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.

Did you reset the permissions of the ogg files? They should be RW-R-R.

Hm not sure. I used root explorer and set the folder and all the file to read/write for everything. Is there something else I need to do?

Each file should be set like this. Folders should be drwxr-xr-x.

This may be posted elsewhere...if so, sorry. I replaced the 2 qmg files in /system/media with the attached files. The attached files are the stock i9000 boot animations. I got them from a captivate thread.
So far they seem to work fine, but you should make a backup just in case.

Guess you have to be rooted, right?
rooted here, not working
What is the best way to copy files over? Could you give more of a noob tutorial on how to do this lol
works great! no more stupid pink crap! I a sooo excited!
The way I did it is as follows. I used root manager to copy the original qmg files to a safe place. I then mounted the phone to my computer copied the new qmgs to the sd card unmounted and used root manager again to put them in the correct place (system/media).
make sure that you extract the two files from the zip. other than that, I did it just like the above posts.
Works perfectly Thanks!!! Any idea where the sound file is? I'd like to replace that with something less "happy"

this is covered in the sticky and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731059
For some reason I am not able to copy the files with root explorer. Do I need to move the files with terminal? I've copied/move them over..but they do not appear. I have root access btw.
Working on a rooted Vibrant here. Ended up using Root Explorer to get it to work.
Now, is there a way to get rid of the pink shutdown animation?

Go into /system/media and remove bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg ... or replace them with the i9000 files from the ZIP in the post that started this thread.
Thank you!
I copied the files over with root explorer, and everything works fine, except for when the new animation plays, it's very choppy/pixelated. Anyone else?
Does anyone know how to push a modded app to the HTC Desire and make it stay?
Because obviously on the HTC Desire pushing files normally with adb push doesn't make them stay.
Anyone got a solution?
what do you mean it doesn't make them stay?
if you push a file to the system/framework then it will be there
if it's the same file as one already in the phone then it will overwrite it
is your device in recovery when writing to the system folder?
sorry if im missing something here

Well I modded the smooth calender app and made the background transparent and then pushed it to /data/app where it was.
Works fine and shows up how it should.
But then when i restart my phone, it's gone, not in the app launcher or widgets menu but it's still there when I look for it in ROOT EXPLORER.
try pushing the file to system/app

I've done that too, doesn't work.
Do I have to do it in recovery when pushing apps?
Because it lets me push apps when the phone is normally on.
the phone must be in recovery in order to write to the system
boot into recovery
remove from data/app and system/app the old file
push to system/app the new file
reboot

Won't install either, was the first thing I tried.
It needs to be signed and I've tried every guide possible on how to sign apk's but none of them work.
it doesnt have to be signed if youre pushing it to your phone
if only has to be signed if you want to be able to flash it
which is actually a good idea considering that adb push isnt working for you
if you send me or upload the file i can sign it for you and you can flash it in recovery

Thank you for the help.
And i was wondering, couldn't I just take out the apps from that zip file and add more modded apps then flash them?
good good
if you unzip the file and then re-zip you'll lose the sign
i think you can add/remove files with a zip manager without actually unzipping
however the update script included in that zip will only allow flashing to /system/app
note that if you toggle signature verification in recovery then you can flash everything signed or not, although this is not good if you are distributing files.

In the first one it says, "- edit <workdir>/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script".
Where do i get an update script from?
In the second link it doesn't say anything about making flashable zip files.
I've been to both of those websites before, done hours of searching, come back here for help but no one seems to know.
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!

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!!
Hi all! Thanks for any and all help!
Quick info: Stock ROM 4.4.2 via OTA (LS980ZVC), Rooted, Nova Launcher and Xposed Framework. I've tried flashing other ROMs and it just didn't work so I went back to stock.
I'm not too impressed with the speaker and headphone volume on my phone. I didn't buy the phone for the sound, though, so that's a good thing. However, an improvement would be nice!
I've tried both the sound mods below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482750 - Root Explorer would not allow me to copy the file from my SD card to the proper location saying "copy failed!" each and every time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542398 - I flashed this and it soft bricked my phone. I got bootlooped because of it. Is there any particular reason, other than I just don't know how to flash right? (all kidding aside!)
Is there an easy way to get one of these two to work, or am I just stuck with the sound I have?
Again, thanks for any and all help, folks!
(I posted this in the Sprint G2 help thinking it was the general G2 help.. whoops... sorry for cross posting)
If it rooted, RE should work.
Make sure you check and change permission if needed.

RE works and I can navigate to the correct folder, as well as copy/paste the old file from /system/etc/snd_soc_msm to my SD card. Moving the file from the SD card, or copy and pasting, results in "Operation failed!" and no change. Permissions are good as far as I can see?
Try Root Browser instead.

Just as a heads up, I downloaded Viper4Android FX and XHiFi, and that worked the treat to get the sound muuuuuuch more clear and tolerable from Pandora. Night and day difference, no doubt... although Pandora's bitrate isn't high, it's 100x more tolerable now.
Is there anyone out there who is still running the stock version of lg g2 24A that could pull the VerizonVVM.apk from system? I have my phone on cloudyG3 and I really don't want to have to restore all the way back to stock just for this one apk. it seems like a waste of time and internet. I just was wondering if there was anyone kind enough to take the time to do this for a fellow user.

You have yo install it using a PC , copy the .apk file and plug your phone using USB (as media sync) and paste the apk file right inside the download folder.
Next , unplug your phone , go to play store and install "astro file manager" then browse through the download folder inside your phone , and simply install the app.
I hope I helped
