thus far has made my use of the phone a BREEZE! Thank you!!!!
To the top....
I also want to know!
I was trying to find if there is a .wav or that makes the default tap sound, but there is no file like that in /windows. If anyone find a way to change, plz post how to do it. Thanks in advance.
hwandsw.wav in \windows\ - also possible to change others there.

But how can we replace that file with our own customized one ? It prompts "access denied, file may already be in use"
...Hmmm
I actually used Resco and was able to replace that file with one of my own....., however I'm still getting the default screen tap sound.
Use WA2 or 3

Yeah, even i used Resco Explorer to replace the file, it gives warning initially, but then does the job. About replacin' the "screen tap sound" you gotta replace one more file in Windows:\ the filename is 'MenuPop'
Replace this file as well, with your own customized one, it'll get goin'
Adieu..

Nope... will not work. That's not the right files...
The hwandsw.wav and menupop.wav are the click and clucks you hear when tapping.
You might even try unchecking the screen taps under settings - sounds and notifications to disable the sounds.

Have someone found a solution on how to change the screen tap sound on Touch?
I have changed the files mentioned above, but same sound when tapping screen.
I have a HTC Touch, slow device, i think a shorter sound with lower bitrate would make the tapping more responsive.
Turn off tap and button sounds on the device.
Soft reset the device.
Go and replace both files with the new ones.
Soft reset again.
Enable the tap and button sounds again. See if new ones are playing.
If not try soft reset once more and recheck.
unfortunately it doesn't work, have tried several times now, same sound
I confirm, if you try to play hwandsw.wav, you'll see that this one is not the screen tap. tried to play another files on windows dir, but havent found the tap sound.. could the file location and name be found on some key like screentap on registry?
Cook a new rom
hey just do these with the resco registry editor
get in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\control panel\sounds\
in that u will have registry for aqll the sounds and the path..........
just change the path to your wish......
but caution just changing hex values wrongly may damage your phone seriously!!
I looked at this some time ago, even if you replace the files in the Windows directory it doesn't change the sounds as it will use what is cooked into the ROM - to get around this you'd need to do as xd1936 suggested and cook a new ROM with the WAV files you want.
Alternatively:
I came across this thread on PPC Geeks some time ago and gave it a go: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49455
It involves some fiddling around with registry settings and from memory I did get it to change screen tap sounds but it changed other sounds too (I might have been in hasty in typing out the entries)
Hope that helps you.
(Full credit to signal34on PPC Geeks for this)
Doesn't the software "Toonality" change this? I mean you can change it though that program. Search for it.

Disable WM6 Startup Sound

I auto-soft reset my Touch at 2 am.
When the title screen for WM comes up that music wakes me up...
How do I disable the WM6 Startup Sound?
Thanks!
I found the culprit = PhoneOn.wav.
I tried deleting the Key for the .wav in HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
but did not work.
I also tried to delete PhoneOn.wav with Total Commander but its protected from deletion in some way....aaaaargh!
Please help
I would like to no how to. I do the same thing.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled
Set it to 0 for off, 1 for on.

Are the registry edits you making actually getting written? Are you powering off the device after making the edits or just soft resetting?
Verify that the changes are made after booting by reviewing the entries again.

Slim,
I rebooted and the entry is getting written. I then soft reset and that darn music is still playing -- are you on a Touch (Vogue)??
thanks
This worked for me
This is what I just did, seems to work fine.
1) Use Total Commander to search for the registry key which contains sound_on.
or browse to
\HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\FlightModeOnOff\Sound_on
2) Change the content of that key from "SoundOn.wav" to "silence.wav"
3) Done.
I now get a nice and quiet soft reset. I'm using the HTC Touch / Vogue.
Leon.
Sorry dude, I am using a Tilt. I pulled the reg keys from the ROM kitchen I use to build my ROM; however, I HATE the stupid startup animation and sound, so I never cook it in to my builds.
The calls for your startup animation must be somewhere else.
Try ibloo's solution...I will look around a bit and see if I can find out why those reg edits I suggested don't work for you.

FOR HTC PURE,
Here is how to replace the annoying AT&T startup noise with any sound file of your own choice:
Edit the registry at following location:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
Change StartupWav to any other wav files.
Remember..
When you are making changes to the registry...
-exit the registry editor
-give it a good 10 seconds or so, then hit the power button (to blank the screen). This allows the registry settings to bake/get applied.
-Then, do a soft reset.
Else.. if you do it too quick, the changes may not apply/stick.

Hi Chemist
Found this one but what I really want is NO sound at all. How do I achieve that? Can I just remove the reference to the existing .WAV file or do I have to replace it with a .WAV that is empty, ie, no sound? If that is the case do you know where I can get hold of one or how I could make one?
Thanks in advance.

Here you go. Use this cab and it will give you no sound. For those that want to do it without a cab
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"StartupWav"="\\Windows\\none"

ringtone+vibration delay in a Diamond incomingcall

hello
have anyone figured out how to make the ringtone rings earlier
im really messed up with this problem i really hate it
i searched all over the place and i got few solutions and the biggest was this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109&page=2
and none of them was helpful .. please i need help
Yes, the cab works. If you want more information on what's happening, it's a registry tweak.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RegistryRingtoneScripts
Haven't tried looking for it, since the cab file "fixed" the "problem". The first ring will be "broken" as the phone wakes up and loads the phone app, but rings afterwards will sound fine.
And no, the ringtone does not have to be a wav file.
Oh, and use the "normal" file.
Well, had a look at the registry entry, and it's there. You can change your ringstyle to whatever you want by changing the script.

I prefer not to use cabs though as i like to know exactly what i am doing when tweaking and would prefer not to decompile the cab to see exactly wtf is going on!
I take it that cab replaces the wav file all together?
If you didnt want to do this you can simply go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav
and edit the name of the wav file in that key ( i added a character to its file name so it would be easy to change back if needed.)
was just looking for your post! does it work properly? the stuttering tone at the mo is a tad annoying!!

Yeah, tell me about it! What's the point of putting a startup sound if it stutters? It makes the whole device look cheap right from its first powerup.
All my cab does is replace the wav file with a tiny silent one, therefore saving precious ROM space. It works fine for me, and I've not had any complaints so far.
Where is startup tone located?
Hi
Could someone tell me which folder the startup tone is located? I wanted to replace it with my own wav.
Thanks
