Could anyone dump the stock unmodified /system/media/audio folder for me?
My sounds got messed up after trying to add my previous ogg files and I'm trying to restore it and see what I did wrong to mess this up.
I was hoping to get the list of all the original sounds and maybe someone could upload them in a zip file here.
Thanks!

Ty Sir!
I derped with my sounds too. Thanks for putting this up!
Where you able to fix yours?? Still running into the same issue with them not working even when I copy the ogg files to the correct folder.
They copy fine and show in sound settings but they won't play but a default chime

The files copied, and I'm still tinkering with permissions that possibly need to be aligned, but nothing plays on the device. File sizes match up with what I saw previously, but Google Play returns with "Couldn't play the track you requested."
Same here... Tried to give it full perm but that didn't work.
Interestingly the same files will play perfectly if moved to another folder...
I'm really hoping not to have to wipe!!!

I got it! Not only is it the file permissions, but the folder permissions have to be correct too. I found the audio folder needs drwxr-xr-x, the alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui need drwxr-xr-x, and then the sounds themselves need -rw-r--r--. It's one by one, but I've successfully gotten lock, unlock and effect tick under the UI folder working again.
Good luck!
U tha man!!!!!
That did the trick.. Actually only needed to change permissions on files.. Folders were still setup fine.
I ended up ssh into the device and chmod 644 * under each folder after enabling to on the system folder.
2min fix!!

This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:
CDMA Hero - 1.5
CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1
CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1
Motorola Stock
Samsung Stock
There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety!
Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!
Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!
Updates:
Included additional sounds from here
Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files

There is no need to put the files in /system/
You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.

I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.
This is the only way I've found that works completely.
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.
Gregalous said:
I have created a collection of notifications, ringtones, alarms, and general UI sounds from every ROM that I have ever used (1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 w/ & w/o Sense) all into one folder. This gives you a huge amount of choices for ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
The .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/
Give it just a second (as there are quite a few of them) and when it's done copying it will tell you. Reboot once finished.
I did not do an update.zip because quite honestly it's much faster and easier to do it through ADB.

Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.
Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

Woops! Fixed now, thatnks for pointing that out!
system has some limited space thats why i would recommend not putting it there.

Im sorry but i tried to do it your way and you're right they don't show in the music app but i cant find them anywhere on the phone.
PS: I know how to push files and it did

You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.
Did you reboot after pushing?
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.
I humbly admit that I was wrong This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.
First post edited with new directions and .zip.
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. You're the man!
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|
Ideas?
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.

Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??
in case anyone is having trouble with this, there is a very clear post on how to do this here:

Updated, nearly 200 sounds in this package now
Now in update.zip format, super easy!
Cool thanks... Will give it a try...
Thanks for posting this.
So I pretty much have the custom boot animations figured out... It seems to work whether I put bootanimation.zip in /data/local or /system/media no problem... but the one thing I can't figure out is how to get a sound to play. I've tried every combination I can think of... boot.mp3 in the zip file, android_audio.mp3 in the zip file... tried the zip without the mp3, just placing the mp3 in the same directory as the zip (and also tried both names that way, in both directories stated above).
Is there something I'm supposed to add to the desc.txt file? What am I missing?? The only info I can find for the Eris is just "put a boot.mp3 in the zip file" which is just not working...
I am almost ready to explode...
Any help?? It would be much appreciated!
You cannot use sound using the bootscreen.zip. You have to use the old method. Search for Stock bootscreen w sounds, In the Eris dev forum.

