I know that this is probably obvious but can anyone please tell me how to add other notification sounds to the N10?
Ive added a couple of ogg files to sdcard/notifications but they seem to be ignored by the Nexus!
The tablet is rooted btw. Do the files need to be added to system/media/audio/notifications?
I hate to mess with directories that are read only ( I don't want to break anything) and was wondering if anything outside /system was scanned for extra sounds!

Just install i.e. esfilemanager. When setting a notification you will be asked which tool ro use. Chose esfilemanager and point it to the wanted sound.

Thanks ingo, that's great!

Oh wait, I don't get anything asking me to choose an app!
All I have is the usual list of sounds in the settings---->sound section and all I can do is to select one of the presets. Where do I go to choose an app to do the selecting?

Hi I was trying to get the lock and unlock car alarm sounds for my lock, I tried to replace the files but no luck anyone have this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Use Root Explorer for this, make sure the files that you are using are in .ogg format and named Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg. Go to system/media/audio/ui. Replace the ones there with the ones you want and thats it.
Kool idea!

I got this from my friends iPhone lol but yes I already did what you said, but the .ogg wouldn't read

What do you mean? You made sure they were named Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg?
Yeah I did, and they didn't work, my phone just went crazy with my ring tone and damn thing wouldn't stop until I replaced with the original sound
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah you need to convert them to .ogg format. Just renaming the file wont work. I use wave pad on the pc or tapemachine on your phone.
I spent ages with the same problem... Make sure you rename, not remove, the old Lock and Unlock files. The first time I had a frustrating experience when I removed both files and my phone would play a ringtone on each lock and unlock. I found out after using audacity/ that the program I was using before didn't convert it to the right .ogg format. If anyone wants the files I have them on my computer. As cool as it was when I first did it the sounds were a bit too loud and became VERY annoying at night so my files are pretty quiet but still there. Using the program linked about you can adjust the gain to your preference.
Nice well I flashed cm 7 so I kinda gave up on it

Hi,
I'm quite eager to get the nexus 7. I do have a few questions though. Firstly, I'm planning to use it to word processing and some reports on the way home. The issue I have is that the nexus 7 doesn't have Polaris Office which is what I really want to use. Is there any way to get it and how do the alternativies stack up? Its essentials that I'm able to make and edit word 2007 documents. Secondly, is the screen big enough to do so? It seemed ok to me but just want people's opinions. Thirdly, I've heard its very rooter friendly but lets say I root.. Is it possible to get Polaris Office.. Also, any idea about when the free google play credit offer is till? This is something I really want. Lastly, I've heard there are going to be some keyboard cases for the nexus 7 but is there one already?
Thanks
Sean
Personally I wouldn't dream of using this thing for work. If you want a tab for working too you can't beat the Asus Transformer range in my opinion. This thing is clearly aimed at media consumption and does not lend itself to productivity.
But! That's just my opinion. Yours might differ. My advice is try one out for a couple of hours first. You might hate it, or love it.
You can buy Polaris office can't you? You also could use Google drive

You can't get it on the play store.. Also google drive is for storing stuff.. I need to use my tablet to edit stuff.. I have an S3 which has Polaris office but can't find it anywhere for the gaalxy nexus.. I seriously want it since its a bloody good software and the best out there..
Just look online for the APK or use your Google play store credit when you buy the tablet.

Google docs is built into drive now actually, so yeah you can create stuff and store stuff, as well as edit word documents from your pc

I haven't tried any office suites to edit things on the run, but I do use it regularly through the Citrix Receiver connection to our work servers, and that works well, so, unless you need larger DPIs or anything like that, it will be fine for business stuff.
Unfortunately, it seems that Polaris Office is licensed as OEM only on certain devices. So we cant provide any links to apks or anything, as it would be classed as warez.
Check out this thread h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085173 (Sorry, still cant post links), it compares the different Android office apps.

With a BT keyboard the Nexus 7 would work fine for editing documents. I'd suggest checking out Google Drive before purchasing a suite of office software, though. Give it a go on your PC and phone, see how it works for you and make a decision from there.

What's that suppose to mean? Why don't you use google play store? There's lots of free apps on there. The play store is the best feature of android. Also asking for pirated sites are against forum rules.

Just pull the apk from your S3 and move it to other devices. Profit.
I'm pretty sure I have polaris office backed up in titanium backup from my flyer, as I backed up everything, copied it to my PC, then wiped so I could send it off to the eBay buyer. Dunno how well it would work though as the flyer was honeycomb

Well you'll need root access on your s3 to do it. Obtaining root is different on every device so you'll have to check the s3 forums for info on how to do that and then you'll need a file explorer such as root explorer to access the files. You'll need to navigate to system/apps and the apk file will be in there. Talk the mount button on top of the screen to mount the folder and read / write, then copy it, paste it in your sd folder, and then plug the s3 in the PC, pull the file off, and then copy it on to your sd card on your nexus 7. Disconnect, make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in settings, and navigate to the file using a file explorer, tap on it and it should install it like any other app

I'm experiencing the same problem and hope someone has a helpful solution
I've noticed the volume on the Note 3 to be the same as on the 2, however the sound seems to be much better. Especially when using an external speaker via bluetooth.
Sound is better than sgs3 but it is a lot quieter. It badly needs an amp

You sure can, Viper4Android.
this works pretty good, just extract the files in the system folder and place them in the corresponding folder on your phone with root explorer, change permissions then reboot.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469463

Is this the default_gain file mod?
I couldn't find the stock file. It definitely worked on 4.1.2 touchwiz, but I can't see how it would work if there's no file to begin with.
Used to be in system/etc/ folder but for the life of me, can't find it now on 4.3

Viper4Android allows you to customize headphone sound and phone speaker sound separately just like a few other equalizer/sound mod apps do. It's available in the Play Store and it works wonders. The sound I got out of my old phone (S3) and my current phone (Note 3) with V4A made a huge undeniable difference.
Link to download the .apk and install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
It has multiple types of volume boost functions along with a great equalizer and many other useful features.

When u unzip the file preferably in root expkorer there are two folders in the file go thru them one has 2 file in it one has 1 file in it. The one that has one in it is the one u need follow the folders name that that file was in and put it in the corresponding folder in system. I know it sounds confusing I will edit this in a few I was typing this and realized I deleted the zip after moving the file.
Edit....
Move this file to system>etc>(file)

I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.
Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.
Just curious

Ahh ok. Didn't realize there was another file that controls this.
The one I remember was default_gain.conf or something like that. I used to manually edit that file to suit my needs.
Thanks for the info. Gonna try it now.
