Good morring
Today i am trying to make my own ringtones in wav format,i am using cool edit pro 2.0 and all is going well HOWEVER when i save the cropped mp3 files as wav a 10 second clip is saving at around 2mb. Can i make the final wav smaller somehow?????
Hi there
WAV is the standard format for PC Audio (as AVI is for video) -and can come in a variety of bit rates but 16 Bit/ 44.1 Khz is CD quality, unfortunately the high bit rate means that you eat up a lot of storage (there is a calculation but I can't remember it - something like 10Mb a minute ??)
To get the file size smaller you need to lower the sample rate to something like 8 bit/22Khz.
But I'm guessing that the ring tone is a piece of music or something, due to the file size, and there's no way you'll be able to reduce the size without suffering degradation. For things like "rings" and "bleeps" you wouldn't have to worry...
Basically the very thing that enables you to compress a WAV and make it still sound good is MP3 compression, but we aren't allowed to use them............... :x
Surely someone could hack it tho? It occurs to me that a more 'microsoft' solution would be to support WMA for ringtones..
What actually plays them back? If only it were Mediaplayer eh?
So are you saying there is NO way to do what im asking????
like spence posted then you can make your wav files smaller by lowering the samplerate and the bit resolution
samplerate deside what the higest frequence being played is
because of nyquist rule you have to sample with 2 times the higest frequence you will be playign so
if you lower the frequense to 22Khz then 11Khz will be the higest frequence it will play
when it's a ring tone to a phone which speaker is not really THX then 11Khz is ok
the bit from 8 to 16 deside how big a difference there is between amplitude og the samples
i sugest that you mess around with the file lowering sample rate and or the bit resolution and compare them by quality and size
hello...
what piece of software would you suggest doing this with?
is there away to make the .wav file (ringtone) louder without making the volume louder on the phone?
thanks

cooledit
or
sound forge
are good programs too mess around with sound (I'm poet and i dident even know it )
and yes you can raise the volume in the file
using cool edit pro i have done what you suggested with regard to quality however the end result (the size of the wav) does not change
try changeing the sample from stereo to mono as well, I have seen massive reductions when useing just mono which is perfectly good for a ringtone, I have a 22 second wav with 16000 Mono 16bit and it sounds fine and is only 692 Kb
you may be missing something I think - these actions should make the file smaller, they have to.. You need to aim for "convert sample rate" which will be in Edit somewhere..
Failing that send me the wav file and I'll sort it for you
I use Wavelab personally - I'm into audio processing/editing big style..
Yeah think i must but in saying that using sound forge 6 seems to have helped as i now have a 28second cip at just 1.1 meg (where as before it was 5.5meg) but im sure there is a way to SQUEEZ it a little smaller
make sure it's
8bit
and make sure it's 11Khz (you could try to see how it sounds if you make it lower ?)
make sure it's mono as in joinet stereo
why such a long clip anyway ?
i think it can repeat somehow like if you have a clip where you yell
"the phones ringing einstein" should it not play that over and over again ?
posted this before, but here goes again... two really nice free tools for doing all the audio you ever want:
Audacity - you can apply filters, reducing noise, increasing decreasing bass or amplification
www.dbpoweramp.com - great tool, allows you to change almost any audio format to any audio format. Plus allows you to save wav files in any bit rate/frequency, thereby reducing size (quality) to suit your need.
hope this helps.
Even easier - use Winamp. It has a diskwriter plugin (in the output preferences) which can be configured to push out good quality SMALL audio. I've manged to get a whole song as a ringtone in just 2.5mb
Is there an option to change any system sound other than startup sound (etc/PowerOn.wav) ? If yes - How ?
I'm interested in changing:
- battery sounds (low, charging, charger connected/disconnected, batt full)
- camera sounds (shutter / focus)
- slide sound (unlock) - if possible to set such.
- wifi connection established/lost sound - if possible to set such.
- usb connected/disconnected sound
- gps fixed/lost sound
- bt connected/disconnected sound
PS. I'm using CF-ROOT v4.1 kernel if it does matter. I could write couple of shell scripts to do all stuff I want but how to make them run on those events?
Just love to customise everything
go to system/media/audio using rootexplorer.. you'll find most of the notifications there, ogg files i believe
That would then require you to match the file length with whatever you want to replace it with renaming new file as old one in the same format .

I don't think the file length matters, it just has to be in the correct ogg format (sampling rate, and bit rate) and the same filename as the one you are replacing.
ogg file?
How do you create an ogg file? I am interested in doing this as well. Are their programs you can download from the internet to convert or do you just name the file .ogg?
I think it works with .wav as well.. At least that worked for me in boot anim sound.

Sorry for hijacking the thread abit, but if i only would want to silence these sound, i only need to rename/remove the files? Or will that create problems?
Nah just rename the file..

hello, would like to help in the forum. I have a Xperia X8 and found two wake-up call for other models of cell and converted to a high quality. Let me share with you who are starting in android, like me!!
installation:
1 - Download the attached file Alarms.zip
2 - Extract to a folder on your memory card and rename txt to mp3.
3 - Open with your music player and apply it as a ringtone for alarm clock
(In the X8 is only set as ringtone it appears in the list of alarm clock tones.)
Regards to all.
Thanks mate!
Hi, I am running Jellyblast v3.03 on my Galaxy Ace s5830i but when I try to lower or higher the volume it just lowers or highers the bluetooth-in call volume and not for what app I am on e.g. music
Edit: I have fixed this!
Also I would like to move the clock to the right, but the zip file to flash has been removed, does anyone have the correct link? Thank you.
