hi there,
I wonder if there is a way (might be!!) to manage the notification sounds in my device: Note 4 / running on MM6.0.1
- The drop sound is a desaster, and I want to delete it definitely!
- Would like to have full control on "notification" sounds which I partially do but mainly on the " system "sounds
- the phone keyboard
- the opening & locking the screen,
Wonder where is hidden this water drop soud file in the system..!!
Seems there are different (a bunch of) versions of water sound files in the system, and I want to destroy all of them!!
Thank you for your help....
If your phone is rooted, you can find all of them in system/media/audio. You can delete the audio files that you dont like if you want.
Yes rooted.
I added there some sound files that I want to use, and I am using them for some apps..
Added them before rooting..
But the water sound files are not there...
The sounds used by the sysstem sd be hidden somewhere else..
I think it's the TW_Touch.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui.

Hi all, HELP!!!
I have just spent 4 weeks setting up my phone, i have everything just as i want it.
But i noticed today when i received some txt messages it was silent, now when i select any sound for anything, ie events or ringtones its just silent, i hear nothing???.
If i move the volume slider i here the ping sound of the volume changing, so there is sound.
Now, if i go to the all settings menu, and try to assign a sound in the windows menu, when i click on a sound it shuffles through the entire list and stops back where it was in a second, almost like it cant find the sounds or something weird is going on???
Now this happened once before, and i restored using a SPB backup, but this time i have overwritten my backup with this before i realized what had happened.
Whats going on??????
Update, when i select a ringtone from the menu, and select it, when i go back on the menu it says ringtone "none"
???
I'm also having a similar issue with my HD2 (using 1.61 WWE rom).
The phone rings when I receive an incoming call but not when I get a txt. I can select a tone in Settings - Sound & Display - Notification Sounds and it will play the demo. My settings are saved but it just doesn't make a noise when I get a txt.
Any clues, anyone?
No this is different, i have no sounds at all, no ringtones, nothing, its as if they are just not there, the sounds are still in the windows DIR, but something looks different on the DOR layout, im sure the sounds were stored somewhere else too.
If i have to reformat my phone because of this im gonna freak damit, as this is not the first time.
Can anybody upload an image of the root DIR layout, or let me know of the sounds are stored anywhere else but the WIN DIR?
PS Where you get the 1.61 WWE rom?
I found a fix, use mem maid to transfer temp files to the storage card, including sounds, when you rebbot, it reverts to main memory but your sounds work again

