how to change unlock sound

Im helping some of my friends out because they didnt know how to change the unlock and lock sound, im sorry if there is already a post about it. first and formost i am not responsible for any damages done to your phone.
what you will need:
the sound of your choice (any kind of file)
ogg converter (google it and you will find it)
root explorer
and you must be rooted to do this!
1) convert the mp3s or mp4s etc to ogg file..
2) once finish rename the file as Unlock.ogg or Lock.ogg ( capital the U and the L)
3) put it in your sd card
4) open root explorer
5) find the file, hold it and copy the file
6)push the bac button and make sure it says "mount r/w"
7)go to "system"
8) go to "media"
9)go to "audio"
10) go to "ui"
paste it and a message about overwritting the sound and click yes
test it out... if i was able to help you please push the thanks button

Modify the build.prop in its original original location itself and then save it & reboot, don't copy build.prop to other folder then modify it and then re-paste in it's original location you'll stuck with a bootloop, just modify it in it's original location. Btw next time before making a thread do make sure where should it belong this is a [Q] Question thread so should have been in QA, help & troubleshooting section, next time be sure to know where you have to make a new thread.

My apologies for the wrong section. I'm new sorry.
However, I forget to write that what you just suggested (modify it directly without make a copy) it's the first thing that I tried but with no success.
After I pressed the button save, Explorer app prompts an advise saying that an error occured and that the changes have not been applied.
And now? :crying:

In system > build.prop (original location) is the device mounted to R/W?

Hi,
First, this line "ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100" does nothing...
After that if you change the location of a file, when you move it again you need to set the correct permissions like the original files, other than that you can encounter a bootloop.
Like RuchRha said modifie the file directly, no need to move it...
And if I were you I'll make a Nandroid backup before playing with file system...

These are the file permissions that I see into the file properties.
rw- r-- r--
Is this what you was asking me?

If you can see an option of Mount R/W instead click on it and it should change/show you Mount R/O instead of showing mount R/W, when the time when system is not mounted to R/W and you try to edit buildprop and save it, it shows error n doesn't gets saved.

Nope,
Read Only system:
Read/Write:
You need to mount the system as R/W.
EDIT: too late...

To the best of my uderstanding the free version does not permit such kind of change.
Is there any free app that I can use?

Increase your volume

Hi friends, this is my first aport so I hope you like it.
If you think your speaker volume is so low, maybe you want to try this mod, I have just change some numbers in the code mixer_paths.xml if you want to try it you can download it
This mod is for android 4.4.4
Just rename the file, should be like this "mixer_paths.xml"
Put it on system/etc
Use root explorer, give permissions rw-r-r (0644)
Thanks to kulvertti for advice me

I would advise zipping rather than rarring as more software (especially on tablet supports it). I was going to take a look at it, but would have to copy to my pc, unrar and then put back and frankly I cba! ?

You dont have to do it, just rename the file, instead of "mixer_paths.xml.rar" rename to "mixer_paths.xml" and place it in "system/etc"

Lol. I just re-read the first post. Didn't realise it was just named rar, rather than being compressed with rar!

I cant move it to the etc folder, it says permission denied, even tho I have root acces, I also cant changed permission using es root Explorer, may I know why
Thanks.

Change water drip sound on dialer

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the water drop sound when using the keypad dialer, I know you can turn it off, but I would really like to throw in my own sound file in there if possible. I am on a stock 5.0 TW ROM, rooted. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thanks.

Get a sound you like, rename it Dialer_New.ogg and copy it to /system/media/audio/ui and overwrite the original one. Backup the original sound first.

I use a different method
-Copy SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk (or similar) from system/priv-app to your desktop
-Open with winrar or 7zip (no need to extract or decompile)
-Navigate to res/raw
-The ogg file is called Touch_ripple. It should be the only one
-Rename any sound to Touch_ripple.ogg and copy to res/raw, choose 'store' as storage method
-Close and push to system/priv-app, fix permissions, reboot
This is the only method that has worked for me. If replacing Dialer_New works I would like to know.
