[Q] Changing the Unlock Sound on the Galaxy S4 i337 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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

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

[AOSP Unlock] Is it possible to add sound byte?

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.
Sent from my Epic 4G on XDA App
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?
Sent from my Epic 4G on XDA App
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!

[Fixed] Removing camera shutter speed for Aussie Note 3 (requires root)

Firstly, just to address some of the "fixes" that have been offered in in this forum:
Muting volume or setting sound to silent
Doesn't work.
Renaming/removing "shutter.ogg" from system/media/audio/ui
This doesn't work as the sound files is embedded in the camera apk.
Adding <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu> into "others.xml"
Doesn't work. This enables the menu option in the camera app but does not permit the setting to be changed.
Wanam Xposed or Enforcedstreamsilencer
Neither works.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, the only surefire way I've found to kill the shutter sound is to replace the audio files that are actually embedded in the stock camera apk with silent versions of the same files. I've modified the apk to remove all sound except for the ticking in the camera timer (which I think is actually useful) and the panorama mode start/stop sounds. Happy to upload another modified one with all sounds removed if there's interest.
Unfortunately the file is too big to attach to XDA forums and I don't have permission to link externally so you'll have to copy and paste the short URL below to get it from my SkyDrive.
sdrv.ms/16gFVqc
To install the apk you will need root access to your phone and a file manager that can access root functions. Do the following:
In your file manager navigate to system/app path and locate "SamsungCamera2.apk"
Rename it something else like "SamsungCamera2.apk.bak"
Copy over the modified apk into the same location
Make sure the permissions of the new file are the same as the original
Enjoy (no need to reboot)
Note that I'm not responsible if your phone and/or camera breaks, bricks or gains sentience and chokes you in your sleep. I'm not a android developer, just a desperate guy who wanted to use the stock camera quietly for non-perverted, non-nefarious reasons (trust me) and I've only confirmed that it works with the Aussie Note 3. Anyone else use at your own discretion.
Trying it out now, This has been driving me nuts for the past couple of days,
The Auto Focus sound is just way too loud.
I'll let you know how it goes !

You Sir are a Legend!!!.
Confirmed Working!!!:victory:
I tried it and camera finally shut up . For some reason, this got rid of the "processing....." delay after every shot as well. Very well done. Thank you:good:
Hi all,
What worked for me was editing the customer.xml in the csc folder.
Navigate down to <camera> and then change
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
to
<ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound>
save and then restart phone.
Now when the phone is in silent mode no camera sound.
This also fixes wanams no camera sound even if phone isn't in silent I believe.
Worked for me on my optus branded N9005
Hope this helps in some way.
Worked for me with SM-N9005. Perfectly mute focusing sound and shutter sound.
Brilliant work !

Gave this a try. Totally works on my Aussie unbranded N9005.
So it looks like there are now two confirmed methods of muting camera sound:
If you want to be able to mute sound by turning the volume down, then do choppiii's method
If you want to permanently mute the sound (in case you forget to turn the volume down, which I would probably do) then use my method to replace the camera apk.
Hooray choices!

Hi,
Replaced apk. Starting camera from the drawer keeps it quiet. However if you have lock screen swipe to left to enable the camera then shutter sound is there. Weird. Anyone else?
Also changing mode let say for sport mode brings sound back again for me.
Renaming /system/media/ui camera related sound files seems to help to this issue..
I tried all the listed methods on my aus note 3 from vodafone. The only one that worked was the choppiii method. It let the system mute stop the camera shutter sound. I stil want a working menu option.
Samsung really know how to upset me. I rooted this device specifically to get rid of that sound.

Hi...
Instead of adding
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Into the others.xml add
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
In other words add true not false...
I can't confirm if this works or not as I'm running omega rom and it already has it enabled...
Let me know how it goes....

TRUE made the settings entry show but it is not changeable.
do i need to root my fone for this?
(getting rid of the auto focus sound /and or shutter sound)
try "a better camera" from app store. no root needed and works for me. photo quality and function as good if not better then stock camera...now its my replacement camera app.

" a better camera " did the trick. Thanks.
I don't have root to install the fixed Samsung camera apk. I tried the new Google camera from android 4.4 but it has sound too. Could you make an apk for the Google camera from android 4.4 without sound?
does this app make the camera faster?
i don't have root.
if i try to install it anyway does it works?
thanks.
a better camera is not so good, even camera fv5 is the same.
i really would like that samsung make more accessible compensation and iso metering in the stock app...it takes too much time to enter in setting.
is not so difficult mother samsung...cmon!
camera shutter sound is gone for me, thanks!

see above. "a better camera" from google play. worked for me, i actually like it better then stock. the only downside is not being able to record 2160 videos, but who needs it anyway...
"Camera awsome" works for me too. better then "a better camera" but its a paid app.

[Q] Note 3 Shutter sound set off Focus can't

Hi guys.
Need to say I looked 2 days to clarify that problem through topics but could not.
I have samsung galaxy note 3 unlocked international . SM-N9005
I rooted the phone I am able to access system folders.
So i see camera sounds stuff is located under
/system/media/audio/ui
the files I believe related to my problem are (at least I opened all others and did not find any more focus/shutter sounds) :
Auto_focus.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_click_short.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
I changed their filenames. And -
I was able to mute shutter sound. BUT focus sound is still on !!
I tried to move that darn sound files to other folder - all in vain.
Yes I restarted and shut down the phone.
Also the app that does mute system sounds when camera is on does not work for me. When my phone is on mute that freaking camera still produces noise.
So to recap. Shutter sound turned off by changing media filenames. Focus still on.
Any ideas??

Have you figured out how to turn off the focus sound? I was able to turn off the shutter sound by renaming those two files but I still cant find the shutter sound files >.<

nope. so I read some more info and looks like camera sounds are hardcoded in camera.apk
Hence you may rename delete whatever you want but on this version sound still be on.
Other camera applications I have installed do not produce any sounds.
Add this to your others.xml in system/csc
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot and there will be a sound option in camera settings where you can just silent all sounds.

All these problems are coming from the CSC you are using. ie XEF (France). It's a build feature in the camera APK itself to match the laws. Try changing your CSC(ie CHINA for me) if you want to be able to disable camera sound without rooting and/or changing system files. It worked for me.

Check my thread, the last post. Download the file, unpack it and copy mp3 to sd card/audio/notifications or sd card/amedia/notifications. If such folders don't exist, create them. I'm not shure which od these two paths will work, try both.
Then go to the settings, sound>system>notification sound and choose silent mp3, it should be there. If not, add it with the + sign in the upper right corner.
You can also find silent ring.ogg file and copy it to the sd card if above method with mp3 doesn't work.
Hey thanks for your reply . But didnt solve anything , this made notifications silent for everything (ex whatsapp) while also still playing the "life is good" for ussd notifications :banghead:
