[Q] Extract audio files from apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I like the keyboard click sound of the Windows 7 phone. The sound file is included in the GoKeyboard app. I renamed the apk file to zip and opened. I could see all the images (graphics) used in the application. But, I couldn't find the audio file. Can an audio file be stored somewhere else. How do I find it?
The sound of Windows 7 phone keyboard click is very soft and pleasant. I want to replace my default phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) click sound with the Win 7 sound file.
Or, if anybody already have the audio file of the Windows 7 click audio file, please provide the link where I can find it.
Thanks.

Google for the sound. Am sure it has been uploaded somewhere.
It's quite possible that the audio is a midi sequence generated live if you couldn't find it or it might be in res. It's also possible that the audio was downloaded after you installed the app and stored somewhere else.
If you couldn't find it in apk, it would be pretty hard to search everywhere else unless you have a clean phone.
Just Google for the sound. Am sure someone else has uploaded it.

How to decode
I've got some rare mp3 sound files with good meditation inside apk. Extracted them with apktool but they looks encoded somehow. How to encode them to make them listenable? If anybody know please help!

PRoblem with Audio Manager
I have installed but run partial because i dont see the bottom bar and i have an error "Load RC fail"
Help me...
Thanks
Is it just me or doesn't this program sort the music on the albums correctly. Seems like it just does alphabetical and not by real album track order as WMP does.
I'd use it all the time if it weren't for that. Is there a way around that? I don't see anyway to set it up sorting wise.
Woo got this running on my samsung blackjack aka i600. Its the one thing i missed from my SPV E650. Changed to the blackjack because the screen kept breaking on the SPV gutted as it was an awesome lil phone.

Yep, I confirm, and it is a reason for me to use WMP.
Is everyones' font on main streen of HTC audio manager (artist, title etc...) so small? I run it on QVGA screen and it is really tiny - like 8 px :/
Any solutions please?
Anyone figure out a registry entry or something to adjust the font on the Audio Manager? I need it like 12 or 14 point... anyone?

I've been using TCPMP, a very neat player with lots of plugins for both audio and video playback, works wonderfully, has many options (I mean many!), even a benchmark , in a few words I love it!
You should give it a try, and with the plug ins you can get flv playback, mp4 playback and whoever knows what may come out soon
Used in combination with Pocket DivX encoder works like a charm with my lobby, the only weak point is when you try to play WMV files intended for PC, the WMP has a bit more power, but who said one program eliminates the other
Is there an updated version of the Audio Manager?
There's some bugs in version 1.0, such as sorting by trackname vs track #
HE-AAC playback doesn't seem to work properly, SBR is not decoded, sounds dull
I've contacted HTC but they weren't be able to help much, gotten no responce after sending them a sample file...
Most recent version i've seen on the forums version 1.02 build 1017.717 should have the fix to sort by track #

I heard you can use the Audio Manager to make ringtones is there already a thread on here for it.. just wondering if anyone knows how to make ringtones with it
just select Set as ringtone in Menu and then select Trim. This is where you can crop the song and save it as the ringtone
thanks for this! working on i780

I just recently changed my ATT tilt with the windows 6.0 version to the 6.1 version. I want to download the HTC Audio Manager so I can manage my ring-tones. However, I downloaded the link that was provided by rickwyatt and run it to my laptop but could not find the setup to install it on my laptop to transfer it to my phone. I tried also to copy the audio-zip link and paste it to my storage card while my phone was syncing but it didn't work. Can some one tell me how to or get the HTC manager so I can transfer it to my phone and what are the protocols. Thanks,

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.

[Q] Galaxy s3 changing "touch sounds"

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.

Nope, since you need to mount your system position as writeable

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.

[Q] Blackberry 10 Keyboard Sound File On Android?

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.

mp3-Troubles with Febuary-Patch 00WW_1_400_SP01

Hi there,
after installing the Securitypatch for Febuary 2020, I found out that mp3-files wont be played on the phone. I tried differend players, but all failed. Other audio-files of format ogg are played furthermore.
Maybe the licence for mp3-files is missing in that patch?
Regards, Jens

Have you tried selecting the mp3 file from a file manager app instead of a player; or maybe the opposite different player and select mp3 file.
Have you tried different mp3 files?
No issues on my end.
Might also check default file association. Phone may be trying to launch corrupt app by default, even when you are trying to use a different app. It has been known to happen.
Check
SETTINGS - - > APPS & NOTIFICATIONS - - > expand Advanced and look to see if you have any app set to default for audio files.
If so delete the association.
It does not delete the app just the default launch everytime the type of file tries to open (run).
Hope this helps.
Sent from my Nokia 7.2 using XDA Labs
I can confirm this bug too. It's already been posted on several forums, one even regarding a Nokia 4.2, so it's not just Nokia 7.2.
Someone suggested that only mp3 files that are stored in the SD card aren't usable, but I have all my mp3 files on my internal memory and I still get this bug. (I tried removing my SD card anyway but nothing changed)
Not all files aren't working, though. Some mp3 files are working but most of them aren't.
A temporary fix is installing VLC. It's working fine for me. There are other 3rd party players that supposedly still work but I haven't tried any. Musicolet and Google Files app aren't working for me for sure.
It's a very annoying bug! I hope a fix is on the way :/
