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.

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.

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.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5936137&postcount=3236
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.
I posted this all int eh captive section >.< but thought I would put it here in case the other vibrant users would like to know this...
I found the hard way of change the startup sound and shutdown sound, which can be confusing, but i'll try to explain (this is after you have root)
1) went into Astro and copied the file from etc called PowerOn.wav to my SDcard as backup
2) found a wav file I wanted to change for power on and named it PowerOn.wav and stored it on the root of my SDcard
3) downloaded terminal emulator from market
4) when I launched, superuser permissions granted it SU access
5) type the command 'su root' (without the ' of course)
6) then type the command 'cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /etc/PowerOn.wav' and hit the enter key
This changed mine to a cooler "system activating" wav file I found...this was my way and it worked, but would much rather know the simpler version of How to grant Astro superuser permissions.
PS I used Audacity to convert my mp3 to wav and ogg files...in case anyone wants to know a free software
Shutdown Video:
I think you can change the shutdown video by adding custom PNG files in the /system/media/video/shutdown folder, but I haven't tested yet...i'm trying to figure out what I was going to do for the video (has to be 14 PNG files...or 14 of them all named the same thing).
I'll be testing soon and letting you know if this works.
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!
I was able to create 14 PNG images and copy them from my SDcard to the /system/media/video/shutdown folder and now I have a new shutdown video...anyone have a sight I could upload the new shutdown PNG files too? I have a couple different ones I created...really basic, but a little nicer than the T-mobile default one.
EDIT...AGAIN: And the new shutdown video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t83uQZqAPDw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzPorxuJ6n4
Anchor reply for future information on this...possibly some shutdown videos
couldn't you just use root explorer and put the new wav file in the place of the old one with the same name? This is how I changed my boot animation. I'll try your way if mine doesn't work.
Thanks for this.
hey can you zip your shutdown file and give it to me without the sound? it looks badass, and the axura is pretty homo right now.
also are you sure this will work for vibrants?
my startup i changed from sdcard/system/media/...
Vibrant using simply honey 2.8
Im tryn to add a boot sound an cant figure it out please help there was no boot sound to begin with.. i made PowerOn.wav an tryed in system/etc and then tried media then ui nothings working am i naming this wrong or what Please help me out some on! pm me
Hi since I rooted my N7, I wanted to customize it more by adding custom ringtones, I put the ringtones in /system/media/audio/notifications & in /system/media/audio/ringtones with the help of ES File Explorer, but the ringtone files don't play(By don't play I mean I can select the ringtone from the apps settings and it shows up in the list of default ringtones but it doesn't make any sound). I've rebooted my N7 but still nothing. How do I solve this problem?
I should also mention that the ringtones are in ogg format and the names are as follows
Facebook Pop.ogg
Gmail Voice Call.ogg
Google Voice Ding.ogg
Hangout Ding.ogg
They do play with vlc on windows and with play music on N7. but just not when selected with the app or in ES File Explorer.
Oh I forgot to mention they do show up when selecting a notification/ringtone.
Any help will be most appreciated thanking in advance.
Should I clear some sort of cache? I read somewhere if you clear the system cache it solves the problem. But I don't know how to clear it from where.
Can somebody advice me on how to go about this? I've searched the forum and I can't seem to find any information on this subject, I know its would have been asked/discussed before.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The standard place for adding custom tones are /sdcard/Alarms, /sdcard/Notifications and /sdcard/Ringtones
I'd put them in there, then they are available irrespective of what ROM you install.
As to your specific problem - check that you set the permission on the files properly when you copied them to /system/media

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!

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!!
How do I disable the camera shutter sound?
I'm rooted, so I already went to /system/media/audio/ui and deleted cam_snap_0.ogg as well as camera_click.ogg. Usually, that does the trick - but not with this phone, it seems.
Do these files exist in multiple locations? Does the camera app have a different file in its own directory?

Well, sure, but there isn't always time, and you won't always remember to take the extra step. I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
I can always use another camera app, but at this point, I'm also curious to know if there's a way to do it for the stock app.
Overwrite the sound files using the attached file (after you unzip it).
As root go into /system/audio/ui, from here you may want to first backup the files on this list, in case you want to restore the ui sounds.
File List:
Code:
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
cam_timer_1sec.ogg
cam_timer_last.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_Timer.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
continuous_shot.ogg
shot_snap.ogg
shutter_mirror_down.ogg
shutter_mirror_up.ogg
wheel_effect.ogg
Overwrite each and every one of those with the attached, unzipped file, make sure their permissions are set to 0644, and it should be totally silenced. (I think all the files might be overkill, but it covers all the bases).,
Good luck
Deleting audio files won't work, they need to be replaced.

Can I replace the files?? I dont have root!
I grabbed all the files and listened to all of them, and for what it's worth, I don't think I heard any files that matched the sound I hear in the app itself. I'm thinking that the default Camera app may provide its own sound internally. If that's true, then the question becomes whether it's accessible as a file, and if so, where is it stored.

No. Root is needed.
this was driving me nuts deleting all the files listed above and still had the camera shutter sounds.
so i followed this and copy the silence.ogg to create all those ogg files. move them to the phone. using rootbrowser, delete those same files from system/media/sound/ui then copy newly created files. close out the camera completely and reopen. this did it for me. thanks guys.
and yes you need root.
just goto my thread under themes and apps. I made a zip of every file you just paste into system and it'll be silent.

I tried the same steps and failed. Didn't stop my camera shutter sound. But it stopped my TOUCH SOUND (play sound when you touch an item on the screen). And my boot animation sound too. In the meantime I found another way with an app called "mute" and running a profile in tasker everytime the camera app opens, it toggles the MUTE app. That works for me.
An app called mutecamera will do this WITHOUT root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gun0912.mutecamera&hl=en
Tested with H990DS and amazingly it worked. Have to give accessibility permission and there is an element of trust required here.
you get 15 free shots, after that you either pay or watch ads
But finally i find a non-root solution
Another alternative is to use Open camera. Remember to enable camera 2 api functionality and then you will see the option to disable shutter sound. You will of course be using open camera in this case.
But the first option allows to use your main camera. And that is the point. I only tested it with the main camera. I have no idea about other apps like whatsapp or facebook that may use the camera as i don't use those apps.