/edit: you are my HERO!! Thanks, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NP I found it by mistake.
I would like to change the startup and shutdown image and audio for the Vibrant. Does anyone know who to do this?
Thank you.
Yeah I have to plug in headphones or cover the phone when rebooting. I hate the loud shutdown/startup.
I'm pretty sure you have to root the phone first because those files are stored on the phone's internal storage which is protected normally. I really hate those sounds... I can deal with the silly T-Mobile crap...
Any progress on this?
Well it was easy enough to find the shutdown audio file,
(/system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg)
but I'm still looking for the startup audio file (which seems louder I think). I'll confess that I haven't really tried as I don't have much time. Anyways, you first need to root the phone (easy, and it's on this forum), then I REALLY recommend downloading Root Explorer. You can find it on the market. It costs 2.50 Euros I believe, but it's well worth it. SuperUser will ask you for permission for "Root Explorer" have permission. Just say yes. Anyways, navigate to the location above and just delete the Shutdown_128.ogg file and that's it! No more annoying shutdown song. Someone look for the start up one too cuz I don't like it. Also, the t-mo animations during startup and shutdown are located at "/system/media/video/shutdown". They are all .png files and there are about 14 or so of them, and I don't know how the phone handles them so back them up before you mess with them.
On another note, since you already have "Root Explorer" installed, it would be cool to choose your own ringtones from the available "Ringtones" options in the settings, right? To do this, just navigate to "/system/media/audio/ringtones" and delete all the crappy ringtones from there and replace with your own edited mp3 ringtones. Same goes for the notifications in the notification folder.
Still not sure how to make the phone stop playing ringtones low at first, then loud. But like I said...no time.
UPDATE
Found it. It's in "/system/etc". It's called "PowerOn.wav". Just move or delete it.
Shut up the stupid
Alternatively, if you are a haptic-only or a no touch input feedback user you could go to:
Settings->Sound & Display->System volume
...and turn it all the way down.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732311
The startup file is in \etc\PowerOn.wav
Just rename it to something else (e.g. PowerOn.wav.bak), and you won't get the startup sound.
There is also a thread in the Vibrant Dev forum about completely removing the shutdown graphic. All this is easy if you're rooted.
Hi,
i rooted my Neo lately (based on 2.3.2 Gingerbreak and OTA to latest 368) and removed the junk (facebook related stuff, the golf game etc). All works well and the device works nice and smooth.
One strange thing I noticed is the ringtone and notification sound selection. I also removed quite a few ringtones I don't like and only kept 10 sound each for ringtones, notification and alarm. The system partition has more space free too so those ogg files are really gone. The funny thing is that the selection list now has every sound 2 or 3 times (and not once each) and even those that were removed are still there and playing. And that is AFTER a full wipe.
Any idea where they are coming from? I mean its working well and once set up I really don't bother how that list looks. But it quite funny that the device still sees and plays sounds that were completely removed from those directories.
Or does the system notice the backup directories of the same name on the sd card?
Have you tried to reboot your phone and see if the ringtones and notification sounds are still there? Because when I add/remove those things, I have to reboot my Arc to see the changes.
The device is actually seeing the backup folders on the SD card. After I zipped those an deleted the ogg files on the card, they were gone in the list too after a reboot. So as long as you have folders like 'ringtone' oder 'notification' on the card, the ogg files in there will be in the list too.
Hi;
In 4.4.2 I had replaced /system/media/S_Whistle.ogg with a different .ogg file that played a different sound.
In 5.0 I can replace this file but that damn whistle sound still plays.
I have made sure the permissions are fine. In Snapchat and Airdroid (the apps I notice still whistle) I have cleared the cache.
Is there a new location in Lollipop where notification sounds are stored?
I have, naturally, changed the default notification sound in Android Settings, but this only changes half the sounds.
Please help me get rid of that horrible whistle sound.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Hi;
Turns out the way to do it is to make a notification sound with .OGG format and select it via the 'Notification ringtone' menu, and make sure it's on an external SD card.
The way it was before (presumably because it was an MP3 file) I was sometimes getting the custom sound and sometimes getting the whistle, which was annoying.
Either way, I fixed it, so this thread can be closed.
Hi,
I've tried following online instructions for adding custom notification sounds, which say to copy the sound file to storage>emulated>notifications, and then selecting the sound via settings>[app of interest]. But when trying to use the custom sound for the messages app, the new sound doesn't appear in the list, and I can't find a way to select any other custom sound.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks...
restart the phone or use some app for media data base refresh
of the top of my head SD scanner or something like this is the name of the app
just search play store for Media data base scanner or rescan
Thanks for the tip. I've rebooted, and downloaded/run SD Scanner, with no joy. The file I'm trying to use is in mp3 format; is that a problem?
FWIW, the problem S10 is my wife's phone. I used the recommended process last night to add the same mp3 file to my ancient Nexus 6P, and in a strange sequence of events, it didn't 'take' last night when we checked, but when I got my 1st text this morning, the notification sound had changed to the new sound.
The S10's available sounds under 'general notifications'>'sound' include a category of 'custom', which has 'Facebook Pop' as its only entry, but I can't find any way to access the 'custom' category to add a file to it.
Again, thanks for any assistance.

hmmm just to be clear you added mp3 to Notification folder (the default one) and i wont show up in app when trying to change the sound or it wont show up in samsung's notification sound selection? (also try adding the sound to ringtones folder)
also you could try converting the sound to *.OGG see if that does the trick?
Correct. Added to Notification folder, but file name doesn't show up it the selection list for messages app sounds, nor any of the general 'sounds and vibration' subcategories. I'll try to convert the file to .ogg format and retry.
Thanks; will post my results.

Converted to .ogg, added to notifications, ringtones, and the just-noticed 'sounds' folder. I can now see the file under 'settings'> 'sounds and vibration'>'ringtone' in the 'custom' category. I can change the ringtone to the new file. But it does *not* appear anywhere in the settings>notification sound section, nor as an option when going down the menu tree for the messages app notifications. The ringtone category also includes multiple other custom audio files, but the notification sound category has only that 'facebook pop' file under the custom category.
OK, I tried multiple other things, and in the process, discovered (via a file explorer app that I'm comfortable with) that there's a folder under storage>emulated> called 'mobile content'. In *that* folder are folders with the same names as under the 'emulated' parent folder: data, dcim, download, notifications, ringtones, sounds, etc.
So.... I copied the files to notifications, ringtones, and sounds, and now the desired file shows up in the messages list. And, we now get the desired sound as a messages notification.
Thanks for the help, and a heads-up to the next person that has to deal with this. The phone had a hard reset before being gifted to my wife from her son. We used Samsung's transfer app to move her data/apps from her Samsung S8+ to this phone, and we haven't created any new folders beyond those created by Samsung.
Again, thanks for the help; without the new ideas I'd never have dug that deep into the directory tree on the phone.
Charlie
Followup:
Apparently you can get a messages 'notification' (for what?) that's different from a 'new messages' 'notification'.
Duh. Nothing I've found online about the Samsung s10 mentions this.