You could check out my rom. It has the nexus boot screen with the mac bong sound.
Alright, I searched a bit more and had no luck with the .xml (stock) method... It just simply doesn't acknowledge it. It works fine using the bootanimation.zip method (well, no sound of course), in either location as stated above, but if I remove/rename them and try the /system/media/bootscreen location with .xml, .gif, and .mp3 files, it completely ignores them. I copied the exact file structure from the CookieRom and got nothing.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Like maybe some sort of switch that says "LOOK HERE FOR BOOT ANIMATION" or something?
I've even tried taking the /system/bin/bootanimation file from Cookie and replacing mine with it, but then it doesn't even run.
There has to be something simple I'm missing and I just have no idea what it is...
FYI I'm using a non-Sense ROM if that makes any difference...
Anybody??
Anyone...? Bueller...?
i am just a puzzled about this. If you get it figured out.... lets us know!
You need to take the boot animation from a rom like cookie rom or damaged tazz, that have sound enabled. It usually in in the system/bin folder. Put in into the rom of your choice and then flash the bootanimation.zip file and it should work. That's what I did and it worked for me...DROID

Hey anyone know of an awesome looking jarvis boot animation, ive got my phne set up like jarvis and this is the last step im issing the one i saw for the s4 wasnt as nice as i hoped. there is a nice one for S3 but does anyoine know of one i missed anuwhere
Why don't you try and make one yourself. They're not that hard, especially if you can find the animation you like. Just download a bootanimation.zip, extract it and see what's inside. It'll be pretty self explanatory what you need to do. If you have questions I can help you.
Edit, if you have a link to the s3 one you like let me know. I'll download and let you know what you need to get it to work on the s4.

Double click on the part00, part01, and part02 just to see what's inside them. The only file you need to change is the desc file, double click on that too. the 720, 1280 is the display resolution of the s3, the s4 is 1080, 1920

Instructions for manual installation :
(Take a backup , just in case , not needed actually, ive tested all files) (Make sure you have enabled custom bootanimations , IF not go here - Enable Custom Bootanimations Hit thanks to the dev there)
1.Download manual installation files, rename file to bootanimation.zip
2.Copy files to phone.
3.Backup your current bootanimation from system/media folder and your Poweron.ogg file from system/audio/ui using Root Explorer or other root file managers ,
4.Copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder and Poweron.ogg file to system/audio/ui folder , Mount R/W (make it writable) , overwrite the files, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot and Enjoy !
5.Dont forget to hit the thanks button !
confused on the bold part there....
also there is no poweron.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui folder
i just realized i orgot to check if i have custom boot neabled will that cause problems.....

Do you have a file manger like root explorer ot anything? You'll need to change the permissions to rw-r-r of the zip file you put in /system/media
Just put the *.ogg file in, not sure the sound will work or not on the s4
Edit, also make sure the file you copied to /system/media is re-named bootanimation.zip

My phone is rooted, I can successfully write to /System/media/audio/ui. I have created my own .ogg files. They play on the phones media player just fine. Once I place them into the /System/media/audio/ui directory they no longer can be played. What might I be doing wrong. I am trying to change the water drop sound when pressing the back button. I realize I can turn it off, but I want to actually change it.
I would also like to note that when I move the .ogg files out of the /System/media/audio/ui directory they begin to be playable again.
They have the exact same name including capitol letters, the same permissions, and still not working after a reboot? Can you play the files with the stock music player?

I can play the files until I move them into the system directory. While they are in the system directory they will not play. When I move them back into other directories they play. They do have the same names. Permissions I didn't think to check or look into. I will have to check the permissions of the files I am creating.
Permissions were the issue. I changed the permissions and now everything works. Thank you.

One sound I can't seem to find is the unlock sound. I see the unlock.ogg but that doesn't seem to be the actual sound that is being used to unlock my Note 3. I've listened to all the system sounds yet can't seem to find it.
So something weird happened to me. I was trying to replace the unlock.ogg system sound with root explorer to a custom sound I made. unlock.ogg was the only modification I made.
well for whatever reason none of my OGG system sounds work now like the low battery warning, putting it into standby, or even the att sound when it boots up. I checked the files, they're all there. i even restored them from a backup zip i downloaded.
so wtf? any ideas?
i also tried doing a factory reset. didnt work.
Any one got a link to the stock firmware? I can flash it back to oem firmware to restore the system files.
