I've been using a sound clip from one of my favorite old DOS games as a boot sound and I've been very disappointed to find that there is a 7 second limit to PowerOn.wav. The file still plays but only the first 7 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this limit and how we can disable it?
P.S.
If you're wondering what awesome DOS sounds I've been using I've attached the clip. Betcha can't guess that game.

Fixed file to 7 sec for you, deleted the beep at the end and remove a little silence here and there.
File is now only 7 sec long.
NICE team work....I'll drop a thanks just 'cus.
bump would also like to know how to extend poweron.wav limitations

Good job. It is indeed from Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. My favorite old DOS video game.

Thanks a lot for your work but the length of the file was never the issue and I'm more than capable of editing audio files. The problem is that the phone only plays the first 7 seconds of the file no mater how long the file is. I want to hear the whole 9 seconds of audio.
I wish I knew how to make it longer then 7 seconds for those of us that do not know does someone mind explaining the process of changing ones boot up sound
In case anyone had any interest in this boot sound I did a little creative editing on it. It now has less static and fits inside the time limit without trimming off the beeps. I also found that the exact time limit is actually 325,000 samples @ 44100 Hz or 7.36 seconds.
great info to know...helped me fix a problem i was having thanks
Where does this go in root explorer?... What directory?

you have to extract the PowerOn.wav file to your system/etc folder.

I've saved some notes on my xda/wallaby in which there are small embedded sound files.
Is there a way,either within the XDA or in windows that I can separate off the sound part of the note so the sound can be used in another windows programme?
I've tried the basic way of cut and paste but as you'd guess - no dice.
Any ideas out there
Thanks all for reading.
Perhaps I've found the ans to my own q
whoops, I've just looked back over my old posts and have seen I asked and got a reply to a similar q before.
I'll try that software to see whether it can 'pull' the embedded sound file from the note -
But If anyone knows this does / doesn't work I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.
Thanks
Bummer! No good, doesn't run. It appears to need W2003 and my xda's using W2000.
Any other ideas people?
Have you tried other software?
Hi,
I had the same question, but since I could'nt save my notes as mp3, I downloaded RESCO Audio Recorder (I use v3.21), and it works great. There are others that offer this possibility, you could look for one that fits your necessities.
You could also play your note while using this audio recorder software, so you get only the sound you want... I don't know if it will really work, but it's an idea.
ref the resco prog ...
Hi there, just logged back in tonight 5:45 pm UK time, thanks for the suggestion.
I'm downloading it to my xda right now so I'' post fback for others later
BTW here's the link I used for future ref
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/downloads.asp
regards
It Works ! ! !
Hi there, it works
I Installed Resco then started recording as mp3 whilst at the same time I opened the Notes file and pressed play on the embedded sound file.
So in effect the sound went 'out' the speaker embedded and back 'in' the earpiece to become an mp3
And that could then be taken into my PC
No real loss worries as the file is just 'plain vanilla' voice not music
Thanks again
XDA = 1, rest of the PDA world = 0
Yippie
getting mp3s out of an xda
Just to confirm, the resco prog works perfectly in recording output from the loudspeaker.
I then passed the mp3 through audiacity a free open source small-scale studio style mixing programme and then uploaded the finished article.
If anyone is interested, here's the link to the file.
www.MySpace.com/querubim
the sound file in question is the one called 'Dreams In The Night'

Great!
I'm glad it worked... And you're right, the sound quality remains good enough, at least for the convertion of notes to mp3...
Now I use this software directly to record my classes in mp3 format... The main problem now remains with the battery, that lasts less than 3 hours (I also use a infrared keyboard to make my notes while the recording)... I´m trying to change the battery for a new one and also getting an external charger, so I don't need to concern about it anymore... Let's see if I can get it to work...

this cab deactivated the sounds (shutter) when start a videorec. or shoot a photo
+ up the recordtime from 10 min. to 80 min.
You can use "Resco Explorer" to replace/remove protected files.
Few days ago, I downloaded Resco Explorer v7.05 and I have used it to replace the "windows/sonority.wav" with a absolutely quiet *.wav file.
And then there is no sound when I am taking pic now! Yo!

An alternative you may wish to consider is use of the attached .wav (as used in my own ROM) which is a 'quiet' version of the standard shutter sound file. (I used the original and simply edited to a reducaed amplitude). That still gives you a positive feedback when the shutter is pressed but without upsetting the surrounding peace / nervous subjects, etc.
View attachment ShutterSound.zip
To use copy the file onto the device by USB. Then rename and copy on top of the original in ..\windows using Resco File Explorer (or equivalent) or copy as is to ..\windows and edit the registry to this file name.

Hi. I'd really like to know if there is a way of changing the stock "touch sound" on the s3. I think its quite annoying and would love to be able to change it. Is there an app or anything?
Thanks.

