Yes you can change sounds. I changed my water drop sounds to the sound of the space key on the keyboard. I used root explorer and renamed sound files I didn't like to .bak and copy and pasted space button and then renamed the file with .ogg on the end.
Sounds can be found in system/media/audio/UI

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear, ... can I make it silent. I am stock ROM ... Complete factory, & want to stay that way, can I silence it in OEM trim, Sir?

Yes just name the sound files you don't want from .ogg to .bak and that's all. If you name the file to .bak or whatever you want to name the end of file it will keep the file there in case you want to go back. If you want to go back just rename to .ogg

Or just go into Settings, Sounds, & untick screenlock sounds.
Hope this helps.

There you go, ... this one did it ... I do not know how I missed this Option in the past, but I thank you for pointing it out to me.
I tried doing it the other way, but I could not since I had not gained Root yet.
Thanks again.

How to get rid of the annoying Starup sound on Wing

Any of you T-Wing users have probably grown to hate the startup sound; I know I have. I've been fiddling around in the registry and figured out how to get rid of it:
\\HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\WAVFile
It points to the startup wav file, I just deleted the value and voila'! Soft reset, no annoying sound effect.
One could also use this to point to a sound of their choice too, I would imagine...
Hope it helps!
Ryan
Hmmm. Any idea what "Enabled" means in there? And what the effect of making that value 0 has?
Edit: Well, it worked for removing the sound, which is great. I tried to specify a new gif for the boot screen, and it still booted with the t-mobile one though. Also, tried the 0 in the "Enabled" key, and it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. :-\ If we can edit that sound, there's just gotta be a way to edit the pic. Guess I'll fish around the registry.
editing the image does work, but the t-mobile screen comes on first then your edited image comes on later on before the windows mobile startup screen. you can have animated gifs to startup also.

No settings here. Convert your mp3 file into wav. Then just copy-paste your new file in windows folder. You will find the new desired audio file in alarm settings.
Hope I was useful.
You can simply go to the "Music" Touch Flo tab and then select the lower left button "library".
Select a song and click the "Menu" button. There you will find an option to use the song as ring tone.

Get a .wav soundfile and place it in /windows folder.
Then that ringtone will appear in the alarm's tones section, choose it, and there you go

This makes the alarm sound longer, but it still only sounds once. There is no option for "make the sound repeat forever" or "repeat the sound for 2 minutes".

what about then the calendar alarms? will they go off if you disable notification sounds?
have you checked the following:
go to:
settings > menu > all settings > clock & alarms > alarms tab
click on the little bell above the time..
see if "repeat sound" is checked

it is but...
... this allows the alarm to be played only twice insteda of once
... my question was different: if i set notifications to off, will the calndar reminders play?
Download an audio editing program like Audacity and loop the file 20 times. This should do the trick.
Is it just me or is the windows mobile alarm really incompetent waking people up??
It would be nice if it could read MP3 files and play infinte times...
Looks like a bug,,,
Set an alarm by using the link on the manila home screen. Choose a sound for that alarm.
Now go settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms - alarms - tab and edit the alarm you have just set, , no sound selected, which means that the 'repeat and vibrate ' option below it isn't repeating the sound we set in the manila alarms screen. Choose a sound here and it works.
EDIT - OK, ignore the above, no it doesnt, it just plays both sounds, twice, then waits a minute then plays them again, then nothing.

[SOLVED] System waring sound

How change system waring sound?
I have fu#%ing annoying sound, like alarm clock instead default "beep" sound. I don't now what in my kitchen changing this sound (I tried everything, checked any EXT Package)
I using:
osKitchenZero 1.33.5
WM 6.5.5 bulid 23563
You can disable the alarm beep in Settings => Sounds & Notifications => Uncheck alert on system events
If you want another sound, you should replace the .wav file in the \\Windows directory that corresponds to your "beep"-sound

You couldn't find it? That's maybe because "Show all files" was unselected in File Explorer?

Volume Steps Adjustment

I don't find any "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=......" or "...... music_vol_steps=....." settings in the A7 build.prop.
I added these lines to my build.prop to increase the steps from the default (which appears to be 7) to 30, but saw no change after reboot.
Is anyone aware of where the size of the volume steps is set, so I might make the steps smaller in adjustment?
Thanks

Try and see if ro.config.media_vol_steps and ro.config.vc_call_steps works for you.

Tried it as you typed and also ro.config.vc_media_steps=30
but neither made a difference. I suspect it is set somewhere in the SystemUI where I don't have access.

I've just tested this on B08 rooted and it works are you sure you've disabled system write protection so that your build.prop changes survive a reboot?

I'm good there.
Thinking back tho, I only checked the ring tone steps from the home page (and that wasn't one of the volume adjustments made), so very like that build.prop edit DID work for what it was set for. I'll try again.
BTW, did you use the "media" or "music" entry?

'media' as the 'music' variant doesn't seem to work on newer iterations of Android any more.
ro.config.media_vol_steps=80
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=40
These settings work for me.
I just found this thread and I'd like to make this change on my phone too.
I find my phone has to go up to about 80% max volume before I can really hear things on the headphones/earbuds and at that point, it's only a couple clicks away from max volume.
I'm not very familiar with Android stuff yet, so could somebody provide me with some very basic step-by-steps on how to do this or where to find the file to change?
My phone is the US version, running B20 with locked BL but is rooted.

The suggestions in this thread only change the increments between volume steps, NOT overall volume. Good luck!

Yes, I understand this only changes the increments, but I would still like to find out how to make the change so I can have finer-grained control of the volume, even at higher levels.

It's pretty straight forward since you are rooted: use a File Manager & Text Editor to add the lines below to /system/build.prop Save & then reboot. Your option as to the number of steps.
It is always good practice to make a nandroid backup prior to making changes to give you a recovery point in the event of a mistype or other error. Goodluck
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=30

I did as suggested but it didn't seem to change anything for me.
I had to use the command to unlock system file changes first, because the change wasn't sticking after reboot at first.
I put those 2 lines at the bottom of the /system/build.prop file
Is it working properly on your phone?
Edit:: Scratch that, i was looking at the ringtone slider rather than the media/apps volume control.
Thank you!

Yep, changing ringtone steps is tougher. It takes an edit of a System UI .jar file or the use of an Exposed Module.
Glad these worked for you!
