Question on how to change a sound?

I want to change the sound that the phone makes when you adjust the volume and it goes BEEP...
I can't seem to find it in the system/media/ui...
I then went into QtADB and used the logcat, and tried to locate the file. I found the sound file and it says this:
getActualDefaultRingtoneUri : content://media/internal/audio/media/62
Uri.parse(uriString) : content://media/internal/audio/media/62
sendVolumeUpdate VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION streamType=2
Can anyone tell me where this media/internal/audio folder is?
When I go into system/media folder all that's available is an audio and video folder.
Thanks

Not to be a pain but this is really bugging me I really wanna know where this file is at... Anyone??? I know there is someone here that knows.

B324 - Media playback, low volume FIX

Hi all!
As you know the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 output volume is not the highest among smartphones. This will be a problem is you choose a headphone, that requires more power for adecuate volume levels. Had the same problem on my Ascend Mate 1, the solution was in etc\audio\codec folder.
Was able to locate the two files for my region (Hungary), by removing these two files or moving it back to the codec folders (restart is required after that) rises or lowers the output volume significantly:
ascend_JAZZ_ULCA_ce.xml
ascend_JAZZ_ULCA_normal.xml
After looking up Android Hilfe P7 forum I found the best solution. Big thanks to the user "XQC" he found the rows I was looking for.
So with Root access I edited the two files and made the following modifications:
Line 231 <reg name="HI6401_S4_OL_GAIN_INT">0dB</reg>
Line 232 <reg name="HI6401_S4_OR_GAIN_INT">0dB</reg>
Line 279 <reg name="HEADSETL PGA VOLUME">0dB</reg>
Line 281 <reg name="HEADSETR PGA VOLUME">0dB</reg>
The original values are negative values. After you save the changes to the files need to restart to hear the difference. This will only increase the media playback volume in theory, I had problems with high incoming ringtone volume with removing the files, but now it is good.
UPDATE:
B560 - Media playback, low volume FIX, without root (unlocked bootloader)
By the time I am writing this update it is not impossible, but it is problematic to gain root access on ROM version B560. To do the same "low volume FIX" I found a solution that works the same:
You need:
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.0.2-0 for Mate7 / Android 6.0
- 7-Zip on a PC
The process:
Flash the before mentioned custom recovery. In TWRP do a backup on the system partition without compression and md5 check. Copy the backup file of your system partition (.img file) to your PC. Rename the files extension to "tar" and open it with 7-Zip. When opened navigate to the codec folder. When you find the 2 files responsible (see original post) right click and edit them (see original post), when you finish save the files and update the archive. Rename the files extension back to "img" and copy it back to your phone. Restore the system partition in TWRP. Done, you should have the same effect, no volume limitation on the audio jack (needed for high impedance ear phones).
IMPORTANT! Before you edit your system partition file in 7-Zip, make a copy of it just in case!

this mode work great with orginal box headphones from huawei mt7. I try and its louder and good for me. Thanks
Here you have modded file

Just been looking at this with my Mate 7. How do you know which file to alter? As in, region?
I've set my location from US to AU in buildprop.
Pretty sure mine will just be an international setting for Australia so I did it to the default file instead. Does seem louder. I had raised AGC and bumped gain up with ViPER4Android but now set back to 0 in that. Still loud
It can actually make me feel a little uncomfortable after a couple of songs. Have to check in car sound level but on headphone it's not distorted, just loud.

Dude i love you

Update
Workaround for ROM version B560, without root but with unlocked bootloader.

Thanks a lot for the tip, it works very well on B571. Very happy

Glad to hear! I updated to B571 after I made the modification on B560 without root (needed to flash back stock recovery).

Fix for mic-problem with CM 13

I had the problem with my s5 running cm 13, that the mic voume was very low. So i searched for a fix but didn't really found something but that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/fix-low-microphone-volume-kitkat-t2930748
There it is eyplained how to increase the mic-volume for the sony xperia m2.
That's how you can do it with the S5:
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage. Do it on your own risk!
1. download for example file Manager and activate in the settings the root settings (root Explorer and writeable)
2. go to /System/etc
2. save the file "mixer_paths.xml" if you do any mistake
3. open the file with the editor and scroll down to line (half of the page) <!-- Recording Scenario -->
4. Change the values u need to to i.e.: 899:
An exampel:
Code:
<ctrl name="DEC2 Volume" value="899" />
5. Save the file and reboot.
Now the microphone must be louder. You need to look which value is the best, i am using the value 899. When i tryed a higher value the mic doesn't work.
Hope i could help you! Please correct me if i am wrong with something!
My modified mixer_paths.xml file:

Well done JM
Very nice post as my Student. Hope there will be some new posts in future :good:
See u in school in Monday

How to REALLY increase your Honor 7 maximum volume

I've seen a lot of methods posted here, none of them is really working. The easiest and most effective way is this one. (Headphones only)
You need a rooted device and a file manager with root access.
Go to root\cust\hw\eu\prop and open local.prop with an editor. Search for the "ro.config.ce_authenticate=1" line and add a # before it. Save the file.
Now go to root\etc\audio\hi6402 and look for the "mixer_volumes_PLK_L01_ce.xml" file, and for the "normal" version of it. Delete them both. You may want to make a backup of them, in case you want to return to the previous situation. Now look for the two "PLK_TL" mixer files and rename them both. Change "TL" with "L01".
Basically you're tricking your honor 7 into taking the asian variant values for the audio, so you'll get the full audio output of that model.
Reboot and you're done.
Volume is MASSINGLY increased. Viper4Android will optimize the quality and make it sound even louder. Please don't listen to your music at maximum volumes for a long time.
If this is useful to you please say thanks

Flashable .zip
I just quickly made a flashable .zip that replaces a few values in the two files,
so that you don't need to do any tinkering whatsoever , just flash it
Since i cant seem to attach the file i had to upload it to somewhere else (Mega):
mega.nz/#!MFIBFbaD!lYOS81U3KR-IOnYwB5WUrND4A0Pwut2aIrV1N95Rag4

Ned decryption key for download

Just get Dolby Atmos?
Sent from my PLK using XDA-Developers mobile app

Whoops sorry, didnt know you needed that (First time i actually shared something with mega...)
well, heres the link with the key:

Hello it possible do the same for the phone speaker? When I receive a call most times I don't ear the phone playing even volume is in maximum.

Thanks for the guide

Question: Involving Changing Sound Files

I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 I tried using ES File Explorer to change the System/Media/Audio/Ui sound files. Some sound files worked and some didn’t (format can’t be read ). I was wondering if each separate sound file is limited to how long it can be or if it can’t play files passed 93DB or say use the same sound for all the Camera functions (start/stop/click). I changed the db to 93 for all my mp3 files converted them to ogg and renamed them to the appropriate name to overwrite the existing file. I ended up replacing the original sound files back onto the phone since I am not 100% sure if I changed the right sound files and some just didn't work.
The only sounds I want to change are the low battery, lock, unlock, power on, volume control, and the back/task manager/touch buttons which all have the same sound. I believe the files are: Lock.ogg, LowBattery.ogg, Poweron.ogg, TW_Volume_control.ogg, Unlock.ogg. I think the back/task manager/touch buttons are S_HW_Touch.ogg and TW_Touch.ogg, but not 100% sure. For example does Lock.ogg have to be less then 1 second if not format can't be read? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