SGS3 Sounds won't play - DETAILS ???
This does NOT work as easy as described, i've done it properly.
There has to be some definite soundfile description (stereo,
mono, datarate etcetc) Normal rate, mono/stereo is a no go!!!
I converted sounds (wave to ogg), uploaded them (via root etc)
and exchanged them the original sounds. Thing is, they just do
NOT play back. I did a conversion with a standart program,
files are .ogg ..Mono or Stereo does not matter. Won't play.
Actually to be able to exchange/overwrite the original sounds
IT might be a good idea to just rename them. (after deleting
the non playing copied sounds and renaming the originals
to their standart name, all standart sounds play back again.)
That is for:S_HW-Touch.ogg + TW_Touch.ogg + PowerOn.ogg
UPDATED:
The original system sounds of the SGS3 4.1.1 are in stereo
format at 44khz. That's for the BLUAAAB sound and the start
chime KLOOOAAAANG (..naahh, that was the windows thing)
Lame Update:
LAME-Update 2:
Even when using the original soundfile, silencing the sound
with an editor, mixing a new sound "over it" ..which leaves
the original soundfile size AND saving it with the same name
with the same datarate in the same stereo-format ..SOUNDS
won't play back. THAT IS LAME. Also very lame of the super
soundesigners at Samsin IS that all files are in stereo. The
startsound is 80k (stereo) but could have been 40 (in mono).
It's a very lame concept. the phone has ONE mono speaker.
Also lame are the SGS3 sounds, come on. That's all stupid.
Anyone know if the sound made when typing on Blackberry 10 devices can be used in the same way for Android devices?
>>Faultyy, I've been wondering the same thing ever since BB OS 10 came out -- that key tap sound is so satisfying to listen to, I really want to use it on my Android keyboard. Gonna continue trawling Google to see if someone's managed to extract the sound file....
GOT IT - downloaded the BlackBerry OS 10 developer kit, ran an app on the device simulator, captured the keypress audio using Audio Hijack Pro as a max quality .WAV file, trimmed and adjusted volume, saved as .OGG file, and here we are!
This .OGG sound file needs to be extracted, and renamed to whatever the stack Android keypress sound file is, which is located in /system/media/audio/ui. For Samsung phones, you need to rename this sound file as "TW_SIP" (without the quotes) and then rename the original sound file to "TW_SIP1" in case you want to go back to the original.

criptyque, I was able to extract and rename but my S4 keyboard still has the horrid typewrite sound. I renamed the original TW_SIP and added_orig to the end just so I could keep it. This did not change the sound after a reboot. Did I miss something? Also, because I am a SwiftKey user and they refuse to add different sounds to their app I'd like to apply the same to SwiftKey. Searching produced 0 results but there is bound to be a way to do this. Why these developers incorporate such irritating sounds is beyond me. Thanks!:good:

Same thing here.
I followed the steps but I still have the same annoying TW key sound.
Any kind help?
Gosh this was nearly two years ago now, please forgive me for I can't remember in great detail the process! But I would have thought that as long as you named the new sound file as TW_SIP.ogg and put that in the folder specified, and obviously had root, it should work after a restart.

Thank you but unfortunately...not!
Even if I delete the TW_SIP.ogg file and I reboot, I still have this sound in typing
Really odd thing
Can any1 help with a better ogg file? The one posted earlier is not like the original.
Thanks!
So here's the deal, I love a certain soundtrack on Mushroom Wars.
Someone uploaded a version of it from the PS3 version [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY54xegYEX4 ] but it seems the audio's been compressed by youtube. If possible I want to get the .ogg or whatever native format it's in, un-truncated.
So I've taken the .apk [ uploaded it here https://www.mediafire.com/?7vih6xsb0murslz ] and unzipped it and found ./assets/sound2/ which is about 11MB. I sorted by the highest size, and it shows several soundtracks, but none of them is the right one. The rest are short sound effects.
I know for a fact that the music has played on a multiplayer mode, on my tablet a couple weeks or months back. [I checked thenk, but same as now, couldn't find it].
If anyone can show me where the music file is or upload it, that would be great.

If you can record it with your phone and post that, I can get a high quality version (via ps3) if that helps?

No, it doesn't really help because I never know when the soundtrack will come on [it's somewhat random which track will play, depending on the map, which is also random]. Even then, it would have game sound effects mixed in, and I just want the raw track.
I just cannot figure out where they are hiding that specific track, or why they would try to do it. The others are easily found but I'm still drawing a blank why they [Mushroom wars developers] would do that.

I was going thru the files (thanks for the apk) and noticed that on the music tracks, they're long and have like 10 songs in each track (or something like that). Basically, it's like 1 long file and every minute or so there's a new sound track in the file. Did you listen to all of them?
I swear that on PS3 there's a "CHICKIE" sound effect and in the apk I only found a "Chingie" sounding thing. I'm gonna have to play it on the PS3 and get the sound I heard cuz I want it for a notification tone
EDIT:
Also, as for recording it, if you can get at least a 10 second snippet of the 'track' you want, I'm willing to hunt thru the apk for it. Wouldn't hurt, right?
i have found some soundtracks of mushroom wars on SOUNDCLOUD.
